The next morning, at dawn, Zhou Steward set off as soon as he was in person, although they wanted to eat meat and drink blood to Zhao Jin and Xuzhou, but they also felt that Xuzhou was safe on the ground, and they didn't have to worry about any bandits ringing horses and the like when they got up early and left late, and there was no danger in rushing early, so they went all the way to the west to the ferry of Kaifeng City, and then crossed the river back to Weihui Mansion, which was the most convenient.

There are a lot of merchants and pedestrians on Xuzhou Road, Zhou Steward walks in the middle of the people, the more he walks, the more he feels that this Xuzhou is prosperous, and there is gold and silver everywhere, and he thinks that if Zhao Jin understands the reason, how can this huge gold and silver sea have to have its own share, but such a toss, can only wait for the palace to swallow it and then divide it, think about the Lu Wangfu can only entrust the government to take a shot, layer by layer of profit and exploitation, and so on to the palace must be a lot less, and then stretch out your hand, then it will be less.

The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, the more angry I gritted my teeth, and my mind was turning over and over how to deal with these bastards who were not long-sighted in Xuzhou, and they didn't stop on the road, and after two days and one night, Steward Zhou, a Yu person, finally figured out the boundary of Xuzhou in Nanzhili and came to the territory of Guide Mansion, Henan.

As soon as they entered the Guide Mansion, the Zhou Steward and they immediately breathed a sigh of relief, this is the boundary of Henan, they naturally don't know that this side is also the control range of Zhao Ziying, in the huge vassal palace, only a few people have contact with the rivers and lakes, and Zhao Ziying's control of the Guide Mansion, a certain Cheng dù is in the sense of the rivers and lakes, the official government is still the official government of the Ming Dynasty, and what is practiced is also the law of the Ming Dynasty, how do you think this is also the land of the Ming Dynasty, which is related to Xuzhou Haoqiang?

Steward Zhou and his entourage are not in a hurry, they have suffered so much anger and so many sins in Xuzhou, how can they have a good rest for one night, and go to the dirt and bad luck on their bodies, otherwise they will go to Kaifeng Mansion with this appearance, and what should I do if I am recognized and made fun of by the people on King Zhou's side, I will lose the face of King Lu's Mansion, and I will definitely be unlucky when I go back.

From Dangshan in Xuzhou into Xiayi County, almost ten miles past Qiulonggou, to the post station of Xiayi County, Zhou Steward is a subordinate official of the palace, qualified to rest in the post station, and this side is the boundary of the government, and it is more reassuring to live.

Looking at the post station from afar, these people in Luwangfu are even more relaxed, some people talk and laugh quietly, some people curse loudly, scolding is naturally Xuzhou's encounter, the sun is sinking in the west, and most of the pedestrians on the road are entering the city or going to the post inn to stay, and from time to time I hear someone chanting to find a place to live quickly, Guide Mansion is far worse than Xuzhou, and it is not easy to live at night.

The current Zhou steward couldn't listen to others say that Xuzhou was good, but there was nothing he could do on the road, so he just spat in that direction angrily.

A mouthful of spit came out, but it brought a sharp whistling sound, which startled Steward Zhou, who was spitting, thinking that spitting and foaming still had such a loud momentum, and then there was a "poof", there were terrible screams and screams, Steward Zhou looked at a companion next to him whose chest was pierced by an arrow, and fell off the horse with a scream.

Caught off guard, the team of people in Luwangfu was already stunned, and those who reacted were also frightened and shouted, the whistling sound sounded continuously, and two more people were hit by arrows and fell off their horses, and Steward Zhou was terrified, but at this time, he also reacted, and beat the mount desperately, running first, running first.

The sun had not yet set, in broad daylight, there were actually people on the official road close to the city, and the merchants and travelers on the road were frightened and hurriedly ran towards the bottom of the official road, and the timid one was already paralyzed by fright, so he lay on the official road regardless of it, and immediately became a mess.

Steward Zhou and a few people rode horses, at this time they just rushed forward, in their thoughts, as long as they entered the county seat of Xiayi, they were safe, at this moment, Steward Zhou inexplicably thought that it was still peaceful on the ground in Xuzhou, if it was over there, how could there be such a thing.

As he was running, he saw several riders in front of him beating their horses and crossing them, stretching their bows and arrows on their horses, and shooting them in this direction.

Fate is not as good as luck, Steward Zhou is obese, and his riding skills are average, but in the head-on arrow shooting, the first to fall off the horse are his companions, and a few arrows are rubbing his scalp past, Steward Zhou can't care about anything, after running out of more than a dozen steps, he finally remembers to hit the horse and turn around, and he can't always make up for the dead road.

But this Zhou steward was obese, and the horses were galloping in a hurry, and this U-turn immediately lost his balance, and Zhou steward fell directly on the side of the official road with people and horses, one leg was crushed by the horse, and he screamed like a pig in pain on the side of the road.

"I am" At any time, Steward Zhou is accustomed to reporting his origins, but he was only halfway through the words, and when he heard something whistling and spinning, his head seemed to be hit by a heavy hammer, and he didn't know anything.

