In a house not far from the Huixian County Government Office, Zhou Xingxiu walked out of the house with a calm face and strode. Under the dim lights, it was obviously as gloomy as water.

"Zhou County Wei..."

"Zhou County Wei..."

Wherever Zhou Xingxiu passed, the officials standing guard or passing by greeted him respectfully. If it were the usual Zhou Xingxiu, he would nod and respond even if he didn't speak.

But today, Zhou Xingxiu was obviously unhappy and allowed the greetings of the yamen officials, but he just collapsed and lowered his head to walk outside.

"Wang Fusheng..." On the street, Zhou Xingxiu turned around and looked coldly at the house that was the temporary yamen in the dim light. He murmured in a low voice, and seemed to have a flash of hatred in his expression. Then he stepped onto the horse led by a yamen officer next to him, stepped up and drove quickly towards the street.

The fast horse rushed by in the dark night. As the county magistrate of Hui County, he naturally had a pass-through warrant on his body, so even the yamen runners or soldiers patrolling the streets would not stop him.

After a while, Zhou Xingxiu rode his horse to a tall house in the southwest of Hui County.

"Master, you are back!" Seeing Zhou Xingxiu coming back, a servant from the Zhou family rushed over, trying to help Zhou Xingxiu lead his horse with a flattering smile on his face.

Bang!~~

"Bastard, what happened to the young master, are you very happy?" Seeing the flattering smile on the servant's face, Zhou Xingxiu was already filled with anger, and directly raised the whip in his hand and sucked it hard towards the servant's face.

"Ah, I don't dare, please spare me, please spare me..." The servant was whipped by the whip, but he didn't care about wiping it, and hurriedly lay on the ground and kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Bad, get out of here!" Zhou Xingxiu whipped the servant who was kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy a few times. He beat the servant's back to make the blood flow and soaked his robes. Then he felt that the anger in his heart subsided a lot. He threw the horse whip in his hand to the ground, looked at the servant who was lying on the ground coldly, and then turned around and walked towards the mansion.

The servants outside screamed, and the servants in Zhou's mansion naturally heard it and saw it. Everyone knew that Zhou Xingxiu must be in a bad mood. They all lowered their eyebrows and didn't even dare to say a sound of excitement.

In the Zhou Mansion, lights were naturally lit at this time, especially in the hall, which seemed to be during the day.

However, at this time, there were several middle-aged men with majestic faces and a middle-aged beautiful woman sitting in the hall. But what was strange was that these people were all as deep as water, and they didn't even say a word. From time to time, they looked out of the hall with anxious and anxious expressions.

Until he saw Zhou Xingxiu's figure walking in from outside the door, the people's faces moved, stood up slightly from their seats, bowed, "Brother Yuanji... County Magistrate Zhou..."

Yuanji is the character Zhou Xingxiu.

"Master, you are back, how is Hao'er going?" The middle-aged beautiful woman who was originally sitting in the first seat also walked up to her and said with a stoic look on her face.

Zhou Xingxiu looked at the middle-aged beautiful woman, shook her head slightly with a calm face, and then bowed to the several people who greeted her, "Everyone, Zhou has disappointed everyone. Unexpectedly, Wang Fusheng did not care about his colleagues at all. No matter what Zhou said, he did not let go. He said that these people were personally detained by the Prince of Runan, and he did not dare to take the initiative without authorization."

"What should I do?" A middle-aged man in a rich and light blue robe said with a look of ignorance.

"Brother Renji, why don't we try to meet the Prince of Runan? It is said that Prince of Runan is just a six-year-old child. Maybe I will show my sincerity and send it to the children's favorite things. This matter will be solved." Another middle-aged man with a medium figure and a light green robe pondered for a moment, and then he also spoke.

Hearing the words of the middle-aged man in green, the others looked excited and looked at Zhou Xingxiu and Zhou County Magistrate with hope.

However, after hearing this, Zhou Xingxiu just smiled coldly, "You have thought too simply about this prince. Do you think you can think of it, can't Zhou think of it?"

"Don't think of this Prince Runan as a six-year-old child. Zhou has seen His Highness the Prince several times in the past few days. In Zhou's opinion, although His Highness looks small, he is not a good person. It is said that in Wannian County a few days ago, the first thing that the Prince did when he went to Wannian County was to cut off the head of the county magistrate of Wannian County. Otherwise, with the character of Wang Fusheng's old fox, how could he be so easily controlled?"

"And you have heard about Luo Baifu, have you? Luo Baifu just gave two sluts to Wang Fusheng. If Wang Fusheng wanted to please the prince, he sent these two sluts over. As a result, Wang Fusheng, a dignified county ruling, was actually punished to kneel in front of the lobby for three hours, and Luo Baifu was even more unfair, and he could only donate 50,000 stones of food and grass before he could get out."

