Chapter 215: Just in time
"The head of the family, County Magistrate Zhou is here to visit."
Wang Shihua nodded, saw that Ergouzi looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, and said with a smile: "Ergouzi, he came to visit me, why are you frowning?" β
"Family master, I don't understand, this county magistrate Zhou was still aggressive just now, but he was scolded by you, but he was honest. The head of the family, he is a county magistrate, is he also bullying the weak and afraid of the hard? β
How did you say this to Ergouzi? Could it be that I sent a smile back to remind him that if he still doesn't understand, he should wonder how he came to be the county magistrate? Or is his relationship with the Zhao family as hostile as rumored?
"I'll talk about that later. Where is he? How many people did you take up the mountain? β
"He's the only one. I am waiting halfway up the mountain. β
"Hey... Sure enough, it's a character. Wang Shihua pouted and smiled, and said to the second dog: "Go and invite him to the Taoist temple on the top of the mountain." You're welcome. β
"Good..."
More than ten minutes later, when Zhou Yi was taken to the Taoist temple, Wang Shihua was admiring the crouching tiger in the Taoist temple.
"I have admired the prestige of the head of the Wang family for a long time, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its name, and Zhou was polite."
"Huh... Ha... Wang Moujie is a civilian, how dare he salute as the county magistrate of Zhou, the county magistrate Zhou is too polite. β
Then the two politely chatted a few words, and then appreciated Shi Hu, and finally, Wang Shihua made a gesture of please: "County Magistrate Zhou, the spring water there is very sweet, why don't we go there and sit?" β
This is the so-called politeness and politeness, obviously both parties are in a hurry, but they have to endure it, first contact the feelings, and then after gradually getting acquainted, they will find a quiet place to talk about business.
"Exactly... Please..."
"Please..."
The two came to the spring, Wang Shihua personally gave the county magistrate Zhou good tea, and then picked up his teacup to compare with the county magistrate Zhou, and said with a smile: "This is the best hair tip given to me by a friend, how about you taste it." β
County Magistrate Zhou answered while drinking tea, but out of the corner of his eye, he found that Wang Shihua's guards had spread out to twenty or thirty meters away, and he knew in his heart that business was coming.
After praising a few more words of tea, County Magistrate Zhou asked with a smile: "Master Wang, I don't know if you have any advice from Zhou?" β
"Don't dare to advise." Wang Shihua lifted the small pot, poured water for him, and said with a smile: "County Magistrate Zhou, Wang is in a hurry, if there is something inappropriate, please bear with me." β
"Please."
"I'm not hiding it from you, everyone opens the skylight and speaks. Everyone knows about you and the Zhao family. Everyone knows what is going on in Silla Village. And the matter of our Wang family and the Silla family, you must have heard about it. You probably know the purpose of my visit, right? β
"Master Wang, to be honest, I really don't know why you suddenly attacked the Silla family this time." County Magistrate Zhou looked at Wang Shihua with a straight face, saw Wang Shihua's eyes narrow, suddenly came to his senses, and asked in surprise: "Is it really as you just said, he really took people to Guixian County to rob the house and burn down your Wang family's granary?" β
Wang Shihua nodded, and briefly explained the cause and effect of the matter, and County Magistrate Zhou was a little depressed when he heard it: This kind of hatred is getting deeper and deeper, but it has nothing to do with him directly, what can he say? And it's already happened, it's too late for him to say anything, and it's better to think about what to do next to be beneficial to himself.
"The Zhao family has really occupied the Silla family? And to send troops to station? β
"Originally, I was going to do it myself, but the Zhao family was so enthusiastic that I was embarrassed to refuse. Scold... "I'm embarrassed to refuse, so I'm naturally embarrassed to stop it."
