Chapter 100: Old Things
Oh!!
Earlier, after Xiao Liuzi waited for Da Kui to change his clothes, he called Zhao Yongnian and others in.
The furnishings in the middle hall are quite complete, and Zhao Yongnian and Da Kui sat down as guests and hosts, and then discussed in detail the matter of escorting the mountain bandits into the city. Only then did Da Kui learn the merits of it.
In the previous dynasty, Zhao Yongnian served as the chief secretary of Pingyang Mansion. After a trial and questioning, the bully Ke Zhendong was put on death row. The Ke family spent a lot of money on the top and bottom, and finally saved Ke Zhendong's life. At that time, the prefect accepted a bribe of 300 taels of silver, and ordered Zhao Yongnian to change the record and seal it. Zhao Yongnian was upright by nature and secretly kept the true transcript. Zhao Yongnian has his own reasons for doing this, the current prefect will be transferred out of Pingyang in half a year, if the new prefect is a clean official, Zhao Yongnian will take out the real record.
The bully Ke Zhendong relied on his wealth to bring disaster to the township, and he did everything except good deeds, and the people of Pingyang's four miles and eight townships suffered a lot, and if he did not deal with this person strictly, it would not be tolerated.
Coincidentally, the new prefect came the following year, although he was not a Qing official, he was not confused, and he knew that the new official took office as a reborn in the last days of the three fires. Zhao Yongnian borrowed these three fires and really did a few good things for the people, including the case of the bully Ke Zhendong.
Ke Zhendong thinks that he has money to make ghosts grind, and in this Pingyang realm, he Ke Zhendong is the third. As long as the government does not interfere, he can do anything. Who knew that after less than a year of escape, he was arrested and put into the class room again.
Hearing that the bully Ke Zhendong was captured by the government, the people who complained outside the government almost kicked the threshold of the government office, which shows that Ke Zhendong is really to the point of being full of evil.
The prefect was promoted to ask the case, naturally to redress the grievances of the people, and the bully Ke Zhendong was put on death row again.
However, when a corrupt official acts, he must do a good job of saving face, otherwise how can he collect money? In desperation, the Ke family once again made some money, but this time they ran into a gray nose. Five hundred taels of silver, the prefect didn't look at it, so he ordered his subordinates to send off the guests, and before leaving, he sent a sentence: "I am the official of the people's parents, how can I do this?"
The Ke family really had no choice, so they could only prepare a generous gift and send people to Shangjing to walk around, because there was a relative in the Shangjing Ministry who couldn't beat the three poles. This relative is now the deputy envoy of the Xuanzheng Yuan, a Beijing official from the second grade. If he is willing to help, it will be possible. Who knew that the guest came before he went out, and it was the master of Pingyang Mansion.
This master entered the door without detouring, and bluntly said that he could save Ke Zhendong's life, and offered three thousand taels. The Ke family laughed and said that there were relatives in the capital, and the master sealed the Ke family's mouth with one sentence: My master is the nephew and son-in-law of the prime minister, I am afraid that before your people can send the letter, Ke Zhendong's head has already landed.
In desperation, the Ke family sold their property and finally scraped together enough three thousand taels of silver and sent someone to send it to this master's house. The master took the money and showed the wind: it was the chief bookkeeper Zhao Yongnian who wanted Ke Zhendong's life, and if Ke Zhendong continued to stay in Pingyang, I am afraid that he would not be able to be peaceful. Unexpectedly, this sentence left Zhao Yongnian with great calamity.
That night, the Pingyang Mansion Prison was robbed by a group of strongmen, and Ke Zhendong escaped smoothly.
Ke Zhendong really left Pingyang Mansion and settled in Qingfeng Mountain. Because of his prestige in Binh Duong, he became the second leader. Three years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the situation is turbulent at a time of great chaos in the world. The master of Qingfeng Mountain died of illness, and Ke Zhendong naturally took over Qingfeng Cottage.
