When Zeng Zhizhou saw that the people were timid, his face became distorted with anger: "A bunch of trash! A bunch of trash!"
"Han Yi!" He yelled towards the yard, "Hurry up and come out!"
Following Zeng Zhizhou's words, several ordinary-looking men rose into the air from behind the wall and landed beside Zeng Zhizhou.
There were ten more people around him, and Zeng Zhizhou immediately gained confidence, and looked at the masked man in front of him sullenly: "Say! Who sent you here!"
When he asked sharply, he kept thinking in his head, what did he do to offend people in the past few days, so that he even sent out the killers!
When Zeng Zhizhou questioned, he was already prepared for the killer to remain silent, but the masked man in front of him spoke up: "I am a member of the Pei family, and I will accompany you to protect the county lord."
"You first sent people to search around the county lord's bedroom, and then you wanted to enter the county lord's bedroom by yourself. The county lord is honorable, and your actions are undoubtedly humiliating the county lord!" The masked man said coldly, "You If you do it, it is clearly not to take the Pei family and the royal family into consideration!"
Hearing this, Zeng Zhizhou was stunned.
He parted his lips and let out a guilty sneer: "You say you are from the Pei family, what evidence do you have?"
Before the man could speak, he said again: "We Cangzhou is adjacent to Guanzhou, and the city has infiltrated spies from the rebel army. As the magistrate of Cangzhou, I naturally want to consider the people of the city. This spies sneaked into my house." , I can't just sit idly by, even if it's the bedroom of the county lord, for the safety of the people in the city, I have to search it myself."
Speaking of this, he changed his face, and stared at the masked man coldly: "On the contrary, you, who don't see people with their true colors in the open sky, I'm afraid you are the rebel spy I want to search for!"
"Come on! Hurry up and take him down!"
Zeng Zhizhou knew that this man was probably, as he said, someone secretly sent by the Pei family to protect Gu Ning, and his previous actions were all seen by this man, even though the excuse he made up temporarily was not valid. So, there is no guarantee that the Pei family will not continue to pursue the matter after they know about it. In order to ensure nothing goes wrong, it is better to have a killer and completely eradicate this person to prevent future troubles!
A murderous intent flashed across his eyes, and after waving his hand, the ten hidden guards around him were trained to attack the masked man.
However, what Zeng Zhizhou didn't expect was that the masked man easily dodged the moves of his ten hidden guards with a light leap.
"Could it be that Zeng Zhizhou wanted to kill someone to silence him?" the masked man sneered.
Hearing this, Zeng Zhizhou put on a cold face, and said grandly: "If you are willing to arrest without a fight, I will spare your life. After the county lord comes back, if the county lord says you are from the Pei family, I will let you go You! But if you continue to pester me, don't blame my subordinates for being merciless!"
The ten people under him are all carefully cultivated, and it is more than enough to take down one person.
Unexpectedly, just after this thought came to his mind, several people dressed like him appeared on the roof behind the masked man.
Suddenly, Zeng Zhizhou felt a chill from the bottom of his heart.
But this is the end of the matter, he has to do it!
He tried his best to resist the urge to stop.
However, in the eyes of Zeng Zhizhou, these ten top masters have been carefully cultivated, but they didn't even go through the masked man's move.
What Zeng Zhizhou expected didn't happen. On the contrary, the knife in the masked man's hand was already on his neck.
"Wait!" Zeng Zhizhou yelled, "I believe you are from the Pei family!"
The masked man laughed mockingly: "Master Zeng said this now, don't you think it's too late?"
Zeng Zhizhou felt the cold touch on his neck, and at this moment the masked man stuck the knife to his flesh again, Zeng Zhizhou felt his whole body go numb.
He swallowed, and said cautiously: "If someone comes and says he is the secret guard of the county lord, I will believe it. Wouldn't the spies who sneaked into the city use this kind of excuse? For the safety of the people in the city, I can only do it." Be alert."
As Zeng Zhizhou said, he smiled at the man and apologized, "I ask the strong man to forgive me."
At this moment, in front of the masked man, he no longer had the stance he had just now. Between life and face, he chose the former without hesitation.
Hearing this, the man couldn't deny it with a smile: "Master Zeng can speak, but you keep saying that it is for the safety of the people in the city. I don't know how true or false this sentence is?"
Zeng Zhizhou was so frightened that his hands and feet were trembling, he replied without hesitation: "Of course it is very true!"
The man stopped talking, but moved the knife in his hand away a little bit. Zeng Zhizhou noticed the change in his attitude, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. At this moment, Zeng Zhizhou's mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about what he should do, Only then can the person in front of him be deceived.
"Strong man, why don't you wait in the front hall first, drink a cup of tea, and wait for the county lord to come back. As long as the county lord confirms your identity, I will definitely make an apology to you!" Zeng Zhizhou is well versed in the way of making amends.
The man's face was covered by a black cloth, revealing only a pair of sharp phoenix eyes.
When Zeng Zhizhou was frightened, he nodded slowly: "Okay."
Zeng Zhizhou has been an official for so many years, and it has become the norm to bow down to those who are higher in official position and more powerful than him, but it is the first time that he is so flattering to such a small hidden guard. Secretly suppressed these anger in the bottom of my heart.
At this time, Bi Hua had already reached the gate.
She had already heard the news from the porter that Zeng Zhizhou was going to Gu Ning's yard, and she was about to go to Gu Ning's yard in a hurry, but a few children outside the door were talking excitedly.
"General Pei is outside the city! Let's go and have a look!"
