It was Yue Ting and Lu He who escorted Zhuang Ming here.
In fact, it's just a cover-up.
The real background is still the dragon.
As for Yue Ting and Lu He, although they are both Grandmasters, in this land where Grandmasters are born in large numbers, they cannot really be called invincible strong men.
——
"Your Majesty has an order to invite Mr. Zhuang Ming of Zhuang's Trading Company today. No other people are allowed to enter."
"Who are the idle people?" Yue Ting heard this and immediately said angrily: "I am a jade-faced white light swordsman who has traveled all over the world and is famous all over the world! You see that I have hurt my face, don't you recognize my jade-faced white light swordsman?
?I came to protect my young master, and you asked me to wait outside? What if something happens to my young master?"
"In Jiangdi, the laws are strict." The guard looked coldly and said, "Don't you trust the government of the Great Chu Dynasty?"
"What a big hat!"
Yue Ting sneered at this and was about to speak when he saw the young master raise his hand.
"You and Lu He, wait outside."
"Yes, young master." Lu He responded, and then touched Yue Ting.
——
In the courtyard.
Only three people were seen.
Zheng Yuanshan has gray hair and a haggard look.
The deputy commander of Jiangdi hangs on his waist, and the deputy commander has a bad look on his face.
There is also a middle-aged man, dressed luxuriously, with a high-spirited manner, and his eyebrows are full of pride. He wears a jade finger ring in his hand and a white jade belt around his waist. Compared with Yue Ting, he is particularly eye-catching.
"Isn't Master Zhengling here?"
Zhuang Ming slowly moved forward and chuckled.
The deputy order said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency has something important to do and will be here in a moment. I will take my place temporarily as a witness... Do you think that I am not worthy enough?"
Zhuang Ming cupped his hands and said: "I don't dare. The position of deputy commander in this place also requires the imperial court to appoint an official who is approved by the Emperor of Chu personally before being allowed to issue orders. How can there be insufficient weight?"
Only then did the Lord's expression soften.
"Where does all this nonsense come from?"
But at this moment, the middle-aged man was heard waving his hands impatiently: "Boy, you are Zhuang Ming who caused the trouble? You are the one who caused the trouble in Yao, Gu and He? Are you ready to seize it?"
Is it your instruction to join my brother's business?"
Zhuang Ming chuckled softly and said: "This is strange. This is my trading company, how can you seize it? Zheng Yuanshan is my slave, and he dares to betray me. If he does not respect the laws of Dachu, I will kill him with my own hands.
!”
Zheng Yuanshan trembled, Yuan Tao's tragic situation flashed in his mind!
"What an arrogant tone!"
The man surnamed Zhou hummed: "You are young and frivolous, and you are arrogant! Today I tell you that my son is already the chief secretary of the eighth mansion. He is responsible for maintaining the safety of the mansion and not causing disturbances. You are nothing more than a mere merchant. I will cut off your presence immediately."
The hands of the three places are returned to my brother. I offer you a gift of apology and bow my head to apologize. That’s all... I can still save my life."
Zhuang Ming laughed and shook his head slightly.
He has met many people.
Some cities are so deep that their joy and anger are invisible.
Some are cunning and changeable. What they think in their hearts is actually the opposite... For example, Jiang Di Zhengling seems to be friendly to Zhuang Ming, but in fact he has already decided to destroy Fu Lao's trading company and give him away.
Zheng Yuanshan.
There are also people who have a wild temperament, completely undisguised and without any pretense.
There are also people who have a gentle temperament, hold high positions, and stick to their true intentions.
Of course, there are also people who, relying on a little advantage, act wantonly and are arrogant.
For example, the person in front of me looks like a fox pretending to be a tiger.
An ordinary businessman, or even a close relative of Fu Lao, would really not dare to offend this person.
Because this person's only son is the chief registrar of a mansion, he really can't be offended.
It's a pity that Zhuang Ming is not an ordinary businessman.
"What if I don't agree?"
"What did you say?"
The man named Zhou was stunned.
The order was also quite surprising.
