Starting with Marrying Changle in the Tang Dynasty Chapter 722: Take! Stay!
"What! Are you a little panicked when you hear that the emperor wants to take over your property in Chang'an City? I still advise you to finish the matter in Qizhou and return to Chang'an to see the Holy Spirit. Alas! Your temper will have to change in the future.
That’s right, you don’t need me to teach you the truth about how steel can be easily dismantled. Why can’t such a smart boy think calmly when faced with a problem and find a better way to solve it?”
After making a few jokes to Qin Wenyuan, Wei Zheng changed his tone and sighed and said what was in his heart. Qin Wenyuan knew that the politician of the Tang Dynasty said this because he was concerned about him, so he couldn't help but bow and thank him.
"Qin listened to your heartfelt words and learned a lesson!"
Wei Zheng was very pleased to see Qin Wenyuan like this...
The banquet at the Grand Marshal's Mansion ended happily, and the reception was quite effective. Officials from various states who had just joined the Qin family's camp all spoke highly of the Qin family's father and son and the Licheng military and political officials' sincerity and behavior.
Although I dare not say that these officials will just return to their hearts, at least on the surface they will obey the Qin family's decrees. If they want these officials to completely return to their hearts, they will need to slowly blend in with each other in the future.
During the few days before Wei Zheng returned to Chang'an in Licheng, apart from talking with Xu Changqing about the military and political affairs of the Governor's Office, Wei Zheng stayed with Qin Wenyuan. He wanted to see what this boy was busy with every day.
On this day, Wei Zheng went to Dengzhou with 2,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry led by Qin Wenyuan. Mo Yazi, the second son of the Mohist family, and Li Kuang, the great craftsman of the Qin family, who were accompanying him were very interested.
After arriving at the Yamen of Dengzhou County and meeting the county magistrate Zhuang Degui, Qin Wenyuan conveyed to him the decision of the Governor-General to establish a navy and a military port in Dengzhou. Zhuang Degui was overjoyed when he heard such a big decision, knowing that this place was built like this
As a military port, the status of Naden Prefecture will change from a poor county close to the sea to a wealthy place.
The county magistrate of Yalizhuang explained the difficulties that Dengzhou will face when establishing a military port with a sad face. The main reason is that bandits are rampant in the offshore. Among these bandits at sea, the pirates of Salmen Island are the most vicious. There are thousands of people entangled on the island.
The village built on the mountain was called Shamen Village, and the reputation of the village's advocate Dabao was that even if a child cried at night, as long as he said his evil name, the child would not dare to cry again.
After hearing what County Magistrate Zhuang Degui said, Qin Wenyuan pondered for a while and said.
"It doesn't matter. Magistrate Zhuang only needs to allocate a piece of land in a place suitable for building a military port and recruit migrant workers and fishermen who know how to build ports and large ships. Qin will handle the rest. How many city defense forces does Magistrate Zhuang have under his command now?"
We might as well mobilize them all, and when the military camp is built, those pirates Qin will gradually recruit them into navy soldiers, and all the evil ones will be beheaded as soon as they are found."
Seeing Qin Wenyuan being so calm, Magistrate Zhuang seemed to have gained some confidence and called the county government master to give instructions.
"Mr. Chen, you go here and summon General Lu Mao'er to the county office to pay homage to Mr. Wei and General Qin."
After the master left, Qin Wenyuan, Wei Zheng and others chatted with Magistrate Zhuang in the county office about the folk customs and customs of Dengzhou. From Magistrate Zhuang's words, Qin Wenyuan knew that the people here were in extreme hardship, so he took advantage of this place near the sea.
Dengzhou itself does not produce much food. Fishermen want to go to sea to catch more fish and shrimp in exchange for food and other daily necessities, but they are often robbed by pirates entrenched on various islands. Every fishing village and mountain village all feed corn and cold dishes mixed with salt.
Drinking tea to satisfy hunger, the scene was so desolate that Xu Tian, Wei Zheng and others could be heard sighing.
At this moment, the master came in with a neatly dressed, lean man with a white face. This man had a look of arrogance on his face. Seeing that Magistrate Zhuang was indifferent, he also slightly clasped his fists at Qin Wenyuan and others.
"Lu Mao'er, the captain of Dengzhou City Defense Camp, came to see Shangguan. I wonder what Shangguan ordered when he called Lu?"
Seeing this unfamiliar and unpleasant Dengzhou city defense camp captain Xu Tian could not remember meeting him before. The last time he led the army to capture Dengzhou, he remembered the commander of the city defense camp at that time.
