After Fu Tianpeng was rescued, Qingqing's master Shi Zhi detoxified him from the poison of the flame centipede.
And Zhao Xueqing also wrote to the Beggar Gang to eradicate Xiao Wuzi.
At this time, Shadow returned to Jinying and handed the porcelain piece to Jin Wushu.
Jin Wushu immediately called Li Wanruo to identify the authenticity.
After Li Wanruo inspected the porcelain piece, she told Jin Wushu that the porcelain piece was fake.
Upon hearing this, Jin Wushu became furious.
He immediately ordered the killer to hunt down Fu Tianpeng and the others.
However, Shadow told him that the most important thing now was to send the copper and iron as soon as possible to prepare for the future war.
Jin Wushu nodded, but he knew that Tongtie had been repeatedly destroyed by people in the world, and it was very difficult to deal with these people.
Shadow laughed and told Jin Wushu that it would be easy to solve the matter.
Jin Wushu was overjoyed when he heard this. He immediately asked Shadow, how should he proceed?
Shadow told Jin Wushu that as long as the Zhenyuan Escort Agency is responsible for this matter, the agency never asks about the objects of the escort.
Jin Wushu laughed loudly and immediately asked military advisor Hamichi to take charge of the matter.
A few days later, at the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau, a handsome young man dressed in Shu brocade walked in.
He went straight to the point and asked to see Mr. Zheng, the head escort.
Zheng Xingyuan saw that this man was dressed in the Southern Dynasty, with gentle manners and elegant conversation, and he suddenly felt some admiration in his heart.
He asked the young master where he wanted to send the escort.
The young master took out ten thousand taels of silver notes from his sleeve and handed it into Zheng Xingyuan's hand.
He told Zheng Xingyuan that this escort trip was no small matter and had to be carried out personally by Mr. Zheng, the escort chief. Moreover, it would have to travel all day and night without any delay.
Zheng Xingyuan told the young master that Zhenyuan Escort Agency was a century old and the most important thing was the word "faith". He told the young master to feel at ease.
The young master smiled slightly and told Zheng Xingyuan that when he arrived in Ancheng in five days, someone would be there to pick up the escort in the south of the city.
After saying that, the young master bowed and left.
Zheng Xingbing ordered the bodyguards to seal up the bodyguards and put them into gear.
The escort team set off in great force.
Wait until the fifth day, when it is almost dawn.
Zheng Xingyuan and his party have arrived in the dense forest thirty miles south of the city.
He asked the escort to rest for a while before heading on his way again.
Just when everyone was sitting on the ground to relieve their fatigue, suddenly dust started flying on the road in the distance.
Zheng Xingyuan knew that men and horses were coming, so he asked his bodyguards to be prepared.
Soon, a general wearing a swallowing cloud chain armor entered the forest with more than a hundred soldiers.
He held the document in his hand and said the order, and said to Zheng Xingyuan: "Are you Zheng Xingyuan, the head of the Zhenyuan Escort Agency?"
Zheng Xingyuan raised his fists towards the general and blurted out: "General, I'm Zheng Xingyuan."
The general rolled his fish eyes and hummed twice: "Since it is Zheng Xingyuan, there is no mistake. Come on, please bring down this group of lawless thieves."
When Zheng Xingyuan heard this, he immediately stepped forward to defend himself: "General, what crime have we committed? You want to lock us up."
The general snorted coldly: "Zheng Xingyuan, you really don't shed tears until you see the coffin. Let me ask you, what is in the box?"
Zheng Xingyuan told the general that the escort agency had regulations and only asked about the itinerary and not the items of the escort.
The general blew his nose, and then yelled at Zheng Xingyuan with saliva flying from his mouth: "Fart, people like you who are only greedy for money will inevitably commit crimes."
As soon as the general gave an order, several soldiers stepped forward and split a box open with their knives.
As soon as the box is opened, the copper and iron inside are immediately visible.
The general pointed to the box full of copper and iron and said to Zheng Xingyuan: "Zheng Xingyuan, do you know that smuggling copper and iron is a capital crime?"
