Chapter 28 Amazing accumulation!
"I am willing to change my past and join the Taiping Dao to fight against violence with all the wise men!"
"Please give me a chance!"
Zhou Ze kowtowed repeatedly and begged for mercy.
However, after a long while, he didn't get any response.
Looking up , she found out that the reason the female rebel stopped was because there was an extra person in front of her.
A person wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat!
Water ghost!
Zhou Ze quickly lowered his head, wailing madly in his heart.
One female traitor left him powerless to resist, and now another one comes?
At this time, the man in the bamboo hat spoke.
"Lord Nong Yue predicted that you were in trouble and ordered me to rescue you. Now it seems that you don't need help."
"The general flag of the Blood Robe Guard is not worth mentioning."
Sun Yourong's voice was cold and there was no hint of intimacy in it. "Where are Lou Xin and the others?"
"Lord Nong Yue ordered you to meet up at Fengyang Mansion."
The man in the bamboo hat answered, and then his eyes fell on Zhou Ze, "I already know what happened, let me deal with this person."
"good."
Sun Yourong didn't think much about it and just floated away lightly.
Soon, only the man in the bamboo hat and Zhou Ze were left nearby.
Zhou Ze shuddered all over and quickly climbed forward using his hands and feet. "Sir! I have admired the heroes of the Taiping Dao since I was a child, but I never had the chance..."
"you can go now."
The bamboo hat is humane.
"???"
Zhou Ze was stunned and couldn't believe his ears.
Walk?
Is this traitor so easy to talk to?
"Did your Excellency just say... to let me go?"
Zhou Ze asked uncertainly.
The man in the bamboo hat said nothing.
Zhou Ze struggled, and after a moment he stood up carefully and began to back away.
Never mind! Let’s go first!
"Oh, just a reminder."
The man in the bamboo hat suddenly said, "You'd better not rush into the city. Think about how to change your appearance."
"What's the meaning?"
Zhou Ze's face changed and he stopped.
"Fu Yuanlong, as the chief flag of the Blood Robe Guard, lost an important figure of the Taiping Dao because of his greed for merit and recklessness."
"And at this time, you happened to be involved with the rebels."
"No matter what the truth is, what do you think Fu Yuanlong will do?"
"!!!"
Zhou Ze was shocked and stared at the man in the bamboo hat.
no doubt.
In order to protect himself, Fu Yuanlong will definitely put the label of traitor on his head!
As for what the truth is, does it matter?
Even if he rushed back to Canglong now, he would only invite Fu Yuanlong to kill him to silence him!
In an instant.
Zhou Ze was completely desperate.
That’s more than ten years of hard work…
Even if he didn't rely on Xu Youan's dirty money, if he could hold on for another two years at most, his accumulation would be enough to break through to the ninth level of enlightenment.
By then, you won’t even have to wait for the imperial examination to be promoted to a county magistrate.
There is still hope for the rest of my life.
But now, that hope has been ruined.
Zhou Ze found it ridiculous when he thought of his lucky thought just now.
Why was the man in the bamboo hat so kind as to let him go?
Because I have no way out.
No.
It should be said that there is only one way to go.
A point of no return.
Thinking of this, Zhou Ze sighed and knelt down again.
"I am willing to join the Taiping Dao, and I beg you to take me in."
"Ah."
The man in the bamboo hat smiled and said, "The Taiping Dao is not something that people like you can join."
"!!!"
Zhou Ze looked up suddenly, "What?!"
The man in the bamboo hat is stronger than Fu Yuanlong.
Why are you talking so much nonsense to me, if not to win me over?
"I'm just curious."
The man in the bamboo hat turned around and walked away. "You betrayed the court, and you are not accepted by the Taiping Dao."
"How can I survive?"
…
East of the city.
Xu Chong brought a group of yamen runners to a house.
This is Zhou Ze’s private residence in Canglong.
