Chapter 42: 42 Life

It is impossible for Li Heng to be the master of Qinghe Temple for so many years without any background behind him.

And Qinghe Guanneng has been safe and sound in Huaxin County for so many years, which is enough to show Li Heng's ability.

So whether it's for the daughter-in-law or for my own future life. Zhang Xintai's attitude towards Li Heng should be paid more attention to.

"That's right." Li Heng recalled Shao Quanhu's explanation in his heart, suppressed a trace of uneasiness in his heart, and forced a smile.

"I just got some bad news, and I might ask you to come and see for yourself."

"Bad news?" Zhang Xintai was taken aback. On this great day, tell him this?

"It's related to the Yang family. If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't be in such a hurry to report to you." Li Heng explained.

He didn't know what Shao Quanhu wanted him to do to lure Zhang Xintai out, but no matter what, as long as he completed his task, the rest had nothing to do with him.

"Yanzi's family?" Zhang Xintai's face suddenly became serious.

"Just me?" He was a little puzzled.

"Sigh..." Li Heng had already prepared the draft and nodded. "It's best for you to be the only one who knows, after all, if things like that are spread out"

He was vague, and Zhang Xintai suddenly thought of something bad, and his face became more serious.

"Also ask the brother to lead the way."

Immediately, he cupped his fists, took off the conspicuous red festive coat from his body, hung it in the back room, and followed Li Heng out of the side door.

the other side.

Zhang Rongfang and a group of helpers had a busy day, so they had time to sit down, rest and eat.

The running water mat was set up all day long, and neighbors came to eat it, and even beggars had to show some kind of performance when they came to the door.

This is what it means to celebrate.

In such a day, master Zhang Xuan didn't know how much money he had spilled.

In the yard of the new house, Zhang Rongfang sat with a group of people around the brazier.

Everyone held a large pork bone with meat in their hands.

This is marinated big bone meat, just eat it like this, and put it on the hot kumiss on the brazier.

A large pile of seasonal fruits and vegetables were piled up in a tub as big as a tub beside it.

Apples, bananas, pears, hawthorns, cucumbers, and citrus are red, green, green, yellow, and yellow, and they look very appetizing.

Zhang Rongfang looked away, always feeling that the pot of things looked like something sad.

But there were too many people, and he couldn't say anything, so he had to stop grabbing and eating.

Holding the kumiss in the cup, he raised his head and took a sip, and then took a big mouthful of stewed pork.

This feels much better than the Dao meal he ate in Qinghe Palace.

The light liqueur flavor overflowing from the kumiss, mixed with the aroma of milk, turns into a quite refreshing refreshing drink.

The degree is not high, you can drink it casually.

The stewed pork is also quite authentic, soft and palatable, and fragrant.

While eating, Zhang Rongfang listened to the bragging and farting of the people around him.

The few men sitting next to him were all engaged in transportation business in the county, and they were friends Zhang Xintai had made before.

The news is much better than the average person.

Several people chatted, from eating and drinking, to Fengyue, from Fengyue to the recent big news.

Just as he was talking, he talked about the fact that the rice gang was investigated.

"Well, speaking of it, how big is the impact of the fact that the rice gang hid ordnance? The rice shop was closed for most of the time. It happened that the mother-in-law wanted to buy rice, but she couldn't find it. It was too inconvenient."

A man complained.

"There are two more in the east of the city that you can buy. Go there. Xu Shangsheng opened them. They used to belong to the Mi Gang, but later they came out and worked alone. This time they were not implicated." Another person said.

"That's not enough, when will this matter come to an end?"

"Don't worry, Mi Gang will return to normal within a week at most." One person laughed.

"How to say?"

"The accusation of possession of ordnance sounds scary, but in fact, the Mi Gang family has a great career, and it will be fine if you find two scapegoats to replace it. The Shao family doesn't have many other things, and they have a lot of money and food." The man explained. road.

