Lord: Start with a copy of Water Margin

But this Zhaojia Village, since the founding of the country by Taizu, has been established in Mengyin.

The father died and the son succeeded, and the generations led the households in Zhaojia Village. Because of the fog, most of the county officials were mediocre people, and they did not disturb them when they saw that they could not get any benefits. Zhaojia Village became very famous, and many farmers who could not survive came to surrender. There were more than 3,000 households in one village, and a two-meter-high wall was built.

In this generation, the head of Zhaojia Village was called Zhao Xin, who used a 49-jin gilded borer and had the courage of ten thousand men.

Zhao Xin also had four capable men under him, a Taoist priest, hired as a secretary, named Shi Gugong, a caravan manager Shen Boer, and two militias Hua Diao and Jin Zhuang, who also had martial arts and trained the village men on a daily basis.

Besides, his wife Liang was more skilled in martial arts than Zhao Xin. Because his original surname was Gao, the double surname Gao Liang.

Born with a face as white as a mirror, people call him [Mirror Gaoliang]. He likes to wear flower branches, also known as [Pile of Flowers]. Gaoliang is strong and does not use long spears or halberds, but wears sixteen flying knives.

There are four maids around Gaoliang: Osmanthus, Mint, Buddha's Hand, and Rose. They are also good at martial arts, but they are soft-hearted and graceful, and they never fight.

The group of people treat Zhaojia Village like an iron barrel, and outsiders dare not provoke them easily.

After Wu Song captured Mengyin County, he sent officials to lead the soldiers to collect autumn taxes in various villages and squares according to Zhao Zhen's request.

There was a bailiff among them. His son had a conflict with the people of Zhaojia Village because of doing business. He was hit on the head by Shen Bo'er's men and died, so he always kept it in mind.

When Song Jiang captured Mengyin, this person instigated the leaders guarding the county to go to Zhaojia Village to collect autumn wind. However, this leader was a coward and only guarded the city, so the bailiff's plan to kill someone with a borrowed knife failed.

When Wu Song broke into the city, he was still employed because he had not been identified, which led to the following events.

Wu Song asked about it and sent someone to inform Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen saw that he had suffered a loss, so he naturally refused to give up. He called Wu Yong, Qiao Daoqing, and Liu Hui Niang to discuss sending troops to annihilate Zhaojia Village.

Wu Yong heard this and said, "Sir, this Zhaojia Village has always been rude. It has 3,000 militiamen and a strong city. I'm afraid we can't win this battle easily. There are people doing bad things here. No matter what, this petty official can't be let off. If everyone follows suit in the future, it will be terrible."

"This Zhao Xin claims to be a hero. There are only 3,000 households in the village. I'd like to go there in person and persuade Zhao Xin to apologize. Avoid using weapons and increasing casualties."

Qiao Daoqing heard this and laughed, "How can the military advisor move lightly? How about I go there for the military advisor? Since he claims to be a hero, he will not make things difficult for you."

Zhao Zhen thought of Qiao Daoqing's personality and thought he was just right to go there.

So Zhao Zhen said: "Although I don't want to cause trouble, I can't ignore it. The Taoist priest will act according to circumstances and don't force it. If he apologizes, it's fine. If not, the truth will be revealed on the battlefield."

Qiao Daoqing said: "Don't worry, big official, I will do it."

After that, Qiao Daoqing said goodbye to Zhao Zhen, dressed up, rode on his horse and took the road to Zhaojia Village.

Not to mention Zhao Zhen mobilized troops and horses to prepare for fighting.

Qiao Daoqing rested in Mengyin County for one night. The next day, after lunch, Qiao Daoqing dressed up again. He wore a fish-tail Taoist crown inlaid with purple gold and gems, a black-rimmed brocade crane cloak, a colorful silk belt around his waist, and cloud-shaped square red shoes. He carried an ancient iron sword and rode a snowflake silver horse. He shook the copper bell in his hand, rode the horse slowly to Zhaojia Village.

But in Zhaojia Village, Zhao Xin heard about the officers, soldiers and officials who came to collect taxes, but they didn't take it seriously. Still practicing martial arts and country bravery on the school grounds.

Secretary Shi Gugong was the most attentive. After hearing this, he came to look for Zhao Xin. Shi Gugong said: "My boss, the officers and soldiers came to collect the autumn tax two days ago. I'm afraid there will be trouble later."

Zhao Xin said: "Sir, don't worry about it. When did the village pay the autumn tax to the county? A few officials were beaten no matter what. I also listened to Song Jiang's group and occupied the state capital. , Mengyin County is full of useless people, if you come to Zhaojia Village, you will have to do something."

