"Who?"

"Have you forgotten that last time the province allocated me 300,000 catties of grain, but it turned out that people took advantage of the rain to set up an ambush in the Grand Canyon, and almost all the grain was destroyed. Among them, there are not only four of you...... No! It was not only the three of them, but also another group of bandits who had come from afar. ”

Looking at Fang Jue's mysterious smile, Wang Shihua didn't bother to think deeply about the true meaning of his words, his brows furrowed slightly, and he asked murderously: "Are you suspicious of the Tian Hemp Zi of Luoshui Village?" ”

Fang Jue smiled but did not answer.

Wang Shihua's brows furrowed a little deeper, and after being silent for a while, he nodded slightly, and said, "There is indeed such a possibility." ”

Immediately, his brows furrowed, and the other party Jue hugged his fist and said, "Thank you!" ”

Fang Jue leaned closer and whispered, "When you exterminate Tian Hemp, you must take me with you." ”

Wang Shihua knew that Fang Jue had a grudge against Tian Hemp because of the 300,000 catties of grain, but he didn't want to be used by Fang Jue, so he smiled faintly and asked rhetorically, "Why do you have to bring you?" ”

"You have to bring people over, that is called bandits fighting bandits, but you have to take me, led by me, the county magistrate, this is to call the officers and soldiers to exterminate the bandits. Got it? ”

"Hey! Hey! County Magistrate Fang, you seem to have forgotten, I am now the head of the Baojing Regiment, the regular army of the national army, and it is my natural duty to exterminate bandits~! ”

Fang Jue didn't answer, but shrugged his shoulders, hugged Wang Shihua with a smile, turned around and left.

Wang Shihua thought about it for a while, and then understood what this meant: Although Wang Shihua has become a soldier, the local views are still dealt with by local people, otherwise, there will be a suspicion of crossing the line. Besides, although it will expose some of its strength or force, the benefits are also obvious.

Watching Fang Jue and the others get on the boat, Wang Shihua suddenly thought of a detail, his face turned cold, and he asked Uncle Jiang, who had just come to his side: "Uncle Jiang, why did you come so quickly when you talked about the surname Fang?" Do you know so well? ”

"He must have calculated the time when the fleet arrived today, and then he rushed here...... That's not right! Even if he had calculated the date, how could he have known so much about what had happened when he put it on, unless he ......"

Uncle Jiang hesitated slightly, then his eyes widened suddenly, he glanced at Wang Shihua, and at the same time called out two words-"Telegram!" ”

It's right to think about it, even if Fang Jue calculates the date correctly, but at least he has to set off early this morning, but the incident of stepping on Tiger Beach only happened this morning, and he can't know it in such detail on the road, unless there are two things: one is that he carries a radio station with him, which is better, after all, with his relationship, it is not difficult to get a radio station; Second, someone on the ship informed him on the radio in time, that is to say, Hu Xingmin took the radio, but was not discovered by Uncle Da and others, there is a big problem here...... Of course, it could also be that they were so busy dealing with the ambushers that they neglected to keep an eye on them.

In fact, Hu Xingmin was really wronged, and it was Fang Hua who really carried the radio. Because Uncle Da only focused on Hu Xingmin, but ignored the people around Fang Hua.

"Ergouzi, send someone to check, did Fang Jue come to us directly, or did he go to the restaurant to meet his uncle first? If so, how long did the conversation last? ”

"Uncle Jiang, are you done with the statistics?"

"Not yet, but it's full of military uniforms and other things, and I'll send someone to count them, thinking that I'll send you a list of weapons first, so that I can check it."

Wang Shihua took out the list that Fang Jue had given him before and handed it to Uncle Jiang.

Uncle Jiang hurriedly compared it little by little on the side.

After a few minutes, Uncle Jiang smiled and said, "Family master, except for the 1,000 fast guns shipped by the No. 2 big ship and the military uniforms that are being counted, nothing else is the same. ”

Wang Shihua also breathed a sigh of relief. began to have the leisure to chat with the second child of the Xiao family again, waiting.

Ten minutes later, Uncle Da inspected the ten big ships, and saw that there was even a salvage boom (wooden), and there was nothing missing, so he naturally thanked the other party a lot.

Immediately, he came to Wang Shihua to report.

After listening, Wang Shihua hugged his fists and smiled at the second child of the Xiao family: "The second brother is still experienced in handling things, and everything is prepared for me." ”

At this moment, Erhu arrived with people.

Wang Shihua took the opportunity to meet him and whispered to Erhu: "The people who ambushed us have fled to Hubei, and I estimate that other spies may fail, only Uncle Da sent out, and twenty people led by a leader named Yang San are still following." I'm afraid that something will happen to them, so you immediately bring a thousand men and horses to meet them. Remember, there must be a living, and I will personally interrogate...... I guess it's possible that Tian Hezi's people are ambushing us, so you rush to Luoshui Village, if you haven't caught up in Hubei for a hundred miles, don't chase it, and retreat immediately, do you know what I mean? ”

"I know, the head of the family thinks that if I don't catch it, I won't startle the snake, and when we mobilize enough manpower, and the other party gathers in the back, we will uproot the other party at once."

Wang Shihua smiled and nodded, turned around and took the second tiger to the second child of the Xiao family, and said with a smile: "Second brother Xiao, brother still has something to trouble you." ”

"Shihua, do we still need to be polite between us? If there's anything I can do to help, just tell me. ”

"I have a rough estimate, I want to send some people to Hubei to chase after me, and I have to trouble Second Brother Xiao to mobilize some big boats to send them across the river. And then, tomorrow night, and all the time until the next night, they were waiting across the river to meet them. "After Shendao Town crosses the river and goes fifteen miles to the north, it is the boundary of Hubei.

