Chaotian Palace.
Cao Jixiang led people through the winding mountain road to pursue Zhou Yingyu.
"Which way will he run?"
Cao Jixiang put his arms around Li Wenying and pinched him hard. Li Wenying stuck out his tongue: "I don't know!"
"Soup sequence!"
Cao Jixiang shouted sharply: "Go back and kill! Kill a Taoist priest every three breaths. As long as Zhou Yingyu doesn't show up, we will kill him to the end! Kill until the very root of Tianshi Dao!"
"ah?"
Li Wenying exclaimed, pulled Cao Jixiang and said urgently: "Please show your respect, Lord Admiral!"
"Tianshi Dao has always been extremely respectful and loyal to His Majesty."
"This matter was all done by Zhou Yingyu alone. He is not the Taoist priest of Tianshi Dao. He was expelled from Taoism years ago. Now he is just a straggler and has absolutely nothing to do with Tianshi Dao. Please tell me clearly from the camp commander!"
Cao Jixiang grinned: "Zhou Yingyu is not a Celestial Master? Is he a temporary worker?"
"Yes, he is just a temporary worker. He is just a helper in the temple. He has no position at all, and he is not a member of the Celestial Master Dao!"
Li Wenying repeatedly flattered him: "Please show me your noble hand, my father-in-law. I am willing to set up a memorial hall for my father-in-law in the temple for the rest of my life, so that my father-in-law can enjoy the incense in the temple!"
Cao Jixiang took two steps back, suddenly drew his knife, and struck Li Wenying on the arm!
"Our family's lives can't be saved, and the Lisheng Temple is of no use!"
Li Wenying screamed.
But Cao Jixiang put the knife on his neck: "Don't scream! Tianshi Dao is harboring criminals and wants to drag our family into trouble? Did your head get stepped on by a dog? Tell me where the criminals are hiding!"
Li Wenying restrained her voice: "I really don't know! It's all Zhou Yingyu's fault..."
He tried his best to find out the relationship between Zhou Yingyu and Tianshi Dao, but Cao Jixiang didn't accept bribes. Could it be that Cao Jixiang wanted money?
"Tang Xu, go and kill him!" Cao Jixiang was furious.
The enemy is so close but cannot be caught. This feeling is like a hundred claws scratching the heart.
No, the prisoner must not have escaped from Chaotian Palace.
The craftsmen were sealing the door, and there were patrol handles outside the door. If anyone came in or out, they would definitely sound the alarm, so these five people were still watching.
It's easy to hide a few people in this dark place.
Where will it be?
Li Wenying begged and offered 10,000 taels of silver to bribe Cao Jixiang.
"If we can't catch anyone, will our family have a life flower?" Cao Jixiang smiled strangely at him.
"Cao Jixiang, there are a group of Taoist priests in Chaotian Palace who are powerless. You want to arrest the criminals, and we have already cooperated. Why do you have to kill them all!"
Li Wenying knew that it was useless to beg for mercy, so she screamed and shouted: "Pin Dao is just a branch of Tianshi Dao. If you kill Pin Dao today, Tianshi Dao will send you to hell tomorrow!"
Bang!
Cao Jixiang kicked Li Wenying: "Our family knows that this is your true face!"
"Why did you pretend to be gentle and kind to our family before? Why did you pretend to be weak and pitiful?"
"After dealing with you for so many years, our family doesn't know your true nature?"
"You are nothing more than a sycophantic villain who uses the name of Heavenly Master's Dao to fawn over and flatter others!"
"If you want to build a shrine for our family, you are worthy of it!"
"Tianshi Dao, it's just a place where filth and evil are hidden!"
Cao Jixiang pressed the knife on Li Wenying's neck: "Don't pretend to be compassionate to our family. Our family knows what you are. Even if Tianshi Dao is killed, you won't care!"
"The only one you care about is yourself!"
"Every three breaths, we will remove a part from your body!"
"Take our family to find someone!"
Li Wenying smiled miserably and was dragged by the people from the patrol camp.
"It's time!"
Cao Jixiang asked someone to press his palm on a stone, and he chopped off one of Li Wenying's fingers with a knife.
"Lead the way!"
Cao Jixiang pushed Li Wenying and smiled evilly: "Don't waste your time. What you waste is all your own parts, Daochang Li!"
"Cao Jixiang, I will kill you!"
"Time is up!"
Cao Jixiang asked someone to hold down Li Wenying's hand and chop off one of his fingers!
Li Wenying screamed.
Cao Jixiang refused to let go of him and patted his cheek: "Our family told you not to scream and chop another one!"
"Ah!" Li Wenying saw another finger leave his palm with his own eyes. It was so painful that he couldn't help but scream out again.
"Chop again!"
After chopping off two fingers in a row, his entire hand was empty, leaving only a palm.
"It looks so ugly, just chop it off!"
Cao Jixiang stepped on his arm and chopped off his palm with a knife!
Blood spurted out, and Li Wenying twitched in pain.
"Poor, poor Taoist really don't know..."
"You have such a tough mouth!"
Cao Jixiang sighed: "Do you know who Xu Youzhen, Sun Boring, Ye Da, Jiang Cheng, and Wen En are?"
