At dawn, it was time to leave, but the two corpses were still hanging out by the door.
Wu Xu said to Xu Zhiqiong: "If you are afraid, just stay in the Yamen."
Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said: "There are thousands of households here, so there is nothing to be afraid of."
Wu Xu was very satisfied with Xu Zhiqiong's attitude: "You are injured. You are allowed to take a day off and go back and have a good rest. Remember, no matter who comes to you, even if it is Zhou Kairong who comes to your door, don't
Just ignore it and just run back to the Yamen."
Xu Zhiqiong leaned over to salute and left the Yamen.
With Wu Xu taking care of me, there's nothing to worry about. Just like Qianhu said, if you can't do it, just run to the Yamen. Running is what I'm good at. As long as I don't meet the eunuch, no one can catch up with me.
But it was impossible to live in the yamen. The two babies in his arms kept kicking, making Xu Zhiqiong feel itchy.
I have been promoted to the ninth level, and I am finally no longer at the lowest level of cultivation.
…
Outside the Zhang Deng Yamen, a woman in gorgeous clothes was holding Zhou Haiqu's body and crying heartbrokenly.
She is Zhou Haiqu’s mother, Mrs. Zhang.
Standing next to him was Zhou Haiqu's father, Zhou Kairong's eldest brother Zhou Kaiyao.
Zhou Kaiyao kept wiping his tears, but these two tears were forced out.
Zhou Haifan didn't look like him, and Zhang was pregnant at the wrong time.
Although various evidences show that this matter has not made others easier, and his brother Zhou Kairong has always raised this child as his own son...
But Zhou Kaiyao tried hard for a long time, but still couldn't cry.
Zhou Kairong, a doctor in the Qing Dynasty's official department, was standing at the gate of the office in charge of the lamp. He wanted to wait for an explanation. Whoever killed his nephew would have to pay with his life!
At dawn, the lamp keeper's office had been closed. Zhou Kairong ordered one of his subordinates to knock on the door. After waiting for a long time, a lamp keeper on duty came out yawning.
"what is the matter?"
The chief said to Deng Shou: "Can you please send a message to Wu Qianhu and tell him that Doctor Zhou, from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, has been waiting at the gate of your office for a long time. Ask Qianhu to come out and give an explanation."
Deng Shou looked out the door and said, "Which Doctor Zhou is this?"
The boss frowned and said, "Are you asking this question without knowing anything? You guys killed the man, our young master's body is here, why are you pretending to be confused!"
Hearing this, the Deng Shou laughed and said, "It turns out we are here for these two corpses! This is the verdict. Qianhu has ordered that a copy be made specifically for the family members of the deceased, so that you can learn from it in the future, especially for such accomplices.
The sky net is very sparse, let him surrender as soon as possible, take it!"
The principal asked in surprise: "What accomplice?"
Deng Shou said impatiently: "Don't you recognize the black and white writing on the paper?"
The principal opened the verdict and read it over. He was dumbfounded and quickly gave the verdict to Zhou Kairong.
Zhou Kairong took a look at the verdict and his veins popped.
The main gist of the verdict is as follows: Zhou Haijun robbed a common girl on the street at night with the intention of selling it (trafficking). According to the Daxuan Law, the crime should be punished. The lantern holder was arrested on the spot when the crime occurred. Zhou Haifan resisted arrest, and the lantern holder punished her, and there were other accomplices.
If they resist, they will also be killed. There are several other accomplices who are on the run. They will be wanted by notice. Those who capture them alive will be rewarded heavily, those who are killed will also be rewarded heavily, and those who report their whereabouts will also be rewarded.
Zhou Kairong wanted to tear the verdict into pieces, but also felt that it was evidence to impeach Wu Xu in the future, so he kept it in his arms, pointed at the lamp and said: "Let Wu Xu come out to see me!"
Deng Shou yawned profusely: "Master Qianhu has other important matters, please wait until dark before coming back."
After saying that, the yamen door was closed.
Zhou Kairong gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, if you don't see me, don't blame me for being ruthless. I'll go find Zhong Shen!"
Zhou Kairong went directly to the Sizheng Hall of the Imperial City, where Zhong Shen warmly welcomed him. Zhou Kairong got straight to the point and wanted to give his nephew an explanation.
After hearing what happened, Zhong Shen nodded and said: "Yuanfang (Zhou Kairong, also known as Yuanfang), Wu Qianhu sent the case file this morning. I am asking someone to review it. Within three months, I will definitely give you a report."
reply."
Zhou Kairong said in astonishment: "Three months? But we still have to wait three months!"
Zhong Shen said: "Since it involves human lives, we must review it more carefully."
