Chapter 163 Crossing the river, the storm is about to begin

"What? Is it that boy named Zhao from Dingtai Martial Arts School again?"

Lin Shiguo, who was drinking and having fun, couldn't help but became furious after hearing the news and kicked over the wine table in front of him.

Several beauties who were waiting on the side were unable to dodge and were hit with bruises on their noses and faces.

But even so, these beauties still didn't dare to move.

They had followed Lin Shiguo for a while, so they naturally knew how cruel and violent Vice Admiral Lin was. If he was not careful, he would be beaten or scolded, or killed in the worst case, so they did not dare to move even if the blood was flowing from the blow.

At this time, Lin Shiguo drew out his sword and said with murderous intent: "Gather your soldiers and follow me to kill him now. I will chop this man named Zhao into minced meat."

"Lord Lieutenant, please calm down."

Yuan Chenfeng, who was accompanying Lin Shiguo to have fun, quickly stood up and tried to dissuade him.

Lin Shiguo glanced at him sideways, "What? Do you want to plead for this person named Zhao?"

"Of course not. My subordinates are loyal to you, the Commander-in-Chief, and the Vice-General. This is a lesson to be learned from heaven and earth. Moreover, I also have a feud with Dingtai Martial Arts School. I wish they would die. How can I intercede on their behalf?" Yuan Chenfeng explained quickly.

"Then why did you stop me?"

"Sir Lieutenant General, I am thinking about you. Although you are unparalleled in bravery, you are still a general on horseback. This man named Zhao is a gangster. If you really want to take someone there, you may not be able to get any benefits. ."

"What a joke, you mean I can't beat him?" Lin Shiguo laughed angrily.

"That's not what you meant. It's just that if you send out cavalry, it will definitely arouse resistance from these martial arts schools. There will inevitably be casualties. This goes against the commander's wishes."

Lin Shiguo calmed down.

As the first lieutenant, he naturally knew what Wei Hongbin meant.

For Wei Hongbin, these cavalrymen under his command were extremely precious and they were the foundation for his future success, and no loss could be tolerated.

Especially if it is wasted on a group of warriors, Wei Hongbin feels that it is not worth it.

That's why he has been standing still during this period.

But this does not mean that he did nothing. In fact, during this period of time, Wei Hongbin quietly sent people to negotiate privately with many martial arts schools, and the results were gratifying.

Many martial arts schools have quietly changed their stance. Although they dare not support it publicly, they all guarantee that if anything happens, they will stand by Wei Hongbin.

This method of dividing the warriors' forces is very clever, and it won't take long to destroy most of the warriors' forces.

Therefore, at this critical moment, Wei Hongbin would never agree to Lin Shiguo's rash dispatch of troops.

"This won't work, that won't work either. Could it be that we have to endure it again this time?" Lin Shiguo said angrily.

Yuan Chenfeng chuckled.

"How come we just let it go? Lieutenant-general, didn't Captain Sun want to win over Zhao Ya several times before? This time I just left the matter to him to handle. If he can kill Zhao Ya, then naturally Even better, if he continues to tolerate it, then you will have something to say in front of the commander."

Hearing this, Lin Shiguo's eyes lit up.

The conflict between him and Sun Yingkui had become deeper and deeper, and now it had reached the point of incompatibility.

If Sun Yingkui can be brought down through this incident, of course it would be great.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect a warrior to be so sinister and vicious, but I like it." Lin Shiguo patted Yuan Chenfeng on the shoulder and praised him.

However, Yuan Chenfeng was not ashamed at all, but instead felt proud. He said with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, Lieutenant General, you are so complimentary. I am just solving your problems for you."

"Okay, you have a bright future. I will definitely put in a good word for you in front of the Commander-in-Chief."

Yuan Chenfeng was very excited when he heard this. He raised his hands and expressed thanks: "Thank you very much, Commander-in-Chief, for your support."

You must know that except for meeting Wei Hongbin a few times when he was tipping off the news, Yuan Chenfeng never saw Wei Hongbin again after entering the city.

This is hard to accept for Yuan Chenfeng, who has an increasingly strong desire for power.

After all, if you want to be successful in the county today, you must get Wei Hongbin's approval.

Although Lin Shiguo did not have direct command over Sun Yingkui, as Wei Hongbin's confidant, it was extremely easy for him to do this.

So before evening, an order was passed to Sun Yingkui, ordering him to handle the Zhao Ya matter within three days.

After receiving the order, Sun Yingkui stood there for a long time.

Although the order was stamped with Wei Hongbin's seal, Sun Yingkui understood that it should have been written by Lin Shiguo.

