However.
Right in everyone's sight.
Wang Zhenghaoxuan stretched out his hands.
One of his hands pressed Zeng Pengcheng's head!
The other hand held Zeng Pengcheng's shoulder!
With a slight exertion of his hand, Zeng Pengcheng lost his center of gravity and sat down next to Wang Zhenghaoxuan.
Zeng Pengcheng's old eyes now completely saw Wang Zhenghaoxuan's appearance. He did not think that this young and energetic face was very handsome.
He is still as stubborn as a stone in a latrine!
"Okay, okay, the harm will last for thousands of years!"
"I am powerless and cannot kill you."
"I also have a lot of missing teeth, but...I still want to bite you to let you know the feeling of pain!"
Saying this, he rushed towards Wang Zhenghaoxuan.
This scared Wang Zhenghaoxuan very much.
After all, being bitten by an old man with few teeth... is very uncomfortable.
Wang Zhenghaoxuan jumped up at that moment, using too much force, and the roof of the pavilion was on top of his head!
"Bang!"
He hit the roof of the pavilion with his head, and Zeng Pengcheng also used too much force, and he fell to the ground with a "pop!"
Amu and the three of them all stood up at this moment.
The two looked at the sunlit roof, and one looked at Zeng Pengcheng who fell to the ground.
Wang Zhenghaoxuan landed on the ground, rubbing his head with one hand and a bag on his head.
He narrowed his eyes and looked at Zeng Pengcheng, who happened to also turn to look at him.
"You crazy old man, have you really had enough?!"
Zeng Pengcheng laughed, lying on the ground and watching Wang Zhenghaoxuan grinning!
There was still blood foaming in the toothless mouth, but two more lines of muddy tears flowed from those old eyes.
"I've had enough!"
"When I see you... my heart dies!"
"Li Chen'an, you're just trying to gain fame...I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost!"
Saying this, he exerted great force, stood up from a sitting position, and bumped his head towards the stone table in the pavilion.
At this critical moment, Xiao Wu, who had been looking at Zeng Pengcheng, stretched out a hand.
His clean eyes lit up with a compassionate light.
His hand also lit up with a glint of light.
His hand happened to be in front of Zeng Pengcheng's head.
His other hand reached out at that moment.
One finger landed on Zeng Pengcheng's sleeping point.
Bai Xiaotian was slightly surprised when he saw Xiao Wu's hand, but he felt relieved after that surprise.
That young man's martial arts is very high.
But Master Zeng will not be in danger of his life for the time being.
I don't know how the regent will deal with him... He is so offended, he must not be able to deal with him well.
Why!
If I had known this, it would be better not to see him!
At least he was in Youzhou Academy, and even if his life was harder, it was still better than going to prison and suffering the inhuman torture.
I hope Old Master Zeng can survive these days.
I hope this lousy regent can escort Old Master Zeng to Kyoto!
Only in this way can we have a chance to kill him at Luofengpo and rescue Old Master Zeng!
In Bai Xiaotian's sight, Xiao Wu picked up Old Master Zeng, thought for a while, picked up a piece of rubble and wrote a line on the ground:
"His energy and blood attack his heart, and his pulse is extremely weak. If we don't treat him, it will be too late. I'll save him!"
Wang Zhenghaoxuan took a deep breath and nodded.
Xiao Wu carried Zeng Pengcheng and walked towards the west wing.
Wang Zhenghao's mood was waning, and he waved towards Tian Xiurong:
"I'm tired, you guys... stand down!"
Tian Xiurong naturally thought that Old Master Zeng had offended the Prince Regent so much that there was absolutely no chance that the old guy would survive again.
He was very happy in his heart.
He quickly bowed and said, "Can the Prince Regent go to the Nine Immortals Tower for another drink tonight?"
"I won't go anymore, it's boring."
"Then...I'm resigning!"
Tian Xiurong and others left.
Bai Xiaotian also left alone.
