Zhihua sighed: "Ma Qiang is a fool, Shen Zhongyuan calculates that he is not ready to capture?" Deng Che took the green forest road in Xinyang Prefecture to the king of Xiangyang a long time ago, Shen Zhongyuan nominally told Ma Qiang that they were supported by the people of Xiangyang and Xinyang, let him date Ma Gang, and gather all the people and horses who could gather in Bawangzhuang.

Hua Chong's heart flashed, and he said: "Shen Zhongyuan, this is killing two birds with one stone!"

Zhihua shook his head helplessly: "In the end, I fell into his calculations, I originally thought that with my ability, even if I couldn't separate Ma Qiang and Shen Zhongyuan to turn their faces, at least I could hold on until you came." But he didn't expect Shen Zhongyuan to have such a clever idea. He ordered Deng Che and Yao Suo to go straight to the Hangzhou Mansion and assassinate the Hangzhou Prefect! The Hangzhou Prefect spent all day drinking, sleeping in flowers and willows, often not living with his wife and concubines, and he could not be seen in the back house for a month and a half. They secretly killed the prefect and disguised themselves as disguises, so that they could fight in Hangzhou in the future, and this person could be their internal response. By the time the Caixia County Lord and Shen Zhongyuan came to Overlord Village, they had already done this, and all that was left was to get rid of Ma Qiang and take over his forces. ”

Hua Chong lowered his head and pondered for a while, then suddenly raised his head and said, "Do you say that this idea came from Zhao Caixia or Shen Zhongyuan?"

Zhihua was stunned: "That county lord looks arrogant on weekdays, but he is very decent, not the kind of person who has whimsical ideas or is quite deep in the city, although his martial arts are good, but he doesn't necessarily have such an idea, right?"

Hua Chong said: "Judging from my confrontation with her today, this person is very anxious, not calm, Bawangzhuang killed the prefect in advance, and then removed Ma Qiang, although he acted neatly, but he was a little impatient, on the surface, he killed two birds with one stone, but if he thought about it carefully, he was a little risky." What's more, apart from Ma Qiang, what good is it for them?"

Zhihua said: "Kill Ma Qiang, and the king of Xiangyang can be respected by those green forest thieves." Those people originally disdained to be in the company of Ma Qiang's generation, Ma Qiang could become the wings of the king of Xiangyang, because he was Ma Chaoxian's nephew, and his wife was Guo Huai's own family. Now that Ma Chaoxian and Guo Huai are dead, keeping Ma Qiang, a person who has done a lot of evil and notorious, will only block the king of Xiangyang. With the more than 1,000 people under them, most of them are not good people, even if they are all given to Zhao Jue, he may not be able to see them. Get rid of the prefect, there is no need for Hangzhou to have Bawangzhuang. ”

Speaking of this, Zhihua looked up to the sky and sighed: "It's a pity that I guessed wrong from the beginning, this Shen Zhongyuan is really powerful! If I hadn't invited Brother Ouyang and Bai Daxia in advance, I'm afraid that we would all fall in love with him this time." ”

Hua Chong felt that what Zhihua said was reasonable, he thought a little shallowly, this black demon fox is also a character, and he hasn't seen through the true purpose of this matter, but people know it in their chests.

"What's next for Zhi Daxia?"

Zhihua said: "Of course I left this place, the king of Xiangyang knows my identity, I can't do anything anymore, and Zhu Jiangzhen can't gain a foothold here, if his father agrees to give me his daughter, I will take her out of this place, travel the world, and wait for the good news that Lord Hua will avenge my father." ”

Hua Chong smiled: "Zhi Daxia will be a carefree son in the future, he is really envious of the little brother." I originally wanted to ask Zhi Daxia to go to Kaifeng Mansion with me, but it seems that there is no play?"

Zhihua was noncommittal, and showed a slight smile: "There are countless capable people around Lord Hua, which is enough to sweep the rivers and lakes and punish the evil and eliminate the evil." But I don't know what Lord Hua plans to do next?"

Hua Chong pondered for a moment and said: "Let's go back to Beijing first, this business trip is a secret decree of long live, and I should return to Beijing to restore my destiny after this incident." After that, if there is a will, I should follow the will, if there is no will, I plan to divide the army and send generals to explore several forces under the command of the king of Xiangyang. ”

Zhihua hurriedly stopped: "Don't do it, several people and horses under the command of the king of Xiangyang are ready to move, if you divide the troops and send generals, I am afraid that you will startle the snake." I have a message that might be useful to you. ”

Hua Chong hurriedly asked, "Could it be the whereabouts of Zhao Caixia and the others?"

