Chapter 42: Death

Zhou Binglin walked through the corridor and came to the study room, and saw several people walking out carrying something, covered with white cloth, and blood fell down drop by drop.

"What's going on?"

He frowned and stopped a manager and asked.

The manager was shocked and saw that it was Zhou Binglin, and then he reported: "It's the maid in the yard of the fourth wife! The master was upset about the winter relief. The third wife grabbed the woman again and said that she was not clean. Later, she found out that she was not lucky and beaten to death..."

Zhou Binglin also shivered, came to the study room, and gently buckled the door: "Dad!"

"Is it Binglin? Come in!"

Zhou Binglin took his steps lightly, walked in and saluted respectfully, and did not dare to take a breath.

"How is it done?"

Although he had just killed a servant, Zhou Tongan had a calm face, full of scholarly spirit, and looked like a great Confucian master.

"It has been agreed that the third uncle's family will pay 50 taels of silver to the fourth aunt's family, and add another stone of food every year!"

Zhou Binglin said softly.

"Everyone, I don't even care about my ancestors for the sake of land and money!"

Zhou Tongan snorted coldly: "Every relative can compete for red eyes. I really don't think it's a son!"

"There are many chores in the clan, and other wealthy families cannot escape. Now my Zhou family can maintain stability, thanks to my father who is in charge and planning!"

Zhou Binglin bowed, saying this sincerely, knowing that the more large a family, the more difficult it is to handle the water equally. Each room and each vein is like a wolf.

If it weren't for my father's good methods, it would be difficult to support him.

"Oh...it's good if both sides agree!"

Zhou Tongan asked the situation carefully, and Zhou Binglin answered one by one, and then he sighed relieved: "You are doing a good job, but you just need to be on fire..."

He mentioned a few more words before continuing: "Now in the cold winter, all houses should be careful of firewood, rice and flour, and there should be no shortage. You should always stare at the child's part, don't cut off the cooking, and the county magistrate takes up his new position. At this time, there will be cold and hunger, and everyone's face is not good-looking!"

"Of course, this has been confirmed early to provide money...but, in terms of accounting?"

Zhou Binglin hesitated a little.

"Wait a little longer. Mr. Song should have arrived in the past two days. It will be easier to deal with when their money is escorted..."

Zhou Tongan also sighed.

Others think that the Zhou family is rich, with wealth and wealth, and gold and silver, but they don’t know that this family, thousands of tribesmen, and the family has children and slaves, the expenses are really as good as mountains and seas, not to mention that there are two officials to support.

At this time, everyone was still counting on Zhou Tongren and Hu Zhubu to go further, so naturally they could not miss their superiors' filial piety.

Speaking of which, if this official in the Great Zhou Dynasty wants to be safe, he is very idle and has no merits and no faults, and he can save a considerable family business when he is old.

But if you want to continue climbing up, first of all, the boss cannot lose filial piety, and cannot exploit the subordinates too ruthlessly. From time to time, you have to invite people to win people's hearts. This will be a lot of money, and it depends entirely on the Zhou family to support it.

"As soon as I talk about this, I feel a little worried. Go and ask..."

Zhou Tongan just said, and a burst of rapid footsteps came: "Master, something is not good!"

When Zhou Binglin came in alone, he recognized that Lao Zhou, the housekeeper who was trusted by his father, was holding a letter in his hand.

Although he wanted to see it, Zhou Binglin didn't dare to move his head, for fear of being regarded as a proof of coveting the position of the head of the family, and felt even more sad.

"Sir!"

Bang!

Zhou Tongan took it, and when he saw it, he was furious. He slapped the table, and the cups fell to the ground and shattered, making a mess.

"Don't calm down my anger, sir!"

Zhou Binglin and Lao Zhou both knelt down, and at this time they could ask: "What's wrong?"

"Look... Look... This Wu family child is so bold!" Zhou Tongan shook the letter and tugged it on Zhou Binglin's face, causing pain.

At this time, I didn't care about it, so I quickly looked at it, and felt very nervous: "You dare to do this..."

He is a child of a noble family, and he was vaguely afraid of this method of turning over the table if he had a disagreement: "Can you explain the situation? Please help the government fight?"

"Damn it!"

Zhou Tongan shouted angrily and pointed at Lao Zhou again: "Tell him!"

Old Zhou smiled bitterly and said, "Young Master, this is not possible! The Wujiaxiang Inspection Office has already conducted a county government office, saying that it was an attack on the bandits at night and wiped out more than 50 people from the group of Jie Tianfeng. The county magistrate would ask for credit for it... As long as they bite the goods to death, they were seized in the bandit village, we had no evidence, so we could not imagine..."

"Wu Ming..."

Zhou Binglin was a little surprised. In my memory, this person was just a playboy. He didn't expect that he would only see a little bit of true color at this time. He was really decisive and fierce and ruthless.

"Okay! OK! OK!"

Zhou Tongan also sneered: "The tiger does not show its power. When my Zhou family is a sick cat... Old Zhou, go and give orders, let the black tiger and the rolling dragon move. All the warriors in my family are organized into the team and ordered the great deacon, the second deacon, and a few entourages to go all the way, open the arsenal, pick the good ones... Humph! In terms of elites, his Wu family is as powerful as my Zhou family? I want him to die without a burial place!"

