After Lian Xin welcomed Chen Fu and the others into the living room, she asked them to drink tea and sit there for a while. She immediately went to invite Ye Zheng to come.
After Ye Zheng came out of the wing, he saw Chen Fu sitting on the chair on the lower left side of the living room, and there was another person sitting next to him. The man was about forty years old, thin and wearing a set of shabby scholar clothes.
robe, the facial features on the face give people the impression that they are smaller than ordinary people, especially the pair of small triangular eyes, coupled with the withered yellow goat's beard on the chin, the whole person from top to bottom, from the inside to the
Outside, there was a hint of cunning philistineness, especially when Ye Zheng noticed that when he looked at Lian Xin, his eyes were quite dirty. He immediately felt that this man was so wretched, and he couldn't help but feel a little disgust and contempt for him in his heart, but these
He can't show it on his face.
However, all this in Ye Zheng's eyes was secretly seen by the wretched man. A trace of disappointment and sigh flashed across his eyes, and in an instant he returned to his wretched philistine appearance.
"Fortress Master!"
When Chen Fu saw Ye Zheng coming out, he immediately stood up with the man and saluted him.
Ye Zheng gave a gentle hum and asked the two of them to sit down. After being the leader of the village for a few days recently, Ye Zheng also began to explore some of the pretentious skills of a superior, so now his speech and behavior
, and the look in his eyes is quite majestic.
Ye Zheng sat on the main seat, holding a cup of tea, took a sip, glanced at the wretched man sitting next to Chen Fu, and said with a smile: "This gentleman has a great surname, and Ye Zheng is very familiar with it."
Very.”
After hearing this, Chen Fu hurriedly introduced him: "This gentleman is called Wang Bing. He was a scholar before joining Feifeng Village. Because he is proficient in calligraphy and calligraphy, I arranged for him to be a clerk under my banner."
Zhangbo was the collective name given to all the record keeping clerks in the Great Lie Dynasty at that time. Generally, those who could do this job were educated people who had read books and were proficient in arithmetic. In the feudal society under the rule of the Great Lie Dynasty, people were generally literate in reading.
There were not many people in the government, and the talents who had the ability to be Mr. Zhang Bo were even rarer. Therefore, people at that time actually had great respect for those senior intellectuals who were in charge of the business.
Therefore, when Ye Zheng learned that the unattractive and even rather wretched thin monkey man in front of him was actually Mr. Zhang Bo, the contempt in his heart suddenly lightened a bit. At that moment, he raised his hands with respect and said: "It turns out that Wang Biao
Mr. Ye is a scholar, but Ye is disrespectful."
When Wang Bao saw this, he stood up in a hurry and said with a flattered look: "The village master is serious, the village master is serious. Wang is a commoner. He only knows a little about pen and ink and just makes a living. As for the title of scholar, Wang
I definitely don’t dare to take it seriously.”
Ye Zheng chuckled, and after a few polite greetings with them, he went directly to the topic and asked: "I wonder if Hall Master Chen and Mr. Wang are here this time. Is there anything you need my help with?"
After hearing this, Chen Fu chuckled twice, waved his hand and said: "Actually, I have nothing to do with the village leader. I brought Mr. Wang here specially. Hehe, that's it. Since he has been brought here, then my subordinates
I'll take my leave now, I still have a lot of things waiting for me to do over there!"
After saying that, Chen Fu bowed his hands and bowed out. Suddenly, only Ye Zheng and Wang Bing were left in the living room.
Just now, Ye Zheng heard that Wang Po asked Chen Fu to bring him to see him. Suddenly, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes and he asked: "Mr. Wang Po came with Hall Master Chen this time. Why do you want to see me?"
Hearing his question, Wang Po coughed lightly and said hesitantly: "What Wang came here to say this time may be a bit unfounded. If it offends the village owner, please forgive me."
.”
Ye Zheng was most annoyed when others tried to tell him off. He frowned and said, "If you have anything to say, it doesn't matter. I don't like people talking in a roundabout way."
