Chapter 21: Bloody Vengeance
Zhou Chengye, sitting on the shaft of the car, was pressed against his waist with a knife handle. Although he felt a little painful, he was not very scared in his heart.
Although Zhou Chengye does not know martial arts and is single and weak, he has a brain that looks much more mature and wise than his appearance. In his eight years of military career in the last life, he has long been calm and courageous. He really doesn't care about the two thieves he suddenly encountered.
After the past two months of adaptation, Zhou Chengye was sure that his ex had not done any evil things other than rebellious, which was a bit angry with the heavens and the man was resentful, so he had no enemies. His father Zhou Ziliang had been serving as the censor for less than a year. During this period, he did not attack the official in the court. At most, he was not liked by some people, and he should not have any enemies of life and death. As for his brother Zhou Chengzhi, he had only known how to read the books of sages since he was a child, and would not provoke outsiders.
In this way, Zhou Chengye easily concluded that the kidnapping incident that just happened to him could not be a vendetta. As long as it was not an enemy coming to seek his life, everything else would be easy to say.
The carriage quickly passed through the stone bridge. Zhou Chengye gave the man who was leading the horse in front of him in a very good manner, and whispered: "The hero in front of him will soon enter the lively area. Please relax, don't be seen by others. Let's talk about anything until you enter my house!"
The man who was walking forward with his horse was shocked and thought to himself: This guy is so bold that he doesn't worry about his own safety. Instead, he reminded me not to show his strength. How did he see the nervousness in my heart?
The carriage was led by the man through the streets and alleys. Liu Shisan in the car is still unconscious. Another "robber" is sitting in the car without saying a word, while Zhou Chengye shook his head and hummed a small song with a weird tone.
"I used to love chasing my dreams,
I just want to fly forward.
Traveling all over the mountains and rivers…”
Under the hazy moonlight, the carriage slowly walked slowly, humming a little tune and carriageman leisurely. To outsiders, all this is so ordinary, but no one would doubt anything.
Not long after, the carriage arrived at the main gate of Zhou Mansion.
"Heroes, I'll call the door now. Don't talk too much at that time, nor do you do anything to the servants in my house!" Zhou Chengye jumped off the shaft of the car quickly, said in a low voice, then stepped forward and knocked on the door knocker.
A moment later, a man's voice came from the door: "But Erlang is knocking outside?"
"Axiang, it's me, please open the door." Zhou Chengye replied calmly.
With a "creak", the door was opened from the inside, and then Axiang turned his head and walked back without saying a word.
The servant Axiang of the Zhou family is of this kind. He has been following Zhou Ziliang for more than 20 years and can be half a family in the Zhou family. Although he doesn’t speak much, he is very respected by the family. If it is just about the position of supervisory censor Zhou Ziliang, a personal servant who never talks much is definitely much more suitable than those servants who have no words.
Zhou Chengye turned around and stood under the eaves of the door, shrugged, then spread his hands, and said, "Two heroes, the Zhou family has arrived, I wonder what else to give next?"
The short man who was leading the horse lowered his voice and said, "I would like to ask the young master to lead us into the mansion. I promise not to hurt every tree and every tree in the mansion, just to see the censor!"
Listening to the other party's deliberate change and looking at the other party's face that was unrecognizable, Zhou Chengye's mind was running rapidly.
"Okay, let's follow me." After Zhou Chengye said this, he lowered his body and removed the threshold on the door of the mansion that blocked the entry and exit of the carriage. This threshold is actually a baffle made of long wooden boards. If the carriage needs to be allowed to enter the mansion, he will lift it up.
The carriage slowly drove into the Zhou Mansion Courtyard, and then the gate of the Zhou family was closed from inside, so what happened in the courtyard was no longer known.
At this time, there was silence in the Zhou Mansion. Except for the sound of young people reading in a room with lights, the others seemed to have fallen asleep.
Zhou Chengye stood in the road leading to the middle hall and his father's study, and suddenly a breath of openness and dignity burst out from his body. He looked at the two people who had already got off the carriage and stood not far away, and said in a deep voice: "Two, I don't have much resentment for your hijacking and coercion on the stone bridge just now. Now you have entered my Zhou family's residence. Since you want to ask for my father, you need to show enough sincerity, otherwise how can you ask for a meeting?"
After hearing Zhou Chengye's words, the two of them actually made a "knock" sound, kneeling down to the ground without hesitation, and kowtowed heavily to Zhou Chengye.
The two of them said in unison: "Thank you, the young master, for not blaming the boys for their reckless behavior. We did not invite them today, just because we were carrying the bloody hatred of killing our father and destroying our family. I would like to ask the Censor to make the decision for us!"
After hearing the words of the two people kneeling on the ground, Zhou Chengye suddenly realized that the situation seemed to be similar to what he guessed. When he was sitting in the carriage, he was analyzing the purpose of the two people who suddenly appeared to hijack him and why he had to take them into the Zhou family's mansion. Now they heard that they wanted to meet with the censor to complain, so all of this was straightened out.
Zhou Chengye stood there and was silent for a moment, and then made the most correct choice and decision at this time. He said sincerely: "I think the two are not evil people. Now that they come up with this inferior plan to see my father, it is a last resort. However, if it is true that you have a deep hatred on your back, you will definitely involve many people, even people of great origin. As the censor, my father should naturally take it as his responsibility to supervise all officials, but he is busy with official duties every day and now he has gone to bed, but it is not easy to disturb him."
"What's more, you are forcibly entering the house in the name of coercing his son. If you meet like this at this time, it will probably cause my father to be very dissatisfied and will be bad for your affairs. If you believe me, you will follow me to the room to explain the whole story. Tomorrow morning, I will recommend the two to meet my father."
The two people who were still kneeling on the ground turned their heads to look at each other, trying to see the answer from each other's eyes.
"Dalang, just do what the young master said! We all underestimated the young master. Have you ever seen the young master really feared along the way? If he wanted to be unfavorable to us, he would have been invited to help us a long time ago. Why should we safely introduce us to the mansion?" said one of the thinner people.
The other man who was holding a horse just now felt a stern heart when he heard this. He remembered the scene when the carriage was actually being monitored after entering Yongpingfang. He felt that what his brother said was very reasonable, so he said, "Thank you, the young master for treating me so kindly, everything will be arranged by the young master."
