Compete for the Song Dynasty

Chapter 44 Disintegrating the Longhu Bandits

Wang Pang hurriedly searched for news about Liang Yuexia: the good news is that during this period of time, it was confirmed that Liang Yuexia was not in the hands of the robbers.

The bad news is that no one has seen Liang Yuexia, let alone know where she is.Could it be that he was buried in Longhu this month?Wang Pang didn't want to believe it.Settling down completely in Chenzhou, seeing no one alive, renting a boat and hiring a fisherman, even if sinking in Longhu, you will still see the dead body.He didn't believe that the living person just disappeared like that.

But Zhang Yi also went to Longhu Mountain Villa in person, and told Wang Pang that Liang Yuexia was not in the hands of the gangsters. Wang Pang didn't ask Master how he did it. If it is not in the hands of the gangsters, act boldly here.

On the surface, Wang Pang was either boating on the lake, or in restaurants and teahouses with Zhang Yi and Zhang Yi. There were many merchants who admired Zhang Yi's name and visited him. Wang Pang accompanied him to chat and laugh over wine.This official, one businessman, one old and one young, one benevolent and the other high-spirited, are attracting more and more attention.

Zhang Yi is also a celebrity in Wanqiu, what's more, Longhu Villa not only has disciples of the Beggar Clan, but also admires Zhang Yiwu's knowledge in business and business, so he has the ability to make friends with him. [

The robbers at Longhu Mountain Villa had a grudge against Wang Pang before, not because Wang Pang was Di Qing's apprentice, and he was causing trouble during the Lantern Festival. When Wang Pang returned to Chenzhou after seeing Wang Pang, he was extremely defensive. He didn't force the government, so he slowly let go of his guard

Wang Bang didn't care about the county government's suppression of bandits, but the more he didn't ask, the more nervous the county magistrate became.There is no other way to explain it, especially since Wang Pang seems to be settling in Chenzhou, the county magistrate is eager to let him leave early, Wang Pang is equal to him in the first place.Then Zhang Yi and Wang Pang were together, and some civil disputes and miscellaneous matters were resolved by the two singing and talking.The county is safe, but there is no oil and water when it is safe.

The county magistrate sent people to pretend to besiege once or twice, first to show the king, and second, to instruct the robbers that it was time to give money.

Seeing it in Wang Pang's eyes, he didn't comment or say he didn't care about it, and he didn't intend to set off to return to the capital. The county magistrate Nai sent someone to send a "request for security" to Longhu Villa. Both sides are masters, and one should be sent away no matter what. .

Lu Shenyan and He Libo were not idle either. According to Wang Pang's intention, Chen Zhou released the news that Zhang Yi, the "leader" of the original beggar gang disciples, undertook the insurance. Those who had joined the bandits returned to the beggar gang, and on the other hand, the imperial court recruited robbers. , Those who surrender can be incorporated into the Xiangbing, which is different from the Forbidden Army, and also different from the Township Soldiers.Mostly responsible for building bridges and paving roads in prefectures and counties.A little effort every month can be regarded as a solid income, and you don't have to put your head on your belt.

Wang Bang disintegrated the inside of the robbers step by step, and achieved initial results. Originally, there were only about thirty or so bandits, and there were only a dozen or so less.

The county magistrate also came to report, and the robbers opened their mouths. Please reward a hundred taels of gold, and then you can accept the recruitment.

Who is Wang Pang?Bao Zheng's righteous son, Bao Zheng is in charge of the third department, and Wang Pang is in Bianjing without contact with this financial matter, not to mention that he has always cared about the money.

According to Wang Pang's knowledge: In the first year of Tiansheng, Gong County occupied 18 hectares of land due to the construction of Song Zhenzong's Yongding Mausoleum, with an estimated value of 700 guan, an average of 388 renminbi per mu.In order to show his filial piety to the first emperor and the generosity and grace of the royal family, Song Renzong raised the price to 1000 guan, that is, 555 ren per mu, which is obviously not the market price anymore.

The ratio of gold and silver is between one to four to one to six; one tael of silver can be exchanged for six or seven hundred copper coins.The robbers wanted several times the 18 hectares of land.

