Chapter 124 Origin

Zhao Xu gave in very quickly.

So quickly that even Li Beifeng was a little surprised...

This so-called young master, isn't he too... vulnerable?

He gave in before he even started?

In fact, Li Beifeng did overestimate these young masters.

For young masters like Zhao Xu, they have been born rich and prosperous since childhood and have hardly suffered any setbacks.

For them, if they don't bully others, others will be thankful, and when will it be their turn to bully them.

Because of this, although these dandy young masters look quite strong. Once the shell of their identities is peeled off, in fact, they are more fragile and afraid of death than anyone else!

People are always double standards.

And Zhao Xu is a person who is very afraid of death.

At this moment, it was late at night and in the wilderness.

Zhao Xu's guards ran and fell, leaving only him alone.

And there was another person who made him shudder.

Li Beifeng...

Anyone would be terrified, let alone a playboy like Zhao Xu.

When seeing Li Beifeng approaching step by step, Zhao Xu felt as if death was approaching.

Especially the poisoning method that Li Beifeng had just used had already chilled Zhao Xu to the bone.

In his eyes, Li Beifeng looked like a poisonous species, and he might be poisoned even through the air.

So, Zhao Xu was very cowardly.

"Spare my life?"

Li Beifeng narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Zhao Xu who was kneeling in front of him with weak legs: "Didn't you say you wanted to teach me a lesson just now?"

"Brother, I was wrong. I shouldn't have been so delusional. I was just joking. Don't kill me, brother..."

At this time, Zhao Xu was really scared and recognized the situation.

He was not the kind of fool who would still be stubborn when he was about to die. At that moment, he obviously had no advantage.

Even if he was powerful, he was afraid that Li Beifeng was a fool and would kill him if he disagreed with him...

Li Beifeng thought that the dude in front of him would try to struggle and be tough. Unexpectedly... it was boring.

"Did Zhou Zhongzheng... ask you to come?"

Li Beifeng asked slowly.

"Yes..."

Zhao Xu hesitated for a moment, and when he met Li Beifeng's cold eyes, he shuddered and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, he asked me to come!"

"It was because he had a problem with you that he asked me to teach you a lesson... It was also him who signaled me to stop you in the restaurant before. In fact, I didn't want to. I have no grudges against you, and I was forced to do all this..."

Zhao Xu did not hesitate at all and decisively betrayed Zhou Zhongzheng.

In the face of life threats, all friendships are fake.

Li Beifeng looked at the man in front of him and sneered in his heart.

Traitor!

This guy actually betrayed Zhou Zhongzheng without any hesitation.

Sure enough, the friendship between these dudes is very fragile.

"He asked you to... kill me?"

Li Beifeng continued to stare at the man in front of him.

And Zhao Xu swallowed his saliva: "He, he asked me to teach you a lesson..."

"Besides that?"

"Nothing else..."

"Really?"

Seeing Li Beifeng approaching one step closer, Zhao Xu was frightened: "Yes, I absolutely did not tell a single lie. If I tell a single lie, I will be struck by lightning!"

Li Beifeng did not believe in this man's oath, after all, oaths are less reliable than love.

Li Beifeng stared at him: "What is the origin of that Zhou Zhongzheng?"

Zhao Xu said cautiously: "Duke Zhou... Zhou Zhongzheng, his father's name is Zhou Teng, he is the county magistrate of our Chaoyang County..."

"And Zhou Zhongzheng is a famous talent in our Chaoyang County..."

After listening to Zhao Xu's words, Li Beifeng finally understood the origin of this Zhou Zhongzheng.

His father is actually the county magistrate of Chaoyang County?

Li Beifeng narrowed his eyes slightly. This official position was not low.

The Dazhao Dynasty adopted the system of prefectures and counties. The dynasty was divided into 17 prefectures, each of which was of different sizes.

The Nanzhou was located in the southern part of the Dazhao Dynasty and was connected to the capital of the Dazhao Dynasty.

Chaoyang County was the largest county city in Nanzhou.

The head of a county was the governor, and the county magistrate was the assistant under the governor.

In other words, Zhou Zhongzheng's father was actually the second in command of Chaoyang County?

Good guy...

This origin is not small!

This Zhou Zhongzheng not only has a big origin, but also is different from those dandies who eat and wait for death. This person is said to be talented and well-known in Chaoyang County.

Of course, Li Beifeng didn't believe this.

However, he quickly thought of something.

This guy has a good background, why would he come to a small place like Ping'an County for no reason?

Li Beifeng seemed to have thought of something: "Zhou Zhongzheng, did he come here specifically for Su Shan?"

Zhao Xu nodded: "Yes, Zhou Zhongzheng has admired Miss Su for a long time..."

Li Beifeng looked suspicious: "Why would Zhou Zhongzheng, the son of the county magistrate, go to pursue Su Shan?"

He had indeed heard that the main branch of the Su family was powerful.

But Su Shan was only a descendant of a branch of Ping'an County after all.