Zheng Xingyuan told the general that he was just following the rules of the escort agency.
The general scolded: "Fart, can the rules of the escort agency be greater than the laws of the court? Even now, you still refuse to repent. Come on, arrest them."
When the bodyguards saw this, they all showed their weapons.
The general waved his riding whip and told Zheng Xingyuan in a domineering voice that if they dared to resist arrest, they would be guilty of rebellion.
Zheng Xingyuan knew that the crime of rebellion was not a trivial matter, as it would implicate the nine tribes.
After hearing this, Zheng Xingyuan told the escorts not to be impulsive.
Then he asked the general to take him away alone because the matter had nothing to do with the bodyguards.
Unexpectedly, the general told him that the law is ruthless and that any matter should be decided after the government office pronounces the verdict.
Zheng Xingyuan sighed, and just like that, he and the other bodyguards were captured by the general.
Not long after the general escorted Zheng Xingyuan, a group of masked men in black blocked their way.
The general drew his sword and cursed angrily: "Where did the villain dare to intercept the general of the imperial court? I think you are tired of living."
The leader in black sneered with his sword and said: "Death is imminent, and you still have such a loud tone."
The general was furious and ordered his soldiers to capture them.
The leader in black said: "You guys take action and rescue Mr. Zheng and the others."
Zheng Xingyuan said: "Which of you friends, I would like to thank Zheng for your generous help. But now you should leave quickly, we still have to explain to the government."
When the general saw that the men in black were about to rob the prisoners, he immediately ordered the soldiers to shoot arrows.
For a moment, arrows rained down, killing many of the men in black and the bodyguards.
Zheng Xingyuan was heartbroken when he saw his brother who died tragically. He told the man in black to leave quickly.
At this time, the leader in black came to the prison car. Without saying a word, he stabbed Zheng Xingyuan.
Zheng Xingyuan looked at the man in black with shocked eyes.
The leader in black sneered: "Zheng Xingyuan ignored the court's laws and smuggled copper and iron. He was caught by General Liu, and his accomplices wanted to kidnap prisoners in the dense forest. General Liu had no choice but to kill Zheng Xingyuan to enforce the law."
General Liu laughed and said, "Thank you very much."
Zheng Xingyuan pointed at General Liu and cursed: "Bitch thief, you will not die well."
General Liu also sneered: "Zheng Xingyuan, you talk too much nonsense, go to hell."
After saying that, he immediately ordered the soldiers and the men in black to kill all the bodyguards.
After taking care of Mr. Zheng's bodyguard, the men in black killed all the soldiers brought by General Liu.
Seeing the dead bodies on the ground, the leader in black smiled and said: "General Liu, you can go back. I will explain this matter to the prefect. You took away Zheng Xingyuan, who was smuggling copper and iron, and asked him to credit you with this contribution. head."
General Liu thanked him again and fled on horseback, pretending to be panicked.
The leader in black ordered the gangsters to inspect the scene. After confirming that no one was alive, he pushed the copper and iron cart and left.
Among the dead, a bodyguard covered in scars struggled to get up.
He walked up to Zheng Xingyuan and cried bitterly: "Chief escort, please wake up."
Zheng Xingyuan said with a trembling tone: "Go...go...find my...brother, let...him...Fu... ...sky."
Before he could finish his words, Zheng Xingyuan was already dead.
At night, in the back garden of the prefect Hou Rong, Hou Rong and Hamichi were drinking and enjoying singing and dancing.
Hamichi held a sandalwood box in his hand and said to Hou Rong: "Master Hou, small gifts are not respectful."
Hou Rong took it and took a look. Inside was a crystal clear jade bucket.
He stared at the big toad eyes and said with salivation: "Oh, Military Master Ha, the courtesy is too important, the courtesy is too important."
Hamichi laughed loudly and said: "No, a lot of people died this time, so it can be considered as compensation for Mr. Hou."
After Hou Rong accepted the gift with a smile, he told Hamichi to transport the things quickly.
