After the duke sent by the grandfather left, Hua Zhong said to Hua Huai: "Big brother, this place can't be encompassed, and you have to fight with the Liangshan thieves, how is this good?" ”

Hua Huai smiled excitedly: "Hahaha, my silly brother, the opportunity to make a fortune has come, the opportunity to make a fortune has come!" ”

"How rich?" Hua Zhong asked with a puzzled face: "This land can't be covered, where can I go to make a fortune?" ”

"Brother, did the duke just say that the duke deliberately wanted to climb Zhujiazhuang and Hujiazhuang and colluded with the Liangshan thieves?"

"yes. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Did the imperial court send Hu Yanzhuo, a descendant of Hu Yanzan, a famous general of the founding of the country, to lead an army of 10,000 to conquer Liangshan?"

"yes."

"This is the opportunity to make a fortune!"

"Big brother, you should be clear." Hua Zhong said, subconsciously looked at the door of the back hall, and said in a low voice: "Brother, we still owe the brothers five months' military salary......

"Aren't I thinking about it?" Hua Huai said to Hua Zhong: "The official army is coming to conquer Liangshan, do you think he Zhujiazhuang and Hujiazhuang should raise some military salaries, grain and grass to supply the officials and soldiers?" ”

"That's right!"

"Then you say that we are not officers and soldiers."

"Of course it is."

Hua Huai slapped Hua Zhong on the back of the head, and said with a smug smile: "Haha, isn't this opportunity to make a fortune coming!" ”

Only then did Hua Zhong understand, and gave a thumbs up and said, "It's still the eldest brother's head." However, eldest brother, if you get the money this time, you must pay the military salary to the brothers, otherwise I am afraid that the brothers will mutiny. ”

"I know, I know," Hua Huai said: "Lao Tzu has brought soldiers for many years, these birdmen are wondering, Lao Tzu is clear, I don't believe it, these birdmen dare to mutiny!" ”

In the early morning of the next day, Hua Huai led Hua Zhong and dozens of personal followers, and first went to Zhujiazhuang.

Now that the officials of the imperial court are here, Zhu Wanmao and the three sons of the Zhu family naturally have to open the middle door of Zhujiazhuang and greet them in person.

When they arrived in the hall, the father and son of the Zhu family and Hua Huai Huazhong sat down as guests, and after serving tea, Zhu Wanmao asked respectfully: "Dare to ask Hua Fang if he has any advice for coming to the village?"

Hua Huai didn't look at the Zhu family father and son, opened the lid of the teacup in his hand, blew away the tea leaves floating on it, took a sip of tea, smiled coldly, and asked: "This official is here, what does the Zhu Chaofeng Association not know?" I wish the family all that this Hua Huai came to the door was a weasel greeting the chicken for the New Year-not well-intentioned. Therefore, Hua Huai's every move made the Zhu family, except for Zhu Biao, feel uneasy.

"I really don't know below, please also spend the defense to make it clear."

Hua Huai said with a righteous and awe-inspiring look: "Someone reported that you Zhujiazhuang colluded with Liangshan thieves to rob the township, and plotted to rebel for the sake of the party!"

When the family heard this, they immediately looked at each other in shock. Zhu Wanmao arched his hand and asked: "Dare to ask Hua Defense, it is the bloody mouth who spews people and frames them!" ”

Hua Huai looked embarrassed, hesitated for a long time and said: "The person who reported this should not have said it, but this defense thinks about it, this collusion with thieves is a felony after all, and it is better to investigate it clearly, and the two sides should understand the confrontation, so let's do it, this defense might as well tell you the Zhu family, and it is the people from Hujiazhuang who reported your Zhu family's collusion with the thieves on Liangshang." ”

As soon as Hua Huai's words came out, the Zhu family immediately understood that Hua Huai was provoking the relationship between the Zhu and Hu families. It is clear that Hua Huai has just arrived in Dulonggang, and he doesn't know that the two Zhu Hu families have already married, which is a loss and a glory, if the Zhu family colludes with thieves and is beheaded, it is impossible for the Hu family to retreat.