That's right, those hiding in Chaotian Palace are Xu Youzhen and others!
"These people participated in the rebellion and attacked the palace gate of the Forbidden City!"
"Do you know what the crime is according to the Ming Dynasty law, harboring rebel criminals?"
"Daozhang Li, our family is very tolerant to you. If you go to Jinyiwei Prison, even if you want to die, it will be a luxury!"
"Don't look at us like that, we are trying to save you."
"If we can't find these five imperial convicts, our family will report to the Emperor, and the Emperor's thunderous wrath will eradicate the Heavenly Master's way. What can you do?"
"Your Majesty uses the Tao of the Heavenly Master with loyalty. If it is a white-eyed wolf that you are not familiar with, what is the use of your Majesty keeping it?"
"That's all, you don't appreciate it anyway, switch to the other hand and start chopping!"
At this time, Tang Xu ran over quickly holding a torch and threw several heads on the ground.
Li Wenying's expression changed sharply. These are all his disciples.
Cao Jixiang is really ruthless, he does what he says, and treats the Tianshi Dao disciples like pigs and dogs. Sooner or later, this debt will have to be settled!
"Battle Supervisor, chopping your fingers like this is slow and a waste of time."
Tang Xu laughed strangely and said: "Look what you found in Biaoxia! Biaoxia just killed a Taoist priest. The Taoist priest is an expert in fighting insects. He carries several insect jars with him, and they are full of treasures!"
Cao Jixiang didn't like fighting insects, so he was puzzled.
But Tang Xu liked them so much that he opened the can of worms and showed it to Cao Jixiang: "I like these generals very much after just one look."
"I think Daochang Li will also like it!"
He took out another small jar, which contained snow-white icing sugar. This jar was probably not cheap, but with the financial resources of Tianshi Dao, it was no problem to eat it.
"Crickets like sweetness, so I put icing sugar on Daozhang Li's wounds."
"Let the crickets out again. In order to suck in the sweet taste, the crickets will use pliers to open and tear Daochang Li's wounds over and over again."
"Don't be afraid, Daozhang Li. There are just a few crickets. They can't bite you to death."
Tang Xu asked someone to hold Li Wenying down and sprinkle sugar on his wounds.
Then place the cricket in the jar on the wound.
"Ahhh!"
Li Wenying watched the crickets crawling on the wound, and her eyes almost popped out. When she saw the cricket's pincers swinging, she felt as if she saw her own flesh and blood being eaten by the cricket.
"Let me go, let me go..."
Tangxu didn't listen and started playing with the crickets with a straw stick. Five or six crickets started fighting at Li Wenying's wound.
The feeling of bugs crawling on the body was already terrifying. What was even more devastating was the fact that the bugs were fighting around on the wound.
It directly broke Li Wenying's heart.
"In the secret room! Take it away! Take it away!" Li Wenying shouted.
"Which secret room?" Cao Jixiang picked up Li Wenying's head and asked.
"The underground secret room of Chongshen Temple!"
Li Wenying couldn't stand it anymore. He could endure having his hands chopped off, but the crickets eating his flesh frightened him.
He has endured so hard that he even did not hesitate to watch Taoists being killed.
Just to continue the tradition!
If the emperor knew that Tianshi Dao was harboring imperial prisoners, how could Tianshi Dao survive with the emperor's cruelty?
Tianshi Dao started from Tianshi Zhang Yuchu, and it was able to please two generations of emperors, Taizu and Taizong, that it is as prosperous as it is today.
Before his death, Master Zhang Maocheng said that the Tao of Heavenly Masters would continue to prosper and not make the same mistakes as the Quanzhen Sect.
So he kept holding on, but Cao Jixiang's methods were too cruel and he couldn't hold on anymore...
"Take our family!"
Cao Jixiang asked Tang Xu to collect the crickets.
The soup preface is still full of meaning: "I haven't fought with crickets on the stumps yet. This general likes to eat flesh and blood. Your meat is good. When you die, can you give this body to me...Yes, camp commander, I'll take it now." Got it!"
Li Wenying pointed to the palm on the ground and wanted to say goodbye to you, but she burst into tears.
Tao's heart is really broken.
"It fell to the ground. It's dirty. The general may not like it, but it's better to live well." Tang Xu stared at Li Wenying with salivation on his face.
In your eyes, am I the food of crickets?
Cao Jixiang led his people to surround Chongsheng Temple.
Take Li Wenying in.
"Under Taoist Master." Li Wenying cried.
After moving the Taoist statue, there was indeed an entrance to the secret room. Cao Jixiang sent someone down, and soon a scream was heard.
found it!
The patrolman Ding was killed.
But it just shows that Xu Youzhen and others are hiding inside!
"Is there a secret passage inside?" Cao Jixiang grabbed Li Wenying and asked.
Li Wenying shook her head.
"Let our family rush in. Our family will survive. The first one to rush in will be rewarded with the general's flag! The one who catches five people will be rewarded with hundreds of households!"
There must be a brave man under a heavy reward.
Seven or eight patrolmen rushed in and quickly took control of the situation.
