Compete for the Song Dynasty

Early the next morning, before Lu Shenyan and He Libo went out to inquire about this "sloppy Zhang", this sloppy Zhang came to the door by himself

As usual in the morning, Wang Pang would take a stance and exercise his muscles. At that time, he was still thinking about how sloppy this sloppy sheet was. , go straight to the living room

He originally thought that since the sloppy sheet was labeled as sloppy, it must not be very clean, and he was even prepared to come in and see a beggar covered in dirt, who would have known?

This so-called sloppy old man turned out to be a pristine old man.

I saw that he was six or seventy years old, with white beard and hair, thin but ruddy face, kind brows, piercing eyes, straight body, and no wrinkle in his light gray robe. Jiang Ziya.This is not a sloppy Zhang, if he changed into a Taoist robe, wouldn't he be a fairy Zhang. [

The two met Li, and the sloppy Zhang reported his family name: "My surname is Zhang, and my name is Yi. The nickname "Sloppy Zhang" is an old friend of Mr. Bao. I heard that the young master is coming, and I am here to pay a visit."

Hearing his voice, Wang Pang was full of confidence, not like someone who is 70 or [-] years old, but also so humble, so he offered a seat for tea and asked: "Xiao Ke is indeed looking for Mr., I don't know how Mr. finds Xiao Ke in the first place."

Sloppy Zhang then told the king the reason.It was only during the conversation between the two that Wang Pang knew that the name "Sloppy Zhang" was given by Mr. Bao.

Because Zhang Yi was originally a wealthy family in this county more than ten years ago, he had been in business for many years and had some savings, and planned to live in Chenzhou to support his old age.In the second year of Huangyou's reign, it rained heavily for several days. The area of ​​Yu and Bo was full of pits, and many refugees became beggars.

Before Mr. Bao came to Chenzhou to release food, Zhang Yi took out all his surplus food, not to mention that he personally rescued refugees, and helped bury some refugees who died of starvation, and even organized beggars and refugees to help themselves.I don't care about coming and going, and I don't have time to deal with them, and I hang out with those people every day.

Bao Zheng came to visit in casual clothes, met Zhang Yi, and saw that he was with beggars and refugees all day long, taking care of himself in his free time.So they jokingly called him Sloppy Zhang, and thought it became a nickname. As a result, everyone knew Sloppy Zhang, but everyone knew Zhang Yi.Hou Bao master Chenzhou released grain and rescued the people.

After the flood, some people returned to their hometowns to continue farming and doing business to rebuild.There are also some old, weak, sick and disabled who make a living by begging, Zhang Yi still helps out, and at the same time, the old are raised, the dead are buried, and the young are treated a little bit.Slowly everyone called him sloppy head.Later, he misrepresented and became a "group leader".

And those beggars can be regarded as repaying their kindness, always giving him some gifts, but at first he didn't accept them, but later seeing that everyone was sincere, so they simply managed and settled them in a unified way. .Zhang Yi set some regulations for them, such as not being able to engage in illegal activities of robbing houses; they must wear standard clothes to beg in specific areas or for specific objects, and they are subject to group restraint obligations, etc.

The head of the Wang listener is big, and he knows this "group leader". The song and Yuan story novel "Jin Yu Nu beats the lover with a stick" describes the beggar group leader Jin Boss in Hangzhou city. The pole in his hand is the leader's mark , the beggars who rule the whole city, that is the earliest beggar gang.

Unexpectedly, I would meet the patriarch of the "head of the beggar gang" again. If Zhang Yi was really holding a green stick in his hand, Wang Pang would definitely fall to his knees and ask Zhang Yi to teach him the dog-beating stick method or the ten dragon subduing method. Eight palms or something.

No wonder Zhang Yi found himself first along the way. This can be attributed to talking with beggars and giving rewards everywhere on the road.However, what would such a great god have to do with the king?

Wang Pang asked Zhang Yi with doubts, and Zhang Yi explained that he had always wanted to visit Mr. Bao, but he had no time to visit because he accidentally became a "group leader".He heard that Wang Pang was looking for him, and knew that he was Bao Zheng's adopted son, so it was one of them to come here in person.

As for the second, because there have been robbers in Longhu in recent years, some young disciples in the beggar gang couldn't bear the hardships, so they entered the robbery business. I heard that Wang Pang was ordered to suppress the bandits this time, so I also hope that the suppression of the bandits goes well. Then ask Wang Pang to deal with the disciples of the Beggar Gang lightly.Zhang Yi will help himself.

Speaking of this, Zhang Yi asked Wang Pang, is there any plan for this bandit suppression?

Seeing Zhang Yi asking this question, Wang Pang thought for a moment, it is not clear whether Zhang Yi is true or not, but seeing that Zhang Yi and himself kept looking at each other while talking, their eyes were sincere, and what they said did not seem to be fabricated, and was even more accurate. The love and love of the disciples of the beggar gang.

He just said that the plan to come here this time is to find out the situation of the robbers first, so as to know ourselves and the enemy, and secondly, to catch evidence of collusion between officials and bandits, and clean up the county government.The third is to hear that Zhang Yi is good at swordsmanship, and wants to learn swords from a teacher.

After hearing this, Zhang Yi said with a smile: "There is no need to be a teacher. I inherited the family business when I started business, and I traveled around all the year round. The first thing I learned was to strengthen my body and have a good physique. The other thing is that I can defend myself in times of war, like a three-legged cat." Kung fu, my nephew just wants to learn from you. What's more, my nephew has done a great thing for the firm."

