Chapter 220: Someone from the East Factory
Sitting in a spacious and ventilated hall without the sun shining, with a few slices of cut watermelon and other fruits to cool off on top of the table in front of him, there is no need to think about or do anything, this is Yang Zhen's current life. The www.biquge.info seems to be very comfortable, enough to make most people envious, but this is not the life he wants.
Since the big victory in the previous two conflicts, Yang Zhen's name has risen in the capital, which has caused the original guys who are not very peaceful and always like to make trouble on the chessboard street have also become extremely restrained and no longer dare to make trouble at will, which makes Yang Zhen and them have nothing to do for a while.
In addition to the routine of sending people to patrol all parts of Qipan Street every day, and charging some fees to various merchants after a few days, even Mo Chong and them became idle. It turned out that they could still hide in the house and play for money, but Yang Zhen explicitly forbade them to gamble, so these people didn't know what to do all day.
Fortunately, Yang Zhen then thought of a way, so he called the seven people to the courtyard, ordered them to practice martial arts to strengthen their bodies according to their own wishes, and taught them a set of sanda tricks in later generations, so that they could kill time when they had something. On the contrary, Yang Zhen himself, in addition to practicing the Qingfeng Technique, was left to read the notes given to him by his brother.
But Yang Zhen always couldn't bear to do these two things, because he always felt uneasy in his heart and always felt that the situation was urgent. If he falls silent next, I am afraid that he will soon be forgotten, after all, this is the city of Beijing, there are too many stories happening every day, and there are too many people who suddenly rise because of something like him before, but fall like meteors. At that time, he can only be a hundred households watching the street in obscurity, not to mention that he wants to be an enemy of a big man like Zhang Juzheng, even if he wants to deal with open guns and hidden arrows from all sides, it will be very difficult.
But after going to the Zhenfu Division, Yang Zhen knew that it was not appropriate for him to take the initiative to make trouble recently, so even if he knew that opponents like Lin Tiande and Ren Zhigu were secretly calculating him, he couldn't take the initiative to attack. This dilemma made Yang Zhen's body still feel hot from time to time even though he was in a fairly shady hall now, and he just wanted to yell a few times loudly to expel the depression in his heart.
But in order to establish his fearless image in front of his subordinates, Yang Zhen couldn't show the uneasiness in his heart. In the end, Yang Zhen could only replace his shouting with a long exhalation, and then picked up a piece of watermelon and vented his unhappiness on this poor watermelon.
Just when Yang Zhen devoured three slices of melon and wanted to go to the courtyard to see how the brothers were practicing, a figure suddenly blocked the sunlight outside, and Hu Ge's voice followed: "Baihu, today in the 'Food for the Sky' restaurant, someone ate white food and made trouble, and was taken by his subordinates." ”
Listening to this kind of thing he reported, Yang Zhen frowned with some dissatisfaction: "You don't have to report this kind of trivial matter to me, let him give the money, teach him a lesson, and let it go." ”
"Yes...... But after the man was seized by his subordinates, he said that he wanted to see a hundred households. Hu Ge said with some hesitation: "He said that there are confidential matters that need to be discussed after meeting with Baihu." ”
"Huh?" Yang Zhen hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Has he revealed his identity?" ”
He didn't say it, but his subordinates didn't look at his behavior, and he really didn't look like the kind of scoundrel who would eat overlord meals.
"Did anyone bring it?"
"Yes. He told me to deal with him as I would with the usual thieves, so I put him in a nearby hut for the time being. Hugo replied truthfully.
"Well, yes, I see, you can go down." Yang Zhen nodded, and at the same time muttered in his heart, I don't know what the way this guy wants to see him by such extraordinary means, and what is his purpose?
Yang Zhen knew very well why that person wanted to use such a method to meet him, because there were already a lot of eyeliner from Dongchang and Zhenfu Division around their small courtyard. Even if Yang Zhen has already settled down in the past few days, everything is so calm, these eyes are still staring at here dutifully, so if that person really has some ulterior motives to find him, he really has to use some different ways. It's a good idea to be brought in like an ordinary thief.
Yang Zhen already felt that the past few days had been too dull, and he was worried that he had nothing to do, but now when he heard about it, he immediately became interested. But he knew better that the outside eyeliner could still see the situation in the courtyard, and if he was in such a hurry to see a thief, maybe it would also be annoying, so he put up with it for the time being, and waited until it got dark.
After dusk, when the sky had completely darkened, and he was sure that no one would be able to accurately grasp his whereabouts unless he had the ability to see in the dark, Yang Zhen came to the hut that was temporarily used as a prison cell and unlocked the door.
As soon as the door opened, there was an exclamation from inside: "Yang Baihu is indeed brave and resourceful, and thoughtful. I didn't come to see you until after dark. ”
Yang Zhen stood in front of the door and carefully looked at the person in front of him, and found that this person was indeed as extraordinary as Hu Ge said, and he was by no means comparable to an ordinary scoundrel, in his forties, even if he was locked up for a long time, his eyes were still shining and he was extremely shrewd.
