Chapter 1152: The City Is About to Be Destroyed (End of this Volume)
In the year 401 of the Qing National Calendar, in March, Ren County was the county seat, and the snow was about to melt.
In the county town, the snow on the streets has long been cleared, and it has been transported out of the city and piled up in some farmland.
Early in the morning, the cold breath of spring just started, and the four thickly dressed catchers went to the yamen to report, so they received the task, went to the East Street to patrol with knives, and had breakfast on the street by the way. happened to encounter a roadside stall with tofu brain and fried dough sticks, which was opened, and there were seats, and the four of them ate here.
"How many masters, what do you want to eat?"
"Four bowls of tofu brain, three fritters per person, I have a treat today!"
"Okay, please wait, you'll be fine right away!"
The vendor went to serve the hot tofu brain, and told the mother-in-law to fry the fritters quickly. The bowl of tofu brain was very large, half more than usual, with brine, dripping cooked oil, and sprinkled with dried green onion foam. The fritters are as good as one and a half on a regular day.
"Everyone just gave out the full sound and the bonus, thanks to Zhao Tou'er, it stands to reason that we should have invited it, how embarrassing it is-" said a catcher.
"Yes, I'll invite you today!"
"One person invites a breakfast, follow Zhao Tou'er, are you afraid that there will be no bonus to get?"
The three catchers quickly said a word to me, and took the job of inviting you to breakfast.
Zhao Tou'er, in fact, is Zhao Bow and Arrow, in the county government, he is a temporary worker to catch fast, not to catch the head, but because of his excellent force and superb gun skills, he and his team have made a lot of meritorious contributions to catch fast, and the money and bonuses are much more than usual, and many people are grateful to Dade and are willing to go out on a mission with him.
In the middle of last year, Zhao Erbao and Zhao Falcon, who had been on temporary errands in Yamen for ten months, successfully retired and resigned from their identities as fast catchers. Since then. Zhao Tiedan then took the newcomer Zhao Bow and Arrow and Zhao Hound in rotation, after teaching for a month. also resigned as a fast catcher.
After a few months of training, Zhao Gongjian and Zhao Houhou, father and son, retreated from the rustic. gradually integrated into the local area, and now they are leading a small team of catchers to go out on the task, and they have performed well, and they have quickly won the support of the catchers in the team.
When Zhao Gongjian heard this, he said with satisfaction: "Okay, then I'll give you a chance, but I won't take it as an example!"
Three catchers scrambled, and one won. And happy.
It is said that the three catchers followed him for several months, and in addition to the benefits of the full distribution of the money, the bonus of one person also had a few silver coins. It's not that Zhao Gongjian can see that someone is invited to eat tofu brain, but a way to connect with the catchers. After inviting guests, the catchers were relieved to follow him.
The four of them went on a mission for half a month, and they were all on East Street.
After breakfast, the entertainer dropped some copper coins, and the price did not change. It is not uncommon for hawkers to be grateful to Dade for his gift. For street vendors, if the yamen catches fast and the martial arts hall disciples can give a cost, then it can be regarded as burning high incense.
When the four of them passed by the 'Yonghe Hall'. Seeing that the bamboo curtain had been lowered, a catcher quickly said, "Zhao Tou'er, do you want to go in and say hello?"
From more than a year ago to now. There are five good players in the Yamen Hunting, Zhao Erbao, Zhao Tiedan, and Zhao Falcon. Now we have to add Zhao Bow and Arrow, Zhao Hound Dog father and son, all of them are superhuman. Superb marksmanship. The catchers did not lack eyesight, and saw that the five of them were all martial artists, and they were martial artists who might be comparable to Jiang Chao and Li Hurfeng, which was acquiesced by the county lieutenant.
The five of them had fought against the hall masters and deputy hall masters of the Tiger Martial Arts Pavilion, and all of them won easily, and the two martial arts halls could not be suppressed, and they also lost a lot of manpower. They only had to fight Jiang Chao and Li Hurfeng, but unfortunately these two didn't show up at all.
And everyone knows that the five are all from the 'Yonghe Hall'.
This made 'Yonghetang' more mysterious among the disciples of the Hunting Fast and Martial Arts Hall, and his status increased, and he did not dare to be presumptuous.
Zhao Gongjian nodded and said, "Brothers, wait a minute!"
"Zhao Tou'er, go ahead!"
"It's more important to see Zhang Ye!"
“――”
Every day, when Zhao Gongjian leads the catchers to pass by, they have to go in, and today is no exception.
Before anyone arrived, the bamboo curtain was lifted, and a young man with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes who was only seventeen or eighteen years old walked out.
