Chapter 2: The Purple Horse (Seven Ups)

Contrary to Tang Zuwang's expectations, with the tacit cooperation of both parties, his Juluze and his party went surprisingly smoothly. Not only did he not encounter any trouble on the road, but when he met Zhang Jincheng, the other party's intimidation and coercion tactics were basically expected by Wei Zheng in advance.

Zhang Jin said that the messenger's composure was also strange. Even if he was as brave as Cheng Mingzhen, he was so frightened that his face turned pale when he walked into his military tent two years ago. Tang Zuwang is just a bookkeeper, he is neither skilled in martial arts, nor has he experienced any big scenes, but he can calmly answer all questions, which is obviously a little too calm.

Unwilling to let the other party easily fool through, and did not want to fall into the prestige of Juluze, after accepting Wei Zheng's handwritten letter, Zhang Jin said that he did not immediately arrange for someone to lead Tang Zuwang to rest, but ordered him to sit down and drink tea to moisten his throat first. Then he casually chatted a few words about the customs and customs of Wuyang County, and after the other party's guard was put down, he suddenly laughed a few times dryly, and asked ingeniously, "Since you are so familiar with Brother Bao, the news he sent to Zeli before was provided to him by you?" ”

"This, this, why did the king ask about this?" Tang Zuwang asked rhetorically with a glare. How to answer similar questions, Wei Zheng didn't expect it in advance, and he didn't prepare an answer for him.

Zhang Jin said that he smiled silently, and the other village owners were stunned for a moment, and then immediately smiled and leaned back.

The incident happened suddenly, Tang Zuwang couldn't help but show his timidity, he made a few snorts, and added curtly, "The king is right, the information that Brother Bao sent you in advance was indeed sold to him in small amounts. The little one has been poor since he was a child, and even if he enters the county guard yamen, he still doesn't have much ambition......"

"I'm not joking at you. Your message is very timely, and I always want to thank you! Zhang Jin said that he was in a happy mood, and he couldn't wait to go outside the military tent and shout loudly, so that everyone could come and see how he was like a god. I think it's weird, since you are willing to sell the news to Brother Bao, you must also know my Lao Zhang's hobbies. Why did he suddenly become bold, and he dared to run to the mountains to deliver letters! ”

His hobby is to eat people and livers raw, which is known to everyone throughout Hebei. Tang Zuwang was so frightened that half of the tea in his hand was splashed into his arms, but the other half was held stiffly in his hand, trembling, while stalking his neck and shouting: "Two, the two countries are fighting, no, don't cut it." Besides, Brother Bao is still in Guixiang City right now, how the big boss treats me, Master Wei naturally treats him. If both of us die, no one will dare to come forward to help usher in any deal we want to make in the future! ”

"Huangya Bao doesn't do things secretly, he deserves to die!" Zhang Jin said that he laughed and talked about murder, but there was no compassion on his face, "Since you guys have accepted my Lao Zhang's money, you shouldn't do things for the government." Since you are working for the government, you shouldn't take my money from Lao Zhang. I want to take advantage of the cheapness at both ends, and Lao Tzu is the most annoying thing about this kind of guy! Come on, tie him to the outer pillar, wash him first, and then open his stomach! ”

When several guards heard this, they immediately rushed in, grabbed Tang Zuwang's arm and dragged him out. Tang Zuwang was so frightened that he didn't know where he flew, his legs rubbed the ground tightly, and he screamed, "The king, the king can't!" The two countries are fighting each other, and they will not be killed! The two countries are fighting each other, and they will not be killed! ”

"It's a knife sooner or later, don't be a mother-in-law!" The pro-soldier team Zheng Yu Yong struck the back of Tang Zuwang's head with the hilt of his knife and reprimanded loudly.

Tang Zuwang was in pain, and immediately didn't dare to scream anymore, looked back at Yu Yong, and begged pitifully, "This, this, this big brother, for a while, for a while, please hurry up." Stab me to death first, and then dig out my heart? ”

"Don't worry, I won't let you see your own intestines!" Yu Yong was angry and funny, pursed his mouth and agreed.

Everyone in the guards knew that Zhang Jin said that he must be scaring people, so he didn't drag Tang Zuwang to go too fast. Kankan arrived at the door of the military tent, and sure enough, the voice of the second boss Xue Song came from behind, "The big boss is angry for the time being." Although this kid is not authentic, he has also contributed to the establishment of our country. really killed him like this, but it seems that we don't miss the old love! ”

"Hmm!" Zhang Jin said that he rubbed his chin and sang and harmonized with the second master Xue Song, "You are right, kill him and spread it, people outside don't know that he is a second or fifth boy, but it has ruined our reputation." Push him back for me, Lao Tzu still has something to ask him! ”

"Yes!" Yu Yong and the others shouted, dragging the frightened and paralyzed Tang Zuwang back to the Chinese military tent again. Zhang Jin ordered someone to press Tang Zuwang on the stool and sit firmly, and then asked with a sneer: "Say, I'll give you another chance." You don't look like a responsible person at first glance, how dare you dare to come down? ”

"Yes, it's Wei, Wei Changshi forced the little one to come!" Tang Zuwang wiped his snot and tears with his hand, and replied with a crying voice. "I said no, he forced me to come. And said you won't kill me, maybe you'll give me some money! The king spares me this time, spares me this time! Next time, next time I won't dare again! ”

"Do you want to have a next time?" Zhang Jincheng asked with a smile.

