"You... who are you?" Although Zhou Tai had never dealt with Xu Yaoting before, after listening to the conversation between Wandong and Qu Sanping, he had vaguely guessed Wandong's identity, which gave him some confidence. The disadvantage is that his speaking voice is very weak and fluttery.
"Who are you?" Wandong asked coldly.
"I am General Zhou Tai!"
"Are you a general? Hum... people who don't know, would think you are a bandit! Let me ask you, why did you attack Mr. Qu?"
"Committing murder? You are mistaken. I did not commit murder. I was hunting down the gangsters!"
"Who is the rebel?" Wandong asked coldly.
"Of course it's Qu Sanping! He colluded with Qiu Wanli and was Qiu Wanli's best friend. This is known to everyone!" Zhou Tai said confidently.
"How can you really be flattered by your enemies? Isn't it common knowledge?"
"How can he be compared with my uncle? My uncle endured the humiliation and pretended to be flattering, but he was actually an undercover agent!"
"Your uncle is allowed to be an undercover agent, but others are not allowed to be undercover agents? How do you know that Master Qu is not just pretending to be flattered by committing himself to Qiu Wanli? You keep saying that Master Qu is a rebel, let me ask you, do you have any evidence?"
"I..." When Zhou Tai heard that He Zhen said that he wanted him to arrest Qu Sanping, he immediately acted impatiently. How could he bother to collect any evidence? Wandong immediately stopped him when he asked.
"I'm asking you something, why don't you answer? Are you deaf or mute?!"
In front of so many people, Zhou Tai felt humiliated by being scolded by Wandong like this, and immediately became angry. He shouted directly at Wandong, "What's so great about you? Don't think that you can be so arrogant and domineering just because King Dingshan is backing you!"
"Arrogant and domineering? Hehe... you are really right, I am arrogant and domineering!" After saying that, Wan Dong's body suddenly leaned forward, his feet slid out smoothly, and his right palm was like a horse, pointing towards Zhou Tai's face Then he fanned over.
With Zhou Tai's little cultivation, it was okay to bully Qu Sanping, but in front of Wan Dong, he was worse than a newborn baby. There was no chance to dodge and resist, and with a snap, he was hit hard.
Wan Dong's slap was countless times more severe than Zhou Tai's. This slap passed away, and Zhou Tai's face was not only swollen, half of his teeth were broken off, and he vomited it all with a mouthful of blood. Zhou Tai turned around three times before standing still stupidly.
Rubbing his palms together, Wandong felt very satisfied! If you think about it carefully, it has been a long time since he slapped someone like this. Don't tell me, although Zhou Tairen is not doing well this time, his face is still very touching.
"You...you dare to hit me? Brothers, come here and kill this bitch!" Zhou Tai is also a fierce man. When he got angry, he didn't care about Wandong's identity and started shouting on the spot, non-stop Let out bursts of hysterical roars.
The officers and soldiers under him were accustomed to follow orders and move forward. Wan Dong was cold and stretched out his arms. He just whipped up a strong wind on the ground. In an instant, dozens of officers and soldiers rushed forward. It rolled out more than ten feet and fell heavily to the ground, causing countless people to faint.
"You are blind! This is King Dingshan's only grandson. How many heads do you have?" Qu Sanping roared, clarifying Wandong's identity.
The officers and soldiers who were already frightened by Wandong's power were dumbfounded when they heard Wandong's identity. This time, no matter how loud Zhou Tai's throat was, no one dared to move forward.
What Qu Sanping said was absolutely right. It would not be enough to touch the grandsons of King Dingshan and pay them as well as the heads of their family members.
"Those surnamed Xu and those surnamed Qu, I will punish you today! But I will ask you to settle this account clearly sooner or later!" Seeing Wandong here, it is already difficult to get any advantage. Zhou Tai snorted angrily, said a harsh word, and tried to get away.
It's just that Zhou Tai underestimated Wandong's character, and even ignored the murderous intent reflected in Wandong's eyes.
"Want to leave?" Zhou Taigang got on his horse, but before he could wave his riding whip, Wandong suddenly rushed forward, grabbed him by the lapel of his clothes, and pulled him off the high horse's back.
"Xu, what else do you want to do?" Zhou Tai felt as if his whole body was falling apart after the fall. Naturally, he was furious and shouted at Wan Dong.
Wan Dong sneered, pointed at the guards of Qu Sanping who were killed by Zhou Tai, and asked sharply, "Did you kill these people?"
"So what if I killed him?" Zhou Tai got angry and roared in reply without thinking.
"Very good! So, what crime did they commit that you want to kill them?"
"Collude with the rebellious party and plot to rebel!"
"Where's the evidence?"
Zhou Tai sneered and said, "If you want evidence, just go to my uncle and ask for it. He will give you as much as you want to keep!"
"In other words, you have no evidence?"
Wandong's cold expression made Zhou Tai's heart suddenly freeze. Based on his previous experience, as long as he used He Zhen's name, there would be no trouble. But now he discovered that his uncle didn't seem to have much weight in other people's eyes.
