Chapter 59: Resourcefulness and Courage
Iron-faced face Pei Xuan? Wu Yong's words are unintentional, but Du Jia's listeners are intentional, this Pei Xuan's impression is too deep, and he is also a character he likes very much, although in the original plot he only succumbed to the Earth Evil Star, and his ranking was only forty-seven, but his real ability was definitely more than this low.
First of all, he is one of the few middle-level officials in Liangshan who was born in the imperial court's 'public procuratorate' system, and has been the Confucius of the six cases of Jingzhao Mansion, in charge of the rewards and punishments of officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers.
The second is that he is upright, his "iron mask" title does not mean that he likes to wear an iron mask to protect himself, but refers to his six relatives who do things and do not recognize them, and the rewards and punishments are clear, so he is evil to the boss, in the original plot, he was assigned to Shamen Island, and was later rescued by Deng Fei and Meng Kang before he had no choice but to enter the gang, betrayed the court, but in the end, Liang Shan followed Song Jiang to fight in the north and south after being recruited, and he was also one of the few leaders who was still alive after the conquest of Fang La, but he was unwilling to accept the official position, and went back to drink Machuan with Yang Lin.
It can be seen that he is definitely a person with beliefs, principles and bottom lines, and he is unwilling to go with the flow and help the abuse, and it is very likely that it is for this reason that he is not treated by Song Jiang, and he was overwhelmed by the level of the earth, and he is not reused.
Not to mention that he himself also made a good double sword, and he was by no means a pure 'cultural, sports and entertainment character' such as Xiao Rang, Jin Dajian, Lehe, or he would not be the boss in Yinmachuan, such a character is definitely an important talent at the Tiangang level in Du Jia's heart, and the importance in his future vision is still above that of a person of Liu Tang's level.
Originally, according to the original plot, Pei Xuan was assigned to Salmon Island because he offended his boss, and was later rescued by Deng Fei and his gang, but he didn't expect that he was here now, and Du Jia's heart suddenly moved.
Wu Yong looked at Du Jia immediately after speaking, but saw that Du Jia seemed to be distracted, and he was quite suspicious in his heart, this time he had done enough work to show it in front of Du Jia, I thought that Du Jia would be very satisfied, but I didn't expect Du Jia to seem to be thinking about something, could it be that there are any loopholes in his strategy? He suddenly became a little nervous.
Du Jia quickly came back to his senses and smiled apologetically at Wu Yong: "I'm sorry, I just heard the name Pei Xuan and suddenly felt very familiar, which made Mr. laugh, what Mr. said is very true, this Yanping Governor's father-in-law's family must be taken, Pei Xuan also needs to be subdued, in addition, we have to do one thing, that is, sweep this Tangshan County!" ”
Wu Yong was surprised: "This, why is this?" Although this Tangshan County is not big, it is also a place of the imperial court, and if it violates them, it will be reported, and it doesn't seem to be good for the cottage. ”
Du Jia smiled faintly: "After all, Mr. is a scholar and has a compassionate heart, but now those dog officials have calculated on our heads, if we don't give them a little power, wouldn't our cottage be underestimated by the heroes of the rivers and lakes?" There are several reasons why I want to fight this Tangshan County.
First, after all, they arrested my parents and the villagers of Dujiazhuang, and I can't help but avenge this revenge; Second, there are only more than 100 native soldiers in the county, two of them are heads, and we have already killed one of them and dispersed half of the soldiers and horses, and the strength of this county can be said to be empty; Third, we swept down this Tangshan County just to kill chickens, dogs and monkeys, and let the guys in Yanping Mansion know how good we are.
Didn't they report it to the court? Well, it would be better if we alarmed the court, our bounty would be higher, and the court would pay more attention to it, and the more this happened, the safer my parents would be. ”
Others are still a little confused, but Wu Yong is so smart, he immediately understands what Du Jia means, it's like if it's just an ordinary bandit, the prefect and county order them to dispose of it at will, not to mention their families, but if it rises to the state level and even alarms the imperial court to become a prisoner, then the local government has no right to move without permission, and it must be escorted to the state or even the capital.
Du Jia's trick can be said to have grasped the problems of the imperial court's system, but it is also extremely bold, after all, no matter how much you rob the house, and even go to the government to 'borrow grain', the magistrates will definitely try their best to cover up for their own political achievements, so now although the world is already full of bandits, and there are many cottages, but most of them are only known by the magistrates themselves, in the eyes of the emperor and the court, the world is still peaceful, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.
But the meaning of sweeping away a county is completely different, even if the magistrate is bold, he will not dare to hide it anymore, even if they don't report those officials and imperial historians, they will appeal, so Liangshan will inevitably be on the blacklist of the imperial court, and the intensity of the blow to be faced in the future will be completely different.
So after Wu Yong sighed, his awe of Du Jia increased by three points, if Liu Tang was originally an outlaw to make this choice, it is normal, but Du Jia is from the same literati background as him, and his knowledge and resourcefulness are not below him, but he dares to make such a decision, it is really terrible, no wonder he just said that he is a scholar and compassionate, it is actually good to say, and if it is ugly, it is just Xiucai's pedantic opinion.
Seeing that Wu Yong had no objections, the rest of the leaders naturally had nothing to say, and at that moment Du Jia assigned the task, Liu Tang and Shi Jin took the original 100 people from the headquarters to Zhaozhuang, Du Jia and Lin Chong, Wu Yong and Jiao Ting took 500 men and horses to fight Tangshan County, and Bai Sheng led the rest of the intelligence personnel to be responsible for investigating and transmitting news.
Then the two sides immediately divided into two ways to advance, Shi Jin and Liu Tang under the leadership of the two little minions who did intelligence went straight to Zhao Zhuang, that place was only a few dozen miles away from here, and everyone arrived in less than an hour.
Come there and see that this Zhuangzi is not small, there are more than 200 households, only one of the large courtyards is five in and five out, the magnificence is incomparable, and at this time it is full of lights, gongs and drums are noisy, the crowd comes and goes, it is just like the New Year.
The little minion inquired about the intelligence and found out that today happened to be the seventieth birthday of this Zhao Yuanwai, that is, the old man of the prefect of Yanping Mansion, with his identity, of course, he has to do a big job, not to mention that the local people with a little face in ten miles and eight towns are coming, and even the local county lord has sent a master to bring a heavy gift, after all, the prefect is his top boss.
In addition, the minion also found out an unexpected surprise, that is, the prefect's wife also made a special trip from Yanping Mansion to pay her father's birthday, and her five brothers and sisters also came, so this place is so noisy, it is indeed more than the New Year's holiday.
Liu Tang grinned and said: "Shi Dalang, it seems that Jia Shao is really like a god, there are enough fish in this net, and it is not in vain that our brothers came to make a special trip." ”
Shi Jin also said happily: "Jia Shao is worthy of being a man of destiny, Hong Fu Qitian, this one old man is not enough, plus a wife and a number of brothers-in-law and brothers-in-law, it is expected that the prefect dog official is not so shocked, but we can't kill too much today, try to keep as much alive as possible." ”
