Chapter 136: Master Zheng
"Did you hear that? There was a caravan in the city, specializing in selling some delicate things for women, what incense powder, flower dew, and hair oil, and I don't want to think about what the current situation of our Yangcheng is! The rogue came to make trouble twice in three days, and the shops on the street were closed and did not dare to open the market, is the leader of this caravan not clear? Come and sell those things at this time! ”
"I heard, I heard! If you want me to say, it's not that he doesn't know his brain, it's very clear! Taking advantage of the bad world, they successively acquired an entire shop on Dongbian Street, and in the future, Yangcheng will be relieved, won't all the money be earned by them? ”
"Earn what you earn! They sell women's things, how can there be women in Yangcheng now? Before the situation is too peaceful, he may have lost all his pants! ”
"Speaking of this, I heard in a trance that the daughter of the rich Zhu Lian's family was taken captive by the rogue on the way out of the city to flee! Alas! I heard that she is a girl with excellent colors...... It's a pity ......."
"What a pity! Do we deserve to be killed and robbed by the sons and daughters of our poor families? He is rich and unkind, and he wants me to say, this is deserved! My uncle's granddaughter was taken away as a coolie by King Haiwen's shrimp soldiers and crabs, why don't you sigh a pity? ”
"Okay, you, when Yangcheng was in turmoil two months ago, you didn't take advantage of the fire to rob and forcibly take in two concubines who didn't cost money? What else do you say about the poor people! The real poor are honest people like me who can't even marry a daughter-in-law! ”
", don't pretend to be pitiful, you've done less bad things? Do you need me to count everything I know for you? ”
……
Several people dressed in officer and soldier uniforms gathered together and chatted about the day. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoOutside this mansion, no one has beaten the drum for a long time, and Yangcheng Taishou fled with his family on the day of King Haiwen's siege, and was intercepted and beheaded by Helian County. Later, King Haiwen fled, and Helian County was affected and reprimanded, and was sent back to Yumen Pass to guard the border, leaving only thousands of soldiers and horses to guard the city. The new Taishou appointed by the imperial court has not yet arrived, and Yangcheng has since entered a state of ownerlessness for more than 50 days. Until a few days ago, a decree came from the capital, ordering Zheng Jingming, the prince of Zhenguo, to lead troops to replace the soldiers and horses left behind by Helian County, and take over the government affairs and city defense of Yangcheng.
Several officers and soldiers were chatting energetically, when they suddenly heard someone cough heavily, "My lord is here!" Don't get up yet? ”
Looking back, it was the master of the yamen who led a few guards and surrounded a young man, standing at the door.
"Master Guan! Who is this ......? Several officers and soldiers stood up, and saw that the young man was wearing a brocade robe, wearing a jade crown, and his face was white and blue, and he looked like he was seriously ill, and secretly wondered if this person would be an idler assigned by Zheng Jingming to sit in Yangcheng.
"This is Lord Zheng!" Master Guan introduced, "Now all the things in Yangcheng are handled by Lord Zheng, you wait to report them one by one, so that you can send them!" ”
"Master Guan......" Master Zheng raised his hand and interrupted Master Guan, "I have just arrived, and I am ill, and it has been ten days since I entered Yangcheng, and I only came to the Yamen today to meet with you. I am not a polite person, and I do not like others to be polite to me, and you have just talked happily, and I am glad to see it, and there is no need to be restrained in front of me. Blessings! ”
A man who looked like a small man approached in response and bowed down to listen to the order: "The brothers have worked hard, give the brothers a few taels of silver to drink a meal of flower wine, which is considered to be my dedication to everyone." ”
The officers and soldiers were overjoyed, they didn't expect the new city guard "Lord Zheng" to be so good at doing favors, and while happily taking the silver ingot, they couldn't stop bowing down to thank them, "Lord Zheng is too polite...... Lord Zheng is really bold...... It is a great honor for us to be able to work for Master Zheng...... Lord Zheng is sent, and we all obey it......"
"You don't have to be polite, I am in the position of the city guard, and I have some official business to trouble you. At present, Master Guan has already told me that I took the Zheng family army to guard Yangcheng, and I expect that the Liukou will be restrained in the future. In recent months, Yangcheng has been hit hard, and now all industries are waiting to be developed, in order to recreate the prosperity of the past, you and I need to work together to ...... for the people."
"Bang"!
Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden loud noise, followed by a panicked shout, "The remnants of King Haven have come to kill again!" Run! ”
Master Zheng's face changed, and he looked at Master Guan in surprise. Master Guan shook his head and sighed, and the officers and soldiers who were happy at the right time also had bitter faces, and walked slowly to the weapons room one by one, each took a few weapons such as bows, arrows, and long knives, and arched his hand towards Master Zheng, "My lord, I will wait to guard the doors of the yamen." ”
"Wait!" Lord Zheng stopped them, "With the Zheng family army I brought guarding the city gate, and I didn't hear the signal corner, how did those remnants enter the city?" ”
"My lord doesn't know," Master Guan sighed, "King Haiwen's people have always been elusive, and when they first captured Yang City, they attacked it from the inside, and the defense of the city gates was not seen at all. The towers and moats of Yangcheng have no effect at all. ”
"Such a miracle? Could it be ...... What secret passages are there in the city for them to sneak into? Master Zheng was not stupid, and immediately pointed out something suspicious.
"Yes, everyone thinks the same way, but General Helian in front of him almost turned the entire Yangcheng upside down, and he didn't find the secret passage. I don't know what kind of plan Master Zheng has? Master Guan asked this without care, obviously not having much hope for this Lord Zheng.
"After King Haven was captured, he was able to escape, but he also relied on this secret passage?" Master Zheng pondered.
At this time, there was chaos everywhere in Yangcheng, and the remnants of King Haiwen were burning, killing and looting, and several important places in the city were burned to the ground. They appeared so suddenly that they were caught off guard. By the time Zheng Jiajun quelled the rebellion in the city, it was noon the next day.
Master Zheng had not slept all night, and his eyes were red. The little guy beside him persuaded in a low voice: "Master, the thieves have been ambushed, you don't have to worry, you have just recovered from a serious illness, don't be tired anymore." ”
"Ambush? What is the punishment? They killed more than 170 people, but our soldiers and horses killed and captured less than 100 thieves! You call me a city guard, what kind of face do you have to go to sleep? Today is the first time I went to the government council, and this kind of thing happened, they are slapping me in the face! ”
"Master, you are so careful. What dare those thieves provoke you? It's just risking death to fight for some benefits. Ming'er ordered people to step up patrols in the city and block those suspicious places, Nahelian County couldn't find the secret passage, not necessarily our Zheng family army couldn't find it. ”
"Okay, Chang Fu, what you said is very good, let's go outside and take a look!"
Master Zheng stood up, took Chang Fu's collar around his neck, and strode out. Chang Fu had a bitter face and complained: "Master, I haven't slept all night, and I have to go outside to toss, you are an iron body, but the villain can't do it......" )