Shi Gugong shook his head and said: "My boss, I asked the patrolling Xiangyong. It is not Song Jiang's group who came. Mengyin County is now occupied by Liangshan Zhao Zhen. Most of the people beaten are Liangshan soldiers."

Gao Liang heard this and frowned: "I have heard Shen Bo'er talk about this man many times. He has a great reputation in the world. He has many good men under his command. Now that we have a grudge, I'm afraid it's not good."

Just as he was talking, a villager quickly walked into the school grounds, ran to Zhao Xin and said: "Master, a Taoist priest has come to the village. His appearance is very ordinary. Now he is showing off in the village. Listen to his words. He knows astronomy and astronomy. He knows geography. He can calculate fortunes and misfortunes in the world, but he only needs one gold. Now there are many children walking around behind him. "

After hearing this, Zhao Xin said: "Sir, let's not worry about Liangshan for now. Let's meet this Taoist for a while."

With that said, Zhao Xin put down the gilded boring machine in his hand, changed his clothes, and walked towards Qiao Daoqing with Shi Gu Gong.

Qiao Daoqing naturally saw Zhao Xin approaching. When the children next to him saw Zhao Xin, they didn't dare to make any mistake, so they all stood aside obediently.

Qiao Daoqing said: "Commissioner, why are you looking for poverty?"

Zhao Xin said: "As a Taoist, aren't you good at pinching and calculating? How come you don't know what I'm here to do?"

Qiao Daoqing said: "Why should the owner of the village make it difficult for Pindao to make a living? As long as one gold is required, he can choose fortune telling, fortune telling, fortune telling, dream fulfillment, and feng shui. If he is not correct, Pindao will return ten times the money."

Zhao Xin has also seen Taoism, and Shi Gugong beside him is well aware of Taiyiren's escape and Youdu's ability to penetrate the earth. Seeing Qiao Daoqing's determination, Zhao Xin took out a tael of gold from his arms and handed it to Qiao Daoqing.

Qian Daoqing did not refuse, put the gold into his arms, and said to Zhao Xin, "Let's test the character randomly." Looking around, there was no paper or pen, so Zhao Xin wrote the character "Liang" on the ground with his feet.

Qiao Daoqing glanced at it, frowned and said to Zhao Xin: "'Liang' water bridge also comes from water and wood, and the sound of chopping. This word is very good, but if it falls on the ground, there will be a disaster of weapons and weapons. Officials should Prepare early?”

Zhao Xin frowned and said, "What do you mean, Taoist Master?"

"Liang Luo is here, shouldn't Liang Shan be here?"

After hearing this, Zhao Xin pretended to be shocked: "Taoist Priest, is there any way to solve this problem?"

Qiao Daoqing said: "The members have already made their own ideas, so why come and ask Pindao?"

Zhao Xin said: "How dare the Taoist master say that there is a disaster caused by swords and weapons here?"

"I heard that there is a gentleman in Zhaojia Village, his name is Shi Gu Gong, and he is also good at divination. Why don't you count him as a divination?" Qiao Daoqing said to Shi Gu Gong, who was standing aside.

Shi Gugong did not raise his hexagram, raised his head and looked around, seeing the trees on the horizon as if they were covered in red gauze curtains.

Shi Gugong pointed to the glowing red sky and said to Zhao Xin: "My boss, look at the horizon. This red light should be the red corpse qi. This qi is responsible for war disasters. Wherever the red corpse qi is shrouded, all life will be devastated. Now this qi It’s still far away, we should reach this place in a few days.”

Zhao Xin's face looked heavy after hearing this.

He raised his hands and said to Qiao Daoqing: "Since the Taoist priest can calculate that there is a military disaster here, I think there is a way to solve it. Please tell me clearly."

"The beam is a bridge on the water, and it has always been convenient for people. If you want to untie it, it depends on the officials themselves."

After that, Qiao Daoqing said goodbye.

Zhao Xinku couldn't keep it, so he took out another ten taels of gold from his arms and thanked Qiao Daoqing.

Qiao Daoqing said: "It only costs one gold to measure the characters and tell the fortune, and I have already paid for it."

After that, he rode on the snowflake silver horse, rang the copper bell, and left Zhaojia Village.

When the two returned to the village, Mrs. Gao Liang saw that Zhao Xin had a worried look on his face and asked, "Master, why do you look like this when you see this Taoist?"

Zhao Xin told what the Taoist said, and Gao Liang was furious: "How dare the Taoist talk nonsense?"

