Chapter 182: Conflict
Shi Qian has eyesight, this guy pounced and knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said reverently: "The villain has eyes and no beads to offend Lord Liu, and I also hope to see the face of Brother Yan Qing, Rao the villain will not die, in the future, Shi Qian is willing to make cattle and horses for adults, lead horses and stirrups, and never swerving." β
"Your own officer?" Liu Zhenglong doesn't know if it's okay, he doesn't like chickens and dogs in his bones, but some things are really inseparable from thieves like Shi Qian, so he wants to give the other party a chance.
"Sitting on the upper seat is like a dragon and a tiger, his eyes are like torches, there is a kind of domineering spirit that looks down on the rivers and mountains, swallows the mountains and rivers, who else can there be in the world except Lord Liu, besides, my brother Yanqing is arrogant, how can ordinary people convince him to be willing to be an entourage?"
Shi Qian's sycophant is first-class, although he is good at stealing, he is not willing to be a thief for the rest of his life, and he also wants to make meritorious contributions, seal his wife and son, and glorify his ancestors, but unfortunately he has never had a chance, and he has no good performance opportunity in Liangshan. This guy prides himself on being a maxima, how can he miss the only opportunity in his life in front of Bole.
"The opportunity can be given to you, as for whether you can seize it, it depends on your own ability. Okay, you recently found a way to take a turn around the palace of Zhao Yunqi, the capital of Yuwangtai, to see if you can find something that the official is interested in, and if you do it well, you will have a head to do, if you don't do it well, or if you are arrested, it has nothing to do with the official. β
I don't know why, Liu Zhenglong suddenly thought of that mysterious person, he felt that Zhao Yunqi might have some value, and it shouldn't hurt to let Shi Qian investigate.
Although the Great Song Dynasty said that the army was weak, but Tokyo Bianliang is the largest city in the world, it can be said that it is impregnable, it stands to reason that the Jin army is mainly cavalry, and there is no possibility of conquering the city, but in the end, how did the Jin army conquer the outer city and force Song Qinzong to go to the Jin camp to beg for surrender? There must be something wrong with this, the past has been buried in the long river of history, and it is impossible to trace the cause. But Liu Zhenglong, who crossed over, always felt that there was a problem here, and according to the information of the multi-party hearing, the finger was finally pointed at the mysterious person who negotiated terms with him, but such a big thing is definitely not something that can be achieved by one person, so all the generals around Bianliang with troops have become the object of suspicion.
Shi Qian is good at stealing, but this guy is extremely smart and will not be stupid enough to go to Zhao Yunqi's house to steal gold and silver treasures immediately. You must know that Lord Liu is the richest man in the Great Song Dynasty, how can he be interested in other people's treasures. It seems that he wants to steal something special, so he didn't leave immediately, but stayed to eat.
Let's rub the rice, there are more people, and the drinking is more lively.
Just when everyone was drinking, there was a quarrel and crying in the next room, which was annoying to hear, Liu Zhenglong waved his hand and said, "Wu Er, go over and let the other side be quiet, try not to be rough." β
"Got it."
Wu Er made a look, and Jiao Ting followed. As soon as he went out, Wu Er said to Jiao Ting: "Obviously, the next door is doing things that bully men and women, and the adults don't let me be rude, but I didn't say you, you will know how to do it in a while." β
"You know, it's right to find me for this kind of thing, Lao Tzu can't see that kind of dog thing that bullies men and women, I'll see how I clean up those bastards in a while."
Jiao Ting is generally the kind of person who likes to fight and make trouble, this guy is jealous and hateful, and hates the kind of bully who bullies men and women the most.
Xie Fei, a young man who walks sideways in Kaifeng County, is not interested in the kind of woman who sings on weekdays, but it is so beautiful to see this today, the key is that this guy has been bullied too much by the tigress at home recently, so there is such a play today.
