Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 76 Zhang Ao Returns to the Mountain
Shen Zheng smiled, pointed at Chen Dahu and said, "This stupid boy is always so reckless. Nephew, guess what he came to see you for?"

Li Jing shook his head with a smile and said, "I'm not a god, how could I guess it?"

"Hehe, there will be a happy event on the mountain." Shen Zheng said with a smile.

Li Jing was taken aback for a moment, and then he understood: "You mean Dumb is going to get married?"

Shen Zheng nodded and said: "There was a heavy snow two days ago, and the fortifications in the valley of Wanbai Mountain were at a standstill. Then I heard that Xu's family was destroyed. Yesterday, Old Chen told me that he wanted to take this opportunity to marry Dahu. I It is estimated that Lao Chen is going to discuss with you about giving Duo a fake."

Li Jing said happily: "This is really a happy event! This is our first happy event in Hongshanling. If you give a fake, you must give a fake."

"How about? Let's make a big deal?" Shen Zheng smiled.

"Hahaha, then you will have to spend a lot of money. I don't have a big character." Li Jing laughed.

Shen Zheng pointed at Li Jing and shook his head with a smile: "You! You are too miserable as a big boss, right? All right! I will handle this matter. En... Today is Xiaonian, and there are still seven days left During the Chinese New Year, there is enough time, why don't we arrange the marriage before the year?"

"You and Uncle Chen should discuss this matter, I don't understand." Li Jing said with a smile.

While speaking, Chen Dahu ran up to him, first said hello to Shen Zheng, then hesitated for a while before saying: "Brother, my father wants to discuss something with you."

Li Jing looked at Chen Dahu with a smile and said, "I'm in a hurry to be the groom's official. Hahaha, let's go."

Back at the residence, seeing old man Chen, he really said that he wanted to marry Chen Dahu.

Shen Zheng and Li Jing looked at each other and said with a smile: "Old Chen, I discussed it with my nephew, and I think it's too late, and I think it's too early to arrange Dahu's marriage. How about you and your in-laws?" Shall we discuss it?"

"In addition, it's better to bring the in-laws and their family up the mountain. After all, we are known as thieves. Once the government knows the relationship between the in-laws and us, it is inevitable that they will not attack the in-laws." Li Jing continued.

Old man Chen nodded with a smile.

"Hey, brother is interesting!" Chen Dahu said with a big grin.

Looking at the sky, Li Jing estimated the itinerary, and then said with a smile: "Uncle, how about it, you go down the mountain now, don't bring too many people, and don't delay too long, so as not to alarm the government." Li Jing said.

"The old man knows." Old man Chen nodded.

"Dahu, uncle is injured, you have to take good care of him on the way." Li Jing turned to Chen Dahu and said seriously.

"En, I know." Chen Dahu nodded hastily.

"After you left, we started to arrange the marriage. Uncle Chen has to take care of it. Hehe, Dahu, you and your daughter-in-law should pay Uncle Shen a few more drinks on the wedding day." Li Jing said with a smile.

"Success! I will ask my wife to kowtow to Uncle Shen a few more times." Chen Dahu said happily.

"Hehe, then I'll go back and prepare." Old man Chen stood up with a smile and said.

Li Jing and Shen Zheng got up and saw each other off.

Chen Laohan and Chen Dahu brought more than a dozen brothers down the mountain, and Shen Zheng immediately started arranging the marriage.

This was the first happy event for Li Jing and others after they came to Hongshanling. All the bandits in the whole mountain were in motion for a while, and the whole mountain was decorated with lanterns. People who didn't know the truth thought that Hongshanling was celebrating the new year early.

The gangsters were busy, and Li Jing couldn't intervene, so he looked around and went back to the study.

After thinking for a while, there were still a few things that needed to be dealt with immediately, and immediately called a bandit who was in charge of contacting Sun Meng, and ordered him to send a letter to Sun Meng immediately. Bring Zhang Ao up the mountain.

He also called a bandit in charge of delivering news to Ma Wu, and ordered him to inform Ma Wu to take Ma Shouye and Qing He back to the mountain.

The officers and soldiers who besieged Hongshanling retreated, and it was time to reward Qing He and Ma Shouye for their merits.

Although Ma Shouye made a mistake this time, there were some mistakes. He actually heard a major news through Qinghe, which can be regarded as making up for his mistakes, and it can even be said that his contributions far outweigh his mistakes.

But revealing one's identity without authorization is not a trivial matter, and the punishment should still be punished.Otherwise, it is hard to say whether these people can save their lives, let alone inquiring for news in the future. You must know that luck is not always available.

Li Jing knew that Ma Wu had beaten Ma Shouye severely, but for these people, beatings were not enough to make them understand their mistakes, they had to understand the stakes.

Therefore, although Ma Shouye's merits outweighed his demerits, Li Jing did not plan to reward him greatly. What he wanted to reward was Qing He.

Because of Qinghe's affection for Ma Shouye, after accidentally hearing the news that the officers and soldiers were going to be unfavorable to Hongshanling, he even found out the detailed information by means, which can be regarded as natural spy material.

Naturally, Li Jing would not miss such a person.

Qing He is a woman and a prostitute, so she must be treated in a way that can impress her.

Since she wants to be a good man, then redeem her body. Doesn't he like Ma Shouye?Then marry her to Ma Shouye.

Considering that Qing He might feel that her status is humble, Li Jing even wanted Shen Zheng to accept her as his goddaughter.

