Not long after, Zhang Mingwei was sitting in the outer lobby. He was sitting in the middle, with Zhu Ayao accompanying him to one side. In front of them were Zhou Yuji and his wife.
The candles nearby were brightly lit, and the three assassins were tied up and kneeling in front of them. The leader raised his head and said sincerely to Zhang Mingwei: "Supreme Mother, we are really not assassins!"
Zhang Mingwei had seen the title "Supreme Mother" in later generations, whether it was in movies, TV shows or in the books of some big boss. When he suddenly heard it, he frowned slightly and immediately shouted in a cold voice: "Are you an assassin?" , it’s not you who has the final say! Everything must be told truthfully.”
Before the assassin was escorted just now, Zhou Yuji had already informed him in advance. Judging from the movement of them sneaking into the house, they must be assassins. However, according to what Zhou Liu and the two female archers said, if this man was really an assassin, he would have been able to escape if he saw something bad and had good skills.
In addition, these three assassins were all the same. They showed no sign of resistance after being discovered. From this point of view, it is indeed different from ordinary assassins.
When the man heard what Zhang Mingwei said, he quickly replied: "The villain's name is Zhou Wenzhen, and he is the leader of Luo Zujiao in the capital. These two are the villain's subordinates. They are both agile and good players in the world..."
Zhang Mingwei had never heard of this sect. However, if he had Baidu to look it up, he would have discovered that Luo Zujiao was actually the originator of the famous Qinggang in later generations, and slowly evolved into the Qinggang.
Perhaps because he was afraid that Zhang Mingwei would be impatient, Zhou Wenzhen introduced it very quickly: "Just this afternoon, someone found a common man and offered five thousand taels of silver to demand your head. Although the villain usually fights in the world, Kill, but when I heard him say he wanted to kill the adults, I was very surprised. In order to stabilize him and fear that he would find someone else to kill the adults again, the villain pretended to agree..."
Zhang Mingwei felt a little unhappy after hearing this. Why was he only worth five thousand taels? Isn't this too little?
Thinking of this, he interrupted Zhou Wenzhen and asked coldly: "You must be the killer, and you are still moral? We have no relationship, and you are afraid that he will find someone else to kill me? Do you understand this? Why do people not believe it?”
When Zhou Wenzhen heard this, he quickly explained: "You don't know something. We believe in the Supreme Mother and she says that the guilty will eventually be punished."
At this point, he paused, feeling that if he continued speaking like this, Zhang Mingwei might be impatient, so he quickly continued: "It's hard to say whether others are guilty or not, but for someone as clear as the sky and a Bodhisattva-like figure like your Excellency, that is definitely the case. Good people. If we kill even good people like you, the Supreme Mother will definitely punish you!"
When everyone else heard what he said, they all turned to look at Zhang Mingwei. In their eyes, they all showed approval. Obviously, what Zhang Mingwei did today, or should I say yesterday, impressed them.
"..." Zhang Mingwei couldn't help but feel a little speechless when he heard this. Is this the cause and effect of good deeds?
Zhou Wenzhen continued to talk there: "Therefore, I pretended to take this job. When I came to your house, I actually wanted to tell you the inside story. I also ask you to be vigilant and take care of the people of the world!"
When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he was noncommittal and turned to look at Zhou Yuji. Although he is a general who leads troops to fight, he is still a person of this era. I wonder what he thinks of what this man said?
Zhou Yuji understood the way Zhang Mingwei looked at him, and immediately looked at Zhou Wenzhen with a cold face and shouted coldly: "Your two men are trying to set a fire in the front yard. How to explain this? Judging from your method, you want to set a fire in the front yard." Creating chaos gives you an opportunity to take advantage of it. If you really came to report to the Lord, why did you do this?"
After hearing this, Zhou Wenzhen looked obviously a little embarrassed. When he saw something wrong with Zhang Mingwei's face, he quickly confessed: "The adults don't remember the villain's faults. The villain really has a hidden agenda, just to let the adults know the villain's methods. Then he will report the villain, In exchange for your Majesty reporting to the imperial court to rectify the name of this sect!"
During the Chongzhen period, the Luozu religion fought fiercely with Buddhism. Although it was coming fiercely, it had great momentum to replace it. However, Buddhism has been passed down for thousands of years and has become deeply rooted. It is not so easy to be replaced. On the contrary, due to the strong lobbying of Buddhism, the court has a tendency to suppress Luo Zu religion.
