Zhou Ji is in Nanju Xianfang, and Zhou's mansion is in the east of the city.

Zhou Zheng went out of Zhouji, crossed the bridge, and walked towards the east of the city.

There are many avenues on the road, but there are also a lot of alleys, Zhou Zheng is walking on the main road, although the sky is dark, but every household is lit up a lot, the road is endless, but there is no need to worry about someone committing murder.

The strong man and the others followed behind in twos and threes, and it would not look so dazzling.

The thin man followed behind the strong man and said in a low voice: "Brother Liu, this surnamed Zhou Ming knows that we are staring at him, and he dares to walk alone at night, doesn't he have an ambush?" ”

The strong man snorted faintly and said, "Don't worry, the seventh young man has arranged it, there are people watching from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, as long as there is any movement, I will know immediately." ”

The thin man was still really worried, and said, "He won't have anyone else, right?" ”

The strong man said: "Don't worry, the people of Shuntianfu are behind, if you fight, you can arrest it directly, and it is justifiable." ”

When the thin man heard this, he was relieved, and patted his ass and said: "No wonder the seven young men value Brother Liu, Brother Liu is doing things safely!" ”

The strong man didn't seem to hear it, his eyes were staring at Zhou Zheng's back, and he didn't dare to relax the slightest, for fear of losing it.

Zhou Zheng didn't seem to notice that someone was following him, his steps were calm, and he even bought a box of shortbread at a dim sum shop, ready to go back to make supper.

Zhou Zheng turned a big road and suddenly fell into darkness, and the light was only a little bit, and he couldn't even see the road clearly.

The strong man stared at Zhou Zheng's back, looked at this long black road, looked ruthless, and said, "This is it, knock him out, put him on a sack and take him away!" ”

When the thin man heard this, his face became even more ruthless, and he said, "Okay! ”

After speaking, four or five people walked forward quickly and chased after Zhou Zheng.

On the dark and silent road, the dense footsteps of these people are particularly obvious and alarming.

Zhou Zheng didn't look back and continued to walk forward.

The thin man sneered, already raised the wooden stick in his hand, and stared at the back of Zhou Zheng's neck.

This kind of weak scholar will definitely faint when he knocks a stick.

"Stop!"

Suddenly, four people rushed out of the darkness in front of Zhou Zheng, holding a short crossbow in their hands, and shouted loudly.

The leader was the young man with a flirtatious look, and at this moment he had no frivolous look, and his face was indifferent.

The thin man and the others were startled, looking at the young men, looking at the short crossbow in their hands, their faces changed slightly, but they did not retreat immediately.

Several people were on the defensive, confronting the young man.

The strong man behind him quickly followed, looked at the young man and the short crossbow in their hands, his face was solemn, and said, "Who are you?" ”

Short crossbows are something that ordinary people can't get, and they also flash black and gold in the dark, which is even more extraordinary!

The young man didn't speak, and turned his head to look at Zhou Zheng, who had already turned around and walked over.

Zhou Zheng looked at the middle-aged man and said, "Guess what, you should be able to guess." ”

The middle-aged man had a bad premonition in his heart when he saw this short crossbow, and his heart was flying, and suddenly his eyes widened, and he lost his voice: "Jinyiwei? ”

Zhou Zheng had a smile on his face and said, "Are you going to be captured, or will I show the power of this short crossbow first?" ”

The strong man quickly suppressed his panic, looked at the four short crossbows, and sneered: "You shoot down the four of us at most, what can you do with us?" ”

shout

As soon as he finished speaking, four short crossbows shot out, and before the screams could be heard, the four men were neat with their hands and feet, and a short arrow was set up again.

"Ah......h

As if they had set it up, the four people on both sides of the strong man let out a miserable scream, and then fell to the ground and screamed in pain. Some of them were shot in the chest, shoulder, and some in the legs.

When the strong man saw it, his expression was ugly, he looked at the remaining eight people, and then saw that there were five people opposite Zhou, his eyes flickered, and his heart was full of anger and hatred.

The people behind him didn't have any 'weapons', and looking at the screaming companions on the ground, they couldn't help but be a little frightened and wanted to retreat.

Zhou Zheng looked at the strong man, his expression was indifferent, and said: "Turn your back, hold your head in your hands, and squat, otherwise you will try another arrow!" ”

The strong man looked at the flickering arrows, and his heart went crazy with hatred.

He had never been in such a situation, so powerless. Don't say that you can't fight hard now, even if you recruit the backhand, the officials of Shuntianfu, those officials will not dare to offend Jinyiwei!

He hated himself too much, he was careless, Zhou Ji and those guys went in and out, it must be Zhou Zheng communicating with Jinyiwei, if he let people follow at that time, maybe he would be able to find out, not the current situation!

The thin man stood tremblingly beside the strong man, staring at the short crossbow cautiously, and then turned his head to look at the strong man, his face turned pale, and his lips squirmed and he did not dare to speak.

The strong man looked at Zhou Zheng, took a deep breath, and said with an ugly face: "Zhou Yushi, I admit to underestimating you, but we are not something you can afford to provoke, today's incident should not have happened, how about our well water not being the river water in the future?" ”

Zhou Zheng shouted: "Either surrender, or I'll shoot again, you choose!" ”

The young man beside Zhou Zheng sneered and said, "These people actually want to kill our adults in Huai'an Mansion, Zhou Yushi, I don't think you can keep it, give the corpse to their seven and nine less, I want to see what waves they can make in the capital!" ”

Jinyiwei is now famous all over the world, not to mention some senseless thugs, it is the six hall officials, and there are as many as twelve of them killed!

