Zhou Shilang's words greatly added a lot of confidence and momentum to his side.

The government officials who had been timid just now puffed out their chests and looked arrogant.

Yes, you can say how tough the backstage is, but it still needs to have a shadow. For a place like the General's Mansion, it has been two or three days since something went wrong, and no one even showed his face.

As a relative, look, is this ridiculous?

The yamen servants are also serving dishes to others. If they are afraid of something, it is easy to say, but if they are not afraid of something, a family like the Zhao family, which has no official position and no power, and is only a little wealthy because of the shadow of its ancestors, is a proper big fat sheep. .

Everyone has heard that Zhou Shilang asked the Zhao family to pay 10 taels of silver. Is a human life worth 10 taels?

Whether it's worth it or not depends on the person. Ordinary people would pay a hundred taels in compensation and no one would dare to have a dispute.

As for Zhou Shilang's family, that's different.

According to the rules of the officialdom, it is impossible for Zhou Shilang to monopolize the 10 taels by himself, and everyone who sees it will have a share.

As for whether the Zhao family can take it out, that is the Zhao family's business. If the entire family is drained, they may not be able to retaliate.

When Zhou Shilang looked at the ancestral home of the Zhao family, his eyes were filled with greed. He had to say that the ancestral home of the Zhao family was really not comparable to that of ordinary aristocratic families.

Of course Shilang Zhou was greedy.

Zhou Shilang's words were equivalent to giving the Zhao family a heads-up, causing the Zhao family's strong momentum to die down in an instant.

Yes, there really is no one working for them in the General's Mansion.

No matter how busy the old grandma is when she comes back, it will always be empty talk.

Yu Wei neither said that he would help the Zhao family nor how to help the Zhao family.

Just asking grandma to check this and that, what's the use if she finds out.

Could it be that if you find out, you can help the boss get away with it? If you find out, you can protect the Zhao family from any harm.

Madam Zhao was now extremely dissatisfied with her granddaughter.

Zhou Shilang saw the expressions of the Zhao family in his eyes, and he sneered twice: "I am here today for no other reason than Zhao Da beating my nephew to death. I asked my brother with white hair to give away black hair." Man, my nephew was my brother’s only son, and he was beaten to death by Zhao Da. Your Zhao family has to give an explanation to the Zhou family, and give an explanation to my brother.”

That Young Master Zhou was still the only one in the Zhou family's family. The Zhao family knew about this, and because they knew it, everyone became more and more guilty.

But that’s 10 taels!

If we really hand over these 10 taels, the Zhao family will be doomed.

Dozens of people will just drink the northwest wind from now on, and they won't live anymore. What's the difference between this and sending people to prison?

First, the Zhao family is rogue, for example, I don’t know what you are talking about, and for another example, the eldest brother has been arrested, and you, the Zhou family, are going too far.

In short, no one on either side is convinced by the other.

Although Zhou Shilang brought many government servants with him, he really didn't get to the last step of giving the order. Who dared to take action risking his life? Several women and men stared at them, barely lying on the ground.

The government officials would not take the initiative to provoke this.

So both sides started a verbal attack.

At the end of the quarrel, Zhou Shilang drew out his saber. As the cold light flashed, the Zhao family hurriedly retreated.

Then Zhou Shilang made a request that the Zhao family first take out the deed of the ancestral home as a mortgage, and 10 taels of snowflake silver was given to the Zhao family for a month to let them raise money.

To be honest, many of the Zhao family's female relatives and juniors were moved by this news.

But the first person to object fiercely was Mrs. Zhao and her sons.

"This is the ancestral home of my Zhao family. My surname is Zhou. You are very good at planning. I tell you, don't even think about this. If someone wants to arrest you, arrest them. Don't scare me with this trick. , I have 83 people in the Zhao family. If you want to kill everyone with the surname Zhou, I won’t believe you. There really is no king’s law in this capital!”

The old lady has lived a long life, and even if she doesn't take life and death lightly, she still has to pretend now.

Who dares to sacrifice 83 human lives to block Mr. Zhou’s case?

The old lady knew that Zhou Shilang might not really mean this. The whole Zhao family was in prison. Zhou Shilang could only dare to kill a few of them at most. The entire Zhao family, not even the prince, had such great rights.

In addition, the Zhou family may not really be afraid of the General's Mansion settling the scores in the future. The General's Mansion doesn't care about it now, but if they want to take care of it one day, the Zhou family will be completely destroyed.

Shilang Zhou can see clearly, the old lady can see clearly, and other smart people can also see clearly.

There are only some women and children in the Zhao family who are stupid.

After hearing what the old lady said, several women and children immediately knelt down and begged: "Grandma (mother), I don't want to die yet, please save our lives."

The old lady really hates the fact that iron cannot become steel. The walking stick is almost poking holes in the ground.

Zhou Shilang looked at this farce with a smile flashing in his eyes.

When he was about to say something, a person hurriedly walked in from outside. It was the old lady who had just returned from doing errands outside.

As soon as she saw the group of government officials, the old woman immediately understood what was going on. Before anyone even stepped through the threshold, the sound reached everyone's ears.

"Old madam, old madam, the uncle has been wronged. My aunt said that she has obtained the evidence and asked the old lady to wait. The General's Office will redress the grievances for the uncle. The aunt said that no one will be spared who has wronged the uncle. !”

These words almost turned the situation upside down. The women and children of the Zhao family stopped panicking. Their knees instantly became stiff and the tears on their faces disappeared very quickly.

This time it was the yamen's turn to panic. One by one, you looked at me and I looked at you.

Didn't it mean that no one in the General's Mansion was working for the Zhao family?

Zhou Shilang's face was also very gloomy. Others didn't understand the connection, but he understood.

The general's wife only has a name for nothing, and she will not let anyone go if she has any rights. The Zhao family are all good at telling lies.

But he couldn't tell anyone else.

If you say it, it will inevitably reveal the truth.

The Zhao family started to tremble. Seeing that the situation was irreversible, Zhou Shilang was worried about the evidence that the old woman said, so he had no choice but to take a group of people back home.

However, before leaving, you still have to say harsh words. Not to mention whether the threat can be achieved, at the very least, it must make people in the Zhao family panic.

As soon as Minister Zhou left, the old woman was surrounded.

"How's it going? Did you find any evidence? That girl Yu Wei said she wanted to avenge the boss?"

The old grandma looked at Zhao Mansion's expectant eyes, and she couldn't say the truth.

So she said with a fake smile: "My aunt said she would help. She said that there is something fishy about uncle, so she will definitely help investigate. After all, she is also a daughter of the Zhao family. She has received so many favors from the old lady since she was a child. My aunt is not ungrateful." The person who reported the picture, old madam, don’t you think so?”

The old lady stared at the old nanny for a long time, and then nodded with a reserved expression: "That girl is not ignorant."

It was not the case before, but the old lady cannot guarantee whether it is the case now.
