Chapter 2 Xigu ( 2 I )

As for persuading Zhang Jin to do less killing, Cheng Mingzhen was not very sure. Like his mother, he didn't believe that Zhang Jin said that he came to attack the city because he valued himself. At the same time, he also did not believe that Zhang Jin claimed that the reason why the soldiers attacked Guantao was because of the influence of the cuckoo. Although he was moved by the cuckoo's affection for him, Julu Zezhong's personal experience told him that Zhang Jin said that he was definitely not a person who cared about affection and would talk to you about friendship. On the contrary, Zhang Da Dang, who has a bad reputation for stopping children from crying at night, is very calm, very sober, and very good at creating and taking advantage of opportunities. He is like a poisonous snake lying in the grass, ready to burst out at any moment and deliver a fatal blow to his opponent.

first let the eight masters Liu Zhaoan connect underneath, and then use the opportunity of counterinsurgency to uproot the forces opposing him in Julu Zezhong. In the whole process, not only did he take advantage of Liu Zhaoan's arrogance and Yang Gongqing's carelessness, but he even calculated Hao Laodao's loyalty and Du Juan's recklessness. Together with Cheng Mingzhen, an outsider who had just arrived, he was not left behind, and the whole farce of the competition was completely a step in Zhang Jin's plan to eradicate dissidents!

Cheng Mingzhen is reluctant to deal with such a person. And now, he has to deal with such people. After carefully considering the reasons why Zhang Jin said to come to the museum, he felt that it was actually nothing more than the following three. First, the civil strife in Juluze had just ended, and Zhang Jin said that he urgently needed a victory to stabilize his army's morale. And Guantao County, which disbanded most of the townships, is precisely the easiest target. Second, although the villagers dared not speak out about their unjust imprisonment, the actions of Lin Xianling and others were enough to chill the brothers. And Zhang Jin said that it was the opportunity that Xiangyong of Guantao County was unwilling to work for Lin County, so he came in a big way. Third, Wang Ermao, who was familiar with the situation of Guantao and had a certain influence among the villagers, was in a hurry to go to the doctor and threw himself into Julu Zezhong. With him as an internal response, Zhang Jin said that the probability of breaking through the pavilion pottery is almost nine out of ten. If this kind of good opportunity falling from the sky is not grasped, Zhang Jin said that he will not become the big boss of Julu Ze and the gangs!

No matter which of the above situations is true, it doesn't seem to have much to do with Cheng Mingzhen. In other words, at the moment, it is he Cheng Mingzhen who owes the favor to the group of bandits, not the group of gangsters who ask for him. Therefore, for Zhang Jincheng, his advice is between listening and not listening. adopted, it is equivalent to giving another point on the basis of the original favor; Failure to adopt it will help to boost the morale of the brothers. According to Cheng Mingzhen's observation in Juluze, the rogues from the owner of the village to the ordinary minions did not have a fixed salary, and most of their income came from robbery. The killing, **, and plundering after the city was broken were equivalent to a disguised reward for the brothers. If a certain amount of casualties had been paid but the brothers had not been allowed to indulge themselves after the city was broken, the leaders and minions would have complained, and the already unstable position of the Zhang Da family would be in jeopardy.

After thinking about it for a while, Cheng Mingzhen still didn't have half a chance that he would be able to convince Zhang Da to be in charge. Cheng Zhu saw that his son's face was solemn and didn't want to disturb him, so he silently walked to the kitchen to arrange for the two little girls to prepare breakfast. A moment later, when the hot porridge and naan were served on the table, Cheng Zhu gently tapped the rice bowl with chopsticks, signaling his son to eat first and then think of ideas.

There are no outsiders in this family, and the two little maids bought are all looked at by Cheng Zhu's juniors, who don't pay much attention to the humility of the upper and lower levels, and squeak like magpies in winter. But since they met Cheng Mingzhen, they are like mice seeing cats, always looking for various opportunities to escape from each other's eyes. Cheng Zhushi looked funny, knocked on the rice bowl again, pursed his lips and asked, "What are you two hiding?" He's not an outsider. The lawsuit a few days ago was an unjust case, didn't the county magistrate already acquit him yesterday? Why are you so afraid of him? ”

"I, I forgot to put out the fire in the stove!" The maidservant girl named Tangerine secretly looked at Cheng Mingzhen's dirty and messy long, and muttered in response, "Old lady, don't get me wrong, I'll go and put out the fire first, and I'll come over to serve you and the young master when the fire is out!" ”

"Why, I'll go get some charcoal for the brazier!" Squatted slightly, and the maid Liu Ye also made an excuse to prepare to slip away. The county order did return Young Master Cheng's innocence. But Young Master Cheng is Zhang Jin's brother. The gold name is said to be born with green fangs and serrated red, and it eats three living hearts and livers a day. Cheng Mingzhen became this person's sworn brother, who knows if he has the habit of eating living people? Although the little maids respect the old lady, they are unwilling to wait for Cheng Mingzhen to be used as an appetizer!

