In the Southern Song Dynasty, wars continued, and the strong was respected. In such a world, in fact, most people living at the bottom of society still believe in the law of the jungle where the weak eat the strong. Not everyone here is willing to lend a helping hand to the weak for free.
But in any case, the unintentional behavior of Xinwang Zhaozhen won him the favor of the other party. After the boy took a sip of water, his cough was obviously much easier. But he didn't have the strength to speak, and was silent for a while, but the girl first asked: "Sir, I heard you are very good?"
The letter king Zhao Zhen was taken aback, thinking that this question was a weird question, and it seemed that he really couldn't answer this question. And he said he was great? Still not great? He smiled and shook his head and replied: "Reluctantly..."
"Reluctantly is very powerful." I heard that the swordsmen outside have some kind of martial arts master level. Surely the eldest brother is also such a person, right? "The girl asked.
Xin Wang Zhao Zhen glanced at them, and for a while did not understand why they would be interested in this. But what martial arts high-power algorithm is basically a vague concept. Only for those who are also in martial arts, there is a general concept for martial arts masters, that is, below the master of martial arts, and above the general martial artist.
As for the common people, you can say that a man who can defeat two young men who can't know martial arts is considered a martial arts master, and you can also say that the enemy is a martial arts master.
However, it’s not a secret to know the martial arts or martial arts masters among the population of the rivers and lakes. In fact, there are many people who know about them. It's just that what the common people used to spread falsehood is not in line with the reality.
"It's barely enough, it's almost." Xinwang Zhao Zhenxin imagined that he was so young and possessing martial arts high-strength strength is already very eye-catching. Most of the swordsmen in his hand who entered the high-end martial arts are at least 30 or 40 years old. The prime of life.
However, he is of course the less conspicuous the better here, so he answered casually.
He saw the two people on the opposite side glance at each other, and then the girl asked again: "Big Brother, are all the people like you? I mean that... someone with high martial arts?"
The letter king Zhao Zhen glanced at them and said: "Of course not, as you know, people with high martial arts strength are already very powerful in the arena. I am afraid that most of them are sold to the emperor's house as generals and generals."
He didn't withdraw his lie. No matter how strong he was, who would be a quagmire ranger, unless it was the kind of person who likes to wander around, but that kind of person is not in the majority after all.
But after answering, he added a question: "What do you ask this for?"
"We want to take a look outside." This time the boy spoke.
"Will you go to the world?" Xinwang Zhao Zhen said with a smile, are these guys showing their heads? The boy nodded.
Xin Wang Zhao Zhen thought that it was not a good choice to go to the world in this chaotic era, but he did not discourage him. To a certain extent, in fact, working here as a laborer is not good for him. He is also a young man. Naturally, although it is impractical to understand the other side, it is also the dream of many young people in this era to pursue ideas. .
However, when he looked at the other party, he suddenly remembered that the other party knew more about this official grain warehouse than he knew, and the other party seemed to have removed a little wariness from him. Isn't it a good opportunity to inquire about the news
So he thought for a while and asked, "I heard that the official grain warehouses in Fengyang, Fengzhou, are all the grain gathering places on Jinghu Lake Road, right?"
The boy shook his head and said, "Although it is not all the food on Jinghu Lake Road, it is also gathered here from several nearby grain-producing villages and towns."
The letter king Zhao Zhen thought that as expected, it seemed that the information provided by Ji Yuntian was not wrong. Suddenly he had a vague idea in his mind, so he said, "It sounds like there is a lot of food here?"
The boy exchanged a look with the girl next to him again, but this subtle movement did not escape the eyes of Xin Wang Zhao Zhen. In fact, they knew that Wang Zhaozhen came for a different purpose, and now it seems that he really came here for food, which is in line with the identity of a young master of the family. However, if the granary officials are fornicating to buy grain, they will not go into the granary in person to experience the life of hard labor.
"Of course more." The boy nodded slowly.
"Do you want to hear?" "Of course." Xinwang Zhao Zhen took out a piece of broken silver worth three dollars, and said: "Tell me carefully, I can pay you." He noticed that the other party already knew that he was a bad person. But it doesn't matter. Even if they guess again, they can't guess that they are going to take the entire granary.
In the early morning, passing through the sky to the east and west, the darkness slowly faded, and a pale purple and blue scenery loomed up into the sky. After the stars gradually faded into the white of the curtain, the forest on the top of the mountain, under such dim light, appeared. A unique green forest shadow.
But the time in the granary area was even earlier, and the sky was still dark, and the sound of a wooden whistle sounded.
The flickering light of the lantern flashed in a deep darkness, and the letter king Zhao Zhen was called out of the thatched house like the others. In the bleak and cold air in the mountains and forests before dawn, he was a little at a loss looking at the things in his hands.
But this is not the key. What caused him to sigh was that he was pulling a wheelbarrow full of sacks at this time, ready to go to the warehouse.
