Imperial capital, in the study of the right prime minister's mansion.

Zhuge Mu dozed off on a pile of papers.

In the courtyard, a loud voice came: "Right phase, right phase!" ”

With a snap, the door was pushed open, and Xu Shiyou walked in quickly.

Zhuge Mu was suddenly awakened, his face full of worry, "What's the matter, something happened to the emperor again?" ”

Xu Shiyou waved his hand, a little excited: "Han Jun has a letter!" ”

"The letter said that the emperor left Jing'an Mansion, and the people saw him off for thirty miles, such a scene has not been seen in 50 years!"

"Whew, scare me." Zhuge Mu breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head with a wry smile, "The emperor arrested twenty officials in one go, and the entire Jing'an Yamen was cleaned, can the people not be grateful." ”

Xu Shiyou sighed again: "What's even more relieving is that the son of the Li family was cut off by the emperor, and then thrown into the street and torn apart by the people. ”

"That's the consequence of arousing public outrage." Zhuge Mu paused and asked, "Did you mention the emperor's next itinerary in your heart?" ”

"The letter said that the emperor was going to Tianzhou Mansion."

Zhuge Mu was stunned for a moment, "The two rivers are separated by a mansion, and the other is a province in Yunzhou, and the road to Zhoufu is not easy to walk on this day." ”

"Yes, I heard that Tianzhou Mansion is asking the court for money again, right?" Xu Shiyou asked.

"Alas, every year to control the water, you have to do it once a year at this time." Zhuge Mu said helplessly: "In a few days, the silver taels that govern the river will be transferred again." ”

……

Far on the other side.

Wei Zhuang was standing on the riverside wharf, looking far away, and in front of him was Tianzhou Mansion.

He took a few deep breaths, feeling very good.

At this time, someone stepped forward to talk.

"Little brother, do you also want to take a boat to Tianzhou Mansion?"

Wei Zhuang followed the sound and saw a middle-aged man with kind eyebrows and gorgeous clothes walking towards him with a group of people.

"Yes, how many?" Wei Zhuang asked.

The man smiled and arched his hand, "My name is Jiang Qingshan, and he is a merchant who came to Tianzhou Mansion, and these are all friends who do business with me." ”

"Oh, Boss Jiang, I'm glad to be." Wei Zhuang returned the salute and asked, "I don't know what happened to Boss Jiang?" ”

"Hehe, that's right. The boat crossing the river in Tianzhou Mansion is a trip of ten people, and there are only eight of us, so I want to invite two of us to board, and we will leave immediately. I wonder if you two are willing? ”

Wei Zhuang smiled and glanced at the few people behind him, and when he saw that there was nothing abnormal, he agreed.

The boat crossing the river was quite large, and including the crew, it could accommodate a dozen people in total.

On the deck, Wei Zhuang and Jiang Qingshan were talking.

"Where are Brother Wei Zhuang from?" Jiang Qingshan asked. Wei Zhuang is a pseudonym for Wei Zhuang.

"Down there are people from the imperial capital."

"The imperial capital, I often go over there to do business, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, it is very prosperous!" Jiang Qingshan said with a smile, and then his expression sidelined, "Speaking of the imperial capital, I am quite interested in one thing. ”

"Oh?" Wei Zhuang asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Brother Wei Zhuang is from the imperial capital, so he must know better than me." Speaking of this, he lowered his voice, "I heard that the emperor ascended the throne, and when the palace beheaded the general and the right minister." ”

Wei Zhuang nodded, "Yes, there is such a thing." ”

Hearing this, Jiang Qingshan slapped his thigh, "It's good if it's true!" ”

"Eh, Boss Jiang is so excited, is there any holiday with those two?"

"Holidays?" Jiang Qingshan snorted, "If you want to talk about the festival, everyone in the world has a holiday with them!" ”

"What do you mean by that?" Wei Zhuang asked with interest.

Jiang Qingshan frowned and looked at Wei Zhuang, and said: "Those two traitors and villains, who deceived the Son of Heaven and deceived the ministers, causing the local yamen to only know how to be greedy for money and pleasure, and they didn't care about the suffering of the people, can the people not have a holiday with them?" ”

"Hmph, if you want me to say, these two people killed well, get rid of traitors for the country, and eliminate harm for the people!"

Wei Zhuang looked at Jiang Qingshan's indignant appearance, and immediately felt good, and said with a smile: "Brother Jiang has the world in his heart, which is admirable, I won't tell you, I also think that these two ministers died well and died happily!" ”

Jiang Qingshan laughed when he heard this, and the relationship between the two became closer.

……

The other side.

Several crew members sneaked up to the back of the cabin.

One of the crew members said to Scarface, "Big brother, we are already in the middle of the river." ”

Scarface nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Have you taken everything right?" ”

"I've got it all."

"Okay, slowly surround it in a while, and listen to my orders!"

……

Back on deck.

Han Jun's eyes were fixed on a crew member.

The crew shuddered, a cold sweat broke out, and then pretended to be very casual and turned away.

"Childe." Han Jun shouted softly, and then leaned into Wei Zhuang's ear and whispered a few words.

After listening to Han Jun's words, Wei Zhuang nodded quietly and continued to chat with Jiang Qingshan.

A few minutes later, only a snap was heard.

A cup fell onto the deck.

In the next second, several crew members rushed from all sides shouting with long knives.

Jiang Qingshan and the others suddenly changed their faces when they saw this scene, and immediately several people began to beg for mercy.

Scarface walked with steps, walked up to a few people like a fierce god, and yelled, "Bah! ”

Then he said viciously: "We are chivalrous men in the river, doing the righteous thing of robbing the rich and helping the poor, and those who know each other can survive by leaving a hundred taels of silver!" If there are those who don't listen to persuasion, don't blame me for being ruthless! ”

As soon as these words came out, several people's faces turned white.

One hundred taels, that's not a small amount, enough for an ordinary family's expenses for a few years.

At this time, Jiang Qingshan was still a little calmer, he arched his hand, and immediately said: "A few chivalrous men are merciful, and we are willing to leave a hundred taels to help the poor!" ”

As he spoke, he took out a cloth bag and handed it to Scarface.

Seeing this, the others also took out silver taels and handed them over, but the expressions on their faces were quite painful.

Several crew members happily took the silver two, and at this time, only Wei Zhuang and the others did not move.

Scarface raised his eyebrows and shouted, "Boy, what about yours!" ”

"What?"

"Silver!"

"Oh, the silver." Wei Zhuang said with a smile: "I have a lot of silver on me, plus jade pendants and swords, it is enough for you to spend a few lifetimes." ”

When the words fell, the eyes of several crew members lit up.

Scarface's breathing was a little short, "In that case, why don't you bring it quickly!" ”

"And how much do you want?"

"Bring them all, Lao Tzu wants them all!"

"All of them?" Wei Zhuang suddenly leaned in front of Scarface and whispered, "I won't give it to you!" ”

When the words fell, he burst out laughing.

Only then did Scarface react, and his anger exploded instantly, "Little Wang Balamb, you dare to play Lao Tzu, see if I don't kill you!" ”

At this moment, Jiang Qingshan, who was on the side, suddenly came out and hurriedly persuaded: "Chivalry, strong man, be merciful!" ”

He pointed at Wei Zhuang, "This little brother, a little confused, didn't mean to bump into you, so come on strong man, I'll go out of his one hundred taels." I only ask the strong man's men to spare his life. ”
