Chapter 49 The Wei family, the first family in Zunyi
Wei Qi listened, there was no trace of nervousness, but he seemed very relaxed, he had already discussed these things with his father and some confidants, the reason why he didn't tell his two younger brothers was that he was worried about the sound of walking, and now the time was ripe, so Wei Qi explained to Wei Xie:
"The matter of opening the city gate, we did it cleanly, and all the blood relatives present knew that they were grasshoppers on a rope, and in order to prevent the truth from falling, Zhang Tiande also killed a few relatives who were on errands in the county government when he entered the city, and also burned a lot of our family's Zhuangzi, and others couldn't say anything, even if Zhang Tiande deliberately leaked it, we can use it to spread rumors to fool the past."
Speaking of this, the corners of Wei Qi's mouth hooked slightly, and he sneered: "Even if Zhang Tiande comes up with any evidence of our participation, do you say that the newly arrived county order is to cooperate with us, the Zunyi County clan, to suppress the bandits, or believe Zhang Tiande's nonsense and abandon himself?" ”
Wei Xie suddenly realized, cracked his big mouth and laughed, gave a thumbs up to the eldest brother and said, "High, really high!" In any case, our Wei family will not suffer, and we can even take the opportunity to become bigger, not to lose is the big brother! No wonder my father wants to bring us to the suburbs to intercept Hu County, I understand it now. ”
Wei Xin, the second eldest of the Wei family who was standing on the side, listened to it, and felt very uncomfortable, he was not convinced by his eldest brother Wei Qi when he was young, and felt that the other party was relying on his old man to pretend, and now he saw the third brother Wei Xie slapping the eldest brother like this, and he was even more angry, so he forked in a strange way:
"Hmph, what's the spirit, it's obviously our father's cleverness, what kind of credit does the eldest brother take blindly." He changed his tone again, turned his head and patted Wei Hejia on the back and said, "It's still our father who is so good that he can come up with such a brocade ..... "He wanted to think of a word in the book, but he couldn't say it when the words came to his lips.
"It's a clever idea." Wei Qi saw that Wei Xin was speechless, and his embarrassed face turned red, so he didn't care about the other party's sarcasm just now, and kindly reminded.
"Yes, a clever idea!" Wei Xin took advantage of the situation to get off the donkey: "It's like a military advisor in the script, with a wave of the fan, it is thousands of miles away, and it is transported... Transport...."
"Strategize," Wei Qi reminded again.
was reminded twice, Wei Xin was embarrassed to continue to talk no matter how thick-skinned he was, and the hatred of his eldest brother in his heart was even higher, and the more he looked at the other party's face, the more uncomfortable he felt.
Wei Hejia also took the opportunity to raise his hand to attract everyone's attention, so that the second son could step down, and then said: "Okay, okay, I estimate that the county order should be about to fall, get ready for me, cheer up, don't show your stuff outside" Then he narrowed his eyes, hid a flash of fierce light, and said:
"Although this new county order is the son of the guard, if there are only twenty or thirty soldiers with it, then let's follow the county order, let's talk about it well, and let him know who is the master of this Zunyi."
"Father rest assured," Wei Qi said kindly: "Zhuangzi's side has also been arranged." ”
Wei Hejia nodded, and asked again, "Is the yellow silk you prepared for rubbing ready?" ”
"Father, rest assured." Wei Qi presented the prepared yellow silk to his father:
"There is only a thin layer of yellow satin on this silk cloth, and the inside is white silk, as long as the new county order uses the official seal to rub on the yellow silk to verify the body, the white silk inside can also be rubbed, and the son is worried that the rubbing position may be wrong, especially the white silk inside is folded in half once, although it seems a little thick, but it is not a big problem, it can be fooled with materials and other issues, so that after rubbing, as long as the white silk on the opposite side is slightly cut, you can forge a blank official seal document."
"Well, that's good." Wei Hejia praised: "The boss has done a good job in these things, Wei Xin, Wei Xie, you should also study more like the eldest brother, don't fool around with fox friends and dog friends all day long, and ruin our family's reputation." ”
Wei Xin, Wei Xie listened, and quickly nodded yes, but Wei Xin admitted his mistake while a trace of resentment flashed in the corner of his eyes.
