"Warrior, he is actually a warrior..."
At this moment, the guards, housekeepers, servants, maids, etc. in the Zhou Mansion were all frozen in place, with expressions of shock and disbelief on their faces.
This cowardly and incompetent son-in-law who worked like a slave in the mansion and was even laughed at and bullied by them, turned out to be a terrifying warrior!
Zhou Lan's face was also pale and her teeth were chattering.
Only Zhou Shumei, who was standing aside, looked at her husband tenderly with tears in her eyes.
Zhou Boyue looked at her, his heart softened suddenly, and his whole body's momentum was restrained. He looked at his mother-in-law and said in a low voice: "Mother-in-law, I am here, I can be your slave, I can be looked down upon and humiliated by any of you, but this is my friend. I invited him to celebrate your birthday today, but you let them sit in the corridor to eat, and didn't even let them into the hall. I am very sad. But I can still tolerate these. But now, if you reverse right and wrong, and want to treat him like I treated me in front of so many people, then please forgive me, I will never accept it."
After hearing this, Zhou Lan's body was still shaking. She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but she said it at a moment's notice.
At this moment, Zhou Qifeng suddenly shouted with a ferocious face: "How dare you! How dare you! A mere son-in-law rebel against the heaven! Zhou Boyue, you ungrateful little bastard, do you think that just because you know a little martial arts... "
“Swish!”
Zhou Boyue suddenly turned around, and in a flash, he appeared in front of him. He suddenly punched him in the face, knocking him flying.
Then he punched the ground with a "bang"!
The whole courtyard shook suddenly, and the bluestone slabs on the ground cracked with a "click". A terrible airflow suddenly spread in all directions like a wave.
The servants and guards standing nearby were all thrown back, and some were directly thrown to the ground.
Zhou Qifeng fell heavily to the ground, his face covered in blood, his mind went blank, and he could no longer utter a word.
The guests around were all shocked and terrified!
Zhou Boyue clenched his fists, with a whistling wind around him. He slowly stood up, straightened his chest, looked at him fiercely and said, "Zhou Qifeng, you are just a small official in the Ministry of Revenue, and you dare to show off in my Zhou family and do such dirty things? I do know a little martial arts, but I am a martial arts master. If I become an official, you won't even be able to lick my shoes! My mother-in-law is afraid of you, but I, Zhou Boyue, am not afraid of you. My mother-in-law can insult me, but you don't have the qualifications! In my eyes, you are not even as good as an ant!"
After these words were spoken, the entire courtyard fell into silence.
Zhou Qifeng's followers hid in the distance, trembling and not daring to come forward.
Zhou Qifeng lay on the ground, his face covered in blood, but he dared not say a word.
"Who is causing trouble here?!"
At this moment, a man in official robes, accompanied by a group of yamen runners, rushed in from the gate aggressively, followed by a team of patrolling soldiers in armor.
When Zhou Qifeng saw this person, he immediately got up from the ground and shouted, "Master Su, Master Su! You have to make the decision for me!"
The man in the official robe was named Su Datong. He was the sheriff of the area in the west of the city. Zhou Qifeng's servant had just slipped out to inform him when he saw that something was wrong, so he immediately brought his men here.
Su Datong was shocked to see his face covered in blood and in such a miserable state. He frowned, looked at the people in the yard fiercely, and said angrily, "Who did it? Lord Zhou is an official appointed by the court. Who is so bold as to beat up an official appointed by the court?"
Zhou Qifeng immediately pointed at Zhou Boyue who was standing in the middle of the courtyard, and then at the young man under the eaves, and gnashed his teeth and said, "This official's face was hit by the son-in-law of the Zhou family, and this official's body was hit by that little beast. I came to Zhou's house for dinner today, and I didn't do anything, but I was beaten for no reason. Lord Su, you have to make a decision for me."
Su Datong shouted angrily, "Come here, tie up those two men and take them back to the government office! I want to interrogate them personally!"
At this time, Zhou Lan suddenly stepped forward, stood beside her son-in-law, and shouted: "Master Su, everyone here knows the cause and effect of this matter. How can you arrest people just based on Master Zhou's one-sided statement? I kindly invited Master Zhou to the banquet, but Master Zhou colluded with my Zhou family concubine, got Madam Qin drunk, and wanted to forcibly drag Madam Qin to the backyard to do something improper. There are several witnesses here who saw it with their own eyes, and my Zhou family concubine Liu Honghua has also personally admitted it. Everyone has just heard it. The culprit is Master Zhou, please judge for yourself, Master Su!"
After hearing this, Su Datong was stunned for a moment and looked at Zhou Qifeng.
