Watching a load of red goods and 'fine' grain loaded onto the big ship, even Lin Guoxian couldn't help but 'show' a smile, this smile was not ecstasy, but gratifying, getting this batch of money and food was not enough to make him the king and hegemon, but it could allow him to stabilize his foothold, and his brother and son, who had been with him for many years, saw that he also had a way to live. Shen 'Men' on the left saw his heart and said: "After this batch of money and food is in hand, we will be considered to have passed this pass!" Xu Chaoguang on the right smiled when he saw it: "Uncle Lin, Shangzhai is about to make a comeback, congratulations!" ”

Lin Guoxian smiled slightly when he heard Xu Chaoguang's voice, and said: "In this world, there will be no going up and down, and Nanao will be your nephew in the future!" After we got this batch of property, we sorted it out and went to Penghu to settle down! ”

Xu Chaoguang did not 'show' the slightest bit of 'color', and said: "Penghu is located in a key chong, blessed with unique nature, Uncle Lin must be surging when he arrives there, and the wealth is extensive, and I also hope that in the future, Penghu Nanao can echo the east and west, and the same breath will be connected!" ”

Shen 'Men' felt slightly unhappy in his heart: "Although this is a condition that was negotiated early in the morning, why do you have to be so sure!" ”

Lin Guoxian smiled and said: "This nature, this nature!" ”

I heard the subordinates in front of me report: "The prince has arrived!" Also with him are Xiao Wan, the second master of Tai Po, and Zhang Lian, who is surrounded by Wushi! ”

Tai Po Zheng Ba and Xiao Wan are the most famous white whistles (that is, Lu Kou) in the northern mountains of the 'Chao' state capital, and Nanao are one north and one south, one mountain and one sea, and the leader is a fellow villager, the two sides are more or less implicated in this land, although Lin Guoxian and Zheng Ba and Xiao Wan have never met, but they are both famous for a long time! At this time, he heard that Xiao Wan also came, and he already knew that there was a group of people of unknown origin on the way south from Dongmenqing and his party, and he said in his heart: "It turns out that that group of people is Zheng Ba's subordinates!" Ah Qing is good, Zhang Lian really still has a secret! Hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Fire!" Welcome to you! ”

Boom and eight cannons rang out in unison, Shen 'Gate' drove a small boat to meet him, Lin Guoxian waited on the big boat, East 'Gate' Qing jumped up first, and introduced the two sides to Bi, Lin Guoxian patted him on the shoulder, and grabbed the front two hands to hold Zhang Lian and Xiao Wan with the other, and shouted repeatedly: "Xiaowei has heard the two big names for a long time, but I didn't expect to meet today!" ”

Zhang Lianxiao saw him treat him so kindly, his face was a little warmer, and Lin Guoxian said: "Quickly pick up the brothers on land, and then start the boat!" ”

Xiao Wan hurriedly said: "Xiao Wan came to see off Brother Zhang Lian this time, and I have to go back to Tai Po later!" ”

Lin Guoxian said with a smile: "What kind of identity Xiao Er is in charge, how can Xiaowei not know!" Can I still dig Xiao Er's family from Zheng Baye? But you're just from the county seat, I'm afraid that there will be pursuers behind! It's better to get on the boat first, and I'll find another safe place for Xiao Er to go ashore! But before that, I still have to leave Xiao Er in charge to get drunk on my broken ship! ”

Xiao Wan laughed and agreed.

