So Zhu Biao and Lu Fang rode horses and followed far behind. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

When the horse team reached the city of Runzhou, one of the young man's attendants rode to the moat and shouted at the defenders at the head of the city: "Open the city gate, open the city gate quickly." ”

One of the defenders of the city poked his head out, glanced down at the city, and said, "The city gate has been closed, and you will come back tomorrow when you enter the city." ”

"Dog's day, blind your dog's eyes, and you don't look at who told you to open the city gate!"

The defender at the head of the city said, "No matter who it is, there is a military order here, and the city gate cannot be opened at this time." ”

"Don't you know this nephew who is the nephew of Suo Chaoxiang, the marching servant of the Third Legion? If you don't open the door again, tomorrow you will ask Chao Xianggong to chop off your dog's head! ”

When the defenders of the city heard this, they fell silent.

Zhu Biao, who was in the back, heard that the other party reported that it was Suo Chao's nephew, and asked Lu Fangdao: "Do you have a nephew?" ”

Lu Fang was stunned for a moment, and before he could answer, Zhu Biao asked again: "If it is your nephew who is forcing the city to open the door now, violating the military order under your banner, what should you do as an uncle?" ”

Lu Fang knew that Zhu Biao was already angry, so he had no choice but to say: "If this person is the nephew of his subordinates, once his subordinates know about this, they will definitely hand him over to Brother Pei Xuan of the Criminal Department to deal with." ”

Zhu Biao said with a cold face: "Pei Xuanke is a person who only recognizes the law and does not recognize people, if you leave it to him to deal with, your nephew will have no good fruit to eat." ”

Zhu Biao and Lu Fangzheng were talking in a low voice, first they heard a heavy "squeak" sound, obviously the city gate opened, and then, they heard the rolling sound of the "bang" iron chain, obviously, this was putting the suspension bridge.

"Okay, it seems that this Suo Chao's nephew is still a figure in Runzhou, and his face is bigger than Lao Tzu's military discipline." After that, Zhu Biao shouted in a low voice: "Go!" Let's find a place to rest for the night today, and then go into the city at dawn tomorrow to meet this person whose face is bigger than Lao Tzu's military discipline. ”

Dividing line ********

The sky had just dawned, and Zhu Biao and Lu Yi, who had been dealing with them all night in the wilderness, flowed into Runzhou City with the bustling people entering the city.

After Zhu Biao and Lu Fang entered the city, they went straight to the Runzhou Mansion. In front of the palace gate, there was a guard to report, and after a while, the middle door of the government was opened, and Liu Jun, the governor of Runzhou, and Zhang Gui, the commander of the Runzhou military and horses, came out to greet him. These two people are the civil and military champions selected by Zhu Biao from the academy.

Liu Jun and Zhang Gui saw Zhu Biao, knelt on the ground together and said: "The subordinates don't know that the privy envoy has arrived, and they are guilty of capital crimes. ”

"Get up." Zhu Biao said lightly: "When I came to your Runzhou last night, because it was late, the city gate was closed, and I didn't find a place to stay, so I spent the night in the forest outside the east gate. ”

Liu Jun hurriedly said: "The subordinates obey the order. ”

Then Zhang Gui led the way, and Zhu Biao and Lu Fang followed behind and walked inward.

"Liu Zhizhou," Zhu Biao glanced at Liu Jun who followed him and asked, "How are the people of Runzhou doing now?" ”

Liu Jun glanced at Zhang Gui in front of him and said: "Thanks to the blessing of the privy envoy, this Runzhou is a land of fish and rice, and the interruption of the Grand Canal, merchants from the south to the north have passed here, the circulation of goods in the market is smooth, the prices are stable, and the people live without worry." Now the privy envoy has ordered that there is no money to study when he is sick, and the people are very happy, and they all praise the kindness of the privy envoy. ”

Zhu Biao listened to Liu Jun's words, did not say whether he was committal, and asked Zhang Guidao: "Zhang Dujian, how many military horses are there in Runzhou now?" ”

Zhang Gui replied respectfully: "Returning to the privy envoy to make the minister, Runzhou has 3,000 infantry troops, 1,000 horse troops, and 1,000 naval troops. ”

"How's the military discipline?"

When Lu Fang heard this, he secretly said in his heart: "It's not good, if this Zhang Metropolitan Supervisor says that the military discipline is strict, then the owner of the village will ask him again, and he will not be able to answer it well." ”

At this time, I only listened to Zhang Guidao: "Returning to the privy envoy to make the minister, the military discipline is quite strict, the sergeants have some drills during the day, some help the people who have no strong labor at home to farm, patrol the city defense streets day and night, and no one picks quarrels and provokes trouble among the people." ”

"Okay!" Zhu Biao said with a smile: "This Runzhou is the gateway of my Jinling in the east, and the two of you will govern Runzhou at night without closing your door and leaving no trace of the road, I am very relieved." ”

Zhu Biao was talking to everyone, the meal was ready, Zhu Biao and Lu Fang had a big meal first, and after filling their stomachs, they went to take a bath.

As soon as Zhu Biao walked into the bathing place prepared for him by Liu Jun and Zhang Gui, he saw that it was foggy and warm like spring. Zhu Biao was just about to undress, when a woman with naked clothes suddenly came over in the fog. Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Who are you!" ”

The four-faced women immediately knelt on the ground respectfully and said, "The little girl is a maidservant who has come to wait for the princess to bathe. ”

"Get out!" Zhu Biao broke off and said: "Lao Tzu has feet and hands, so you don't need to wait for a bath." ”

The four women knelt on the ground, not daring to move. One of the women said, "Xianggong, such as ...... If the slaves go out, it will ...... Will ......" the woman did not dare to say any further.

Zhu Biao looked at these weak women, and couldn't help but feel a desire to kill in his heart, he didn't expect that the officials who came out of his department would also start to prey on the people in the local area. Zhu Biao didn't scold these women anymore, but took off his clothes alone, got into the bathtub, leaned inside, closed his eyes and pondered.

After Zhu Biao got up, he was neatly dressed under the service of the four women. In the study room of the yamen of the state capital, Liu Jun and Zhang Gui set up a banquet to welcome Zhu Biao.

In fact, when Liu Jun and Zhang Gui were taking a bath in Zhu Biao, the two of them were complaining to each other, Zhu Biao came to Runzhou, how could there be no news from Jinling.

There were only four people seated in a banquet, Zhu Biao and Lu Fang sat at the top, and Liu Jun and Zhang Gui accompanied each other at the last table. Zhu Biao asked Liu Jundao: "Liu Zhizhou, do you know why I, Zhu Biao, were able to sweep Jiangnan, while Fang La and Wang Qing were both in different places?" ”

Liu Jun didn't expect Zhu Biao to ask such a question, he glanced at Zhang Gui, and didn't know how to answer.

At this time, I heard Zhu Biao say: "It's just because their royal majesty is not strict, when my Liangshan army attacked Hangzhou, Fang La's guards in Hangzhou were defenseless, which made my Liangshan army easily succeed, and cut Fang La's territory into two, and the end could not echo, so it was finally destroyed by our army." ”