"what's your name?"
Cao Jixiang saw a muscular man dragging two people in Taoist robes up. They were decorated with colors, but his expression remained unchanged.
"Shan Ying was the one who was fished out of the Penal Department Prison by the camp supervisor and committed murder!"
"Okay, Shan Ying, our family will make you the general banner!"
Cao Jixiang sealed the three general banners in one breath.
Seven went in and three came out alive. It is unknown whether those four unlucky guys were killed by Sun Boring or because they were trying to steal their credit.
Anyway, the patrol camp is full of bastards, so it would be weird not to take credit.
"They're all old friends."
Cao Jixiang picked up a Taoist priest's face with his knife, and it turned out to be Xu Youzhen!
It was them, slipping away from under their noses.
He was still searching stupidly. The clever Xu Youzhen must be laughing at him, Cao Jixiang.
"You have made the emperor's search so difficult!" Cao Jixiang smiled strangely.
"Bah! Traitor!"
Sun Boring spat. He was a Mongolian. Although he was naturalized, he still had Mongolian habits.
The spit sprayed on Cao Jixiang's face.
Shan Ying wanted to help wipe it, but Cao Jixiang waved his hand and said: "Brother Sun, you were recommended to the Supreme Emperor by our family, and our family has suffered from this spit!"
"But our family wants to tell you something."
"Because of your escape, your sons Sun Hong, Sun Fu, and Sun Fu were all delayed!"
"But your wife is still alive."
"You're serving people in the brothel in Zhangjiawan, and your concubine, daughter, and daughter-in-law are all serving people together!"
"The people who come here often are coolies. Those coolies are dirty and smelly. They don't know a word of Chinese characters, but they have good physical strength. I heard that my wife is very satisfied with her current life."
"By the way, our family heard from Governor Xu that your daughter is pregnant. She is young and in good health. My wife has been silent for so long, tsk tsk..."
"Ahhh! I'm going to kill you!"
Sun Boring rushed over and wanted to fight Cao Jixiang: "Emperor Dog, I, Sun Boring, are at odds with you!"
He screamed continuously, but was held down tightly.
puff!
Cao Jixiang struck Sun Boring in the face with a knife. The blade was embedded in half of his face and blood gushed out.
"My lord, do you dare to scold me? You are a disobedient and unethical piece of trash!"
Blood dripped to the ground. Sun Boring felt severe pain on his face. He gritted his teeth and found that he had bitten the blade. He couldn't hold it back and howled miserably.
But his cheeks were opened, and the more he screamed, the more painful it became. Because the tension was too great, it split from the corners of his mouth to the back of his head. He could not close his mouth, and his blood-stained tongue was clearly visible.
Cao Jixiang withdrew the blade, and Sun Bor covered his face and rolled around screaming.
"It turns out he's not a heroic guy!"
Cao Jixiang snorted: "I forgot to tell you. Your son Sun Hong also cursed like this before he died. As a result, he received more than 300 more cuts and took three days longer to die than others!"
Sun Boring whimpered.
But it made Ye Da, Jiang Cheng, and Wen En tremble.
"Ye Da, where is your brother Ye Cheng?" Cao Jixiang asked.
"Been, killed!"
Ye Da was an eunuch with a shrill voice: "The slaves were killed when they escaped."
"Who killed him?" Cao Jixiang was worried that Ye Cheng had slipped through the net.
"My servant didn't know that after receiving the news, he was surrounded and killed several times when he escaped from home. He was killed on the road."
"I can testify." Jiang Cheng, the younger brother of eunuch Jiang Mian, spoke up to testify.
Cao Jixiang was doubtful and looked at Wen En: "The eunuch who collects the tribute bucket is actually a member of the Supreme Emperor. Even our family was surprised!"
"This slave is not from the Supreme Emperor, I am a royal guard!"
Wen En actually said that he was dead, and it was the Emperor's people who gave him a secret signal and ordered him to obey orders.
After the incident, that person also informed him in advance to evacuate.
If interrogation is not possible here, the five people must be sent to the palace and handed over to the emperor, and then we are done.
Cao Jixiang winked and asked people to control these five people.
"Battle Supervisor, what should we do with these two Taoist priests?" Tang Xu asked.
"Send them to the palace together and let your Majesty handle them!"
As for the Taoist priests in Chaotian Palace, they should be dealt with by Your Majesty.
"Send people to seal off all the doors of Chaotian Palace and send people to guard them. No one is allowed to leave the palace without the emperor's decree!" Cao Jixiang made a decision immediately.
Catching Xu Youzhen and others is a great achievement, but if you interfere too much, it will turn into a serious mistake.
What Xu Youzhen stole was the Liku treasure. If Xu Youzhen identified the channel through which the treasure was sold, and the emperor went to look for it but couldn't find anything, he would definitely be suspected of Cao Jixiang.
Your Majesty, alas, it is difficult to take care of you.
For the sake of safety, Cao Jixiang directly put the person in a coffin and took him to the Meridian Gate. When he arrived at the Meridian Gate, the guards could take over.
"Battle Governor, this Chaotian Palace is extremely rich. If you can..." Tang Xu looked greedy.