"You also know that human lives are involved, and that is my nephew's life!" Zhou Kairong stood up and shouted, "When the Deng Yamen kills people, do they ever think that human lives are at stake!"
"Yuanfang, sit down first and have a sip of tea. I know you feel uncomfortable..."
"Don't talk nonsense!" Zhou Kairong looked at Zhong Shendao, "Commander Zhong, I just want to ask you, do you have anything to say today?"
Zhong Shen sighed and said, "If you want to talk about today, it will be difficult."
"Well, if you don't give me an explanation, I'll ask Lang Lang Qiankun for an explanation. I don't believe there is no justice in this world!"
Zhou Kairong turned around and left, but Zhong Shen stepped forward to stop him; "Yuanfang, wait a moment and listen to what I have to say..."
"Stop talking and stay!"
A strong gust of wind came, causing the bell ginseng's beard and hair to fly.
The sixth level of Confucian skills and awe-inspiring aura.
No wonder Zhou Kairong has risen rapidly over the years. It turned out that this person had a high level of cultivation, so he was appreciated by the emperor.
This is really a serious oversight. As the commander of the Imperial City Department, Zhong Shen should know every minister well.
But now it seems that he doesn't know much about Zhou Kairong. He knew that Zhou Kairong had a cultivation level, but he didn't expect that his cultivation level had reached the sixth level, or even higher.
Zhou Kairong walked straight out of the Imperial City Sizhengtang. Zhong Shen stroked his beard and sneered: "Don't give up!"
…
Returning to the gate of Zhang Deng Yamen, Zhou Kairong ordered his subordinates, disciples and servants: "Cry around my nephew's body, and tell the world about the crimes of Zhang Deng Yamen!"
Everyone was ordered to surround Zhou Haijun's body and burst into tears.
"Young master, you died unjustly! You had a great life, but it was ruined at the hands of these beasts!"
"The Deng Yamen did evil things and took human life lightly. Come and take a look at the good son of Daxuan. Our young master is kind, honest, kind and talented, but he was harmed by the beasts in charge of the Deng Yamen!"
"On the borders of the capital, at the feet of the emperor, such atrocities have occurred. Where is the law of the king! Where is the law of heaven!"
More and more people were watching the excitement, and in a blink of an eye, they were surrounding several floors.
It stands to reason that this is not a clever method, it is not much different from scolding a shrew, but it is just more gentle.
But if combined with the special skills of Confucianism, the situation is completely different.
Zhou Kairong stood in the center of the crowd and activated the ninth-grade Confucian technique, Xunli.
The essence of this skill is to force the other party to follow etiquette and not to exceed the rules.
It doesn't sound like anything special, but it's surprisingly powerful when used.
Zhou Kairong is an official, his subordinates are also officials, his disciples will also be officials in the future, and even his servants are servants of the official family, and their status seems to be higher than that of civilians.
The order of superiority and inferiority is the basis of etiquette.
When a noble person speaks to a humble person, the humble person should listen carefully, listen carefully, and listen with sincerity.
After winning the Confucian Ninth Level Skill, everything the other party says is the truth.
But this is a one-on-one single-point skill, and Zhou Kairong cannot use the skill once on every onlooker.
But he still has a sixth-level skill, awe-inspiring aura.
The terrifying thing about Haoran's Qi is that it can turn Confucian single-point skills into range skills. Wherever Haoran's Qi goes, all onlookers must follow etiquette and take the words of Zhou Kairong and others as truth.
The skill took effect quickly, and some people began to agree.
An old man selling oil shouted: "What a good young man, to be killed like this, the man holding the lantern is not a human being!"
Another middle-aged woman selling rice also shouted: "The lantern man has never done any good things, they are just a bunch of beasts!"
As long as one person takes the lead, the emotions of the crowd will be ignited, and in an instant, shouts and curses can be heard one after another at the yamen gate.
If the scolding continues like this, the matter will become a big deal. Not only will the reputation of the Lantern Yamen be ruined, but it will also arouse public anger and may even alarm the emperor.
Zhou Kairong looked around at the crowd, constantly releasing his awe-inspiring aura.
I just want to make the matter bigger, I just want the emperor to listen to it, and let your majesty personally give me justice!
The aura of awe-inspiring people became more and more fierce, and the crowd onlookers became excited. Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew away the aura of awe-inspiring people.
Zhou Kairong was startled, scanning the onlookers, and saw a woman looking at him with a contemptuous smile.
Jiang Feili, the Young Master of Qingyi Pavilion, is a cultivator of fifth-level killing and military arts.
She used the fifth-grade murderous aura to forcefully blow away the aura of awe-inspiring people.
Under the murderous aura, the mood of the onlookers stabilized, and the yelling and cursing gradually disappeared.
Why scold? They can't find a reason.
