She regretted letting go of the adoptive son of King Chujiang. When the senior brother decided to make trouble, he probably didn't think about his things? How low the minimum limit of allies would be.He can unite them, but cannot restrain them, which is a complete disaster for everyone.The most heart-wrenching thing was the phrase "I once believed in you". She understood the inhuman anger entrusted by those villagers. Perhaps, they thought that following the Yan Luo Gang, they could realize their ideal of "killing corrupt officials and killing unrighteous". When ideals are shattered, they are often the first to be let down.They did nothing, but became the victims of the gladiatorial struggle between the two sides.If anyone was responsible for this disaster, it wasn't them.

"Why did you come?" After pondering for a long time, Cen Zhu remembered to ask Ah Sheng and others the reason for their sudden arrival.

Ah Sheng replied hesitantly: "I was worried, so I sent someone to follow Miss Ah Zheng secretly. In fact, I wanted to protect Miss Ah Zheng. It turned out to be too late. When we reached the village, we only picked up Miss Ah Zheng. We captured a few villagers who were alone and forced them to reveal your whereabouts, so we rushed to the cemetery to rescue you without stopping."

Cen Zhu took the package, checked it, found that all the important things were still there, and asked, "Have you tracked down those Southwest soldiers?"

"We've tracked them down." Ah Sheng suddenly said with a serious face, "Not long after Miss Ah Zheng left, the brothers tracked down those people."

Cen Zhu covered his bruised mouth with a handkerchief, and was taken aback for a moment, "So fast?"

Ah Zheng nodded: "Yes, there are a lot of them, I guess there are at least 600 of them, and they didn't hurry at all. They set up camp by the Xiaomang River. My brothers and I didn't dare to act rashly, so we sent two brothers. Continue to follow in the dark, and hurry to inform Miss Ah Zheng. It happened that Miss Ah Zheng was in danger on the way, so I hurried over."

Cen Zhu wondered, "Five or six hundred people? Openly camped by the river? Aren't they afraid of being exposed?"

"I suspected it too, so I went over to check it out, and I was sure that the leader was the group that went up the mountain yesterday. The assassin was also inside. By the way, everyone around called the leader the son of the world."

"The son is right. The letter was written by Cheng Gongjiang to his son, which proves that Cheng Feng'an, Cheng Gongjiang's son, is among them. This further shows that this matter is no small matter for the Cheng family. The only way is to send the son to do it himself." They can be trusted. But why? Why, they dare to openly lead troops into the country and set up camp?"

Cen Zhu felt that something was wrong.However, since they dared to camp by the river, she didn't need to go to the plank road to set up an ambush.She remembered that Ah Sheng said that after crossing the Xiaomang River, he would enter a section of mountainous area, and there were places where he could ambush everywhere.Without further ado, everyone returned immediately.

Before dawn, Cen Zhu led the crowd to the place where the Southwest soldiers camped. Sure enough, judging from the number of tents, there were more than five hundred Southwest soldiers.She ordered Ah Sheng to go back immediately and call in at least a hundred people. As long as they are deployed properly, it will not be a problem to catch their leader.

However, it was getting dark soon, and Ah Sheng still didn't come.Cen Zhuo suspected that something was wrong.Seeing that the Cheng family soldiers were about to pass through the ambush area and enter the plain, it would be difficult to ambush them.She decided to take the risk.

"Pile up some rocks on the mountains on both sides of this canyon." After listening to the octopus, he doubted: "This canyon does not face west, and the southwestern soldiers will not go."

Cen Zhu said: "Who told them to leave? This is a way of escape for us. I will go to the team to catch Cheng Shizi later, and then retreat from this canyon. You will listen to my orders when the time comes, see? After turning around three times, push down the stones, the pursuers are afraid of an ambush, so they will not dare to act rashly. At that time, we will spread out and run, remember, don’t go to Xiongyaoling, go to Chuwang Mountain and Bianwang Mountain.”

