343. Encirclement and suppression?
Everyone in Qifeng Village was busy, and Nangong Jin had long wanted to find a place to hide, but he didn't expect him to find an excuse. Because Li Mo came, the two were locked in the study and talked for an afternoon.
Nangong Jin didn't expect that Nangong Dingkang not only knew about *, but also found the source. And Li Mo's intention was to transfer hundreds of people from Jingzhou to destroy the source with him.
But Nangong Jin understands that Jingzhou Santang has slowly been on the right track, and everyone has long been thinking about making money and how to live a good life with his mind. At this time, he was suddenly asked to send someone here to do such a risky thing, not because those people were willing or not, but because he himself was unwilling, and he wanted a hundred people. However, we must not do it.
If you don't adjust Jingzhou, where else can you adjust? Li Mo didn't think that Nangong Jin would disagree, this was the focus of their discussion in the afternoon. However, no matter where the person is transferred, it is not up to the two of them to decide. Li Mo had no choice but to go back to Pingyang first.
What Nangong Jin didn't expect was that less than ten days later, Li Mo arrived at Qifengzhuang again, and there was a tall and burly old man with dark skin, with a resolute expression. Maybe it's not too old, but it looks older. Nangong Jin looked at him and thought to himself.
"Jiang Sinian, the subordinate master of Yanbei Hall, has seen the second son." Jiang Sinian's voice was loud and respectful.
Nangong Jin was taken aback, why is Yanbeitang here? By the way, I was temporarily in charge of the affairs of the four halls in the north before, but I just understood the situation, and I didn't care about anything. Before arriving at Tianchengwei, he only saw one of the four hall masters-the Yulin Liujin Hall. Of course, the most important thing is that everyone is not familiar with each other, and Nangong Jin can't see anything to manage.
After a few polite words, Li Mo seemed to see Nangong Jin's incomprehension, so he simply dumped Jiang Sinian to Zhao Fengming and Cheng Zhaofeng, and pulled Nangong Jin to the inner room to talk.
"It's not going to be for Yanbeitang to come out, right?" Nangong Jin closed the door and asked directly.
"You guessed it." Li Mo said with a smile.
Nangong Jin was even more puzzled, "You have someone, so you don't have to tell me about this." Although Chenzhou belongs to Huguang, I also said that Huguang's business was given to me, but it was just business, and I really didn't know anything except Jingzhou. ”
Li Mo shook his head, "I can't command Yanbei Hall." ”
"Isn't Hall Master Jiang here?" Nangong Jin asked rhetorically.
Li Mo smiled slightly, "Master said, you are in charge of the four halls in the north, and it is up to you whether Hall Master Jiang wants to use it here and how to use it, I just brought him to Jingzhou to see you." However, if the matter of Chenzhou is to be resolved, I can only ask you for help. ”
What do you mean? Nangong Jin laughed, no matter what he meant, he only had one sentence: "Okay, then I'll talk to Hall Master Jiang and let him help you with this." ”
Li Mo didn't know if he was intentional or unintentional, he sounded like he wanted to get rid of it, and said helplessly: "I mean, you will be the boss, General Nangong." ”
"Why?" When Li Mo said this, Nangong Jin was unwilling, but instantly felt that it was wrong, and asked with a frown: "Can't this matter be handled by the government?" ”
Li Mo didn't expect him to ask like this, shook his head and said, "No, there may be eyeliner in the official mansion." If it is not handled well, the scourge of * will never end. Of course, that's just an excuse. What I'm afraid of is that the village has evidence of contact with Nangong Mansion and lets the government deal with it, then it will really be a waste of rice.
Nangong Jin thought about it for a long time, and after listening to Li Mo's statement, she really felt that there were more elements of excuses, although she didn't know why the big boss had to bother with this. But if you have to do it yourself, it's not impossible, but it's a reason to seek a career for Sitang. Finally said, "You can live with Hall Master Jiang first." It's getting late, and I made an appointment with Master Pan today to talk about next year's sword dance. ”
**********
Of course, Nangong Jin didn't ask Master Pan to talk about any sword dance, and going to Jingzhou Mansion was nothing more than to see Zheng Shu. Master Pan was also used to it, thinking that it was probably the adult who fooled the second son to do things for him.
Nangong Jin told him all about Chenzhou, and Zheng Shu's eyes widened as if he didn't understand it all of a sudden, "You mean, the big boss of your family wants to send troops to destroy a village of more than 500 people in the Chenzhou Valley?" ”
Nangong Jin rolled her eyes, this was not the point at all, "According to the situation found at home, it should be the largest poppy cultivation area in the Central Plains at present." If those poisonous flowers are eradicated, the * of the Central Plains can be reduced by at least sixty percent. ”
"Does this have anything to do with your family?" Zheng Shu asked suspiciously.