Qingfeng Village gathered more than 500 people, and the first thing Ke Zhendong did as the owner of the village was to send someone to Pingyang Mansion to investigate. In the past few years, he has dreamed of killing Zhao Yongnian, and if Zhao Yongnian does not die, he will be stuck in his throat.
The spies inquired and reported that Pingyang Mansion was occupied by the Ming army, and Zhao Yongnian lived in the city.
The Ming army occupied the city and checked the people who came and went very strictly. Ke Zhendong knew that the Ming army was powerful, and his own men and horses were all a rabble, how could he confront the Ming army? In desperation, Ke Zhendong kept waiting for an opportunity. After another year, Ke Zhendong learned that Zhao Yongnian returned to his hometown 'Pillow Township' and did Baozheng, and this opportunity came. After that, the mountain bandits that Da Kui encountered burned, killed and looted.
Ke Zhendong tried in vain to wash the 'pillow township' alive and chop Zhao Yongnian, but he didn't expect to meet Zhang Dakui.
After saying this, Zhao Yongnian burst into tears: "It's all my fault, and it has affected the villagers." ”
Da Kui waved his hand and said: "Zhao Baozheng, don't think too much, we will send the captured mountain bandits to the city to complain, and the government will definitely avenge the people of Pillow Township The evil dog world reads the full text." ”
Zhao Yongnian raised his sleeves and wiped his tears, and said after a while: "That Ke Zhendong is ruthless, and when he learns that we have captured his men, he will definitely intercept them halfway." We're just a dozen of us, how can we outcompete the bandits?"
Da Kui not only laughed when he heard this: "Although I am not talented in the next place, I don't care about the bandits." Zhao Baozheng doesn't need to worry, Zhang is the same as you. ”
Hearing Da Kui say this, Zhao Yongnian was relieved.
There are three villages in 'Pillow Township', and one of them was sacked by mountain bandits. On the same day, Zhao Yongnian personally selected more than 20 young and strong villagers to escort four mountain bandits to Pingyang Mansion. Da Kui rode a horse and followed behind unhurriedly, and Xiao Liuzi still followed Da Kui with a burden.
In the past two days, there are still most of the two baskets full of wine and meat snacks, Da Kui thought that he would delay for a while, but he didn't expect to invite Zhao Yongnian in two days. The person was invited, but it is difficult to say whether Zhao Yongnian is willing to do this Pingyang prefect.
Most of the people who read are dead-brained, and they always say bullshit that loyal ministers don't care about the two masters. At that time, I am afraid that this Zhao Yongnian will have a tendon, and it will be difficult to do.
Fortunately, the wind and waves were calm along the way, and there were no mountain bandits, and the team walked all the way east on mountain roads. The scenery along the way is still the same, Da Kui rides on a horse and watches the scenery and drinks wine, which is really free.
In the depths of the dense forest, a pair of eyes stared at Zhao Yongnian's team until the team ......was far away.
"The big boss, the small one looks carefully. Our four brothers were escorted by Zhao Yongnian with more than 20 people in the direction of Pingyang, and their team was followed by two people on horseback, and it was the brake god who rode the horse!"
Ke Zhendong was speechless when he heard the report, and hundreds of mountain bandits around him exchanged their heads and ears, but they personally understood the power of Da Kui that day, and this time they learned that Da Kui was also in the team, and they were all buzzing like headless flies.
After thinking about it for a while, Ke Zhendong not only got up angrily, "Grandma's, the sky is endless, he Zhao Yongnian!"
A leader next to him stepped forward and asked, "Big boss, what should we do?"
"What should I do, go back to the cottage!" Ke Zhendong said this angrily, and walked to his mount first.
This group of mountain bandits was killed by Da Kui all the way, and this time they gathered together and hid in the depths of the mountains and forests for a night, and now they learned that Da Kui and Zhao Yongnian went all the way to Pingyang Mansion, and it seemed that it was hopeless to kill Zhao Yongnian, Ke Zhendong had to lead his subordinates back to the cottage in frustration.
