Chapter 7 A Head Worth 2000 Taels of Silver

The night is windy, and a bright moon hangs high.

Dongchang is in charge of detection and investigation, and is also responsible for guarding the palace. Therefore, it was established next to the Donghua Gate of the palace, covering a vast area and heavily guarded.

At this time, all the lights in the capital were turned off, but the East Factory was still brightly lit. From time to time, teams of Dongchang fans equipped with weapons would patrol back and forth with lights on, creating a tense atmosphere that was about to come.

At Zishi, in the governor's mansion of the East Factory, Li Zhong, the deputy governor in a bright yellow python robe, talked eloquently in the living room:

"I entered the palace today, and found out that the emperor may leave the palace in the next few days and go to the Daming Lake to play. At that time, it will be our chance. No matter how much noise there is, it will not reach the ears of the emperor."

"We must seize this opportunity to win over all the officials and stabilize the situation before the emperor returns."

"As soon as the emperor comes back, I will go to the palace to report the news of Eunuch Wan's death, and take over as the governor by the way!"

In the hall, besides Li Zhong, the deputy governor, and several high-level officials of the East Factory, there were four figures equipped with weapons, standing quietly beside Li Zhong.

These four are the only remaining four innate masters under Li Zhong's command.

In addition to these four people, there were originally two geniuses under Li Zhong's command, and they also held positions in Dongchang, but when they went out to do business a few days ago, those two died in the hands of Zhao Huaian, so now only Down these four.

Last night at Dajue Temple, Zhao Huai'an came to kill them. Before the four of them could make a move, Yuhuatian came, so there was no use for them for the time being.

But now back in the East Factory, in order to prevent the internal turmoil in the East Factory from happening again, Li Zhong took the four of them with him wherever he went, and he cherished his life very much.

After listening to Li Zhong's plan, several people in the hall nodded in agreement.

Then one person suddenly said: "I heard that Zhao Jingzhong and Liu Xi have transferred back the people who were stationed outside today. Could it be that they have heard the news of Eunuch Wan's death?"

"So what if I heard about it?"

Li Zhong snorted coldly: "A remnant Wei Zhongxian, a dog slave from the Clothes Bureau, is also worthy of competing with me for the position of governor?"

"After the emperor leaves the palace, I will clean up these two obstructive guys..."

Before the words fell, a shout came from outside: "Eunuch! Eunuch..."

The people in the hall suddenly turned their heads and looked outside the door.

Li Zhong also frowned, and slapped the teacup on the table: "How many times have I said, call me the governor!"

The little eunuch who ran in from the living room twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard the words, but he didn't dare to answer back, and cupped his hands and said, "Master, the boss Zhao Jingzhong brought a group of people here, I don't know what he wants to do..."

"Ok?"

Everyone's expression changed slightly.

Li Zhong narrowed his eyes slightly, and said coldly: "Zhao Jingzhong? Come here now, what does he want to do?!"

"Of course... fuck you!"

The sound of dense footsteps outside the door was heard, and then the door was kicked open from the outside, and the two young eunuchs who guarded the door were beaten to vomit blood and fell to the side.

Zhao Jingzhong, who was dressed in a red python robe, strode in and looked coldly at the people in the hall.

Behind him, followed a group of figures with sabers and sabers, among them were several people, wearing flying fish suits with embroidered spring knives hanging from their waists, they were obviously members of the Jinyiwei.

With such a posture, one can tell at a glance that the visitor is not good.

The faces of Li Zhong and the others became gloomy, staring at the leader, Zhao Jingzhong.

"Zhao Jingzhong, are there any rules for breaking into the governor's mansion late at night? Do you want to rebel?!"

Li Zhong asked coldly.

"Heh... You have not become the governor yet, but you have regarded the governor's mansion as your residence, and you still call yourself the governor? Li Zhong, you are a dog who only became the deputy governor by flattery, are you worthy of it?" ?!"

Zhao Jingzhong held a spear wrapped in black cloth and said with a sneer.

Hearing this, a murderous intent flashed in Li Zhong's eyes, and he understood why Zhao Jingzhong had come.

His gaze swept behind Zhao Jingzhong, besides Zhao Jingzhong's junior sister Wei Ting, he also saw an acquaintance in it.

