Xiaohe Town is located in the north of Dinghai County, with a population of more than 10,000 people, and the most famous family in the town is none other than the Zhou family.

The current head of the Zhou family is named Zhou Renshan, although there is the word "benevolence" in his name and he also has the fame of Xiucai, but he is an out-and-out bully.

Zhoufu is located in the south of Xiaohe Town, covering a vast area, with red bricks and green tiles, which looks magnificent.

When the two doormen were listlessly hiding in the shade of the gate of the Zhou Mansion and chatting, there was a sudden commotion on the street, and a large group of people gathered around a motorcade and marched mightily.

The two doormen were immediately attracted and craned their necks with great interest, and from the luxurious carriage in the convoy, they knew that the people sitting in it were either rich or noble, but they did not know who they were.

Under the somewhat surprised gaze of the two guards, the convoy stopped in front of the Zhou Mansion, and Li Yuntian, Zheng Liang and others got out of the carriage one after another.

"How many masters don't know what to call it?" The two didn't dare to slack off and trotted up to meet them, bowed down and asked Li Yuntian and the others with a smile on their faces.

"Is this the case?" Li Yuntian ignored the two doormen, looked up at the two big characters "Zhou Mansion" on the plaque hanging on the door of the mansion, and turned to ask Zhao Dahai, who was following behind a middle-aged man with a bandage on his head.

"Mr. Li, this is Zhou Papi's home." Zhao Dahai nodded again and again, Li Yuntian was not afraid of Zhou Papi, and he directly said Zhou Papi's nickname.

This made the two doormen couldn't help but look at each other in amazement, listening to Zhao Dahai's tone, these people in front of him seemed to be not good.

Soon, a doorman recognized the middle-aged man with a bandage on his head that Zhao Dahai was holding, his face suddenly changed, and after whispering a few words to the other doorman, he pulled his legs and ran into the house.

"How many masters, I don't know what happened to our house?" The rest of the doormen then looked at Li Yuntian with a smile, and the look on their faces became vigilant.

"Let Zhou peel out." Li Yuntian naturally disdained to take care of a doorman, Zhao Dahai and others helped the middle-aged man with a bandage on his head and a haggard look to step forward and glared at the doorman, "I want to ask Zhou Papi, in broad daylight, Lang Lang Qiankun, why are you robbing things and beating people?" ”

It turned out that the injured middle-aged man was Zhao Dahai's future father-in-law, Mancang, and this time Li Yuntian came to ask Zhou for justice with his support.

"You are so bold, you dare to speak out to mock my master, are you impatient." Seeing that Zhao Dahai called Zhou Renshan Zhou Peel twice in a row, the doorman couldn't help but show a fierce look in his eyes and glared at Zhao Dahai viciously.

"Your master has done all the bad things, and he still wants to be a 'good man of Zhou', which is really hateful." If it had been left in the past, Zhao Dahai would definitely be frightened by that doorman, but now that the dignified Zhongwu King was behind him, how could he be afraid of this doorman, so he sneered and mocked.

Because Zhou Renshan will also show some small favors to accumulate fame on weekdays, he likes others to call him Zhou Dashan, but the people still call him Zhou Papi in private.

"You...... You're just looking for death, see how our lord will clean you up later. The doorman was stunned for a moment, never imagined that Zhao Dahai would be so ignorant, and then pointed at Zhao Dahai viciously and said.

As soon as his words fell, a guard standing aside stepped forward and slapped him to the ground, it turned out that Li Yuntian was standing behind Zhao Dahai, and when the doorman stretched out his hand to point at Zhao Dahai, he also pointed at Li Yuntian.

Seeing this situation, the people who were originally chattering around to watch the excitement quieted down in an instant, and in their impression, no one dared to teach the subordinates of the Zhou Mansion a lesson in front of the door of the Zhou Mansion, wouldn't this not give Zhou a face? And Zhou Papi is the undisputed overlord of Xiaohe Town, and no one dares to provoke him.

"You...... You've got to wait. The doorman had knocked out a few teeth, and there was blood on his mouth and nose, and it took him half a day to get up from the ground, reach out and wipe the blood in front of his nose, and then staggered to Li Yuntian, and then staggered to the courtyard.

"The sea, the people of the Zhou family are not easy to provoke, Mr. Li won't have any trouble, right?" Looking at the doorman who had fled from the wolf, a young man standing beside Zhao Dahai asked with some concern, after all, in their eyes, Zhou Papi was a god-like figure, and offending Zhou Papi would usually be miserable.

"It's fine." Zhao Dahai turned his head to look and saw that the young people around him had worried expressions on their faces, so he smiled and comforted in a low voice, "This time Zhou is done, and I can't do evil again in the future." ”

The young people couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this, they didn't know where Zhao Dahai got his confidence, but Zhao Dahai looked full of confidence, which made them suspicious.

Hearing that Zhou Papi was being asked for trouble, the whole Xiaohe Town immediately boiled, and the townspeople trotted from all directions to see the excitement, and soon surrounded the streets, buzzing and talking there.

Maybe there were too many people gathered outside the door, and Zhou Papi came out of the door for a while, a middle-aged man with a big belly and small eyes, surrounded by dozens of family members carrying knives, guns and sticks.

With the appearance of Zhou Papi, the scene gradually quieted down, and people stared at the scene in front of them, secretly waiting for the development of the situation.

Li Yuntian had already received the news at this time that a subordinate of the Zhou family had slipped away on a horse through the back door, and it seemed that he had moved to the county government to rescue the troops.

