335 Two Taoist Priests (Middle)
There is a small town on the side of the road from Fushun to Shenyang, the town is not big, but there are also people who do business, walking on the street only to see those who sell mountain goods and furs, as well as those who sell clothes and headwear, are peddling business, one by one attitude is very enthusiastic, seeing people passing by is like seeing their own brothers, but seeing Zhang Liang and Shi Quan, we don't care much, as long as the family is okay or the heart is fine, who wants to pay attention to the monks? Zhang Liang and Shi Quan came to a blacksmith shop at the end of the town and looked inside, thinking about why no one had opened the door to do business when the sun was getting old, and Zhang Liang looked at the crack in the door.
Shi Quan looked left and right to see that there was no one, and then whispered: "Brother Zhang, don't look at it, or we pretend to be thirsty and knock on the door to ask for a bowl of water to drink, what do you think?" ”
Zhang Liang said: "It's a good idea, knock on the door and a big girl will give you water to drink, and then you can write a sentence like 'the peach blossoms on the human face are red' as the story says, how beautiful it is!" It's a pity that this is not the south, don't think about that good thing, you better keep your mouth shut and pretend to be dumb. ”
Seeing that Shi Quan stopped talking, Zhang Liang moved a stone and stood up and looked into the wall, then smiled and began to smash the door with his fists. Slamming the door early in the morning? ”
As soon as the door opened, I saw a young man in his teens, and after opening the door, he rubbed his eyes and looked at Zhang Liang dissatisfied, Zhang Liang said, "It's still early in the morning?" Everyone else is going to have lunch. ”
The young man saw that Zhang Liang and the two were dressed as Taoist priests, and immediately said: "The two Taoist masters, please go to another house, my family's business is light and I don't have extra money and food for you." "After saying that, he made a gesture to close the door.
Zhang Liang stopped him and said, "Don't close the door first, we're not here to fight the autumn wind." ”
The young man looked Zhang Liang and Shi Quan up and down, and then said, "If you don't want things, you're doing business, but we can't do your business." ”
Zhang Liang asked strangely: "Why is this?" ”
The young man said, "Now that iron weapons are strictly controlled, if you have a sword and a rake, we can make a fire and add some steel fire for you, but you don't have any iron on you, it will be difficult to do it, and we have a business that is to nail horseshoes, but you don't have horses, and you can't do it if you two nail a palm on your feet, can you?" ”
Zhang Liang looked at the young man and then cracked his mouth and smiled: "You are Zhang San's brother, right?" It looks like it's not like it's like it's almost the same as a broken mouth, where is Zhang San asking him to come out to see me. Tell him that I am not here to cheat or borrow money, but to repay him, and that he will leave immediately and don't want to ask me for it in the future. ”
When the young man saw that he was an acquaintance and had come to repay the money, he immediately smiled and said, "The two Taoist masters, please, my brother worked late last night and is now sleeping, I will go and call him out immediately." With that, he ran all the way in.
After a while, I saw a fat man in his thirties come out, and while getting dressed, he asked, "Where did you come from to pay back the Taoist priest?" Is anyone teasing me? ”
As soon as this person came out and looked at Zhang Liang, he immediately nervously rushed to the door to cover the door, turned his head and instructed his brother: "If you don't do business today, someone will ask me and say that I am sick, you can go outside to play if you are okay, and by the way, see if there is anyone outside." ”
The person who came out was Zhang San in Zhang Liang's mouth, that is, the old relationship he said, Zhang San led Zhang Liang and Shi Quan to the inner room and sat down, and then looked at Shi Quan vigilantly and asked Zhang Liang: "Who is he?" ”
Zhang Liang said: "My own people." ”
Zhang San said hesitantly: "It's not that I can't believe it, who is he?" ”
Zhang Liang thought for a while and said: "I haven't seen this Shi brother before, but he was recommended by the commander, it is said that he has done things for the emperor and received the emperor's reward, and now it is a hundred households This time the matter is done and may be promoted, do you still have any questions?" ”
Zhang San said enviously: "At a young age, he is already a hundred households and will be promoted, please take care of it when the time comes!" ”
Seeing that Shi Quan didn't speak, Zhang Liang said: "This is your own person, don't pretend to be dumb." ”
Shi Quan said at this time: "I just received a salary for 100 households and never took care of people, and I asked Brother Zhang to take care of it." ”
Zhang Sanyi was even more relieved when he heard this, nodded and said, "It's easy to say!" Then he turned his head to Zhang Liang and said, "You are too bold, you came to me so recklessly after not seeing each other for many years, aren't you afraid that I will sell you?" ”
Zhang Liang said: "If you take refuge in the Jurchens, you will definitely be better off than now, even if you can pretend, there are some places where you can't pretend." I started to climb the wall to look, and there were two patches on your big pants in the yard, which means that you didn't mix well. Your low-key statement shows that at least you haven't revealed your identity yet, and besides, we saved each other back then, and no one will betray me if you betray me. ”
Zhang San sighed and asked, "What do you want to venture here this time?" ”
Zhang Liang said: "We are going to Shenyang City to find two people, you can arrange it for us, don't ask what the specific matter is, anyway, the stakes are very high." ”
Zhang San asked: "It's as simple as finding two people?" I'll just find it for you, so why do you have to make it yourself? Now that the city of Shenyang is strictly controlled, this Shi Baihu is easy to reveal his foreign accent. ”
Zhang Liang said: "You still have to stay here and not be exposed, in addition to looking for people, we also need the terrain and troop layout in Shenyang City, and by the way, find a few traitors." ”
The next day, a carriage drove from near Fushun to the direction of Shenyang, Zhang Liang and Shi Quan sat in the car, and Zhang San sat in front to drive the horse forward. Along the way, acquaintances kept asking Zhang San where he was going, and Zhang San said that he was going to Shenyang City. Later, when he entered the city gate, he was stopped by soldiers, and Zhang San said that several horses of a certain Baylor in Shenyang City were going to change their hands, because they were exchanged with him before, so this time he personally came to do business. When asked about Zhang Liang, Zhang San said that these two were Taoist priests from Laozhai, who went to Shenyang City to do things for people, and the soldiers saw Zhang Liang's unfathomable demeanor, looking like a Taoist person, and there was no weapon on his body, so he let go.