"This matter looks serious, but in fact, anyone with some connections knows how did the crossbow come about? Didn't the county governor sell it himself?"

"That's right, otherwise, with the county governor's salary, it's not enough to spend a lot of money every day." The other person nodded.

"I have a brother who works in a carriage dealer. His carriage has been picked up by someone who came back from the county government at night. The one who returned is the Sihai Restaurant of the Mi Gang." One person whispered.

"Tsk tsk. Look, am I right?"

"However, if this matter is exposed, the rice gang will probably be slaughtered severely. It is estimated that in a few days, the price of rice oil will increase again."

"That's right. It's up, it's up, it's fucking up."

The topic of a group of people began to shift to the price comparison of rice prices, vegetable prices, and oil prices.

Zhang Rongfang was at the side, but his heart was agitated when he heard it.

In the historical novels he read in his previous life, it was mentioned that hiding arms and explaining them is a serious crime of treason, but now

The corruption in Huaxin County has reached this point.

"Brother. Is there no one in charge of the county governor's reselling of arms?" Zhang Rongfang couldn't help but patted the shoulder of the man who just broke the news.

"Responsible? The higher-ups are selling harder, so what should I do?" The man waved his hand, "Xiao Daoist, you are still young, and you have seen few things."

He sighed: "My great spirit sweeps all directions, as long as it is on land, no one can stop the great spirit's iron cavalry, so that there is no border army at the border, saving a lot of border defense military expenses.

But it is also because of the strong military power that in all the outland countries that were killed, a large number of messy people were arrested and returned to work as slave artisans. It's not us, it's all those who talk. "

"That's it." The other man clapped his hands and said, "Although we are divided into four classes, it is much better than expelling our mouths. The more things the Great Spirit Army snatches back, the money , the more you can buy. Don’t you enjoy more tricks?”

"Then we are on the ground far away from the sea. There is no one around who can threaten the garrison. The ordnance is still waiting to be destroyed. So there are cases of secretly selling ordnance for money everywhere.

Rather than leaving it there to eat ashes and spoil it, it is better to quietly exchange it for money. Anyway, after a period of time, they will have to replace a batch of new ones. The old ones have to be destroyed.

My big spirit doesn't have much else, I have a lot of words, and I have a lot of money! "

Zhang Rongfang also didn't expect that men in this world would talk about state affairs with a clear face.

"So that's how it is." He looked admiring, "You guys really know a lot."

"Give me a sip!"

He picked up the glass and took a big gulp of the kumiss.

The rest of the people also responded with a smile, and picked up their glasses to drink.

The atmosphere in the circle became lively, and they talked about where Daling was going to fight again recently. All of them are radiant and glossy, and they all have the posture of saying that everything is under their mouths.

Zhang Rongfang was at the side, but he was worried about the Mi Gang.

‘If there is nothing wrong with Mi Gang? Will you continue with the previous plan? '

He originally thought that it was all right, and his mood calmed down a lot, but he didn't expect to hear such things again now.

Sitting in the seat, the more he thought about it, the more worried he became.

If the rice gang continues the previous attack plan, then the master and brother may still be in danger.

Now that there are so many people, the Mi Gang won't be able to attack right away, but when the people disperse later, it may be very dangerous

The more Zhang Rongfang thought about it, the more restless he became.

Immediately, with certainty in his heart, he raised his head and drank the kumiss in the glass in one gulp.

"Big brothers, I feel a little dizzy, I have to go to rest first."

"Go, go, the Taoist leader is too weak to drink, and he will become stronger if he drinks often in the future. Haha."

"The leader of the path returns to the room and brings more fruit, so as not to be hungry at night."

"Thank you very much." Zhang Rongfang thanked again and again.

Amidst the voices of a group of people, he immediately walked towards the inner room.

In the back room there is a room specially for guests to rest.

Similarly, senior brother Zhang Xintai should be in the back room at this time.

