When things got to this point, the master and servant had no intention of continuing to deny it, so they rushed to explain it.

The whole thing is indeed the same as Zhao Kuo thought. Like all other top-level powerful people, Zhou's family has many industries in the east and west markets of Handan City.

After Pingkangfang was developed, the high-end industries in the west city were not affected, but the Zhou family's industries in the east city were stolen and suffered heavy losses.

If it is based on normal logic, then Zhou must find a way to suppress Pingkangfang and let Pingkangfang go bankrupt directly, and return to the previous poor and deserted state.

But the problem is that Pingkangfang is a "pilot reform area" directly determined by King Zhao and Zhao Kuo. Giving Zhou brothers ten courage, they can't openly suppress Pingkangfang. Isn't this arbitrary death?

So, the Zhou family changed their thinking.

Since you can't suppress it, then join.

The Zhou family quickly used money to buy many houses converted into shops in Pingkangfang. As they were collected, the Zhou family felt that Pingkangfang was full of ordinary people. Why should we use a large amount of money to buy their houses in a regular manner and use power to force them to hand over the house?

So things immediately changed. You should know that Zhou Shaofen, the boss of the Zhou family, is Si Kou, who is the eldest brother of the Zhao legal system. As long as anyone is disobedient, he will be arrested in prison and convicted you in one sentence.

When several of the first families were arrested and imprisoned, the remaining Pingkangfang people could only hand over the house under the pressure of Zhou and left Pingkangfang.

When Zhao Kuo heard this, he asked the next question calmly: "Where are these ordinary people who left Pingkangfang?"

Mr. Zhou Tuesday touched his head with a confused look on his face.

Manager Zhou thought about it and said carefully: "I really don't know this, because Zhou's side... actually doesn't care."

Zhao Kuo nodded slowly and said, "So, where are the transaction contracts for all the shops in Pingkangfang?"

Manager Zhou was a little hesitant.

Zhao Kuo glanced at Su Li and said, "Take it."

Su Li had long been unable to hold back and stepped on Manager Zhou's arm.

Manager Zhou suddenly let out a scream like a pig slaughtering.

Zhao Kuo looked at Manager Zhou without any sympathy.

This damn thing has caused so many people in Pingkangfang to lose the only house that they can live in. It is simply a waste of death. What is the point of suffering a little?

Zhao Kuo said lightly: "Don't think anyone can save you. I am sitting here today. As long as I am not agreeing, it will be useless even if the king comes!"

At this moment, Zhao Kuo could be said to be very domineering! Su Li slapped Manager Zhou in the face again and said sternly: "Why don't you say it quickly. If you don't say it, you will remove all your hands and feet!"

Manager Zhou suddenly came to his senses and knew that it was impossible to pass the test if he didn't explain what he said today. He could only endure the severe pain and said, "It's in my room, I, I'll take you here to get it."

A moment later, a thick account book was placed in front of Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo looked through the account book, and the more he looked, the more angry he became.

There are 345 shops, which is the total number of shops that Zhou has collected in Pingkangfang in total.

In other words, there were 345 families in Pingkangfang who were forced to move out of their only house by Zhou. I don’t know if they were displaced in Handan City or the place in Zhao State! Zhao Kuo let out a long sigh, closed the account book, and said lightly: “Take all the people here, let Handan Order give me a good question immediately to see how many fish that have missed the net!”

If it were before, Zhao Kuo might not have had a chance to take action, but now the entire evidence is very perfect. The expansion of the Zhou Chamber of Commerce is definitely contrary to the laws of Zhao, so Zhao Kuo can act with confidence and let Handan order the other side to interrogate these people.

The only thing that made Zhao Kuo a little regretful was that since the current Si Kou official position is controlled by Zhou Shaofen, it still has some difficulties in punishing them.

After seeing this scene, Wu Fei was very excited and said to Zhao Kuo: "Thank you Wu Xinjun. With Wu Xinjun, you have the opportunity to come back here, our neighbors in Pingkangfang finally have the chance to return here."

Zhao Kuo smiled slightly, patted Wu Fei on the shoulder and said, "You must remember that I am different from other Zhao officials. I will always stand with the people of our Zhao State."

