Following Chu Yi's order, more than a dozen soldiers immediately carried a crossbar and slammed into the fine iron gate.
Boom, boom, the strong door was suddenly hit with dents and was on the verge of collapse.
The next moment, the gate collapsed and a cloud of dust was thrown up. The head of the Zhou family and others looked at Chu Yi who was standing outside the gate with expressionless faces.
The moment they saw Chu Yi, everyone's eyes were full of hatred. It was these eunuchs who had to stare at them and collect taxes. Is it easy for them to make some money?
Especially for Chu Yi, their heirs were kidnapped in Zhulin Book Club. According to the information they found out, Chu Yi had no intention of letting them go.
Coupled with hints from some powerful figures, for various reasons, several families, mainly the Zhou family, planned an ambush against Chu Yi.
Chu Yi's eyes fell on Zhou Anmin and others. Just by looking at each other, Chu Yi felt the determination of Zhou Anmin and others.
Takeda Nobuyuki was next to Zhou Anmin and others, and his outfit could not be more eye-catching. Seeing Takeda Nobuyuki, Chu Yi suddenly felt murderous intent in his heart. As expected, these maritime merchants really have no bottom line in their actions. For the sake of profit, anyone can cooperate.
Even if it's an enemy.
A few decades later, the Japanese pirates that rampaged across the southeastern coast and became one of the border dangers of the Ming Dynasty were not led by these merchants and pirates?
Japanese pirates were rampant in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that nine out of ten Japanese pirates who freely come and go from prefectures and counties are not real Japanese pirates, but these merchants of the Ming Dynasty. Pirates colluded with real Japanese pirates under the banner of Japanese pirates.
Rotten coastal borders.
The ones who have no bottom line in the future are the eight Shanxi merchants who are known as the imperial merchants. As descendants of the Han Dynasty, during the national war, they only care about their family's selfishness and seek small profits while forgetting the righteousness.
this.
He glanced at everyone in the courtyard indifferently, waved his hand, and heard Chu Yi say: "Take down all these rebels who collude with foreign tribes and have no family and country to assassinate the imperial officials. If there are any resisters, kill them on the spot!
"
A group of soldiers raised their shields and guns and rushed toward the gate of the mansion. Unexpectedly, Chu Yi ordered them to be arrested without even giving them a chance to say goodbye. Zhou Anmin showed his heroic attitude on the sea and shouted sharply:
"Shoot!" Suddenly the sound of bowstrings sounded, and a shower of arrows was seen shooting from all directions towards the gate. Even if they were on guard, some of the soldiers rushing in front were still hit by arrows and fell to the ground.
But with the shield in hand and the fierce charge of these soldiers, they rushed into the mansion in a blink of an eye, but what greeted them was a group of extremely ferocious dead soldiers.
These dead men are all brave warriors who escorted the fleets of several maritime merchants. No matter which one of them depends on the wealthy gentry of the Zhou family, it can be said that they are dependent on them. If the Zhou family is destroyed, they will definitely not
What a happy ending.
Therefore, these people are all willing to fight and die for the Zhou family. In addition to the dead men of the Zhou family, there are also several other people who have been urgently transferred, totaling hundreds of people.
Even though he had expected it, Chu Yi was still amazed when he saw that several companies were able to fight so many people to the death.
No wonder these gentry were so powerful in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, and even gradually began to cultivate spokesmen to enter the court. With their strong financial resources, even the Donglin Party that later emerged became their tools.
These brave and fearless warriors are just the tip of the iceberg of the huge power of these tycoons. The businessmen who were suppressed by Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang in the past are finally showing their fangs.
The tycoon group and the literati group, one of them saw small profits and sacrificed their righteousness, and the other acted with no bottom line and integrity. It is not an exaggeration to say that the great Ming Dynasty died at the hands of these people.
Otherwise, when Chongzhen hanged himself on Meishan Mountain, he would not have left his last words: "The king is not the king who has subjugated his country, but all his ministers are the ministers of the country's subjugation."
This was only the middle period of the Ming Dynasty. These powerful gentry had such power. Chu Yi couldn't help but be secretly frightened when he saw it. Fortunately, in this era he lived in, although these powerful gentry had risen, the might of the Ming Dynasty was still there, which could still shock people. If
Without this righteous title that people's hearts aspire to, he, the governor of the East Factory, might really fall into the deep pool in the south of the Yangtze River.
After all, an army sergeant is an army sergeant. It is difficult for these dead soldiers to make up for the gap with their bloody bravery alone. After the initial chaos passed, under the personal command of Shi Kui, the pace gradually stabilized, and the soldiers formed a military formation and slowly advanced.
Gradually suppressed all the dead soldiers.
Chu Yi walked slowly into the courtyard. Chu Fang found an imperial chair from somewhere. Chu Yi sat down on it. Chu Fang and Qi Hu lined up on the left and right.
The head of the Zhou family and others who were forced to be pushed into the second courtyard looked at the dead soldiers who were desperately resisting in the front yard. Each of the dead soldiers was struggling to death, and they saw that they were unable to save their lives, especially when Chu Yi was so leisurely in the front yard.
Sit down, you don't take them to heart at all.
