A small group of soldiers walked out from the Twenty-Four Bridge on a moonlit night. They walked in neat steps. The leading soldier shouted: "The guards of the Prince of Zhujiang County are here, why don't you give way quickly!"

The gangsters stopped them and refused to let them go, but they were beating the drum in their hearts. Each of these sergeants was tall and well-dressed. Most of them were slovenly. Standing together formed a sharp contrast.

"The Guards of the Prince of Zhujiang County are here, why don't you give way quickly!!"

The imperial guards shouted loudly for the second time. At the same time, the imperial guards made fighting postures with either swords or spears in their hands.

This momentum instantly frightened the group of people and took several steps back.

"Brother, it seems that the Prince of Pearl River County is the prince who just came to the vassal state. He is in charge of our Guangzhou Prefecture. What if it is the Prince of Pearl River County who captures the "Prince"?"

"What, Prince Zhujiang?!"

Zhang Zixing was stunned and then said: "Why didn't anyone tell me?"

"Brother, we don't know, and besides, you left too fast..."

"Damn it!" Zhang Zixing cursed, and the boy next to him received a slap for the unreasonable disaster he had suffered.

Zhang Zixing suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He was really dizzy. Why did he come around without asking for help?

In the past few days, I had been living and drinking without a moment of sobriety, but now I am completely sober.

Since ancient times, people have not fought with officials, and unruly people have not fought with officials. They need the protection of officials, even if they have reached the level of Zhang Zixing, it is still the same.

Zhang Zixing is now known as the King of Guangzhou. His party members have deep roots and his sphere of influence is huge.

At that time, Zhang Zixing's father was the shopkeeper of a wealthy businessman. He happened to meet Zhu Liangzu, the Marquis of Yongjia, who was guarding Guangdong. He relied on his intelligence to get close to Zhu Liangzu and became his right-hand man in making money. Slowly, he almost monopolized the feudal clan.

smuggling business within.

The interest chain of smuggling is extremely wide, with connections from all walks of life and government agencies. As Zhu Liangzu's spokesperson in the dark world, Zhang Zixing's father is so powerful that even when he meets the prefect, he is treated as an equal, and he is familiar with them in the army.

very.

The army could not make money openly and openly, so it had to rely on tributes from people like Zhang Zixing's father and at the same time protect their smuggling business.

Later, when Zhu Liangzu induced Zhu Yuanzhang to unjustly kill Panyu County Magistrate Daotong, he colluded with Prime Minister Hu Weiyong, and was later killed in the Hu Weiyong case.

However, Zhang Zixing's father was low-key and cautious enough, and the interests he controlled were large enough, so he was not implicated and was saved.

Not many people even know his real name.

Unlike his father, Zhang Zixing was still young when Zhu Liangzu came to power. He was more arrogant and domineering. Although the actual scope of the gang was smaller than that of his father, his reputation was greater and he was called the King of Guangzhou.

It's just that in this business, you have to have a great reputation. If you become famous, people will disappear.

This time Zhang Zi was in a panic. He was not someone he could offend, but now he was riding a tiger and it was hard to get off.

"Quick, go and ask for Mr. Nan." Zhang Zixing hurriedly sent someone.

"The Guards of the Prince of Zhujiang County are here, why don't you get out of the way quickly!!!" the guards shouted for the third time. The angry voice scared the gangsters out of their wits, and they stopped making any further stops and headed straight for them.

As he walked out, everyone knew that if anyone dared to stop him, these guards would definitely kill him with their swords.

They are all waiting for Zhang Zixing's order. Most of the people in this group are teenagers. These people are not afraid of anything and do not attack lightly. They are usually allowed to collect protection fees and bully honest people. Now even if

Zhang Zixing dared to attack the imperial guards despite Zhang Zixing's orders. These people are immature in thinking and easy to get fooled.

But Zhang Zixing didn't dare to give this order now. He was completely panicked now.

A group of people watched as the guards walked past among them.

"Brother, what should we do now? We can't just watch."

Zhang Zixing had no choice but to cough, and after thinking about it, it was not the way to go on like this. A man could bend and stretch, so he had to admit defeat today, but he was used to being arrogant, so he was still trying to think of ways to save his face.

He walked towards the entrance of Twenty-Four Bridge on a moonlit night, and whispered to the guard at the entrance: "Please inform His Royal Highness the Prince of Zhujiang County that Zhang Zixing would like to see you."

The guards stood motionless at the door, completely ignoring him and not giving him any face.

"Zhang Zixing, the canon historian of Dongguan County, Guangzhou Prefecture, asks for an audience." Zhang Zixing spent money to buy an official position before. In these local government offices, there are countless cases of selling officials and titles, especially some idle positions or low-level positions.

A guard ran upstairs and found Zhu Zhanzhen: "Your Highness, Zhang Zixing wants to see you. He has an official position the size of a sesame seed and a mung bean."

"What's his expression now?" Zhu Zhanzhen asked with interest.

"Not very good."

Zhu Zhanzhen smiled coldly. At this moment, the doctor came over. He asked urgently: "How is it? Can Zhang San's hand be saved?"

