Chapter 943: Zhou joins the army

"Next week, Wei is currently serving as the military officer of Bingzhou Sihu. I wonder what my brother is called?" The middle-aged man heard Li Xiu's inquiry and immediately reported his name. He also saw that Li Xiu was very dignified and should be a member of the officialdom like him, so he specifically pointed out his position.

"Bingzhou? Brother Zhou actually came from Bingzhou?" Li Xiu couldn't help but lit up when he heard the other party's identity. Then he shouted with joy. He was worried that he would not be able to find out about the situation on Wu Mingkong, but he did not expect to meet an official from Bingzhou here. Although the position of Sihu to join the army was not very high, it was a real position and he should be able to get in touch with the news about the Wu family.

"What? Brother Tai has also been to Bingzhou?" Seeing Li Xiu's happy look, Zhou Shenjun couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"No, it's just that someone I know returned to Bingzhou last year, but there has been no news. I am a little worried, so I want to ask Zhou Zhanjun, you can ask!" Li Xiu said with a smile.

"Oh? I wonder who I want to ask about my brother?" Zhou Shenjun forgot to ask about Li Xiu's identity when he heard this. He asked curiously, but he was also surprised in his heart. After all, although the population of Bingzhou is not as small as Chang'an, it is not small. He only knows a few people. I'm afraid he has never heard of the other party inquired about it.

"Zhou Zhanjun should know the Wu family of Yingguo. I have a relationship with Duke Yingguo. Last year he died and returned to Bingzhou for burial. I was also very worried. I don't know what the situation of the Wu family is now?" Li Xiu immediately inquired that the Wu Shihu was definitely a celebrity in Bingzhou. Moreover, after the Wu brothers went to Bingzhou, they did so many evil things. It is impossible for Zhou Zhanjun in front of him to have heard of it.

Sure enough, when he heard Li Xiu inquiring about the Wu family, Zhou Wei immediately showed a solemn expression on his face, especially when he heard that Li Xiu had an old age with Wu Shi Tang, he was even more shocked. You must know that Wu Shi Tang is a noble Duke, and the person who can have friendship with him must be an ordinary person, which made him even more respectful to Li Xiu.

Of course, Zhou Shenjun thought about it for a while, and then he answered carefully: "Last year, after Duke Ying's coffin was transported to Bingzhou, it was buried in the Wu family's ancestral tomb. I also attended the funeral, and it was really crowded at that time..."

"Don't talk about the funeral. I've found out all this clearly. However, I heard that after the Yingguo Gong was buried, the Wu family lived in Bingzhou and never came back. However, I had promised Yingguo Gong that he would take care of his wife and children. They should have returned to Chang'an, but why did they never come back?" Before Zhou Shenjun finished speaking, Li Xiu interrupted him and asked.

When Zhou Shenjun heard Li Xiu's words, he was even more shocked. He dared to say that the person who took care of Duke Ying's wife and children was definitely not inferior to Duke Ying's wife and children. This made him feel a little restrained. Who would have thought that he would meet such a big man just taking his wife to see a doctor?

Thinking of the above, Zhou Shenjun was even more afraid to hide it. He thought about it and replied again: "I know some inside story about this matter. It is said that after burying Duke Ying, the lady Yang was originally planning to return to Chang'an. However, due to the long journey and the long journey and the funeral, Mrs. Yang fell ill all of a sudden and could not walk. In addition, the two princes of Duke Ying were also quite playful. The Wu family is a large family in Bingzhou. Several nephews of Duke Ying lived in Bingzhou. They took the two princes Wu to travel around. As a result, the two princes Wu didn't want to go back to Chang'an. As a result, the Wu family temporarily lived in Bingzhou."

"Hmph, I heard that Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang were domineering in Bingzhou and did a lot of evil things. Do you just ignore your governor?" Li Xiu couldn't help feeling angry when he heard the other party mention the Wu brothers. When he was in Chang'an, these two brothers did not dare to be too presumptuous, but he did not expect that they had no one to control in Bingzhou and became lawless, destroying the wisdom of the warrior's life.

"This..." Zhou Shenjun heard Li Xiu blame his immediate boss, and he couldn't help but look embarrassed. After a moment, he explained, "It's not that my family's husband is unwilling to care about it, but when Duke Ying was alive, he had kindness to our family. In addition, the Wu family was a large clan in Bingzhou, so he wanted people and money. Faced with such a powerful man, ordinary local officials really didn't dare to care too much!"

Zhou Shenjun also heard that Li Xiu had no good feelings for the Wu brothers, so he became much bolder when speaking. Of course, he did not forget to defend his boss. After all, local officials like them were most afraid of being under their rule that there were powerful people like the Wu family.

"Forget it, I get angry when I mention Brother Wu's two incompetent sons. I can understand Zhou Guanjun's difficulties, but do you know the situation of Mrs. Wu and her three daughters?" Li Xiu knew that it was strange to ask about other people's female relatives like this, but in order to know Wu Mingkong's current situation, he could only give up his face.

Sure enough, when Zhou Shenjun heard that Li Xiu was only asking about the female relatives of Duke Ying's Mansion, he looked at Li Xiu with some strangeness, but he did not dare to ask more. He thought about it again before answering: "Mrs. Wu and the three little wives of the Wu family, I only looked at them from a distance at the funeral. Later, I heard that Mrs. Wu was sick and invited many doctors to treat her. Later, I heard that her condition had begun to improve. As for the three little wives of the Wu family..."

When talking about the three sisters of Wu Mingkong, Zhou Shenjun also frowned, then shook his head and smiled, "I really don't know this. After all, except for the funeral, they all lived in the high-sect mansion of the Wu family at other times, and it was impossible for people outside to find out what was happening inside."

When Li Xiu heard that Zhou Shenjun didn't know about the three sisters of Wu Mingkong, he couldn't help but show a disappointed expression. However, he thanked the other party because he had at least let him know the reason why Wu Mingkong and his family did not come back. He just didn't know how Yang's condition was. When she recovered from illness, she should take Wu Mingkong and the other two back to Chang'an, right?

"By the way!" But at this moment, Zhou Shenjun seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly shouted, "When I came to Chang'an for medical treatment with my wife, I once heard about something, which was related to the three young ladies of the Wu family."

"What's the matter?" Li Xiu hurriedly asked after hearing this.

Zhou joined the army and replied with a smile: "Actually, this is not a secret. At the beginning of spring this year, the palace is preparing to choose a concubine for His Majesty. I heard that the Wu family intends to send a young lady into the palace to serve His Majesty!"