Xin Wang Zhao Zhen weighed the handle of the wheelbarrow, and couldn't help but laugh at herself for a while. However, he raised his head and carefully distinguished the figures in the distant crowd. He quickly found the existence of Miao Yufeng, Ma Yueying and No.1 from a few familiar shades. They obviously saw him staying in the forest at night. The mark below has been dressed up as a laborer and mixed in the crowd at this moment.
They wear headscarves, which is not uncommon among the mountain people, but the dirty clothes on them were bought by the king of faith, Zhao Zhen, who spent money from those young people. The other party has a great way here and provided him with a great deal. The convenience.
But the biggest gain was the news he got from the frail young man, that is, the rumor that the official grain warehouse outside Fengyang City, Fengzhou, was in contact with other places. At that time, he had a faint thought in his mind when he heard the other party, and afterwards he finally connected this thought to his plan.
As for the success of this plan, it depends on the actual situation today.
Even Xin Wang Zhao Zhen himself did not expect that his opportunity would come so quickly.
However, when he was considering these issues, he felt that someone pushed himself with his elbow from behind. He turned his head vigilantly, only to find that it was Qiao Ling.
It turned out that the boy saw him in a daze here, so he ran to remind him. Qiao Ling said: "Be careful. Go inside when you get the sack. You will get a whip if you are too late." The young man walked past him and whispered.
The letter king Zhao Zhen first felt whether his money bag was still on him, and then he turned his head, and he saw that the weak boy on the other side nodded to him from a distance. Obviously, the other party asked Qiao Ling to remind him. .
After a short period of time yesterday, these teenagers are no longer as vigilant about him as they were before, but the frail teenager is willing to help him, obviously out of thanks.
Xin Wang Zhao Zhen felt that the other party was actually unwilling to owe him favor, and he had something to do with him. This was in his expectation, but he did not expect that this weak young man seemed to have a higher status among this group of people than he thought.
He thought for a moment, turned his head and quickly followed, and asked in a low voice, "Where should I go?"
Qiao Ling already knew that the king of letter Zhao Zhen came here as a pretense, so he was not surprised by his problem, and just whispered: "Since I don't know, I will come with us. I know where there are fewer people under surveillance and more food."
"Thanks."
"This is not free help." The boy turned his head and rubbed his fingers solemnly, and said, "Are you rich?"
"Natural." Xinwang Zhao Zhen smiled slightly.
After the two entered the granary, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen discovered that the granaries were huge, and when they entered the granaries, the light naturally became soft and dim. Humans’ granaries in Fengyang, Fengzhou, were covered with bamboo rows.
It was not only Xinwang Zhao Zhen and Qiao Ling who entered the granary group. The laborers entered the granary from several main entrances and quickly dispersed. He looked around and saw Miao Yufeng, No.1 and Ma Yueying silently blending into the crowd when he swept his eyes in a certain direction. He felt a little relieved in his heart, and then he withdrew his gaze and followed Joe ahead without saying a word. Mausoleum advances.
The place Qiao Ling said was far away from the center, but not the extreme edge of the granary.
Most of the shipping areas of grain warehouses are concentrated on the periphery. Xin Wang Zhao Zhen and Qiao Ling walked for about ten minutes before they arrived at the area they chose.
But as soon as they entered the granary, what happened next surprised Qiao Ling who was walking in front.
The teenager originally thought that Xinwang Zhaozhen would not be used to the low and depressing environment of the grain storage in the granary. In fact, he was ready to slow down so that the opponent could keep up. The aisle here is not as wide as the hall under the warehouse, and it will be bloodied if you accidentally bump into it.
But the fact is not what he imagined, the king of letter Zhao Zhen came here like a fish in water. He saw the letter king Zhao Zhen walking forward as if walking on the ground, even when he walked through low and cluttered partitions, he was more proficient in avoiding obstacles than he himself, and even had some movement skills even Qiao Ling had watched. shock.
The young man was almost stunned. What kind of young master is here and there, his movements are extremely fast, he is simply a stunt and acrobat.
And the two of them moved forward, not even more than half of his usual time. In the end, even Qiao Ling didn't know how he kept up with each other. The inside of the warehouse was so hot that when he stopped, he couldn't help but wiped his sweat, panting like an ox.
Qiao Ling never thought that he would be in this huge warehouse, chasing people to catch up with a breathless day, since he worked here for three years, it has been a long time since he felt this way.
Then the letter king Zhao Zhen looked forward with the faint light source.
Here are all food, naturally it is impossible to use an open flame, and can only work under a little light leaking in from the vent. The light was so dim that it could be described as terrible, even inferior to the faint candlelight, but the light halo still barely portrayed the uneven shadows around it.
At this time, he heard a string of footsteps coming from behind. The two of them looked back and found that it was the frail young man and Ma Dong and his party. The other party was obviously surprised when they saw them. Ma Dong asked suspiciously, "Joe. Ling, are you so fast?"
