Lao Xu and Wen Jun returned empty-handed. When they saw that Zhang Ning had led the horse out and was escorting a man tied behind his back on the road, Lao Xu shouted: "The cavalry has been sent out in Zhuangzi!"
Zhang Ning didn't say anything after hearing this. He quickly led the horse to the slope of the roadside and pointed his sword at the middle-aged scribe: "Get on the horse. If you dare to cause trouble, believe it or not, I will chop you with a knife?" He said and raised his head half a man high.
The bright long sword looked like it was about to cut down at any time. The middle-aged man had no choice but to get on the horse slowly, but Zhang Ning kept holding the reins in his hand.
At this time, Lao Xu and others rushed to the front, and Zhang Ning quickly ordered: "Lao Xu rides this horse, control this prisoner and don't let him mess around, let's get on the horse and set off!"
Because the horses and others were prepared in advance, Zhang Ning and others had not yet seen the cavalry behind them when they set out on the road. The sound of horse hooves could be heard too clearly and there were probably only a few horses. However, Lao Xu did not seem to be Zhang Fei's kind of leader who could take on thousands of troops by one person.
Shang Peng Tianheng is not a vegetarian. Fighting forcefully is not the solution. Running away first is the best way.
"I'm not doing my job well..." Lao Xu said on the horse with some guilt.
Zhang Ning said: "Don't talk about it now. Let's talk about it when we get back. The most important thing for you now is to keep an eye on this prisoner. If you don't catch the thief, he will be of great use."
Passing by Yizhen County, Zhang Ning ordered not to enter the city and go directly to the main road of Yangzhou. Because Xie Jun's people were arranged at the inn in Yizhen County, Zhang Ning arranged it himself, in case something happened and he was spied on.
See, it's another problem.
After passing Yizhen County, there was no sign of the pursuers. Lao Xu explained: "The man's methods were not very clever. I had the upper hand for several rounds, but he was strong and there was nothing I could do to stop him. In the end, he
Falling into the muddy water turned into a scuffle, and the physical advantage became obvious... After all, old age is not forgiving, and the physical strength cannot keep up. But if we fight with long weapons in a spacious place, I should be able to defeat him."
"Are you Zhang Pingan?" the middle-aged man suddenly asked.
Zhang Ning turned to look at him in surprise, and he added: "I heard Fairy Peach Blossom mentioned you...and Miss Fang."
"Shut up! If you want to deceive me with your sharp tongue, I'm afraid you have found the wrong person." Zhang Ning cursed.
Xu Wenjun couldn't help but said: "This is what our Mr. Zhang relies on. Grandpa didn't defeat the bearded man. If the boss wins, will it open our eyes?"
"I have my own way to deal with this person, and we'll get him back safely before we get there," Zhang Ning said.
When approaching Yangzhou, Zhang Ning asked Lao Xu to go to a town with money to buy a carriage, so that he could put the prisoners in the carriage and take them into the city, so as not to be too conspicuous by being tied to the horse. There was no obstacle to entering the city, and Zhang Ning was an official in broad daylight.
, green light all the way.
They went straight back to the small alley where Lao Xu lived in Beicheng, and got the people and the car into the courtyard before they stopped for a while. The three of them bolted the courtyard door, and then escorted the middle-aged man down to a side room. Zhang Ning felt that he
It was a kidnapping, and a scene from the movie appeared in my mind, where a person was tied to a chair by Wuhuada, with a ball of cloth gagged in his mouth. So he followed the same example, and hurriedly commanded to find ropes to tie the prisoner Wuhuada to a pear blossom chair.
, and felt that this person was too noisy without asking him questions, so he blocked his mouth.
After working for a while, Lao Xu sat down to rest his breath, while Wenjun was busy boiling water. Lao Xu and the captive were covered in muddy water and had to take a bath and change clothes. Zhang Ning groped around on the man's body, trying to search for anything.
It's okay to search for some money and bring it out. Unexpectedly, the man struggled a few times without struggling before. He stared at Zhang Ning and made a "woo-woo" sound from his mouth as if he wanted to say something. Fortunately, he blocked his mouth in advance.