Zhou Qifeng shouted angrily, "Zhou Lan! You and I are from the same family, why are you teaming up with outsiders to make up lies and slander me? Lord Su, take them all back to the government office and interrogate them thoroughly, they will only confess the truth!"
Su Datong glanced at the crowd and suddenly saw a few familiar faces. He bowed and said, "Master Qian, Master Liu, did you see or hear about this?"
Lord Qian and Lord Liu both bowed and said, "We were all in the house. We came out when we heard the noise. We didn't see anything, but we heard everything."
Zhou Qifeng sneered and said, "Master Su, did you hear it? Neither of you saw or heard it, so this matter is a conspiracy between the Zhou family and the Qin family to frame me! Take them back to the government office and interrogate them thoroughly, and the truth will naturally come out!"
Su Datong immediately shouted, "Come here, take the two suspects who beat Mr. Zhou, as well as Madam Qin, Madam Zhou, and the concubine of the Zhou family, all back!"
"yes!"
The bailiffs immediately rushed forward like wolves and tigers.
Luo Qingzhou immediately stepped in front of Song Ruyue to protect her. His clothes swelled up and a strong wind whizzed around his body.
He clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with coldness.
Song Ruyue and Mei'er both stared at his back in a daze.
Su Datong sneered and said, "Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"
Zhou Lan's body trembled immediately, and she grabbed Zhou Boyue beside her, and said in a trembling voice: "Boyue, don't do it, otherwise our Zhou family, your wife and children, will all be finished..."
Zhou Boyue clenched his fists, his face turned pale, he turned around to look at his wife, and the aura and strength in his body suddenly seemed to be deflated and disappeared without a trace.
Seeing this, Su Datong sneered, and looked at the young man under the eaves who was still ready to resist, and said coldly: "Why, is there anyone who wants to resist the law?"
Luo Qingzhou still clenched his fists, protecting Song Ruyue and his servant. The wind around him whistled and spun. He looked at him coldly and said, "In broad daylight, in front of everyone, under the emperor's feet! You officials protect each other, collude with each other, confuse right and wrong, and break the law knowingly. Aren't you afraid of losing your official hats and heads?"
Su Datong sneered and said sarcastically, "Good boy, when you go to the government office, I will see if you are still as eloquent and enthusiastic as you are now!"
Then he shouted angrily: "Come here! Capture him! Anyone who dares to resist will be killed on the spot!"
“Bang!”
Just as he finished speaking, a whip suddenly flew from behind and hit him hard on the head, actually lifting off a piece of his hair and scalp!
Before he fell, the whip suddenly wrapped around his neck again, pulling him away and causing him to fall heavily into the flower bed in the courtyard.
Everyone was stunned when they saw this sudden change.
Before the yamen runners and soldiers could react, a tall girl in a black dress, holding a black whip, came in from the gate with a young woman and an old woman, twisting her slender waist gracefully and striding with her long legs.
"Who! Who dares to attack me?"
Su Datong crawled up from the flower bed, touched the blood and torn scalp on his head, trembling with pain, and felt shocked and angry!
When he saw the three people coming in from the gate, he immediately shouted angrily: "Catch them! Catch them all!"
The yamen runners and soldiers immediately stepped forward.
At this moment, the old woman following the girl in the black dress suddenly stomped her right foot on the ground.
"boom!"
The entire mansion was suddenly shaken!
The rubble on the surrounding houses bounced up with a loud crash.
The bluestone slabs in the courtyard were already cracked, and at this moment, with a "crack" sound, they all shattered into pieces.
Everyone's feet staggered, their bodies tilted, and they fell to the ground.
Zhou Boyue reached out and held on to the corridor.
Luo Qingzhou also quickly turned around and supported Song Ruyue and Mei'er.
The yamen runners and soldiers were unable to stand steadily and were staggering from side to side. Many of them fell directly to the ground.
Seeing this scene, Su Datong and other warriors' faces changed drastically.
Zhou Boyue was also shocked.
This old woman's simple stomping of her feet had such power. Even he was frightened by her powerful aura. She must be at least a great martial artist!
"What a courage!"
The young woman behind the girl in the black dress suddenly took out a gold medal, raised it and said, "My young lady is the princess of the Southern Kingdom Prince's Mansion. Who dares to be presumptuous?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the yamen runners and soldiers changed and they dared not move.
Su Datong, who was sitting in the flower bed, felt his heart skip a beat and his face turned pale.
The young woman snorted coldly, and suddenly kicked Zhou Qifeng next to her. She said with a gloomy face: "Madam Qin is the sister of my princess. You, a dog official, actually dared to have evil intentions towards her. You deserve to be killed!"
