Zhou Ji is located in Xianfang in the south, and Zhou Mansion is in the east of the city.
Zhou Zheng left the Zhou Ji, crossed the bridge, and walked towards the east of the city.
Many of the roads are avenues, but there are also many alleys. Zhou Zheng walks on the main road. Although the sky is dark, there are a lot of lights on every house. The road is endless, so there is no need to worry about someone committing crimes.
The burly man and the others followed behind and separated in twos and threes, not so dazzling.
The thin man followed behind the strong man and whispered: "Brother Liu, this surname Zhou Ming knows that we are staring at him, and he dares to walk the night alone. Didn't he have an ambush?"
The brawny man snorted slightly, and said, "Don't worry, the Seventh Young Master has arranged it. Someone is staring at the procuratorate. As long as there is any movement, I will know immediately."
The thin man was still really worried, and said: "He won't have other people, right?"
The brawny man said, "Don't worry, the people from Shuntian Mansion are behind. If you fight, you can grab it directly. It's justified."
The thin man was relieved when he heard this, and said flatly: "No wonder the Seventh Young Masters value Brother Liu, Brother Liu is doing everything safely!"
The brawny man didn't seem to hear him, his eyes fixed on Zhou Zheng's back, he didn't dare to relax a little bit, for fear of being lost.
Zhou Zheng didn't seem to notice anyone behind him, and he walked calmly as usual. He even bought a box of shortbread cookies at a pastry shop, ready to go back to make supper.
Zhou Zheng turned around a road and was plunged into darkness. The light was only so small that he couldn't even see the road.
The burly man stared at Zhou Zheng's back, looking at the long black road, with a ruthless expression, and said: "This is it, knock him stunned, put him in a sack, and take him away!"
When the thin man heard this, his face became more ruthless, and said: "Okay!"
After speaking, four or five people walked forward quickly, chasing Zhou Zheng.
On the dark and silent road, the crowded footsteps of these people were particularly noticeable and it was frightening.
Without looking back, Zhou Zheng continued to move forward.
The thin man sneered, already raising the stick in his hand and staring at the back under Zhou Zheng's neck.
This kind of weak scholar would definitely faint by knocking on a stick.
"Stop for me!"
Suddenly, the four people rushed out of the darkness in front of Zhou Zheng, holding a short crossbow in their hands, and shouted.
The leader is the young man with a frivolous look. At this moment, he has no frivolous color, but his face is indifferent.
The thin man and the others were startled, looking at the young man, looking at the short crossbow in their hands, his face changed slightly, but he did not retreat for the first time.
Several people were on guard and confronted the young man.
The strong man behind him quickly followed, looking at the young man and the short crossbow in their hands, his face solemn, and said, "Who are you?"
The short crossbow is something that ordinary people can't get, and it is still shining with the color of black gold in the dark, which is even more extraordinary!
The young man did not speak, and turned to look at Zhou Zheng, who had already turned around and walked over.
Zhou Zheng looked at the middle-aged man and said, "Guess it, you should be able to guess it."
The middle-aged man had a bad feeling in his heart when he saw this short crossbow, his heart flew around, his eyes suddenly widened, and he lost his voice: "Jin Yiwei?"
Zhou Zheng showed a smile on his face and said: "Are you going to catch it with your hands, or should I show off the power of this short crossbow first?"
The brawny man quickly suppressed his panic, looked at the four short crossbows, and sneered: "You can shoot down four of us at most, what can you do to us?"
call out
As soon as his voice fell, four short crossbows shot out, and before the screams came out, the four men clenched their hands and feet, and a short arrow went up again.
"what… "
As if they were ready, the four people on both sides of the strong man screamed, and then fell to the ground screaming. Some of them were shot in the chest, shoulders, and some in the legs.
When the strong man saw it, his expression was ugly, he looked at the remaining eight people, and then at the five people opposite Zhou Zheng, his eyes flashed, and his heart was angry and hateful.
The people behind him didn't have any'weapons', looking at the screaming companions on the ground, they couldn't help but feel a little scared and wanted to retreat.
Zhou Zheng looked at the brawny man with an indifferent expression, and said: "Turn your back, hold your head in your hands, and squat down, otherwise you will try another arrow!"
The burly man looked at the arrows gleaming with cold light, and was mad with hatred in his heart.
He has never encountered such a situation, so weak. Don't say that you can't work hard now, even if you recruit the servants of Shuntian Palace, those servants dare not offend Jin Yiwei!
He hates himself too much, carelessly. Those guys in Zhou Ji are coming in and out. It must be Zhou Zheng who is communicating with Jin Yiwei. If he was followed by others, he might be able to find out instead of the current situation!
The thin man stood tremblingly beside the strong man, staring at the short crossbow cautiously, then turned to look at the strong man, his face was pale, his lips squirming and he dared not speak.
The brawny man looked at Zhou Zheng, took a deep breath, and said with an ugly expression: "Zhou Yushi, I admit that I underestimated you, but we Seventh Young Master is not something you can afford. What happened today will not happen. We will How about the well water not invading the river water?"
Zhou Zheng shouted loudly: "Either surrender, or I will shoot again, you choose yourself!"
The young man next to Zhou Zheng sneered and said, "These people actually want to kill our adults in Huai'an Mansion, Zhou Yushi, I don’t think I should keep them. I will give the bodies to their seven young men. What kind of waves can they make in the capital!"
