Chapter 89: Compliment

(Thanks to Black Willow and the mystery man for their support, thank you!) )

On the south road of Zhangnan City, Wang Damao, the leader of the black and strong team, trotted next to the horse of the county commander Wang Rong, and said flatteringly: "That Dou Jiande is now settling in the Nine-Tailed Fox Inn!" ”

"That broken foot shop where Zhang Chengjin is called?" Wang Rong rode a white Hexi horse, did not wear the official robe of the county order, but wore a military uniform, he is a native of Guanzhong, the people of Guanzhong are fierce, and he naturally has practiced martial arts. The family is also a government army, and his father was also the governor of the government army, otherwise, his sister would not have been able to marry into the Li valve who was full of princes in the dynasty, even if she had been a concubine, not everyone was qualified. In fact, he would rather want to serve in the army, but unfortunately he was born at the wrong time, and now that the Quartet has surrendered, Haiqing River is Yan, and he has nowhere to fight if he wants to fight. If there is no war, then it will be boring to go to the army. However, although he couldn't become a soldier, he bought a set of high-quality military uniforms, a good horse in Hexi, a Mingguang armor made by the official armory, a horizontal knife, a horn bow, and even a good horse lance that cost a lot of money to get from his brother-in-law. It's just that these equipment usually don't have a chance to be used at all, and today, Dou Jiande, who doesn't have long eyes, came back, just right.

"It's Zhang Jin, I heard that this Zhang Jin said that it has something to do with the Zhang family in Wucheng, do we want to notify the Zhang family before we go over?" The black Zhuang servant reminded in a whisper. Zhang Jin said that this person was not from Zhangnan, he was from Yanxian County, north and south of Zhangnan, and there were only orphans and widows in his family. A few years ago, Zhang Jin said that he went to the edge of Gaojibo and opened such a nine-tailed fox foot shop. This man is easy to make friends with, and he has a ranger spirit. However, he didn't dare to move Zhang Jincheng lightly, it is said that this Zhang Jincheng has something to do with the Zhang family in Wucheng. Originally, he didn't believe it, but Zhang Jin said that when he first came to Zhangnan Panxia's foot shop, someone in the yamen went to collect money, but he asked for more, and Zhang Jin said that he refused to give more. A few officials wanted to teach him a good lesson and started to do it, but a few of them were beaten up. A few people returned and reported to him, he was about to order the Qi brothers to arrest Zhang Jincheng, but a steward of the Zhang family in Wucheng came over and gave him a gift, as well as a name of the head of the Zhang family. Being in Beizhou, how could he not know that the Cui family and the Zhang family with Qinghe were people who could never be messed with. That matter was over, and since then he has never gone to trouble Zhang Jincheng again, and mainly warned his subordinates to let them not trouble him again.

Last time, Dou Jiande provoked the county order, and in the end, it was this Jin who found the steward of the Zhang family to come out and say a few words, and the county order gave Dou Jiande a horse.

Wang Rong rode on the horse, his hand pressed the horizontal knife, and his face was uncertain. Wang Damao didn't say that this gold title was okay, but when he said it, he was angry in his heart. During these times, he had already found out that this Zhang Jin claimed to be indeed related to the Zhang family in Wucheng, but he was just an illegitimate son of the Zhang family. It is said that the head of the Zhang family had sex with a girl after drinking once, and then the girl became pregnant. The head of the Zhang family didn't know that the girl was pregnant, but his wife knew. After knowing this, Zhang's wife directly drove the pregnant girl out of Zhang's house, gave some money and rushed back to her mother's home in Texas, and asked her to kill the child. As a result, this girl did not kill the child, but gave birth. This child is Zhang Jincheng, and it wasn't until Zhang Jincheng came to Zhangnan a few years ago that the head of the Zhang family knew about this illegitimate child. However, although the Zhang family met Zhang Jin twice, Zhang Jin said that it was impossible to really become the Zhang family. Wang Rong was well aware of the status of these nameless children in the clan, they were nothing, and sometimes they were even inferior to a servant.

He has already given face to the Zhang family twice, this time, as long as he doesn't do anything to Zhang Jincheng and only cleans up Dou Jiande, the Zhang family has nothing to say. It is impossible for them to deliberately offend a lowly servant and the Li Valve behind him for the sake of him and his back.

"Don't worry about this, Zhang Jin said, after a while, he surrounded the foot shop, and definitely don't run away from Dou Jiande, this time, the county wants him to come and go." Wang Rong sneered.

Aside from the Zhang family, Dou Jiande is nothing, what if he has a little fame in the countryside, no matter how famous he is, he is just a landowner, and his family has a lot of money, and he is just a pig to be slaughtered. Well, after taking all the wealth of the Dou family, I turned around and gave a heavy gift to my brother-in-law Li Hun, maybe I could find a fatter shortage for myself. Although this Zhangnan is good, there are shadows of the Cui family and the Zhang family everywhere, and if you want to make some money, sometimes it is too difficult, and you are constrained everywhere. I still have to change to a better place, an unconstrained place, so that's cool.

