Prologue Young Zhou Zheng Chapter 22 A Dangerous Gamble
After Xiao Er left, Zhou Zheng looked around to make sure that there was no one else, and then set off for the yamen.
The yamen of Yunzhou City is not far from the Zhou family, which is also a decision made by Zhou Hong in order to deal with the major affairs of Yunzhou City as soon as possible.
When Zhou Zheng came to the yamen, he found that the door was closed, but in the foehn that was opened, he clearly sensed that there were people in the room. However, at the same time, a strong sense of oppression made it impossible for Zhou Zheng to accurately perceive the information in the room.
"Zheng'er?" Zhou Hong suddenly appeared in the rear, startling Zhou Zheng.
"Daddy. ”
"Have you eaten dinner?" Zhou Hong looked at Zhou Zheng with concern.
"No, but I have something I want to ask my dad for. ”
"What?"
"Just now I asked Xiao Er to go to his father's room to steal the Huang family token, why didn't you come out to stop it?" Zhou Zheng asked solemnly.
Zhou Hong raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhou Zheng, and let out a long sigh. "Is it Foehn Death? It seems that Zheng'er has been able to freely control the nearby breath. ”
"If I'm not mistaken, the Chen family token on the Shadowless Killer is also the same counterfeit as the token on those soldiers. Zhou Zheng looked at the "Huang" family token in his hand and fell into deep thought.
"Why do you think that?"
"Fighting against the Shadowless Killer that day, I knew very well that the martial arts he used were definitely not owned by the Chen family, and with Chen Gongming's brain, he would never come up with such a strategy. ”
"So?" Zhou Hong looked at Zhou Zheng slightly thoughtfully.
So I secretly followed the carriage that escorted Chen Gongming. I found out that he wasn't going to the Imperial City. ”
Zhou Hong didn't say anything, just looked at Zhou Zheng quietly.
"Chen Gongming was released halfway, and the entire Chen family was on the scene. It is not so much to drive away Chen Gongming, but to drive out the Chen family. This whole incident was to expel the Chen family from Yunzhou City. Zhou Zheng took the token back into his pocket. "Moreover, the weapon used by the Shadowless Killer that day was a rope, and the scratches from the wounds on the eleven victims that appeared at that time did not match. It was only after I thought about it carefully that I found out about this problem. ”
Zhou Hong let out a long sigh and still didn't say anything.
"That's because there was an accident in the plan. A powerful voice suddenly came from the room. Zhou Zheng only felt very familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
"The analysis is good, but there is a problem with the plan. "Out of the yamen came a burly man with long slender white hair.
Pang Jing looked calmly at Zhou Zheng, who was standing aside, surprised. "Long time no see, Zheng'er. ”
"Patriarch, why?" Zhou Zheng hurriedly turned his head to look at Zhou Hong.
"Do you remember when the patriarch was a guest at our house more than half a year ago?"
Zhou Zheng nodded violently.
"At that time, the reason why the patriarch came to visit in person was to discuss the plan with my father. ”
"Plan?"
"The plan to revive the Zhou family. Pang Jing said calmly. "At that time, the premise of reviving the Zhou family was to first pull down the Chen family, which was the most powerful in Yunzhou City. Pang Jing pinned his hands behind his back, and the black robe perfectly showed off his strong figure.
Only then did Zhou Zheng remember in horror that at the auction at that time, Pang Jing was wearing the same robe.
"At that time, the patriarch's plan had been arranged, but then an accident occurred. Zhou Hong then added. "That's you. Your presence completely shattered our original plan, so I had to make a new plan with the patriarch again. ”
Zhou Zheng was still full of doubts, he didn't expect his father to have such a city side.
"There was a fugitive in the Imperial City not long ago, and I discussed with Uncle Zhou for a long time, and decided to let him be placed in Yunzhou City as the so-called 'Shadowless Killer' as a gift to you. Pang Jing walked forward and reached out and pressed Zhou Zheng's shoulder. "As a test of your strength, I'm glad you passed. ”
"Why does he know how to absorb soul power? Shouldn't this be a taboo?" Zhou Zheng asked a little angrily.
"The reason why he became a fugitive is precisely because he secretly learned the forbidden martial arts, which were left by the old clan. Pang Jing let go of her hand and continued to pin it to her back. "Placing the token is to let the children of the Zhou family and the Zhang family witness this scene. ”
"So I became the tool man in your plan?" Zhou Zheng only felt a wave of anger burning in his heart.
"It's all about reviving the Zhou family. Moreover, the eleven Yunzhou city citizens who were killed before did not have any accidents, and they were all transferred out of Yunzhou City by their fathers early. Zhou Hong explained. "The Chen family has now been expelled from Yunzhou City, and our next step is the Huang family. ”
"Why?" Zhou Zheng asked incomprehensibly. "Dad, why? Why can't we fight against the Chen family and the Huang family openly? Why?"
"Zheng'er, do you know what the Chen family and the Huang family have done behind their backs?" Zhou Hong sighed with a serious expression.
"Many years ago, they used the power of their family to monopolize the goods of the upper class of commerce in Yunzhou City, and secretly sold them to the black market to earn huge profits. The reason why the Chen family was able to far surpass us in terms of financial resources back then was precisely because of their cooperation with the black market and their ability to earn a lot of wealth from it. It is precisely because of this that the black market can monopolize seventy percent of the commercial activities in Yunzhou City. As the city lord of Yunzhou City, I should have done something a long time ago, but the Zhou family has not encountered a suitable node for many years until you appear. ”
Zhou Hong looked at Zhou Zheng with gratifying eyes. "As you grow, I find that our plans need to change because you're growing much faster than we thought we'd like. ”
"They should have been driven out of Yunzhou City, even if Uncle Zhou didn't act, I wouldn't be arrested. So you don't have to blame yourself too much. Pang Jing looked down at Zhou Zheng and carefully observed the latter's expression.
"The original plan for tonight was to make you a witness again, but I didn't expect you to find out. The Chen family had just been expelled from Yunzhou City, and Elder Huang must be anxious at the moment, for fear of being provoked. So now it is the Huang family who will move the knife and completely expel this from Yunzhou City. ”
"I don't quite agree with my father and the patriarch. Even though he knew the reason, Zhou Zheng still felt depressed. "I don't agree with that. ”
Zhou Honggang wanted to say something, but Pang Jing stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Maybe we can try to let Zheng'er handle it. Pang Jing watched the change in Zhou Zheng's eyes, from anger at the beginning to helplessness now. "Zheng'er doesn't like to deal with the Chen family's plan, or let's make a bet. If Zheng'er can deal with the Huang family within a month, then even if you win the bet, but if Zheng'er can't do it within a month, then I hope you can agree with Uncle Zhou's approach. ”
Zhou Zheng frowned, but an inexplicable desire to win suddenly ignited in his heart.
This was a challenge from the Great Yan Dynasty Patriarch, who had already won once before, but with the help of others. Now there is a great opportunity in front of him, and he can prove himself completely on his own.
After thinking carefully for a while, Zhou Zheng looked at Pang Jing with firm eyes.
"I accept the bet. ”
