Chapter 16: Big Things Are Not Good

Li Chaoping and Zhang Tao came to the vicinity of Yingchang Mansion and saw a village, Chaoping said to Zhang Tao: "Brother Zhang, let's rest here." The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Zhang Tao will naturally agree to the request of the third prince, although they will enter a house to sit. The host was very hospitable, prepared tea for them, and Chaoping Arcade also inquired about what the two thieves in Yingchang Mansion were about. The host is an old woman and an old man, this old man heard them ask about the situation, and said to Chaoping very sadly: "Young man, you don't know, this father and son were originally from this Yingchang Mansion, and later the father became an official and became a assassin, and the son also donated an official to be a military attaché The official position is the sixth grade, they oppress the people and do all kinds of evil, and the people here are miserable." Chaoping said: "Then why don't you go to the court and let the court sanction them?" The old man said: "There is a distant relative of the assassin of this state and county, and his relative is in a high position in the imperial court, and I heard that he is an uncle of the country, so no one dares to mess with them. Chaoping said: "I see, then are you troubled here, are there any robbers from the mountains who disturb your village?" The old man said: "That is no, but sometimes the robbers on the side of Huwei Mountain will rob the money of the rich merchants who bully the people in the city, and then sometimes they will be distributed to the people, but the son of the assassin of Yingchang Mansion is ruthless and his martial arts are not bad, and then the robbers he caught were killed by him in a particularly cruel way, because Yingchang Mansion is full of troops, and the kings on this mountain do not dare to seek revenge, and the son of this assassin does not dare to go to Huwei Mountain, so he can only catch some minions in the cottage and then kill the public. Chao Pingzai inquired carefully and said, "Oh, so that's the case, uncle, it's hard for you, if I have the ability one day, I will definitely get rid of this scourge." The old man said nervously that he didn't dare to talk nonsense, and then Chaoping just smiled, and then said to Zhang Tao: "Brother Zhang, let's hurry up." ”

Chaoping ordered Zhang Tao to give the two old men a few taels of silver, and the old man shirked it for a long time and had no way to accept it, and then Chaoping and they set off to Yingchang Mansion. Outside the city, Chao Pingzai took a closer look at Yingchang Mansion, in his eyes, these are not just a city, he will think about the scenery he sees from the aspects of history, culture and military value, for example, he is thinking about how to fight or how to defend if he leads people to attack Yingchang Mansion, etc., he thinks about these things. Just as he was enjoying the scenery, one of his soldiers said to Chaoping: "Young master, young master, look, there seems to be a person over there." Chaoping looked in the direction that the next person pointed to, there seemed to be a person crawling more than 100 meters away, Chaoping was a chivalrous and courageous warm-hearted, and hurriedly took Zhang Tao to take a look. The man was crawling under the wall, and when he saw that this person was beaten by someone, he hurriedly asked, "Brother Tai, what happened to you?" The man was about to speak when he passed out. Chaoping said: "Brother Zhang Tao, although we have never known this person in our lives, but after all, he is so seriously injured, so we took him into the city and found him a Lang Zhong to treat his injuries." Zhang Tao naturally agreed, and then called someone to help him into the carriage. Chao Ping did not enter the carriage, but walked to the city gate with Zhang Tao next to the carriage, Chao Ping and Zhang Tao knew in their hearts that this person's identity was unknown, and if he found out that there was trouble, this person would definitely die, so it was better to save him first and then judge that he was a good person and a bad person. "Stop, who are you, you, go and search the carriage. "The soldiers who guarded the gate shouted at five and six. Zhang Tao immediately pulled out his knife and put it on the neck of this little soldier and said: "You have eaten the bear's heart and the leopard's guts, and you dare to check even our young marshal's car, this is the grandson of the old general Li Luoyun, and I will show you the token of our marshal's mansion." "This soldier saw that it was so, who dared to be worse, and hurriedly apologized and let him go. Chao Ping and Zhang Tao came into the city, and Chao Ping said, "Brother Zhang, you send someone to invite Lang Zhong, let's stay in this inn in front." Zhang Tao instructed the soldiers around him to find a Lang Zhong to come over, and they entered the inn, which was relatively clean and comfortable, and you could see the street when you opened the window, and they stayed on the second floor, almost the entire inn, after all, they had dozens of people.

After Lang Zhong came to see the man, Chaoping inquired about the condition and paid silver taels. After a while, the man woke up, and said politely to Chaoping: "But this brother saved me, I ......" The person spoke very weakly, Chaoping said: "Who are you, how can you be so seriously injured." "This person said that his name is Chen Rui, is the local magistrate, although he is the second-in-command of this Yingchang Mansion, but he is always bullied by the father and son of Zhang Zebai, the assassin of this Yingchang Mansion, because there was a murder case a while ago, this Chen Rui enforced the law impartially, but offended the father and son, they held a grudge and found an opportunity to beat this Chen Rui and throw it out of the city. The more Chaoping listened, the more angry he became, thinking that a court official could be bullied like this. However, Chaoping is so resourceful that he doesn't believe anything, he privately talks to this Chen Rui on the one hand, and on the other hand, he also sent Zhang Tao to inquire whether this person is the real identity, how is this person, and so on. Later, Chaoping heard that this Chen Rui was indeed a very upright person, and he was very erudite, and Chaoping was very close to him.

Li Chaoping had been in Yingchang Mansion for three days, and Chaoping was in a hurry, so he discussed with Zhang Tao and said: "Brother Zhang, let's hurry to the border in the afternoon, we have the opportunity to report the matter here to the imperial court, and strive to bring this Zhang Zexiong father and son to justice." Zhang Tao said: "But what about this Chen Rui." Chaoping said: "Brother Chen's injury is not healed yet, let's keep some silver taels and let the shopkeeper keep it on his behalf until Lang Zhong heals his injury." Zhang Tao heard Chaoping say this, and felt that it was appropriate, so he said: "Okay, the son is very thoughtful." Then the two of them went to gather their men to come downstairs to dinner. When everyone sat down on the first floor of the inn and was about to wait for the food to come up, everyone heard that there were many soldiers outside the door who were rushing from left to right, very neat, as if they were going to fight, Chaoping looked at the door curiously, pondered for a long time, and said: "The big thing is not good, Brother Zhang Tao, quickly lead a fast horse to take me to Huwei Mountain, it's too late to explain." Then Zhang Tao didn't ask much and immediately threw a certain amount of silver on the counter of the inn, Xiao Er, borrow your inn horse. Chaoping said to the soldiers, you can settle the money here and come later, remember, when you go, you must go around the road where we were captured, and you must not take the road we went down the mountain. After speaking, I saw Zhang Tao find a good horse and go around to the front yard inn, and took Chao Ping, who was standing at the door, on the horse and ran south.
