My god, run!!!

For a whole week, Zhou Zheng didn't go anywhere. He stayed at home and Qianjia Village. When he had nothing to do, he would go to the teahouse and chat with passing travelers, talking about everything.

Before you even mention it, Zhou Zheng also heard a useful piece of news: a lot of military and logistical supplies of the Nationalist army have disappeared, completely vanished without a trace.

The entire Nationalist army investigated everywhere but could not find the cause, no clue at all. This made the top leaders of the Nationalist Party furious. Finally, a Nationalist staff officer connected all the locations where the Nationalist troops who had lost supplies were stationed on a map, and the result was that they all pointed in the same direction: "Shanxi."

So much military supplies and daily necessities of the Nationalist army were missing. As the highest-ranking official of the Kuomintang, he was of course furious. He then learned that his staff had found clues to these lost supplies and connected them on the map, pointing to "Shanxi".

Then he called the leader of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and started cursing at him. The leader of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was also a hot-tempered person, and he cursed back. The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the Central Army had always disliked each other, and now the situation was even more tense. If there was any slight problem, there might be a fight.

If a fight really broke out, it would not be the outcome that both leaders wanted to see. On the surface, both sides were engaged in verbal battles. Privately, the leaders of both sides issued a death order demanding that they find out who stole so much military supplies and daily necessities from the National Army.

They would not believe that there was no traitor even if they were beaten to death. However, after investigating for a long time, they still could not find any clues. For this reason, the leaders of both sides dismissed those who did not perform their duties or executed them. For a time, the entire National Army and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army were in a panic.

When Zhou Zheng heard this, he laughed... These two old men were really fun to play with.

Zhou Zheng also had a pleasant chat with these itinerant merchants and business owners, and said that they would have the opportunity to cooperate and do business together in the future. These itinerant merchants and business owners agreed that this was a good idea, as they could all make money together.

During this week, Chen Xinyi followed Zhou Zheng closely. Wherever Zhou Zheng went, Chen Xinyi followed him. Zhou Zheng had no choice but to follow her.

Seeing Zhou Zheng chatting happily with the passing tourists, the people of all walks of life, the ordinary people, and the itinerant merchants and businessmen, my heart was filled with pride. My man is generous, broad-minded, not fussy about trivial matters, and has no intention of discriminating or looking down on anyone.

Chen Xinyi was amazed at her man Zhou Zheng's communication skills. He had a very good grasp of these interpersonal and social abilities. He could always find common ground, analyze the shortcomings of things, and give reasonable suggestions. Especially these businessmen treated Zhou Zheng as a guest of honor when he explained the way of doing business.

Zhou Zheng said that if there is a chance for them to do business together in the future, these businessmen said they must tell me first and that they would definitely work with Zhou Zheng to make money. They also gave Zhou Zheng their contact information. For a while, everyone was laughing and chatting with each other, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Chen Xinyi looked at Zhou Zheng, her man, lovingly. Ever since they had broken that window paper, Chen Xinyi had become increasingly dependent on Zhou Zheng. She was incredibly clingy, a complete love-brained person. But Zhou Zheng also liked Chen Xinyi clinging to him.

After analyzing all the information Zhou Zheng had gathered over the past few days, he realized that Qianjia Village was far from simple. For a village with a history stretching back hundreds of thousands of years to this day, it was impossible to believe that it had no ties to the bandits within Shuang'er Mountain.

Those escort agencies and their accompanying guards must be connected to the bandits within Shuang'er Mountain, perhaps even serving as their outposts. This must be the case, otherwise why would all the goods and people who hired escorts and guards from the Qianjia Village escort agencies have no problems, passing through Shuang'er Mountain safely? Those individuals and groups who didn't hire escorts and guards from the Qianjia Village escort agencies were robbed and murdered—this is the reason.

Zhou Zheng suddenly thought of this. It seems that Qianjia Village is the biggest bandit behind the Shuang'er Mountain bandits. The bandits in Shuang'er Mountain should be nothing more than the Qian family's thugs.

But why were the bandits in Shuang'er Mountain fighting among themselves? They were all family, so why should they? Zhou Zheng was puzzled. He remembered a new bandit who had said he wanted to unite all the bandits in Shuang'er Mountain. He'd heard that this bandit had some Nationalist influence. Could it be that the Nationalist Party and the Nationalist Army had set their sights on Shuang'er Mountain? Hmm...it had to be that way. After all, so many people passed through Shuang'er Mountain every day. That was a lot of money. How much would that be in a month? How much in a year? What if they got angry and robbed all the goods? How much would that be?

Zhou Zheng suddenly understood everything. It was all a struggle for interests. Now the Qian family was a little out of control. After all, no matter how powerful a family with a history of hundreds or thousands of years was, it couldn't compete with the army.