Shi Gugong said: "Madam, I have also looked at Qi, and there are indeed signs of a weapons disaster here."

After hearing this, Gao Liang said: "I just beat a few petty officials and sergeants. For this trivial matter, Liangshan Prefecture will raise troops to conquer us. If the war begins, let alone whether he can deal with the Qingzhou thieves, we will be invincible." , and let him lose three to five thousand troops, isn't it a small gain but a big gain?"

Shi Gugong said: "Madam, this is not how the accounts are settled. The sergeant was humiliated. If he does not regain his position, no one will be willing to work hard in the future. Even if there are more casualties, the sergeant will definitely die after hearing this."

Gao Liang said: "Isn't this battle inevitable?"

Shi Gugong said: "Not necessarily."

Zhao Xin said: "How do you say this?"

Seeing Shi Gugong's hesitation, Gao Liang said impatiently: "Sir, if you have something to say, just say it."

Shi Gugong said: "My boss, now that I think carefully about this Taoist's parting words, I am afraid that this Taoist is from Liangshan."

Seeing both of them looking at him, Shi Gugong continued: "Zhao Zhen has a great reputation in Shandong and Hebei. Everyone knows that. He defeated Song Jiang and occupied Mengyin. Naturally, he had to collect money and food for the army to use. Zhaojiazhuang refused to obey the county management. , The people from Liangshan just came to collect the autumn tax to cause a misunderstanding and took action. "

"Official Zhao must have inquired carefully, and also knows the reputation of the owner and his wife. There are rumors in the world that official Zhao cherishes heroes the most, and he is encircling and suppressing Song Jiang's group. I am afraid he does not want to cause trouble in his heart. But now that the sergeant has been beaten, he is also riding a tiger. . As long as the boss has a step to send it, Zhao Daguan will explain it to the subordinates, and Zhao Daguan will not go into details. "

"'The beam is a bridge over the water, and it has always been convenient for people.' These words must imply that Zhao Daguan did not intend to embarrass Zhaojiacun."

After hearing this, Zhao Xin said: "If it is Song Jiang, even if we are both dead, we will never make peace. It's no good that he is called [Timely Rain]. Since he fell into the grass, he has been recruiting refugees, but he can't restrain his subordinates, and he has taken advantage of him, raped and plundered."

"It's just that we don't recognize people from Liangshan Prefecture, how can we talk about Xiang?"

Gao Liang said: "What's the trouble? Since he came here to collect the autumn tax, he just sent this year's tax and picked two treasures to send."

Zhao Xin said: "It doesn't matter if you have two treasures. If you send us the autumn tax, won't we be exempt from the spring and autumn taxes in the future?"

Gao Liang said with a smile: "Officer, he is the observation envoy of Liangshan Prefecture. He is only here to suppress bandits. How can he be stationed in Yizhou permanently?"

After hearing this, Zhao Xin also smiled and said: "That's true. In this case, without further delay, let's pack up the food and grass, select two treasures, and I will personally send them to the army."

Gao Liang said: "Official, I will go with you. If anything happens, I will take care of you. Besides, I heard that Zhao Daguan of Liangshan married the wife of Hu Sanniang [Yizhangqing], and I also want to get acquainted with her."

Shi Gugong said: "The village is guarded by two regiments, Huadiao and Jinzhuang. I will also go with my boss."

At that moment, Zhao Xin asked Shen Bo'er to prepare provisions. Zhao Xin personally went to the warehouse to select two pieces of gold chain mail and matching phoenix-winged helmets, as well as front and rear breast shields, wrapped them in oil paper and put them in the box.

After Shen Boer loaded the grain and grass, Zhao Xin, Gao Liangshi, and Shi Gugong took 1,000 Xiangyong and escorted more than a hundred carts towards Mengyin County.

For fear of misunderstanding, Shi Gugong personally took a few companions to take the first step and went to Mengyin County to meet Wu Song and explain the situation.

After Wu Song heard this, he sent people to report the news outside Xintai City. After receiving Zhao Zhen's reply, he felt free to let Zhao Xin and his party pass by.

Standing on the top of the city, watching more than a hundred racks of grain and grass pass by, the sergeants behind Wu Song held their heads high and looked proud.

When Zhao Zhen heard that Zhaojia Village was sending food and grass, he said to Qiao Daoqing beside him: "Brother Dao is really talented. He can persuade Zhaojia Village to apologize without spending a single soldier."

Qiao Daoqing said: "It's just relying on the reputation of a high official."
