Naturally, Wang Cheng couldn't get in the conversation between the two, but he was even more impressed in his heart. His third brother didn't seem to be socializing around, so why did he suddenly get to know these well-connected people? When he saw Zhao Da, he was a
The scribes with outstanding martial arts skills and the servants outside the door are all strong men with strong external skills and strong muscles. They are all third-rate masters.
Zhu Kui was thinking about this when he suddenly saw Wang Cheng's eyes and looked outside the hall. A thought suddenly came to his mind: "I have provoked an unknown enemy. It just so happened that Zhao Da brought some good martial arts."
If you are good at it, you might as well borrow enough guards first, plus the brothers recruited from Master Wang Ying, the number will be enough, and you can bring mom and dad to the city, so it will be much safer."
Thinking of this, he immediately told the story of being intercepted and killed on the official road outside the county town at noon today, one by one, without concealing anything.
"Brother Zhao, can you lend me my bodyguard? I will return it to you when I find out who is behind the scenes." After saying that, Zhu Kui looked at Zhao Da's decision quietly.
Hearing this, Zhao Da frowned. He did not immediately answer Zhu Kui's words. Instead, he took out a turtle shell from his arms, stuffed six copper coins into it, shook it, poured it out, and even started doing calculations on the spot.
After thinking about it for a while, an idea flashed in my eyes, and I got the result.
He smiled and said: "Brother Zhu, Zhao just made a fortune, and it is a lucky fortune. It means that this interception is bad but not dangerous. After the bad news, you will meet a noble person."
Regarding these fortune-telling theories, Zhu Kui just said "oh" and didn't take it seriously, focusing more on his own actual calculations.
"Thank you, Brother Zhao, for your kind words, but we still need a countermeasure for the current matter, so that we can feel at ease. So, I wonder if I would like to lend you my guard."
"Haha, little brother Zhu is in need, and Zhao has no reason not to allow it, so let them follow you and be driven by you. This is actually their blessing." Zhao Da agreed with a laugh, which was especially believed by people from outside the country.
They all do things according to their destiny. Since they believe that Zhu Kui is the real dragon and the master of the Ming Dynasty, they put everything on the other side as if they were "fate-destined".
"Thank you so much, Brother Zhao." Zhu Kui stood up and thanked him. He fell asleep when he met his pillow. Although Zhu Kui secretly guessed that Zhao Da had ulterior motives for being kind to him and used his bodyguard to come.
It may be a little inappropriate to protect your loved ones, but it is not the only solution.
He believed that Zhao Da was not like someone who would harm himself or even take advantage of his relatives. Moreover, he understood better that in dealing with the world, one should not separate trust and disbelief, good people and bad people. One is one and the other is
Two, there can never be three.
In life, if you cannot trust this person or that person, if you are too suspicious, you will definitely achieve nothing.
Moreover, if Zhao Da really wanted to harm him, it would not be as easy as hiding from the ruffians and bullies. Zhao Da already knew the addresses of his family members. If he really wanted to hijack his family members and do some conspiracy, there would be nothing he could do about it. With Zhao Da,
With his reputation as a fortune teller on the road, he could easily find ways to use rangers with strong martial arts skills. At that time, a group of rangers came to kill them, and Zhu Kui's family was completely unable to resist.
Zhao Da agreed, and Zhu Kui asked him to stay in his home temporarily. Just now, Zhao Da said that when he met a noble person, he was talking about himself. Zhu Kui thought this in his heart. No matter whether the other party had any plans, he still planned to do so.
Take advantage first and talk about the rest later.
Originally, he was planning to go to Zhao Bancheng to advance wages. After Zhao Da heard Zhu Kui's plan, he naturally took care of it and divided half of the gold and property he carried with him for the purpose of recruiting the senior brothers to protect him.
For two days, Zhao Da seemed to be acting as Zhu Kui's housekeeper. He not only provided money and people, but also relied on his friends in Moling County to find out who was trying to harm Zhu Kui.
Unfortunately, it failed. Zhao Da guessed that the person who secretly wanted to deal with Zhu Kui was, for example, a powerful force in Moling County. After hearing this, Zhu Kui reported and targeted two people at once. One was the Lu family of the four major surnames in Jiangdong, and the other was naturally a member of the government.
People, such as county magistrates, county captains, etc.
The most likely thing is that it is the Lu family. After all, the booming business of Piaoxiang Tower has a substantial impact on Tianfeng Tower and has a stake in it. Earlier, the deacon and shopkeeper of Tianfeng Tower met and invited him.