"The clothes were stripped away, the horses were taken away, and the naked ones were left behind." A big man said in a rough voice, and many of the other merchants lying on the official road could hear it clearly, which seemed to be the accent of the north side of Henan.

Although it is not far from the county seat of Xiayi, although the sun has not yet set, the sudden explosion of killing on the official road shocked everyone, everyone only scattered and fled for their lives, and no one remembered to report to the official at all, and there was no way to know about it in the city.

Passers-by didn't even know the faces of the murderers, maybe they had glanced at them when they passed by, but who knew which masked murderer they looked at, and who dared to look up now.

The murderers who were blocking the way with archery moved quickly, and Steward Zhou and his party were all stripped naked, and everything was just rolled up in a baggage, put on their mounts, and then left directly.

After the roar of the horses' hooves, the trembling pedestrians and caravans returned to the road, and all they saw were a few naked corpses, the corpses were covered with bloody wounds, and the fattest head was split open, and it looked very scary, and the timid ones vomited directly.

After another half an hour or so, the sun had already set, and Xiayi County's catch was late, and it was also very frightened to watch, and it was enough to gather more than 100 brave people, so I dared to come and check.

"It must be a big pole, this is ruthless, we will definitely not touch it, hurry up and report to Xuzhou" Xiayi County's head catcher is knowledgeable, and he knows that he can't manage it when he looks at this scene, anyway, Xiayi County, Defu is also sheltered by Zhao Ziying, and it is easy to hand it over there.

I can't touch it, and I should also check it, but the official road happened suddenly, no one saw the appearance of the murderer, the only clue is the accent on the north side of the Yellow River, and then there is no evidence on the corpse, everyone was stripped of Yu Jing, from the skin and fat and thin, from the description of this pedestrian by passers-by, I also know that the deceased is probably not an ordinary person, but other than that, there is no evidence, now this season of thieves, it is not uncommon to die on the road, if there is no bitter lord to find it, It's going to be gone.

Steward Zhou came in a hurry, and there was no delay on the road. only stopped to rest in Shangqiu, the city of Guide, and did not stop in Xiayi County, which was even more unrecognizable.

No one knew that Steward Zhou's clothes and waist badges were burned, and those that could not be burned were thrown into the Yellow River, and the horses were also set on fire after they were slaughtered, and the wreckage after burning was also thrown into the Yellow River, leaving no clues to trace at all.

On the third day after Zhao Jin arrived in Qingjiangpu, Niu Jinbao and the others rushed over to rendezvous.

"Master, the small ones have a lot of mouths, it's useless to kill Steward Zhou and others, they are also ant-like characters in Luwangfu, these few are gone, and others will be sent over there, and there will be trouble on the master's side, so it's better to go to the manor on the east bank of Luoma Lake, and let the master have less trouble." Niu Jinbao said very sincerely.

"There is someone from Henan, my Zhao Jin's guards are going to hide out, so whether this Zhao Zi camp should be maintained, you don't have to worry about anything else, you can protect me well, you don't have to worry about your mother, no one can move him here in Xuzhou." Zhao Jin said it very easily.

Niu Jinbao is not good at words, and when he heard this, he didn't continue to argue, but just solemnly hugged his fists as a courtesy.

Zhao Jin looked at the partners and cronies present, the existing people wanted to speak, looking at what they wanted to persuade, Zhao Jin said with a smile: "Our situation is bigger, we will inevitably encounter the big forces around us, those vassal kings, and the Confucian Mansion, that family doesn't have a large number of Zhuangzi, these Zhuangzi control the local salt roads and trade routes, are they willing to let them out?" When we meet, not only will they not talk to us, but they will also think that we are just local tyrants in Xuzhou, and they will think about swallowing us. ”

Wang Zhaojing and Ruhui stayed in Xuzhou, Zhou Xuezhi went to Yangzhou to talk with Yanshang, and Zhao Jin talked about these are martial artists, naturally there is no objection to Zhao Jin's words, after listening to him, Ji Xiang, Dong Bingfeng, Zhang Hubin, Li Dajin, Cheng Dahu have smiles on their faces, Ji Xiang nodded and said: "In this place of Nanzhili, who are we afraid of?" ”

Zhao Jin nodded with a smile, and said with a clean look: "Don't be careless, the first wave of Henan Luwangfu is coming, and the first wave of Shandong Luwangfu has not yet come, and when this first wave comes, there will be a second wave." ”

Speaking of this, the expressions of several people present became stern, Dong Bingfeng frowned and asked: "Big brother, if you go on like this, won't it attract officials and soldiers in the end, and touching the matter of relatives and clans is tantamount to complicity, and they will definitely dispatch a large army to suppress it, and unlike Ma Chonghao's time, they have a will and a name." ”

There was a conflict with the vassal king, which is tantamount to touching the authority of the Ming Dynasty, the vassal king will ask the court for help, and the local officials will not sit idly by.

Speaking of this, everyone in the room was even more solemn, Zhao Jin looked at it, smiled and said lightly: "What, are you afraid?" ”
