Chapter 68: Buying People's Hearts
"Now you're at ease, aren't you?" Zheng Hao looked at Li Xiang with a smile.
"Yes, the villain thanks Zheng Gongzi for his generosity and benevolence." Li Xiang knelt on the ground with a "poof", his arms still tied behind him, and he actually kowtowed to Zheng Hao with a "bang".
Zheng Hao hurriedly helped him up, and said, "Li Xiang, you don't have to be like this!" Although you were instructed by someone to almost burn down my restaurant, I have no hatred for you, Zheng can see that you are also a man, and what I admire is a man like you who dares to act! ”
"Zheng Gongzi, I have offended a lot before, and the villain will not be redeemed for his death! If I can spare my life this time, I will make it up to you! Li Xiang said.
"Don't think so much, let's go! The county must have been in a hurry. Zheng Hao said.
In this way, Li Xiang and others were taken to the county government and temporarily imprisoned.
Zheng Hao hurriedly went to see Cheng Zhixian.
"Virtuous nephew, have you caught all the thieves?" As soon as they met, Cheng Zhixian asked.
"Yes, my lord, they have all been arrested." Zheng Hao said.
"These people are damned! This time, I will punish them all three thousand miles of troops, so that they will never want to return to Wuxi again for the rest of their lives! also breathed a bad breath for the virtuous nephew. Cheng Zhixian said.
When Zheng Hao heard this, he hurriedly said, "My lord, no!" ”
Cheng Zhixian raised his eyebrows, with a puzzled expression: "Isn't the virtuous nephew still going to intercede for these villains?" Virtuous nephew! It's not me saying you, you can't be a woman! ”
"My lord, after my understanding and observation, I think that these people are not traitors, but still have some loyal and benevolent character, and they are also very skilled, I want to subdue them and open a standard store in Wuxi." Zheng Hao said his plan.
In the Ming Dynasty, there was no dart game, but there was a standard for playing and similar to the nature of the dart game.
The main task of the standard line is to protect business travel to and from various places, such as protecting the safe transportation of bulk commodities, etc., which is actually the dart game of the Qing Dynasty.
Zheng Hao's opening of the bidding line is just a pretense, he wants to raise a group of thugs with immediate combat power through the opening of the bidding line.
If you want to grow a little bit and protect your wealth, you can't do it without force. Zheng Hao just wants to have a private armed force that is only loyal to himself from now on.
"Hmm! So you have this plan, nephew, I ask you, do you see those people? The city fox society rat in Wuxi City is the most hateful, and the pit is abducted and deceived by all kinds of evil, you don't want to be deceived by them. Cheng Zhixian said.
"Don't worry, my lord, I still have a little bit of knowledge." Zheng Hao said.
"Since you say so, then you can dispose of these people yourself, but I think it is better to pass through the hall and let me take the opportunity to see their character." Cheng Zhixian said.
"Good! That kid still wants to ask the adults for something. Zheng Hao said.
"What?" Cheng Zhixian asked.
"Adults can intimidate them, and I can intercede with them again in the lobby, so that they can receive another share of my favor." Zheng Hao said with a smile.
"Good! I promise you it is. "Cheng Zhi County Road.
Cheng Zhixian said in his heart that this child is young, but his mind is deep.
So, he immediately went to court to ask about the case.
Some officials brought Li Xiang and the following cadres to the lobby, and the officials on both sides squeezed the sticks in their hands hard, and shouted in a long voice: "Might-martial-"
It really creates a harsh atmosphere.
"Sir! A bunch of criminals have been brought! Xing Zhutou knelt on one knee and reported to Cheng Zhixian.
"Xing Zhutou's case this time is handled well! Great work! Cheng Zhixian and Yan Yuese said to Xing Zhutou, "Just stand aside and rest!" ”
"Yes! Master! Xing Zhutou got up and stood aside.
Cheng Zhixian looked at Li Xiang and the others again, and his eyes became stern: "It's so Diaomin!" Dare to attack a good house at night, intending to set fire to loot, what a crime! ”
"In front of the master, don't kneel down yet!"
Immediately, a servant came out of the squad and kicked Li Xiang and the others to their knees.
"My lord, the villain is guilty! However, last night's events were all done by the villain, and the villain took it by himself, and begged the adults not to harm others! Li Xiang knelt straight on the ground and said in a deep voice.
"You! Dare to be so arrogant in the court, come on! First hit the forty boards to kill his majesty! Cheng Zhixian scolded.
As he spoke, Cheng Zhixian slammed the table with a startled wood, picked up the red-headed order in the lottery holder on the table and was about to drop it.
If the forty boards are really finished, no matter how strong a man is, he will have half a life.
However, under normal circumstances, it is inevitable to kill the powerful stick.
At this moment, Zheng Hao stood up, bowed his hand and said, "Slow down, adult!" ”
"Zheng Hao, what else do you have to say?" Cheng Zhixian asked sharply.
"My lord, when they were arresting this criminal, they were going to resist, but if these people and officials started to fight, death and injury would be inevitable! In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, I promised them that as long as they lay down their weapons and tie their hands, I would take care of them and let them suffer less flesh and skin! Please let me keep my promise! Zheng Hao said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Zheng Hao, how can you have such a compromise with these thieves? That's it, that's it! Since you have promised them, how can this official make your oath empty? Let's make a note of this board for now! Cheng Zhixian said.
Hearing Cheng Zhixian say this, Li Xiang threw a grateful glance at Zheng Hao.
He really didn't expect that Zheng Hao would actually intercede for himself in court, so that he would not suffer from a meal of flesh and skin.
And the other people who fought were also very moved.
"Li Xiang thanked the adults for not fighting! Thank you Zheng Gongzi for interceding for me. Li Xiang said.
Zheng Hao also thanked Cheng Zhixian and stepped aside.
Cheng Zhixian shouted at Li Xiang at this time: "You Diao Min, let me ask you, who are you instructed to do such a great evil thing?" ”
At this time, Li Xiang naturally would no longer shield Qin Xing.
He told him from the beginning how the unknown employer had found him, how he had behaved that night, how he had waited for him at the agreed place this morning, but the employer had not reappeared, and so on.
"My lord, I swear to God, I really don't know who that man is, but if I see him again, I will definitely recognize him." Li Xiang said.
"In this case, the official ordered someone to summon all the owners of several restaurants in the city to the court, you can identify them!" Cheng Zhixian said.
He wants to find out the real culprit behind the scenes and punish him, only in this way can he really help Zheng Hao take revenge.
