…

As soon as he entered the territory of Hangzhou, Chen Hoop felt the difference in the atmosphere.

Everywhere there is a movement to fight local tyrants and divide the land, and everywhere there is a hot recruitment of soldiers and people's husbands, and the faces of the people are not panicked and worried about being harassed by the military disaster, but only full of hope.

Chen and his entourage came to an intersection and saw a tea stall.

Chen hoop bucket walked over with a few disciples, first asked Dr. Tea for a pot of tea, and then Chen hoop bucket punched the four men dressed as literati at the tea stall: "Disturb." ”

Seeing this, a tall and thin literati hurriedly returned the salute: "I've seen the eldest brother." ”

As soon as the thin and tall literati opened his mouth, Chen Hoop Bucket judged that this person must not be an orthodox literati, otherwise it would be impossible to be so polite to himself from the bottom of his bones.

After a closer look, Chen Hoop Bucket was relieved.

Although these four people are dressed as standard literati, Chen Hoop Bucket quickly judged from the behavior of the four people, they must be the literati in the market who know a little about the history of books and ink, and it is very likely that they are the kind of low-level literati who usually write a book and make up a joke, and the young man in his twenties who looks smart and clever with a flute in his waist may not be a rap artist.

Chen Hoop said with a smile: "What do you call the four?" ”

The thin and tall literati hurriedly replied: "Xiao Ke Zhou Zan, the three of them are Wu Fang, Zheng Nan, and Hu Tu." ”

Chen hoop bucket and the four people re-greeted: "I have seen four talents." ”

As soon as Chen Hoop said this, except for the rap artist Hu Tu, the other three blushed at the same time.

Obviously, Zhou Zan and the three of them knew in their hearts that they were not worthy of the name of Xiucai.

Chen Hoop didn't mean to joke with the four of them, but as soon as his tone changed, he asked: "I don't seem to be disturbed by the Tiger Ben Army when I look at this place, so can Zhou Xiucai know the reason?" ”

Zhou Zan said with a smile: "General Huben governs the army strictly, and his troops will never disturb the people, so only the officials and gentry who do a lot of evil on weekdays are afraid of the Tiger Ben army, and we don't have to be afraid of it." ”

Chen Hoop Bucket smiled: "Oh? When he was on the ground, General Huben only killed the rich, not the poor? ”

Zhou Zan shook his head: "The rich are not killed casually, only the big traitors will be ambushed, like the Shanyin Shen Dashan people, the Tiger Ben Army not only did not commit any crimes against his family, but some thugs took advantage of the fire to rob Shen Dashan's house, and the Tiger Ben Army also sent troops to suppress the bandits." ”

Hu Tu felt that Chen Hoop Bucket was not an ordinary person, so he took over and said: "So that the eldest brother knows that the Tiger Ben Army has three no-kills and three must-kills." The three do not kill, those who surrender voluntarily do not kill, the family of great goodness does not kill, and those whose land does not exceed 100 acres do not kill. The three must be killed, those who resist stubbornly must be killed, those who resist righteousness in the Song Dynasty must be killed, and those who are full of evil must be killed. ”

Chen Hoop said secretly: "Those who surrender voluntarily will not be killed, those who resist stubbornly will be killed, and those who resist righteousness in the Song Dynasty will be killed, needless to say, there is no need to say, and the example is also." The great good family will not be killed, and those who are full of evil will be killed, and the good name will also be killed. Those whose land does not exceed 100 acres will not be killed, and there will be no more enemies. ”

Chen Hoop Bucket smiled—he was more and more optimistic about Li Cun.

Chen Hoop thanked Zhou Zan and Hu Tu, and then took the initiative to ask: "Why did the four Xiucai come to Hangzhou at this time?" ”

Hu Tu replied generously: "General Huben posted a list of talents, and the imperial examination was a beauty pageant, and the four of us took the exam." ”

Zhou Zan and the three of them listened to Hu Tu so calmly that they all lowered their heads.

