Raid

Chapter 152 Variables
It was Zhou Shuzhan who came in a hurry to stop Rong Zhi and Zhang Bingsheng from fighting.He came with a large number of people. The prefect of Zhenyuan was dismissed from his official position because of the breach of the embankment.

The imperial court made a compromise. Anyway, An Xia Zecheng was close to Tongjiang, so he simply let Zhou Shuzhan hold the post of state capital in both places.

Zhang Bingsheng didn't expect Rong Zhi to be so difficult, and he didn't know what the group of people in the post house were doing.He clearly promised to come to help after the food was taken away, but now there is no sign of anyone. Does this mean that he can't even take down an "empty city"?
And his own situation is not much better, although Rong Zhi's manpower is not as good as his, but Rong Zhi's skill is surprisingly good.Rong Zhi seemed to be very aware of his own disadvantages, and made up his mind from the very beginning, to capture the thief first.

Simply, Zhou Fu Yin came, but what he didn't expect was that not only Zhou Shuzhan came, but also Gu Lingxu in black armor.

Zhou Shuzhan didn't expect to meet Gu Lingxu at first, he met this person outside the city by chance.He asked Gu Lingxu why he came to Anxia County suddenly. Although Gu Lingxu didn't tell him, he also revealed in his words that he came for Rongzhi.

Rong Zhi and Gu Lingxu have always had old grievances. Gu Lingxu looked down on Rong Zhi from the bottom of his heart, and he didn't think that Rong Zhi would really benefit the country and the people. It's not surprising that Gu Lingxu would come from afar.

He thought about it, and it was only beneficial and harmless for tonight's affairs to invite Gu Lingxu to come with him.After all, Gu Lingxu hated Rong Zhi to death, so he brought Gu Lingxu here.

When Zhou Shuzhan rushed over, Rong Zhi was capturing Zhang Bingsheng.

"Rong Xunkan, what are you doing?" Zhou Shuzhan's eyes showed unkindness.

Before Rong Zhi could speak, Zhang Bingsheng couldn't wait to speak and said: "Minister Zhou, Rong Zhi has smuggled with bandits, guarded himself and robbed himself, and even committed murder in the posthouse. Please don't worry about the lower officials, and kill this thief quickly."

He felt uneasy in his heart, and the movement at the post house gradually became quieter, but he didn't think that their people got it. If they really got it, why didn't they come to help?
As long as they kill people as soon as possible, even if there is any mistake in the posthouse, they will be able to suppress it with their joint efforts.

Rong Zhi didn't say anything, his gaze inadvertently passed over the young man in black armor beside Zhou Shuzhan.

Gu Lingxu's eyes were complicated, and when he saw Rong Zhi looking at him, he still nodded slightly.

"Rong Zhi, catch him before you hang up!" Zhou Shuzhan understood Zhang Bingsheng's hint, and he glanced sharply at Rong Zhi.

Gu Lingxu raised his hand, and the soldiers he brought drew their knives at Rong Zhi at his command.

"Xiangchenghou, Zhou Fuyin, I am the official of the imperial court. Even if you want to convict, you should let me distinguish one thing from the other? There is no reason for you to arrest it privately. I came here under the imperial decree and was hand-picked by the Holy Majesty. The inspector censor, inspecting the state capital on behalf of the emperor, even if the official position is not high, he will not allow others to be presumptuous." Rong Zhi's expression was not good.

"Hey——" Gu Lingxu sneered, and said coldly: "A mere inspector dares to pull the flag of the emperor, you must be too serious about yourself."

"You are arrested without a fight. After the matter calms down, I will distinguish it for you. I am afraid that you will be guilty of being a thief and refuse to accept surrender." Zhou Shuzhan said coldly.

Rong Zhi couldn't help sneering, if he was really captured at this time, it would undoubtedly be a sheep in the mouth of a tiger. If he really fell into Zhou Shuzhan's hands, he might not know how he died in the end.

Seeing that he still resisted, Zhou Shuzhan was not angry but happy. It is always more difficult to kill Rong Zhi inside the prison than outside.

Just when Zhou Shuzhan was about to order the encirclement and suppression of Rongzhi, a girl in coir raincoat suddenly descended from the sky. She made a quick move, Zhou Shuzhan was startled, and accidentally fell off the horse.

Just when he thought he was about to fall to the ground, the girl in coir raincoat suddenly grabbed his collar. Before he could react, a broken sword was already on his neck.

Rong Zhi also restrained Zhang Bingsheng in his hands, and when he saw Li Sheng approaching, he smiled lightly.

His original idea was to let Gu Lingxu come to the rescue, but he just thought of Gu Lingxu and his own identity and standpoint, and it would be difficult for Gu Lingxu to help him in the open, so he thought of such a way.Ning Rushuang held Zhou Shuzhan hostage in exchange for the opportunity to "negotiate" with Gu Lingxu.

Everything is to fool the Zhou family and Guan Zhi who is thousands of miles away.

"Who are you? How dare you hold a state capital hostage?" Zhou Shuzhan snapped. Although he was taken aback, there was no fear on his face.

Gu Lingxu also became vigilant. He looked at the girl who was sitting astride the horse and holding Zhou Shuzhan hostage.

Although this plan was included in the letter that Rong Zhi sent to him at the beginning, he was still very surprised when it was actually implemented.

Because...he didn't even notice this girl before she made a move.

It can be seen that this person's martial arts are extremely high.

Presumably this is the elder sister of the second lady Ning, the powerful lady Ning.Ning Rujin is already strong in martial arts, but it is still within his acceptable range.

But Ning Rushuang was different.

There is indeed a heroine named Ning Rushuang in the Jianghu. I heard that her martial arts are very good, but she doesn't take many shots, and no one knows her identity, so no one cares.

I didn't expect to be such a master, but I can make gestures another day.

But now is not the time to think about that.

"Don't worry, Mrs. Ning is my guard. Just now, County Magistrate Zhang led me out of the post on the pretext of the people outside the city. Once someone broke into the posthouse and tried to steal food and grass. Now it seems that it makes sense to be prepared." Rong Zhi gave Zhang Bingsheng a cold look.

Zhou Shuzhan was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly understood something. He looked at Zhang Bingsheng, only to see that he was deeply surprised, obviously he did not expect Rong Zhi to say such a thing.

Zhou Shuzhan glanced at the black-armored young man beside him, and instantly regretted going with him. Since Rong Zhi can say such a thing, it is obvious that he has a backhand.If he hadn't been with Gu Lingxu, then it would be useless even if Rong Zhi saw through everything.

In such a world, it is difficult for justice to defeat power.

So what if Rong Zhi sees everything?In such a world, without powerful protection, he could easily silence Rong Zhi.

But he brought Gu Lingxu with him.

Gu Lingxu was young, hated eunuchs to death, but cared for the common people sincerely.This matter really needs to be revealed to the world, no matter how much Gu Lingxu hates Rong Zhi, he will make it happen.
