Chapter 1061 Zhang Lao Han and His Son 22
Instead, several women nearby started to quarrel and said to Zhou Guo, "Boss Zhou, this is your fault. Although it is true that we work on your farm, there is no rule that we cannot interact with other people when working on your farm. The Renwang family is also a big family in Yunzhou. You can't target us just because you two families are enemies and we visited each other a few times?"
"That's right. If the Wang family knew about this, wouldn't that offend them...Ah!!!"
Before she could finish her words, a shrill scream rang out throughout the hall. Hu Zi kicked the woman's arm and broke it, and the arm just hung down limply.
The woman fainted on the spot.
The others were so frightened by this scene that they trembled and dared not say another word.
Old man Zhang shed tears and said, "I'm telling you, Boss, I'm telling you, please spare them. I'm not feeling well, I beg you."
Zhou Guo held the lid of the teacup and tapped it occasionally for fun, looking at him with a smile and said, "It's not that I won't let her go, it's your family that won't let me go! Didn't you hear it just now? If I let you go, they will go to the Wang family to complain and let the Wang family punish me.
I'm not stupid. You don't know that the Wang family is a well-known wealthy family in the North, one of the best. My Zhou family, which has only been around for a few years, is no match for them. If I let you go and let the Wang family know how I treated their guest of honor, I will definitely be in big trouble."
He touched his chest and said, "Oh, no, I'm scared. In order to prevent the Wang family from causing trouble for me, I have to sacrifice you. This way, there will be no evidence. The Wang family will definitely not guess that it was me, don't you think?"
Old man Zhang raised his head suddenly, his face looked ferocious, and then he disappeared.
Zhou Guo narrowed his eyes. It was really a case of the barking dog biting people. In all these years, he hadn't realized that this father and son were such people.
It turns out that the upper beam is crooked and the lower beams are crooked, it is rotten from the root.
"Ah? No, no, Mr. Zhou, please forgive us. We didn't do anything. We just had dinner at Wang's house a few times. Is that not okay?"
"Yes, we didn't do anything. Even though you are our enemy, we don't deserve to be put to death. Besides, we are not your slaves, so you have no right to decide our life or death!"
Old man Zhang lowered his white head and begged for mercy, "Boss, I'm telling you everything, I'm telling you everything, I just ask you to spare my family."
Zhou Guo said coldly: "You are still negotiating terms with me. Don't you recognize the reality? You betrayed me and gave away my family's things, causing me to lose hundreds of thousands of taels of silver and hundreds of thousands of shi of grain overnight. Such a loss is not enough to bury your entire family, and you still dare to negotiate terms with me?"
"What, what do you mean? What was given?" The women were confused and had no idea what was going on.
Some of the Zhang family's children knew and some didn't, but they didn't dare to speak and looked guilty.
Old man Zhang cried bitterly, "I have no other choice. My grandson is the eldest grandson. He has offended someone. They want so much money. Where can I find it? I can only think of selling things. Even if we sell everything at home, it is not enough. We just want to sell what we have.
At this time, my wife happened to be out rescuing a child, and the family came to our house, compensated us, and gave us a lot of things. They took us to meet many respectable people in Yunzhou, and even took us to several landlords’ banquets. Although we didn’t even get to sit at the main table, that was enough. We had never had that experience before. "
At this point, he subconsciously glanced at Zhou Guo and continued, "After a while, we became familiar with them. They knew we were working on your farm and asked about the composting... They promised that if we gave them this method, our children would be able to attend the Wang family's school. They also promised to buy some property for us. With their help, our descendants would be able to enjoy endless wealth and glory in the future."
At this point, it’s almost clear.
Zhou Guo said calmly: "So, you sold me out for this wealth and glory that you can't even see? What else did you sell besides this?"
Old Man Zhang was a little hesitant.
Zhou Guo said: "Think it over carefully, do you want me to investigate it myself or do you want to confess it yourself?"
Old man Zhang said quickly, "As for the experimental site, I have told you everything I can about the village in Song County."
The voice became quieter and quieter.
Zhou Guo was so angry that he laughed, "You are so diligent. You have told me everything you can. People won't release the eagle until they see the rabbit. But you are so good that you are sticking to it. You haven't seen any benefits yet, but you are almost revealing all your secrets."
Old man Zhang begged for mercy with his white hair flashing: "Boss, please forgive us. We didn't do it on purpose. Someone set a trap for us. Otherwise, we wouldn't give up our good life to do this for others."
The whole family begged, "Master, please spare our lives. We will never do it again."
The old man begged for mercy, so they must have asked for it too. If they didn't, they might have really buried them.
But when they begged for mercy, they still looked unwilling and resigned, thinking that there were still people at home outside, and as long as he could get reinforcements, they would be saved. They helped the Wang family so much, he would not just leave them alone, right?
That’s the Wang family. The Wang family has been operating in the north for so many years. How could the Zhou family, which has only been rising for a few years, be willing to fight against them?
Zhou Guo didn't miss the expressions on their faces and looked at Hu Zi, "Did he catch his son?"
Hu Zi waved towards the outside of the house again.
A moment later, two people came in carrying a person and threw him to the ground like a dead pig.
Everyone exclaimed in surprise, and after seeing who it was, the young woman rushed over crying.
This is Old Man Zhang’s son.
He no longer looked like a human. There was not a single piece of healthy flesh on his face. It was covered in bruises and purples. His hands and feet were twisted in strange ways, obviously having been broken. His body was covered in blood.
The others were so timid that they peed their pants, and their bodies were shaking like sieves, fearing that Zhou Guo would treat them the same way.
Old man Zhang looked at his son like this and tried to check his son's breath with trembling hands.
The servants brought a basin of water and poured it on the old ladies, who had fainted, and they woke up.
Old man Zhang pulled his son who had just woken up to kowtow to Zhou Guo, "Boss, we were wrong, wrong."
The old lady moved her arms and screamed like a pig being slaughtered, and her family members covered her mouth fiercely.
The bloody man slowly regained consciousness. He looked at the surroundings, his face turned pale, and his body began to tremble. He pulled Old Man Zhang's sleeves and cried like rain: "Daddy, daddy, daddy, save me. I didn't mean to do this. They forced me to do this. I had no choice. I didn't mean to betray my boss."
What he said was clear, but with this body, he couldn't even stand up straight.
