Seeing Zhao An Jili saying goodbye and leaving, Han Che changed his arrogance towards himself and became more reasonable. Han Che raised the corners of his mouth and smiled evilly, his young face full of a smile of success.
"Sir, does Zhao An believe it?" the two subordinates asked Han Che.
"He will definitely believe it. This is all his father's wisdom. He has already anticipated Zhao An's temperament, and he has wanted to be the captain for a long time. The conditions proposed by his father are beneficial to him. We really know each other.
Jian Shuo, you can donate your official position to him. Even if you have doubts, at the very least, he can monopolize the wealth that the Qin family has plundered over the years."
Han Che explained with a sneer. He was not stupid. He had naturally seen it a long time ago. When he first said that he wanted to give away the wealth of Qinjiazhai, Zhao An was a little moved, but he was still a little wavering. But the captain's promise,
Rang made up his mind and placed a bet on whether Han Cheng's words were true or false. He would win big if it was true, and he would win small if it was false. There would be no harm in any case.
After Zhao An and Zhu Kui saluted in the backyard, Zhao An asked straight to the point: "The storyteller said he came to me in an emergency, but what is it?"
Zhu Kui squinted his eyes sideways and said in a pretentious manner: "The Mr. Han who was with Master Zhao just now is actually a water bandit leader. I didn't expect that Brother Zhao would actually engage in collusion between officials and bandits."
"Um"
When Zhao An heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked. How could he know that he was with Han Che? Could it be that he had heard all the conversations just now? The first thought in his mind was that this secret should not be exposed and killed.
But he soon calmed down, and the murderous intention dissipated immediately. He thought that his martial arts was ordinary, so he might not be able to eat the young man opposite him who had been practicing martial arts since he was a child. A confrontation would not end well. Since he invited me to come, he would still face him in person.
If you say it, there must be a plan.
When Zhu Kui saw Zhao An reveal his murderous intention in an instant, he quickly suppressed his murderous intention, smiled relaxedly, nodded and continued: "Actually, Zhu ordered A Zhan to tell the Lord that you are in an emergency. It is really urgent."
"Master Zhao, do you know that your life is at stake and disaster is imminent?"
Perhaps because of Zhu Kui's calm conversation, Zhao An also relaxed and pretended to be relaxed: "Since the storyteller has heard our conversation, it is better to directly explain the purpose of inviting me here, without beating around the bush."
"Since this is the case, let me tell you straight away. Han Che's invitation to Mr. Zhao to suppress the bandits is actually completely useless and may be a trap."
After hearing this, Zhao An must have taken it seriously and sneered: "The scholar is exaggerating. Then Han Che's father, Han Cheng, has been working with us for many years. How dare he bully me like this?"
"Mr. Zhao, have you ever thought about it? There are only two possibilities for your trip to suppress bandits this time. Let's talk about the first one first, which is the possibility of a trap. It was a trap jointly set by Changhuai Gaojiazhai and Qinjiazhai.
Bureau, deliberately lured the county soldiers to kill them all, and then quickly attacked Moling County. When Moling is empty, who can stop the bandits from wreaking havoc?"
Zhao An immediately opened his eyes wide and looked straight at Zhu Kui. He had never considered this. Zhu Kui's words made sense. The Changhuai River bandits had wanted to plunder Moling for a long time. The merchant ships on the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers were often attacked.
They intercepted that there were rumors that he wanted to go to Moling to make a fortune in order to harvest the mountains.
Some large trading houses in Jiangdong have sent private soldiers to join the government for many encirclement and suppression campaigns, but they all failed because of the water battle. You fight and I retreat, you retreat and I fight, and it is a stalemate. If it is really a trap this time, it doesn't matter whether he survives or not.
Come down, he will take the blame.
Seeing that Zhao An was a little frightened, Zhu Kui must have thought, "This guy has been frightened by me. He should be easy to persuade next." He became more and more confident and boasted: "Don't get excited, Mr. Zhao, this is just a moment."
There is another possibility. Another possibility is that Han Cheng did not lie to you. He really wants to unify the Huai River bandits, and he will indeed be able to donate the post of captain to you, Mr. Zhao, but this is another source of trouble. "...
"Another source of trouble, how can I say this? Don't take it for granted. I know that you, the storyteller, are more eloquent."
Zhao An really couldn't figure out why Han Cheng could help him become a captain, which was exactly what he wanted, so he was said to be the cause of trouble. He waited for Zhu Kui's explanation in confusion.
"It seems that Brother Zhao is still not clear about one thing, which is the latest situation in the court. The Shi Changshi and the people in the party, and the foreign ministers are now fighting fiercely for the position of the prince. The adults in the Zhongchang Shi support the Prince Association.
Foreign ministers and party members hope that Prince Bian will ascend to power."
"A few days ago, I heard Mr. Lu mention to me that for some unknown reason, Jian Changshi actually supported Wang Zibian and did not unite with Zhang Changshi and others, and the foreign ministers and party members had long been against this group of eunuchs.
The hatred is so deep that Jian Changshi is a double-faced person. However, he relied on His Majesty's protection in the past to protect himself. Now, Jian Changshi is walking on thin ice every day!"
As Zhu Kui spoke, he slowly approached Zhao An and spoke in his ear more and more as if something was happening.
The more Zhao An listened, the more frightened he became. His back was wet with sweat. Zhu Kui meant that Jian Shuo had taken some wrong medicine and was already in danger. Even if Han Cheng could donate it to him through Jian Shuo, he would be in danger.
Lieutenant, in the future, Jian Shuo will be sandwiched between biscuits by the fight between the regular servants and the foreign officials, and he will most likely be regarded as a party member and suffer unreasonable disasters.