Zhou Binglin was shocked. This black tiger and the rolling dragon were all famous bandits in Yunping County. Even he only realized that he was a home-raised dog now!

Now, it is obvious that his father has lost his official plan and is preparing to take Wu Ming directly by force!

At this time, Zhou Tongan pointed at Zhou Binglin again: "To ensure safety, you rely on literary talent in prosperous times and force in troubled times. This time, you will go with you! Be sure to bring back the child's head to me!"

"Abide by the order!"

No matter how unwilling he was, there was no room for Zhou Binglin to refuse, so he could only kneel down and say.

But immediately, another deacon came to report quickly, holding a bamboo tube in both hands: "The letter from Feixin in the Taoist Court is the highest level!"

"Bring it!"

Zhou Tongan took it, a ring in his hand shone brightly, and the bamboo tube automatically cracked, and a roll of ancient paper emerged.

"this……"

After reading a few lines, Zhou Tongan seemed to have his backbone removed and collapsed on the chair. After a long time, he sighed: "This operation will be temporarily cancelled!"

It seemed like an illusion, and Zhou Binglin suddenly felt that Zhou Tongan was hunching over and seemed to have grown a little older.

...

Scoop Mountain, within the mountain village.

Wu Ming, who was ready, knew what it means to be a man's calculation is worse than a god's calculation.

"Hmm? Sister's letter?"

Before the Zhou family's revenge was waiting for Wu Qing's letter, Wu Ming couldn't help but feel confused. After opening it and reading it, he was a little surprised.

"My sister wrote to me and said that she had already suppressed the Zhou family and made them suffer... Of course, I did it a little too much. In exchange, it was impossible for the Taoist mortal to include me again. She asked me not to be anxious and she would find a way..."

Wu Ming put the letter in his arms and put it in his arms, but he touched his nose, which was a little embarrassed.

This feeling of being held under the wings by my sister was a natural thing for the playboy before, but he felt a little unhappy about being favored by others.

"Actually, I can solve it!"

Unfortunately, I can't tell anyone about this.

'If we follow my plan, this time, luring the enemy deeper and using war to support the war is enough to defeat all the elite Zhou family! At that time, the Zhou family will be a tiger with teeth pulled out, let me rub it, and can also train a surprise soldier, elite soldier!'

The original idea was that when the Zhou family was taking revenge, in the deep mountains, with the food, medicine, and even talismans provided by the main temple, the Zhou family's dark forces were annihilated in one fell swoop!

In this way, if the Zhou family no longer has force to protect it, it will be a huge piece of fat. If it is done, the family will be destroyed and the people will be destroyed and will not recover.

This is the ultimate plan to eliminate the weeds and remove the firewood from the cauldron, so that they can no longer have the power of revenge.

Of course, Wu Ming also knew that he would inevitably be questioned if he had made supplies for no reason. However, this world is similar to mustard bags, and there are also Taoist items with space rings. They are just very rare and cannot be touched by the large households in the county at this level. At that time, you can use this reason to cover them up.

Even after completing this matter, he secretly tried to capture all the forces against Wu Qing in one place, and then he would repay his kindness and end the cause and effect of this body. In the future, he would be able to broaden the sky, attack and defend.

No matter how bad it is, you can still leave with ease. With the main temple, you can go to the world!

But now, the cause and effect have deepened.

"Ah... the beauty is very kind and cannot promise her. What should she do..."

Wu Mingyaoyao's head seemed to want to throw out some of his unjiankang's thoughts: "Come on, please inform Feng Han, let's go back!"

As for the letter that the inability to enter the Taoist temple, Wu Ming directly ignored it.

Just a county-level Taoist temple, Wu Ming, who already possesses many Taoist techniques, is naturally not caring about it.

Although it is a pity that the continuous magic tricks cannot be obtained from the Taoist temple, it is just a little more demand for merit. Wu Ming, who is determined to become the master of the main temple, has not taken it much in mind.

...

For the tenants of the Zhou and Wu families, these days have been calm.

Even the festive atmosphere of the New Year was rippling across the country. After Wu Ming came back, the atmosphere reached its peak.

"Young Master, we have received a total of 5,000 taels of silver, fifteen pieces of beautiful jade, fine iron, green salt, and even various gifts. Conservatively, there are 15,000 taels of silver!"

Zhao Song reported to Wu Ming with excitement.

"Well! I promised in advance that 20% would be used as a pension, which is 3,000 taels, each person would be 100 taels. If they were disabled and killed in battle, the family would be divided into five acres of land!"

Wu Ming said, and saw an extremely excited look on Zhao Song's face, and he knelt down and said, "The head of the family is wise, we are willing to die for the head of the family!"

This time the dispatch was not particularly dangerous, but the harvest was rich, so naturally there was nothing to say.

After all, at best, it was just a caravan, which was really not a big deal at this time, so the following were quite satisfied.

To be honest, this was also what Wu Ming had considered before.

Even if the Zhou family's elites were all out this time, the dark forces on both sides fought to the death, as long as there was no leader, it seemed that they would be just accidentally injured by bandits, or even at the level of an armed fight between the two villages.

If it can succeed in one fell swoop, it will remove the Zhou family's secret and potential forces. How long can it last with just two officials?
