Yuncheng is very lively at night.
Li Yunze and Ye Yutong came to the busiest street in Yuncheng.
The street is busy with traffic, and various lanterns are hung at the entrances of the shops on both sides.
The bright lights echo the soft night.
Such a prosperous Yuncheng is comparable to the capital city.
The two of them didn't stop here any longer. They walked across the street and walked to an inconspicuous courtyard.
Li Yunze knocked lightly a few times, and the inconspicuous wooden door was opened.
The person who opened the door was a squad leader of the cavalry. After they came down from Lingnan Mountain, Li Yunze arranged for them to come to Yuncheng.
Seeing that His Highness and Madam were coming in person, the team leader quickly invited them in.
This small courtyard looks small and old from the outside, but there is something wonderful inside.
Several surrounding yards have been purchased by Uncle Lin, and they are all accessible.
One hundred members of the Cavalry lived here, and the rest lived in the street behind.
Some of them were arranged to help Uncle Lin and Ye Yutong in their shops.
They had received the news yesterday and would take action tonight.
So today more than 200 people from the cavalry gathered around here, including Uncle Lin's men.
The leader of the Yuncheng Branch Hall is Zhou Dasheng, a man in his mid-twenties.
He speaks softly, is chubby, and smiles like Maitreya Buddha, making people feel easy-going and friendly.
Unlike other hall leaders, he does not know martial arts, but he is very good at both black and white in Yuncheng.
In fact, he has another identity, but most people don't know it.
He is Uncle Lin's grandma's old son, and he is also Uncle Lin's brother-in-law.
He was the only child in the Zhou family, and the whole family loved him very much. He had been a lawless little bully since he was a child.
When something happened to Li Yunze's mother, Queen Lin, and the Lin family, Zhou Dasheng was only eleven or twelve years old.
After he found out that his sister, brother-in-law, and niece were murdered, he led his brothers and clamored for revenge with big swords, but no one tried to persuade them to do anything.
Old Mrs. Zhou was already sad, and she was not too young. She was so angry that he fainted and almost died after being made trouble by him.
Old Mrs. Zhou had someone tie him up and beat him up. He also told him the stakes involved, and Zhou Dasheng calmed down.
Although he is the little bully in the family, he is very smart.
Looking at his gray-haired father and his mother lying on the bed, he was silent for two days.
On the third night, he secretly went to find his nephew Lin Zixian.
The two of them lay in bed and talked most of the night. No one knew what they said. Zhou Dasheng went home before dawn the next day.
From then on, he continued to be his little bully as if nothing had happened.
There is nothing he doesn't do except not doing the right thing.
But parents who knew his character noticed it.
My son is more measured in doing things than before, and he stays away from people who cannot be offended.
Even if he was insulted, he would laugh it off as if he didn't take anything to heart.
A year later, Mrs. Zhou died of illness.
Mr. Zhou first lost his daughter, son-in-law, granddaughter, and finally his wife who had always been close to him.
Under the heavy blow, he was too sad. Coupled with his old age, his health was getting worse and worse.
Zhou Dasheng invited all the doctors in the city to treat him, but they could not keep him.
After delaying for more than half a year, Mrs. Zhou also went.
Lin Zixian, on the other hand, was too busy messing with cats and dogs with the dandies in the capital. He didn't even attend the funeral of his grandparents, and only sent the stewards from the palace to pay his respects.
Zhou Da ran to the Lin Mansion angrily, had a fight with Lin Zixian, and severed relations with him.
Then he followed his father's last wish and took his parents' coffins back to his hometown for burial. From then on, he never went to the capital again.
After observing filial piety in my hometown for a year, I came to Yuncheng in a low-key manner and have been operating here for these years, waiting for Li Yunze to grow up.
Zhou Dasheng took someone out to find out the news. As soon as he came back, he heard from his subordinates that Li Yunze and Ye Yutong had arrived, and he immediately went to the backyard.
Just as he was about to salute, Li Yunze pulled Ye Yutong to perform a junior salute before him, and said very respectfully: "Greetings to uncle."
"Oh, I can't do it, I can't do it."
Zhou Dasheng quickly helped the two of them up and was about to kneel down to salute.
Li Yunze supported him with both hands: "What my uncle has done for me and my uncle over the years, we may not be able to repay it in our lifetime.
No matter when in the future, you don’t have to give big gifts to me and Tongtong, only we will give you gifts. "
Ye Yutong also nodded with a smile.
Although it was her first time meeting this young uncle, her second brother had already heard about his deeds in Yuncheng.
The year before last, the second brother and Uncle Lin Zhong came here. The two lived here for half a month and helped Li Yunze and Ye Yutong buy a lot of real estate and land.
After the second brother returned, he was full of praise for Zhou Dasheng, saying that he was capable, loyal, and very popular in Yuncheng. His tone was filled with admiration.
Zhou Dasheng gratefully bowed his hands to the two of them and said repeatedly: "I don't dare, I don't dare..."
Li Yunze smiled and changed the topic, "Uncle, what's the situation outside now?"
When business came down to business, Zhou Dasheng no longer worried about whether to be polite or not, and took them both to the study room in the backyard.
After a few people sat down, Zhou Dasheng personally made tea for them and then said:
"Half a month ago, Yuncheng knew the news of your call. Governor Zhu had already rushed eight hundred miles to deliver the letter to the capital, and martial law has been imposed in the city.
In the past, there were only a few dozen soldiers guarding the city wall at night, but now the number has increased to 300.
The guard changes every hour, and hot water and tung oil are kept on the city wall these days to prevent His Highness from attacking the city. "
When they heard that hot water and tung oil were prepared on the city wall, Li Yunze and Ye Yutong's eyes became sharp.
It seemed that they could not be as merciful as they had been in the past few times, and Governor Zhu of Yuncheng could not be retained.
If he can serve as governor of Yuncheng for seven years, then he is either a member of Queen Mother Qiao or a member of King Pingnan.
No matter which side it is, this person must die.
The two decided to let him be the chicken who killed the chicken and honored the monkey this time.
