Chapter 18 Trouble
Under the protection of Zhang Lei, Liren's army went out day and night and approached Jizhou City.
Now in Jizhou City, it's really a mess. Robbers (as long as they are rich, no matter day or night, they are robbed on the street), and those who kill people (all the killings are the colonels of the left-behind troops, who are not benevolent to the rich in peacetime but are very good with the prefect of Jia, etc.). The prefect of Jizhou is now scratching his ears and cheeks, arresting people everywhere, as long as there is a suspicious object, he is within the arrest.
Xia Zhen was also in the Jizhou Mansion, looking at the prefect Jia Yiren who was all over the place. Said loudly: "What are you doing, I am dizzy." Because I was a little excited, I was affected by the injuries on my shoulders and head, and I grinned in pain in an instant.
Jia Yiren only now remembered that there was another general sent from the capital, and immediately went to Xia Zhen and begged and asked: "My General Xia, do you see what the chaos in the city is like now, what should I do about these things?" ”
Xia Zhen said impatiently: "Aren't I thinking, don't bother me." ”
Jia Yiren's heart lit up, and he said to Xia Zhen self-righteously: "General Xia, from the point of view of humble duties, should this matter be reported to the imperial court?" ”
Xia Zhen was lying about how to fulfill his failure this time, and heard Jia Yiren say this. He was so angry that he scolded: "You are a pig, now it is your public security problem, and it is not the thief army attacking the city." Besides, you still have at least 30,000 troops in your state capital, report to the court now, you really don't want to be an official, you are simply a stupid pig. ”
After hearing this, Jia Yiren immediately knew his mistake, and immediately said to Xia Zhen with a smile on his cheeks: "General, please calm your anger, is it the lower official." Didn't the lower official faint in order to settle the state capital as soon as possible, so that the general could lead the army to kill the enemy again? Hey, the general is angry. ”
Only then did Xia Zhen calm down his anger, pause and say to Jia Zhifu: "In my opinion, it's better to be like this, we'd rather catch mistakes now than let go." Catch all suspicious people, etc., and wait for the matter to settle down, and then let their families redeem them. Hey! Wouldn't we still be able to make some money? Jia Zhifu, what do you think? ”
After listening to Xia Zhen's thoughts, Jia Yiren immediately slapped his thigh, and happily handed over to Xia Zhen: "Wonderful, the general's strategy is really wonderful, not only can stabilize the situation, but also find out the real culprit in this." We can also take this opportunity to make a big profit, both human and financial. Wonderful! It's wonderful! Ha ha. The general really deserves to come from the capital. Talking about it, compared to his own thumb, he was a sycophant to Xia Zhen.
After the two discussed and ordered their subordinates, the fire in Jizhou City was even more fueled. The streets were full of soldiers and hunters, searching from house to house with ropes and chains. It didn't take long for strings of men to come out of the houses.
At this time, Zhang Lei was in the backyard of Tongxin Pharmacy, the contact point in the city, and was enjoying afternoon tea. Suddenly, I heard a clang, and a door panel connecting the shop and the back was smashed open by a group of hunters, and before the guys from the Tongxin Pharmacy could speak. The catchers began to search everywhere, and the catchers checked in front of everyone to see if they were suspicious.
After a while, the catchers found two single knives from behind, and the catcher was surprised: "Okay, you actually hide the blade privately, are you ready to rebel?" Someone's coming. Don't take it with me yet. ”
"Yes" All the catchers immediately pulled out their sabers and surrounded Zhang Lei and his party of more than a dozen people.
Zhang Lei hurriedly looked like an honest man, walked up to the head catcher and said loudly to him: "Wronged! My lord, we have been wronged. ”
"Wronged what? The blades found in your home are real. The catcher squinted his eyes and said with a wicked smile, but no immediate order to arrest the person was issued.
Zhang Lei clearly took out a stack of money and a few silver ingots from his arms and stuffed them into the head catcher's hand. said humbly to the head catcher: "This lord, we have to buy goods outside all the year round, so we have a few self-defense things. Please be aware of it. ”
The head catcher carefully looked at the money in his hand, and then reversed the weight of the silver ingot, and after listening to what Zhang Lei said, he immediately changed his words: "Yes, what you said is true, you are serious businessmen, and you will not do that evil thing." The two knives just now are simply for your usual use of chopping wood, and they are not weapons. ”
After hearing this, Zhang Lei was extremely impressed by the blind headcatcher in his heart, but he immediately followed the headcatcher and said: "Yes!" Right! Right! Adults are really discerning, and this is what we use to chop wood on weekdays. It's not a weapon at all. ”
The head catcher had already gotten what he wanted, so he didn't listen to what Zhang Lei said at all, and directly ordered his subordinates cleanly: "Let's go, there are all honest businessmen here, and there are no bandits." "The so-called came and went quickly, and the officials who came in like a strong wind blew out like a gust of wind.
When the catchers were finished, Zhang Lei smiled slightly and said to himself: "Don't look at your fun today, be careful to pull the list in the future." This sentence is really fucking right, the lord is really literate. Ha ha! The team member next to him, who was dressed as a junior second, heard the second half of Zhang Lei's whispering, and asked incomprehensibly: "Captain, what do you say is stylish?" ”。
Zhang Lei smiled mysteriously and asked, "Do you really want to know?" ”
The team member who was dressed as Xiao Er saw Zhang Lei's treacherous appearance, and quickly shook his head: "Forget it, I still have to do what I should do, I don't want to know." After saying that, he disappeared faster than a rabbit.
Zhang Lei was suddenly stunned and touched his face: "What's on my face?" Why did he run away when he saw my face? As he spoke, he walked to the chair where he had just drunk tea.
The sweep of Jizhou City suddenly filled the prison of Jizhou City, and the prison shouted injustices one after another. It didn't stop all night, and the jailers couldn't sleep, and the people on duty got up to drink tea and fart.
The prison chief drank the coarse tea on the table, shook his head at a few of his subordinates, and said, "Tell me what kind of world this is, don't you just die a few rich and unkind." As for taking the whole city? ”
"Torturer, you'd better keep your voice down and don't let them hear it. If I flatten you again, you will be a pawn like us. One of his men was kind enough to persuade him.
The torturer said angrily: "Just let them listen, even if you kick me out, I will say it too." But thank you for reminding me, forget it, the more I talk about it, the more angry I become. Come for tea! ”
"That is, I still have to catch heads, and I know how to accept it when I see it. Drink tea, hehe! The other fat one hurriedly said.
At this moment, a lot of black-clothed people had gathered outside the state capital prison, and one of them whispered: "Everyone remember, end the battle as quickly as possible, and then make trouble for me in the whole city of Jizhou." ”
"No!" After all the men in black finished speaking in unison, they each led a few people to surround the state capital prison.