Qiao Ling glanced at Xinwang Zhao Zhen, panting, and nodded to his companion.
"The place you chose is good." Xin Wang Zhao Zhen looked at these young people, and then when there was no guard or overseer around him, he said.
"Humph!" Ma Dong snorted softly, "You can see it?"
"There are fewer people here, so we can do more work, and we will be able to deal with each other better in the future?" Xin Wang Zhao Zhen said with a smile.
The letter king Zhao Zhen said that there are no guards here. Naturally, in order to find a way to secretly transport a part of these grains, the young people find a suitable buyer to get rid of it. That is a lot of wealth.
In fact, most people like them have their own way to do something sneaky. As for the official grain warehouse, it's not that I don't know it, but that it has been repeatedly banned. Of course, once caught, you will be beaten to death.
When the letter king Zhao Zhen was about to check the condition of the surrounding grains and the structure of the granary, a voice suddenly sounded. "Wait...Wait a minute." The weak youth stopped him and said, "Brother, you'd better wait a while before doing personal affairs..."
The letter king Zhao Zhen stopped and asked, "Why..."
"The supervisory union will come to check, you'd better wait until he leaves..." the boy replied.
"When will he come?" Xin Wang Zhao Zhen asked suspiciously. "A quarter of an hour, sometimes half an hour..."
The letter king Zhao Zhen frowned and asked, "Will I come again..."
"Yes, the supervisor will come once every hour, but the exact time is hard to say." "A few hours, it seems to be enough..." Xinwang Zhao Zhen thought. Then he nodded and replied: "Thanks!" At the same time, he thought that this was the benefit of buying people's hearts.
He picked up the sack and directly lifted hundreds of catties of grain and fell down. Under the powerful and non-human strength, the grain fell into the sack like a landslide. However, what really surprised Qiao Ling, Ma Dong and others was that Xin Wang Zhao Zhen's techniques were so skillful that he was filled with dozens of sacks of grain in a few seconds.
Ma Dong and the others did it very quickly. Soon, nearly a hundred sacks of grain were packed. After the supervisor came and counted the quantity, they could move out and pay a portion of the difference.
The overseer came soon. The arrogant overseer was a fat middle-aged man. After counting the food, he asked everyone to carry it down to load the truck and continue to work. After the explanation, the supervisor left immediately.
Liu Dashan's ability to come to this official grain warehouse to be an official in charge, on the one hand, has received the attention of the court, but on the other hand, it is also due to the proper management of various relationships, especially Mrs. Zhang Jun, who has made great contributions. As the junior of a line of nephews and nephews of Mrs. Zhang Jun's family, he hitched a ride all the way to here, only to enter the staff of that Master Zhang Jun after his tenure expired.
Liu Dashan knew that this official grain warehouse was highly valued by the imperial court, and after successfully achieving political success here, it would eventually become popular. Therefore, he is full of enthusiasm for this appointment, and it can even be said that he came to this place with pride.
For him, who took office not long ago, everything seemed so orderly until this morning.
A report awakened him from his dream. The report said that someone had witnessed a group of people holding weapons outside the granary. It was probably a large-scale bandit or a rebel army.
After hearing the news, Liu Dashan was in a cold sweat. Of course, he knew what happened to this official grain warehouse only a few years ago. If a large number of bandits attacked it, he could hardly imagine how serious the situation would be.
This news immediately made Master Liu feel uneasy. He first repeatedly confirmed the situation in the granary area, but the news was worse than the other one. After a group of soldiers disappeared in the outer suburbs, Liu Dashan knew that he was going to be out of luck.
He is very aware of his ability, but in fact he is incapable. He had originally made up his mind to come here to mix in a position that was relatively leisurely and enough to attract the attention of the court, and then took care of all the further promotion. Unexpectedly, his luck was so bad that he encountered the worst situation.
Liu Dashan was at a loss, almost paralyzed in his position. What he repeatedly thought at this time was that if he lost this official grain warehouse, Mr. Zhang Jun, who recommended him, would cut himself off.
What Zhang Tieniu saw when he opened the door was exactly like this. This was already known for his military use twenty years ago, and he was also one of the most powerful confidants of Zhang Jun's faction. The general saw that the official in charge looked desperate. Although he knew that the other party was incapable, he was just a guy coming up through the back door, but he couldn't help feeling even more contemptuous in his heart.
He had thought that the other party didn't have much ability, but he didn't expect that the mud couldn't support the wall at all, and he was paralyzed by fright when something went wrong.
He coughed before calling Liu Dashan out of his soul flying away. When Liu Dashan saw Zhang Tieniu by the door, his gray eyes lit up.
Of course he knew this old general and also the highest military commander in the granary area. Unlike him, the opponent was already a fierce general in the army decades ago. The other party came here to take charge of the military garrison in the granary area. Of course, he did not come for gilding like him, but was fully trusted by the court and Zhang Jun.
