The captain of the patrol inspected the road guide certificate, which had the official seal on it, flipped it over and looked at it, and kept it in his hand, as if he did not intend to return it to the caravan captain.

The captain of the caravan was not in a hurry, took out a string of money from his waist and handed it to the captain of the patrol, and said with a smile: "Most of the carriages are empty, but some tea bricks have been transported, which means that I will honor you and you for a cup of tea, if you are not at ease, come and check carefully." ”

"Haha! You're very good on the road, so the inspection is exempt. The captain of the patrol took the string of money and said with a smile to the other patrolmen: "These are serious businessmen, there is a road guide under the official mansion, let them enter the city!" ”

The other patrolmen removed the stakes, and the carriage entered Yongping City without incident.

Zhang Yan didn't speak, just looked at this familiar and unfamiliar city, showed a wry smile, and the caravan gradually moved away from the city gate, and then took people out of the car and walked along the familiar path in the direction of the target.

I found a familiar Zhumen Inn, this store is a guest room upstairs, a hotel downstairs, people come and go, rows of diners on the wine table eat and drink, as well as singing, boxing, noisy and noisy.

The group followed Xiao Er to the upstairs house and rented four rooms.

Zhang Yan and the three brothers of life and death, the Black Flag Fanzi, and the captain disguised as a caravan, everyone gathered together and discussed briefly.

"Zhang Qianhu, I have arrived in Yongping City, there is a local family called Ping Ji Commercial Bank, which is a small business house opened by my friend, and I have always been taking care of it here, and it is not so eye-catching. You are now the owner of this caravan, your three brothers and the brothers of the Black Flag, they are all your guards, and someone will contact you later, you must remember. ”

The captain of the caravan then said: "I can only stay here for a long time, it will make people suspicious, and the day after tomorrow I will pretend to go out of the city to transport goods." ”

"I know." Zhang Yan and the others nodded.

At this time, the captain of the caravan took out a box, and saw that it was densely arranged, all of which were golden coins, and the crystals were shining and dazzling.

"Zhang Qianhu, this is the gold coin that the marshal handed over to you, three thousand gold coins!"

Zhang Yan's eyes straightened in an instant, three thousand gold coins, one gold coin is enough for an ordinary family to live for a year.

Zhang Yan has always been a horse bandit, dealing with all kinds of green forest heroes, and knows that the life of horse bandits in the mountains is very hard. Horse bandits robbery is all desperate, some can rob, some can't, the source of income is only to rob some merchant ships of goods sold in exchange for some money, the problem is that the looted property, have to endure the exploitation of black market merchants, can only be sold at about 30% of the price.

On the whole, ordinary horse bandits just eat with their mouths, and the little leader also gets a dozen copper coins a year, and only a few thousand copper coins make a profit in a year, and it is already very heavy to take these 3,000 gold coins as a gift.

Zhang Yan picked up the gold and said, "This is my original hometown, I know it very well, don't worry." ”

"Yongping City is the only place for Anping County to enter Yunxi County, close to the Kyoto Canal, it is normal for it to be prosperous here, but the checkpoint collects heavy taxes and has to endure all kinds of extortion." The captain of the Chamber of Commerce sighed.

"Hmph, these checkpoints have long been controlled by the local wealthy families, and the money obtained has been divided among local officials, and half of it can fall to the center of the empire, even if it is good, if it is not, we will not be so easy to pass through." Zhang Yan is someone who is familiar with this place, and said with a sneer.

Here are their old friends, some have been recruited, and they are patrolling in the local area, and some are washing their hands in a golden basin, and they live in seclusion here, and it is rumored that they are not doing very well.

In this case, I am afraid that it will be very effective to recruit them myself.

Originally, it was just a few acquaintances, but now during the great drought, the government has always squeezed out Zhao'an, especially looking down on people who were bandits in the past.

"The handsome man is the real hero, he will be able to achieve a career, and he will not stick to one pattern and never despise their past identity. Treat them with sincerity and entrust them with important responsibilities. We've been out there for a long time, and the more we feel like this! At this time, the accompanying black flag fanzi said with a smile.

"You're right." Zhang Yan thought of this period of time in the rebel army, and remembered her busy and poor life in the past, and agreed with this.

The talents they know will definitely not be used by the government, and these people will be buried, don't they want to show their talents! At this time, the rebels can be recruited.

Zhang Yan has a fire in her heart, this time not only to complete the trust of the marshal, but also to persuade some old friends who are still unwilling to abandon the secret and turn to the light, and give them a chance to display their talents.

However, he also knew the power of the government, so he didn't dare to startle the snake, and said to the brothers who accompanied him: "You can't start here easily, I'll give you a list, and you secretly inquire about the news on this list, whether it has been recruited, whether it has been reused, mark it." ”

Take it from your bosom
