Chapter 216 Plan Failed

"What? The person was released?"

When Zhou Zhongzheng heard the servant's report, he climbed up from the bed and stared at the servant who came to report the news with a gloomy face: "What happened?"

"Sir, yes, that's what happened..."

The man carefully explained what happened.

After listening, Zhou Zhongzheng's originally gloomy face suddenly became very ugly.

"The governor knows about it?!"

Zhou Zhongzheng's eyes showed a bit of fear and panic: "You, what you said is true?!"

"Sir, it's true... The governor had already sent the county magistrate to the government office for this matter... The governor already knew about it! And I heard that the county magistrate also provided evidence to Lord Xu..."

At this moment, Zhou Zhongzheng was a little panicked!

Things happened too fast and too unexpectedly, which caught him off guard.

He is not stupid. The governor suddenly intervened in this matter, and it must be aimed at him!

Something is going to happen!

Zhou Zhongzheng looked a little flustered, and then he seemed to think of something: "Then, what about Li Beifeng? Where is he?"

"That Li Beifeng, I don't know where he got Miss Murong from Qingxiang Tower to testify for him. Now, Lord Xu has let him go..."

"Pah!"

Zhou Zhongzheng fell back on the bed, his face getting uglier.

Let him go?

Let him go?

He worked so hard and took such a big risk just to deal with that Li.

As a result, he paid such a big price, but Li Beifeng was safe and sound?

This time, he really lost both his wife and his army! !

Since the night before, he has no way back.

Zhou Zhongzheng knew very well that he made such a big noise that night, which would definitely attract the attention of the governor.

However, in order to eliminate Li Beifeng and vent his anger, he didn't take it too seriously.

But it was just a disturbance of street order, even if the governor caught him, it would not hurt, and it would not have much impact.

But what Zhou Zhongzheng didn't expect was that Li Beifeng was rescued by Zhou Qiuning. Zhou Qiuning's behavior disrupted all his plans.

Moreover, the Zhou family's worshiper, Senior Xu, also lost his life because of this!

For Zhou Zhongzheng, this was totally unacceptable.

Senior Xu was the Zhou family's worshiper, a master that they had spent a lot of energy to retain, and the trump card and confidence of their Zhou family, and he died just like that...

So far, Zhou Zhongzheng still thought that it was Zhou Qiuning who saved Li Beifeng that night.

Senior Xu naturally died at Zhou Qiuning's hands.

This...

made Zhou Zhongzheng grit his teeth even more.

Unexpectedly, the plan ended up falling into the hands of his own people.

He worked hard to withstand such great pressure, not only failed to retaliate against Li Beifeng, but also caused himself heavy losses.

Zhou Zhongzheng, who was furious, didn't care so much.

Since he couldn't solve Li Beifeng secretly. It would be better to use the power of the government to deal with Li Beifeng with power.

Therefore, he quickly planned this murder case and put the blame on Li Beifeng.

His move was almost perfect.

Lord Xu, the yamen in the county city, had a relationship with his Zhou family. He could only arrest Li Beifeng and bring him back to the yamen. With the evidence he provided, Li Beifeng would definitely be imprisoned.

Li Beifeng had no chance to turn over!

As long as Li Beifeng could be solved, his great hatred would be avenged. Even if it would annoy the governor, it would be worth it in Zhou Zhongzheng's eyes.

However, all failed!

Li Beifeng was safe and sound, which was a great insult to him!

At the same time, it also made Zhou Zhongzheng realize that something was wrong.

The governor acted too quickly.

No...

That's not the case at all!

Zhou Zhongzheng finally reacted at this moment.

He was too naive!

From the beginning, the governor had been watching his every move.

Any of his actions were probably under the surveillance of the governor.

That's why he took action immediately after Li Beifeng was arrested.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhongzheng broke out in a cold sweat.

His plan was disrupted by the governor.

Then what's next...

Zhou Zhongzheng's face became uglier and uglier, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.

Murder, frame-up...

Once the governor found evidence of these crimes, the consequences would be disastrous.

A catastrophe!

Zhou Zhongzheng, who had calmed down, finally realized the seriousness of the matter.

"Sir, young master..."

At this moment, another servant hurried in from outside the door.

"Sir, the master is calling you over."

Zhou Zhongzheng's face became uglier and uglier, and even his father was alarmed. That means that this matter... is really serious.

...

"Dad!"

In the hall, Zhou Zhongzheng lowered his head, no longer having the arrogant look he had in the past.

At this moment, he was like a defeated rooster.

