"Your Excellency."

There was a very clever soldier who brought two small benches, placed them next to Wu Nian and Zhang Jin, and bent down to salute.

Wu Nian and Zhang Jin were also used to being uncles, so they sat down unceremoniously.

With nothing to do, the two continued to watch the flow of people coming in and out of the city gate.

"Brother. Mengyuan people are very tough, they have been fishing and hunting for generations, living in poor mountains and bad waters, with a tough personality and not afraid of death. ”

"But rumors say they weren't that good at first."

After looking at it for a while, Wu Nian put his hand on his knees, turned his head and said to Zhang Jin.

"Yes." When Zhang Jin talked about this, he looked angry and said: "The Mengyuan people were originally a scattered tribe, and when they raised their troops, they only had a few thousand people, and then they grew rapidly. ”

"On the one hand, there are some generals in Liaodong, who are self-respecting. Tolerate and nurture adultery to the Mengyuan people. On the other hand, some big forces in the Central Plains secretly transported ironware, grain, and cloth to the north in exchange for pearls and gold from the Mengyuan people. To put it bluntly, now that the Mengyuan people are so powerful, they were created by these traitors in the Chu State. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Jin looked up at the gate of the city, sneered and said, "Maybe among these caravans coming in and out, there are materials sold to the Mengyuan people." ”

Wu Nian nodded, the expression on his face was very deep.

A thinker once said.

With a 50 percent profit, you can make a businessman take a risk.

With double the profits, the merchants can trample on all the laws.

With three times the profits, the merchants dared to risk going to the gallows.

Since ancient times, empires have mostly collapsed internally.

Liaodong is not only a problem of Liaodong. Mengyuan people are not only Mengyuan people's problem.

The topic was really heavy, and Wu Nian didn't continue. They waited quietly for about half an hour.

Li Yong and Zhang Sheng came back.

Wu Nian patted his ass and stood up, looking at Li Yong, his brows furrowed slightly.

Li Yong's expression was a little ugly.

Wu Nian immediately knew that the other party was probably not easy to mess with, very difficult to mess with.

"Say it." Wu Nian's eyes flickered with coldness, and he said in a deep voice.

"Lord Xiaoqi." Li Yong sighed, bent over Wu Nian, and said, "The merchant surnamed Zhang is just a house slave pushed to the front row, not worth mentioning. This person who sells horses is surnamed Zhang and is called Zhang Youwei. ”

Wu Nian's face instantly became gloomy, but his waist straightened, like a javelin, rising from the ground.

"Is it half of the sheet?" Zhang Jin frowned and said in a deep voice.

The rest of the entourage, who knew it, were in a commotion, and those who didn't know were very dazed.

Half of the sheet is a nickname.

It means that half of the county seat of this Jiang County is surnamed Zhang.

Of course, this is a lot of moisture, and it belongs to bragging. But many people agree, proving that this half of Zhang has the weight of Jiang County.

The fields outside Jiangxian County, the shops and businesses in the city, how many surnames Zhang has, I can't count them.

Such a powerful family, of course, is not just a local snake.

Read.

The state of Chu selected talents to be officials through the imperial examination, and the emperor and scholars ruled the world, and the military was ruled by literature and martial arts. There is no interest in being a soldier, and reading is Zhuang Kang Avenue.

It's like the 100 Golden Man City of Beishan Fort. Although his family is a military household, he eats and drinks spicy food, and he is the emperor of the soil in the small place of Beishan Fort.

But Jin Mancheng sharpened his head, sent his son to study, won the show, broke away from the military household, and became a civilian household.

This is looking forward to raising his son into a golden phoenix and making the Jin family shine. As a result, the son was killed by a tiger, and the city of Golden Man went crazy.

At present, there are still hundreds of official positions in Jinman City, and I don't know when I will be handed off by the imperial court.

Half of Zhang has money, how can he not go through the imperial examination? I heard that someone in the Zhang family was a Beijing official in the court, and two were released as magistrates.

It's really an official family, a scholarly family.

There are people in this officialdom who have money themselves, plus local forces, and house slaves. This formed half of the Zhang, who dominated Jiang County.

Such a person, when Jinman City encounters it, he can only pinch his nose and admit it.

Even if the money is swallowed, he will kneel down and call his father, and beg for mercy.

Wu Nian is a small flag, and he is a big character with sesame mung beans.

How to fight with half of the fight?

It's no wonder that Li Yong's face is so ugly and unspeakable.

"Hahaha." In front of everyone's eyes, Wu Nian suddenly laughed, hahaha laughed, his voice was like a drum, heavy and powerful.

The people who entered and exited the city gate all around cast strange eyes.

It also caused the surprise of his subordinates.

"Lord Xiaoqi, are you mad?"

Only Zhang Jin heard the laughter of this brother, only heroic, did not flinch, and would not be crazy.

"Brother, what do you want to do?" Zhang Jin asked in a deep voice.

He's not a really reckless man.

It's like when he faced the bandits, his power was weak, so he was going to swallow his anger. If he is allowed to call the shots, this matter will have to be pondered.

The odds are fifty percent, so do it.

The odds of winning are 30%, and it seems that you can be reckless.

If you have a chance of winning, you can also fight it.

There is no chance of winning this, so you can only pinch your nose and admit it.

Small flag and half of the Zhang, this special code has no chance of winning at all.

But Zhang Jin had seen Wu Nian's courage and courage to climb the cliff with his own eyes, and he was ashamed of his indomitable momentum.

He thinks he is a hero, and he wanted to wait for the troubled times to rise together. But now he is subordinate to Wu Nian and is a soldier for Wu Nian.

It's just that I recognized Wu Nian.

He was full of confidence in Wu Nian.

As Zhang Jin thought, Wu Nian was certainly not crazy, nor was he afraid, but full of energy.

But the opponent was too strong, and he didn't have any plan for a while, so he couldn't answer Zhang Jin's question. After thinking for a while, Wu Nian raised his head and asked Li Yong, "Where are our people now?" Dead, or detained? ”

Let's talk about the rest next, get the people out first.

Wu Nian cares about the money, but he cares more about people.

And if you fish out the people first, your own people will increase, and your actions will be more calm.

Li Yong has been with Wu Nian for so long, and he knows a little about Wu Nian's temper. After hearing Wu Nian's words, he knew that this Lord Xiaoqi was resolute not to bow his head.

He sighed and said, "The materials bought by Li Sheng and the others, as well as the money they carried with them, are missing, and they are estimated to have been taken away by the Zhang family." ”

"The Zhang family didn't kill them, that's too appalling. They are scholars, and they can't do things like killing people in person. ”

"However, the Zhang family has colluded with the county magistrate of Jiang County. The county order ordered the arrest and quickly detained Li Sheng and the others in prison. No convictions have been made. But there is no excuse for the sin that you want to add. It is difficult to sentence and decide, but it is also easy to exile 3,000 miles to fill the army. ”

Everyone present swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and there was a commotion again.

Half of the special code, plus a local county order.

It's crazy too.

Lord Xiaoqi, let's go. It's too dangerous outside, but Fort North is safe.
