Traveling through the Qin Dynasty, I seized the throne of Ying Zheng's father

Chapter 275 Opportunity

For the entire family, that was like climbing a ladder to heaven.

Lord Zhou dares not act rashly now. He does not understand Fusu, even though they have traveled together for a period of time and have even spoken quite a bit.

But he didn't figure out the true nature of this heir to the dynasty.

If one takes Fusu's previous gentleness as his true nature, or even as an attempt to bully him, then one would be making a grave mistake.

Although Lord Zhou was only from a small county, he had no opportunity to meet the high-ranking officials and nobles in Xianyang City.

However, due to his family background, Lord Zhou had more experience than the average person since childhood.

He naturally wouldn't praise Fusu, thinking Fusu was a harmless person, so he was even more cautious in his interactions with Fusu.

Fusu looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, his forehead covered in cold sweat, showing how terrified he was.

Even so, Fusu did not give Lord Zhou a kind look, treating him as an ordinary stranger.

People who aren't on the same boat can't get along. Since Ying Zheng has given him such an order, even if Lord Zhou is innocent, his family behind him is definitely not innocent.

Before coming, Fusu had inquired about the Zhou family's influence in the court and what they had done over the years.

And other basic things. Fusu found out all of that.

Know yourself and the enemy, a hundred battles will never end.

Therefore, Fusu had a basic impression of the Zhou family.

Fusu didn't have a very good impression of the Zhou family. Although most of the information was hearsay, Fusu felt that...

If hearsay has spread this far, it's clear that the Zhou family's situation is probably even worse than he's heard.

Take this opportunity to thoroughly investigate the Zhou family. If they have indeed done something unforgivable, it is only right that they accept punishment from the imperial court.

Therefore, Fusu did not give Lord Zhou a kind look at all. On the one hand, the Zhou family members bullied men and women and seized the farmland of the common people.

Any one of these actions alone would be enough to warrant execution.

Fusu naturally looked down on such a person.

Although the Zhou family had a certain influence in the local area, they did nothing to help the people or relieve the pressure on the imperial court.

The Zhou family is actually dragging us down, relying on their family's power to bully men and women.

Fusu held such people in utter contempt, believing that those who relied solely on their family's power to bully others were morally flawed.

If it were just an ordinary person, the destructive power might not be that great, but if it were an official, it would only bring harm and no benefit to the officialdom.

Even for the sake of the country and its people, we cannot allow someone like Lord Zhou to continue to remain in officialdom.

Fusu already had concrete evidence against him, but to nip it in the bud, he wanted to eliminate the root of the problem. So what he wanted was not just to take down Lord Zhou, but to address the problems within the local officialdom.

Fusu wanted to get rid of any official who was involved but failed to act.

Especially for a family like the Zhou family, which has influence in the local area, it's unacceptable that they don't use that influence in a beneficial way, but instead only want more benefits.

After seeing Lord Zhou off, Fusu shook his head regretfully.

He hadn't expected that Lord Zhou was indeed the inactive official he had imagined, and that he had even protected many officials.

Of course, he can also benefit from it.
