Chapter 2 70 A blow to the head
The base camp of the Tianluo Gang and the Hanshui Gang is located in Xiangyang City in Jingzhou, but in recent years they have made trouble in Yuzhou, Yangzhou, Jizhou, and Yongzhou, but they have rarely taken action in Jingzhou.
Last year, it broke away from Xiangyang, Jingzhou, which should only be a superficial separation, and there is still hidden strength that has not yet been shown.
Presently.
The Tianluo Gang attacked Xingyang in Yuzhou.
The Hanshui Gang is attacking Hedong County in Jizhou, and at the same time deterring Fengyi County in Yongzhou, and recently it is going to break through Hongnong County in Yuzhou to make a real cross-state rebellion.
I don't know how the imperial court will respond.
At present, Dayan's external troubles are serious, and the shortage of troops is certain.
Li Wuchang estimated that if the Tianluo Gang wanted to pacify Xingyang, it would have to be sent by Luoyang, so a group of elites would be transferred back from Hedong.
Feng Yi is unharmed for the time being.
And the chaos in Hedong, I don't know what will happen.
Hongnong County, at present, has transferred a batch of support from Yongzhou in case of emergency, and some of the sergeants are led by Yan Chongzhi and others, and I don't know if it is useful.
Li Wuchang can't manage so much, he still has to do what he should do, so he will take Zhuangzi in Hongnong County to start a knife, which can be regarded as "trans-state".
Large families have farms, very autonomous, generally rent out the fields, let the tenants plant, according to the proportional rent, most of them directly collect grain or other crops, after harvesting, many times directly to the city to which Zhuangzi belongs to sell, quarterly to the family to hand over money.
This kind of Zhuangzi is very different from Li Wuchang's Zhuangzi and Feng Yi's Bingzhuang.
Li Wuchang's Zhuangzi belongs to him, and there is no family pressure on it, while Feng Yi's other soldiers' villages are hung in the inner treasury.
Most of the Zhuangzi of the big family are personally managed by the children of the family.
Some people say that the farms of large families are generally used to distribute the children of the family who have made mistakes, and there is some basis for this statement, and there are indeed many families who do this.
The Zhang family has a few small Zhuangzi in Hongnong County, all of which are managed by the children of the Zhang family, and they have been investigated before, and their defense strength is not strong.
First, there are no big gangs such as the Hanshui Gang and the Tianluo Gang in Hongnong County.
Second, the Zhang family's brand is big, and the government will of course pay attention to it, so the general rabble does not dare to provoke it, so as not to be targeted by the Zhang family and the government.
Zhao Xun and the others don't have so many scruples, and this time they came to Hongnong to do something in Zhangjia Zhuangzi.
A group of nine people, led by Zhao Xun, with masters such as Zhai Changping and Cao Hao below, as well as hooligan characters such as the fat bear Chen Lianbao, is reasonably configured.
They were all very excited, this time they were ordered to do something, and they were still doing such a trouble-making and robbing thing.
Fully equipped and prepared.
Li Wuchang has an order, don't be polite to the Zhang family, don't pay attention to idle people, try to let people go, don't act like real bandits.
According to the intelligence, Zhao Xun decided to start with the Zhang family's largest Zhuangzi in Hongnong first.
made a detailed plan, everyone followed the old rules, dressed up in disguise, and it was necessary to smear their faces, which was what they did in Feng Yicheng in the past.
Hongnong West, Zhangjia Zhuangzi.
In the hall, Zhang Fan and his subordinates were drinking.
Zhang Fan is a child of the Zhang family's side branch, and Zhang Yanbang is the same generation, some have the ability, and the martial arts are around the middle level of the five grades, because he made some small mistakes, he was assigned here by the family.
I thought it would be very difficult, but it wasn't.
After Zhang Fan came here, he simply became a local emperor, what he wanted to do, ordinary little bandits did not dare to provoke Zhuangzi to make trouble, and the officers and soldiers had to be careful to laugh with him when they came here.
In addition to the thugs brought from the Zhang family, in his spare time, Zhang Fan also gathered a group of maniacs, all day long, bullying the common people is a common thing, occasionally go to Hongnong City to be chic, there is the Zhang family's brand, he is much more chic than when he was in Chang'an City.
