Seeing the eight people rushing up, Zhou Zheng and Master Liu said, "Twelve each, give me a shot! They don't dare to kill, don't worry."
Master Liu opened his eyes and turned around and said loudly, "Master Zhou said, twelve taels per person, give me a call!"
Twelve taels is a huge sum of money for them. If they can make twelve taels with only one beating, they are willing to be beaten every day!
"Hit!" These craftsmen were full of morale, holding various tools in their hands, and rushed up with a ferocious look.
Cui Chengli's eight people had been fighting for a long time, thinking that these craftsmen were native chickens, but as a result, more than 20 people came up to besiege.
Cui Chengli didn't expect this to be the result, and couldn't help but stare at it.
There were several craftsmen who were about to shoot Cui Chengli with shovel, Zhou Zheng hurriedly shouted: "The fat guy, don't fight!"
Zhou Zheng was not afraid of beating Cui Chengli, but these craftsmen could not beat him, otherwise Cui Chengli would not be able to take revenge in the future.
The craftsman listened and had to turn to the thugs.
Cui Chengli was frightened and sweated all over, her fat body shivered, and back again and again.
The craftsmen exploded with great fighting power under the heavy reward, and defeated Cui Chengli's eight people. They fell to the ground and screamed in pain.
Zhou Zheng glanced at Meng Hezhou hidden behind the wall, walked towards Cui Chengli, and looked down from a condescending manner: "How about it, do you want to fight?"
Cui Chengli looked at the menacing craftsmen behind Zhou Zheng, with cold sweat on her neck, as if she was self-reliant, and said: "Zhou Zhengyun, you think about it, my brother is Cui Chengxiu, if you move me, I will protect you from living for long!"
Zhou Zheng's eyes were slightly cold, and he said, "Don't use him to scare me, I will write to impeach him tomorrow. But you, you smashed my Jiujiang Pavilion, what do you say?"
Cui Chengli looked at Zhou Zheng, struck her neck, and said, "What do you want? I tell you, dare to touch my hair. If you get out of here, I can kill you!"
Zhou Zheng's eyes flashed with killing intent, and he said, "Are you going to kill me?"
Cui Chengli looked at Zhou Zheng's eyes and couldn't help shrinking her neck, saying: "Zhou Zhengyun, in fact, we can get along well, Er Cao is about to resign, you follow me, and I promise you will get promoted and get rich..."
"You can't guarantee it."
Zhou Zheng interrupted him and said, "Let's talk about it, how can things be resolved today?"
Cui Chengli blinked her small eyes and said, "What do you want?"
Zhou Zheng's face was suddenly full of smiles, and said: "Are you waiting for me to make a price?"
Cui Chengli looked at Zhou Zheng, the fat on her face moved, and said, "Should I have someone fix it for you?"
Zhou Zheng stood up straight, expressionless.
Cui Chengli quickly said: "I will pay you five hundred taels again, no, one thousand taels, one thousand taels!"
Zhou Zheng looked flat and said: "I want you to have ten shops in the capital, the best location. I want to rescue a few people in the jail, and I will ask someone to give you the list. Remember, the means must be clean. In addition, I want to rescue a few people from the jail. , The goods of my weekly journal, you buy thirty thousand tael."
"Don't think about it!"
Cui Chengli was furious, her fat face flushed.
The ten best shops in Beijing cost tens of thousands of taels, and another 30,000 taels to buy Zhouji's goods. This week he was going to blackmail him forty taels. It was crazy!
Zhou Zheng leaned closer and smiled: "Then I will arrest you and return to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and then I will push you all the things I know, saying that you confessed."
Cui Chengli's eyes were wide open, full of horror.
If Zhou Zheng really does this, let alone those who are related to him will hate him, his brother Cui Chengxiu will also have to be dragged by him!