Wu Fei nodded vigorously and said to Zhao Kuo very seriously: "What Wu Xinjun taught is that the young one remembers it."

After a while, Zhao Kuo walked out of the room and looked back at the magnificent Zhou Chamber of Commerce building, which was incompatible with the surrounding buildings.

"People's fat and folk cream!"

These four big words suddenly appeared in Zhao Kuo's mind, which immediately made his dissatisfaction with this building go to a higher level.

After thinking about it, Zhao Kuo would just hold back and burn the building to clean it up. After all, the money that the building should cost has been spent. Instead of letting the building be scrapped, it is better to use it to do something more beneficial to the people in the future.

Zhao Qian appeared in front of Zhao Kuo panting. Seeing that the matter was over, he immediately showed a disappointed expression on his face.

Zhao Kuo smiled and patted Zhao Qian on the shoulder and said, "If you really want to serve the people, you can do it as soon as possible next time."

Zhao Qian sighed and followed Zhao Kuo onto the carriage helplessly.

After returning to the mansion, Zhao Kuo immediately summoned all his confidants and political allies to tell them about this.

After hearing this, everyone's reactions were different.

Xu Li thought about it and said, "This matter is indeed a good opportunity to effectively attack the Zhou family's forces, but Zhou Shaofen is now Siko, so it may be a bit difficult to do something about this."

Si Kou is equivalent to the Supreme Justice of the Later generations. It must be a difficult thing to make Zhou Shaofen, the Supreme Justice, convict his nephew.

Zhao Kuo was quite calm about this and said with a smile: "What's the point? It's okay if everyone else is just him. Can't I fight him even if I can't?

I'll just say it. I summoned you today to let you cooperate with me well. Tomorrow morning, everyone will give me a memorial to the king, impeach Zhou Shaofen to indulge his family's children to act violently, and make the people in Pingkangfang live in poverty, and want to hinder the king's reform of Pingkangfang."

Zhao Kuo is now a veteran in political struggle. Of course, he would not directly give Zhou Shaofen the chance to evade Prince Zhou Tuesday with the crime of being guilty of Prince Zhou Tuesday.

As the saying goes, hitting a snake means hitting a seven-inch. Zhao Kuo’s goal is to directly pull all the Zhou family into the water, and they are burdened with a crime of obstructing the reform of Pingkangfang.

In this case, Pingkangfang was the reform site that King Zhao personally decided. Zhou's family dared to make small moves here, which obviously violated King Zhao's will.

From this, the war can be directly burned from the young master Zhou Er to the two brothers Zhou Shaofen and Zhou Shaoliang. This is the result Zhao Kuo wants to see.

Unlike the previous political struggles, both sides were prepared for the previous struggles and then suddenly launched an attack on the other side. However, this time, Zhao Kuo met by chance, so he accidentally launched an attack.

This was an absolute encounter, but Zhao Kuo believed that this wave of him was still very stable.

With a bang, Zhao Kuo's fist hit the table and said viciously: "These officials and nobles have obviously already had power and wealth, but they still have to collect money from the common people. Is this fair?

I hope you remember that there can be wealth and honor, but it should be plundered from other countries through military achievements, rather than just plundering your own people.

If anyone can only plunder the common people when doing things, then I will definitely let him know what the real mistake is!"

Zhao Kuo's words were loud and echoed in the room for a long time.

News of the arrest of the young master on Tuesday was soon passed back to Zhou's mansion.

When he heard the news, the Zhou brothers were drinking.

Zhou Shaoliang raised his wine glass and said to Zhou Shaofen with a smile: "Brother, I just heard that Li Mu had removed the two generals under Zhao Kuo from his post, and he had a big fight with Xu Li in the general's residence."

Zhou Shaofen also had a smile on his lips and said, "Although Xu Li has the support of the prime minister Wu Xinjun, Li Mu's supporter is the king. In addition, the position of Li Mu is higher than Xu Li, how could Xu Li compete for Li Mu?"

After saying that, the two of them laughed at the same time.

