Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

These killers are already grateful for such a result.

Although he is a killer, he has a family behind him. If his mother and children are killed because of him, they will really want to go to hell.

Seeing that Zhan Beiting refused to admit it, the killers behind him became anxious and began to talk about the situation in Zhan Beiting's mansion.

The more Zhan Beiting listened, the more anxious he became. The prince looked at his anxious look and sneered in his heart.

"General Zhan, what's your explanation?" Ming Zhao asked in a clear voice.

After all, all the civil and military officials in the court heard that there was a secret room in Zhan Beiting's mansion. How could ordinary people tell the location of the secret room? It only means that they have been in it.

Everyone is not a fool, and Zhan Beiting knows it, but at this moment, he, who is always mighty and domineering, doesn't know how to start.

Zhan Beiting felt bitter, and all the civil and military officials in the court were waiting for his answer.

Zhan Beiting, who was forced to this point, became more and more angry at his deputy general for not doing a good job and leaving these people alive.

For now, Zhan Beiting secretly made up his mind to wait for an opportunity and prepare to rebel.

Anyway, I can't say anything, fortunately I have planted people in the palace, just waiting for the deputy general to come, and with one signal, I will rebel today!

At worst, I could kill the old emperor and the prince. No one in the court would dare to go against me, unless they didn't want my family anymore!

Thinking of this, Zhan Beiting's face darkened even more. He bowed and said in a deep voice, "I am innocent. Your Highness, please do not believe the nonsense of these thieves. They are trying to drag me down in order to escape. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to check my residence."

Zhan Beiting is cunning by nature. To be on the safe side, he had already sent his deputy general to fill the inner chamber. He always takes one step at a time in everything he does.

Seeing that Zhan Beiting was so unmoved, the killers became anxious and looked at the prince to see how to make the decision.

Unexpectedly, the prince smiled slightly. Since they had decided to confront each other today, they must have a foolproof plan.

"Deputy General Xuan Zhou!" The prince gave a wink to the eunuch beside him, who immediately understood and shouted the message to the outside of the hall.

Zhan Beiting was suddenly startled and looked outside the palace with a strange expression on his face, wondering why the prince wanted to summon Deputy General Zhou.

As the announcement was made, a young man walked into the hall from outside. He had a cold face and a tall figure. He did not look around when he entered the hall, but bowed down to the prince when he saw him.

The prince smiled slightly and asked him to stand up.

The man kowtowed to express his gratitude.

Zhan Beiting couldn't suppress his surprise: "Deputy General Zhou? What's wrong with you?"

Zhan Beiting couldn't continue. He vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

Although he was suspicious and cunning by nature, he treated Deputy General Zhou differently and valued him highly.

This was because Deputy General Zhou had once saved his life on the battlefield. At that time, Zhan Beiting was in danger and was almost stabbed by the enemy. It was this unknown soldier who suddenly appeared and stood in front of him, and he was seriously injured.

From then on, Zhan Beiting remembered this soldier and discovered that he was also a brave and skilled general with extraordinary skills. In addition, he saved his life, so he developed a liking for him.

Deputy General Zhou gradually became Zhan Beiting's confidant. In addition, he himself had abilities, so Zhan Beiting became more and more dependent on him.

Just now, he didn't find Deputy General Zhou in the palace and was a little angry. Now he was summoned by the prince. Zhan Beiting always felt that this was not a good thing.

Sure enough, Deputy General Zhou just glanced at Zhan Beiting indifferently, casually bowed and called him "General", and said nothing else.

Then the prince began to ask Zhan Beiting about his assassination and treason. Deputy General Zhou actually betrayed Zhan Beiting in detail and produced a lot of evidence. The entire court was shocked.

When Zhan Beiting heard Lieutenant General Zhou tell him everything about him, he couldn't believe his ears. He felt his head buzzing, as if he was hallucinating.

As the prince scolded and punished him, guards with swords surrounded Zhan Beiting, and he finally reacted.

He was really betrayed by Lieutenant General Zhou!

Not a dream!

How could that be? Zhan Beiting looked at Deputy General Zhou in a daze, but Deputy General Zhou just smiled sarcastically, and this smile stung Zhan Beiting's eyes.

He looked around at the guards surrounding him, sneered, and shouted outside the hall: "Come here, arrest them all."

But no one answered him, and no one came in.

How is this going?

Zhan Beiting felt a little panicked and shouted again.

But there was still no response to him.

Zhan Beiting's heart tightened, and he knew that something was wrong.

Since Deputy General Zhou dared to betray me, naturally what I asked him to do was useless. He must have made a foolproof plan long ago, otherwise how could he dare.

"Why? Why did you betray me? I treated you well!" Zhan Beiting roared and questioned Lieutenant General Zhou.

Indeed, Zhan Beiting raised Deputy General Zhou as his own son. Although he didn't say it, he actually admired this cold and loyal soldier very much.

He did not demand credit from himself just because he had saved me. He continued to practice martial arts and fight battles silently. He did not feel dissatisfied because he had saved the general but was still just a small soldier.

Zhan Beiting admired him very much, so he treated him as a good seedling to be cultivated.

Deputy General Zhou did not disappoint his appreciation, worked very hard, and gradually gained Zhan Beiting's trust.

Zhan Beiting even wanted to wait until he ascended the throne in the future to marry his little daughter to Deputy General Zhou. After all, such a loyal and upright person as his son-in-law would not only be good to his daughter, but also help him manage the army firmly!

Now that he has been betrayed by the person he trusted the most, even a great general like Zhan Beiting cannot bear this blow.

He stared at Deputy General Zhou with bloodshot eyes, as if he wanted to stare a bloody hole in him.

Deputy General Zhou looked at Zhan Beiting coldly with his cool and handsome face.

This made Zhan Beiting feel nervous and uneasy!

"Oh, why? General Zhan, do you still remember that fifteen years ago in Zhoujia Village, when you brutally murdered over a hundred families, men, women, and children?"

"You! Who are you? Are you from Zhoujia Village?" Zhan Beiting's hands trembled. This man is actually from Zhoujia Village?

"Yes, I am a child from Zhoujia Village. I was young at that time and was hidden by my mother. I was lucky to escape with my life. It was at that time that I remembered your voice and saw your face!" Deputy General Zhou's tone gradually became cold.

The Crown Prince and all the civil and military officials were chilled to the bone when they heard that more than a dozen civilians had been killed by Zhan Beiting.

"Why? The whole village has done its best to entertain you, but you want to kill us? Why? Is it just because you are afraid that we will reveal your whereabouts?" Deputy General Zhou asked.