You don't have to listen to his nonsense now.
Sure enough, some silver coins and silver notes were found in the bag on his waist. This guy was still a wealthy man, and he carried dozens of taels of cash with him. Sorry, Zhang Ning had to accept it with a smile. He touched the middle-aged man's arms again.
When he arrived at something, he reached in unceremoniously, felt around, and pulled out a brown paper envelope.
The envelope was already wet. Zhang Ning carefully pulled out the paper inside and spread it out on the table. Protected by the envelope, although the paper was a little wet, it was not soaked and the words could be read.
The middle-aged man stopped struggling, but stared at the paper on the table with wide eyes, but he was helpless.
Seeing his expression, Zhang Ning became even more curious, and immediately went to read the words on the paper: At this critical moment, Peng Tianheng was ordered to attract the attention of the puppet eagles regardless of loss. March 29, twenty-sixth year.
Twenty-six years? Zhang Ning counted with his fingers and found that twenty-six years can only be calculated by using the Jianwen era name. This guy is undoubtedly a rebel. He glanced at the middle-aged man tied to the chair and didn't ask anything.
, took away the paper and asked Lao Xu to come out with him.
The two of them went to the kitchen together, Wenjun was boiling water, and Lao Xu, who was all wet, sat in front of the stove to add firewood and warm himself up. Zhang Ning said: "The goal at the beginning of this incident was to catch the bearded man, but now we have not succeeded.
So the reward..."
Lao Xu said: "Since there are rules, I will never complain. My boss just follows the rules."
"Listen to me." Zhang Ning said, "So the reward promised at the beginning is not a penny, but the person caught is quite useful, merit or demerit, and the reward for the next one is one hundred taels of silver. You two can be convinced.
?”
Lao Xu was a little surprised, and then nodded. Wenjun didn't say anything. Lao Xu had the final say here.
Zhang Ning took out another money bag, which he had collected from the prisoners. He poured the silver, copper and paper inside on the stove, then threw the bag into the fire and burned it. He pointed at the money and said: "Grab it."
The prisoner is the strength of two people, now we will divide the spoils extra. Each of you will get half."
This kind of thing caused many twists and turns, and the rewards were almost the same, but the explanations were different. Originally, Lao Xu thought it was a mistake to let the target person go, but he didn't expect Zhang Ning to be so kind.
share."
Zhang Ning smiled and said: "In terms of merit, the spoils are divided. I pay for the money, I pay for the goods, and I am the host. What do I want the credit for? Who wants the reward? So the credit is all yours."
The grandfather and grandson got about one hundred and fifty taels at once, which is almost equivalent to one hundred thousand yuan. It only took a few days to do one vote. They were indeed rich. If this wealth was in a small place, he could be regarded as a small rich man.
Already.
Although Lao Xu was a man who had seen the world, his face could not help but glow red and he was in a good mood.
"The reward for capturing the prisoner will be given to you next time. I didn't bring any banknotes." Zhang Ning said sternly, "There are some finishing touches below, and we can't be careless..."
He thought that in addition to being in contact with Fang Ling in Yangzhou in the past few months, he had not seen any unknown people following him. This compound might not be accessible to the rebels, and it would not be easy for them to enter the city to work.
The management here is relatively strict; but as a person that Peach Blossom Villa has noticed, it is not a bad thing to be mentally prepared. After thinking about it, he said: "If someone comes to rob someone, you threaten them with hostages. They will rob them whether they live or die, so you think first."
Run away and leave the hostages alone."
"Don't do anything to the prisoners?" Lao Xu asked.
Zhang Ning remembered that the guy mentioned that Miss Fang was the Peach Blossom Fairy again, so he shook his head: "Don't kill him. He will cause a lot of trouble by committing murders in the city."
Even if someone is robbed, it is probably okay to exchange the paper in your hand for the poem. As for the government, there is no need to worry about it. No one will come and mess around without Zhang Ning. Yangzhou Secret Agent
Zhang Ning has the biggest official here. If you want to do anything to him privately, it will take time to jump over the hierarchy and ask for instructions to get to the top. Or you may be too full and feel that you are too stable. There is still a big difference between officialdom and the world.
