Looking at Hu Jian with a vicious look on his face, Zhou Shuguang had a faint sneer on his lips and bowed slowly: "Mr. Hu, Lord Xiang, where is Zhou disrespectful, so he neglected the two of them. He killed him so fiercely, why did he come?"

Xiang Lian beat him up and said, "Head of Zhou, you and I are all wise people, why bother talking nonsense? Your term has arrived. Well, it should be said that the term of your Zhou clan has arrived. Your Zhou clan has been committed crimes for several generations and poisoned the people. Today, Your Majesty will do his best to heaven and rectify the Dharma to a certain generation of country."

"Doing evil and poisoning the people?" Zhou Shuguang's expression said: "I wonder if Mr. Xiang has any real evidence? Isn't it convincing to be empty-mouthed?"

"Really, based on the evidence? I can take out as much as my ghost shadow as Lord Zhou wants. Does the head of the Zhou family think your butt is very clean?" Xiang Lian said.

"That's right, such a big family always has different quality. It's too easy to find some problems, let alone the ghosts that are best at creating something out of nothing?" Zhou Shuguang nodded and looked at Hu Jian: "Did County Magistrate Hu not beg for the court to plead with me, Zhou? For more than a year after you took office, Zhou has been respectful and has given you 100,000 taels of white silver?"

As soon as he said this, Hu Jian's face turned pale first, then turned red, and shouted loudly: "Nothing is said, slandering, Zhou Shuguang, you are about to die and even falsely accusing the important officials of the court. It is simply unredeemable."

Zhou Shuguang laughed: "Mr. Hu, I want to eat a dry spoil and turn my back on others. You can compare with our Emperor's Majesty for breaking bridges. You took my 100,000 taels of silver, turned around and deposited it into the Wu family silver number, and exchanged it for a large pass? Hahaha, since you don't admit to receiving this money, that's simple. Zhou said, this pass would become a piece of waste paper. You can't get a single tael of silver."

Hu Jian shivered all over and pointed at Zhou Shuguang and said in a trembling voice: "Bloody mouth squirts, blood mouth squirts."

Xiang Lian was as clear as a mirror in his heart. He knew that this matter must be true. Seeing Hu Jian's embarrassing appearance, he felt a little relieved. However, at this time, he still wanted to protect the county magistrate, but he was extremely despised by him. His Majesty sent him to deal with Zhou Shuguang. He actually dared to collect black money. Not only did he collect black money, but he also let the other party understand the foundation clearly. Whose money is this? Is it Zhou Shuguang? Of course not, it is all his Majesty. Are you greedy for His Majesty's money? After this matter is over, you have to ask him carefully, saying that you must get more money from this guy for His Majesty. If you have 100,000 taels of silver, you will think about it. That's not to think about it.

"Mr. Hu, this person knows that he is not lucky, so he naturally slandered Fan at this time. Why should he take it seriously?" Xiang Lian smiled and said, "Head Zhou, you know that the general situation is like this, so why should you struggle without any effort? Not to mention the magistrate of Hu, even the prince and the chief assistant in front of you, you can't save you. It's better to be more cheerful and make us easier to get along with us. Xiang knew that the secrets hidden in this Zhou mansion were hidden in the Zhou mansion, and there were many dead soldiers who were secretly stored. However, outside the Zhou mansion, there were thousands of armored soldiers. Even in the mansion, thousands of armored soldiers had occupied the key points. Why did the leader of the Zhou family let these deaths die in vain? These are all the sons of Qi! He should have died on the battlefield where he fought for the country. If he died at the hands of his own people, it would be really worth it."

Zhou Shuguang sighed: "It's really hard for Lord Xiang to say the three words of his own. Over the past few years, the Zhou family has paid a total of 5 million taels of silver to His Majesty the Emperor. However, the imperial court has a decree. No one dared to refuse to obey. With an order, thousands of servants rushed to the Jinghu War Zone to fight, with many casualties. In Bozhou City, almost every family was filial. In this way, it was impossible to get some pity from His Majesty the Emperor. Now he wants to uproot the Zhou family, so why don't he be afraid of losing his lips and cold teeth?"

"The head of Zhou family is about the point." Xiang Lian sneered: "Bazhou is Your Majesty's Bozhou, not your Zhou family's Bozhou. Zhou's call in Bozhou is more effective than Your Majesty's imperial edict. You can easily pull out an elite soldier of thousands of people. Is this still the Bozhou of Qi? Isn't this a country in the country? Your Majesty's great talent, how can this situation exist? If the head of Zhou's family honestly listened to Your Majesty's will, how could he cause today's disaster?"

"Go to Chang'an?" Zhou Shuguang sneered: "That's really a human-made knife. I'm a fish. Your Majesty wants me to be the scapegoat for the defeat of Jinghu and Wanzhou. He wants to punish me for the wise and honest decree. Do you think I, Mr. Zhou, don't you know?"

"If you escape back to Bozhou, you can escape the punishment of national laws?" Xiang Lian laughed: "With those thousands of soldiers, can you just rely on the dead soldiers in your Zhou family mansion?"

