On that day, the city was broken, Zhang Xianling and others escaped from Mizhi in embarrassment, and finally saw through the pole's thoughts, so they did not go far, and settled in the Li family, which was forty miles away from the city. The manor of the old landlord of Li Jiaji became a temporary rice fat office for a while.

The county is stationed, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the old landlord has to be a burst of hospitable hospitality, Zhang County Order can not reciprocate, on the spot gave him the Li family Dumiao a county secretary office official body, immediately moved the Li family is crying bitterly, the hospitality supply is more rich and courteous.

He entertained here, and at the same time, in case the pole chased after him and ruined the life of the county, the Li family mobilized all the villagers and the children of their own relatives, and integrated more than 200 people to go to the fort to strictly defend it.

In the evening, Master Qian, who was gathering the village warriors outside, no, now called Qian Zanhua and the border army general with the rank of deputy chief soldier who was assigned down rushed to converge.

This Qian Zanhua took a lot of blank space and said goodbye, and spread out his three-inch incorruptible tongue, which encouraged some old rich and powerful people with dirt buns, and even let him gather an army of 2,000 villagers and more than 1,000 masters in just a few days, escorting hundreds of carts of grain, grass and property, and rushing to meet him.

Of course, this time Qian Zanhua and the general also fell into full pockets, and they were overjoyed.

When they met, Master Qian did not kowtow to Zhang Xianling at this time, but just gave up his hand at the same level.

It is calculated that the former praise painting is the same grade as the county order, but Qian Zanhua will walk in front of the governor in the future, so to speak, it is the future celebrity around the governor, and the county order is to give Qian Zanhua a respectful salute.

The two masters also stepped forward to see, and they couldn't help but be a little sneering and a little jealous, but after all, this time the proprietor did not break his promise, and also gave them two officials to say goodbye, but the officials are officials and not officials, so they are different from this master Qian.

Fortunately, Master Qian also remembered everyone's past feelings, and did not let his former colleagues kneel down and kowtow, which also made some embarrassment.

This time, in the face of the military Han Shili, Zhang Xianling no longer holds the literati shelf, after all, his future is worrying now, his own thousand households have been missing, can he return to the city to atone for his crimes, and he has to count on this military man to contribute, and he is also cautious in returning.

After some politeness, a group of people came to the original Li family hall to sit down and introduce their situation to each other. I was embarrassed for a while, it was really impermanent, the originally discussed plan came to naught, and seeing a great achievement that poured the sky became a big disaster, how can it not be embarrassing?

Looking at the depressed former proprietor, Qian Zanhua opened his mouth and said with relief: "The county lord doesn't have to be discouraged, we now have two thousand well-equipped villagers, and if we take time, we can also recruit two or three thousand people, and our strength can fight with the poles of those rabble." In addition, looking at the situation of the county Zun fleeing from the dust this time, I don't want to stay there anymore, I must want to get money and food, and then loot and go, we wait for them to disperse, not only take back the county town generously, but also use the power of four or five thousand in our hands to carry out a ploughing and sweeping blow to the scattered cottage thieves, as long as we break a few villages at that time, take thousands of heads, then we can make up for the sin of losing the city in the county. ”

"But." Zhang Xian inhaled with a toothache.

Qian Zanhua understood the county zun's thoughts, and leaned his head to the old proprietor and whispered: "The county lord doesn't have to worry, guarding the county seat is a matter of guarding thousands of households, you are just in the middle of the dispatch, this loss of the city has nothing to do with you, not to mention that the thousand households have disappeared, for a thousand dead people who have fallen into the enemy's formation, it is the best scapegoat." ”

Zhang Xianling nodded slightly, but after thinking about it, he couldn't help but whisper worried to this former henchman: "However, now there is a town that runs out with me, a few hundred households, if they want." ”

Qian Zan saw that the people on the left and right were still far away from him, so he put his head closer again, and whispered in Zhang County's ear: "This is also easy to do, when the troops are sent to attack the cottage in a few days, we will bring them with us, and a scene before the battle will appear before the battle to kill the enemy. "After all, it's still a master-slave game, and if you can help, you still have to help, but it's not good to have a bad reputation.

When Zhang Xianling heard this, his eyes suddenly opened up as if he saw the sun, and he quickly stood up at the moment, solemnly gave Qian Zan is a gift, and said with great sincerity: "Dezanhua is an adult's teachings, the student is infinitely grateful here, and when he is exempted from a major sin, I will have a heart to repay the adult." ”

Qian Zanhua also accepted this gift calmly, and then waited for the county to sit down, and had something to say.

Why is Qian Zanhua so concerned about planning for Zhang County's order?

But it turns out that on the one hand, of course, there is the friendship of the original proprietor, and the elements of the old love are there, but in fact, they are also planning for themselves.

This time, he was able to leap from a white body to an official, and it was also thanks to this rice fat pole association, in fact, Qian Zanhua was not worried about the fall of the county seat, but happy. But if you don't show any performance in this accident, you will inevitably lose your value in front of the governor, so you must take out something to show the new proprietor of the governor in this war, your ability and means, so that you can use the excuse to promote the new king.

