276 The concubine of the Zheng family
There are many concubines who have found a channel to secretly surrender to Anton Hua, but Anton Hua is very vigilant, he is worried that it is a trick of the nobles, and he does not dare to accept it easily, so he only hangs people first, and then sends someone to secretly investigate the details of the other party.
Among these concubines who came to surrender, the one who worried Anton Hua the most was a young man named Zheng Kang. Zheng Kang was born in the Zheng family, but he is not a descendant, but a partial house, he himself is a concubine, but even in the concubine, he is quite miserable.
The Zheng family has been entrenched in Jiaozhou for many years, scraping the oily skin off the people, and accumulating a terrible fortune in decades. The Zheng family has a big family and many descendants, Zheng Kang is one of them, and he is still the worst one.
His mother Fang is a talented girl, and she is also from a scholarly family, not only born beautiful, but also a well-known talented girl. It's a pity that the family business is too small, and the face is thin. She had a childhood sweetheart fiancé named Liu Yixian, who was also a well-read poet and very talented. However, after all, an infatuation could not withstand the glory of wealth and glory, Liu Yixian tried and failed repeatedly, and then someone gave him a trick.
For the sake of a bright future, he betrayed Fang Rou to Zheng Renzhe of Zheng's partial house. Speaking of Zheng Renzhe, this person has a well-known nickname 'Zheng scumbag' in Jiaozhou, and there are also people called 'real scum', who is a complete and undeceived scumbag.
His identity is embarrassing, he was originally a concubine, but he has been raised in his mother's name since he was born. My mother-in-law has a son of her own, where can I look at him? and deliberately raised him crookedly. This person bullied the maid when he was a child, and he beat and scolded endlessly.
His grandmother deliberately found someone to teach him kung fu, of course, it was not a powerful real kung fu, but just let him practice external skills. Since he was five years old, he has been holding a small wooden sword all day long. From time to time, he would practice archery with a small bow and arrow.
My mother-in-law didn't have a good heart, so she directly bought the cheapest and most inferior slaves for him to target. Zheng Renzhe took a wooden sword and poked it at Endeavor and shot it with a small bow and arrow. At that time, he used a wooden sword. The arrowhead is sharpened bamboo, which is not very powerful. When he grew older, the wooden sword was replaced by an iron sword, and the bamboo arrow was replaced by an iron arrow with barbs, which was a murder weapon that killed people.
He has been accustomed to taking people as targets since he was a child, so he naturally doesn't take human life seriously, and he doesn't know how many people have died since he was a child. At first, it was the lowest slaves who died, and when he grew older, he tortured the little servants and maids around him.
And then later. His mother-in-law ordered someone to teach him personnel as early as possible, and he lost his body. When he was discussing his marriage, he deliberately married a fierce woman to enter the door. That person didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Zheng Renzhe, but he was not polite to Zheng Renzhe's women at all.
She is also smart and does not do anything to those who are being favored, but only tortures those who are not favored. She doesn't directly ask for people's lives, but stays tormented every day. Zheng Renzhe is a gentleman, and he has done a lot of things to bully men and women to seize the family business. It won't be long before the woman who snatched it back will lose her freshness, and wait for the freshness to pass. These people are left to the mother's torture, and Zheng Renzhe never cares.
When the Fang family arrived at the Zheng family, Zheng Renzhe was fresh for a while, and he tossed in different ways. It wasn't until she became pregnant and gave birth to Zheng Kang that Zheng Renzhe lost interest in her. Fang was still in confinement, and he was directly reduced to a rough girl. He was sent to the pulp washing hall.
It was winter at that time, and she gave birth to a child just when she needed to make up for her body. But he had to soak his hands in cold water every day to rub his clothes, and his hands were directly frozen and cracked. She lost her body and fell ill.
If it weren't for the fact that the Chinese New Year was coming, the housemother was worried that the child would be unlucky, and reluctantly agreed to supply the child with some rice soup every day, Zheng Kang would not have survived at all.
Zheng Kang also had a big fate, and he survived by relying on the little rice soup every day and the pitiful amount of milk from the Fang family. But life is alive, but his life with the Fang clan is not easy at all. The Fang clan has been staying in the pulp washing hall, and he has a lot of work every day, not only to wash the clothes of the master, but also to wash the clothes of the slaves.
Zheng Kang was only five years old when he was sent to help in the kitchen. At first, he washed vegetables, and later asked him to chop wood. He couldn't get into the clan study, so the Fang family secretly taught him at night, fortunately, Zheng Kang was smart, and the Fang family had a good memory, she taught Zheng Kang to memorize the books she had read, and Zheng Kang could be in his head.
When Zheng Kang grew up, he found an opportunity to help the Fang family be exempted from labor, and he no longer had to do the hardest and most tiring work, but helped Zheng Renzhe manage some industries.
If this is the case, even if he hates the Zheng family, he will not think of betraying the Zheng family to surrender to Andong Hua. But the housewife is too ruthless, he just managed a little bit of property in Zheng Renzhe's hands, and the housewife set a trap to kill him, if he wasn't alert, he would have died a long time ago.
