Ping An Biography

Chapter 65 3 Inch Incorrupt Tongue

Old Xu and Wen Jun returned empty-handed, and saw that Zhang Ning had come out with a horse and was escorting a man who had been tied behind the back on the main road, Old Xu shouted: "The cavalry is dispatched from Zhuangzi!"

Zhang Ning didn't say anything after hearing this, and hurriedly led the horse to the side of the roadside, pointing his sword at the middle-aged scribe: "Get on the horse, dare to make trouble, believe it or not, I will kill you with a knife?" The gleaming long sword looked as if it would cut off at any moment.The middle-aged man had no choice but to get on the horse slowly, but Zhang Ning kept holding the rein in his hand.

At this time, Lao Xu and the others rushed to the front, and Zhang Ning ordered quickly: "Old Xu rides this horse, and controls the prisoner so that he doesn't let him mess around. Let's get on the horse and set off!"

As the horses were prepared in advance, Zhang Ning hadn't seen the cavalry behind when he set off on the road, and the sound of horses' hoofs could be heard too clearly, so there were probably few horses.But Lao Xu doesn't seem like Zhang Fei's kind of master who can fight thousands of troops by himself, and Peng Tianheng is not a vegetarian either.

"I'm not doing well..." Old Xu said immediately with some guilt.

Zhang Ning said: "Don't talk about this, let's talk about it when you go back. The most important thing for you now is to keep an eye on this prisoner. If you don't catch the thief, this person will be very useful."

Passing by Yizhen County, Zhang Ning ordered not to enter the city, and walked directly to the main road of Yangzhou.Because there were Xie Jun's people in the inn in Yizhen County, and Zhang Ning personally arranged it. If something happened and the spies saw it, it would be another trouble.

After passing Yizhen County, there was no trace of the pursuers.Old Xu explained: "That guy's methods are not too clever. I got the upper hand in several rounds, but he was strong and couldn't hold him back. In the end, he fell into the muddy water and became a scuffle. The advantage in physical strength is obvious. That's it... After all, the old man is old and his physical strength can't keep up. But if I fight with long weapons in a spacious place, I should be able to beat him."

"Are you Zhang Pingan?" The middle-aged man suddenly asked.

Zhang Ning turned to look at him in surprise, and he said again: "I heard Peach Blossom Fairy mentioned you... and Miss Fang."

"Shut up! If you want to fool me with your three-inch tongue, I'm afraid you've found the wrong person." Zhang Ning cursed.

Xu Wenjun couldn't help but said: "Our Master Zhang also relies on this. Grandpa didn't beat that bearded man, but the Dong family won one to open our eyes?"

"I have my own way to deal with this person, let's talk about getting it back safely." Zhang Ning said.

When approaching Yangzhou, Zhang Ning asked Lao Xu to take money to buy a carriage in a town, so that the captives could be loaded in the cart and brought into the city, so that they would not be too conspicuously tied to the horse.There is no obstacle to entering the city, and Zhang Ning is an official again in broad daylight, with green lights all the way.

He went straight back to the alley where Lao Xu lived in Beicheng, and he brought his car into the yard before he stopped for a while.The three of them bolted the courtyard door, and then escorted the middle-aged man down into a wing room.Zhang Ning felt that he was being kidnapped, and a scene from a movie appeared in his mind. A person was tied to a chair by five flowers, and his mouth was still gagged with a ball of cloth.So he learned the same way, busy commanding to find a rope to tie the prisoner Wuhuada to a pear flower chair, and felt that this person was talking too loudly without asking him, so he blocked his mouth.

After working for a while, Lao Xu sat down to rest his breath, while Wen Jun was busy boiling water, Lao Xu and the captives were covered in muddy water and had to take a bath and change clothes.Zhang Ning fumbled around the man, trying to find something, even if he found some money.Unexpectedly, the man struggled a few times without struggling before, and stared at Zhang Ning as he wanted to say something from his mouth, but luckily he blocked his mouth in advance so as not to listen to his nonsense. .

