Ever since he learned that Zheng Lang hadn't returned to the Qi Palace overnight, Zhou Jun knew that he had made a mistake.
He finally understood why Xiao Jie came to visit him for no reason, and said inexplicable words to his son. It turned out that the drunkard's intention was not to drink, but the ultimate purpose was to put pressure on Zheng Lang who was always in panic, forcing him to do something for him. He did not hesitate to sell himself to save his life.
At this moment, Zhou Jun only hated himself for being in the officialdom for more than [-] years in vain, and unexpectedly failed to see through Xiao Jie's tricks, so that he fell into the current passive situation.
The only thing that Zhou Jun is thankful for is that although Zheng Lang is his party member and knows that he has a lot of shady secrets, but fortunately he has always been careful in his actions, and many things are ordered by himself, not written on paper and pen. Even if Zheng Lang really wants to Selling yourself is also empty talk, as long as you refuse to admit it to death, no one can do anything to win yourself.
But even so, for some reason, Zhou Jun always felt a little uneasy in his heart, always feeling that something bad was about to happen.
Zhou Jun's premonition was very accurate. What he didn't know was that on the street not far away at this time, [-] armored soldiers were running towards his Zhou mansion. They all had stern faces. , with a murderous look, the pedestrians on the road gave way one after another. Seeing the armor of these soldiers, which they had never seen before, they secretly guessed the identities of these soldiers, and wanted to know their target of action.
Not long after, these soldiers rushed to the gate of the Zhou mansion, scattered back and forth under the horrified eyes of the servants of the Zhou family, and instantly surrounded the entire mansion, making it difficult to fly even with wings.
One of the servants was clever, and he was the first to come to his senses, and ran as fast as he could to the back house to report the news.
There was also a servant who boldly stepped forward and asked loudly, "Who are you? Do you know where this is? Who gave you the courage to surround our Zhou Zhongshuling's mansion?"
Facing the three life-threatening questions from the family member of the Zhou family, a man with the appearance of a military officer just looked at him coldly, and said with a cold snort: "We are just following orders, what's the matter, wait for our captain to come. "
Hearing that the opponent's Shangguan was just a small captain, the servant of the Zhou Mansion became more and more arrogant: "I thought who would have the guts to send troops to surround our Zhou Mansion. It turned out to be just a small captain. I can see that he is simply impatient."
"Who do you say is living impatiently?"
At this time, a cold voice slowly came from outside the gate: "Who do you say is impatient?"
Ding Xun, a member of the Zhou family, looked at him, his complexion turned pale instantly, and his body trembled involuntarily.
He recognized the speaker, it was Qi Wang Xiao Jie who suddenly visited the Zhou Mansion yesterday.
At this time, the soldiers at the gate also saw Xiao Jie, and bowed down one after another: "See Your Highness King Qi."
Zhou Jiajia Ding's face became paler, and he finally realized that the captain he was talking about was actually the captain of Sili who was in charge of the entire Sili Prefecture, and these lawless soldiers were the officials and apprentices of Zhongdu. so strange.
The members of the Zhou family were too frightened to speak any more. Just when the matter did not end well, Zhou Quan finally rushed over after hearing the news. When he saw Xiao Jie and the wolf-like officials and apprentices of Zhongdu, he couldn't help but panic, but Still pretending to be calm, he stepped forward and said coldly to Xiao Jie: "His Royal Highness Qi Wang, I want to ask which law of the king of Daning our Zhou family has violated, so that we will suffer such great shame and humiliation."
Even though he and Zhou Quan were called brothers and sisters yesterday, Xiao Jie no longer showed the gentleness of yesterday on his face. Instead, he smiled lightly and said in a cold voice: "Someone reported to Emperor Father that your father neglected human life for his own self-interest when the Huaihe River broke the embankment. Royal father ordered me to investigate this matter, I just come to the door to inquire about it face-to-face as a matter of routine."
Hearing that Xiao Jie came here at the emperor's order, Zhou Qun's complexion changed drastically, and he panicked for no reason, but he still pretended to be calm and said: "Since His Highness is here to ask questions, it's fine, but why bring Isn't it intentional to damage the reputation of my Zhou family by going to so many officials and apprentices in the Central Capital?"
