Chapter 206 Inside and outside the village
There are thunderstorms in summer, and the sky is still clear in the morning. After noon, the sky gradually darkens, with dark clouds, and the wind is mixed with the warm earthy wind, which is mixed with a fishy smell. [Full text reading] "Please familiarize yourself with the domain name" 9vk. It looked like a big thunderstorm was about to fall in the first place.
Min Zhanlian stood in the yard with his hands behind his hands, staring at the rolling black clouds and the faint flashing lightning in the sky. He seemed to be thinking about something. Three black figures came quietly behind him.
"Say it."
"My subordinates have found out that Taoist Zhang lives in Dadianzhuang Village."
"The banker is a local gentry, and the head of the family is Zhuang Qian, who has just returned to his hometown after serving as an official in Beijing."
"Taoist Zhang went to treat Zhuang Qian's illness. Now Zhuang Qian's illness has been mostly cured, but he has been living with his apprentice at the banker's house in the name of needing recuperation."
"The banker treats him with great courtesy, and Taoist Zhang is also very popular in the banker. Everyone calls him a living god. He seems to have plans to live in the banker for a long time."
Min Zhanlian listened silently, and finally asked: "We want to go in and kill people, can we do it?"
The three people answered in unison: "It can't be done."
"Dadianzhuang is a small town."
"There are more than 300 local warriors in the village and four teachers, all of whom are good with guns, bows and arrows."
"To enter the banker's house, you have to pass through two layers of fences. Each one is guarded by local warriors and servants. They are guarded day and night and are extremely strict."
It would not be difficult for Min Zhanlian if he just sneaked into the opponent's mansion to kill people. But the other party lives within the confines of a rural tycoon, which is much more difficult to enter than an ordinary mansion, even a mansion owned by a powerful official or gentry.
The so-called mansion is just that the walls are higher, the room is larger, and the defense force is relatively weak. Except for a few guards patrolling the courtyard, they are nothing more than watchmen working along the courtyard wall. With Min Zhanlian's ability, he subdued Or it is not difficult to avoid several nurses and watchmen.
However, Tuweizi is actually a city in disguise - no matter how high the level of martial arts masters are, the city gates are always in a state of despair. Although Min Zhanlian is young, he has been around the world for many years. No matter how big a figure you are in the world, you will never openly draw your sword and fight in the city in broad daylight. As for the number of so-called "expert" snitches and thieves, they were a step too late when running away. The city gate was closed and they were blocked in the city, and they fell into the hands of the officers and soldiers.
When the gate is closed at night, the fence is lit with lanterns and torches, and there are groups of village warriors patrolling. It is difficult to find opportunities to subdue people secretly, and even the most skilled snitches may not be able to sneak in smoothly. &*． "". Fastest update ＊＊
Three hundred rural warriors who practice regularly use long spears and hard bows. Once something strange is discovered, both sides will take action. Not to mention Min Zhanlian and his men, they will kill some of the most famous "heroes" and "devils" in the martial arts world. Called together to fight, they may not be the opponents of the local heroes.
Of course, if you insist on doing it, it's not impossible, but it's likely that a few people will die.
Min Zhanlian knew his men very well. Like him, they always put caution first in everything they do - killing people is for money, and it is useless to make more money if a person dies.
Min Zhanlian thought deeply, this matter is really difficult to handle.
Of course, there is no way to do it. The simplest one is to ask someone to deliver a letter saying that a wealthy family in the city is seriously ill and wants him to come for diagnosis and treatment. You can intercept and kill him halfway.
The problem is that this way it lacks the meaning of "God's punishment". Min Zhanlian thought of several ways to send Pirate Quanzi on the road, but none of them could be implemented on the road.
Killing him like this is not in line with the customer's requirements. It is a small matter for less money and will have a big blow to his reputation.
"I want more detailed information. Where he lives, what his environment is like, when he gets up and when he goes to bed, what items he carries with him..."
"My subordinates can't handle this."
"Oh," Min Zhanlian was stunned. The three eyes and ears of his had been working together for many years, and he rarely heard them say "it can't be done." "Why?"
"No strangers are allowed in the big shop. People from the shop must be the guarantors when entering the shop. If you stay overnight in the shop, three households must jointly guarantee it."
Because there have been constant natural disasters in the Lunan area in the past ten years, every village has a strong sense of vigilance, and the security measures are much tighter than those in prefectures and counties.
The information they have gathered so far has been obtained on the streets outside the village. It is difficult to get specific details about the bookmakers inside the big store.
If you want to enter a big store, whether you go in openly or sneak in secretly, it is very difficult for the agents because they don't have inside information - they don't even know where the main door of the banker is heading.
"You go ahead and continue to inquire about information."
"Yes!" Three black figures disappeared from under the eaves.
Min Zhanlian was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "I didn't draw the talisman, but I shouted the urgent order like a law. Why are you here?"
"I'm not a brat - looking at how helpless you are, how could I not come?" A delicate voice echoed in the yard, mixed with the rolling thunder and wind in the sky, making it look indescribably weird.