As for framing those hundred households to suppress the town, it is even more selfish, with them, it is inevitable that they will have to share some credit when they regain the lost land and sweep the thieves' nest in the future, and their own credit will inevitably lose a lot of color, and these insiders are there, which also makes them have some scruples about moving their own means in the future, and this borrowing a knife to kill people is the best way to break into the king.

"It's just that in this battle, Mi Zhi will definitely be looted by thieves, and in the next battle, I have no money and food rewards to boost morale, how can this be good?" Zhang Xianling began to frown again, and the new king broke in.

The five thousand people chewed that is not a small amount, but at the end of the day, it was the same as silver and running water, and he really couldn't take out any more money and food, so he stretched out his hand to Yan'an? Don't even think about it, if you really dare to go, it will be no different from looking for death.

Qian Zan couldn't help laughing when he heard this, for himself this time, he had to help the old proprietor to get the new king.

"Why is Lord Qian laughing?"

"Lord County, don't worry about money and food, let's not say that I have already planned a batch of money for the adults outside, in fact, before the official went out of Yan'an, he had already raised a large amount of silver for the adults, as long as the adults did one thing, the silver would be obediently in hand.

Hearing this, Zhang Xianling suddenly got up and said tremblingly: "There is still such a thing? Lord Qian quickly said that he listened to the new king with the lower officials. ”

So, Qian Zanhua said something to become a new king.

But it turned out that when he was in Yan'an, Qian Zanhua had just been ordered out of the governor's yamen, and was about to take the governor's approval to the treasury to receive supplies, but he didn't want a voice behind him to shout that he was the new king.

"It's Master Qian who is walking ahead?"

Master Qian turned around in amazement, only to see a businessman with a fat body and a happy face rushing over from behind the governor Shi Lion, approaching and giving Master Qian a deep salute

When I looked closely, it was the son of the old lady Zhang of Zhangjiabao in this county, and it was this Yan'an giant Zhang Yuan who laughed apologetically at that time; "But it turned out to be Brother Zhang Shi, things have been complicated these days, and I forgot the old man for a while, don't blame the new king."

This Zhang Yuan Zhang Zhiguang is successful in doing business abroad, and the trading shops are all over the important places in this big city of Shanxi, every day into the gold, the family is huge, and it is sleek, and the government boss and the prince of Xi'an have collusion, it can be said that the hands and eyes are all over the sky, but it is not to be underestimated, to be honest, with this Zhang Yuan's traffic contacts, you can not put your own little county master in your eyes, but Zhang Yuan is sleek, and every New Year's festival will specially send people to bring gifts back to the county to walk around, there is no shortening of their own benefits, so they are busy stepping forward to help Zhang Yuanwai, The mouth is a new king who has been accused of crime again and again.

"How dare you, how dare you break into the new king." Zhang Yuanwai got up and asked in surprise after greeting Master Qian for a while; "I don't know if Master Qian is busy with things in the county, but how can he come to this city freely, but what is his business?"

"Speaking of annoyance, some time ago there was a big incident in our county, and I am not afraid that the world brother will know, there is a coalition called the non-muddy alliance to form a coalition of poles from all walks of life, to attack the county seat, you also know that our rice fat is a small number of soldiers, and there is no money, food and equipment, so I have no choice but to be sent by the county to come to the city to ask for troops, no, I saw the governor and got a palindrome, and I was about to go back to the post house to pack up things and prepare to go back to the new king." Speaking of this, he asked curiously, "Why is Brother Zhang here?" Did you also go to the governor's place? ”

Zhang Yuan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and the dead face that was originally smiling and smiling immediately became angry. Busy road; "The day before yesterday, I got a report from the country house, something happened at home, so I came early in the morning to ask to see the governor, but I don't want to meet Mr. here, but it is rare, I want to take care of Mr. in the family over the years, I am busy with affairs and can not thank you in person, my heart is very uneasy, it is better to be like this, I see that the day is already in the afternoon, Mr. is not in a hurry, give a thin noodle today, let's go to the restaurant to eat some wine and rice, we can chat while eating?"

Master Qian looked up at the sky, it was already afternoon, thinking that the officials of the treasury had already scattered in various Hualou wine shops, and he couldn't do anything, this reminder was really hungry, and he didn't push, so he agreed, and took Zhang Yuan's carriage to the largest restaurant in the city to come to Xinchuang Wang.

This restaurant is also Zhang Yuan's own business, of course, he arrived home, ordered good wine and food in the private room on the second floor, and between the dishes, Zhang Yuanwai took out a small box and held it in front of Qian Zan's picture and said humbly; "The little one has not returned to the countryside for a long time, and he must not mention his life, and he will see him today, it is an opportunity, some small gifts are not a tribute, I hope I don't dislike the new king."

Master Qian saw that he was busy and polite, and when he opened it, it was a jasper Bodhisattva statue, the carving was fine and simple, and it could really be called the best in the jasper piece.

The courtesy must be asked for by others, and the mouth is polite and just waiting for the other party to make a bid to come to the new king.

This Zhang Yuan has also been on the battlefield for a long time, and he knows how to be careful, so he doesn't mention his own affairs, but after the wine and food come up, he frequently raises his glass to persuade him, and when the wine has passed three rounds, the time has come, and he suddenly stopped the cup, got up and bowed, and cried and asked the old gentleman to avenge himself and hate the new king.