"Good strategy," Octopus laughed, "direct the disaster to King Chujiang and King Biancheng. Let these two old thieves block the knives for us. It's just...there are so many soldiers in the Cheng family, and there are many masters among them, how can we catch them?" What about Cheng Shizi?"

"You don't need to worry about it." Cen Zhu seemed confident, she took out the pen and ink and a piece of letter paper from the package, wrote a letter on the stone, drew a lotus flower at the end, dried it over the fire, and then He put it in his pocket and led the two brothers down the mountain.

Under the dark blue sky, Octopus watched Cen Zhu's shadow appear at the mountain pass, and felt a little sweat for them.What happened next took him by surprise.

Cen Zhuo first greeted the team, and then, for some reason, led his two subordinates to flee in panic.Afterwards, the Cheng family soldiers surrounded the three of them, and escorted Cen Zhu all the way to the Cheng family's heir's mount.Later, a subordinate found something in her arms. Octopus thought it must be the letter she wrote before.

Later, when it was getting dark, the octopus's sight was blocked, and he could only vaguely see Cen Zhuo and others were detained in the team and went out of the valley together.The rest of the brothers lost their minds, "Third boss? Miss Ah Zheng has been arrested, what should I do?"

Octopus was also a little nervous, but he kept in mind Cen Zhuo's advice, "No matter what happens, you must stick to your position. Don't expose it casually." He told everyone to hold back and wait for Cen Zhuo's fire signal.

After leaving the mountain pass, the Southwest soldiers began to camp in a wide area.Cen Zhu was escorted all the way into the main tent.Cheng Shizi has been waiting for her for a long time holding the letter.

"Official Qin, please stay safe."

This Cheng Fengan is 34 years old this year, only a few years younger than his aunt.It was Cheng Gongjiang who was born with a maidservant when he was young, so he was not qualified to be established as the son of the world.Only Cheng Gongjiang officially married at the age of 35. Cheng Yiren, the son of his wife Du Xiuzhu, was frightened in the hunting ground since he was a child, and he was a little stupid, so he was made an exception.Cen Zhuo used Qin Zhuo's identity to deal with him more than ten years ago. At that time, her name as a senior official of Qin was very popular in the Jiangnan area. Do investment business.After Qin Zhuo died, those investments were of course in vain.

Over the past few years, the Cheng family has been unwilling to reconcile, and sent people to Jiangnan many times to trouble Qin Zhuo's agent Bao, hoping to get back the original investment.Cen Zhu told Bao Siniang to ignore her.One is that what she signed with the Cheng family was a secret contract, which was a dead-end deal? The Cheng family did not dare to ask for it with any fanfare anyway, and could only suffer this hidden loss; the other was that the source of the investment itself was not clean. It may involve the Southwest tax bank, and she wanted to return it at the beginning, but in the end, Li Jingchen said that there was no need to return it, and secretly "confiscated" it. He even urged the Cheng family to pay the tax bank. In order to make up the shortfall, almost a layer of skin was peeled off.

There are these? Past life entanglements, the Cheng family can be said to hate Qin Zhuo to the bone.Especially when this investment was led by the young and inexperienced Cheng Shizi, it is said that he almost lost his position as the son of the prince because of this, but now he happened to meet the "resurrected" Qin Daguan here. How could the elder son let her go? He immediately ordered someone to take her down.

Cen Zhu knew exactly this, so he pretended to panic and ran away, the purpose was to arouse the other party's suspicion.After being caught, he deliberately exposed a corner of the letter, and let the Southwest soldiers search it.At the end of the letter was a lotus pattern, which was exactly the monogram she used when discussing business back then. Cheng Fengan had seen it with his own eyes, and since then he was sure of it.

"Little General, are you afraid that you have identified the wrong person? We are just passing by. Who is a senior official from Qin?" Cen Zhu tried to "argument", but the calmer she acted, the more dismissive she was.