Hamichi told Hou Rong that he had made arrangements and would not cause trouble to Mr. Hou.
They had a banquet here. The bodyguard Wang Ying applied gold wound medicine, bandaged the wound, and after resting for a night, he dressed up and left the city.
When he met Zheng Yuanzhi, he recounted the causes and consequences of the murder of Mr. Zheng.
Zheng Yuanzhi learned that his brother was killed by Lieutenant General Ancheng, and he wanted to take revenge.
Wang Ying persuaded Zheng Yuanzhi, saying that Mr. Zheng, the bodyguard, told him something before he died.
Zheng Yuanzhi stopped his sadness and asked Wang Ying, what did his brother say?
Wang Ying thought carefully and said, "Why are you looking for Fu Tian?"
Then he told Zheng Yuanzhi that the chief escort died before he could finish his words.
Zheng Yuanzhi knew his brother's good intentions, but he was brave enough but not resourceful enough. Taking revenge rashly would only lead to misfortune. In this way, the century-old reputation of Zhenyuan Escort Agency will be gone.
Zheng Yuanzhi burst into tears, wrote a letter, and sent it to Fu Tianpeng with a flying pigeon.
Fu Tianpeng, who had recovered, was full of energy and had endless strength.
He joked with Zhao Xueqing and Qingqing.
At this moment, the waiter knocked on the door and came in, handing him a letter.
After Fu Tianpeng opened the letter, he burst into tears immediately.
Zhao Xueqing and Qingqing asked him what happened?
He gave the letter to the two of them.
Zhao Xueqing was also filled with pain and regret.
Fu Tianpeng said: "Sister Qing, Qingqing. Mr. Zheng and I have a heart-to-heart relationship with Mr. Zheng. The death of Mr. Zheng is actually related to me. If he had not destroyed the gangsters' smuggling of copper and iron, he would not have suffered such revenge. So even if Brother Zheng doesn’t ask me, I will still investigate this matter without hesitation.”
Zhao Xueqing raised her pretty eyebrows and then said: "Brother Tianpeng, find out about this matter. It is not only to avenge Mr. Zheng's bodyguard, but also to eliminate harm to the country. These gangsters are making trouble and endangering the Song Dynasty again and again. We must not sit back and watch. ignore."
In this way, everyone went straight to Ancheng.
After the three stopped their horses and settled down, they chose a "home-like" restaurant for dinner.
The waiter came up and asked, what do they want to eat?
Fu Tianpeng was in a depressed mood and just asked the waiter to come up with the special side dishes.
Not long after the waiter arrived, he came over with wine and food.
At this time, Fu Tianpeng asked the waiter if he had heard about the robbery and murder of prisoners in the dense forest south of the city a few days ago.
As soon as he said this, the waiter's hands trembled, the wine tray fell to the ground, and the cups and bowls were immediately smashed.
He quickly leaned down, picked up the broken bowl, and said to Fu Tianpeng, "I'm sorry, sir, I'm rude."
The shopkeeper heard the sound and cursed at the waiter: "You are so panicked that you have lost your soul. Why don't you get out and give the guest a new one."
The waiter was so frightened that he ran away. The shopkeeper said with a smile on his face: "I'm sorry, Sir, he has never seen any battles. Don't be as knowledgeable as him."
After hearing this, Fu Tianpeng didn't say anything more. He waved his hand towards the shopkeeper.
The three of them finished their meal and left the restaurant.
Facing the bustling street, Fu Tianpeng said to the two of them: "Qingmei, Qingqing, what do you think we should do?"
Zhao Xueqing replied: "Brother Tianpeng, you asked the waiter at the restaurant just now. Judging from his nervous expression, someone must be secretly pressuring him to not tell the truth. And the shopkeeper has the same attitude. From this we can see Come on, the government office should come forward."
Fu Tianpeng and Qingqing nodded.
Fu Tianpeng then asked Zhao Xueqing if there was any good way.
Zhao Xueqing signaled them to split up and wait for someone to come.
