Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the door, he saw Manager Wu and two strong servants walking towards him.

When Wu Zhangshi saw him, he raised his voice and said, "Oh, he's not dead yet."

Ever since Wanjuan Tower was taken over by the Zhou family again, he was put to use again and became the person in charge of miscellaneous chores, and his chin was raised again.

"Fuck you, Toad Spirit, if you keep acting so wickedly, I'll give you a fist."

Wu's face darkened, "As expected, there are few good people with the surname Xu!"

Xu Si raised his fist and grinned, "This is the good stuff, do you want to try it?"

Even if he was bitten by a dog and his hands and feet were broken, he could still beat this toad spirit until he cried for his parents.

Manager Wu winked at the servants, and two servants stepped forward to restrain Xu Si, one of them punching him in the stomach.

Xu Si was beaten so hard that he bent over and couldn't speak for a long time.

"You dare to show off your power to me? Don't you know your own weight?" The beating of the Xu family made Wu the headmaster extremely happy. Then he arrogantly ordered the servants, "Take him to see the boss."

Two servants carried Xu Si upstairs. Xu Si's wound was pulled and he was sweating all over his face due to the pain.

This is really like a tiger in plain land being bullied by a dog!

After a while, Xu Si was brought in front of Zhou Huai and fell to the ground like mud.

The former Minister of Revenue still had some influence, and the servants in the entire hall, including Zhou Huai and Zhou Chengwen's nephews and nephews, did not dare to speak loudly.

Xu Si covered his stomach and didn't dare to act rashly, waiting for the person sitting in the seat to speak.

"Are you Xu Si?"

"yes."

"What is your relationship with Feng Miao?"

Feng Miao? Xu Si was confused. Why were they asking about this bastard?

"There is no connection. I just met him by chance. Later, because we were both being pursued by the government, I ended up entering Qingque Garden with him by chance and took refuge with the owner."

"Why are you being hunted?"

"Because I offended my ungrateful cousin, she reported me to the authorities, so I am wanted." When Xu Si mentioned Xu Jiang, his face was full of disgust.

It was all because of this bastard that he ended up in this situation. He would not let her go!

Zhou Huai came closer and whispered, "His cousin is Xu Jiang from Zhanchun Bookstore."

Zhou Huai nodded, then asked, "When you were with Feng Miao, did he do anything suspicious? For example, did he associate with officials?"

"That's not the case." Xu Si shook his head, then hurriedly asked, "Did he commit a crime? Boss, his crime has nothing to do with me. He was the one who pestered me to share my money. I don't have much friendship with him. On the contrary, we are incompatible and have fought several times."

Zhou Huai asked, "What money does he want? Explain clearly."

Xu Si then told Zhou Huai how he met Feng Miao, how they conspired to make money, and how they came to Qingque Garden.

Finally, he asked, "Boss, what exactly did Feng Miao do wrong? Why are you asking about him?"

Zhou Wencheng on the side said: "He's dead."

Xu Si almost jumped up in shock. "Dead? When? Why did he die out of the blue?"

"He was stabbed in the neck in Qingque Garden. They said he was colluding with the government and betraying the owner of the garden."

Colluding with the government? Xu Si was stunned. "That's impossible. Aren't the government trying to catch him? Aside from the past two days, I've been with him the whole time. He's like a mouse seeing a cat when he sees the officials. He can't even hide. How can he collude with them?"

"Are you sure?" Zhou Huai's eyes were sharp. "If you dare to lie to me, you won't be able to leave Wanjuan Tower with these two legs."

Xu Siyi shrank his neck and hurriedly bowed, saying, "Even if you give me a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare to lie."

"In that case, tomorrow morning you will go with me to Qingque Garden to confront Zhao Xiu."

"yes."

The city gates are now closed, and Zhou Huai is no longer an official, so he has to follow the rules of the people. He can only leave the city after the city gates open tomorrow.

Having enjoyed privileges for half a lifetime, they were now deprived of them in one day, which made the Zhou family, who were used to being domineering, restricted in every way.

Not only were they restricted, but the Zhou family's status in the capital also plummeted.

When Zhou Huai was still working in the court, even Prince Ying had to give the Zhou family some face. Now, not only does he not take the Zhou family seriously at all, he even allows Zhao Xiu to climb over their heads and act tyrannically.

It was not until Zhou Huai regained control of the Wanjuan Tower that he found out that Zhao Xiu had been involved in the trouble at the Book Appraisal Association. He had secretly passed the accounts to Ban Doushan, ruined Ji Sheng's reputation, dragged him into trouble, and caused him to be dismissed from his post.

When he first chose Zhao Xiu, he felt that this man was disrespectful. Even though his minions had been removed in the past two years, there was no guarantee that he would not hold a grudge and wait for an opportunity to take revenge.

The reason why the cheating case was overturned and re-investigated was because his good teacher went back on his word. Now he wants to use Feng Miao to shake his position in front of King Ying. I don’t know what his intention is.

If I had known earlier, I should have used a knife to get rid of this scourge when the court was wanted for him!

At dawn the next day, Xu Si was stuffed into a box and taken to Qingque Garden by Zhou Huai.

In front of Prince Ying and Zhou Huai, Xu Si confessed all his whereabouts since meeting Feng Miao, and proved that Feng Miao had no contact with anyone from the government. And on the day that Zhao Xiu said Feng Miao met with Lou Yunchun, Feng Miao was with him the whole day.

Upon hearing this, Prince Ying's expression changed, and he hurriedly sent people to chase Zhao Xiu.

Only then did Zhou Huai realize that Zhao Xiu had already left.

He hurriedly had Xu Si taken away, and after asking Ying Wang about the whole story, he kept saying that something was not good.

"This Zhao Xiu might be the traitor!" Zhou Huai said with a heavy expression, "He left last night, and you're just now sending people after him. I'm afraid we won't be able to catch him."

Prince Ying didn't want to lose his composure in front of Zhou Huai, but the anger of being deceived and fooled was too great to quell, so he couldn't help but kick over the chairs in front of him.

Zhou Huai hurriedly advised: "Your Majesty, please calm down."