After all, the cavalry captain who died on the street today was from Lin Shiguo.

And the reason why he did this was very simple, just to put himself in a dilemma.

Either capture Zhao Ya and bring him to justice, which would completely put an end to Sun Yingkui's idea of ​​peacefully resolving the conflict between the two parties.

Or just ignore this matter and lose your status in Wei Hongbin's heart.

No matter what I do, this is a dead end with no solution, which can be described as vicious.

Sun Yingkui sighed, silently put away the official document, turned around and left.

At the same time, this controversy is continuing to ferment. Although many people dare not discuss it publicly, they privately agree with Zhao Ya's approach.

There is no other reason than that the cavalry under Wei Hongbin have been too rampant recently.

Stealing men and dominating women, bullying and dominating the market, he is a model of all kinds of evil.

But just because they are powerful, ordinary people dare not speak out.

In fact, not to mention ordinary people, even these powerful and powerful families in the past can only swallow their anger.

The emergence of this incident made many people see the light.

Zhu family.

The usually bustling and bustling mansion is now deserted, and even most of its servants have disappeared.

There were dead branches and leaves everywhere on the corridor, and no one was cleaning it, making it look very desolate.

Zhu Zihao was sitting in the hall, drinking tea.

The tea is loose tea that costs three taels of silver a bag. It tastes bitter and astringent. In the past, not to mention Zhu Zihao, even his stewards would not drink this.

But now Zhu Zihao was drinking happily, and his face, which had obviously lost weight, was full of relief.

Zhu Chengwan didn't have this certainty and was pacing back and forth in the hall excitedly.

"Okay, okay, the killing was so good. This time it made me feel bad."

Zhu Chengwan muttered as he walked.

Seeing this, Zhu Zihao put down his tea cup and said, "Okay, stop turning around. It makes me dizzy."

Zhu Chengwan stopped, but still said to his father very excitedly.

"Dad, is this the time you said is coming soon?"

"Well, although it still lacks some heat, it should be almost there. It's tens of thousands!"

"Dad, what's wrong?"

"You will change into my servant's clothes later, then take this stack of gold tickets and go out from the back door, go to Dingtai Martial Arts School, and hand them over to Zhao Ya personally."

As he spoke, Zhu Zihao took out a thick stack of gold tickets from his arms.

Zhu Chengwan's eyes widened when he saw it.

"You...haven't our family been emptied out? Where did you get the golden ticket?"

Zhu Zihao chuckled, "It's a joke, I've been running the family for so many years, how can I not leave a few backup options?"

No wonder Zhu Chengwan was so shocked, because the Zhu family has indeed been hollowed out now.

Because since Wei Hongbin entered the city, the Zhu family has become a fat sheep. Wei Hongbin and his men have been plucking away the wool, and as a result they have become bald.

Nowadays, even Zhu Zihao cannot afford to hire servants, and even Zhu Zihao has to eat rice bran.

This tragic situation has also attracted the sighs of outsiders.

From this one can imagine Zhu Chengwan's surprise when he saw this pile of gold tickets.

He took the stack of golden tickets that still had body temperature on them. Although he didn't click them, he knew they were definitely worth a lot, so he said with some heartache.

"Dad, you don't have to give so much. At least you can leave some to improve your life."

"Go if you are told, there is so much nonsense." Zhu Zihao glared and scolded.

Zhu Chengwan didn't dare to say anything, so he had to follow Zhu Zihao's instructions, change into a servant's clothes, then put the gold ticket in his pocket and slipped out through the back door.

After he left, Zhu Zihao continued to drink tea happily.

In fact, only he knew that the pile of gold tickets given to Zhu Chengwan was only half of his small treasury, and the remaining half was hidden by him in a very hidden place. After this incident, it would be the capital for the Zhu family's turnaround.

But he didn't dare to show it, and even deliberately acted so miserable in order to dispel the greed of Wei Hongbin and others.

But when it came to giving money to Zhao Ya, he was extremely generous.

Because this is not a bribe, but an investment, an investment related to the future of the Zhu family.

It's worth whatever money you spend on it.

This is why he sent his only son Zhu Chengwan there.

You have to get familiar with it first.

Just when the Zhu family was making moves, an unexpected guest came to Dingtai Martial Arts Hall.

Shang Luoluo chatted and laughed with Meng Shiwen for a while, then walked up to Zhao Ya and looked him up and down.

"Why do you look at me like this?" Zhao Ya was a little confused.