There was no fighting spirit at all.

In the hall, there sat a middle-aged man.

His hair was gray, but his eyes were full of energy, as if they were shining.

From his complexion, he even looked a little kind.

The middle-aged man was burly, and it could be seen that he was probably a military commander when he was young.

Even though he had been away from the battlefield for many years, his whole body still revealed a kind of momentum that people dared not look directly at.

This middle-aged man was Zhou Qin, the captain of Chaoyang County.

He was also Zhou Zhongzheng's biological father.

At this moment, he was taking a sip of tea.

He slowly put down the teacup and glanced at Zhou Zhongzheng in the hall, "Zhongzheng, do you know what happened outside?"

"I know. Zhou Zhongzheng said in a deep voice.

"You disappoint me!"

Zhou Qin shook his head gently, his eyes a little disappointed.

"Dad, I..."

Zhou Zhongzheng opened his mouth and didn't know how to refute for a while.

At this point, he couldn't refute.

This time, he did a very stupid thing.

In order to vent his selfish desires, he did such a stupid thing, and it couldn't be more stupid...

At this moment, Zhou Zhongzheng, who was awake, wanted to slap himself twice.

"The governor has already known about this matter! "

Zhou Qin narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Zhou Zhongzheng, and slowly said: "This time, you have caused big trouble for our Zhou family!"

"That prefect has been keeping an eye on our Zhou family. This time, you have handed the handle to him. If nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely not miss this great opportunity!"

Zhou Qin was a little disappointed.

The Zhou Zhongzheng in front of him was once his proudest son.

However, because of the trip to Ping'an County, he completely became the laughing stock of the county city and was unable to recover.

A little setback made him look like this, how could Zhou Qin not be disappointed?

Especially this time, he did such a thing, which was even more... stupid!

"Dad..."

Zhou Zhongzheng felt guilty.

"I will find a way to solve it."

"How do you solve it?"

Zhou Qin said calmly: "If the prefect finds that the murder case is on you, then I can't protect you... Not only you, but our Zhou family will also be implicated by you. What do you think you have to solve this problem now? "

Zhou Zhongzheng was speechless.

Things have become like this, and they are no longer under his control.

How can he make up for it?

If he had a way, he would not have come to this point.

What's more infuriating is that he caused such a big incident.

But the initiator of all this, the culprit Li Beifeng, is still at large.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhongzheng was so angry that his teeth itched.

"Dad, this time, if it weren't for Zhou Qiu Ning...if it weren't for her, there wouldn't be so many things!" Zhou Zhongzheng gritted his teeth and said.

If it weren't for Zhou Qiu Ning interfering, how could there be so many things.

What exactly does she want to do?

Is she still a member of the Zhou family?

"Qiu Ning..."

Speaking of Qiu Ning, Zhou Qin shook his head slightly, and a hint of something flashed in his eyes.

Then, he shook his head again: "Even if there was no Qiu Ning, you were...quite stupid this time."

Zhou Zhongzheng was speechless.

"No matter what, Qiu Ning is your sister, your real sister. This is a family relationship that is thicker than blood...you should understand what I mean! "Zhou Qin spoke slowly.

Zhou Zhongzheng remained silent.

Of course he knew it very well.

If he hadn't known this clearly, he and Zhou Qiu Ning would have fallen out long ago.

"Forget it..."

Zhou Qin waved his hand again: "This time, let's take it as a lesson for you, so that you can learn a good lesson. In the future, don't act so rashly again. If you are not completely sure, don't do it casually..."

He glanced at Li Beifeng: "I know you hate the young man named Li Beifeng, but if you can't kill him with a fatal blow, it's best not to do it. Otherwise, all your efforts will be wasted. Next time, he won't give you such an opportunity..."

Zhou Zhongzheng was silent for a moment: "Dad, I know!"

"Also, don't go out again recently, and avoid the limelight for a while. I will deal with this matter!"

Zhou Qin said.

"Dad, the governor..." Zhou Zhongzheng was a little worried.

"Don't worry, I have a way! "

Zhou Qin spoke calmly.

As the commander of Chaoyang County, he was indeed below the new governor in terms of official position.

But after all, he had been in Chaoyang County for so many years and had great influence. The Zhou family's connections and the right to speak in the officialdom were no less than that of the governor.

More importantly, as the commander of Chaoyang County, he now controlled the military power near Chaoyang County.

This was his confidence.

Although the governor found a handle this time, it was not a big deal for him.

