"Master Zhong, I haven't come out for so long, do you think the little Taoist priest can do it?"
At this time, at the foot of Shaozi Mountain, the Tang family's guys were sitting on the carriage, still looking anxiously.
As an old housekeeper, Tang Zhong has a high prestige.
He was also watching, feeling like he knew the outcome but was still looking forward to it.
He shook his head and sighed: "I'm hanging, I guess I'm hanging."
"Then are we still waiting?" the guy asked again.
Tang Zhong thought for a while and said firmly: "Wait, it will take half a day as promised. You can't break your promise."
"oh."
Everyone continued chatting, but Tang Zhong was still looking around, hoping that a figure would suddenly appear on the path going down the mountain.
Why did you listen to him in the first place?
He even boasted and risked his life in vain.
Are those bandits ordinary people?
That's a man-eating demon, a mountain-occupying monster!
Tang Zhong couldn't help complaining in his heart, he really thought that if he put on Taoist robes, he would be the Zhenwu Emperor, and he could slay demons.
The same goes for the master, why did you just believe what he said.
"oops."
He sighed again, sitting on the shaft of the car and hugging his shoulders.
After a while, the man who was watching at the bottom of the mountain hurried back.
This is Shaozi Mountain, and Tingfeng Village is on the mountain. How can we wait for people here without anyone keeping watch?
Seeing the sentry boy running wildly past, everyone stopped what they were doing and raised their heads to look at the boy.
Tang Zhong looked up and said hurriedly: "It's broken. The bandits are coming down the mountain. Turn the car around and leave quickly!"
After hearing this, the other boys were frightened to death. They pulled on the horse's leash and were about to leave when they suddenly heard the boy running behind shouting: "They're coming down, they're coming down!"
Everyone looked at Tang Zhong. Tang Zhong was stunned for a moment and said firmly: "It's a bandit, let's go quickly!"
"How do you know?" the driver asked curiously.
"Didn't you hear that he said they were the ones who came down? The little Taoist priest is just one person. Do you need to talk about them?"
The young man thought it was reasonable. He was indeed a loyal man, he was really smart.
A tug on the reins, a crack of the whip.
"drive!"
The carriage started and slowly accelerated.
Watching his carriage go away from him, the man slowly stopped and scratched his head while panting.
"What are they running for?"
A team of carriages, a team of dozens of people.
Tang Zhong held on to the shaft of the car, feeling extremely regretful.
But at this moment, a figure stepped on the branches from behind them and quickly chased them while performing extremely light skills and flew over their heads.
He flew all the way to the front carriage, dropped from the sky, and stretched out his hand to stop the speeding carriage.
"Xu~"
The man hurriedly grabbed the reins and looked at the person in front of him in disbelief.
Blue and white Taoist robes, handsome face.
He rubbed his eyes and confirmed again.
"Taoist Priest, how could it be you?"
"Why can't it be me?" Zhang Qingyuan also wondered, why are you running away?
His eyes found Tang Zhong at the back. Tang Zhong hurriedly jumped out of the carriage. He was dozens of years old and his legs were moving very fast.
He ran to Zhang Qingyuan and looked up and down: "Taoist Priest, are you alive?"
This old man is still so speechless, how did he become a butler.
When he left, he told me that I had a good journey, and when we met when we came back, he asked me if I was still alive.
What's wrong?
What he originally wanted to say was choked in his throat, so he asked: "No, who told you that I was dead?"
Tang Zhong was also at a loss, looked back, and finally had to smile and said: "It's good that I'm not dead, it's good that I'm not dead.
Where are the bandits? "
"It's all solved."
Tang Zhong was even more surprised, and others also showed admiration.
Especially Tang Zhong, he thought to himself, could it be that Emperor Zhenwu really showed up?
Just when he was still asking for details, the sentry guy from behind also ran over.
Breathing rapidly, he held on to the shaft of the car and asked, "Master Zhong, why are you running?"
Tang Zhong pointed at the guy and said angrily: "Can you speak?"
"What's wrong with me?" the guy asked blankly.
"The Taoist leader has obviously gone down the mountain, why did you still lie about the military situation and say that the bandits are coming?"
