Chapter 152: Variables
It was Zhou Shuzhan who came in a hurry to stop Rong Zhi and Zhang Bingsheng from fighting. He came with a large number of people, and the prefect of Zhenyuan was stripped of his official position because of the breaking of the embankment, and the prefect's official rank is not small, not as good as the county order, so the official position of the prefect of Zhenyuan has not been able to be topped.
The imperial court made a compromise, anyway, An Xia Zecheng was close to Tongjiang, so he simply let Zhou Shuzhan serve as the state capital of the two places.
Zhang Bingsheng didn't expect Rong Zhi to be so difficult, and he didn't know what the group of people in the post house were doing. Obviously said that he would come to help after taking away the food, but now he has not seen anyone for a long time, is this not even an "empty city"?
And his own situation is not much better, although Rong Zhi's manpower is not as good as him, but Rong Zhi's skills are surprisingly good. Rongzhi also seems to be well aware of his disadvantages, and has made up his mind from the beginning to capture the thief and capture the king first.
Simply, Zhou Fuyin came, but what he didn't expect was that it was not only Zhou Shuzhan who came, but also Gu Lingxu, who was wearing black armor.
Zhou Shuzhan didn't expect to meet Gu Lingxu at first, he met this person by chance outside the city. He asked Gu Lingxu why he suddenly came to Anxia County, although Gu Lingxu didn't tell him, but in his words, he also revealed that he came for Rongzhi.
Rong Zhi and Gu Lingxu have always had old grudges, Gu Lingxu looked down on Rong Zhi in his heart, and he didn't think that Rong Zhi would really benefit the country and the people, and it was not surprising that Gu Lingxu would come from afar.
He thought about it for a while, and pulled Gu Lingxu to come with him, which was only beneficial and harmless to tonight's affairs. After all, Gu Lingxu hated Rong Zhi to death, so he brought Gu Lingxu over.
When Zhou Shuzhan rushed over, Rong Zhi was holding Zhang Bingsheng in his hand.
"Rong Xun, what are you doing here?" Zhou Shuzhan's eyes revealed unkindness.
Before Rong Zhi could speak, Zhang Bingsheng couldn't wait to speak: "Zhou Fu Yin, Rong Zhi fornicated with bandits, guarded and stole himself, and even committed murder in the post house, and asked Fu Yin not to take care of the lower officials, and quickly punish this thief."
There was a faint uneasiness in his heart, and the movement on the side of the post house gradually became smaller, but he didn't think that it was their people who got it, if they really got it, why didn't they come to help?
Only by killing people as soon as possible, even if there is any mistake on the side of the post house, they can work together to suppress it.
Rong Zhi didn't say anything, his gaze inadvertently crossed over the black-armored young man beside Zhou Shuzhan.
Gu Lingxu's eyes were complicated, and when he saw Rong Zhi looking at him, he still nodded lightly.
"Rongzhi, don't be caught yet!" Zhou Shuzhan understood Zhang Bingsheng's hint, and his eyes glanced sharply at this Rongzhi.
Gu Lingxu raised his hand, and the soldiers he brought with him drew their knives and aimed them at Rong Zhi under his order.
"Marquis Xiangcheng, Zhou Fuyin, this official is an official of the imperial court, even if he wants to be convicted, he must allow this official to distinguish one from the other, right? Is there any reason why you have taken it for yourself? This official came by holy decree, and he was appointed by the Holy Lord to inspect the state capital on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and even if the official position was not high, he could not tolerate the presumptuous nature of others." Rong Zhi's face is not good.
"Snort-" Gu Ling sneered and said coldly, "Even a patrol officer dares to pull the flag of the Son of Heaven, you can't help but take yourself too seriously."
"You will be captured, and when things are calm, the official will distinguish them for you, but I am afraid that you will be a thief and refuse to surrender." Zhou Shuzhan said coldly.
Rong Zhi couldn't help sneering, if he was really caught at this time, it would undoubtedly be a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, if he really fell into the hands of Zhou Shuzhan, I am afraid that he would die in the end.
Seeing that he was still going to resist, Zhou Shuzhan was not angry but happy, and it was always a little more difficult to kill Rong Zhi in prison than outside.
Just when Zhou Shuzhan was about to order the encirclement and suppression of Rong Zhi, a girl in a cloak suddenly fell from the sky, she shot quickly, Zhou Shuzhan was shocked, and accidentally fell off the horse.
Just as he thought he was about to fall to the ground, the girl in the cloak suddenly grabbed him by the collar, and before he could react, a broken sword was already across his neck.
Rong Zhi also restrained Zhang Bingsheng in his hand, and when he saw Li Sheng attacking, he smiled lightly.
His original idea was to let Gu Lingxu come to the rescue, but thinking of Gu Lingxu's usual identity and position, it was difficult for Gu Lingxu to help him on the surface, so he thought of such a way. Ning Rushuang held Zhou Shuzhan hostage in exchange for the opportunity to "negotiate" with Gu Lingxu.
Everything is to fool the Zhou family and Guan Zhi thousands of miles away.
"Who are you? How dare you hold a state capital hostage?" Zhou Shuzhan scolded sharply, although he was taken aback, there was no fear on his face.
Gu Lingxu was also vigilant, he looked at this girl who was sitting on a horse and holding Zhou Shuzhan hostage.
Although there was this plan in the letter that Rong Zhi passed on to him at the beginning, he was still very surprised when it was actually implemented.
Because...... Before this girl made a move, he didn't notice it at all.
It shows that this person's martial arts are extremely high.
Presumably this is the sister of Ning Erniang, the powerful Ning lady. Ning Rujin is already strong in martial arts, but it is still within his acceptable range.
But Ning Rushuang is different.
There is indeed a woman named Ning Rushuang on the rivers and lakes, I heard that her martial arts are very high, but she doesn't make many shots, and no one knows her identity, so no one cares.
I didn't expect it to be such a master, but another day it can be compared.
But now is not the time to think about that.
"Zhou Fu Yin, don't worry, Ning Niangzi is the guard next to the official, and the Zhang County Order led the official out of the post house on the grounds that the people outside the city had changed, and the official deliberately left Ning Niangzi behind, just in case someone broke into the post house and tried to steal the grain and grass. Now it seems that it makes sense to be prepared." Rong Zhi glanced at Zhang Bingsheng coldly.
Zhou Shuzhan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood something, he looked at Zhang Bingsheng, only to see that he was dark and surprised, obviously he didn't expect Rong Zhi to say such a thing.
Zhou Shuzhan glanced at the black-armored young man beside him, and regretted walking with him for a moment, since Rong Zhi could say such a thing, it was clear that he had a backhand. If he didn't go with Gu Lingxu, then even if Rong Zhi saw through everything, it would be useless.
In such a world, it is inherently difficult for right to triumph over might.
What if Rongzhi sees everything? In such a world, without the protection of power, he can easily destroy Rong Zhi.
But he took Gu Lingxu with him.
Gu Ling was a young man and hated the eunuchs to death, but he really cared for the people. This matter really has to be revealed to the world, even if Gu Lingxu dislikes Rong Zhi again, he will come out like this.