If this agrees to the robbers, the court will be crazy, and everyone will become robbers in the future.Wang Pang told the county magistrate, "You have to ask for instructions on this matter. The county magistrate, you should send troops to guard everywhere first, so that you can't afford to prevent bandits from leaking out."

Wang Pang knew that there must be fraud here, and Nan Jifeng was the one who absconded with a crime, and with his status and background, he would never do something like a lion asking for money but not his life.

Oh, by the way, County Magistrate Chang, I'm just urging, just report to the court, and I can't discuss the details. Don't be embarrassed by the numbers, I will definitely fight for you.Before you leave, please write a note and write down the robber's request. I have a number in my heart.

The county magistrate hesitated, and then looked at Wang, holding up the bird cage and smiling brightly.It was not the right time for Xiao Lu to come in, so he whispered to Wang Pang that Zhang Yina had come as a distinguished guest, and that Zhang Yina had found Zhang Yina after making eight turns. .

The county magistrate Chang listened carefully, which seemed to be quite beneficial.After hearing this, Wang Pang immediately stood up and went to Zhang Yi's mansion. When he turned around and saw the county magistrate Chang was still in a daze, he said: "There is an unspoken rule in everything." After speaking, he seemed a little bit helpless.

As soon as the county magistrate heard this, he quickly wrote an explanation, signed it with his own handwriting, and handed it to Wang Pang with a smile on his face.

Wang Pang laughed loudly, "Haha, it's easy to say, easy to say," turned around and left, this smile seems to be learned from Zhang Yi, you don't want to see my expression after laughing.Because as soon as he turned around, he just sneered: "The Lantern Festival connived at the robbers to slander the mentor, and this hasn't settled yet. You know the hidden rules. The rules are set by the young master. If you solve Nan Jifeng, you will sneak into you." .

Three days later, the time limit in the recruitment letter had passed, and the county magistrate was not knowing how to reply to the king. It happened that a son from the capital was robbed by robbers. Come to Wanqiu by boating on the West River at night on the Longhu Lake. The boats are decorated with lanterns and colorful lights, singing poems and drinking with beauties on the prow, and having fun.There is also Geisha Lake Zhongzhou playing and singing,

They are not at ease, but this young master is a bit weak and drunk, when he woke up, the good people said that they came up to join the robbers, and the gift box containing gold and silver in the stern was robbed gone. [

The young master reported the case to Chenzhou, Wang Pangwen heard the county government and saw that the young master was actually his "friend" Yue Li.Now Wang Pang is angry, magistrate Chang, what do you think about this matter.

The magistrate of Chang County ordered a hundred soldiers to encircle and suppress the robbers in Longhu. Wang Pang heard this and cupped his hands and said, "This time I want to watch the battle in person."

Wang Pang is here, can the magistrate Chang not come?The magistrate of Chang County ordered the invasion of Longhu Villa.Wang Pang said: "Wait a minute, order the soldiers to shout: Jiaozhi is coming, and anyone who is willing to return to his hometown to fight against Jiaozhi will be paid travel expenses."

Why did Wang Pang shout, because Yue Li lost a piece of "Di Bao" with the content: Jiaozhi dispatched troops to Silang, Su Mao'an Dezhou, this is not the real Di Bao, this is Wang Pang's plan

The soldiers stretched their necks and lined up on the lake, and shouted in unison into the reeds: "The cochin offender Ande, return to the hometown to get the toll!" The voice of the shout echoed on the wide lake.He shouted more than ten times in a row, but there was no movement from Wei Cong Chong.

The county magistrate stood behind Wang Pang and curled his lips in disdain, and Wang Pang was not in a hurry when he stared at the movement of the reed.Said: "Keep shouting!"

After shouting more than a dozen times, Wang Pang waved his hand to stop, and there seemed to be rustling in the reeds.But the officers and soldiers stopped and stopped.

Wang Pang said: "Continue!" His mentality was a little low, as long as there was movement in the reeds, then he would not shout in vain.