The doctor shook his head: "Your Highness, ordinary people are incompetent. Even if your Excellency Zhang San's hands are well maintained, it is impossible to be the same as ordinary people. He cannot lift heavy objects, and he cannot use them flexibly or do fine work."

Zhu Zhanzhen was not an unreasonable person, so he took out some broken silver and put it into the doctor's hand without looking at it: "Excuse me for going over, I will treat these as rewards for you."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

The doctor was originally uneasy, but Zhu Zhanzhen was very polite and easy to negotiate with. He secretly glanced at Zhang Tai who was hanging up, thinking that His Highness, as long as he didn't offend him, he would be very easy to get along with.

Yes, the rumors outside are not necessarily true.

Zhu Zhanchen thought for a while and said to the guard: "Bring that guy in, just him."

The guard at the door received the order and said: "You can go in, everyone behind you is outside."

"Brother."

"Brother."

It was impossible for a group of boys to watch Zhang Zixing go in alone. Zhang Zixing stretched out his hand to stop them: "I can go in by myself."

As soon as Zhang Zixing entered, the door downstairs was closed, and the younger brothers couldn't help but started talking: "Brother is so brave, he dares to go straight into the dragon's pond and the tiger's den alone."

"Big brother is mighty."

The boys outside shouted loudly, and Zhang Zi became very excited and followed the guards upstairs.

After walking a few steps, I noticed Zhang Tai who was hung up in the middle hall.

Zhang Tai's face was swollen like a pig's head. He was pointed at by a group of brothel girls, covering his mouth and laughing.

At this moment, Zhang Zixing's anger surged. This was a humiliation to his son and a humiliation to him.

How many years has it been, how many years has no one dared to yell at him, how many years has no one dared to humiliate him, even when he met the boss of Guangdong Sansi, he still had a place, and now he was humiliated in public.

Suppressing his anger, Zhang Zixing stared at his son who was hung up. At this moment, a bottle of wine flew out from upstairs and hit Zhang Tai's body.

After a while there was another bottle.

The Pang Pang wine bottle hit Zhang Tai, and Zhang Zixing gritted his teeth, his anger visible to the naked eye.

He is not usually the kind of person who can endure humiliation. If you mess with me, I will kill you. This is his usual style of doing things, but this time it won't work.

This time he had to endure it and looked at the hundreds of guards in the building. Is this something he couldn't bear?

When he walked upstairs, he saw Zhu Zhanzhen lying half-lying with a smile on his face, eating fruits peeled by the waiters. He had to force out a smile and walked forward.

"His Royal Highness the Prince of Zhujiang County..."

But two guards stopped him and prevented him from getting closer.

"Who is this?"

Zhang Zixing had a flattering smile on his face: "Your Highness, your subordinate Zhang Zixing, I heard that Your Highness is here, so I brought a group of people to see His Highness. Your Highness has just arrived in Guangzhou. We are familiar with Guangzhou, and we are wondering if there is any place we can serve."

At your service, Your Highness."

"This group of people look fierce. They don't look like they are here to serve me. Instead, they seem to want to kill me."

"Your Highness, you are joking. Even if you give us dozens of courages, we would not dare to be disrespectful to Your Highness. I have long heard that Your Highness is very charming and outstanding, so I thought of bringing a group of brothers to see the style of the Tian family."

He still had a flattering smile. Zhang Tai, who was hanging up, had never seen his father look so groveling. The heroic and domineering father was gone. Now his father looked like those who usually nodded and bowed to them.

people.

Zhu Zhanzhen asked the imperial guards to take a pear and handed it to Zhang Zixing: "Since you are here to see me, I have always been the most reasonable person. I reward you with this fruit, and you have seen it. Take your men with you.

Get lost."

Zhang Zixing saw that Zhu Zhanzhen did not mention anything about Zhang Tai. He glanced sideways at Zhang Tai, who was already unconscious, and said with an embarrassed expression: "Your Highness, Quanzi acted recklessly and offended you. I am here to apologize to you on Quanzi's behalf."

.”

After saying that, Zhang Zixing knelt down and started kowtowing directly.

But he couldn't knock his head off, so the guards directly grabbed him.

"Which dog is yours?"

Zhu Zhanzhen's words were even more humiliating to Zhang Zixing.

Zhang Zixing's face twitched, and his forced smile was not to mention ugly.

"Your Highness, Zhang Tai, the dog, is the unfilial son who offended you and was hung up. This kid doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth, but he dares to be disrespectful to you. I will teach you a lesson when I go back, and I will open a hundred tables for you in the best restaurant.

, invite all the prominent people in Guangzhou, and I will apologize to you in front of everyone."

You are very sincere in what you say, but this is not something that can be solved with sincerity.

"If an apology is useful, what should the government do?"

Seeing Zhu Zhanzong's indifferent expression, Zhang Zixing gritted his teeth and said: "Your Highness, I have already understood what happened today. It was Zhang Tai who was wrong. You should beat him and punish him. It was you who taught him a lesson for me.

It is his blessing, please show mercy to your highness, and hope that your highness will leave a way for the dog to survive."
