Hearing Wang Zheng's cold words, Luo Wu's eyes narrowed suddenly. Although he had been prepared for a long time, he did not expect Wang Zheng to be so decisive and directly want to turn things into a situation of life and death.

Luo Wu pondered for a moment, said nothing, nodded at Wang Zheng, and went straight to do his work.

Wang Zheng's choice was not rash, but a decision made after careful consideration.

Since they have already set their sights on you, want to kill you and steal your treasure, and have already put it into action, even if you try to compromise, it will be of no use except making others look down on you and causing them to act even more unscrupulously in the future.

After all, this is a powerful society. If someone dares to rebel, what else can't be done? Moreover, the county magistrate's surname is Wang, and he is the former queen's brother. He is naturally hostile to Wang Zheng.

If Wang Zheng continued to be tolerant and acted too cowardly, even his biggest supporter, Wu Zetian, might look down on him in the end, which would be the biggest disaster.

It would be better to do as it is now, to completely break off relations and tie Luo Wu to himself. Even if things get out of control in the end, the worst that can happen is that he will go to Chang'an to sue. He has earned face for Empress Wu, so she will have to protect him.

Wang Zhian showed some satisfaction, arranged the county runners to integrate the team, and then took dozens of his own elite servants and rode in front with the county soldiers led by the county lieutenant.

On the way back to Jiangxin Island, Wang Zheng went over all his thoughts in his mind. After he felt that there was no problem, he lay down to rest.

Wang Zhian looked around, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Very good, since you are willing to help, I will first accept your help, and I will definitely benefit from you later.

Since others dare to send their heads back, they must not be so easy to deal with. If you get involved, you can’t predict what will happen to you.

Someone wanted to make a suggestion, but Wang Zhian said viciously: "If anyone doesn't want to help, just leave. I have made up my mind, so there is no need to say more."

Wang Zhian was immediately furious, and came out in disheveled clothes and shouted, "What's going on? Why are you so panicked so early in the morning? How can this be so disgraceful?"

After the order was issued, naturally the runners went out to invite people. In just half an hour, all the wealthy families, heads of various departments, and even the prominent people among the ruffians and gangsters in the county were invited.

In fact, a county town has only a few tens of thousands of people at most, and only a little over ten thousand at least. Powerful people are even fewer, and basically everyone knows each other.

When Wang Zhian woke up in the morning, hoping that his son would bring back the method of making yellow paper, what he was greeted with was the panicked exclamations of the servants in the mansion.

Now no one had any objections and no one left.

A man who looked like a manager came running over in a panic and said, "Sir, it's bad. Someone, someone has put your head at the city gate."

There was a commotion in the county government office, which gradually died down after more than half an hour. Wang Zhian, with a white cloth tied around his head and red and swollen eyes, knelt on the couch. His expression was gloomy at one moment, then sad, and finally turned into horror and hideousness.

"What?"

As a result, the people in the county had a hard time during this period, and Luo Wu was pushed to the edge of the cliff by Wang Zhian, so he decided to cooperate with Wang Zheng.

The county magistrate here is Wang Zhian, who is about 40 years old. He has been the magistrate for five years. After Queen Wang was deposed, he has given up the idea of ​​promotion and planned to run the county well.

Wang Zhian sneered, "Although the bandits are powerful, they are not invincible. If you are willing to help, we can catch them today. Why should we let everyone know about such a small matter?"

Wang Zhian cried out in surprise, was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help crying out with tears streaming down his face: "My son!"

Cheng Bokang, who was standing in the crowd, never said a word. He just watched calmly and memorized the expressions of everyone in the crowd.

After everyone had arrived, Wang Zhian said in a hoarse voice, "The villain tried to kill my son. I want to avenge him, but the villain is too powerful. Are you willing to help me?"

Wang Zhian's words of coercion and inducement made everyone worried, and when everyone dispersed, they couldn't help but sigh.

In this case, gentlemen, please go back and gather all the adult males in your families, prepare your armor and soldiers, and meet me at the city gate.

These people came up one after another, and Wang Zhian didn't ask them to sit down or anything. He just sat on the couch in a daze. Seeing that Wang Zhian looked unhappy, everyone didn't dare to ask more questions and could only wait.

After all, no one is a fool. Judging from Wang Zhian’s current expression, if anyone leaves at this time, he might be dealt with by Wang Zhian before the thief is brought to justice.

Everyone looked troubled. Someone suggested, "Since the bandits are so powerful, why don't you report the matter to the military officer and ask for help from the state?"

"Go and invite all the heads of the various departments in the county, as well as the owners of the rich and powerful families, to come to me, and tell them that I have something to discuss with you. If anyone dares not come today, don't worry about me being rude in the future."

Now Wu Zetian and Li Zhi are in their honeymoon period, and there is also the tiger Zhangsun Wuji waiting for them to fight together. With the two biggest backers, what is Wang Zheng afraid of? Even if things are really irreparable, Wang Zheng can still escape into the mountains and forests and live happily. A lot of Ba people still live in the forests. , Can Wang Zheng still not survive?

Some people who knew the news were even more worried. They didn't know how Wang Zhian was going to act and what the consequences would be if they were implicated.

Half an hour later, nearly two thousand people gathered at the city gate. They were wearing different kinds of clothing and armor, and their weapons were of different lengths. The messy team looked like a large force from a distance.

Wang Zhian now just wants to get as many benefits as possible so that he can live a better life after retiring and returning to his clan.

The county lieutenant sat on his horse and said to Wang Zhian earnestly, "Your Excellency, if you act like this, aren't you afraid that the court will hold you accountable later?"

Wang Zhian said with some disdain: "What if I'm held accountable? At most, they'll just take off my hat. Today's queen knows my identity, but she still wants to build a tiny imperial farm nearby.

This is intentional to disgust me. Last time the manager of the imperial farm came into the city, I wanted to kill him, but I didn't expect him to run away. He even became defensive afterwards.

When I learned that Cheng Bokang's yellow paper was made by that kid, I thought about letting him go as long as he was willing to tell me the method of making yellow paper.

For this, I spent a lot of money to hire someone to lobby for me, but I didn't expect that guy to be so ungrateful."