"Are you looking for death? Huh?"
Cao Jixiang glanced at him: "Who are you? A traitor! Do you have a life to spend the money I give you? What is the emperor's imperial edict? Just follow it. Do more and do less. It's all sin. Do you understand?"
"I understand, I understand, I understand." Tang Xu was sweating coldly.
"Go to Lingji Palace!"
Cao Jixiang is only responsible for collecting the incense money and does not ask about anything else!
Don't dare to ask.
He even didn't dare to ask why Chaotian Palace was connected with the Supreme Emperor. It was all a royal secret and it would be easy to lose his head if he knew it.
…
Huang family.
"What did you say? In Chaotian Palace? How is that possible!"
Shu Liang looked at Zhang Zhong in surprise: "Zhang Jin is in Chaotian Palace?"
"I didn't expect that."
"Li Wenying and Zhou Yingyu, the stewards of Chaotian Palace, have both received favors from the Supreme Emperor."
"The firearms you investigated when seizing the door were always hidden in Chaotian Palace."
"So, is there any surprise that Zhang Jin faked his death and escaped and hid in Chaotian Palace?"
Zhang Zhong smiled lightly.
He was still immature and did not use Zhang Jin's hiding place to blackmail Shu Liang.
This is the self-confidence of being the legitimate son of Wang Jue.
Although he is a lame man, he is more generous than Zhang Mao, that concubine's trash!
"Chaotian Palace, why do you help the Supreme Emperor? Just because of a small favor?" Shu Liang's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
The Emperor is his God, and anyone who turns to the Supreme Emperor should die!
If Beijing hadn't needed the British Duke to stabilize the situation, he would have killed the British Duke's line long ago!
Zhang Zhong curled his lips and laughed at Shu Liang for his lack of education.
"I don't have time to talk to you, please hurry up!" Shu Liang was furious.
"In short, Tianshi Dao is not monolithic."
"After the death of Immortal Zhang Yuchu, Zhang Maocheng could no longer shoulder the responsibility of the Heavenly Master. When it was passed to Zhang Yuanji, it was impossible to deal with the various factions in the sect."
"For example, Li Wenying, Zhou Yingyu and others all have the idea of starting a sect."
"Zhang Fu was well aware of the contradictions within the Celestial Master Taoism, so he roped in Li Wenying and Zhou Yingyu and used the establishment of a new Taoism as a bait to lure these two people into a trap and be used by the Supreme Emperor."
Zhang Zhong only hates his own uncle!
He is the legitimate son, but he cannot inherit the family business because of his two biological uncles, Zhang Shi and Zhang Fu!
Previously, he thought that these two brothers were deceiving the current emperor, and since the emperor now had a bastard to inherit the family business, he had a bad taste in his heart. Naturally, he looked at mung beans with the bastard born of Zhang Mao's cheap concubine, so he disgusted him with Zhang Mao's attack on the prince.
But Shu Liang's words changed his impression of the current emperor.
But isn't he borrowing Shu Liang's hand to knock down the mountain of Zhang Fu?
If Zhang Fu falls, will Zhang Mao, as his ally, have a good outcome?
Nowadays, the nobility has declined, and there are only two big mountains left among the nobility, the British Duke's Palace and the Chengguo Duke's Palace. The emperor will not rashly knock down a big mountain before he has a sufficient number of honorable ministers.
If he is loyal, the fisherman will benefit.
"How about you go with me to the Chaotian Palace and capture Zhang Jin. I will personally ask the emperor for your merit and make you the British Duke?" Shu Liang didn't want to wait any longer.
He knew very well how the emperor feared Zhang Fu.
Now Zhang Fu's biggest weakness has appeared. As long as Zhang Jin is caught, Zhang Fu will defeat himself.
Because Zhang Fu only has an only son, Zhang Jin, and it is probably impossible to have another son at Zhang Fu's age, so he will definitely return to Beijing and will never dare to defect to Mobei.
"Then..." Zhang Zhong glanced at the Huang family.
"Come here, confiscate this house. Keep the wounded under guard while the others follow the governor!"
Shu Liang's eyes flashed coldly: "I don't know how you came to the Huang family. I only know that you, Zhang Zhong, are my friends."
Zhang Zhong must have been deceived and waded into this muddy water.
In other words, someone wants to use Dongchang's help to kill Zhang Zhong so that he can benefit from it, right? Zhang Mao?
"Set off!"
Shu Liang led his troops straight to Chaotian Palace.
Zhang Zhong couldn't ride a horse, and he had leg problems and couldn't walk. Shu Liang didn't mind the trouble and had someone carry him on his back.
Arrive at Chaotian Palace.
Compared with catching Zhang Jin, money comes second, not to mention that there is not much money left.
When he arrived at Chaotian Palace, Shu Liang was confused. The four doors of Chaotian Palace were sealed, and patrolling battalions stood in front of the doors.
Shu Liang reported his family status.
"Damn it, I don't know what the East Factory and the West Factory are. I only listen to the orders of the camp governor!" A big man with a rough face and a prison uniform was wearing a prison uniform.
