Chapter 402 Breaking the game ([-])

After nightfall, the Ru'an Mansion was very quiet. Two young people, a man and a woman, walked along the street and soon reached a remote alley.

The moonlight was dim, and the whole alley was pitch black. As soon as the two of them stepped into the alley, they saw a figure with uneven shape coming out of the alley. Instead, he intentionally or unintentionally observes the expression of the man beside him.

Shen Qianqiu nodded slightly towards the person who came, and said:

"I met Mrs. Zhou."

"Don't call me that. After today, I have nothing to do with that man."

After the figure finished speaking coldly, revealing her true face, it was the woman whose real name was Xu Juanxiu, who was also Zhou Kang's first wife.

……

Shen Qianqiu was not displeased by the other party's cold attitude, and still said softly:
"Thank you girl in advance."

Xu Juan gave a lukewarm "hmm", then handed over a brochure and said:
"It contains the evidence of the Zhou family's father and son being greedy for ink over the years, as well as those ordinary people who disappeared without reason."

Shen Qianqiu took it with both hands, and was not in a hurry to open it. The woman opposite immediately took out a letter from her cuff and said:

"Give this letter to Zhou Kang for me."

After all, the woman turned her head to look at Li Mizhen, who was always vigilant, and then said to the other party who was also a woman:
"Your life is good."

After saying this inexplicable sentence, Xu Juanxiu directly put the letter in Li Mizhen's hands, turned her head and left, the latter was stunned for a while, until the other party disappeared into the alley, and then said in doubt:
"What does this foxy girl mean?"

Shen Qianqiu shook his head at the side, it's not that he didn't know the mystery, but he just remembered a sentence that the Eighth Prince often said - it's better to offend a villain than a woman.

……

There was the sound of orderly footsteps on Ru'an Mansion Street. Although Luo Baihu deliberately ordered the soldiers to march quietly, the team of hundreds of people could be quiet just because they were quiet. The soldiers in charge of patrolling quickly discovered the situation here.

"Stop, who?"

The city guards who followed Xun Huo and were used to big fish and big meat, naturally felt a little apprehensive when they saw such a group of people in the middle of the night, and they subconsciously pulled out their sabers from their waists. greeted:
"It turned out to be the brothers guarding the city. We are the garrison of Qiaomen Mansion. We have just received a military order to leave for the northern line overnight. Please report to the brothers and open the city gate for us."

As he said that, more than a hundred people had come to the front. Seeing that they were his own, several patrolling soldiers breathed a sigh of relief at first, but then they noticed something was wrong:
"In the middle of the night, the gates of the city have been closed long ago. Where did you get the military order?"

Without waiting for their reaction, the officers and soldiers of the Qiaomen Mansion rushed forward and pushed them down to the ground, and strangled the rope prepared in advance into their mouths.

"Brother, I'm sorry, Lao Luo will hold a banquet to apologize to you when the matter is over."

Luo Baihu made a confession, and then ordered his subordinates to throw the bound patrol officers and soldiers into a side alley. After leaving a few guards behind, he led the troops towards Zhou Mansion
……

Zhou Weiwei was sitting in the study at the moment when he suddenly heard a commotion outside. He frowned and got up and opened the door. Just as he was about to call for the housekeeper, he saw torches suddenly lit up in the courtyard. When he was in a daze, a The officer had already walked up to him with a knife in his hand, and said in a muffled voice:

"Master Zhou, offended."

Before Zhou could speak, Zhou Kang's voice was the first to sound from the direction of the backyard:
"You bastards, do you know who my father is? Breaking into the Zhou Mansion in the middle of the night, is it possible that you are looking for death?"

Not long after, the disheveled Mr. Zhou was pushed to the front yard.

"This military lord, why did you break into my mansion? Do you dare to ask if it's because the poor hospitality in the city?"

As Zhou has been in the officialdom for a long time, this scene is not enough to mess up his sense of proportion. Although he is not in the army, he also knows that some prostitutes have a temper that exceeds their abilities.

……

But this military officer dressed in a hundred households is not the kind of reckless man who opens his mouth to draw a knife and shuts up to kill. Instead, he said politely:

"Master Zhou, Mr. Zhou, please be safe and don't be impatient. Mr. Shen will be here in a while, and he will explain the situation to you two."

Zhou Zuowei's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words, and he had an ominous premonition, while Zhou Kang on the side didn't care about these, and directly cursed:
"What kind of thing is he, Shen Qianqiu? I haven't troubled him yet, but he dared to send troops to break into my Zhou mansion..."

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Qianqiu's voice came from the screen wall at the door:
"Mr. Zhou is cautious in his words and deeds. Mr. Shen has little talent and learning, but he is also an official appointed by the court. Mr. Zhou has no official position and no rank. It's fine if he doesn't kneel down when he sees Mr. Shen, but he dares to insult him with wild words. Enough for a whole meal."

After Shen Qianqiu finished speaking, he had already come to the front yard. He walked up to Zhou Kang, stared at him, and continued:

"What's more, Mr. Zhou has committed the death crime of beheading many times."

Zhou Kang was naturally unconvinced, and was about to curse back, but Zhou Zuowei said in a deep voice:
"Shen Langzhong needs evidence for what he said, not whoever has more people can talk nonsense."

At this time, there was another sound of chaotic footsteps outside the door, and a fat man in armor rushed in with his troops. The Zhou Mansion, which was relatively spacious, immediately seemed cramped.

The fat man came closer, panting, "Lord Shen, what's going on?"

Xun Huo is bloated, but his mind is extremely delicate. He didn't draw his sword to stand up for his "brother" at the first moment, but asked the leader Shen Qianqiu why, making it clear that he didn't want to offend anyone.

Fatty Xun knew very well in his heart that since the opponent dared to lead troops to encircle the mansion, he must have come prepared, and it would be convenient to find out the opponent's hole cards first, and then he would be able to use the rudder when the wind blows.

……

Shen Qianqiu didn't hold back, directly took out a booklet and said:
"General Xun let's see for himself."

Xun Huo took the booklet, opened it and glanced at it, his face instantly turned ugly, and after turning through four or five pages in a row, his fat face gradually became gloomy. He and Zhou Zuowei had known each other for many years, so how could they fail to recognize each other's handwriting? The strips on the account book are clearly ironclad evidence of the crime committed by the other party.

The moment he saw the account book, Zhou Zuo's heart couldn't help beating wildly, but he still couldn't believe that it was the booklet hidden in the secret compartment of his study, so he tentatively asked:
"Brother Xun, what is written in this booklet?"

"shut up!"

Xun Huo, who has always been known as a "smiling tiger", suddenly opened his eyes wide with anger, raised his fat finger and scolded Zhou Zuo:
"How can you, a corrupt person who breaks the law, be Xun's brother? It's all my fault that I was blind and didn't see you as this kind of person. You and I will cut off our robes and never see each other again."

After Xun Huo finished speaking, he tore off a corner of his robe in front of everyone and threw it on the ground. This action was undoubtedly a public slap in the face of Zhou Zuo, and it was also doomed that the relationship between the two would not be eased in the future.

Zhou Zuowei's face was livid, but he didn't say a word. He can now be sure that this booklet is the one in his study.

Shen Qianqiu looked at Xun Huo's clumsy performance with cold eyes, but he was still worried that this guy would take out a weapon and fight with him. It seemed that he overestimated him. He was the one who killed and divided the spoils, and he was the one who made trouble. It was really despicable.

Just when Xun Huo was about to say goodbye with anger on his face, Shen Qianqiu suddenly said coldly:

"Where is Xun Baihu going?"
