Peng Yue and Xu Tianhua were stunned for a while.
You didn’t believe it?
Then why are you smiling? I thought you had recruited another guard, but you didn't believe a word of your lover's vomiting.
Li Hu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
This is the Brother Ping I know.
Liu Jia was also dumbfounded.
Do not believe?
How dare I waste so much time spitting?
But people had to bow their heads under the eaves. Liu Jia pondered for a moment before saying, "There are twenty-two guards in the Liu Mansion."
"The ten Heavenly Stems correspond to Liu Jia, Liu Yi, and Liu Gui."
"Twelve Earthly Branches, from Liu Zi to Liu Chou to Liu Hai."
"This is what I know. As for how much I don't know, I don't know."
"As for the distribution situation, all the twelve Earthly Branches are staying outside the capital, hidden in a run-down village. There are men and women. They are no different from ordinary people."
"The person leading the team is guard Liu Gui from Tiangan."
"The remaining guards of Tian Qian are all inside the Liu Mansion, led by the housekeeper Tong Sihai."
"Can you untie me now?"
Liu Jia stretched out his hand again.
Actually said it?
Zhao Ping was in trouble.
He also wanted to get one more master, but the key was that Liu Jia was the bodyguard of Liu Mansion and a dead soldier.
What does the dead man represent?
The mission must be completed at the cost of life.
This time Liu Wenhao issued an order to kill Zhao Ping.
Once Liu Jia is released, will he immediately give himself a fatal blow?
But...if I don't let go, I feel like I'm breaking my promise.
How can I control it in the future?
After careful consideration, Zhao Ping shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I'm sorry, what you said is different from Liu Wenhao."
"What is the difference?"
Liu Jia said: "That guy must have lied."
"He is the eldest son of the Liu family, and he will definitely not reveal the secrets of the Liu family."
"I can judge for myself."
Zhao Ping said indifferently: "Let's go to the second task now."
"After we take down the Tong family, we can go on to the third mission. Once all is completed, you can follow me from now on."
"Huzi, untie him."
Zhao Ping took a few steps back and distanced himself.
Li Hu took the order, untied the rope that tied Liu Jia, and then retreated to Zhao Ping to protect him.
Fortunately, Liu Jia didn't make any rash moves. He just stretched his muscles and then turned around and left.
"He really surrendered?"
Xu Tianhua asked suspiciously: "Are all the dead soldiers so easy to win over now?"
Peng Yue didn't believe it either, "Sir, is there any fraud in this?"
"It must be a scam."
Zhao Ping sneered.
"Then why did you let him go?"
Peng Yue was puzzled.
“Play the long game and catch the big fish.”
Zhao Ping said: "Liu Wenhao is dead, but the dead man can leave alive. This is unreasonable."
"Even if I let him go, Liu Lai will never let him go."
"Only by committing meritorious deeds, avenging Liu Wenhao, and holding my head in front of Liu Lai, can he possibly survive."
"But how to take revenge?"
"After seeing the power of our Xiping Village, he will definitely not dare to overdo it."
"If my estimate is good, he will definitely go to the capital to move reinforcements."
"Since I can't meet Liu Lai in person, and I want to bring in reinforcements, I will naturally look for Liu's guards who are familiar with him."
"We and the Liu Mansion are already sworn enemies."
"Being able to deal with some of his guards is equivalent to reducing the strength of the Liu family. It's better than Liu Lai leading a large number of guards to besiege our Xiping Village, right?"
"That's what I said."
Peng Yue sighed: "But aren't you worried that Sir Liu Jia did not return to the capital, but stayed in the county, waiting for an opportunity to assassinate you?"
"This is a risky move."
Zhao Ping said bitterly: "Who allowed us to face a behemoth like the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue despite our lack of strength?"
"We can only be more cautious."
"I don't plan to come forward these days. Even if I do, I will bring enough guards so that Liu Jia has no chance to make a move and force him to return to Beijing to recruit reinforcements."
"And the county is our territory. Liu Jia's every move is within our sight. He can't make waves by himself."
"All right."
No one said anything else.
Then go and judge others.
All the guards had their molars broken and were poisoned to death. That is to say, Yun Su's guard Yun Teng was retained by Zhao Ping. Unfortunately, this guy knew very little and was just a good bodyguard.
This made Zhao Ping even more suspicious of Liu Jia.
We must send more manpower to prevent the ship from capsizing in the gutter.
However, some of the servants and slaves of the Tong family chose to surrender and confessed the truth one after another.
In fact, there is no truth.
After all, their level is too low and they have no idea of the plans above.
To put it bluntly, it is the existence of recharge.
If they win a battle with a favorable wind, they can kill several opponents along the way; if they lose a battle, they have to start a race.
Zhao Ping did not let them go.
It just so happened that he had plans to make a gun, so gunpowder was indispensable.
Let your own people study it. If it explodes, it would be a pity to die.
Let these people do the trouble.
At least Zhao Ping can guarantee that they will have enough food and clothing before they are killed.
After all this work, it was daybreak.
