Chapter 54: Deterrence
According to the impression of people at this time, the salt administration inspection is a fat oil, so the profit naturally does not need to be mentioned.
However, for Wang Zheng, all this is a black eye, and the reason why Wang Zheng is fighting for this inspection is completely because he is short of money, and he doesn't know what to do when this battle comes.
After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't figure out a clue, and after the end, Wang Zheng first went back to the inn and slept beautifully, and followed Wu Weizhong and his party back to Wendeng camp early the next morning.
In the past few days since leaving, due to the efforts of Huang Yang, Dong Youyin, and Heizi, everything in the camp is as usual, and there is no chaos at all.
The next thing is to wait for the appointment, and this is in November.
In November, Jiaodong was already cold, the earth was covered with snowflakes, and even the Wuwen River was covered with not thin and thick ice, and I don't know how many homeless people and slender men would freeze to death and starve to death.
Ninghaizhou due to the appointment of the new official of Zhizhou, the officers and soldiers have been very strict recently, but it is only a symbolic random spot check to guide the road, and those who are unlucky will be arrested as thieves, and those who are lucky can follow the displaced people into the city.
On this day, the two guards stood in front of the main gate rubbing their hands, and the standard spears stood on the edge of the door, which seemed to be a little cold, and the two men were constantly stamping their feet.
"Duan Qian was always kicked in the brain by a donkey, and he wanted us to guard the door on such a cold day? Do you see a ghost on this road? ”
"Hey, it's not like people want to please Xinzhizhou and make a good impression."
"Phew, why does he want to please the new Zhizhou, why does he want us to be frozen?"
"There's no way, whoever calls someone is Shangguan."
"it..."
Since Zhang Yanwang, the inspection department, died under his bed for no reason, this salt ding has been divided into several shares, fighting with each other all day long, hurting the people of the state city, but it can make Duan Tiande very happy.
Originally, what Duan Tiande feared the most was the salt ding from all over the country who was strong and not afraid of death, once he launched a ruthless battle, his combat effectiveness was stronger than that of officers and soldiers, but now that this threat is gone, the state city has become Duan Tiande's monopoly.
As for the other generals, not to mention, the only three commanders in the state city, Duan Tiande has half of the officers and soldiers in his hands, Lu Kui controls half of the remaining officers and soldiers, but only Duan Tiande is the first to look forward, and the last remaining Dong Qianxiao has always been a good man, Han Dahu and Duan Tiande are not offended.
In this way, Duan Tiande is even more daring to be provoked.
Duan Tiande is known for treating his subordinates ruthlessly, he doesn't care about the thoughts and opinions of his subordinates, and if something goes wrong, he will be punished immediately, although no one dares to oppose him on the surface, but secretly he hates him.
Now that the news that the new inspector is Wendeng Wang Zheng has spread all over the state and outside the city, to be honest, including the officers and soldiers, many people are secretly looking forward to Wang Zheng's arrival.
After all, Wang Zheng's battle report of leading two hundred people to defeat nearly two thousand water bandits is really too shocking, which is more than all the officers and soldiers in the state city combined, and it should be able to suppress Duan Tiande.
"Someone seems to be in front of you..."
Suddenly, one of the generals in the city shouted loudly, and several officers and soldiers looked carefully, and sure enough, they saw a group of people getting closer and closer from the white horizon.
Many people were looking over there, and some people began to doubt that it was impossible for caravans and pedestrians to come and go at this time, it could be Wang Zheng's Wen Dengbing arrived.
Some people were afraid that the water bandits were coming again, so they were a little worried, and after discussing a few words, they simply closed the city gate and went to the gate first, and called several teams of officers and soldiers nearby to support the field, so that they could settle down.
It didn't take long for those people in the distance to arrive at the gate of the state city, and it was not dark at this time, and from the sun, the officers and soldiers in the city looked at the two hundred or so people, and they all gasped with a 'hiss'.
These people are rarely dressed neatly and distinctly, and the big red and yellow mandarin duck battle robes are brushed together, and the difference between them is that the left and right sides of these people's mandarin duck battle jackets are sewn with blue-black patches, it seems that it is really the Wendeng soldiers who defeated the water bandits that day Wang Zheng led to defeat the water bandits?
Each of them had a standard spear in his hand, but the tip of the spear seemed to be stained with something, red and black, and the dozen or so people who were the first to the head still had shiny steel knives hanging from their waists, and looking down from the city wall, these people stood there very neatly and vertically.
This momentum, this spirit, how can they be 108,000 miles away from them as officers and soldiers.
"The king of the salt administration in Ninghai Prefecture is vying to enter the city to take office, and it is not too late to take office, why did he put the city gate on so early? Hurry up and open the door, don't delay the big thing. ”
It was Dong Youyin who shouted this, his signature loud voice was very successful, even if the officers and soldiers were standing on the city wall, it was as if he was standing in his ear and shouting, they could all hear it clearly, and even the front was a little harsh.
More than 30 officers and soldiers in the city have been frightened by the two hundred people who suddenly came, and the lord Bo rushed over here when he heard the movement here, and at this time he happened to go to the city, and his legs immediately became weak after hearing Dong Youyin's shout.
Trembling on the female wall and showing his head, he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the people in the city, and turned his head to rush to the general lesson of the gatekeeper.
"It turned out that Lord Wang of the Inspector was in office, and the miscellaneous people still didn't open the door, and they delayed the salt class, and a few heads were enough to cut off."
The man who was always patient and laughed, there was no way, the master of the family couldn't afford to provoke us, and as soon as he turned around, he sprinkled his temper on the rest of the officers and soldiers.
These officers and soldiers are also jumping for a while, scolding and scolding to open the door, damn, not only can we not afford to provoke the master, even the little boss can't be provoked, the new patrol outside the city is a big man for them, in addition to honestly and carefully serving, what else can be done.
The news of the new inspector Wang Zheng's appointment spread quickly, and when the door opened, the main Bo was no longer here, his grade was not lower than Wang Zheng's nine-grade inspection, and the two parties did not have much intersection on weekdays, so they were naturally too lazy to compliment each other.
That one is always different, standing in front and waiting, seeing the two hundred or so family members who entered the city behind Wang Zheng, their throats were itchy, and they didn't know what to say.
"Lord Wang is finally here, and it's hard to ask the next few to wait."
Suddenly, a neutral voice came, Wang Zheng turned his head to look, it turned out that Dong Qianxiao and Hao Sicheng came with several generals and merchants from the state city.
But how did these people come so quickly?
"Wang Mou came more abruptly, without informing you in advance, I always feel a little sorry in my heart."
"The inspection is polite, can the road be peaceful?" Dong Qianxiao asked.
Wang Zheng sighed and said: "Alas, where can it be called peace, I have encountered three thieves along the way, and I don't know which side of the salt pole it is, and there will be almost two hundred people when added together." ”
Dong Qianxiao didn't mean anything surprised, and asked with interest: "Then it seems that Lord Wang repelled these thieves one by one, what about the casualties?" ”
"Dong Qian is always joking with him, dealing with more than two hundred crooked melons and cracked dates, how can there be casualties in the Wendeng battalion."
Wang Zheng had a smile on his face, and walked over directly after speaking, leaving Dong Qianxiao and his party with a back.
Hearing this, Hao Sicheng, who was round and round, choked directly before he could say anything, and he couldn't say it anymore, and after glancing at Dong Qianxiao, he also opened his mouth wide.
There were no casualties in the battle against the 200th salt pole, and this cowhide was blown to the sky, right?
