At the same time, in the Zhou family's mansion, the Zhou brothers also met once and began to discuss the current situation.

Zhou Shaoliang said worriedly: "Brother's situation is not good now. Zhao Kuo has already launched an impeachment of us to his subordinates, and all the public opinion outside is criticizing us."

Zhou Shaoliang really didn't expect that in his opinion, the decision that just to let his illegitimate son vent his depression had become such a big deal.

Zhou Shaofen also looked at his brother speechlessly. At this moment, he wanted to kick this uneasy brother into the stinky ditch. It was so scammed.

Zhou Shao snorted and said coldly: "There is even worse news now. I have already sent someone to protect your son, but today the king suddenly asked the eunuch to send someone to the Handan Government Office to name a question to interrogate your son.

Now your son has fallen into the hands of the Eunuch Ling. As for whether he will confess, it depends entirely on the Eunuch Ling’s meaning.”

After hearing Zhou Shaofen's words, Zhou Shaoliang was completely panicked and hurriedly said, "Then we have to go and find the eunuch order to see if he can help us to adapt in this matter."

Zhou Shaofen glared at Zhou Shaoliang fiercely and said, "Do you think the eunuch is an idiot?"

This matter was asked by a big outlet to do. If he dared to make a son at this time, then he would not continue to hang out in the palace.

Besides, based on the conflict between us and the eunuch Ling in that matter, do you really think that if we go to him, he can help us?"

When Zhou Shaoliang heard this, he had nothing to say.

You should know that in the previous incident when Queen Zhou targeted Queen Li, the Zhou brothers directly detained the relatives of Zhengzheling, hoping to force Zhengzheling to submit.

The current situation is that if the Eunuch Ling can remain neutral, then the Zhou brothers should have to burn incense. As for whether the Eunuch Ling can turn to the Zhou brothers, at least for now, it is impossible.

After thinking about this clearly, Zhou Shaoliang suddenly became a little desperate.

"Does my poor child really have no hope?"

Zhou Shaofen was also very headache and looked at Zhou Shaoliang coldly: "Don't worry about whether your child has hope or not. Now you have to care about yourself. Think about whether you have hope in the future. You have to know that the woman in the palace will never miss this opportunity."

Of course the woman in the palace was Queen Li.

After hearing Zhou Shaofen's words, Zhou Shaoliang's face turned completely pale, and he seemed to be limp on the ground at any time.

He wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything.

Perhaps this is what is called the so-called joys and sorrows.

King Zhao's decision came faster than everyone thought. On the morning of the second day, King Zhao summoned all the important officials to the palace hall of Zhao State and officially began to discuss this matter.

King Zhao sat at the top, looked around all the important officials of Zhao State in front of him, and said lightly: "I come to you today, and I believe everyone knows what's going on, it's about the second son of the Zhou family.

Originally, a mere illegitimate child didn't need me to convene a court discussion at all.

But since the matter has already involved Pingkangfang, we should do it fairly and openly. There should be no problem for everyone, right?"

After King Zhao finished speaking, everyone nodded in agreement.

Seeing that no one had any objections, King Zhao turned his head to the Eunuch Ling and said to the Eunuch Ling: "Eunuch Ling, please tell everyone about the interrogation of the Handan Government Office."

After hearing the words of King Zhao, the eunuch Ling immediately took out a report that should be from the official government of Handan and started reading it.

The content of this report is quite long. It took almost 20 minutes to finish reading. But in summary, all the arrested guys have confessed, admitting that they belong to the Zhou Chamber of Commerce, and confessing to everything the Zhou Chamber of Commerce had done in Pingkangfang before.

To put it bluntly, since the second son of the Zhu family was an illegitimate son, Zhou Shaofen was also surrounded by some entourages with relatively low status in the Zhou family.

These low-ranking sermons themselves are just making a living and have no loyalty to the Zhou family. Therefore, once they are caught among the big bosses, they do not even need to act. As long as they are slightly intimidated, they will all be recruited.

Of course, King Zhao had known this in advance, but after hearing the patient's practice, his face was still ugly. He stared at Mr. Zhou Er's father coldly. Zhou Shaoliang said, "Zhou Shaoliang, it seems that you have given birth to a good son. You are so rich. In the future, your Zhou family is probably going to get rich."

This sentence seems to be a compliment, but the mockery in it can be noticed by no fool.

Zhou Shaoliang's expression changed suddenly, and he hurriedly explained to King Zhao in fear and fear: "The king misunderstood. The old minister really didn't know that this rebellious son had done such a thing.

The old minister actually just wanted him to go to Pingkangfang to experience it and see what the reforms presided over by the king looked like so that he could find ways to keep up with the king's far-sighted footsteps in the future.

But the old minister never expected that this rebellious son was bewitched by some thieves around him and eventually did such a wrong thing.

Please rest assured, the old minister has sent someone to find the owners of the original houses in the bungalow houses, and then return all the houses to them."

This is also the best way the Zhou brothers thought they could take after thinking about it.

Returning all the houses to the original owner at least seems to have admitted their mistakes sincerely.

Sure enough, after hearing Zhou Shaoliang's words, King Zhao's expression suddenly calmed down a little.

But of course, Zhao Kuo could not let this matter pass in peace. In that case, wouldn’t all the news that Zhao Kuo made would become useless?

So Zhao Kuo also spoke slowly: "I have already inquired about this matter. Among the people who were stolen from the house, more than 20 people have died of starvation due to displacement.

There are still a large number of people who were forced to leave Handan and return to their hometown, but they are unable to contact them now.