After the leaders exchanged their names, they entered the main cabin, and the affairs of picking up people and driving the ship were handled by their own hands. Among the people, Lin Guoxian is the first of the lords, Xu Chaoguang is the second, Cao Gu'an is the third, the east 'gate' is the fourth, Lin Guoxian is the east 'door' Qing and invites Xiao Wan Zhang Lian to sit on the seat, Zhang Lian resigned, and said: "Zhang Lian is desperate, this time he is here to go to the lord of Lin Zhai, and he should only 'serve' to stand beside him, how to sit down?" Xiao Wan pushed Xiao Wan, Xiao Wan also knew that she was a pure guest here, and after pushing twice, she didn't quit anymore, and everyone was about to sit down, when suddenly a person walked in from outside the cabin: "Ah Lian, you are finally here!" ”

This person is Zhang Lang, as soon as he saw him, Zhang Lian's whole face changed, and he blurted out: "Brother! How are you here! ”

Zhang Lang said: "You asked me to come!" ”

Zhang Lian glanced at the East 'Gate' Qing, seemed to think of something, and asked, "Me?" ”

"That's right......" Zhang Lian said: "Soon after you set off, you sent someone to spread a message, saying that I wanted me to join forces with Shen 'Gate' and Shen General Manager Shen, and took Shixia Cang......"

When Zhang Lian heard this, he exclaimed: "Shixia Cang? I sent someone to send you a message, but ......" suddenly turned his head and stared at the east 'gate' Qingdao: "Brother Wang, are you doing a ghost here?" "The tone is very harsh!

It turned out that Zhang Lian had asked Zhang Lang to prepare before leaving Wushiwei, but he didn't explain what was going on, for fear that this brother would not be strict in his mouth and 'exposed' the mechanism. After the matter of the county seat was settled and it was determined that Dong'men' Qing and Wu Ping had left Wushiwei, he sent Zhang Bao to Wushiwei to give an order, asking Zhang Lang and Zhang Houming to steal Shixiacang's belongings overnight and transfer them to a secret location, where they waited for news from him. He did this because he wanted to share the risk, and secondly, he couldn't fully trust the sincerity of the South Australian public, and he wanted to leave a way back for himself, so as not to lose his use value and be completely controlled by others, but he didn't expect to be preempted!

Seeing that his displeasure appeared in Meiyu, the east 'gate' Qing hurriedly said: "Brother Zhang, don't 'provoke', I'm also worried that Brother Lang and them will be in danger if they stay in Wushiwei, so let Manager Shen go to answer it." Fortunately, Mazu blessed, Brother Zhang's clansmen have all been safely on the ship, so Brother Zhang doesn't have to worry. ”

He said this nicely, but where would Zhang Lian not understand which sentence was true and which sentence was false? He said suddenly: "I remember telling you that I don't want to move the stone!" ”

Dongmen' Qingzheng was thinking about how to transfer him so that he could step down, and Cao Gu'an had already smiled and said, "You don't want to move the stone to get out of the warehouse?" What did you send Zhang Bao back to the village for? "It turned out that when Zhang Bao went back to pass the order, he was detained by Shen 'Men' when he walked to the Qiaotou Ruins, although Cao Gu'an was on the boat, but Lin Guoxian needed the cooperation of the Xiazhai fleet, and Shen 'Men''s actions were naturally not easy to hide from him, so he knew the ins and outs of the matter.

Zhang Lian was even more angry when he heard this, and said to the East Gate: "You actually intercepted my people!" ”

Seeing Cao Gu'an talking like this, Dong'men Qing was already frowning, his head lowered, and he deliberately aggrieved so that the two sides would not break their faces, but Xu Chaoguang couldn't get used to it, and sneered: "Since everyone said that they want to join forces, they should put their hearts in their hearts!" But you secretly kept a hand, and you wanted to put Shixiacang into your 'private' pocket. If you can secretly spread the message, why can't we intercept people halfway? Dongmen' Qing's brows furrowed even tighter, and he was about to say a few kind words, Xu Chaoguang had already waved his hand and said, "Brother Qing! These things will have to be spread out sooner or later, if Zhang Zhudian is interested in joining the gang, then both parties should be open and honest to make it clear! If you hide a set in your stomach and I hide a trick behind my back, how will you sit in the same boat and ride the wind and waves together in the future? ”

