In the evening, Zhou Zheng came out of the palace, and not long after he went out, he was blocked in an alley.

It is only a few dozen steps away from the Forbidden City, and it is a branch road of Chang'an Avenue.

Zhou Zheng never expected that he would be blocked in such a place in broad daylight!

Cui Chengli stood opposite Zhou Zheng with a ruthless face, and Zhou Zheng was surrounded by four young men who looked like outlaws, holding short knives in their hands, staring at Zhou Zheng like tigers and leopards, and the killing was revealed!

Zhou Zheng looked at Cui Chengli, sighed, and said, "I still underestimate you." ”

Cui Chengli didn't look proud, her face was fierce, and she said: "The surname is Zhou, either you promise me today, or we will die together!" ”

Zhou Zheng glanced at the four outlaws and said, "In broad daylight, killing the imperial court officials, your Cui family will be beheaded all over the house." ”

Cui Chengli's face was even more ruthless, and said: "Of course I know, but if you don't agree to me, my Cui family will also be beheaded, so it is better to end up!" ”

Zhou Zheng blinked, this Cui Chengli is smart at this time.

Cui Chengli looked at Zhou Zheng and said, "I'll give you 10,000 acres of fertile land, a house, and a shop, and the current silver is worth 400,000 silver, either you promise me, or we die together!" ”

Zhou Zheng has estimated the Cui family's property, and this is afraid that it is more than one-third, and it can be regarded as Cui Chengli gritting her teeth and bleeding profusely.

Zhou Zheng pretended to be silent for a long time, and said, "How can I believe that you will not retaliate in the future?" Breathe your breath, I'm no match. ”

Cui Chengli obviously had a draft, and said: "We signed and drew a pledge, and if anyone repents in the future, they will die together and die together!" ”

Zhou Zheng said without thinking: "Okay, but within one day, you have to give it all to me." ”

Cui Chengli didn't expect Zhou Zheng to agree so readily, but thinking about making a note, she was not afraid that Zhou Zheng would regret it, so she took out the paper from her arms, printed the clay, and said, "Press the handprint." ”

Zhou Zheng took two pieces of paper, which was a 'transaction note', saying that Zhou Zheng accepted 500,000 taels of silver from the Cui family, and would no longer write a letter to impeach Cui Chengxiu, and the well water would not violate the river water.

Zhou Zheng thought it was what kind of note, but he didn't expect it to be such a simple one.

But it's just such a one, if it is made public, with Zhu Youzhen's character, Zhou Zheng will definitely not escape death, and the Zhou family will have to be involved.

Zhou Zheng glanced at Cui Chengli and pressed his handprint on it without hesitation.

Cui Chengli watched Zhou Zheng press it with her own eyes, and then she breathed a sigh of relief, and then took it, he also pressed two, in duplicate, and then handed Zhou Zheng a copy, with a relieved expression, and said with a smile: "In the future, we will be a family, you go back and tell Lord Zhou, hold it high, put it down gently, and everything is easy to discuss." ”

Zhou Zheng knew that Cui Chengli was afraid that Daddy Zhou's investigation of the 'Wei Zhongxian case' would involve Cui Chengxiu, so he wanted to tie up Zhou Zheng and tie up Daddy Zhou in order to get out.

"Well, go back and prepare the silver, and I will send someone to receive it at once." Zhou Zheng said with a smile on his face.

Cui Chengli's expression was suddenly not so good, and the resentment and anger in her heart boiled together, but she was forcibly pressed again, and said, "You wait!" Let's go. ”

Cui Chengli waved her hand, took the four outlaws, and strode away with an angry face.

As soon as Cui Chengli turned the corner, a person climbed over the wall, knelt on one knee, and said, "Lord Zhou, the villain is derelict in his duties." ”

Zhou Zheng waved his hand, looked at the direction Cui Chengli left, his eyes were indifferent, and said: "I don't blame you, it was Cui Chengli who chose a good place, go, stop them for me, and get that piece of paper back, Cui Chengli...... Let him go back. ”

"Yes." The brocade-clothed secret guard answered the voice and left quickly.

Zhou Zheng walked out of the corner, looked at the back of Cui Chengli and the others leaving quickly, and said to himself: "You asked for it." ”

After speaking, Zhou Zheng turned in another direction.