"Your Excellency praised it falsely, but you are just less courageous, so you have to be careful." After hearing the other party's words, Yang Zhen just responded indifferently. Then, he turned his face blank: "You used such means to sneak into me just to see me Yang Zhen." Now that you've seen me, please reveal your identity. ”
The man faced the compelling momentum exuded by Yang Zhen, but he didn't seem to be aware of it, but smiled easily: "Yang Baihu is really a happy person, and he likes to deal with people like you." In the lower Zheng Tianchu, it is now the four heads of the East Factory. ”
Hearing this person's identity revealed, Yang Zhen's heart suddenly tightened, and his eyebrows rose even more, like two sharp swords stabbing out. Dongchang has always been able to deal with him, this person is not a low-status Si Huang in Dongchang, so his intention is not so simple.
"Yang Baihu don't panic, there is no malice here!" As soon as Zheng Tianchu saw Yang Zhen's appearance, he knew the other party's thoughts, and quickly explained: "Just like the Jinyi Guard is not all Yang Baihu's friends, and the East Factory is not all your enemies." ”
Hearing him say this, and his attitude was very sincere, Yang Zhen slightly restrained his vigilance and killing intent, but there was still no expression on his face: "You said that you have no ill will towards me, but do you have any credentials?" ”
Zheng Tianchu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "You can't take this down." You can't say that I didn't suddenly attack Yang Baihu after meeting Yang Baihu to prove that I have no ill will towards you, right? But I think that if it really hurts you, I won't tell you the truth. ”
Yang Zhen is acceptable to his explanation, after all, he doesn't know the identity of the other party, and if Zheng Tianchu makes up an identity casually, he can't find out. Since he was sure that the other party was not trying to harm himself, he relaxed slightly: "Then tell me your intentions." ”
"Here, one is to see Yang Baihu to see if you are as powerful as rumored. Now it seems that it is indeed extraordinary, at least in terms of carefulness, it is very human. ”
In the face of Zheng Tianchu's praise, Yang Zhen just listened quietly, without the slightest emotional fluctuation. He didn't deal with people in the officialdom once or twice, and he knew too well that they talked around the bend and could only get to the point in a long time, so he didn't pay much attention to Zheng Tianchu's words at the beginning.
And his performance made Zheng Tianchu sigh even more in his heart: "This Yang Zhen looks only in his twenties, but he is so calm and calm, without the impetuousness and exposure of young people, it is indeed unusual!" This realization made him unconsciously look at Yang Zhen a few more times, and then he was no longer as rash as before, and continued: "These two times, I want to make friends with Yang Baihu on the orders of others, so I can take care of each other in the future." ”
"Make a friend?" Yang Zhen naturally understood the meaning behind these four words, that is, joining forces with someone to be the enemy. And the identity of the guy who can call a Dongchang head to come forward to meet and unite with him, but I am afraid that the identity of the guy who wants to be the enemy is also extremely high, and as far as Yang Zhen guessed, the identity of that person is already very clear.
But he still pretended to be a little surprised and said, "Do you think so highly of me as a small brocade guard?" I have nothing but a little notoriety for offending people. As Brother Zheng, it's not easy to deal with anyone, do you still need me? ”
"Hey, Yang Baihu's words are too presumptuous, and the skills and conditions you have are not what we can have." Saying that, Zheng Tianchu suddenly said solemnly: "In order to express our sincerity, I will tell you a secret." Do you know who is instructing the Four Seas Gang to cause trouble for you? ”
"Isn't it Lin Tiande?" Yang Zhen said casually.
"No, he's just being commanded." Zheng Tianchu looked like you really didn't know the truth in it, and then lowered his voice and said: "As for the person who instructed him to do this, it was Song Xueqiao, the current celebrity of our East Factory!" All of this is what he is doing behind his back. ”
Yang Zhen had been suspicious of this impressive guy before, and he didn't want it to be true, which made him a little stunned. And Zheng Tianchu, who thought that Yang Zhen had already been moved, continued: "And I came to see Yang Baihu this time, just to hope that I can join forces with you, and we will deal with Song Xueqiao together!" After speaking, a pair of eyes covered Yang Zhen fixedly, just waiting for him to give an answer.
Although Yang Zhen didn't know why Song Xueqiao couldn't get along with him, since the other party was really calculating against him, he couldn't help but fight back, and it would be a good opportunity to get the help of Zheng Tianchu, a person in the East Factory.
But then, Yang Zhen thought of something again, not only did he not nod his head in agreement, but laughed thoughtfully: "Brother Zheng, what you said seems to be a little untrue. If you really want to work with me, you should be honest. ”
