Siheyuan: Don't mess with me

"Take my jade pendant and go to see my uncle. I will join the Labor Reform Department as a marriage officer to investigate this case!

If this happens, I will ask the officials to reward you!"

Liu E was decisive. After hearing Zhou Cong say that there was evidence, she took out a mutton-fat jade pendant and handed it over.

She has slender fingers and extremely white skin, as if transparent.

Holding a jade pendant, its shape and beauty can compete with mutton-fat jade.

"Thank you saint, everyone in the palace is fine and you will wake up soon!"

After taking the jade pendant, Zhou Cong bowed deeply to Liu E, jumped out of the window, and disappeared into the night.

After walking to the window and looking outside twice, Liu E sat back on the bed.

Seeing the maids and chamberlains collapsed on the ground, murderous intent was in their eyes.

With Liu E's jade pendant, it is quite easy to meet Liu Mei.

After listening to Liu E's words, Liu Mei immediately ordered Zhou Cong to be transferred to the Labor Reform Department to serve as a marriage officer.

This department is an agency that specializes in managing reform-through-labor prisoners. All officials do not need to be selected by the Ministry of Personnel, and they are not listed in the Ministry of Personnel. Liu Mei can make her own decisions.

Later, Liu Mei assigned fifty people to Zhou Cong to serve as his subordinates.

These fifty people were transferred from the Forbidden Army and were a capable force.

Everyone standing in the hall looked at Zhou Cong in front of them with puzzled eyes.

"Everyone, I have only one principle, and that is to obey orders.

Even if I ask you to kill the uncle of the current dynasty, you still have to rush forward for me, and you will be rewarded when the time comes!

If anyone dares to disobey my orders, then don’t blame me for being ruthless!"

Having said this, Zhou Cong jumped up, flew to a tree, and slashed the air.

With a click, a branch as thick as a human head was cut off by him with a long knife and fell to the ground.

"Respect your order!"

Zhou Cong's move was definitely not possible by everyone present, and everyone was in awe.

"With punishment comes reward. Each person takes five strings of money as a greeting gift to the official!"

Zhou Cong turned around and smashed two large boxes to the ground.

With a crash, the box shattered.

The money tied by the red rope was scattered all over the floor.

"Thank you, sir, for the reward!"

The deputy concubine who led fifty people was named Lei Qiande, and he quickly took the lead in shouting.

And he walked quickly to the broken box, took out five strings of money and put it in his arms.

Naturally, other villagers followed suit and stashed away their money.

"Lei Qiande, come in and discuss matters with me!"

Although Zhou Cong showed kindness and power, he seemed to have calmed everyone down.

But he also knew that this was just a superficial phenomenon. If he really ordered a knife to behead Liu Mei, these people would definitely turn against him.

But, it doesn't matter!

Originally, he didn't want to do anything to Liu Mei. If he wanted to kill someone, he couldn't use anyone else, he could just use the knife himself.

He only wants them to use them to do things.

After telling Lei Qiande what he was going to do, Zhou Cong got up and left the workshop department, casually ordered five workshop workers, followed him, and went onto the street.

With money in hand, it is not difficult to do things.

Under his arrangement, I spent 30,000 yuan to buy a five-bedroom house with ease.

After looking at the house and handing over the money, Zhou Cong felt a little stunned.

Damn it, houses in Bianjing are too expensive!

At the same time, I am more convinced that Zhao Paner and others are the heroines, and there are people to help them wherever they go.

Chen Lian, a mere soldier, had a big house for Zhao Pan'er and others to settle in Bianjing.

You know, in historical records, Ouyang Xiu, Su Che and others all rented houses in Bianjing.

Although that was a matter of the Renzong Dynasty, the same was true of the Zhenzong Dynasty.

The current deputy prime minister Yang Li also rented a house in Bianjing. After he died of illness, Song Zhenzong went to pay homage and found that the alley at the door could not even pass a car.

A deputy prime minister can't defeat Zhao Pan'er and three other women. This heroine's aura is absolutely brilliant, and she will definitely shine in all things.

After buying the house, Zhou Cong kept the three people behind and gave them a thousand dollars to buy things for use.

And explain that the things you buy must be the best things on the market.

Then, two more people were sent to the dock to wait for the ship of Song Yinzhang and others.

Although the fly-class drone told Zhou Cong that it would take six or seven days for the crew's ship to arrive at the dock.

But he had to make the gesture he was looking forward to, and he had to give the little girls full surprises.

That night!

Outside Changle Casino.

Zhou Cong and Lei Qiande were waiting here and saw a man walking over happily.

"Get it for me without harming your life!"

After giving the order, Lei Qiande came up with twenty people to copy the swords.

This man was just an ordinary servant of the Yushi Zhongcheng Mansion. He had never seen such a battle before. When he saw Lei Qiande and others rushing over like tigers and wolves, he was so frightened that he trembled and fell to the ground.

Department of Labor Correction, in prison.

Zhou Cong stood with his hands behind his hands and looked coldly at the man in front of him who was tied to the pillar with iron chains.

"Tell me, where did this jade pendant come from?"

He walked forward slowly and gave the man the jade pendant in his hand.

"This jade pendant was just picked up by me on the road!"

Seeing this jade pendant that he had just pawned, the man hurriedly said.

"How dare you dare to quibble when you are about to die. This jade pendant was given to Xiao Shijun, the magistrate of Suzhou, how could you pick it up? Come on, give me a torture!"