Wu Yunlin reluctantly rode his horse, slowly approaching Zunyi County one by one, completely unaware that his group had been planned by an old fox, and was waiting for him with a litter of little foxes sharpening knives.
"Your Excellency." The soldier who followed him on foot suddenly asked: "Let's go to Zunyi County soon, do you want to take a break here now and change into your official uniform, we can also take this opportunity to send someone to inform the officials of Zunyi County, and ask them to prepare meals and wait for your lordship." ”
Dumb and Zhao Kuo listened, and immediately responded: "Yes, my lord, we should really rest and rest first, and tidy up the appearance for the adults, but we can't lose our prestige in front of the villagers and let them despise the adults." ”
Wu Yunlin nodded, the villagers' first impression of themselves is indeed very important, and the grizzled ones really don't look good, so he said, "Okay, just stop and rest for a while." Then he took out three taels of silver from his pocket, leaned over and handed the soldier from his horse, and said:
"If the Lao brothers help the official deliver a message, this silver will be regarded as the thirst quenching money of the brothers."
The head of the soldier was overjoyed, he didn't expect the county order to be so good, unlike other officials, who read a lot of books, so he took the silver with both hands, and then turned around and shouted: "Dog, come here!" ”
Two young soldiers immediately ran over from the back team, with thick calluses on their hands, and at first glance they were peasant children who had no land at home and had to be soldiers to eat.
"Boss Zhou, what are you calling us for?" A soldier at the head asked innocently, and Wu Yunlin remembered by impression that everyone called this soldier stunned.
Zhou Bingtou threw a total of two taels of silver to the stunned man and the dog, and the remaining one or two were hidden in his hands, and he was not afraid that Wu Yunlin would find out, shouting:
"My lord, let the two of you go to the front to explore the way, go and tell the officials of Zunyi County that our adults will be there immediately, and give my brother a few hot dishes, do you hear?"
The second stunned put the silver in his mouth and bit it, then took it out and put it close to his body, smirked vigorously, forgot to reply, and the dog on the side carefully put the silver in his pocket, and then patted his chest and promised:
"I'll do something, don't worry, the adults and Boss Zhou are waiting here with confidence!"
Zhou Bingtou gave a stunned kick and scolded with a smile:
"Okay, don't be poor, go quickly, I will delay the adult's trip, I can't spare you two boys."
When the dog heard this, he hurriedly pulled the stunned man and hurried away.
Wu Yunlin glanced at Zhou Bingtou, he didn't care about these small actions, he just thought it was very interesting, this Zhou Bingtou didn't look like a soldier to fight, but like a running river, but it's right to think about it, the imperial court has been using soldiers for many years, and many of the establishments are incomplete, plus they eat empty salaries, and reselling weapons is serious, and it is reasonable for these soldiers in front of them to be not soldiers and bandits, uh, the way they treat them has to change, according to their appetite.
He turned over and dismounted, and was steadily followed by Dumb and Zhao Kuo, who had already dismounted from the donkey and waited aside, and just wanted to go to the side to change into official uniforms in a secret place, he saw Dumb and Zhao Kuo sticking up, and whispered:
"Master, the court didn't give us much money for the passage and money, and besides, it was also the master's power to order a few soldiers to report the news, so why bother..."
"Alas" Wu Yunlin interrupted, deliberately using a voice that was not too big or small for Zhou Bingtou to barely hear:
"I don't treat the brothers I follow as outsiders, so why should I care about my brothers? How many taels of silver do you count? ”
You care about a few taels of silver now, and call them at will, and when you meet bandits, they won't care about your life.
Zhou Bing pricked up his ears and barely heard it, and immediately felt that this adult was very kind.
After a while, I saw the dog and the second stunned man running back without red faces. Zhou Bingtou saw it, and thought that he wanted to be lazy, so he wanted to kick the dog when he walked up.
