Chapter 786: Prefect Zhou's Fate

Chapter 786 The fate of Prefect Zhou

King Cheng looked at Cao Zhoumu who was kneeling below him with a cold expression, and he snorted slightly in his heart. The Cao family were indeed a bunch of treacherous foxes, and it was really difficult for people to catch them in their wrongdoings.

He deliberately suppressed not giving Zhou Zhifu a chance to speak, originally thinking that Cao Zhoumu would definitely raise objections and speak for Zhou Zhifu, so that he could naturally use Zhou Zhifu to cause the Cao family to suffer.

Unexpectedly, Cao Zhoumu didn't say a word during the whole process, leaving him no chance to have an attack.

"Since I know that I have committed the crime of negligence, I will be fined for one year. I hope Cao Zhoumu will learn from it in the future. If such problems occur again, I will doubt Cao Zhoumu's ability."

King Cheng spoke calmly.

Caozhou Mu responded repeatedly and said yes.

King Cheng did not ask him to get up. He seemed to have forgotten him and turned his head to make a judgment on Magistrate Zhou.

Prefect Zhou was sentenced to death, all property of the Zhou family was confiscated, the men were exiled to the frontier, and the women were sold into slavery.

Immediately after the verdict, Magistrate Zhou collapsed to the ground.

Hundreds of sufferers in the hall knelt on the ground and shouted, "Become a king for a thousand years." Even the people watching at the door excitedly shouted "A thousand years old" along with them.

Si Qing squatted in the crowd and opened her mouth, but she felt very unhappy. She really hated this feeling. In the past, others would kneel to her, but now she had to squat on the ground and pretend to kneel.

Hey, if only everyone was as easy to fool as Magistrate Zhao, then she could stand and talk.

On the day of the execution by the prefect of Zhou, Mr. Wu and Chen Xiaohe rushed to the vegetable market to watch him beheaded.

Only Si Qing and Xiao Yifeng did not go, and they took the opportunity to go to Li's Clothing Village to meet Li Daya.

When Shopkeeper Li saw Si Qing coming, he hurriedly invited him into the inner room. He smiled brightly, poured tea, prepared cakes, and even asked Si Qing to pick two of his favorite ingredients.

Seeing that Shopkeeper Li was so attentive, Si Qing knew that he must have something to ask for, so he asked him directly: "What does Shopkeeper Li have to say?"

Shopkeeper Li suddenly felt a little embarrassed and stammered: "Miss Si, to be honest, I do have something important to do. News came from our cloth office recently that something went wrong and the Yunjin Conference will be postponed.

It starts in August, so…”

"Shopkeeper Li, do you want Li Daya to stay for two more months?" Si Qing said concisely and to the point.

Shopkeeper Li nodded repeatedly.

Si Qing had a half-smile on his face and looked at Shopkeeper Li: "The shopkeeper seems a little dishonest. I guess you didn't learn about these things in the past two days, right? Why didn't you send me a message? If it weren't for me

You just happened to come to Buzhuang, don’t you know nothing?”

Shopkeeper Li smiled awkwardly: "Miss Si is smart, and I can't hide anything from you. This matter is indeed my fault. I made an agreement with you before to return at the right time, but I didn't expect this change.

I really didn’t know how to tell him, so I delayed it.”

Si Qing listened to Shopkeeper Li's explanation, rolled his eyes disdainfully, kicked his calves and said, "Shopkeeper Li, I'm not a child anymore. I'm seven years old now, do you know?"

Shopkeeper Li:......

"Uh, yes."

"So shopkeeper Li, don't think you can deceive me casually. I won't tell you more about what happened before. Since you want to keep Li Daya for two more months, shouldn't you also talk about the money for these two months?

Say." Si Qing crossed his little arms and continued to speak.

Shopkeeper Li smiled and nodded: "That's true. Miss Si, how much do you think we should pay for these two months?"

"Ten taels of silver, after all, it's not easy for you to do business." Si Qing stretched out his little hand and gestured.
