Wang Zhizhou sat in his seat with a livid face. At this moment, the magistrate of Suzhou in the Song Dynasty was mumbling something.
Only the confidant standing next to him could hear clearly. It was Wang Zhizhou, a fellow student of Prime Minister Cai, who was madly complaining about the Zhu family father and son in Hu Jian dialect.
The Zhu family, father and son, have been able to be so arrogant and domineering in Suzhou over the years, and naturally they cannot do without the protection and connivance of him, the governor of Suzhou.
Wang Zhizhou would never admit it because the Zhu family and his son were so filial that he felt very comfortable.
In the past few days, the entire city of Suzhou has been filled with a strange energy.
This made Wang Zhizhou, who originally had no interest in political affairs and just lived a newlywed life with Wu Nong's coquettish ninth concubine, also noticed that something was wrong.
But the problem is, he sent someone to question the Zhu family and his son, but they were rebuffed by the other party saying that his biological father was out of town for business and Zhu Meng was ill.
"You bastard, he thinks that father and son are nothing more than the prime minister's dogs. How dare you be so arrogant and domineering in front of me."
"Master, you'd better calm down. Let's wait first. Maybe Mr. Zhu is really sick."
After hearing the words of his confidant, Wang Zhizhou subconsciously raised his head and glared at this confidant fiercely. He was a bastard. It seemed that he had collected money from the Zhu family on weekdays.
At this moment, bursts of noise came from the distance, and there were even cries and screams.
At this moment, Wang Zhizhou couldn't help but change his face, and quickly picked up his front and hurried out of the hall door.
Then he saw that the originally closed courtyard door was violently knocked open, and countless ferocious strong men with swords and sticks poured in from behind.
Surrounded by a middle-aged man wearing iron armor, he was walking quickly towards this direction.
Seeing this scene, Wang Zhizhou's face suddenly turned pale, and he forced out a smile, trying hard to maintain the demeanor and demeanor of a dignified Zhizhou.
"I thought it was who was making the noise here. It turned out to be my nephew. Why did you bring so many people here? Could it be that something happened in Suzhou City? I need my help."
Zhu Meng strode forward with his men who were copying knives and holding sticks. Hearing Wang Zhizhou's words, the corner of his mouth subconsciously tilted. Ouch, this old guy is interesting...
"Wang Zhizhou, I'm really sorry. I have received news that the governor of Zhejiang Province, Gao Zhang, and his two deputy envoys came all the way south. They acted arrogantly and had a very bad reputation."
"After entering the Liangzhe Road, he began to plunder people's wealth. In order to save the lives of the people in Suzhou, my father specially dispersed all his family wealth and went to Wuxi..."
"I am willing to bear everything for the people of Suzhou in exchange for the mercy of the governor. Unexpectedly, they actually detained my father and confiscated all his property."
"And knowing that my Zhu family is rich, they even tortured me to extract a confession, forcing my father to admit rebellion and conspiracy..."
"What? Conspiracy, rebellion..."
Wang Zhizhou, who was still thinking about how to turn around and find a way to comfort Zhu Meng, now looked as if someone had put a layer of lime on his face.
"Not bad." Zhu Meng held the Japanese sword on his waist and walked slowly towards Wang Zhizhou.
"As the saying goes, if the government forces the people to rebel, the people have no choice but to rebel. My Zhu family has been a virtuous family for generations, but we met such a foolish and unscrupulous king, and sent in such a greedy and treacherous governor."
"Heaven is unfair, so Zhu can only use this knife in his hand to seek justice from the court."
Wang Zhizhou's snow-white chrysanthemum old face broke through his defense instantly, and his legs went weak and he almost knelt down. Fortunately, he was experienced and managed to get down the steps.
He wanted to hold Zhu Meng's hand holding the knife, but he was afraid that his action would cause him to be stabbed in the head, so he could only smile flatteringly.
"My dear nephew, you must not think like this. The court will not be deceived by traitors for too long."
"What's more, there is my official. I am from Cai Tong's hometown and come from his sect."
"As long as you tell me the truth, I will immediately submit a letter to Prime Minister Cai and rush it to Bianliang, Tokyo. I will definitely get justice for you and bring justice to your father and son..."
"Prime Minister Cai..." Zhu Meng's eyelids jumped wildly when he heard this title.
He looked straight at Wang Zhizhou, who met Zhu Meng's expression and eyes with unclear meaning.
I thought the other party didn't believe it, so I quickly patted my chest and said.
"You must believe me. Prime Minister Cai is the most protective person. I and you are both his disciples."
"If something happens to you and me, how can he not help me? So as long as you can calm down and stabilize the overall situation..."
"Prime Minister Cai protects his shortcomings, right..."
Zhu Meng repeated this sentence in a murmur.
Wang Zhizhou's head almost turned into a chicken pecking at the rice.
"Of course, why did I lie to you? This is the truth."
"Then I dare to ask Wang Zhizhou, do you think the two dogs in front of Prime Minister Cai's house like you and me are lighter than Prime Minister Cai's beloved son? Who is more important?"
"..." Wang Zhizhou stared blankly at Zhu Meng, wondering if this kid was really crazy. He actually compared me to him as a hawk and dog.
Cai Xiang’s beloved son, what does this have to do with you and me? Hiss, that's not right...
In just the blink of an eye, Wang Zhizhou's eyes fluctuated violently.
"Thank you Wang Zhizhou for clarifying my doubts. I think I already know the answer."
Zhu Meng showed a strange and ferocious smile, and slowly drew out the Japanese sword at his waist.
As the Japanese sword was slowly unsheathed, the cold light reflected by it dazzled Wang Zhizhou's old eyes.
Wang Zhizhou stumbled backwards. At this moment, his lower lapel was soaked with the scared liquid, but Wang Zhizhou still struggled to death, hoping to impress Zhu Meng.
"My dear nephew, my dear nephew, whatever you want to do, I and your father are brothers and sisters. Nothing is non-negotiable..."
"Since Wang Zhizhou and my father are like brothers, so be it. I will send Wang Zhizhou on his way first, to Huangquan Road, and wait for my father..."
With a cry, the Japanese sword was drawn out, drawing a bright blade of light in mid-air, and struck Wang Zhizhou fiercely.
Wang Zhizhou screamed strangely, fell to the ground, and began to crawl up the steps.
At this moment, the confidant who was standing blankly on the steps turned around and ran away without hesitation.
Zhu Meng Tie's face was livid when his sword hit the target. He rushed forward angrily, roaring wildly, and struck again with the Japanese sword.
In front of the disciples and followers, a streak of blood burst into sight, followed immediately by an unpleasant cracking sound.
Wang Zhizhou, whose arm was cut off directly, rolled on the steps and let out a horrifying wail.
Zhu Meng looked at the Japanese sword in his hand that had its first half broken off, and his eyes twitched.
Cursing, he threw the broken knife that he spent a lot of money aside and roared angrily.
"Bring the knife, a corrupt official who wanted to send fish and meat to the people of Suzhou, a henchman of the traitor Cai Jing, is dead."
