“That’s right, Zhou Changsheng. Let me tell you. We came to An Ding County to investigate whether you hid the cherry from my father. I’m warning you. You’d better hand it over immediately. Otherwise, the crime of lying to my father will be enough to make you suffer, Lord Zhou.”
These 50 catties of cherries were related to his father’s official career. Of course, they had to do it well.
Zhou Changsheng restrained his expression and said very seriously to the Ji brothers, “Young masters, are you suggesting that I’ve been keeping cherry for myself and not handing it over? ”
Then, his face darkened, and he said in a sharp tone, ” I wonder if Lord Ji has the same thoughts? If that’s the case, then I’m too disappointed. Lord Ji is my superior, and I have to carry out his orders. Lord Ji wants the 50 catties of cherries. If there are still more, I’ll do anything to get them.
“However, I can’t even get one catty of the cherry because there’s no more of it. How do you expect me to get a hundred catties? Do you think they’ll just appear out of thin air with just a few words?”
He would never admit that they had questioned his intentions.

Zhou Changsheng nodded and said, ” yes.”
“Impossible!” Ji Changxuan didn’t believe him at all. “Who would believe that this thing is gone in just a few days? ” ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ N(o)vel(F)ire
Ordinary fruits could last for more than a month. Some fruits with thick peels and that did not rot easily could last for several months.
Why was the consumption period of cherries so short?
Zhou Changsheng said seriously, ” whether you believe it or not, this is the truth. If you don’t believe me, you can ask around and see if anyone else has bought cherries.”
The two young masters immediately looked a little dejected.
However, even though they were here for the cherry, their main purpose was to have a good time.
…
The moment Zhou Wencai arrived in Beijing, he didn’t head straight to the Zhou family’s residence to make his presence known. Instead, he went to…
Zhou Wencai came to the general’s residence’s entrance and scanned his surroundings with a sharp gaze. After confirming that no one was paying attention to him, he raised his hand and knocked on the general’s residence door.
A moment later, the door was pulled open, and a young servant walked out. He asked, ” who are you looking for? ”
Zhou Wencai said, ” I’m here to find the defender-general of the state!
The servant looked at his travel-worn appearance and asked suspiciously, “Who are you? Why are you looking for my master?”
Zhou Wencai reported his name and said, ” I’m Zhou Wencai. I’m an old acquaintance of the defender General. Can I trouble you to inform him? ”
When the servant heard that his surname was Zhou, he asked doubtfully, “Your surname is Zhou. Could you be a member of the Zhou family? ”

“Oh, ” the manservant replied, then said, ” then wait a moment. I’ll go and report.”
As soon as the manservant closed the door and walked into the courtyard, he ran into Guo Bing, who had just come out from inside. After the manservant greeted Guo Bing, he hurriedly left.
The other manservant who was guarding the door saw that Guo Bing was about to leave and hurriedly opened the door. Guo Bing immediately noticed Zhou wencai standing at the door.
Zhou Wencai also saw Guo Bing, and he was very surprised.
In the past, he only knew that this person was Jiang Zhennan’s subordinate, but he did not know who he was. Moreover, they did not have much communication before.
Now that he saw Guo Bing coming out of the general’s residence very contentedly, he opened his mouth wide and pointed at Guo Bing. “you, you, you, you, you… ”
Guo Bing immediately stepped forward and said with a smile, ” I say, young master Zhou, it’s only been a few days since we last met. How did you become a stutterer? ”
As he said this, although he was smiling, his eyes were full of vigilance. His sharp eyes looked around, and when he was sure that no one had noticed, he turned back and said to the manservant, “Let young master Zhou in. He and the general are old acquaintances!”
The servant immediately replied, ” this way, young master!”
Zhou Wencai walked into the general residence in a daze. Then, he suddenly said in shock, ” you’re the young master of Duke Guo’s estate, Guo Bing, aren’t you? I’ve heard that young master Guo is the great general’s subordinate.”