From Tao Ran’s words, Cui Chengli knew that Zhou Zheng knew a lot. If the second Cao of the Metropolitan Procuratorate used this to attack his brother, then his brother Cui Chengxiu would stop talking about resigning, and he would probably go straight to prison!
Cui Chengli's expression was gloomy and changed, her eyes were staring straight at Zhou Zheng.
"How much do you know?" Cui Chengli looked at Zhou Zhengdao angrily.
The more Zhou Zheng smiled, he said, "Not much."
Cui Chengli looked at Zhou Zheng's nasty face, struggling for a long time, and said, "Okay."
Zhou Zheng nodded in satisfaction and said: "Okay, you can go now."
Cui Chengli was startled, and said, "Will you let me go?"
Zhou Zhengdao: "I can't believe you when a big man can't chase after a word."
Cui Chengli looked at Zhou Zheng with a weird look, and then suddenly became vigilant, and said, "What do you want to do?"
Zhou Zheng looked at him and said, "Do you want me to beat you up before letting you go?"
Cui Chengli stared at Zhou Zheng, feeling a little uneasy, raising her head and saying: "Don't worry, I am a person who keeps my promise."
Zhou Zheng smiled.
Cui Chengli looked at Zhou Zheng cautiously again, and stepped back cautiously. Seeing that Zhou Zheng really didn't stop him, she turned and ran as soon as she left the door.
His thugs hurriedly helped each other, limping and trotting away.
Master Liu and the others watched the group run away, their expressions were happy, and they didn't think too much.
They are just plain-headed people, who know so many things in officialdom.
Zhou Zheng turned his head to look at Master Liu, and saw that several people were injured, and said: "I'll let someone pay you money later, and the injured will add two more."
Master Liu said with joy and restraint: "This is so embarrassing. We must build a house for Lord Zhou. We must be optimistic about it."
Zhou Zheng smiled and said: "It's okay, take a break and continue to do things."
"Eh, good." Master Liu agreed with a smile.
Zhou Zheng watched for a while, walked into the Jiujiang Pavilion, and after a corner, Meng Hezhou came out.
"Are you okay?" Meng Hezhou asked.
There was no problem with Wei Xizhuang's safety in the imprisonment, so he asked Meng Hezhou to follow Zhou Zheng secretly with someone to prevent any accidents.
Zhou Zheng hummed, looked out the window, pondered for a while, and said, "I'm fine, how is Old Wei?"
Meng Hezhou said: "Master Wei is well. A lot of things have happened in the palace recently. I heard that Empress Zhang stays with the emperor day and night, and the British prince has been in the Chinese Army’s capital guard house.
Zhou Zheng counted the days silently, and said: "It's coming soon."
Meng Hezhou was also a person who knew that Tianqi was seriously ill and that Ming was about to change drastically. Hearing Zhou Zheng's words, he understood what he meant, and did not say much.
The two were quiet for a while, and Zhou Zheng said, "I will write to impeach Cui Chengxiu tomorrow."
Meng Hezhou was startled and said, "Why do you want to impeach him?"
Who is Cui Chengxiu, one of the Five Biao, is different from Tian Ergeng's really ruthless, full of blood. Cui Chengxiu is a civil official. His cruelty is to kill people without seeing blood, but he has caused countless people to die and fear as a tiger.
Zhou Zheng smiled somewhat obscurely and said: "If you want to sit in rows and divide the fruit, you have to do things first. The higher the risk, the higher the return."
Meng Hezhou couldn't understand Zhou Zheng's words, and said, "Are you sure?"
Zhou Zheng didn't hide it, and said, "Tian Ergeng has given me a lot of things, and he has to deal with Cui Chengxiu."
Meng Hezhou sounded a little weird, and said, "You and Tian Ergeng... are joining hands?"
Zhou Zheng shook his head and said, "No, use each other."
Meng Hezhou couldn't figure out what Zhou Zheng was thinking, and said, "Do I need to do anything?"
Zhou Zhengdao: "Find a safe place, help me detain three people tomorrow, and have a good interrogation."
