Chapter 875: Watching the Fire from the Other Shore

"You donated that money to the county to build bridges and pave roads, how could it have anything to do with King Zhongwu?" Under the gaze of the people at the scene, Steward Zhang's face turned red, and he said to the middle-aged man in the brocade robe with some anger, he knew very well that he had to be sure that the money was used to repair the bridge and pave the road, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

As an old man who has been by Zhou Renshan's side for many years, Steward Zhang knows very well that Zhou Renshan will definitely not protect him in this matter.

After all, this matter involves King Zhongwu, and once the incident happens, Zhou will definitely abandon him immediately to avoid getting into trouble, so he must protect himself now.

"Five hundred taels is all the funds in my hand, and now I don't even have the money to buy goods, have you ever seen anyone who will make himself unable to do business in order to build bridges and pave roads?"

The middle-aged man in the brocade robe laughed angrily when he heard this, and asked Steward Zhang coldly, Steward Zhang was even frightened in order to squeeze more oil and water from him, so that he had to take out all the money in the account, and he didn't care about his life or death at all.

"Boss Gao, how to do business is your business, what does it have to do with me!" Steward Zhang replied with a straight face when he heard this, he only had one thought in his heart now, that is, he resolutely could not admit that the money was collected under the banner of Li Yuntian.

"Everyone, you must have seen it, he doesn't admit that the money is blackmailed from us, once Master He reports this matter to King Zhongwu, with King Zhongwu's ability, he will definitely find out."

The middle-aged man in the brocade robe saw that Steward Zhang began to cheat, so he sneered and said loudly to the people around him, "If you don't stand up and clarify the facts now, you will be convicted of bribery by that time!" ”

"Brother Lu, your family's ancestral 100 acres of high-grade paddy fields were forcibly occupied by the Zhou family, presumably they also extorted a lot of money from you this time, what are you hiding for him?" As he spoke, the middle-aged man in the brocade robe looked at a middle-aged man with a Chinese character face in the crowd and shouted.

"You shouldn't have forgotten that the day before yesterday, in the name of giving a gift to King Zhongwu, you forcibly took away the gold and silver jewelry worth five hundred taels of silver from me, and the receipt you wrote is in my study!"

The middle-aged man with a national character face hesitated for a moment, then looked up at Steward Zhang, and said through gritted teeth, "If I don't hand over those things, you will let the people of the county government arrest me in prison in the name of the messenger, and let my family be ruined!" ”

"You...... You are talking nonsense, you took the initiative to give me those things, why do you want to regret it now. Steward Zhang's face became even more ugly, and he defended loudly.

"Brother Lu, you have to think about it, framing is a felony, and framing about King Zhongwu is a felony among felonies!" Zhou Renshan had already realized that the shape was not good at this time, and hurriedly said coldly to the middle-aged man with a national character face.

"If you know it's a felony, why did you let him blackmail us?" The middle-aged man with a national character face sneered and looked at Zhou Renshan, he had already been oppressed by Zhou Renshan, and the dissatisfaction in his heart broke out in an instant, and he yelled at Zhou Renshan almost frantically, "Don't think you can do whatever you want in the town, sue you, this time you are finished, King Zhongwu will definitely not let you go, you will definitely be cut off your head!" ”

"Crazy!" Zhou Renshan looked at the middle-aged man with a crazy face with a stunned expression, and muttered to himself, the middle-aged man with a national character face was obviously in an abnormal state at this time, he never expected that the middle-aged man with a Chinese character face would be so excited.

Li Yuntian silently looked at the scene in front of him, it seemed that Zhou Renshan usually did a lot of evil, which made the middle-aged man with a national character face react so violently.

Now He Yunyi has toppled the two dominoes of the middle-aged man in the brocade robe and the middle-aged man with the national character face, which is bound to trigger a chain reaction, causing more dominoes to fall, and then burying Zhou Renshan.

"Steward Zhang, in the name of giving it to Mrs. Zhongwu Wang, you forcibly took fifty pieces of fine silk from my shop, and if you don't give it to you, you will treat me as the eyeliner of the widow."

"The surname is Zhang, you robbed our family's ancestral jade bracelet......"

"Thou hast taken two hundred taels of silver from me......"

……

Perhaps it was the crazy behavior of the middle-aged man with a national character face just now that scared everyone, making the scene unusually quiet.

However, after a short silence, a storm of accusations suddenly broke out, and many people who were blackmailed and blackmailed by Steward Zhang were infected by the middle-aged man in the brocade robe and the middle-aged man with a national character face, and stood up one after another, accusing Steward Zhang of collecting money and intimidating them under the banner of giving gifts to Li Yuntian.

In the face of those surging victims, Steward Zhang's face turned green in an instant, and he couldn't help but take a step back, his eyes showed a look of horror, if so many people testified against him together, he would definitely die, no matter how much he quibbled, it was futty.

Zhou Renshan was also stunned by the scene in front of him, he was usually used to being powerful in Xiaohe Town, except for He Yunyi who fought against him from time to time, no one dared to disobey him, and now the scene made him feel inexplicably flustered.

"What, if you want to rebel, you can't do it?" Zhou Renshan knew very well that if he couldn't put those who stood up and pointed out against Steward Zhang, then things would become very troublesome, and he would be involved no matter what, after all, Steward Zhang was the chief butler of the Zhou family, so he shouted at the excited victims at the scene with a gloomy face.

"Who wants to find death!"

"If you're not afraid of death, come here."

"Offended our master, see how you will continue to mess around the town in the future."

