Liu Jing heard Zheng Guobao call Liu Zhengfeng to be her father-in-law, and she was overjoyed. Seeing that his face was not good, he said what a crutch, and hurriedly asked, "What crutches?" Don't talk nonsense, Master Zhang, that's a big official in the Beijing Division, what do you have to be a minister in the same palace, why did you become a kidnapper? ”
Zheng Guobao shook his head and said: "My good sister, the problem is that I have never heard of such a Master Zhang. "Drinking tea with Zhang Juzheng, playing chess with Zhang Siwei, and going in and out of Shen Shixing's mansion at will, this is the habitual excuse of the second- and third-rate abductors in Beijing to deceive those who enter Beijing from other places to run official turtles. Zheng Guobao thought that he was a well-known literary gangster in Daxing County, and he even dared to sell illicit salt in order to make money, how could this kind of liar hide from him? It is said that Liu Zhengfeng is also a figure who has been rolling in the rivers and lakes for many years, but he didn't expect to fall for this kind of clumsy deception.
"Sister Jing, you don't know, there are rules in the court, and the generals are not donated." In order to save trouble, Zheng Guobao simply said the theme directly. The ginseng will not be sold, and the actual ginseng will not be sold. The so-called donation of officials in the Ming Dynasty was actually selling titles, and there were many institutional provisions in it, and there were strict restrictions on what could be sold and what could not be sold. For example, the salt merchants in Yangzhou are rich enough to rival the country, you say that if they save up to 9 million yuan a year, they will buy a supplement for a few years? There's no play, that's not for sale.
The officials of the generals can indeed be donated, such as Zhang Siwei's younger brother Zhang Sijiao, who donated a dragon and tiger guard to command the servant, but that is a title, not an official. In other words, the donation is an empty identity, similar to Wu Peifu after the Second Zhifeng War, he has become a marshal in and out, and there are various organs such as the Intelligence Department and the Secretariat around him, but in fact, what kind of handsome man is he? The same is true of this donor official, who donated a title to facilitate the dealings between merchants and the government and to be exempt from taxes, but it is delusional to want to rely on the donor to actually confer military positions.
Liu Zhengfeng is a non-rank general, plus a real position, I don't know the so-called Lord Zhang, it is enough to argue that this official is fake, and this Lord Zhang is a liar. Listening to Zheng Guobao's analysis, Liu Jing was also dumbfounded, and hurriedly said: "What can I do then?" My father is counting on the identity of this general to suppress the Songshan faction, if this is fake, then how can it be good? ”
Although the Liu family is a big family in Hengshan and has many tenants, Liu Zhengfeng is still quite jealous of the Songshan faction, especially the Zhensong army. After all, the other party is a regular army, and he is just a group of croppers, if there is a large-scale armed fight, even if he wins, I am afraid that every family will wear filial piety, and every household will cry and mourn. The pension alone is not a small amount, and it has completely scratched the face with the Songshan faction. Therefore, after receiving the secret report sent by Zheng Guobao, he just hurried to operate this title of general at any cost, and was not ready to tear it up.
Zheng Guobao said: "Sister Jing, don't be afraid, I'm here." Liu Jing nodded and said to Zheng Guobao: "Help me out, let's go and expose the kidnapper first and let him return the money." ”
Fang Cai's knee was quite heavy, but he was hit by the iron armor, and Liu Jing's legs and feet were not flexible now, so he had to lean on Zheng Guobao and be helped out by him. came out of the study and walked all the way to the front hall, but he didn't go far, Liu Jing sighed and hugged Zheng Guobao's body tightly in fright.
Zheng Guobao also saw clearly, it turned out that there were two dead bodies in front of him, and they were the servants of the Liu family.
"Who?" Liu Jing's shout alarmed the people hiding in the shadows, only to see a burly man in a yellow shirt turn out, holding a long sword in his hand, and blood was dripping from the sword.
"It turns out that there is another one, but it is a slippery one." When the man saw Liu Jing, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "It seems that Fang Cai has gone to have a private meeting with his lover, who are you?" ”
Liu Jing said angrily: "Where did you come from as a robber?" Dare to come to my house and kill someone? My dad can't spare you. ”
As soon as the man heard this, he knew that this was most likely Miss Liu Jing of Liu's Mansion, and when he searched Liu's Mansion just now, he was indeed missing this one, but he was not at home, and it turned out that he was going to a tryst with his lover at the hand-washing conference. I thought: This Liu Jing is going to die. But she was born so beautiful, even those fans at the foot of Shaomuro Mountain are not as good as her. Wouldn't it be a pity to kill with a sword? Why don't I enjoy it first and then bet on the front?
Immediately pointed at Liu Jing with his sword and said, "Ah! Your family's collusion with the Demon Sect is just around the corner. I am a dignified Songshan young man, a well-known figure in the rivers and lakes, if you are willing to be a slave with the master, and serve me comfortably, you may be able to stay for a life. As for the little white face next to you, it's a useless thing, far worse than the master. Come, I'll show you what a man is. "When you speak, you have to reach out and grab it.
