Chapter Twenty-Five: Purpose
Wang Zezhi sat on the first seat in the Zhongyi Hall and stared into the distance, thinking about what he should do next.
"Ah Niu."
"Yes."
"Call Xiong Jiachang, Yu Zhong, and Jia Cai."
"Yes."
Ah Niu retreated and called for someone to go, Wang Zezhi looked at the young leader at the door and beckoned.
"My lord, what do you command?" The young man walked over respectfully and asked cautiously.
"You have a wounded brother who is still in the deserted village, right?"
"Yes, sir."
"What's your name?"
"Qi Qi, the above and the bottom are Qi, strange Qi."
"Okay, Qi Qi, I need you to do three things now, first, send some food to the deserted village, the food in the deserted village is not very sufficient; Second, the deserted village needs to be protected, and I need you to recruit some young people to come back and protect the deserted village;
Third, your brother's injury needs to be healed, you go to the earth cave to find Xiao Liuzi, ask if Lao Langzhong is still there, if he is still there, take him out, if he has already returned to Yuci, you go to Yuci to pick him up.
Also, leave four people to be optimistic about the arsenal, and the arsenal must not be lost.
Li Hua, open the warehouse and fetch him a thousand taels of silver. ”
Wang Zezhi said to the guards beside him who knew how to do kung fu.
Li Hua, fist and foot kung fu, according to him said that he was adopted and raised by a Taoist priest in the mountains when he was a child, and now his master has gone down the mountain in troubled times, and he still does not know whether he is alive or dead.
Taoist priests go down the mountain in troubled times, this is the rule.
Wang Zenei is very fond of Ah Niu and Li Hua in his heart, because these two people have their own characteristics.
One is the son of a fast catcher, with justice in his heart, and the other is the adopted son of a Taoist priest, who thinks of the common people.
"Yes, my lord, my subordinates will definitely live up to their trust."
Qi Qi finally heard that Wang Zezhi was going to ask Lang Zhong to treat his brother, and he became excited, he had never met anyone who would care about them when he was so old.
In the past, everywhere they appeared, everyone shouted and hated them, and no one cared about their life or death.
"Okay, there you go."
Qi Qi was a little moved at this moment and wanted to cry, he excitedly took a thousand taels of silver and ran to arrange it.
As soon as he walked out of the Zhongyi Hall, Ah Niu walked in in turn with Xiong Jiachang, Yu Zhong, and Jia Cai.
"Now I need you to go to Yuxian County to recruit some capable people, and if they have families, recruit their whole families.
What does it mean to be capable?
Xiong Jiachang, you need to recruit young people who can fight to come back, and the ruffians and hooligans can also be ruthless, just be ruthless, I suggest you go to Yuxian for a trip.
Now the grain in Yu County is 1223 yuan and a stone, so the people of Yu County must be living in dire straits, I dare to conclude that there are countless displaced people in Yu County, and this kind of ruthless people can be seen everywhere.
Yu Zhong, you need to recruit county garrisons, deserters from all walks of life, post station officials, government officials, helpers and other characters, if you can buy all the officers and soldiers in Shouyang County, it would be better.
Jia Cai, you need to recruit businessmen who can do business, gentlemen who can read and break words, depressed lifters, jinshi, all kinds of craftsmen, blacksmiths, carpenters, papermakers, printers, etc.
Now take a thousand taels of silver from each of you, and go on the road at once, and I will see the results in three days.
Do you understand? ”
"Understood."
The three of them were enthusiastic, and they always felt that Wang Zezhi was going to do something big, and from the orders he issued alone, they knew that Wang Zezhi was not simple.
"My lord, Liu Heihu spoke."
As soon as the three of them left, Wen Yi walked in with a key the size of a fingernail in both hands.
Liu Heihu, just like his name, he is the owner of this Black Tiger Village, it is he who led a group of bandits to rob houses, oppress the good, and collude with the Wenju people.
I don't know what method Wen Yi used to pry open the mouth of the owner of the Black Tiger Village so quickly.
"Oh? What did he say? ”
Wang Zezhi's eyes lit up, and he waited expectantly for Wen Yi's next step.
"My lord, according to Liu Heihu's confession, the magistrates of Shouyang County and Wenju were bold, and they teamed up with the eight official gentry to privately contact the merchants of the Jin Kingdom.
They traded rice grain, weapons and other military materials with the Jin State, and at the same time spent a lot of money to buy off the border armies of Taiyuan, Datong and Xuanfu, which made the imperial court's policy of restricting the construction of slaves an empty talk, and these people should be killed.
The firearms, grain, tea, and salt in this stockade are all to be sold to the Kingdom of Jin, which is a traitorous act of betrayal.
The secret letter between them and the merchants of the Jin Kingdom is hidden in the mechanism of the Black Tiger Village, which is the key to open the mechanism. ”
Wen Yi's words were fierce, and the whole person was indignant, and he angrily condemned the actions of Shouyang Zhixian and Wen Juren.
Wang Zezhi listened to his statement and didn't say a word, just looked at Wen Yi indifferently.
"Wen Yi, you're from the imperial court, right?"
After Wen Yi finished speaking, Wang Zezhi suddenly asked coldly.
Wen Yi shook his head, looked up at Wang Zezhi, and then slowly knelt down.
"Wen Yi begs your lord to deliver this item to the imperial court."
"Wen Yi, there is one thing I don't understand, you can completely win the Black Tiger Village by yourself, but why did you give the Black Tiger Village to me?"
Wang Zezhi was very puzzled by this, if Wen Yi wanted to obtain these things, there was no need to go through his hands at all.
As long as he stuns the people in the village, he can get these things faster.
"My lord, you have spared your life, this is a great kindness."
Wen Yi said sincerely.
Wang Zezhi pondered it carefully, and it seemed to make some sense.
If he kills Wen Yi, there will be nothing left, let alone getting what he wants.
"It's not worth giving me such a big gift, is it?"
"I always have to leave in the next, and I don't deserve the trust of the adults, not only did the adults let go of the next life, but the adults also trusted the next life, and I felt guilty in the next heart."
It turned out that he didn't want to owe himself, Wang Zezhi also understood when he heard this, this made a little sense, but Wang Zezhi always felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't think of anything wrong for a while.
When Wang Zezhi let him go, he could have walked away.
But he is not a merciless person, Wang Zezhi let him go, he owed Wang Zezhi, and Wang Zezhi trusted him, which made him ashamed.
So he decided to give Wang Zeyi a gift, which was Black Tiger Village, to make up for the guilt in his heart.
According to this logic, there seems to be nothing wrong with it.
"Oh, I see."
In fact, Wang Zezhi admires Wen Yi very much, from his holding on to gold to survive, to poisoning the Black Tiger Village, these two things show that Wen Yi is very smart.
Since Wen Yi is so smart, then he must have a plan to give the Black Tiger Village to himself.
So what is his plan?
Wang Zezhi didn't know.
To put it another way, Wen Yi is so smart, then he must have a purpose for staying here, what if he is allowed to leave?
"Okay, Wen Yi is worried about the country and the people, he is upright, he wants to save Li Min's life in fire and water, he is really a model for my generation, and my king is really admired.
Come, take a thousand taels of silver, and send a document for use on the road. ”
Wang Zezhi suddenly got up, walked down from the first seat, and instructed Li Hua to fetch silver.