I don't want to, but Chen Hoop said with a smile: "General Huben suddenly started at the end of the micro, and there must be a shortage of good materials to assist, and the four talents will be useful." ”

Hu Tu smiled: "I also thought about it, so I invited the third brother to vote for it." ”

Hu Tu asked again: "What is the eldest brother doing in Hangzhou?" ”

Chen Hoop said with a smile: "I also came to defect to General Huben. ”

At this time, a group of people suddenly came not far away.

There were 180 men and horses, including men and women, old and young, and what was more noticeable was that there were more than 20 horses in this group of people, as well as many cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs, chickens, ducks, livestock, and poultry.

Chen Hoop Bucket could see at a glance that this group of people must be thieves, and they were thieves with a lot of blood on their hands.

At the same time that Chen Hoop Bucket looked at this gang of thieves, the leader of this gang of thieves, a black and short stocky man, also looked at Chen Hoop Bucket.

When the thief saw the appearance of Chen Hoop Bucket clearly, he was stunned at first, and then reacted, and the thief immediately jumped off the horse, and then walked towards Chen Hoop Bucket.

When he came to the front of Chen Hoop Bucket, the thief head bowed directly: "I've seen the eldest brother, but the eldest brother went to join General Huben, how about we together?" ”

Chen Hoop Bucket smiled: "The owner of the village knows me? ”

The thief saw that Chen Hoop had guessed his identity, and he no longer hid it, and said with a smile: "Xiao Ke Qi Fang, I saw Brother Chen from afar in Chuzhou in my early years. ”

Chen hoop barrel estimated that Qi Fang should not have mixed well at that time, otherwise, it would be impossible not to greet him, after all, he has no notoriety in the rivers and lakes, and he has never been disgusted with strongmen.

However, Chen Hoop Bucket did not despise Qi Fang because of this, there are talented people in the rivers and lakes, how can a wise man like Chen Hoop Bucket not understand the simple truth of never underestimating young people?

Chen hoop bucket smiled: "Didn't I steal the dog and was hit by the owner of the village, so the owner didn't come forward to have a drink with me?" ”

Chen was imprisoned for stealing other people's dogs in his early years, and later his apprentices gathered some people to rob him before he was rescued.

Chen Hoop Bucket was also Fang La who met during that time, and he also analyzed the situation of the uprising for Fang La.

Seeing that Chen Hoop Bucket used a self-deprecating joke to resolve his embarrassment, Qi Fang became more and more in awe of Chen Hoop Bucket, a wise man with great fame in the rivers and lakes.

Chen Hoop Bucket chatted with Qi Fang for a few more words, and Qi Fang invited Chen Hoop Bucket to vote for Li Cun again.

This time, Chen Hoop did not refuse, and then he invited Zhou Zan, Wu Fang, Zheng Nan and Hu Tu to go together.

As soon as the group arrived at the city gate of Hangzhou, they saw a grand welcome ceremony on both sides of the city gate, and a man who had been waiting for a long time walked directly towards Chen Hoop Bucket.

Chen hoop bucket looked at it, this person walked with extraordinary eyes, and said secretly: "The person I am looking for is here." ”

Li Cun greeted him and laughed loudly: "Mr. Chen! Mr. Chen! Mr. Chen! Li Cun finally looked forward to Mr. Chen! ”

Although Chen Hoop Bucket knew that Li Cun must be a thousand gold to buy bones, but seeing Li Cun greet him with such a high standard, Chen Hoop Bucket was still very moved.

Chen hoop bucket bowed to the ground: "The reputation of the general Lixian corporal is really worthy of its reputation, Chen hoop barrel is just a hoop cooper, the general is still so courteous, the world's heroes come to vote, and they will be reused by the general!" ”

Chen Hoop said it to Li Cun's heart with one mouth.

Although in history, Chen hoop bucket gave Fang La "kill the emblem, strictly demonstrate, drive across the river for a long time, and tie people's hearts to Chang'an Er." It is believed that Fang La would not fail if he listened to his strategy, but on the basis of facts, with Chen Hoop's identity and fame, he was actually not worthy of such a high-level courtesy from Li Cun.

But then again, it is precisely because of this that Chen hoop bucket is suitable for thousands of dollars to buy bones.