It’s not big, just a small courtyard with two entrances. It is completely incomparable to Xu’s mansion and looks very clean.
"Surround this place and don't let anyone escape."
Xu Chong waved his hand.
Immediately, all the yamen runners rushed out, some surrounded the place and some broke down the door.
"Who is it? You are so brave, aren't you afraid of losing your head?"
The gatekeeper cursed as he opened the gate. Seeing that it was someone from the government office, he calmed down a little: "Did my master ask you to come? Tell me what's the matter."
"On the orders of Lord Xu, search and confiscate Zhou's residence!"
The bailiff who was knocking on the door grinned.
"Seal it off?"
The concierge immediately became angry, "How dare you! Do you know whose house this is?"
Snapped!
The yamen runner slapped the doorman in the face, causing him to spin three times.
Now, they don’t dare to bully the common people, but do they dare not attack the families of the traitors?
At this time, a woman came out, looking lazy and arrogant.
It was Zhou Ze’s only daughter, Zhou Qiunan.
"What's all the noise?"
"Miss!"
When the doorman saw the person coming, he got up from the ground, covered his face and shouted: "These people said they want to seal off this place, Miss, you must tell the master..."
"Seal it off?"
Zhou Qiunan frowned and looked at the bailiff with disgust. "My father, Zhou Ze, is your chief clerk. Now, kneel down and crawl out."
“Good fellow…”
The bailiff laughed angrily and was about to say something when Xu Chong's voice rang out from behind him.
"Step aside."
The bailiff was startled and quickly turned sideways.
Xu Chong stepped in and looked at Zhou Qiunan calmly: "Your father Zhou Ze has been confirmed to be a traitor of the Taiping Dao. I am ordered by Lord Fu Yuanlong, the general flag of the Blood Robe Guard, to search and confiscate the Zhou family!"
"Impossible! You're lying!"
Zhou Qiunan screamed, her voice piercing, "Where's my father? I want to see my father!"
"Do it."
Xu Chong was too lazy to talk to her, so he immediately gave an order, "Take back everything that can be moved, whether it's people or things."
"yes!"
The yamen runners entered one after another.
Seeing so many people in black uniforms, Zhou Qiunan finally realized that things were getting serious.
Unfortunately, she had no right to choose and could only be dragged away crying and shouting.
The house search began.
It has to be said that the yamen runners were very skilled in carrying out this kind of task.
It only took half an hour to turn the entire house upside down.
And until the end, they discovered that Zhou Ze was so rich!
There was not a single piece of antique calligraphy and paintings, precious treasures or rare toys left, and even the gold and silver was only a few hundred taels.
However, the Daqing banknotes found in Zhou Qiunan’s pillow core amounted to a whopping 80,000 taels!
"I just can't believe it..."
Zhao Liu's tongue was tied. "How much is his annual salary? He must have worked for hundreds of years to earn that much, right?"
"How could this happen... Zhou Ze didn't seem to have done anything, how could he have gotten so many possessions..."
"I don't understand..."
Everyone was whispering.
"This is not something you should worry about."
Xu Chong ordered in a deep voice, "Seal all the boxes and take them away."
As soon as he finished speaking, the eyes of the yamen runners dimmed.
Even Zhao Liu looked a little disappointed.
It’s not their fault. If following Xu Chongruo doesn’t bring any benefits even when their property is confiscated, then what will they do in the future?
"Okay, who are you showing this to?"
Xu Chong scalped Zhao Liu in anger and said, "How dare you think of the rebels' money? Aren't you afraid of losing your head? I'll let the household department know when I get back, and each of you can get half a tael."
"Um?"
Everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.
Half a tael is not much, but it is far less than the 10% that is required under the unspoken rule of house confiscation and divided equally.
But this is clean money, and I feel at ease holding it.
Suddenly, everyone was excited, and the last bit of loss and dissatisfaction disappeared.
Sure enough, it was right to follow Lord Xu.