Zhou Anmin clenched his fists subconsciously and looked at Takeda Nobuyuki on the side, took a deep breath and said: "Takeda-kun, the eunuch Chu Yi is here. If you can kill Chu Yi here, I will
I can guarantee that I will dedicate the most advanced shipbuilding technology mastered by my Zhou family to your lord!"
After hearing this, Takeda Nobuyuki glanced at Zhou Anmin and said, "I hope you can keep your promise!"
While speaking, Takeda Nobuyuki said respectfully: "Please also ask Hattori-kun to kill the governor of the East Factory!"
The next moment, in the unbelievable gazes of the Zhou family head and others, a figure suddenly appeared. This person was dressed in black clothes. Even his hands and hair were wrapped in black clothes, and only a pair of eyes were exposed.
Takeda Nobuyuki was in awe when he saw this man, and saluted him with great respect: "Hattori-kun, please do everything!"
A sharp look flashed in Hattori Kizo's eyes and the next moment he disappeared, which was extremely mysterious.
Seemingly noticing the horrified looks on Zhou Anmin's and others' faces, Takeda Nobuyuki was filled with pride. He glanced at Zhou Anmin and others with disdain, and then said: "Hattori-kun is one of the strongest men among my generals. He is proficient in ninjutsu and is good at it."
In the way of assassination, even if you are stronger than him, you will not be able to escape his assassination."
As he spoke, Takeda Nobuyuki looked towards Chu Yi who was sitting there in the vestibule with great confidence, and said with a bit of a sneer at the corner of his mouth: "It's just a eunuch, but he can be easily captured!"
Zhou Anmin and others had only heard Takeda Nobuyuki mention Hattori Kizo before, but they had never seen it with their own eyes. They did not understand the power of Hattori Kizo, especially when they learned that the other party turned out to be a mysterious ninja from Japan.
There is some hope.
As maritime merchants who have close ties with Japan, Zhou Anmin and others are very aware that Japan has a mysterious and powerful person who specializes in ninjutsu and is extremely difficult to deal with. However, they have only heard that today is really the first time.
see.
Zhou Anmin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I hope it will be as Takeda-kun said!"
Nobuyuki Takeda stroked his moustache and said: "You should prepare information on shipbuilding technology as early as possible!"
While he was talking, everyone looked towards the vestibule.
At this time, the vestibule was much sparse. The vestibule of Zhou's mansion was still quite spacious, but with hundreds of people from both sides pouring into the vestibule at once, it was conceivable that it must have seemed a bit crowded.
However, after a fierce battle, many people on both sides fell, especially the dead soldiers dispatched by several companies. By now, most of them were dead or injured.
Qi Hu, who was standing next to Chu Yi, looked at the swords and swords in front of him and couldn't help but licked his tongue and looked eager to try. Chu Yi said: "Qi Dutou, if you are interested, you might as well go out and stretch your hands and feet!"
Hearing this, Qi Hu shook his head and said, "I won't take the credit from these soldiers!"
To be precise, the field was just a group of ordinary people relying solely on their bravery. He was a great master, and he himself would be a little embarrassed if he had to deal with these people.
Suddenly, Chu Yi raised his brows, as if aware of something, then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said softly: "Interesting, can't you help it?"
Chu Fang and Qi Hu couldn't help but look at Chu Yi in confusion.
Chu Yi turned his hand, and a silver needle slipped out of his cuff. He flicked his finger, and in an instant, silver light suddenly appeared, and a sound of gold and iron clashing came from the void in front of him.
A man in black appeared out of thin air a few feet in front of Chu Yi. His exposed eyes were staring at Chu Yi, with a faint fighting spirit emerging.
As one of the most powerful Ninjutsu masters in Japan, Hattori Kizo's internal strength may only be comparable to that of a first-rate master, but combined with that weird Ninjutsu, his strength is even comparable to that of Nakahara's top masters.
.
As a strong man, Hattori Kizo still has good eyesight in distinguishing people. Chu Yi was able to detect his existence in advance and even forced him to show up with just a silver needle. This kind of strength and method are his whole life
All he saw was that after searching all over Japan, he couldn't think of anyone who could stabilize the person in front of him.
Looking at the other party with interest, Chu Yi tapped his finger on the armrest and said: "Japanese ninja?"
Hattori Kizo glanced at Chu Yi and said in a hoarse voice: "Japan, Kyushu Island, Hattori Kizo has seen you!"
Chu Yi nodded slightly and said: "It's not bad to be able to combine illusion and martial arts to such an extent, but it's a pity that it focuses on evil and does not follow the right path!"
Seeing Chu Yi commenting on ninjutsu like this, a murderous intent flashed in Hattori Kizo's eyes, and he disappeared again in a flash.
Chu Fang, who was standing next to Chu Yi, couldn't help but exclaimed: "What a weird ninja technique!"
On the contrary, Qi Hu, who was standing aside, now showed a high-spirited fighting spirit. With a clang, a sword light flashed past, and the sword in Qi Hu's hand was unsheathed and stabbed into the void in an instant.
With a clanking sound, a Japanese sword appeared, and Qi Hu's sword hit the blade. Qi Hu laughed loudly and said: "They are just clowns, a group of people who show off their tricks and dare not see others.
Just because you are not enough to make the governor take action, let Qi learn your so-called ninja skills!"
