Zhang Biao rushed home and came back with bulging clothes on, and brought back a dozen bodyguards.
After Fang Zhengyi took over the things Zhang Biao brought back, he gave an order and a group of people set off in a mighty manner, following the messenger guarding the courtyard.
The three elders looked worried and followed hesitantly.
Fang Zhengyi was really unreliable. If they couldn't see the prince return safely as soon as possible, they would probably not be able to sleep or eat well.
The robbers were not too far away, just in Tuansongfang, two towns away.
When they were about to get closer, Fang Zhengyi began to command the guards to scatter and stand guard in the surrounding area waiting for the signal.
With so many people there was no way the other party would let him in.
At the same time, he tried to persuade the three ministers to go home first, but they were unwilling to do so. Fang Zhengyi had no choice but to tell them to follow his arrangements and never reveal the identity of the crown prince.
No matter how powerful the Fen Gang is, they don't have the courage to kidnap the prince. If their true identities were known, they would probably become desperate.
The three ministers of course understood what was going on and nodded in agreement.
Soon, Fang Zhengyi, Zhang Biao and the three elders followed the guard to a place that looked like an abandoned warehouse, and the guard knocked on the door.
Two people inside opened the wooden door with torches.
In the pitch-black sky, the broken wooden door made a creaking sound, which seemed particularly creepy.
The two people who opened the door looked at Fang Zheng and his companions with unfriendly expressions, but when they saw that there were only two young people and three old men, their expressions eased a little.
These five people are obviously not a threat.
So he stepped back two steps to make way.
Fang Zhengyi took the lead and strode in, followed by the others.
However, I immediately felt something was wrong as I entered. The warehouse was extremely stinking... It didn't seem like a place for people to stay at all.
Several people immediately covered their mouths and noses and looked around vigilantly.
There were quite a few people in the room, many of them holding torches and staring at Fang Zheng and his group eagerly.
At the deepest part of the warehouse, there was a man standing with his hands behind his back in front of a table. He looked like the bandit leader.
Li Yuanzhao was tied up tightly and thrown on the ground beside him, with a rag stuffed in his mouth.
As soon as he saw Fang Zheng coming, he immediately whimpered and wanted to ask for help.
The three elders became excited when they saw Li Yuanzhao, and were about to speak when Fang Zheng stopped them with his hand.
Then he stared at the leader and said in a deep voice: "Who are you? Why are you arresting my people?"
The man with his hands behind his back slowly turned around. His face was covered with flesh and there was a big scar on his forehead, which was as long as a finger.
He looked at Fang Zheng and grinned:
"You stole my business back then, and now you're trying to steal it again. Fang Zhengyi, should I call you Mr. Sai or Boss Fang now?"
"You're welcome, just call me dad!"
Fang Zheng immediately reacted as soon as he saw this person.
This person was none other than Huang Shengrong, the former leader of the Dung Gang in Hengjiang Prefecture. The scar on his forehead was caused by a dung fight.
The most important thing is that when the Beggars' Gang evacuated Hengjiang Prefecture, Fang Zheng and his men attacked the Dung Gang at night and drowned Huang Shengrong in a cesspool. After that, they bribed the guards at the city gate and hung him on the city wall.
Fang Zhengyi thought of this incident on the way here, and he almost had the answer in his mind.
But I couldn't be sure before I met him. I didn't expect that this person was so capable and was doing so well in the capital.
Huang Shengrong flew into a rage when he heard this: "Fang Zhengyi! You are courting death. You dare to be stubborn even though you are in my territory. Who do you think you are?"
Fang Zhengyi picked his nose and said, "Me? A man from Taoyuan County, a fourth-rank junior secretary, the leader of the Beggars' Sect, a master of broken poems, a murderer with poisonous hands... Huang Shengrong, what's wrong with your fucking brain? You don't even know what I do in the capital. If you dare to touch me, just try!"
As soon as they heard the words "poisonous butcher", everyone present took a step back and immediately became more vigilant.
I didn't expect that the young man in front of me was the famous...
The three ministers were immediately worried.
This... is Fang Zhengyi really going to die!? He is so arrogant even when he is surrounded by a group of people, and the prince is still in their hands!
Huang Shengrong sneered twice: "I know, of course I know...I must avenge the grudge of the past. No identity can save you. Do you think you can walk out of this door tonight?"
After saying that, he kicked Li Yuanzhao in the butt.
"And you, the pedophile, must all die!"
Upon hearing this, Li Yuanzhao began to twist his body violently like a maggot seeing shit, making a series of whining sounds, but one could tell that it was the quintessence of Chinese culture.
Fang Zheng was very depressed. He had picked up a lot of orphans in Hengjiang City, and the Fen Gang began to spread rumors that they liked young boys and girls.
Especially at that time, he was with Xiao Tao every day, so he couldn't wash it clean even if he wanted to. He didn't expect that he would believe what this bastard said?
However, he believed that Huang Shengrong dared to kill people. This passerby was so arrogant that he must have committed many murders and robberies. What's more, he had already provoked him to death.
The disappearance of a fourth-rank official in the capital was certainly a big deal, but it would be easy for a professional to fake the scene by making it look like an accident.
In this era, as long as the aftermath work is done carefully enough, it is extremely difficult to track down the person! Even if there are even a few clues, someone can be found to take the blame.
So he could understand why Huang Shengrong dared to take such a risk...
"Fang Zhengyi, ah Fang Zhengyi, you are really going backwards as you grow older. Do you think you can get away from this unscathed with only a dozen guards?"
"Haha, you're stupid enough to bring three old men in here!"
Huang Shengrong looked at Fang Zhengyi with a mocking expression.
