Hope for luck

Chapter 37
Facing Yu Zongqi's questioning, Zhou Zhengxin argued hard with a livid face, saying that the salary had nothing to do with him.

"If it wasn't for your private collection, where did the food and salary come from today? How could it have nothing to do with you? The county magistrate has only come to us for a few days. Could it be that he can conjure it out of thin air?"

Yu Zongqi still looked very distrustful of Zhou Zhengxin, and firmly believed that it was Zhou Zhengxin who hid everyone's food and wages!

"What an idiot, I am too lazy to explain to a stupid idiot like you..."

Seeing this, Zhou Zhengxin was trembling with anger, and was about to walk away.

"Stop, today, if you don't speak clearly, you don't want to leave..."

Yu Zongqi stopped Zhou Zhengxin in an instant, not allowing him to leave, and stared at Zhou Zhengxin with wide eyes, as if he was about to hit someone.

Zhou Zhengxin was shocked when he saw this, he knew what kind of person Yu Zongqi was, he really dared to do it!

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhengxin was too frightened to take a step forward, and could only confront Yu Zongqi tremblingly.

"What are you doing? Yu Zongqi, why are you still in the county government office? Since you have no official or job title, you should have left the county government office earlier. After that, you must be summoned, and you must not come in!"

At this moment, Gao Pan came over with a relaxed face, saw the scene in front of him, and quickly reprimanded him.

Yu Zongqi came back to his senses, looked at Gao Pan with resentment on his face, then gave Zhou Zhengxin a hard look, pointed at the two of them and said:

"You bunch of corrupt officials, wait for me, when you have a better time..."

After finishing speaking, he flicked his sleeves and passed by Gao Pan. When passing by Gao Pan, he did not forget to cast a resentful glance at Gao Pan, as if conveying his hatred for Gao Pan!
Seeing this, Gao Pan's heart was like a mirror, and he glanced at his back contemptuously. He didn't care about Yu Zongqi's threat!

At this moment, Zhou Zhengxin wiped the sweat from his forehead and let out a long sigh of relief. He was really afraid of Yu Zongqi's attack just now.

Although a government servant will come to stop him, he will definitely be beaten by Yu Zongqi!

"Zhou County Prime Minister, Youdao is not afraid of the shadow slanting when you are upright, and Yu Zong is at best a reckless man who knows how to do kung fu. As a court official, are you afraid of him being a vulgar person?"

Gao Pan held his words, looked at Zhou Zhengxin contemptuously and said.

Zhou Zhengwen said, his face changed slightly, and he quickly bowed and said:

"What your lord said is that the official thought he was the chief envoy of the regiment training camp. If you encounter him like this again next time, the official will definitely take him down!"

Zhou Zhengxin's words made Gao Pan nod in satisfaction. Now Zhou Zhengxin's handle has fallen into his hands. As long as Gao Pan doesn't leak it out, Zhou Zhengxin will be under Gao Pan's restraint for the rest of his life.

"Master Yin, go and give 13 taels of silver to the Du family. I promised Master Du yesterday!"

Immediately, Gao Pan glanced at Yin Weian who was beside Zhou Zhengxin and said.

Yin Weian subconsciously showed a look of pain, and then reacted, looked at Zhou Zhengxin beside him, and his face changed drastically in an instant.

"Big... my lord, humble job... where can I get 13 taels of silver for a humble job?"

Yin Wei'an looked at Zhou Zhengxin, who had a dark face at this moment, and knew that he was thinking wrong, so he quickly said to Gao Pan with a wry smile.

"What? I gave you so much silver, and it's gone?"

Gao Pan raised his voice a little and asked questioningly.

"No... no, I'll give it to you now!"

Yin Wei'an was sweating profusely on his forehead at the moment, and he couldn't ignore Gao Pan's words, and now that things had turned into yellow mud, he had no choice but to bow down and agree.

Before leaving, he glanced at Zhou Zhengxin again. Seeing Zhou Zhengxin's livid and black face at this moment, Yin Wei'an trembled inwardly, and quickly pretended nothing happened, and left the place quickly.

"Prime Minister Zhou, I still have important work to do, so I won't chat with Prime Minister Zhou!"

After Yin Weian left, Gao Pan said something polite to Zhou Zhengxin, and then left here too.

But Zhou Zhengxin barely smiled and watched Gao Pan leave.

After seeing Gao Pan's figure leave his sight, Zhou Zhengxin's face turned livid in an instant.

He gritted his teeth and muttered to himself:

"Yin... Wei... An... you traitor!"

Just now Gao Pan said that he gave Yin Weian a lot of money, but Yin Weian admitted it!
This is like telling Zhou Zhengxin that Yin Wei'an has been bought by Gao Pan.

As for the tricks in the warehouse, Yin Weian happened to know about it, and Zhou Zhengxin was wondering why Gao Pan knew about the warehouse, and suspected that Yin Weian had informed him!
But when he first asked Yin Weian, Yin Weian pretended to be innocent and loyal, so that Zhou Zhengxin no longer doubted him.

But just now, Yin Weian was willing to give Gao Pan money, not to mention, according to what Gao Pan said, he gave Yin Weian a lot of money!
In this way, Zhou Zhengxin immediately thought that Yin Wei'an had been bought by Gao Pan with money, and Yin Wei'an had told Gao Pan about the warehouse, otherwise, how would Gao Pan know the secret?
But at this moment, Yin Weian felt very wronged in his heart. Thinking of Zhou Zhengxin looking at him viciously, Yin Weian felt that he regretted it!
I thought to myself, how could I have been greedy back then, and put the more than 20 taels of silver into my pocket?
Now, even if Zhou Zhengxin was told the truth, he wouldn't believe it, would he?At this moment, Zhou Zhengxin must not know how to hate himself?
What's even more frightening is that Zhou Zhengxin will definitely think that he told Gao Pan about the mess in the warehouse!
In this way, in the county government, he will stop trying to get close to Zhou Zhengxin!
Thinking of this, a wave of melancholy welled up in Yin Weian's heart. As he walked, he thought about where he would go from now on!

"Master Yin, I am here to take back the money owed by the Peng family for my master. The magistrate just said that you will pay for him!"

At this moment, a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper looked at Yin Wei'an with a smile on his face and said.

Yin Wei'an woke up when he heard the words, and when he saw the person in front of him clearly, he recovered a little, and said with a smile:

"It turned out to be Steward Du. When you came to ask for the bill, did Master Du say anything?"

"No, no, the third master of our family is still locked up in the county government office. How can he dare to say anything? He just thought, collected the money, and settled this matter!"

Butler Du replied with a flattering smile.

After hearing this, Yin Weian felt that something was wrong. According to the Du family's previous style, it was impossible to just take back 13 taels and settle things hastily.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!
Yin Weian narrowed his eyes and looked at Steward Du, took out a silver bag from his pocket, counted 13 taels of silver, handed it to Steward Du, and said softly:
"Be more careful. If you leave this door, you won't recognize it. The accounts of the Peng family and your Du family will naturally be cancelled!"

"Master Yin was joking. We all know what you do, and there will definitely be a lot. This is an IOU. Look at it, it has been clearly marked. Naturally, this IOU will be useless in the future!"

Steward Du hurriedly took the broken silver respectfully, without considering the weight or quality, he put it into the cloth pocket, took out the IOU, and said flatteringly in front of Yin Weian.