And Zheng Yuanshan's heart also sank. He was familiar with Zhuang Ming, so he also knew that the name of the palace master could not suppress Zhuang Ming.
But the three of them were very surprised and stunned. What on earth did this young man have to rely on? He was not even afraid of the chief secretary of the palace?
The man surnamed Zhou and the deputy commander of Jiangdi looked at each other and thought that this young man came from overseas and did not know the name of the governor or the authority of the chief register.
But Zheng Yuanshan knew that if Zhuang Ming didn't know the authority of the Registrar of a Mansion, he would only give in and delay temporarily to find out the authority of the Registrar and discuss it later, instead of making an immediate decision.
At this moment, Zhuang Ming bluntly refused, which also meant that he, Zhuang Ming, was not afraid of the chief secretary of the palace.
But Fu Laogui's legacy is nothing more than business in three places. Why is Zhuang Ming not afraid of a high-ranking official like the chief secretary of the First Palace?
He knew that Zhuang Ming was scheming and good at planning, but all conspiracies must be based on enough clues, enough background, enough reliance, and enough evidence to integrate them. They even need to borrow external forces, such as law and order.
Wait, and form a situation.
It is said that a good woman cannot make a meal without rice. With Fu Laogui's background, no matter how he lays out the plan, he is only the power of private merchants. What qualifications do he have to compete with the chief secretary of a government?
"you……"
Zheng Yuanshan felt his mouth was dry and his tongue was dry.
Zhuang Ming took a step forward and said calmly: "How?"
Zheng Yuanshan's heart sank and he whispered: "If I don't stand on my own feet..."
He had already softened in his heart.
Young Master is still unfathomable.
What was previously unfathomable was his city and his plans, but now there is an added layer of secrets and strength hidden deep in the dark.
"late."
Zhuang Ming said softly: "These days, Yue Ting is in a worrying situation, and people under his command have died, and you stand by and watch, adding insult to injury... Now that I have let you go, how can I still set the rules of the business?"
Zheng Yuanshan took half a step back, his face pale.
He was so greedy for profit that he ruined half his life's loyalty.
Can using force now really turn things around?
He didn't know, but it was the only way.
So he looked at the man named Zhou.
The man surnamed Zhou had also reacted and said angrily: "Boy, you are so arrogant! If you don't agree to negotiate peace today, you will die here!"
He waved his hand and shouted: "Do it!"
People suddenly appeared from everywhere in the courtyard. There were twelve people in total, and six of them were actually at the third level of martial arts master level.
The official in charge of Jiangdi's deputy command took a step back, with a smile on his lips.
"Master Deputy Commander, someone wants to kill Mr. Zhuang. You are in charge of a deputy commander. As the parent officer of this place, do you want to allow the murder to happen in front of your eyes?"
"Today you assassinated a relative of the head of the first palace and was killed on the spot by the Zhou family's guards. I saw it with my own eyes." The deputy commander said with a smile: "You can go with peace of mind. Fu Laogui and the others will be with you soon.
."
"I see."
Zhuang Ming nodded.
Everyone gathered around.
At this moment, Yue Ting and Lu He, the two great masters under his command, have been blocked from the door.
He is the only one here.
His white clothes are flying, his face is pale, and there are no traces of martial arts practice on his body. He is like a scholar with no strength to tie a chicken.
"Just kill him."
The man named Zhou waved his hand lightly.
Immediately, the sword flashed and the sword struck suddenly!
And then the next moment.
There was a muffled sound!
With just one sound, all the warriors who came forward to kill him groaned, fell back, and lay down on their backs.
In an instant, his orifices were bleeding, his chest collapsed, and he was already dead.
"What?"
Everyone present was frightened.
The deputy commander was greatly shocked and quickly lowered his head, only to see the imperial decree on his waist flashing.
At this moment, the man named Zhou panicked and shouted: "Quickly... kill him..."
The six great masters who had just asked the ordinary warriors to take action, but who felt that killing a chicken without a knives, also changed their expressions at this moment. They no longer had the slightest bit of self-confidence as martial arts experts, and they all joined forces to attack.
This young man took action just now, but even the martial arts masters like them couldn't see clearly.