He refused, but he became ruthless because of this. Seeing that he was no more than a commoner, it was not surprising that he wanted to be a killer...
The four major surnames in Jiangdong all originated from Wu County. Over a hundred years later, the territory occupied by each family has naturally changed. Wu County has become the ancestral place of the ancestors. Now the Lu family is located in Lujiang County, mainly engaged in restaurant business and other things.
The Gu family is located in Guangling County and mainly engages in sea salt business, among other things.
The Zhang family is located in Yuzhang County and is mainly engaged in the silk, satin and Sichuan brocade business.
The Zhu family developed in Kuaiji County. Unfortunately, a few years ago, Xu Sheng from Kuaiji rebelled and claimed the title of King of Yue. He was suppressed by Zang Min, the governor of Yangzhou. Three years of war caused a lot of depression in Kuaiji County and had a huge impact on the development of the Zhu family.
Now he has returned to his hometown in Wu County and ranks last among the four surnames in Jiangdong.
Danyang County is the seat of Yangzhou, so the main controlling force is still the imperial court, which has the final say between the prefect and the governor of Yangzhou.
Since it might be related to the Lu family, Zhu Kui naturally couldn't just go up and take revenge. If he angered these local nobles, his family might not be able to leave Jiangdong. Besides, he knew in his mind that the person who wanted to kill him should be the deacon and shopkeeper.
, is not the head of the Lu family, so he only sent some ruffians to block the road and kill him.
In fact, these aristocratic families have large businesses, are involved in the government, and are involved in the green forest. They are large and complex. Moling County is only one county in Danyang County. Whether a Tianfeng Tower is profitable or not is just a drop in the bucket for the huge gentry.
The core members of the Lu family will not personally manage a restaurant. Naturally, more than 80% of the business is left to the servants.
The problem lies with the deacon and the shopkeeper. He has to make achievements, which will have a great impact on his status within the Lu family. The only one who can care about a small person like Zhu Kui is the shopkeeper.
The Lu family has a great business, and it is not difficult for someone in Piaoxiang Building to find out the time and route of his return home. It seems that he wants to eliminate the shopkeeper's misunderstanding of him as soon as possible, and perhaps find a way to assassinate him directly.
Killing is the last resort. Zhu Kui is not willing to use it unless he has to. This time he sent out more than 20 bullies and gangsters from the other side and killed them. He also destroyed the corpses and wiped out all traces. This should make the other side
After thinking about it, I realized that I was not that easy to deal with. If I just gave up, even if I suffered some losses, I would have been exposed. If not, I had no choice but to take action and do what Zhuanzhu did.
Of course, before that, we must do a good job of guarding and not giving anyone any opportunities. After all, it is easy to kill the shopkeeper and deacon, but it is a big trouble to attract the real attention of the Lu family.
Zhao Bancheng needs to be informed of this. After all, it is related to him. He has some connections with the Zhou family behind the scenes. Let him talk to the shopkeeper of the Lu family and see if it can work.

Tianfeng Building, the backyard, the place where the shopkeeper keeps his account books.
"It is reported to the shopkeeper that Zhu Kui has returned to Moling County safely." A waiter reported with a worried look on his face. The person who went to find the thin man that day was him who had changed his position.
"It's been a day, and none of those gangsters have come back. It seems that all these twenty people are dead." The shopkeeper of the Lu family said to himself in fear, and even more regretfully, sighing: "Hey!
If I had known better, I wouldn't have had such a dispute. In fact, even if Piaoxiang Tower becomes popular, it will have an impact on my Tianfeng Tower, but it won't cause me to lose money, so why bother with such an extraordinary person."
Twenty gangsters and bullies were completely eliminated by two teenagers. Naturally, in his mind, they were not simple people.
"Fortunately, you are in disguise. The bully sent to intercept does not know your identity. He may not be able to guess that you are the mastermind, but it is not important. Even if he knows, how dare you do anything?"
The shopkeeper shouted with a stern expression.
He is a small-minded person. Zhu Kui has offended him before. He rejected his kindness in front of his servants that day, causing him to lose face in front of his subordinates. You must know that he is the deacon of the Lu family and thinks he is superior to others.
The little civilian boy actually doesn't buy his own face.
I once took a step back and asked that I buy a copy of the story, but I didn't agree to it. The angry man finally decided to kill me.
"You, you go to the market to find some rangers with strong martial arts skills. No matter how much money you have, as long as you kill that Zhu Kui, I will reward you with an ingot of gold! Let's see if he can resist." The shopkeeper and the deacon roared to the man.
