Marry Changle in Datang

Chapter 724 Take it!Leave!

"How! Are you a little flustered when you hear that the emperor wants to take over your property in Chang'an City? That’s right, I don’t need this old man to teach you the truth of how steel is easy to dismantle, so why can’t such a smart boy calm down and find a better way to solve the problem when facing the situation?”

After joking with Qin Wenyuan a few words, Wei Zheng changed his tone and sighed to say what was in his heart. Qin Wenyuan knew that the politician of the Tang Dynasty said this because he was concerned about himself, so he couldn't help bowing down and thanking him.

"Qin listened to the words from the heart of the adults, and was taught!"

Wei Zheng was very pleased to see Qin Wenyuan like this...

The grand marshal's mansion broke up with joy, and the effect of the reception was quite good. Those officials from various states who had just joined the Qin family's camp all spoke highly of the sincerity and behavior of the Qin family, father and son, and Licheng military and government officials. Although I dare not say that these officials will return to their hearts, at least on the surface they will obey the Qin family's decree. If they want to make these officials completely return to their hearts, they still need to slowly blend in the future relationship.

During the few days before Wei Zheng returned to Chang'an in Licheng, apart from talking with Xu Changqing about the military affairs of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, Wei Zheng stayed with Qin Wenyuan. He wanted to see what this kid was busy with every day.

On this day, Wei Zheng went to Dengzhou with [-] cavalry and [-] infantry led by Qin Wenyuan. He was very interested in Mo Yazi, the second son of the Mo family, and Li Kuang, the master craftsman of the Qin family, who accompanied him this time.

After coming to the Dengzhou County Yamen and meeting the county magistrate Zhuang Degui, Qin Wenyuan conveyed to him the decision of the Metropolitan Governor’s Mansion to establish a navy and a military port in Dengzhou. Hearing such a big decision, Zhuang Degui was overjoyed. The status of the military port, Nadengzhou will change from a poor county close to the sea to a rich place.

The magistrate of the county government, Lizhuang, weepingly explained the difficulties that Dengzhou Jianjun Port will face. The main reason is that the bandits in the offshore area are rampant. A village was built in the city called Shamenzhai, and the name of the village is that of Dabao, even the children cry at night, as long as he tells his bad name, the children will not dare to cry again.

Hearing what the county magistrate Zhuang Degui said, Qin Wenyuan pondered for a while and said.

"It doesn't matter, County Magistrate Zhuang only needs to allocate a piece of land in a place suitable for building a military port and call in migrant workers and fishermen who know how to build ports and large ships. How about the rest of the matter? How many city defense forces does Zhuang County Magistrate have under his command now? You might as well mobilize them all, and when the barracks are built, those pirates, Mr. Qin, will gradually recruit them into the navy's soldiers, and all the vicious ones will be beheaded as soon as they are found out."

Seeing Qin Wenyuan's composure, County Magistrate Zhuang seemed to gain some confidence, and summoned the county clerk to give instructions.

"Mr. Chen, go here and call Chief Lu Maoer to the county government office to meet Master Wei and General Qin."

After the master left, Qin Wenyuan, Wei Zheng and others chatted with Zhuang county magistrate about the folk customs and customs of Dengzhou in the county government office. The local Dengzhou itself does not produce much food. Fishermen want to go to sea to catch more fish and shrimp in exchange for food and other daily necessities, but they are often robbed by pirates entrenched in various islands. Every fishing village and village in the mountains use corn and cold vegetables mixed with salt. The scene of drinking tea to satisfy hunger was very bleak, and Xu Tian and Wei Zheng sighed.

At this time, the master came in with a well-dressed white-faced thin man. This man had a look of arrogance on his face.

"Lu Maoer, the captain of the Dengzhou City Defense Battalion, came to see the Shangguan. I don't know what orders the Shangguan has for calling Lu?"

Seeing this unfamiliar and unpleasant Dengzhou city defense battalion captain Xu Tian, ​​he couldn't remember ever meeting him. When he led the army to capture Dengzhou last time, he remembered the city defense battalion leader at that time. Guan Nai was a handsome man, how could he be replaced by this arrogant thin man in such a short period of time.

Seeing this, Qin Wenyuan didn't say anything for now, and immediately ordered his personal guards to call the head of the Qin Army's garrison here. He had to ask what was going on before he could make a decision.

After the guards were ordered to go out of the yamen to the place where the Qin family army was stationed, Qin Wenyuan said to Lu Maoer.

"Lieutenant Lu, please sit down! It won't be too late until the generals of the Dengzhou garrison arrive..."

Before Qin Wenyuan finished speaking, this Lu Maoer sat beside the magistrate Zhuang with a big red face, not paying attention to Wei Zheng and other generals of the Qin army in the yamen, which caused anger to appear on everyone's faces. With a smiling face, I am afraid that this person would have been reprimanded and driven out of the county government.

After a little time, the personal guards brought in a middle-aged general in armor, who knelt on one knee and shouted loudly after seeing Qin Wenyuan.