Cheng Zhu changed his mind a little and immediately guessed the true thoughts of the two little maids. I didn't feel a little annoyed, and I threw my chopsticks on the table and was about to scold. When Cheng Mingzhen saw this scene, he hurriedly blocked his mother's sight with his body, "Dinner, we haven't had an Ansheng meal together for a while." Let them do whatever they need to do. In the future, when you are familiar with it, you will naturally not be restrained! ”

"Listen, don't have no conscience!" Cheng Zhushi glanced sideways at the two little maids who were so frightened that they almost cried, and scolded in a low voice. Not wanting the other party to stay by her side and continue to spoil the fun, she waved her hand and allowed the two little maids to retreat on their own. Then he glanced at his son lovingly, and whispered, "Don't go to your heart." They also listened to some gossip before they were afraid of you. Anyway, the two of us have a clear conscience, and others like to chew their tongues, let them chew it! ”

"In the prison, I've seen it! Don't overthink it. Eat, eat! Cheng Mingzhen smiled at his mother and reached out to grab the naan. No matter how many delicacies you eat outside, your own rice porridge and white naan are always cordial. Before he could swallow a mouthful of rice down his throat, a shout suddenly came from his ear, "Is Little Brother Jiu back?" You guys get out of my way, don't get in my way. I came to Brother Xiaojiu's house, and I never needed to say hello! The fragrant porridge tasted like it was boiled by the eldest lady herself, and it ...... for a while."

Before the words fell, a familiar figure had already swept in with a chill. He sat down on the stool next to the table and continued to shout, "Oops, I'm tired." Auntie, I'll take a bite too. Please have someone serve me a bowl of porridge too! ”

No need to ask, even if this person turns into ashes, Cheng Mingzhen can tell it. When he was in prison, as soon as he thought that he might be betrayed by this person, Cheng Mingzhen hated it so much. But now, when he looked at Wang Ermao, there was only emotion and guilt in his eyes. The good friend had lost weight significantly, and his knife-like face was covered with soot. I have never been in prison, but my head is messier than that of a prisoner in prison. At the scorched and scorched tips, there are a few grass residues hanging here and there.

"You, you weren't stupid by the guy surnamed Lin!" Wang Ermao was uncomfortable by Cheng Mingzhen, and asked while swallowing the naan. If you don't pay attention for a while, the naan is stuck in your throat. I was coughing desperately, and my nose was dripping with snot.

"Slow down, slow down, Liu Ye'er, don't pour a bowl of water yet!" Cheng Zhu panicked, patted Wang Ermao's back on the back, and ordered loudly outside.

"No, no, ahem, ahem. Whoa, choke me! Wang Ermao waved his hand and smiled to indicate that he was fine. This is enough for my mother's steamed buns to bully me. Don't be careful, auntie, I'm not scolding you. I seem to have a lot of ideas lately, and I can't live anywhere! ”

"I think no matter where you go, you will make a mess of your life!" Cheng Mingzhen pouted with a smile, stretched out his hand and patted Wang Ermao five inches below the back of his neck, and successfully helped the other party solve the trouble. "Sit down and eat slowly, no one will rob you. You are also a hall master now, and you don't sit or stand anymore, so be careful that you can't convince the public! ”

"In front of them, uh-huh!" Wang Ermao straightened his chest and pulled his back, posing as a boss of the rivers and lakes, "Anyway, we have also been a head catcher for half a year, we have never eaten mutton, and we have never seen a sheep run?" ”

This made everyone laugh dumbly, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became lively. Cheng Zhu was grateful to Wang Ermao for his help to his family, and added food to Ermao like his own son. Wang Ermao was not polite, like a whirlwind, he killed three naan and two bowls of rice porridge in an instant. Then comfortably patted and patted the belly, "Full, finally full." The eldest lady makes things, and it tastes comfortable. I'll go home and say hello first, and then I'll come back. Brother Xiao Jiu ate slowly, the entire county has basically been taken down by the people of Juluze, and the houses of several large households are also surrounded by brothers, at most for two more nights, to ensure that it can be broken! Zhang Dadang's family lived in the county yamen, and he said that if he had time in the morning, he asked the two of us to go to see him together. A lot of things, he wants to discuss with you slowly! ”

Why did Zhang Jin suddenly become polite? Cheng Mingzhen's face was full of suspicion. Wang Ermao has never liked to observe other people's faces, patted his belly, and swaggered out. After a few breaths, his strange voice that had just begun to change his voice sounded in the courtyard next door, "There are so many beautiful girls, which one of you grabbed it!" Hide it, hide it, don't ...... What ......"

Cheng Mingzhen shook his head and smiled bitterly, and couldn't help but start to envy his good friend's ease. When you catch the head, you will be the head catcher, and when you are a rogue, you will be a rogue, and you will not be embarrassed at all because of the drastic change in your identity.

Maybe in the face of the problem of survival, many things, including right and wrong, good and evil, have to be far behind, right?

Thinking like this, his expression began to become solemn again. Two starlights flashed faintly in his eyes, little by little, slowly brightening.
