Chapter 308: Distress

Views:

The sky was getting dark, and everyone came to Shouchang Town. This is a small town, but there are walls around it, which can be regarded as a small city.

Zhang Heyi, who had prepared in advance, greeted Zhou Zheng and entered an inn, saying, "My lord, it's all arranged."

A shopkeeper looked at Zhou Zheng and his party with a smile on his face, and said: "This young man, the room is ready, hot water, and food are all ready, and they will be ready for use immediately. What are your instructions? I said."

Zhou Zheng didn't have any special requirements in this regard, as long as he passed, he glanced at Shangguanqing and the others behind him, and said, "Do you have any special requirements?"

Without waiting for others to speak, Shangguan Lie rushed to say, "My mattress will be replaced, as well as my sister’s. Remember, it’s a new replacement, and no one else has used it. The food must be clean, I’ll wait. I will go to your back kitchen to see if you fool us, more than 30 of us, we smashed your broken building, did you hear..."

The shopkeeper smiled and raised his hand and said: "Don't worry, son, make sure there is no problem."

"Also, we have packed your inn, so don't let any messy people in. Our prince is honorable. If you are disturbed, it will be cheaper for you to take a lawsuit..." Shangguan Lie's mouth is like a bullet. Never stopped.

The shopkeeper seemed to have received such a big deal for the first time, and smiled and nodded.

Zhou Zheng looked at him, didn't say much, went up to the second floor, and entered his room.

After a short rest, everyone ate in the hall.

Zhou Zheng ate along with Yao Tong and said: "When we arrive at Yongping Mansion, we have to do a lot of things. I will give you the arrangement for the relocation and casting to be in the sixth room. After making adjustments, we are expected to get busy in the second half of the year..."

Six rooms, six departments of punishment, labor, and officials corresponding to the prefect’s yamen.

Yao Tongshun and Zhang Heyi nodded as they listened, and said, "It's an adult."

Yao Tongshun was originally a small official of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he had no future. Now that he can work for any homeowner in the locality, he has a future.

Qianzhu is the character of Zhang Heyi. He replaced Yao Tongshun's class and is now brought out by Zhou Zheng. His choice was different from Kou Huaiyi. Kou Huaiyi chose to stay in Beijing, while Zhang Heyi chose to leave Beijing with Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng took a few bites and then said, "We don’t know the officials of Yongping Mansion. When you arrive at Yongping Mansion, you use your relationship to check with me to see which of these people are available and which cannot be used. To do things, you still have to have the mind to do things..."

Zhang Heyi, Yao Tongshun and others were Zhou Zheng's initial team at Yongping Mansion, and the two of them rushed to respond with a bit agitated expressions.

They know some of Zhou Zheng's plans, this is going to be a big fight!

If Zhou Zheng does a good job, their future will be limitless!

Shangguan Lie stretched his head and looked at Zhou Zheng expectantly: "Master Zhou, me, what am I doing?"

Shangguan Lie was brought by Shangguan Xun to Zhou Zheng, fearing that he would cause trouble in the capital.

Zhou Zheng looked at him, and looked at Ding Qi again. Ding Qi seemed to be bigger than Zhou Zheng. She was a little shy and not much talking. He looked at Zhou Zheng and stopped talking. His expression was also an expression of hope that could not be concealed.

Zhou Zheng knew that both of them had to exercise. He pondered for a while and said: "When you arrive at the government office, there must be a lot of things to do, uploading and distributing, meeting officials, etc. Then, you will follow me first. Arrange these things for me..."

In fact, the two of them don't have much strong desire for official positions, and they are more "doing things".

Shangguan Lie lifted his head and said with a deep expression: "Don't worry, my lord, I will make arrangements for you!"

Ding Qi was very excited just like Shangguan Lie.

Zhou Zheng looked at the group of people on the table, nodded and smiled secretly, his pride gradually rose, smug!

After a group of people finished their meal, they rested separately, and had to rush tomorrow morning.

I don't know how long he slept, Zhou Zhengzheng was confused, there was a sudden noise outside the door, and then his door was violently shaken.

Zhou Zheng frowned, opened the door while wearing his clothes, and saw Yao Tongshun panicked and said: "My lord, it's not good, bandits are besieging the city!"

