Chapter 057: A Loyal Man

Zhao Fu Zhao of Zhaozhuang in Wu'an County is a good person, loyal and kind, even if he is frugal, he must help people's difficulties, and those who have encroached on their land do not argue with them, and those who have debts do not ask for it, so that the people in the township respect it.

Seeing the Jin people raging and the people suffering, Zhao Fu gave rice to help the people, and on the other hand, he bought food from the Daimyo's Mansion and Henan to prepare for the shortage.

As soon as the sky was bright, Zhao Fu cleaned up and was about to go out, when someone came in to report, saying that there were two public people from outside the door, claiming to be from the county government of Wu'an County, and they came to meet him by the order of the county.

Zhao Fu sighed in his heart, the people from the county government came to the door at this moment, but I was afraid that there would be no good thing.

Two young men, led by their families, strode in. In front of him, he wore a long shirt, with a long body and an iron spear on his back. The one in the back is majestic and abnormal, with huge bones, a long knife hanging from his waist, and the two of them are magnificent, and it seems that they are the master and servant.

Zhao Fu secretly admired the majesty of the comer, and stepped forward to salute: "Old man Zhao Fu, I don't know what is the important matter for the two dukes to come this time?"

The young man dressed as a scholar in front of him stepped forward and arched his hand: "In Xia Wang Song, this is my brother Zhang Heng, who is a righteous army in Taihang Mountain, and I have seen Zhao Yuanwai." ”

"Righteous army, aren't you two from the county?"

Zhao Fu was stunned for a moment, couldn't help but glance at his subordinates, and asked, "The two of you came to find the old man, I don't know what the matter is?"

There are thousands of righteous troops in the Taihang Mountains, and they are all in the village, each consolidating one side, but they don't know where these two people who came today are sacred.

Wang Song said with a smile: "Outside, don't hide it, the brothers under my subordinates had a big battle with Fanzi a month ago, and most of them were killed and injured, and the rest were also injured and sick. There is no way to do it, so I came to ask Zhao Yuan's foreign minister for help and sponsor some grain and grass. I don't know what the staff thinks?"

Zhao Fu nodded, secretly thinking in his heart, it turned out that he was here to fight the autumn wind. He turned his head and whispered a few words to the little servant.

"I don't know where the two brothers are and how many times they have been killed? Let's listen to it, and let the old man see it. ”

It's a pity that the two of them have good skins. Not to mention eating and drinking, it is really funny to kill the gold thief.

Zhao Fu's arrogance, in the eyes of Wang Song and Zhang Heng, couldn't help but make Zhang Heng, who was as hot as fire, angry.

"Old Han Hugh wants to underestimate my brothers. A month ago, when I killed Xiongling in Hedong, my brother not only killed more than 1,000 sons, but also saved the prince of the small species. This matter is known to the whole world, if you don't believe it, you can ask around!"

Zhao Fu stood up in surprise and said loudly: "Forgive me for being clumsy, you two are the Hedong Loyal and Righteous Army, who of the two heroes is the "Saibawang"?"

Wang Song and Zhang Hengmian looked at each other. After more than a month of hard work, the matter has been spread, and the reputation of "Saibawang" has also spread, which can really be called an accident.

Zhang Heng's face eased at this time, and he introduced aloud: "The big official in front of you is the big official of Wang Songwang, who is known as the "King of Saiba" by the small species, and is also the leader of our Hedong Loyal and Righteous Army. Keep your eyes open and look more clearly, and don't recognize the wrong person in the future!"

"Don't be rude in front of the sage!"

Wang Song glared at Zhang Heng, turned his head and bowed: "My brothers and I are all rude men, and Zhao Yuan is panicking. Below is Wang Song, the commander of the Loyal and Righteous Army!"

"It's already a Hedong envoy canonized by the imperial court!"

Zhang Heng flattened his face and added loudly on the side.

Zhao Fu looked at Wang Song carefully, nodded frequently, and said: "In the battle of Xiongling, Wang Daguan killed the Quartet, defeated the Jin people, and became famous all over the world!" When I saw it today, it was really a hero out of a teenager. Heroes are above, please be worshiped by the old man!"

Wang Song hurriedly helped him up, and several people sat down again.

"The officialdom is full of corpses and vegetarians, and the sergeants will only insult the people, and when the Jin people come, they will be ruined. The dignified China is full of incorruptible and shameful, reluctant, and stealing people. Insensitive and scattered, no wonder the Jin army will be destroyed as soon as it arrives, and it will be defeated or surrendered!"

Zhao Fu's face was full of hatred and regret, angry and unhappy, all of which were worried about the country and the people.

"The two of them came, and the old man understood it in his heart. The old man will do his best to deal with the matter of grain and grass, and the two of you don't need to worry. ”

The subordinate brought 200 taels of silver up, Zhao Fu's face turned red, and he said loudly: "Go down, take another 800 taels of silver immediately, make up enough for a thousand taels, what to say, you can't chill the heart of a righteous man!"

"Zhao Yuanwai's loyalty and righteousness can be seen every day, and he admires it to the end!"

Wang Song said: "Fanzi killed my comrades, enslaved my people, and everywhere he went, everything was ruined and corpses were everywhere!" In Xiayuan, with a micro drive, regardless of life and death, swear to kill the gold thief!"

"Just ......"

Wang Songsu bowed and said: "If the staff donates all their food, how should they make a living? It's better to do what you can and don't have to spend so much. ”

"The big officials need food and grass, but for the country and the people, the old man can do his best, and he will not let the big officials return empty-handed."