"Ling Yan, you slut, don't be embarrassed, I followed our young master today, and in the future, I will let you eat and drink spicy food, if you are embarrassed, I will send you to the barracks today, that kind of day when you can't survive and die, it will make you feel that it will be painful to live and you die."
"No, no, you can't do that, she's still a child." Jin Laohan regretted it a little, he shouldn't have brought his little granddaughter out today, if he had brought his eldest granddaughter Ling Zi out, this kind of thing would not have happened, he tightly protected his fifteen-year-old granddaughter behind him, and said fearlessly: "The new county magistrate is coming, you bully men and women like this, aren't you afraid that the eldest lord will punish you?" β
"The new lord, if you can take back the official mansion, you can call it the ability, come to Kaifeng County, within three months, you will definitely get out obediently." Xie Fei, who spoke, shouted in the voice of the male duck: "In Kaifeng County, the dragon has to be coiled, and the tiger has to be held, this is the territory of our five major families, and it is not easy to make it when the eldest master comes." Okay, this eldest young master is not a bully of men and women, today I will give you fifty guan for the old man, which is considered to buy her back to be a concubine, by the way, I heard that your eldest granddaughter has practiced martial arts and is a female tiger, so let's do it, Lao Tzu will give a hundred guan and buy both back. β
"Buy your sister." Jiao Ting, who was outside, couldn't listen anymore, and after kicking the door open, this guy said angrily: "Lao Tzu is out of a hundred times, is it good to buy your sister as a concubine." β
Xie Fei didn't expect a big black man to break in, and he was angry when he was disturbed: "Black charcoal, you are impatient, you dare to provoke this young master, come on, break the legs of this bastard." β
There are more than a dozen members of the Xie family, plus more than 30 people who are scoundrels, and this group of dogs can't help but beat them over, looking at the menacing appearance, it is difficult to stop without breaking Jiao Ting's legs.
"Break two legs, or three legs, you can do it, I'll take the old man and this girl away." I don't know when Wu Er changed sex, this guy doesn't like to fight anymore, he pulled the old man and said, "Take your granddaughter with me, make sure you're okay." β
Jin Laohan took his granddaughter and began to walk out.
Liu Zhenglong didn't expect Wu Er to bring the old man and the girl, but he suddenly realized that Wu Er had not yet started a family, and suddenly had the meaning of protecting the media, but the girl was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and it seemed that it would be a year or two later.
"Old man, little girl, don't be afraid, here, no one dares to bully you."
"Big official, go quickly, no one in Kaifeng County can provoke the Xie family, wait for the official to come in a while, I'm afraid, you can't leave if you want to."
"The Xie family? Is the Xie family very powerful, why do the officials of the government listen to him? Liu Zhenglong really didn't know much about the situation in Kaifeng County, after all, his father-in-law only talked about very little content, and didn't talk too deeply.
The old man secretly complained in his heart, this young man didn't know the existence of the Xie family at all, how could he wade through this troubled water and come to save his granddaughter? The old man said helplessly: "Big official, you don't know anything, in Kaifeng County, you have provoked the five major families, and even the position of the county master is not stable. That Xie family is one of the five major families, monopolizing the medicinal material business in Kaifeng County, and offending the Xie family, that is, waiting for death, besides, that Xie Fei's wife was born in the Wang family, which is even more terrible. You'd better go, don't get into trouble. β
"I'm leaving, what should you two grandchildren do? Do you also run away? β
"What can we do, although the world is big, there is no place for us to stand. We can only wait for the new Lord Liu to take office, I heard that the Qingtian Lord is the reincarnation of Bao Qingtian, who is not afraid of power, maybe he can help us get justice. β
Liu Zhenglong didn't expect that he hadn't arrived in Kaifeng County yet, and he would become the lord of Qingtian in the hearts of the people, and he said with a smile: "You said that the county magistrate is also afraid of the five major families, so how can the new magistrate be justice for you?" β
"Listen to the accent, you are a foreigner, and it seems that you don't know how powerful our new Qingtian master is." Jin Laohan told Liu Zhenglong's great achievements like a few treasures, of course, there are too many ingredients to add oil and vinegar to this, and he simply deified this guy, but it is no wonder that it is all hearsay, which adds a lot of people's good wishes for the Qingtian lord, so it is not uncommon to describe Liu Zhenglong as Bao Qingtian reincarnated.