Zhu Long and Zhu Hu listened to Hua Huai's words, and was shocked and angry in his heart, this is clearly blackmail, how can Hu Jiazhuang report us Zhu Jiazhuang, Zhu Hu was about to speak, Zhu Biao rushed to say: "Xiao Ke Minghua defense, don't believe that Hu family nonsense, our Zhu family wants to be a law-abiding person, how dare to do that traitorous thing, please also Hua Defense Mingcha." ”

When Hua Huai heard Zhu Biao's words, he secretly said in his heart: "Okay, good, I just fell for my plan." So he sighed and said: "Actually, this defense also believes that you Zhujiazhuang will not collude with the Liangshan bandits, but you have to show evidence that you did not collude with the Liangshan bandits." ”

Zhu Biao smiled secretly in his heart: "The fox's tail is about to be exposed." Busy with an open mind to ask for advice: "Then dare to ask Hua Defense, how can I prove that I Zhujiazhuang did not collude with Liangshan thieves?" ”

Hua Huai said: "The Liangshan thieves ransacked Gaotang Prefecture, and when the court sent an army of 100,000 heavenly soldiers to Gao Taiwei, led by the famous general Hu Yanzan and then Hu Yanzhuo, to conquer Liangshan. As the so-called soldiers and horses have not moved, grain and grass go first. This 100,000 army, 10,000 gold per day, if you wish Jiazhuang can praise the grain and grass and military salary, then the rumors of your collusion with the Liangshan bandits, won't it be self-defeating? ”

"Reasonable, reasonable!" Zhu Biao said with an embarrassed face: "But you also know that Hua Fang also knows that I wish the small village of Jiazhuang, which has the financial resources to supply an army of 100,000." ”

"Yes." Hua Huai said: "Actually, you don't need to give much to Zhujiazhuang, the meaning is just that." ”

"Then please come up with a charter for Hua Fang, and we wish Jiazhuang to do our best."

Zhu Wanmao and Zhu Long and Zhu Hu understood as soon as they heard it, this Hua Huai was clearly here to extort money, how could Zhu Biao, who was shrewd on weekdays, be led by others today? But Zhu Biao was talking to this Hua Huai again, and they couldn't interrupt, so they had to let him speak.

Hua Huai thought for a moment and said, "That's it, don't let you make too much of Zhujiazhuang." You Zhujiazhuang only need to take out 1,000 stones of grain, 3,000 yuan of silver, and 5,000 stones of forage to dedicate to the conquest army, and then this regiment will go to General Huyan to explain that your Zhujiazhuang did not collude with Liangshan thieves, but was only framed by traitors. ”

When Zhu Wanmao heard this number, he was almost angry. Zhu Long and Zhu Hu gritted their teeth even more.

Hua Huai saw the annoyed appearance of the Zhu family's father and son, and also said with a straight face: "What's wrong?" Don't want to? Could it be that you really colluded with the Liangshan bandits? ”

Zhu Biao glanced at Zhu Wanmao and Zhu Long and Zhuhu, and said with a smile: "How can you be unwilling?" It's just that the amount of these grains, grass, and military salaries is too large, and we need some days to raise them in Zhujiazhuang. ”

"From the point of view of this defense, you are the best at all." Hua Huai stood up and said: "This defense still has important things to do, it is inconvenient to stay longer, then this defense will give you a five-day time limit for Zhujiazhuang, if you can't pay these grains and grass military salaries, then don't blame this defense for acting impartially!" After that, he flicked his sleeves, and without waiting for the Zhu family to respond, he led Hua Zhong and his entourage to leave Zhujiazhuang and go straight.

As soon as Hua Huai left, Zhu Hu complained to Zhu Biao: "Third brother! This Hua Huai is clearly here to blackmail, why did you agree so readily? ”

As soon as Zhu Hu's words came out, Zhu Wanmao and Zhu Long both cast complaining glances at Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao smiled slightly, and said: "Please rest assured, Daddy and the two brothers, I am talking to him like this now, but I just want to stabilize this dog offal first, you wait and see, how he eats it, I will let him spit it out, not only will he spit it out, but I will also let him spit it out for me with his heart, liver, intestines and lungs!" ”

Since the previous defeat of the Liangshan soldiers and horses, and the later marriage with Hujiazhuang, Zhu Wanmao felt that his third son was extraordinary, so he asked: "Biao'er really has any good strategies to get our family out of trouble." ”

Zhu Biao said: "Daddy, don't worry, my son has his own clever plan." ”