Zhou Qin shook his head and looked back at Zhou Zhongzheng: "Zhongzheng, you have to remember. This Chaoyang County still belongs to our Zhou family! No one has the final say except our Zhou family, not even the governor. "

"Dad, you..."

Zhou Zhongzheng was slightly stunned.

"Don't worry, there will be a result soon!"

Zhou Qin showed a sneer on his face: "The Chaoyang County that I have managed for so many years is not something that anyone can take away! ”

“…”

Li Beifeng returned to the inn somewhat puzzled.

Shen Qingning’s sudden anger, Yun’er’s contemptuous eyes, and those inexplicable words all made Li Beifeng puzzled.

What’s wrong with them?

What happened again?

Li Beifeng pondered for a long time, but couldn’t figure out how he had offended the master and servant.

I couldn't figure it out, and I was too lazy to think about it for the time being, so I came back first.

"Young Master, you are back?!"

As soon as Li Beifeng stepped into the inn, the innkeeper and the waiter came forward to greet him warmly.

"Young Master, are you okay?"

"Did the people from the government office bully you?"

Li Beifeng was a little uncomfortable with the enthusiasm.

"I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine, don't worry!"

Li Beifeng waved his hand.

"That's good!"

The innkeeper finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Young Master Li, you really scared us. How could you suddenly disappear, and even linked the government office to a murder case... It's good that you're fine, it's good that you're fine!"

The innkeeper breathed a sigh of relief, as if relieved, and was obviously very happy.

After keenly realizing that there was something unusual between Li Beifeng and the young lady, the innkeeper's attitude towards Li Beifeng was completely different.

The way he looked at Li Beifeng and the way he treated him were completely like treating him as his future son-in-law.

This made Li Beifeng a little uncomfortable and worried... What if the shopkeeper knew that he and his daughter were not together in the future, would he give an order to summon several masters hidden near the inn to kill Li Beifeng on the street with a knife?

"..."

"Young Master!"

After talking to the shopkeeper, Li Beifeng was about to go back to his room when he was suddenly stopped by the shopkeeper.

"Sir, I have one more thing to tell you."

"Hmm?"

"Sir, do you remember that girl? The girl who came to our inn to see you that day?"

The shopkeeper mentioned the girl that day, his expression a little serious: "That girl... is a little unusual."

"Oh?"

Li Beifeng naturally knew that the shopkeeper was referring to Zhou Qiu Ning, but he still asked: "Why is she unusual?"

"She is the second daughter of our Zhou family in the county city. Now the Zhou family and our governor in the county city are fighting each other. If you are not familiar with her, it is best to have less contact with her. She is approaching you at this time, I am afraid she has other purposes." The shopkeeper guessed.

Li Beifeng agreed: "What you said is indeed very reasonable!"

Zhou Qiu Ning approached him, there must be some unspeakable secrets.

"Also, I sent someone to investigate her before, and found that she has many secrets..."

The shopkeeper's eyes condensed slightly, and he said: "This second young lady of the Zhou family was sent out when she was young. I heard that she followed a master to learn martial arts, but according to my investigation. This second young lady of the Zhou family, she is from the Jianghu..."

"Jianghu?" Li Beifeng was slightly stunned: "Why do you think so?"

"According to the newspaper, she has been in frequent contact with some people in the Jianghu recently. Moreover, the Zhou family also has a thousand connections with some sects in the Jianghu. Therefore, I suspect that she may be a disciple of a sect in the Jianghu. At the same time, this second young lady of the Zhou family is extremely smart, and her methods are not bad. She is a difficult target..."

The shopkeeper expressed his concerns: "Sir, the Jianghu Conference in the county city is about to be held. The county city is actually not safe. Please be careful. If there is no need, try to stay away from this second young lady of the Zhou family to avoid trouble..."

The shopkeeper actually didn't say one thing.

The second daughter of the Zhou family is extremely beautiful, and her appearance is no worse than that of my daughter.

What if the young master spends more time with him and something happens... What should my daughter do?

The shopkeeper has the obligation to protect the happiness of my daughter.

"..."

"Thank you for your reminder."

Li Beifeng smiled and said, "In fact, I think exactly the same as you do. That girl is indeed not simple."

"Then I'm relieved!" The shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that Mr. Li still has a plan in mind.

"By the way, I also have one more thing to ask you..."

Li Beifeng seemed to think of something: "Do you know what happened to your daughter... today?"

The shopkeeper was puzzled: "What happened to the daughter? What happened?"

"Nothing, I just asked casually..."

"..."
