Before Meng Hezhou left, someone came to the door.

This is a man in his thirties, wearing a cotton coat that is not thick, his hair is a little messy, and his breath is still a little panting, obviously rushed over.

He's alone.

Meng Hezhou and the others were very vigilant, and the short crossbow in their hands had already been taken out.

"I'm He Qihui." The man stood not far away, standing in the dark, not yet fully seeing his face.

Zhou Zheng immediately thought of who this person was, the big brother who had been shouted in his mouth, He Qihui in the Criminal Department!

It's coming so fast!

The actions of Zhou Zheng and his party can't hide from those who have a heart, obviously He Qi will be one!

Zhou Zheng's eyes flashed slightly, he reached out and pressed down the short crossbow in Meng Hezhou's hand, looked at He Qihui and said, "He Langzhong will come forward and speak." ”

The man in the darkness stepped forward, his steps a little hasty, and his face was full of twisted anger.

"Zhou Yushi, you are too much!" He Qi said in a deep voice.

This is a man who is less than forty years old, a very ordinary kind, but at this time, he has a special momentum, as if he is looking down on Zhou Zheng from above, like a senior official scolding his subordinates.

Zhou Zheng's expression was faint, and he said, "Xiaguan doesn't understand what He Langzhong means. I met a few outlaws on the road just now, and now I have them arrested and interrogated, why is it too much? ”

He Qihui had an angry face, his eyes were gloomy, he stared at Zhou Zheng, and sneered: "Zhou Yushi, the Ming people don't say dark words, you let these people go now, and also, Yang Qishao's side, you are not allowed to move, let them leave Beijing, this matter, we all treat it as if it has not happened!" ”

How could Zhou Zheng eat this, and replied without hesitation: "What if I don't agree?" ”

He Qihui snorted coldly and said, "Zhou Yushi, don't overestimate yourself, don't say it's you, even Wei Xizhuang has to come back from Huai'an Mansion obediently, do you think you can do whatever you want in the capital?" I'm here now to give you a chance, and when the news spreads tomorrow, someone will clean you up! ”

Zhou Zheng's face did not move, and said, "I am afraid that He Langzhong has some misunderstanding?" We just met a few little thieves on the road, and we are still interrogating them, and they will be handed over to Shuntianfu early tomorrow morning, how can anyone clean me up? ”

He Qihui put his hands behind his back, looked at Zhou Zheng condescendingly, and said: "Zhou Yushi, why bother pretending to be garlic when things come to this point, you must know, I can give you a crime casually now, and be arrested and imprisoned in the Criminal Department, Wei Xizhuang is not here, I can't think of anyone else who can save you!" ”

Before Zhou Zheng could speak, Meng Hezhou held a short crossbow and said coldly: "You catch one and try it!" ”

He Qihui glanced at him and said, "I don't care who you are, even if Wei Xizhuang comes!" Release them now, or I'll arrest them!" ”

When his voice fell, dense footsteps suddenly sounded behind him, and the officials of the Criminal Department hurried over, quickly surrounded Zhou Zheng and the others, and even drew a knife.

There were more than 20 people, all with solemn faces and fierce eyes in their eyes, not ordinary officials.

Meng Hezhou's expression was slightly awe-inspiring, and he stepped back, staring at He Qihui with a very vigilant gaze.

Zhou looked as usual and said, "Is there any misunderstanding in He Langzhong?" I am the supervisor of the imperial history, and your criminal department has no right to arrest me. ”

He Qi would sneer and say disdainfully: "Who do you think I am?" You can scare me by using the name of 'Inspector of Imperial History'? I'm giving you one last chance now, release him immediately! ”

Zhou Zheng pinched the corner of his clothes, and his mind was flying.

The power of the salt class is really terrifying, he just caught some small minions, and Lang Zhong of the Criminal Department personally came forward, and even desperately, even he, the person who supervised the imperial history and the Jinyi Guard, dared to arrest him.

In this, how much profit is it that makes these people desperate?