Gong Hui drew his sword: "Dongchang is doing business, everyone needs to retreat! Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"
"Come on, come on, chop me up and see. I am on duty as an emperor. I have orders from the emperor. If you dare to kill me, you are rebelling!"
The gangster stretched out his neck, patted his own neck, and asked Gong Hui to chop him.
Gong Hui saw that he was rude and was about to take action.
But Shu Liang stopped him. He heard the big man talking about sending the emperor's mission. Could it be that this camp also belonged to the emperor?
He sent someone to negotiate with this person, but this big man was just a gangster. He didn't know a word of Chinese characters. He only knew how to obey the orders of the camp governor Cao Jixiang. The orders of others were useless.
"Mr. Factory, fight in!"
Gong Hui whispered: "There are at most a dozen of them, stop us!"
Shu Liang pondered, Cao Jixiang must have been sent by the Emperor. Naturally, this patrol camp belonged to the Emperor, so there was no need to shout and kill.
"Is there any other way to Chaotian Palace?" Shu Liang asked Zhang Zhong.
"How do I know this?"
Zhang Zhong shrugged: "Let's just go in. It's just a few local ruffians. Can they stop you from the East Factory?"
"Go and tell them that Dongchang was ordered to do something, and he and Eunuch Cao are from the same group!" Shu Liang's eyes flickered.
He spread his rumors and blocked the main road to Chaotian Palace.
If this group of people still doesn't understand each other, then rush in.
…
Mengzhou destroyed four pawnshops one after another.
They are all big pawnshops in Beijing, and they have gained a lot.
But he suffered a defeat in Wang Ji's pawnshop.
This Wang remembered that all the owners and managers of the pawnshop were killed, but the pawnshop was empty, and he was surrounded by people who asked him to hand over the money.
If you encounter something bad, you will eat it.
"Damn it, I always take other people's stolen goods! There's no time when I'm blocked!"
Mengzhou led his people to rush out of the house to blockade the enemy.
As a result, I went into pawn shops several times and was robbed first.
Every time I was blocked by the servants.
He realized that something was wrong. Someone had set a trap for him to get inside.
The other party came for Dongchang's skin. They robbed the pawnshop, but they didn't dare to say anything about it, so they needed Dongchang's big flag to help them lift the blame and put the blame on Dongchang's head.
"I'm so damn stupid!"
Mengzhou slapped himself hard on the forehead, and then he came back to his senses after being used as a gun.
"Captain, what should I do?" Zhou Cheng asked worriedly. He was worried about his future, as if he had bet on the wrong person.
"I still want to ask you? Don't bother me, let me think about it!"
People No. 60 and 70 looked at Meng Zhou.
After a long time, Mengzhou gritted his teeth and said: "Split it into small flags, with ten people in one small flag, and five small flags as one general flag."
"Split it into two general flags. I will take one general flag and sweep it in front."
"A general bannerman is following me behind. They all took off their Dongchang clothes. When I am surrounded by servants, you quickly pass by them and look for me along this street."
"This trap has been set up in a hurry. If you look ahead, you will definitely find the trap!"
"Who wants to be another general flag?"
Meng Zhou's method is stupid enough.
"Reporting to the captain, I want to be the captain!" Zhou Cheng wants to be the general flag.
But it provoked a burst of ridicule.
Even Mengzhou doesn't think highly of him. Although the general banner behind him is not dangerous, it needs to be bold and careful. Zhou Cheng is a flatterer, and he can't see his ability.
"Take the mark!"
A loud voice sounded, and a middle-aged man with a little bow legs walked out. He was good at horseback riding, and Meng Zhou knew it.
"what is it call?"
"My name is Fan Qing!"
Fan Qing's voice was clear. He said he wanted to be the leader, but he didn't get ridicule from Zhou Cheng. Instead, some people said they supported Brother Fan.
"Okay, you do it!"
Meng Zhou patted him on the shoulder: "When you are an official, you have to show some ability. I tell you, if you can't find someone, I will kill you! But don't be afraid, these brats dare not listen to you and directly Kill him! I'm going to find the bastard who set up the trap!"
"I can do it under the bid!" Fan Qing was very confident.
Before joining Dongchang, he worked as a detective for seven years. After entering Dongchang, he was very popular because of his superior martial arts skills.
Mengzhou was too lazy to talk nonsense and quickly split up the team. He led 30 people under a general banner and continued to be led by the nose.
Fan Qing led a team to take off Dongchang's robes and boots, and stored the horses in a place for several people to watch.
Then walk quickly in light clothes.
After chasing for several streets, I finally found clues.
A group of masked strongmen were robbing a pawnshop. This group was clean and tidy, and the powerful servants were no match for them, so they were easily dealt with.
Then he quickly transported the things away and began to set up traps, waiting for Mengzhou to take the bait.
"Quickly, send someone to inform the captain!" Fan Qing said in a low voice.
Mengzhou was still feeling cowardly and was blocked time and time again. Dongchang's reputation for gangsters and gangsters spread like wildfire.
"What's wrong? I didn't let you be the general flag. Are you feeling unhappy?" Meng Zhou glanced at Zhou Cheng.
"I don't dare to bid." Zhou Cheng said listlessly.
