Chapter 57: Zheng Bao
"Bang"
The crisp sound resounded in Chao County, the largest mansion garden.
A middle-aged man stood in a small pavilion, unable to look at the beautiful scenery around him, and split the fine porcelain in front of the case.
Two men with sharp beaks and monkey cheeks, showing terrified eyes, knelt on the ground and trembled.
"Twenty days, I gave you twenty days, where did all that money go" The middle-aged man almost roared, 100 gold is a million dollars. Around him, the Zheng clan has been entrenched in Chao County for countless years, and it is only a few thousand gold.
If it's usual, it's just fine, but now that the big thing is coming, it's the time when the money is bad, how can you turn a blind eye to it.
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, Zheng Bao roared at the two kneeling on the ground: "Are you derelict in your duties, or do you deliberately swallow it privately?"
"Do you still have my Chao County Zheng clan in your eyes? But remember the majesty of my Zheng clan," Zheng Bao shouted at the two men.
Listening to this roar, the two men trembled even more, and they knew the methods of the head of the house. The feeling that life is worse than death, just thinking about it can make people feel a biting chill: "Lord, lord spares life, even if we have the courage to dare it"
"Don't dare?" A hint of murderous intent flashed in Zheng Bao's eyes.
The two of them snorted at the same time: "These twenty days"
"The villain, the villain didn't get nothing, but he had some clues," one person hurriedly said to Zheng Bao.
Feeling the imminent breath of death, another person took over and explained to Zheng Bao: "Does the lord know about Changhe Village? ”
"Changhe Village?" Zheng Bao subconsciously repeated.
Feeling that the killing intent had weakened, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and continued: "It is Changhe Village, which is close to Chaohu Lake and protected by Baifan water thieves."
"Jia's? It's that remnant," Zheng Bao reacted immediately.
When the two heard the reply, they put their hearts down at the same time and looked at each other very tacitly.
"It is Jia Nian, the only bloodline of the Jia clan in Anhui County," one person explained to Zheng Bao.
Another person took over and continued: "Changhe Village is a small village with a population of no more than ten people, and it has developed rapidly in the past twenty days. I don't know how to get more than 200 old and weak women and children from the Baifan thieves, and they have hired a construction team in the county seat, and they are building and building on a large scale. The villain dared to speculate that the 100 gold might have been robbed by Jia Nian from Changhe Village."
"Anhui County Jia Clan" Zheng Bao's eyes were full of murderous energy.
One person said cautiously to Zheng Bao: "Do we want to cut the grass and eradicate the roots?" Although Jia Nian didn't know the reason for the fall of the Jia clan, it was hard to guarantee that it would not reach his ears. Once it is discovered by Lord Taishou, I'm afraid it will be complicated."
"My lord, please make a quick decision," the other said to Zheng Bao.
Zheng Bao's eyes flickered, and he subconsciously clenched his hand into a fist: "What a Jia bloodline"
"Don't talk about just one person, even if he is prosperous in the Jia family, how can he help the Zheng family in my Chao County" Zheng Bao said indignantly, now is the critical moment of planning, and the most taboo is to make extraneous branches.
Once it dominates Chaohu Lake and Chaoxian County, it will be able to rely on the vast fertile wasteland on the shore of Chaohu Lake to attract a large number of refugees and people. At that time, according to the strength of the Zheng clan, the formation of young and strong people will be able to gather an army of thousands in an instant.
In this troubled world, there is a strong army, not to mention that Lujiang is too guarded. Even if it is the imperial court, what can it do? Could it be that they will send troops to Chaohu? Do they dare to let go of the danger of local erosion, desperate for the sake of this projectile land?
Although the three generals of heaven, earth and man were destroyed, the general trend of the yellow turban has gone. But the world is not peaceful, and there are still many remnants of yellow turbans, entrenched everywhere in the world.
For example, the Gepo Yellow Turban not far away is the most powerful of them.
"Lord" A middle-aged man dressed as a scribe walked over and bowed to Zheng Bao.
Zheng Bao looked at the scribe, and his expression gradually eased: "What's the matter?" ”
"The Evil Waves and Water Thieves have sent someone to say that they are strapped for money, and I hope that the lord can allocate some money as soon as possible to help the emergency," the scribe said to Zheng Bao.
Zheng Bao fell into thought: "Lack of money? ”
"It is said that because of the sharp rise of various materials in Baifan Water Village, those scattered water thieves were short of money, and the evil wave water thieves relieved them according to the orders of the lord. So this comes and goes, and the money in the water village is at the bottom," the scribe replied to Zheng Bao.
After a slight pause, he continued: "Actually, it stands to reason that they will not be short of money, but the hundred gold ......"
At this point, the scribe stopped, and the meaning behind it was self-evident.
"I'm allocating fifty gold to them" Zheng Bao rubbed his forehead and felt a headache: "Remember, don't go through Baifan Water Village, transport it to that stronghold for me." Then let the water thieves stationed in the stronghold use a boat and transport them back to the water village."
"At this critical moment, you cheer me up, don't give birth to any unnecessary trouble," Zheng Bao instructed the scribe.
The scribe saluted Zheng Bao: "No"
"Wait" Seeing that the scribe was leaving, Zheng Bao called out to him.
Then he looked at the two people lying on the ground in disgust: "Take them down, maybe it will be useful to you"
"After sending the gold, tell the stronghold. It is possible that the huge amount of money was looted by Changhe Village, so let them be careful. Everything is important," Zheng Bao said to the scribe.
The scribe saluted Zheng Bao: "Yes"
"Get out" Zheng Bao glanced at the two people lying on the ground and spit out these two words at them.
The two hurriedly saluted Zheng Bao, turned around and walked outside the pavilion.
Looking at the backs of the three of them, Zheng Bao fell into thought.
……
Outside the garden, a man asked the scribe, "Sir, we guarantee that there is a great possibility that the 100 gold was robbed by Changhe Village."
"Changhe Village?" The scribe repeated in his mind.
Then he asked the two men: "But the village of the remnants of the Jia clan?" ”
"Exactly," one replied affirmatively to the scribe.
There was a contemptuous look in the scribe's eyes: "Old and weak women and children, crumbling dogs"
"I'll take it back for such a huge amount," the scribe said in a firm tone to the two men.
The two men glanced at each other, as if they had heard something from the words, and the corners of their mouths were full of meaningful smiles.
If this hundred gold is taken, it will definitely be divided by himself and others, even if this person takes half of it. But the remaining fifty gold is not a small amount.
The ancients said that if you don't die, there will be a blessing, and it seems that this sentence is not false at all.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this was the truth, and the smile on the corners of the two men's mouths became a little thicker. What is the purpose of being willing to become a servant of the Zheng family? It's not the gold yet.
The three of them quickened their pace and walked quickly forward. The sooner you finish this, the sooner you get the gold. So they don't delay any longer, so that they don't have many dreams at night.
If it is defeated by the small Changhe Village, there will be no oil and water.
