After being mistaken for a fellow by Long Aotian

"Damn," the emperor said next to Zhou Xun, "this week's family is pretty awesome, are you still playing this game?"

The Zhou family really regarded the Mighty Hall in front of them as their own stage.

Father Zhou came up with the cane to clean the door.The crowd of onlookers was buzzing, even knowing that the emperor was here, they couldn't help whispering.

"This attack is ruthless enough."

"The Zhou family is going to be the front door?"

"This week Hong is still their son, if it's a show, it's cruel enough."

But no matter what, they were still shocked by the Zhou family's ruthlessness.

"Hong'er," Father Zhou, who was at the center of everyone's discussion, looked at his youngest son and closed his eyes, "It's because Daddy didn't teach you well before. Let's be father and son in the next life, and give the world an explanation!"

As he spoke, he swung the cane down.This time he punched very fast, and there was a bloodstain when he went down.

"what!"

The screams of weeping blood sounded in the courtroom, followed by one, and another.Father Zhou closed his eyes and beat his son.He heard his son's screams, why wasn't his heart bleeding?

But his eldest son did tell him so.So far, only he himself can act first to save his youngest son.This is the government after all, so you can't just watch him beat your son to death here, right?

The cries gradually weakened in the courtroom, Zhou Hong was dripping with blood, and the spectators at the banquet gradually became uneasy.

"Is this going to be beaten to death here alive?"

"It's a close relative after all, it's really a bit..."

"Too cruel……"

Amidst the rising waves of sound, a sound finally came from the originally silent second floor.

"Stop it." The man said, "Mr. Zhou's love for his son is indeed sincere. I have seen this scene and was very touched."

The emperor has spoken! !

Father Zhou stopped his hands immediately, and before he could show the joy of "winning the bet", the emperor's next words came.

"Looking at it now, exiling Zhou Hong and separating his flesh and blood from his close relatives is really inhumane." The emperor continued, "Yes, Zhou Hong is still young, so he will inevitably make mistakes. We also have to give him a chance to correct himself."

"Now it seems that Zhou's family has a strict family style, Zhou's father is strict, and Zhou Cai is also a first-class talent. It is only appropriate for you to teach Zhou Hong to be good."

Father Zhou's face suddenly showed joy.

Save it!

On the contrary, Zhou Cai in the crowd was not happy.

His face darkened only at this moment.

Originally, he wanted to use this as an opportunity to drive Zhou Hong out of the Zhou family and draw a boundary together, but he didn't expect that the emperor's intention was to let Zhou Hong stay!

The emperor's kindness was beyond his imagination.

But he didn't expect the emperor to have another sentence.

"Since that's the case, you should go to the northwest with Zhou Hong." The emperor said, "It's better for a family to be neat and tidy."

Father Zhou:? ?

Zhou Hong:? ? ?

Zhou Cai, who was still regretting just now:? ? ?

Crowd: ? ?

"The matter is so settled, clean it up immediately, Zhou Hong is exiled to the northwest, accompanied by Zhou's father, and Zhou Cai is transferred to the northwest." The emperor said, "Mr. Zhou is very compassionate. Dispose of the son according to the family law. I would rather sacrifice the life of the child than maintain the family style of the Zhou family. Tiger poison does not eat its sons, and the Zhou family's father's love is so extreme, I am really touched!"

The noisy crowd fell silent in an instant.The onlookers, who couldn't bear it because of the bloody scene just now, were awakened by the emperor's cold words.

yes!How did they not think of it just now?

For one thing, this is the government office.The Zhou family trespassed in court, disregarded the laws of the country, and dealt with their children according to family rules in public, completely ignoring the emperor and the government.

Second, when the verdict was not yet handed down, the Zhou family did not see any action.After the verdict came out, Zhou's father wanted to clean up the house instead, which inevitably seemed to be a bit of a show.

three...

"What's the matter? Why don't you thank you?" The emperor on the second floor continued, "I have fulfilled your father-son relationship, why don't you say a word?"

Huang Shilang, the presiding judge, also said as if he had just woken up from a dream: "Why don't you hurry up and thank you?"

No matter how unwilling you are.Father Zhou also shut up and thanked him.Zhou Hong, who was covered in bruises, was also lifted up by several officials, and thanked him in the direction of the second floor.

In the end, only Zhou Cai was left.Zhou Cai stood up in full view, and kowtowed deeply to the position on the second floor.

"Thank you." He said in a low voice.

"Okay, okay, everyone is happy!" The emperor applauded happily.The people downstairs only saw him whispering to the people around him: "Enough of today's excitement, let's go, continue to play?"

The twists and turns of the Zhou family case ended with the entire Zhou family being expelled from the capital.Even the political opponent who hates Zhou Cai the most, never expected that this matter would have such a result.Originally they thought the best, but they just got rid of Zhou Hong.The Zhou family abandoned their pawns to protect the commander, and Zhou Caiguan was demoted to one level.

But who knows that not only Zhou Hong has been thrown out, Zhou's father has also been thrown out, even Zhou Cai has been transferred out of the capital.

But if we really want to talk about this matter, we can only blame the Zhou family for playing too much.After all, the reason given by the emperor was that he was moved by the Zhou family's "deep love between father and son", and couldn't bear to be separated from each other, so he let the whole Zhou family reunite in the frontier.

Here Zhou Xun and the emperor are dining in a restaurant.Not halfway through the meal, someone came to report that the mother and son of the Lu family begged to see her.

Presumably these two came here for a series of oolongs in the court.Zhou Xun thought about it, and let them in anyway.

