In the evening, Zhou Zheng came out of the palace. Not long after he went out, he was blocked in an alley.
It's only a few dozen steps away from the Forbidden City, and it is a branch of Chang'an Avenue.
Zhou Zheng never expected that he would be blocked in such a place in broad daylight!
Cui Chengli stood opposite Zhou Zheng with a ruthless expression, and Zhou Zheng was surrounded by four young men who looked like desperadoes, holding short knives, staring at Zhou Zheng like a tiger and leopard, revealing the murder!
Zhou Zheng looked at Cui Chengli, sighed, and said, "I still underestimate you."
Cui Chengli didn't look proud, her face was fierce, and said: "The surname Zhou, either you promise me today or we will die together!"
Zhou Zheng glanced at the four desperadoes, and said: "In broad daylight, killing the imperial order officer, your Cui family is going to slay all the people."
Cui Chengli's face became even more ruthless, and said: "Of course I know, but if you don't promise me, my Cui family is also full of crimes, and it's not like going to death!"
Zhou Zheng blinked, and Cui Chengli was smart at this time.
Cui Chengli looked at Zhou Zheng and said, "I will give you 10,000 mu of fertile fields, houses, shops, and the total value of cash is 400,000 silver. Either you promise me or we die together!"
Zhou Zheng has estimated the Cui family's fortune. This, I am afraid that it is more than one-third, and it can be regarded as Cui Chengli's bleeding.
Zhou Zheng pretended to ponder for a long while, and said: "How do I believe that you will not retaliate in the future? You are relieved, I am not an opponent."
Cui Chengli apparently had a draft, and said: "We will sign and pledge, and if anyone repents in the future, we will die together and die together!"
Zhou Zheng said without hesitation: "Okay, but within a day, you have to give it all to me."
Cui Chengli didn't expect Zhou Zheng to agree so readily, but thinking about setting up the handwriting, she was not afraid that Zhou Zheng would regret it. She took out the paper and ink pad from her arms and said, "Press the fingerprint."
Zhou Zheng received two pieces of paper. This is a'transactional receipt', saying that Zhou Zheng accepted Cui's 500,000 taels of silver and no longer submitted a letter to impeach Cui Chengxiu, and that the well water did not offend the river.
Zhou Zheng thought it was what kind of handwriting, but he didn't expect it to be such a simple one.
However, if it is made public, with Zhu Youjian's character, Zhou Zheng will never escape death, and he will have to involve the Zhou family.
Zhou Zheng glanced at Cui Chengli and pressed his fingerprints on it without hesitation.
Cui Chengli watched Zhou Zheng press it with her own eyes. Then she breathed a sigh of relief. After receiving it, he also pressed two, in duplicate, and then handed Zhou Zheng a copy. With a relieved expression, she smiled and said: "From now on we will be a family. People, go back and tell Master Zhou, hold it up high, put it down gently, and discuss everything."
Zhou Zheng knew that Cui Chengli was afraid of Daddy Zhou's investigation of the'Wei Zhongxian's case', and Cui Chengxiu was involved, so she thought about binding Zhou Zheng and using this to bind Daddy Zhou in order to get away.
"It's easy to say, go back and prepare the silver, I will send someone to accept it immediately." Zhou Zheng said with a smile on his face.
Cui Chengli's expression suddenly didn't look so good. Her grievances and anger boiled over, but she was forced to say, "You wait! Let's go."
With a wave of her hand, Cui Chengli took the four desperadoes and walked away with an angry face.
As soon as Cui Chengli turned the corner, a person turned over from the wall, knelt on one knee, and said, "Master Zhou, the villain neglected his duty."
Zhou Zheng waved his hand and looked at the direction Cui Chengli was leaving. With cold eyes, he said, "Don't blame you, Cui Chengli chose a good place, go, stop them for me, take the paper back, Cui Chengli... let him go back."
"Yes." The Jinyi dark guard responded and left quickly.
Zhou Zheng walked out of the corner, looked at the back of Cui Chengli and others quickly leaving, and said to himself: "You asked for it."
After speaking, Zhou Zheng turned in another direction.
More than a dozen people in Jinyi's secret guards quietly ambushed on both sides of a road. Seeing that there were fewer people, they shot quickly and overpowered the five Cui Chengli without much effort.
