The second day after Shenying visited Zhou Chong, it was the day when he led his troops to Bazhou to quell the rebellion, in order to show his friendliness, Zhou Chong deliberately took time to see off Shenying outside the city, which also made Shenying very moved, and pulled Zhou Chong's hand and said a lot of thanks, and also took care of Zhou Chong, he will definitely suppress the rebellion in Bazhou as soon as possible, and go to him to serve as soon as possible. Zhou Zhong was also very happy about this, but he didn't forget to tell the other party that he must be careful when he quells the rebellion, and try not to let Liu Liu, Liu Qi and other anti-thief leaders escape.

After sending away the counterinsurgency army led by Shenying, Zhou Zhong also began to prepare to leave the capital, although there are only less than two months left before the New Year, but he really can't stay in the capital for a long time, the first is that there are still many things that he needs to deal with on the side of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, and second, he is now the newly established governor of the four seas in the Ming Dynasty, and the documents of the Ministry of Officials have come down, so he has to rush back to take office, this matter is more urgent than the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce, so Zhou Chong does not dare to delay.

Although Jinxuan and they really want to stay in the capital until the New Year, after all, there are many people in the capital and prosperous, and it must be very lively during the New Year, but they don't want to be separated from Zhou Chong, so after purchasing some things in the capital, they are content to leave, but Wang Lun is very reluctant to do this, after all, Jinxuan is still pregnant with a child in her belly, as a grandfather, he really wants Jinxuan to stay in the capital and give birth to the child, but unfortunately Zhou Zhong has the emperor's order and can't stay in the capital for a long time.

It is also worth mentioning that with the official appointment of Zhou Chong and the four seas, his name slowly spread in the capital, at first it was only among some top elites, but later more and more people knew about Zhou Chong. Moreover, they also knew that Zhou Zhong was deeply favored by His Majesty the Emperor. From a small businessman, he has become a feudal official like the governor of the four seas. This makes many people envious at the same time, but also full of jealousy in their hearts, especially among those young poets and scholars, who have regarded Zhou Zhong as a courtier like Qian Ning, so Zhou Chong's reputation among these people is not very good.

However, although the poets and calligraphers did not have a high opinion of Zhou Chong, they could not prevent Zhou Chong from becoming the hottest figure in the officialdom, especially in the days when Zhou Chong was about to leave, and the guests in Wang Lun's mansion were almost endless. All day long, people come to visit Zhouzhong. For these visitors, Zhou Chong was very warm at first, but later there were too many people, so he could only pick some people with more important positions, or people recommended by Wang Lun to meet, and others could only block the door.

And on the last day before Zhou Chong left Beijing, Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe also came to Wang Lun's mansion in person, although they came to visit Wang Lun's old friend in the name of the so-called drunkard's intention was not to get drunk, and their most important thing was to contact Zhou Chong personally. Then judge Zhouzhong's style of dealing with people, so that it is easier to get along in the future.

For Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe's intentions. Zhou Zhong can also guess, so he is also careful to deal with it, although he was reluctant to be an official before, but now that he has entered the officialdom, he has to take care of the relationship with the ministers of the court, and now he has left a good impression on Li Dongyang and others, not to mention anything else, what will he do in the future, it is easier to get the support of the cabinet.

Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe are also very satisfied with Zhou Chong's performance and character, and they also believe in Wang Lun's vision, after all, with Wang Lun's temper, it is absolutely impossible for him to marry his daughter to a person with a problematic character, which can also be felt in their contact with Zhou Chong, although Zhou Chong became a feudal official overnight, but his mentality is very peaceful, and he doesn't even care much about his official position in his words, which makes Li Dongyang and Zhou Chong have a high opinion in their hearts.

In the afternoon, Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe left, Zhou Zhong looked at the sky, there was still a period of time before the evening, he wanted to go back to the backyard to help Jinxuan and them pack up their things, speaking of which, these women are really born shopaholics, every time they go out, they have to buy a large number of goods, including food, use, clothes, and even toys for the children in Jinxuan's belly, etc., in just a few days, Jinxuan and they spent five or six thousand taels of silver, and the things they bought were enough to fill three big cars, and they will leave Beijing tomorrow, so Jinxuan and the others are sorting things and preparing them for loading.

But before Zhou Zhong returned to the backyard, he was hurriedly chased by a subordinate, and then said with a panicked face: "Uncle, a group of widows came to the front door, they said that they were uncle, your friend, and they had something urgent to see you!" ”

"Ashikaga Kazuki?" Zhou Zhong was also stunned when he heard this, he didn't need to ask to know Lu Dao, it must be Ashikaga Kazuki and Tayama Naoyoshi and others who came to find him, but I don't know why they suddenly came to see him? It is said that they will leave Beijing with them tomorrow, so they should pack up their things at the place where they live at this time, right?