Unfathomable strength!
The six masters did not dare to be careless and joined forces to attack!
The sword slashed with fierce wind, majestic and murderous intent!
In a daze, it seemed as if the entire courtyard was covered by thousands of troops.
The blazing blood is like an oven.
The murderous intention of Senhan is like the frost and snow on a cold night.
"Seeking death."
Zhuang Ming looked calm and put his hands behind his back.
And right next to him, a burst of brilliance burst out.
The sword stopped and the attack suddenly stopped.
The bodies of the six great masters were all stiff.
Immediately he spurted out blood and lay down on his back.
——
In an instant, the scene was dead silent.
The breeze blows and the fallen leaves are flying.
It actually feels like a bleak feeling in late autumn.
The man surnamed Zhou's expression suddenly changed and he drew his sword out of its sheath. However, the hand holding the sword was already trembling.
The deputy commander took a few steps back in shock. On his waist, the piece of deputy commander Jiang Di shone with light, faintly trembling. It first bloomed and then gradually dimmed.
Zheng Yuanshan, on the other hand, was trembling all over, his eyes filled with disbelief as he looked at the extremely familiar yet unfamiliar figure in front of him.
In his mind, he was a weak and weak young man with no strength to restrain himself.
Even though he is extremely resourceful, his own safety depends entirely on his protection.
How come today, even martial arts masters are like ants?
Is this one of the reasons why he became tough and fierce?
Because he already possesses powerful force and is no longer a weak person who can only rely on human protection and can only sit in a wheelchair.
"Zhuang Ming...you..."
Zheng Yuanshan opened his mouth and said solemnly: "Young Master?"
Zhuang Ming looked cold and said: "I heard that you went to Yao, Gu, and He last night and sent twenty-seven letters in a row. You stabilized Fu Lao's offensive and stabilized the business in the three places. That's almost it...
"
Zheng Yuanshan's heart trembled.
But at this moment.
Zhuang Ming waved his hand.
I saw a long whip-like tail flashing past.
That piece of deputy order shone brightly in an instant.
The man surnamed Zhou exclaimed, feeling that the whip whipped up a strong wind. He couldn't hold the sword, couldn't stand steady, and couldn't help but fall back.
And just as he fell back, the sword blade passed by.
It was across Zheng Yuanshan's throat.
Blood immediately sputtered out.
"If you don't send these twenty-seven letters, I will let you go back to stabilize the business in the three places. Since you have stabilized the situation with the letters, there is no use keeping you alive."
Zhuang Ming put his hands behind his back, and said with a slightly complicated look in his eyes: "You are also one of my confidants, and you have made great contributions, but it is a pity..."
Zheng Yuanshan clutched his throat, his eyes gradually became blurred, and he lay down.
Why did it happen in the first place if it had been like this earlier?
It took several years of ups and downs, open swords and hidden arrows, and experienced ups and downs before we laid the foundation overseas.
In the end, all greed and ambition came to nothing.
Zhuang Ming's eyes moved to the other two people.
"Zhuang Ming! Do you dare to kill someone in front of me?"
The deputy commander's face was cold. He took off the token from his waist and gritted his teeth.
Zhuang Ming just smiled slightly.
The deputy commander's heart trembled.
Booming sound!
The sound of chaotic footsteps rushed in all at once.
Dozens of men, armed with long knives, broke into the courtyard.
"Sir...what can I do?"
"Just in time."
The deputy commander suddenly showed a look of great joy and shouted: "Give me one..."
The sound stopped suddenly.
His expression suddenly froze.
Zhuang Ming waved his hand lightly.
The token in the hands of the deputy commander suddenly burst into light.
And the man surnamed Zhou, who was about to fall to the ground, flew up involuntarily and stabbed the deputy commander with his sword!
"Quickly...protect your lord..."
Zhuang Ming took a few steps back, looked solemn, and shouted: "He wants to assassinate the deputy commander!"
Puff!
The man surnamed Zhou stabbed Master Ling completely with his sword!
But the token in Lord Ling's hand also hit the man named Zhou in the face!