A secret guard took out the piece of paper from Cui Chengli's arms, glanced at it, and put it in his arms.
Cui Chengli was beaten with a bruised nose and swollen face. He struggled and gritted his teeth and said: "Zhou Zheng, he is not keeping his promise!"
Without him, the Dark Methodist turned around and disappeared quickly.
On the other side, Zhou Zheng found Meng Hezhou, but he came to prison again.
Tian Ergeng sat opposite Zhou Zheng. Perhaps Luo Yangxing used the torture. His face was bruised and bloodstained, and his spirit was very decadent. His eyes were no longer calm and fierce.
He looked at Zhou Zheng and said: "I won't live long. I want you to save my two sons. I will hand over the hundred dead men to you, as well as the evidence of crimes from the court and opposition ministers I have. This is very good for you. Important, no matter how much you want, I don’t have any."
Zhou Zheng looked still, thought for a while, and said, "Luo Yangxing wants to kill you?"
Tian Ergeng sneered and said, "He is greedy for money and lustful. He is a pig that can't feed enough."
Zhou Zheng was very concerned about the hundred dead men. Even if he couldn't hold it in his hands, he couldn't let them go outside without knowing it. This was a terrible time bomb.
"Under 14 years old." Zhou Zhengdao.
In history, next year’s Chongzhen will clean up the eunuchs. Tian Ergeng, Cui Chengxiu and his like are the first wave. They were executed mercilessly. The whole family was lost and none of them were spared.
Fourteen years old is a minor at this time, and the law can avoid death.
Tian Ergeng snorted coldly and said, "If this is the case, why should I beg you?"
Zhou Zheng shook his head and said, "After you die, countless people will cut you off, and I can protect him from death."
The corners of Tian Ergeng's mouth moved, and he did not speak for a long time.
He has killed countless people in the field, and most of them are high-ranking officials of the imperial court. If he dies, I don't know how many people will step on his feet severely. His family will definitely be spared.
"You have to answer me a question." Tian Ergeng stared at Zhou Zheng's eyes.
Zhou Zheng could hear that Tian Ergeng stopped struggling and said, "You said it."
Tian Ergeng's eyes were faint, and he said, "You can always get a step faster, as if you can see a lot of things, why?"
Tian Ergeng was the commander of Jinyiwei Capital. He investigated Zhou Zheng in great detail. He had found out many things about Zhou Zheng in the past. It can be said that Tian Ergeng knew Zhou Zheng better than Zhou Qingli.
Zhou Zheng smiled faintly, and said; "I am proficient in Fuxi gossip, and I have counted the past and the present."
Tian Ergeng's eyelids jumped, and then he sneered, "It doesn't matter if I tell you. I have news that Luo Yangxing is eyeing you."
Zhou Zheng raised his brows, and he didn't expect that the two Jinyiwei commanders before and after were all staring at him. It seemed that he had to be more careful in the future.
"Hand over to Wei Xizhuang, I will keep the promise." Zhou Zheng stood up and said.
Looking at Zhou Zheng's back, Tian Ergeng opened his mouth to speak, but didn't say anything.
A month ago, he was still the majestic Jinyiwei commander, but now he is a prisoner waiting to die.
Zhou Zheng went out of Tian'ergeng cell, saw Wei Xizhuang, saw that he was drunk drunk, sighed, and said to Meng Hezhou: "You send that Cao Zhihuang to Shuntian Mansion."
Meng Hezhou was taken aback, and said, "Are you going to tear your face with Cui Chengxiu?"
Zhou Zheng said with a cold face, "The Cui family knows nothing about life or death. Since they are looking for death, I will fulfill them!"
Meng Hezhou already knew what happened just now, and still asked, "I thought about the next thing?"
Cao Zhihuang was sent by Cui Chengli to kill Zhou Zheng. It was a terrible thing to assassinate the Supervisor Yushi from a former six books! Not to mention the emperor, even the court will inevitably be angry, Cui Chengxiu will definitely be attacked by a group, and the death penalty is inevitable!
Cui Chengxiu is an eunuch iron and has a huge influence in the court. If he falls, it may cause unpredictable disturbances. (End of this chapter)