Zhang Lian couldn't help but be angry when he heard the news that Shixiacang had been taken at first, and calmed down a little after saying a few impulsive words, if the East 'Gate' Qing was tactful, he still had room to step down, but he didn't expect Cao Gu'an Xu Chaoguang's uncle and nephew to be ruthless, he glanced at everyone in the cabin, and his heart suddenly cooled: "It's not good!" Wang Si can't actually be the master! Looking at Lin Guoxian and Xu Chaoguang again, he also heard about the relationship between the two villages in Nanao, and said in his heart: "Even if Wang Si does Lin Guoxian's master, Lin Guoxian may not be Xu Chaoguang's master!" Hey, he sneered, but the sneer was his sneer at himself: "Confused! Confused! I, Zhang Lian, am really confused! I actually met the wrong person! Anyway, now that I'm on the boat, I can't go back to Wushiwei, what should I do, naturally it is the owner of Lin Zhai and Xu Shaozhai who have the final say! ”

Seeing that he said such heavy words, Lin Guoxian hurriedly stood up and said: "Zhang Zhudian, how can you say this, so that Xiaowei Lao can bear it!" ”

Xiao Wan couldn't see it, and sneered: "What can't you stand it? The birds are all hidden, the rabbits are dead and the dogs are cooked! Now that the money and grain from the county treasury and Shixia warehouse have arrived on your ship, Brother Zhang has naturally become a useless person! No wonder people say that the mountains have to be treated, and the water has no faith! You people who are churning in the water, you really can't believe it! ”

Cao Gu'an said angrily when he heard this: "What nonsense are you talking about! ”

Xiao Wan sneered: "Am I wrong!" Pulling Zhang Lian and said, "Brother Zhang, they can't stay here!" If you don't dislike it, come with me to Tai Po! Although the mountains are poor, we don't have to pay taxes to the imperial court, we farm and eat by ourselves, as long as you are willing to go, you are the second master! I'll give you a hand! ”

Zhang Lian snorted and sighed: "Brother Xiao, don't talk so impulsively, our 'lives' are in the hands of others now!" Xu Chaoguang looked at Lin Guoxian and said, "Zhang Lian's 'sexual' life, don't dare to ask for it!" But if these brothers brought by Brother Xiao are dragged to death by me, I, Zhang Lian, will not be able to be stable even if I go to Jiuquan! I also hope that the owner of Lin Zhai and Xu Shaozhai will give them a way to live for the sake of Zhang Lian who has done a little favor this time! As he spoke, he was about to kneel, Lin Guoxian hurriedly stepped forward to support him, but Zhang Lian still knelt down stiffly, and his knees touched the deck.

Everyone in the boat had different ideas, Cao Gu'an watched coldly, Xu Chaoguang was silent, Wu Ping was unhappy in his eyes, and Shen said in his heart: "Zhang Lian is a character!" To be honest, it is indeed a bit troublesome for us to place him in the village! But if we really cross the river and tear down the bridge like this, the reputation of Nanao Shangzhai will stink in the future! Zhang Lang watched stunned and muttered, "How did things become like this, how did things become like this?" ”

However, Zhang Lang's regret was mixed with a little fear - he was really worried that I would kill myself with these pirates! In contrast, Dongmenqing's mood was more complicated and uncomfortable, he saw Zhang Lian like this, sighed and knelt down at him, held his arm and said: "Brother Zhang, the unhappiness between the words just now was just a misunderstanding, you ......"

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Lian had already pushed him away and said, "Brother Wang, from the moment Shixiacang was taken, it was no longer a misunderstanding!" ”

Xu Chaoguang stepped forward and pulled the east 'door' Qingdao: "Brother Qing, they were the ones who had two intentions first, and now they are here to speak ill of each other, why do you use your hot face to make up for the coldness of others!" ”

As soon as Dongmen' Qing heard this, he knew that he had no intention of keeping Zhang Lian, and shouted at Lin Guoxian: "Uncle Lin! ”

