As the most powerful family in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the size of the Zhou Mansion is even greater than that of the Xiao Family Mansion in the Divine Capital.
The Zhou family's mansion is more than a hundred feet long from north to south, and more than fifty feet wide from east to west. The mansion has more than ten people in it, covering an extremely large area. The Zhou family is prosperous, with four brothers in the family all holding important positions in the court, and the gods are all praised.
It is not an exaggeration to say that one Zhou family can support half of the Zhou Dynasty.
At this time, in a courtyard of the Zhou Mansion, upon hearing the news of Zhou Chu's death, a middle-aged woman fainted from crying several times and then woke up again.
"Chun'er, my poor Chu'er..."
Her mournful cries penetrated the courtyard wall, and the maids and servants passing by all hurried past with their heads lowered.
Zhou Chu's two sisters, who had already married out of the Zhou family, hurried back after hearing the news and stayed with the woman to comfort her.
The woman cried all her tears and grabbed Zhou Ting's hand. Her eyes were full of killing intent and she gritted her teeth and said: "Master, the person who killed Chu'er must cut him into pieces and then capture his soul."
Come and be burned by the dark fire day and night!"
Zhou Ting said solemnly: "Don't worry, I will make sure that he cannot live or die, to comfort Chu'er's spirit in heaven!"
A young woman next to the woman raised her head, looked at Zhou Ting, and said: "Dad, when I came here, my husband said that this matter is not easy to handle and it can easily arouse the people to mutiny. Why don't you go to the palace?"
, Go and beg my sister... Go and beg Your Majesty to bring justice to my brother."
The other young woman next to her looked unbearable and opened her mouth several times, but finally sighed and said nothing.
Zhou Tingdao: "Ever since we forced her to marry the former prince, Your Majesty has been very jealous of the Zhou family. In the past three years, she has deliberately alienated the Zhou family. I went to the palace to beg her this time, I'm afraid..."
The young woman who spoke first said: "No matter what, Chu'er is also her relative. No matter how cold-blooded she is, she won't turn a blind eye to Chu'er's death, right?"
The woman also gritted her teeth and said, "If he doesn't see you, beg your elder brother to see you. Even though she is Your Majesty, can't she even see her biological father?"
Zhou Ting lowered his head and said: "Big brother wants me to take care of the overall situation. It is impossible for him to interfere in this matter."
The woman said angrily: "The overall situation, the overall situation, Chu'er's life is gone, why does he still want to take care of the overall situation? This is also related to the face and dignity of the Zhou family..."
"Shut up." Zhou Ting scolded her and said, "Our Zhou family has been waiting for hundreds of years for this day. The burden on my eldest brother is beyond our imagination..."
He concealed the sadness in his eyes, straightened his collar, and said, "I'll go to the palace first."
Royal Palace.
Zhou Ting stood in front of a palace, bowed and said: "Zhou has something important to see His Majesty, please let Miss Shangguan inform you on your behalf."
The young female official said: "I'm sorry, your majesty had some insights in practice today and went into seclusion early in the morning. If you have anything to do with Mr. Zhou, we can wait until tomorrow morning to talk about it."
Zhou Ting was silent for a while and said: "In this case, I will go back first."
The young female officer turned around and walked through the palace to the garden behind the palace.
Master Mei stood behind a figure and said: "Your Majesty, today in front of the Shendu Yamen..."
The Queen said: "I know everything."
Her voice was majestic and seemed devoid of any emotion.
Lord Mei hesitated for a moment and then said: "Your Majesty, Zhou Chu's actions have aroused public resentment. Although he died because of Li Mu, his death cannot be blamed on Li Mu. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Your Majesty to get together."
The gods who have risen up have won the hearts of the people and are about to disperse..."
The Queen looked forward and said, "You seem to be very protective of Li Mu."
Master Mei said: "He was brought by me from Beijun. After he came to the capital of God, everything he did was for the people and for your majesty. I just feel that people like him should not suffer like this."
kind of injustice."
The Queen asked: "Ali, what do you think?"
The young female officer thought for a while and said: "Although he sometimes speaks unabashedly, he is a good person and a good official. What all gods lack is this kind of person. Zhou Chu died from the purple sky thunder, and he was just a polygrapher."
Shen Xiaoxiu, maybe someone else is framing him, fishing in troubled waters..."
The Queen waved her sleeves, and a clear picture appeared in the void.
In the picture, Zhou Chu's attitude is arrogant, threatening the family of the deceased, arousing the indignation of the people.
The young catcher pointed his finger to the sky and shouted loudly: "God, thief, if you had eyes, you shouldn't let good people be wronged and let such villains harm the world!"
As soon as he finished speaking, four purple-sky thunders descended from the sky. Zhou Chu resisted three times, but was still wiped out by the last thunder.
It was the first time for the young female officer and Lord Mei to see this scene, with shock on their faces, and they could not recover for a long time.
After a long time, the young female officer asked: "Your Majesty, can he really communicate with the way of heaven?"