With the doubts in his heart, Zhou Chong also hurried to the front door, and did not go to the living room, mainly because the subordinates in Wang Lun's mansion saw that the other party was a Japanese person, so they looked down on each other a little, and only let them wait in the gatehouse, when Zhou Chong saw Ashikaga Kazuki and Tayama Naoyoshi, there was not even a cup of tea in front of the two.

"What's the matter, you don't pack your things where you live, why do you have time to come to me?" When Zhou Chong entered the porter, he immediately asked, and he found that it was only Ashikaga Kazuki's Tayama Naoyoshi who came, but as for the Hatano Hidego, they didn't come, and Ashikaga Kazuki and the two of them now have blue noses and swollen faces, and they look like they have been beaten.

"Help, my lord, we didn't dare to disturb the adults, but we really ran into a big trouble, and we really couldn't solve it, so we could only come to ask the adults for help!" Hearing Zhou Chong's question, I saw Tian Shan Shangyi crying and saying to Zhou Chong.

"What the hell is going on, what's going on on your face, does anyone dare to hit you?" Zhou Zhong was also very surprised and asked, Ashikaga Kazuki They entered Beijing secretly this time, and in order to keep it secret, they have been living in the residence arranged by Wu Shan these days, and they hardly go out on weekdays, how can they get into any trouble?

At this time, I saw Ashikaga Kazuki also crying and said: "Lord Qiyu, it's also to blame us, because we are going to leave the capital tomorrow, we have been staying in the residence these days, and we have not been able to appreciate the prosperity of the Ming capital, so the three of us discussed, and decided to go around the street, but I didn't expect to run into big trouble." ”

Before Ashikaga Kazuki finished speaking, Tayama Naoyoshi also grabbed it at this time and continued: "Originally, we and Hatano-kun were enjoying the prosperity of the capital on the street, and we also bought a lot of things, but I didn't expect that when we were walking on the street, we accidentally bumped into a few people, and the other party was also very arrogant, and opened their mouths to point at us and scolded, Hatano-kun was young and imposing, so he returned a few words, but I didn't expect the other party to do it on the spot, although Ashikaga-kun and I resisted desperately, but the other party was overwhelmed, not only beat the two of us, And he also took Hatano-kun captive! ”

"Captivity...... Taken captive? Zhou Zhong was also very surprised when he heard the most ugly, Hatano Xiuxiang is not a beauty, even if he offends the other party with words, it's a big deal to beat them, how can he even kidnap people after the most ugly, the more he thinks about it, the more strange it becomes.

"By the way, do you know the identity of the beater?" Zhou Zhong asked again, the capital is so big, and there are even more scoundrels, if you don't know the identity of the other party, trying to find the other party is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

"This ......" Hearing this question, Ashikaga Kazuki and Tayama Naoyoshi were dumbfounded, they were beaten half to death at that time, and the other party would not be stupid enough to leave their names, so it was naturally impossible for them to know the identity of the other party.

Seeing the reaction of Ashikaga Kazuki and the two, Zhou Zhong secretly screamed badly, I don't know the identity of the captive of the road, how can he find it? But at this moment, Ashikaga Kazuki's eyes suddenly lit up and said: "My lord, although we don't know the identity of the other party, but those who beat us are brightly dressed, especially one of them is dressed luxuriously, and he doesn't look like an ordinary person." ”

Zhou Zhong smiled bitterly when he heard this, you must know that this is the capital, the aristocracy and rich can be said to be as many as cows, just by virtue of the other party's luxuriously dressed characteristics, it is meaningless, and since the other party is so arrogant, then he must have a tough background, which brings a lot of trouble to finding people.

But Zhou Zhong is not out of the question, he immediately asked Wu Shan to let him come, and then took Ashikaga Kazuki and the two to the living room, and after a while, Wu Shan came with Ma Liang and Wu Shi, and then Zhou Zhong asked Ashikaga Kazuki to tell the story of the matter, and then asked: "Wu Shan, are you sure to find the person who kidnapped Hatano Hideko?" ”

Wu Shan smiled when he heard this: "Don't worry, don't worry, in this capital, there is nothing that can be hidden from the eyes and ears of our Jinyi Guard, so don't worry, before dark, I will definitely find out the person who kidnapped Ambassador Hatano!" ”

Hearing Wu Shan's assurance, Zhou Chong was relieved, and then saw that Wu Shan immediately ordered Ma Liang and Wu Shi to take action, and he himself ran to rescue Qian Ning, after all, only through Qian Ning could he use Jin Yiwei's strength to find someone. Although Qian Ning was not as stubborn as other officials, he also wanted to have a good relationship with Zhou Chong, so he naturally tried his best to help find someone.

Wu Shan really didn't lie, and when the sun just touched the western horizon, Wu Shan came back with the news of the captives, but at this time the expression on his face was very strange, as if he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and Ma Liang and Wu Shi and others also had the same expression, and their eyes looking at Ashikaga Kazuki and Tayama Naoyoshi were also full of playfulness.