Aunt Lu was led behind by Lu Bin, with a face full of self-blame. After entering, she kept apologizing, scolding herself for being a pig's brain and dog's eyes, listening to slander, and almost causing trouble.Zhou Xun just listened indifferently, shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'm helping you just for my own peace of mind."

"Young Master Xun, I really want to repay you." Aunt Lu regretted, "I always felt that you officials and nobles just used us as sticks to beat the Zhou family and wanted to do it for us." Nothing, it’s not sincere. We are a pair of orphans and widows. From now on, we have nothing to rely on. I just want to grasp what is in front of me, just grasp what is in front of me. But I am a person who can’t do anything well , I wanted to repay my benefactor, but I also went to the wrong place, I really..."

Zhou Xun said: "You and Lu Bin just take care of yourselves, you don't have to worry about my affairs here."

"It's enough for me to worry about Zhou Xun's affairs." The emperor seemed a little impatient, "Oh, please be more open-minded, everything is settled, that's it!"

He made a final decision, and showed an inscrutable smile to Lu Bin.

"Compared with these trivial matters, you should think more about how to complete the tasks I entrusted to you." He said coldly.

The mother and son of the Lu family walked out of the restaurant.Lu Bin was thinking about the emperor all the way, and Mrs. Lu was sitting beside him, but her eyes gradually became wet.

She thought, she is really useless!

She is greedy, stupid, stubborn, short-sighted, and gullible.But at this moment, she really wanted to do something for Zhou Xun, to make up for the series of troubles she had caused Zhou Xun.

But what can a useless old woman do for Mr. Zhou?

She can't do anything.

Aunt Lu returned to her residence with wet eyes.This night, she rarely thought about what would happen to the Zhou family, nor did she think about her next plan.She just held her son's leg and thought about what she could do.

She had to think longer, longer, she knew that it was easy for a person like herself to do bad things.For a person with low abilities like her, if she wanted to help someone, she would have to think for a long time about what to do.

In the restaurant, after the two left, Zhou Xun asked the emperor suspiciously, "What did you ask Lu Bin to think about just now?"

Emperor: "I don't know."

Zhou Xun: "Huh??"

"I always feel that people like Lu Bin have special plans in their hearts... Okay." The emperor scratched his head, "Actually, I don't know why, after I came here..."

Zhou Xun:?

Emperor: "I always feel that I don't need to say anything, other people just rely on their brains to get things done for me."

Zhou Xun: ...

Emperor: "So I have been trying to give others room to make up their minds, and what do you think?"

He picked up a chopstick for Zhou Xun and said: "Lu Bin must be very embarrassed when what happened just now. It just so happens that I give him something more to make him go back and make up his mind, so he won't have time to worry about spring and autumn. , right?"

Zhou Xun: "...you are so witty."

He was holding the vegetables, and heard the emperor ramble: "Actually, I really wanted to scold that old lady just now. She is such an idiot, and I am so angry. But after thinking about it, she is an old lady after all, and I am a young lady." It always feels inappropriate for a strong young man to scold the old lady."

"This is also due to the limitation of her knowledge, so it's meaningless to scold her. The one who committed the crime is the Zhou family." Zhou Xun said.

"This time I finally found a suitable reason to pack the Zhou family out together." The emperor said triumphantly, "Out of sight, out of mind, just right, you are preparing for the exam, and don't let them dawdle in front of your eyes this year."

As he spoke, he patted the back of Zhou Xun's hand and said, "You're fine now, let's take the exam well, and when you finish the exam, I'll give it to you..."

"Give me what?" Zhou Xun asked him.

The emperor thought for a while, and had an idea: "Post the entire Zhou family back!"

Zhou Xun: "...Huh?"

"Pack it up and post it back, and I'll give you a lot of trouble." The emperor said triumphantly, "We tyrants are so sure about revenge!"

Seeing him pointing at his chest with a confident look, Zhou Xun couldn't help but smile, his eyes curved like crescent moons.

The emperor saw that his eyes were bent, and his own eyes were also bent.

"Let's go to the theater later, the theater is quite close, let's walk there." The emperor said, "By the way, why did old man Shen go back?"

"Maybe I saw you, so I felt relieved and went back."

Emperor: "Ah?? This is the father-in-law seeing his son-in-law... No, son-in-law?"

"What are you thinking?" Zhou Xun was a little annoyed, "Of course I came to see you, the emperor whose temperament has changed a lot."

Emperor: "Oh."

"He felt very relieved when he saw you, so he left." Zhou Xun said.

Emperor: "He thinks I'm reassuring?"

Zhou Xun: "Yes."

The two walked quietly on the way to the theater.Ginkgo trees are planted on both sides of the road, and the small golden fans tremble in the wind.Every time they took a step, the leaves of the tree trembled.

They walked for a long time on the road. At first the emperor said a few words occasionally, and then he didn't say a word. He just walked the long, long way very quietly, feeling each other's shoulders touching each other occasionally while walking. breath.

Gradually, the silence disappeared, and the noise came.The night lights and festoons rise in the distance of the street, and the theater is ahead.The moon and the wind were covered, and the noisy crowd also appeared, holding tickets, rushing towards the direction of the theater.The theater is the most famous actor in the capital, and every time he performs, there are no empty seats.Anyone who has a ticket will not miss this excitement.

"How about we..." Zhou Xun heard the emperor's low voice.

"Walk again?" he said.

Zhou Xun said, "Okay."

They turned back, leaving behind them the excitement.The moon and the wind came out again.They went on to walk the long way together in silence.

Although the hands they held together were already sweating.The emperor shook his hand and said, "It's nothing, I just suddenly want to see the moon again."

"The moonlight tonight is so beautiful."