Wang Pang was confused, Zhang Yi said, in the past six months, official shops have been built in various places, providing great convenience for merchants.Many merchants admire Wang Pang.When Wang Pang heard it, he was overjoyed: for the first time, he really realized the benefits of returning to ancient times for modern people.Although it cannot be said to be arbitrary, it is still very beneficial to the development and progress of society.

But having said that, if he is not the son of Wang Anshi or Bao Zheng's adopted son, he will be appreciated by Emperor Renzong.This "rudimentary form" of a modern bank does not know when it will appear. [

There were many surprises this morning, Zhang Yi's appearance brought Wang Pang a lot of good news, but the following conversation made Wang Pang ponder.

Zhang Yi talked about the situation of the robbers, and told Wang Pang that the leader of the robbers was the son of Nong Zhigao, whose alias was Nan Jifeng.Wang Pang was even more happy in his heart, if he caught this person, it would be a great achievement.

Wang Pang said: "If Mister helps my nephew capture this man, Xiao Ke will definitely ask the imperial court for a reward!"

Zhang Yi shook his head, his expression became serious, and he said: "It is said that Nong Zhigao rebelled, but in my opinion, it is really wronged. This Nong Zhigao is very popular in Guangyuan Prefecture, and he is a hero!"

Wang Pang was shocked, surprised at why Zhang Yi said this, and he said it outspokenly, but then thought about the freedom of speech in Renzong's court, and the people express their opinions, and it is not an exaggeration to listen to the old man's thoughts.So he asked Zhang Yi for advice.

Zhang Yi said: "Nong Zhigao inherited his father's position as the chief of Guangyuan Prefecture. Betrayed by treacherous officials of the Song court, he returned home poor, and was in a desperate situation, and had no choice but to break the boat." At this point, Zhang Yi stopped, thoughtful.

Wang Pang knew that Cochin is now Vietnam, and he was at a loss when he heard these words. He didn't expect that there was such a reason for Nong Zhigao's rebellion against Song Dynasty.He thinks he is a person who admires heroes, and Di Qing is a hero. Isn't Nong Zhigao who fought against Vietnam a hero?According to Wang Pang's own point of view, this Di Qing is a hero of the Song Dynasty, and this Nong Zhigao is indeed a national hero.

But now, I want to exterminate the descendants of national heroes, Wang Pang, Wang Pang, what kind of person do you want to go back to the Song Dynasty to be?

Wang Pang patted the armrest of the chair and stood up, this treacherous minister really deserves to be killed!He gritted his teeth and said these words angrily.

Which one Zhang Yi shook his head, "The Taizu wore a yellow robe, and he was most afraid of the military generals' self-respect. This Nong Zhigao and Mr. Di Qing, in fact, both harmed themselves from this "martial arts" and the voice of the people."

Wang Pang said: "This emperor is actually such a small peasant consciousness!!! What a tm mentally handicapped"

When Wang Pang heard about Nong Zhigao's experience, he became even more indignant. He fought against such a great hero in Vietnam, Nong Zhigao, and even sent his mentor to fight if he didn't comfort him.The more I thought about it, the more angry I couldn't help blurting it out!

Zhang Yi didn't understand what he was saying.Just seeing that he was very angry, he turned away from his contemplation and looked at the king.This young man is calm, wise, and definitely not a cunning person. It was rumored from the outside world that he had saved Diqing from death, so he was already optimistic about him.

So he went on to say: "The life of the people on the border is very different from that in the capital where you are. The sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the local officials pay a lot of miscellaneous taxes. Nong is smart and capable, and he is also the support of the people."

Does Wang Pang know himself? Zhang Yi didn't understand what he was scolding, so he respectfully gave Zhang Yi a deep bow and said, "To tell you the truth, Mr. Xiao Ke originally planned to use the name of Zhao'an to wipe out the banditry. But listen to Mr. I'm at a loss, please give me your advice."

Seeing Wang Pang's genuine temperament, Zhang Yi himself praised Bao Zheng's eyesight in accepting this adopted son.Zhang Yi stood up and helped Wang Pang up, he looked at Wang Pang's imposing eyebrows, his handsome appearance, he had been in the world by himself for many years, and he was at this age again.Judging people is absolutely not wrong, this child has a bright future.

So he said: "I am a close friend with Bao Zheng, and I will definitely help you. There are two roads in front of you."

First: Take the road of Di Qing

Second: take the road of Nongzhigao.

Wang Pang frowned when he heard this, I respect this old gentleman, why did he point me to a dead end. : "Is there no other way?"

Zhang Yi laughed: "You and I don't know how to travel through the past and the present!"

Wang Pang's eyes lit up, and several thoughts flashed in his mind, he hurriedly asked, what does the master say is the art of traveling through the past and the present? [

Zhang Yi smiled: "When I was young, I was like you. I loved to inquire everywhere I went. This is also a rumor." Seeing that Wang was interested in listening, he explained: "There is a legend in the land of Yanyun: there are two The sacred stone is like Taiji Yin and Yang, one can be used to travel through ancient times, and the other can be obtained in unknown places. Combine these two stones, and you can go anywhere as you like."

Wang Pang was shocked, didn't he just have this black crystal stone?But he said: "Yes, whoever has this stone can go back to the time and persuade the emperor."

Zhang Yi looked at him, "It's good to be able to get it. If you can't get two stones at the same time, it is said that the person who only has one stone will wait until after death, and the stone will disappear with everyone. Of course, these are all legends. No one has seen it with their own eyes. But the old man doesn't understand, it's easy to go through ancient times, but this more modern stone, after several generations, the age of the two stones will be farther and farther away, how can we get both stones at the same time?"

Wang Pang was also surprised when he was asked, but he immediately slapped his head and said, "Xiao Ke thought of it~~"