“And you!”
The young woman pointed at Su Datong in the flower bed and said, "You are in charge of the local security, yet you colluded with this crooked official, ignored everyone's testimony, and wanted to take an innocent person back to torture him! I don't think you want to save your official hat and your head!"
Su Datong was so frightened that he trembled and said hurriedly, "Your Highness, I just want to take them back for questioning. I have no intention of torturing them. I have never colluded with Zhou Qifeng..."
The young woman said coldly, "Whether you have colluded with him or not, someone from the Censorate will naturally find out. Sir Su, people from the Censorate are on their way, you'd better think about what to tell them later."
Su Datong suddenly trembled like a sieve.
Everyone in the courtyard was silent.
Nangong Meijiao walked to Song Ruyue's side, supported her, and whispered, "Aunt, are you okay?"
Song Ruyue had regained consciousness by now. She shook her head, looked around, and asked, "Where is that young master?"
Mei'er quickly pointed behind her.
Song Ruyue turned her head and saw that the young man who had just saved her and bravely protected her at the risk of being killed on the spot by the government was hiding behind the silver-haired girl for some reason.
She said quickly: "Mei Jiao, it was him... that young master who saved me, you... you call him back, we should thank him properly..."
Nangong Meijiao glanced at someone coldly and said sarcastically, "I'm afraid he doesn't dare to go."
Luo Qingzhou: “…”
Song Ruyue said quickly: "Young Master..."
Luo Qingzhou said quickly: "It's just a small favor, Madam, don't worry about it."
After saying that, he immediately pulled Sister Dao's clothes and whispered, "Let's go!"
Sister Dao coughed and said, "Princess, I'm leaving now."
After saying that, he took him and Chu Xiaoxiao and left quickly.
The yamen runners and soldiers watched and no one dared to stop them.
When they reached the middle of the courtyard, Luo Qingzhou waved to Zhou Boyue and whispered, "Boyue, we're leaving first. Thank you for what happened today. Don't worry, with her here, this matter won't affect your Zhou family."
After saying this, he didn't dare to stay and left quickly.
Zhou Boyue was stunned for a moment, and looked at the princess with a cold and domineering face.
Of course he knew the girl.
Once in Mo City, she was called Qiandaoxuehumiliation.
"Mei Jiao, that young man..."
When Song Ruyue saw her benefactor leave, she immediately became anxious.
Nangong Meijiao supported her, staring coldly at the figure fleeing at the door, and said, "Don't worry, aunt. I know him. If you want to thank him, I will invite him to dinner at the mansion."
When Song Ruyue heard this, she looked at her in surprise.
Nangong Meijiao suddenly raised her eyebrows and said, "By the way, aunt, Luo Qingzhou also knows him. He and Luo Qingzhou seem to be good friends. Luo Qingzhou should have taken the Fire Fox Tears back from him last time."
After hearing this, Song Ruyue was even more surprised.
Nangong Meijiao raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and secretly gloated in her heart: Bitch, wait for death!
Aunt Mu said loudly at the side: "Everyone wait a moment, the people from the Censorate will be here soon. When the time comes, tell the truth about what you saw and heard. Don't worry about retaliation. Because these two dogs will no longer have the opportunity to retaliate against you."
After hearing this, Zhou Lan's anxious heart finally relaxed.
After Luo Qingzhou and the other two left Zhou's residence, they left in a hurry.
Sister Dao originally wanted to tease him a few words, but seeing his serious expression, she didn't dare to joke anymore.
The three separated on the street.
Luo Qingzhou found an empty alley and hid in the innermost corner. Then his spirit left his body and returned to Zhou Mansion.
He had always been suspicious of Zhou Qifeng's audacity.
Just when the other party was terrified, I suddenly heard what was in his heart.
There really was someone behind this matter.
And the person who ordered it was actually the Jinyiwei!
I don't know whether the other party wants to force the warrior hidden behind his mother-in-law to show up, or wants to destroy her innocence and control her with drugs, just like he controlled the second wife of the Zhou family, and then use her to deal with the entire Qin family.
Whatever the reason, he and the Qin family were becoming increasingly dangerous.
Today, he is trying his best to protect Song Ruyue as Chu Feiyang. This news will definitely be discovered by the Jinyiwei.
Luo Changtian already had some suspicions about him, so now he was determined to get to the bottom of it.
So he must strike first.
My mother's revenge must be taken, and this danger must be eliminated!
Night fell over the entire city.
His soul flew into the air and soon arrived at the Zhou family mansion.
But he didn't notice that just a few minutes before he arrived, a moon-white figure flew into the night sky and disappeared.
