Chapter 15: The Missionary
The winter night is silent and gloomy, there are not a few stars to be seen in the hazy moonlight, the cold wind outside keeps blowing Zhang Xiang's face, and from time to time you can hear the rustle of the wind blowing the leaves, it is already midnight, Zhang Xiang is frozen without a trace of sleep, he doesn't understand why all thieves negotiate at this time, and let people sleep at night.
Zhang Xiang Zhang Fei arrived at the agreed place as promised, it was a wilderness forest, and a person walked in front of Zhang Xiang, judging from his clothes, he was a minion, "The two of you are offended, please get into the carriage over there." ”
Zhang Xiang looked there and there was really a carriage, the carriage was surprisingly luxurious, but the colors were a little gorgeous, and at first glance it was the carriage that those young ladies and ladies took when they traveled, which made Zhang Xiang a little speechless.
However, Zhang Xiang endured it in order to see Monza earlier, this road can be said to be a bumpy road, because it is a carriage for women, so the space inside is very small, and there are two men sitting, which can be described as very crowded.
The carriage ran for about an hour to reach its destination, it was a ruined temple, there were almost thirty people in it, all of them were fierce and evil at a glance, and they knew that they were not easy to provoke, and there was a kind of person who was very prominent no matter where they were.
Monza is this kind of person, he just sits in the middle of the crowd, and that kind of aura naturally emanates, "Zhang Tingchang is really a believer, and he said that he would bring a person without any means." ”
Zhang Xiang: "The reputation of the leader is still very big in Youzhou, I have heard a little, and those who can break into such a reputation should disdain to use those inferior means!" I still believe that. ”
Monza: "It's really better to be famous than to meet, Zhuoxian's medicine is so bold, no worse than us martial artists, and I have to say that I admire it." ”
Zhang Xiang: "Leader Meng is better to get straight to the point!" Why did you invite me to come late at night, I don't have the kung fu to grind with you here, I still have a lot of things to do, don't delay my kung fu. ”
Monza: "Pavilion Chang Zhang's Houfeng Pavilion was attacked and harassed by displaced people, and our brothers also joined, but all this happened was a misunderstanding, and we were also taken advantage of, and we know that we regret it very much afterwards, and we apologize here on behalf of all the brothers." ”
Zhang Xiang: "Happy, I asked from the province, so how do you want to solve it?" It won't just be empty white teeth! ”
Monza: "Your carriage is full of our hearts, and I know that you have been trying to lure us out lately, and I believe that we have not yet reached the point of undying between us, and these intentions are our sincerity." ”
Zhang Xiang: "I have the money but I don't have a lot of brothers, I will kill at least twenty of my brothers in a war, you just want to solve it with such an understatement, many of them have watched me grow up, you have this money to burn paper yourself!" Bastard. ”
"Boy, speak cleanly." Some minions began to coax, Monza was just about to stop it, but Zhang Fei took the lead, and punched the minions who were talking nonsense, Monza also saw that Zhang Fei was not weak, and hurriedly stepped forward to resist, and was shocked back by Zhang Fei and hit the incense case of the broken temple.
As soon as those minions saw that the leader was at a loss, they immediately took action, Monza: "Stop me, this is Hu'er Zhang Fei!" I'm ashamed of myself, this matter is indeed our mistake, Zhang Tingchang will draw a line! ”
Zhang Xiang: "I don't care about your brothers, but of course you have to bear everything if you take the lead, I have lost at least twenty brothers, you can stay by my side and protect me for twenty years!" ”
Monza: "Pavilion Chang Zhang really looks up to me!" You have a master like Hu'er by your side, how can you still use me! ”.
Zhang Xiang: "Leader Meng, although you have made a great statement in Youzhou in recent years, I don't think you have a very good life, you also have a wife and children!" Even if you don't have your brother, you have it! Don't you think about your family? Licking blood on the knife edge is not a long-term solution, I believe that there are other people besides me who have recruited you, and the status of those people must be much higher than mine, but what they let you do must not be easier than now, but I am not like me, there is no big danger, you can still return to the white body, why not? ”
Monza: "To be honest, Pavilion Chang Zhang, you are very good at talking, I am very moved, and I do owe you, but is it really as easy as you say?" You said that you are not in great danger, but the person who deceived us last time has a force that is not weaker than that of a tiger, and he can easily kill us. Saying that many of us are wanted, will you have the ability to trade for us for white bodies? ”
Zhang Xiang: "The person you are talking about is Ma Kui, he is now too busy to take care of himself, and your wanted, I dare not guarantee it elsewhere, but I will definitely be able to hold you safe in Zhuo County, and the postal supervisor of Zhuo County is my brother." ”
The last sentence really touched Monza, and he hesitated in his heart, looking at Zhang Xiang's still somewhat immature face, but his methods were so old and spicy, he knew at a glance that it was not something in the pool.
Monza gritted his teeth, "Okay, from today onwards, our brother's life will be in your hands, and my subordinates will see Gongzi." The men of Monza saw that the leader had bowed their heads, and they all knelt down.
Zhang Xiang looked at the thirty or so people in front of him, he knew that these people were different from his previous subordinates, they were all a group of real outlaws, and they also greatly made up for the lack of middle-level commanders under Zhang Xiang.
