Chapter Forty-Nine: Magician
Zhang Changwei said helplessly:
"I only have a few pennies left."
"The officers and soldiers will try to grab the wooden cart later."
"Brother Zhang Luo, please don't conflict with the officers and soldiers."
"The wooden cart can be built again once it's gone."
"If you have a conflict with the officers and soldiers, you will be accused of being a spy."
"Then it will be difficult to wash it off."
Zhang Luo nodded.
I thought to myself that it was no wonder that the Japanese invasion in the southeast had not been calmed down for a long time.
Let’s not talk about the pirate merchants who mingled with the Japanese pirates for the moment.
The officers and soldiers in these cities alone may have benefited a lot from the Japanese pirates.
The grain team at the front was initially dissatisfied with the Quanzhou Guards' usurpation.
But under the threat of cold weapons.
The leader of the gang still gave in.
Wait until the grain truck passes the blockade of officers and soldiers.
The officers and soldiers supervising from behind waved their weapons.
You need to drink and move forward with the people in front of you.
Zhang and Luo were also driven to the blockade of officers and soldiers.
This is of course not the first robbery committed by Quanzhou Guard.
These officers and soldiers will specially besieged on high slopes and on the other side of the river.
Wait until the people on the road see the officers and soldiers.
There is no way out.
The officers and soldiers set up the blockade in a very orderly manner.
There were officers and soldiers surrounding him in front and behind.
Some stubborn people who refuse to pay.
He will be taken to the edge by two officers and soldiers and beaten up.
Then force people to hand over their money.
Zhang Luo was speechless by the sight in front of him.
Wouldn't it be nice for these guards to have the skills to fight Japanese pirates?
You must pretend to be like a thief and rob your own family.
A young man in brocade clothes was standing beside the blockade.
He was sitting on a stone chair.
Being served by two soldiers.
Zhang Luo saw an old businessman in front of him.
Because I can't afford two hundred coins.
The goods were dragged away directly by the officers and soldiers.
He was also taken to the edge and beaten and kicked by officers and soldiers.
Zhang Wangsheng, who had been doing nothing all this time, was also frightened.
Hold Zhang Luo's hand tightly.
Zhang Luo was nervous.
Zhang Luo looked around.
I started flipping through officialdom knowledge quickly in the "officialdom" skill.
He deduced that the young officer next to him was the leader of these soldiers.
Uncle Changwen spent a lot of money to make this wooden cart.
There are only a few vehicles in the whole guardhouse.
It cannot be easily snatched away by officers and soldiers.
It was the turn of Zhang and Luo.
Several officers and soldiers came up.
Zhang Luo immediately said respectfully:
"We are on a business trip to the county."
"I don't have much money on me."
"I am willing to exchange things for money."
I heard Zhang Luo was so proactive.
Several officers and soldiers looked at each other and smiled.
Get ready to push this unseen wooden cart away.
Zhang Luo hurriedly grabbed the wooden cart and said:
"My lords, please be patient."
"This is not a wooden cart."
"Then if there is anything valuable left, take it out quickly."
"I want to meet your leader face to face."
Some officers and soldiers were a little irritable.
But I saw Zhang Luo dressed as a scholar.
He didn't get angry immediately.
Looking at Zhang Luo he said:
"That's our leader over there."
"One of you will deliver the goods."
Zhang Luo wiped some sweat.
He walked to the young officer in a few steps.
Although this young man is wearing military brocade.
But my hair is loose.
The clothes were not buttoned up either.
He looks exactly like a young bandit master.
Zhang Luo quickly looked at the young officer in front of him.
I deduced it.
This person should be the son of the commander.
But he can be called in to take charge of the robbery.
It should not be taken seriously by the commander.
The father's position cannot be hereditary.
The young officer looked at Zhang Luo dressed as a scholar.
He smiled and said:
"You want to exchange goods for money, what kind of treasure do you want to use?"
Zhang Luo saluted and said:
"The common people are willing to use the divine hexagram to help the adults have a smooth road to officialdom."
"Master Commander, do you think it's okay?"
The young master sat upright.
He looked at Zhang Luo with wide eyes.
He obviously just has the weak temperament of a scholar.
But he is much taller than his brothers.
This young master's name is Xu Shouye.
It’s the same as Zhang Luo judged.
He is the youngest son of Quanzhou Guard Commander Xu Shengyuan.
The commander of the Quanzhou Guard is of the third grade.
Although now the court is rich and powerful, the military is light.
But the commander of a government.
There are nearly ten thousand soldiers below.
and 30,000 military dependents.
He is also considered a high-ranking figure in Fujian Province.
Xu Shouye is the youngest son.
He was born unqualified to inherit the command.
But Jinjiang County is also considered a famous second generation ancestor.
There is basically no child in the entire county who can compete with him.
Xu Shouye lived happily in the city for eighteen years relying on his status.
He will soon be twenty years old.
My happy days are coming to an end.
Most conductors have rules at home.
Only the eldest son can inherit all the family property.
Including hereditary official positions.
As well as the money, land, etc. accumulated by the previous generation.
Except for the heirs.
The other sons in the family.
You can't even get one.
When you get married at the age of twenty, you will be moved out of your family home.
Even if he is the legitimate son who is favored by his father.
Just take some money and leave.
Of course for ordinary people.
The compensation that these second-generation ancestors can get.
It's enough for an average person to spend a lifetime.
With a few hundred taels of silver, I bought some fields and shops.
Can live comfortably.
But this Xu Shouye just refused to accept it.
I am just a few years younger than my two brothers.
They all come out of the same mother's womb.
Why does everything belong to the elder brother?
Just take some charity money and leave?
If I move out of Xu Mansion.
Just rely on your own hands.
But he can't take care of his own maid.
So this time Xu Shouye brought hundreds of officers and soldiers out without authorization.
Set up some reward collection outside the county seat.
The money I got this time is all my own.
This military uniform of mine was also stolen from his father's house.
Of course, for his youngest son to lead his own soldiers to rob.
Xu Shengyuan knew it in his heart.
There are not a few officers who privately lead troops to carry out robberies.
As long as you have your share.
Xu Shengyuan was too lazy to take care of it.
Xu Shouye didn't have to steal the money like other officers.
You must hand over 30% to the commander.
This is something Xu Shengyuan tacitly approved of.
It's a little compensation for my younger son.
Let him save some money before becoming independent.
I heard that Zhang Luo wanted to give him a hexagram.
Xu Shouye became interested.
A few years ago.
Xu Shouye was obsessed with the art of witchcraft.
I also learned a few tricks myself.
I got some doll pricks and needles.
It's a pity that Xu Shouye doesn't have enough moral character.
The two brothers only got some fever.
Everything recovered within a few days.
Xu Shouye has visited some Taoist priests and magicians over the years.
I want to learn some deadly spells.
As a result, my brothers are getting better and better.
I was drunk too much.
My body is getting weaker and weaker.
As the eldest brother gradually gained a position in the army.
Xu Shouye also gradually stopped thinking about seizing the throne.
Instead of thinking about unrealistic things.
It's better to get more money.
Live a good life after leaving the house.
Seeing Zhang Luo's confident look.
Xu Shouye was still a little tempted.
Watch here to collect money.
It was boring for Xu Shouye to sit for a long time.
Let the scholar do the math.