At this time, Zheng Guobao took off a short gun from his waist and pointed at the man: "Bastard thing!" threw the sword and kowtowed to my sister Jing to make amends, otherwise no one in the heavens and the earth could save you, mouth and mouth! ”
The man from the Songshan faction didn't understand what Zheng Guobao meant at all, he only knew that he had bad intentions. The man had already seen it when Zheng Guobao picked it up, but this man had seen the firebolt and knew that this thing had to light the firerope before it could be shot. Seeing that this handsome boy has no fire rope in his hands, the fire gun is scrap iron, what use can it be? I think it's a gentleman, but I don't know where to get such a handcuff but I can't use it, and I use it to scare the turtles, so I don't care at all.
Seeing that the handcuff was pointed at him, the man laughed and said, "Boy, are you fucking crazy? Grandpa Wan Dashan is a good man of the Songshan faction, are you still afraid of this thing? Hurry up and bring it to me, and then kowtow to me to make amends, otherwise...... What do you say? Heaven and earth, no one can save you. ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to grab it, and a handcuff was sold to the Zhen Songjun, and it could also be exchanged for a lot of money, especially now that the Songshan faction implements a monetary austerity policy, everyone is having a hard time, and Wan Dashan is not in a hurry to go out to find extra money. How do you know that Zheng Guobao sneered: "Wan Dashan? Is your family a milkmaker? It's useless to do anything this time. Sister Jing closes her eyes! ”
While speaking, his fingers moved, and there was a muffled "bang", and Wan Dashan screamed, turned over and fell to the ground, and died of exhaustion. Zheng Guobao kicked the dead body, saw that the man was motionless, and sneered: "This is called a reed flint pistol, Franc machine goods, haven't you seen it?" Look at it as an arquebus, you deserve to be unlucky. ”
Liu Jing also saw this firearm for the first time, and was secretly surprised by the power of this thing. Urged Zheng Guobao to say: "Go find my mother and my brother." Are they also ....... And what you just said, it sounds like a madman. ”
Zheng Guobao thought for a moment and said, "It's okay." I think the Songshan faction wants to capture hostages, and the people who kill them are all subordinates, and they just want to capture you alive, my mother-in-law and my little brother, I think it's okay. I just said that, and that is the first madman in the world...... Ah no, it's a master, and the language used, you'll know later. ”
The two of them walked while talking, and came to the front hall, only to see that in the hall, there were dozens of Songshan disciples, and the Liu family was all here, and there was a Songshan disciple standing behind each person, holding a dagger behind him, against the back of the heart. The people in the hall stood on both sides, Liu Zhengfeng and a dozen children and some of the people who went to the banquet stood on the right side, and the others were on the left.
In the middle, a man who looked like a civil official and four attendants were pointing at each other and didn't know what to say. Seeing that this civil official was wearing a foot cover, but he was wearing a regular dress of Yunyan Buzi, and he was wearing a rhino horn belt of a seven-rank official tied around his waist. It's also unprofessional, and even the face of the entire Qianmen has been disgraced by you. Anyway, you go into a training class to learn and learn, and the flaws are not so obvious.
I saw that the civil official was facing Liu Zhengfeng and shouted loudly: "This official Zhang Wannian is ordered to patrol Huguang, with Shang Fang's sword and the king's flag. Big things are played, small things are decided. Liu Zhengfeng, I never expected that you would actually collude with the Demon Sect? Your official body shall be dismissed, your whole family shall be beheaded, your property shall be confiscated, and your wife and daughter shall be put into the church. Disciples of Liumen, hurry up and stand on the left, otherwise you will be treated as a thief. Didn't you hear that bang? That's the standard camp next to the official, and he has already entered the inner house, and he can't come back again, attacking back and forth, and his bones are shattered! ”
He shouted this way, and suddenly many guests who came to the banquet stood on the left. Only Xiang Danian, Mi Weiyi and others were still standing tightly in front of Liu Zhengfeng. At this time, I saw a short and fat man on the left, showing the small flag inlaid with jewels in his hand, "The Wuyue Ling Flag is here!" Wuyue Lingqi flutters in the wind, work together to sweep away the demons! Under the Wuyue Gate, seeing the flag is like seeing the alliance leader, and those who do not obey the orders of the alliance leader will be attacked by the five mountains! Hurry up! ”
With this shout, a few more disciples of the Liu Sect personally glanced at the master, but they couldn't help but walk to the left. Liu Jing said anxiously: "If this continues, my father's side is gone, and you should shout twice as soon as you are a national treasure." ”
Zheng Guobao smiled and said: "Good sister, if I shout, Bao Zhun is more terrifying than them, do you believe it or not?" ”
I saw him shouting with full luck: "Check the road!" Penalty! ”
He took the lead, and people on the left and right sides shouted: "That's right, check the way!" Fines, fines, fines! Those who have no money will be pulled to Jingshi Grange to cultivate and transform! ”