There were more than a dozen people in Jinyi's secret guards, quietly ambushing on both sides of a road, seeing that there were fewer people, they shot quickly, and subdued Cui Chengli and the five people without much effort.

A secret guard took out the piece of paper from Cui Chengli's arms, looked at it, and put it in his arms.

Cui Chengli's nose was blue and his face was swollen after being beaten, he struggled, gritted his teeth and said: "Zhou Zheng, he actually doesn't keep his promise!" ”

Dark Guardian didn't have him, turned around and disappeared quickly.

On the other side, Zhou Zheng found Meng Hezhou, but came to the edict prison again.

Tian Ergeng sat opposite Zhou, maybe it was Luo Yangxing's torture, his body and face were all wounded, bloodstained, and his spirit was also very decadent, and his eyes were not as calm and fierce as before.

He looked at Zhou Zheng and said, "I don't have long to live, I want you to save my two sons, I will hand over the hundred dead soldiers to you, and the evidence of the crimes of the ministers of the government and the opposition that I have, this is very important to you, no matter how much you want, I don't have it." ”

Zhou Zheng's expression did not move, he thought for a while, and said, "Luo Yangxing wants to kill you?" ”

Tian Ergeng sneered and said, "He is greedy for money and lustful, and he is a pig who can't be fed." ”

Zhou Zheng is very concerned about the hundred dead soldiers, even if he can't hold it in his hands, he can't let them go outside without knowing it, this is a very terrible time bomb.

"Under fourteen." Zhou Zhengdao.

Historically, next year's Chongzhen will clean up the eunuchs, Tian Ergeng, Cui Chengxiu and others are the first wave, and they are mercilessly executed, and the whole family is lost, and no one is spared.

Fourteen years old is a minor at this time, and according to the law you can avoid death.

Tian Ergeng snorted coldly and said, "If that's the case, why do I need to beg you? ”

Zhou Zheng shook his head and said, "After you die, countless people will cut you down and eradicate the roots, and I can keep him from dying." ”

The corners of Tian Ergeng's mouth moved, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

He has killed countless people, most of them are high-ranking officials in the imperial court, if he dies, I don't know how many people will step on two feet, and his family will not be spared.

"You're going to answer me a question." Tian Ergeng stared at Zhou Zheng's eyes.

Zhou Zheng could hear that Tian Ergeng was no longer struggling, and said, "You say." ”

Tian Ergeng's eyes were gloomy, and he said: "You can always be one step ahead of others, as if you can see a lot of things, why?" ”

Tian Ergeng is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and he investigated Zhou Zheng in great detail, and many things about Zhou Zheng's past were found out by him, so it can be said that Tian Ergeng knows Zhou Zheng better than Zhou Qingli.

Zhou Zheng smiled faintly and said; "I am proficient in Fuxi gossip, and I have counted all the ancient and modern contacts."

Tian Ergeng's eyelids jumped, and then he sneered, and said, "Don't say it." I'll tell you the news that Luo Yangxing has set his sights on you. ”

Zhou Zheng raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect that the two commanders of the Jinyi Guard before and after were eyeing him, it seems that he will have to be careful in the future.

"Give the person to Wei Xizhuang, and I will keep the contract." Zhou Zheng stood up and said.

Tian Ergeng looked at Zhou Zheng's back, opened his mouth to speak, but he didn't say it.

A month ago, he was the commander of the majestic Jinyi Guard, but now, he is a prisoner waiting to die.

Zhou Zheng came out of Tian Ergeng's cell, saw Wei Xizhuang, saw that he was drunk, sighed, and said to Meng Hezhou: "You will send that Cao Zhihuang to Shuntian Mansion." ”

Meng Hezhou was taken aback and said, "You want to tear your face with Cui Chengxiu?" ”

Zhou Zheng looked cold and said: "The Cui family doesn't know whether to live or die, since they are looking for death, I will fulfill them!" ”

Meng Hezhou already knew what had happened just now, so he still asked, "Have you thought about the rest of the matter?" ”

Cao Zhihuang was sent by Cui Chengli to kill Zhou Zheng, a former six-part Shangshu, who actually assassinated the supervising imperial history, what a terrible thing! Not to mention the emperor, even the court will inevitably be angry, Cui Chengxiu will definitely be attacked by the masses, and the death penalty will not escape!

Choi Chengxiu is a die-hard eunuch with huge influence in the imperial court, and if he falls, it may cause unpredictable turmoil.