This is exactly what Li Yuntian wants, he is afraid that today's incident will not make much trouble, and when Zhou Papi's son-in-law, who is a secretary in the county yahu department, comes, he will just catch it all.

"Who are you who dare to make trouble in Master Ben's mansion?" Zhou Papi squinted his small eyes and glanced around at the person outside the door, then his gaze fell on Li Yuntian's body and asked coldly.

"Zhou Papi, why did you rob our fish and hurt people." Hearing this, Zhao Dahai immediately stepped forward, glared at Zhou Papi and said.

"Fish?" Zhou Papi's brows furrowed slightly when he heard this, he was surprised that Zhao Dahai dared to call him "Zhou Papi" in public, and at the same time felt a little puzzled about what Zhao Dahai said, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at a middle-aged man with a roe head rat on the side.

"Master, that's the case, this morning the little one saw someone selling fish on the street very fresh, so he asked him to send the fish to the house, and then the villain caught these fish from the sea, so he was ready to send it to the official, it was he who begged the villain to see that he was pitiful, so he let him go, I didn't think that he would come to our house to make trouble now."

The middle-aged man with the roe head rat eye was Steward Zhang of the Zhou Mansion, and after glancing at Uncle Mancang who was being supported, he opened his mouth and said to Zhou, "Master, the villain has sent someone to throw those fish into the sea, and according to our Ming Dynasty's ban on the sea, these fish are forbidden and cannot be kept." ”

"You're talking nonsense." At this time, Uncle Mancang couldn't help but open his mouth, and looked at Steward Zhang with an angry expression, "You said that those fish should be offered to King Zhongwu to try fresh, let me ask King Zhongwu for money, I knelt down and begged you to give me a little money, and the family was in a hurry, so you let those subordinates beat me out, and said that those fish were caught from the sea." ”

At this moment, it is naturally impossible for Uncle Mancang to admit that his fish were caught from the sea, in fact, there is a big difference between marine fish and freshwater fish, and the fishermen on the shore can recognize it at a glance, which means that Steward Zhang has long known that those fish are marine fish, and deliberately deceived Uncle Mancang.

"How noble is King Zhongwu, how can he take a fancy to your broken fish?"

Steward Zhang sneered when he heard this, with a look of disdain on his face, "You were fine when you left our Zhou Mansion, but now you say that we beat you, God knows what trouble you caused there, I can see a lot of people like you who want to extort money." ”

"You spew blood, you say that King Zhongwu delicacies the mountains and seas every day, when he eats fish, he only eats a little fresh meat from the belly of the fish, and he has to prepare dozens of fish for a meal, and he also said that it is my blessing that those fish can enter King Zhongwu's mouth." Uncle Mancang immediately retorted with a sad and indignant face, "If I hadn't run fast, I'm afraid I would have been beaten to death by your men." ”

"In the past two days, under the banner of offering gifts to King Zhongwu, you have forced all shops and big households in the town to pay for goods, and you have not even let go of the people who sell vegetables and firewood in the market, which is really too deceitful." As he spoke, Uncle Mancang raised his voice and looked at Steward Zhang with great indignation.

"Is there such a thing?" The corners of Zhou Papi's eyebrows twitched, and his eyes were full of viciousness when he looked at Uncle Mancang, and then he pretended to ask Steward Zhang.

Nine times out of ten, what Steward Zhang did outside was at the behest of Zhou Papi, and he asked Steward Zhang to blackmail the merchants and big families in the town this time, and he wanted to take advantage of Li Yuntian's arrival to make a fortune, he didn't think that the people in the town dared to confront Li Yuntian.

"Master, he is talking nonsense, there is no such thing, the villain has always been fair to trade, and he has never done anything to take it by force." Steward Zhang shook his head solemnly, categorically denied Uncle Mancang's accusation, raised his head and glanced viciously at the crowd of onlookers, and said loudly, "Master, now that the villagers are here, you can ask them to see if the villain has done those things." ”

"Folks, if Steward Zhang does do something evil, you sue Master Ben, and Master Ben will definitely not protect him." Zhou Papi then looked at the people at the scene and said in a gloomy tone.

Seeing Zhou Papi looking over, many of the people present lowered their heads in fear, which made Zhou Paopi quite proud, and looked at Li Yuntian with slanted eyes, looking a little proud.

He knew that Li Yuntian was Zhao Dahai's backer, and if there was no Li Yuntian, Zhao Dahai would not dare to go to his house to make trouble, otherwise he would be killing himself.

Although Zhou Papi still doesn't know who Li Yuntian is, and he doesn't know what kind of relationship he has with Zhao Dahai, he is not afraid of Li Yuntian.

Because Li Yuntian spoke with a Jiangxi accent just now, and he didn't have half of the official authority on his body, Zhou Papi concluded that Li Yuntian was a wealthy businessman, maybe Li Yuntian had some skills in Jiangxi, but Zhejiang and Jiangxi belonged to two political departments, and he was the head snake on the boundary of Dinghai County, and the strong dragon did not suppress the head snake, so he was not afraid of Li Yuntian.

Besides, if Li Yuntian really had the ability, he would have already alarmed the people of the county government, since Li Yuntian couldn't even command the Dinghai county government, so what else was there to be afraid of?

Zhou Papi looked at Zheng Liang, Li Yi'an and the others a few times, and felt that the middle-aged men and old men standing behind Li Yuntian were a little official, but since they were behind Li Yuntian, they must not be big people.

In the face of Zhou Papi's provocation, Li Yuntian's face was not shocked, in front of him, Zhou Papi was simply an ant-like storage zài, so he didn't need to bother with this kind of little person, now let this guy be proud, and someone would naturally fix him at that time. R1148
