I’m The King Chapter 1118: :Continuing the past and ushering in the future (eight)

"Father, mother is calling you to eat!" The curtain leading to the back hall was raised, Zhou Youwei poked out half of his head, and looked at Zhou Fucai. He also relaxed in an instant, turned his head to look at his son, and said, "Okay, Dad will come right away."

Wang Er didn't know that he had already made a turn in front of the gate of the King of Hell just now, so he looked at Zhou Fucai and chattered: "Boss Zhou, your cousin is with the wanted criminals, maybe he is not a good person." , Otherwise, you haven’t seen each other for so many years, why did you suddenly find you, don’t you think so? Forget it, you’re going to eat, I won’t tell you, but I advise you to go to the county government patrol team as soon as possible Just say it over there, and get rid of your relationship."

"Okay, okay, I'll go right after dinner." Zhou Fucai smiled and nodded at Wang Er.

"Well, then I don't worry, Boss Zhou, you are a good person. My old lady has been taking your medicine for the past two years, and she has gradually recovered." Wang Er said goodbye to Zhou Fucai with a smile, turned around and walked out. opened the store.

Looking at Wang Er's back, Zhou Fucai sat down on the chair with a bang, his face extremely ashen. What he thought was seamless was ruined by a seemingly insignificant matter before. It is easy to kill Wang Er, but how will the aftermath be dealt with after killing him, the Overwatch Council will still track him down. At that time, he will only bear one more life.

Standing up, listening to the laughter of his son and his mother in the back room, Zhou Fucai's heart was filled with bitterness. It was full of smiles, "What day is it today, why are there so many dishes?"

"Today is Youwei's eighteenth birthday, you are a real father, you even forgot this!" His wife gave him a reproachful look.

"Oh, that's right, that's right, Youwei is eighteen years old!" Zhou Fucai suddenly realized, "Then we should have a few drinks today and celebrate."

Zhou Fucai turned around and went to the cabinet, and took out a pot of wine from it, "This is a good wine produced by the Wu family, father, I have never been willing to drink it."

"Father, didn't you say that this jug of wine will not be drunk until the day I get married?" Zhou Youwei asked strangely.

"Hey, wasn't our life not very spacious back then? Now that the business is getting better and better, we can afford this wine in the future, right?" Zhou Fucai looked at his son and smiled.

My wife picked up the jug and filled it up for the father and son, "This wine is only less than two catties, and it costs more than ten taels of silver, so Wu's wine is really stealing money!"

Zhou Fucai laughed and said: "The money is a bit expensive, but the wine is also good. Xiu Mo, you can also pour a glass. It is hard for you to follow me all these years. Come on, the three of us have a good drink today A few cups."

"Dad, what's the matter with you today?"

"Old man, are you okay?"

"What can I do!" Zhou Fucai smiled and said, "I'm just happy, happy, I've become an adult, come, drink, drink."

The meal was very enjoyable. After the meal, Zhou Fucai even drove his wife who was slightly drunk to have a rest. He cleaned up the dishes by himself. When I went to the bedroom at the back, I found that my wife had already fallen asleep leaning on the bed.

Zhou Fucai's nose twitched, and he reached out to touch his wife's face, but finally withdrew his hand, walked to the closet in the corner, stretched out his hand to open the door, and took out a small Holding the box in his hand, he walked out of the door slowly, closing the door gently.

In the shop outside, his son Zhou Youwei was lying on the counter, sleeping soundly. Zhou Fucai took a deep breath, carried the suitcase, turned around and walked out of the house resolutely.

Lixian county government, the captain of the patrol team, Ji Gaofeng rushed in, "Master Tang, Mr. Tang, someone came to the patrol team and surrendered, saying that he knew everything about Mao Tao's death, and the matter was his. Made it.”

Tang He jumped up suddenly, "What are you talking about, who is it?"

Ji Gao's eyes were full of puzzlement and shock, "It's Zhou Fucai, the boss of Zhou's drugstore, who is usually the most honest and responsible person. I never thought that he would be involved in it."

"Another pharmacy owner!" Tang He took a deep breath, "Let's go and have a look."

"I'll go too!" Niu Ben stood up.

Zhou Fucai knelt in the patrol room. Behind him, two surveillance guards in black pressed their hands on the handle of the knife and saluted him vigilantly. Tang He and Niu Ben strode in. Niu Ben saw the big case at a glance. The box on the box, the box has been found at this time, revealing a set of needles of all kinds inside.

Niu Ben's eyes were fixed, and he stretched out his hand and pulled out a long needle belt from the box. He looked at the thick or thin, long or short, shining needles on it, and then turned his head to look at it and bowed his head in silence. Zhou Fucai, a little suspicious but with a tentative tone: "Black death needle?"

Zhou Fucai raised his head and looked at Niu Ben, "So it's General Niu Ben!" He smiled wryly.

With a snap, the needle belt in Niu Ben's hand fell to the ground, and with a choke, Niu Ben grabbed the handle of the knife and drew out the saber, "Black Death Needle, you are still alive?"