County Magistrate Zhou nodded, took a sip of tea, and asked, "Master Wang, you must have something to say when you called me." Time is pressing, let's open the door, shall we? β
In the ensuing conversation, both of them exchanged words in whispers, and neither of them knew what they had talked about. But there is one point, the two talked very happily, but at the end, Wang Shihua suddenly smashed the quilt to Zhou Yi's feet in anger, got up and pointed at Zhou Yi, and said angrily: "The surname Zhou, Lao Tzu saw that you were a county magistrate, so he was polite to you, I wanted to resolve the conflict between you and the Zhao family, but I didn't expect you to be so ignorant, but came to persuade me." Hum... My Wang family and the Zhao family are allies, and I, Wang Shihua, can't do anything to betray my friends and make people poke their backbones. β
Zhou Yi also jumped up, glared at Wang Shihua angrily, and roared without backing down: "Your Wang family actually dares to collude with bandits, intending to undermine the peace of our county. As the saying goes: If you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself... Wang Shihua, I advise you to do it yourself. β
"I, Wang Shihua, do things, and it's not your turn to be a small county magistrate. Sue you, if it weren't for the fact that you dared to go to the meeting alone, you would still be a man, and Lao Tzu would have tied you up and sent it to the Zhao family now. β
"You try? Lao Tzu is a county magistrate, are you still afraid that you will not succeed? β
"Get out... If you don't get out, Lao Tzu will kill you alive..."
"I don't need you to rush, Lao Tzu has legs and knows how to walk..."
Seeing that the two fell out, Wang Shihua spoke again, and the people below were naturally unkind to Zhou Yi, although they didn't dare to hit him, but pushing and shouting was inevitable. But no one saw that after Zhou Yi came down the mountain, when he lowered his head and walked towards the security group, his eyes were full of surprise...... Obviously, the scene of the break just now was played by him and Wang Shihua, and it was played for the three guides sent by the Zhao family.
"Send a telegram to Zhao Tianming and ask him where he is?"
The answer was very fast, and the Zhao family's brigade was less than fifteen miles away from Crouching Tiger. This made Wang Shihua feel a little relieved, at least, when singing, the Zhao family was able to appear, thus relieving everyone.
Ten minutes passed.
"Look, master... There has been a redeployment of the Security Corps. β
Wang Shihua stood up and looked at the avenue hundreds of meters below the mountain with a telescope. But he saw that the men and horses of the security regiment were retreating rapidly.
Originally, I thought that the other party probably received a report from the spies: the Zhao family was about to arrive, but I didn't think that after the security team retreated to the corner, they actually went up the opposite hill.
Wang Shihua was furious and roared: "You really dare to compete with us, brothers, ......"
"Master, wait a minute, look over there..."
I looked to the left in the direction pointed by the second dog, but I saw that on the mountain three or four miles away, a team of men and horses was running out of the forest and running towards this side.
"Family Master, is this the Zhao family's reinforcement?"
"It's not like..."Looking at the three or four hundred people who came out of nowhere, Wang Shihua frowned, and said: "Zhao Tianming didn't say that he sent people to take the trail, these people are the people of Zhou Yi." β
"That's weird, looking at what they're wearing, they should be bandits, how can they have anything to do with the county magistrate?"
As soon as he heard this, Wang Shihua suddenly woke up: the Zhao family was too domineering and committed public anger. And these people, including bandits, although they can't compete with the Zhao family alone, but with the support of the government, they gather a lot of small people to have the courage to confront the Zhao family. It's no wonder that the Zhao family is doing things in this county, and sometimes they have to be timid, and now it seems that even a bandit dares to pounce on them, so you know how unpopular they are.
As if to confirm Wang Shihua's guess, as soon as he understood, he saw a guard on the periphery shouting: "Master of the family, come over and see, there are a lot of people here." β
Running to the right and raising the binoculars to see, Wang Shihua sighed even more for the Zhao family: I saw three teams coming out of the mountains and forests and gathering in a clearing seven or eight miles south of Crouching Tiger Temple. There were about a thousand men, some of them with quick guns, some with muskets, and some even with red tassel guns, and it was clear that most of them were people from nearby villages.
