Ruan Qia was escorted by the white tiger, and Wang Xiao and his party came down from the second floor of the teahouse.

There are corpses scattered on Wenxian Street, and Zhang Yongnian is directing people to treat the wounded.

At the end of the long street, rows of torches glowed in the distance.

Someone's coming?

Wang Xiao stopped, stood in the night wind, and looked over there.

The people who came closer and closer, but they saw that it was a team of armored guards, and they were also people from Prince Gong's Mansion when they looked at their clothes, and they were all very strong.

Qin Xuance reminded in a low voice beside Wang Xiao: "The dead soldier of Prince Gong's Mansion just now is very capable of fighting, if there are a few more like that, it will be very troublesome." ”

"If you can't beat it, you can say that you can't beat it, but you have to say that the other party is very capable of fighting." Wang smiled.

After a while, the team of guards ran close and stopped in front of Wang Xiao and his party, looking a little vigilant.

"They're not here to fight." Qin Xuance said in a low voice.

Then, a young man was seen in the middle of the guards.

This young man was about eighteen years old, white and clean, wearing a coarse cloth robe, but he looked very noble.

"Are you Wang Xiao?"

After asking, he saw that Wang Xiao did not answer, so he said again: "I am the twenty-seventh son of King Gong, Zhou Zhunchi, the general of Zhenguo." By the way, Mr. Ruan is my Xixi teacher. ”

"The twenty-seventh son?" The expression on Wang Xiao's face didn't know whether he was surprised or speechless, and he muttered to himself: "One prince gives birth to so many, so how many clans does this Chu Dynasty have to raise?" ”

Many of the guards on the other side glanced at Wang Xiao, not understanding what he meant by his inexplicable words.

- How many are there for my lord, it's your business.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Zhunchi actually replied: "According to the records of the "Regulations of the Sect and Domain" compiled seven years ago, there are more than 280,000 people in the royal family. ”

Wang Xiao said thoughtfully: "Nearly 300,000 people are not producing, but they are clothed and fed. Do you know that you are supported by poor and sick people who farm in the fields with a hoe and a hoe......

As he spoke, he looked at Qin Xuance and asked with his eyes: How is it? Can you get by?

Qin Xuance glanced at the elite guards beside Zhou Zhunchi, nodded but shook his head.

Wang Xiao didn't know what Qin Xuance meant, so he threw a look at Zhang Yongnian again, and then returned his gaze to Zhou Zhunchi, and sighed: "The people work hard but can't eat. In your days of leisure and wealth, you have eaten their blood and sweat...... Your dad should have fewer children. ”

"I'm not a bad guy for the common people." Zhou Zhun Chi said, "In addition, you shouldn't say 'you', since you have received the title of Captain of this Horse, you are also a member of us." ”

As he spoke, he stared at Wang Xiao, and said very frankly: "By the way, I am a generation older than Chunning, and in terms of seniority, you should call me 'uncle'." ”

Wang smiled and glanced at him.

"You and I are both relatives, if there is any conflict, you can sit down and talk." Zhou Zhunchi said: "Why don't you return Ruan Sheng to me first, let's make friends?" ”

Wang Xiao didn't know if he wanted to be an uncle or make friends, so he said lightly: "The person was taken by Jinyiwei, and it's useless for you to ask me." ”

"Wise people don't speak secret words." Zhou Zhun said with a smile: "Who doesn't know that Jinyi Wei is secretly controlled by you?" ”

The king smiled: "Then you're not afraid that I will kill you together?" ”

"Even if it's a brocade guard, he should have a name for his actions." Zhou Zhunchi said: "But I don't know why you arrested Mr. Ruan?" ”

"He is involved in the prince's case, so take him." Wang Xiao sneered: "Why, do you have to report to you for such a big case as the Jinyi Health Office?" ”

"You don't have to be so arrogant." Zhou Zhun Chi said.

He is worthy of being taught by Ruan Qia, and he speaks in a tone. Then, he shook his head and said: "The prince of our clan is different from a businessman like the Wen family, and he is not a factory guard yamen who can easily move. Give people back to me, how about laughing at the previous things? It's not good to fight and kill. ”

"Wise people don't speak secret words." Wang smiled: "Wangjia Village was slaughtered by Prince Gong's Mansion?" ”

Zhou Zhunchi was silent for a while, and said: "We can make up for you in this matter, and we don't know each other." In this way, all the princes and princes in the capital have pooled some money and made some profits and losses together, and you will also mix a share in the future, how about it? ”

Wang Xiao chuckled.

Zhou Zhunchi said again: "You probably don't understand the depth of the water. You are very lucky tonight, but you can't guarantee that you will be so lucky every night, the days to come will be very long, as long as there is a negligence in one night, your family's life will be put into it. There are some things that you take for granted, Your Majesty's establishment of the Jinyi Guard is actually a temptation, to scare everyone and force everyone to take out the silver, you don't really think that the Sacred Heart wants to make a big move, right? This situation cannot withstand turbulence. ”

"If you offend the powerful on a whim for the sake of Your Majesty, you will only become a victim of this conspiracy in the end." Zhou Zhunchi said: "Now there is an abyss behind you, but there can be a rich and smooth road ahead." I'm not here today, not just for Mr. Ruan, but to give you a hand. Isn't it beautiful to return the peace of the capital, everyone is safe and peaceful, and make money peacefully? ”

Wang smiled: "Don't you apologize? ”

Zhou Zhun was stunned.

"Two hundred and sixty-seven people died in Wangjia Village that night." Wang smiled: "If you want to win me over, don't you apologize first?" ”

Zhou Zhunchi sighed lightly: "If you want to apologize, I can apologize to you on behalf of my father." ”

"To me?" Wang Xiao shook his head, and sneered, "You both plotted to kill everyone related to me. Now you think I'll be able to let you go by apologizing? ”

Zhou Zhunchi was quite speechless - is this kid playing me?

"If this Chu Dynasty is a peaceful and prosperous era, you may still have two points of truth." Wang Xiao said softly, and he didn't know if he was saying it to Zhou Zhunchi or to himself, "It is indeed dangerous to offend the princes and magnates, and it is not bad for you to say that the abyss is not bad." But now, your so-called 'smooth path to wealth' is leading to the real catastrophe......"

"That's the way the world goes." Zhou Zhunchi said: "People in the world are rich and poor, and this is their own life. I come from a noble family, and it is my 'duty' to eat fine clothes and food, and you can't say that I am doomed because I refuse to take a hoe to farm. ”

Wang Xiao didn't answer him again, and his eyes fell behind him.

Zhou Zhunchi turned his head and glanced at it, and said with some surprise: "You are bolder than I imagined." How? Even I dare to catch it? ”

As he spoke, the Jinyi guards had surrounded this group of palace guards.

As soon as the two of them were talking, Zhang Yongnian was organizing the queue, and as soon as he was ready, he surrounded him with a knife without saying a word. He didn't forget to shout the usual excuse first: "Jin Yiwei suspects that you have something to do with the assassination of the prince, so come with us." ”

Zhou Zhunchi smiled faintly and said, "Wang Xiao, you are delaying time by talking to me to straighten out the manpower, so do you know that I am not delaying time?" ”

Wang smiled: "What, can you still transfer a large army to fight with Jinyiwei?" ”

"You don't need an army." Zhou Zhunchi said: "There is one person, it is enough." ”

While speaking, a fast horse galloped over, galloped to the knight in front of him, turned over and dismounted, and said to Wang Xiao: "The prince is coming, let the little one come first and tell the horse, don't hurt the young son of King Gong." ”

Then, he took a step forward, lowered his voice and said, "This is also what Your Majesty meant......
