Early in the morning of the second day, Gao Lian, the governor of Gaotang Prefecture, who had just received the news the night before, personally went out of the city to greet Zeng Lang and his party.

There were two major events in Zengtou City some time ago, and Gaotang Prefecture was close at hand, how could he not know about it?

It's just that Zeng Tou City has been reporting the case in the future, and he is naturally reluctant to touch this muddy water, Jin Ren's brain is a tendon, why bother to cause a fishy body?

And Gao Lian still hopes to see the Zeng family be unlucky from the bottom of his heart, because he has been coveting Zeng Tou City for a long time.

Zengtou City is such a big grass market, it is already in the territory of Gaotang Prefecture, and it should logically belong to his Lian jurisdiction, it can be said that if Zengtou City is controlled in his Gao Lian's hands, it will definitely be a daily income!

But the result was that Zeng was the first to take the lead when he didn't take office a few years ago, and he was still a golden man, and he couldn't be easily offended, Gao Lian could only scold the previous governors of Gaotang Prefecture in his heart for being a waste! The harm can only take some money from Zeng Rong's "filial piety", although the amount of money is also amazing, but compared with the income obtained by directly occupying Zengtou City, it is definitely only a drop in the bucket!

Gao Lian is angry and helpless about this, and naturally hopes that Zengtou City will be chaotic, and the best thing is that the Zeng family will die of a catastrophe, only in this way can he rightfully receive Zengtou City!

But when he received a message yesterday that Zeng Lane "sent someone" to deliver the news that he would personally bring someone to Gaotang Prefecture to redeem Zeng Mi, he was shocked again.

Because he really couldn't figure out how this matter was related to Gao Tangzhou again,

Shouldn't ransom payments and hostage redemption be done in the sparsely populated wilderness? How can there be such a thief and bandit who dare to choose a place under the nose of the government, isn't this self-defeating?

Although Gao Lian felt strange, since this matter had been known to him, he must not pretend to be confused anymore.

So he immediately arranged for his manpower, ready to go out to arrest the bandits!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

When Gao Lian went out of the city with a dozen followers to see the people and horses of Zengtou City, surprise immediately filled his fat face,

Because, Zengtou City actually came...... Thousands! And all the armor is on the body, murderous, and it looks like a big war is imminent,

That Zeng Rong led a group of generals under his command in front of him, looking at this side from a distance, although he couldn't see the expression on Zeng Rong's face clearly, but the air was clearly filled with an inexplicable nervous atmosphere!

Gao Lian had also served in the army earlier, and he immediately sniffed out that the situation in Zengtou City was a little strange, and after a short period of shock, he quickly turned his head sideways and said a few words to his cronies, who immediately turned around and rode back to the city, and rushed to arrange Gao Lian's instructions, just in case.

Gao Lian turned his head and looked at Zeng Lane from a distance on horseback, seeing that Zeng Lane still stopped in the distance and did not make the slightest move, a trace of unhappiness flashed in his eyes!

He is Gao Lian as a Zhizhou, Zengtou City is just a grass city in Gaotang Prefecture, that is, the current mayor of Zengtou City, and it must be legally appointed by him, although it is at most a symbolic scene, but it also symbolizes that Gao Lian is the nominal supreme leader of Zengtou City,

But this Zeng Rong first came to Gaotang Prefecture quietly with thousands of people, and he didn't come to salute first, that is, Gao Lian didn't want to offend Zeng Lang anymore, and this face was a little unbearable!

But at this time, I don't know what Zeng Lang thinks, he actually "confronted" Gao Lian, and he didn't mean to come over to salute at all.

"A golden man is a golden man, even if I have been immersed in etiquette in the Central Plains for more than ten years, I am still a barbarian, and I have no etiquette at all!" Gao Lian said unhappily in his heart,

Thinking that he is incorruptible in the court, he has the support of his brother Taiwei Gao Yu, even if he is an official with a higher grade than him, he must be polite when he sees him, when did he suffer from this kind of anger, unconsciously, Gao Lian's temper also came up, and said secretly, "You have really embarrassed yourself, I have come out of the city to welcome you with such an attitude, what is so great about the Jin people, you are now bringing so many soldiers and horses to the city, do you want to rebel?!" Based on this alone, even if Lao Tzu exterminates you, he is not afraid of the court to blame ......! ”

Gao Lian thought about it, and said a few words to a cronie beside him,

The cronie immediately rode towards the city of Zengtou,

When his cronies came to Zengtou City, he immediately felt that there was a murderous aura faintly emanating from Zengtou City, which made his heart tremble, and he calmed down a little and said to Zeng Rong, "Mayor Zeng, why did we ask why you brought so many people here?" Why don't you go and bow down? ”

Why are you doing this? Because as soon as he saw Gao Lian coming out of the city, he was about to explode!

In fact, Zeng didn't want to make things so big,

But Zeng Lang came to Gaotang Prefecture to redeem Zeng Mi this time, and he never informed Gaotang Prefecture in advance, except because the robbers had clearly stated in the letter that they were not allowed to tell the government, and bringing so many people was also to prevent whether this redemption of Zeng Mi would be a trap for the government to trap him!

Unexpectedly, as soon as his team came to the city of Gaotang Prefecture, Gao Lian of Zhizhou greeted him, which fully proved that his actions had been known to Gao Lian, and it also proved that there were spies in Gaotang Prefecture in Zengtou City!

Based on this, Zeng Lane will not go over to salute, in case it is taken down by Gao Lian after passing, won't his Zengtou City be self-defeating? !

Zeng Lang snorted coldly and said, "The old man occasionally felt a wind a few days ago, and it was inconvenient to get off his horse and salute, as for the thousands of military horses brought by the old man...... The old man was kidnapped by bandits, and the old man wanted to take someone to save him! ”
