Yue Fei!
Zhou Quan never thought that the young man in front of him was Yue Fei.
Even at this time, he was still a little skeptical that the person in front of him was a good general and national hero who would be remembered by the people whenever the country was in turmoil and the nation was in danger.
No matter how some cynics and shallow politicians are obliterated, in Zhou Quan's heart, Yue Fei is a national hero, and he is a national hero of the Chinese ethnic group and the Yanhuang nobles.
It's just that the future hero is still only nine years old, holding a small bow in his hand, looking at Zhou Quan with admiration on his face.
"Ahem...... "I finally came back to my senses, and now Zhou Quan also knows who his elderly uncle is.
Zhou Tong, Yue Fei's archery master, was also the first person to discover Yue Fei's talent and cultivate him!
"Yue ...... That virtuous brother, we hit it off at first sight, so let's become brothers with different surnames! Zhou Quan took Yue Fei's hand, his eyes shining with a smile on his face.
This enthusiasm made Yue Fei, who was only a child, a little uncomfortable, but he was calm and intelligent, and smiled: "The teacher and I are like father and son, and Da Lang is not only the nephew of the teacher, but also my brother!" ”
Zhou Quan smiled, and there was a strange sense of satisfaction in his heart.
He pulled Yue Fei and asked east and west, and then he knew why Yue Fei came to his house.
It turned out that Zhou Dong was old, with only one son, who was martyred in the border conflict with Western Xia more than ten years ago. Since then, Zhou Tong resigned, he couldn't see the drunken gold fans in Bianjing City, and was hired by others, so he lived in seclusion in Tangyin, taught a few disciples, and after seeing Yue Fei, he liked his talent and taught him archery.
Some time ago, Zhou Tong heard that Zhou Quan had fallen into the water and lost his soul, so he hurried from his hometown and took Yue Fei with him to see the world, so he was catching up with this matter.
The two of them were happy to talk here, and Du Gou'er and the others began to search for the corpses.
Looking at the skillful movements of these people, as well as the giggling expressions when facing the corpses, Zhou Quan had doubts in his heart: what kind of person is his cheap Lao Tzu, who dares to kill in the capital, not to mention, even the cronies and brothers around him seem to be used to being robbers, and they are familiar with the loot.
"Hey, what is this, Xiaolang, you are literate, look at what is written on it?"
On the corpses, wooden plaques were found, with a statue of a god and Buddha engraved on it, and handwriting next to it. Zhou Quan stretched out his head to look, Yue Fei also looked at it, and there were sentences on the left and right, which were "Bright Pudu is quiet" and "Changle is silent and unmoved".
These two sentences seem to be untrue, and Zhou Quan doesn't understand the meaning, but from the fact that each of these corpses is on them, it can be guessed that they should belong to a secret organization.
After they searched here, Zhou Dong and Zhou Fu also walked out, both of them were angry and gloomy.
"Dog, you stay and finish the aftermath, take care of everything that needs to be done, you know how to do it!" Zhou Fu instructed Du Gou'er.
"Brother, just rest assured." Du Gou'er said with a grin.
Zhou Quan glanced at this guy in surprise again, he thought that this guy was a rough man, and he had nothing to do except be bold, but now it seems that his father trusts him very much, and he should not be just as rude as he seems.
"I don't know, how can this cheap old man settle this matter, this is in the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, there are nearly ten murders!" Finally, after glancing at the mansion, Zhou Quan muttered secretly in his heart.
They returned home by car, and when they got home, Aunt Zhou took her teacher to guard outside the door, Zhou Dong, Zhou Fu, plus Zhou Quan and Yue Fei, and the four men stayed in the house.
Originally, Zhou Fu meant that even Zhou Quan and Yue Fei had to be driven out, but Zhou Tong disagreed.
"Those thieves are Mingjiao demons!" After there were only four people left, Zhou Fu said in a deep voice.
Zhou Quan took out the wooden cards and suddenly realized in his heart.
No wonder he is not afraid of death, and has such a degree of organization, it turns out to be Mingjiao!
Thanks to the blessing of martial arts novels, Zhou Quan still has some understanding of Mingjiao, although Mingjiao in real history is not as well-organized and powerful as in martial arts novels, but in Chinese history, he still did a lot of great things.
"Mingjiao...... Fang La! He suddenly shouted, and then looked at Yue Fei.
Yue Fei was inexplicable, but Zhou Quan knew that there was a Song Dynasty, and two large-scale uprisings were related to Mingjiao, and Fang La was one of them, and the later Zhong Xiang and Yang Qi uprisings were simply suppressed by Yue Fei.
As for Zhong Xiang Yang Mi's uprising, he remembered that there was a debate in later generations, believing that the suppression of them was a stain on Yue Fei's life, but those who held this view ignored the information that Zhong Xiang and Yang Mi colluded with the puppet Qi regime of a foreign race.
"Who is Fang La?" Zhou Tong asked in a deep voice.
Zhou Quan was stunned, he didn't know how to explain, and said in a flash: "The little nephew has heard that he is the leader of the Ming Sect...... But when I heard about it, I can't remember, and the little nephew can't remember many things before! ”
Zhou Tong also doubted it, because he had already known about Zhou Quan's drowning and soul loss.
"The Mingjiao is very powerful in the southeast, but in the capital, they are nothing, and it is surprising that Lu Shou is also a member of the Mingjiao." Zhou Fu said.
