Chapter 317: The Dog Jumps Over the Wall
Zhou Zheng walked over, bent down and looked at Zhang Chengzhi who was kneeling on the ground, his hair covering his whole face, and said with a smile: "Master Zhang, don't you see this official first?" ”
Zhang Chengzhi trembled, his eyes flashed rapidly, and his head was sweating under layers.
He knew what would happen if he fell into the hands of Zhou Zheng, and he knew even more that this would be a catastrophe for the Zhang family!
He raised his head sharply and said urgently: "Thank you, Lord for saving your life!" The villain was also captured by this group of mountain bandits and blackmailed his father, Lord Xie, Lord Xie......"
Zhou Zheng was stunned, this Zhang Dagongzi reacted so quickly.
Cao Bianjiao, Shangguan watched coldly, watching his performance.
Zhou Zheng straightened up, with an unconcealed smile on his face, and said to himself: "Colluding with bandits and killing court officials, if you have human evidence, it shouldn't be difficult to have physical evidence...... With such evidence, this official, as an envoy, can completely cut first and then play......"
Zhang Chengzhi's face changed sharply, he gritted his teeth, and said ruthlessly: "I did all this thing, it has nothing to do with my father, you have to wronged my father!" Let me tell you, my father is not no one in the court, and if you want to frame him, you are dreaming! ”
Zhou Zheng shook his head and said, "Even if there is no evidence, this official, as an envoy, killed your father for no reason, do you think the court believes me or a dead man?" Young people, don't say childish things...... Everyone, pack up, let's go back to the city, and we'll meet that Master Zhang for a while!"
"The last general commands!" Cao Bianjiao said in a deep voice.
Zhang Chengzhi struggled desperately, but was suppressed by the soldiers, and said with a hideous anger on his face: "Zhou Zheng, if you dare to touch my father's hair, I won't let you go!" ”
Zhou Zheng turned a deaf ear, looked at Shangguan Qing, and said, "Let your people, take these bandits, and transport all the things in the cottage back to the mansion." ”
Shangguan Qing snorted and began to organize people to clean up the property of these bandits.
Zhou Zheng originally planned to exterminate the three largest in order to establish his authority, but with this Zhang Dagongzi, everything will be different.
Shangguan Qing was cleaning up, Zhou Zheng pulled Cao Bianjiao over, and said in a low voice: "There are more than 100 soldiers in Yongping Mansion, but I believe that they will not follow Zhang Yonglian to rebel, you immediately bring someone to surround Zhang Mansion for me now, one can't be leaked, especially Zhang Yonglian, the soldiers are very fast!" ”
Cao Bianjiao immediately responded and said, "The last general will take the order." ”
Cao Bianjiao immediately took more than 100 people and rushed back to Yongping Mansion.
At this time, the news that Xiaohulu Mountain had been breached had been seen by the people sent by Zhang Yonglian, and they were running back to report the news in a panic.
When Mo Lingui heard the news, his expression changed greatly, and he said, "Are you serious, more than 200 officers and soldiers, see the truth?" ”
The man gasped violently and said: "Official, I see it really, it is indeed an officer and soldier, a body of armor, it is definitely not an ordinary soldier, and the eldest young master is still in the mountains......"
Mo Lingui's eyes widened when he heard this, he limped, and ran towards Zhang's mansion at an extremely fast speed.
Zhang Yonglian had already written the third 'mourning report' to the imperial court, and the fourth 'letter of condolence' to Zhou Qingli, looking at the square font, the sadness and grief between the lines, and smiled with a very satisfied expression.
At this time, Mo Lingui limped in and said urgently: "My lord, you expected it right, he came with the official army that week, more than 200 people, he has already broken through Xiaohulu Mountain and captured Liu Erhu......"
Zhang Yonglian's expression changed suddenly, and he shouted: "What about Zhi'er? ”
Zhang Yonglian knows very well that a Liu Erhu is useless, and a bandit can't cure his crimes, but his eldest son Zhang Chengzhi is different.