"Then what if I don't agree?" Zhang Mingwei heard this and sneered, "Will I take action?"
"Yes, your Excellency is right!" At this moment, Wang Erbiao agreed, "Maybe what he said before about someone paying for the murder was all made up by him."
"No, no, no!" When Zhou Wenzhen heard this, he quickly denied it, looked at Zhang Mingwei and said, "Everything the villain said is true, and I would never dare to deceive the adults! Even if the adults don't agree, the villain will never dare to do anything to the adults. Yes, because everyone in the capital knows that your Excellency is a good official!"
Having said this, he immediately said: "There is a thousand taels of silver note hidden in the villain's sleeve, which is the deposit given by that person today."
After Zhou Yuji heard this, he strode forward and checked carefully. Sure enough, he found a thousand taels of silver notes and presented them to Zhang Mingwei.
Zhang Mingwei looked at the bank note, frowned and asked, "Then do you know who this person is?"
He himself was a little curious. It had only been a day since his debut, and someone actually wanted to kill him. This kind of killing of officials is a serious crime in any dynasty. Who could this person be?
To be honest, I did offend a lot of people yesterday. But I wonder which boss is willing to spend five thousand taels of silver to kill himself to vent his anger?
With this in mind, he just asked casually.
In fact, Zhang Mingwei didn't have any hope in his heart. Because generally speaking, people who pay to kill people will hide their identities.
Unexpectedly, after Zhou Wenzhen heard this, he nodded and said, "Although the man concealed his identity, I paid attention. The man pretended to be from Duke Cheng's residence, but accidentally let it slip that he should be Jiading Bo." From the house."
Hearing this, Zhu Yuluo's face suddenly became a little ugly. Unexpectedly, Zhou Bian didn't repent at all, and even thought about paying for murder to take revenge on Mr. Zhou. This was really asking for death!
Wang Erbiao heard this and immediately shouted: "Okay, this Jiading uncle's house is really lawless. The crime is in the hands of the master, but he still wants to take revenge! Long live the Lord will be furious if he finds out!"
Basically everyone in the capital has heard about what Bi An did in the capital this week. Upon hearing this, the parties involved felt that Bian might actually be able to do such a thing this week.
While they were thinking this, they heard Zhou Wenzhen say again: "There is a painting hidden in the mouth of my other sleeve. The villain happens to be good at painting, so he painted the masked face of the man. There is also a painting He also gave me the map of your house. He also said that tonight is the best opportunity to take action. Although there may be more protection in the front yard, there will definitely not be many guards in the back yard."
When he said this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. If there are not many guards, does it mean that women are not regarded as human beings? If the arrow is shot, it will be fatal!
Hearing Zhou Wenzhen speak, Zhang Mingwei could tell that he came to Zhang Mansion after being fully prepared. So, he nodded to Zhou Yuji again.
Sure enough, Zhou Yuji found another portrait and a map of Zhang's mansion, and presented them to Zhang Mingwei.
Zhang Mingwei took a quick look and found that it was indeed the map of his house. At least he knew that the drawings on the map were not bad. And this masked man...
"Come and see!" Zhang Mingwei said to the people around him after taking a look at it.
Zhu Ainao on the side saw it, so she went over to take a look. I saw that there was indeed a masked man on the portrait. Judging from her own attainments in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, her painting skills are indeed pretty good.
Suddenly, Zhu Ainao frowned, looking left and right, and suddenly said: "Sir, this person looks familiar!"
When she said this, Zhang Mingwei suddenly felt that this person seemed familiar. Wang Erbiao went over to take a look and felt the same way.
Masking is actually of no use to acquaintances.
Looking into this man's eyes, Zhang Mingwei couldn't help but frowned. Who is this man?
Suddenly, Zhu Yulao said to Zhang Mingwei: "Sir, wait a moment, I'll be back soon."
After finishing speaking, she immediately ordered Fei Zhen'e: "Prepare paper and pen, and help me sharpen the ink!"
Zhang Mingwei was a little confused about what he meant, but after a while, he saw Zhu Yuyao coming over with a painting and said to Zhang Mingwei: "Sir, please take a look, does it look similar?"
