The Zhou residence was located in the east of Cangzhou City. It was a very large residence. The guards at the entrance were leaning against the wall and chatting in boredom. Suddenly, they saw people rushing over from both sides of the street corner. Before they could react, the other party had already rushed to their side.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to shout, the person opposite him had already raised the scabbard and slammed it against his mouth.
This hit caused blood to flow, and a few of his teeth to fall out. He also received a kick and was pressed to the ground.
The two groups of people were also very fast. After subduing the guards, they immediately rushed in.
In the carriage, Wang Zhong saw this scene and smiled to Xing Shangzhi, who was beside him. "The Imperial Bodyguard's hands are quite nimble.
"That's right!"
Xing Shangzhi smiled and said, "Those are our people. They have all killed rebels before. This time, I brought all the best people out of the capital!" As he said this, Xing Shangzhi glanced outside and said, "Let's go down and take a look as well!"
Wang Zhong nodded and said with a smile, "Alright, let's go down and take a look as well."
Just as the two of them got out of the carriage, the sounds of killing rang out from the Zhou residence. The two of them looked at each other and laughed. "That's right. A salt smuggler wouldn't be called a salt smuggler if they didn't raise some desperadoes."
Wang Zhong said with some hesitation, "There won't be any problems, right?
We only have about 200 people. "
"That's quite a lot!"
Xing Shangzhi smiled and said, "We're not killing Tatars or Japanese pirates. These people are enough."
Wang Zhong still had a lingering fear in his heart. They had just entered the city and raided two places, but they had already fought twice.
He had originally thought that 200 people was quite a lot, but from the looks of it now, it was still not enough!
"Eunuch Wang, don't worry. We don't have many people, but we still have the Imperial Bodyguard."
Seeing Wang Zhong's worried expression, Xing Shangzhi smiled and said, "The Imperial Bodyguard has more than 1,000 people, and they are all from the capital. In front of an army, these people are like chickens and dogs."
Wang Zhong felt that Xing Shangzhi had been influenced by Cao Yikui and viewed everyone as chickens and dogs.
This time, the battle lasted longer than the one at the grain store. It seemed to be more exciting, but it eventually calmed down.
When Wang Zhong and Xing Shangzhi walked in, there were more than 30 corpses piled up in the courtyard.
In fact, it wasn't easy to find so many people who dared to fight against the Imperial Bodyguard in Dongchang.
Looking at the servants and bodyguards who were pushed to the side, Wang Zhong said, "Keep an eye on them. The rest of you, go search the house!"
Immediately, the Imperial Bodyguard and Dongchang's soldiers began to move. The entire Zhou Family was thrown into chaos.
Wang Zhong glanced at Xing Shangzhi and said with a smile, "Let's go take a look at Zhou Feng's study room.
Oh right, get the Zhou Clan's Master here as well. Maybe they know something. "
After all, they had killed so many people, and no one dared to resist anymore.
Very quickly, the people of the Zhou family were pressed to the front of the study. The leader was a woman in her forties. She was dressed very luxuriously. This should be Zhou Feng's wife.
Behind her were a few young people, two young girls and one young man.
"Sir, this is Zhou Feng's wife, Lady Qian. He is Zhou Feng's son, and these two are Zhou Feng's daughters."
The Dongchang soldier introduced the two of them and then retreated to the side.
Wang Zhong nodded and looked at Lady Qian. He said with a smile, "Why bother? Lady Qian is gentle and virtuous, her children are obedient and sensible, and she doesn't lack wealth. Why did she have to commit crimes? In the end, she broke up her family."
"Lady Qian, you don't want to see your daughter die with your husband, do you?"
Lady Qian raised her head and looked at Wang Zhong. She smiled bitterly and said, "Eunuch, please understand. I really don't know anything about my husband. He wouldn't tell a woman like me about his business. I wonder what crime my husband has committed?"
Wang Zhong shook his head and pointed to Xing Shangzhi, who was not far away. He said, "Do you see that bald man? He's from the Imperial Bodyguard."
"You should have heard of the Imperial Bodyguard. Have you thought about what would happen to your children if they were to fall into the hands of the Imperial Bodyguard?
Look at your two daughters. They are as beautiful as flowers and jade. Are they betrothed to anyone? "
Lady Qian broke down when she heard this. She knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to Wang Zhong.
"Eunuch, it's all my fault. They're innocent. Eunuch, we really don't know anything!"
Lady Qian cried as she spoke to Wang Zhong. Thinking of her children in prison, Lady Qian was scared out of her wits.
Xing Shangzhi glared at Wang Zhong in dissatisfaction. How could anyone talk about the Imperial Bodyguard like that?
Did the Imperial Bodyguard have a bad reputation while the reputation of Dongchang was good?
"Sir, let's suppress them first!"
Xing Shangzhi glanced at the four trembling people and said directly, "Let's ask Zhou Feng. He's the one who knows. There's no point in making things difficult for a few women and children."
Wang Zhong also rolled his eyes at Xing Shangzhi. Why did this eunuch like to make things difficult for women and children?
However, Wang Zhong also knew that Xing Shangzhi's words made sense. He nodded and said, "That's good too. Then let's suppress them in the Zhou residence for the time being. Let someone keep an eye on them and make sure nothing goes wrong."
Regardless of whether it was the Imperial Bodyguard or Dongchang, there were no prisons in Cangzhou. As for the Cangzhou Prefecture's prison … Haha, they didn't dare to lock them up.
They were afraid that if they were sent there, they would turn into corpses before daybreak the next day.
The two of them left the Zhou residence, got on the carriage, and headed straight for the imperial envoy's residence.
When the two of them returned, there were already a few people at the entrance. However, all of them had ashen faces, as if they had nothing left to live for.
Xing Shangzhi glanced at the Imperial Bodyguard guarding the entrance and asked, "Are they here to report the news?"
"Yes, sir. These people are here to report the news." The Imperial Bodyguard didn't dare to be negligent and hurriedly nodded.
Wang Zhong and Xing Shangzhi didn't look at the people who were here to report the news. Instead, they walked straight into the imperial envoy's residence.
When they arrived at the backyard of the imperial envoy's residence, the banquet was still going on, and the atmosphere seemed to be quite good. However, when the two of them entered, the atmosphere instantly disappeared.
Everyone stopped talking and turned to look at the two of them.
As the host, Zhizhou Yao Renji reacted the fastest. He hurriedly stood up and said, "So it's Eunuch Wang and Captain Xing. Quickly take a seat, quickly take a seat!" As he spoke, he even came over and made an inviting gesture.
Xing Shangzhi smiled at Yao Renji and said, "There's no need for a meal. We're here to look for someone!" As he spoke, he gave a look to the Imperial Bodyguard behind him.
The four Imperial Bodyguards charged in like wolves and tigers and came straight to Zhou Feng's side. Without any explanation, they pulled Zhou Feng up. Ignoring the gazes of the others, they pushed Zhou Feng out.
Zhou Feng struggled to shout, but his mouth was already gagged.
