Outside Zhu Mian's mansion, some idlers gathered at this time.

Originally, Zhu Mian's order was not to allow idle people to pass in front of his mansion, but it couldn't stop others from watching this way across Sun Laoqiao.

After all, this is a rare thing, someone actually ran to the door of Zhu's mansion and broke his door.

Zhou Quan was dressed in fresh clothes and angry, his face was full of arrogance, but he didn't have nostrils in the sky.

This is a full image of him, so that everyone knows when he sees it: this guy is not a good person, and he is not easy to mess with.

Next to him, Ji Chun shook his whip, which was also full of dog-legged image, grabbed a silver-belted steward of the Zhu Mansion and whipped it fiercely: "Things that don't have long eyes, even our yamen dare to stop them, if you weren't from Zhu Yingfeng's mansion, you would have skinned you!" ”

The subordinates of the Zhu Mansion next to him wanted to come up one by one, but they didn't dare to move forward in the face of a group of wolf-like entourages around Zhou Quan.

These entourages are swords out of their sheaths, and just now, they also slashed two soldiers who came up in the street, although they used the back of their swords and did not really hurt anyone, but it can be seen that these guys really dare to kill.

"Call Zhu Mian out, this official is here, why don't you come out to greet him soon?" Zhou Quan snorted with his chin and shouted arrogantly.

"Where did the wild dogs come from, dare to come to Suzhou to spread wild!"

Suddenly there was this voice from inside, and immediately after, a group of family members rushed out with swords and sticks, and there were two or three hundred people.

These people surrounded Zhou Quan and the others, and then dispersed in the middle, and dozens of tall and sturdy men hugged Zhu Mian and appeared in front of Zhou Quan.

Looking at the onlookers across the small river ditch, they became excited at this time.

"Will there be a fight, hundreds of people against dozens of people, dozens of people also look like some ruthless characters, will there be a fight?"

"You are stupid, how can this be fought, how dare dozens of people fight against hundreds of people?"

"But there are dozens of people here, just dare to knock on the door, this is the trouble to find Zhu Yingfeng, tsk, could it be that the royal relatives from Jingshi, in addition to this identity, there are still people in the world who dare to trouble Zhu Yingfeng?"

"I heard that it was from Xuzhou, what is it called Zhou Yanei......"

In the midst of the discussion, Zhu Mian raised his eyes and looked at Zhou Quan.

He was a little puzzled in his heart, it was expected that Zhou Quan came to trouble him, but how could this guy come to the door in broad daylight.

The confession he received just now, didn't he come to attack him and take him away?

"Hey, this is not the Son of Heaven going out on patrol, and the official family is going south, otherwise why is there such a big momentum?" Zhou Quan picked his ears with his little thumb, and his temperament was really revealed.

"You are Zhou Quan?" There were dozens of guards, plus hundreds of people surrounding Zhou Quan and his party, Zhu Mian had the courage to ask.

"This son is Zhou Quan, you thief, you are Zhu Mian, a traitor who killed the people?"

Zhu Mian was immediately angry when he heard this.

Even if the two factions in the political dispute between the DPRK and China still have to show some dignity to each other when they meet outside, how can they scold each other in the street like a scoundrel in the market!

"You ......"

"What are you, you, me, me, you dog thief, what is the purpose of detaining the shipwright I want? Also, you doglegs, privately making armor, hiding bows and crossbows, and saving your life, are you planning to do wrong? ”

Zhou Quan threw over a series of charges, and Zhu Mian was really angry.

There are some who are arrogant and domineering, and there are also those who are the emperor of Suzhou in this place, and even secretly take in the outlaws and connive at lawlessness, there are still some, but when it comes to plotting against him, he has nothing at all.

He was originally eloquent, but after meeting Zhou Quan, he was completely suppressed. And the interception of the boatsmith is indeed his fault, if he really wants to argue with Zhou Quan, he may not be able to gain the upper hand.

"Bring people out." Glancing at Zhou Quan coldly, Zhu Mian said.

"Joke, who can you bring out, unless you bring the official family out today, you will obediently hand over the boatman, maybe I will open the net!" Zhou Quan shouted.

After a while, Lao Zhu and Mason were brought out, and Mason was just gone, and when the naked Lao Zhu was dragged out, there was laughter all around.

Wu Yang and the others beside Zhou Quan looked very embarrassed, and Wu Yang stared at Lao Zhu with a gaze that hated iron and steel.

Lao Zhu was ashamed to die.

"Zhou Quan, the witness is here, what do you say?"

"What witness?"

"I am an official of the imperial court, and you dare to come all the way to kidnap me, such an act is no different from rebellion!" Zhu Mian said sharply: "These two have already been recruited, do you still want to deny it?" ”

If it were someone else, Zhu Mian would not be polite, and directly ordered his subordinates to arrest someone.

But in the face of Zhou Quan, especially Zhou Quan, who came to the door openly, Zhu Mian was a little weak-hearted.

Zhu Mian is not a person who gets carried away as soon as his brain is hot, Zhou Quan dares to do this, he must rely on something, before figuring out why Zhou Quan is relying on it, he can't act rashly, he has to endure, it is best to endure until Zhou Quan is undeniable, and then launch it in one fell swoop, cut the grass and eradicate the roots!

The more arrogant and domineering Zhou Quan is, the more he has to be forbearing, and with the help of the power of the imperial court, he will catch Zhou Quan.

