Chapter 40 A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall
Fengcheng.
Zhao Mansion.
There is a carriage coming slowly, the horses are quite miraculous, all brown, and the carriage at the back, the decoration seems simple, but it is not exquisite.
The man riding the horse, with a wooden face and a cold expression, although he only sat there, he could not see the height and geometry, but the upper half of the body also looked burly and strong.
"Is it Mr. Thirteen?" the guard in front of the door hurriedly greeted him.
"Exactly. Qianyang's voice was dull.
"Your Excellency has been waiting for a long time. ”
The guard was busy leading the way.
Qianyang got out of the car, but Yin Ming also came down with a wheelchair.
Immediately, I saw Zhuang Ming, slowly got out of the carriage, and got into a wheelchair.
The subordinates of the Zhao Mansion took the carriage away.
And Qianyang followed aside, and Yin Ming pushed Zhuang Ming's wheelchair and went inside.
——
Only after passing the wall, between the corridors, I saw a person.
This is an old man with a solemn expression, and he is Lord Zhao.
"Zhuang Ming. ”
"Hello Lord Zhao. ”
"You tell me the truth...... Lord Zhao approached, lowered his voice, gritted his teeth, and said, "Did you do it?"
"What does Lord Zhao mean by this?" Zhuang Ming said with a smile.
"The old man understood. ”
Lord Zhao closed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and calmed down his floating mind, he saw that Zhuang Ming did not deny it, nor did he show a surprised and inquiring look, and he already knew in his heart that this matter must be inseparable from Zhuang Ming.
"You're so daring!"
"Hehe, Zhuang has always been cautious, but when he has to, he will always be bolder, we have known each other for more than five years, you should always be clear. ”
"These soldiers and craftsmen, although they are King Chen's people, are all in the name of the government, you are openly provoking the government!" Lord Zhao gritted his teeth in a low voice and said: "Zhuang Ming, you are determined to openly confront the prince, but don't forget, you are just a businessman, if you are in the people, you can still have some power, but what qualifications do you have to compete with this meritorious and high-ranking prince?"
"What Lord Zhao said, Zhuang doesn't understand much, what does it mean to provoke the government and provoke the prince?" Zhuang Ming chuckled lightly and said: "Although I don't understand much, but many things, the truth is the same, although some people usually have a peaceful style of acting, if they are forced to hurry, they may not be able to use brute force and take the next step." ”
"The old man can't control this matter, and he doesn't dare to take care of it. Lord Zhao sighed lightly and said, "If you have clean hands and feet, you still dare to leave clues, and even take the initiative to report the case, so that he can connect you with this matter, it is like digging your own grave...... Do you know that the matter has come to this point, and the old man can do nothing about it. ”
"Don't bother Lord Zhao today. Zhuang Ming chuckled and said, "What's more, Lord Zhao invited me here, presumably not just to say these words. ”
"It's not the old man who invited you today. Lord Zhao said: "It was the prince who invited you to come over in the name of the old man, and I guess I can't hide it from you about this." ”
"Where is the prince?" Zhuang Ming asked.
"Backyard. Lord Zhao said, "You are so self-sufficient." ”
"Lord Zhao, rest assured, after today, it will be stable for a while. Zhuang Ming paused, and then said: "I'm not flustered, and you don't have to panic, just press still...... Even if Zhuang's firm is going to collapse, it will not tear you off, and you don't want to mess with yourself and knock me into the abyss. ”
"I hope so. Lord Zhao said this, paused again, and said, "The old man knows what you mean, you can rest assured about this...... Although it was the prince who held a banquet in the name of the old man twice, the old man has never really surrendered to him, and he also can't trust the old man, the old man, you don't have to worry about many things. ”
"Thank you, Lord Zhao. ”
"Grasshoppers on a rope, what are you talking about?" Lord Zhao smiled bitterly and said: "In the past two days, there have always been some illusions that the ship is about to sink and the old man is about to drown. ”
"My Zhuang Ming's ship is sinking to the bottom, and the top section is still exposed on the water. Zhuang Ming smiled indifferently: "After today, the big things will be stable, and you can breathe a sigh of relief." ”
"You're optimistic. Lord Zhao sighed: "The prince came on order, and you actually used force to forcibly destroy his big affairs, he hated you to the core, and the old man was afraid that you would not be able to get out of here today." ”
"I'll see. ”
Zhuang Ming smiled slightly, and then bowed his hand and said, "You are ready to give an order to unseal the shops and warehouses of my Zhuang Clan's firm in Fengcheng." ”
——
Backyard.
