Quickly Wear the Face of the Devil

Chapter 5.10

After Zhang Jia Rui went back, he searched for all sorts of excuses to punish the Zhu family.

First, he claimed that a Zhu family servant was bullying the villagers and was lawless, but when he arrested them and brought them to the government office for trial, he found out that the wicked servant was Zhu Lao Si's henchman who had already been ousted by Zhu Zi Yu. The servant's actions were absolutely not the Zhu family's responsibility.

Later, someone reported that the nobility had tampered with the standard weight and hu (ancient measuring vessel) when collecting rent, and was suspected of embezzling taxes from the court. Zhang Jia Rui sent his men to investigate. The result was that the great noble Li and Wang families really were tampering with the rent, only the Zhu family were honest and respectable.

After repeatedly investigating several cases, anything related to the Zhu family and anything unrelated to the Zhu family, not only was the Zhu family's 'House of Benevolence' plaque not taken down, he actually made Zhu Zi Yu's clean reputation spread further. Zhang Jia Rui was so angry that he was sleepless for several nights. He grew deeply resentful of Zhu Zi Yu, vowing to destroy the Zhu family.

After a month of this, Qin Ce eventually returned to the capital severely wounded. If the imperial physicians hadn't administered anesthesia to him to help clean the wound on his abdomen that was already festering, he probably would've rushed straight to Qing Min County.

"This box must be personally delivered to Zi Yu today." He carefully instructed Yucheng before falling into a coma.

Yucheng didn't dare slack off, he personally carried the box and rode a horse to the Zhu residence.

"General, quickly come in, dare I ask why you have come in such a hurry?" Zhou Yun Sheng was very pleasantly surprised to see his visitor.

"Please accept this box, Zhu Gongzi." Yucheng placed the box on the table, a strong smell of blood spread in the air.

Zhou Yun Sheng felt his heart shift and he immediately untied the knot and opened the lid. Shockingly, there was a human head inside. Tweety and Lu-shi repeatedly screamed in fright, but Zhou Yun Sheng pressed his palms together and laughed.

This person had a Dapeng tattoo on his neck, it was the legendary leader of the Luo Shui Mountain Bandits, Wang Zhan Peng. He was also the murderer of Zhu Zi Yu's father. Finally, the two hundred thousand catties of food were not given in vain.

Zhou Yun Sheng let out a relieved breath and smiled slightly at Yucheng, "General Yu, this kindness, I will always remember it." After only a brief mention that day, this man had actually taken the matter to heart. After settling the imperial court, he immediately rushed to Luo Shui to get revenge for him. He even took the trouble to personally come deliver the head. For no rhyme or reason, how could he be so thorough?

Could he really be the man he was looking for?

Heart overflowing with heat, Zhou Yung Sheng suddenly pressed the sturdy man into the chair, taking advantage of the short moment while he was stunned to slip his tongue into the other man's mouth, stirring and sucking.

Yucheng was stupefied, wanting to push back but feeling powerless. Zhu Gongzi's kissing skill was too superb, it seemed to suck out his soul.

Zhou Yun Sheng's soul didn't feel the slightest bit of that familiar throbbing. Yucheng wasn't the man he was looking for. How could this be? Zhou Yun Sheng narrowed his eyes, slowly stopping his tongue exploration. He took a few steps back and cupped his hands, "General Yu, I've offended you. If you please." He thrust his hand out, indicating that the other man should leave.