Jin Yiwei is now a fierce reputation, not to mention some unnecessary thugs, that is, six officials, twelve have been killed!
Jin Yiwei’s Tiqi arrested people in the Suzhou-Hangzhou area last year. There were countless deaths, and the brawny didn’t know.
Listening to Zhou Zheng and the young man's words, and then looking at the fear on the faces of the people around him, he knew that it would be useless to continue, which only increased casualties.
The strong man looked at Zhou Zheng, gritted his teeth and said, "Zhou Zhengyun, you will regret it!"
After speaking, he took the initiative to squat down, put his head in his hands, and turned around.
When the thin man saw him, he quickly put down the stick and squatted down with his head.
Others were also afraid of Jin Yiwei, and squatted down carrying Zhou Zheng and others with their heads on their backs.
The young man looked at a person beside him and motioned him to step forward.
The man put away the short crossbow, took out the handcuffs, and handcuffed them one by one.
The young man stepped forward, pulled up the strong man, and said, "Go!"
The strong man turned his head and looked at Zhou Zheng and said in a deep voice: "Zhou Yushi, you can't afford the Seventh Young Master, I hope you know the current affairs, otherwise you will regret it!"
Zhou Zheng looked at him and said lightly: "I'll go back to see him later and see if he can make me regret it."
The strong man's face changed drastically, and he said anxiously: "Zhou Zhengyun, you can't move the Seventh Young Master! You can't afford the Seventh Young Master. If you do, you will regret it! I promise you will regret it!"
Zhou Zheng wanted to take advantage of the seven young masters, try the depth of the muddy water in the salt class, and said without moving his face: "You still think about whether Wei Xizhuang will let you go after he comes back."
The strong man wanted to say something more. The young man pushed and said, "I'll have what you said later, let's go!"
The strong man looked anxious and wanted to resist, but his hands were handcuffed and he could only be taken away by Zhou Zheng and his party.
The injured were directly chained with handcuffs and dragged away abruptly.
The screams of these people have long attracted the attention of many people.
Not far away, there was a group of government servants hiding in the darkness, and the hob meat was the leader. Seeing Zhou Zheng and others grabbed more than a dozen strong men, they just didn't move.
A servant next to him looked at him and said, "Head, don't we care?"
Hob Meat watched Zhou Zheng and the others disappear into the darkness, turned his head and slapped him, and said, "The gods fight, and the mortals suffer. Did you forget it the other day?"
That Ya Ya nodded his head again and again, did not dare to speak, but felt wronged in his heart. When you collect money during the day, didn't you still say that you are desperate to protect them and considerately
Zhou Zheng and others came to a remote courtyard and detained the eleven people in separate rooms. The other three were interrogating. Zhou Zheng and the young man sat in front of the door and watched the dark sky chatting.
The young man played with a dagger in his hand and said lightly: "Actually, I was originally from Jinyiwei, hereditary. Later, my father was hurt by others and ransacked the house. Master Wei couldn't bear it and quietly saved my sister and me. Changed my name and surname, and followed Master Wei."
Zhou Zheng already knew that this young man was named Meng Hezhou, and his relationship with Wei Xizhuang was like a master and servant but also like a friend.
Zhou Zheng looked at Meng Hezhou's mature profile face far surpassing his peers under the moonlight, and said: "Old Wei seems to be heartless, but in fact he is the most loyal and useless, he just has a Wei character."
Meng Hezhou smiled and said: "I don't care who he is, he saved the lives of my sister and me, and I have already made money with this one."
There were screams in the room behind them, Zhou Zheng paused, and said: "Don't worry, we don't do anything to decapitate."
Meng Hezhou put away the dagger, still looking at the dark door in front, and said: "It's not a big deal to beheaded."
Zhou Zheng looked slightly different and nodded to himself. The person Wei Xizhuang rescued was very worthwhile.
The screams in the house soon ended, and a person walked out and said: "Meng Tou, Zhou Yushi, asked. They are from the Yang family in Shanxi, but they are following the one who moved to Yangzhou, Naqi Shao is one of the twelve righteous sons of the Yang family. The Yang family is a salt merchant and one of the largest salt merchants in Yangzhou. It is said that the family's wealth exceeds one million. There are many people in Yangzhou and even the capital."
Meng Hezhou's face was still, as if he hadn't heard it.
Zhou Zheng raised his brows, but he didn't expect that Qi Shao had such a background.
What Daming wants to say is the most profitable, it is undoubtedly private salt. This kind of thing is a necessity of life. It is controlled by a few people through various means. It monopolizes the large market of tens of millions of people in Daming. It is conceivable that small profits but quick turnover. In the long run, it is How rich!
The person who came out saw that Zhou Zheng and Meng Hezhou did not speak, and said: "Lord Wei wanted to investigate corruption in the salt class, and this angered Qi Shao Yang. He moved around for a lot of relations and forced Master Wei to stop. In Yangzhou The Ninth Young Master of the elders forced Master Wei to return to Beijing."
Zhou Zheng thought for a while and said, "Where is Qi Shao Yang, have you asked me?"
"The question came out, in a brothel." The man said.
Zhou Zheng looked at Meng Hezhou and said: "Catch him back, secretly, wait for you Master Wei to come back before you do anything."
Needless to say, Zhou Zheng, who dares to bully Wei Xizhuang like this, Meng Hezhou will definitely not let it go!
Meng Hezhou nodded and said to his humanity: "You stay with the guards, and I will arrest that Yang Qishao." (End of this chapter)