I thought it was a big deal, but it turned out to be such a small thing - Wang Shihua was also in a hurry and didn't think much about it, otherwise, this little thing really wouldn't trouble others.

Xiao Renyi immediately beckoned a butler, pointed to the big boats and small boats on the left, and ordered: "You go over there immediately, hire twenty big boats and twenty small boats, wait for these people to cross the river, and then wait on the other side of the river until the evening of the day after tomorrow...... Remember, just talk about what my Xiao Lao Er said, all the expenses are covered by my Xiao family, but if anyone doesn't even give me this face, in the future, I don't have to think about eating water rice. ”

As soon as Wang Shihua heard that this matter could be solved with money, he immediately woke up to his momentary negligence, and was about to say, "This money should be paid by my Wang family", but he was about to open his mouth, but he shut up again: since the other party opened his mouth, it is equivalent to that he owes the other party a favor in this matter, so if he wants to forcibly pay money, isn't it a bit nondescript, but it seems stingy.

I had to hold my fist at Xiao Renyi and said: "It's still the second brother who is well-informed and resourceful, and Shihua admires it." ”

"Hah! Ha! Shihua, don't talk about favors first, I want to ask you for favors now. ”

Seeing Wang Shihua smiling, Xiao Renyi said with a smile: "The blue and white bricks of the Wang family are famous all over the world and are exclusively supplied by the royal family, but everyone knows that without your nod, even the emperor will not want to get a piece." No, I have a friend who is a friend of my family and wants to use blue and white bricks to make bedroom tiles, but he didn't go directly to your door, so he asked me to ask you for a favor...... Scold! Scold! You can rest assured, the price is the price, I am just matchmaking, and I just earn personal favors at both ends. ”

"We still have each other, it's rare that there are things at home that the second brother can look at, and I just have to pull as much as I want, it's not enough for me to let the family immediately burn it overnight." The blue and white bricks of the Wang family are definitely not famous in the world, because only the real family can know its existence, and many ordinary people have not even heard of it, so it can be seen that it belongs to the treasure of the priceless market. If it weren't for Xiao Renyi's opening, and now he can't wipe his face, Wang Shihua might have vetoed it - the Xiao family has helped a lot in Wang Shihua's food plan, if it weren't for the Xiao family to come forward and withstand the huge pressure given by Fang Jue in front, the grain in Shendao Town would never be controlled so impermeable, so that Fang Jue felt helpless, so he had to turn to Wang Shihua in many things, so that Wang Shihua saw the Xiao family's huge ability and influence in business, in the future, it is natural to get closer to the Xiao family. In order to facilitate the development of the Wang family in all aspects.

Xiao Renyi obviously knows that there are four blue and white bricks of the Wang family that are not sold: corrupt officials do not sell, forced to buy and sell do not sell, those who are rich and unkind do not sell, and those who change hands and give them away do not sell. Although this is the rule of the ancestors of the Wang family, now there is equal to nothing, and it has evolved into an excuse for Wang Shihua to make a decision, but the face that should be given still has to be given, after all, Wang Shihua is so happy, so that he can have a lot of face in front of that friend. After thanking Wang Shihua at the moment, he explained with a smile: "Don't worry, the other party is also a big family, I guarantee that they will come innocently, just for their own use, and will never violate the rules of the ancestors of the Wang family." I don't dare to buy more, just a thousand yuan, and I also know the rules to settle in gold. ”

The price of blue and white bricks is only allowed to be settled in gold, and since ancient times, there has been a reputation of a blue and white half two gold - this rule is implemented very seriously.

"With the second brother coming forward, I still don't have anything to worry about." As he spoke, Wang Shihua pulled Uncle Jiang to his side and said with a smile: "When you want it, just look for Uncle Jiang, if it's not enough, you can also discuss with Uncle Jiang." In a word: I, Wang Shihua, am definitely a friend. ”

At this time, the people sent by the second dog, Wang Shihua looked at the second dog who was about to report, pulled the second tiger to his side, and smiled at Xiao Renyi: "Second brother, he is the second tiger, and when the time comes, I will take the people he brought back." ”

Then he said to Erhu Zhengse: "This time, it's just to track down, don't give me extraneous branches." Did you know? ”

"Yes!"

Immediately, Wang Shihua looked around, but didn't find Pete, and asked strangely: "Who saw Pete?" ”

"The head of the family, he has already slipped away, saying that he wants to buy some jewelry for his foreign guest."

On weekdays, I can still turn a blind eye to your 'herding sheep', but now at this critical moment, it is a good opportunity for you to show your talents, you actually care about what jewelry your wife wants to wear, do you play like this? Won't you be allowed to go when you come back...... In the event of a fight, I will be relieved that you, an artillery expert, will personally press the formation with a small steel cannon -- now, Wang Shihua has completely adapted to this new combat method after combining the new type of artillery and the infantry.

But what can Wang Shihua do now? I could only ask in confusion: "The twenty students he brought?" ”

"Wait over there."

"Who's taking the lead?"

"It should be Wang Shixiong, he is the eldest of the last batch of trainees, and he is the deputy commander of the artillery battalion."

"Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case! Erhu, you bring them and their weapons. ”

"Master Xie."

"If there's any danger, you can just hit it with a cannonball." Wang Shihua thought for a moment and added: "Even if you exchange all the shells for the safety of one of my Wang family's children, it's worth it." ”

"Subordinates remember." After speaking, he looked at Xiao Renyi.

How could Xiao Renyi not see the meaning of this look? When they finished talking, they exchanged a few words with Wang Shihua, put the favor in place, and arranged it in person.

Erhu hurriedly chased after him with a thousand men and horses.