Yin Ming pushed Zhuang Ming and walked slowly.
There are housekeepers leading the way, and maids walking.
It seemed quite quiet, everything was as usual, and it didn't seem to be the same as Zhuang Ming usually came here.
But he still felt a hint of murder.
Zhuang Ming chuckled, reached into his sleeve, and gently stroked the top of the young dragon's head.
With the sense of the young dragon, he sensed many breaths around him.
These breaths are not the family members and maids seen in front of them, but the guards who are hidden and hiding everywhere, and their qi and blood are quite strong.
There are about 100 people!
"When King Chen came to Huai'an, there were not many guards around him, most of them were ambushed by me today, but there are hundreds of guards here, and they have long blood and blood, and they are also the elite of the army. ”
Zhuang Ming said secretly: "His foundation is mostly in the north of the Dongsheng Dynasty, and he is also quite confident in the capital, but in Huai'an, he wants to mobilize elite troops in the short term, presumably to mobilize the Zhennan army." ”
Someone ahead leads the way.
Qianyang walked ahead.
Yin Ming pushed the wheelchair.
When they arrived at the front, in front of the courtyard, there were guards on both sides, with solemn expressions, and stretched out their hands to block them.
"The prince only invited Mr. Thirteen of Zhuang's Commercial Bank, and idle people were not allowed to enter. ”
"Miscellaneous people waiting for ......"
Zhuang Ming chuckled and looked deeply at the guard.
Dare to regard the two martial arts grandmaster-level powerhouses as idlers, etc., the courage of these two is really not small.
However, these two guards are also impressively strong, and their martial arts can be regarded as entering the room.
The guard looked as usual, neither humble nor arrogant, and said: "The prince only invited Mr. alone, and the entourage is not allowed to enter." ”
Zhuang Ming said indifferently: "Zhuang's legs are inconvenient, someone should always push me in." ”
The guard nodded and said, "I have my own villain to do it for me." ”
Zhuang Ming raised his hand slightly, and said: "Qianyang, Yin Ming, the two of you are too capable, and the prince is not very bold, I am afraid that you will assassinate him, so I can only wronged you two martial arts powerhouses and waited outside." ”
The guards on both sides were all showing different colors and were slightly annoyed.
Zhuang Ming chuckled, patted his legs, and said, "Let's go." ”
In the past, if Qianyang and Yin Ming were blocked, he would never go in alone.
The so-called gentleman does not stand under the wall!
Even if he was absolutely sure, he would not put himself in danger.
His original intention of founding Zhuang's firm was just for him to raise young dragons.
If you are in danger because of this, and you die, so that the young dragon dies, it is the cart before the horse.
But this time it's different.
Baby dragons already possess great strength.
Even in front of a martial arts master, it is enough to protect personal safety.
No matter what the situation is, it is at least enough to support Qianyang and Yin Ming outside the hospital to help.
Separated by a wall, two guards, for Qianyang and Yin Ming, it was only between three or five breaths.
——
Inside the hospital.
Pavilion room.
One of the people was looking at the pond, and with the movement of the wheelchair, he slowly turned his head and looked here.
Middle-aged face, high-crowned python robe, cold expression, he stands tall, with his hands behind his back, there is a kind of majesty in a high position, in charge of the general trend, spontaneously.
And around him, there were sixteen elite guards.
After all, Qianyang and Yin Ming have a prominent reputation.
Especially after this time, King Chen concluded that Zhuang Ming had mobilized two martial arts masters, otherwise, with the Zhuang Clan's trading house, there was absolutely no such power to destroy all his arrangements in Huai'an and kill all the elite soldiers under his command in Huai'an.
Therefore, this time, for the threat posed by these two martial arts masters, King Chen paid more attention than before.
