"Don't worry, this isn't the first time our brothers have done something like this. We will definitely do it with clean hands and feet!"
The big man with the scar on his forehead couldn't help but lick his lips as he said this, with a bloodthirsty light in his eyes.
He was actually one of the people involved in human trafficking last time. When Zhao Feng rushed in with the government officials from Dali Temple and Shuntian Mansion, he happened to be watching outside and saw something going on inside, so he ran away without thinking.
Later, after investigation, I learned that it was Zhao Feng who disrupted their good deeds. When he thought that so many of his brothers died tragically because of Zhao Feng, this big man wanted to kill Zhao Feng all the time for revenge.
Now that the master finally gave them the order to kill Zhao Feng, he could no longer bear it and came directly with his men.
The ordinary-looking man turned to look at the scarred man, and suddenly took out a paper bag from his arms. When he opened it, he found that there were tiny pills inside.
"This time, the master does not want any news to be leaked. If the matter fails or is caught, he will take poison and commit suicide in time."
Hearing this, those around had shocked expressions on their faces.
They came out to assassinate others not once or twice, but never like this. Seeing the poison on the table, these people couldn't help but hesitate.
The ordinary-looking man first picked up a pill and hid it between his teeth. When using it, he only had to bite his teeth hard to crush the poison.
"Don't think about it. If something goes wrong this time, the master will be kind to your family."
"Which one of us does this kind of thing doesn't have his head stuck in his waistband? Think about the cases you have committed before. If they were exposed, it would be worse than death!"
After hearing this, those people no longer hesitated, and one by one picked up the poison and stuffed it into their teeth.
After they were all ready, they discussed it carefully and planned to take action in the middle of the night when the people were quiet, the moon was dark and the wind was high.
Zhao Feng and Zhou Tong had no idea that the danger was approaching. After eating some food in the lobby of the inn, they went back to their rooms to rest.
Sitting in the room, Zhao Feng recalled some of the things he heard when he returned to the capital this time, and a wry smile appeared on his lips.
No matter what the situation is, there is not much time left for him. Those officials will only seek their own selfish interests and will not care about the situation of this country at all.
Including those officials who supported Zhou Kang, they just wanted to get some benefits from Zhou Kang.
This made Zhao Feng couldn't help but think, what if he couldn't implement the New Deal within half a year?
Previously, Zhao Feng wanted to carry out reforms from the top down. After all, after entering the court, it was very easy to implement those policies with the help of the court.
However, although these policies were implemented, the people in the world were not willing to believe that these new policies could really improve their lives. So, under the instigation of some officials, the entire Zhou Dynasty was very dissatisfied with these new policies. Rejection is the root cause of one's own failure.
So this time Zhao Feng plans to change his approach and carry out reforms from the bottom up.
Just when Zhao Feng was thinking about how to use Zhou Tong's fiefdom to do this, he unknowingly realized that it was already late at night.
Seeing that it was dark outside, Zhao Feng shook his head and was about to blow out the candles and go to bed when there was a sudden knock on the door.
Zhao Feng immediately frowned and asked coldly.
"who?"
As a result, Zhou Tong's voice came from outside.
"Mr. Zhao, I can't sleep. Can you come in and sit down?"
Zhao Feng breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he might have been a little too vigilant, so he walked over and opened the door. He saw Zhou Tong wearing only a coat outside his tight-fitting underwear. Under the moonlight, he looked very sad.
"Your Highness, you have to continue your journey tomorrow. Why don't you go back to your room and rest?"
Zhou Tong shook his head and saw that Zhou Tong was wearing thin clothes. Zhao Feng was also worried that Zhou Tong would be infected with the cold again, so he let Zhou Tong in.
Zhou Tong walked in and sat at the table, then propped his chin on his hand and looked at the flickering candlelight on the table.
"Mr. Zhao, this time you returned to the capital, I heard that you went to see my mother?"
Zhao Feng nodded slightly, it was not a secret, so he said.
"Yes, the Queen called me over, asked me about some cosmetics, and asked me to help you develop your fiefdom."
Zhou Tong suddenly became nervous, turned his head and looked at Zhao Feng and asked.
"Then my mother didn't say anything else, such as my marriage..."
Zhao Feng quickly shook his head.
"The Queen didn't say these things. Could it be that the Queen wants me to help you find a husband?"
Thinking of this, Zhao Feng couldn't help but have a headache. Zhou Zhen asked him to find a well-matched wife for the eldest prince Zhou Rui, and he had a headache for many days.
If Li Wanyi hadn't happened to come to the capital and fell in love with Zhou Rui at first sight, he wouldn't have known how to solve it.
Zhou Tong suddenly said angrily when he heard Zhao Feng's words.
"What, that's not what I meant..."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was only a shattering sound, and several men in black suddenly kicked the window to pieces and climbed in from the outside.
"ah!"
Zhou Tong was immediately startled and immediately hid in Lin San's arms. Zhao Feng protected Zhou Tong behind him and frowned at the men in black.
The men in black were obviously stunned when they saw Zhou Tong actually in Zhao Feng's room.
They took advantage of the stillness of the night, the darkness and the wind, and planned to climb in through the window, kill Zhao Feng, and then escape quickly, but they did not expect Zhou Tong to be here.
Zhou Tong's scream just now had woken up some people. These men in black gritted their teeth and knew they could no longer hesitate.
"Who are you?"
Zhao Feng asked directly, but his hand had already quietly touched the waist behind his back.
"The person who wants your life should live a better life in the next life. You can't offend anyone!"
As those black men said this, they drew out the long gleaming swords from their waists and approached Zhao Feng.
Zhao Feng frowned. These men in black all had masks on their faces, and there were actually seven or eight of them.
Seeing that the nearest man in black was already slashing at him with a long knife, Zhao Feng did not hesitate, turned slightly sideways, raised his hand and fired a crossbow arrow at him!
The man in black never expected that Zhao Feng would have such skills, nor did he expect that Zhao Feng would carry a crossbow at any time. He only felt a bit of cold light shooting towards his face, and then there was a sudden coldness in the middle of his forehead, and he immediately lost it. perception.
The man in black behind him was immediately startled.