This Meng Hezhou is doing well, saying: "Okay."
While Zhou Zheng was discussing here, Cui Chengli had already left the area of Jiujiang Pavilion far away, with a gloomy expression on her face.
One of the thugs rubbed his shoulders and said bitterly: "Master, is it really necessary to give that surname Zhou forty thousand taels?"
Not to mention that these forty thousand taels is not a small number, but it is unacceptable to say that Cui Chengli was threatened!
Cui Chengli snorted coldly and said, "He can't think about it!"
He was threatened by Zhou Zheng just now, and he had to agree, but he never thought of fulfilling it. Now I am thinking about how to make Zhou Zheng!
The thug looked at Cui Chengli, and said bitterly: "Master, I think it's easy to handle, quietly catch him, take a good trial, let him spit out everything he knows, and then find a place where no one can bury it!"
Cui Chengli didn't want to be like this, but in his opinion Zhou is Cao Sicheng, Cao Yubian's people, and those things Zhou Zheng and Tao Ran said are fatal. If they are shaken out, I don't know how many people will be brought out. His brother Cui Chengxiu It's not clean.
The officialdom emphasizes fighting but not breaking. If Er Cao feels that they have to tear their faces and fight back desperately, it will be a catastrophe.
"Think of another way." Cui Chengli said impatiently. This usual practice is not suitable for Zhou Zheng. After all, they don't know how much evidence Zhou Zheng holds in his hands. Who knows where it is hidden.
The thug stretched his head and glanced at Cui Chengli's profile, and said, "My lord, then grab his relatives and let him throw a rat!"
Cui Chengli was overjoyed and said: "This is a way. You can find out Zhou Zhengyun's family background and which ones are most important to him. Huh, dare to threaten me. I think he doesn't want to live anymore!"
"It's the master!" The thug said excitedly. After being beaten by a group of masons, they also held back their anger.
Although Cui Chengli told these thugs like this, she actually had other plans in her heart.
The Second Cao of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was about to resign. When they left Beijing, Zhou Zheng was a helpless little supervisory official who didn't dare to mess around even if he had something in his hand.
Without the protection of Er Cao, Zhou Zheng dared to release anything to find death!
'Wait for the second Cao to leave Beijing and see how I can clean you up! 'Cui Chengli thought viciously in her heart.
As for the forty thousand taels promised to Zhou Zheng, since it has already come out, will they really give it
ridiculous!
Zhou Zheng left Jiujiang Pavilion and returned to Zhou Mansion.
Sitting in the study, with a blank melodrama in front of him, Zhou Zheng looked faintly, thinking about how to write this impeachment melodrama.
The end of the apocalypse is getting closer, and the eunuch is getting more and more nervous now. It is not as unscrupulous as before. It is a good opportunity!
Zhou Zheng thought for a while, then suddenly picked up his pen and wrote word by word.
His memorial is not about impeaching Cui Chengxiu, or rather, not only impeaching Cui Chengxiu.
In the memorial, he publicly listed the names of "Wu Biao" and "Ten Dogs", and listed the ten major crimes, such as forming a party for private business, embezzling, cultivating private individuals, and framing Zhongliang, etc., which are well-founded and very detailed.
After writing a thousand words, Zhou Zheng put down his pen and waited for the ink to dry while looking at the memo.
Although Li Guopu and others are rushing to impeach Wei Zhongxian, they still have a sense of measure and did not tear their faces.
Zhou Zheng’s memorial is comparable to the famous "Donglin Point General Record", which lists all the high-level eunuchs.
The chief minister of the cabinet, cabinet ministers, and six ministers, who are in the dynasty, are listed in the coefficient of honor.
Carefully examine, the newly appointed Yushi of the left and right capitals like Cao Sicheng and Cao Yubian, who are ranked as one of the seven princes, are actually not in the rankings! (End of this chapter)
