Chapter 282 Fengyun Village
"Leave this matter to me, don't worry if they don't explain it." Pei Xuan stood up and said.
Zhao Zhen listened and nodded.
"Brother Pei Xuan should also record the merits of this battle. Each of the soldiers on the expedition will be rewarded with a bottle of wine. Those who have made meritorious service will be rewarded as soon as possible." Zhao Zhen thought for a while and said to Pei Xuan.
Pei Xuan nodded in agreement.
Seeing that it was getting late, Wu Yong and the three of them said goodbye and left.
Zhao Zhen also got up and went to Cheng Wan'er's residence in the backyard. In the room, Cheng Wan'er and four others were chatting and laughing. In front of each of them was a pile of snacks and small gadgets, all of which Hu Sanniang had brought back from the main world.
When she met Zhao Zhen, Bai Zhi held up the sapodilla dagger in her hand and waved it at Zhao Zhen: "My lord, it turns out there is really a ghost. From now on, I will always carry this dagger with me."
Jin Cuilian echoed: "Yes, I heard Sanniang say that this dagger is the best to restrain ghosts."
"My mother is a Buddhist. When I was at home, I only thought that my mother was here to express my feelings. It turns out it's really useful. Don't they mean that all the Buddhas in the sky really exist, and after death, the soul really has to return to the underworld to judge the merits and demerits, so that it can be reincarnated or go to hell to atone for one's sins?" Cheng Wan'er said.
After hearing this, Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "Why worry, madam? Don't you hear the sage said: 'Respect ghosts and gods and keep them at a distance'? Although Buddhism teaches about the afterlife, Taoism talks about this life."
"Official What people say is, no one can say clearly what will happen in the next life, so it is better to live a good life." Hu Sanniang said with a smile.
After listening to what Zhao Zhen and Hu Sanniang said, Cheng Wan'er also had a lot of answers: "Ms. sir, the mud clay pottery jar with cord pattern, the gray pottery pot with sand and checkered pattern, and the The sand-grey pottery rope pattern has been placed in the small kitchen. Li Xiaoer saw it and said that these things were too old and he did not dare to use them for fear of accidentally dropping them."
Zhao Zhen said: "It doesn't matter. This thing is not very expensive, just use it.”
“After all, it is a bit out of date, and it is a steaming device. I thought that in this case, it would be used to make soup, porridge, and medicinal meals. ." Cheng Wan'er said.
Zhao Zhen nodded: "Besides these, there is also a batch of cotton cloth. You can go to the warehouse to take a look tomorrow. You can pick out some rare patterns for this batch of cotton cloth and make a few summer clothes. Wearing this cloth will make you feel like you are wearing it on a hot summer day. It's very cool after bathing."
"Send more to Buzhuang and ask Wang Qiao, the manager, to make three clothes for each of the county military commanders and magistrates, and give two extra horses. The office manager and Li Zheng also made two. They took out twenty or thirty pieces and put them in the shop. They want 10 pieces each, while supplies last. "
Cheng Wan'er said: "Don't worry, sir. , I will go to Buzhuang to arrange it tomorrow."
Zhao Zhen nodded: "Moreover, you ladies will also send ten horses back to your home, so that your parents can enjoy them."
Cheng Wan'er heard this: "I'm afraid Zhao Xing will have to make a trip to my father's place."
Zhao Zhen said: "It doesn't matter. Madam, write a letter and I will send someone to escort the old governor back tomorrow. Didn't I say last time that I would pick up my mother-in-law to stay for a few days? It's just right now."
Cheng Wan'er He responded, smiled and went to the study to write a letter.
Hu Sanniang said: "Guardian, I haven't seen my father for many days. I want to go back to Hujiazhuang tomorrow."
"That's right, your brother Hu Cheng went to the salt field to transport salt. , Grandpa is at home now, you can stay with him for three to five days, and you can take care of him. My grandpa is the most greedy, and I think he will be very happy that you brought so many fruits. I have to interrogate a few thieves tomorrow, so I can't accompany you. You can bring the female guard of the village with you."
Cheng Waner came out with the letter and when she heard Zhao Zhen's words, she asked: "Ms. Military Advisor Wu mobilized his horses and asked me to seal this matter?”
"Exactly, there is a relative in Zhujiazhuang, named Yun Tianbiao, who is stationed in Jingyang Town, Yanggu County. This time the army was mobilized. It was this person who wanted to avenge Zhujiazhuang and sent a group of people to Dulong Gang is causing trouble.”
“This Jingyang Town is under the rule of my father. Please tell my father to move this person far away.” Zhao Zhen said: “What the lady said is that I will tell Zhao Xing tomorrow. , let him mention it in front of his father-in-law, it would be best if he could be transferred away."
