If you don't bring disaster to the world, what kind of henchman are you to be?

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yunsheng's face turned deathly pale, and his eyes widened in terror.

Faced with Zhu Qing's sharp gaze, he didn't even have the courage to meet her eyes.

"I, I..."

"My lord, I misspoke while drunk. I was wrong, I'm not human!"

Zhou Yunsheng stammered as he spoke, while his mother, Zhou Shi, anxiously tried to smooth things over. The mother and son were on the verge of tears.

Zhu Qing remained unmoved and coldly said, "You speak the truth when you're drunk. It seems you've had a problem with my sister for a while now."

"No, no!"

Zhou Yunsheng was so frightened that he knelt down with a thud, his legs trembling: "Lord Zhu, I was just momentarily bewitched, I... I deserve to be punished!"

After saying that, he slapped himself hard across the face, so hard that half of his face suddenly swelled up.

"Don't stop, I'll teach you a lesson." Zhu Qing glared at him.

"Yes, yes, yes! Learn from your mistake!"

Zhou Yunsheng used both hands to beat himself up, and in just a few blows, he had a bruised and swollen face, which made Lu Zhoushi, who was watching from the side, frown.

As the family of the county magistrate, one of the most powerful clans in Qingshui County, when had they ever been treated like this?

No matter how arrogant they were before, they were all utter nonsense in front of Zhu Qing now.

Who is that person?

The 20-year-old captain of the Northern Garrison Command, a seventh-rank official in the capital, was sent by the imperial court to deal with the White Lotus Rebellion.

It's no exaggeration to say that with just a few words, they could decide the fate of the entire Zhou family.

Who wouldn't be afraid?

"This is……"

At that moment, Zhou Ze, who had just left the county government office and returned home, saw this scene as soon as he entered the door and was immediately stunned.

Zhu Qing looked up at him: "My brother-in-law was drunk and said something inappropriate, but he's sober now."

Zhou Ze turned his head and glanced at Zhou Yunsheng, whose head had been beaten into a pig's head, and immediately understood everything.

"Damn unfilial son!"

"I told you long ago to treat Miaomiao well; what a wonderful daughter-in-law she is!"

As he spoke, he suddenly kicked a few times, his eyes filled with anxiety.

Zhou Yunsheng cried loudly and tried to dodge in a disheveled manner.

"Father, I know I was wrong!"

"I really know I was wrong!"

"You bastard, I'll beat you to death!"

Zhou Ze was so angry that his beard stood on end.

When Zhu Qing arrived in Qingshui County, he sent someone home to inform his family of the news, so that they could be prepared.

But who knew that in the end Zhu Qing was still dissatisfied. This rebellious son who almost pushed the whole family into the fire pit, he really had the thought of beating him to death.

"To know one's mistakes and correct them is the greatest virtue."

Zhu Qing didn't want to watch the show anymore, and after she spoke, the courtyard quickly fell silent.

Seeing this, Zhou Ze finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "Hurry up and thank Master Zhu!"

"Thank you, Master Zhu! Thank you..."

Zhou Yunsheng, with a pig's head on his head, mumbled incoherently.

Zhu Qing held the scabbard against his chin and slowly raised it.

"To be honest, I wanted to kill you just now."

"But I don't want my sister to become a widow, so I'll spare your life for now. If I ever find out that my sister has suffered even the slightest injustice, your whole family will die."

"You should know how well-informed my Northern Garrison is, right?"

Zhou Yunsheng nodded repeatedly, not finding any exaggeration in Zhu Qing's words.

The Embroidered Uniform Guard was ordered by the Emperor to supervise the court and the entire country. The Northern Garrison was the most outstanding among them. Moreover, this was right under the Emperor's nose, so nothing could be hidden from them.

Zhu Qing then turned her gaze to Zhu Miao, who was somewhat dumbfounded, and said, "Sister, from now on you're in charge of this household."

After saying that, he took out a bag of silver from his pocket and threw it to her: "This is a gift for my niece."