In order to make a fortune secretly, Zhang Fan even secretly increased the rent of the field, and everything was done without the Zhang family.
Zhang Fan also has a little brain, using the Zhang family's brand, and also got some shops in the city, and the business is booming, saving a lot of money.
It's just not too cool.
However, Zhang Fan has been a little troubled recently.
Because when he was drinking in the city, he heard that the Hanshui Gang was about to come to Hongnong to make trouble, and the imperial court also sent some sergeants over, as if to confirm this.
He didn't want to face the Hanshui Gang.
"Brother Fan, we have made a lot of money in the past few years, do you want to find a reason to go back to Chang'an, if the Hanshui Gang beats Hongnong, it is not a joke, so many officers and soldiers in Hedong, and even the elite of Luoyang City, can't take the Hanshui Gang, which shows their strength. "I have a suggestion.
"What are you afraid of, isn't there an official government blocking it, and the imperial court also sent a group of people over, I heard that the eldest young man of the Yan family and the second young man of the Ye family have passed. Someone pouted, and it didn't seem like they wanted to leave.
"The Yan family is a fart, he was a deserter in Feng Yi at the beginning, and in the end, Feng Yi's Wang Taishou was angry, and he directly wrote to transfer Yan Dashao and other sons and brothers, everyone has heard of it, right? Most people have heard of Yan Chong's name, and when they talk about his glorious deeds, their tone is quite disdainful.
"Speaking of that Wang Taishou, he is really pedantic, he did not hesitate to offend several big families at the same time, I estimate that he will be unlucky in the future, where can he compare to Guo Taishou of Hongnong. "Someone compared the Taishou of the two counties.
"Guo Taishou is good, he has taken good care of us in recent years, the shops in the city are all places he personally demarcated, and he often sends people to Zhuangzi to patrol to deter ordinary miscellaneous bandits and suppress the untouchables who make trouble. "Someone remembered that Guo Taishou was good.
"It's not to tie up with our Zhang family, now that the head of our family is the secretary of the military department, does he dare not take care of us? Unless he doesn't want to mess up...... Eh, do you know Wei Tong in Hedong in the past? I heard that it was because he offended a big family and was rectified. Some people's tone was particularly disdainful, and they didn't take Hongnong's local snake Guo Taishou in their eyes at all, and talked about the fate of Wei Tong, the former Hedong Taishou.
"Brother Fan, what do you say?" Everyone looked at Zhang Fan, after all, he was the master of Zhuangzi, and it was up to him to decide whether to leave or stay.
"Let's take a look first, it should be a few days before the Hanshui Gang wants to break in...... Don't worry about it so much, come, keep drinking, anyway, the little lady of the Liu family is getting more and more smart, hehehe!" Zhang Fan didn't want to go back to Chang'an in such a hurry, and the good days weren't enough.
Everyone laughed obscenely when they heard Zhang Fan's coquettish laughter.
"What's wrong with this wine today, I've only drunk a few bowls, why don't my hands obey the call? It seems to be paralyzed, is it because I can't drink too much? It's impossible. "Somebody shook their heads.
"When you say that, I also feel that something is wrong, not only because I have no strength in my hands, but also in my feet. Some people said that they got up again, but they fell to the ground.
Only then did everyone realize that something was wrong.
"Hahahaha......"
A long laugh came.
Then nearly a dozen men in black broke into the hall.
The men in black all blackened their faces, and they all laughed, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and their eyes stared at everyone like a group of plague pigs.
"Who are you?" Zhang Fan roared, his mind cleared up a lot.
Everyone realizes that things are not easy.
Someone's knocking on the door?
It seems that someone has drugged the wine.
Outrageous!
Of course, this group is Zhao Xun's gang.
They knocked the gatekeeper unconscious with a thunderous force, and then secretly drugged it, using it to paralyze, because they were afraid that the smell would be too strong and would be detected, so they didn't give much.
I didn't expect the effect to be so good, except for Zhang Fan, everyone else became soft-footed shrimp that could be slaughtered.
