Chapter 1060 Zhang Lao Han and His Son
Zhou Guo looked at the person kneeling on the ground and couldn't understand why he was the traitor.
The kneeling man was trembling with fear, his face was pale, and he hadn't heard Zhou Guo speak for a long time. Instead, the sweat on his forehead was getting more and more.
Hu Zi said, "Master, Xiao Zhang went to Yunzhou six days ago on the pretext of buying cloth for his family and never came back. When we arrived in Song County, the old man was about to pack up and leave.
Zhou Guo looked at the trembling Old Zhang, very puzzled, and asked: "Why, am I not good enough to you two? Or have I been too harsh on you? Is it because I haven't earned enough in the past few years?"
The traitors were the old man Zhang and his son, who were in charge of a few acres of experimental land in Song County. They had been managing the experimental land on the farm for Zhou Guo in recent years, and they thought the composting techniques on the farm were not difficult, and they also knew what to use.
Although we don't know all about the composting process, it's nothing more than these steps.
Old man Zhang's face was covered in sweat and he couldn't speak. He opened his mouth but said nothing.
"Speak!" Erpang kicked him and he rolled over. He quickly got up and knelt down, hunched over, looking pitiful.
Just like back then, Zhou Guoleng was very cold. This old guy was only good at superficial work.
Zhou Guo said, "I think I have been very kind to you and your son over the years. I have given you everything I should have given you. I have seen your life getting better over the years. Your wife and children can wear gold and silver jewelry, and even have big gold bracelets on their wrists. You have lived such a good life that I am afraid you have forgotten the time when your family almost starved to death."
Old man Zhang mustered up the courage to look up at her. He seemed to feel guilty, wiping his sweat and tears and said, "Boss, I'm sorry for you. I'm sorry for you. It's really my unfilial grandson who got involved in gambling last year. He has spent all the family's belongings in the past year. If we don't obey and don't give these things, our family will be dead!"
After saying that, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to her, "I was wrong, we were wrong. Please forgive us for our hard work over the years. We will never dare to do it again. We will work like a slave to repay you!"
Zhou Guo laughed after hearing this. He turned the sandalwood beads in his hand, looked at him and said softly, "Old man, I gave you this job because I felt sorry for your family's miserable life. What do you mean by hard work? I give you so much money every year. If you don't work hard, I would have kicked you out long ago. I don't know where the bodies of your family are now."
Old man Zhang wiped his sweat and said, "Yes, yes, but my grandson was also led away by someone, Boss. He didn't do it voluntarily. We couldn't do anything about it. I can't just watch the child die like this. That's a life!!"
Zhou Guo picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and looked at Hu Zi.
Hu Zi looked at Old Man Zhang expressionlessly and said in a cold voice: "Be honest, do you think we are dead? If you don't tell the truth, I will kill your whole family!"
With a wave of his hand, "Bring it up!"
Soon, angry scolding was heard outside the house.
"Who are you? Why did you tie us up? I'm telling you, if you know what's best for you, let me go. Do you know who our master is? If he finds out, you won't have a good life and you will be in big trouble!"
"We are from the Zhou family. You know the Zhou family, right? The young master of the Zhou family treats our master like her own father. If she knew what you did to us, she would never let you go. No matter which family you are from, she would never let you go!"
"And the Wang family. Our master is on good terms with the Wang family, and I am also very familiar with the wife of the Wang family. Do you believe it or not, if I say hello to the Wang family, you will die a miserable death?"
In the hall, a dozen people were tied up and brought into the room, and the women were screaming.
Zhou Guo looked at them leisurely. The women were wearing silk and satin, with gold hairpins in their hair and big gold bracelets on their wrists. Many aunties in the village might not be willing to buy such big bracelets.
There was still an arrogance on his face that refused to give in.
She couldn't help but wonder if she had been too nice to these people over the years, which was why they were stepping on her head and shitting on her?
He gave her such a big shit, and then he laughed at her for being incompetent and bullied her for being kind. He thought she would just let it go just by saying a few nice words?
"Master? Why are you here?"
"Dad, where is this? Why are we tied up here?"
......
When the family saw Old Man Zhang kneeling beside them, they felt that things were not that simple. They looked at Zhou Guo sitting on the upper seat, and then at the dozen or so big men standing around, and fell speechless.
Old man Zhang looked at the whole family, closed his eyes and kowtowed to Zhou Guo, "Please forgive us, please forgive us, we really have no choice but to do so..."
Zhou Guo changed into a comfortable position and said with a smile: "Old man Zhang, you probably don't know what kind of person I am. My family all fled from the south. When we started to flee, there was no strong laborer in my family. The road to the north was thousands of miles, and we arrived safely. You also know that if you don't have some ruthlessness and tricks on the road, your whole family will be eaten to the bone!"
Old man Zhang fell silent and lay on the ground for a long time without getting up.
Zhou Guo continued, "You've seen that my family is very wealthy. I might as well tell you that my Zhou family's huge fortune was built up bit by bit from my thatched cottage. If I didn't have any skills, how could I have stood firm in the north where there are so many wealthy families? You don't think I'm some kind of living Bodhisattva, do you?"
The hall was completely silent. Except for Old Man Zhang who was lying on the ground, everyone was staring at her intently.
She nodded to Hu Zi and said, "Tell him everything you found out."
Hu Zi didn't even glance at the person on the ground, and said coldly: "We checked, there is no so-called person who lured his grandson into the gambling house. It was his grandson himself who went to the gambling house continuously since the year before last. In the past two years, most of the family wealth has been gambled away. Last autumn, he even robbed the girl of Yihongyuan with someone. He offended someone, and in the end, he had to pay compensation in the name of our Zhou family before the matter was settled.
Last autumn, a distant relative of the Wang family came to visit us, and brought this little grandson to show his face and meet many people in Yunzhou. The old Zhang family, from top to bottom, has been seen by the Wang family branch. Every time they enter the mansion, they come out with big bags and small bags. This family has more silk and satin than the average family of small officials. They think that if they dress up a little, they can do it without anyone noticing, and they want to deceive us. "
The more he spoke, the lower Old Man Zhang leaned, until he finally collapsed to the ground completely exhausted.