"Lu Wenzhao, you dare to meddle in the affairs of Dongchang, do you want to die?!"

Li Zhong looked at a man behind Zhao Jingzhong who was wearing a brocade guard official uniform and holding a big Yulin saber, and asked.

There are only fourteen thousand households in Jinyiwei, and Lu Wenzhao is a thousand household in Fusi of Beizhen. He has a lot of dealings with Dongchang on weekdays, so Li Zhong naturally knows them.

"My father-in-law is serious. Lu is just a small household. Mr. Zhao has an invitation, so Lu dare not not come."

Lu Wenzhao said with an apologetic smile, in a very humble tone.

"This is an internal matter of the East Factory. It has nothing to do with you. If you retreat now, I can pretend it never happened!"

Li Zhong said threateningly.

Lu Wenzhao laughed again and again: "Elder-in-law, forgive me. As a big boss, Eunuch Zhao is Lu's superior. The superior has orders, and Lu dare not disobey."

Li Zhong's nose is crooked, co-author, if you don't dare to offend the big boss, you dare to offend the vice-governor, right?

Li Zhong looked at Lu Wenzhao coldly, and said, "Those who participated in this matter tonight, I will slowly settle the matter with you."

Lu Wenzhao didn't care either, just smiled and said nothing.

"Are you finished with your last words?"

Zhao Jingzhong spoke coldly, lifted the cloth covering the gun in his hand, and a double-ended spear slowly appeared.

The atmosphere was instantly tense.

Li Zhong stared at Zhao Jingzhong: "Zhao Jingzhong, you should know what will happen if you commit the following offense. Even if I don't kill you, I won't spare you when Eunuch Wan comes back!"

Zhao Jingzhong sneered: "You still use Wan Yulou to suppress me? Do you really think that no one will know about Wan Yulou's death if you don't tell me?"

Li Zhong's face changed slightly: "I don't know what you are talking about!"

"Is it useful to play dumb?"

Zhao Jingzhong sneered and said, "That's all for Wan Yulou. With you as a waste, what qualifications do you have to succeed the governor?"

"Go!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Jingzhong swung the spear in his hand, and went straight to kill Li Zhong.

Li Zhong, who was standing at the entrance of the hall, saw that Zhao Jingzhong had made up his mind to kill, and knew that it would be useless to talk too much, so he stopped talking nonsense and waved coldly: "Kill!"

The four people behind him rushed out in an instant, with majestic momentum, blocked Li Zhong's front, and rushed towards Zhao Jingzhong.

clang-

There was a sound of drawing a knife, and the people brought by Zhao Jingzhong at the gate also shot.

Wearing a black tights and holding a Western sword, Wei Ting went straight to a congenital master on Li Zhong's side, his true energy was revealed, and he had reached the early innate stage.

The four Jinyiwei, plus Lu Wenzhao, are all innate realm.

One of them was a young man wearing a flying fish suit and holding a larger embroidered spring knife. His aura was even stronger than Lu Wenzhao's.

Although the other two Jin Yiwei were only in the middle stage of innate talent, they teamed up and suppressed one of them in an instant.

On the contrary, Lu Wenzhao, who is a thousand households, is the most difficult, and he is well-known, so he is facing Li Zhong's strongest innate master, and he is beaten back again and again by his opponent after only two or three moves.

As a last resort, Lu Wenzhao had no choice but to yell to the side for help: "Shen Lian, you deal with him!"

When the man named Shen Lian heard the words, he didn't say much, and beheaded his opponent with a single blow, and came to reinforce Lu Wenzhao.

Lu Wenzhao breathed a sigh of relief, took advantage of the situation and withdrew from the battle, and faced Shen Lian's opponent.

For a moment, the sound of clanging and fighting in the courtyard continued.

The rest of the people stood on both sides to watch the battle, one was because it was not necessary for the time being, and the other was that they couldn't intervene.

The rest of the people on both sides are only at the acquired level, the innate level of fighting, they can't last a few moves even if they go in, and if they are not careful, they are easy to be accidentally injured.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that the four innate masters on Li Zhong's side have gradually fallen into a disadvantage. If this continues, it is only a matter of time before they lose.

"Deputy Governor!"