Shang Luoluo chuckled, "I'm not doing anything, I just want to see what the person who dares to defeat Wei Hongbin's men in the street looks like."

Zhao Ya also smiled, "Have you finished reading?"

"finish watching."

"How about it?"

"Very handsome." Shang Luoluo said with a charming smile.

After hearing these words, Miao Shaocheng, who was not far away, had a sad look on his face.

Xu De sighed slightly when he saw this.

Of course he knew what the third senior brother was thinking, but looking at Shang Luoluo with a bright smile, Xu De knew it very well.

Such a woman is definitely not something Third Senior Brother can control.

Maybe only people like my junior brother can surrender.

Zhao Ya naturally noticed the strange look on Miao Shaocheng's face and couldn't help but sigh.

He had been hiding behind the crowd just now because he was afraid of such an embarrassing scene.

But unfortunately, when he met Shang Luoluo, the third senior brother, who was usually very thick-skinned and talkative, suddenly became introverted.

Hiding far away, let alone coming up to say hello, he didn't even dare to look at Shang Luoluo.

"When you come to our martial arts studio, you shouldn't just come here to compliment me on how handsome I am." Zhao Ya stopped thinking about these things and asked.

"It's something. I got a piece of news. During this period, Wei Hongbin sent people to contact many martial arts schools in private."

After finishing speaking, Shang Luoluo looked at Zhao Ya, wanting to see his reaction.

Unexpectedly, there was no look of surprise on Zhao Ya's face.

"Well, I understand, thank you Miss Luoluo."

"Hey, why did you react like this?" Shang Luoluo asked confused.

Zhao Ya laughed dumbly, "Then how do you think I should react?"

"At least you should look a little surprised or angry. You make me feel unfulfilled." Shang Luoluo said.

"Is this worthy of surprise? In fact, since Wei Hongbin has been standing still, I guessed that he would do this. As for the anger..."

Zhao Ya said calmly: "Actually, it would be a good thing if these martial arts schools really defected to the past. After all, it is better to be bribed by interests at this time than to stab you in the back at the critical moment."

Shang Luoluo looked straight at Zhao Ya, and after a long time he sighed softly: "Sometimes, I really want to peel off your skin and see if there is a scheming old man living in your body."

"Are you praising me for being smart or are you trying to undermine my insidiousness?" Zhao Ya chuckled.

"What do you think?"

"I think you must be praising me." Zhao Ya said seriously.

"Narcissistic." Shang Luoluo laughed and cursed.

"Remember to give me the list of martial arts schools that you have contacted with Wei Hongbin later," Zhao Ya said seriously.

"Don't you care?"

"Nonsense, I have to know who they are so I can take precautions in advance."

Shang Luoluo gave the list to Zhao Ya. Zhao Ya took a look at it and then handed it to Shen Dao.

After reading it, Shen Dao looked a little solemn.

"so much?"

"It's expected." Zhao Ya said.

"After all, for most martial arts schools, as long as Wei Hongbin promises not to harass them, they will naturally choose to sit on the fence and remain neutral."

"Then what should we do?" Shen Dao asked.

"Actually, I have to thank Wei Hongbin, because as long as a martial arts school does not appear on the list, it means that they will be our strongest allies."

"Contact them, and then work together. Even if we can't destroy Wei Hongbin, we will at least turn the world upside down." Zhao Ya said coldly.

Everyone was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"Shaocheng Xu De and I will contact these martial arts schools." Shen Dao volunteered.

"Okay, move quickly. Because I think Wei Hongbin will take action soon."

Zhao Ya certainly didn't beat up the cavalry captain in the street today just to vent his anger or establish his authority.

But testing.

If Wei Hongbin gets angry and sends his men to deal with him, it will prove that he is not ready yet.

Therefore, it is necessary to maintain the situation in this way.

But now he still turns a deaf ear and has no intention of taking any serious action against him.

This can only prove that his chess game is almost complete. When he is about to make a general, he naturally does not need to pay attention to a pawn crossing the river.

Zhao Ya could even imagine Wei Hongbin's contempt after hearing the news.

Zhao Ya just sneered silently at this.

Sometimes, a small pawn crossing the river can make the old commander unable to escape.

Shang Luo looked at Zhao Ya with great interest. When she noticed the sneer on the corner of his mouth, she finally couldn't help but speak.

"My father asked me to give you a message. He told you not to act impulsively. Now the government office where Wei Hongbin lives is loose outside and tight inside. He can't even enter the second hall. Obviously Wei Hongbin has opened his pockets, so Waiting for any warrior who dares to enter and assassinate to fall into the trap."