For a person like Zhou Zhongzheng, there was really no need to make such a big fuss for a woman from a branch of the Su family, right?

There are many beautiful women in the world, could it be... true love?

This question made Zhao Xu hesitate, but when he saw Li Beifeng's cold eyes, he trembled and did not dare to hide anything: "Because... this Miss Su, she is... not simple."

"What's not simple?"

"Su Shan's background..."

Zhao Xu explained: "She has a good background. The reason why Zhou Zhongzheng fell in love with her is because of her background."

Li Beifeng frowned: "Su Shan is just a descendant of the Su family. Just like that, Zhou Zhongzheng won't take notice, right?"

"Although Miss Su is just a branch of the Su family, but... I once heard Zhou Zhongzheng say that this Miss Su is not as simple as she appears..."

Zhao Xu shook his head: "I don't know what's going on specifically. I just heard that there is a deeper relationship between the main line of the Su family and this Miss Su..."

"So, Zhong Zhou is interested in her because of her background?"

"That's right!"

Zhao Xu explained: "Zhou Zhongzheng's father is not having an easy life now. A new prefect was appointed in Chaoyang County some time ago. Originally, his father was the most promising to be promoted, but he met the prefect who landed in the air and began to treat him His father is suppressing him. Now his father is in an inextricable fight with the eunuch. Zhou Zhongzheng wants to marry Su Shan and gain control of the new eunuch..."

Listening to Zhao Xu's words, Li Beifeng suddenly thought of something. He remembered the frost poison that Su Shan had been exposed to.

It is naturally unlikely that a small descendant of the Su family would be framed by someone so thoughtfully.

Now it seems that Su Shan really has some other secrets.

only……

Li Beifeng shook his head, none of this had anything to do with him.

"Brother...I've told you everything I know, but can you let me live?"

Li Beifeng glanced at him: "I never said I wanted to kill you."

Zhao Xu was overjoyed when he heard this: "Really? Thank you, brother!"

"but……"

Li Beifeng's tone changed again.

"I'm not an easy person to talk to. You took such good care of me tonight. If I didn't say something, wouldn't I be very sorry to you?"

The smile that just appeared on Zhao Xu's face disappeared again.

"You, what do you want to do?"

"It's nothing, it's just that you wasted so much of my time tonight. Shouldn't you make some compensation?"

Seeing Li Beifeng's eyes flickering, Zhao Xu seemed to have thought of something: "Brother, do you want money? No problem, I'll give it to you!"

Zhao Xu quickly searched his body and took out all the money he had.

However, he went out in a hurry and didn't bring much money with him.

"Brother, all my money is here. If you feel it is not enough, I will send someone to bring it to you tomorrow..."

Zhao Xu just wants to survive now and leave here first.

As for how to take revenge after leaving, that will happen later.

Zhao Xu is a person who can stretch and shrink. He will definitely repay tonight's humiliation when he comes back.

Li Beifeng took a glance and saw that this guy really didn't have much money on him. but……

He glanced at Zhao Xu's neck: "The jade pendant around your neck seems to be quite valuable."

"Brother, here you go!"

Zhao Xu reacted immediately and hurriedly took off the jade pendant and handed it to Li Beifeng.

"The chain on your hand..."

"Brother, I'll give it to you too..."

After confirming that there was nothing valuable on Zhao Xu, Li Beifeng nodded with satisfaction.

The harvest tonight was quite rich.

Li Beifeng didn't feel any psychological pressure at all when he blackmailed someone who intended to do evil to him.

At this moment, Zhao Xu, who was filled with humiliation in his heart, asked cautiously: "Brother, then, can I leave?"

"That's it."

Li Beifeng nodded.

Zhao Xu was overjoyed and could finally leave.

Turning around, Zhao Xu's eyes flashed with a fierce gloom.

Tonight's revenge, he will come back with severe humiliation in the future.

Murderous aura appeared on his face.

"etc!"

Who knew, Li Beifeng's voice suddenly came from behind again.

"You can go, but... you are so enthusiastic tonight, I can't be stingy. So, I will also give you a small gift."

"No……"

Before Zhao Xu could say no, Li Beifeng had already walked up to him.

Then, he pinched his mouth open and stuffed something into his mouth.

Things melted in the mouth and were swallowed directly into the stomach.

Zhao Xu had a look of horror on his face.

"You, what did you feed me?!"

“It’s not a strange thing”

Li Beifeng said with a smile: "It's just a small poison..."

"What?!"

When he heard the word poison, Zhao Xu's expression suddenly changed.

He quickly squatted aside and retched.

However, the medicine was already in his stomach and it was too late.

"This medicine will not endanger your life for the time being. It will just make your whole body extremely itchy. You can call it... itching medicine. Of course, if you can't get the antidote for a long time, then treat it differently. Don’t talk about it…”

Li Beifeng stared at the person in front of him with cold eyes.

"If you are obedient from now on, I promise... nothing will happen to you."
