Chapter 15: Righteousness (2nd Update, Asking for Support)
Transporting salt!
A banner man's Chinese dialect!
Surname History......
When rushing to the city gate, Zuo Mingyong secretly muttered in his heart, thinking in his heart, what kind of slave is this? If you sell salt, it will be too arrogant......
When he was thinking like this, he didn't notice at all that there seemed to be more people entering the city this time than in the past, and there would only be one thought left in his heart, don't let other people stare at this Qinghe tax customs!
Although after the death of the master, Zuo Mingyong knew that he would not last for a few days, and someone else would take over the son, but how could he hand over the hundreds of taels of income every day.
"Master Zuo, when you get there, as long as you give an order, the little ones will have to swallow him alive when the time comes......"
Before the helper next to him finished speaking, a big mouth slapped on the gang's face.
"You know!"
Worried, when he rode his horse to the city gate, he hurriedly jumped off the horse, put on his whole robe, entered the urn city, and then went to the main city gate, and looked at the people sitting in the city gate, and said in a hurry and politely.
"Yo, I don't know if that old man is here, and I forgive the old man for being far away."
Leading more than a dozen helpers and patrolmen, Zuo Mingyong walked in front of Zhang Xiaowu in three steps and two steps, and said politely with both hands in his fists.
"This little brother is Zuo Mingyong below. I don't know who the master of the old brother's family is? ”
The masters in this capital have never felt that there is silver in their hands, and they have picked up the silver one by one, and they have never been polite, this salt sale is a million profits, and those masters will naturally not let it go, Zuo Mingyong naturally knows some rumors, but he pretends to turn a blind eye.
"You are Zuo Mingyong?"
After taking a sip of tea, Zhang Xiaowu, who was sitting on the chair, frowned and looked up and down the visitor.
Seeing that this kid was still so arrogant when he arrived here, for a while, Zuo Mingyong really couldn't make up his mind. If the other party's backstage is an ordinary salt merchant, it is not more difficult to kill him than to kill an ant, but if he is an ordinary salt merchant, how can he be so arrogant, let alone have this accent? I'm afraid it's not from the Han Eight Banners! But in this case, how could they come to sell salt in person, and those masters in the Jingshi, didn't they all hand over this matter to the clothed slaves who were accepted after entering the customs? So that it doesn't dazzle the eyes.
Since you dare to be so arrogant, the master behind this person may not be as noble!
After thinking about this, Zuo Mingyong, the assistant of Qinghe Pass, suppressed the anger in his heart, and gently bowed his hand again, and said politely.
"It's down there! Where did this brother come from? Forgive Zuo for being clumsy and unable to recognize the brother, if there is any offense, please bear with me! ”
"I said, Lao Zuo, you dog minion, you're really clumsy!"
Zhang Xiaowu has been on the dock for many years, and he has seen all kinds of people, he will pretend to be a slave of a wealthy family, but he is also so look-alike, and he has not shown any flaws, and his scolding like this has made Zuo Mingyong unable to figure out where he came from, and people have become more cautious.
"I can't even recognize our family's banner, even Lang Tingyou's old slave saw us, so he had to be called a master. Look at it yourself, do you know this thing? ”
I didn't know how to take out a copper waist card from my waist, handed it to An Fengquan casually, and then said with a big grin.
"Lao An, that past has opened the eyes of the surnamed Zuo!"
"Piercing!"
An Fengquan deliberately pretended to be a flag man, and when he took the token, he swaggered in front of Zuo Mingyong, and then said.
"See for yourself who our owner is!"
"Well, thank you!"
Seeing that their style is a typical flag man's style, Zuo Mingyong dared to be the slightest slack, took the token with both hands, and held it up in front of his eyes to watch carefully. I saw that the upper end of the waist card has a moire ornament, and the front of the waist card is horizontally engraved with the words "Loyal and Righteous Army".
"Loyal Army...... It's ......"
At first, I was thinking about which battalion this was, but in an instant, Zuo Mingyong's heart trembled and exclaimed.
"You are pirates, ...... you are coming"
Without waiting for Zuo Mingyong to finish speaking, An Fengquan in front of him had already punched Zuo Mingyong's helper in the face, and before he could shout out the pain, he pulled out the waist knife from his waist and slashed towards Zuo Mingyong. When the knife fell, a piece of blood red sprayed out from the broken neck!
"The Pirates Are Coming......"
Without waiting for those patrolmen and helpers to shout out, Zhang Xiaowu had already carried the half-zhang-long iron rod in his hand, swept away the patrolmen and helpers around him, and rushed to the jack gate a few feet away in their screams, and stuck the arm-thick iron rod into the crack of the jack gate.
And this will, the city gate is already a mess, the city guard is even more exclaiming, he didn't expect such a mutation, originally thought that he only saw the excitement and how could he have expected all this, in his exclamation, the soldiers guarding the city, hurriedly cut the rope of the jack gate.