After saying that, he turned and walked to the door.

Zhu Miao held the heavy money bag in his hand, which was worth at least a hundred taels, and remained in a daze for a long time.

Is this really the younger brother I know?

In her memory, her younger brother had always been sensible and obedient, and very polite to everyone.

But today, he's acting all high and mighty here, extremely tough, as if he's a completely different person.

Zhu Miao's chest rose and fell slowly, then she quickly said, "Xiao Qing, you've already given me the gift!"

"This time it was me who gave it to you."

Zhu Qing's voice was distant and resonant as she walked out of the Zhou residence.

The night was dark and the starlight was dim.

He led the horse, his expression somber as he walked.

This trip to the Zhou residence made Zhu Qing realize once again the significance of his official position.

Without this skin, Zhu Miao's life in the Zhou family would have been very difficult.

The strong prey on the weak; this is a world that highly values ​​strength.

Strength, status, official position.

If you don't want to be bullied, you have to climb over them!

……

For the remaining two days, Zhu Qing and the others inquired about the White Lotus Sect in Qingshui County.

The latter seemed to have learned that an imperial envoy had appeared in Qingshui County, so he stopped making a fuss. In the end, the people from the Northern Garrison only managed to gather some minor details.

Fortunately, the bandit leader of Black Bear Mountain didn't hold back for long...

That evening, outside Lichun Courtyard in Qingshui County.

Zhu Qing walked to a locust tree by the door. Because it was a secret arrest, he was not wearing official clothes, but just an ordinary black and gray long robe.

"Xiao Qi".

"Big brother, third brother, have they arrived yet?"

Guo Zhendong nodded, crossed his arms, and said in a low voice, "Hei San and his men entered Lichun Courtyard half an hour ago."

"This is a portrait. Make sure you recognize it. Later, it's better to kill ten innocent people than let one guilty person escape."

After saying that, he handed over several quick sketches. Zhu Qing looked at them carefully, memorized the features of these people, and then put them away.

Zhang Sanshi, squatting on the roadside with his hands in his sleeves, stared at several windows on the second floor for a long time before asking, "Have the brothers finished setting everything up?"

Zhu Qing replied, "It's all arranged according to plan. Our people are all around the Lichun Courtyard."

Zhang Sanshi nodded his chin almost imperceptibly, then stood up.

"Third brother, now that you've reached the Flesh Refining Realm, you can stay outside and keep watch. Seventh brother, come with me to capture the person."

"yes!"

Zhu Qing waved his hand gently, and four small flags behind him emerged from the shadows, following the two of them toward the Lichun Courtyard.

"Oh, gentlemen, you look unfamiliar..."

When the madam at the door saw this group of men approaching, she instinctively started to flaunt her charms to welcome them.

Zhu Qing and his group ignored them completely and forced their way in.

The room was packed with guests and bustling with activity. As soon as people entered, many vulgar women clung to them.

"Who are you looking for, sir?"

"This old man is so handsome, I'm really envious."

A heavily made-up woman wearing a thin, low-cut top and trembling hands held Zhu Qing's hand, her eyes lingering on him with almost drooling desire.

"Sir, how about tonight..."

Zhu Qing was so annoyed by her that she gave a signal, and Qian Wei, who was standing next to her, understood immediately and his eyes suddenly turned fierce.

呲~

The long sword was suddenly drawn, and the cold blade was placed directly against the woman.

"Get lost!"

"When the Northern Garrison is handling a case, all bystanders must retreat; otherwise, they will be killed without exception!"

As soon as the long sword was drawn, those troublesome demons instantly became docile, and their alluring eyes became crystal clear.

On the other side, Zhu Qing also drew his long sword, leaped up to the second floor, and kicked open the door in front of him with a bang.

The room was brightly lit by candlelight, and a shirtless man was drinking with two women when a sudden loud noise made him tremble.

Upon closer inspection, he saw that the newcomer was holding a long knife, and he recognized it almost instantly as an official's knife.

Police!
