Chapter 353 Trust
Zuo Cheng rushed forward with his men, and took the lead, swinging his stick towards Deng Fei.

Deng Fei was wondering who these people were, but when he saw that they were coming at him aggressively, he quickly fought back.

In an instant, a fight broke out at the ferry. Others who were about to board the ferry or were on the boat were frightened by the scene and quickly hid or ran away.

Seeing this situation, the ship that Deng Fei and his crew were about to board did not wait any longer and had to escape quickly.

Therefore, Deng Fei, who originally wanted to have someone take Wu Ping and the other two on board first, was also depressed. He had to have someone guard the two of them closely, and the others followed him to deal with these people first.

Deng Fei saw that they were also well-trained and were not letting go. He was also curious. He dodged Zuo Cheng's stick and stabbed with his sword, asking, "Who are you?"

"Stop talking nonsense! Leave the person here!" Zuo Cheng shouted and swung the stick with great force.

Seeing that they came for Wu Ping and the other two, Deng Fei's face turned cold. He no longer held back and drew his sword.

More than twenty swords were unsheathed, with the sound of flashing swords and sabers. The people who had just been hiding were so scared that they dared not hide anymore. Run quickly, or someone will die!
Due to the disparity in numbers and the superiority in weapons, Zuo Cheng and his men were clearly struggling to win.

Deng Fei also wanted to end the battle quickly. He blocked Zuo Cheng's stick with his sword and flew up to kick Zuo Cheng.

Zuo Cheng was unable to dodge and was kicked. Before he could turn over, the sword came in front of him and was about to pierce his chest.

At this moment, a figure flew over, deflected the sword and fought with Deng Fei.

It was Hu Zhen.

Later, Shi Liu and the hired escorts also arrived. Seeing this, Shi Liu said to the escort leader, "Capture these gray-clothed men!"

Lifeng Escort Agency accepts all kinds of escorts, no matter whether it is escorting items or escorting living people. This is not the first time they have helped to capture people, and the employer pays a lot of money, so naturally they have to give their all if they accept this escort.

At that moment, the escort leader rushed forward with a dozen escorts.

With the addition of Pomegranate's men, the number of people on the field now far exceeds that of the men in gray, and the situation changes instantly.

Moreover, Hu Zhen's movements were nimble and his punches were powerful. He alone was able to hold Deng Fei back. The remaining men in gray were naturally not as skilled as Deng Fei, and within a quarter of an hour, they were captured by the escort agency and Liang Zheng and his men.

Hu Zhen also successfully took down Deng Fei after hitting him with a punch.

The escorts swiftly tied up Deng Fei and the others like dumplings.

Wu Ping and Wu Jin were also successfully rescued.

However, looking at these people who were captured, Shi Liu also felt it was difficult to deal with.

Killing them would be too cruel, but if we let them go, they would definitely come back with helpers to chase us.

After thinking it over, Shi Liu simply added escorts and asked the escort leader to send them to Daming Prefecture.

The leader of the escort took over the escort and set off with his men without stopping. Two days later, they arrived at Daming Prefecture.

One certainly couldn't just casually enter the city, so the address Shi Liu gave was a farm owned by Liu Dong's family outside the city.

The escort leader sent the person over with a letter. The head of Dazhang Village was also puzzled, so he immediately sent someone to deliver the letter to the master's house.

At that time, Mr. Liu, who was flattered to entertain a distinguished guest in his mansion, was also puzzled when he heard that Shi Liu had asked the escort agency to send more than 20 people to his farm.

He opened the letter out of curiosity and his expression changed slightly.

"Master, I heard that Miss Shi Liu went to Xiangning County to prepare for the establishment of a new workshop. Did something happen?" Liu Quan on the side was also curious.

Liu Dongjia said with a complicated expression: "She said that she caught a group of rebels and asked me to help send them to the government."

"Rebels?" Liu Quan was also surprised. "Before, I killed bandits. Now I can meet rebels when I go to Xiangning County? The people around this Pomegranate girl are really interesting. However, how come there are rebels in Xiangning County? I haven't heard of any rebels? Why didn't she just take them to Xiangning County Government Office, but hired an escort agency to send them to you for help?" Liu Dongjia's eyes deepened slightly. "Because they are not ordinary rebels. She said that these people are the remnants of the previous dynasty."

Liu Quan was even more shocked, his face full of astonishment, "Remnants of the previous dynasty? But since the assassination of the previous emperor, countless rebels have been captured in various places. Weren't these people wiped out long ago? Could it be that they haven't been wiped out yet?"

These are not traitors, they are cockroaches, right? They are inexhaustible.

Thinking of this, Liu Quan became excited again, "My Lord, if it is really the remnant of the previous dynasty, it is just right for the Fifth Prince. You have made a great contribution!"

"What contribution have I made? If it is true, it is also the credit of Shi Liu." How could Liu Dongjia not know what he meant?
Glancing at him, he ordered, "Prepare the car. I will go out of the city to take a look. You stay in the mansion and serve carefully over there. Don't be negligent."

"Don't worry, sir. I understand."

Liu Dongjia hurried out of the city in a carriage and met Shi Liu and his group in front of Dazhang Village.

Shi Liu took care of things on the farm before rushing to the city by boat, which was just in time.

When Liu Dongjia saw Shi Liu, he immediately asked, "Shi Liu, what does the letter you gave me mean? Are there really remnants of the previous dynasty as you said?"

"Mr. Liu, it's not convenient to talk here." said Shi Liu.

Liu Dongjia understood what he meant and immediately invited Shi Liu into the manor. They talked in the study. There were people guarding outside, so there was no need to worry about anyone hearing anything.

There were only Shi Liu and Liu Dongjia in the study. Shi Liu looked at Liu Dongjia intently, "Liu Dongjia, do you believe me?"

Liu Dongjia found it funny, but he answered very seriously: "Of course, you and I have been working together for three years and have long been inseparable partners. Whether it is business interests or personal feelings, I trust you 100%."

He was not lying, if Shi Liu had not already recognized his godfather, he would have wanted to be her godfather. However, since he couldn't be her godfather, he felt that a permanent business partnership was just as solid.

Shi Liu smiled slowly. She naturally knew that Liu Dongjia was trustworthy, and the only one she could trust and had the ability to do so was Liu Dongjia.

The treasure was so great that she didn't dare to keep it all for herself. She just wanted to have a share of it.

After much thought, Liu Dongjia is the most suitable candidate. His business is big and spread all over the country, so it is convenient for him to do anything. He also has Jing'an Marquis Mansion and the Fifth Prince behind him.

It couldn't be better to have connections and a backer.

"Does Mr. Liu know about the Wuzang Secret Records mentioned in the Wujia Village case in Xiangning County?"

Liu Dongjia's eyebrows moved, "I have heard of this, but isn't this Liu Baode's excuse?"

"No, this is true, and it is not something else but a treasure that is rich enough to rival a country." Pomegranate said firmly.

Liu Dongjia's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He quickly raised his hand to stop Shi Liu from talking, "Wait, why are you telling me?"

Shi Liu chuckled, "Because I am the same, I trust Mr. Liu 100%."

Liu Dongjia was startled, then shook his head and laughed, "You, you."

His chest felt warm, extremely warm, because of this trust.

Merchants are profit-driven by nature. He grew up in an environment of intrigue and intrigue. Even his brothers have to settle accounts clearly, let alone outsiders.

He also didn't expect that this little girl who brought him a lot of good luck trusted him so much that she even told him such a thing.

This trust warms people's hearts, but it also feels heavy.

He must not betray this trust and hurt this close friend with whom he has a strong relationship.