After hearing this, Wang Po's face straightened and he said, "The village leader defeated the officers and soldiers of Dahe County this time. What are your plans in the future?"
Ye Zheng was stunned for a moment when he asked. To be honest, since he repelled those officers and soldiers the day before yesterday, he really hasn't thought about the specific things in the future, at least not for the time being. He just wants to be good now.
I'd like to stay in the cottage to rest for a while, pretend to be cool, and get over the addiction of this mountain king.
He pondered for a moment and said: "I really don't have any plans for the time being. I'll let the brothers in the village recuperate for a while. During this period, there will be many casualties in the village due to the killings.
Young brother, I just want them to live a peaceful life, let’s talk about the rest later!”
"Master of the village, ever since you led your troops to repel the officers and soldiers the day before yesterday, our village has been destined to have no peace." Wang Po shook his head and said with a wry smile.
Ye Zheng raised his eyebrows. He didn't quite understand what Wang Po meant by saying this. He immediately asked: "Sir, where did you say that?"
Wang Po looked at him, took a deep breath, and said solemnly: "Master of the village, please allow Wang to boldly ask, what if you were the county leader of Dahe County? This time we sent troops to suppress the bandits, not only did they not succeed, but we were
These bandits abandoned their armor and returned home naked. If these things were spread to the eyes of the people, where would the government's face be? Where would the prestige of the court be? What would you do at that time?"
After hearing this, Ye Zheng replied without thinking: "If I were the county head of Dahe County, if I encountered this matter, I would definitely report it to the state city with an urgent letter and ask Shangguan to send heavy troops to suppress the bandits in order to shock the court.
The power of God..." At this point, his voice suddenly stopped, and he suddenly woke up, and suddenly, cold sweat broke out on his back.
How careless! I am simply too careless!
After defeating the officers and soldiers of the government, he didn't even think about the terrible consequences that would result. At that time, he just went there happily. Now that he had caused huge trouble, he couldn't help but be confused for a while, not knowing what to do.
What to do.
You know, the regular army in the state city is no easier to deal with than the garrison in the county town.
Regular armies like those in state cities are usually brave men carefully selected from the garrison in each county. The people selected are all proficient in martial arts. Ye Zheng once heard Niu Tiezhu say,
The regular armies in those prefectures and cities are all at least first-class warriors, and they have undergone strict military training. The overall quality of the soldiers is quite strong. In addition, their equipment is excellent, their food and salary are generous, and they are
A group of people who have been on the battlefield and have seen bloody and fierce men, so if the imperial court is determined to send out the regular army from the city to annihilate them, then Feifeng Village will have no choice but to abandon the village and flee.
Although Ye Zheng has confidence in the guns and weapons in his hands, it also depends on who the opponent is? Like those regular legions like wolves and tigers in Zhoucheng, if they come to him, he may be able to rely on the strength in his hands.
The superiority of guns and ammunition drove them back. If the government sent a regiment of thousands of soldiers to suppress the bandits, then Ye Zheng would have no choice but to run away.
After all, Feifengzhai can only send a few hundred troops to the battlefield. Facing the loosely disciplined garrison in Dahe County, they can still successfully attack and intercept, but if they really encounter those in Zhoucheng,
If they help the well-disciplined and well-trained regular army, the disadvantages of their copycat gangs will be completely exposed. Even in the early stage, they can rely on their own arms and guns to catch them by surprise, but currently there are only a few left in their warehouse.
With so much arms and equipment, once they are all used up, the bandits will have no choice but to wait for the officers and soldiers to come and kill them.
Thinking of the power of this, Ye Zheng couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. He stood up and bowed to Wang Xi, and said solemnly: "This time Mr. Jing reminded me, and Ye suddenly realized that it was just in Ye's heart at the moment.
It’s so messy, I really don’t know what to do in the future, so I would like to ask sir for some advice!”
After saying that, Ye Zheng bowed respectfully to the king again.
