Chapter 246: The Wild Dragon Basking in the Sun
The Zhejia family is the overlord of the Great Song Dynasty in the northwest, and has been the hereditary governor of Fuzhou for two hundred years as a party clan, controlling the military operations and the affairs of the Tibetan people in the three prefectures of Linfu and Feng. The three prefectures of Linfu Feng are the main roads leading to the Western Xia and Liao in the hinterland of the Great Song River, and the Zhejia is also making a lot of money by smuggling.
Although the wild dragon Zhuo Li is a ruthless character, he is nothing in front of a family like the Zhi family, Yang Zhi doesn't have to guess to know that Zhuo Li's story is a repetition of the story of the Yang family in Qizhou. The Yang family took refuge in the Great Song Dynasty earlier than the Zhe family, but in order to obtain the loyalty of the Zhe family, the Yang family was beaten to death on the beach by the back waves, under the pressure of the Great Song Dynasty court and the Zhe family, Yang Ye's younger brother Yang Chongxun was forced to abandon Linzhou and move to the mainland, from the Jianning Army Festival in Qizhou to the Baojing Army Festival on Huainan Road.
After Yang Ye, Yang Yanzhao, Yang Wenguang three generations of famous generals, Yang Chongxun's great-grandson Yang Jin let the Yang family return to the center of the Great Song Dynasty in another way;
Yang Zhi was forced by his family to be admitted to the Jinshi, in fact, he was also influenced by Yang Jin, a predecessor in the clan, and the family was no longer as enthusiastic about making contributions as before. Zhuo Li and the others should be the same as Yang Chongxun back then, thinking that they had taken refuge early, and Tong Guan would regard him as a confidant, but as Tong Guan's power became higher and higher, Zhuo Li was far less important than Tong Guan in order to fight for control of Yan'an Sixth Road, and even an unsafe hidden danger for Tong Guan and his subordinates.
If the Zhe family puts forward conditions, Tong Guan will definitely change his face, after all, Zhuo Li is just a robber in the eyes of the government, as long as he is defeated by Tong Guan's men, even if Zhuo Li tells the secret between him and Tong Guan, no one will believe it, one is that the logic is wrong, and the other is that Zhuo Li has no evidence. Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if Zhuo Li can provide some evidence, Tong Guan and the Zhi family are sure that they will destroy the evidence cleanly, but more people will die.
Yang Zhi said lightly: "It's better to be alive than anything else, there are some things that don't need to be taken to heart, is Zhuo Li okay?"
Yang Zhi naturally remembered what Shi Dangdang said in Pingxia City, Shi Dangdang said that Zhuo Li and himself were acquaintances, and asked Yang Zhi to go to Yunmeng Mountain to have a look when he was free, but Yang Zhi fled in all directions, and it was about to be time, but he still didn't have time to go. The most important thing is that Yunmeng Mountain is so big, if Zhuo Li and Shi Dangdang don't say what to see clearly, Yang Zhi will spend two or three years, and he may not be able to figure out what to do in Yunmeng Mountain.
Zheng Chuang felt that Lan Bin on the other side had given him too many surprises, listening to Lan Bin's tone, it seemed that he knew Zhuo Li, Zheng Chuang hesitated for a moment and asked, "Where have the seniors seen the big boss and the juniors?"
Yang Zhi said with a smile: "When people are old, they don't remember some things very clearly, and if Zheng Dangjia feels inconvenient to say it, forget it." ”
Zheng Chuang gritted his teeth and said: "It's not very convenient here, otherwise please move to the seniors and go to the big car shop to sit, just at the east corner of the street." ”
Yang Zhi felt that this was an opportunity, if he really wanted to be a robber, Zhuo Li and his subordinates would be a group that could work together, and he also wanted to find out where he and Zhuo Li were familiar and whether they really had a relationship. Yang Zhi saw the guy walking in from the backyard with a smile, nodded and said, "I just want to buy a donkey, so I'll take a look with you." ”
Yang Zhi handed the guy two taels of silver, asked the guy to help receive the wine and food into his room, took the dragon bird knife and went out with Zheng Chuang, Zheng Chuang looked at the package outside the dragon bird knife, and said with a wry smile: "The seniors are really careful." ”
From the size of the package, Zheng Chuang could conclude that it was a weapon, but Yang Zhi specially made hands and feet when he wrapped the dragon bird knife, and Zheng Chuang couldn't see the shape of the weapon; the two walked over for only a few minutes, and the civet cat had already bought a mule cart, which was a tall horse and mule, pulling a carriage. In the Song Dynasty, there was no large-scale use of mules as draft animals, only people in the northern mountainous areas liked to use large horses and mules to pull things, and the mules produced by the mating of male and female horses had great strength and stamina.
The two only pretended not to know each other, and the civet pulled the mule cart and politely asked Yang Zhi: "Old man, you also come to buy a mule cart?"
"See. Yang Zhi gave a look and said, "I sold the horse to this shopkeeper, and I must have the strength to go back." ”
"Well, you're busy. The civet cat politely said a word and left, Yang Zhi came with a guy, it was definitely not to buy livestock, but knowing the place, there was no need to worry; Yang Zhi followed Zheng Chuang all the way through the shop in front, a guy took the horse in Zheng Chuang's hand, and a guy wanted to stop Yang Zhi from searching, and saw Zheng Chuang wave his hand before stopping at the counter. When the two arrived at the back yard, Yang Zhi saw a short man sitting lazily on a bamboo chair basking in the sun.
This person's face is very white, wearing a very ordinary blue coat, he looks like a middle-aged man who has nothing to do, sitting there and looking harmless, but in Yang Zhi's eyes, this person is full of energy up and down, although he is short, but no one can underestimate him, Yang Zhi suddenly remembered Cao Cao and Shi Nai'an's Song Jiang, they are all short, and they are all heroes, which one is more like Zhuo Li.
Zheng Chuang didn't have time to introduce, Yang Zhi had already affirmed that the person in front of him was Zhuo Li from the momentum; Similarly, Zhuo Li looked at Yang Zhi, a trace of strangeness flashed in his eyes, and after listening to Zheng Chuang's introduction, Zhuo Li smiled and said: "Zheng Chuang, you are gone, but you are doing well, he is one of the few people I have always wanted to see." You go out, I'll have a good talk with him. ”
Zheng Chuang was a little cloudy, looked at Zhuo Li, looked at Yang Zhi, or walked out without asking anything; Yang Zhi said slowly: "He is your old subordinate, you don't believe him?"
Zhuo Li stood up, looked at Yang Zhi and said: "You are taller than I thought, I understand a little now, why did the Egret choose you, at that time I had already lived a life of drinking the blood of the knife head in Taihang Mountain, and I had a little fame, and the Egret still thought that you who were preparing to take the martial arts entrance examination were better than me." When I heard that you didn't die after eating dragon meat, I believed that people still need a little luck. ”
