From eunuch to emperor

A road divides Yongze City into north and south. The county government is on the north side, and rich people build houses around the county government office on the north side, while the poor people gather on the south side.

Zhou Zheng rode a horse to the south of the city.

A smelly and musty smell came to the nostrils, and there were pig manure and various pickled things on the street.

The houses on both sides were low and dilapidated, and some were rickety, as if they could be blown down by a gust of wind.

A few old men with thinning hair and missing teeth sat under the eaves, and a few children without pants chased and played.

Zhou Zheng appeared on the road riding a horse and immediately attracted the child's attention.

They stopped, looked at Zhou Zheng, and backed away with some fear.

This look is the same as when he saw dignitaries when he was a child.

When he was a child, Zhou Zheng was also naked. When he saw the rich and powerful wearing silk clothes, he was instinctively afraid.

Zhou Zheng ignored it, but continued to walk south, and when he reached a small corner, he saw a dilapidated thatched house.

The thatch is very thick, and it seems that a new layer has been added.

When he saw this thatched cottage, the corner of Zhou Zheng's mouth moved slightly, feeling endless emotion in his heart.

"I thought it had collapsed a long time ago, but it's still there."

Zhou Zheng dismounted and walked slowly towards the front door.

"Mom...mother..."

As soon as they reached the door, they saw two strong men in patched clothes grabbing a woman by the hair and dragging her out, followed by a little boy without pants chasing her out of the door.

Although the clothes of the strong men are patched, they have jackets and trousers, which are much better than ordinary people.

The clothes on the woman's body were very tattered, and there were two big holes in her knees.

"Donkey go back, go back..."

The woman didn't struggle, she seemed to accept her fate, she just felt sorry for the child.

"Little brat, next time your father has no money to pay off his gambling debts, he will sell you too!"

A big-bellied man with a big nose and small eyes cursed viciously.

"mother..."

The little boy squatted on the ground crying.

Zhou Zheng glanced into the room, a man was sitting slumped in the corner, watching the woman being dragged away.

After all this time, the people who live here are still like this.

Zhou Zheng sighed slightly.

"Old pig... old pig!"

Another strong man elbowed the big-bellied man and pointed at Zhou Zheng.

The brawny man grabbed the woman's hair in his hands and carefully scrutinized Zhou Zheng and the horse behind him.

"My friend, I advise you not to meddle in your own business."

The big belly brawny said coldly.

The woman on the ground glanced at Zhou Zheng with difficulty, and the little boy on the ground also looked at Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng didn't say anything, but walked into the thatched hut, inside there was a wooden bed, a stove, a broken pot, and a "stylish" grand master's chair.

Zhou Zheng sat down on the grand teacher's chair, sighed and said, "It's still there."

This Taishi chair was picked up from the county government when he was a child, and it is the "furniture" he is most proud of.

The man sitting in the corner looked at Zhou Zheng strangely, but the man dared not speak.

The two strong men outside were confused by Zhou Zheng's strange behavior.

"Old pig, what's the situation? This man..."

The strong man pointed to his head.

"Why are you so sick that you can ride a horse and dress so well?"

The big belly doesn't want trouble.

"go!"

The big belly man dragged the woman out, and the little boy cried again.

"and many more!"

Zhou Zheng shouted coldly.

The man sitting in the corner moved his lips, and there was a glimmer of hope in his heart.

The two strong men stopped, staring at the door with their eyes wide open.

"Friend, Leihuo Gang is doing things, you don't care!"

The big belly is not afraid at all, he is a member of a gang, not alone.

Zhou Zheng got up slowly, walked outside, looked at the big belly man, and sneered, "Is your old mad pig still alive?"

The burly man with a big belly was stunned for a moment, and asked doubtfully, "You know my father?"

Click!

Zhou Zheng suddenly passed in front of the burly man with a big belly, crushing the burly man's throat in an instant.

boom!

The big-bellied man's eyes bulged, and he fell backwards to the ground.

The other strong man turned and ran away in fright.

The woman let go of her hair, and when she saw the strong man who died on the ground, she cried, "You have hurt us..."

Kill the old pig of the Leihuo gang, and their family will die.

Zhou Zheng took out a dozen gold coins from his body and put them in the woman's hand.

"You go, I'm here."

The woman was stunned, she had never seen so much money, the man in the room also climbed out, snatched the gold coins, and kowtowed to thank: "Thank you, master!"

Zhou Zheng grabbed the man's hair and said viciously, "If you dare to gamble again, I will kill you! Get out!"

The man hurriedly said: "I don't gamble anymore, I don't gamble anymore."

The woman thanked Zhou Zheng, picked up the little boy and ran away.

After the people left, Zhou was walking slowly in the yard.

Soon, there was a noise outside, and a group of people rushed in and surrounded Zhou Zheng.

"Master, it's this son of a bitch who killed the old pig."

The strong man pointed at Zhou Zheng and cursed.

A man in his fifties, with gray hair, was riding a horse, wearing silk clothes, with a knife hanging from his waist.

This person is Lei Peng, the leader of the Thunder Fire Gang.

Lei Peng glanced at Zhou Zheng, and then at the horse parked beside him, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

An old man with an open belly, his hair was tied up in a mess with a silver hairpin, squatting on the ground to look closely at the body of a big belly.

This person is Mad Pig, the old man of a big belly.

"You killed my son."

Mad Pig raised his head, his eyes were red.

Zhou Zheng looked at Mad Pig, and then at the thatched hut, as if the events of his childhood were before his eyes again.

It was this mad pig who brought two people and beat his adoptive father to death in front of Zhou Zheng.

"Yes, I killed it."

Zhou Zheng spoke very calmly.

For him now, it was easier to kill a mad pig than a chicken.

"Friend, do I have any grudge against you?"

The gang leader Lei Peng asked coldly.

He could see that Zhou Zheng was not a simple person.

Zhou Zheng ignored Lei Peng, just looked at Mad Pig coldly, and continued: "Want to seek revenge from me? Come!"

Crazy Pig was furious, pulled out the dagger from his waist, and stabbed Zhou Zheng violently.

boom!

Zhou Zheng slapped the top of Mad Pig's head, and the silver hairpin pierced the back of the head, and Mad Pig died on the spot.

The surrounding thugs were shocked.

Zhou Zheng shot too quickly and killed Mad Pig in an instant.

Lei Peng sat down and backed away in horror, Lei Peng held the reins firmly.

"Friend, if there is something offending our Leihuo Gang, please tell me clearly. I, Lei Peng, will never shirk."

"But if you wantonly kill my subordinates like this, my Leihuo Gang is not easy to bully."

Lei Peng's tone was tough, but he was very scared in his heart.

He could see that Zhou Zhengxiu was very high, very high.

Zhou Zheng raised his head and glanced at Lei Peng, and said, "You open a casino to cheat."

Lei Peng froze for a moment, and said, "My friend lost money in my casino?"

Zhou Zheng shook his head and said, "My...father, I lost money."

Lei Peng was very puzzled and asked, "Dare to ask your father..."

Before the words were finished, Zhou Zheng drew his sword and beheaded Lei Peng, then turned around and swept across the crowd like a ghost, beheading everyone.

Putting away the knife, Zhou Zheng glanced at the thatched hut, took out a torch, lit the thatched grass, rode on the horse, and galloped to the capital without looking back.

Yongze City is not far from the capital, and Zhou Zheng quickly returned to the villa outside the city.

After getting off the horse and entering the room, Zhou Zheng took a set of clothes and went to the backyard to take a shower and sleep.

Yan Xing glanced at the backyard and entered Ji Ba's room.

"came back?"

"came back."

"Where did you go?"
