141. Heroes and sinners
Diqiu Town is only a small place, and soon there will be people who know the deceased, one of these two people is named Pang Fu and the other is called Zhan Lai.
These two names, Zhou Quan has an impression!
In Di Jiang's report to him, most of the information about Shi Fengren was the responsibility of this person named Pang Fu, so Zhou Quan knew his name.
Shi Fengren ...... By the way, how did I forget this guy! ”
Zhou Quan's heart suddenly froze, he strung together the causes and consequences and thought about it, and immediately understood the reason for the death of these two people.
They must have been staring at Shi Fengren, but something went wrong, Shi Fengren was protected by bandits, Pang Fu and Zhan Lai were just local idlers, and it was okay to deal with ordinary people, but if they really faced the bandits, they gave it in vain.
"Go and arrest Shi Fengren...... I don't care so much now. Zhou Quan muttered.
A young man quickly ran back to the governor's yamen, looking at his back, Zhou Quan shook his head slightly, and added: "Now, I'm afraid it's too late." ”
There must be some connection between the civil unrest in Xuzhou and the death of Diqiu.
Rao is Zhou Quan has extraordinary insight, and he can't imagine it, this is actually a complete coincidence.
Although Shi Fengren is related to Cao Cao, who set off the civil unrest in Xuzhou, in fact, both were invited by Lu Jinyi to come to Xuzhou to deal with him. It's just that Di Jiang is crooked, and Er Cao Cao is bold and reckless, which detonates this chaos in advance.
Half an hour later, the young man rushed back with several servants: "Da Lang, I didn't catch anyone, and I disappeared from last night!" ”
"Damn...... You go back and remind my father, ask him to pay attention to the scoundrels in the township, I have a list here, go and get people according to the list, Shi Fengren is very likely to hide in these places! ”
This was expected by Zhou Quan, he had already drawn up a list, which was confessed from the confessions of the three people who were holding Duan Tong when he brought back Duan Tong that day. Although this gang of gangsters tried their best to cover up, but after all, it was difficult to change the nature of the rabble, Zhou Quan was about to hand over the list to the errand officer, but when he saw the greed on the officer's face, he suddenly changed his mind.
Although these errand servants have been swept away by his father and son, it may not be known whether there are other people's eyeliner among them, or simply their own greed, like a few of Di Jiang's subordinates.
"That's it, I'll deal with this matter myself!" He withdrew his hand, then got on his horse again, and led the people to gallop towards Zhuangzi outside the town.
As soon as he arrived in Zhuangzi, he immediately said to Sun Cheng, who ushered in him: "Ring the bell and blow the trumpet!" ”
Ringing the bell and blowing the trumpet is an order for a special emergency, Sun Cheng was stunned for a moment, his face changed slightly, and he immediately went to do it. Just a moment later, the bell rang out at the same time as the trumpet, and the whole Zhuangzi immediately boiled.
There have been drills before, and there will be sudden attacks, so although Zhuangzi is boiling, it is not chaotic. Zhou Quan estimated the time, it was about five minutes, and all the array boys had already appeared in front of him.
It's a pity that there is no accurate timer, to solve this, the key problem lies in the gear, Zhou Quan has entrusted the craftsman Cui Dakai found by Lao Min to study this matter. A lot of money was spent, and dozens of samples were made, but none of them met Zhou Quan's requirements.
In the past six months, the money invested in gear research has been nearly 1,000, and even Cui Dakai himself has asked Zhou Quan to resign - only spending money has no effect, he is really embarrassed. But Zhou Quan still insists on investing, there is only one requirement, if it is a process problem, it will be solved from the process, if it is a material problem, it will be solved from the material, in short, the gear must be made!
"Report to Dalang, there should be sixty-seven people, but there are sixty-six people, Ye Chu is at the uncle's place!"
Seeing that everyone lined up to report the number, Sun Cheng reported to Zhou Quan, and Zhou Quan nodded: "Open the warehouse, get all the weapons, let's go out to do something!" ”
Everyone's spirits lifted!
A teenager at this age doesn't know what "scared" means!
Although they don't have to worry about eating and drinking in Zhuangzi, they either study or perform from morning to night every day, but after all, they are still a little monotonous, and only occasionally take turns to go out with Zhou Quan, so this time there is an activity, which makes them very excited.
"Go to Tiehezhuang." Zhou Quan ordered.
Tiehe Village was the closest place to his village, and in the confession of the scumbag, there were two of their companions, who were hidden here.
But when Zhou Quan arrived, these two people were no longer there, not only were they not there, but the scoundrel surnamed Sun in Tiehezhuang, who took them in, also left with a few people.
Zhou Quan asked people to spend money to reward, and the news that they bought was that someone arrived here by night, and then they left together.
"It was late last night...... Hehe, right under my nose! ”
Zhou Quan didn't laugh angrily, he squinted his eyes, and then gathered everyone: "Do you think Shi Fengren is most likely to hide?" ”
He didn't go to the second place, and in terms of time, it was useless to go to the second place now. So far, he has only brainstormed his own ideas.
But the array boy has no concept compared to him, how do they know where this gang of gangsters will hide!