Could it be that he really wants to be a Bao Qingtian in Kaifeng County? Liu Zhenglong was a little self-deprecating, but he was happy to do it for the people, this guy smiled and said: "Old man, you can rest assured, I am good friends with that Qingtian master, I will help him deal with this matter and ensure that the Xie family will not bully you." β
"Thank you, official." Jin Laohan was about to pull his granddaughter to kowtow, but was stopped by Liu Zhenglong.
It was at this time that Bao Xu came back.
"Didn't you stop you from being rude? I said a long time ago, if you want to be a Sven and a civilized person, why can't you learn? Liu Zhenglong pretended to be very angry, but in fact he didn't mean to blame, he saw that there was no blood on Bao Xu's body, so he felt that it should be a big deal, and thought that Bao Xu had become Sven.
"Proprietor, this time I'm Sven, and I didn't let anyone bleed." Bao Xu looked proud, and he said with a big grin: "I just broke the two legs of those people, by the way, I broke the three legs of the son who thanked him." β
Hearing this, Liu Zhenglong drank the wine in his mouth and almost squirted out, breaking two legs, which is also called Sven. However, if it is really Sven, then it is not called the god of mourning.
"Okay, let's not talk about this, hurry up and eat, and then Wu Er will send the old man back, don't come back until the matter is resolved, after all, they also need someone to protect them."
Liu Zhenglong didn't take this matter to heart, but the son of the Xie family, one of the five major families, was discounted with three legs, how could he solve the problem so easily?
When Wu Er escorted Jin Laohan and the girl Ling Yan out of the door, he was stopped by the shopkeeper, on the grounds that he had injured the son of the Xie family, and the people from the government couldn't leave until they came.
Sven people, Wu Er doesn't know why he has become a Sven person today, he didn't break out, if it were according to his previous temperament, Wu Er would have beaten the shopkeeper all over the ground to find teeth, today in front of the little girl Ling Yan, this former tiger hero looks very Sven, and he doesn't mean to be rough at all.
Pan Jinlian, I don't know why, Liu Zhenglong suddenly felt that this Ling Yan looked like the Pan Jinlian in "Pan Jinlian's Past and Present Life", a full beauty, he vaguely guessed what Wu Er's heart was thinking, that kind of plot was going to be a matchmaker today.
Liu Zhenglong asked Wu Er to accompany Jin Laohan and Ling Yan upstairs, and everyone waited for the officials to come over and see how much trouble could be made.
If you want to say that there is a color, or Yan Qing has a color, this guy took the initiative to take on the task of appeasing Jin Laohan, which can be regarded as creating an opportunity for Wu Er and Ling Yan to get in touch. Wu Er is not talkative, but the little girl is talkative, and the two soon have a common topic.
At this time, there was a big chaos downstairs, and more than a dozen officials rushed up, and the leader said: "Who is so bold as to dare to hurt the eldest young master of the Xie family, hurry up and go with Lao Tzu to see the official." β
Yan Qing and the others didn't have Liu Zhenglong to speak, they didn't say a word, and they directly ignored the officials, although these guys were babbling, but after all, they didn't have the courage to do it, you must know that one person injured the legs of more than 30 people before, and in the face of such a vicious person, no one would rush up stupidly and let people break their legs.
Liu Zhenglong put down the teacup and said unhurriedly: "See the official, what kind of official?" Isn't it that the county magistrate Liu has not yet arrived? Now is it time to see the county magistrate or the county lieutenant? β
"Seeing that most of us are winged tigers and thunders, Lord Lei."
"Lei Heng? Is that the winged tiger that escaped from Liangshan? Liu Zhenglong realized at this time that when he encircled and suppressed Liangshan, too many people were spared, but this Lei Heng just loved to be greedy and cheap, and he didn't make any big mistakes, so there was no need to kill them all.