"Of course it doesn't matter." Nangong Jin said angrily: "Aren't you still sending people to keep an eye on Fan's?" Now that I'm telling you about this source, what are you going to do with it? ”
It may be that this news is too sudden, so that Zheng Shu can't answer. Nangong Jin smiled and guided him: "I know that there are often mobs in the mountains around Chenzhou, and the imperial court has also suppressed them several times. Those who can grow such a large number of opium poppies cannot be good citizens. If it were me, I would definitely be armed to protect that flower field. ”
Zheng Shu followed his train of thought and nodded, "What you said is not bad. If this is the case, the imperial court's deployment of troops is not as good as your family's private soldiers in terms of time and morale. After a pause, he looked at Nangong Jin and asked with a little distrust: "But how do I know that in that valley in Chenzhou, there is really such a big flower field as you said?" ”
"If you are sure that you want me to help with this, then I will take this task at home and go to Chenzhou. If the message is correct, just eradicate it. If there is a lie, I will bring everyone back, as if it never happened. ”
Zheng Shu was entangled, and the way Nangong Jin said seemed to be not bad. If you wait for yourself to report and verify this news, and then wait for the imperial court to send troops, maybe it will be a year later, and it is estimated that the people in that village have already received the news and changed places. However, Nangong Jin is so enthusiastic, I'm afraid it won't be purposeless, "Do you want to talk about conditions?" ”
"Then you're underestimating me. Since this matter has been taken, it is natural to work hard for Daming Sheji. Nangong Jin looked righteous and awe-inspiring.
is used to seeing him pretending, so Zheng Shu didn't believe it at all.
Nangong Jin's tone changed: "But the four halls north of my house are private soldiers after all, and fighting Tartars on the border has to be acquiesced by the court." Now if I want to bring these people from the north to Chenzhou, I am afraid that the government will fight before the fight starts. Even if you don't get treated as a mob back and forth, if you kill everyone in one fell swoop, then it's no problem, and if you slip through the net, it's easy to be charged with rebellion. ”
"And what do you want to ......?" Zheng Shu vaguely thought of his purpose, but still wanted him to say it himself.
"I don't want to do anything, but now these four halls are nominally my responsibility. Besides, how did I get the name of General Wude, I haven't seen the silver, isn't it even convenient? ”
Zheng Shu was annoyed by him, and said bluntly: "Don't you just want to get an identity for your family's four halls." Raising his eyes to him, "But I don't count it." ”
Nangong Jin thought that he would say this, and said indifferently: "I didn't let you give anything at this time." In this way, I will take care of the affairs of Chenzhou for you. You make it convenient for you to let the prefect of Chenzhou participate and give the name of the imperial court. Those people are the recruits you recruited from the north, and I'll let them scatter in and out. The credit is all yours, and there should be nothing wrong with having a name. ”
"It's a nice thing to say, and it's not wrong." Zheng Shu glanced at him, "The recruits I recruited?" In case of defeat, it will be me who will cut first and then play. And so many people, scattered with arms? You want me to cut off my head! ”
"Okay, then say I recruited it. However, Boss Qian didn't give me the task of tracking down*. Otherwise, if you transfer this task to me, I will take care of it. Nangong Jin had a look of 'sticking a knife in the ribs for a friend'.
Zheng Shu pondered for a long time, and Nangong Jin urged: "Have you thought about it?" ”
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Zheng Shu suddenly thought: "Your people won't have arrived in Chenzhou, right?" ”
"Alas...... Nangong Jin sighed leisurely, changed his posture to sit more comfortably, picked up the teapot on the table and poured himself a glass of water, and said, "It may or may not have arrived." are all scattered in, who can tell such a long way. Besides, people who fight wars are inevitably tempered. I remember reading a report a long time ago, which seemed to say that the soldiers of Chenzhou Mansion couldn't even beat the villagers of a township. That's the problem, I'm still here, and there's no one to control their ....... ”
"Alright, alright." Zheng Shu glanced at him and interrupted him, "You go to Chenzhou." I'll report to Boss Qian and let you participate. Also, before the prefect of Chenzhou looks for you, you are not allowed to do it. ”
Nangong Jin smiled and said, "Yes, Lord Zheng." ”
**********
In the past two months, since he set off from Jingzhou with Nuo Min and Qiqige, Li Songran has begun to go around in circles. From Huguang, to Henan, and then to Shaanxi, it was not that he didn't receive a letter from Nangong Jin urging him to go back, but he just asked him to throw these two girls in an unfamiliar place, Li Songran really couldn't do it, and found countless excuses to delay it again and again.
However, eating and drinking every day, Qiqige held his stomach and began to worry, and if he ate again, his waist would be gone, right? But if you don't eat it, how is it possible? Li Songran's ordering is really first-class, there are very few things that are not delicious, and there are all kinds of small snacks, I really don't understand how a big man can know what girls like to eat? Forget it, go back and lose weight.
Qi Qige was holding a packet of sour plum candy and followed behind Li Songran and Nuo Min, when suddenly the woman next to him handed a red paper flower, "Miss, buy flowers." ”
He didn't even look at her, ready to bypass. The woman turned the paper flower over and stretched it out in front of her lattice, and the petals of the paper flower read 'Back to the Inn' in Mongolian script. Qiqige glanced at her, and the woman lowered her eyebrows as if nothing had happened, but repeated the sentence: "Miss, buy flowers." ”
Qi Qige still ignored it, ate a sour plum candy, and bypassed her.
It's just that after shopping on the street for half a stick of incense, he made a fuss about convenience, saying that the road was too dirty, so he had to go back to the inn. There was no way, Li Songran had to accompany them back first.