For these two people, they really like to hear these news that can make Zhao Kuo defeated, which is very comfortable and very comfortable.

Zhou Shao said leisurely: "Now Li Mu's sudden betrayal can be said to have caused Wu Xinjun's power to collapse in the military like an avalanche.

When we send troops next year, we two brothers must support Li Mu so that Li Mu can gain the main general and make another military achievements.

By that time, Li Mu would be able to truly suppress Wu Xinjun's power in the army.

As long as Wu Xinjun has no support from the army, hehe, it will be much easier for us to deal with him than before!”

Zhou Shaoliang also smiled and said, "Yes, yes, every time I see that Zhao Kuo Yao and his power are very annoying, just to let him learn a lesson.

As the saying goes, flowers do not have a hundred days of red.

It's time for him to be in full swing!"

At this moment, a retainer from the Zhou family rushed in without a look on his face: "Two lords, things are not going well, the second young master was captured by Wu Xinjun!"

This news directly shocked the Zhou brothers' bodies at the same time.

Zhou Shaofen couldn't help but say, "Which second young master?"

The retainer looked at Zhou Shaoliang and said, "It's the second young master in Pingkangfang!"

Zhou Shaoliang's face changed drastically.

This second young master was Zhou Shaoliang who used to go to a brothel in Handan and then wrapped a dancer down. As a result, he became pregnant and had this illegitimate child.

Since Zhou Shaoliang's wife is a tigress type, Zhou Shaoliang did not dare to take the dancer and the child home, so he had to quietly settle it outside.

This placement lasted for twenty years. It was not until Zhou Shaoliang's wife died of illness last year that Zhou Shaoliang brought the second son back to Zhou.

However, since he had never received formal training for twenty years, and the illegitimate son had no inheritance rights, Zhou Shaoliang thought about it and simply asked the second son to go to Pingkangfang to preside over the development of the Zhou family industry. This proposal was also recognized by Zhou Shaofen.

Zhou Shaoliang never expected that why was Zhao Kuo arrested?

Zhou Shaoliangteng stood up and said angrily: "This Zhao Kuo is really too much. Even my child is caught?

Brother, we must seek justice today!”

Zhou Shaoliang, who was eager to save his son, was obviously much calmer and said, "Second brother, don't be impatient."

We don’t know why the child was caught. What’s the use of this hasty trouble with Zhao Kuo?”

After saying that, Zhou Shaofen turned his head and looked at the retainer who reported the news: "You, tell me, how did the second young master be captured?"

The retainer also spread his hands and said, "I don't know this. It was the Handan Order who sent someone to inform him, saying that Wu Xinjun sent someone to hand over dozens of people from the Zhou Chamber of Commerce in Pingkangfang to the Handan Government Office, saying that the second young master and others were suspected of plundering people's wealth and omitting people's houses, and let Handan Order interrogate them!"

After hearing this, Zhou Shaofen frowned and said, "Search for the people's wealth and ointment?

Second brother, what's going on?"

For Zhou Shaofen, he actually didn't pay much attention to these business matters.

Because he still had the same old mindset, he thought that the merchant was a inferior person and just let an illegitimate child do it. The direct descendants of Zhou's family must not be involved. The head of his family was too lazy to pay attention to it. He just needed to check the account book every year.

Zhou Shaoliang's face also changed, and he began to become a little hesitant and hesitate and unable to speak.

Zhou Shaofen really didn’t know these things, but as the second young master’s father, Zhou Shaoliang was very concerned about this illegitimate son. How could he not know what good things the second young master did?

But Zhou Shaoliang thought before, he was just a few people's houses, and he would rob them if he robs them. Could it be that these people can still make a big splash?

He never expected that Zhao Kuo would find this matter even! Zhou Shaofen immediately noticed something was wrong and said sternly: "What's going on? It's time to tell the truth!"

Zhou Shaoliang had no choice but to say, "Brother, this is the thing, my child..." Zhou Shaoliang told the second young master truthfully, and of course he tried to beautify it as much as possible.

After listening to it, Zhou Shaofen couldn't help but slam the table.

"You stupid son, you really kill someone!"