"Boom ......"
With a muffled sound, the jack gate that descended from the city gate was stuck straight five feet above the ground, and the iron rod in the crack directly blocked the jack gate.
At the same time, there were more than a dozen loyal soldiers disguised as boatmen, carrying salt bags and killing the other brothers into the city gate, at the same time, just when Cao Ding on the city wall wanted to kill down, hundreds of Cao Gang disciples dressed as boatmen rushed out of the alley on the side, with knives and guns in their hands, and went straight to the city wall under the leadership of Zhang Ping.
"Zhang Ping, you and I are our own brothers, you, what are you doing?"
Not to mention that Xie Yu'an was surprised, even the other Cao Ding were all surprised, they naturally recognized that among the people who had been killed, except for Zhang Ping, all of them were local brothers of the Cao Gang, and many of them were still friends and neighbors when they were young.
Even many of them, yesterday they were drinking and eating meat together, and this will be against each other again, for them, naturally, it is a little uncomfortable and even unacceptable, after all, most of them are too familiar.
"Brothers, you and my ancestors are soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and they have been favored by the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years.
With a knife in both hands, Zhang Ping's mouth said politely, but there was murderous intent in his eyes, and there were a few people in this Qinghe City who didn't know that he Zhang Ping was a master in the Cao Gang, and few people on this city wall could stop him.
"Brother Zhang, this, this ......"
While Xie Yu'an was hesitating, the Cao Gang brothers with knives and guns behind Zhang Ping had already shouted loudly to their acquaintances,
"Second Sun, I said, the last time I drank at my house, didn't you still say that you left that rat's tail, and you won't be able to see your ancestors when you die in the future, this great opportunity is right in front of you, don't you seize it quickly!"
"That's it, He San, don't forget that your father was killed by the Manchurian Tartars, and now you are working for the Manchurians, but you are recognizing the thief as your father......"
Just when everyone hesitated, suddenly there was a bang from the governor's yamen in the distance, and when they looked at the governor's yamen that had released a cloud of white smoke, the people at the head of the city all threw their swords and guns and shouted.
"His grandmother's grandson, who has been a dog for so many years, why shouldn't we be traitors today......"
There was a man who started his head, and there was a shout from there.
"That's it, that's it, don't be a traitor, you shouldn't be a traitor......"
Although people kept shouting, Xie Yuan was still hesitating, he looked at Zhang Ping, listened to some restless shouting behind him, and knew that this would be a mess of the soldiers, first raised the knife, and then dropped the knife and asked.
"Zhang Ping, you and I are our own brothers, you tell the younger brother, this Cao Gang brother returned to the Ming Dynasty, whether it was his own business, or he got in touch with Prince Zheng in the south!"
Afraid that the brothers behind him would not understand him, Xie Yu'an said loudly again.
"Brothers, no one wants to keep this rat's tail, but our family is in Qinghe, if Prince Zheng's army comes, we won't be traitors before the battle anyway, that's natural, but Xie has to think about the brothers' net worth, if ......"
Before Xie Yu'an finished speaking, a roar came from under the city gate.
"I said, if it weren't for my family's military sect saying that you are all your own brothers, and you don't have the blood of our Han people on your hands, this would have been attacked by 10,000 artillery sooner!"
It was Zhang Xiaowu who had just taken the city gate cave who spoke, he was carrying a knife, and Xie Yuan, who didn't even look at it, shouted directly at Zhang Ping.
"Brother Zhang, how is it, do you want to help? All the brothers of the Loyal Army have come ashore......"
Before his words fell, hundreds of boatmen rushed to the city gate over there, and Xie Yu'an asked with wide eyes when he heard his words.
"This, this military master is a brother of the Loyal Army? But Zhu Junmen's loyal army! ”
The name of a man, the shadow of a tree. This sentence is really true, almost after getting an affirmative answer, Xie Yu'an did not hesitate to throw away the red top on his head, and shouted in his mouth.
"Damn, Zhang Laosan, you are not a thing, he said that the brothers of the Loyal and Righteous Army called, and our brothers dare not stop you even if they eat the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard, isn't it ......"
Scolding Zhang Ping in his mouth, Xie Yu'an said to the people around him as if he remembered something.
"Liu Laoshuan, you take a few brothers to the camp and tell the brothers not to act rashly, damn it, although our Cao Ding is not a hero, we must not stand in the way of a hero!"
As soon as his words fell, Zhang Ping laughed and laughed.
"Xie Yu'an, do you think there will be no one over there? My helper may be drinking with the brothers in the camp right now......"
At this moment, his words were interrupted by a dense explosion, which came from the direction of the Yamen of the Governor of Caoyun, and Zhang Xiaowu shouted as he listened to the explosion.
"What the hell are you doing? Why don't you kill with Lao Tzu and kill the ...... when you are so hot"