Originally, Liu Zhenglong was going to show his identity when he met the county lieutenant or the county lieutenant, but since he met the winged tiger Lei Heng, there was no need to expose it in advance, he said with a smile: "Yan Qing, you go down and call Lei Heng up, I have something to ask him." β
"Yes, I'll go down now." Yan Qing directly ignored those servants, and he hurriedly went downstairs to find Lei Heng.
Lei Heng, the winged tiger, did not expect to meet the prodigal son Yanqing on this occasion, the two used to drink a lot on Liangshan, and the relationship was almost the same.
After Yan Qing and Lei Heng exchanged a few words, they motioned to this guy to break up the officials.
After the winged tiger thunder crossed the officials, he said: "If the brothers have anything to say, just say it, they are all their own brothers, there is no need to go around in circles." β
It seems that Lei Heng misunderstood, he also thought that Yan Qing followed Song Jiang and thought that there was a grass coward upstairs, no wonder he injured the legs of dozens of people with a shot, and there was only the group of extremely vicious bandits on Liangshan.
"It's nothing, Lord Liu is upstairs, I want you to go up and have a few words."
"Lord Liu, that Lord Liu?"
Yan Qing said with a smile: "Of course, it's the upcoming Lord Liu in Kaifeng County, you think it will be that Lord Liu who is willing to see you like a big sesame seed." β
"Lord Liu?" When he heard Lord Liu, Lei Heng's head was big, and this guy said hesitantly: "After leaving Liangshan, I have no contact with Song Jiang and the others, I just want to live a stable life for a few years, and I have never done anything illegal and undisciplined again." β
The name of the person, the shadow of the tree, in Lei Heng's heart, Liu Zhenglong is a bad star, wherever this guy goes, someone will be unlucky. Liang Shan, who was in the middle of the day, easily defeated Gao Yu, the captain who led the 100,000 forbidden army, but it was quickly wiped out in front of Liu Zhenglong.
"Brother, you think too much, Lord Liu is a private interview with Weifu, and he hasn't taken office yet, so he won't pursue what happened before at all, otherwise, I won't stay here." Yan Qing couldn't help but say, pulled Lei Heng and walked upstairs, while walking, he said over and over again: "Brother has all his skills, isn't it too aggrieved to be a little head, why be so willing to fall, follow Lord Liu, you are destined to have a great future, you have to recognize the situation clearly, don't dare to go the wrong way again." β
A thief for a day, a thief for life, it's not easy to wash your name, Lei Heng, who has married a wife and had children, is really timid, without the evil spirit of the past, he doesn't want to pursue fame and fortune, just want to be plain and be a little catcher for a lifetime.
As soon as he entered the house, Lei Heng knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, obviously he was skeptical of what Yan Qing said, but this guy knew that life and death were between Lord Liu's thoughts, and it was better for him to be careful.
"The famous winged tiger Lei Heng, how can he live in the small Kaifeng County to be the head of the capital, but it is good to be the head of the capital, after the official takes office, many things still depend on the head of the thunder." Liu Zhenglong knew why Lei Heng was nervous, but he really needed this capital to help him gain a firm foothold in Kaifeng County now, although he didn't know how complicated the situation in Kaifeng County was, it was not a bad thing to have such a capital head to work for himself.
"I am willing to serve the dogs and horses for adults."