Jinyiwei's Tiqi arrested people in the Suzhou and Hangzhou areas last year, and countless people died, and the strong men didn't know it.

Listening to the words of Zhou Zheng and the young man, and then looking at the fear on the faces of the people around him, he knew that it was useless to continue talking, and it would only increase the casualties.

The strong man looked at Zhou Zheng, gritted his teeth and said, "Zhou Zhengyun, you will regret it!" ”

After speaking, he took the initiative to squat down, held his head in his hands, and turned around.

When the thin man saw it, he hurriedly put down the wooden stick and squatted down with his head in his hands.

The others were also afraid of Jinyiwei, and they squatted down with their heads on their backs to Zhou Zheng and others.

The young man looked at the man beside him, his eyes motioning for him to step forward.

The man put away his crossbow, took out his handcuffs, and stepped forward to cuff them one by one.

The young man stepped forward, pulled up the strong man, and said, "Go!" ”

The strong man turned his head as much as he could, looked at Zhou Zheng and said in a deep voice: "Zhou Yushi, you can't afford to mess with our seven young people, I hope you know the current affairs, otherwise you will regret it!" ”

Zhou Zheng looked at him and said lightly: "I'll go back to see him later, and see if he can make me regret it." ”

The strong man's face changed greatly, and he said urgently: "Zhou Zhengyun, you can't move Qishao!" Seven Shao is something you can't afford to provoke, if you move, you will definitely regret it! I promise you'll regret it! ”

Zhou Zheng just wanted to take advantage of this Qishao and try the depth of the muddy water in the salt class, and said with an impassive face: "You still want to think about it, will Wei Xizhuang let you go after he comes back." ”

The strong man wanted to say more, but the young man pushed and said, "Later, you will say, go!" ”

The strong man looked anxious and wanted to resist, but his hands were handcoled and could only be taken away by Zhou Zheng and his party.

The injured ones were directly skewered in handcuffs and dragged away.

The screams of these people have long attracted the attention of many people.

Not far away, there was a group of servants hiding in the dark, and the leader was the hob meat, seeing that Zhou Zheng and others had arrested more than ten strong men, they didn't move.

A servant beside him looked at him and said, "Head, don't we care?" ”

Hob Meat watched the backs of Zhou Zheng and the others disappear into the darkness, turned his head and slapped him, and said, "Immortals fight, mortals suffer, did you forget a few days ago?" ”

The official nodded again and again, not daring to speak, but he was aggrieved in his heart, when you received other people's money during the day, didn't you still say that you would do your best to protect them?

Zhou Zheng and the others came to a remote courtyard and detained the eleven people in separate rooms, while the other three were interrogating, and Zhou Zheng and the young man sat in front of the door and chatted in the dark sky.

The young man played with a dagger in his hand, and said lightly: "Actually, I was originally a person from Jinyiwei, hereditary, and then my father was implicated and raided the house, Lord Wei couldn't bear it, and quietly saved me and my sister, and then I changed my name and surname and followed Lord Wei." ”

Zhou Zheng already knew that this young man's name was Meng Hezhou, and his relationship with Wei Xizhuang was like a master and a servant, and he was like a friend.

Zhou Zheng looked at Meng Hezhou's side face that was far more mature than his peers under the moonlight, and said: "Old Wei seems to be heartless, but in fact, he is the most righteous and has no bad intentions, just a Wei character." ”

Meng Hezhou smiled and said, "I don't care who he is, he saved my sister's lives and my sister's lives, and I have already earned it with my one." ”

There were bursts of screams from the room behind them, and Zhou Zheng paused and said, "Don't worry, we don't do anything to kill heads." ”

Meng Hezhou put away the dagger, still looking at the dark door in front of him, and said, "It's not a big deal to kill the head." ”

Zhou Zheng's expression was slightly different, and he nodded secretly, the person Wei Xizhuang saved was very worthwhile.

The screams in the room soon ended, and a person came out and said, "Meng Tou, Zhou Yushi, I asked out." They are from the Yang family in Shanxi, but they are followed by the branch that moved to Yangzhou, the seven young ones, and they are one of the twelve righteous sons accepted by the head of the Yang family. The Yang family is a salt merchant, one of the largest salt merchants in Yangzhou, with a family fortune of more than one million, and there are many people in Yangzhou and even in the capital. ”

Meng Hezhou's face did not move, as if he had not heard.

Zhou Zheng raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect this Qishao to have such a background.

What is the most profitable thing to say in the Ming Dynasty, it is undoubtedly private salt, this kind of thing is a necessity of life, and it is mastered by a few people through various means, monopolizing the large market of tens of millions of people in the Ming Dynasty.

The person who came out saw that Zhou Zheng and Meng Hezhou didn't speak, and said: "Before, Lord Wei wanted to investigate the corruption of the salt class, which angered this Yang Qishao, and he moved around a lot of relationships to force Lord Wei to stop. The nine young men in Yangzhou forced Lord Wei to return to Beijing. ”

Zhou Zheng thought for a while and said, "Where is that Yang Qishao, did you ask?" ”

"I asked, in a green building." The man said.

Zhou Zheng looked at Meng Hezhou and said, "Arrest him back, secretly, and wait for you Lord Wei to come back and deal with it." ”

Needless to say, those who dare to bully Wei Xizhuang like this, Meng Hezhou will definitely not let it go!

Meng Hezhou nodded and said to him: "You stay and guard, and I will go and arrest that Yang Qishao." ”
