Chapter 249: Achieve a Small Goal First!

He Guan's son-in-law's surname is Zhang Mingcheng, and he is the son of Zhang Xian of the Western Army and the nephew of Zhang Da. He Guan had a close relationship with the Zhang brothers in the northwest, and Zhang Xian even fought and died in battle with Xixia from his command, so the two families had this family affair.

It's just that this Zhang Cheng is far from his father's bravery, the talent of the middle, he has been taken care of all these years, and now he is only in the Yamen of the Infantry Division. It's as if there is an old man who is a high-ranking official to support him, but he is unusable, and he is only a battalion after climbing for so many years.

Now that Lao Taishan has been demoted to Yongzhou, Zhang Cheng is bitter.

On this day, he was drinking at home when he heard a call for the door. Zhang Cheng didn't dare to stay in the room steadily, so he asked the servant to go out to answer, so he tidied up his clothes a little and greeted him out. I saw a man carrying a large box of burdens and asked, "Are you Zhang Ti's family here?" ”

Zhang Cheng looked this man up and down, but he was an ordinary Jingshi family, and he had the smell of a shareholder in the capital. replied: "No, it's Zhang Cheng." And the man kept coming in. Zhang Cheng asked, "Where did you call from?" ”

Na Han replied: "The villain was ordered by Li Guanren to teach me to come here." Zhang Cheng saw that the box was full of chickens, geese, fish, meat, fruits, wine and food, and was about to ask again, when he saw an unknown official come in and say to the man: "Just pick it in." ”

Zhang Cheng saw the salute and said: "What is the reason, I have never met, but I want the officials to send a banquet!" ”

The man said: "Xiao Ke Li Jin, a person from Minzhou, his father was an archer in the early years of Ying Xihuang, and he was able to enter the official career after several military exploits. This is all the kindness of the old parents. I just don't want the will of heaven to make people, so that Taiwei will suffer this catastrophe and be demoted to Yongzhou. Li Jin's words were simple and clear, he came to Tokyo City to do business. His family is also an official, and he can be regarded as having made a fortune, has assets, and has more outlets. Li Jin transported the specialties from the northwest to Tokyo, although the journey was harder, but he earned more. Previously, He Guan was proud of his career, but he was the dignified guard of the pro-army infantry division, the third person, the threshold was too high, and it was not something that he Li Jin could climb. But now that He Guan is in trouble, let alone clinging. Li Jin is here to comfort Zhang Cheng, not everyone has no conscience, in the future, if anyone is useful, he only needs to ask someone to go to his residence in Jingshi to say hello, and see if he dares to do his job?

The gifts that Li Jin held out with his relatives behind him, ten jars of fine wine, ten brocade colored silks, ten high-quality leathers, and ten ingots of bright and sparkling silver. The gift is not ordinarily heavy, at least for the current Zhang Cheng.

Zhang Cheng was very grateful to let Li Jin into the room, and after eating five or seven glasses of wine, he saw a few more men carrying a large box of drums and wine to the door, but this was for the people in Zhang Cheng's mansion to use. (I didn't write enough 3,000 words, but I didn't have time to write)

"Why don't you just ask the virtuous brother to break the banknotes!" Zhang Cheng was very embarrassed, and when he saw it, he was quite embarrassed.

Li Jin said: "What is this worth, I have a drink with Ti Ha today, and I don't think it's slight." ”

"How can I bear it." Zhang Cheng shirked on his face, but he enjoyed this kind of flattery very much in his heart. Since his old Taishan was demoted, Zhang Cheng's status in the city of Tokyo has plummeted. There is no He Guan standing behind him, he is a little mention, and he is a bird in the city of Tokyo? Now Li Jin's actions only made him 'fall in love' with him in an instant.

The only fly in the ointment is that this guy is still timid, not to invite himself to go to the Fan Lou to play, but in this house.