"Okay, get up, by the way, you are the head of the capital here, what about the beautiful bearded man Zhu Tong?" Liu Zhenglong motioned for Yan Qing to prepare the banquet again, and he said with a smile: "You and Zhu Tong have a fateful friendship, one is not separated, you are in Kaifeng County, he should be there, I just don't know what that beautiful bearded man is doing." β
Lei Heng knew that Lord Liu needed his head to gain a foothold in the official office, so there was no previous panic in his heart, and he said with a smile: "Zhu Tong serves under the Wang's command, and he is better than me, and he is in charge of thousands of soldiers." β
"Very well, call him to get together another day." Liu Zhenglong waited for the banquet to come up and said: "Today, let's talk while eating, by the way, let the officials below also go to the bar, and the account will be settled together after a while." β
Lei Heng knew that Liu Zhenglong wanted to understand the situation in Kaifeng County through his own mouth, at this time he was very conflicted in his heart, the county lieutenant Han Chong could be said to have the grace of knowing him, and he felt a little ungrateful when he said it, if he didn't say it, his impression score in front of Lord Liu would be reduced a lot, if he couldn't be valued by Lord Liu, he would basically be the end.
Liu Zhenglong seemed to see Lei Heng's thoughts, he said with a smile: "You don't need to have any worries, this official came to Kaifeng County to do the facts for the people in a down-to-earth manner, not to expel the county lieutenant Han Chong, after all, his existence has no impact on the official, if you feel inconvenient, you can not mention this aspect of the content, just chat about it today, the official is more concerned about how powerful the five major families are in Kaifeng, so that even the county has to fear them." β
When he knew that Lord Liu was not going to engage in county lieutenant Han Chong, Lei Heng's heart was deep and there was no pressure, as for saying that Lord Liu wanted to engage in the five major families and the county Cheng Li Mingshan, it was not something he could worry about.
Lei Heng drank a glass of wine and said: "The ancestors of the five major families all made great contributions when the country was founded, of course, they are far from catching up with those meritorious families in the capital, but they are also invincible in Kaifeng County. After all, more than 160 years of accumulation, the relationship network is intertwined, plus Kaifeng County is next to the capital, the relationship network of the five major families has long arrived at the imperial court, and the prince of the political hall, the four major families of the meritorious family, and the princes and magnates, the royal relatives and relatives have dealings, and the five major families have signed offensive and defensive alliances, and they have married each other, which can be said to be a loss and a glory, in this case, of course, the county will not be put in the eyes. β
"There is one thing that you may not be embarrassed to say, that is, it is true in the world of civil officials in the Great Song Dynasty, but once there is ironclad evidence and there is a reason to be suspected by the political affairs hall, then it will be difficult for civil officials to gain a foothold in the local area, and they will soon be transferred, do you want to tell this official?"
"That's pretty much it." Lei Heng is a rough man, and he is not very familiar with the twists and turns of civil officials, but he just understands the situation in Kaifeng County. He said: "As long as there is evidence, or the minister of the political affairs hall is determined to let the magistrate of Kaifeng County move, then he must go, and no one can be an exception." These may or may not have something to do with the five major families, but everyone is spreading it, and the relationship between the five families will not be able to stay if the county is uneven. As for whether it is true or false, there is no way to verify. β
"Then the former magistrate Xu Hong, was he dismissed because he offended the five major families?"
"It's not." Lei Heng was very sure of this, and he said categorically: "Xu Hong has an excellent relationship with the five major families, it can be said that he is embarrassed, how can he be blown away by the five major families?" The reason why this guy occupied the official mansion and didn't move out was because he was guaranteed by the five major families that he would drive away you, the new magistrate, in a few months, and let Xu Hong re-serve as the magistrate. It was troublesome to move back and forth, so Xu Hong didn't move the nest. β
"It's not that he was dismissed for offending the five major families, so do you know why Xu Hong was dismissed?" Liu Zhenglong is very eager to understand his predecessor, which is very important for him to take charge of Kaifeng County in the future.
"It's hard to say.".
Lei Heng was a little hesitant, after all, there were some things that he could not say, after all, he was facing the incoming Xinzhi County, the protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven, and the son-in-law of the Pan family, and if he said something bad, it would cause a lot of trouble.
"If you don't say it, I can guess it, that is, the county Cheng Li Mingshan stared at the position of the county magistrate and tried to find a way to arch Xu Hong down, and Li Mingshan has a special mission and is supported in the imperial court, so the five major families can't fight, so this situation is not right?"