The soldiers drummed their voices, beat the beat, and continued to shout, this time with a louder voice and a longer echo

Reed poked out one or two heads from it to observe the king and the others, and the king ordered to stop again.He said loudly to Lu Weizhong: "When you were away from home for a long time, you were originally heroes against Cochin. Now Cochin is attacking you. Go back and protect your family."

After finishing speaking, let the officers and soldiers withdraw to make way for a waterway.After a while, I saw a small boat coming out of the reeds, and the people on it looked terrified.Wang Pang turned to look at the county magistrate, and said, "20 guan for each!" The county magistrate didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly took out the silver taels that Wang Pang had prepared in advance.

The boat passed by, and the silver was thrown onto the boat where the robbers were.Those on the boat who ate the crabs first took the silver taels, waved their hands towards the reeds, and punted away.

Then three or four boats came out of the reeds, each with three or four people on board.The king let them go one by one.Watching their figures disappear into the vast expanse, the soldiers who followed looked at each other, and some secretly raised their thumbs.

Wang Pang knew that most of the soldiers who had not left Longhu Villa before that were soldiers from Guangyuan, Silang, and Andezhou who rebelled against Nong Zhigao. After being defeated and following Nan Jifeng for so long, the future was bleak, but he couldn't bear to throw them away. Go down to Nan Jifeng.

Now that my hometown is in trouble, everyone's hearts are fluctuating. Seeing that they are paying travel expenses without beheading, they simply took the silver taels and went home to find their family members in the war.

Wang Pang asked the county magistrate who stood beside him and said: How many people have been sent out.The county magistrate hurriedly replied: 16 people were sent.

Wang Pang secretly counted in his heart, basically according to the number of robbers he had inquired about before, he turned his head and asked the soldiers, "Are you confident to capture Nan Jifeng alive with me now?"

The soldiers had gained a lot from encircling and suppressing the robbers a few times before, and they were naturally happy when they saw that they had disintegrated the robbers without a single soldier this time. The soldiers didn't want to win the battle, so they shouted: "Capture Nan Jifeng alive!"

The voices of this group were full of excitement and passion, as if wishing that the king would order to rush into the reeds immediately.Wang Pang was very happy. Today, Nan Jifeng must be captured alive, and he first comforted his teacher Di Qing.

When everyone saw him, they waved their hands and raised their arms, as if commanding a thousand troops, and took the lead in shouting loudly, "Listen, those inside, whoever captures Nan Jifeng alive will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver."

Seeing this, the soldiers yelled as before: "Whoever captures Nan Jifeng alive will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver."

After shouting more than ten or twenty times, the king saw the reeds swaying wildly, and a boat was pulled out from the reeds. There were people in the boat with sharp mouths and monkey cheeks in their thirties, and a man in his twenties was tied up. He was lying on the bow of the boat. [

Nan Jifeng was lying tied up on the boat.The man with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks was Wa Fan. Wa Fan had long wanted to be recruited, but Nan Jifeng refused.

Wang Pang had already remembered the picture of Nan Jifeng's painting in his heart. When he saw Nan Jifeng being tied up on the boat, and then looked up to see Wa Fan, he couldn't help feeling angry. The person who slandered Di Qing at the Lantern Festival.

He Libo also jumped onto the boat at this time, picked up Nan Jifeng and turned back to the ranks of officers and soldiers.

Wa Fan was taken aback when he saw Wang Pang, isn't this the boy in white at the Lantern Festival?The young man in front of him glared at Wa Fan, his brows stood upright, before Wa Fan could figure it out, Wang Pang lifted his robe, stretched out his sword and jumped onto Wa Fan's bow,

Wang Pang has been holding back his anger for more than a day and a half. He has been holding back his anger since Di Qing was framed, and then he was severely injured in Zhoukou County. In the end, he didn't even catch the murderer himself. After returning to Kaifeng, Di Qing let him go The old disease of government collusion has recurred.After holding back so much anger, I finally saw someone who could be killed, so I had to let it out first no matter what.

In terms of martial arts, Nan Jifeng was no match for Wa Fan at all. Wa Fan must have been on the battlefield for a long time. Seeing that the king's side was unkind, he wanted to take his own life. Pounce like a king.