In winter, when it gets dark early, I light the lamps and candles, and drink and eat heartily. After drinking until the first shift of the weather, Zhang Cheng said: "I'm drunk, and the virtuous brother can save himself from preparing horses, so he will rest here." Li Jin responded. was supported by the servants of Zhang's Mansion to rest, but his spirit was still good, and it was the second watch to talk about it. Li Jin wanted to sleep, and said to the servant of the Zhang Mansion: "I still have a bottle of good wine here, which I should have kept for drinking, but I forgot it if I didn't want to eat it." It has been opened, and it will lose its alcohol if you stay for a long time, so please ask a few people to taste it first and give an evaluation. With that, as soon as he was in his entourage, he took out a porcelain gourd from a package, and only pulled the wine cork, and the room was filled with the smell of wine. When it is hot, I bring the wine cup and fill it, and I see that the wine is as clear as water, and it exudes a strong aroma of wine. Several servants of the Zhang family smiled happily, thinking that this wine was extraordinary, and drank it all up, and the spicy wine entered the mouth, like a fire dragon rushing straight to the henchmen.

This kind of distilled liquor is extremely rare in the city of Tokyo today. At least it is not a Chase commodity, and the Northern Song Dynasty implemented the liquor system, that is, the government monopoly. As early as the beginning of the Song Dynasty, Tian Xi's "Qu Ben Cao" recorded that "Siamese wine is re-fired with soju twice,...... Those who can drink will get drunk after three or four cups, and the value is dozens of times higher than usual." This is obviously distilled spirits. All of them have existed for at least 100 years, but this does not mean that there were commercialized distilled liquor sales in the Song Dynasty market.

Naturally, most of the servants of Zhangfu have seen the world, but few of them have been lucky enough to eat soju, and after drinking it, they even praised: "Good wine, it is really powerful, you must be drunk if you eat two more glasses." ”

But after saying this, no one has a reason to eat two bites.

After a while, Li Jin clapped his hands and shouted: "Pour, pour!" I saw those people, who were already salivating, and lying down crookedly. Li Jin laughed and said: "It's easy to make money, so let Zhang Cheng die here!" When he turned his head, he saw that his attendants had drawn their knives and were running to kill the servants. Li Jin hurriedly said, "Let's slow down and listen to me." Liang Shanbo has never harmed the innocent, these people are just slaves and servants in the Zhang family, what does the enemy of the Ling leader do to him? but they are not allowed to do anything. ”

This Li Jin is not Li Jin, but a servant from his hometown in Kansai after Yang Zhi joined Liangshanbo. He knows a lot about the location and people of Kansai, and it doesn't make Zhang Cheng suspicious. The attendants naturally agreed, and they all started together, and all the servants were tied up tightly. "Li Jin" made five more hemp walnuts, stuffed them in everyone's mouths, and tied them to the back of their heads with ropes to prevent them from spitting out. Then he took out a letter that had been prepared and placed it beside the servant. These people don't know anything about each other, like fiddling with dead bodies.

Zhang Cheng is just a minister, how much money can he put on?

He Guan suffered the sin, and had already ordered Zhang Cheng to release the slaves, be a low-key person in the future, do things steadily, and wait for him to make a comeback. It is because of this that these servants are idle in this house.

"Li Jin" and his entourage first went to the wall of Zhang's mansion to release a signal, and the crow cries immediately sounded outside, and Li Jin and his entourage responded, and Zhang San and a few people outside easily entered the courtyard. Look at that face, isn't it the man who originally carried a big box.

Without those few male servants in the way, Zhang San led everyone to easily control the entire Zhang Mansion. Zhang Cheng was born as a disciple of the sect, even if he was not skilled in martial arts, he could easily beat three or five strong men, but unfortunately he slept heavier than a dead pig. The daughter of the He general, but she didn't know anything about the sword and bow, and she was ready to die.

The maids and women in that house will not be killed, anyway, early tomorrow morning, "Li Jin" and others will all go out of Tokyo City.

But Zhang Cheng and his wife did not spare any of them. Who let He Guan harm Ling Zhenyi too miserably?
