Chapter 284: Breaking Out of Control
After the old lady arrived, another three to five days passed, and Cheng Waner accompanied the old lady on spring outings at various peaks every day. After Zhao Zhen accompanied him for two days, an official document sent Zhao Zhen back to Baishi Manor ahead of schedule.
It is said to be an official document, but it is actually a letter from home. It was sent from Laotaishan, Cheng Wanli, Dongping Prefecture.
In addition to asking about my mother-in-law's whereabouts, I also said one thing. Yun Tianbiao left Bianjing Tongguanmen Road. Because Qingzhou was mountainous and bandits were numerous, he was transferred to Masing Town, Qingzhou as the general manager.
Zhao Zhen saw it and immediately summoned Wu Yong and Zhu Wu. After showing the letter to the two of them, Zhao Zhen asked, "Two military advisors, what do you think of this matter?"
Zhu Wu thought for a moment and said, "Sir, I was chatting with Cao Zheng, the swordsman ghost, a few days ago. I once heard him say that Murong Yanda, the prefect of Qingzhou, is a relative of the current officials, relying on the influence of the girls in the palace. They are running rampant in Qingzhou, killing good people, bullying colleagues, and doing everything they can.”
“There are many mountains on the ground in Qingzhou, forcing many good villagers to go up to the mountains to become kings, and there are more than a few who cut paths in the woods. Now there are [Tiger Fighting General] Li Zhong and [Little Overlord] Zhou Tong. Qingfeng Mountain has [Jin Maohu] Yan Shun. Baihu Mountain now also has [Mao Tou Xing] Kong Ming and [Dude Mars] Kong Liang. Seven hundred people. "
"These three places are nothing, but the most dangerous one is Qingzhen Mountain, where there are [Broken Scale Python] Ma Yuan, [Iron City Wall] Zhou Xing, and [Fei Lian]. Huangfuxiong, [Black God Killer] Wang Bochao, [Guijianchou] Lai Yonger, and [Liejue Dalang] Helian Jinming occupied the place, and there were countless other small groups of ungrateful bandits who robbed houses every day. "
"Now that Yun Tianbiao has gone here, he must kill the bandits everywhere in order to get promoted. I am afraid that he will come back to fight against us in the future."
Zhao Zhen. After hearing this, he frowned and said: "How can this be a good thing?"
Wu Yong said: "Sir, since these places have been established on the top of the mountain for many years and Murong Yanda has not destroyed them, I think he has some skills. There is some interaction with us in Taohua Mountain, so why not send someone to go there and talk to the two Let the two of them send a message to each mountain. Be careful and defend against the mountains. It will not be so easy to capture."
Zhao Zhen heard this and saw Wu Yong. Still frowning, he asked: "What do you think?"
Wu Yong heard this: "I wanted to move him away from a distance, but I didn't expect that he would jump out of Dongping Mansion. It will be difficult to control from now on. Qingzhou The prefect is corrupt, and it all depends on the soldiers and horses to supervise Qin Ming and [Zhen Sanshan] Huang Xin. This ensures that bandits here do not dare to trouble the prefecture."
"Especially [Pilihuo]. Huo] Qin Ming, who is as fierce as fire and has courage that no man can match. Another one once heard Song Gongming say that there was a Zhizhai in Qingfeng Village [Xiao Liguang] Hua Rong, and he was a good friend. The best shooter is afraid of getting mixed up with Yun Tianbiao."
"I want to go to Qingzhou in person and communicate with Taohuashan and other places. I want to pay a visit to the official figures in Qingzhou and make a good relationship.”
Zhao Zhen said: "How long will it take for the scholar to get here?"
"I will take a few people and hurry up to go to Qingfeng Village before Yun Tianbiao. As for Qin Ming and Huang Xin, can they See you when you see me. If you can’t see me, don’t delay. I’ll be back in ten days at most.” When docked at the Xixi Village Pier, Hu Cheng and others were urging the villagers to transport salt to the warehouse. The fish and other items they brought back were also delivered to the village. "
Zhao Zhen said: "Go and invite the three brothers to the village. Let's get together." Zhao Yuanli responded and left.
Zhao Zhen went on to say: "It would be best if the scholar can go there, and it would be best if a few people can be persuaded to vote. It happened that the six brothers Wang Ding came back, and Shi Qian, the scholar brought these two brothers with him. , there is also care along the way.”
After hearing this, Wu Yong nodded and said: "Although the Taohuashan people did not come to seek refuge with the high officials, they did send gifts. The high officials can allocate some weapons to send as courtesy." Zhao Zhen said: "Jiazhou County. I can even out some leather armor, but I can give more weapons.”
Wu Yong said: “It doesn’t take too much, just ten pairs of leather armor and some weapons. That’s more. It’s not convenient to send it away, so pick some horses and pack it up, and go immediately.”
After hearing this, Zhao Zhen nodded in agreement. Let Zhao Yuanli go to the armor-making workshop to choose ten pairs of new leather armors, and then go to the blacksmith workshop to choose fifty-refined plain knives with a hundred handles. He also asked Zhao Ji to call Shi Qian.
After a while, Hu Cheng, Du Xing, and Wang Dingliu arrived first. When talking about going to Binzhou Saltworks, Hu Cheng looked excited: "Brother-in-law, the scenery on the sea is indeed different from that on the road. I have gained a lot of experience after this trip."
Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "Brother, it's good if you like it. Will this trip go smoothly?"
Hu Cheng replied: "The sailors on the ship are all experienced people who have been on the road several times, and there was no trouble at all along the way. Saltworks docking It was still You Dalang who saw the token, asked about the situation of Liu Tang and Yan Liu brothers, and then made the deal. We saved up the sea salt for the whole winter and bought some directly before leaving. Bring the fish back."
Hu Cheng took a sip of tea and then said: "Brother-in-law, when is the next trip?"
Zhao Zhen said: "I have to rest for three to five days, and I still have to worry about it. My brother will lead the team to go there again. Now that the population in the county is increasing, there is a lot of salt shortage. From now on, we will make two trips a month before winter, either to stock up or sell it. "
< br>"This time I am going to take away the six brothers Wang Ding and go with the military advisor to Qingzhou, and only you and brother Du Xing will lead the way."
After hearing this, Hu Cheng and Du Xing hurriedly said: "The two of us also have a rough understanding of the nature of water, and we can handle it in a short time."
Wang Dingliu asked: "I don't know what I want to do, big official." What? "
Zhao Zhen was about to speak when he saw Shi Qian walking in. After seeing the ceremony, Zhao Zhen said: "Xuetuo, you can go ahead after you pack up. I won't see you off here. You can choose the accompanying sergeants and horses yourself."
Wu Yongdao: "Don't worry, high official, I will I'll take care of it." After that, he called Wang Dingliu and Shi Qian out of the meeting hall.
Seeing the three people leaving, Zhao Zhen turned to Hu Cheng and Du Xing and said: "The three scholars went to Qingzhou to see if they could recruit a few heroes. Nowadays, Liangshan still needs capable brothers to help. You If there is a good guy between the two of you, I can recommend him.”
Hu Cheng shook his head: "Brother-in-law, I grew up in Dulonggang. I have been around Dulonggang every day. I have never been to other places and I don't know any good guys."
Du Xing said: "Big officials, small people He also went to the north to do business. He beat his accomplice's customer to death in one breath and was imprisoned in Jizhou Prefecture. He tried his best to rescue him. He is a very skilled martial artist. Unfortunately, he is only a minor official in the government and cannot be promoted. ”