There are many contents hidden in this call, Lin Guoxian naturally will not understand, he hesitated for a long time, finally sighed, poured a glass of wine and said to Zhang Lian: "Zhang Zhudian, we invited you to join at the beginning, it was indeed out of sincerity!" As for the reservations of both sides, that is also human nature! Zhang Zhudian didn't want us to move the stone to go to the warehouse, I didn't want to mention it, but now that I have said it, then I will make it clear: if Zhang Zhudian is willing to forget the unhappiness of Fang Cai, then he drank this glass of wine, everyone released their suspicions, and I set aside the position of the deputy owner of the village for Zhang Zhudian to sit; But if Zhang Zhudian can't let go of the fact that we took Shixiacang, it is our fate in Shangzhai, Zhang Zhudian also invited to drink this glass of wine, let's follow the rules of the road, the county treasury, Shixiacang property divided, let's go to the future! ”

Zhang Lian sank slightly, took the wine in Lin Guoxian's hand, and said: "I don't dare to divide the property, I just want to leave a 'life'!" ”

Lin Guoxian said: "What are these words! As long as Zhang Zhudian deserves it, Xiaowei is not greedy! He glanced at Xu Chaoguang and said, "This time, the master of Xu Shaozhai has made a big effort, and he should have a share." Brother Wang is the one who mediates the middle, and without him, things can't be done, and he should also get a share. Although Xiao Er is in charge of righteousness and bravery, we can't let Tai Po's brothers return empty-handed, plus Zhang Zhudian and the district, a total of five parties. What I mean is this, here in Shixiacang, Zhang Zhudian takes 30%, Xu Shaozhai and I each take 30%, and Brother Wang takes 10%. On the county treasury side, we take 20% from each of the five parties - what do you think? ”

Seeing Lin Guoxian say this, Dongmen Qing knew that it was hopeless to keep Zhang Lian, and a rush of anger came up in his heart, and he wanted to say that he didn't want his share, but suddenly his heels tightened, but he was kicked by Wu Ping, and he realized that he couldn't help but not speak.

Xu Chaoguang said: "Since Uncle Lin has already spoken, how dare the little nephew disobey?" ”

Xiao Wan said: "We are only here this time for Brother Zhang's words, it is too much for the lord of Lin Zhai to let us go back, there is no money, I dare not think about it!" ”

Zhang Lian also said: "As long as the owner of the forest village is willing to let me wait to get off the boat, we will already feel 'excited'!" ”

Lin Guoxian said: "Since this is the case, then it is decided!" As he spoke, he asked people to calculate the goods, divide them clearly, find a remote place to anchor, send Zhang Lianxiao to shore at night in a small boat, and send the goods to the shore at night.

Dongmenqing watched them get off the big boat, approached Lin Guoxian and said: "Uncle Lin, although I thought that the two sides might break up unhappily in the end when I was in Wushiwei, but now that it is really like this, I am still not happy in my heart!" This matter could have been so stiff. ”

Lin Guoxian said: "I'm not happy, but since there is a gap in everyone's hearts, I am afraid that Zhang Lian will not be able to stay for a long time, so it is better to divide the money and disperse." ”

Dongmenqing couldn't refute Lin Guoxian's words, jumped off a small boat again, caught up with Zhang Lian, and said, "Brother Zhang, I'm really sorry for today's incident!" But I didn't mean to deceive when I made my promise in Wushek Wai! Believe it or not, I'm still going to say it! ”

Zhang Lian was already on the shore at this time, glanced at him, shook his head expressionlessly, and said, "That's it, what's the use of talking about this now?" After walking away a few steps, he suddenly turned back and said, "Actually, you have already got all the things, you don't need to come and tell me this!" ”

Dongmen' Qingdao: "It's not necessary, but I still have to say!" ”

Zhang Lian opened his mouth, closed it again, and said again and again, and finally said: "There are a few words that I don't have to say, but since you have opened your mouth, I am not afraid of instigation!" I put the east *** of Shishitakura, and I don't completely want to swallow it alone! I wanted to see if Koo was someone who deserved all my might! ”

Dong'men' Qing said: "Brother Zhang wants to make sure that Uncle Lin is the master in his mind before sacrificing the stone under the warehouse?" ”

Zhang Lian snorted and said, "Maybe." But if he doesn't, then this money is the entanglement after I left him, or the capital I used to buy people's hearts when I rebelled against him! ”

Dongmenqing didn't expect him to say so directly, and he was stunned for a while.

