Chapter 0067: Dragons and Snakes Gather

In the study, Wu Song was trained to be silent and sulk alone, but he was no longer stubborn after all. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Zhao Bufan calmed down and turned to look at the silent Yang Zhi.

"Brother Yang, you also know the current situation, do you think we can't rob Tong Guan's birthday?"

Yang Zhi gritted his teeth: "Robbery! But you have to pick a suitable robbery, don't trap good people!"

"Then you guys should prepare well in the next few days, I will try to inquire about the news and find a few suitable robbers, and this matter will be done by the three of us, and don't let others know about it for the time being." Zhao Bufan didn't want too many people to get involved in this matter, he was especially afraid of leaking the news, his current situation was very complicated, and he couldn't be caught.

"Okay!" Yang Zhi and Wu Song glanced at each other and nodded.

As Yang Zhi and Wu Song left, the study gradually quieted down, and Zhao Bufan stood quietly by the window, his eyes far away.

He didn't know whether it was right or wrong to do this, and he didn't know whether it was good or bad, but the current situation forced him to take this step and take the sword.

But he was really afraid that he would fall, and he was afraid that he would not be able to stop until one day he would never be able to turn back.

After a long time, he gently walked back to the table, spread out the rice paper, slowly picked up the pen, and wrote a sentence slowly but forcefully.

"Tianxingjian, the gentleman is self-improving! The terrain is kun, the gentleman is virtuous!"

After writing, Zhao Bufan looked at them again and again, and finally hung them lightly on the wall.

"In order to stabilize the world, I can do whatever it takes, but I can't forget what I am, although I am not worthy of being a gentleman, but I must remember these two sentences!"

In the next few days, Zhao Bufan went to Bazhou City, wanting to try to hear the news from the officials of the state capital, but he didn't have much hope, after all, this kind of thing is usually done very secretively and is not easy to spread. didn't expect it to be really rewarding, and there was a news that spread from the mouths of the officials in Bazhou City.

From the mouth of the Bazhou official, Zhao Bufan learned that Li Bangyan, the governor of Mengzhou, actually prepared 300,000 yuan for Tong Guan's birthday, although this money is terrible, but if the secrecy is done well, it will not leak the news, but more importantly, this money is to buy an official, and it is still a position like Shangshu Zuocheng.

The Great Song Dynasty reformed the official system several times, and nowadays, Shangshu Zuocheng is actually equivalent to the previous governor's political affairs, in other words, one of the four deputy prime ministers, and Li Bangyan's name, which the people today have basically heard of, is one of the "six thieves" of the Great Song Dynasty, and has always been close to the eunuchs.

Tong Guan wanted him to sit in the position of Shangshu Zuocheng and contain Cai Jing, and Li Bangyan wanted to give a birthday gang worth 300,000 yuan as a thank you gift in order to express his heart. Of course, this incident caused a strong backlash from Cai Jing's lineage, so he deliberately spread the news to make it known to everyone, plus Li Bangyan was already famous, and 300,000 yuan was a huge amount of money, so of course it spread all over the country.

When Zhao Bufan just heard the news, he was also shocked, how terrible the property worth 300,000 yuan was, if he could get it back, then any problem in Juxianzhuang could be solved, but on the way back to Juxianzhuang from Bazhou City, he became worried in his heart.

Such a huge amount of money is huge, and now it is even more troublesome to everyone, so I don't know how much attention it will attract.

More importantly, this matter involves the power struggle of the court, and the two parties will definitely have a dragon fight, and whether it is people from all over the world, thieves and bandits, maybe there are people who are fighting the idea of this birthday gang, which can be said to be very tempting and dangerous!

But if you don't get involved in this muddy water, it will be really difficult to get such a huge fortune elsewhere, Zhao Bufan is too short of money, and this piece of cake makes him completely unable to refuse.

After returning to Juxianzhuang, Zhao Bufan thought about it behind closed doors for a long time, and finally made a resolute decision, quietly called Wu Song and Yang Zhi, and the three of them quickly whipped up and went straight to Mengzhou.

Along the way, he also told Wu Song and Yang Zhi the details, so that they could be mentally prepared.

............

Mengzhou, located in the south of Taihang Mountain, north of the Yellow River, south is Xijing Luoyang, is the boundary of Henan Province.

Zhao Bufan, Wu Song, and Yang Zhi hurried up, and a few days later rushed to Luokou Town in the west of Mengzhou, which is located on the north bank of the Yellow River, is a river port, when the three of them arrived, they found that there were already a lot of strange people here, some looked like people from the rivers and lakes, some looked like people from the imperial court, but more people couldn't distinguish their identities at all, although they looked like ordinary people, but their breath was stable, and they knew that they had martial arts at a glance.

An ordinary town suddenly gathered so many people who knew martial arts, it was self-evident, and Zhao Bufan immediately felt the danger here.

There are two restaurants in the town, one is called Xihe Inn and the other is called Dongmen Inn

Zhao Bufan and the three of them all wore masks, covering their faces tightly, since they entered the town, I don't know how many eyes looked at them, but the three of them didn't seem to see each other, they went to the Xihe Inn to stay first, but they learned that there was no room, and then they came to the slightly remote Dongmen Inn.

When I walked into the inn, there were many people sitting in the lobby, most of them were carrying weapons, and I saw that they were wearing black masks on their faces, and they were all staring!