Several East Factory officials at the entrance of the hall looked at Li Zhong one after another, with anxious expressions on their faces.

Li Zhong's face was gloomy, and he no longer hesitated, and said coldly: "Send a signal!"

When one person heard the words, he immediately walked to the side, took out a firework and held it up, unplugged the fuse, and a bright flame shot straight into the sky, illuminating the night sky.

After a while, dense footsteps suddenly sounded outside, approaching the yard rapidly.

In the arena, Zhao Jingzhong saw that he would not be able to deal with the opponent for a while, and saw Li Zhong send a distress signal. He was very anxious. Taking advantage of the gap between the fights, he turned to look at the crowd at the gate, and shouted: "Ding Xiu, you still don't make a move!" !"

"Got it, what's the rush?"

Following the lazy voice, a man dressed as a warrior with a ponytail and a big imperial saber on his shoulder walked out slowly, looking straight at Li Zhong at the entrance of the hall.

"There are still masters?!"

Li Zhong's face changed slightly, he sensed the danger instantly, and retreated behind several East Factory officials without any trace.

"Ta Tata..."

"kill--"

At this time, the reinforcements called by Li Zhong outside the door also arrived, densely packed with masters from Dongchang, swarming up.

Seeing this, Ding Xiu didn't hesitate anymore, and waved his hands to the others brought by Zhao Jingzhong: "No, I'll leave these to you."

"Clang-crack-"

The next second, the long knife in his hand suddenly came out of its sheath, and rushed towards Li Zhong, the deputy governor at the entrance of the hall.

"Stop him!"

Li Zhong's expression changed drastically, and he immediately turned around and ran to the back.

The few remaining officials from the East Factory were at a loss, but they also had kung fu. Although they were not congenital, the weakest ones also had third-rate skills, so they could only bite the bullet and face Ding Xiu.

They thought they could last a few rounds, but they never expected that they would far underestimate Ding Xiu's martial arts. In the blink of an eye, four of them were beheaded by Ding Xiu, and the remaining two were scared out of their wits. He turned and ran away without looking back.

Ding Xiu didn't chase them either, his goal was very clear, and he rushed straight to Li Zhong in the hall.

Li Zhong was overtaken within a few steps, so he could only turn around to fight, but he was sent flying with just one move. Before he recovered, he saw the shining long knife right in front of him, and he was so frightened that he lost his image. , quickly leaned against the pillar, raised his hand and shouted: "Hold on, I'll give you whatever you want..."

"laugh--"

Before the words fell, the knife flashed, and a large head shot straight into the sky.

Ding Xiu put away the long knife and said lightly: "Sorry, I have professional ethics."

In the courtyard, Zhao Jingzhong, who had been watching Li Zhong's movements, was overjoyed immediately when he saw this, and hurriedly retreated, shouting: "Li Zhong is dead, retreat!"

His mission today is to kill Li Zhong, as long as Li Zhong dies, the rest of the people will not be able to cause any trouble, and the position of governor is already in his pocket!
After hearing this, Lu Wenzhao and the others immediately pulled back without delay, preparing to evacuate.

But the door was crowded with Dongchang masters who were called by Li Zhong, and they couldn't rush out for a while. In desperation, everyone had to work together to break through.

Ding Xiu was also among the crowd, but his eyes glanced around from time to time, thinking of the agreement with the governor of the West Factory tonight, he was very puzzled.

Don't the people from West Factory come?
"kill--"

At this moment, there was another burst of intensive footsteps outside, followed by the sound of fighting and screams from outside.

Zhao Jingzhong and the others thought that another group of Li Zhong's reinforcements had come. After all, Li Zhong was still the deputy governor and the highest authority in the East Factory, but when they heard the sound of fighting, it was obviously not like it, and they couldn't help feeling a little puzzled.

Only Ding Xiu was overjoyed, remembering the previous agreement with Yu Huatian, the governor of the West Plant, subconsciously aimed at Zhao Jingzhong's head in front, his eyes shining brightly.

This head is worth 2000 taels of silver!
...

 Because it is a comprehensive martial arts world view, some plots and the timeline of characters’ appearance will be changed. I can only gather them together in a way that is as reasonable as possible. If you can’t accept this world view, you can retreat first. , There is no need to stay and curse, thank you for understanding.
