Chapter 601: Blocking the road and shouting grievances
Just got off the dock, but after a few words, Zhao Zhenji already deeply felt the ubiquitous constraints, and he began to think about whether it was too Meng Lang to come straight to Zhenhai.
At that moment, there was a commotion outside.
"Who?!"
"Stop him!"
Sun Piyang's shout came, "Be careful in other directions, all the pawns listen to the order, raise your sword!" ”
Qian Yuan didn't care about Zhao Zhenji, but he couldn't care less about Zhao Zhenji's life and death...... Dying in Zhenhai, that's really a big deal, if he is stabbed to death, well, Qian Yuan will also have bad luck!
Therefore, when I went out to greet him today, although Qian Yuan did not show up, a team of guards from the Qian family came.
The carriage had stopped, and Zhao Zhenji jerked down the curtain to see that an old man in tattered clothes was being pulled to the ground by the guards.
"Stop!"
Master Huang probed out and saw a white cloth on the ground, which was picked up and unfolded by the entourage on the side, with the word "injustice" in blood red on it.
Sun Piyang gritted his teeth and looked at Peng Feng beside him, "Careless?" ”
This kind of thing should be taken over by the local magistrate as an example, although Zhao Zhenji is the governor, he can't forcibly intervene, but the governor can grab it.
Peng Feng simply replied: "The young master ordered, no matter, let him toss!" ”
The originally lively road was silent, only occasionally there was the sound of horses snorting, Zhao Zhenji personally got out of the car and picked up the old man with tears, while Tang Shunzhi, Song Jizu, and Sun Piyang on the side were all silent.
There are more and more people coming around, no matter what the occasion, there are always people who eat melons, until Wu Chengqi, the governor of Ningbo Prefecture, gallops on horseback.
Two months ago, Qian Yuan rushed to Hangzhou to snatch back Wang Zhi, and the gap between him and Hu Zongxian finally made up for it a little bit by this incident, and Tang Shunzhi asked Wu Chengqi to be transferred to Ningbo Prefecture.
After listening to Sun Piyang's expressionless introduction, Master Huang leaned into Zhao Zhenji's ear, "This person was originally a magistrate of Taizhou Mansion, but he was a native of Huizhou Mansion, and he commanded his own troops in the Governor's Mansion a few years ago. ”
In short, this guy is Hu Zongxian's man.
Zhao Zhenji snorted coldly, the first time he came to Zhenhai, there were people blocking the road and shouting grievances, obviously, this place is not as good as rumored.
There are two parties to the matter of blocking the road and shouting grievances, one is the people who have grievances, and the other is ...... Naturally, he is the master of the blue sky.
Zhao Zhenji, who inexplicably got a sense of psychological satisfaction, decided to take on the case, and he felt that this might be a breakthrough.
In a warehouse not far from here, Zhou Fu closed the window with a smile, poured a cup of herbal tea and said: "Xiangshan is in turmoil, slaughtering the people, Qian Zhancai also seems to have a headache." ”
Wu Zhi nodded and said: "I just received news that the guerrilla Yang Wen Institute stationed east of Hou Tao Mountain has purchased a large amount of salted meat and dried fish, and the smoke has not been extinguished since the afternoon. ”
Obviously, Zhao Zhenji went to Zhenhai, and the Ningbo Mansion did not send troops, which is unreasonable.
"According to the rules, if there is chaos in Xiangshan County, it should be Yang Wen's department to attack." Zhou Fu said in a low voice: "Early this morning, Qian Zhancai and his family entered Hou Taoshan. ”
"Hou Taoshan?" Wu Zhi paused, and the corners of his mouth outlined a hideous smile, "Being in the place of death, it's really a waste of fame!" ”
"It's not necessarily for nothing." Zhou Fu shook his head, "There is Weiyuan City on the peak of Hou Tao Mountain, hundreds of soldiers are stationed, and people come and go on the dock on weekdays, but the road to the warehouse in the mountain is guarded by soldiers. ”
"But if Yang Wen travels far to Xiangshan, Zhenhai is empty, even if there are more than 100 Qian family guards, it will be useless." Wu Zhi sneered: "Not to mention that the other side is Jinji Mountain!" ”
Although the young people in Zhaobao Village at the foot of Jinji Mountain are all from Wang Zhi's lineage, they have all seen blood and eaten meat...... If the warehouse on the other side of the river is on fire, can they switch to a vegetarian diet and push the meat to their mouths?
Zhou Fu glanced through the crack in the window, "Wait a little longer, let's see what Zhao Zhenji means." ”
Zhao Zhenji did not live up to the trust of Zhou Fu and Wu Zhi, and went to the county government as soon as he entered the city and brought the old man out.
"Yes, definitely!" The old man had tears and snot on his face, "They are going to Zhoushan!" ”
After some careful inquiry, Zhao Zhenji roughly figured out, this old man is a native of Xiangshan County, at the end of last year, the woes gradually subsided, he opened up wasteland outside the city to farm, but the wokos attacked, the three sons died, he saw the pirates go north by boat, and concluded that they were entrenched in Zhoushan.