The dog immediately made a decision, jumped to the side, stood firm and explained: "Boss Zhou, there is an old man named Wei Hejia who claims to be a village sage in Zunyi County, leading a group of people to wait for us on the official road!" ”
Before Zhou Bingtou could speak, Wu Yunlin came over and said, "Could it be that the bandits are pretending?" Let's let our guard down and take the opportunity to do it? ”
"No, no," said the dog, waving his hand, "they have no anything on them, no calluses on their hands, their faces are very white, and the bandits are not so tender, and they drink the northwest wind in the woods every day, and their skin is rough and thick." At first glance, that group of people is a big eater of white noodles."
Wu Yunlin swallowed the sentence how do you know that bandits are nesting in the forest every day, and he didn't change his official uniform, turned around and worked hard to get on the horse, and said to Zhou Bingtou and the housekeeper: "Since the township sages of Zunyi County are waiting for us in front, we can't let them wait for a long time, pack up and go." ”
So a group of people, packed their belongings, carried their bags, and walked leisurely towards Wei Qi's position under the leadership of the dog and the second stunned man.
Wu Yunlin looked at the two people leading the way in front of him, and his heart moved, he had always had the idea of having a good relationship with this group of soldiers and buying people's hearts, and now the two soldiers who are exploring the way, Gou Zi and Er Stunned, seem to be two good young people, it is better to .....
Wu Yunlin thought of the wording in his heart, lightly pinched the horse's belly with his feet, sped up to the two of them, and asked, "Dog, Erzi, what are the real names of the two of you?" ”
When the dog heard this, he slowed down, scratched his head embarrassedly, and said shyly: "I'm called Li Datou, I don't have any decent name, and the people in the village say that the name is cheap, and the king of Yan doesn't accept it, so that he can feed." Then he smiled at Wu Yunlin.
The second stunned man nodded on the side and echoed: "My father is illiterate, and when I was born, the literate teacher in the village was just beaten by my father, so no one gave me a good name, so I was called Wang Suwa." After saying that, he lowered his head, a little embarrassed.
"How can it be done, people must have a decent name to live in the world." Then he said to the two who were ashamed:
"In this way, I'm the head of a county, so let's choose a good name for the two of you."
You can call you Liu Zhongshan. ”
Then he pointed to Wang Yuwa and said: "The word Leng is the same as "Leng", and the sub is homophonic "Zhi", so you are called Wang Lengzhi."
Liu Zhongshan, after Wang Lingzhi heard this, immediately stopped, knelt down on one knee and hugged Wu Yunlin and said: "Liu Zhongshan (Wang Lingzhi) Thank you for rewarding us with our names." ”
Everyone behind him also stared at the two with envious eyes, Liu Zhongshan, Wang Lingzhi, these two names are much better than dogs and stunned, and more importantly, they were rewarded by the county order, which was favored by the county order, and the future days are much more comfortable than them.
Wu Yunlin raised his fan falsely, signaling the two of them to get up and continue to lead the way, and in his heart, he thought about whether his move to buy people's hearts would be too obvious. He has never put his mentality in the position of the county commander, but he is like an activist who wants to break into a certain group, and there is no shelf of a superior at all.
Liu Zhongshan and Wang Lingzhi were in good spirits on happy occasions, and the pace under their feet was a little faster, and after a while, they led the team to the official road where Wei Hejia and the others were waiting.
"Dad" Wei Xie looked at Wu Yunlin and the others from a distance, counted three times in his heart, and after determining the number of the team, his eyes lit up and said: "Then the county order will bring twenty soldiers" He rubbed his hands and said: "When will I bring someone to inform Brother Zhang." ”
Wei Hejia said with a relaxed face: "Calm down, don't be so frizzy, it's very unwise to clash with the county order and a group of people now, don't forget that there are still a group of unwilling guys in the city who are eyeing us, let's invite the county order to the Wei family's compound first, don't conflict if you can't have a conflict, and when you get to the compound, your father has his own arrangements." ”
The second Wei Xin nodded and said, "That's it, dad knows in his heart, what are you looking for!" "He's been holding back the fire in his heart since just now, so now he arrests whom.
"You!" Wei Xiana could stand this, and just wanted to attack the second child, he was glared back by Wei Hejia, and then pulled back into the crowd by the eldest brother Wei Qi. In Wei Xin's eyes, it was Wei Xie who lost respect for his brother under Wei Qi's bewitchment, so the hatred for Wei Xie and Wei Qi in his heart was added.