"Think about it, why did Luo Baifu blame? He had to take most of his family business to be safeguarded. How much do you think we should take out to make these princes show mercy?"

After Zhou Xingxiu's words, all the people in the hall looked at each other. For a moment, I wonder what to do?

"What should we do, then County Magistrate Zhou thinks we should do? Do you let those unfilial sons be ignored in prison? County Magistrate Zhou, don't forget that among those people, there are the sons of County Magistrate Wang in Xinfeng, and the County Magistrate Wang is from the Wang family in Taiyuan. If something happened to the son of County Magistrate Wang this time, we may not be able to get any benefits." One of them had a little thin body and seemed to have a bit of a sick middle-aged man looking at Zhou Xing Xiudao.

Looking at the expressions on the faces of these people in the hall, Zhou Xingxiu felt a little conspiring in his heart, and then suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Actually, Zhou has a way to solve this problem, but it is a bit dangerous. I wonder if you dare to try it with Zhou!"

"Oh? What method does Zhou County Magistrate has? Please give me some advice!" Hearing Zhou Xingxiu's words, all of these people's eyes lit up and looked at Zhou Xingxiu.

Zhou Xingxiu smiled mysteriously and saw that there was no other person in the hall. Then he said, "Actually you already know that there will be a big battle in our Hui County. Since yesterday, people will be prohibited from passing through the city. Zhou still has some status in the yamen and heard some news. It is said that the person who came this time was General Yuchi Jingde, the general under the command of His Highness of Qin, and Lord Changsun Wuji."

"Your Highness of the King of Qin? Is it the imperial edict that appeared in the county before, His Royal Highness of the Crown Prince today?" Someone thought of the imperial edict that appeared in the county not long ago, and of course the manifesto issued with the reputation of the Prince of Runan.

"Yes, it is precisely because His Highness King Qin has been named the crown prince by the emperor, and I am the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty." Zhou Xingxiu nodded, and then said, "This time, the former crown prince Li Jiancheng and the King of Qi Li Yuanji wanted to conspire to rebel. Fortunately, His Highness Prince was wise and saw through the tricks of these two thieves and made things right. This prevented our Tang Dynasty from falling into the hands of thieves."

"And this Prince Runan was originally just the son of the rebel Li Jiancheng. After Li Jiancheng failed, he escaped from Chang'an and then gathered the original rebels to continue rebelling."

"This time, General Yuchi and Lord Changsun Wuji were ordered by His Royal Highness to raise 50,000 troops to fight against the rebels. Everyone is a person with status. I believe that the troops in our county are only 3,500 to 50,000 at this time, and 5,000 to 50,000. This is just an act of hitting stones with eggs. Do you want to wait until General Yuchi breaks through the city gate and raises butcher knives to each family? At that time, don't regret what happened today." Zhou Xingxiu said sneered.

"This... County Magistrate Zhou is not joking. We have not participated in the plot of rebellion. Even if we have broken through the county town, what do we have to do with us? We just need to guard the door. I wish that General Yuchi and Lord Changsun Wuji would not be able to kill innocent people by chance!" A head of the family said hesitantly.

"You are indeed not involved in the plot, but the court does not know about this matter, and His Highness the Crown Prince does not know. At that time, as long as the city gate is broken and the rebels are lying down, then what General Yuchi and Lord Changsun Wuji say is what they say? Soldiers, bandits, and bandits, you are not people who have not experienced wars. How could you be so naive and give your life to others in a thought?" Zhou Xingxiu looked at the people around him and said.

Hearing Zhou Xingxiu's words, these people looked gloomy and gloomy. One of the middle-aged men in purple robe clasped their fists and said, "Who doesn't know what Brother Renji said is..."

Zhou Xingxiu had a confident look on his face. At this moment, he seemed to feel that Kong Ming possessed him, and smiled indifferently, "This matter is simple. Everyone must have guards in their homes. There are a lot of these people. If they gather, there will be at least thousands of people. At that time, we can take advantage of General Yuchi and Changsun Wuji's attack on the city, and the defenders in the city are too busy to take care of themselves. We can lead our army into the county government and capture the rebel thief of the Runan County Prince. The so-called capture of the rebel thief first. As long as the Runan County Prince is in our hands, these rebel thieves will naturally be defeated without attacking."

"Besides, with the thief leader of the Runan County Prince, we are also meritorious officials to suppress the rebellion this time. At that time, the court will definitely receive a generous reward. I dare not say that I am a marquis and a general, but it is not impossible to be granted a title of a county government official!"

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you have the chance to win a wife and a son, you will only have one chance. It depends on whether you have the courage."
