Chapter 1083: Killing Each Other

At Zhou's house, as soon as Xiao Qing entered the yard, he saw Zhou Shuren serving tea and fanning himself. This time he really believed what Zhou Shuren said at the palace gate. Zhou Shuren's actions of serving his wife were not fake. Every move he made was very skilled. This was a habit he had done at home!

Zhou Shuren sat down and said, "Sir, why are you here?"

Xiao Qing sat opposite Zhou Shuren and looked at Yang out of the corner of his eye. Yang was not a beauty at all, but the type that became more pleasing to the eye the more you looked at her. She looked wealthy and blessed. She was indeed blessed, as she was a lady of the second rank and was loved and respected by Zhou Shuren.

Zhou Shuren cleared his throat, "Sir?"

Xiao Qing retracted his gaze, "I do have something to talk to you about."

Zhulan also wanted to walk, but unfortunately her legs couldn't move.

Zhou Shuren didn't want his wife to leave by beating her, but it was too tiring for her to keep going back and forth.

Qingxue received a signal from her master, walked over, picked up the mistress, and carefully returned to the house.

Xiao Qing was stunned, "Your girl is really strong."

He estimated that Yang weighed more than 130 pounds, but he was able to lift her up effortlessly, and she walked very steadily.

Zhou Shuren sighed and talked about what happened at home yesterday. "Now that the snow is clear at home, I can feel more at ease."

Xiao Qing looked up at the sky. He really didn't know whether he should be jealous or sympathetic to Zhou Shuren. Zhou Shuren was surrounded by the emperor's people, and his wife was also surrounded by the emperor's people. There were quite a few emperor's people in the Zhou family. Well, he had to be careful with what he said later. He came here today and didn't plan to visit again in the future.

Seeing that there was no one in the yard, Xiao Qing said, "Regarding the human skin mask incident yesterday, the Ministry of Revenue also checked to see if anyone was wearing a mask this morning. The officials did not find any, but one of the guards was wearing a mask. The coachman identified him as the person who delivered the letter yesterday. Unfortunately, he committed suicide by taking poison."

Zhou Shuren sighed, "It's good to have one more face."

Xiao Qing smiled and said, "Why do I think that being shameless is invincible?"

Zhou Shuren, "......Sir, are you talking about me?"

Xiao Qing raised his teacup and said, "Just figure it out for yourself."

Zhou Shuren was speechless. Now the whole capital city thinks he is shameless? He curled his lips. Some people have dignity? But they wear masks? They are worse than shameless!

Prince Qi came out of the Minister of Personnel's residence and saw his two annoying brothers again. "Are you two following me today?"

Ever since the King of Qi took over the prince's ladder and showed his submission, the King of Chu has been tormented. He was unwilling to give up. He had no chance of success if he continued, as he had never taken advantage of the King of Qi. The King of Qi was frightened, and he also lost a lot of his anger.

Originally everyone was running towards the same goal, but when they reached the finish line, the crown prince was far ahead. The Prince of Qi was originally in the lead, but suddenly the Prince of Qi stopped and walked slowly. He felt like he was in vain, even though he tried his best.

The King of Chu smiled and said, "My younger brother has nothing to do when he is free. He can help me if he follows me. If you need my help, please let me know. I will never hesitate."

The King of Qi was surprised. Compared to the King of Liang, he was more afraid of the King of Chu. Those who bite don't bark. The King of Chu was much more cunning than the King of Liang. Was this a gesture of goodwill?

The King of Qi sighed, saying that they were all sons of his father, and they were all clear-headed. Unfortunately, they were born in the same era, and they felt very frustrated. "Haha, if you want to follow me, just follow me."

Prince Liang felt the most uncomfortable. He felt disgusted and wanted to vomit. It was not because the woman under the human skin mask was Wuyan Nu, but because he knew the woman under the human skin, a dancer. He had seen this dancer at Lao Wu’s house. Yes, it was Lao Wu’s house, but now she was in his house in the blink of an eye.