Zhou Shuguang smiled strangely, "Sir Xiang, without those thousands of soldiers, Bozhou is still the Bozhou of Zhou. You said one thing right before. In Bozhou, my Zhou family responded to it. Since the Tang Dynasty, Zhou family has taken root in Bozhou and has never been to the forefront. Do you think it's a waste of time?"

Xiang Lian's face changed slightly, and he took a step back and stared at Zhou Shuguang, "Head of Zhou, do you still have to intimidate me at this moment?"

"So ghosts are not omnipotent!" Zhou Shuguang said with a smile.

"General Huang, immediately order to take down everyone in the Zhou mansion. The ghost shadow obeys the order and take down Zhou Shuguang." Xiang Lian reached out and held the hilt of the knife at his waist, and ordered sternly.

Several figures shook from behind Lian and rushed towards Zhou Shuguang. They were extremely agile, and they were good players among ghosts.

Zhou Shuguang laughed and took a step back. Hu Bugui, beside him, stepped forward and stopped him, and bounced his fingers slightly. In the hall, the sword energy suddenly spread. Several ghost shadows did not hum and fell from the air. At the throat, a small hole as thick as a finger came out, and blood was coming out. His body twisted on the ground a few times, and then he stopped moving.

"Zhou Shuguang, do you dare to resist arrest?" Xiang Lian shouted loudly, and choked. The sword in his hand was unsheathed. He took a step forward, and the energy condensed, trying to lock Hu Bugui in front of him.

"So what if you refuse to arrest?" Zhou Shuguang, who was behind Hu Bugui, smiled and said, "The emperor wants to uproot my Zhou family, so why don't I beg me Zhou family to jump a few times? The trapped beasts are still fighting. My Zhou family is much stronger than the trapped beasts. We are dragons on the sea, how could we be tied up?"

However, Xiang Lian could no longer concentrate on listening to what Zhou Shuguang was saying. He stared at Hu Bugui in front of him, and his forehead was instantly covered with beads of sweat.

Previously, the old guy in the housekeeper's uniform kept standing beside Zhou Shuguang without saying a word. Xiang Lian didn't feel anything abnormal about him. But at this moment, the old man stepped forward, raised his head, and raised his hand to kill several ghost masters. His powerful aura was undoubtedly exposed.

But when Xiang Lian stepped forward, the other party's powerful aura disappeared without a trace. However, Xiang Lian, a level nine master, could not determine the other party's exact position at all. The old man was standing in front of him, and in Xiang Lian's feeling, this person appeared and disappeared from time to time like a ghost.

"Master!" He exclaimed in dismay.

Among the Zhou clan, I was hidden in a grandmaster who had no control over the shape of the court. This surprised him and shocked him too much.

This left him almost in a place of death.

"Cornacea!" he yelled. He did not dare to take action because he knew very well that as long as he took action, he would be afraid that he would immediately become a dead person lying here.

But he didn't have a chance. At this moment, there were thousands of soldiers outside Zhou's house, and there were thousands of people inside. These were all subordinates of Coptis chinensis. As long as Coptis chinensis gave orders, thousands of people rushed up, even if they were the master, they could only escape immediately.

"Ying, towards, towards, towards, towards, towards, towards, towards," Coptis chinensis did not respond, but Hu Jian, who was on the side, was trembling and calling him again and again.

Xiang Lian's mind was almost completely attracted and suppressed by Hu Bugui on the opposite side. Even if he shouted this sound of Huanglian, he would rush his blood and almost unable to control himself, and he would stab the knife in his hand. He didn't notice Hu Jian's abnormality, and he was just wondering why Huanglian didn't move at all. Huanglian himself was also a level nine master. How could he not notice Hu Bugui's abnormality on the opposite side and did not immediately order the entire army to take action? Even if he stood beside him, he could still share some pressure. The two joined forces, although they could not win, they could at least save their lives and exit the lobby. As long as they retreated into the army, they would still be able to win today.

The situation he expected did not happen.

In his sight, Coptis chinensis finally appeared, but not standing beside him, but appeared beside Zhou Shuguang. The two stood side by side, looking at Xiang Lian.

"Cornacea!" Xiang Lian almost collapsed in an instant.

"Sorry, I forgot to explain to you that this person standing in front of you is Huang's mentor." Huang Lian said with a laugh.

"Dare you betray the court?" Xiang Lian said in a trembling voice.

"Boral? You can also say this to Lord Xiang, oh, I forgot to tell you another thing. The 5,000 troops in Bozhou, except for the meager salary of the imperial court, received silver from the Zhou family every month." Huang Lian said with a smile.

With a click, the sword in Xianglian's hand was actually broken by him. He could no longer control his true energy. Coptis chinensis's last words became the last straw that crushed the camel. He roared, and a mouthful of blood was spurted out, and the whole person flew backwards, intending to escape.

The sound of sword energy in the lobby was loud. Xiang Lian, who had just escaped several steps away, fell to the ground with a snap and could not move.

"Come, serve Lord Xiang and County Magistrate Hu!" Huang Lian smiled and ordered. A sound of coaxing and promise came from outside the door, and a team of soldiers came in.