Zhou Tai began to feel faintly uneasy, and argued, "They are all Qu Sanping's subordinates. Doesn't this count as evidence?"
"But I have already said that Master Qu is not a rebel!"
"Hmph, you may not have the final say on this!"
"Of course what I said doesn't count! But Mr. Qu is not a rebel, but a hero. This is what the emperor said himself. Doesn't what his old man said also count?"
"You...what did you say? I don't believe it. I'm going to see my uncle and ask him personally!" Zhou Tairu said in a trembling voice after being struck by lightning.
"You want to see your uncle, but I'm afraid you won't have the chance."
As soon as Wan Dong said this, Zhou Tai's heart sank suddenly as if it had fallen into an abyss. His face suddenly changed and he asked urgently, "What do you mean by this?"
Wan Dong raised his eyebrows and said coldly, "As an official of the imperial court, you killed innocent people on the street. According to the laws of our Qingyun Empire, what crime should you be charged with?"
"You... you have no right to convict me!" Zhou Tai yelled.
Wan Dong smiled coldly and said faintly, "I really don't have the qualifications today. But you are unlucky. Just this morning, during the court meeting, the emperor has made me a Young Marquis. As a Marquis, I should have the right to convict you, right?" "
"Young Marquis?!" Zhou Tai's eyes immediately widened, and his face was even more horrified.
Not only Zhou Tai, but also Qu Sanping was surprised and happy. Although he thought that the emperor would definitely reward Wandong for his great contribution this time, he did not expect that the emperor would be so generous. Young Hou, what an honor is this? !
"Beat heroes and kill innocent people indiscriminately. If you don't die, who will die?" Ignoring Zhou Tai's increasingly pale face, Wan Dong stared into his eyes and shouted step by step.
"You... you don't dare to kill me! My uncle will never let you kill me, never!"
"Your uncle? Not to mention that your uncle is not here, even if he is here, you will definitely die!"
"I don't believe you dare to kill me! I want to see my uncle!" He Zhen shook his head vigorously and got on his horse again.
Wan Dong snorted coldly, and suddenly swept out his right palm with a flat chest. A golden light was like a sword, extremely sharp and unstoppable. With a whooshing sound, the head on Zhou Tai's neck had left his neck, like a rubber ball. rolled to the ground. Zhou Tai's body on the horse was unable to fall off the horse until he had run several feet away.
The arrogant Zhou Tai died in Wan Dong's hands. All the officers and soldiers under him looked at each other, but no one dared to come forward to cause trouble for Wan Dong.
Even Qu Sanping was shocked by Wandong's methods. It took him a long time to come back to his senses and said with worry, "Yao Ting, you shouldn't have killed Zhou Tai."
Wan Dong said, "Then Zhou Tai humiliated you, Mr. Qu, so much. If I didn't kill him, how could I be worthy of you and my wife? Even my conscience would not be at peace."
Wandong's words could be said to be deeply affectionate, which greatly moved Qu Sanping and Mrs. Qu.
Qu Sanping said emotionally, "Yao Ting, I, Qu Sanping, can make a friend like you in this life, even if I die, I will have no regrets!"
Mrs. Qu also bowed to Wandong and said, "I have long heard Sanping talk about Master Xu's character and heart. When I saw it today, it was really fascinating! Our family will always remember Master Xu's kindness to my husband." of."
Wan Dong waved his hands hurriedly and said with a smile, "Master Xu is not Master Xu. Madam is out of touch! If you don't dislike it, just like Master Qu, just call me Yaoting."
"Yao Ting, you killed Zhou Tai today, I'm afraid He Zhen won't let you go."
Wan Dong sneered and said, "I am Zhou Tai who was killed according to the laws of the Qingyun Empire. As a first-class official of the imperial court, he should know the stakes! If he has trouble with me because of this, it is enough to prove that he is not No matter how good it is, I won’t let it go!”
Qu Sanping was greatly impressed by Wandong's pride and courage and nodded in praise. Qu Sanping felt much more relaxed when he thought that Wandong was standing behind Xu Wenchuan, and Wandong himself was now a young marquis. Although He Zhen was a first-class official, he might not be able to fight against the Xu family.
"By the way, Mr. Qu, I have reported your merits to the emperor, and the emperor praises you very much. I have approved the reward of Juntian Pawnshop to Mr. Qu. From now on, Juntian Pawnshop will belong to you, Mr. Qu. I also hope that Mr. Qu can manage well and repay the people of the empire."
"Is this... is this true?" Although Wandong had already promised Qu Sanping before, when this day came, Qu Sanping still couldn't help but feel an unreal feeling like being in a dream, and couldn't help but ask more questions. One sentence.
Wandong laughed and said, "How dare I deceive Master Qu about such a big matter? However, the emperor said that Juntian Pawnshop must hint at paying taxes, otherwise he will take the pawnshop back at any time."
"That's what it should be, it should be! Haha..." Qu Sanping said hurriedly with a bright smile. (To be continued)