Mo Lingui was extremely anxious and frightened, and said, "The eldest prince may also fall into the hands of Zhou Zheng." ”
Zhang Yonglian sat on the chair, his face was suddenly extremely pale, and his eyes were full of fear.
What he has done over the years, there is nothing that his eldest son doesn't know, if Zhang Chengzhi falls into the hands of Zhou Zheng, he can't argue, Zhou Zheng, as an envoy, can easily take him.
Mo Lingui also knew that the matter was serious, looked at Zhang Yonglian's expression, gritted his teeth and said: "My lord, now we are cornered, we can only take risks!" ”
Zhang Yonglian was already frightened by fear, his face was panicked, and he said in a daze: "Fight? How do you fight? ”
Mo Lingui stepped forward and said in a low voice: "My lord, the bandits of Yongping Mansion all listen to us, as long as they are powerful, they will help us!" ”
Zhang Yonglian woke up violently and said, "You mean, let them intercept Zhou Zheng halfway?" ”
Mo Lingui looked ruthless and said: "My lord, we have no way out, Zhou Zheng is not dead, we are the ones who die!" ”
Zhang Yonglian's expression changed, and his brows tightened.
If it is an assassination or other means, it is okay to kill Zhou Zheng silently, but if it is openly intercepted and killed, it is a crime of raiding the family and exterminating the clan!
Besides, Zhou Zheng has more than 200 people in his hands, what are those bandits doing? Even if they do, what if it doesn't work?
Zhang Yonglian was flustered at the moment and couldn't make up his mind.
Mo Lingui looked at him, knowing that he was hesitating, and said eagerly again: "My lord, if Zhou Zheng returns to the city, the first person to deal with will be my lord!" If you don't do it, you won't die, but if you don't do it, you will definitely die! ”
Zhang Yonglian gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! If you go in person, you must kill Zhou Zheng! ”
Zhang Yonglian knew that the situation was critical now, so he couldn't hesitate more. If the bandits killed Zhou Zheng, even if the court was shocked and someone was sent to investigate, he would have a way to deal with it, even if he was questioned, it would not be a raid on the family and extermination!
"Yes!" Mo Lingui limped away quickly when he heard this, and now the time was pressing, and he couldn't avoid delaying. If they waited for Zhou Zheng to pack up the little gourd mountain and return to the city, they would have no chance.
Fortunately, it will take at least one or two hours for Zhou Zheng to clean up the little gourd mountain, and they still have time!
Zhang Yonglian looked at Mo Lingui's back, his expression was still pale, and his face was full of fear, this was a big danger, no matter whether he won or lost, he couldn't stay in Yongping Mansion anymore.
'It must be a ......,' Zhang Yonglian said to himself in trepidation.
By this time, he had no way out, and there was no other way!
Just when Zhang Yonglian was looking forward to it, suddenly a family member came to report in a panic, saying: "Master, it's not good, there are officers and soldiers entering the city and coming straight to us......
Zhang Yonglian suddenly thought of something, stood up and shouted: "Quick! Command the gates of the city to stop them, and they will not be allowed to enter the city. ”
The family said in a panic: "Master, it's too late, there is a patrol according to the order of the adult, the city gate can't be stopped, so it's coming......"
Zhang Yonglian's heart fell into the ice cave, and he hurriedly stood up and said, "Go!" Come on! ”
Zhang Yonglian's legs didn't hurt anymore, and when he rushed out of the room, he saw many family members cleaning up their things back and forth, and couldn't help but shout angrily, "Don't want anything, go quickly!" ”
As he spoke, he ran quickly outside, and a bunch of wives and concubines rushed out behind him, crying: "Master, what happened......
Where did Zhang Yonglian take care of so much, and ran out of the house quickly.
Not long after he left, Cao Bianjiao arrived, jumped off his horse, and shouted: "Surround Zhang's Mansion for me, no one is allowed to let go, find out Zhang Yonglian!" ”
The soldiers behind him rushed in like wolves, and it didn't take long to learn that Zhang Yonglian had run away.
"Immediately block the four gates, find out for me, and you must catch Zhang Yonglian!" Cao Bianjiao drank heavily and sent someone to arrest him.
