Smuggling Daming

Chapter 358 Zhang Rui Captured

"Do it!" With Fat San's yell, more than 20 warriors hiding in the two small boats suddenly jumped out, holding weapons and surrounded Zhang Rui, Cui Cai and others. Several guards around Rui fought together.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Rui murmured inwardly that it was not good. At this moment, he suddenly realized that because he was too excited just now, he only had a few personal guards with him, and no one else was protecting him. On the other hand, the other party was lying in ambush on the boat. Killed more than 20 people, and the opponent's goal was obviously aimed at him.

In fact, it’s not surprising that Zhang Rui would be fooled. From his point of view, the most he had to guard against was fat third-class people looking for money, and it was also the black and white of later generations. Therefore, the soldiers he arranged mainly guarded the property brought by him, and later traded. He supervised the transportation of grain from time to time, but what he never expected was that the other party's target turned out to be him, the leader of the Zhongqing Army.

It was precisely because of the above miscalculation that Zhang Rui was caught off guard by Fat San's ambush. When he reacted, the guards around him all fell to the ground, and Cui Cai next to him was even more frightened and surrendered. At the same time, there were a few more steel knives on his neck. At this time, the North Korean Chung Ching army finally found out that something was wrong. When they wanted to rush up, they found that their leader was hijacked by the opponent.

"Let go of our general!" A leader of the Zhongqing Army shouted loudly, holding a long knife in his hand but dared not step forward. Behind him was a group of soldiers of the Zhongqing Army who were equally murderous.

"Hey. My boss wants to invite your general to be a guest at home, so please come back!" Fat San held a shield in his hand at this time, only showing his fat head, and shouted to those Zhongqing soldiers who dared not go forward. , Now the mission is successful, but he doesn't dare to take it too seriously, he protects his whole body very well, after all, there are many archers in the Zhongqing army on the opposite side, and he doesn't want to be shot to death when he is about to succeed.

Fat San's original surname is Tang Mingrui, and he is an excellent steward of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce.Entrusted by Zhou Zhong this time, the alias Fat San came to trade with the Zhongqing Army in order to attract the two leaders of the other side. As long as they can catch each other, they can figure out the reason why the Zhongqing Chamber of Commerce attacked the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce fleet. He also planned this operation carefully.Unexpectedly, he caught the opponent's leader in one fell swoop, which made him overjoyed.

The Zhongqing army was afraid that the fat three and others would hurt Zhang Rui, so no one dared to rush forward. Zhang Rui was not a hero who died generously, so he didn't dare to make any big moves at this time.In the end, he could only get on the boat under the hostage of the other party, and then watched the Zhongqing army on the beach getting farther and farther away.

One of the two leaders of the Chung Ching Army was kidnapped.This news has not been spread. First of all, the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce wants to do business with various rebels in North Korea. If it is known that they have arrested the most powerful leader of the Zhongqing Army among them, it may arouse the resentment of the rebels. As for Zhongqing The army himself would not say anything, otherwise it would be too shameful for people to know that his leader was captured under the protection of the army.

So after Qi Yanming received the news that Zhang Rui had been taken away.Immediately blocked the news for the first time, and at the same time had people pretending to be Zhang Rui to be active in the army.At least not for a short time to be discovered.It's just that after Zhang Rui was arrested, Qi Yanming immediately felt the pressure increased, especially in some government affairs. He had no experience at all, which led to some chaos within the Zhongqing Army. After a long time, there will definitely be big troubles.

Zhou Zhong didn't have time to pay attention to the internal affairs of the Zhongqing Army. When he learned that Tang Rui had actually captured one of the two leaders of the Zhongqing Army, he was extremely excited, and immediately ordered Tang Rui to send him back. He wanted to interrogate himself. And Zhou Zhong told Bai Junwan the news as soon as possible.

A month later, Tang Rui finally escorted Zhang Rui to Shuangyu Port by boat, and this time Tang Rui personally led the team, and did not let anyone get close to Zhang Rui along the way. After all, this person attacked the fleet of their Chamber of Commerce However, many people in the Chamber of Commerce died at the hands of the Zhongqing Chamber of Commerce, and the boss was also very annoyed by this, so this person must not have any accidents before being interrogated by the boss.

This is the second time that Zhang Rui has been escorted to Shuangyu Port, and when he thinks about seeing Zhou Zhong and Bai Junwan soon, he wants to die immediately. Unfortunately, Tang Rui is very strict with him and usually takes care of him. It was tightly tied, and it would only be loosened for a while when eating and going to the bathroom, and there were several big men staring at him at any time, which made it impossible for Zhang Rui to ask for death.

