The power of example is great. Ma Liang dared to confront Liu Cong in front of all the civil and military officials in the court. Zhou Yuan, who had been with his adoptive father for so long, also dared to confront Deng Ai.
"Without the favor of the king, you are nothing. If the king knows what you have done, do you think you will have a future?"
"Shi Zai! If you repent, it's not too late. Taojiang County needs a good official who can do practical things and serve the people. Have you forgotten your ambition when you came to Taojiang?"
This false statement has already caused Deng Ai to lose face completely in front of so many people, "Come here! Come here! Beat this bastard out with a stick!"
The fifty guards were all sent by Liu Cong to Deng Ai and Sun Shao. After listening to Deng Ai's instructions, the guard in charge sighed and stepped forward, saying softly to Zhou Yuan, "Master Zhou, please go first. I will stay."
Hand."
Zhou Yuan was beaten out with random sticks, but Deng Ai didn't seem to have recovered yet. He looked angry and ferocious, and his chest heaved up and down while breathing violently.

Ziye, who was sitting next to him, gently comforted him, "Master, please don't get angry. I will drink with you."
"Bang!"
"ah!"
"Drink the hell out of me!"
Deng Ai was so angry that he overturned the desks in front of him, frightening the people around him to scream again and again.
Sun Shao on the other side said, "Brother Ai, if our father knows what we are doing in Taojiang, we will not be able to reap the benefits."
Deng Ai said with a gloomy face, "This Zhou Yuan is just like his adoptive father Ma Liang, as stubborn as an ox."
"Master, why don't you kill him?"
"Kill him?" Deng Ai looked at Wei Cheng who was speaking and felt a little moved.
Wei Cheng chuckled, "Young Master, why don't we just stop doing this and kill him. Then we'll tell people that the restaurant he opened was so profitable that he was jealous and was robbed by bandits."

"As long as everything is done without leakage, no one will be able to find out about the young master."
Deng Ai stared at Wei Cheng and sneered, "I'm afraid you've fallen in love with that restaurant yourself?"
Wei Cheng smiled and said, "Sir, after everything is done, the business of Jufulou will be divided between you and me!"
Deng Ai shook his head and said, "I want all of Jufulou's business! Your other business is worth three to me!"
Wei Cheng's expression looked like he was constipated. He didn't expect that Deng Ai would have such a big appetite. "Master, you are a little too embarrassed. I..."
Sun Shao interrupted him, "What's the trouble? We are the adopted sons of the great king, and it is an honor for you, the common people, to serve for us."
As he spoke, Sun Shao pointed to the guards standing at the door after driving away Zhou Yuan, "The Taojiang County Police Department only has fifty police officers, and our fifty guards are all experienced in many battles and on the battlefield.
A tempered elite."
"Master Wei, if you let them kill your whole family, it won't take much effort."
Deng Ai continued, "Wei Cheng, it's your honor to cooperate with us. Don't be shameless."
Wei Cheng chuckled, "You two young masters have really big appetites. What Mr. Zhou just said is quite right. You two are just the king's pretenders. What's so arrogant about you?"

"Is it just you who will kill my whole family?" Wei Cheng smiled coldly, pointed at the two of them and said, "Do you think I gave you the women around you for free?"
"Let me tell you, from the moment you take them in, the fate of you two is no longer up to you. If you don't listen to me, I can also write a letter and sue you two."
Deng Ai wanted to slap the table, but failed, "You are so brave, how dare you threaten us!"
Wei Cheng sneered and said, "If the king knows what the two young masters have done, do you think the king will be angry? By then, it is possible that your mother will no longer be favored."
"I am guarding a commoner. If I can bring the two young masters together to suffer disaster, what do I have to fear?"
After hearing this, the expressions of the two people changed. After a long silence, Deng Ai asked in a deep voice, "What do you want?"
"I will give the two young masters 70% of Jufulou's business, and even 30% of my other businesses. However, I only have one request. The two young masters must protect Wei forever!"
Deng Ai pretended to think, "Weicheng, after all, Jufulou is just a restaurant. We don't care about the profit. What are your other businesses? You have to let my two brothers know about it, right?"
Deng Ai's words were somewhat disdainful, meaning he wanted to see if Wei Cheng's other businesses were worth investing in.
"This young master accepted the woman you presented to me. If my father knew about it, he would at most scold me for being a philanderer. Now, this young master has not participated in any of your bad things."

"On the contrary, I can kill you with my backhand and tell my father that you threaten us. When the time comes, you will be the one who dies!"
Wei Cheng smiled and said, "You two young masters, don't worry. Wei's other businesses will definitely bring enough benefits to the two young masters. Giving the two young masters 30% is the most that Wei can give them. You know, Wei
I still need to arrange for other people."
"However, I can't tell you what business Mr. Wei is running now. Only after I kill Zhou Yuan can I feel at ease with you two young masters."
"What a fucking old fox, you don't even give me a solid foundation for this." Deng Ai cursed in his heart, but his face was a little worried as he said, "Wei Cheng, after all, Zhou Yuan is the adopted son of Ma Liang, the Minister of Household Affairs.
If someone dies in Taojiang, let alone someone else, the king must pay attention to it. If someone is sent to investigate strictly, in case..."
Wei Cheng said seriously, "Only by killing Zhou Yuan will I believe in the sincerity of the two young masters in cooperating with me. As for the future, as long as we do it cleanly, no one will be able to find out about us!"
Deng Ai frowned and asked, "No matter how good Jufulou's business is, it's not worthy of Wei Cheng being so jealous, right? Why do you insist on killing Zhou Yuan?"
Wei Cheng cupped his hands and said, "Master Deng just saw that Zhou Yuan is not from the same group as us. With him in Taojiang, we will be finished sooner or later. Therefore, Zhou Yuan must die!"
Deng Ai sighed, "After all, he has been my classmate for four years."
"Those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters. Mr. Deng, if you want to achieve great things, you have to be ruthless!"
After Deng Ai pondered for a while, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind, "The guards I brought are all sent by my father. We cannot use these people to kill Zhou Yuan. You can find your own way!"
Wei Cheng smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about it, sir. This sentence is enough for you."
With that said, he looked at the police chief Li Yi and said, "Brother Li, just ask your police officers to dress up and go to visit Zhou Yuan's family."
Li Yi stood up and said seriously, "Leave it to me."
After Li Yi left, Deng Ai asked in a deep voice, "Even the police chief obeys your advice. It seems that all the officials in this county are your Weicheng people?"
Wei Cheng just smiled and didn't answer, and Deng Ai didn't ask any further questions about the matter, "Wei Cheng, you have sent the people out. Now, it's time to tell me, what kind of livelihood do you still have?"
After Wei Cheng hesitated for a moment, he clapped his hands.
The servants who heard the commotion brought up two boxes, one large and one small. In the small box were twenty gold bars, and in the big box were the accounts of all Wei Cheng's businesses and the list of participants!
