Chapter 52 Your Excellency is Wise
Although he knew that Zhou Tieyi would not really kill Sima Li, Yan Zhen had to quickly say something nice at this time, fearing that this unexpected second-generation ancestor of the Zhou family would do something else.

If Sima Li really died in Tianbao Tower, then the business of Tianbao Tower would be hit hard.

"Sir, he is young and ignorant. Please consider his father's contributions to the country and give him a lenient sentence."

Someone gave him a way out, and Zhou Tieyi’s authority tonight was almost established.

He casually broke a table leg with his palm, picked it up, and said to Sima Li with a smile, "Since this is your first offense today, I will teach you a lesson. Thirty strokes of the cane."

After saying that, without waiting for Sima Li to answer, the thick rosewood fell on Sima Li's thigh.

"My father is a minister!"

"Zhou Zhongman, you are nothing!"

"You Zhou family, wait for me!"

……

At the beginning, Sima Li was still shouting, but after fifteen strokes, he fainted from the pain.

After being beaten with the stick thirty times, the flesh under Sima Li's hind legs was already bloody.

Zhou Tieyi said in a bored tone, "I really can't stand being beaten."

Then Zhou Tieyi walked to Shentu Yuan with a smile.

Shen Tu Yuan, who had been pinned to the ground and beaten by Zhou Tieyi without making any sound, suddenly attacked. He had a broad waist and big arms, was slightly shorter than Zhou Tieyi, but more muscular.

When he pounced on Zhou Tieyi, he actually felt like a brown bear hunting.

The sudden change left everyone around no time to react.

Even Yan Zhen, who had time to react, watched the scene with a smile.

The next moment, Yan Zhen's smile froze and became solemn.

Shen Tu Yuan, who suddenly jumped up, was slapped away by a simple slap and fell back to the ground.

Zhou Tieyi picked up the rosewood and hit him, hard!

It's much more fun to fight with this thick flesh than the one just now!
Shen Tu Yuan's internal organs were damaged, but he gritted his teeth and held back the bloody breath in his throat. He really never thought that one day he would be overthrown by Zhou Zhongmanzi.

Just a month ago, we were all second-generation rich kids who were looked down upon by our families.

How come you, Zhou Zhongmanzi, are doing something so out of place behind our backs?
Have you really been making fun of us guys these years? Are we really being unrestrained while you are secretly practicing martial arts?
"Trash is trash!"

Zhou Tieyi glanced at the cloud above Shentu Yuan's head. The originally light red cloud showed a trend of changing to red. He smiled in his heart, it seems that you followed the script of 'Don't bully the poor young man'.

Seeing that Shentu Yuan still refused to admit defeat, with eyes full of anger, thinking that it was all military honors, he gave him a chance.

After all, the Zhou family had something going on, and the military heroes also helped, so the gifts were not given for nothing.

"I know you are not convinced. I will have to recruit soldiers tomorrow. If you have the guts, you can defeat me at the God-Slaying Division's training ground."

Zhou Tieyi would feel like he was letting himself down if he didn't use the sandbag more often.

Then he ignored Shen Tu Yuan, walked to Hao Ren, and said with a smile, "It's your turn."

These three second-generation rich kids have very different personalities.

Sima Li's father was a censor, the most noble of the officials, so he usually looked like a modest gentleman. He had learned his father's appearance, but he had neither bones nor brains.

Shen Tu Yuan is similar to Zhou Tieyi, except that there are many children in his family, and they are not from the same mother. There are many open and covert struggles, all eyeing the military power. Although he practices martial arts, he is set up by several of his brothers. They indulge in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, which wears away his martial arts will day and night. In the past two years, his martial arts practice has been lingering at the eighth level, and it is difficult to make any progress.

Hao Ren was the most tactful. His family was a royal merchant, with some in the military and some in politics, but the family had more children than the Shentu family, and the fights were even more fierce, so he simply withdrew and wanted to be a peaceful master. Although the three of them were not very smart, they had equal family backgrounds and complementary resources, so they naturally formed a small circle.

