In the past few days, except for a trip to Sanwei Bookstore, Zhang San asked shopkeeper Sun to step up his activities, carry out the price war to the end, and steal all the business from the Zheng family and the Cui family. Most of the rest of the time was spent
Stay in the village.
"Sir, the people who went to Lantian County to explore Yezhu Ridge are back." Zhang Fugui took two people to the county man's house and said to Zhang San.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, did you find out anything?" Zhang San asked.
"Sir, my subordinates are incompetent and have not found any useful information. I asked the local villagers and they have not heard of any bandits and thieves nearby." Zhang Xun, a member of the escort team, replied.
Zhang Xun had previously served as a scout in the army, so Zhang Fugui sent him out this time.
"Sire, after I arrived in Lantian County, I went to the county government to report the case. The people there said they would notify me after the investigation was completed. When I asked again later, I could not see the county magistrate." Another person named
Zhang Quan's man said.
"Well, I understand. Please don't publicize this matter. We still need to take revenge ourselves!"
After hearing these two pieces of news, Zhang San became even more convinced that the attack was caused by people from the Zheng family. Of course, no matter who it was, this account must be settled.
"Fugui, what happens next is up to you." Zhang San said to Zhang Fugui.
"Don't worry, Sir, as long as that group of people dare to show up this time, I guarantee that they will never come back."
"I got a tip that there are twenty-three people in this group, disguised as merchants, scattered and hiding in a place called Green Willow Town in front of Wild Boar Ridge. Do you know what to do next?"
Last time I went to Sanwei Bookstore, shopkeeper Sun said that someone left a letter for him. When Zhang San opened it and read it, he saw the situation and hiding place of the group of thieves written on it.
I think Li Shimin must have been keeping an eye on his and the Zheng family's whereabouts in the dark.
"Sire, I will go back and make arrangements now." Zhang Fugui said and took the two of them back to prepare for action.
Zhang San called Zhang Fu and asked him to call Zhang Jin and Muramasa if he had anything to do with them.
Not long after, Zhang Jin and Muramasa arrived at Zhang San's house.
"Zhang Jin, how is your batch of furniture going?" Zhang San asked.
"Sir, we have only made more than half of the orders so far, and there are still some scattered orders that are being worked on. It is expected to be completed in two days." Zhang Jin worked overtime this time, hoping to finish the work as soon as possible so that he can communicate with those customers.
There is an explanation.
"Muramasa, how many orders have been made by Auntie's sugar factory?"
"Sir, all orders for the sugar factory have been completed," Muramasa replied.
"Okay, Zhang Jin, you continue to finish the remaining furniture. Tomorrow I will have some large furniture taken away. You have to make another batch of the furniture taken away, because those furniture may also look like this.
It was destroyed like last time." Zhang San said.
"Okay Sir, we are going to..." Zhang Jin made a gesture of wiping his neck.
"Yes, the furniture is more eye-catching. I'm afraid that the others won't believe it if it's fake, so I still have to work hard for your carpentry workshop."
"Okay Sir, we are not afraid of hard work. You must chop up all those thieves." Zhang Jin said excitedly.
"This time, as long as they show up, don't even think about running away." Zhang San replied.
"Muramasa, for the sugar factory's order, you tell my aunt to put the fake ones in wooden boxes, but remember to put a layer of real goods on top." Zhang San told Muramasa.
"Okay, sir, I will take care of this myself." Muramasa was not as excited as Zhang Jin, and there was still a trace of worry on his face.
"Muramasa, you don't have to worry, I will take care of this matter. Our Zhangjiacun will also send a signal to the outside world this time, that is, anyone who dares to bully us will be punished no matter how far away they are." Zhang San saw Muramasa's inner worries.
, said sharply.
"Even if they are far away, they will be killed!" Zhang Jin and Muramasa were also touched by Zhang San's words and said in unison.
"Okay, you go back and prepare first. We will set off early tomorrow morning."
"Sir, are you going too?" Muramasa asked quickly after hearing Zhang San say "we".
"Yes, I will go with you this time." Zhang San replied.
"Absolutely not, Sir, if you do anything bad, our Zhangjia Village will be completely destroyed. Besides, it's not appropriate for you to go." Muramasa quickly stopped him.
"I am also a member of our Zhangjiacun. Besides, this incident happened because of me. How could I stay out of it?"
Although Zhang San was calm on the surface, he felt very guilty about the caravan being robbed in his heart. If it weren't for himself, the people in the convoy would not have been injured.
"Sir, please listen to me. If that group of people is really coming for you as you said, wouldn't you be playing into their hands if you go there? Besides, when chaos occurs, the escort team will have to distract themselves from protecting your safety.
, this will greatly reduce the combat effectiveness of the escort team." Muramasa analyzed.
"Sir, I think what Muramasa said is right. You will sit at home and take command. Only with you are we able to have a backbone. Fugui and the others will handle these things well." Zhang Jin also consoled us.
Zhang Sanyi thought the same thing. He didn't know martial arts or anything, so he couldn't help much if he went there. Instead, he would become a burden to the team. When chaos occurs, the escort team would be distracted from their own safety, and their mobility would be poor.
A lot.
"Okay, I understand. You go back and do your work first, and I will go to Fugui to tell you some things." Zhang San weighed some things and finally chose not to go.
"Sir, let's go first."
After seeing off Muramasa and Zhang Jin, Zhang San asked Zhang Fu to drive to Zhang Fugui and explain the details of the operation to Fugui again.
In fact, Zhang San and Zhang Fugui had already deduced it several times in the past two days, but thinking that a bloody conflict might occur this time, Zhang San still felt uneasy.
"Fugui, each of you should bring some of these liquor, bandages and wound medicine for later use. Remember what I said, safety first. Even if you can't catch those people this time, it will be fine." Zhang San took the first aid prepared in advance.
Let Zhang Fugui take the medicine with him just in case.
"Don't worry, Sir, we are fully armed this time and nothing will happen to us." Zhang Fugui replied.
"In short, be careful. Remember not to fight the enemy in close combat. Use our advantages. If you can deal with the crossbow from a long distance, use the crossbow. As long as those people take action, it will be okay to kill them. As long as I am here, you will not
Something's wrong." Zhang San warned.
"Okay Sir, don't worry, I will ask the escort to be careful. When the time comes, as you said, I will lead a group of people to ambush, leaving a few people to accompany the caravan to escort the goods." Zhang Fugui replied.
.
"Okay, be careful. I'm waiting for your good news. When I come back, I'll take care of you, and I'll keep all the good wine I have for you." Zhang San saw that everything that needed to be said had been said, so he left and went home.
.
Don't be overly concerned about the escort Zhang San. The members of the escort have all been on the battlefield, and with the weapons and equipment they provided, nothing will happen to them. This is also the time to test the results of previous training.