In fact, there are already a large number of errand officers and soldiers who have arrived, and in addition to Zhu Mian's private soldiers, another layer has been surrounded.

But none of the chief officials in Suzhou appeared.

Even if they were all recommended by Zhu Mian, the situation was not clear at this time, and they didn't dare to come out and show their faces. After all, the two people facing each other now are both close ministers of the Son of Heaven, and if one of them is not good, they may cause a commotion.

In their hearts, and even in the eyes of most civil officials in the Great Song Dynasty today, there is no difference between Zhou Quan and Zhu Mian, they both rely on the favor of the official family to get the official title. As for Zhou Quan's exploits in the Liao State and the huge profits brought by the manufacture of cement, they are not as famous as Donghua Gate.

"What are you hiring?" Zhou Quan rode on the horse, condescending, looking at Lao Zhu and Mason.

Lao Zhu squeezed out an embarrassed smile on his face: "Brother Quan, I'm sorry...... They tortured me, and you see this wound on my body......"

"Phew, if you stay in the house honestly, how can you be captured?" An old brother beside Wuyang spat on his face.

The rest of the old brothers also showed shamelessness, this guy really didn't go up to the wall, and they all warned again and again, but they still slipped out, and after being captured, they exposed everyone again.

"Zhu Mian, what do you say they recruited?" Zhou Quan pursed his lips, with this old wish, these so-called old brothers of my father don't want to raise their heads in front of him and rely on the old and sell the old.

He called Zhu Mian's name, which was rude, and Zhu Mian didn't bother to answer him, and a gold belt steward came out, opened his confession, and began to read it.

Hearing that Lao Zhu and Mason really confessed without reservation, everyone was very embarrassed and despised Lao Zhu even more. Lao Zhu curled up on the ground, covering his face with his hands, but he was unconvinced in every way.

"That's it?" After the golden belt steward finished reading, Zhou Quan laughed, and then spit out three words.

"Isn't this enough, Zhou Quan, I think you want to rebel, privately store military armor, thousands of miles away, come to Suzhou to do a bad job, try to murder the imperial court officials...... Zhou Quan, what else do you have to say today? I will inevitably go to the official family to play a copy of you, so that your whole family will not end well! ”

", I gathered people and wanted to come to Suzhou to settle accounts with you, what's wrong? As for the so-called murder of the imperial court officials, have you ever seen a man like me, with only a few dozen people, running to your hundreds of people to murder you? This kind of stupid thing, you just talk about it here, you still want to bring this to the official family, thinking that the official family is as stupid as you? ”

"You...... You are a scoundrel, quibble! ”

Zhu Mian was furious, the halberd pointed at Zhou Quan, and at the same time, his heart was bright, no wonder Fang Cai felt that something was wrong.

Lao Zhu's confession is of no use at all!

In his confession, Zhou Quan just said that he would take them south to settle accounts with Zhu Mian, and as for arresting Zhu Mian, it was all their private speculation. Even if it is not speculation, only based on the confessions of Lao Zhu and Mason, the lawsuit is in front of Zhao Ji, and Zhao Ji will reprimand Zhou Quan at most, and then punish him.

"And I'm surprised, my companion came to Suzhou, neither did he commit adultery, nor did he offend you, Zhu Mian, the king of Suzhou, why was he arrested and tortured by you, and tortured into a trick? Could it be that you are trying to frame the minister? Alas, I understand, you know that the official family is building Genyue, and they urgently need a lot of cement, and they deliberately want to embarrass me, in fact, they want to prevent the official family from building Genyue! ”

Compared with buttoning his hat, although Zhou Quan is not as good as those civil officials who take the imperial examination as their career, he is not inferior to Zhu Mian. Both of them came out of the market, but Zhou Quan's insight was much stronger than Zhu Mian's, and after repeated words, Zhu Mian couldn't reply at all.

If he was in another place, he could ignore Zhou Quan, but now in Suzhou, on his territory, and at the gate of his house, if he gave up, wouldn't he lose face, and when he urged Hua Shigang in the future, maybe someone would want to resist, and even play the trick of going to Beijing to sue the emperor!

When his mind was turning, Zhu Mian sneered: "Okay, good, you have sharp teeth, and you have the ability to refer to a deer as a horse, this group of people sneakily came to Suzhou, quite like bandits, since I am here to preside over the Fengying Bureau, I naturally want to ask, now that I know that it is a misunderstanding, I will return these two people to you...... Do you want me to pay you some more for the soup and medicine? ”

He seems to have made concessions, but in fact he is advancing by retreating, Zhou Quan's main purpose in coming to Suzhou is to get back the shipwrights from him, as long as he doesn't let go of this, Zhou Quan is now arrogant, and he will return after all.

Zhou Quan didn't look at Lao Zhu and Mason, he just waved his hand, and someone dragged the two away.

At this time, although it was already spring, but the weather was not very hot, Lao Zhu froze for half the night, and after returning to his own side, he said in a trembling voice: "Which brother borrowed a piece of clothing for me to wear...... These dog thieves should be really ruthless......"

The people around him did not answer his words, and one of them, who was good friends with him, saw his pitiful appearance, and took off his coat and gave it to him, but he did not say a word.

"Ahh

At this moment, I suddenly heard someone shouting from the periphery, and those family members of Zhu Mian saw the honor guard coming, looked at each other, and then got out of the way.

I saw several officials grabbing the hem of their official uniforms and rushing over at a trot.
