Wang Zhengbai looked at Zhou Zheng calmly and confidently, turning around and shouting at the following: "Listen to the thieves and bandits under the city, the imperial court envoy, patrol Zhou Zhengyun, Lord Zhou is here, the bandit leader is here to obey!"
Wang Zhengbai's shout fell, and the noise of the city gradually disappeared, the torch swayed, and a fat, big-eared, middle-aged fat man riding a donkey appeared under the torch and walked straight to a short distance below the city.
The big fat man's face looked very greasy in the light of the fire, and his small eyes flashed cunningly. He looked up and looked at Zhou Zheng under the torch. He seemed a little surprised, and he was fierce and gloomy and said: "Are you Zhou Zheng? "
Zhou Zheng looked at him, then looked at the torch behind him, thinking about the specific number of people, and said lightly: "Are you here to catch me?"
The big fat man raised his head and said: "Yes! Shouchang Town is the site of the king. Since you are here, why do you have to pay for the road money, ten thousand taels!"
Zhou Zhengdao: "I will give you thirty thousand taels, you can follow me."
The big fat man's pretentious look was suddenly startled, and he opened his small eyes and looked at Zhou Zheng. Isn't this plot right
Yao Tongshun and the others didn't feel it, thirty thousand taels for Zhou Zheng, but drizzle.
Wang Baihe and Wang Zhengbai were stunned. Thirty thousand taels. That's a huge sum of money. Can the patrol master really take it out, or is it just a bluff and delaying time
They thought so, the big fat man seemed to react too, sneered, and said: "Do you really have thirty thousand taels?"
Zhou Zhengdao: "The court gave me one hundred thousand taels, mainly to purge the government and armaments of the Yongping Mansion. If you are willing to come down, thirty thousand taels will be given to you."
The big fat man wrinkled his face, hesitated very much, and said hurriedly, "You really gave it to me, are you afraid that I will regret it?"
Zhou Zheng smiled and said: "If you take me thirty thousand taels, if you dare to go back, you will be bullying the court and conspiring. There must be conquests by heavenly soldiers. You will not spend your life."
When the big fat man was about to speak, a person approached him and said something in a low voice.
The big fat man's expression changed, and he suddenly said to Zhou Zheng in a solemn voice: "I want to cash out silver, and I will believe you if you take it out, otherwise I will immediately break Shouchang Town, I don't believe that I can't find thirty thousand taels of silver!"
Zhou Zheng looked at the big fat man's expression, and his heart moved.
Wang Zhengbai quickly approached Zhou Zheng and whispered with a worried look: "My lord, there are hundreds of families in the town. If they attack the city, they will definitely be spared, so please think twice."
Wang Baihe seemed to wake up suddenly and said anxiously: "My lord, you must not let the bandits enter the town. How much money we can give them. Don't enter the city..."
Today's bandits, burn, kill, pillage and do no evil, if they really enter the town, it will be a catastrophe!
Zhou Zheng pressed down with a hand gesture, motioning them to calm down.
Then, he looked at the big fat man and said: "What is your name, where are you from, and how many people, let me estimate the amount of money you need."
The big fat man's expression pretending to be fierce, staring at Zhou Zheng said: "I want to see the silver, immediately, or I will attack the city, and the chickens and dogs will not stay!"
At this time, a dark guard ran over and whispered in Zhou Zheng's ear: "My lord, our brothers have touched it. There may be less than a hundred people."
Zhou Zheng gave a quiet hum, then looked at the big fat man and said, "How did you know that I was here?"
Although the group of them is not low-key, it is certainly not high-key. Even if a small family moves with three carriages, it is normal. How can this group of people be sure that he is here and come to him by name
The big fat man looked more and more severe, he said: "Give me the silver immediately, or I will attack the city!"
Zhou Zheng snorted coldly and said, "Toast, not eat or drink fine wine, come, and open the door!"
The guards below, Zhou Fu Jiading and Shangguanqing's dart team gathered under the city wall, listening to the sound and preparing to open the door.
Wang Baihe, Wang Zhengbai was shocked, and shouted together: "My lord, no!"
Zhou Zheng didn't bother to pay attention to them, and said directly: "Everyone listened to the order, the bandit below, a head and a tael, that big fat man caught twenty taels alive!"
"Yes!"
The dark guard below responded loudly, and the small city gate was opened immediately.
Wang Baihe sat on the ground with a frightened butt, wanting to cry without tears, his face full of panic.
Wang Zhengbai stared at Zhou Zheng with eyes wide open, with a look of fear on his face, but gritted his teeth: "The villain obeys!"
