Zhang He looked at the silver taels in his arms and then looked at Captain Zhou. He was also in a difficult position. The eight city gates of Shattered Leaf City were being inspected by two teams of people every day, and each team had half a day's worth of time.

Originally, they were only responsible for the day's investigation. Moreover, they were already tired enough just by doing this. But now, they needed to work a bit longer. This wasn't a matter of time, but the accumulated fatigue of the day.

Even if Zhang Hao could handle it, his group of brothers might not be able to. However, as they were fellow disciples of the same sect, he had no choice but to help out. This was truly a dilemma. At this moment, Zhang Hao's heart was in turmoil.

"How long do you need …" Zhang Meng steeled his heart and agreed to be Captain Zhou.

"Two hours, give me two hours!" When Captain Zhou saw that Zhang Hao had agreed, he was overjoyed.

"Alright, I'll only give you two hours." Zhang He looked at Captain Zhou and said. As soon as he finished speaking, Captain Zhou immediately nodded his head. He didn't even have time to say anything as he rode his horse back to Shattered Leaf City.

"Brothers, Captain Zhou is in a hurry, let's keep watch for another two hours." "Captain Zhou will bring us to eat and drink later."

After Zhang Hao shouted, everyone had a different expression on their faces. They were all puzzled, angry, and disappointed … However, no one objected or questioned him.

Furthermore, no one was impatient with him. It seemed that he had a good sense of authority and a high position among his group of brothers.

This was no longer just the prestige a captain brought.

"Sigh …" Zhang Meng sighed deeply. He had originally thought that he could take a break, but who knew that things would turn out this way? His plans really couldn't keep up with the changes that had occurred.

He turned his horse again and continued to wander around the gate, finishing his work.

Shattered Leaf City's city gate guards had already swapped out a group of people. They looked at the group of black-armored soldiers with a strange expression. Why haven't they changed shifts yet? Aren't they tired?

However, this had nothing to do with them, so they did not ask too much and did not meddle in other people's business. This was a police line that they all had in their hearts, and these guys were not easy to mess with.

The sun was setting in the west, and the sky was about to turn dark. An hour's time quickly passed by.

Zhang He looked at the sky and realized that it was almost time for him to rest. At this time, a group of carriages appeared in the horizon, their long shadows blocking the evening sky.

The hooves of the horses clattered, and the wheels of the carriages squeaked from the weight they carried. A team of carriages headed towards the Shattered Leaf City.

Zhang Meng looked again. From the looks of it, this was a big business group.

These rich people were really troublesome. They had to come at this time. Zhang Hao complained in his heart and then immediately moved on. It didn't matter if he was uncomfortable or not, he still had to do things.

It was almost time to change shifts and rest. He still had to work hard. No one would be happy, but Zhang Hao had a good grasp of the situation and did not reveal it.

As if they had already known that Zhang Hun was coming over, the horse carriage stopped. The largest horse carriage in the area slowly drove out of the caravan and headed towards Zhang Hun.

Only then did Zhang Meng see clearly. In front of each carriage was a flag with the word "Gui" on it.

Looking at the beautifully decorated carriage, Zhang Meng couldn't help but sigh with emotion, this should be a big business group.

Just as the large carriage was about to arrive in front of Zhang Hun, Zhang Hun heard a voice calling out from behind him. He turned around and, as expected, the Captain Zhou from before had brought his men to change shifts.

At this moment, Zhang Hao was also very happy, so he might as well leave the work of this group of merchants to them.

"Done." Zhang Hao met with Captain Zhou.

"Of course!" Captain Zhou's face was full of happiness; he seemed to have solved a big burden.

"How?" Zhang Hao was also a little curious at this moment.

Captain Zhou lowered his voice, "What else can I do? I used some silver to pass the field officer test. It'll last for a while."

"Later on, just recruit more people to fill in the vacancy."

"Then... Where are the two dead brothers? "

"Who cares about them?" Captain Zhou's face was full of disdain, "You disobedient bastard, you deserved it. Just give their family a pension."

After Zhang Hao heard Captain Zhou say this, he wanted to say something, but he stopped and didn't say it.

"Alright then." Zhang Hao did not dwell on this matter, "There's a business group over there, let's check it out as usual."

"Alright!" Captain Zhou patted Zhang Hao's shoulder, "Take your brothers and leave first." We'll get together again in the evening. "

"Mm." Zhang Hun nodded and, without any objections, rode his horse to gather his men.

Captain Zhou had a smile on his face as he slowly walked towards the business group.

The merchant group was a special existence and had the right to enter the city without being investigated. Since the big merchant groups often traded valuable items, they basically never touched them.

Whether or not he would break it was a matter of time. On the other hand, time was a very precious thing to businessmen who pursued benefits.

Therefore, the inspection of the merchant group was only a symbolic act. No guard would slowly look at it bit by bit. This was also considered a small privilege for someone to pay a heavy tax.

Captain Zhou arrived in front of the large carriage. Sitting in front of the carriage was a young man dressed in red. Although his face was wrapped in a white cloth and he couldn't see his appearance clearly, as a soldier, he could feel a sense of danger from this red-clothed youth's body.

This young man was definitely not simple!

Many large business groups would train or hire one or two such young masters and martial artists. This is not a rare thing, but you must not underestimate them because they are not as simple as you see them to be.

Captain Zhou was a veteran of the black armored soldiers. He had seen many of these people before, but he wasn't afraid of them.

"Business group?" Captain Zhou walked to the side of the carriage and raised his eyebrows.

"Gui Family Business Group. rouge buckle! " The red-clothed youth said coldly.

"Oh?" The man surnamed Zhou was shocked. The reputation of the Gui Family's business group was not small, so he naturally knew of it.

"Do you have any proof?" When Captain Zhou asked this, he didn't believe it so easily.

Every large merchant group had a certificate issued by the imperial government. This could not be faked. The existence of this sort of thing. It was also to prevent certain people who wanted to test him from stealing his privileges.

"Hmph!" The red-clothed youth seemed as if he didn't want to talk to him any longer and threw out an item from his bosom.

Captain Zhou stretched out his hand to catch it. It was a scroll. He opened it and saw that it was the government's merchant group certificate. Only with this could the merchant group's special rights be used.

However, at this moment, Captain Zhou's eyes flashed with a trace of greed. He had hidden himself well, but the red-clothed youth still caught him and didn't say anything.

After Captain Zhou saw the certificate, he waved at the red-clothed youth with a smile. "This certificate of yours …" It's fake! "