Zhao Ping was very tired, so he went to rest.
It happened that Liu Mengru also finished persuading Yun Chengze and let him go to rest.
She knew that Zhao Ping was very tired, so she didn't bother him. She took the initiative to help Zhao Ping bathe and change clothes, and helped him sleep.
She lay next to him, looked at his angular face, and fell asleep sweetly.
Li Hu asked Yun Man to strengthen the guard situation and took a nap in front of Zhao Ping's house.
It was three o'clock in the day and Zhao Ping hadn't gotten up yet.
Mu Jianzhang waited impatiently and kept pacing in the guest room.
Zheng Tu and others were also scratching their heads, wondering how Zhao Ping would deal with them, and they were all unhappy.
"time to eat."
The door opened and Mu Qiaoqiao walked in carrying food.
"Cousin, you came just in time."
Mu Jianzhang immediately stepped forward and grabbed her wrist, saying anxiously: "How can I still think about eating now?"
"Hurry up and see if Mr. Zhao is up. I have something important to discuss with him."
"Now you know it's urgent?"
Mu Qiaoqiao pursed her lips and chuckled.
"Can you not be in a hurry?"
Mu Jianzhang said bitterly: "Liu Wenhao led a night raid on Xiping Village and was captured alive. Whether he is alive or dead is uncertain."
"What if sir kills him?"
"Can Xiping Village withstand the wrath of the Minister of Household Affairs?"
"I'm in a hurry to see my husband and stop him from making a big mistake."
"hehe."
Mu Qiaoqiao said disdainfully: "Are you trying to make suggestions for your husband?"
"Sir, I don't know how many times smarter than you are. Do you need you to give me advice?"
"You just want to go talk to your husband and seek stability for your brother. Is it so difficult to tell the truth?"
"this……"
The true purpose was revealed, and Mu Jianzhang smiled awkwardly.
He said helplessly: "Cousin, there is nothing I can do."
"These are my brothers. I brought them to Xiping Village. If I don't bring them back alive, how can I convince the public in the future?"
"Can you help my cousin and let me meet my husband?"
"Can't see you."
Mu Qiaoqiao refused without hesitation, "Sir, please refuse any interruption when you are resting."
"Unless something special happens, I won't even be able to pass Hu Zi's level."
"Why!"
Mu Jianzhang sighed.
But I also know that now I can only wait.
Mu Qiaoqiao left the food behind, turned around and left, the corners of her mouth curling up involuntarily.
This cousin is capable, but he is too arrogant.
Let me, sir, sharpen his temperament so that he can take on big responsibilities in the future.
But it was his cousin after all. Mu Qiaoqiao reported the matter as soon as Zhao Ping got up.
Received by Zhao Ping.
"Sir, I intend to take refuge with you."
When we first met, Mu Jianzhang made his attitude clear, "I will do whatever my husband asks me to do from now on, and I will never shirk."
"I ask you to kill Zheng Tu and the others, are you willing?"
Zhao Ping asked leisurely.
Immediately, Mu Jianzhang stood on the spot in shock.
"Kill, kill them?"
"Why?"
"Because they plan to murder Xiping Village and are my enemies."
Zhao Ping said: "I will never be merciful when dealing with enemies. If I can kill them, I won't let them go."
"I……"
Mu Jianzhang was choked for a moment, but he reacted quickly and hurriedly analyzed the pros and cons with Zhao Ping.
They just used the powerful people in the capital to suppress Zhao Ping, hoping that Zhao Ping would retreat in the face of difficulties.
"Do you think I'll be scared?"
Zhao Ping chuckled lightly, "I dare to kill even Liu Wenhao. Could it be that Zheng Tu and the others are more powerful than the Minister of Hubu?"
"Did you kill Liu Wenhao?"
Mu Jianzhang was shocked.
"Yes, my head has been sealed by me. Find a suitable opportunity and give it to Liu Lai as a congratulatory gift."
"you you……"
Mu Jianzhang pointed at Zhao Ping, shocked and speechless.
If you dare to kill Liu Wenhao, then you dare to kill them.
"Sir, can you please let them go for my sake?"
Mu Qiaoqiao asked weakly from the side.
"able."
Zhao Ping said: "But he has to do one thing for me."
"whats the matter?"
Mu Qiaoqiao asked.
Mu Jianzhang also looked at Zhao Ping nervously.
"Stay alive."
"Survive?"
Mu Jianzhang asked in confusion: "Sir, what does this mean?"
"Give me the silver coins and all the valuable things you have on you, and I will give you two sets of linen clothes to change, and a hundred pieces of soap for you to take with you to Jiangnan."
"Don't reveal your real name, and don't rely on the help of people you know."
"If you sell all the soap within three months, it will cost no less than ten thousand taels of silver, and you will still be alive and well."
"Not only will I let Zheng Tu and the others go, but I will also formally accept you."
"If you violate the rules in the slightest, I'm sorry, Zheng Tu and the others will die."
"How about it? Do you dare to agree?"
"This is your only hope to save Zheng Tu and the others."