"Master, there's someone here again...... Ha... Ha... It should be Uncle Tiger who is the first to start. β
Wang Shihua ran back again, holding the binoculars to take a look, and sure enough, Uncle Tiger led the team, and the black pressure pressed a group of people from the avenue to this side like a black tide.
"Are you still stunned? Reinforcements have arrived, give me a hard beating..."
"Bang... Bang... Bang......"
"Da... Da... Da ......"
"Wow... Scold... ......"
As soon as the gunshots rang out, bullets rained down on the opposite hill four hundred meters away.
The other party did not show weakness, although the well-armed Cheng DΓΉ was not as good as the Wang family's escort, but the victory was more people and more guns, and under the command of the county magistrate Zhou, they fought back...... Although the two sides secretly reached an agreement, they are doing so now to show their strength to the other side, so neither side has left their hands, making the entire battle scene more fierce than the real battle.
On the left side of the Crouching Tiger Temple, the hundreds of bandits came down the mountain and stopped on a small hillside on the side. No matter how dense the gunfire is here, they can't bother with reinforcements, because Uncle Tiger is attacking them with thousands of people. On the right side of the Crouching Tiger Temple, the thousands of people quarreled, and they knew with their buttocks: on the one hand, they must have felt that the gunshots were dense, and they would only be sent to death if they pounced on it; On the other side, there were mostly young men, and they felt that the more this was the case, the more critical it was to show that everyone should go up and help.
Only the Zhao family is the most interesting: they neither helped Wang Shihua take the opportunity to attack the mountain where Zhou Yi was located, nor did they help Uncle Tiger and them attack the bandits, but sent a few people in a big way, holding white flags, on the mountains on both sides...... Persuasion and peace...
With the three thousand of them who can dominate the trend of the battlefield joining, Wang Shihua and Zhou Yi have a tacit understanding that they both gave the Zhao family face, and soon stopped shooting.
"Zhao Tianming, what do you mean?" On the opposite hill is the head of the Zhao family, and it is Zhao Tianming who faces Wang Shihua here. In this regard, Wang Shihua felt ashamed, so he was not polite to Zhao Tianming: "Since you brought the troops here, you didn't help me fight the surname Zhou, and you actually became a peacemaker." Good... Very good... I've seen an ally like you. β
"The head of the Wang family... Rest the anger, rest the anger. Zhao Tianming knew that he was at a loss, so he had to endure his anger and persuade with a smile: "Master Wang, please understand my difficulties." β
In fact, Zhao Tianming wished that the more fierce the fight between the Wang family and Zhou Yi, the better, but the head of the family considered the long-term interests of the Zhao family and thought that it was not the time for a showdown with the county magistrate of Zhou, so there was no need to let the Wang family and the county magistrate of Zhou have a quarrel. Therefore, they arrived in time not long after the two sides started: they could not only make the Wang family and the county magistrate of Zhou make enemies, but also control the matter within a certain range.
"Difficulty? What's your problem? Wang Shihua looked at the opposite mountain with bright eyes, and said coldly: "We are allies, and the one surnamed Zhou wants to fight, will my Wang family watch our allies being beaten and not support?" Besides, the dead soldiers of my Wang family are not eating dry rice, it's a big deal, send the whole family surnamed Zhou on the road, and it's a hundred. β
"Don't... Don't... Brother Wang, our side is different from yours...... "Are you really stupid enough to give you lightning resistance?"
At this moment, the next person came to report, and the head of the Zhao family accompanied Zhou Yi to wait on the avenue, and asked the two to go down to discuss.
When Wang Shihua heard this, his eyes were bright and he sneered: "Brother Zhao, I'll talk about the ugly things first, if you can talk about it, it's fine, if you can't talk about it, don't blame me for not reminding you to send the surname Zhou on the road on the spot." β
"Heh... Scold... If you can talk about it, you must talk about it. β