Zhao Fu shook his head and said, "The big officials don't have to push. There is surplus food in the next family, food and clothing, and the officials do not have to worry. ”

Wang Songsu bowed and said: "Zhao Yuanwai, I am a brother of the loyal and righteous army who has seven or eight hundred dead and wounded, thank you!"

Zhao Fu returned the salute and said with a smile: "Wang Daguan, the fathers and villagers of Zhaozhuang and Wu'an County, I will be grateful to you for taking care of you in the future!"

In this troubled world, where can you get a safe life, if you have the protection of the loyal and righteous army, the safety of Zhuangzi and his family can always be guaranteed.

He himself is a household on the Zhuangzi, with 10,000 acres of grain fields, and he can receive tens of thousands of stones of grain in previous years. Who knows, the Jin people went south, burned, killed and looted, the tenants fled, the fertile land was barren, and it seems that only two or three percent of this year's harvest remained.

Wang Song pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Zhao Yuanwai, once the autumn is crisp and the sky turns cold, the Jin people will go south in a big way, and then the Great Song Dynasty may be in danger of overthrowing the country." If Zhao Yuanwai is willing, he will temporarily accommodate himself on Taihang Mountain, or temporarily live in the iron workshop, and he will lead his brothers to resist the gold thief. ”

Zhao Fu stood up and bowed: "Thank you, big official!"

"Outside, if you give away so many things, aren't you afraid that the two of us are liars?"

Zhang Heng's eyes widened and he looked at Zhao Fu puzzled.

"The two are dignified, Wang Daguan is even more calm, peaceful, and has the potential of a dragon and a tiger, in this troubled world, over time, maybe there will be something to do. How can others have such momentum!"

He glanced at Wang Song and said with a smile: "Besides, the old man also practiced martial arts when he was young, and with a pair of iron spears from a big official, ordinary people can't do it!"

Wang Song and Zhang Heng smiled at each other, they didn't expect that this Zhao Fu was still a fine person.

Zhang Heng nodded and said, "The staff really has eyesight." A pair of iron spears of the big officials, but there are twenty or thirty pounds, and when it comes to the battlefield, even the warriors of Fanzi can't help but be able to resist the divine power of the big officials!"

Zhao Fu nodded again and again, and the people in the hall were also chattering, all looking at the two of them with curious eyes.

Zhao Fu asked tentatively: "Dare to ask the big officials, have you ever been married, can you have a marriage contract?"

Wang Song was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "I have never been married, and there is no marriage contract." Dare to ask the staff, what is the matter?"

"Daguanren, there is a distant niece below, five out of ten this year, and she is one in a hundred! My cousin is a high-ranking official in the imperial court, and the big official is ......."

Before Zhao Fu's words fell, Wang Song hurriedly stopped: "Thank you, the Huns have not been destroyed, why do you want to be at home." At present, the army of gold thieves is heading south, and the wind and rain are coming. I just want to lead the brothers to swear to kill the gold thief, and never die! The kindness of the staff is appreciated in my heart!"

Zhao Fu was not reluctant, so he had to give up. Although he has a good eye for Wang Songqing, he has not yet reached the point of putting his heart into his heart.

Besides, even if Wang Song agreed, it was unknown whether his cousin in the court would agree.

When Wang Song and the others came out, they each breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother, you stay, wait for the food to be loaded, and bring it back to the cottage. I'll go to Handan County again and buy some more food to go back. ”

Wang Song explained Zhang Heng and said in a deep voice: "I don't know what Dong Ping is like, so I can only wait for the news to go back to the cottage."

Zhang Heng asked suspiciously: "Daguan, do we really have to prepare so much food, will we definitely go south this time?"

Wang Song nodded and said, "We are now seven or eight hundred brothers, and there may be several thousand soon." The war is fought for food and money, and without these things, the brothers would be scattered!"

The golden man rode back and forth without a trace, using captivity as a supply, coming and going like the wind. If Wang Song's memory is correct, Taiyuan City will soon fall, and the Jin people's east and west armies will go south and surround Tokyo City, causing "Jingkang's shame".

The lands east of Hedong and Hebei will be the first to be ruined, and by that time, there will be tens of millions of people suffering in Lianghe and Gyeonggi.

Today's plan can only catch up, and whether it can turn the tide is really slim.

Wang Song was about to leave, but he saw that in front of him, many Song people were holding swords and dancing guns, panting, sweating, and coming along the official road, led by four or five people, all of whom were riding on horses, luxuriously dressed, and graceful elders.

The thirty or forty people behind seemed to be the bankers of these people, some of whom were full of quivers on their backs and holding big bows in their hands.

"Dare to ask, is the king commander of the loyal army?"

When they arrived, the group stopped, and several people in the lead got off their horses, and an elderly man in his fifties wiped the beads of sweat from his head and stepped forward to ask.

"It's down there. I don't know what the old man is about?"

Wang Song saw that everyone seemed to have no malicious intent, and stepped forward to talk.

"Brother Sun, Brother Li, Master Zhang, how did you all come on this hot day."

Zhao Fu ran out of the gate of the village and bowed his hand to Wang Song: "The big officials, I have notified all the virtuous people, and I ask the big officials to forgive me!"

A man in brocade clothes said: "I heard that the king's commander is coming, and I want to come to pay a visit." To fight against thieves, everyone has the responsibility of the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is also necessary to raise grain and grass. ”

Another person also said: "Brother Sun is right, we will do our best to raise all the grain and grass needed by the loyal and righteous army." In the future, the safety of this Zhuangzi will be bothered by the king's commander!"

The crowd was gossiping. Wang Song waved his hand lightly, and the crowd suddenly fell silent.

"Rest assured, the Loyal and Righteous Army will do their best to protect your safety as soon as they are in Cizhou!"