"What kind of person? Looter, you can't see this?" Chen Lianbao sneered, and then laughed.
"Do you know what this place is?...... Zhuangzi of the Zhang family! Let me tell you, those who know each other should hurry up and tie their hands and feet, and I can consider leaving you a whole corpse. Zhang Fan roared.
Hmph! If you dare to come to the Zhang family's Zhuangzi to make trouble, you will definitely break the corpses of these crazy people into pieces.
Zhang Fan hated and thought about it like this, and at the same time secretly used his skills to force poison.
Zhao Xun glanced at Nie Quan and Zhai Changping, and went to guard them outside.
Zhai Nie and the others took the order and left.
There were not many servants in the house, and they were all trembling with fear at this time, not daring to move, nor daring to go out to ventilate and report the news, for fear that the black-faced fanatics in front of them would kill people if they disagreed with each other.
"The Zhang family, which Zhang family, is it a big family that is not easy to mess with?" Zhao Xun spread his hands, looked at the people left and right, and with his dark face, it looked a little funny.
"Hmph! The Zhang family doesn't know, let me tell you, our patriarch is Master Zhang Xiu, the secretary of the military department, and if you know each other, kneel down for me quickly, otherwise you will be punished by the nine clans!" Zhang Fan's subordinates all became soft-footed shrimps, but it did not prevent them from speaking cruelly.
They are usually accustomed to the masters, as long as the Zhang family's brand is displayed, they are all characters who walk sideways on the three-acre land of Hongnong County.
"The secretary of the military department?" Zhao Xun said to himself.
"You know you're scared, don't you kneel?"
"What kind of medicine did you take? hand over the antidote quickly, otherwise Uncle will have your good-looking." ”
"The Zhang family dares to provoke, they simply don't know whether they are alive or dead!"
"A bunch of little thieves, I really don't know how thick the sky is!"
Zhang Fan's subordinates saw that Zhao Xun's tone was a little soft, and they shouted one after another, but unfortunately they were weak and couldn't move, otherwise they would have rushed up a long time ago.
Zhao Xun sneered, and instructed left and right: "Beat it into a pig's head, tie it all up, what kind of bullshit is in the hands of Uncle Ben, and dare to be so arrogant, it's just tired of being tired." ”
Cao Hao picked up a bench and smashed it at Zhang Fan, who was forcing poison.
"Click!"
Zhang Fan was slapped with blood all over his head and fell to the ground.
The fat bear Chen Lianbao and others also sneered, punched at a group of soft-footed shrimp, and then tied them up with ropes.
Then he yelled at the servants: "You all stay for me, nothing is wrong with you, if you dare to sneak away, be careful that the masters turn their faces ruthlessly." ”
The servants nodded hurriedly, and they didn't dare to come out.
Screaming and howling came and went, and the chaos was unbearable.
"Are you really not afraid of death? Aren't you afraid of Hongnong Taishou? Aren't you afraid of the Zhang family? Let me tell you, Hongnong Taishou often sends people to patrol, and those who know each other will immediately hand over the antidote, and then give me the go, I can consider not making trouble for you. Seeing that the other party was really coming, Zhang Fan endured the pain in his head, forced himself to calm down, and thought about bluffing the other party first.
How can there be such a person?
It's just a bunch of outlaws.
This is something that Zhang Fan and others have never encountered.
"We, the Hanshui Gang, are afraid of Hongnong Taishou? What kind of bullshit will we be afraid of? To tell you the truth, the Hanshui Gang will enter Hongnong County sooner or later, and we are just here to explore the way. Cao Hao sneered.
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Fan and his group looked like earth.
It's actually a member of the Hanshui Gang!
No wonder so arrogant.
Zhao Xun moved a stool and sat down, took a good moment, looked at Zhang Fan, and said, "You are the leader, give you a chance, first tell me, where is the money in your house?...... It doesn't matter, I can tear off your bones one by one first, and then send someone to search them properly. ”
Zhang Fan finally didn't want to harden his mouth, and quickly thought about the strategy.
The money he had saved for several years was all in the house, could he just take it out?
