My god, run!!!

Seeing that Zhou Zheng had no intention of letting him go, the leader hurriedly said, "My dear, if you can just spare my life, everything else will be easy to talk about..."

After saying this, the boss kept kowtowing to Zhou Zheng, slapping himself in the face, and begging for mercy.

For thieves like these, the chances of being caught are very high. Being beaten and scolded for saving their lives is normal. These are minor matters. They beg shamelessly as long as their lives are not in danger, and they don't care about face or money at all. Kneeling and begging for mercy like this, or even slapping themselves in the face, are nothing. If they return all the stolen items and then keep begging for mercy, the chances of being let go are very high.

But the person he met today was Zhou Zheng. How could Zhou Zheng let him go without scraping off some of his pride?

"Stop... stop... stop... stand up and talk." Zhou Zheng said.

The boss stopped slapping himself and stood up from the ground.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Shi Tian," the leader named Shi Tian stood up straight and answered with his back bent.

Zhou Zheng smiled at the leader named Shi Tian and asked with a suggestive expression, "Is your surname Shi from Shizhuang? Or is your surname Shi from Gushangzhao Shiqian?"

After hearing what Zhou Zheng said, Shi Tian shuddered instantly, and sweat immediately wet his entire forehead, and the sweat flowed down his cheeks and fell to the ground.

Seeing the look on Shi Tian's face, Zhou Zheng said calmly, "Your Shizhuang is ostensibly named Shi, but it's actually Shi Qian, the flea on the drum. The Shi in Shizhuang is just a deception. Your Shi family has many enemies. If they knew your entire clan was here, what do you think they would do? What would they do?"

When Shi Tian heard Zhou Zheng say this, he looked at Zhou Zheng in horror.

Zhou Zheng looked at Shi Tian's expression and continued, "Your ancestor, Shi Qian, the flea on the drum, knew that following Song Jiang's surrender would eventually lead to his downfall. He was also afraid of being purged and exterminated by the imperial court. So he secretly called his family to come here from afar. From then on, they thrived in this village. Therefore, the village was renamed Shizhuang, which is the transliteration of "Shi". From then on, your Shi family has thrived here for generations, living a happy life."

"This place is backed by mountains. If anything happens, you and your family can run to the mountains behind to take shelter. This way, you will be safe and sound for the next few hundred or thousand years."

"Shizhuang is the only village in and out of the mountains, so there's a constant stream of toll-collecting travelers and peddlers coming and going every day. This village provides you with excellent cover, allowing you to demonstrate your excellent conduct. In situations like today, I'm afraid you often do this to other travelers and peddlers, right?"

"I understand. After all, a thief never leaves empty-handed. It makes sense to take some tolls when you're on your own territory. But since you met me today, this matter is a bit difficult to handle."

Zhou Zheng looked at Shi Tian, ​​who was trembling with fear in front of him, with a half-smile.

As Shi Tian listened to Zhou Zheng talking about the shocking secrets of their Shi family, he immediately broke out in a sweat and thought to himself, "How...how...how did he know this shocking secret of our Shi family? No one in our family would ever tell it to others."

"Is there a traitor in our family? That's impossible. It never happened before and it hasn't happened now. Why did this happen as soon as they arrived yesterday?" Shi Tian was puzzled.

Shi Tian listened to Zhou Zheng's words with trembling body. After listening carefully and thinking about them carefully, he could understand the meaning of what Zhou Zheng said. He just wanted benefits and hush money. Now his heart was finally at ease. Asking for money was easy to say. It was too simple. We didn't have many things, but we had a lot of money.

So he said to Zhou Zheng timidly, "Good man, I am willing to give you 5000 yuan in cash as compensation for your losses. How about that?"

"cut..."

Hearing Zhou Zheng's impatient voice, Shi Tian knew that he was going to bleed heavily today. He hurriedly said in panic, "Good man...good man...the 5000 yuan in cash is for buying some good feed for your horses."

"I will compensate each of you with 100 large yellow croakers. Please consider that I was blind and didn't recognize the great man. I apologize to you all here." After saying that, he bowed deeply to Zhou Zheng and the others.

"Ugh..."

Hearing Zhou Zheng's sigh, Shi Tian suddenly felt that something was wrong.

All I could hear was Zhou Zheng shouting, "Hua Rong... drag this Shi Tian out and shoot him. He's as noisy as a fly and is annoying me."

Hua Rong smiled and answered his elder brother Zhou Zheng loudly: "Okay, elder brother, I will drag him out and use the Czech light machine gun to shoot him into a sieve."

After saying that, he was about to drag Shi Tian out. No matter how Shi Tian kowtowed and begged for mercy, Zhou Zheng just wouldn't give in. He was as steady as a rock and asked Hua Rong to drag him out and shoot him.

Seeing that Shi Tian was about to be dragged out of the gate, Shi Tian was instantly frightened to death.

Suddenly, I heard a voice saying "Wait..."