Zhou Cong ordered loudly.

Immediately, Lei Qiande rushed over and swung the water-soaked whip with such force that the man's skin was torn and his body was bruised and he fainted.

A basin of cold water was poured down, and the man groaned and woke up.

"Sir, I really picked up this jade pendant on the road just now and pawned it for dead in a pawn shop! Even if you beat me to death, I can't get you anything else!"

Seeing Lei Qiande swinging his whip and trying to strike, the man begged.

"I would like to say it again, this is a royal gift from Commander Xiao's family! Commander Xiao was beheaded, and his head and a large amount of money were lost together.

This matter is involved in the imperial case, you'd better tell the truth, otherwise, the three tribes will be wiped out!

You are just a minor servant of Qi Zhongcheng's family, why should you bear such a big stake in what your master does.

According to my opinion, your jade pendant was clearly stolen in the back garden of the Qi family.

Moreover, I also told you that this thing is buried under the peony flower bed!

It was obvious that you had malicious intentions after seeing Qi Zhongcheng bury things secretly and owing money due to gambling, so you committed this theft.

Because I was afraid of stealing too much, I only dared to steal this jade pendant. There are other things buried under the flower bed, yes or no!"

Speaking of this, Zhou Cong's voice became colder.

"Yes! What the Lord said is absolutely correct. It was the villain who took advantage of the wealth and stole the things that Qi Zhongcheng hid under the peony flower bed!

Please, sir, please spare this villain’s life!”

This person is not a fool. How could he not hear the profound meaning of Zhou Cong's words and start shouting.

"Write the charges and ask him to sign them! Send all the stolen goods and evidence of the crime to the uncle!"

After stretching, Zhou Cong ordered.

"My subordinate understands!"

Lei Qiande responded quickly and looked at Zhou Cong with fear in his eyes.

This person's ability to turn a deer into a horse is quite good. Even if he is Liu Mei's confidant, he can't help but be a little scared.

When the confession was handed over to Liu Mei, it was deemed to have been handed over to Liu E.

Under Liu E's efforts, Song Zhenzong ordered Zhou Huaizheng, the eunuch, and the Imperial City Secretary to search Qi Mu's residence.

Sure enough, as stated in the confession, a large amount of property and Xiao Qinyan's head were found under the peony flower bed.

This human head is hidden in quicklime, and its appearance is lifelike.

There were steel needles pierced through the seven orifices including the eyes, ears, nose, and mouth, and there were red strips of cloth hanging on them, which read Xiao Qinyan's birth date.

The news spread to the imperial court, causing many ministers to discuss it.

The Qingliu party thought it was a thief shouting to catch the thief. It was clearly the Hou party who killed Xiao Qinyan and then framed the blame on Qi Zhongcheng.

If Qi Zhongcheng really did this, how could he hide the heads and money at home?

Then the party said that Qi Zhongcheng was ruthless and it was not enough to kill Xiao Qinyan. He even thought of a way to defeat Xiao Qinyan so that Xiao Qinyan would never be reincarnated.

They even argued that Xiao Qinyan was the leader of the Hou Dang, so how could the Hou Dang cut off his own arm?

No matter how noisy!

Xiao Qinyan's head was found in Qi Mu's home, and there was also a servant's confession. Qi Mu could not escape his involvement in any case.

In the end, he was demoted from the official position and was demoted to Leizhou as the magistrate.

You need to know that it is a city in the extreme south, a remote and miasmatic place, only slightly better than Qiongzhou.

During the Song Dynasty, officials assigned there never came back.

Uncle Guo's Mansion!

In the small hall, Zhou Cong and Liu Mei sat opposite each other, with exquisite dishes in front of them.

"Zimin, if you hadn't taken action, I'm afraid Qi Mu would still be causing trouble for the saint?"

Liu Mei took the jug, filled a cup for Zhou Cong and herself, and stood up, "I propose a toast to you on behalf of the saint, and wish you a prosperous future!"

"Thank you, Uncle Guo!"

Zhou Cong raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp, smiling similarly to Liu Mei.

The Zimin that Liu Mei mentioned was the word Zhou Cong chose for himself to avoid the inconvenience of others calling him.

"Uncle Guo, why don't you drink it? The Hedinghong in this wine is spicy and has a sweet aftertaste. It is an excellent product!"

Seeing Liu Mei still holding the wine glass, Zhou Cong sneered.

"Someone is coming!"

The Hedinghong in the wine was Liu Mei's own choice. Seeing Zhou Cong drinking the wine as if nothing had happened, the corners of Liu Mei's eyes twitched a few times and she let out a roar.

Following his voice, nearly fifty soldiers came in with swords in hand and protected Liu Mei behind them.

Among the soldiers, there was one person Zhou Cong could clearly see, it was his deputy Lei Qiande.

"Uncle Guo, wouldn't it be a waste not to drink such a good Hedinghong?"

The tension in front of him was completely ignored by Zhou Cong.

He stretched out his hand to pick up the white porcelain wine pot, and pointed a long whale at the spout.

"kill him!"

Looking at Zhou Cong's appearance, Liu Mei was confused as to why He Ding Hong had no effect.

But it did not prevent him from issuing the order to kill Zhou Cong.

With an order, a group of soldiers rushed toward Zhou Cong like tigers and wolves.