Meng Zhou curled his lips and sneered. This man was a villain and could not make a difference, so he simply didn't bother to pay attention to him.
Finally, a tip from Fan Qing was received.
"Damn it! This coward's anger is stuck in my throat. It's finally my turn to take revenge!"
Meng Zhou got on his horse and said, "Brothers, rush with me!"
He brought out more than twenty horses and gave half of them to Fan Qing. However, Fan Qing was worried that the horses would be eye-catching and not conducive to arresting people, so he returned to the Mengzhou team.
Fan Qing climbed up, silently.
But the sound of horse hooves alerted the strong men, who immediately abandoned their silver chariots and fled in all directions.
"Damn it! I didn't bring a crossbow!"
Meng Zhou cursed on horseback, but in the middle of the night, even with a crossbow, he was shooting randomly.
"Fan Qing, don't grab things, arrest people first!" Mengzhou rode quickly, tightened the reins, jumped up, and kicked a masked man over hard.
Not to be outdone, Fan Qing caught several masked men.
"Damn, you have some tricks up your sleeve!" Meng Zhou cursed, got off his horse, and took off his mask. It looked like he was a practitioner.
"It's an escort!" Fan Qing judged it by touching the calluses on their hands.
"Which escort agency? How dare you fucking rob Dongchang's things? I'm tired of living!" Meng Zhou stabbed him in the stomach first.
His techniques are superb, very torturous but not fatal.
"Tell me, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, so I will go to your employer and tell you, I will let you treat the injury and save your life."
Mengzhou stabbed hard, and the man screamed in pain.
"If it goes any deeper, it will be hopeless. If you die, how can I ask others if you want to tell me?" Meng Zhou let go of the knife handle and let his stomach support the weight of the knife handle, making the pain even more unbearable.
"Xinglong Escort Agency!" the man called.
Meng Zhou frowned slightly: "Xinglong Escort Agency is run by Shanxi people?"
The man nodded.
puff!
The tip of the knife passed through his back. He opened his mouth wide and looked at Meng Zhou in disbelief. Didn't he promise to let me go?
"I hate unloyalty guys the most!"
Mengzhou drew out the blade and waved his hand: "Kill them all! Follow me and take away this Xinglong Escort Agency's lair!"
Puff puff!
The white knife went in and the red knife came out, and the seven or eight men in black who were caught were killed.
"Put the things away and leave two brothers to guard them. The others will follow me!"
Meng Zhou has lived in Beijing for some years and has heard about various forces in Beijing. As soon as he got on his horse, he turned to Fan Qing and asked: "What is the surname of the owner of Xinglong Escort Bureau?"
"If I return to the school as a captain, my surname will be Wang." Fan Qing has served as a police officer and knows everything about the escort agency.
"Which king?"
"Yangqu Wang family!"
Yangqu is the administrative seat of Taiyuan Prefecture.
Meng Zhou frowned: "Fan Qing, what is Wang's biggest business in Beijing?"
Fan Qing was stunned and suddenly realized: "Pawn shop!"
Among the several pawn shops he entered before, there was Wang's Pawn Shop.
The shopkeeper and the manager were all dead. He didn't think much about it at the time, but looking back now, the Xinglong Escort Bureau that robbed the pawnshop was the property of the Wang family. Isn't this the thief's cry to catch the thief?
"Damn it, I was tricked by a dog businessman!"
Mengzhou turned the horse's head and asked: "Who knows the Wang family's mansion?"
Dongchang specializes in collecting protective gifts, so he naturally knows the merchants in Beijing well. There is a man named Zhao Kaifu who pointed out the direction.
Meng Zhou led his people and roared away.
The horse trampled the Wang family's mansion.
Strangely, it was as calm as water in front of the Wang family's residence, as if the Wang family were not businessmen but an official residence, and there were no servants taking advantage of the situation to bother them.
"Captain, something's not right." Fan Qing whispered.
"Afraid of a bird, rush in!"
Mengzhou left people to watch the horses, climbed over the wall with a knife, and his subordinates climbed in one after another.
The house was peaceful, and there was even the sound of reading aloud.
"Damn it, if I knew this was a merchant, I would have thought I had entered the No. 1 Scholar's Palace!"
Mengzhou Dalala walked forward, and someone came in, which naturally alarmed the boy.
He was very murderous and would kill anyone he saw.
Fight your way into the main hall.
In the main hall, the head of the Wang family, Wang Shichen, was having a pleasant conversation with Zhao Rong, the left minister of the Ministry of Industry, about poetry.
When the door was kicked open and he saw Meng Zhou with a murderous look on his face, Wang Shichen's expression changed.
Zhao Rong put down the chess pieces and suddenly shouted: "Who dares to disturb my elegance?"
Zhao Rong wears official robes and is not angry but has authority.
Although Mengzhou was reckless, he recognized the official robe and was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and said, "I will send you Mengzhou, the reconnaissance school captain of Dongchang, to pay tribute to the superior officer!"
If Shu Liang were here, he would definitely be slapped to death.
Dongchang fanzi only kneels to the emperor, but others are worthy of kneeling?