Zhao Bufan didn't care so much, he came directly to the counter and put five taels of silver on it.

"Three upper rooms, the rooms next to each other, tell me if you don't have enough money!"

The shopkeeper was very stocky, round and chubby, his eyes narrowed into a line when he smiled, he was not in a hurry to collect the cashier, but looked at Zhao Bufan with a smile. "Guest officer, the government has regulations, but anyone who comes to stay must show his face and register his name!"

"Smack!" Zhao Bufan took out another five taels of silver and put them on the table.

"This ......" The shopkeeper looked at the ten taels of white flowers with silver patterns, his eyes almost lit up, but he still seemed hesitant.

Zhao Bufan looked at him, didn't want to delay any longer, and directly took out another ten taels of silver and threw it on the table.

"Twenty taels, if it doesn't work, then let's go!"

"Okay!Okay!!!I'll think of a way!" Twenty taels of silver is not a decimal number, the shopkeeper seemed reluctant, hurriedly put away the silver, and shouted loudly: "Erhuazi, quickly take the three guest officers to the room!"

With the words, a thin young man rushed out of the back hall, understood the situation at a glance, and ran in front of Zhao Bufan with a bow.

"Three guest officers, please, I'll lead the way for you!"

Zhao Bufan didn't say much, and quickly followed Erhuazi up to the third floor of the attic and entered the corner room.

Erhuazi sent them into the house with a smile, nodded and said: "Guest officer, the left and right rooms of this room are also yours, if you have any orders, feel free to shout in the aisle outside, and the little one will come immediately!"

"Hmm, you go get busy!" Zhao Bufan waved his hand.

The two flowers didn't say much, closed the door with a smile, and quickly walked away.

After hearing his footsteps walking away, Zhao Bufan looked at Wu Song and Yang Zhi, and said in a low voice: "There are so many people gathered in this town, it seems that they are all related to this birthday, we must deal with it carefully, if we are not absolutely sure, try not to talk to people, and we are not allowed to drink!"

"Okay!" Wu Song and Yang Zhiquan both nodded.

"Then you all go back to your room to rest now, don't run around, and then act at night!"

"Okay!" the two of them answered, but without saying anything, they went back to their rooms.

Zhao Bufan sat alone and thought for a while, walked to the side of the bed and lay down, and after a while, he was dazed and fell into a half-dream-like state.

Suddenly, there was a soft knock on the door of the room.

Zhao Bufan, who was about to fall asleep, woke up suddenly, got up from the bed with a vertical leap, and stared at the door vigilantly.

"Who!"

"I!" a cold female voice, very nice.

"Who are you?" Zhao Bufan frowned, only feeling that his voice was a little familiar, but the other party only said one word, and it was difficult to distinguish.

"What do you think?"

There was a voice outside the door again, and Zhao Bufan understood this, and his eyes widened in surprise. "Xue Ling?"

He hurriedly stepped forward to open the door, and suddenly saw Xue Ling's beautiful face, she was dressed up delicately at this time, and she had the demeanor of a lady. As the door opened, she didn't even look at it, and she dodged into the room.

Zhao Bufan closed the door, turned around and looked at it for a moment, and asked with a smile: "Little junior sister, looking at your outfit, you should be Cai Jing's righteous daughter now?"

"Yes!"

"How did you know I was here?" Zhao Bufan wondered.

Xue Ling stared at him coldly: "Not only do I know, but your little lover Zhu Lian should also know, she is very sensitive to your back, and she followed you for a while, but Zhu Bocai didn't notice you!"

"They're here too?" Zhao Bufan was surprised.

Xue Ling didn't answer, and asked coldly, "What are you doing here?"

"Little junior sister, can you speak with a little human touch?"

"I don't understand any human feelings, you hurry up, a lot of people will die here!"

"Why!"

Xue Ling looked at Zhao Bufan indifferently for a long time, and then turned around suddenly. "This is a bureau, Tong Guan's conspiracy to collude with the Liao State was sabotaged by the Imperial City Division and Cai Jing, the war did not start in the end, and Tong Guan wanted to kill the Xian King who promoted the Imperial City Division in Cangzhou, and was finally destroyed by Zhu Bocai, he used the topic to play this time, and led Zhu Bocai here, the purpose was to borrow someone else's hand to kill Zhu Bocai, if you don't go, don't blame me for not reminding you if you die here!"

"Is Li Bangyan's 300,000 Birthday Compendium true?" Zhao Bufan asked urgently.

"Yes, but that's also bait, it's hard for you to get that fortune, don't talk about you, even I don't know who escorted this batch of property, and how it was escorted, I advise you to give up, this time Tong Guan laid a net of heaven and earth, your little lover and Zhu Bocai are dead! The most important thing is that Cai Jing won't care about it this time, Li Bangyan is a sure thing to do Shangshu Zuocheng, he knows that there is no way to stop it, so he just wants to use this matter to secretly make another article!"

After saying this, Xue Ling didn't say anything anymore and walked straight to the door.

Zhao Bufan was stunned on the spot, and a thought suddenly arose in his heart.

"I have affected a lot of things, could it be that the fate of Zhu Bocai and Zhu Lian has also changed completely?"

Xue Ling didn't know what he was thinking, and was about to walk out of the room, but suddenly stopped.

"Also, be careful of two people named Fang La and Tian Hu, one of them is the leader of the Ming Sect, and the other is the leader of the bandits, and there are many masters under their command!"