Thinking that he would be able to change to a fatter difference soon, Wang Rong couldn't help but feel that the spring breeze was proud. The whip in his hand was added a few more times, urging the horse to move quickly. More than 100 people who followed the horse were also excited. These people only have a dozen or so Yazhong tolerances, and the rest are mostly scoundrels, Wang Rong has already spoken, take down Dou Jiande, and everyone will be rewarded at that time.

The Nine-Tailed Fox Inn in the distance was already in sight, but Wang Rong's face was a little unpleasant.

Things were a little beyond his expectations, and there was a huge convoy of tall horses tied under the row of locust trees outside, and there were no less than twenty carriages parked on the side, not ox carts or mule carts, but real carriages. In addition, hundreds of tents have been erected outside the compound, and countless strong men have come and gone. At a glance, this team may be no less than a thousand people. What made him even more ugly was that many people in this team were openly equipped with weapons such as horizontal knives and spears.

"You said Dou Jiande was in this store at this time?" Wang Rong called Wang Damao, and his tone was a little unkind.

"Yes!" Wang Damao's head was sweating, he received the news from his subordinates, and immediately reported to Wang Rong, he himself didn't know that there were so many people in this store. Looking at the team, the other party must be a wealthy nobleman, maybe it is still the head of the county king, and it will be troublesome if it collides.

"Is Dou Jiande traveling with these people?"

"I don't know if it's a little one!"

"Then don't you go and inquire." Wang Rong was furious. Wang Rong is from Beijing and is well-informed, but the car lineup on the opposite side is rare even in Beijing. For a while, he couldn't figure out the depth, and he didn't dare to go up rashly.

"The little ones will go right away." Wang Damao trotted all the way over.

For a long time, just when Wang Rong and others were a little impatient, Wang Damao ran back, he wiped his sweat, and said with some panic: "Mingfu, things are a little troublesome, I just spent a lot of effort and heard some news, and Dou Jiande came with this team." ”

Wang Rong groaned, "Do you know where this team comes from?" Who is it? ”

Speaking of this, Wang Damao's face was sweating even more, "Yes, yes"

"What is it?"

"It seems, it seems to be someone from the Yanshan Tiger Alliance, and it seems to be Yi Saburo who started the way."

"White Horse Silver Spear Yi Saburo, the Nine Masters of the Tiger Alliance?" Wang Rong exclaimed, he was still very familiar with the famous green forest bandit leader in Hebei.

Wang Damao swallowed his saliva, "It seems that this Yi Saburo has been promoted to the acting leader of the Tiger Alliance and is about to return to Yanshan." Dou Jiande was with him, and I also saw a few acquaintances, Hao Xiaode and Sun Anzu, as well as Su Yong from Jizhou. Mingfu, let's not withdraw. ”

The prestige of the Tiger League is too great, and there are thousands of people on the other side, and there are only 200 horses on horseback, and a group of them together is only about 100 people.

Wang Rong's face was cloudy, he really wanted to rush up and take down this gang of thieves in one fell swoop, but looking left and right, he also knew himself. After thinking for a moment, "Well, let's withdraw for the time being, and you bring a few people here to keep an eye on them." When the official returned to the ya, he immediately reported the history of the assassins in the state, and asked him to send the hussar army to round up these thieves. ”

When Wang Damao heard that he was going to stay under surveillance, his legs trembled a little. This is thousands of green forest strongmen, if they are accidentally discovered, how can they still be killed.

At this moment, several fast horses suddenly approached on the opposite side, bluffing Wang Rong and the others into pulling out their horses and fleeing.

Helplessly, the other party's horse was fast, and before they could react, the other party had already come closer.

"Wang Mingfu, since you're here, why don't you say hello and leave again. There is a distinguished guest in the inn who wants to see the Ming Mansion, please come with him. ”

Wang Rong recognized the horses, led by Zhang Jincheng, the illegitimate son of the Zhang family, and the two next to him were Hao Xiaode and Sun Anzu. Wang Rong wanted to turn around and leave, but when he saw that the group of strong men under the tree not far away had already untied the reins of their horses, he knew that he couldn't outrun them. was apprehensive in his heart, and in the end, Wang Rong had to give himself a little courage, pretending to be calm and said: "Well, okay, lead the way." ”

Wang Rong took a few entourages to follow Zhang Jincheng and others into the Nine-Tailed Fox Inn, and along the way, he looked at the group of sturdy men holding knives and guns, and his legs were already trembling.

"Wang Mingfu, we meet again." As soon as he entered the inn hall, Dou Jiande was already laughing and said.

Wang Rong had no choice but to smile stiffly. His gaze swept over Dou Jiande, and fell directly on the young man sitting next to Dou Jiande, and he was immediately sure that this was the white horse and silver spear Yi Sanlang, the thief from Yanshan. He stared at Yi Feng, waiting for him to speak.