Xiao Jie smiled playfully: "Brother Zhou's words are wrong. If your Zhou family is really innocent, no one can ruin your reputation."
Zhou Quan could hear the sarcasm in Xiao Jie's tone, and he was naturally unconvinced. He was about to refute, but he heard an angry voice behind him.
"His Royal Highness King Qi is so majestic. I couldn't see the old man when I came to the door yesterday. Are you going to bring troops to the door today to trouble our Zhou family?"
While speaking, Zhou Jun walked over surrounded by a large group of servants, looked at Xiao Jie coldly, and said angrily: "Since your highness keeps saying that the old man neglected human life for his own self-interest when the Huaihe River burst, I wonder if your highness can show evidence. If you can't get it out, don't blame the old man for being ruthless and accusing His Highness of slandering an important court official in front of His Majesty."
As expected of a veteran minister who has been in the officialdom for more than [-] years, his aura is full when he speaks, his eyes are sharp and his tone is aggressive, as if he has really been insulted.
But Xiao Jie was not intimidated, with a faint smile still on his face, he said: "Since I dare to bring troops to the door, does Zhou Zhongshuling think that I have no evidence?"
Seeing Xiao Jie's determination, Zhou Jun panicked for no reason, but he didn't show any signs of weakness on his face, let alone showing weakness: "Then your Highness will bring the evidence to the old man to see what happened."
At this moment, Zhou Jun could only secretly pray for the protection of Gods and Buddhas in the sky, Xiao Jie was just scaring himself, and the purpose was just to set his own words.
But he was soon disappointed, Xiao Jie took out a letter from his sleeve, waved it in front of Zhou Jun, and said with a smile, "I wonder if Zhou Zhongshuling has seen this letter before?"
Zhou Jun's complexion changed instantly, and he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
Of course he recognized the letter, because it was exactly what he wrote to Zheng Lang.
When the Huaihe River broke its embankment, houses were destroyed, and fertile land was flooded, Yangzhou and Xuzhou were severely affected, and the people were displaced and left their homes. King Xiao Zan of Zhao and King Xiao Heng of Chu both wanted to do this job of governing the Huaihe River. In the end, Emperor Xiao Ji appointed the elder Xiao Zan, king of Zhao, served as an imperial envoy, and Zheng Lang, deputy of the household servant, went to the Huaihe River Basin to control the floods.
Zhou Jun was worried that once Xiao Zan made great achievements in governing the river, the emperor would definitely look at him differently, and his nephew Xiao Heng, king of Chu, would have a much lower chance of winning the East Palace.
In order to stop Xiao Zan, and also to prevent Zheng Lang from playing tricks on both sides, Zhou Jun sent someone to send a personal letter to Zheng Lang who was far away in the Huaihe River, asking him to find a way to deliberately delay, so that the relief money and food could not be delivered. to the Huaihe River, which ruined Xiao Zan's disaster relief plan.
Out of caution, Zhou Jun also specifically ordered Zheng Lang to burn the letter after reading it, and never leave any evidence behind, but he didn't expect Zheng Lang to keep this hand and hand over such important evidence to Xiao Jie.
Zhou Jun's complexion was pale, his heart was ashamed, he sighed a long time, and said nothing...
The capital is a place where news cannot be hidden. It didn't take long for the entire Luoyang city to know that Xiao Jie led his troops to arrest Zhou Jun, the secretary of the court.
But as the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, and experts watch the way.Many officials are well aware that this is just Xiao Jie's excuse, the purpose is to get revenge on Zhou Jun for instigating his party member Zheng Lang to publicly humiliate him at the court meeting that day.
While everyone was still guessing how the imperial court would deal with Zhou Jun, news came from the palace that Xiao Jie asked for an order to grant Zhou Jun death.
As soon as this news came out, the world was shocked instantly.
He finally understood why Xiao Jie came to visit him for no reason, and said inexplicable words to his son.