"The last general, Zhou Xing, has met the major general!"

Qin Wenyuan smiled and said when he saw that the person was wearing the uniform of the fifth rank cavalry captain of the Qin family army.

"General Zhou doesn't need to be polite, just get up and talk!"

Zhou Xing got up and greeted the others separately and stood on one side, Qin Wenyuan continued.

"General Zhou sat down to talk. Mr. Qin remembered that the head of the Dengzhou City Defense Battalion didn't seem to be surnamed Lu. Do you have anything to say?"

"Major General, it turned out that the leader of the city defense battalion was indeed not Lu Maoer, but a few days ago, because pirates from Salmon Island attacked Dengzhou, the original leader of the city defense battalion was killed by pirates, so the troops of the city defense battalion elected Lu Maoer. As a new leader, this matter has not yet been reported to the Marshal's Mansion, no, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion knows..."

While Qin Wenyuan was talking to Zhou Xing, a woman with a little girl came outside the yamen, and the mother and daughter knelt outside the yamen and cried loudly.

"My lord, please be the master of the orphans and widows of the slave family! The concubine's husband was murdered by the bandits in Lu Maoer's collusion with Salmon Island. Lu Maoer relied on his family being a wealthy family in Dengzhou, and the county magistrate dared not appeal for the slave family's grievances." , Today, the slave family learned that the general came to Dengzhou, and asked the general to appeal for the slave family, and the slave family will die in peace!"

At this time, many people had already gathered outside the county government office, all of them were extremely sympathetic to the mother and daughter, but none of them dared to step forward to help.

Hearing the shouts of grievance from outside, Xu Tian turned to look at County Magistrate Zhuang, but seeing the magistrate Zhuang's eyes flickering, Qin Wenyuan already knew it, so he shouted loudly.

"Invite this woman who complained of grievances into the yamen, Xu wants to ask her why she has grievances."

After the personal guards called the mother and daughter into the hall, Qin Wenyuan ordered the middle door to be opened to allow the people to watch, and he sat on the county magistrate's seat and asked the mother and daughter warmly.

"The woman in the hall can speak out her grievances. If it is true, as you said, Xu will seek justice for you."

"My lord! The slave's family is Lu Zhang, the wife of Lu Jin, the captain of the city defense battalion. A few days ago, Lu Maoer came to my concubine's house to report to my humble husband that pirates from Salmon Island had infested the county. The poor man heard Lu Maoer's report. Afterwards, he took his servant Lu San and Lu Maoer together to go to the city defense camp. In the middle of the night, Lu San returned home covered in blood and talked to his concubine. An ambush was set up at a sheltered place by the sea, and when the poor man arrived with his soldiers, he fell into the trap of the pirates. The poor poor man and dozens of soldiers from the city defense battalion were all killed by the pirates, but Lu San was witty and wounded and used a The body of the dead soldier pressed himself, and only then saw Lu Maoer and the bandit leader having a laugh and chat at the seaside, and then realized that everyone was betrayed by Lu Maoer..."

Hearing what Tangxia Lu and Zhang said, Qin Wenyuan already knew the reason of the incident, but he still didn't know why this Lu Maoer was like this. Could it be that he wanted to kill Lu Jin and replace him in his official position?
Looking at Lu Maoer who still didn't pay attention to everything in front of him, Qin Wenyuan shouted again.

"Lieutenant Lu, now that Mrs. Lu Zhang is suing you for colluding with bandits from Salmonella Island to kill her husband and dozens of soldiers from the city defense battalion, don't you have anything to say? Or do you think I dare not do anything to you and have nothing to fear?"

"Little general, don't be misled by this crazy woman's nonsense. That day Lu Jin refused to listen to a certain family's dissuasion and insisted on chasing the pirates at night. Since he was killed by the pirates, it has nothing to do with Lu. If there is nothing wrong here, Lu Jin So I left, and the little general will take his time to deal with the case."

While talking, Lu Maoer got up and wanted to go out, as if these people had nothing to do with him, and he didn't pay attention to all the superiors.

Qin Wenyuan had never seen such an arrogant person before, he couldn't help laughing angrily, and immediately said loudly to his personal guard.

"Take down this official, I want to see why he is so arrogant!"

When all the guards heard Qin Wenyuan's order, they stepped forward to take down Lu Mao'er, but unexpectedly, the guard drew a weapon from his waist and stabbed Xu Tian straight after he let out a sneer.

In the exclamation of the guards, Qin Wenyuan picked up the gavel on the table and tapped it on the tip of the weapon that was stabbing him.

"bump!"

After the muffled sound, Qin Wenyuan floated up from the chair like a ****, and quickly danced his palms to attack Lu Maoer, but seeing that the servant did not show any weakness, he shook out a few sword flowers from the tip of the sword that changed its trajectory Attack Qin Wenyuan.

Qin Wenyuan let out a soft "Huh!"

He didn't expect that this guy's martial arts were so strong, no wonder he didn't pay attention to the people in the house since he entered the county government, but he was a little proud of his own martial arts.