Zhihua said in a low voice: "It is this matter, I secretly heard them discussing a few days ago, planning to go to Hongze Lake, it seems that there is a big matter to do, but I only heard that you are coming to Bawangzhuang, so they stayed here and wanted to get rid of the adults." ”

Hua Chong thought secretly: "This Hongze Lake is a big place, in the original work, it seems that a group of water thieves are entrenched here, and the king of Xiangyang subdues them, robs the passing merchants, and blocks the waterway to create floods. If Zhao Caixia and the others go to Hongze Lake, they will definitely make a big move!"

Thinking of this, Hua Chong was about to ask a detailed question, when he suddenly saw a burst of dust and smoke in front of him, and two fast horses galloped over. Hua Chong hurriedly took the mount, stroked the hilt of the sword, and stood on the horse according to the sword, and Zhanzhao, Bai Yutang and others behind also stopped and looked ahead.

The two horses galloped to the front, and the knight on the horse in front saw Hua Chong and the others, and was about to speak, but he felt that his eyes were dark, and he couldn't control it anymore and fainted in front of the horse. The knight in the back was a little better than the man in front, and he came to Hua Chong strongly, turned over and dismounted, and cried: "My lord, my humble position is insulting to my life, I beg my lord to punish me!"

Hua Chong saw it clearly, it was Jiang Fan who fainted in front of him, and it was Huang Mao who knelt on the ground and cried! Hua Chong also turned over and dismounted, and pulled Huang Mao up, only to see that both of them were in tattered clothes, and Huang Mao still had a few wounds on his body.

"Huang Mao, what's going on?"

Huang Mao wiped a handful of tears and said in a trembling voice: "My lord, damn it, the two of us went to Hangzhou to transfer troops, and before we entered the city, we were intercepted by the bronze gibbon monkey Yao Suo, the two of us are not opponents, if it weren't for the wisdom of Daxia and Uncle Bai and that Ouyang Daxia together to save me and Jiang Fan, I am afraid that it will delay the important matter of the adults." After the three masters took Yao Suo, we went to the Hangzhou Mansion together, and the Zhi Daxia next to you on the road told us that the prefect was fake, taught us a set of words, and let us deceive him, that guy was really fooled, and was exposed by us on the spot, and was imprisoned in the Ya, and then we notified the local general soldiers, and asked them to support the adults, and our brothers guarded Yao Suo and the fake prefect, but we didn't expect ......"

Hua Chong said angrily: "I didn't expect anything? Did they be rescued by someone?"

Huang Mao knelt down again: "My lord's expectation is not bad, a group of people just came, led by a woman, they entered the mansion, killed the government soldiers, and rescued the fake prefect and Yao Suo together." ”

Zhihua sighed: "This Shen Zhongyuan killed us again!"

Hua Chong picked up Huang Mao again: "You have done your best, you don't have to blame yourself so much, those people are all first-class masters in the martial arts, how can the two of you fight with those tolerances and government soldiers." Seeing that your wound must be the result of a bloody battle, go down and rest quickly. ”

After that, Hua Chong turned around and said to Han Jie and Du Shun: "The two of you take Jiang Fan and Huang Mao back to Bawangzhuang quickly, find a military doctor for treatment, and let Second Brother Han bring more officers and soldiers to return to Hangzhou to arrest this group of thieves." ”

Then Hua Chong said to everyone: "Everyone, follow me to Hangzhou and arrest this group of thieves!"

Everyone beat their horses and whipped and galloped towards Hangzhou Mansion. When everyone arrived in Hangzhou, Hua Chong revealed his identity and ordered the city gate army to close the city gate, and all the four gate guards came to see him. Then he went straight to the mansion, and when he arrived at the mansion, he saw that it was indeed a fierce battle, and dozens of corpses were left on the ground, most of them were dressed in official clothes.

Zhihua sighed: "Those who fled were their elites, except for the two hundred black-clothed people in this battle, they had almost no losses, and the Hangzhou Mansion had a lot of losses." Lady Hana, let's go to the treasury and have a look. ”

Hua Chong's heart sank, and he hurriedly ordered someone to lead the way, and before he reached the treasury, he saw billowing smoke. Hua Chong stomped his feet and said hatefully: "People are calculated everywhere!"