"Xiao Zhong, is the master busy?"
The little guy hurriedly saluted Zhao with a bow and arrow: "The master is receiving Li Yuanwai, there is something else to leave, if Steward Zhao comes, go directly to the backyard, no need to greet." ”
Early in the morning reception Li Yuanwai?
Zhao Gongjian nodded, didn't enter the door, and went directly to the gate of Zhangfu on the side, and now there is a plaque in the small village, and there are more people.
Since everyone went to Yamen for training, Zhang Fu bought more than a dozen young men and girls as subordinates among the refugees who emerged outside the city. These people have an innocent background and are highly malleable. The little guy named Xiao Zhong in front of him was more clever and simply literate, so he was arranged to 'Yonghe Hall' to clean the medicine hall and receive guests.
The concierge also has a special guard, the horses and mules are also taken care of, vegetables, melons and fruits are also purchased, Xu Qing also has a little maid by his side, Zhao and Zhao Lanlan are also promoted to manage the maids, and Aunt Zhao is in charge of the children. Not only that, Zhao Erbao became the head of the inner government, Zhao Gongjian became the housekeeper of the outer government, Zhao Tiedan was responsible for the safety of Zhang Fu and Zhang Weidong, Zhao Falcon and Zhao Hound assisted Zhao Tiedan, and at the same time, simply trained a group of subordinates to give them the ability to defend themselves.
In this way, there are already thirty or forty people in the small Zhang Mansion.
However, Zhang Weidong doesn't care about these trivial matters, he only sits in the medicine hall, and Xu Qinglai is responsible for all the big and small affairs and accounts in the house, this woman is tired of it, and the management is in good order.
With so many people, the expenditure in January is not small, enough for 1 gold coin, all supported by 'Yonghetang' and Zhang Weidong alone. Fortunately, 'Yonghetang' has established a reputation among the upper-level people in Ren County, and even some businessmen have come to see the doctor, and the net income of this month is 10 gold coins, so that Mrs. Zhang will not worry about Zhang's house not making ends meet.
However, as a person who shares the same bed, Xu Qing still found that Zhang Weidong had changed.
It seems that he has lost a lot of weight than before, and he no longer teaches everyone, or uses force, but only occasionally makes a few words. Zhang Weidong is more like an elegant doctor, soaking in the medicine hall, concocting medicinal materials, reading medical books, drinking expensive tea, and treating people. The number of times I go out has been greatly reduced, but the amount of food has increased significantly.
Xu Qing asked many times. Zhang Weidong coped with it.
In April, a sudden news made many people panic.
The county government issued an order. Huang Xianling and Zhang Xiancheng were transferred from the county, Hu Caiying entered the city, began to recruit troops, and the generals moved into the county office, and the military and political affairs were grasped, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense. The county lieutenant Zheng also took on the errand, was promoted to an official, and became a county magistrate, but he was an assistant to the general in managing the county political affairs.
The appointment is issued. Zhao Gongjian and Zhao Hougou father and son went out under the pretext of going out, and hurriedly returned to Zhang's mansion to report the news.
Zhang Weidong also noticed that the atmosphere in the city was weird, but unfortunately, there was no unfavorable news from the front line, but a small confrontation was commonplace.
"The medicine hall is closed, bow and arrow, you and I will go back to the backyard, besides. Please the chief and the chief of the guard!" Zhang Weidong asked Zhao Gongjian a few words, and then ordered the little servant to close the door.
Early in the morning, the medicine hall opened and closed, which was unusual in itself.
Kung Fu for a while. In the main room, Xu Qing, Zhao Lanlan, Zhao Erbao, Zhao Tiedan, Zhao Bow and Arrow, Zhao Falcon, Zhao Hound Dog, Zhang Weidong, and the important people of Zhang's Mansion are all together.
Zhao Gongjian and Zhao Hound father and son were in a hurry to come back. I haven't changed my clothes yet. Zhang Weidong asked Zhao Gongjian to talk about the personnel changes in the county government, and everyone felt depressed.
"Gather everyone. It's that the county has changed, and the border may have changed. Ren County is afraid that it will not be safe, so everyone has to find a way out in advance, that is, to move again and leave Ren County!" Zhang Weidong swept everyone and pointed out the theme.
"Leaving Ren County, Brother Zhang, is the situation really so critical?" Xu Qing asked in shock.
Zhang Weidong shook his head and said: "I hope not, but Hu Qiying's interference in political affairs is definitely not good news, and it will only be the case in times of emergency." ”
After all, I have lived for more than a year before I adapted to the environment of Ren County, and I am somewhat reluctant. No matter how bad Ren County is, there is also a home here, and if you want to move, this family will have to give up.
