Chapter 46 Zhou Zhao’s purpose
"You are a good official. Xie Ling, you are not wrong, I was wrong."
Xie Laosi burst into tears listening to this strange yet familiar name.
He lived up to his father's expectations, lived an upright life, and served as an official in a down-to-earth manner.
He has been waiting for this day for so long that his tombstone has been erected in the Xie family's ancestral grave, Liangping County has a new parent official, and the white-faced scholar Xie Ling has turned into the scarred Fourth Xie...< br>
It has been so long that the future has been exhausted and it is difficult to return to the homeland.
Xie Ling looked at Cheng Yuyuan who was covered in blood. His lips trembled slightly and he didn't say a word for a long time.
He is not a saint. Although he does not hate, he cannot easily say the words of forgiveness.
He turned around, no longer looking at Yuyuan, but walked to the place where the sun shined, put away the red umbrella, and walked to Liu Huang's side silently.
Liu Huang trembled all over and moved to the left.
Xie Ling didn't say anything, and followed him to move to the left, keeping a distance that was neither too far nor too close, just enough to steal the lead.
Zhou Zhao noticed the movement behind her, and the corner of her mouth twitched. She looked at Cheng Yuyuan who was kneeling on the ground, "Zhai Leader Cheng, I have solved your problem; now it's your turn to help me solve it."
Cheng Yuyuan raised her head when she heard this. There was blood at the corner of her mouth.
She glanced at Xie Ling, her eyes full of apology, but until now, she didn't have the face to beg for forgiveness.
She stabilized her mind, took Cheng Ming's hand and stood up staggeringly, "If Miss Zhou wants anything, as long as I have it, just take it! Even if it's my life. I have only one request, after I die , buried me and my son outside Tianying City, and dragged Li Zhan out to feed the dogs.”
"However, if you want to take my life, you don't have to go to all the trouble to help me untie my knot."
Cheng Yuyuan thought for a moment, "You want me to abdicate in favor of someone more worthy, and give you the position of leader of the village? I can do it now."
She couldn't think of anything else that could impress Zhou Zhao.
Zhou Zhao looked at the dazzling red color at the corners of Cheng Yuyuan's mouth, glanced at the blood stain where she was kneeling before, and sighed in his heart.
"No, you are still the leader of Tiandou Village. I want to be the leader of Xuanwu Hall."
A trace of astonishment flashed in Cheng Yuyuan's eyes, and she nodded without hesitation, "Okay! I am willing to listen to Miss Zhou's arrangements."
Zhou Zhao was not surprised. Cheng Yuyuan must have had some courage if she was able to avoid killing people in the past. Last night, she just fell into Sun Youshan's trick and lost her composure.
"The old leader of Xuanwu Hall abdicates, how to choose a new leader?"
Zhou Zhao never hesitated when doing things and asked questions directly.
Although she had asked Han Dashan before, Han Dashan did not give details, so he did not know as much as Cheng Yuyuan.
"The old hall master's name is Ye Xuan. When I came to Tianying City, he was already the hall master, and he is over sixty years old this year. I heard that he was a military master in the past and lost an arm on the battlefield. But he was very good at martial arts. , like the girl’s step-brother, he can carry a cauldron with one arm.”
"There are three villages under Xuanwu Hall. The owner of Tiannv Village is named Zhang Miaoshou. He used to be a charlatan and had one of his index fingers cut off."
"Tiannu Village mainly performs Immortal Dance and uses beautiful girls to defraud people out of money. Zhang Miaoshou has two cronies. One is named Zhang Ling'er. She is a little girl who uses bells as weapons. She is very beautiful. I heard that the master of Yaoguang Hall in Neiqi Hall once Wanted to take her away ”
The master of Yaoguang Hall? Isn’t that a thousand faces?
Zhou Zhao never expected that he would hear Qian Mian's scandal in a place like this.
"But the rumors are not credible. The master of Yaoguang Hall is the youngest of the seven masters of Inner Seven Halls. He has an arrogant personality and is very murderous. He has never been close to women. It is not like he has such thoughts. People.”
"And as far as I know, Master Yaoguang has a sweetheart."
Zhou Zhao's breathing was erratic. She calmed down and continued to ask, "Where is the other one?"
Cheng Yuyuan knew that she had gone too far, so she quickly took back her words, "The other one's name is Yingge, who used to be a courtesan. Yingge is good at using medicine and is very difficult to deal with. The beautiful lady the old hall master is serving now, He was born in Tiannv Village.”
