Chapter 59 Sharpen the knife

Zhujiazhuang is another harvest and festive year. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The grain harvest in the fields of every household is good, and with the protection of fame, this tax is extremely low, and many households still have this private salt to share the profits. In the past few years, things have been getting better and better, there is fish and meat on the table, the women are dressed more decently, and the children are all rosy and well-nourished. I'm afraid that no rural village in Dajiang County can have such a situation.

It's just that Zhu Zhenguo knows in his heart that such a good day is too fragile to withstand a little wind and rain.

Zhu Wenguang and the two Wenyuan brothers are still studying hard every day, and they only look forward to winning in the autumn of the next year. Zhu Wenbin is busy, still thinking about last year's harvest surplus, and also planning how to buy the industry in a few years.

The old lady is still kind and kind, but her body is getting weaker and weaker, and she has been busy with Zhu Wenyuan for this family matter recently. Zhu Zhenguo's mother took Zhu Wenguang's wife, Zhu Wu, and was busy with her parents every day with a smile on her face.

Zhu Wenzhong went in and out every day with a serious face, and from time to time he transported tightly wrapped goods to an uninhabited courtyard in the village. Others don't know anything, and only a few people know that most of them are sharp weapons for killing people and setting fires. Recently, I have also found a lot of craftsmen to expand the small wharf of the sampan at Zhuangkou, and everyone is puzzled by it.

Zhu Zhenguo is the most leisurely, and he accompanies the old lady everywhere with nothing to do, and gets knives and guns with this partner. Of course, from time to time, I have a private meeting with Zhu Wenzhong for a while.

The time is already out of the fifteenth day of the first month. The taste of the harvest and festive year has slowly passed, and everything in Zhujiazhuang has returned to normal, and everything that should be done has begun to be done.

One evening, Zhu Wenzhong hurried home, got out of the carriage, didn't even visit his mother, and went straight to Zhu Zhenguo's wing with a cane.

"Second uncle, is there any news?" Zhu Zhenguo saw that the second uncle came in in such a hurry, and he already felt something, so he immediately stood up and said.

"Zhenguo closes the door." Zhu Wenzhong sat directly on the chair of the Taishi in the small hall and said.

Zhu Zhenguo already knew it in his heart, and took two steps to close the door.

"The goods have arrived at the wharf, there are 80,000 catties, the Tiger Head Gang is organizing river boats, I'm afraid it will take twenty river boats with dozens of materials to be enough, and I can't go in three or five days, Zhenguo, what do you want to do?" Zhu Wenzhong went straight to the point. The water-rich river is not wide compared to the big river, and most of the goods are transported by river boats within 100 materials. Entering the river, a boat of several hundred materials is not a problem. No matter how much money and food the Tiger Head Gang has, it will rise in less than ten years, and there will not be so many ships.

"How? The ships and goods were all robbed, and they went directly down the river to Zhujiazhuang. "Zhu Zhenguo is very greedy, and he saved a sum of money to buy a boat when the ship was robbed. You don't need a sail to go down the river, you just need to use a long pole to grasp the direction, and the three hundred miles of waterway, along the current, will arrive in a few hours.

"And what about this robbed ship?" Zhu Wenzhong was still thinking about the robbery, and he had to be more secretive.

"If you can use it, you will keep it, and if you can't use it, you will sell it in the downstream waterway, this time, the Tiger Head Gang Nanshan faction still doesn't know where we did it, where are there hundreds of knives and guns on this rich water surface to do this. It's just that we haven't torn our faces, but they think we won't dare. Zhu Zhenguo has already made up his mind to compete in his heart, instead of running away after robbery, and thinking that he can live in peace in the future.

"That's it, your second uncle and I are not people without bird gall." Zhu Wenzhong also knew that this was the only way to go, otherwise there would be no way to transport the 80,000 catties of salt back.

The two of them also knew in their hearts that even if the two sides fought in the future, Zhujiazhuang would not be afraid, because this Zhujiazhuang had martial arts that ordinary Jianghu people did not have, that is, archery. Dahua's 500-year-old folk ban on strong bows and crossbows, if it is not the elite of the real border army, there is no character who can shoot the strong bow accurately, or there is no inheritance of the method of practicing strong bows among the people.

"Second uncle, you and I will go separately to gather people, sooner rather than later, gather in the small courtyard where knives and guns are hoarded, and set off tonight." After Zhu Zhenguo finished speaking, the two didn't say much, and went out directly.

In less than two quarters of an hour, the small courtyard where Zhu Qiang had stored the goods before Zhuangzi was crowded, and there were more than a hundred people, but there were less than a few people who knew what to do tonight.

"You all know that you have something big to do lately, just tonight!" Zhu Wenzhong only said this loudly, and then ordered a few people to go to the house to carry things out.

Zhu Wenzhong whispered to Zhu Zhenguo beside him again: "The second uncle has a leg disease, you can't go this time, you lead the team, there is only one, you can't fight in person, if something is wrong, you must come back intact." ā€

"The second uncle can rest assured, the nephew knows, there will be no case, the second uncle has been waiting at the dock for a few days, and when he saw the ship coming, he immediately summoned the people in the village to unload the goods." Zhu Zhenguo is full of confidence in his heart. Knowing that there are hundreds of hard bows in the army and thousands of arrows in the alley carried out of this house, where there will be many dangers, this is also the reason why Zhu Wenzhong was worried but still let Zhu Zhenguo go in person.

They distributed their bows and arrows, brought with them the dry food they had prepared, tightened their long knives, and waited in the courtyard.

Zhu Wenzhong called the two brothers Zhu Qiang and Zhu Zhuang and ordered: "Da Qiang Zhuang, everything is under the command of Zhenguo this time, and it is necessary to protect the safety of Zhenguo." ā€

Zhu Qiang grinned and said: "Don't worry, eldest brother, I know the severity, but the young master has grown rapidly in recent years, I'm afraid it's not under me, it's just a few lake bandits, big brother doesn't need to worry." ā€

Zhu Wenzhong trusted Zhu Qiang and Zhu Zhuang the two brothers the most, and he also knew in his heart that his nephew's martial arts had made rapid progress since he was attacked by the Tiger Head Gang, and he was also a lot more relieved in his heart, so he nodded and stopped talking.

Zhu Zhenguo did not hesitate, and said to everyone: "Each of them must always be together according to the previous detachment, and they must not be separated." ā€

Everyone nodded yes, and Zhu Zhenguo took them to departure.

This time on the road, no carriage, not to mention horses, all on foot, not on the official road, only on the road, in front of the scout, there is a sweep in the back, when you meet the village will be bypassed, when you meet the mountain people will lurk, the whole process is silent, tired on the spot to rest, thirsty to drink the water in the water bladder, hungry to eat dry food.

Zhu Zhenguo's physical strength is excellent, but he has never worked so hard, but he has always been strong, and he knows that the stakes are very high.

After four days of walking along the river on this mountain trail, the scout in front sent a man to turn around and lead a few people to the front.

"Young master, five miles ahead of you will arrive at the dock of the Tiger Head Gang." I'm afraid this scout has taken this road no less than ten times, and he has always been an old soldier sent by Zhu Wenzhong to inquire about the news, and he is also one of the few people who know the truth of the matter.

"Tell them to go down, and everyone will go into the mountains and hide." Zhu Zhenguo said strongly to this.

All the people went into the mountains and forests, and hid themselves through the dense forests, eating, drinking, and repairing.

Zhu Zhenguo took Zhu Qiang and Zhu Zhuang and a few people with the scout and slowly touched the top of a low hill near the dock to look.