……

With Zhou Renshan's shout, the family members standing behind him waved the knives, guns, sticks and other objects in their hands and threatened the victims violently.

Seeing this situation, the voice of the on-site accusing Steward Zhang stopped abruptly, because Zhou Renshan had been doing evil in Xiaohe Town for a long time, so those victims were still very afraid of his obscenity, and in the face of the fierce Zhou Renshan and the fierce and vicious family Ding, they were so frightened that they closed their mouths one after another, and subconsciously retreated.

"Don't be afraid, this person has violated the laws of the imperial court by collecting money under the banner of King Zhongwu, as long as this person is tied up and sent to the county seat to be handed over to King Zhongwu, King Zhongwu will definitely give everyone justice."

At this moment, Zhao Dahai suddenly shouted loudly to those victims, "Although Zhou Papi does whatever he wants in our county, it is simply not worth mentioning in front of King Zhongwu, King Zhongwu has always been kind to the people, how can he let his reputation be ruined by such villains?" ”

"Yes, I caught this dog slave and sent it to King Zhongwu, King Zhongwu will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly, and everyone can wash away any grievances." He Yunyi was also frightened by Zhou Renshan's ferocious momentum before, and after hearing Zhao Dahai's words, he suddenly came back to his senses, and he had nothing to fear with Li Yuntian in charge of him, so he also shouted loudly.

"Send him to the official!" After Zhao Dahai and He Yunyi's reminders, those victims reacted one after another, at this time, it should be Zhou Renshan who was afraid, in front of Li Yuntian, who was high up, he was completely like an ant, so they became excited again, and wanted to send Steward Zhang to the county seat to hand over to Li Yuntian's people, so that he and Zhou Renshan could be punished.

"Come on, send this group of Diao people away to Master Ben, how can Lang Lang Qiankun allow these people to talk nonsense here."

Zhou Renshan saw that those victims were not frightened by himself but wanted to send Steward Zhang to the official, and immediately became confused, just as Zhao Dahai said, he was really a humble existence in front of Li Yuntian, Li Yuntian could take his life with a word, this time he was really scared, and after glancing around at the victims who gritted his teeth and looked at him, he angrily pointed at them and shouted to the surrounding families.

When the family members heard this, they immediately rushed towards He Yunyi and the others with the weapons in their hands, they were usually used to bullying men and women with Zhou Renshan's power in the town, so Zhou Renshan's order was like a holy decree to them, and they didn't care about what was right or wrong, anyway, Zhou Renshan was carrying around when something happened.

The crowd suddenly panicked, including He Yunyi and others, they all retreated in panic, everyone knew that these slaves of the Zhou family were ruthless, and no matter the old people and children, they dared to be ruthless to death.

Seeing this, Lei Ting waved her hand, and the guards gathered around Li Yuntian drew their waist knives and greeted them, stopping those Zhou family members with expressionless faces.

Li Yuntian's guards are not only experienced in a hundred battles, but they have participated in at least a dozen battles, large and small, and they all crawled out of the pile of dead people.

This made the rabble of the Zhou family members immediately shocked by the fierce momentum of the guards, and they hurriedly stood there not daring to take a step forward, their faces showing fear.

The people at the scene looked at the scene in front of them in surprise, no one could have imagined that those guards would actually stop the Zhou family's family, let alone that they would have such a formidable momentum.

"Boss Zhou, this person is swaggering and deceiving in the name of King Zhongwu, for the sake of the reputation of King Zhongwu, don't you mind handing him over to us, and go back to the county with us to assist in a thorough investigation of this matter!"

Taking advantage of the confrontation between the guards and the Zhou family, Lei Ting looked at Zhou Renshan, whose face had become pale, and said, When things come to this point, it is naturally her turn to clean up the mess.

"Who are you?" Zhou Renshan glared at Lei Ting with a blue face, he didn't know where this group of nosy guys came from, which made him feel an inexplicable fear in his heart.

"Yangzhou businessman." Lei Ting saw the fear in Zhou Renshan's eyes, a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she replied quietly, "King Zhongwu is an important minister of the imperial court, how can we, as the people of the Ming Dynasty, sit back and watch the banner of King Zhongwu be evil?" ”

"Master Ben already knows about this matter, and he will send him to the county government to investigate thoroughly, so you don't need to worry about it." Zhou Renshan's face became even more ugly when he heard this, and the momentum that Lei Ting showed at this time made him even more flustered, he knew that he must not hand over Steward Zhang to Lei Ting, so he sneered and turned around and walked quickly towards the courtyard, wanting to leave this place of right and wrong.

Steward Zhang hesitated for a moment, and then followed nervously, he knew that he was in a big trouble this time, although he didn't believe that Zhou Renshan would save him, and he didn't think that Zhou Renshan had this ability, maybe Zhou Renshan would kill him, but he had no choice at this moment only to follow Zhou Renshan to have a trace of life.

Seeing that Zhou Renshan and Steward Zhang were about to slip away, He Yunyi and the people at the scene suddenly made a commotion, and it would not be good if the two of them escaped.

Whoosh, just when Zhou Renshan came to the front of the mansion, a crossbow arrow flew past his ear and shot at a gate in front of him with a snap, and the tip of the arrow trembled slightly, so frightened that Zhou Renshan immediately stopped, turned around and looked at Lei Ting in shock.

"If you insist on this, I can only ask them to 'invite' you to the county seat." Lei Ting looked at Zhou Renshan coldly and said, several guards beside her raised the crossbow in their hands and aimed at Zhou Renshan expressionlessly, just waiting for Lei Ting to give an order and shoot at Zhou Renshan.