Zhou Zheng was startled and said, "The bandits besieged the city? How many people?"

Yao Tong said: "I don't know, the mayor said, call for an adult, and ask them to hand over the adult!"

Zhou Zheng turned around and put on his clothes, and said, "Wake up everyone, let's go take a look."

Not long after, Zhou Zheng appeared in the hall. The hall was full of people, the inn shopkeeper and the little chef hiding aside, shivering.

Not long after, a sturdy old man in his early sixties came in and tremblingly raised his hand to Zhou Zheng and said: "Little man Wang Baihe pays homage to Master Xunjia."

Zhou Zheng didn't change his expression, looked at him and said, "Are you the mayor here?"

The so-called mayor was elected by a prestigious town chief.

Wang Baihe looked flustered, and said, "The villain is exactly."

Zhou Zheng glanced at the bright lights outside, and said, "Those bandits are here to find the official? How do they know that the official is staying here today?"

Wang Baihe was startled, and said, "This villain doesn't know it, it must be the adults who got caught by them when they entered the town."

Zhou Zheng looked at Wang Bohe with cold eyes, and said, "Do you often have bandits in Shouchang Town?"

Wang Baihe looked distressed, and said, "Don't dare to deceive adults, not only Shouchang Town, the entire Lulong County, and even Yongping Prefecture, bandits are everywhere, and the whole village is empty in some places. It's the scourge of bandits!"

With the back of his right hand behind, Zhou Zheng gently rubbed his thumb with his fingers, and said, "There are really more than two hundred people?"

Wang Baihe said: "It's too dark, the villain can't see clearly, but they blocked the front and back doors, so there are 200 people, less to say."

Yao Tongshun looked at Wang Baihe, approached Zhou Zheng, and whispered in his ear: "My lord, I'm afraid there is a problem in this."

Zhou Zheng snorted to himself, not only that there is a problem, I am afraid it is still a big problem!

"Go, follow me to have a look." Zhou Zheng said he was about to step out of the inn.

Wang Baihe quickly stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "My lord, you must never go. They are desperadoes who kill people without blinking. If they fall into their hands, there is no fluke! They just want money, and they will do it if they give money. gone… "

Zhou Zheng pushed him away and said, "Besiege the town and threaten the imperial envoys. I think they have a few heads!"

Zhou Zheng strode away, Yao Tongshun, Zhang Heyi, Shangguanqing and others naturally followed, and a group of more than 30 people went straight to the east gate.

Wang Baihe looked at him with an anxious expression, and hurriedly followed.

When Zhou Zheng came to the top of the city, he saw the torch illuminating the entire small city wall. The outside of the city was also haloed, and there were bursts of presumptuous shouts and laughter.

Before Zhou Zheng came to the city wall to speak, a strong man in his early thirties shouted in a deep voice: "Who are you guys? Haven't you seen any bandits coming? Come down!"

Wang Baihe hurried up from behind and said, "Presumptuous! This is the tour operator Zhou Zhengyun, Lord Zhou, Wang Zhengbai, don't hesitate to see you."

When Wang Zhengbai saw it, he hurriedly raised his hand and said, "The villain has seen the patrol master!"

Wang Baihe said to Zhou Zheng: "My lord, Wang Zhengbai is the captain of the guard that we selected to guard the town."

Zhou Zheng took a look at Wang Zhengbai and saw that except for a knife in his hand, everyone else was a hoe, a shovel, and no weapons.

Zhou Zheng lightly nodded his head and looked down. Only not far away, except for the light in the front, the back was dark, but the heads and shadows were constantly shaking, and the number of people was really large.

Zhou Zheng thought about it and asked Wang Zhengbai: "Do you know the bandit?"

Wang Zhengbai hurriedly said: "My lord, I don't know him, it's not the bandit who robbed us in the past, it seems to come from somewhere else."

Nowadays, bandits are also running around. There are not many bandits who can stand and live in no fixed place, especially at the feet of the emperor in Beizhili.

"newcomer?"

Zhou Zheng looked at the dark undercity and said: "Call, this officer wants to see their leader." (End of this chapter)