Zhang Rongfang quickened his pace and walked towards the inside quickly. He had to tell his brother immediately about the possible sneak attack by the Mi Gang.

He just turned around in the back room, but he didn't find any sign of his senior brother.

Feel free to stop someone halfway to ask for help.

"Are you looking for the bridegroom officer? I just saw him go out with the master of your Qinghe temple. I don't know what's going on. He looks very anxious."

"Going out? It's so late? Where are they going?" Zhang Rongfang's heart trembled. Feeling a little bad.

He immediately rushed out of the yard of the new house in a few steps and looked around outside the door.

The streets were empty, with few people.

'It's so late, the city gate must be closed, they can't get out of the city. If I were the Mi Gang, the most likely thing to do would be to arrest and imprison the brother first. Wait for the city gate to open at dawn.’

‘No, if the government is so corrupt, it’s not impossible to open the city gate at night. If I’m the most likely person for the Mi Gang, I definitely won’t do it inside the city.’

Standing in front of the gate, Zhang Rongfang was full of thoughts, if something happened to the senior brother because he was involved

he.

"Rong Fang? What are you doing here?" Suddenly a familiar voice sounded from the side.

Zhang Rongfang looked over suddenly, just in time to see Zhang Xintai holding a small bag in his hand, looking at him in doubt.

"Senior brother!" Zhang Rongfang's heart suddenly relaxed, and he hurried forward to meet him.

In the south of the city, come and go inn.

"Why did you suddenly change your mind? Didn't you catch Zhang Xintai first?" Chen He looked at Chen Zhihan in confusion.

He, Lao Ding, and Chen Zhihan were standing at the back door of the inn together.

"I just got the news that Zhang Xuan is going back to the mountain tonight. We must take advantage of this opportunity to act quickly, otherwise we won't have such a good chance to place orders in the future."

Chen Zhihan frowned.

"This old man, his son didn't stay for one more day for his engagement?" Lao Ding asked puzzled.

"Perhaps it's because he's used to being withdrawn. This time his son is engaged, many people paid to invite him to join in the fun." Chen Zhihan said calmly.

He has already practiced the Talisman to the fifth rank, and the other two have also practiced the Xuansha Palm to the fourth rank. The three of them work together, even if they are at the sixth rank in full swing, as long as their martial arts are not too strong, they will only end in hatred.

What's more, the old man Zhang Xuan is so old that he only has a rank five. It's not enough to watch.

"Go." He waved his hand and took the lead towards the inn.

The other two followed closely behind.

The three of them went up the stairs and quickly found Zhang Xuan's room. The lights inside were flickering, and the sound of packing things could be heard faintly.

After exchanging glances, Lao Ding raised his right palm, charged up his whole body, and aimed at the door.

boom!

He slammed the door open and rushed in.

The other two rushed into the room together without hesitation.

"Block the window!" Chen Zhihan let out a low voice. look up.

"."

A group of burly men in the room, seven or eight pairs of eyes were fixed on him at the same time.

A strong sense of threat, like needle pricks, crazily stimulated the nerves of his whole body, making him tremble in fright.

Old Taoist Zhang Xuan was standing in the middle of this group of people, holding a half-packed package in his hand, and stared at this side in a daze.

He was taking the opportunity of his son's engagement to quietly gather with other leaders of the surrounding underground rebel army to discuss future plans.

There are a total of seven people in the group, two of the fifth rank, four of the fourth rank, and one of the sixth rank. They are respectively in charge of the territory of six nearby counties, and they just have a temporary meeting.

Looking at the three of Chen Zhihan who rushed in.

The eyes of a group of rebel leaders gradually changed from stunned to dangerous.

They must not let outsiders know about their gathering

Lao Ding, Chen Zhihan, Chen He, the complexion of the three of them turned from red to dark, and then gradually turned white, pale.

They seemed to have seen something extraordinary.