The Queen did not answer, but just said: "You go down first. This matter will be discussed in court tomorrow."
After the two men retreated, the Queen stood alone in the garden, her temperament gradually changing.
The aura of a superior person who looked down on the world and looked down upon the world gradually disappeared from her body, and the person standing here seemed to be just an ordinary woman.
Gradually, even her face underwent some changes. The originally beautiful and charming face gradually became ordinary, and the beautiful crown on her body also transformed into an ordinary piece of clothing.
Her figure disappeared on the spot, and at the same time, a woman in green appeared on the streets of Shendu.
The people passing by on the street did not notice that there was a sudden addition of one person in the crowd around them.
The woman in Tsing Yi walked to a noodle stall. When the noodle stall owner saw her, he smiled and said, "Girl, you haven't been here for a long time."
The woman sat on the noodle stall and said, "A bowl of noodles."
The boss simply wiped his hands and said: "Okay, it's still the same old rule, put less chopped green onion and no coriander..."
It was dinner time at this moment, and there were many diners at the noodle stall. These people were still talking and talking while eating.
"The scene where lightning struck Zhou Chu today was so satisfying. Did you all see it?"
"No, it was already over when I rushed over. Why, were you there at the time?"
"I was lucky enough to be there. That week, I was struck by purple lightning, and not even the scum was left..."
"Quickly, tell us, I'm asking for this bowl of noodles..."
…
I heard that someone was inviting me to today's meal, so the person added another plate of beef and started telling the story to everyone.
From how lawless he was around, he came out of the Shendu Yamen and threatened the families of the deceased, to Li Captou, who was so angry that he pointed at the sky angrily. The heaven and earth felt his heart, and rained down several thunderbolts to eliminate this harm for the Shendu, and he was taken away by the Ministry of Punishment
After that, in the courtroom, he cursed Zhou Chu's father, which was really satisfying...
During the narration process, he added some details and added some emotional exaggeration. The faces of everyone listening were flushed, as if they had been at the scene and witnessed it with their own eyes.
After finishing speaking, he did not forget to sigh, "Captain Li is really a good captor. He truly cares about the people and is on our side."
Another diner sighed: "This time he has formed a deadly feud with the Zhou family. I don't know how the Zhou family will take revenge. If there is no Captor Li, will the City of Gods return to the way it was before..."
"No, we have already written the Book of Ten Thousand People. Your Majesty will definitely give justice to Capt. Li..."
…
After the woman in Tsing Yi finished eating her noodles, the audience discussed it for a while before paying and leaving.
Li Mansion.
When Li Mu and Xiaobai went home, they bought some vegetables. After they got home, they were busy in the kitchen.
Compared with eating out, he enjoys the feeling of cooking together.
The person who cooked with him before was Liu Hanyan. After coming to Shendu, the people around him became Xiaobai.
Under Li Mu's training, Xiaobai's cooking skills have improved and he can serve as Li Mu's qualified assistant.
After dinner, Li Mu told Xiaobai that he was going to the palace tomorrow.
When the time comes, he will send her to Duya first.
Xiaobai asked worriedly: "Will Her Majesty the Queen blame her benefactor?"
Li Mu shook his head and said, "I don't know."
After all, most of what he knew about the Queen was hearsay, and Li Mu had no idea what kind of person she really was.
However, he was confident about this case.
With the Pure Heart Technique, the Soul Capturing Technique was of no use to him. As long as he didn't admit it, no one could directly blame Zhou Chu's death on him.
As for soul searching, this technique is extremely harmful to people and is irreversible. Unless it is an extremely important matter related to the country and the country, it is impossible for the court to perform it on officials.
With the support of the people, the court must be cautious no matter what it does to him.
Xiaobai said firmly: "I heard that Her Majesty the Queen is as beautiful as a fairy and has a kind heart. She will definitely not wrong her benefactor."
Li Mu nodded and said, "I believe your Majesty."
Not to mention her appearance, Li Mu was actually confident in other aspects of the Queen.
He came to the Capital of Gods because of the Queen, and the reason why he was able to do whatever he wanted without fear during this period was also because the Queen was backing him up.
Women always pay great attention to the appearance of other women. Xiaobai blinked and said: "She looks like a fairy, how beautiful she is..."
Li Mu rubbed her head and said: "The reason why she is so beautiful is because she is Your Majesty. No matter how ugly your Majesty is, no one dares to call her ugly. If you want to know what is so beautiful, you can reply
Take a look in the mirror..."
Xiaobai was stunned for a while before she realized that Li Mu was praising her. Her face turned red and she said awkwardly: "I went to wash the dishes..."
The girl's face is still a bit thin. If it were Liu Hanyan, she might have fallen into Li Mu's arms, fighting each other.
Li Mu returned to the room and not long after sitting down cross-legged, sleepiness gradually came over him.
While sleeping, a burst of mist suddenly surged in front of his eyes, and a woman's figure appeared.
Seeing the familiar woman, Li Mu was stunned for a moment, with a look of fear on his face, and said in shock: "No, here we go again..."