As he said, he led people downstairs in a hurry.
There are more than 20 people under Zhou Zheng who can fight, and there are more than 30 people with Wang Zhengbai.
Shangguanqing looked at Zhou Zheng and said in a crisp voice: "I will go too."
Zhou Zheng glanced at her and said, "Be careful."
Shangguan Qing hum, turned around and jumped directly off the city wall.
When Shangguan Lie saw him, he ran down and shouted, "Sister, I'll go with you."
Shang Guanqing stood in front, with a knife in his hand, and with nearly forty people, strode out of the city gate.
The big fat man downstairs watched Zhou Zheng actually order to open the door, and dozens of people walked out of the door, and he was stunned for a while.
This is completely different from what they expected. Shouldn't the dog officer on the tower tremblingly take the money and beg him to leave in a nice and verbal manner
Zhou was expressionless on the face and his eyes were indifferent. There were hundreds of robbers, just want to scare him
Shangguanqing downstairs was riding a horse, looking at the big fat man who was not far away, suddenly raised his long knife and shouted, "Kill!"
"Kill!" The dark guards drew their swords together and followed Shangguanqing behind.
The dart team, Zhou Fu Jiading, and Wang Zhengbai's people seemed to have been aroused by courage. They raised their weapons, shouted loudly, and rushed out like a rainbow.
The big fat man was so startled by the formation that he almost instinctively turned around and ran away.
A person next to him was also timid, but gritted his teeth and said: "My lord, their people are not half of ours, kill them! Kill them, we have thirty thousand taels of silver!"
I don’t know if it’s fear, or a silver jerk, the big fat man's expression changed, and he raised his hand and said cruelly: "Kill the dog officer, grab food!"
"Kill the dog officer, grab food!" The bandit behind him shouted, holding a hoe, and the iron rod greeted Shangguanqing and the others.
This group of bandits is actually less than a hundred people. There are sixty people in the west gate of Zhou Zheng, and only twenty people in the east gate.
Using a long knife, Shangguanqing slashed down a thin man holding a hoe who was rushing towards him, and then rushed directly at the big fat man.
The big fat man was quickly surrounded by a group of people, and Shangguanqing was blocked and jumped off his horse.
Zhou Zheng looked at him coldly and whispered a few words with Yao Tongshun beside him.
Yao Tongshun quickly agreed and turned and left.
Below the city, there were more than 30 people to 60 people. Not to mention Zhou Zheng’s Jinyi Dark Guard, he was Shangguanqing’s dart team. These bandits with hoes were their opponents, and the two sides quickly stalemate, powerful but obvious in Zhou Zheng One side.
Not long after, loud shouts suddenly sounded behind the robbers.
"There is an ambush, the officers and soldiers are here!"
"There is an ambush, the officers and soldiers are here!"
"There is an ambush, the officers and soldiers are here!"
The bandit, who was already aggressive, suddenly went into chaos, even the big fat man at the rear of the center changed his face and looked back hurriedly.
The human next to him said: "Great King, it must be a trick, let's withdraw!"
The big fat man was cold in his heart, but he had already thought about it, and he slapped the donkey with his legs desperately, and quickly fled in the other direction.
As soon as he ran away, all the bandits became more panic. They threw away their hoes and clubs and fled in all directions.
When Shangguanqing saw it, he shouted: "Catch that fat man!"
The morale of the'Guanjun' immediately rose, and they quickly covered up.
Shangguan Lie, Wang Zhengbai and the others were very confident, holding up their weapons and yelling, running fast, chasing these bandits.
On the city wall, Zhou Zheng looked at him, and he was suddenly relieved.
Yao Tongshun, Ding Qi, Wang Baihe and others are even more so, and their backs are soaked.
Yao Tongshun looked down and said with a smile to Zhou Zheng: "My lord, a good plan! Without your plan, Miss Shangguan would not be able to defeat this group of bandits so easily."
In fact, Zhou Zheng's back was also wet, and the palms of his hands were sweaty.
He forced himself to calm down and said calmly: "Well, you clean up the mess and comfort the people in the town. If the fat guy catches him, bring him to see me."
"Yes." Yao Tongshun quickly responded.
Zhou Zheng sighed lightly and turned back to the inn.
Everyone in the inn was hiding, there was no one. Zhou Zheng went upstairs, changed his clothes, sat on the chair, and let out a deep breath.
He looked out the window faintly, tapping lightly with his right hand on the desktop.
There must be something hidden in this matter, which is weird! (End of this chapter)