Bai Jintang clasped his hands together and said: "Amitabha, Brother Hua Xian doesn't have to be like this, just now when you persuaded Huang Mao, what you said was very good, why did you blame yourself so much when it came to yourself?"

Hua Chong ordered people to hurry up to put out the fire, and then said to Bai Jintang dejectedly: "Since my debut, this is the first time that I have been calculated to death by others. If it weren't for the help of a few of you, I'm afraid that the Overlord Village, where our captain is located, would be wiped out. ”

Bai Jintang comforted: "That Shen Zhongyuan is known as 'Little Zhuge ', you are just a newcomer, so you are naturally not his opponent." With your intelligence, if you have one or two more confrontations, you will be able to figure out his routine, are you still afraid that he will not succeed?"

Hua Chong sighed, stopped speaking, and put out the fire with everyone with a dark face. Fortunately, when everyone came, the fire was not big, and it was extinguished, and only a small part of the stored grain was lost, and there were several thousand taels of silver, which were led by the people. One of the generals guarding the gate had already knelt on the ground and cried that it was from his jurisdiction that the gang had been killed.

Zhihua, Bai Jintang and others naturally persuaded again, after all, people have already run away, it is more important to deal with the affairs of Hangzhou, and throw down a Hangzhou city without a prefect, I am afraid that the chaos will be even bigger.

Hua Chong was also helpless, and after checking the loss, he first set up the temporary office location in the prefect's yamen, and all the civil and military personnel in Hangzhou rushed to meet him. This is the first time Hua Chong has enjoyed this kind of senior leadership treatment, and the depressed mood of this day has finally eased.

After he interrogated them one by one, there seemed to be no problem with other officials in Hangzhou, but corruption was indispensable for this kind of person, and it would be nice if it could be handed over to Bao Zheng to deal with. Fortunately, Hua Chong has dealt with Chen Zhou officials with Bao Zheng, and he is very familiar with Bao Zheng's handling method similar to "shuanggui". So a number of officials at all levels in Hangzhou were left in the government, and Han Jie and Du Shun took people to search. After some searching, these people did not have any other problems except that "the source of the huge wealth is unknown", after all, there was no problem of style in those days, and some of the practices of these officials were still reasonable and legal.

After a busy night, Hua Chong finally finished investigating the officials in Hangzhou, Hua Chong gathered everyone together, and Jiang Ping and others also came back from Bawangzhuang. Zhu Huanzhang learned that his daughter was unharmed, and he was very grateful to Hua Chong and others, so Jiang Ping proposed to be a matchmaker for her daughter, and the old-fashioned old master did not refuse, but just wanted to meet the future son-in-law in person.

Hua Chong couldn't refuse this request, so he could only invite Zhihua and Zhu Huanzhang's father and daughter to a room next to them and let them talk by themselves. Then he discussed with the others what to do next. Bai Jintang, Ouyang Chun, and the Ding sisters all met by chance, and whether they were willing to help or not had to make their own decisions.

Ding Yuehua and Ding Yueying secretly hid aside and muttered quietly, Bai Jintang chuckled when he saw this, and was the first to say: "The little monk and Ouyang Shi are going to Shaolin, what plan does Lord Hua have to say next, where are you going, and when we return from our trip to Shaolin, where will we go to find you." ”

Hua Chong said: "I don't hide it from you, Zhi Daxia once told me on the road that he overheard Shen Zhongyuan and Zhao Caixia discussing that they were going to Hongze Lake, as if something big had happened, so I was going to go to Hongze Lake to see what was going on." ”

Bai Jintang was slightly surprised: "Hongze Lake is not the Overlord Village, that place depends on a few of you, I'm afraid I can't go there." ”

Ouyang Chun's face was also very solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "This Hongze Lake is one of the 'Five Lakes, Three Villages and Eight Famous Mountains', and it is extremely powerful, and Wu Ze, the owner of Hongze Lake, is even more difficult!"

Jiang Ping stroked his beard and smacked: "That guy is the chief scoop of the world's water thieves, it's not easy to mess with." ”

Hua Chong was stunned for a moment, and blurted out a word: "One Piece?"