"Isn't there any news from the border war?" Zhao Erbao asked after thinking for a while.
Zhao Gongjian replied: "Even if there is, the hound and I are just catching fast, and we can't get in touch with the news above, and the recent inspection of entering and leaving the city gate is much stricter than usual, it is said that in order to prevent traitors and tricks from entering Ren County to cause sabotage!"
Zhang Weidong saw that Zhao Tiedan didn't say a word, so he said, "Tiedan, what do you want to say?"
Zhao Tiedan was stunned for a moment and said: "I listen to the master, the master often says that a gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, since he wants to leave, then leave in advance, otherwise once there is major unfavorable news back, he will not be able to leave if he wants to." Moreover, the number of wounded soldiers is increasing every month, which also shows that Ren County is not safe. I'm still thinking about a question, with the identity and status of the master, as well as his medical skills, will the Hu Qiying camp let the master leave? If you want to leave, I'm afraid you will have to find another opportunity to leave quietly!"
'Yonghetang' treated the wounded soldiers and made great contributions, Zhang Weidong had superb medical skills, and he was faintly above the other seven major medicine halls in Ren County, ranking first.
If Zhang Weidong wants to move away from Ren County, it will inevitably affect some people, and people's hearts will be unstable and Ren County will be unstable.
Zhang Weidong glanced at him appreciatively, Zhao Tiedan didn't talk much, but he grew up quickly. Xu Qing and the others probably didn't expect this question, but Zhao Tiedan thought of it.
"Tie Dan is right, we have to go, we have to think of another way!"
Xu Qing hesitated and said, "Brother Zhang, where are we going?"
"Leave Qingguo and pass through Qi Kingdom, either to the Liuxiang Dynasty or to the Great Qin Kingdom!" Zhang Weidong said. "Xiaoqing, choose one of the two, where do you think we can go safer?"
"Great Qin State?"
"Then the Great Qin Kingdom!" Zhang Weidong found that at the mention of the Great Qin Kingdom, a complicated look flashed on Xu Qing's face.
At night, a catcher who had changed into civilian clothes came to the door, bringing the customs clearance document issued by the county lieutenant Zheng, or the order of Zheng County, a private letter, and a note, on which there were only two words: leave the county quickly. The word is the word of Zheng County Lieutenant, and Zhang Weidong recognized it at a glance, which is a proof.
Speaking of which, Zheng County Lieutenant is now a third-rate martial artist, thanks to Zhang Weidong's support and guidance, he can be regarded as a registered disciple. Now, County Lieutenant Zheng also knows how to repay his kindness, which makes Zhang Weidong very satisfied.
The catcher said: "My lord said, at three o'clock tonight, the south gate will open a stick of incense, and then Zhang Ye will leave quickly, and the border will change!"
Zhang Weidong asked, "What about your family?"
"The adults and the lady can't leave, let Zhang Ye take care! Time is limited, the little one is leaving!"
"Wait!" Zhang Weidong rewarded this person with a few silver coins and asked his subordinates to send them out.
Zhang Weidong went back to the house, quickly wrote a letter, sealed it, and separated two packets of medicinal herbs, awakening Zhao Bow and Arrow and Zhao Hound Dog, just as their clothes could be borrowed.
"Sir!"
"Hound dog, you will personally deliver this letter and these two packets of medicinal herbs to Lord Zheng, and ride a horse! Bow and arrow, the focus of your task, to settle the grievances with the tiger, no important people are left, you must act quietly, arrange your own time, and rush to the south gate at three o'clock, can you do it?" Zhang Weidong instructed.
"Don't worry, sir, it's just a matter of the tiger being the rudder of the county!" Zhao Gongjian sneered.
"Be careful!" Zhang Weidong nodded and watched the two leave.
After more than a year of hibernation, now there is a showdown, there is revenge, there are grievances and complaints, and there are absolutely no regrets. The seven martial artists of Zhangfu are not known to outsiders, they only think they are third-rate martial artists, but in fact, they have already stepped into the second-rate. With the second-rate to the third-rate, there is mental calculation and no intention, and Zhao Gongjian has a great grasp of this trip.
got rid of the important people in the Tiger Martial Arts Pavilion, and also cleaned up a major insecurity factor for County Lieutenant Zheng.
Zhang Weidong woke up everyone again and announced the news of moving out overnight, but everyone was shocked, but they moved much faster, led the carriage, and packed up the important materials. (To be continued.) )