"If I were Shi Fengren, I would come to this first place, and then make an appointment with everyone to gather at the meeting place, and then scatter the people out again, and inform all their people, so that at least forty or fifty people can be gathered...... Where will these forty or fifty people hide? ”
After discussing for a while, everyone still had no idea, and at this moment, Li Bao, who was on guard on the periphery, suddenly shouted: "Who is sneaky? ”
Zhou Quan frowned, looked over there, and saw that Ji Chun, the messenger who came out of Xuzhou City to ask for help, was stopped by Li Bao twenty zhang away.
"Drive him away, there is no time to entangle him." Zhou Quan said unceremoniously.
"I know where Shi Fengren is!" When Ji Chun heard Zhou Quan's words, he immediately shouted.
After a few turns in Diqiu Town, Ji Chun completely understood that this seemingly gentlemanly Zhou Yanei had a lot of influence on his father.
If you want to invite the rescuers of Li Guojian, the only way is to convince Zhou Yanei, and then convince his father!
But judging by some of the things that Ji Chun heard about Zhou Quan, this Zhou Yanei is only afraid that it will be more difficult than his father.
It won't be easy to convince him!
However, Ji Chun is not a person who gives up easily, not to mention that tens of thousands of people in Xuzhou City, hundreds of thousands of people in the entire Xuzhou Mansion, are waiting for reinforcements from him.
He still doesn't know that the father and son of the Zhou family will definitely go to Xuzhou, but they are unwilling to make a wedding dress for Xu Churen now. Therefore, after racking his brains, he happened to notice the dead bodies in the Yuntie River, and then mobilized his relatives and friends in Diqiu, many of whom were the servants of the Liguo Prison Yamen, to find out the matter.
Zhou Quan believed that those errands were right, but at the same time, those errand servants were the head snakes. Ji Chun was not afraid that these errand soldiers would leak the news, but he was able to fully use their power.
"Do you know where Shi Fengren is, do you know that I am looking for Shi Fengren?" Zhou Quan looked at this young catcher in surprise.
"The two deceased people in the iron river are not secrets, and the villain himself is the person of the Li Guojian! The villain knew where Shi Fengren was, so he only asked the governor to go to the rescue for the sake of the lives of tens of thousands of people in Pengcheng......"
This guy has a sense of justice, but unfortunately, his sense of justice can't impress Zhou Quan. Zhou Quan's eyes rolled: "You only have Peng Cheng in your eyes, do you know that there are nearly twenty people in Xuzhou?" Can you think of millions of people in the entire Jingdong Road! ”
"Why did the Ya Nei say that?" Ji Chun was anxious.
"You know this is the Governor of the Mountains, and there is iron here, a lot of iron! If Xuzhou is lost, it is just that the people temporarily succumb to the obscenity of the thieves, but if there is a loss here, the thieves cast iron as soldiers, and in the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of people can be gathered. Now that Jingdong has two roads, where can the army stop these tens of thousands of thieves from running amok? ”
Hearing Zhou Quan say this, Ji Chun was dumbfounded.
He is just a small catcher, thinking about problems, and thinking from his own duty, but he has never thought from the whole picture. Therefore, in his opinion, saving Peng Cheng is the first priority, but after Zhou Quan said this, he felt that keeping Li Guojian was the first priority.
"Xuzhou has a city and a wall, and there are ten soldiers of the military guard battalion, how many thieves and rabble? It only relies on coercing the people and driving them into chaos. Xu Churen's stupid talent, if he is a little smart, he should appease the people in the city, so that even if the thieves are in chaos for a while, it will be impossible to control the entire Pengcheng! At most, it's just a street fight, there is a military guard battalion, an arsenal, a sword, a gun, a bow and a crossbow, and he can still be afraid of a group of gangsters with only wooden sticks and short blades? What really worries me is that he is stupid again and again, and he escapes from Pengcheng in fear of death, so he really gives up Pengcheng! ”
Very good, Zhou Quan's role in transferring the target has been achieved, and Ji Chun was really worried about whether Xu Churen would be stupid. After a while, Ji Chun reacted: "Yanei, but there are only more than 300 sergeants in the Wuwei Battalion......"
"He has more than 300 sergeants, but Diqiu only has more than 100 sergeants!" Zhou Quan snorted: "Since you are a native of Diqiu, could it be that you don't care about your hometown, but worry about Xu Churen's safety?" ”
This is a cruel thing, if Ji Chun dares to admit it, then he will have no face to return to his hometown in the future.
"Moreover, that Shi Fengren was sent by Lashanzhai, and it is very likely that he has colluded with the thieves in Xuzhou, if he is not caught, he will do another thing in Liguojian, do you know what the consequences are? Jingdong and the two roads are in a thief chaos and not to mention, even our Diqiu will inevitably be destroyed by the fire, even if the officers and soldiers are in turmoil afterwards, do you think your old house relatives and ancestral graves can still be preserved? ”
"This ...... This ......" Ji Chun has been completely shaken.
"Therefore, the most important thing for you now is not to ask for help for Xu Churen, but to find Shi Fengren and catch Shi Fengren, if you can do this, you will be a great hero of Diqiu, Xuzhou and even the entire Great Song Dynasty. And if the opportunity is missed because of your hesitation, and Shi Fengren can calmly arrange, then you will become a great sinner from a great hero...... Where to go, you decide! ”
