"grown ups."

A very clever soldier brought two small benches, placed them next to Wu Nian and Zhang Jin, bent down and saluted.

Wu Nian and Zhang Jin were used to it, so they sat down politely.

With nothing to do, the two of them continued to watch the flow of people coming in and out of the city gate.

"Brother, the Meng Yuan people are very tough. They have been fishing and hunting for generations, living in harsh mountains and rivers. They have a tough character and are not afraid of death."

"But it was rumored that they were not that powerful at first."

After watching for a while, Wu Nian put his hands on his knees, turned his head and said to Zhang Jin.

"Yes." Zhang Jin said with an angry look on his face when he talked about this matter: "The Meng Yuan people were originally a scattered tribe. They only had a few thousand people when they started their army, and then they grew rapidly."

"On the one hand, there are some generals in Liaodong who respect themselves as bandits and tolerate the Mongolians. On the other hand, some big forces in the Central Plains secretly transport iron, grain, and cloth to the north in exchange for the Mongolians' pearls and gold. To put it bluntly,

Yes, the Meng Yuan people are so powerful now because they were created by traitors like Chu."

Having said this, Zhang Jin looked up at the city gate and said with a sneer: "Maybe among these caravans coming in and out, there are supplies sold to the Mongolian people."

Wu Nian nodded, with a deep expression on his face.

A thinker once said.

With a profit of 50%, businessmen can take desperate risks.

With double the profits, businessmen can trample all laws.

With three times the profit, businessmen dare to risk the gallows.

Since ancient times, empires have mostly collapsed internally.

Liaodong is not only a problem for Liaodong. The Mongolian and Yuan people are not only a problem for the Mongolian and Yuan people.

The topic was indeed a bit heavy, so Wu Nian did not continue. They waited quietly for about half an hour.

Li Yong and Zhang Sheng returned.

Wu Nian patted his butt and stood up, looking at Li Yong and frowning slightly.

Li Yong's expression was a bit ugly.

Wu Nian immediately knew that the other party was probably not easy to deal with, very difficult to deal with.

"Say it." Wu Nian said in a deep voice with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"Master Xiaoqi." Li Yong sighed, bent down to Wu Nian, and then said: "The businessman named Zhang is just a domestic slave pushed to the front row, not worth mentioning. This is a horse selling business.

The person’s surname is Zhang, and his name is Zhang Youwei.”

Wu Nian's face instantly darkened, but his waist straightened, rising from the ground like a javelin.

"Is it half Zhang?" Zhang Jin frowned and said in a deep voice.

The rest of the entourage, those who knew about it, were in a commotion, and those who didn't knew were very confused.

Half Zhang is a nickname.

This means that half of the people in Jiang County have the surname Zhang.

Of course, these words are very watery and are just bragging. But many people agree, which proves the importance of this half Zhang in Jiang County.

There are so many people with the surname Zhang in the fields outside the city of Jiang County and the shops and businesses in the city that I can’t even count them.

Of course, such a powerful family is not just a local snake.

Reading.

In the State of Chu, the imperial examination was used to select talents to serve as officials. The emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats ruled the world and controlled the military with literature. Soldiers had no future, and studying was the best way.

It's like the Jinman City of 100 households in Beishan Fort. Although his family is a military household, he is a local emperor in this small place of Beishan Fort.

But Jin Mancheng sharpened his head and sent his son to study. He became a scholar, left the military household and became a civilian household.

This was in the hope of raising his son into a golden phoenix and making the Jin family shine. As a result, his son was killed by a tiger and Jin Man City went crazy.

Currently, there are still hundreds of official positions in Jinman City, and I don’t know when they will be taken down by the court.

Half of Zhang had money, so how could he not take the imperial examination? I heard that some members of the Zhang family were serving as officials in the imperial court, and two were serving as local officials.

He is really a family of officials and a scholarly family.

There are people in the officialdom who are rich themselves, coupled with local power and domestic slaves. This forms half Zhang who dominates Jiang County.

When Jinman City encounters such a family, they can only recognize them by pinching their noses.

Even if the money is stolen, you may have to kneel down and call daddy and beg for mercy.

Wu Nian is a small flag, but he is also a person as big as a sesame seed or a mung bean.

How to fight with half Zhang?

No wonder Li Yong looked so ugly and found it difficult to speak.

"Hahahahaha." In front of everyone, Wu Nian suddenly laughed, hahahaha. His voice was like the sound of a drum, heavy and powerful.

It attracted strange looks from the people going in and out of the city gate.

It also caused surprise among his subordinates.

"Master Xiaoqi, are you crazy?"

Only Zhang Jin could tell that this brother's laughter was heroic, not flinching, and certainly not crazy.

"Brother, what do you want to do?" Zhang Jin asked in a deep voice.

He is not really a reckless person.

Just like when he faced the bandits, he was weak and planned to swallow his anger. If he was allowed to make the decision, he would still have to think about this matter.

The chance of winning is 50%, so let’s do it.

The chance of winning is 30%, but it seems that I can take a risk.

The chance of winning is 10%, so you can still give it a try.

There is no chance of winning, so you can only hold your nose and admit it.

With a small flag and a half-flag, this special code has no chance of winning.

But Zhang Jin had seen with his own eyes Wu Nian's courage, courage, and indomitable momentum when climbing the cliff, and he felt ashamed of himself.

He considers himself a hero and originally wanted to wait for the troubled times to rise up. But now he has succumbed to Wu Nian and served as Wu Nian's soldier.

That means he has identified Wu Nian.

He was full of confidence in Wu Nian.

Just as Zhang Jin thought, Wu Nian was certainly not crazy, nor did he have any fear. Instead, he was full of energy.

But the opponent was too strong, and he had no plan at the moment and could not answer Zhang Jin's question. After thinking for a while, Wu Nian raised his head and asked Li Yong: "Where are our people now? Are they dead, or are they detained?"

We’ll talk about other things later, first get the people out.

Wu Nian cares about the money, but he cares more about people.

Moreover, by fishing out the people first, the number of troops on your side will increase, and you can move more calmly.

Li Yong has been following Wu Nian for such a long time, and he also knows a little bit about Wu Nian's temper. After hearing Wu Nian's words, he knew that this Lord Xiaoqi was determined not to bow his head.

He sighed and said: "The materials purchased by Li Sheng and others, as well as the money they carried with them, have disappeared. They were probably taken away by the Zhang family."

"The Zhang family didn't kill them, that would be too shocking. They are from a scholarly family, and they can't do anything like killing people openly."

"But the Zhang family colluded with the Jiang County magistrate. The county magistrate ordered the police to take Li Sheng and others into prison. There are no convictions yet. But there is no excuse for trying to incriminate. It is difficult to get a death sentence.

But it is easy to be exiled three thousand miles to the army."

Everyone present swallowed their saliva and became commotion again.

Half of the special code, plus a local county magistrate.

This is too crazy.