You're obviously here to see the fun, why do you want to join in the fun?
Is the head office easy to mess with? Can you just join in the fun?
Wasn't it just that a rich man died? What does this have to do with them?
What's more, they don't even know who the dead person is.
A young woman shouted in the crowd: "Who is the dead person!"
Another young woman said: "It's Zhou Haiqu from the Zhou family, a beast who does all kinds of evil!"
"I know Zhou Haijun, aren't they the two tigers of the Zhou family?"
"These two beasts have done countless bad things. They burned a beggar to death in Beiyuan a few days ago and beat another to death!"
"They also smashed up my shop. My mother, who is 70 years old, was beaten half to death by them!"
"They bullied my sister, a fifteen-year-old girl, and she was almost forced to jump into the river!"
A group of women, you and I, detail the evil deeds of the two tigers of the Zhou family, some of which are true and some of which are made up.
These women all came from Qingyi Pavilion, and the loudest among them was Su Xiujuan, Xu Zhiqiong's classmate at Wuche Academy.
All the newcomers from Qingyi Pavilion are here, except senior sister Yu Chilan and junior sister Han Di.
Junior sister Han Di thinks that cursing in the street is beneath her status.
Yuchilan really wanted to come, but Jiang Feili thought she was stupid.
This was Zhong Shen's order to teach Zhou Kairong a lesson.
The wind direction changed, and the mood of the people also changed when they learned that Zhou Haiqu, one of the two tigers of the Zhou family, had died.
A salesman scolded: "Who do I think is dead? What the hell are you talking about being gentle, honest, kind and talented? Damn! Just these two beasts smashed my stall yesterday and broke two of my teeth!"
A servant held a stick, pointed at the salesman and said: "Where are you from? Don't spit blood!"
This servant is tall and strong. Under normal circumstances, this sentence can scare the salesman.
But today's salesman couldn't be scared. He took a step forward, grinned at the servant and said, "Am I lying? Open your eyes and see if these two teeth are broken."
The servant held a stick and shouted: "Why do you want to die?"
The salesman showed no fear: "You beat me! You are a dog slave raised by a dog official, I will let you beat me today!"
Why is this guy so tough?
Could it be that he has also fallen under the influence of Haoran? Is there a sixth-grade Confucian in Qingyi Pavilion?
There are no sixth-grade Confucians in Qingyi Pavilion, and no one knows how to use Haoran Qi. This is caused by Jiang Feili's murderous aura.
Jiang Feili is not very talented, but the most important factor in killing is talent. She can cultivate to the fifth level only with the help of elixirs.
She knew that she could not continue to advance in the way of killing, so while practicing the way of killing, she also practiced the art of war. She added the skill of the art of war - Lijun - to her murderous aura.
Energizing skills can boost the morale of soldiers on the battlefield, and can also improve the courage of onlookers.
Not just the salesman, everyone's anger was ignited with the addition of courage.
An old man gritted his teeth and said: "Good death, good death! My son was hit by the carriage of these beasts while he was walking on the road. He was lying at home and couldn't get out of bed for half a month!"
"My shop was also smashed by them. Poor girl, she's only seven years old, and they can beat her up!"
The yelling started again.
He was scolded for having a grudge against the two tigers of the Zhou family.
There is no hatred, even those who have heard of their reputation will criticize them.
Even people who have never heard of their reputation are scolding them!
When the morale is so high, it is so enjoyable to curse!
Just scolding is not enough, the intensity of the catharsis is not enough, and there are many stupid people in the crowd. Apart from swear words, they can't say anything new.
Jiang Feili was already prepared for this.
Su Xiujuan first brought out a basket of rotten persimmons.
Another girl brought out a basket of rotten oranges.
I don’t know some unscrupulous person who brought a swill tank!
The salesman who was beaten before took the jar to the toilet to buy Huanglong soup...
Zhou Haifan's mother, Mrs. Zhang, looked at Zhou Kairong with a persimmon look on her face and said, "Master, what should I do?"
When Su Xiujuan saw this, she shouted: "Who is your master? Aren't you his sister-in-law?"
There was a mixture of yelling and laughter, and Zhou Kairong stood there, covered in swill, motionless.
It's not that he can hold his own, it's that he really doesn't dare to move.
Not only did he dare not move, but his subordinates and disciples, as well as anyone with any level of cultivation, did not dare to move.
He felt like he was stepping on a piece of mud, and he would sink in if he moved even a little bit.
He will really fall into it, because there is a trap under his feet. The Mohist's high-quality trap, although invisible, can kill him at any time.
The promotion was so fast that Zhou Kairong felt a little overwhelmed.
He forgot that there are some places where he is not allowed to run wild, such as the Imperial City Division.
