The door of the Guo family was opened from the inside, and several servants of the Guo family came out carrying the food prepared by the Guo family, along with ten tied sheep.
When the people from the Fubiao camp outside the Guo family saw the Guo family delivering things, one of them said, "You are smart enough to prepare a big car and accompany us to the camp outside the village."
"Hey, good military master." Butler Guo agreed with a bow, then turned around and said to the servants of the Guo family, "Hurry up and take the things out. Xiao Liuzi, you go find a big cart and hitch the animals. , give the things to the military master and send them to the military camp outside the village."
A man in the crowd agreed, turned around and ran into Guo's house.
Outside the gate of the Guo family, several people from Fubiao Camp were very satisfied with the attitude of the Guo family. A soldier leading the team said: "Where is the money, are you ready?"
Compared with the food and chickens, ducks and sheep sent by the Guo family, money is the most important thing.
"No money."
Before the Guan Guan opened his mouth, a voice suddenly came from behind the Guo family's door.
The soldier outside the door thought the voice sounded familiar. He looked up and saw Zhang Wenhe walking out of Guo's house.
"Young man, I have met Mr. Zhang." When the soldier saw Zhang Wenhe, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted.
Other people from Fubiao camp also saluted Zhang Wenhe.
"Well!" Zhang Wenhe snorted, and then said, "Bring these things prepared by the Guo family to General Xu. As for the silver you mentioned, there is not even one tael. If General Xu is dissatisfied, you can let him Come to me."
"Yes, I understand. I will take the things back with me." The soldier agreed.
Facing Zhang Wenhe, who was standing up for the Guo family, as a private soldier, he knew that he would not get any money if he continued to entangle himself, and would also offend the governor's staff, so he decided to take the things sent by the Guo family and return to the village first. camp, and the rest is left to the general's discretion.
The food, chickens, ducks and sheep prepared by the Guo family were loaded on a large cart. The servants of the Guo family drove the cart and followed the soldiers from the Fubiao camp to the outside of the village.
As soon as the people from Fubiao Camp left, Zhang Wenhe, accompanied by Butler Guo, returned to the previous room.
Guo Juren said with gratitude: "Brother Mu, I would like to thank you for coming forward this time. Without you, the people in Fubiao Camp would not have given up so easily."
He already knew the whole story from his housekeeper, and also knew that the people from Fubiao Camp had left Zhuangzi. If Zhang Wenhe hadn't come forward, he would have lost at least 500 taels of silver this time, instead of saving as much as he did now. Four hundred taels.
"Brother Guo, you're welcome. This is my duty. After all, I am also the supervisor of Fubiao camp. I can't watch them oppress the people." Zhang Wenhe said with a smile.
He didn't get any money from the salary at Fubiao Camp, but he got a hundred taels for free from Guojiazhuang, which made him feel very good.
At this time, the servant came to the room and said respectfully: "Sir, the food and wine are ready. You can take a seat."
"Okay, let's go down!" Guo Juren waved his hand to the servant, then looked at Zhang Wenhe and said, "Brother Mu, let's sit down and have a few drinks."
"Haha, okay, I haven't had a chance to have a drink with Brother Guo since I said goodbye to Beijing. I must have a good time this time." Zhang Wenhe smiled and nodded in agreement.
The two of them came out of the room together and went to the dining room.
At the dinner table, the two of them exchanged glasses. As the wine was getting thicker, Zhang Wenhe said, "I have something I need Brother Guo to help me with. I wonder if Brother Guo can help me for once."
"I will definitely help with brother Mu's affairs. If you have any questions, just ask." Guo Juren agreed with the strength of his wine.
To be able to make Zhang Wenhe, the governor's staff member, owe a favor, this deal was a good deal, so he would naturally not refuse it.
"Actually, it's not a big deal." Zhang Wenhe said, "This time I went to Daliang Mountain with the troops of Fubiao Battalion to suppress the bandits, but I came out of Datong in a hurry and didn't bring anyone with me. I wonder if Brother Guo can arrange some bravery. Come with me to Daliang Mountain."
"This..." Guo Juren hesitated.
The so-called brave people will not be the peasants in the village, but at least they must be the kind of people who dare to fight and can fight.
There are indeed such people in Zhuangzi, but these people cannot be seen in the light. They are all people with murder cases or wanted by the government. It is difficult for them to show up, let alone help a governor's staff.
Zhang Wenhe saw that Guo Juren was trying to shirk, his drunken face sank, and he said with dissatisfaction: "Since Brother Guo doesn't want to, just pretend that I didn't say this."
Guo Juren was shocked when he heard this.
Only then did he realize that if he didn't agree to the other party's request, he would really offend him.
He was not afraid of offending ordinary people, but the Zhang Wenhe in front of him was different. He was an aide to the governor, and wanting to deal with his Guo family was just a matter of crooked talk.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly said: "Brother Mu, please don't misunderstand me. It's not that I don't want to. In fact, Zhuangzi are all rough farmers. They can farm just fine. If I really want to go to Daliang Mountain, I'm worried." It will delay Brother Mu’s important events.”
Zhang Wenhe looked Guo Juren up and down, and said with the smell of alcohol in his mouth: "As usual, if Brother Guo doesn't want to, forget it. I won't embarrass Brother Guo, just pretend I didn't say anything."
After saying that, he grabbed the wine glass on the table and drank it in one gulp.
Guo Juren, who was sitting beside him, became restless. He knew that Zhang Wenhe was dissatisfied.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "If Brother Mu really needs manpower, I do have a few here, but they are all unruly people."
Zhang Wenhe sat up straight and said, "So Brother Guo is willing to lend me some help?"
"Of course I am willing." Guo Juren nodded vigorously.
Zhang Wenhe said: "Then please trouble Brother Guo to hand over the person to me before I leave tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll ask the housekeeper to bring the person to the village tonight." Guo Juren said.
"Drink." Zhang Wenhe raised his glass.
Guo Juren picked up the wine glass in his hand, clinked it with Zhang Wenhe, and the two drank it down in one gulp.
Zhang Wenhe no longer mentioned that he was looking for someone from Guo Juren, and began to talk about some past events in the capital, or elegant things like reciting poems and composing poems.
As for why he asked Guo Juren to ask for some brave men to take with him, it was because he was worried about what might happen when he went to Daliang Mountain, so he asked some people to stay with him as a precaution.
Naturally, it was not the bandits in Daliang Mountain that he was on guard against. He believed that the soldiers and horses of Fubiao Camp would be able to successfully suppress the bandits. Therefore, the bandits in Daliang Mountain were not a threat. To him, the generals in Fubiao Camp were a threat.
For the sake of the Guo family, he cut off Fubiaoying's financial resources. Five hundred taels of silver was not a small amount. He was worried that Fubiaoying would take the opportunity of suppressing bandits to let him die in Daliang Mountain and finally install a An excuse to be killed by bandits.
Destroying someone's wealth is like killing one's parents, he must be on guard against this.
While he and Guo Juren were having a drink, several military generals at Fubiao Camp also knew what happened in Guojiazhuang, and several military generals approached the commander of the camp, General Xu.
