Chapter 16 The depth of water in Qingzhou
"I think it may have something to do with Murong Zhizhou's brother-in-law!"
"Murong Zhizhou's brother-in-law?" Li Jing frowned, "Is Brother Shi talking about the deputy general of the Qingzhou Xiang Army?" ”
Shi Xiu replied, "It's him!"
"I'm a newcomer to Qingzhou, how did I offend him?"
"Brother Jing doesn't know, I have set up a pharmacy here, and I have a relationship with the black and white of Qingzhou City. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info vaguely knows that these bandits in Qingzhou have to send silver coins and utensils to the deputy general Liu Quan every once in a while! ”
Li Jing suddenly realized, "This Liu Quan is doing this, haven't those people in the official face found out?" Or intentional protection! ”
Shi Xiu said: "This Liu Quan's sister is the most favored concubine in Murong Yanda's mansion, this Liu Quan is a prankster who doesn't learn and has no skills, and he can only be in a high position by relying on Murong Yanda's promotion, who would dare to offend him as an ordinary person?"
Li Jing calmed down after the initial surprise, thought for a while and asked: "This Liu Quan alone can't affect my mansion, I want to come to Qingzhou civil officials also have his helpers!"
Shi Xiu nodded yes, but he didn't know much about it.
Subsequently, Li Jing asked Shi Xiu about the situation of bandits in the three mountains of Qingzhou, and Shi Xiu said:
"Among these three mountains, Li Zhong of Peach Blossom Mountain and Deng Long of Erlong Mountain are all good friends. But only Qingfeng Mountain is the worst, the three leaders of Qingfeng Mountain, Yan Shun, Wang Ying and Zheng Tianshou, do things ruthlessly on weekdays and leave little to live, but Qingfeng Mountain is also the strongest among the three mountains! There are as many as six or seven hundred minions! ”
Although Qingfeng Mountain is on the verge of a large section of official roads, many times only some ignorant pedestrians and business travelers pass by, and Qingfeng Mountain does not have enough income, so they hit the idea to the nearby landlords and wealthy households, but every time they choose it is without a background, and they never leave a living. Without the bitter master, the official naturally closed the case hastily, and no one went to report it! ”
Li Jing snorted angrily when he heard this: "The collusion of officials and bandits, it is difficult for this Qingzhou not to mess up!"
asked Shi Xiu again: "I saw that Qin Ming and Huang Xin were bright and upright men yesterday, what is the status of these two people in Qingzhou?"
"Brother Jing doesn't know, although this Qin Ming is the main general, how can he compete with Liu Quan, who is supported by Murong Yanda? I heard that Liu Quan is responsible for this monthly salary! ”
"And this Murong Zhizhou is not a fool, he naturally knows the ability of his brother-in-law, and Qin Ming can finally lead a battalion of troops. Although there are only 500 people, in my opinion, the combat power is enough to crush Liu Quan's Qingzhou army of 2,000 people! ”
……
Li Jinggong discussed with Shi Xiu for more than an hour, during which he informed Shi Xiu of the calculation of Lin Chong and Zhang Jiaotou, after all, Li Jing only wrote a letter to ask Shi Xiu to help settle it, and some words could not be elaborated in the letter.
Shi Xiu naturally sighed again when he heard this, which made Li Jing a little crying and laughing. If you say yes, you won't be called Engong! Brother Shi, people don't follow!
Later, Li Jing had lunch at Shi Xiu's place, and then left with Wang Hu, and when he left, Li Jing informed Shi Xiu of the address of the military camp and official residence, so that Shi Xiu could find him if he had something.
Shi Xiu went out to see each other, and was stopped by Li Jing in front of the pharmacy, looking at Li Jingyuan's back, Shi Xiu couldn't help but think of the heavy snow a year ago......
Shi Xiu is a native of Jinling, his parents died when he was a child, he was lonely and miserable, he bought firewood for a living when he was young, and later worked as a butcher. It's just because people are righteous and love to fight unevenly, so people love him and give him the name of "Desperate Saburo".
More than a year ago, Shi Xiu met a father and daughter, the daughter's name is Wan'er, the appearance is very lovely, and the temperament is gentle, the father and daughter were originally in a broken family to go to relatives, but helplessly on the road by thieves, all the money on their bodies was stolen.