Zhang Xiang returned to Houfeng Pavilion with a roar, and Fan and Zheng Gang, who knew about it, were silent, one was a person who kept his duty, and the other was a smart person, they all knew what to say and what not to say.
Zhang Xiang also asked Monza to inform Hu Yong of some inconspicuous evil forces in Zhuo County, and Hu Yong also got a lot of benefits because of Monza's intelligence, and he also acquiesced to the existence of Monza and others.
Monza and his party also stuck their heels in Houfeng Pavilion, Zhang Xiang also found that Monza and others did not do something out of the ordinary through a period of observation, the most important thing is that they are very good, and they have also received their families scattered all over the world to Houfeng Pavilion, showing enough sincerity.
Their family also knew that Monza and the others were very happy to get the white body, and they were able to live a comfortable life, thanks to Zhang Xiang, they were also very grateful to Zhang Xiang, and Monza also became Zhang Xiang's fist and foot master, and the Monza matter can also be said to be over.
Zhang Xiang thought that he could develop his forces calmly, but the appearance of the Yellow Turban missionaries broke this calm, and these missionaries still had a few brushes, and in just one or two months, except for Zhang Xiang's Township Pavilion, some nearby Township Pavilions all believed in the Yellow Turban Dao.
Zhang Xiang also understood why during the Yellow Turban Uprising, peasants everywhere surrendered one after another, and so many rebellions were involved in Guangqing, Xu, You, Hebei, Jing, Yang, Yan, and Henan.
The main reason is the methods of the Yellow Turban missionaries, although they are called missionaries, in fact, many of them are doctors, all know medical science, the bottom of the peasants can have any diseases, trauma or diarrhea and those minor diseases, they write the Chinese medicine soup into a charm to dry the patient to take, of course, most of the people get better, those who are not good are also pushed by insincere reasons, and it is strange that the development is not fast.
Because of the existence of Zhang Xiang's medicine in Houfeng Pavilion, there are not many people around who believe in the Yellow Turban Dao, but the situation in other places can be imagined, and it is no wonder that the momentum of the Yellow Turban Uprising will be so huge.
Even so, those who believe in the Yellow Turban Tao in the vicinity also kill chickens and pigs to treat these missionaries, after all, the Yellow Turban missionaries are too mixed, and many of them have set up clever names to accumulate money by various means, and even lure other people's daughters.
Zhang Xiang was angry at all of this, Zhang Xiang ordered Zheng Gang to investigate the whereabouts of these missionaries, and after a while, Zheng Gang came back, "Childe, don't let me go next time for such a simple matter, people nearby who believe in the Yellow Turban Dao know." ”
Zhang Xiang: "This is indeed my negligence, isn't there no one with your talent under my hands now?" So be it! You pick a dozen of my men to help you. ”
Zheng Gang: "Childe, can anyone do it?" ”
Zhang Xiang: "Of course, except for my eldest brother and second brother, Fanhe, Lin Ping, and Monza, you can choose the others." ”
Zheng Gang went down, and when he saw his anxious appearance, he knew that he was going to pick someone, and hoped that he would not make any trouble, Zhang Xiang also knew the location of those Yellow Turban missionaries, and really knew how to enjoy it, living in the house of a nearby landlord, and there were many people waiting.
Zhang Xiang's heart is unbalanced, I, the young master of the merchant family, sometimes have to eat bran vegetables, you scammers who sell dog meat with sheep's heads still enjoy it so much, it just so happens that Lao Tzu has been short of money to spend recently, so you can go under the knife.
Zhang Xiang found Zhang Fei and Monza to discuss the matter, Zhang Fei didn't have any opinion, he would do whatever Zhang Xiang did, Monza was a little hesitant, "Childe, these people still have a bit of Dao power, they are not bad people, they don't have to do so badly!" ”
Zhang Xiang didn't expect that old fritters like Monza would recognize these people, Zhang Xiang took out a yellow turban charm, which Zhang Xiang also spent money to buy, saying that it was a charm that had been personally blessed by the Sect Advocate Horn, and handed it to Monza, "What do you smell like?" ”
Monza: "It smells like herbs." Hey, why still has the faint smell of arborvitae leaves. ”
Zhang Xiang: "You know some pharmacology, even arborvitae leaves, you can't see it!" ”
Monza: "Childe, we have been away for many years, it is inevitable that there will be some external injuries, you also know our details, we can't find a doctor, of course, we have to treat it ourselves, this arborvitae leaf has a strong hemostatic effect, more than once saved my brother's life, is the most familiar with several herbs."
Zhang Xiang: "This is the spell of the Yellow Turban Preacher, do you still think they have any Dao power?" ”
Monza: "Even so, they are saving people!" This spell doesn't seem to cost anything! ”
Zhang Xiang: "Of course, ordinary ones don't cost money, but this is a spell blessed by the sect leader himself, how can I say that it is enough for you to eat for a month, not only that, they defrauded those believers of their money, but also have a daughter for them to enjoy, do you still think I shouldn't do this?" Monza stopped talking, and Zhang Xiang knew that Monza had approved the operation.
