Chapter 22 The Zhou family outsmarts the old man

After leaving Longtan, there is still this tiger's den at home. I have to deal with it well.

In front of the General's Mansion. When I thought about the fact that no one was there to greet me, my father was extremely angry and ordered his servants not to greet me. Fortunately, you still left a door open for me, right?

Explain that there is still discussion on this matter.

"Young... Young Master, I want you to go to the ancestral hall and wait for him."

Qingshan almost cried because he couldn't bear the young master's punishment, but he couldn't disobey the master's order. His young master had been killed and injured many times in the past few months.

"Qingshan, have you presented the things I brought back to my parents?"

"I gave the letter to the master. After reading it, he asked me to see the young master and you go directly to the ancestral hall."

"You haven't had time to send that thing yet?"

"No, young master, what time has it been? Are you still in the mood to care about what you are doing!"

With a body like this, the young master had a pale face on the way here. Now that he has gone to the palace, his face is actually white with a hint of green. If he goes to the ancestral hall again, will he still be able to come back alive?

"Qingshan, believe me, in half an hour, you will send those things to mother."

"Remember, half an hour."

I made plans before I came back, and I just hope that those plans can be put to use now.

"Okay, Master, don't talk back to me."

Don't talk back and suffer less physical pain. Your body really can't take it.

"Don't worry, I have my own plans. Don't forget what I said."

I looked in the direction of the ancestral hall, gritted my teeth, and gave up.

The majestic figure with his back to the door was Zhou Xiaochuan's father. Of course, there was also the cane in his hand, as thick as a child's arm, which made me feel painful.

Since I was a child, my parents have never beaten me seriously. Now, after coming here, I am either injured or beaten all day long. I live in fear. How can this be called a state of mind?

"Father."

"Come here and kneel down."

Okay, okay, I knew I had to kneel down. Young Master, I straighten my back and kneel straight and upright, so as not to annoy the old man in this kneeling position, and it will be bad if I touch the stick again.

"Did you write this letter?"

The letter was naturally written by me, my son, and your son's handwriting would not be so crooked and inappropriate. I wanted to take the letter, but the old man had a bad temper and threw it right away.

Come on, it’s not enough for me to provide for you, there’s a whole room of ancestors!

"What does it mean that if His Majesty blames you, you will bear the blame? What does it mean that if you are beheaded, I will go to the king to sever ties with you? You, you are promising, I have not taken care of you for many years, are you lawless?"

"I..." How dare I, my old man.

"What am I! Have you forgotten where your home is? Ah! You, a member of the General's Palace, cut yourself and then ran away without a trace, right! Do you know that your mother has not heard from you since? , can’t sleep all day and all night?”

"I thought that during those two months when you knelt in the ancestral hall, you understood some things and knew that the overall situation was the most important thing. As for you, you made everyone fearful! How old you are, why can't you be more steady! Ah! ?”

"you...."

"What are you doing? I, Zhou Qiao'an, am a reckless man, but I have also taught you not to interrupt when your parents warned you! Do you know how many people there are in the General's Mansion? Hmm? Up and down, there are two hundred and eighty-one people in total, you If you act recklessly, these people will be buried with you. Have you ever thought about this? You will kill your parents, destroy your brothers and sisters, and those old and young who look up to the general's mansion. How will I treat these two hundred people in the future if you are so unruly? Eighty-one mouthfuls are entrusted to you!"

During these months of being on tenterhooks, he made such a big mistake. When they met, he reprimanded him for a few words but actually talked back. How could he be so rebellious without repentance! Feeling angry, he swung out the cane in his hand.

Seeing that the traitor didn't cry out in pain, but his body trembled, reflecting on his thin clothes, he couldn't bear it for some reason, so he put down the cane.

But my dear, it hurts so much that my soul almost left my body. I don't even have the strength to shout, this is your own son's body, how could you do it, old man?

"Don't you have something to say? I'll give you a chance now!"

Old man, you almost beat me to death with a stick, and in exchange for the right to speak, my life is really miserable.

"Father, listen to my explanation, hiss..." You can't turn sideways to reply, otherwise the old man won't be able to see my sincere eyes. The lethality of what I say next will be greatly reduced, but even moving it will cause heart-wrenching pain. .

Zhou Qiao'an felt a little relieved as he looked at his injured son who still looked at him.

"The county guard was arrested. He once called me to have a private conversation in the dungeon. He Yu once served in his father's camp, and in the case of Weiyuan County, the king said that only gangsters who were originally sentenced to death should show their kindness. This person is the county guard's brother. , the county guard was guilty of covering up, but he was escorted back to the capital for questioning. "

The crime did not lead to death, but the reason for his death was that he was still nostalgic for his motherland and was secretly unfaithful.

"The king naturally taboos private associations, and he has been related to his father. Even if there is only the slightest, if someone is taking advantage of it, the general's palace will be in trouble."

Zhou Qiao'an had a vague impression of the county guard, and he also knew that if the prince in the palace knew about his involvement, although it would not lead to immediate overthrow, it would certainly lay the seeds of disaster.

"My son once requested to be transferred to Weiyuan County as the county magistrate. If the matter is done well, the position of county magistrate will definitely be in my son's pocket, and it will also be a hot potato."

The county magistrate of Wei Yuan is dispensable, but the county magistrate is in charge of the local military and horse power, and the general's palace has been jealous to this point. If another young master of the general's palace is placed in the border area, the people in the palace will have to pay more attention to the impeachment of the general's palace. How many.

These old men should also understand. Although no one in the imperial court said anything about the imperial decree that made Zhou Xiaochuan the county governor that day, they all knew it.

"The governor's position was only to test the general's attitude. In desperation, my son acted like a madman and cut himself to escape from the imperial edict."

The injury on his back was very painful, and he unconsciously changed from looking directly at him to looking at him with lowered eyebrows. With his thin body, it was still quite lethal to the old man.

"My son knows the consequences of disobeying the Holy Will, but he has no children. Now that he is back, the Lord above the palace is thinking that there will be more misfortune, so he wrote this in a moment of confusion."

"Father, my son knows...it's wrong."

Before I finished speaking, I fainted. Fortunately, I made it clear what I wanted to express, and now this fainting is not a bad thing.

"Chuan'er, Chuan'er, don't scare mother! Chuan'er..."

Well, Qingshan did a good job, and with Mother Zhou Xiaochuan’s voice, this matter can be considered a success.

small theater:

System: You lied to other people’s parents, you are a scoundrel, doesn’t your conscience hurt?

Young Master: No, what is conscience? Is it edible?

Zhou Xiaochuan: He is really a scoundrel. . . . . .