Tang He stretched out his hand and pressed Niu Ben's hand, "General Niu!"

Niu Ben took a deep breath, "Master Tang, this man is the black death needle in the execution room of Yan Lingwei's headquarters, hehe, very few people have seen him, unexpectedly he is hiding in Li County , Black Death Needle, do you know that Princess Ning has been looking for you for a long time?"

"General Niu, let's talk about this later. The most important thing now is Mao Wei's whereabouts." Tang He turned his body sideways and whispered to Niu Ben. Just wait behind!"

Niu Ben gave Zhou Fucai a hard look, put the knife back into its sheath, and strode away.

"Boss Zhou!" Tang He sat down slowly, "On the way here, I asked Ji Gao about your situation. You have settled in Li County for three years, and you have a son at home. , a wife with a good family background, and her son is even engaged to Lu Yuanwai's daughter, so I don't understand, why do you want to do this?"

"Tan Kang found me and threatened me. If I refused to do it, he would expose my identity. You just saw that if my identity was exposed, people from the Ning family would never I will let me go." Zhou Fucai raised his head and looked at Tang He.

"Tan Kang? What is the relationship with Tan Feng?"

"Tan Kang is Tan Feng's closest bodyguard, this time the action was planned by Tan Feng alone." Zhou Fukang said.

"I don't know one thing." Tang He stared at Zhou Fukang, "Mao Wei's identity is kept secret, how do you know that his work is related to gunpowder?"

"I don't know about that." Zhou Fucai shook his head and said, "I'm only in charge of Mao Tao. As for how Mao Wei's identity is known to Tan Kang and the others, that will not be known until you catch Tan Kang."

"What is Tan Kang's escape route? I want to know, how did they carry out such a long-distance escape with a big living person?"

"They will flee to the direction of Han, and Tan Feng will arrange manpower to support them. Moreover, I heard that the Black Ice Terrace and the Ghost Shadow of Chu State will also have a large number of people to assist them." Zhou Fucai said.

"Zhou Fucai, you surrender yourself. This is a very good start, but if you speak incompletely and untruthfully and delay our major event, you will know the consequences. I hope you will think about this matter clearly."

"I've made it clear a long time ago." Zhou Fucai said in a low voice: "That's all I know. They will flee along Handi, I overheard it by accident, and they don't believe me, so I don't know much about them."

"Okay, if we catch Tan Kang, you'll be making amends!" Tang He nodded, turned around and wanted to leave.

"My lord!" Zhou Fucai suddenly shouted from behind.

Tang He turned around, "Is there anything else?"

"This matter was done by me alone. My old wife and son know nothing about my identity. I hope the adults will not involve them."

"The law of the Han Dynasty has long since abolished the system of consecutive sittings. One person does things and one person is responsible. It will not implicate your family. Of course, they did not participate in this matter." Tang He glanced at him, "immediately He escorted Feng Rui to the headquarters of the Supervisory Council in Jicheng, and immediately led people to seal up the Zhou family drug store and search for relevant evidence."

In the back hall, Niu Ben opened a map, "Fleeing from Lixian County to Handi is a long way away. They could still take the main road at first, but when the wind got tighter, they would inevitably avoid the main road and take some remote paths. So in terms of time, we are completely in time."

"What I'm worried about is that Tan Kang's so-called going to Korea is just a cover. Just now Zhou Fucai said something that Tan Kang doesn't trust him. Since he doesn't trust him, how can he hear such important information? General Niu, we are all in this line of work, can we be so careless?"

Niu Ben was taken aback, "You mean, Tan Kang deliberately let Zhou Fucai hear it, and he was sure that we would catch Zhou Fucai?"

"It doesn't matter whether the calculation is accurate or not, this is just one of his tricks, so we can't let Han land go, but we can't ignore the other road, General Niu, if you were Tan Kang, you would take that road The road? Except the road in Handi?" Tang He asked.

"If it were me, I would go to Qidi, turn to Linyi, and go to the Kangping City area. The war there has just stopped, the order is chaotic, the bandits are rampant, and the government has not been able to organize a decent management. It is the best way to escape. Route." Niuben Road.

Tang He raised his head and stared at him with bright eyes.

"Do you think Tan Kang will go this way?" Niu Ben said.

"I guess so."

"That's good, I'll go after Han, and you lead people in this direction. It's a two-pronged approach. Coupled with the assistance of the garrison everywhere, I'm not afraid that he can fly to the sky." Niu Ben slapped the table and said.

Outside Zhou's drugstore, there were crowds of onlookers. Ji Gao led the patrol team to maintain order, while Feng Rui led the surveillance guards to search the house. Zhou Youwei supported his mother, shivering. Stand on one side.

Wang Er looked at this scene in astonishment, and after a long while, he stopped Ji Gao and asked, "Captain Ji, what's wrong with the boss this week?"

"This week the boss is an enemy spy." Ji Gao said angrily. (To be continued)