"It's a pity that dad is a civil servant, so he can only be transferred, but he cannot be removed from his official position. Once and for all," Cheng Wan'er said angrily.
"I also talked to my mother in the letter and asked my mother to talk to my father about it." After saying that, Cheng Wan'er turned and returned to the study.
Early the next morning, Jiao Ting, Shi Qian, and Fu Yu packed up their troops, and Zhao Xing took Cheng Wan'er's letters, cloth and other items to Dongping Mansion. Hu Sanniang brought gifts, called the female cavalry team, and went to Hujiazhuang to visit the old lady.
Zhao Zhen took Zhang Qi and more than ten men to the cell.
Pei Xuan had been waiting here for a long time. When they met, Zhao Zhen asked: "Brother, can you interrogate those who have come out?"
"Sir, after I came back yesterday, The more than ten people were interrogated separately. These people are not high-ranking, and they are no different from those interrogated by scholars."
"I saw that these people were all named Feng, so I asked these people. The situation in Fengyun Village is indeed related to the important officials of the imperial court.”
Zhao Zhen heard this and asked: "Who is it?"
"Official man, the father of Yun Tianbiao is called Yunwei, and his courtesy name is Ziyi. As a young man, he joined the army and became the governor of the whole government. During the reign of Emperor Shenzong, he served in the frontier for five years and accompanied Lao Zhongjinglue to conquer Khitan. Only one son, Yun Tianbiao, was highly valued by Lao Zhongjinglue and promoted him, so he became the general manager of Jingyang Town. "< br>
Zhao Zhen said: "Since this Yunwei has become the governor of a whole government and his martial arts are good, I wonder if he can fight again now? He is a man who has made great contributions to the country. I am afraid it will be difficult for the Japanese enemy."
Pei Xuan shook his head: "Master, this Yunwei is almost seventy years old, how can he go to the battlefield again? Furthermore, I asked these villagers that Yunwei's left arm was injured by a firearm. , he couldn’t be treated, he was bleeding too much, his muscles were contracted and his bones were injured, he couldn’t move, so there was no need to worry about running into him.”
“Besides, there are six to seven hundred households in Fengyun Village. There are only two surnames, besides Yun and Feng. This Feng surname also has a great hero named Feng Hui. He recruited local warriors in the village and set up watchtowers to guard against Lengyan bandits. "
"Thinking about it, killing these 30 villagers is enough to give Fengyun Village a headache. Even if Yun Tianbiao cannot be transferred, we are not afraid that he will transfer troops from Fengyun Village again. The bandits from Lengyan Mountain are enough to give Fengyun Village a headache."
Zhao Zhen was overjoyed when he heard this: "I never thought that I would get the glory of Lengyan Mountain. I wonder if there are any heroes in Lengyan Mountain?"
"I have already asked, the leader of Lengyan Mountain is Of the two, one is Feitian Marshal Kuang Jinlong, who has a red beard and a blue face, and uses a gold-topped mace. The other is the soul-destroying general Shamohai, who has a pimpled face and a nine-ring truncated head. Machetes. These two gathered five to seven hundred people and looted houses. "Deng Yun and Zhu Auntie set up a hotel on Feilong Ridge to attack the village many times." The merchants coming and going are all suffering, and the officers and soldiers are not willing to arrest them. Fengyun Village is also on guard day and night, so it can't do its best to help Yun Tianbiao take revenge."
Zhao Zhen nodded: "I don't know these two people. What is your temperament? If you are a loyal man, I should invite someone here to have fun together.”
Pei Xuandao: "I'm afraid I'm not from the same group. From what these villagers said, these four people are not good people. He breaks down all the villages under the mountain and kills people for fun. They are in a state of disarray within a radius of a hundred miles. No one in the village said anything good about him."
Zhao Zhen said: "In that case, there is no need to worry about him. I will just protect Liangshan County with peace of mind. Then Yun Tianbiao can't be a friend even if he comes from a distance. That's all."
"Then are these villagers going to be released?"
Zhao Zhen sneered: "His family has fought for the country, but we can't let him go. This is all because of Zhujiazhuang. He wants to take revenge. Naturally, I won't hold back here. If I really want to do it right, I want to see if he is really related to the second master."
Pei Xuandao: "This. That's right. Besides, Da Zhongjinglue is far away in the west, so he can't care about this place. And I heard that this kind of family army was also controlled by Tong Guan, so there is naturally some room for maneuver."
Zhao Zhen shook his head: "Don't worry about him. Who can tell what will happen in the future? And I have heard many times that people call Tong Guan the Six Thieves. We don't need to take the initiative to follow him."
