The whole process of the young man was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, the long knife had already attacked in front of Liu Zheng.

It's a pity that Liu Zheng had already taken precautions, and when he was suspicious of the carriage, he had already raised his vigilance.

When the young man slashed at him, his body immediately turned to the side, and immediately avoided the young man's bright knife.

Then he stretched out his hand, just reached the part that was pinched on the boy's wrist, and hit it lightly, the boy's wrist hurt, and he couldn't hold the long knife for a while.

The handle of the knife fell down, and was caught by Liu Zheng with one hand, and then with a swing of the tail, the long knife was lifted again, and it was placed on the young man's neck.

At the moment when the young man made his move, those private soldiers of the Cai family also launched an attack on the Yellow Turban Army on Liu Zheng's side at this time.

Although there were only a few dozen people, they did not hesitate, picked up the long knife on the carriage, and launched an attack on Liu Zheng's Yellow Turban Army, and the shouts of killing immediately sounded outside the city.

But after Liu Zheng subdued the young man in an instant, Liu Zheng shouted and reprimanded.

"Stop, if you don't stop, I'll kill this person and Cai Mao!"

Liu Zheng's words made the young man's face instantly pale, and he trembled with fright, and issued an order to stop at the Cai family's private soldiers who were fighting with the Yellow Turban Army.

Fortunately, this battle has not yet entered the white heat, and Liu Zheng's side is full of several masters, Zhou Cang and Xu Huang and others, which are not something that ordinary people can handle.

So there were no casualties on either side.

The most exciting thing is Cai Mao, he finally looked forward to the people of his family coming to save him, but before he could figure out what was going on, he saw Liu Zheng and his family make a move.

He knew in his heart what kind of person Liu Zheng was, not to mention the dozens of Cai family's private soldiers, even if he came ten times and a hundred times the number of people, it would be impossible to defeat Liu Zheng in Runan City.

Cai Mao's heart was cold, and she saw that Liu Zheng and the people of the Cai family had stopped for a while, and then she came to her senses and looked at Liu Zheng anxiously, wanting to know what was going on.

"Zhou Cang, go and open the boxes on the carriage."

After subduing the young man, Liu Zheng immediately asked Zhou Cang to go over and check the boxes on the carriage. Zhou Cang followed Liu Zheng's instructions and immediately opened the wooden box.

As a result, as Liu Zheng expected, the inside of the box was empty.

The first box was empty, Zhou Cang was shocked, and then opened the next few boxes one after another.

As a result, except for the boxes containing pig iron, which were actually filled with pig iron, the boxes that were supposed to contain gold were empty.

Moreover, even the first chest of gold was not full at all, except for the first layer of some gold, and the bottom was some stones, separated by wooden planks and covered with silk cloth, so that it could not be seen.

Seeing this scene, Liu Zheng laughed instead of anger.

looked at the young man in front of him with interest.

"I said, your Cai family is too powerful, is it because I'm stupid Liu Zheng, or do you think you're smarter than me, and you actually want to use these empty boxes and send me away?"

The young man was also speechless for a while when he was asked by Liu Zheng, he didn't know if he was embarrassed, and he still couldn't refute Liu Zheng.

On the contrary, Cai Mao, who was in a hurry here, hurriedly walked over, and when she saw this young man, she was immediately shocked.

"Little sister! Why are you, the second brother and the third brother, why didn't they come? ”

Cai Mao's expression was ugly, looking at the young man in front of him, and Liu Zheng was stunned after hearing Cai Mao's words.

"Little sister? Younger sister? Female? ”

Only then did Liu Zheng look at the young man who was caught by himself.

Oh no, girl.

When Liu Zheng was still a little surprised, the young man finally showed a trace of blush, and then lowered his head, not daring to speak.

And Cai Mao was extremely nervous, and hurriedly begged for mercy at Liu Zheng.

"Liu Zhengqu is handsome, don't hurt my little sister's life, there must be some misunderstanding here, please allow me to ask."

Cai Mao was very nervous, for fear that Liu Zheng would be angry and kill them directly.

Liu Zheng didn't lose anything anyway, nodded, and motioned for Cai Mao to ask what's going on.

Cai Mao quickly started talking to the girl here.

And after Liu Zheng heard their conversation here, he understood what was going on.

It turned out that Cai Mao's letter was indeed delivered to Cai's family.

But the people of the Cai family had a huge disagreement about spending 1,500 gold to rescue Cai Mao.

Although Cai Mao is the son of the Cai family and the current head of the Cai family, he also has two younger brothers named Cai Zhong and Cai He.

After Cai Zhong and Cai He received the letter written by Cai Mao, they did not plan to take out 1,500 gold to rescue Cai Mao as stated in the letter.

On the contrary, he refused to rescue Cai Mao on the grounds that he did not know the truth of the faith.

In fact, they knew that the letter was true, and they were able to find out that Cai Mao was captured in the battle with Liu Zheng.

But the reason why they didn't rescue Cai Mao is also very straightforward.

The Cai family has a big business, but the head of the Cai family is Cai Mao, and only the eldest son is the one who really controls the Cai family, but if Cai Mao dies outside, the huge Cai family foundation will fall into the hands of Cai Zhong and Cai He.

So that's why they want Cai Mao to die outside, and don't want him to come back.

But Cai Mao's youngest sister, Cai Yao is not as short-sighted as his two elder brothers.

Although Cai Mao is not a shrewd person, he is still slightly better than Cai Zhong and Cai He, if Cai Mao is really killed by the Yellow Turban Army this time.

The Cai family will inevitably collapse in Jingzhou, and the huge family business will definitely be encroached upon by others.

So when she knew that her two elder brothers were unwilling to rescue her eldest brother Cai Mao, Cai Yao, as the younger sister, acted on her own, taking the only money she had and exchanging it for pig iron as stated in the letter.

Then he took the private soldiers of the Cai family, who originally belonged to Cai Mao, and ran over to rescue Cai Mao.

Although Cai Yao also belongs to the Cai family and is a member of the Cai family, she is a daughter after all. There is only so much money that can be used, and it is still possible to buy some pig iron, but it is impossible to come up with 1,500 gold.

That's why there is now, Liu Zheng caught her and appeared outside Runan City.

After listening to the conversation between Cai Mao and Cai Yao, Liu Zheng finally understood, it turned out that this was the case, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Judging from the way Cai Mao spoke, Liu Zheng didn't feel like she was lying. However, he didn't get the 1,500 gold agreed upon by Cai Mao, so just like that, he couldn't let Cai Mao go back.

"Cai Mao, it seems that you overestimated your status in the Cai family, you can't even take out a mere fifteen hundred gold, and you still expect me to let you go back?"
