Chapter 244: The Return of the Vultures

Zhang Xiaowu immediately asked Wang Yijin what was going on, and Wang Yijin couldn't tell clearly, this Wusong was actually escorted all the way to Mucheng by the beggar gang, but Zhao Suo didn't even see the ten soldiers he carried.

"Could it be that Zhao Suo took the money and fled?" Wang Yijin guessed.

"Zhao Suo won't do that." Zhang Xiaowu said, "He is not greedy for money and lustful, but he is righteous, and he definitely can't do such a thing." ”

Wang Yijin said: "But he ...... loose."

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Let Wu Song rest well, I estimate that I will come to him again in the future, I handed him over to you, I need a healthy him." ”

"What if he's looking for you?"

"You just tell him that when he recovers from his injuries, I will naturally take the initiative to find him."

"Whoa."

Snow ginseng is very precious to the people, but for the Murong family, snow ginseng is not a very precious thing, so when Guan Cheng found Murong Thirteen Murong Yin, he also very generously took out the snow ginseng treasured at home, and asked: "Captain Guan, Zhang City Lord is in good health, why do you need this snow ginseng?" There are many military doctors in my city, and if he is unwell, he can be driven by him. ”

Guan Cheng said: "The city lord is fine, but our military advisor is sick." ”

Murong Yin said: "Who is the military advisor?" ”

"Wu Song, can the thirteenth prince recognize you?"

Murong Yin thought about it for a long time and couldn't think of who this Wusong was, and he hadn't even heard his name, so he had to smile bitterly and shake his head. He knew that this Guancheng liked women, so he arranged for Guancheng to stay in a prostitution house, which Cheng thought that although Guancheng was lewd but not lustful, he rode back to Mucheng that night and sent the snow ginseng in time.

Zhang Xiaowu was quite surprised to see Guan Cheng come back so early, praising him for focusing on the overall situation, Guan Cheng smiled and said that there are women who can sleep together, but there are few brothers who can sleep together......

Wu Song recovered a lot after a few days of injury, Zhang Xiaowu brought everyone to come to condole, everyone and Wu Song are old friends in the Dead Soldier Camp, although Wu Song did not experience the moment of rapid development and growth of the Dead Soldier Camp, but he has long been his own person in everyone's hearts. And everyone is also very anxious about what happened to Wu Song, especially why Zhao Suo and others are missing.

What happened during this period, everyone couldn't put their minds at ease, so they simply came with Zhang Xiaowu.

Seeing that everyone had come to condole, Wu Song immediately bowed from the bed and thanked him, Zhang Xiaowu hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him and sat on the bed, and advised: "Mr. Wu doesn't have to get up, continue to rest." ”

Wu Song said: "I've almost rested, I've had a good rest these days, thank you for finding snow ginseng for me." ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Take care of your body, Mr. Wu still has a lot of use." ”

Wu Song immediately said: "My lord, Zhao Suo and more than 30 of them are about to be assigned to Lingnan Chongbian, they are incompetent, not only did they not save them, but even they themselves became wanted criminals. Survived and begged all the way back to Mucheng, just to pass the news to you. ”

Zhang Xiaowu frowned: "Mr. Wu, what happened?" ”

Wu Song said: "I waited until Yangzhou and found Guazhou Island, so I used my family relationship to build a good relationship with the Yangzhou master bookkeeper, and bought Naguazhou Island for only three thousand taels of silver." Zhao Suo and others spent another 2,000 taels of silver to build a river embankment and raise the terrain. Everything went very well, but the bad thing was the construction of the embankment.

After the embankment was repaired, the area of Guazhou was expanded by half, and the downstream river beach was exposed. After the river beach was exposed, the workers who repaired the river embankment found that a lot of sand gold appeared downstream, and Guazhou actually became a golden beach. ”

Hu Li exclaimed: "Then did the master book see Jin Sha's eyes red?" That's why I hurt you? The son of a bitch raised it, didn't she make friends with a white-eyed wolf? ”

Wu Song shook his head and said: "The master book and my Wu family have been friends for many years, and they are not so good, but they are also red-eyed. Although Yangzhou is the richest state capital of Shenghan, the reason is that Yangzhou produces sea salt, and there are countless salt dealers of all sizes, which has created Yangzhou's wealth. But this is the first time that the golden sand beach has appeared in Yangzhou, just imagine, if you can dig up gold directly, who is willing to take the risk of selling illicit salt, or endure the exploitation of the government to sell public salt. Yangzhou, no matter how big or small, came to watch the excitement, and even the farmers who built the river embankment did not repair the river embankment and turned to sand gold. Shajin appeared on Guazhou Island, and Guazhou Island is ours, so we naturally do not allow others to mine indiscriminately, and mining Shajin can easily lead to the collapse of the river embankment, and Zhao Suo takes people to guard it day and night. But day and night, there are still people who continue to come to steal. When I saw this, I consulted with Zhao Suo, this sand gold is a windfall, and it is popular with others, it is better to share it with others, they can collect it downstream, but they can't dig it upstream, so as not to damage the river embankment.

After such an announcement, tens of thousands of people flocked to Guazhou Island, and many people even asked to live on Guazhou Island. During this time, we built a lot of houses, and they even paid a lot of money to bury those simple thatched huts. Although we have opened the downstream of Golden Beach, many of them are insatiable and think that we occupy the most sandy land on Guazhou Island. A little bit of a little bully ruffian is not in the eyes of us, more than 40 of us, either returned to the hometown and wounded soldiers, or Zhao Suo and other men who have been killed on the battlefield, just beat away some blackmailed villains.

However, it is the river bandits and gangs that really cause trouble, they are ruthless and numerous, and the salt gang is also involved, which is the most troublesome. It must be known that in Yangzhou, trafficking in public salt and private salt must have a good relationship with the salt gang, if they are offended, the traffickers of public salt will not be able to get salt, and the traffickers of illegal salt will not be able to walk, and even the whole family will be killed. It is my Wu family, and I have to rely on the relationship of the Salt Gang in Yangzhou.

One day and night, more than 200 members of the Salt Gang came to Guazhou Island and surrounded our house, and the people of the Salt Gang knew that we had a background in the forbidden army, and they only bought this land to comfort the disabled soldiers, and they did not forcibly loot Guazhou at first. The people from the Salt Gang brought two thousand taels of silver and said that they would buy Guazhou, but we naturally disagreed. ”

Wang Yijin was so angry that he stomped his feet, gritted his teeth and said: "How can this be reasonable, how can this be true!" Is this a forced buying and forced selling? It's just lawless, and we dare to provoke the dead soldiers? ”

Hu Li said: "Sooner or later, one day I will kill all the corrupt officials in the world." ”

Zhang Xiaowu shook his head and said: "Don't brag, corrupt officials can't be killed, no generation can kill corrupt officials from ancient times to the present, do you know the reason?" Because the court uses officials to divide into capable officials and mediocre officials, those who are capable officials are corrupt millions and clean officials, and those who are mediocre officials are corrupt officials. Presumably, although the officials of Yangzhou, although greedy, are also capable officials, so that the court just turns a blind eye to them. ”

Wu Song smiled bitterly: "My lord can see it more thoroughly than me, if I build an embankment, I will not only lose my previous efforts, but also suffer a plot." ”
