Chapter 24: The Beginning of the Counterattack
"Poof, ahem, ahem, ahem, ahem!" Zheng Sheng squirted out all the tea in his throat.
He waved his hand at Sima Chang, who looked confused, and tried to calm himself. Zheng Sheng was a little dazed, what happened? In Sima Chang's eyes, how could he become an immortal master?
"Immortal Master, the method of becoming an immortal and the method of immortality, can you tell Xiao Wang?" Sima Chang asked cautiously.
Zheng Sheng understood Sima Chang's brain circuit, but he shook his head firmly: "I don't know the method of immortality." I can only make a few gadgets, not the immortal method. ”
Sima Chang continued to hug his thighs: "Immortal Master, the widow is willing to hand over all his wealth to you." Just... I just want to live forever! Aren't you able to trade items with your boss? Can't you get the elixir of immortality? ”
Zheng Sheng refused without hesitation: "I really don't understand the method of immortality, and I can't exchange it for the elixir of life." ”
Sima Chang sighed and collapsed to the ground.
Zheng Sheng had an idea, and then spoke: "Although I don't understand the method of immortality, there are still ways to prolong people's lives. ”
"I would like to hear more about it." Sima Chang's eyes lit up suddenly.
"Wellness is a long-term process, let's talk about it later!" Zheng Sheng decided to hang his appetite and plan for the future.
"Okay." Sima Chang agreed with his mouth.
Both were satisfied.
The army surrounding Dongyang left with Sima Chang, and Zheng's house also quieted down.
After such a hard "battle", when facing his friends again, Zheng Sheng had a smile on his face.
"We got over this one! Next, it's the real opponent. ”
Shi Chong! What a character.
Zheng Sheng learned history very poorly. The extravagant and wealthy Mr. Shi Chong of the Western Jin Dynasty that was highlighted in the junior high school textbook has long been forgotten.
After living in the Western Jin Dynasty for so long and understanding the story of Shi Chong's struggle with others in detail, Zheng Sheng vaguely remembered in his mind that this famous Shi Chong was a character who appeared in history textbooks in later generations.
Although not a positive role model, but a negative image of a bad person.
If the fight for wealth is only a common problem of luxury in the upper classes, then blocking the road and killing people and plundering caravans are simply frenzied and wicked acts.
Such a person actually became the assassin in charge of the entire Jingzhou.
What a crazy time!
Moreover, this man became his current opponent.
But so what? Shi Chong's Luo Tian net has almost been torn off by him.
Liu was defeated, and King Shunyang became his faithful "believer". Shi Chong's painstaking and lonely teammates are all gone.
Zheng Sheng felt that he was already in an invincible position.
Big deal, give up Xiangyang Auction House! Big deal, don't do business in Jingzhou, go to Luoyang and Yuzhou to develop!
The more Zheng Sheng thought about it, the more excited he became, he thought about returning to Wanquan Township immediately, ready to wrestle with Shi Chong.
The next day, Sima Chang gave Zheng Sheng a gift.
Liu Min walked in with the soldiers and a middle-aged man with a gray face.
"Who is this?" Zheng Sheng was a little puzzled.
"This person is the villain who bewitched the king. Yesterday, this person had escaped from Shunyang. The king will hunt him down overnight. Fortunately, he was not dishonored, and the last general will arrest this thief back. The king will hand him over to the prince at the end of his life. ”
After the lieutenant finished speaking, he handed over the people. Proudly turned away.
Zheng Sheng looked at this person with interest.
Yao Ping seemed to have foreseen his fate, but he was also very calm.
"What's your name?" Zheng Sheng asked.
"Yao Ping, a native of Xiangyang Shandu. The disciple of Lord Shi Chong, the assassin of Jingzhou. Yao Ping made his identity and origin clear. Although Zheng Sheng already knew, Yao Ping said it so calmly, he wanted to see Zheng Sheng's surprised and puzzled embarrassment!
You still want to interrogate me, kid? I've been blunt, but what can you do?
Do you dare to kill me? Big deal, die!
Zheng Sheng was indeed taken aback, such a scholar who "regarded death as home" was indeed a rare species.
From this point of view, Shi Chong's way of domination does have a set.
Zheng Sheng thought for a while and ordered: "Then ban this Mr. Yao Ping in this house in Dongyang for the time being!" ”
Yao Ping can't calm down, if he wants to kill, he will kill, what is it when he is imprisoned?
Before Yao Ping could scold, Zheng Sheng had already gone first. Liu Wei'er and others followed at the same time. After a while, only Yao Ping and the two old men who were housekeepers were left in the house.
Yao Ping was stunned, rushed out of the yard, and shouted angrily to Zheng Sheng, who had already got on the horse: "How can you do this? ”
"What's wrong with me?" Zheng Sheng is strange, you prisoner seems to be a little confused about your situation!
"I ...... Aren't you worried about me running away? With these two old decays, you can look at me? Yao Ping said angrily.
Zheng Sheng pointed to the janitor outside the door: "They are enough to watch you." ”
Yao Ping turned around and saw two strong men staring at him with malicious intentions.
"You've taken care of people." Zheng Sheng instructed again.
"Yes." The two said in unison.
Zheng Sheng left in a hurry.
When the matter of Shunyang is over, only the trouble from Xiangyang remains.
Zheng Sheng's return made Wanquan Township, which was still panicked and restless, really rejoiced although the kingdom army had been exhausted.
Everything seems to be back on track. However, it is just the beginning.
In the middle and late January of the fourth year of Yuankang, the heavy snow that fell in Jingbei finally disappeared, although it was still cold, but it was not as cold as before.
Zheng Sheng and Zheng Wen began to plot, and it was really not easy to deal with Shi Chong. As a small citizen, how can he fight against this emperor-like parent official?
Can we only respond passively?
They discussed a key issue at the moment.
"What should we do when Sunjiayi is there?" Zheng Wen asked.
The county government's investigation was unsuccessful, and there was no more news. Wang Ruan and the others naturally had no choice. Some time ago, the crazy actions of the Wang Guojun made Wang Ruan and others stay in Sunjiayi to wait and see the situation.
Now, the trouble of King Shunyang is solved. What should Sun Jiayi do?
"There are eight family members of my Zheng family who were attacked and killed by thieves in Sunjiayi. We certainly can't give up on them! Let Wang Ruan bring them back. Bury them in a beautiful way. Take care of their families. Zheng Sheng expressed his opinion.
"Take it back, I'm fine. But is it necessary to have a grand funeral? Zheng Wen hesitated.
"Cousin, do you think we still have a chance to make friends with the people from the south?" Zheng Sheng asked rhetorically, "If we don't treat the lives of our subordinates as our lives, people's hearts will be scattered, and in the end it will inevitably fall apart!" ”
"It's impossible to make friends, but isn't it best to solve the trouble in a gentle way?" Zheng Wen still has the last hope in his heart.
"Gentle means? How can it be. Moreover, if we are a little weak, the other party will definitely gain an inch! So, we might as well be tough! Ask for the murderer to be handed over, and Stone Thorn Shi will also apologize in person! ”