Sure enough, some silver coins and bank notes were found from the pocket in his waist. This guy was still a wealthy man, and he carried dozens of taels of cash with him.Sorry, Zhang Ning had no choice but to accept it with a smile.He touched something in the middle-aged man's arms again, and unceremoniously reached in, touched it and took out a kraft paper envelope.

The envelope was already wet, so Zhang Ning carefully pulled out the paper inside and spread it out on the table.With the protection of the envelope, although the paper is a little wet, it has not been soaked, and the words can be read.

The middle-aged man stopped struggling, but stared at the paper on the table with rounded eyes, but there was nothing he could do.

Seeing his expression, Zhang Ning became even more curious, so he immediately went to read the words on the paper: The big event is at an urgent time, and Peng Tianheng was ordered to draw the attention of the false court eagle dog regardless of loss. March 26, 29.

26 years?Zhang Ning made a calculation, and only by using the Jianwen year name can he get 26 years. This guy is undoubtedly a rebellious party.He glanced at the middle-aged man tied to the chair, took the paper away without asking any questions, and asked Lao Xu to come out together.

The two went to the kitchen together, Wen Jun was boiling water, and Lao Xu, who was all wet, sat in front of the stove to add firewood to warm up the fire.Zhang Ning said: "The goal of this incident at the beginning was to catch the bearded man, but now he has not succeeded, so the reward..."

Old Xu said: "Since there are rules, the old man will never complain, and the boss will follow the rules."

"Listen to me." Zhang Ning said, "So the reward promised at the beginning is not a cent, but the person caught is quite useful. Whether it is merit or demerit, the latter reward is 100 taels of silver, can you accept it? "

Old Xu was a little surprised, and then nodded, Wenjun didn't say anything, and Lao Xu had the final say when he was present.

Zhang Ning took out another money bag, which was found from the prisoner, poured the silver, copper and paper inside on the stove, and then threw the bag into the fire and burned it.Pointing to the money, he said, "It's two people's effort to catch the captives, now we divide the loot extra. Each of you gets half of it."

There are many twists and turns in such a matter, the rewards are actually the same, but the sayings are different.Originally, Lao Xu felt that letting go of the target person was a mess, but he didn't expect Zhang Ning to be so kind, so he was a little embarrassed: "If you want to say that the owner has a share of the spoils."

Zhang Ning said with a smile: "The spoils are divided according to the credit. I pay the money and the goods. I am the host. What do I want credit for? Who should I ask for the reward? So the credit is all yours."

The grandfather and grandson got about 150 taels at once, which is almost equivalent to 10 yuan. It only took a few days to make a ticket, which is indeed a sudden wealth.If this net worth is in a small place, he can be regarded as a small rich man.

Although Lao Xu is a person who has seen the world, he can't help but blush at this time, and he is in a good mood.

"The reward money for capturing the captives will be given to you next time. I didn't bring a silver ticket." Zhang Ning said seriously, "There are still some finishing touches, so don't be sloppy..."

He thought about his contact with Fang Ling in Yangzhou for a few months, and he didn't see any unknown people following him. Li's management is relatively strict; but as someone noticed by Peach Blossom Villa, it's not a bad thing to be mentally prepared.After thinking about it, he said: "If someone comes to rob people, you will threaten them with hostages. If they don't care about robbing them alive or dead, you should first find a way to escape, and don't care about the hostages."

"Don't do anything to the prisoners?" Old Xu asked.

Zhang Ning remembered that guy mentioned that Miss Fang belonged to Peach Blossom Fairy again, so he shook his head: "Don't kill him, he will cause trouble in the city if he commits a murder."

Even if someone is robbed, it is probably okay to exchange the piece of paper in your hand for your poem.As for the government, there is no need to worry about it, no one will mess around without Zhang Ning, Zhang Ning is the biggest official in the Yangzhou secret agent side, and it would take time to leapfrog to ask for instructions to go to the peak, or It's just that if you are full and feel that you are too stable, there is still a little difference between officialdom and Jianghu.