You must know that the Duwei position is not a small position. It is the chief of a county, with a rank of two thousand stones. He assists the prefect in charge of military affairs and has great power.
"Hmph, I didn't expect that Han Cheng would be like this. He hid such important information from me. He was clearly going to kill me. If the storyteller hadn't reminded me now, it would be too late to regret it."
Zhao An slapped his palm on the case, stood up and roared in shame.
"Master Zhao, don't be angry. Please sit down first. I guess Han Cheng may not know about Jian Shuo's situation. How many people in Jiangnan are as well-informed as the Lu family!"
Although Zhu Kui said so, Zhao An was still furious: "But Zhao can't swallow this thing in his chest. If it doesn't work, I will mobilize the manpower of the Yamen to capture Han Che first and return him to prison."
After a period of severe torture, the dog head was returned to Han Cheng."
Seeing that Zhao An wanted to kill Han Che, Zhu Kui thought about it and thought of a plan. He stopped Zhao An who was about to leave and said: "If Mr. Zhao comes up with this evil intention, it is actually simple. After Han Che is captured, he will kill him."
If this is secondary, doesn’t Han Cheng want to unite the Huai River bandits? Mr. Zhao might as well send someone to tell him that you are willing to send troops."
"But Mr. Han wants to stay and help as a guide. When the time comes, all three of them will kill each other and be defeated. The reinforcements that Han Cheng expected do not come. Mr. Zhao can imagine what will happen."
"Then if I detained Han Che, would Han Cheng still believe me?"
"That's wrong. The more Mr. Zhao detains, the more he attaches importance to this matter. If you are not responsible for Han Cheng's conspiracy, you should believe in Brother Zhao's sincerity more. On the contrary, you should detain Han Che first and delay it later.
If you go out and get cut into pieces, you won't suffer any loss in the end, right?"
"Okay! The storyteller has really thought of everything. I will go back to the government office to mobilize some personnel."
Seeing Zhao An rushing away with interest, Zhu Kui showed a smile of disdain. Only mediocre people like this were appointed officials in the imperial court. Such an important position as county captain was given to such incompetent people for more than twenty years.
Year, I heard that his old uncle is the magistrate of this county."
But after Zhao An returned to the front hall, he asked his men to go back and send more good men, and went back to the box to hold Han Che back. Zhao An was not stupid at all, so he pretended to let Han Che stay overnight, saying that there would be a storyteller in the evening.
, that part of the story is so exciting that you shouldn’t miss it.
In the past five years, the word "book" has been spread throughout the six counties of Jiangdong, and everyone is imitating it. Of course, Moling is the leader. Han Che used to stay in Shuizhai and had little exposure to new things. He thought that he could settle important matters.
I agreed, but first asked my subordinates to go back and report a message to Han Cheng...
After all, he was young and had little knowledge. What Han Che didn't expect was that less than a quarter of an hour after his men left, more than a dozen county soldiers rushed out of the wing, and then they turned against each other on the spot. Han Che's skills were actually quite good. He had been working hard since he was a child.
With his martial arts skills, he fought with Zhao An up and down and smashed many drinking utensils, but in the end he was no match for the besieging of more than a dozen county soldiers armed with swords, and was captured in more than twenty rounds.
That night, Han Che was tortured to death by Zhao An in the cell. As the saying goes, he would never die with his eyes in peace. He could not understand why Zhao An, who had just been on good terms with each other, suddenly turned against him and wanted to kill him.
In fact, Zhao An only wanted to be severely tortured for a while, but he didn't want to start whipping himself, got interested, whipped too much, and couldn't stand it for a while.
Zhu Kui, the culprit behind Han Che's death, ordered A Zhan to turn around and meet his elder brother Zhu Meng after Zhao An left. He said that he would not go home for dinner tonight, so he hurriedly moved his horse and left the city.
From the overheard conversation, Zhu Kui already knew that Han Chengcheng was the second boss of Gaojiazhai. Kaohsiung once mentioned to himself the location of Gaojiazhai, near the river in the Niuzhu area, where a large number of gondolas were parked.
They rush, build boats, and fight ships to wait for the ships to form a temporary camp. The family members in the village usually only move along the river. If they are attacked by the enemy, they can leave by boat and escape into the vast Yangtze River, which is similar to the way of life of the nomadic people in the north.
Zhao An took Han Che away and returned to the county government. Zhu Kui sat in the room, thought for a while, sorted out his thoughts, and had a certain mind. He thought that the tall master was a hero after all, and couldn't bear to let him be treated like this by a villain.
I decided to report a letter to him, which was a way of doing my best.
Carrying the dragon scale dagger and pocket hand crossbow, he left the Piaoxiang Tower and went to fetch a horse from behind. Zhu Kui rushed from Moling County to Niuzukou without stopping. It was Shenshi time. After a short search along the coast, he found a huge
The camp is along the road on one side and close to the river on the other. The road is surrounded by a fence made of long wooden poles. On the other side, there are about 20 large boats and a dozen Mengchong, plus a large number of crisscrossing boats.
On the river.
As soon as Zhu Kuifang approached the village gate, two water bandits outside guarding the gate stopped him for questioning with swords drawn.
"Who dares to break into Gaojiazhai without dismounting?"
Zhu Kui nodded secretly, and with these two vigilance calls, it can be seen that the water bandits in Gaojiazhai are really well-trained. No wonder they can avoid the government's encirclement and suppression many times and become famous water bandits in the Changhuai waters.
"I, Zhu Kui, am a good friend of your headmaster. I was invited by your headmaster to come and visit me some time ago."