After striking out a few palms to block Lu Maoer's sword energy, Qin Wenyuan signaled his personal guards to protect the safety of Wei Zheng and others, and immediately launched the "Qiankun Wuji Hand" and "Ghost Shadow Step" moves to coordinate, one yin and one yang in the dantian. Follow the rotation of the bead to penetrate the whole body.

I saw Qin Wenyuan follow Lu Maoer's sword tip shaking and use it with his palms, the empty-handed and white-blade moves learned in the army in the previous life stick to the long sword's attack or retreat or forward, left or right, and the "ghost shadow step" under his feet is erratic The end is swift, forcing the long sword in Lu Mao'er's hand to gradually become difficult to use.

Feeling the alternation of cold and hot breath invading his body along the long sword, Lu Maoer's moves became more and more difficult. Unexpectedly, this guy was also a ruthless person, risking being hit by Qin Wenyuan's palm, his chest opened wide , holding the sword in both hands, jumped up, and like an eagle fighting, he used a fierce move to slash Huashan, slamming Qin Wenyuan's head, trying to kill Qin Wenyuan in one fell swoop.

Qin Wenyuan showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth when he saw this, and used the word "reliable" in the Taiji Kungfu to rush to the empty door in front of Lu Mao'er. He also jumped up to bully this guy, and quickly patted his chest and abdomen with his single palm. In the meantime, the other hand raised two fingers and pointed at the Jiquan acupoint on the armpit of this guy's arm.

After the muffled sound of the palm touching the flesh and the light and crisp sound of the long sword falling to the ground, Lu Maoer was already trembling with fatigue. Jumping, tearing apart his extraordinary eight meridians, and the acupuncture points in his armpits made him unstoppably hot.

Seeing that Lu Maoer was helpless to fight back, Qin Wenyuan clapped his hands and sat back in his seat and shouted to the guards.

"Tied up!"

The personal guards tied Lu Mao'er in front of the hall, this fellow was pale and bowed his head and said nothing.

"Tell me! Who gave you the courage to use force against the young master in the county government?"

"Qin Wenyuan, don't be arrogant. I will wait for the Buddhist disciples to swear that I will never die with you. It's a pity that I have controlled the city defense camp for too short a time, otherwise this Dengzhou will be your burial place."

"Buddhist disciple? Which temple are you, the disciple of that monk, how did you sneak into the city defense camp and collude with the pirates? At this time, I will give you a whole body if you really recruit me, otherwise I will chop it up and throw it into the sea to feed the fish." .”

Seeing Lu Maoer's unshaved appearance, Qin Wenyuan asked puzzledly, but he didn't know that he had long been designated as a must-kill figure by Buddhism. Since the Jinsheng Temple in Chang'an City was burned, Master Shande gathered a group of Buddhist eminent monks to secretly The Buddhist monks who did not know the cause of the incident handed down the Buddhist decree, and if they found Qin Wenyuan, they would try to kill the son.

Qin Wenyuan finally knew that Lu Maoer was a lay disciple of Jinsheng Temple after his personal guards used torture tools to question him. He was originally a son of a wealthy family in Dengzhou. According to his wish, he invited an old monk who went down to practice to teach him boxing and swordsmanship, because this guy's talent is not bad, so he was loved by this monk and he passed on his profound inner strength of Buddhism.

This guy is proud of his martial arts after practicing the Buddhist inner skills and mental methods. There are few invincible opponents in Dengzhou. After a long time, he will develop the arrogant character of the boss and his second child. Anyone who disagrees with him will use some dirty tricks. Eliminate dissidents.

Lu Jin of the city defense camp is the eldest brother of his clan, this guy joined the city defense camp as a small leader because he got so much money, and was doing mischief with his brothers all day long, causing the people in Dengzhou to be angry with him and dare not speak out against him. Jin persuaded him to restrain himself a little, but this fellow turned a deaf ear to him, and over time he harbored a grudge against the elder brother of the clan.

In a battle with the pirates of Salmon Island, Lu Maoer and his subordinates accidentally fell into the hands of the pirates. In order to survive, he agreed to the pirates to serve as the internal support of Salmon Island in the Dengzhou city defense camp. Qin Wenyuan led his army to capture the At the time of Dengzhou, Lu Maoer knew that Qin Wenyuan was the one who must be killed in Buddhism, so he discussed with Lu Jin that he wanted to secretly poison Qin Wenyuan when the Qin army had just captured Dengzhou, but Lu Jin refused and severely reprimanded him It would bring catastrophe to the brothers, but Lu Jin was so angry that he was timid and replaced him with a vicious heart, thinking about how to deal with Qin Wenyuan after he mastered the city defense army.

When Qin Wenyuan led his army to leave Dengzhou and the remaining garrison was busy rearranging the city defenses of Dengzhou, Lu Maoer sent a message to the pirate leader on the outskirts of Shamen Island, and the two sides agreed to ambush Lu Jin outside the city of Dengzhou.
