Liu Jun's smile instantly solidified on his face. As soon as he realized, a bright steel knife was already on his neck.

"Hehe, Master Liu, you didn't expect that you would have this day, right?" Wang Yousan said with a grim smile. At the same time, the people brought by Yuan Qi had firmly controlled the servants in the hall. A little maid who was serving him was so scared that she fainted on the spot when she saw this change.

"Junchen, you..."

Liu Jun stared at Zhou Zhongliang with an incredible look. He never expected that such a thing would happen.

"Dongweng..." After all, it was the old master. Zhou Zhongliang was ashamed to do such a thing. He avoided Liu Jun's gaze, muttering to explain but couldn't explain it.

"The dogs are unrighteous, steal my China, destroy my Han clothes and the culture of the Han family! I have irreconcilable with my Han family! Now that my Daming Supervisor has ascended the throne, Mr. Zhou is my saint, and he is well-read the books of sages and wisely defending the distinction between Chinese and foreigners. He has abandoned the dark and turned to the light under the righteousness, and now he is the Grand Secretary of the Ming Dynasty." Yuan Qi explained with a smile, and then said: "Master Liu, you are also a Han Chinese, and you should understand this truth. Why do you not distinguish between Grand Secretary Zhou and join hands to join hands to carry out great achievements?"

Liu Jun was stunned by these words. He stared at Zhou Zhongliang with incredible eyes, hoping to hear a different answer from him. In his heart, if Zhou Zhongliang was coerced by a thief, then as a boss and an old friend, he might feel better, but unexpectedly, Zhou Zhongliang avoided his gaze again and stood there and lowered his head without saying a word.

"Junchen, you... have you really committed suicide by throwing a thief?"

Zhou Zhongliang had no choice but to nod, but he still did not dare to look directly at Liu Junwang's eyes.

"Junchen, you and I have received great grace from the emperor and assisted me in governing the country. How could you do such a traitor? Where did you... where did you read the books of sages for many years? Where did the words of the saints in your heart?"

The news that Zhou Zhongliang surrendered to the thief brought Liu Jun was even more unacceptable than being captured by Yuan Qi, and he could not help but scold him immediately.

With a "bang", Wang Yousan, who was impatient, who was listening on the side, slapped Liu Jun's left face with the back of the knife, making Liu Jun's eyes suddenly appear and hemorrhage from the corners of his mouth.

"You are really ungrateful, haven't you listened to my elder brother? As long as you honestly abandon the darkness and turn to the light, you can not only save your life, but also be able to be a bigger official."

"Bah!" Liu Jun spitted over with bloody saliva: "I have been in the past ten years, and the title of the golden pound is written by the emperor. Now I have been guarding the pastoral land by the emperor. Although I have no great virtue, I still have no shortage of ethics of the monarch and ministers. I have rebelled against the thief and want to use eggs to strike the stones and let the thief follow the thief? It's simply a delusion! Thieves! Thieves! When the heavenly soldiers in the court arrive, I will die without a place to bury them..."

He was spitting on his face inadvertently, and Wang Yousan was so angry that he screamed and swung his hand with a knife.

"The third brother..."

Just as Yuan Qi was about to stop him, Wang Yousan's blade had already slashed across Liu Jun's neck, and a bright red spurt was seen. Liu Jun's eyes were glaring and raised his hand to point at Yuan Qi and others. He seemed to be cursing something, but he finally shook it twice and threw it to the ground.

Seeing Liu Jun lying in a pool of blood and losing his life in vain, Zhou Zhongliang couldn't help but burst into tears.

After all, he had a friendship with Liu Jun, and he had no choice but to follow the thief, and he was sorry for Liu Jun's past use and care. Now he is taking someone to trick him into the county government, and even causing Liu Jun to lose his life. In addition, Liu Jun's scolding before his death made Zhou Zhongliang feel guilty. Looking at Liu Jun's body in the pool of blood, Zhou Zhongliang felt all kinds of feelings.

"Sir Zhou?"

Zhou Zhongliang's expression fell into Yuan Qi's eyes, and Yuan Qi snorted coldly.

"Mr., the senior official just remembered the past he had worked with County Magistrate Liu. I would like to ask the senior official to restrain his county magistrate Liu for the sake of the senior official's face?"

"Haha, the Zhou University student is a person of nature. What's wrong with this? " Yuan Qi said indifferently, but he continued: "When the major event is over, I will send someone to join Grand Secretary Zhou to restrain the Liu County Magistrate, but now..."

"The official understands, please rest assured. The official will do the affairs of Yuyao County." Zhou Zhongliang gritted his teeth and agreed,

After saying that, Zhou Zhongliang no longer looked at Liu Jun's body on the ground, turned around and walked out, and Wang Yousan and others followed Yuan Qi's eyes.

As the magistrate of Yuyao County, Zhou Zhongliang knew better than Liu Jun in the whole county, and as long as Liu Jun did not object, Zhou Zhongliang could even replace Liu Jun to some extent. It is precisely because of such convenience that he could easily take Yuan Qi and others to control the county government and easily deal with the county magistrate Liu Jun.

The most solid fortresses are often the easiest to be broken through from the inside, and this sentence is true. Now with Zhou Zhongliang, a leader, the entire Yuyao County is almost as unprepared in the eyes of Yuan Qi and others. In just over an hour, Yuan Qi received good news one after another. When the sky was almost dawn, the entire Yuyao County had completely fallen into Yuan Qi's hands.

"Brother, we're rich! We're rich!"

Wang Yousan came in from outside excitedly, but Liu Jun's body had been cleared away, and there was a faint smell of blood in the air. Yuan Qigao sat in the original position of the county magistrate in the hall, with a cup of tea on the table table, and four fully armed men guarding the hall.

"How many have you copied?" Yuan Qi asked with a teacup and gently blowing his breath.

"It's enough!" The excited Wang Yousan stretched out his palm and flipped it over, saying happily: "If other fines and softness are added, it's probably about 12,000 taels."

Ten thousand taels, this amount is very satisfactory to Yuan Qi. Yuyao is not a big county, and now it is not a day to relieve taxes. The Tibetan silver in the county, plus the wealth of Liu Jun and other officials in the county, 12,000 taels is already very good.

You should know that all the taxes in the entire Qing Dynasty are only about 24 million taels. For example, the plot of random copying in those novels can produce millions of taels of silver, which is simply nonsense. Moreover, the purchasing power of silver is very strong. In addition, the public uses of copper coins except for bulk transactions. Ten thousand taels of silver are a huge sum of money that is worthy of its pen name.

After asking about the amount of silver, Yuan Qi asked the relevant personnel and some other matters. Wang Yousan reported it one by one. When he learned that the big thing had been done and the entire Yuyao County was in his hands, Yuan Qi was very happy.

"How is Zhou Zhongliang? Where is he now?"

"Master Zhou will arrive soon. Brother, this time this old guy has really made efforts. If it weren't for him, we brothers, could we easily take over the entire Yuyao."

It was the first time that Wang Yousan, who was excited, said good things for Zhou Zhongliang. As he said, Zhou Zhongliang really made great contributions to taking Yuyao County without any effort.

"Haha, Grand Secretary Zhou is my Grand Secretary of the Ming Dynasty. I deserve this first contribution!" Yuan Qi smiled meaningfully.

"Go! Invite our Grand Secretary Zhou to me. It's dawn soon. The Anmin notice is about to be posted. Your Highness's journey must be settled as soon as possible. Calculate the time, and our Superintendent's regent is coming soon."
