The two people talking, one tall and one short, were drinking tea in the teahouse and talking about the Zhou family.
The tall man lowered his head and said, "Brother, should we go back after we finish the work here?"
The short man said: "How can it be so easy? There are still seven days before the Zhou family will be questioned and executed, and several of the Zhou family's children have not been caught yet. The higher-ups have told us that this matter must be ensured to be absolutely foolproof."
The tall man said: "Hey, there is nothing wrong. Zhou Renjun has been arrested. Now the Zhou family is at its end. The grasshoppers after the autumn have been struggling for a few days."
The short man winked and said, "There are a lot of people here, so if you have anything to do, we'll talk about it when we get back."
The short man drank all the tea in the bowl in one gulp, tilted his head and said, "Let's go."
Zhou Rui thought that there must be something wrong with these two people, so he followed them, trying to see clearly what they were going to do.
The two men returned to an inn, and Zhou Rui followed them. When the two men entered the house, they secretly lay outside the door to listen to what the two men wanted to say.
Inside the house, the tall man said: "Brother, the Ma family and the Yin family are really ruthless, they can actually uproot the Zhou family."
The short man said: "What do you know? This matter has been planned for a long time. The Zhou family has been able to survive until now."
"Then the big tree in the Zhou family falls down, shouldn't it be time for us to get up?"
"Hehe, keep working hard, maybe one day we two brothers will be able to succeed."
Zhou Rui became angrier as he listened outside the house, and kicked the door open.
"Bang!"
The door was kicked open, and both people in the room were surprised.
The short man shouted loudly: "Who is so bold!"
Zhou Rui didn't answer and quickly pulled out the thin sword from his waist.
Before the two of them could see Zhou Rui's movements clearly, the tall man had already been knocked away by Zhou Rui's palm.
When the short man wanted to take action, the thin sword in Zhou Rui's hand was already placed on the man's neck.
Cold sweat broke out on the short man's head. He put the knife on his neck and did not dare to move. He muttered: "Hero, spare your life. We two brothers have no grievances against you. Please show mercy to me."
Zhou Rui sneered and said, "If you want me not to kill you, just tell me everything you know."
As soon as the short man heard Zhou Rui's words, he understood in his heart, but he pretended to be confused and asked: "I wonder what the hero is asking about?"
Zhou Rui thrust his sword hard and said, "Of course it's a matter of the Zhou family."
The short man poked his head slightly, trying to get a clear look at Zhou Rui.
Zhou Rui hurriedly pushed down the straw hat and said loudly: "Speak quickly if you want to survive!"
The short man looked at Zhou Rui's expression and said, "You are from the Zhou family."
“So what if it’s yes, so what if it’s not?”
The short man also sneered and said: "Now everyone in the Zhou family has been caught, and those who escaped by chance are in danger. I didn't expect that someone like you would throw yourself into a trap."
"Stop talking nonsense, I just heard you talking about the Ma family and the Yin family. What on earth is going on?"
This short man is a smart man. Listening to Zhou Rui's immature voice and looking at his figure, he can roughly guess that Zhou Rui is a member of the younger generation of the Zhou family.
"Hmph, it's okay to tell you. This time the Zhou family was beheaded, all thanks to the Ma family and the Yin family!"
"What are you talking about, are they causing trouble behind your back?" Zhou Rui asked the fat man in front of him in surprise.
"Yes, the Zhou family has always disagreed with these two matters. This time, the Ma family spent a lot of money to wipe out all the Zhou family. Once the Zhou family died, the Ma family was naturally the largest among the eight families. I don't need to elaborate on the reason why.
Say more."
Zhou Rui gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Shameless Ma family, I will cut you into pieces!"
Looking back, Zhou Rui glanced at the short man again and said, "Then why did you come here to frame the Zhou family? Are you also involved?"
The short man hurriedly begged for mercy and said: "Hero, spare your life. We two brothers were just instigated by others. This frame-up really has nothing to do with us."
Seeing that he couldn't ask any more questions, Zhou Rui took back the sword in his hand and kicked the dwarf.
"Those who are pure will be cleansed themselves. No one can try to slander the reputation of my Zhou family! I will let you go today. If I see you doing anything wrong, I will definitely kill you with one sword."
Zhou Rui turned around and left the inn room, taking a small path to escape the crowd.
The tall man in the room patted the dirt on his body and asked, "Brother, why don't you catch it with your skill?"
The short man snorted coldly and said: "If the Zhou family doesn't leave anyone alive, how will we eradicate the Ma family and Yin family in the future? Use your brain and think carefully!"