"That's it!" Tang Zuwang wiped his snot again and replied stiffly, "Wei Changshi said, Wei Changshi said that if Wei Changshi said such a big matter, the two sides must discuss it." If you don't succeed once, you can run it twice, in short, you can do it if you have contacts and dealings! ”

In a word, it amused everyone again. The officials of Wuyang County who dared to love each other did it as a deal, so they sent such a living treasure who could not be put on the table. But strictly speaking, there is nothing wrong with this analogy. Is it buying and selling? Officials sell dignity and buy back peace. Julu Ze collects money and food, and sells the promise of no more invasion. God is fair, no one has lost anyone!

Hearing the laughter around him, Tang Zuwang felt a little relieved, and muttered while wiping the sweat like a waterfall, "Anyway, anyway, the king, if the king eats a small one, this, this deal will be smashed!" ”

"Then it's up to you to see if you can do something. If I can do it, I won't eat your heart and liver! Zhang Jincheng waved his hand and said with a smile.

"The king, what does the king want me to do?" Tang Zuwang looked up, his face full of panic.

"There are some things I want to ask you carefully!" Zhang Jincheng put away his smile and continued to interrogate. "You have to think about the answer, you got yourself in trouble, but don't say I'm unreasonable."

"Alas, alas! I must, definitely! Tang Zuwang nodded like a chicken pecking at broken rice.

In fact, Zhang Jin said that there was not much to ask. Most of the situation in Wuyang County has already been explored very clearly by the detailed work under his command. And some of the top secrets are far from being understood by a small official like Tang Zuwang. It took more than half an hour to go around the bend, but it only played a role in confirming it. At the end of the question, it seemed that there was really nothing useful to come out, Zhang Jincheng stretched with a smile and shouted outside the tent, "Someone is coming, ......

"The king spares his life!" Tang Zuwang was immediately so frightened that he fell off the stool again, leaned on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

"I won't kill you!" Zhang Jincheng pursed his lips contemptuously, "Come on, take him down to rest." Second master, you give him a silver ingot for me, so that he can be shocked! ”

The second master, Xue Song, got up with a smile and took the silver ingot that had been prepared from the hands of the soldiers behind him. It is a large piece, weighing five taels, and it is still marked with the steel seal of the government. Silver ingots like this are extremely rare on the market, and if you send them to a pawnshop, you can exchange them for at least 8,000 pieces of meat.

Tang Zu saw the silver, and instantly forgot his fear. With a salivating face, he shook it up again and again, "Xie Da is in charge, Xie Da is in charge." If you need someone to send a letter here in the future, the small one must take the initiative to ask for help! ”

"Get down!" Zhang Jin called a false kick and scolded with a smile.

After rejecting the messenger, the leaders unfolded Wei Zheng's letter, carefully considering the contents of the letter, and discussing how to reply. For Wuyang County, which has been wiped out by Wang Ermao, everyone doesn't pay much attention to it. Especially after seeing Tang Zuwang being scared like a lame rabbit, he felt a little contemptuous.

。 "There is no one in Wuyang County, and such a waste was actually sent!" Lu Fangyuan, the eighth master, had a rare opportunity to perform, standing beside Hao Laodao, the fifth master, and discussing with a smile.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple!" The second master, Xue Song, has always been serious, and when he heard Lu Fangyuan's words, he turned his head sideways and responded. Several other masters, hall masters, and incense masters were inexplicable, and they all turned their heads to Xue Song, waiting to hear his further explanation. The second master, Xue Song, smiled and reminded in a low voice: "Didn't everyone find out? Although this surnamed Tang is a waste, it is just a waste use. No matter how scared we are, we can't get anything more out of his mouth! And if you change someone else, you may not dare to come to deliver the letter in the first place! Is this the second? If he knows more, he will be cleaned up by us, but it will be bad for Wuyang County! ”

Everyone pondered it, and it was really like this. Tang Zuwang is an outcast to Wuyang County, and it will be useless if the letter is delivered. As for how Zhang Da is in charge of him, Wei Zheng doesn't need to think about it at all.

"It's true, who does what work!" Zhang Jincheng pursed his lips and said stupidly. "I've heard a story about a man who is going to a country. The king of the other party thought he looked ugly, and he said that he was useful for the envoy and useful for the country, and he was the most useless......"

The story of Yan Zi making Chu will become such a taste from Zhang Da's mouth. When all the heroes heard this, they all consciously lost face, looked at each other, and discussed in a low voice: "This surnamed Wei is too good at burying people!" We can't let him go! ”

"I'm afraid the surname Wei doesn't have much sincerity!"

"Deliberately like the last time the nine masters were down, first stabilize us, and then ......" Someone remembered the old things outside the city of Guantao, and interjected with a smile.

Suddenly, there was silence in the entire military tent. Everyone's eyes quickly looked in the direction of speaking, but they found that the hall masters and incense masters looked at each other, and they all turned their heads to others, and everyone pretended that they had never spoken.