Zhang Lian said again: "No matter what, although I miscalculated this time, you didn't win big." Hum! If you were a man who had done the Lord, the whole thing might have been very different! ”

After he said this, he took his leave, leaving Dongmen' Qing in a daze on the boat, and said in his heart: "He is right! Although I am Chaoguang's brother-in-law, Uncle Lin still trusts me, but they are them after all, and I am me after all! Relying only on a little strategy and some relationships to thread the needle, you can't do great things after all! He breathed a long sigh of relief at the night sky that had already darkened, and waved his hand to let the water snake Cai turn the boat back to the big boat.

Pressed the east 'gate' to go back and see Lin Guoxian Xu Chaoguang did not show it, but said that after the group of thieves left, the displaced people were dispersed by the officers and soldiers due to lack of guidance. Looking at the devastation of the county, Lin Zhixian couldn't help but cry bitterly! After returning to the county government and thinking about it, he actually took a rope and hung it on the beam of the public court, but fortunately he was found and rescued in time, and his wife cried next to him like rain, crying: "Although your cousin died tragically this time, you don't have to do this!" ”

"You know what!" Lin Zhixian looked at the surroundings and cried: "If I don't end myself this time, if I wait for the court to deal with it, it will be light to even kill my head at that time!" It's better to die like this, you said last that I committed suicide when the people and bandits rushed in, so maybe I can still keep the name of a martyr! ”

His wife said: "Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood." Although there is a little problem under your rule, you are not guilty of death, right? ”

"It's called a small problem?" Lin Zhixian said: "The officials who are close to the people govern the territory, and other things can be turned around, but if there is a civil uprising, it will be a big mistake that cannot be shirked!" There are many sages in the 'Chao' state capital, and the gentry in the capital are in harmony, and most of this matter cannot be hidden, if it reaches the ears of the Son of Heaven, I, I ......" said and looked for a short time, so frightened that his wife hurriedly snatched the rope.

The couple were crying together, and the warden Xu came in to inquire in the 'chaos' and 'chaos', and the county magistrate's wife knew that Xu was resourceful and her husband's confidant, so she dismissed the subordinates, leaving Xu alone, informing Lin Zhixian of his worries and worries, and asking him to help come up with an idea.

Xu rolled his eyes and said, "This matter still has to be turned around." ”

Lin Zhixian said: "How to turn?" How to turn? Half of Raoping County has been burned! Even if we can buy the Notification Mansion and the Imperial History, we can't make all the local gentry not speak! ”

Xu said: "Let them not speak, it will naturally be difficult to do, but if the adults rush to explain the matter to the court before them, and tactfully turn one or two in the concert, maybe there is a glimmer of life!" ”

Lin Zhixian hurriedly asked: "The people have become too big, how can you be tactful?" ”

Xu said: "If the parents and officials are greedy and mediocre and 'provoke' the people to revolt, then they will be killed." But what if the foreign enemy suddenly arrives and is caught off guard? ”

"Foreign enemies?" Lin Zhixian said: "Where is the foreign enemy?" ”

Xu said: "The local 'traitor' people *** Japanese slaves landed on the shore to loot, what is this not a foreign enemy?" ”

Lin Zhixian suddenly realized, busy preparing a table, galloping to the court, Tao this year, a certain month, a certain day, there are 'traitor' people *** Japanese slaves into Kou Raoping, wanton burning, fortunately the gentry auxiliary wings, soldiers with their lives, only to drive the Japanese slaves to the sea, now Raoping has restored stability.

Emperor Jiajing was furious after getting the performance, and the southeast sea was banned, so it was reinstated.