Zhou Zheng looked at He Qihui, and suddenly said with a smile: "I have sat in the prison of the Imperial Prison and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and I have not been in the prison of the Criminal Department, so I am in trouble with He Langzhong." ”

The corners of He Qihui's eyes jumped, his face became more and more gloomy, and he said, "Zhou Zhengyun, do you really want to break the net?" ”

Zhou Zheng seems to be a small supervising imperial history, but no matter how he says it, he is also a person who has been to the court, if he is really arrested and put in the prison, not to mention how the officials on the side of the Metropolitan Procuratorate will rebound, some of the big people above may also intervene.

What's more, there is still Jinyi Wei here, no matter how inconspicuous Wei Xizhuang is, it is also Wei Zhongxian's nephew, and if he gets stiff, He Qi will be a little Langzhong who can't bear it at all!

Zhou Zheng smiled and said: "Since He Langzhong is here, he must have thought about this situation, I don't know what other means to come......"

Before Zhou Zheng's words fell, a sedan chair suddenly appeared in the field of vision quickly, and there was the unpleasant smell of rouge.

Needless to say, Zhou Zheng knows who is coming, the officialdom broker, thousands of people.

Zhou Zheng watched the sedan chair fall, and his eyes turned to He Qihui.

He Qihui's face was indifferent, his eyes were angry, as a Lang Zhong couldn't suppress the little superintendent of the imperial history, he was extremely angry at the moment.

Wan Qianchun touched the handkerchief and came out, looking at the smile in Zhou Zheng's eyes.

The unpleasant smell of rouge became stronger, and many people quietly retreated away from him.

Wan Qianchun put down the towel, his face was still drunk, took off the towel, looked at Zhou Zhengdao: "Zhou Yushi, let's meet again?" ”

Zhou Zheng's nose moved, endured the churning stomach, and said, "Shopkeeper Wan, your signboard is smashed, right?" ”

Wan Qianchu's face stiffened, and then he smiled, and said softly: "Zhou Yushi smiled and smiled, I didn't know that something was wrong, and I came halfway through the meal." ”

Zhou Zheng glanced at He Qihui and did not speak.

Wan Qianfu had a smile on his face, looking at the short crossbows of several people around Zhou Zheng, he could guess their identities in his heart, and then looked at He Qihui's big battle, and smiled and said to Zhou Zheng: "Zhou Yushi, everything is easy to discuss, don't hurt and be angry." ”

Zhou Zhengdao: "He Langzhong wants to arrest me and go to the prison of the Criminal Department, this is something to discuss?" Shopkeeper Wan, you have not kept our agreement. ”

Wan Qianlin's smile remained unchanged, and said: "Zhou Yushi, in this way, as long as you release people and let Yang Qishao leave Beijing safely, whatever compensation you want, everything is easy to discuss." ”

Zhou Zheng has already read the letter sent by Wei Xizhuang from Huai'an Mansion, judging from the letter, Wei Xizhuang really has the intention of killing, and he has obviously been humiliated like never before in Huai'an Mansion!

Wei Xizhuang took Zhou Zheng as a friend, and Zhou Zheng would not fail to see his grievances.

Looking at the soft-voiced style of a big man, Zhou Zheng's heart was full of disgust, and said: "Shopkeeper Wan, I can't be the master of this matter, even if your benevolent father is afraid that he can't, everything has to wait for Lao Wei to return to Beijing." ”

"No way!"

He Qi would flatly refuse. He obviously knew the inside story, if he waited for Wei Xizhuang to return to Beijing, vented his anger on Yang Qishao, and arrested him and put him in prison, they would have nothing to do with it!

The smile on Wan Qian's face decreased a little, glanced at He Qihui, and still said to Zhou Zheng in a soft voice: "Zhou Yushi, it's not good for anyone to make a big deal about this matter, even if you don't want a future, Ling Zun, Brother Ling still wants it, you don't want them to be involved, right?" ”

Zhou Zheng's eyes flashed coldly, and he said, "Threaten me? ”

Wan Qianfu said with a smile: "I just hope that Zhou Yushi can weigh the pros and cons, and don't lose big because of small things." How big Yang Qishao's background is, even I can't figure it out, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at this now, it's easy to say what compensation you want, money, official position, women, as long as Zhou Yushi can say it, we can do it. ”

Zhou Zheng was really surprised that a small salt merchant could attract so many people.