He was going to kill a few people, and then go to Daqi to help Youzhou divide the helm.
Those who want to be killed are a few salt officials who know about selling private salt, such as the salt lead Zhang Jiayi!
As for going to Daqi to help Youzhou Branch, it's not that he knew that Tian Xiurong was mobilizing government troops to harm Youzhou Branch.
But he wants to kill the regent Li Chenan!
Although he didn't have any dealings with the captain of the Youzhou Branch, he was the elder of the Daqi Gang after all.
In order to be sure, he must let the brothers from Youzhou Branch help him!
The sun is very strong.
Bai Xiaotian walked under the shade of the trees and headed towards Dishui Bridge.
…
…
At the west end of Dishui Bridge is a street called Shunhe.
Shunhe Street is very famous in Youzhou City, not because this street is built along the river, but because this street has the most and most concentrated brothels in Youzhou City!
Yupinglou, the largest brothel in Youzhou City, is at the end of this street.
Yuping Tower is backed by Shunhe River, and the tall archway stands next to Shunhe Street.
Opposite the archway is Zhangjiayi's small courtyard.
It is said to be a small courtyard, but this small courtyard is much larger than the small courtyard filled with flowers in Kyoto.
There are not only front and back gardens in the yard, but also rockeries, lotus ponds, pavilions and pavilions.
It's just that all of this is surrounded by a high wall, and you can't see it when walking on the streets.
At this moment, I am by the lotus pond in this small courtyard, in the pavilion beside the lotus pond.
Li Chenan was looking at Zhang Jiayi opposite, who had his head lowered and his face was pale and dripping with cold sweat.
"I didn't plan to come originally, but after thinking about it I decided to come. The main reason is that I don't have much time to stay here and wait for the result."
"Tell me, apart from the people in Youzhou's officialdom, what other private forces are involved in the sale of illegal salt?"
Zhangjiayi's two groups are fighting.
He knew that the regent had come to Youzhou.
I also received an order from above, saying that while the regent was in Youzhou, all official transfers to private positions should be stopped.
So he stayed at home honestly, waiting for the regent to leave, waiting for news that the rumor had passed.
He is just an insignificant official.
It's just that I made some money following Master Yanzheng Zhu of Youzhou over the years.
He was satisfied with this.
For any transaction, he only earns a small share that belongs to him, and the rest... belongs to whoever belongs to him.
This is the rule!
He abides by the rules and works cautiously. Every account passed by him is done clearly, and there is absolutely no hiding place.
Therefore, he became Master Zhu's confidant.
In the hearts of the salt merchants in Youzhou, he also had a reputation of justice.
Even the Tao family, the largest salt merchant in Youzhou, and its head, Mr. Tao Conglin, treated him as a distinguished guest.
He originally thought he would just do this for another year or two.
After a year or two, I have to resign from this position.
You have to take the money you have saved over the years and leave this place of right and wrong!
Because the regent is about to return to Kyoto and ascend the throne as emperor!
He became emperor, but the treasury didn't have much money, and the salt tax was the most important part of the country's revenue!
If he wants to investigate the national salt tax, none of the officials in Youzhou City can escape!
It is a huge crime for the government and businessmen to collude to control official salt and sell private salt!
He knows very well that once this matter is exposed, the lives of the whole family... may be involved!
You have a life to make money but not a life to spend. This is the biggest tragedy.
Therefore, he was already prepared to stop as soon as possible.
He even prepared an escape route and asked his wife to take their son to Yue Kingdom!
His wife wrote a letter saying that she had bought a large courtyard in Sifeng City, the capital of Yue State, and was waiting for her to go there.
I thought I could safely get some money in the next two years, but unexpectedly, the regent showed up at my home!
How careless!
Zhang Jiayi felt aggrieved.
I'm just a big, low-class Yan Yinguan with half a sesame seed. You are a huge regent. Why did you come to my small place?
