Chapter 22: The Explosion
The next day, General Chen struggled out of the gentle township, and immediately came to the station outside the city to gather a few of his confidants to discuss.
Seeing that everyone had come, General Chen sat down in the Chinese army and said: "Everyone, I learned from Zhang Zhixian yesterday that we are going to face a group of outlaws, about 500 people, and they are acting ruthlessly and leaving no room for survival. Do you have any countermeasures? ”
One of the tall Confucian scholars said: "General, from a small point of view, this time we will avoid its edge, so don't resist it." ”
Several other henchmen also nodded their heads: "Yes, General." ”
General Chen thought for a while and said: "The thieves are powerful, and it is said to the outside world that General Ben is studying the method of warfare, waiting for the opportunity to wipe out the thieves in one fell swoop." ”
Everyone was relieved to see that the general had made a decision. Since then, more than 1,000 officers and soldiers have begun to mingle in Anxi County.
Rihito instructed the people to step up their training and strengthen their vigilance. But waiting left and right, but not seeing the official army attacking. So the spies were mobilized to go down the mountain to investigate, and when they came back, they found that the officers and soldiers were still stationed and had not moved, just eating, drinking, and having fun all day long.
Li Ren pondered in his heart, is it a suspicious plan? It's not like that, what the hell is it? If that doesn't work, look for the limelight.
Li Ren immediately gathered everyone, and the old owner and Li Yong sat in the battle, and he led fifty people down the mountain to rob the two rich families to find out the movements of these officials and soldiers.
When they came to the bottom of the mountain, Li Ren and the others chose two wealthy landlords, but as soon as they shot the letter in, someone immediately responded. They took out the items they said in the letter, and brought them to a few young girls.
Liren was very depressed in his heart, and it didn't work as well as it should. So he decided to go to Anxi to complain and see what was going on with these officers and soldiers from Anxi.
At noon, the officials of the Anxi County Ya were drowsy, and suddenly heard the big drum at the entrance of the Ya "Dong Dong". Zhang Zhixian reluctantly went to the court and asked, "Who is playing the drum?" Bring it to the church. ”
After a while, two officials came up to the hall with a white and pure son, and Zhang Zhixian immediately asked: "Who is standing under the hall?" ”
This son-in-law replied to Zhang Zhixian: "Student Wang Qing visited Lord Zhixian. ”
Zhang Zhixian asked: "Wang Qing, who is the person, what is the so-called thing about drumming?" ”
Wang Qingyan said: "The student is from Jizhou, and he is here to beat the drum for his uncle, Wang Hansan. ”
Zhang Zhixian wondered in his heart, how could a nephew of Wang Hansan appear? Haven't you heard Wang Hansan say it? So Zhang Zhixian asked: "Which Wang Zhuang owner is very good friends with in this county, I have never heard him say that he has relatives in Jizhou, who are you, dare to pretend to be a relative of the Wang family, don't recruit it quickly!" ”
Wang Qing said unhurriedly: "The student's father and Wang Zhuang are cousins of the family, just because my uncle was taken away from Jizhou when he was young, so my uncle has never said anything to the county magistrate, if the county magistrate does not believe it, the student has items here as evidence." ”
Zhang Zhixian said: "Oh! That's not going to be done quickly. ”
Wang Qing personally took a red cloth wrapped in physical evidence and put it in front of Zhang Zhixian, Zhang Zhixian made a look at the master to open the package, only to see a maroon, bordered, one-foot square box, the master carefully opened the box, and was dumbfounded when he saw it, and immediately gave it to Zhang Zhixian, Zhang Zhixian looked at the half gold bar and half pearl jadeite.
Looking at Zhang Zhixian with a smile on his face, he looked at Wang Qing under the hall and said: "Hehe, it is true that you are the nephew of the owner of Wang Zhuang, and this evidence will be checked by the master first." You say, okay? ”
Wang Qingyan said: "The county master is willing to appreciate his face, and the student can't ask for it, but the matter of the student's uncle still needs the county master to bother." ”
Zhang Zhixian smiled and said happily: "The virtuous nephew has seen the outside, I am friends with your uncle Wang Zhuang, and the county is also extremely angry about the murder of your uncle, and I hate to catch those thieves immediately and bring them to justice." So the virtuous nephew can rest assured. ”
Wang Qing saw that the county magistrate had changed his words, and immediately climbed the pole and said respectfully: "Since my uncle is willing to bother, what is there to worry about my nephew, so I will redeem my nephew and retire first." After saying that, he saluted and left.
Wang Qing and Zhang Zhixian came to the outside of the mansion with some courtesy, and the two people who were waiting for Wang Qing on the side hurriedly rushed to Wang Qing's side and whispered: "Boss, are things going well?" ”
Wang Qing smiled mysteriously: "This is not a place for words, go back and talk about it." After a few people came to the field outside the county seat, Wang Qing laughed: "We may have to change things this time, haha." Looking at the dozens of people around him, it turned out that Wang Qing was Liren pretending.
After Liren returned to the mountain, he found the old village owner Li Yong and others and said with a smile: "I think our plan is going to change, the county order under the mountain is very greedy, I can't even check it with Wang Qing's identity, it seems that I can use this Wang Qing's identity to do something." The crowd nodded thoughtfully.
Li Ren looked up at Li Yong and ordered: "Li Yong, you can take a hundred people to Zhangzhou to make trouble often, and the movement will be bigger than this." Strive to attract the attention of the government, and then go around in a big circle and return to the cottage. ”
Li Ren looked at the owner of the old village again and said: "The old village is in charge of everything in the village, don't act rashly first, the food is enough for a few years, Zhang Lei will help you recruit soldiers, but remember to be loyal and reliable." I will first go down the mountain and use Wang Qing's identity to engage in some industries, firstly, to drive our development, and secondly, we will have a good eye and ears. ”
After his subordinates made their promises, Rihito led thirty people down the mountain with the recast silver and jewelry.
Since the 150,000 taels of silver sent back by Lixin, the development of the island has been accelerated, and the island has recruited more than 2,000 people in two months, and Lixin has also opened a shipyard on the island through his father, which is just enough to cover what the brothers are doing.
Rationale was busy building a shipyard that day, and someone reported that there was an explosion in the workers' dormitory, which seemed to be man-made.
Rational wondered how there could be an explosion on the island. So I hurried to the scene of the accident to take a look, but fortunately, the explosion was not big, only the interior of the house was blackened, and the others were intact.
Rational hurriedly asked, "Who knows whose residence this is?" ”
A blackened teenager who came out of the side room replied: "The owner of the island, this is the villain's residence, the villain has nothing to do except training these days, so today I want to try to produce fireworks handed down by the villain to the island owner, but I didn't expect an explosion, please punish the island owner." ”
Li Xin smiled when he heard "hehe": "I think you are a good heart, so I won't punish you." But I want you to continue your production, and not only that, but also give you a special house and staff for you to experiment, and only one thing to test according to the recipe I gave you. Feasible? ”
The young man with a dark face smirked: "The villain Zhang Xing thanked the island owner." ”
The people next to him were full of puzzlement, and said to everyone: "Skills are the power of our development, I declare that no matter who has any skills in the future, they will be revealed to me, and once I find it useful, I will equip you with everything you need, and I will also give you a monetary reward." Did you hear that? ”
Everyone next to him was full of joy, and they each played the little ninety-nine in their hearts.