Zhou Zheng had a plan in his heart, and said lightly: "Shopkeeper Wan thinks that what I am doing is for money, and for women in official positions?" ”

Wan Qianlin frowned, and then said with a smile: "Life in the world is nothing more than these things. Zhou Yushi, don't delay any longer, Yang Qishao already knows the news, if you don't release people here, I don't know what else he will do. ”

Listening to the constant threats of thousands of people, Zhou Zheng's face remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "Since there are so many pairs of eyes staring, I don't have to worry about it, this matter must wait until Wei Xizhuang comes back!" Also, Yang Qishao can't leave, if he dares to slip away, I will directly arrest him and put him in prison! ”

Zhou Zheng's tone was flat, but in this case, his attitude was quite tough.

He Qihui's face was gloomy, he naturally couldn't forcibly arrest Zhou Zheng into the prison, the consequences were too serious, he couldn't take risks, he could only look at Wan Qianzhen.

Wan Qianchun didn't expect Zhou Zheng, who was good to talk a few days ago, to become so difficult to speak now, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

Wan Qianchun is an officialdom broker, strictly speaking, he is a commoner or a businessman, and he has no power in himself, and now Zhou Zheng does not back down a bit, he can't come up with any other way except coercion and temptation.

He Qi saw Wan Qian's expression change, knowing that he was not paying attention, he snorted coldly and waved his hand.

The officials of the Criminal Department immediately divided into two groups, one group surrounded Zhou Zheng and others, and the other wave rushed into the house and directly robbed people.

Meng Hezhou's expression changed slightly, he clenched the short crossbow tightly, and looked at Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng didn't expect He Qi to be a scoundrel, and he was about to speak, when he suddenly turned his head to look to the left.

Suddenly there was a sound of dense footsteps, and there were a lot of people coming, very many people!

He Qi's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly raised his hand to ask his subordinates to stop, and looked at Wan Qianzhu.

Wan Qianzhu also had a shocked look on his face, looking at He Qihui's gaze, and shook his head slightly.

A group of people, all looking in the direction the sound came from.

Soon, there was a man who looked like a military general, with a dense beard on his chin, strode over, and said in a deep voice: "Dongcheng Soldiers and Horses, who is making trouble?" ”

The people of the East City Terracotta Division?

Everyone was shocked and looked at each other.

The Five Cities Terracotta Division is responsible for patrolling the capital, and compared to other capitals, the Terracotta Division is more like an army.

It's just that the Terracotta Division is rarely involved in 'civil' and 'criminal' cases, so how could they 'coincidentally' appear here?

Zhou Zheng was also shocked in his heart, this location is very remote, and ordinary people don't come here, unless someone pays attention.

Why did this Dongcheng Terracotta Division appear?

The people of the Dongcheng Terracotta Division quickly surrounded this small courtyard and watched everyone, there were more than fifty of them, fully armed!

The leader of the Dongcheng Terracotta Division looked around and said in a deep voice, "Who told me what happened?" ”

Wan Qianchun looked at this person, suddenly walked over, and said with a smile: "In Xia Qianlin, I have an old relationship with your deputy commander Li Shu, I don't know why this adult came?" ”

This person, who should be a servant, listened to the whispers of thousands of people, and then smelled the unpleasant smell of rouge on his body, and immediately vomited, and hurriedly waved his hand to stop him from approaching, and said: "You stay away from me, no matter who you are, come with me to the yamen!" ”

He Qihui came over at this time and said, "He Qihui is in the Langzhong of the Lower Punishment Department, he has been ordered to arrest the criminal, and he has to go back to restore his life, please make it convenient for this adult." ”

The officer glanced at him and said, "People from the Criminal Department? Okay, you guys go, go back and ask you adults to write a note to the Dongcheng Terracotta Division, and I'll make a good deal. ”

He Qihui's eyes flashed with joy and said, "Then can I take away the prisoners?" ”

The official's eyes widened, and he said, "I've already asked you to go back to the errand, don't you want me to make the errand?" Alright, come with me! ”