If it was placed in the southeast, he would be worried about the retaliation of the Ming Sect, but in Beijing, these children of the forbidden army are the real snakes.
"Leave him alone, let's get things out first." Zhou Dong said.
"That's all."
Zhou Dong and Zhou Fu untied their clothes and put the cloth bag wrapped around their waists on the table, and after the cloth bag was opened, it was full of gold and jade vessels!
Even if it is not counted in its exquisite workmanship, the value of gold and jade alone, these gold and jade objects are worth no less than ten thousand yuan!
"Lu Shouna is dead, we are one step late, and the thieves of the Ming Sect killed him. Quan'er, tell me, what should I do with these gold and jade? Zhou Tong asked Zhou Quan.
Zhou Quan scratched his head, knowing that this was a test.
Thinking of the news he got from Shishi, Yue Fei and others, Zhou Quan didn't hesitate for long: "These gold and jade were originally things in the palace......
Hearing him say this, Zhou Tong and Zhou Fu looked slightly disappointed.
But Zhou Quan then said: "However, there are many gold and jade in the palace, and they don't care about this, but some people are in urgent need of food and clothing!" ”
Zhou Quan is talking about the bereaved family of the forbidden army.
When the first emperor Zhezong Dynasty, the Western Xia entered the Kou, transferred the forbidden army in Beijing to support the Liyan Road through the slight envoy Lu Huiqing, the battle lasted for nearly ten years, the soldiers died before and after I don't know how many, only the battle of Jinmingzhai, 2,800 Song troops, only five people survived.
Zhou Dong's only son died in this battle.
Although the heaviest casualties were the Western Army, the Beijing Forbidden Army, which was transferred, also suffered heavy casualties. The survivors of the martyrs of the Western Army, as well as the protection of the head of the Western Army, while the survivors of the martyrs of the Forbidden Army in Beijing are having a difficult life.
If it weren't for the care of Zhou Dong and Zhou Fu, they would not starve to death at this time, and they would have been reduced to lowly servants.
As soon as Zhou Quan's words came out, Zhou Tong stroked his beard with relief, and Zhou Fu also rarely showed a look of approval on his face: "Zhenwu'er!" ”
With the influence of Zhou Fu's power, the reason why the Zhou family is still so poor is to fund the bereaved families of the forbidden army. At this time, Zhou Quan suggested using the gold and jade from Fengchenku to fund the livelihood of the bereaved families of these forbidden soldiers, which was secretly in line with Zhou Fu's plan.
"Good, good!" Zhou Tong's eyes are also shining.
Yue Fei next to him raised his head and looked at Zhou Quan's gaze, which was a little different.
"Father, father, it's just how to support these uncles and aunts, but you still have to be cautious. First, although this batch of gold and jade is a lot, it can really be distributed to everyone, and it can't last for many years; Second, after all, the way these gold and jade came from is not right, and it is easy to cause trouble; Thirdly, our family has always been poor, and if we suddenly take out a large amount of money, we will be suspicious......"
Listening to Zhou Quan's words in an orderly manner, Zhou Tong and Zhou Fu's expressions became serious, and Yue Fei next to him raised his head even more, and there was a bit of admiration for Zhou Quan in his eyes.
"Brother, this is what you call the short-tempered, reckless and stupid Quan'er?" After Zhou Tong listened, he whispered to Zhou Fu.
"This ...... This...... After drowning last time, Quan'er has been different and seems to have grown a lot. Zhou Fu was also suppressed by Zhou Quan.
Not being confused by Jin Yu can see the heart, and analyzing the pros and cons of things can be seen wisdom, Zhou Tong glanced at Zhou Fu, and his brother's eyes were a little dissatisfied in his heart.
"Quan'er, in your opinion, what should I do?" Zhou Fu asked with a wry smile.
"The first is to exchange the gold and jade for money, the second is to make the money innocent, and the third is to use the money to buy and hire those uncles and aunts to run these industries."
The first and second, Zhou Dong and Zhou Fu both nodded again and again, but when they heard the third, Zhou Tong frowned, and said disapprerovingly: "This matter is not appropriate, if so, what is the difference between us and those people!" ”
The "those people" in Zhou Dong's mouth refer to the generals of the Forbidden Army in Beijing.
These generals, big and small, regarded the forbidden army under their command as slaves, and drove them to weave embroidery, burn charcoal, farm, and sell. Jingzhong claims to have 400,000 forbidden troops, but in fact there are less than 150,000 today, and most of them have become the financial resources and personal slaves of these generals.
Zhou Dong and Zhou Fu brothers broke away from the forbidden army, and a big reason was that they couldn't get used to this kind of behavior, so they broke away from the forbidden army.
"Father, Daddy, you misunderstood...... Those men regard the remnants of the generals as slaves, and I regard them as siblings; Those who do it are rich and rich, and I do it is the everlasting happiness of all. Those people only use the money they earn for their own luxury, but I earn money, but I have to solve their worries! ”
Zhou Quan said that he actually wanted to take charge of this windfall.
He used all his means to tell the sky about his intentions. As long as the money is handed over to De to operate, he guarantees that these bereaved family members will have support for the elderly, little education, medical treatment for the sick, and burial for the dead. In short, everything from cradle to grave is all inclusive.
Zhou Quan is convinced that this high welfare treatment from later generations will definitely be able to convince his uncle and father to have the first pot of gold in this life.