Yi Feng raised his head and looked at Wang Rong a few times, and then said lightly: "You are Li Huqi's brother-in-law?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, the little sister is just Li Hussar's concubine." Wang Rong hurriedly replied.

"So, we're actually our own people." Ling Yun's words made Wang Rong a little confused, how could he be his own person with this green forest thief?

At this time, a tall young man stepped forward, "In the Lower Yangzhou Governor's Mansion, the Jin King's confidant Bingma Kuzhen Metropolitan Governor Sima Dejia, these two are my colleagues, Yang Wei and Pei Li, who are also the Jin Prince's Mansion Kuzhen Metropolitan Governor. ”

Now Wang Rong was even more confused, could it be that several governors of the Jin Palace's mansion arrested this Yi Sanlang? It doesn't look like it.

At this time, Ling Yun stood up, "Let me also introduce myself, in Xia Yifeng, the soldiers of the Jin Wangfu Cao joined the army." General Li Hun and I just separated in Yangzhou a month ago, before coming, he also asked me to pass by Beizhou to come to sit here with you, I didn't think about it, I just arrived in Zhangnan, Wang Mingfu immediately greeted the door, this is really polite. ”

"Jin Wangfu soldier Cao joined the army? You're not" Wang Rong was surprised and incomparable.

Ling Yun smiled, "That's right, I am Yanshan White Horse Silver Spear Yi Saburo, but I am also a soldier of the Jin Palace. Speaking of this, Ling Yun turned his head to Zhang Jin, who was also shocked on the side, and said: "By the way, the Qinghe Zhang family advocates Qianwei, he is now a member of the Jin Dynasty of the Jin Prince's Mansion, and he is my top boss." Before coming, he also explained to me that when I passed by Qinghe, I would meet Brother Zhang. Ling Zun will explain that you will go north with me. ”

"Of course, there is no evidence, I have here the handwritten letters handed over to you by two officials, you can take them." Ling Yun took out two letters and handed them to Zhang Jincheng and Wang Rong.

Zhang Jincheng and Wang Rong were still immersed in shock, and it was difficult for them to accept that a green forest thief had become a court official in the blink of an eye, and he was still related to them. Credible, they quickly determined that it was true.

"Wang Mingfu, I hit it off at first sight not long ago, and I have become brothers. I heard that there is some misunderstanding between Mingfu and Brother Dou? Ling Yun asked with a smile.

Wang Rong had already come back to his senses, and when he heard this, he quickly shook his head, and then nodded desperately, "Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding, the water washed the Dragon King Temple, it's all a misunderstanding." Please forgive Yi Bingcao and Dou Zhuang and give me a chance to remedy? "Although Ling Yun's official position is equivalent to that of his county commander, Ling Yun is a soldier of the Jin Palace, and this is the position of the Jin King's confidant. And he is actually just a slave of Li Valve, even Li Hun is serving under the account of King Jin, how dare he snub Ling Yun.

Ling Yun looked at Wang Rongqian's condescending appearance, and he didn't care, he turned his head to look at Dou Jiande, and signaled what he wanted to do. Although Dou Jiande gritted his teeth with hatred when he saw Wang Rong, he thought about it carefully and knew very clearly that he couldn't delve too deeply into this matter. After all, this Wang Rong's sister was a concubine for Li Hun, who was the personal confidant of Yang Guang, the king of Jin. Since Wang Rong can be forced to apologize, it is enough.

"It's really just some misunderstanding, Wang Mingfu, it was Dou Mou who was rude before, and I ask Mingfu to bear with me." Dou Jiande smiled and talked about the scene.

"Misunderstanding, since Brother Dou has already followed Brother Yi to do things, then he will do things for King Jin together, and we will be a family in the future, a family. In the future, if there is anything in Zhangnan, just look for Wang Rong. Wang Rong got off the donkey and said nice things.

It would be best if things could be resolved in this way. Wang Rong is just a small person, Ling Yun really wants to step on him, but it depends on the owner to beat the dog, after all, he is Li Valve's dog, and he is not easy to beat. What's more, before he went north this time, in Yangzhou, Li Hun did mention this Wang Rong to him, and asked him to go to Zhangnan to rest and let Wang Rong entertain him when he passed through Beizhou.

What he was really a little surprised was that Zhang Jin said that Qianwei, the family leader of the Zhang family in Qinghe, was also in Yang Guang's mansion, and it was the Jin prince of his direct boss of Bing Cao, in the mansion, he and Zhang Heng were called the second Zhang of the Jin domain. Before coming, Zhang Qianwei said that he had an illegitimate son who opened an inn in Zhangnan, and asked him to take this illegitimate son with him when he went north, saying that he would give him a chance to earn a background. He never imagined that the dignified Qinghe Zhang family, the illegitimate son of the head of the Zhang family who was the head of the Ten Pillars Kingdom during the Tang Gaozong period, would be Zhang Jincheng, a famous brutal bandit leader in Hebei during the Sui and Tang dynasties.