Min Zhanlian said: "You have posed a problem for us." He smiled bitterly and said, "Bullying our top students."
"This matter is not easy for me." The young woman's voice seemed to be spinning in the yard, making him unable to find his footing. Min Zhanlian suddenly became alert. Although he knew that the other party was just a treacherous tactic and did not necessarily have any harmful intentions towards him, he still exerted slight force in his hand, ready to strike the sword at any time.
"Don't be nervous." The giggles sounded again, "This religion has a lot to rely on you..."
Zhang Yingchen glanced at the yard outside the window. Ming Qing and his two young apprentices were collecting medicines to be dried in the yard, and there was a smell of an impending rainstorm in the air. Far and near, from time to time I heard someone calling: "It's going to rain, please put up the curtains quickly" and "Pack up your things".
He took off his satchel and walked into the courtyard. He stopped Ming and Qing:
"Master, I'm going to go to the upper room to take Mr. Zhuang's pulse. You and your fellow disciples will pack their things and go into the house. Don't run away!" After giving instructions, he walked up the corridor to the upper room.
Since arriving at Dadianzhuang Zhuangjia, he feels much more at ease, and at least he can sleep more soundly at night. But he didn't sit back and relax completely, and still made some emergency preparations with the things at hand.
When Zhang Yingchen came to Lunan, he also brought a set of emergency supplies, which were made standard after many reviews. A small nylon waterproof bag contains the spare ammunition for the pistol: 1 magazine, 24 rounds of ammunition, 1 offensive grenade, 2 high-yield hand-held firing flares, 1 "spirit extracted from coca leaves" "drug" and a waterproof medicine box the size of a cigarette box. It contained penicillin v potassium tablets, norfloxacin, diphenhydramine, acetaminophen, nitroglycerin, domperidone, potassium permanganate, gauze, band-aids, scalpels, needles and thread. In the middle of the nylon bag, there is a piece of gold leaf as an emergency expense.
The small bag and the Taoist priest's pistol are usually carried on his body, and the Taoist priest's outer robe cannot be seen. Place it under your pillow when sleeping. You can escape at any time if something happens.
Zhang Yingchen walked all the way but did not go directly to Shangfang. Since he comes from the 21st century, of course he knows the importance of the mass line. What's more, if he wants to preach, besides the upper-level line, the mass line is also important. So every time he went to the upper room to take Mr. Zhuang's pulse or when nothing happened, he would always go to the backyard, the big kitchen and the lower room where the servants lived, talk to the banker's servants, and diagnose and treat those who were sick - No medication fee is charged. The banker's servants were very fond of his approachable and non-snobbish style, and they all said that he was a true "monk".
When I walked to the backyard, I saw many objects piled up in the yard, including pots and pans, as well as various shovels, knives and other things. Zhang Yingchen was a Chinese medicine practitioner, and he knew at a glance that these were businessmen from a traditional Chinese medicine shop. There was also a rectangular iron cage that looked much older and was stained with rust. Several servants were scrubbing. Seeing him coming, these people put down their work and greeted him.
"What is this?" Zhang Yingchen was a little surprised.
"Taoist Master, this was used to raise deer in the medicine shop." An old servant said, "Look, there are some small ones over there, which are used to raise pangolins, black-bone chickens and the like."
It turned out that the banker had opened a large medicine shop in Yizhou City in the early years. After the medicine shop took away these items, they became useless and were kept in the warehouse in the backyard.
"Then why take it out?"
"Isn't this your merits?" Another middle-aged servant said, "Since you cured the master's disease and advised him to give up his medicine, the master said that there are constant floods, droughts and famines in the local area, and the people are suffering from diseases, so it is better to give up his medicine. We want to open a medicine shop to help all living beings. So we took care of the little ones and took out all these guys."
"Master Zhuang is a very kind man." Zhang Yingchen immediately put a high hat on Zhuang Qian.
"Who says otherwise?" said the old servant. "The master runs a shop to make a living, and we are also benefiting from it: the master has already promised my fourth grandson to work as a waiter in the shop. Otherwise, Laohuang will not be able to pick up any errands at home, and he will eat for free. Money and food from my parents!”
Zhang Yingchen knew that he had indeed talked with Mr. Zhuang about giving up his yào a few days ago. In fact, he has been secretly promoting the new Taoist ideas to him these days, instilling the doctrine bit by bit. According to the situation he has grasped, without the support and protection of the Jin gentry in the local area, it would be difficult to preach to him.
Originally, when he persuaded Mr. Zhuang to give up his yào, he actually meant to build a brand for Runshitang. Now it would be better if he wanted to open a yào store. He could make use of the various special effects in Runshitang's hands to make yào. He would not worry about not being able to control this store. yào shop.
If this Mr. Zhuang can be completely captured and become the backbone of the New Taoism in the local area, the entire Dadianzhuang will become the "battle fortress" of the New Taoism in the Yizhou area. He no longer has to worry about being attacked by other forces. You can even use local human resources to teach. At least the local believers' accents are more suitable than those from Qiongshan nòng.