"Zhuang Ming, you are so bold!"
King Chen gritted his teeth tightly, unabashedly murderous intentions, and said in a cold voice: "Dongsheng Dynasty, the land of law and order, you dare to ambush and kill the people of the government, poison the horses in the army, loot the things of the government, and burn down the places of the government, how can you know the crime?"
Zhuang Ming said indifferently: "According to the law of the Dongsheng Dynasty, these four crimes are all capital crimes, which are tantamount to rebellion, and only one of them can be sentenced to Ling Chi and the nine clans destroyed." ”
King Chen took a step forward and said sharply: "Since this is the case......"
Zhuang Ming didn't wait for him to finish speaking, then opened his mouth to cut it off, and said: "Lord, the Dongsheng Dynasty pays attention to the law, and everything is convicted, and all the evidence and material evidence must be present...... Are you trying to frame a false accusation out of thin air and wronged Zhuang?"
King Chen suddenly flicked his sleeves and shouted, "You dare to say that this king has wronged you?"
Zhuang Ming smiled and said: "Could it be that the prince has caught any criminal evidence? Is it human evidence or physical evidence? You have to be aware of it, maybe someone is planting the blame, and maybe it is not clear." ”
King Chen clenched his fists.
It's not bad to set up a blame.
But it was he who planted the blame to the Huaibei bandits who had been annihilated.
Is this sentence also a provocation?
With a haze in his eyes, King Chen glanced outside the courtyard, Fang continued to move forward, came to Zhuang Ming, looked down, forcibly endured the idea of killing this young man with a punch, and said coldly: "Do you think that after the matter is over, you can do whatever you want without leaving evidence? Over the years, you have been used to being powerful and blessed in the Sixteen Mansions of Huai'an, do you really think that the current Huai'an is still the same as before? Now this king is the biggest king in Huai'an, not the group of bastards who were bribed by you!"
Zhuang Ming smiled and said, "So, does the prince want to collect evidence and kill me?"
Chen Wang said sharply: "Why do you need evidence? As long as you continue to seal up your Zhuang firm, you will lose money every day, and you won't be able to last long, as for you...... What's it?"
Zhuang Ming said softly: "No one knows when the Zhuang family business will collapse, but before that, I believe that the prince can't do anything in Huai'an." ”
He patted his legs, chuckled and said: "As the saying goes, a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, since the prince is a dragon crossing the river, he wants to press the head snake, then let the head snake stretch his muscles and bones, and see if the dragon can stand it." ”
King Chen said slowly: "Do you really think that this king can only spend it with you?"
Zhuang Ming raised his eyebrows, as if smiling.
——
"Since you can find out the true intentions of this king in the Sixteen Mansions of Huai'an, you should know that what this king does is a holy order!"
"It's not the king's business that you're bad, it's the emperor's big thing!"
"If this king really wants to kill you, he doesn't need any human and material evidence at all!"
"It's those old ghosts in the court who are really making waves, referring to the king's book, saying that the king has a careless act of disregarding people's lives without evidence, and the emperor will punish a few words at most!"
"What's more...... But the evidence is there. ”
Chen Wang Senran said: "Your Zhuang firm was sent to the official mansion, and a few stewards who fell into the hands of this king are human witnesses! As for the physical evidence, it is not for nothing that this king's command can be faked! You have no background in the court, this king really destroyed you, and you were convicted by falsifying evidence, no one will stand up for you, and after you die, no one will overturn the case for you!"
Zhuang Ming nodded and said: "Regarding this, Zhuang is also clear, after all, the prince is like the sky, and he has the highest power in the Sixteen Mansions of Huai'an, but in fact, he is also covering the sky with one hand." ”
The corners of King Chen's mouth hooked up with a touch of mockery, and said: "So, you know that this is the case, and you still dare to seek death?
Zhuang Ming exhaled and said softly: "Because I conclude that as long as you see these things of mine, you will not have the courage to do anything to me." ”
After finishing speaking, I saw Zhuang Ming reach into his arms and take out three pieces of paper, which were full of words.
He handed it over.
Chen Wang took it.
Then his complexion changed dramatically.