Li Cun stepped forward to help Chen Hoop Bucket up, and said: "The world is still like a bucket board, if you can hoop it, you will close, and if you can't hoop it, you will leave." How can Mr. be that hoop coomer, it is actually Li Cun's Lu Jiaye. ”

If Li Cun has moved Chen Hoop Bucket by putting on such a big posture to greet Chen Hoop Bucket, then Li Cun said Chen Hoop Bucket's famous words in one bite, and also compared Chen Hoop Bucket to Lu Jia, which can be said to have penetrated Chen Hoop Bucket's heart at once.

- How could such a smart person as Chen Hoop Bucket not see that Li Cun is no longer just buying bones, but really knows his talent, and is really ready to use him, and is really ready to reuse him.

Maxima often has, but Bole does not often have.

Chen hoop bucket felt that his thousand-mile horse had finally met Bole.

Chen Hoop didn't say anything more, but solemnly tidied up his clothes, and then respectfully bowed to Li Cun again.

Li Cun did not rush to pick up the hoop bucket this time, but stood in place and accepted the worship of the hoop bucket.

After worshipping, Chen Hoop Bucket naturally walked to Li Cun's side and stood still, and Li Cun also had a tacit understanding that he no longer looked at Chen Hoop Bucket, but looked at Qi Fang: "I have strict military regulations here, are you willing to bear it?" ”

Qi Fang bowed and said: "The general avenges the villain, the villain's life is the general's, and the villain has not hesitated to order, not to mention the military regulations?" ”

Li Cun didn't say anything more, but said: "You go to Bingcao to find Zhang Dujian, and he will arrange for you to wait for enlistment." ”

Qi Fang didn't talk nonsense, and responded directly: "No! ”

Then Qi Fang and his gang went to Bingcao with Li Cun's personal soldiers to find Zhang Shi.

Li Cun looked at Zhou Zan, Wu Fang, Zheng Nan and Hu Tu again, and asked politely, "Who are the four gentlemen?" ”

All four of them were a little reserved, even Hutu, who could speak well.

Seeing this, Chen Hoopou replied for the four of them: "These four talents are the people who came to participate in the imperial examination of my Tiger Ben Army. ”

As soon as Li Cun heard Chen Hoop Bucket call the four of them Xiucai, and then saw that the four of them couldn't even hold up this identity, he guessed that the level of the four of them should be very average.

But just as Chen Hoop Bucket had predicted before, Li Cun still said enthusiastically: "I have ordered someone to set up a banquet in the post house, and everyone who comes to my Tiger Benjun can drink freely, and the four of them can rest in the post house for three days, and the 23rd of this month will be on time for scientific research." ”

Seeing that Li Cun was still so enthusiastic, the four of them were all secretly relieved.

The honest Zheng Nan couldn't help but ask: "Dare to ask the general, ...... questions in this exam"

Before Zheng Nan finished speaking, Wu Fang touched Zheng Nan without a trace.

Zheng Nan realized that he had said the wrong thing, how could he ask Li Cun if the exam questions were difficult, didn't he obviously tell Li Cun that his level was not good.

Who thinks, Li Cun laughed: "This is the first imperial examination of my Tiger Ben Army, just to recruit talents, you can rest assured to take the exam." ”

Li Cun almost said: "You go to the test, no matter what you do in the test, I will definitely use yours." ”

Li Cun: This must have relaxed the admission policy.

But then again, these people can come to the Tiger Benjun to participate in the imperial examination at this time, which itself has passed a very important hurdle, and they should be encouraged.

Moreover, anyone who dares to participate in the imperial examination must be literate at worst, which is enough to be a talent in the Tiger Army.

That's why Li Cun promised in public.

- Actually, Li Cun is not absent, and hopes that these people can call some people to participate in the imperial examination held by him.

When the four of them heard this, they were all overjoyed and hurriedly thanked Li Cun.

Li Cun sent Zhou Zan, Wu Fang, Zheng Nan and Hu Tu to the post house to settle down, and then took Chen Hoop Bucket home to discuss the matter of going north......