Zhou Zhao knew instantly that she was a liar who could manipulate people's hearts and blow pillows.
"Tianxu Village is where flower lovers gather. As a mother, I hate these things the most, so we have always been incompatible with each other." Cheng Yuyuan mentioned Tianxu Village, her eyes full of disgust.
Zhou Zhao thought to himself, no wonder Tianxu and Tiandou were at odds with each other in the Zhiyang shop, and they would fight if they disagreed.
"The owner of Tianxu Village is called Huang Sanbai, but no one knows what his real name is. He has two fierce generals under his command. One is called Zijin Hammer, a strong man who uses a sledgehammer. He comes from the same sect as Zhu Wen and Zhu Wushu;"
"The other one is called Tian Jing. He is a dandy. He looks very nice and pleasant, has a clever tongue and is good at using hidden weapons."
Cheng Yuyuan didn't sell it, she knew what Zhou Zhao wanted to hear most.
She thought, slightly embarrassed, "You must have heard the rumors in the village that the Hall Master prefers me to take over. But this is not the case. It is just a rhetoric I put out to appease my brothers."
"The old hall master really looked at me differently, because he once had a daughter about the same age as me, but other than that, there is nothing more."
"Who can be the leader of the Xuanwu Hall? He has already told us that the leader of which village has brought back the most property in the past month will be the next leader."
Zhou Zhao's mind was spinning rapidly as he listened, "So Sun Youshan went out to rob the caravan and brought back the cloth; Zhu Wen was sent to Yuyang to find the treasure. Tiandou's main business was robbing families and homes."
Cheng Yuyuan nodded shamefully.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
In the past, she thought she was right and that she was in such a situation only because Xie Ling harmed her. She had no choice but to become a bandit; now looking back, she really did a lot of ridiculous things.
"According to the schedule, when can Zhu Wen come back?" Zhou Zhao asked.
Cheng Yuyuan turned to look at Cheng Ming who was standing aside. Cheng Ming thought for a while and said, "The day after tomorrow."
Zhou Zhao's eyes moved and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
"I have a plan to kill two birds with one stone. I just need you to send a letter to Tianxu's Purple Gold Hammer in the name of Zhu Wen..."
After Zhou Zhao finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of Liu Huang with a longing look in his peripheral vision, and twitched the corner of his mouth speechlessly.
Ah Huang is still thinking about Cheng Dong’s poisoned corpse!
"Cheng Dong can't die in an unclear way. If there is one, there are two. Where did Sun Youshan's poison come from? Does that person still have it in his hands? If we don't figure it out, we won't know who will die next."
Cheng Ming's expression suddenly became tense. He glanced at Cheng Yuyuan secretly, his eyes full of worry.
"We are divided into two groups. Cheng Ming, you are familiar with the people in the city. Go and find out where the poison came from. My brother is good at autopsies. Let him examine Cheng Dong's body to see if he can determine what kind of poison it is and whether he can prepare a solution in advance. The medicine comes.”
Hearing this, Cheng Ming nodded without hesitation.
He is Cheng Yuyuan's domestic slave. He will listen to whoever Cheng Yuyuan listens to.
Zhou Zhao nodded indifferently, and when he looked at Liu Huang, his eyebrows were blooming with smiles, and he couldn't help but shake his head in his heart.
After Zhou Zhao and his party took Cheng Dong's body out, only Cheng Yuyuan and Cheng Ming were left in the courtyard.
Cheng Yuyuan could no longer hide it. She swayed and a mouthful of scarlet blood spurted out from her mouth.
Cheng Ming's eyes turned red and he quickly supported her. He called Yuyuan in his heart, but he didn't dare to cum in his mouth, "Master!"
Cheng Yuyuan wiped the corners of her mouth with her sleeve.
"When I finish repaying my gratitude to Miss Zhou, you can take me, Chengnan and Chengdong back to our hometown. Tianying City is too dry and cold. I don't like it here very much."
"When the time comes, we will be buried on the hillside next to the Cheng family's ancestral grave, in the area full of milkvetch."
Cheng Ming let out a soft "hmm", as softly as a feather falling to the ground.
"People like me will probably go to the eighteenth level of hell. It's better not to disturb my parents and just stay with them."
Cheng Ming didn't say anything anymore, he would die there too.
Cheng Yuyuan went to the eighteenth level of hell, and he went to the eighteenth level of hell, just like before.