Liang Wang was thinking about the fifth brother, and didn't pay attention to the third brother's words. Instead, he asked, "Second brother, why is there no news from the fifth brother's house?"

The King of Qi had a feeling of knowing a lot, while his two stupid brothers were still in the dark. This feeling of superiority made him feel a little better. "I have already notified the fifth brother, but he didn't come. Maybe he didn't find out?"

Prince Liang was so gloomy that Prince Qi couldn't help but notice it. "Fourth Brother, you haven't told me whether the woman you captured in your house is a beauty?"

The King of Chu narrowed his eyes and said, "It seems that the fourth brother knows people under the skin. Tell the brothers about it."

Prince Liang's heartstrings were moved, but he still spoke, "That's right, so my brother wanted to ask about the situation in Lao Wu's mansion."

The King of Chu curled his lips and said, "Old Five is really capable. He has the talent to make human skin masks. I want to go and see him."

King Qi was very busy. "The third and fourth sons should go and have a look."

He didn't want to get involved with Lao Wu.

It was a busy day in the capital, but the next morning the emperor came to court in person, holding a book in his hand, and said, "Take a look, everyone."

The ministers of the Manchu dynasty knew that this was a volume of records by the King of Qi, and it was quite thick.

After the court session, at Zhou's residence, Prince Qi came with the book, "Sir Zhou, my father wanted you to take a look at it, so I just happened to deliver it."

Zhou Shuren was puzzled. "The account book of the Ministry of Revenue?"

He is taking a break!

The Prince of Qi shook his head and pushed the booklet to Lord Zhou, "All the ministers attending the court today have already seen it. It is not the account book of the Ministry of Revenue."

Zhou Shuren noticed that the edge of the page was slightly lifted, which showed that it had been flipped many times. He picked it up and opened the first page. "!!"

Prince Qi was looking at the front yard of the Zhou Mansion. The scenery in the yard was quite good, with many green plants. The trees were trimmed very comfortably. He looked at the ice on one side. It was really enjoyable to use the ice so early.

Prince Qi drank cool tea with a heavy heart. The weather this year was too abnormal. He was really afraid of a nationwide disaster. At times like this, the Ministry of Revenue became even more important, and Zhou Shuren, who was in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, had to be protected.

Zhou Shuren finished reading the booklet and asked, "How come so many people were arrested?"

The King of Qi tapped his teacup and asked, "My Lord, what have you seen?"

Zhou Shuren, "...saw something crazy."

It's fucking crazy. He has so many tricks up his sleeve. Over the past 30 years, he has driven someone who has always been rebellious crazy.

King Qi laughed, "Yes, that's crazy. If you don't succeed, you will be destroyed. Haha, damn it."

So he killed whoever he caught. He was fighting for the throne, but he never wanted to destroy the empire established by his father. That was why he wanted to see a better future and a prosperous era, so he completely gave up the idea. Anyone who wanted to destroy it should die.

Zhou Shuren felt regretful that the King of Qi was born in the wrong era. "Your Highness, I have already seen it."

The Prince of Qi should indeed leave, as there were still people from the Zhang family that had not been found. "I will come to have tea with Lord Zhou in the future. By the way, my grandfather has always wanted to have tea with you, but unfortunately he will not be coming to Beijing."

Zhou Shuren smiled and said, "There will be a chance."

When the King of Qi left Zhou's mansion, the guards came running over and said, "Your Highness, we found some people who died of poisoning."

King Qi pursed his lips. His intuition told him that it would be difficult for him to find anyone from the Zhang family in the capital. The dead were from the Zhang family. "Let's go and take a look."

Zhou Shuren got the news in the afternoon and brought it back with a lie, "A total of eight people died. Six died of poisoning, and two had many knife marks on their bodies and died in the fight."

Zhou Shuren sneered. If Yao Wenqi took action, the Zhang family would shut up and Yao Wenqi could continue to live. Unfortunately, Yao Wenqi didn't know that the emperor liked the current situation of infighting.
