A scribe next to him smiled and said, "Brother Zhang is very interested! I just wonder how you will be doing in ten years?"
Mr. Zhang laughed and said, "Don't you understand? If we can't bring down Wu Ninghou within ten years, we will have no future!"
Everyone was silent for a long time after hearing this, and the atmosphere was a little stagnant for a while! But then someone suddenly said loudly: "Everyone, Wu Ninghou may not love money and lust, but there are not many people in the world who can resist these two things! There are so many people in the court, can't we bribe it? I'm afraid we will use In less than ten years, he will die without a burial place!"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the courtyard suddenly became lively, and everyone expressed their support for this statement! Because they have never seen a few people in these years who are not impressed by these two things, it's just the quantity needed!
Mr. Zhang also said with satisfaction: "This is exactly the truth, so you don't have to worry too much! Okay, I'm going to see the head of the family, you guys need to take a rest first!"
When Mr. Zhang rushed to the garden again, he saw five people listening to a violinist playing the piano! Just listen to the melodious and sweet sound of the piano, which is very attractive! Even Mr. Zhang slowed down and walked over slowly, but he did not approach the pavilion. Instead, he stood far away and relaxed and listened to a piece of music.
After the music ended, he quickly walked to the pavilion and said, "Master, the plan has been drawn up. Do you want to take a look at it?"
Qiu He stretched out his hand and said, "Bring it here, everyone should take a look!"
Mr. Zhang handed over the document with the plan with both hands. Qiu He took it and looked through it briefly before giving it to others. As for him, he is very satisfied with this plan, and Mr. Zhang has been his staff for many years, and he is very reliable in doing things. He can trust it, and he believes that everyone will accept this plan.
Sure enough, after reading through it, the other four people said that this plan was completely usable, and He Yunshan even said that the money given was a little less! According to what he said, you can have as much money as you want. If you are more generous to the people below, they will be willing to work harder! So because of his words, Qiu He made the decision and increased the promised money by 30%!
Mr. Zhang was naturally extremely happy when he got an extra 30% of the silver! On the one hand, they have more room to line their own pockets! On the other hand, with more money, you can eventually recruit more desperadoes, making your success more certain!
After Mr. Zhang returned to the cross-yard, he directed everyone to start assigning tasks. At the same time, the servants also gathered outside. As the clerks who received the order dispersed, they also lifted boxes and boxes of silver from the bank and transported them away! There were even more fast horses rushing to all directions to pass on the master's orders, so a big net slowly opened like this!
After all the people doing the work left, two strong men walked out of the room! Although these two people were wearing casual clothes, one could tell from their movements that they were soldiers! And the strange thing is that these two people looked quite arrogant. They didn't show any courtesy to Mr. Zhang and sat directly in front of him.
One of the older people said, "I heard your arrangement just now, and it seems quite decent! It seems like this kind of thing has been done a lot before, right?"
Mr. Zhang said calmly: "That's out of the question! But you also know that those who make a living by selling salt will inevitably encounter some fights and killings."
The strong man did not press the topic, but said, "How about it, are you sure? My master doesn't want to make any mistakes!"
Mr. Zhang thought for a while and said: "We are still 70% to 80% sure!".
The strong man hesitated for a moment and said, "This is my family. I have used a lot of people to help you deliver the news. You'd better not make any mistakes!"
Although the middle-aged scribe was threatened, his expression remained unchanged and he said calmly: "The matter has been arranged suddenly, and the rest can only depend on God's will! We are just doing our best!"
The strong man frowned and said, "Which route do you think is more likely to succeed, the water route or the land route?"
Mr. Zhang said without hesitation: "Shuilu! The people in Shuilu are all veteran gangsters, and they have all worked for us before, so they are more confident!"
The strong man thought for a moment and said, "In that case,
Please also ask Mr. Zhang to arrange for a few of our brothers to follow and have a look! If it happens, we need to reply to you as soon as possible! "
Mr. Zhang said: "This is convenient! After a few days, I guess the water bandits will be gathered together. I'll just send someone over to send a few of them over."
The strong man said: "That's the best! Okay, let's not delay Mr. Zhang anymore. Let's go back and rest first. If there is news, tell us right away!"
Mr. Zhang nodded and said, "Don't worry, everyone! And if you have any requests these days, you can tell me."
The strong man nodded and led the people straight out of the courtyard and into the small courtyard next door. Mr. Zhang remained calm for a while before muttering to himself: "It should be no problem!"
More than twenty days later, in a small bay on the Yangtze River, a large number of ships gathered together densely, filling the entire bay! There is also a small village above Jiangwan, which is called Jiangwan Village.
At this time, the village was overcrowded, and from time to time, men with ferocious faces, weapons in hand, and bare-chested and barefoot people swaggered through the village. But the residents in the village didn't take it seriously, which shows that they have already been in contact with each other. This must be a water bandit's nest!
In a courtyard in the center of the village, a middle-aged scribe was sitting at a table in the courtyard. What was placed in front of him was a pot of tea, but the other places on the table were filled with wine bowls! There were seven or eight other people sitting or standing around the table.
These people may be tall or short, fat or thin, but the common feature is that they all have bronzed skin! This kind of skin can only form after being exposed to wind and sun for a long time. Looking at the weapons on their bodies, you can guess that these people are water bandits on the Yangtze River!
The middle-aged strong man sitting opposite the middle-aged scribe has two daggers stuck in his waist. He is the leader of the water bandits who is quite famous in this area, and is nicknamed Tailless Fish!
Normally, most water bandits would give themselves a very prestigious nickname, but this one did the opposite and actually looked a little smug about the name Tailless Fish!
And his behavior is very different from other water bandits! He robbed, but he killed as few people as possible every time. In most cases, he only robbed money and did not hurt people's lives, let alone insult women! And he likes to make friends, especially people in the government.