Even so, he lost Zheng Renzhe's trust and the errand in his hands, so he could only do nothing all day long. Seeing that he is old, but he doesn't even have serious family affairs, the housewife wants to stuff him with a woman who has a relationship with his brother-in-law!
Zheng Kang couldn't bear it, he carefully analyzed the situation in Jiaozhou, and always looked at Andonghua's performance. Although the Zheng family thinks that Anton Hua is gone, he feels that this is not the case.
However, he did not tell Zheng Renzhe his thoughts, and only secretly discussed with the Fang family his plan to surrender to Andong Hua. The Fang clan had been tortured for so many years, and he was originally less than forty, but he was already full of gorgeous hair, and wrinkles were crawling all over a thin face.
She has been struggling to survive until now, and the only concern in her heart is Zheng Kang's son. She also hates the Zheng family, and at the same time hopes that Zheng Kang can have a good future, so she has no objection to Zheng Kang's plan at all. The only thing she was worried about was that Anton Hua was not as powerful as Zheng Kang thought, and Zheng Kang's hope was gone.
Zheng Kang believed in his vision very much, and after he persuaded the Fang family, he quietly surrendered to An Donghua.
His identity is special, so much so that Anton Hua saw him at a glance from the concubines who came to surrender. Not only An Donghua, but even those strategists also cared about Zheng Kang very much.
Soon, Zheng Kang's life was placed in front of Anton Hua. This information is very detailed, not only clearly writing what happened to the Fang family, but also including Zheng Kang's work in the kitchen since he was a child, his idea of pleasing Zheng Renzhe when he grew up, helping the Fang family to be exempted from labor, helping Zheng Renzhe manage the industry, and later being framed by the master's mother and escaping.
Such a person is at least smart, and he must be full of hatred for the Zheng family.
Even so, Anton Hua and the strategists did not take it lightly, and first tried it before accepting Zheng Kang's surrender. However, acceptance is acceptance, and they don't trust Zheng Kang much.
In order to show his sincerity, Zheng Kang directly sold some important news of the Zheng family. These news belong to the Zheng family's insider, and even An Donghua has not found out yet. Zheng Kang is so familiar with current affairs, and An Donghua also expressed it. His sincerity was to help Zheng Kang solve the trouble of marriage.
It's not that Zheng Kang can't solve this matter by himself, but he wants to see Anton Hua's strength, after all, Anton Hua is too hidden, although he thinks that Anton Hua is not as simple as it seems on the surface, but this is just his speculation, and he doesn't know anything about Anton Hua's methods.
Anton Hua solved this trouble for Zheng Kang, and also meant to show him a little. Zheng Kang was also simply, as soon as the trouble was solved, he gave An Donghua an idea.
Bandits are rampant in Jiaozhou, and these mountain bandits have collusion with the government, or with the Zheng family, and even confess to the Zheng family every year. When they made offerings, the government naturally did not trouble them, but they suffered the merchants and the people who came and went.
Zheng Kang's idea is to let Anton Hua's black eat black, and it is naturally impossible to eat all the mountain bandits, but it can be done step by step.
As soon as he said this idea, Antonhua and the strategists thought it was a good idea. It just so happened that there must be a place for the people recruited by Antonhua, and although the valley was not small, it had always been isolated from the world, and it was impossible for people to stay in it all the time.
But if you eat the mountain bandits and occupy a certain mountain and disguise themselves as mountain bandits, they can not only confuse the Zheng family, but also exist reasonably, and make some extra money. And if it is rolled out, it may become a huge intelligence network!
The more Anton Hua thought about it, the more he felt that the idea was good, anyway, as long as the annual supply was made on time, the government or the Zheng family didn't care who the person who occupied the mountain was!
Once you've made up your mind, it's time to pick a place. After all, Jiaozhou is such a big area, and it is a problem to choose which place to start. However, Zheng Kang has a hand, and he took the opportunity to help Zheng Renzhe manage the industry before, and almost remembered the situation of all the mountains in Jiaozhou.
Which mountain bandits are extremely vicious, and which location is important, all in his mind.
After Antonhua found out, he asked him to keep everything he knew. Zheng Kang made up his mind to join Antonhua, so he didn't play tricks, and honestly revealed all the information he knew.
Knowing that his mother was not in good health, Anton-hwa gave him a fifty-year-old ginseng. Fifty-year-old ginseng is already a rare one, and even if you have silver, you may not be able to buy it. Zheng Kang was grateful, and he made up his mind to be honest and loyal in the future.
Anton Hua kept an eye on him, and did not fully believe him, he copied a copy of Zheng Kang's things and handed it to his henchmen to investigate, and after a month, the news was almost found, Anton Hua discussed with the strategists and selected a mountain.
It is a point on the way from the capital to the capital of Jiaozhou, of course, it is not impossible to make a detour, but generally no one will do this.
By occupying this place, it is possible for them to intercept the connection between the Zheng family and the capital.
The mountain bandits who happened to occupy this place were extremely vicious, and they happened to kill them all, which can be regarded as avenging the souls who died in their hands.
Anton Hua was very cautious, and the people sent were divided into two ways, one bright and one dark, the bright ones were all the people who had been bought before, and after some training, they were already quite large-scale, and the ones in the dark were the good hands of Anton Hua's men, and they didn't dare to break them easily.