"I didn't say the bandits were coming?" The man was even more confused.
Tang Zhong asked: "Then you said they went down the mountain."
The man felt very aggrieved and pointed behind him: "It's them, and there are three others who went down the mountain with the Taoist priest."
Behind him, three men strolled down the road.
Between the two men in black clothes and swords, there was a very naughty young man.
The others looked at Tang Zhong, everyone just ran away based on your information.
Tang Zhong was extremely embarrassed and looked a little angry. He continued to yell at the guy, "Then if you don't explain clearly, just say that it will be fine if you grow up. How do I know that they have gone down the mountain?"
The guy stared with big innocent eyes, "I..."
"What are you!"
Tang Zhong glared at him.
Zhang Qingyuan looked at them like this and thought to himself that he didn't think I could come back.
Don't worry about it, after all, this is human nature.
"Okay, quickly turn the car around and go haul food."
"Come on, let's go up the mountain to pull food!"
The Tang family's man drove up the mountain, and Zhu Zizhao also walked up to him.
He had been a little contemptuous of Zhang Qingyuan before, but after this battle, he suddenly felt that this little Taoist priest was quite capable. In a life-and-death battle, he could also think quickly and come up with ways to defeat the enemy that others could not think of.
Zhu Zizhao admired him a little more, walked up to him and said with a smile: "Brother, I underestimated you before."
Just look down on me, why are you speaking so condescendingly, as if you are looking up to me...
"Okay, the bandits have been dealt with, what are you going to do next?"
Zhu Zizhao thought for a while and said, "I plan to go and have a look with you."
"With me?"
"No matter where the disaster relief is, it is disaster relief. My two trucks of food are just a drop in the bucket compared to the tens of thousands of victims.
Didn’t that bullshit Lord Long who was stabbed through the anus by your sword just now say that officials of all sizes in Kaifeng Prefecture are corrupt, especially the prefect, who is the number one embezzler? "
"so what?"
The biggest official corruption in the area, except someone from the capital, who can handle him.
Moreover, the disaster relief officials coming from the capital must be high-ranking officials and high-ranking officials.
Zhu Zizhao said: "I thought about it when I came down the mountain just now. The government's disaster relief food funds have not yet arrived, so Magistrate Liu can only put his mind to these private grain merchants."
"Yeah." Zhang Qingyuan nodded.
"He dares to amass money so unscrupulously when there is no one from the court. When the government's disaster relief food funds come, do you think he can resist corruption?"
Zhang Qingyuan nodded and responded: "I can't help it. Why, do you want..."
"Yes, I want to collect evidence, and then take the evidence back to the capital to complain. If we don't kill such rebellious officials and traitors, the people will not be outraged. We must let these corrupt officials ride on wooden donkeys to parade through the streets!"
Hey, you are more ruthless than me!
Riding a wooden donkey?
It’s exciting to think about.
"How about it, can you help me?"
"Why are you looking for me?"
"We can fight side by side and live and die together. As long as you help me, we will be brothers from now on. When Liu Xiangquan is captured, we will cut off the chicken head and burn it on yellow paper to formally sworn sworn brothers!"
Zhang Qingyuan looked at the young master and thought about the feasibility of the plan.
He is a relative of the emperor, and there are two such expert guards around him, so he must have a high status.
In this era, it is extremely difficult for ordinary people to sue an official.
Because there is no distinction between right and wrong in the court. There is politics, power, and party struggles.
Therefore, if you want to sue the prefect, you must have enough evidence, and more importantly, you need someone who can hand over the evidence to the emperor!
Thinking of this, Zhang Qingyuan looked at Zhu Zizhao again.
"In your family, is it the prince or the courtier?"
If his identity is not enough, his passion alone will not work.
So Zhang Qingyuan must make sure that he has enough energy to do this.
Zhu Zizhao has a passionate sense of justice, but he needs helpers now.
So when you see a friend who is so irritable, of course you have to pull him to your side.
Zhu Zizhao said: "Don't worry, our family is definitely the biggest in the world!"
Zhang Qingyuan took a deep breath and said, "When you are born in heaven and earth, you should make a living for the people, and fuck you!"