Asked the servants to send the people down and take care of them, Master Huang shook his head lightly and said: "Dong Weng, this matter should not be neglected, if the Japanese go north, they may not go to Zhoushan." ”
Zhao Zhenji responded angrily, and he also knew in his heart that the so-called widows entrenched in Zhoushan actually referred to Wang Zhi's subordinates.
After Wang Zhi was appeased, his forces were divided into three parts, part of which was in Jinji Mountain on the other side of Hou Tao Mountain, part was in the nest of the Wa Kingdom, and the largest part was on the main island of Zhoushan.
But obviously, if you want to make a fuss about this matter, you must not involve Wang Zhi...... Two months ago, that guy was able to enter Hangzhou day and night, surrounded the governor's yamen, and fished out Wang Zhi, but now he is in Zhenhai, Qian Zhancai's lair!
"Xiangshan County reported hundreds of dead and injured people, but ......"
"But just now, that old man swore that just the two villages on the left and right were all killed, at least there were no more than 100 people." Master Huang shook his head, "And there are countless Japanese robbers in Xiangshan County, and the old man said very clearly, the Japanese have fled, six sea ships, about a thousand people." ”
Seeing Zhao Zhenji close his eyes and recuperate, Master Huang asked tentatively: "Only say that the trouble is rising, but not anything else?" ”
Zhao Zhenji was about to speak, when footsteps came from outside, and the entourage reported outside the door, "My lord, it's not early, but you want to set up a meal?" ”
Master Huang touched his stomach and said with a smile: "Hungry, now Ningbo is famous for its exquisite and chic dishes in the southeast, and you can have a feast today." ”
A servant of the county government came in with a food box with his head bowed, five dishes and one soup, and a pot of scalded flower carvings.
Zhao Zhenji squinted at the servant until the other party disappeared outside the door.
"Dong Weng?"
Zhao Zhenji raised his hand and took out a square-folded piece of paper from under the plate of pine nut corn closest to him, glanced at it a few times, handed it to Master Huang, and sighed: "The water in Ningbo is really muddy enough!" ”
Master Huang looked at it carefully, shook his head with a wry smile, and was speechless.
"Look, how true is this and how much is false?"
"There are enough shadows, and there seems to be nothing." Master Huang sighed: "But Qian Zhancai is greedy for money, and there are many people in the southeast who know it." ”
Zhao Zhenji squinted his eyes and thought for a while, and then ordered in a low voice: "The manpower that came in batches should also arrive tomorrow, scatter the manpower and inquire." ”
In the Hou Tao Mountain next door, Qian Yuan was making tamales with great interest, of course, in this era, it is not called tamales, but rice noodle meat.
Xiao Qi swallowed his saliva, "It's too fat, isn't it?" ”
"What you want is this kind of pork belly, what is there to eat lean meat?!" Qian Yuan picked up the chopsticks, stirred the pork belly that had been marinated for half an hour in the bowl, and whispered with a smile: "After going to the sea, in Shanghai, the two dishes I made the most are steamed pork." ”
"And what about the Tao?"
"Steamed ham with squash." Qian Yuan smiled and said, "It's delicious, it's convenient, it's delicious." ”
Spread the sliced potatoes on the bottom, then carefully pick up the pork belly, roll in the rice noodles, and place in the steamer.
Boil over high heat, change to medium heat, change to low heat after a quarter of an hour, bake about three quarters of an hour before and after, sprinkle with chopped green onions, the fragrance comes to the nose, the steamer is still on the stove, and it provokes Xiao Qi to put a piece into his mouth.
"Salty?"
"Just right...... You taste a piece ......"
"Uh...... Not bad, not bad. Out of the corner of his eye, Qian Yuan caught a glimpse of Yang Wen at the door, and said with a smile: "Take it in, this dish is said to be Jiangxi cuisine at the earliest, just to please your mother-in-law." ”
After sending Xiao Qi away, Qian Yuan nodded towards the door, and took a towel to wipe his hands, "What?" The one who ran into the road again and shouted injustice? ”
"Not really." Yang Wen leaned in and said, "Young Master, did the little one really take the troops to Xiangshan?" ”
"Of course." Qian Yuan's face darkened, "I didn't expect the Fenghua Wu family to be so ruthless, pretending to be a Japanese robber and recruiting Zhao Dazhou!" ”
Yang Wen hesitated for a moment and then whispered, "I'm afraid that that person won't be too quiet this time......"
"It doesn't matter!" Qian Yuan waved his hand, "Release the news, let him investigate, don't care about anyone!" ”
After a pause, Qian Yuan sneered: "Whether he will fall into this pit or not depends on his luck Zhao Dazhou!" ”
"Yes." Yang Wen bowed down.
Qian Yuan was about to go back to the house, when he suddenly stopped and said softly: "Tell the brothers to be careful, Jingchuan Gong, Song Jizu, and Sun Piyang are all surrounded by guards to make sure that everything is safe." ”
Yang Wenying said: "What the young master said is that if they don't care about it...... What a hassle! ”
"Also, don't let Zhao Dazhou die, if he dies, I can't tell the young master."
