Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

His hands have been dirty since he took office, and he has done many things that have infuriated people.

If this matter is not handled properly and is taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives, his previous evil deeds will be exposed, which will have some impact on him.

He doesn't want to give up his current wealthy life.

Although he knew that he was just a pawn in name only, what did it matter? Wasn't the emperor also a puppet?

Just enjoy it.

Thinking of this, I quickly thought of a countermeasure in my mind.

"Go, put out the fire first." The governor of Zhoucheng ordered the yamen runner beside him.

After the yamen runners left, the governor of Zhoucheng turned his gaze back and lingered for a moment on the steward of Zhou Yuanwai's mansion in the crowd.

The butler's eyes met his, then quickly retracted. Before the governor could react, his figure disappeared into the crowd.

Zhoucheng Governor...

Leaving now?

This is not...

That's it!

It seems that he doesn't want to take care of it because he hasn't received any instructions.

Eh.....

Even though he was angry, he didn't dare say a word.

He could only begin to command the yamen runners on the scene reluctantly.

On the other side, the housekeeper hurried back to Zhou Mansion and went to Mr. Zhou's study without stopping for a moment.

"Is it them?" Mr. Zhou asked directly without waiting for the butler to speak.

The butler gasped, his hands waving up and down, "Yes, yes, sir, not only... not only did the cave collapse, but even... even the people were... all swallowed up by the fire."

When Mr. Zhou heard this, he could no longer hold back his expression. With a flick of his sleeve, he threw everything on the desk in front of him to the ground.

The butler was able to catch his breath at this moment, but was frightened by his action again. He lowered his head and silently took two steps back.

After waiting for a long time, I didn't see my master make any other moves. I bravely raised my head and saw that the master's fists were clenched and placed on the desk, his face was...

Well, much better than before.

The fearless one asked, "Master, is this another thunderbolt?"

Mr. Zhou raised his eyelids slightly, wanting to scold him but unable to open his mouth. He could only say indifferently, "Oh, are you stupid or do you think I'm stupid? Thunderbolt? You may have thought so before, but don't you think this thunderbolt is too targeted? A few years ago, Butler Zheng... that's all. You wouldn't understand even if I told you. Back off!"

Mr. Zhou rubbed his swollen eyebrows and no longer wanted to talk to the stupid housekeeper. He felt that talking to him would affect his IQ.

You still ask such stupid questions now.

I don't know if he is really stupid or just pretending to be stupid.

If it weren't for his loyalty, I would really want to change him.

The butler had no idea that he was being disliked by his master again. He received the order and walked out with his head lowered.

Shortly after he left, there was another knock on the study door.

"Enter."

"Master, there's news over there. Is it from the Yao people?"

Mrs. Zhou walked over slowly with a food box in her hand.

When Mr. Zhou saw that the visitor was his wife, he did not wonder how she knew the news.

After all, the noise just now was so loud that anyone who was not deaf could notice that something was wrong.

Besides, my wife is not a stupid person.

He waved at her and said in a calmer tone, "Yes, the housekeeper has already gone to confirm it. Sigh... I originally thought these people would be of some use, but I didn't expect them to be so useless. I don't know who they offended, but they were wiped out so quickly."

Madam Zhou placed the food box on the desk, walked over to his side and said gently, "Husband, you also think this matter is not simple, right? It's not as simple as a thunderbolt, right?"

Mr. Zhou nodded slightly, "If I still think this is related to the thunder, I'd be a fool."

When Madam Zhou heard him say this, she knew he had doubts in his heart. She placed a hand on his shoulder and whispered, "Do you think this is related to the previous incident?"

Mr. Zhou patted the back of her hand on his shoulder and said, "I have my suspicions too. I'm just curious about who they are. First it was Butler Zheng, and now it's the Yao people. Could it be that those people live in the mountains, and the Yao people and those before Butler Zheng have touched their interests? Otherwise, how could they..."

Mrs. Zhou shook her head in disapproval and gently squeezed his shoulder. "Husband, why can't you figure it out right now?"

"Oh? What does Madam mean?"

"Think about it, where are we close to? And last time..."

Before Mrs. Zhou finished her words, Mr. Zhou thought of it and looked at her in surprise, "You mean...them?"

Mrs. Zhou nodded slightly. "Think about it. What did that person say when he came here last time? Don't you think the situation that led to this is very similar to what he said before? I had my doubts when he said it before, and after hearing the noise tonight, I became even more suspicious."

Mr. Zhou was silent. He also remembered what the boss said when he came to see him before.

Although they had never seen those things, according to his description, they could make a loud noise and blow people to pieces...

It seems that it can only come from the north.

But everything still needs to be verified in person.

"Madam, are you interested in accompanying me on this journey as your husband?"

Madam Zhou bowed slightly and said respectfully, "Of course."

The two men had a carriage prepared, and with the coachman's galloping horse, they arrived at the scene of the incident in a short while.

When they arrived, they could only see a group of people gathered in the distance, pointing and talking.

Because it was too dark, I couldn't see clearly what was going on.

Given their identities, the two men naturally would not go down to inquire in person, but instead sent a servant to investigate.

After a while, the servant came back, but his face looked a little pale.

He spoke with a trembling voice.

"What a useless thing." Mr. Zhou said with disdain.

"Master, no, don't blame me. It was really, really that bloody scene... Ugh..."

The servant couldn't continue talking when he thought of what he had seen.

I don’t know if the governor has a problem or has some special hobby.

Even though those things were burnt, they still had to be cleaned up and put together.

Although he couldn't tell what they were specifically, he could still tell that they were minced meat and some unburned intestines.

Thinking of this, he felt that he never wanted to eat meat again in his life.

The more he thought about it, the more the servant couldn't help it.

If it weren't for the support of the bicycle frame, he would have vomited so much that he couldn't stand up.

Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou looked at each other when they saw him like this.