"Here is the monogram. I am afraid that there is no second person in the world who can draw such a monogram. I said how this Baojia Fufeng rice grain has become the largest grain merchant in the south of the Yangtze River in just a few years. It turns out that there is Gao behind it. People are plotting freely and horizontally. Qin officials are indeed cunning and scheming. A "fake death" swallowed 100 million taels of silver from my Southwest Cheng family. If everyone in the world has such a mind as Qin officials, why would anyone eat it? Not full?"

Cen Zhu looked embarrassed.

"Cheng Shizi, I also had some difficulties back then. Your Majesty insisted on misappropriating the money. If I didn't know how to flatter you, you might have to change from a 'fake death' to a 'real death'."

"Don't pressure me with His Majesty! What are you doing in Shangyang? Why are you here?"

Cen Zhu pretended to be helpless after being found out, "To be honest, I just came to Shangyang to do some small business, and I didn't expect to meet Cheng Shizi here. This... Sigh."

"Small business? For a small business of 300 million taels, Fufeng's rice grains are really generous."

Cen Zhu pretended to laugh awkwardly.

"It's just that the imperial court has explicitly prohibited grain merchants from raising the price of grain and hoarding it. If I hand this letter to the government, the Qin officials will guess what the consequences will be?"

Cen Zhu knew that the content of the letter was effective. In the letter, she pretended to investigate the grain prices near Shangyang County, and suggested to Bao Siniang to stockpile more grain in the south of the Yangtze River and transport it to the disaster area for resale. Whether it is the imperial court or selling it to the common people, it can make a lot of money.Although the letter didn't directly say how much she could earn, based on her estimated grain price and the amount of grain she asked Bao Siniang to raise, it was easy to calculate that the future income would be as high as several million taels.This Cheng Feng'an will definitely not sit back and watch this piece of fat slip from his mouth.

Cen Zhu used his eloquent eloquence as a businessman, and said, "Your Majesty Cheng, you really wronged me. The reason why you did this a while ago was not because you wanted to monopolize Shangyang's business. Originally, there was Mr. Cheng in it." In fact, I have long wanted to go to the Southwest to honor Young Master Cheng."

"Why, is the one million taels ten years ago still the one million taels now?"

Cen Zhu understood in seconds, "No, no, 150 million taels, the proceeds from this time, Fufeng Miliang and Cheng's family will get [-]-[-] points? How about it?"

Cheng Feng'an still didn't let go.

Cen Zhu had no choice but to grit his teeth, and said, "Two million taels, I will also give all of my share to Cheng Shizi. If it is less, it will be difficult for the shopkeeper to explain it."

"250 million taels! One point? Not less." Cheng Fengan insisted.

Cen Zhu thought to himself, this dog has a big appetite, so he pretended to be difficult.At this moment, the knives in the hands of the two trusted guards rang together.She shivered, "250 million taels, just 250 million taels, I promise, I will go back immediately to raise money."

With a proud face, Cheng Feng'an stood up while supporting the handrail, and walked towards her step by step.Holding her shoulders, "250 million taels to buy the life of the senior official Qin, I think this deal is very cost-effective. Isn't it?"

"Yes, yes!" Cen Zhu pretended to wipe his sweat with his sleeves up, and when he turned around, he suddenly pulled out the hairpin from his head and stabbed him hard on the back shoulder.Cheng Fengan didn't expect such a change, and immediately screamed, and when he wanted to resist, someone grabbed his neck forcefully, and the spikes of the hairpin were pointed behind his ear.

"Whoever dares to come over, I'll stick my hairpin into his head and back away immediately!" The guards all drew their knives and wanted to step forward, but Cen Zhu stabbed another hairpin into Cheng Fengan's ribs fiercely, There was another miserable scream.

"The person who ordered you, step back immediately, otherwise, the next hairpin will pierce your eyes!" Cheng Feng'an was frightened, and yelled and ordered everyone to back down. Seeing that the assassin was clearly desperate for his life, everyone was ruthless , He didn't care about the lives of the hostages at all, and never dared to go forward.