So to put it bluntly, you don’t know whether your so-called compensation measures can be returned to the original owner. This sincerity is too ridiculous, right?”

For Zhao Kuo, since he had already planned to attack the Zhou brothers, it was impossible to make unprepared battles. The efficiency of the Nightingale system was fully reflected at this time. Through the Nightingale system, which spread throughout Handan and various parts of Zhao, Zhao Kuo quickly learned what kind of living conditions the original owners who could be stolen from the house were.

However, Zhao Kuo did not say anything, that is, Zhao Kuo had actually made people secretly gather the original owners they could find together to take care of them, so that they could also be convenient for them to return to Handan together and live a new life in the future.

After hearing Zhao Kuo's doubts, Zhou Shaoliang's face changed again. He looked at Zhao Kuo viciously, wishing he could cut Zhao Kuo into pieces.

Zhao Kuo looked directly at Zhou Shaoliang with a very calm expression. This wave of Zhao Kuo can be said to be true at all.

After all, Zhou Shaoliang did the matter, and Zhao Kuo was not wrong at all. He was just asking for his fate. What kind of guilty Zhao Kuo had?

Zhao Kuo can be said to have no scruples in this matter, just as long as he charges without any brains. On the contrary, because the Zhou family has done something wrong, it is said that they can only fight back without any counterattack power.

So after hearing Zhao Kuo’s doubts, Zhou Shaofen immediately spoke: “For the original owners of the house who died in an accident, our Zhou family can make compensation, and the house will still be returned to their relatives.

As for the other original owners who have been displaced and living in difficulties due to the house they lost during this period, we can also make compensation, which will definitely satisfy them."

Zhou Shaofen was helpless. This time the compensation involved hundreds of families. Considering that Zhao Kuo was staring at him, he would have to pay a considerable price.

But this thing must be done, because if you really don’t do it, it is absolutely impossible for King Zhao to pass.

Sure enough, after hearing Zhou Shaofen's explanation, King Zhao's face became much gentler again.

For King Zhao, he himself was not very concerned about the people in Pingkangfang. To put it bluntly, these people were the same in King Zhao's eyes as in Zhou Shaofen's eyes, and they were completely insignificant.

The King of Zhao was only really angry because the Zhou family was just digging for the King of Zhao and secretly stealing the taxes that King of Zhao should have obtained.

Now that the Zhou family is willing to withdraw all the houses, this kind of poaching behavior will no longer exist.

Of course, King Zhao could not say that he could just let the Zhou family pass the test so simply. He spoke coldly: "All compensations must be three times higher than the original price of your Zhou family, otherwise you will know the consequences."

For King Zhao, since he wanted to provoke King Zhao's majesty, he would inevitably have to have a heavy bleeding, otherwise how could he be forgiven by King Zhao?

After hearing the order from King Zhao, the Zhou brothers' faces were extremely exciting.

You should know that in order to ask King Zhao for forgiveness, the Zhou brothers had actually set a very high compensation price, which was equivalent to cutting off their losses.

Now that King Zhao opened his mouth and raised the price three times, it was no longer a cut of flesh, but a real injury.

But even so, the Zhou brothers had no choice but to grit their teeth and agreed.

The situation is stronger than that of others. I will pass this level first and then talk about it. I can continue to earn money and other things in the future.

Zhao Kuo looked at this scene calmly, and then continued to speak: "King, of course there is no problem with compensation, but those evil people who forced us, Zhao Guoliangmin, to leave their homes, must be severely punished by law.

Especially the second son of the Zhou family, as a weekly market, he will be in Pingkangfang. The real person in charge directly displaced thousands of people, resulting in the death of dozens of people. If it is not strictly prevented, it will inevitably make people doubt that the credibility of our Zhao government will cause a huge blow to the reputation of our official service among the people. Therefore, we must severely punish the second son of the Zhou family."

Zhao Kuo also brought the whole matter to the process of the national justice of the Zhao State in one go, which made it difficult for the Zhou brothers to defend Zhou Er's resignation.

Sure enough, after hearing what Zhao Kuo said, Zhou Shaoliang's expression changed immediately. He wanted to force Master Zhou Er to death.

Zhou Shaoliang immediately spoke, "Wu Xinjun, what you said is wrong. My son was just bewitched by those people. It is not the real main culprit. If I were to execute those who bewitched my son, I had no objection at all, but my son shouldn't be executed.

Please spare my son once.”

At the end of the day, Zhou Shaoliang had a begging expression on his face. Of course, this begging was asking King Zhao, not begging Zhao Kuo.

It doesn’t matter to Zhao Kuo. This time, Zhao Kuo really wants Mr. Zhou to die.

This is not because of the personal grudge between Zhao Kuo and the Zhou clan. In fact, Zhao Kuo had already let Yu Xin's family go and Lin Xiangru's family before.

The reason why Zhao Kuo insisted on executing Mr. Zhou Tui was very simple, because Mr. Zhou Tui killed so many people.

Zhao Kuo looked at Zhou Shaoliang's expression and sneered in his heart.

If you used the life of your illegitimate child to repay more than 20 lives, it was all your Zhou family who made a big profit. What else are you not satisfied with?

So Zhao Kuo continued to speak: "Your Majesty, please tell me that the second son of the Zhou family must be executed this time."

This is not for political struggle, but for the word "fairness"! In the hall, other Zhao Kuo's allies also agreed.

King Zhao should also make a decision.

As the young Zhao Guojun, he looked at everyone present, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke.

"I really think what Wu Xinjun said is right. If you pass the order, you will pull all the second son of the Zhou family and his accomplices to the gate of Pingkangfang tomorrow and behead me!"