But not long after Shu Liang took charge of Dongchang, the servility of Dongchang remained unchanged.
It was all because the emperor had broken his arm in recent years and the factory guards had become the playthings of civil servants, so Mengzhou was so frightened when he saw Zhao Rong wearing a third-grade official robe.
"Dongchang? Reconnaissance captain? What a fart!"
Zhao Rong angrily rebuked: "I am Zhao Rong, the left minister of the Ministry of Industry. Who asked you to break into private houses and kill people openly?"
Meng Zhou's expression changed sharply, knowing that he was in the wrong.
If the matter of robbing money was brought to the court, the factory owner would definitely not protect him.
"Your Majesty, Sir, Biao, Biao has been ordered to search the merchant's residence..." Meng Zhou faltered, without the heroic spirit when killing, and more like a slave.
"Search the merchant's mansion? Who gave you the order? Shu Liang? I will go to court tomorrow morning and ask Shu Liang for help!" Zhao Ronghu pretended to be powerful.
In fact, I was scared to death.
How dare he mess with Shu Liang? Shu Liang is grabbing his pigtails all over the world.
Because he is a member of the Supreme Emperor, he should pretend to be dead at this time.
It just so happens that he is Li Xian's man.
The Wang family is the core family of Shanxi merchants. In recent years, Shanxi merchants have supported Chen Xun a lot, but now they support Li Xian.
To put it bluntly, Shanxi merchants are now Li Xian's pocketbook.
Li Xian was worried that the Wang family would be broken into, so he asked Zhao Rong to take charge personally to protect the Wang family.
But what Li Xian and Zhao Rong didn't expect was that Wang Shichen was even more of a tyrant. He took advantage of Li Xian's power to take advantage of others, and even put the shit basin on Dongchang's head. It was so audacious.
"I don't dare to bid, I don't dare to bid!"
Meng Zhou knelt on the ground, not daring to move.
"How many people have you killed? Let's get real!" Zhao Rong is an old official. If he let Meng Zhou go directly, Meng Zhou would definitely be suspicious, so he would have to see blood.
I killed a mere reconnaissance captain, what could Shu Liang do?
"Not marked!"
Mengzhou gritted his teeth and said, "Please let me know, Sir, I will lead you out of the Wang family's mansion right now and never step foot in again!"
"Quit? Kill people and retreat if you want. Where is the law of the country for you?"
Zhao Rong scolded: "Your name is Mengzhou. I will remember you. Your name will appear on the memorial. Whether you are dead or alive will be judged by Dali Temple! Get out!"
He ignored Wang Shichen's eyes and put on all his official airs!
Because he didn't know that Wang Shichen sent people to cheat outside. Not only did they make a lot of money, but they also put a bucket of shit on Dongchang's head.
Wang Shichen wanted to speak, but Zhao Rong waved his hand and stopped him.
When Meng Zhou heard this, a surge of anger surged into the sky, but he did not dare to explode.
Bite the bullet and explain: "Please listen to your explanation..."
"I won't listen. If you want to explain, go and explain to Dali Temple and get out!" Zhao Rong didn't take Mengzhou seriously at all.
Compared with the dignified third-rank officials of the imperial court, the reconnaissance captain of Dongchang was far behind.
"The bid..." Meng Zhou still wanted to say.
"Shut up and get out!"
Zhao Rong shouted sharply. When Meng Zhou refused to leave, he looked at Wang Shichen: "Brother Wang, ask your servants to drive him out!"
Wang Shichen is sitting on wax.
Zhao Rong didn't know, but he knew what he had done.
When he winked at Zhao Rong before, he actually wanted Zhao Rong to say soft words so that he could win over Meng Zhou with money.
Anyway, there is war and chaos outside, and there is plenty of money. The worst thing is to give Mengzhou a share, so that harmony can make money.
But Zhao Rongfei put on official airs and blocked the escape route.
According to his original idea.
At dawn, the Nine Gates Admiral's Mansion came out to maintain order, and the dust settled. Then he would have a showdown with Li Xian. Li Xian was his backer, so he could only pinch his nose to help him withstand the thunder. At worst, he would be more aggressive than Li Xian Small money.
But Mengzhou's intrusion disrupted his calculations.
This man must die!
Wang Shichen had the qualities of a hero. With a wave of his hand and a look from his servant, Meng Zhou was killed directly.
"ah!"
Mengzhou crawled out from the sea of blood in the mountain of corpses. When the four servants approached him, a cold feeling hit him from behind, and a stinging sensation came. He lay on the ground subconsciously, turned his head and saw the blood on the knife. Almost killed him.
He rolled his body forward, took out his sword, and used his strength to slash, knocking over a servant.
"Why do you want to kill me?"
Meng Zhou jumped up and hit the servant's wrist with his knife, and the dagger fell to the ground.
He pointed at the dagger and glared at Zhao Rong.
Zhao Rong was also confused and looked at Wang Shichen.
"Misunderstanding."
Wang Shichen looked embarrassed and secretly scolded the servant for being unlucky and what a bunch of losers!
"Misunderstand?"
"I think you guys are in the same group! You want to kill me!"
