"The villain is willing to change his past mistakes, join the Taiping Dao, and fight against violence with all the wise men!"
"Please, sir, give me a chance!"
Zhou Ze kowtowed repeatedly and begged for mercy.
However, a long time passed and he didn't get any response.
Looking up, it turned out that the reason the female rebel stopped was because there was an extra person in front of her.
A man wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat!
Water ghost!
Zhou Ze quickly lowered his head, wailing crazily in his heart.
One female rebel left me powerless to resist, and now there's another one?
At this time, the man in the hat spoke.
"Master Nong Yue expected that you were in trouble and ordered me to come to the rescue. Now it seems that you don't need help."
"It's just a blood-clad guard flag, it's not worth mentioning."
Sun Yourong's voice was cold and there was no hint of intimacy, "Where are Lou Xin and the others?"
"Master Nong Yue orders you to meet at Fengyang Mansion."
The man in the hat replied, then his eyes fell on Zhou Ze, "I already know the matter, leave this person to me."
"Okay."
Sun Yourong didn't think too much and walked away with a single step.
Soon, only the man in the hat and Zhou Ze were left nearby.
Zhou Ze's body was filled with excitement, and he quickly climbed up on his hands and knees, "Sir... Sir! I have admired the heroes of Taiping Road since I was a child, but I have never had the chance..."
"You can go."
The bamboo hat is humane.
"???"
Zhou Ze was stunned and couldn't believe his ears.
Go?
Is this rebel so easy to talk to?
"Sir, did you just say...let me go?"
Zhou Ze asked uncertainly.
The man in the bamboo hat said nothing.
Zhou Ze struggled, but after a moment he stood up carefully and began to retreat.
No matter! Let’s go first!
"Oh, let me remind you."
The man in the hat suddenly said, "You'd better not rush into the city and think about how to change your appearance."
"What do you mean?"
Zhou Ze's expression changed and he stopped.
"Fu Yuanlong, as the chief bannerman of the Blood-Shirt Guards, lost an important figure in Taiping Dao because of his greed for power and reckless advancement."
"And at this time, you happened to be involved with the rebels."
"No matter what the truth is, what do you think Fu Yuanlong will do?"
"!!!"
Zhou Ze was horrified and looked at the man in the bamboo hat.
No doubt about it.
In order to protect himself, Fu Yuanlong will definitely label him as a rebel!
As for what the truth is, is it important?
Even if he rushes back to Canglong now, he will only invite Fu Yuanlong to kill and silence him!
Instantly.
Zhou Ze is devastated.
That's more than ten years of hard work...
Even if he doesn't rely on Xu Youan's black money, he can survive for two more years at most, and his accumulation will be enough to break through to the ninth level of enlightenment.
At that time, you will be eligible to be promoted to a county magistrate without even waiting for the general examination.
There is still hope for the rest of my life.
But now, this hope has been ruined.
Zhou Ze felt ridiculous when he thought of his lucky thoughts just now.
Why is the man in the hat so kind to let himself go?
Because I have no choice but to go.
No.
It should be said that there is only one way left to go.
A road of no return.
Thinking of this, Zhou Ze sighed and knelt down again.
"The villain is willing to join Taiping Dao, please accept me."
"Heh."
The man in the bamboo hat smiled brightly, "Taipingdao is not something people like you can join."
"!!!"
Zhou Ze suddenly raised his head, "What?!"
The man in the hat is a stronger being than Fu Yuanlong.
Talking so much nonsense to yourself, what else could it be if it wasn’t to conquer yourself?
"I'm just curious."
The man in the bamboo hat turned around and walked away, "You betrayed the imperial court, and you are not accepted by Taiping Dao."
"How to survive?"
………
Chengdong.
Xu Chong led a group of government officials to a house.
This is Zhou Ze’s private residence in Canglong.
It's not big either. The small courtyard on the second floor is nothing compared to the Xu Mansion. It looks very clean.
"Surround this place and don't let anyone go."
Xu Chong waved his hand.
Immediately, all the government officials rushed out, surrounded one by one, and smashed the door.
"Who is it? Aren't you afraid of losing your head if you eat the heart of a bear or the courage of a leopard?"
The concierge cursed and opened the courtyard door. When he saw it was someone from the Yamen, his posture became a little more restrained: "Did my master ask you to come? If you have anything to say, please tell me immediately."
"According to Master Xu's order, the Zhou residence will be searched!"
The government servant who smashed the door said with a ferocious smile.
"Seized?"
The concierge immediately became angry, "You are so brave, do you know whose house this is?"
Snap!
The yamen servant slapped the concierge with a slap on the ear, and whipped the concierge around three times.
Now, they don’t dare to bully the common people, but they still don’t dare to attack the family members of the rebels?
At this time, a woman came out with a lazy and arrogant expression.
It is Zhou Ze’s only daughter, Zhou Qiunan.
"What's so noisy?"
"Miss!"
As soon as the concierge saw the visitor, a Gulu got up from the ground, covered his face and shouted: "These people said they want to seal this place, miss, you must tell the master..."
"Seized?"
Zhou Qiunan's delicate brows furrowed, and she looked at the yamen servant with disgust, "My father, Zhou Ze, is your chief registrar. Now, kneel down and crawl out."
"Good guy..."
The yamen servant laughed angrily and was about to say something, but Xu Chong's voice sounded from behind.
"Get out of the way."
The officer shuddered and turned sideways.
Xu Chong stepped in and looked at Zhou Qiunan calmly: "Your father Zhou Ze has been confirmed to be a rebel on Taiping Road. I have been ordered by Mr. Fu Yuanlong of the Blood-clad Guards Banner to raid the Zhou family!"
"No way! You are lying!"
Zhou Qiunan screamed, her voice harsh, "Where is my father? I want to see my father!"
"Do it."
Xu Chong lazily chatted with her, and immediately gave an order, "As long as you can move it, whether it is people or things, take them all back."
"Yes!"
All the government officials filed in.
Seeing so many people in uniform, Zhou Qiunan finally realized that something serious was going on.
It's a pity that she didn't have any choice, so she could only cry and be dragged down.
The house raid begins.
I have to say that the government officials are very skilled in carrying out this kind of task.
It only took half an hour to turn the entire house upside down.
And until the end, they discovered that Zhou Ze was so rich!
None of the antique calligraphy and paintings, treasures and curios were missing, and even the gold and silver were only a few hundred taels.
However, the Daqing treasure banknotes found in Zhou Qiunan's pillow turned out to be as huge as eighty thousand taels!
"It's just...I can't believe it..."
Zhao Liu's tongue was in knots, "How much is his annual salary...it would take him hundreds of years of work to earn that much, right?"
"How could this happen...Zhou Ze seems to have done nothing. Where did he get so many possessions..."
"I can't understand either..."
Everyone was whispering.
"This is not something you should worry about."
Xu Chong ordered in a deep voice, "Seal them all and take them away."
As soon as he finished speaking, the eyes of all the government officials dimmed.
Even Zhao Liu looked a little disappointed.
It’s not surprising that they were like this. If following Xu Chongruo wouldn’t even lead to a house raid, what would we do in the future?
"Okay, who are you showing this to?"
Xu Chong scalped Zhao Liu angrily, "You dare to think about money for rebelling against thieves, aren't you afraid of losing your head? I will say hello to the households when I get back, and each person will receive half a tael."
"Huh?"
Everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.
Half a tael is not much, and it is far worse than taking out the 10% that is the unspoken rule of confiscating a house and dividing it equally.
But this is clean money, so take it and feel safe.
Suddenly, everyone was excited, and the last bit of disappointment and dissatisfaction disappeared.
