Zhongyuan Escort Bureau is a special structure. People outside the door cannot hear the sounds inside, but people inside can clearly hear the sounds outside the door.
Zhong Ming and Zhong Heng naturally listened to the whole conversation between the two. In fact, they delayed deliberately because the night clothes and some crime tools were not stored well. Zhong Heng thought carefully and was afraid that Zhang Jiao wanted to get rid of them all. Then take the opportunity to search for the Zhong family.
Finally, after careful preparation, the two opened the door of Zhong Yuan Escort. They found that there were only two people at the door, Fang Huafei and Xie Gang. The formation was not very large, and the fear in their hearts was slightly less, but their hearts were still hanging on.
Soon they arrived at the county government office. In the county government hall, besides Zhang Jiao, the only one besides Huang Wenjie was Wei Gang.
"Brothers from the Zhongyuan Escort Agency are here. On behalf of the people of Julu, I would like to express my gratitude for your contribution to Julu."
Zhang Jiao stepped forward and welcomed the two people in, looking very polite.
This abnormal situation made Zhong Ming even more suspicious, thinking, "Is Zhang Jiao playing some conspiracy? He summoned the two of them over, and it was definitely not as simple as having a drink and a chat."
Although Zhong Heng didn't understand Zhang Jiao's intention, but etiquette cannot be lost, he also replied: "No matter where, this is all because of the wise leadership of Master Zhang and County Magistrate Huang, so we can do our best. "
"Hurry up and show the two of them seats!"
Zhang Jiao ordered the officers and soldiers to get a seat for the second brother of the Zhong family.
The seats were brought, but the two refused to sit down. It turned out that except for Huang Wenjie, Zhang Jiao, and the two brothers, Fang Huafei, Wei Gang, and Xie Gang were all standing. The Zhong brothers were also embarrassed.
Zhang Jiao noticed the other party's restraint and explained: "They are not used to sitting, so they can just stand."
This explanation was very forced, but Zhang Jiao's intention was not to be violated. After weighing it, Zhong Heng still sat down. Zhong Ming on the side saw his brother sitting down, so he sat down as he should.
"I wonder what Master Zhang and County Magistrate Huang summoned us to do?"
Zhong Heng saw that Zhang Jiao had been talking about other things about transporting darts and did not mention a word about the reason for summoning the two people. He became a little anxious and asked.
Zhang Jiao smiled and did not rush to answer the other party. He just pointed at Xie Gang and motioned for him to speak.
Xie Gang understood and said, "Before, you transported a bucket of feces and a bucket of water out of the city on the carriage. Is it related to Yu Yi, who rebelled against the party?"
When these words were said, the faces of the Zhong brothers all looked ugly. Fortunately, Zhong Heng was able to cope with this kind of situation. He stood up and retorted, "I, Zhong, have been practicing darts for decades and I am well-known in Julu City. Last time According to the customer's request, we transported clean water and excrement, so why is it related to the rebel Yu Yi? What is your intention in framing me like this?"
Zhong Heng's righteous words left Xie Gang speechless. He originally thought that this would scare the other party, but he didn't expect to be blocked by the other party.
"Hey, Xie Gang, don't talk nonsense without evidence, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Zhang Jiao glanced at Xie Gang, feeling a little disappointed in his heart. He spoke harshly, but he was also trying to protect the other party.
Xie Gang felt Zhang Jue's anger and quickly stepped aside, kneeling on the ground, motionless.
"It's my fault. Please don't mind, you two. In fact, I called you here just to ask why you need to transport clean water and excrement?"
After Zhang Jiao taught Xie Gang a lesson, he softened his attitude and asked the two men softly.
Zhong Heng laughed inwardly after hearing this. Only Yu Yi could think of this reason. If he hadn't explained it, the secret would have been exposed by now. So Zhong Heng replied: "This customer is a farmer in the countryside. Because of reclamation There is a serious shortage of fertilizers in the fertile fields, coupled with the dry weather, there is a serious water shortage, so we were entrusted to deliver this.”
This explanation was very reasonable. Zhang Jiao suddenly realized that since he could not find any other evidence of collusion between the Zhong family and Yu Yi, he could not keep the two of them anymore. He just asked them about the difficulties in transporting the darts and let them go. They left.
After the Zhong brothers returned to the escort agency, they breathed a sigh of relief. They knew that Zhang Jiao would definitely not let them go so easily, and they should be more careful in the future.
"Have you seen the appearance of County Magistrate Huang Wenjie? Why do you feel like a puppet?"
Zhong Ming remembered that when he was at the county government office, he observed Huang Wenjie's strange behavior, so he reported it to his brother.
Zhong Heng naturally noticed it, but he didn't know why.
In the county government office, there were only two people, Zhang Jiao and Huang Wenjie. Zhang Jiao walked around Huang Wenjie and said to himself: "Huang County Magistrate, it seems that the spell has seriously damaged your brain, and I may not be able to support it. If so, we can only take other measures.”
Zhang Jiao has been controlling Huang Wenjie with spells for a long time. When he summoned the Zhong brothers, the strange looks they gave Huang Wenjie caught Zhang Jiao's attention. Thinking that Julu County Government was completely under his control, he decided to hide Huang Wenjie in the snow. .
That night, the county government reported that Huang Wenjie was seriously ill. Before his death, Huang Wenjie wrote a piece of paper passing the position of county magistrate to Zhang Jiao. Although there were still some objections from the county government, the general trend was unavoidable.
The next day, Zhang Jiao finally sat on the throne of Julucheng County Magistrate and moved to the county government office, leaving Yuyi Pavilion empty again.
The first thing he did when he took office was to post a notice asking officers and soldiers to count the people living in very poor conditions in Julu City. After knowing this, the people seemed very happy and signed up enthusiastically. Then he defrauded these people with huge sums of money. Somewhere, they were surrounded by heavy troops.
Su Ming and Tang Duo are two people who enthusiastically signed up this time. Although their family background is not good, they are righteous and have been praised by the villagers.
I originally thought that the Julu County Government was recruiting volunteers, but unexpectedly, I was locked in a small dark room. The situation was obviously not as advertised.
"You see there are officers and soldiers outside. Why are we being circled like this?"
Su Ming looked out through the only window in the darkroom. He looked very scared inside.
"Let's wait and see what happens. I think the county government may want to test our perseverance."
In fact, Tang Duo couldn't figure out the reason, so he just thought of the good news.
After being closed for a day, Zhang Jiao appeared that night, accompanied by Wei Gang, Xiegang and others.
Zhang Jiao promoted to everyone: "I recruit you here to do a great thing. You know that a very strong infectious disease appeared in Julu City in the early days. To understand the cause of the virus, some experiments are needed. So I will sacrifice you to help everyone."
"What did he mean?"
Su Ming felt unbelievable and didn't believe the scene in front of him, so he quickly asked Tang Duo beside him for confirmation.
"It is to use us as the host of the virus and conduct human experiments."
Dondo explained.
"Why are you doing this to us? We have to leave!"
A cry was raised in the crowd, and others responded.