"You, the noble minister, colluded with merchants to kill the captain of the East Factory!"
"I am going to file a complaint against you before His Majesty!"
Meng Zhou's eyes turned red: "Kill them all! Kill them all!"
"Captain Meng, calm down." Zhao Rong's expression changed.
He couldn't figure out why Wang Shichen wanted to kill someone. He didn't see your servant, so he was nothing in front of the human world. Why are you so stupid as to kill someone?
"Calm down your ass!"
"Zhao Rong, I will remember you!"
"I will report it to the factory owner right now. I suspect that you are colluding with him and have evil intentions!"
Meng Zhou smiled ferociously, who wouldn't know how to frame someone up?
"Fan Qing! Kill!" Meng Zhou ordered.
Fan Qing did not dare to disobey and led others on a killing spree.
Hearing the screams, Wang Shichen didn't expect Mengzhou to be so decisive in his actions, his family!
Snapped!
Meng Zhou suddenly slapped Wang Shichen in the face: "Tell me, why did you blame Dongchang after robbing the pawn shop? Tell me!"
"Ah?" Zhao Rong was startled, his mind suddenly changed, and he instantly understood why Wang Shichen wanted to kill Meng Zhou.
He pointed at Wang Shichen: "You, how dare you!"
"Master Zhao, don't listen to this kid's nonsense. I am wronged!"
Wang Shichen cried and howled: "I'm wronged. I didn't do anything. The disaster is coming from the sky!"
He would not admit it even to death.
Snapped!
Meng Zhou slapped Wang Shichen hard on the face again: "Unjustly accused? If you go to Dongchang Prison, you will no longer be unjustly accused!"
Wang Shichen's mouth was bleeding and he shouted that he was wronged.
At this time, Fan Qing escorted more than a dozen people into the main hall.
Wang Shichen was surprised and regretful that his family was not dead, but Mengzhou obviously would not let his family go!
"Master Zhao, if you bid for the next book, the bidder will also file a complaint against you to His Majesty!"
Meng Zhou pointed at Wang Shichen: "He sent his escorts to wear masks and pretend to be strongmen to rob the pawn shop, and then framed the blame on Dongchang!"
"Do you know what he is doing? Master Zhao!"
Mengzhou took the risk.
He also saw clearly that even if he continued to give in, Wang Shichen would kill him. Rather than being killed, it was better to strike first.
Gulu!
Zhao Rong swallowed his saliva. He didn't expect that he would be tricked by Wang Shichen!
That fool Li Xian was sold by Wang Shichen, and he was still counting the money!
Instead, I brought my officer in!
"Captain Meng, this matter still needs investigation, why don't we sit down and discuss it carefully." Zhao Rongqiang forced a smile.
Mengzhou was slightly shocked. He didn't expect that the dignified Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Industry would actually bow to him.
It turns out that even giant civil servants are sometimes afraid.
"Kneel down and beg me!" Meng Zhou licked his lips, feeling a little excited.
"What did you say? Please?"
Zhao Rong's eyes widened and he laughed angrily: "I am the noble servant Zuo, you are just a reconnaissance captain, you are not worthy of even carrying my shoes, but you actually asked me to kneel down and beg you? Are you crazy? Bar!"
"Master Zhao, you are right. I am just a little captain, not even qualified to carry your shoes. However, your life is in my hands!"
Meng Zhou smiled evilly: "This captain will give you one last chance. Kneel down and beg me."
"you you!"
Zhao Rong was so angry that he was shaking all over.
"I say this for the last time, kneel down and beg me!"
Zhao Rong walked away with a puff of sleeves: "Okay, you can go ahead and file a complaint! I'm waiting for you!"
Let him kneel down to Mengzhou, it is better to let him die!
"Master Zhao, what if Wang Shichen said that you planned it?" Meng Zhou suddenly pointed at one of Wang Shichen's concubines.
Screams were heard, and the concubine was killed with a knife.
Zhao Rong's body trembled and he slowly turned around.
He looked at Mengzhou, and he really underestimated this little school captain. He was not only brave, but also his brain, but his character was a little crazy.
He laughed at Mengzhou, and his smile was full of malice.
Finger fingers.
"ah!"
Another room was killed, and Wang Shichen's face was pale. He was worried that Mengzhou's next refers to his son!
Plop!
Zhao Rong slowly kneeling on the ground, the dignity of the left servant of the Ministry of Industry, the dignity of the literati, and the dignity of the jinshi, all turned into black at this moment.
He was very clear about one thing. If Mengzhou went to Her Majesty, His Majesty would immediately kill him!
Because his name is Zhao Rong!
He is too emperor!
So it's enough!
He regretted it, and he shouldn't appear in Wang Shichen's house! Damn Wang Shichen, why do you have to go out to grab money and grab money, why do you plant it to East Factory!
You want to die, don't pull us to die together!
"Master Zhao, how can you give me a little school captain on his knees?" Mengzhou's voice deliberately imitated Zhao Rong, causing laughter.
Zhao Rong closed his eyes desperately.
"You will not be guilty of guilty, really with Wang Shichen! Master Zhao!" Mengzhou directly planted a gorgeous marriage.