The talking child looked excited and yearning, and chattered with his partner who was about to buy candied haws: "Candied haws are sold every day, but the demeanor of General Pei is not seen every day! He is the God of War! "
The old man selling candied haws had gray hair and walked tremblingly. Hearing what the child said, he hurriedly put down the candied haws in his hand: "Is General Pei really coming to our Cangzhou?"
"We're about to enter the city! The gates of the city are full of people! They're all here to see General Pei's demeanor!"
The child spoke clearly, and the old man hurriedly walked towards the city gate with candied haws on his shoulders.
Seeing this, the child hurriedly dragged his partner and walked out together.
Many people also heard the news, and their actions were very unified, with only one goal - to meet General Pei.
Bihua's heart sank, and she almost ran towards Gu Ning's yard as if flying.
Seeing those masked men, she leaned against the wall, feeling terrified—it was late!
Zeng Zhizhou had a very good attitude towards several masked men, especially the tallest and tallest man in the head. He even poured a cup of tea for them himself.
"My lord, you are welcome." The man said slowly, "If you count the time, our general will soon arrive in Cangzhou."
Hearing this, Zeng Zhizhou's smiling face became stiff again.
With sharp eyes, he saw Bihua.
"Bihua, why are you here?" Zeng Zhizhou urgently needed someone to divert the attention of these hidden guards of the Pei family. Bihua's arrival gave him an inspiration, "But what happened to the county lord?"
Sure enough, the eyes of the leading masked man became sharper.
Bi Hua clenched her hands tightly, and slowly shook her head: "Madam asked the servant to come back, reminding you that the weather is getting colder, and asked you to add an extra dress, and asked the servant to give Madam Mo..."
"It's all trivial things, don't need to talk about it!" Zeng Zhizhou waved his hands impatiently, "Besides that, what else did Madam explain?"
Seeing the big cold sweat on Zeng Zhizhou's forehead, Bi Hua blurted out the words in his heart without thinking: "General Pei has arrived at the gate of the city, you should hurry up and get ready and go out of the city to meet General Pei!"
Bihua intended to remind Zeng Zhizhou, but when she saw Zeng Zhizhou's panicked face, she knew that she might be self-defeating, but when she saw Zeng Zhizhou like this, she couldn't hold back the disgust in her heart.
If Madam faced these things, she would never show such an appearance!
At this time, the man stood up, and his voice was very low: "Since the general has arrived, Zeng Zhizhou might as well leave the city now, and tell the general that today you are here to search the rebel spies in the county lord's courtyard!"
Hearing this, Zeng Zhizhou showed a weak smile.
Thinking of those rumors about Pei Anlin, he only felt that his death was approaching. Under the shock and panic, he closed his eyes and passed out directly.
Seeing the servants of Zeng Zhai panic, a masked man with a relatively strong build stepped forward and said in a low voice: "My lord, Zeng Zhizhou is really scary!"
Xie Yan glanced at him, implying a warning.
He scratched his head and smiled coquettishly: "The subordinate forgot to change his words for a while."
"Next time, go and receive the punishment yourself." Xie Yan said coldly, "Yue Ming, manage him well."
Yue Ming, who had been silent all this time, stepped forward, dragged Yue Rong behind him, and warned: "Don't talk! If you show your feet, you are the only one to ask!"
……
The people in Cangzhou City waited in panic until Pei Anlin led his troops to arrive, and the whole city cheered.
Those rich households who have wealth have fled long ago, lest they send troops to take Cangzhou after the Shu rebels recuperate in Guanzhou. Now there are still 6 people staying in Cangzhou, and there are [-] to [-] in Guangcheng , They spent a month in fear, and finally waited for the army sent by the court, and Pei Anlin, who was known as the God of War, how could this not be exciting?
The common people lined the road to welcome people, the inner three floors and the outer three floors were full of people, and the restaurants and teahouses near the street into the city were already crowded with people, and they all wanted to see the demeanor of the God of War.
Even Mrs. Zeng in the south of the city heard such a big battle.
When she found out that Pei Anlin had arrived in Cangzhou with an army of [-], she was overjoyed at first, and then there were countless worries——Bi Hua, who had sent the letter, hadn't come back. Wei was caught, so how should he explain it to Pei Anlin?
Even though she was far away in Cangzhou, she had heard of the Pei family's reputation for protecting the calf many times. She knew that since Pei Anlin's death, what the Pei family cherished the most was the Changning county lord by her side!
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but clenched her hands tightly.
Unlike her ups and downs, Gu Ning's eyes widened in surprise: "Uncle is here so soon!"
She took out a stack of banknotes from her bosom and stuffed them into Mrs. Zeng's hand: "I don't know how much silver this house is worth, it's 10 taels, if it's not enough, I'll add some more for you, if it's too much , just look at adding some furniture to me."
Mrs. Zeng held this thick stack of bank notes in her hands, and Madam Zeng felt sour again.
How could such a house cost 10 taels, even if it is not in a place like the capital where every inch of land is expensive? 5 taels is enough, and the remaining 5 taels are used to add furniture... It is really a luxury.
She wanted to say something, but Gu Ning's appearance of not taking the 10 taels of silver bill seriously made her swallow those words.
The most important thing now is not this house, but Zeng Zhizhou!
She scolded Zeng Zhizhou several times in her heart, you idiot! She didn't ask clearly before doing things!That's good!Their whole family will be implicated!
"Han Yi!" He yelled towards the yard, "Hurry up and come out!"
Following Zeng Zhizhou's words, several ordinary-looking men rose into the air from behind the wall and landed beside Zeng Zhizhou.
There were ten more people around him, and Zeng Zhizhou immediately gained confidence, and looked at the masked man in front of him sullenly: "Say! Who sent you here!"