All the way, it was getting dark. Da Kui rode on his horse and whispered: "After entering the city, ask the soldiers to send the thieves to the prison for care, and Zhao Yongnian and these people will arrange to rest in the inn, and they will go to the court early tomorrow morning to ask about the case." ”
Xiao Liuzi, who was following Da Kui's mount, agreed, and reached out to take an oiled paper bag from the basket he was carrying.
"Big brother, just drinking alcohol hurts your body, you eat some meat dishes. Xiao Liuzi carefully handed the paper bag to Da Kui.
Da Kui smiled: "Don't eat it, you can share the meat snacks in the box with your brothers when you go back." ”
"Brother Xie, the younger brother smiled at the wealth of officialdom, and there were no pop-ups. Xiao Liuzi smiled and thanked for the reward, but Da Kui said again: "Eat what you should eat, go back and work hard with me." ”
"Huh?" Xiao Liuzi was a little stupid when he heard this last sentence.
Da Kui continued slowly: "There are only more than 1,000 soldiers in Pingyang Prefecture, and if you want to search the mountain with insufficient manpower, it is necessary to organize a militia group. When the mountain bandits learned that the officers and men would flee after searching the mountain, we immediately seized the opportunity to capture and kill the bandit leader. After a pause, Da Kui put away the wine gourd and said, "Even if these mountain bandits escape to the edge of the sky, I will not let them go." ”
Xiao Liuzi said in a low voice: "If it is to suppress bandits, you can secondment soldiers and horses in neighboring prefectures and counties, why not Laoda... Big brother going in person?"
Da Kui shook his head and said: "It takes time to second, it is better to capture the thief and capture the king, and then it will depend on your and my ability." ”
"Everything is at the command of the eldest brother. Xiao Liuzi promised not to speak again. Looking up, the city of Pingyang City is already in sight.
There was still a stone's throw away from the moat, and Xiao Liuzi rushed to the front of the team with his burden and found Zhao Yongnian and said: "Zhao Baozheng, I will go to the city gate first, seeing that it is getting dark, I am afraid that I will not be able to enter the city if I am late." ”
Zhao Yongnian couldn't help but say with concern: "The hero might as well leave the burden, we will pick it for you, and you can go faster." ”
Xiao Liuzi was overjoyed when he heard this: "That's the best, it's bothering Zhao Baozheng." As he spoke, Xiao Liuzi picked up his burden and ran to the city gate in the distance.
Zhao Yongnian and Confucianism carried the burden, so they had to ask the villagers behind him to do it for him.
The procession had gone some way and saw the city gate. The city gate, which was originally closed, was open at the moment, and then a rapid sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and two teams of elite cavalry rushed out of the city, surrounding Zhao Yongnian and others in an instant. Zhao Yongnian couldn't help but be shocked, where had the more than 20 villagers behind him seen such a formation, and they all squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands.
Zhao Yongnian saw a man who looked like an officer riding on a horse, so he stepped forward boldly and said, "Master Jun, we are from Pillow Township, and we are here to complain this time." ”
The officer rode on his horse and looked Zhao Yongnian up and down for a long time, and then asked, "Are you Zhao Baozheng?"
Zhao Yongnian said yes again and again, and the officer said: "The thieves are taken over by us, and my lord Zhang has arranged an inn for you, Zhao Baozheng please." ”
Everything came too fast, Zhao Yongnian was like falling into the clouds, and entered the city in a daze.
The government not only manages the food, but also the food. More than 20 people sat at five tables, each table was two meat, two vegetarian and four dishes, and a large bowl of egg soup and a pot of old wine in the middle. The innkeeper led the two men to serve carefully, not daring to slack off a little.
A mountain man whispered to Zhao Yongnian: "Zhao Baozheng, what's the matter?
Zhao Yongnian was also beating the drum in his heart, so he had to say nonsense: "Maybe it's the new law of the government." ”
The mountain people are also true: "Then I come to sue every day." ”