Even though half of his teeth were hit, Hao Ren still tried hard to force a smile, because he knew that Zhou Zhongmanzi was serious and only after passing this level could he talk about other things.

"Brother Zhou, for the sake of our past friendship, please be gentle. I will come to apologize to you in the future."

Hao Ren tried to speak vaguely.

As for what he meant by "apologize", there are two theories.

Zhou Tieyi didn't dwell on Hao Ren's apology and said with a smile, "Okay, okay. We brothers will eat from the same trough from now on. There's a long way to go."

After saying that, he swung the rosewood leg and hit the hind leg.

After thirty blows, Hao Ren fainted.

After Zhou Tieyi finished the torture, he said to Yan Zhen, "Carry him away for treatment."

"what?"

Yan Zhen didn't react for a moment.

Zhou Tieyi shook his head and said, "You are already old, how come you don't understand anything? After they were punished, they were cleared of all charges. Now they are still guests of your Tianbao Tower. Do you want to watch them die here? That's none of my business."

Yan Zhen looked at Zhou Tieyi seriously for a long while, as if comparing him with Zhou Yulong's figure at that time.

He sighed and said, "It is said that a tiger father will not have a dog son. How could this Taoist fish dragon give birth to a dog of prostitutes? I was wrong before, but I have learned my lesson today."

After saying that, he actually bowed and saluted to Zhou Tieyi as a teacher.

The servants carried the three people away for treatment. Although Zhou Tieyi beat them fiercely, he was careful in his attack. In this world of cultivation, even if Hao Ren had half of his teeth broken, they could grow back slowly as long as he had the bone-growing pill.

Seeing that Zhou Tieyi had no intention of retreating, Yan Zhen asked, "Does the general have any other instructions?"

Zhou Tieyi smiled and said, "It's nothing serious. I just want to borrow your land to tell Qin Yu and Mei Juncang to come to the training ground tomorrow to be punished. Otherwise, don't let me meet them in Tianjing. Then I will really test the sharpness of my knife."

I have caused such a big fuss here, it will be difficult to catch those two guys in Tianjing tonight, but there is still a long time.

After saying this, he sheathed his sword with a clang, strode forward, shook his clothes, turned around and sat on the rosewood chair, sitting in the middle of the hall like a tiger, looking down upon the splendor in front of him.

Above the green brocade, the mountain eagle spreads its wings and is ready to fly.

His fierce brows and eyes finally lost their murderous intent, his dimples brought a smile, and he yawned lazily.

"Serve!"

The servants who had gone to get the elixirs hurried in carrying brocade boxes. The four strong men quickly rearranged the long table, replacing the one where Zhou Tieyi had broken his leg, and covered it with the finest Jiangnan silk placemats.

Zhou Tieyi smiled and said to his attendants, "You followed me on the night patrol today. I guess you must be hungry. Come to the table and eat with me."

A Da and others saluted with fists.

Yan Zhen opened the brocade boxes himself. On each layer of the brocade boxes was a plate with blue and white lotus patterns, on which were two tiger and leopard marrow-changing pills wrapped in gold foil.

He opened the brocade box layer by layer. Zhou Tieyi saw that he had brought seven plates, so he interrupted and said, "That's enough."

Originally Yan Zhen felt a little heartbroken, but after seeing Zhou Tieyi's methods just now, he suddenly felt that he had made a profit by using fourteen Tiger and Leopard Yisui Pills to get him out.

During the meal, Zhou Tieyi picked up a Tiger and Leopard Yisui Pill and asked Wu Qian, who was sitting there, with a smile, "Look, I told you that you didn't guess the other half correctly. I wonder what we're going to eat tonight."

Wu Qian stood up, clasped his fists and said sincerely, "Your Excellency is wise, but I am stupid. It is really hard to guess."