Soon Zhang Rui was escorted to Shuangyu Port and locked up in the backyard of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce. Originally, Zhou Zhong’s family lived here, but after Zhou Zhong became the governor of the world, he was also needed to sit in the governor’s mansion, so the whole family was moved. To live in the Governor's Mansion, as for the original residence, it has completely become the residence of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce. The backyard usually stores some documents of the Chamber of Commerce, as well as some valuable goods, etc., and is also used to entertain some important guests. Zhang Rui's His status can barely be regarded as a guest "invited" by the chamber of commerce,

Hearing that the other party had been imprisoned in the chamber of commerce, Zhou Zhong and Bai Junwan came here immediately, passed through several courtyards, and finally came to the small courtyard where Zhang Rui was detained, but they didn't know that the person inside was actually Zhang Rui, after all, Tang Rui didn't interrogate him when he came here, everything was waiting for Zhou Zhong to make a verdict.

Looking at the closed gate and the guards standing in front of it, Zhou Zhong smiled and said to Tang Rui next to him, "Guard Tang, you did a good job this time. I heard that your son failed the provincial examination again?"

Hearing Zhou Zhong's compliment and questioning, Tang Rui immediately bowed and said, "Thank you for the compliment, I should do these things. As for the incompetent son at home, he is really stupid. He has taken the exam four times in a row. But I still haven’t even passed the exam for a scholar, I don’t know if he can pass the exam before I die!”

Hearing Tang Rui's last reprimand for his son's incompetence, Zhou Zhong chuckled lightly and said, "Guard Tang, your son will soon be in his thirties, and it's not an option to continue the exam like this, but the imperial examination is still in progress. In the end, it’s just to be an official. If your son doesn’t dislike it, let him go to the governor’s mansion to be a clerk first. If he performs well in the future, I’ll let him go to the county to be a boss or something. It’s better to take the imperial examination after suffering.”

"Thank you, Mr. Dong!" Hearing Zhou Zhong's words, Tang Rui immediately knelt down and said tremblingly. His son has not even passed the exam since he was a teenager, and this made him, a father, give up Originally, he had already planned to let his son work in the chamber of commerce, but he did not expect that Zhou Zhong would let his son work as a clerk in the governor's mansion. , as long as my son works diligently, he can be promoted to be the head of a county in the future. How could Tang Rui not be excited by this?

Regarding Tang Rui's excited performance, Zhou Zhong smiled slightly, helped him up and encouraged him a few words, and then led Bai Junwan to push open the courtyard door and came to the left wing of the courtyard. Tang Rui went in to have a look, and then Then he invited Zhou Zhong and Bai Junwan to go in, while he personally led people to guard the door.

Zhou Zhong and Bai Junwan pushed open the door and went in, only to find that this wing room had been converted into a simple prison cell, and an iron fence was erected on the north side, and the arrested leader of the Chungcheong Society was in the cell behind the fence, and now the other party His hands were tied to a cross, and his hair was loose and he looked very embarrassed.

"Eh?" Bai Junwan just saw the person imprisoned inside, and immediately let out a small gasp in surprise, because she felt that the figure of the person inside was very familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Zhong turned around and asked softly, he also heard Bai Junwan's voice just now.

"No...it's nothing, I just think this person looks familiar." Bai Junwan replied softly, the hair of Zhang Rui who was imprisoned inside was loose, so Bai Junwan couldn't see his face clearly, so she didn't recognize that this person was Zhang Rui.

However, when Zhang Rui inside heard Bai Junwan's voice, he couldn't help trembling all over his body. If possible, he would rather die than see Bai Junwan now. Unfortunately, he has no choice now, so he can only lower his head as much as possible Don't let Bai Junwan see her embarrassed appearance.

"Don't pretend to be dead. I know you haven't been tortured at all. Lift your head and let me see. Who on earth has the guts to attack our fleet?" Zhou Zhong turned around at this moment. Facing Zhang Rui inside, he was also very curious about this person who could kill Jin Wenxian, especially the other party attacked his fleet for no reason, which was too strange.

Regarding Zhou Zhong's words, Zhang Rui inside did not react at all. If it were not for Bai Junwan, he might have argued with Zhou Zhong, and even scolded him for acting viciously. Own?It's a pity that now that Bai Junwan is here, he has no face to face his former wife.

"Who the hell are you? Why do I feel so familiar when I see you? Also, why did you both attack our fleet and finally cause our chamber of commerce to lose more than a dozen people? Don't you have anything to explain?" Bai Junwan said at this time. She also asked, originally she should have recognized the other party as Zhang Rui, but Zhou Zhong had told him before that Zhang Rui had jumped into the sea and died, so she didn't think about Zhang Rui at all.

However, it was Bai Junwan's words that finally made Zhang Rui react, and even he himself did not know where the courage came from, which made him slowly raise his head, revealing the pale face under the messy hair.