After the three of them entered the city, they saw that there were still many soldiers patrolling the street, and they didn't dare to delay much and went straight to the Taoist temple that Liu Xingzuo said.
It turned out that Liu Xingzuo had the idea of returning to Ming, and he thought about the way back, he first took out the two brothers in the family, and then arranged for the two brothers to enter the Taoist temple in Shenyang City through a third party, and the idea was that once the matter was revealed, his brothers would not be affected. Now that the time is ripe, he wants to take the two brothers away, and by the way, he uses this opportunity to kill some people in Shenyang City and teach Huang Taiji some lessons, so he asked Zhang Liang and Shi Quan to contact.
After Zhang Liang and Shi Quan finally came to Shenyang, they suddenly found that the Taoist temple that Liu Xingzuo said was missing, so they went to a restaurant next to them to eat in doubt, and asked for food while asking about the Taoist temple. The shopkeeper is also a talkative person, anyway, the business is light, so he carefully explained the reason for the Taoist temple to move. It turned out that this temple had caught fire the year before last, and there was no money to repair it, so it came out with more than half of the land empty, and only surrounded it with a brick wall to prevent others from coming in and encroaching on it. Who knew that this could stop ordinary people and couldn't stop special people, and when a favored minister of Huang Taiji saw it, he ordered the Taoist temple to move away, so it became a mansion.
The north is vast and sparsely populated, unlike the south where people are everywhere, so the temples and Taoist temples in the north are mostly built not far from the town, and they really want to build houses in the barren mountains and mountains like the south, and the beasts don't come to eat you, and you don't have anything to eat yourself. I heard that they took some compensation and went to Salhu, you can go there and ask, maybe your Taoist friends are waiting for you there. ”
Zhang nodded and said: "Thank you for this little brother, but I have a question, you said that Tiancong Khan's favored courtiers occupied this land, since they occupied it, how could they compensate those Taoist priests?" There doesn't seem to be such a reason in the world. ”
The shopkeeper said: "Daoist, you may not know, although this Lord Ning has a prominent status and is valued by the Great Sweat, he is humble and does not take advantage of others, so he will give some compensation to those Taoist priests who were originally here, such officials are really rare now." ”
Zhang Liang couldn't help but move in his heart when he heard what the shopkeeper said, and asked softly, "Who is Lord Ning that the little brother is talking about?" ”
The shopkeeper said: "It seems to be called Ning Wan me." ”
When the shopkeeper was talking to Zhang San, the shopkeeper was sitting at the counter after eating and picking his teeth, and when he saw that the shopkeeper actually said the name of the official in the DPRK and China, he called the shopkeeper over and reprimanded: "How can you say the name of the official?" Why is such a big person still so ignorant? If you get into trouble, it doesn't matter what if you get involved? ”
Zhang Liang and the three of them hurriedly finished eating and drove away, turned to a remote place, Zhang San stopped the carriage and asked, "Since the person you are looking for is not with us, do you want to leave the city immediately?" Also, when the second shop started talking about Ning Wan me, why did you look so strange? Do you have a grudge against him and want to beat him? ”
Zhang Liang nodded and said fiercely: "I don't want to beat him, but I want to slaughter his whole family!" ”
It turned out that Ning Wan and Fan Wencheng, Li Yongfang, Sun Degong and several others were all the top people in the list of traitors in the Ming Army. Huang Taiji's throne was given to him by Dai Shan's style, so as soon as he took office, he engaged in a Eight Kings Discussion, which means that I am just a leader, or I still have to rely on everyone to govern all affairs, he is so democratic Everyone is very happy, and I feel that I have not looked away.
But after a long time, Huang Taiji felt that there was no right, everyone's clothes were about the same color, and they all sat together on an equal footing, and they couldn't show that they were superior, which made Huang Taiji unhappy ♀ in his heart, and being an official was to make people respect at any time, and the respect that one person could receive made eight people taste light, and the honor they got was similar to everyone else, and this thing made people feel how uncomfortable they wanted to be, and they felt that the significance of this sweat position was not great for a long time, and it was much better to sit on the side and enjoy it.
Huang Taiji is unhappy and his subordinates can also feel it, and always feel that the leader's temper has also become stinky and the frame has become bigger, I don't know why sometimes Hou will be nameless anger, which makes people confused. In fact, it is the same at all times, if a leader cannot show himself superior on his clothes and hat signs, he will inevitably show his authority in other ways.