Wouldn't Shen Ying be unhappy if she just let a woman like Qing He be a godsister to Shen Ying?Li Jing hesitated for a moment.

Shaking his head, Li Jing picked up a stack of papers from the desk and read them carefully.

That was the cottage development plan he had conceived these days, and it had been rewritten by Shen Ying.

. .

The 25th day of the twelfth lunar month in the sixth year of the Apocalypse.

Sun Meng returned to Hongshanling with more than a dozen of his cronies, and Zhang Ao also returned with Sun Meng.

"Hahaha, big brother, you have arranged a good job for me." Sun Meng laughed loudly after cupping his fists in salute.

Li Jing smiled and punched Sun Meng's chest, "Why? Is it fun to be a thousand households?"

"Being a broken thousand household has a lot of meaning! I'm talking about the kid you asked me to find." Sun Meng pointed at Zhang Ao and smiled.

Li Jing looked at Zhang Ao suspiciously, feeling a little confused for a while.

Zhang Ao stepped forward and knelt down on the ground: "I pay my respects to benefactor."

Li Jing pulled Zhang Ao up with a smile, looked him up and down, nodded and said, "You're in good spirits, haven't you had much drink these two days?"

Zhang Ao smiled embarrassedly and said, "I drank a little, but I didn't dare to drink more, because I was afraid that I might miss what Engong told me."

Li Jingjing nodded and said, "I'm very happy that you can pay attention to restraint. It seems that I saw the right person."

"Meng Engong values ​​it. If Zhang Ao doesn't even have this little self-control, is he still human? Engong, this is your cloak." Zhang Ao said as he untied the burden on his back, and took out the one that Li Jing gave him the day before yesterday. cloak.

"Huh? Why didn't you pawn it? Hehe, I didn't bring any money with me that day, and I didn't have any valuables with me, so I gave you this cloak. I didn't expect you to bring it back. Forget it, I will give it to you." Already!" Li Jing laughed.

Zhang Ao shook his head, and said with a bit of embarrassment: "I actually pawned this cloak, but when Master Sun sent someone to look for me later, I asked them to redeem it with money."

Sun Meng's eyes widened: "When we get to the mountain, what should we call you, you can just call me Old Sun."

Li Jing pointed at Sun Meng with a smile, and said to Zhang Ao: "Don't pay attention to this guy, he only has this kind of virtue. But he is older than you, so you can call him Big Brother Sun."

Zhang Ao hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Li Jing shook his head and smiled, "Why did you redeem this cloak again?"

"There are characters embroidered on the inside of this cloak, how can I leave it to the pawnshop?" Zhang Ao said.

"Embroidered characters? What characters to embroider?" Li Jingqi asked.

Zhang Ao unfolded the cloak lightly, opened the lining inside, pointed to a place and said, "Please take a look, benefactor."

Li Jing took it and took a closer look, only to see that the word Ying was embroidered on it.

Li Jing was taken aback, only then did he realize that the cloak that Shen Zheng gave him a month ago was actually made by Shen Ying.

Li Jing stroked the cloak lightly, was silent for a while, and then put it on his body.

Knowing that the cloak was given to him by Shen Ying, naturally he couldn't give it away.

After a while, Li Jing pointed to the dozen or so officers and soldiers led by Sun Meng and said, "You guys probably miss your wives, so hurry home!"

"Thank you, Master." The dozen or so officers and soldiers said happily.

Seeing these people leaving in a hurry, Li Jing smiled and shook his head and said to Sun Meng: "Don't go back, I will clean up the dust for you and Zhang Ao tonight, maybe Fifth Brother can come back today, and then we will have a good drink." A glass."

"Hehe, I wanted to have a good drink last time, I didn't want to be defeated by the officers and soldiers, so I have to have a good drink today." Sun Meng laughed.

"Okay! Come in and sit down, and tell me what's going on in Lin County these days." Li Jingjing nodded and smiled.

After speaking, Li Jing took the lead and brought Sun Meng and Zhang Ao to his residence.

When they arrived at the study, Li Jing pointed to the chairs and smiled at Sun Meng and Zhang Ao: "Sit whatever you want, pour water for yourself, I don't have anyone here to wait for you."

Sun Meng was not polite, and sat directly opposite Li Jing, picked up the teapot and poured two cups of tea, first handed Li Jing one cup, the second cup to Zhang Ao, and then poured himself another cup.

After taking a sip of water, Sun Meng smiled and said, "There is a lot of commotion in Lin County, and it's all because of this kid. Brother, you can ask him."

Zhang Ao smiled awkwardly and said, "It's just spreading rumors, and Lord Qianhu laughed."

Sun Meng stared, dissatisfied: "Why are you still called an adult?"

Li Jing waved his hand and said, "Old Sun, how did Brother Zhang come here for the first time, don't scare him."

Sun Meng glanced at Li Jing, then lowered his voice and said to Zhang Ao, "Brother Zhang, old grandson is straight-tempered and aggressive, so don't take offense. But don't call me an adult when you get to the mountain. There is only one adult in Hongshanling, and that is Brother Li Jing, our master, do you understand?"

Zhang Ao nodded hastily, knowing that Sun Meng was trying to wake him up, to remember who is the master on this mountain.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Ao suddenly walked up to Li Jing and knelt down, kowtowed three times, and said, "Brother Zhang Ao, see the head of the family."

Li Jingjing nodded, knowing that Zhang Ao had officially joined the team by doing so.

Smiling, Li Jing stretched out his hand to help Zhang Ao up: "Don't bow down in the future, my brothers don't need to do this! Sit down."