Shi Xiu is a warm-hearted character, how can he watch it? But he was not rich himself, so he had to take the father and daughter in for a while, and prepare some money to give them.
After that, the development of the plot is also very cliché, Shi Xiu and Wan'er see each other every morning and evening, and there is a secret affection between the two, Wan'er's father appreciates Shi Xiu's personality, although Shi Xiu's family is broken, he doesn't care, but is happy to see it.
It's a pity that there are many good things, there is a powerful family in Jinling, the head of the family only has one son, named Zhou Yu, the family is very spoiled on weekdays, and after a long time, Zhou Yu has become a lawless gentleman.
One day, Zhou Yu was wandering around the city and accidentally saw Wan'er, he was nostalgic for the place of fireworks on weekdays, how could he ever see such a lovely person? With just one glance, Zhou Yu had a thought, he must get her!
The next plot is a bit coincidental, like Zhou Yu, there is never a shortage of dogs, these people saw Zhou Yu's thoughts, so they did what they liked, and helped Zhou Yu come up with ideas to design Wan'er, thinking that they would occupy Wan'er's body first, but this incident was discovered by someone who had received Shi Xiu's kindness and informed Shi Xiu.
On this day, Zhou Yu deceived Wan'er on the grounds that Wan'er's father was suddenly ill, and when she went to a secluded and uninhabited place, Wan'er was stunned, and Zhou Yu was about to do something wrong, but happened to be bumped into by Shi Xiu, who rushed to hear the news. It's worth it! Shi Xiu was very angry, and he didn't have a serious start, although Zhou Yu had someone to help him, but he was not Shi Xiu's opponent, this Zhou Yu was beaten half to death by Shi Xiu, and his descendants were abolished!
Shi Xiu also knew that he had caused trouble afterwards, but he did not regret it, and hurriedly sent Wan'er's father and daughter away, and promised Wan'er that she would look for her in the future, so Wan'er was willing to leave.
Shi Xiu himself stayed, for this disaster, Shi Xiu was unwilling to implicate Wan'er's father and daughter, knowing that the Zhou family was angry, he sent someone to look for him, so he retreated while fighting, and firmly attracted the attention of the Zhou family.
The head of the Zhou family can be said to be extremely angry, and his only precious son has become a eunuch! This is to make him the last one! Send someone to capture the murderer, and kill him immediately!
Although Shi Xiu was skilled, he was outnumbered after all, and fled all the way to the north after being injured. At that time, it was late winter, and it snowed unexpectedly, Shi Xiu was seriously injured, and his footsteps staggered all the way, and he gradually arrived at Kaifeng Mansion.
The weather was cold, but Shi Xiu knew that the pursuers were behind him, although the Zhou family did not report to the official because of their reputation, but these thugs were not something they could deal with.
Shi Xiu was injured, his mind became more and more dizzy, seeing that under the darkness of the heavy snow, there was a faint light in front of him, Shi Xiu couldn't care much in his heart, and struggled to walk over step by step.
On the same day, Li Jing went out on a business trip back to Beijing, encountered heavy snow on the way and went to the post station not far from Bianjing to rest, that night, Li Jingzheng and his subordinates were warming wine in the room, and suddenly heard someone knocking on the door, and when he opened the door, he was an embarrassed man, it was Shi Xiu!
Li Jing helped Shi Xiu into the house, and asked Shi Xiu what happened to him, and immediately protected Shi Xiu from being chased and killed.
After that, Shi Xiu wanted to follow Li Jing to repay his kindness, but was stopped by Li Jing, and gave Shi Xiu a lot of silver money, asking Shi Xiu to go to Qingzhou. This is because Shi Xiu only knew that Wan'er was going to Qingzhou, and Li Jing also wanted to be an adult, so that the two of them could get together, but unfortunately in the end, Shi Xiu did not find Wan'er in Qingzhou, and Shi Xiu, the address given by Wan'er's father, also went to find it, but no one lived, and after inquiring, he learned that the family had already moved away.
This sea of people is vast, where to find it? Shi Xiu had no choice but to use the money given by Li Jing to come to a pharmacy and write a letter to Li Jing, asking Li Jing to "come to him if he has something", and then settled down in Qingzhou.
