Chapter 89: Hiding from each other
In the northwest of Lanxi County, in the cottage of Juzheng, the depressing atmosphere makes people breathless. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Big brother, what happened to make you worry like this." Hu Xu, who was straightforward and couldn't hide things, asked.
"The brother who went to Lin'an City to inquire about the news is back." Ju Zheng said with a frown.
"I'll just say, those rumors are all false, and you still don't believe it, big brother." Hu Xu looked at Ju Zheng, who frowned. "In the court, how can there be people who think about us people......"
Before Hu Xu finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ju Zheng. "Sixth, on the contrary, this rumor is true. That King Pingnan did save the refugees who fled to Lin'an because of the war in the north, and before rescuing the refugees, he also killed a bully in Lin'an City. ”
"So, that King Pingnan is really a good prince?" Hu Xu scratched his head and said suspiciously.
"What good prince, will the good prince come to attack us?" Shi Fei snorted lightly and said disdainfully.
"Fourth brother is right." This time he spoke a quiet outcry.
"This can't be blamed on the king of Pingnan, it is said that he was ordered to go south, so he must have suffered as well." Ju Zheng sighed, looking quite helpless.
"Big brother, what's wrong with you? Why do you always speak for that King of Pingnan? Shi Fei stood up, looking quite excited.
"You can't blame the eldest brother for this, the eldest brother never unjustly kills a good person, this King of Pingnan has not done anything bad, and it is difficult for the eldest brother to let the eldest brother take action." Seeing this, Wu Yashi spoke. "Moreover, I think things are far from being as simple as they seem, and this King Pingnan should have another deep meaning when he goes south."
"Oh?" As soon as he heard this, Ju Zheng also became a little more curious. "Second brother, what is the meaning of it, let's hear it."
Wu Yashi shook the paper fan lightly, and did not rush to answer, but looked at Molda. "Third child, tell me what you know."
Molda is a Hu man, has been in business for generations, this time he came to the Central Plains to sell goods, he never thought that the Jin soldiers went south, and the goods were looted, if he hadn't appeared at the last moment, his life would have been gone.
has no relatives, and Ju Zheng has a life-saving grace for him, so Molda follows Ju Zheng all the way south. In the end, in this cottage, he sat in the position of the third master.
Because Molda is a merchant, all the income and expenditure in the cottage are under his management.
Juzheng only kills corrupt officials and wicked people, and in the short term, he can still maintain the daily expenses of the cottage by relying on the robbed finances, but after a long time, corrupt officials and wicked people have taken a detour, and they have not seen a person for ten days and a half months, and the cottage has no income, and the daily expenses are stretched.
In this case, Molda suggested to Juzheng - to make money in business. After that, Molda bought in the south and sold in the north, and transported goods from the east to the west, relying on a keen sense of smell and single-handedly, the economic situation of the cottage improved.
Merchants traveled from north to south, coming into contact with all kinds of people, from high-ranking officials to ordinary people. From these people, through casual conversations, many things can be learned. The subordinate sent out by Ju Zheng to inquire about the news was one of the merchants cultivated by Molda.
With these outstretched tentacles, Juzheng is well aware of the development trends of various forces around him. It is precisely because of this that the mob led by Ju Zheng was able to repel the encirclement and suppression of the officials and troops again and again and stand tall.
Seeing that Wu Yashi asked him, Molda thought for a moment before he said. "I wonder what kind of news the second brother wants to know?"
Wu Yashi was very speechless, Molda is good at everything, but he seems to be careful in what he does, for fear of making a mistake.
"Third child, let's talk about that King Pingnan."
"About King Pingnan, the eldest brother has already said it, I have nothing to add." Molda said lightly.
"What about the army led by King Pingnan?" Wu Yashi was helpless, so he had to ask.
"Six hundred old and weak soldiers."
"What about the generals?"
"A pioneer who has been a nine-rank officer for decades, and two hairy boys with no combat experience, a scout who used to be a captain, and a woman."
After saying this, Molda's face suddenly became gloomy.
"What's the matter, third child!" Ju Zheng asked.
"Big brother, yesterday King Pingnan led his troops to ax county, according to his subordinates, I don't know what happened there, and the sound of shells rang all night." Molda frowned.
"The sound of shells all night? How is this possible? Hu Xu looked stunned.
"According to the information we got before, the emperor and the king of Pingnan are contradictory, and the king of Pingnan is sent south, just to let him and the mob lose both, and the emperor will profit from it, according to this speculation, how can the emperor give the king of Pingnan so many shells?" Wu Yashi fanned the paper fan twice as often.
"That's a real problem!" Juzheng is also puzzled.
"Big brother, second brother, there are even more difficult to understand." Molda scratched her head. "According to the soldiers who surveyed, they fired these shells without any threat."
"There was no threat, so I fired shells all night. What exactly is this for? Wu Yashi was stunned.
"Third brother, hurry up and let your subordinates check what that King Pingnan has experienced in the recent period." Ju Zheng thought for a moment and gave an order.
"Yes, big brother, I'll let people focus on this matter." Molda said respectfully.
"If they have so many shells in their hands, then we can't easily go to war with them." Juzheng, who had not planned to fight Zhao Shuo, found a more suitable reason at this moment.
"So what are we going to do? Eldest brother! Hu Xu asked everyone's doubts.
"Send scouts to report on King Pingnan's movements at any time, and if possible, let them pass." Ju Zheng said in a deep voice.
"Big brother means ......" Wu Yashi closed the paper fan.
"Didn't the third child say last time that the emperor's holy decree to King Pingnan said that he should go to Fuzhou in three months to complete the marriage?" Ju Zheng laughed. "Presumably King Pingnan should be in a hurry! We had time, and I thought, they couldn't find us, so they went to the next place. ”
"Big brother Takami." Wu Yashi chimed in.
Hu Xu, Shi Fei, and Xuan Hao looked at each other, all of them looking confused, they didn't understand what Ju Zheng and Wu Yashi were talking about.
Molda got up to leave, and according to Ju Zheng's instructions, he sent dozens of people to investigate Zhao Shuo's movements.
At the same time, Zhao Shuo's army, which had rested for a day, left Lanxi County and began to enter the mountains southwest of Lanxi.
Zhao Shuo, who had the same idea as Ju Zheng, sent Zhang Chujiu to explore the mountains with the survey soldiers early.
After Zhao Shuo left, Lanxi County ordered Hong Mengyang to explain the reason why the shells rang off all night in order to appease the people who stayed behind, which made Zhao Shuo invisibly spread his reputation and collect a group of people's hearts.