Guan Nai was a tall and handsome man, but how could he be transformed into this arrogant thin man in such a short period of time?
Qin Wenyuan refused to say anything for now, and immediately ordered his bodyguard to summon the leader of the Qin family's army stationed here. He had to ask what was going on before he could make a decision.
After the personal guards were ordered to leave the Yamen and go to the garrison of the Qin family's army, Qin Wenyuan said to Lu Mao'er just now.
"Captain Lu, please take a seat! We will wait until the Dengzhou garrison general arrives..."
Before Qin Wenyuan finished speaking, Lu Mao'er sat down next to Magistrate Zhuang, not paying attention to Wei Zheng and other generals of the Qin army in the Yamen. This caused anger to appear on everyone's faces. If they hadn't seen Qin Wenyuan, they would still be there.
With such a smiling face, I am afraid that this person would have been loudly rebuked and kicked out of the county government office.
After a short while, the personal guards brought in a middle-aged general wearing armor. After seeing Qin Wenyuan, this man knelt down on one knee and shouted loudly.
"The last general Zhou Xing has met the young general!"
Qin Wenyuan said with a smile when he saw the visitor wearing the uniform of a fifth-grade cavalry captain general of the Qin family army.
"General Zhou, there is no need to be polite, just get up and talk!"
Zhou Xing stood up and greeted the others separately, then stood to one side while Qin Wenyuan continued.
"General Zhou sat down to talk. Qin remembers that the original leader of the city defense camp in Dengzhou was not named Lu. Do you have anything to say?"
"Major General, it turns out that the leader of the city defense camp is not Lu Mao'er. However, a few days ago, pirates from Salmen Island attacked Dengzhou. The former leader of the city defense camp was killed by pirates. Therefore, all the troops in the city defense camp elected Lu Mao'er.
As the new leader, this matter has not yet been reported to the Marshal's Mansion. No, the Governor's Mansion knows about it..."
While Qin Wenyuan was talking to Zhou Xing, a woman holding a little girl came outside the Yamen. The mother and daughter knelt outside the Yamen and cried loudly.
"Master, please make the decision for the orphans and widowers of the slave family! My husband was killed by Lu Mao'er in collusion with the gangsters from Salmon Island. Lu Mao'er relied on his family to be a wealthy family in Dengzhou, and the county magistrate did not dare to redress the grievances of the slave family.
, today the slave family learned that the general came to Dengzhou, and asked the general to redress the grievances of the slave family, and the slave family would die in peace!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At this time, many people had gathered outside the county government office, and they were all very sympathetic to the mother and daughter. However, no one dared to step forward to help.
Hearing the shouts of injustice from outside, Xu Tian turned to look at Magistrate Zhuang, but seeing Magistrate Zhuang's eyes flashing, Qin Wenyuan already knew it, so he shouted loudly.
"Invite this woman who is complaining about injustice into the Yamen. Xu will ask her what her grievance is."
When the guards called the mother and daughter into the hall, Qin Wenyuan ordered the middle door to be opened wide to allow the people to watch. He sat on the county magistrate's seat and asked the mother and daughter warmly.
"That woman in the hall can tell you her grievances. If so, Xu will definitely seek justice for you."
"Sir! My family is Lu Zhang, the wife of Lu Jin, the captain of the city defense camp. A few days ago, Lu Mao'er came to my home to report to my husband that there were pirates from Salmen Island infesting the county. I heard Lu Mao'er's report.
Afterwards, he took his young servant Lu San with Lu Mao'er to the city defense camp. In the middle of the night, Lu San was covered in blood and returned home to talk to his concubine. However, it turned out that Lu Mao'er had colluded with the pirates of Salmen Island outside the county.
An ambush was set up at a sheltered place on the seaside, and when Clumsy Man and his soldiers arrived, they fell into the pirate trap. Unfortunately, Clumsy Man and dozens of soldiers from the city defense battalion were killed by the pirates, but Lu San was injured quickly and managed to survive.
The dead soldier's body pressed down on him, and then he saw Lu Mao'er and the bandit leader laughing and chatting together at the beach, and then they realized in their hearts that everyone was betrayed by Lu Mao'er..."
After hearing what Lu Zhang said, Qin Wenyuan roughly knew the cause of the matter, but he still didn't know why Lu Maoer acted like this. Could it be that he wanted to kill Lu Jin and replace him in the official position?
Looking at Lu Mao'er who still didn't take everything in front of him seriously, Qin Wenyuan shouted again.
"Captain Lu, now that Mr. Lu and Zhang are suing you for colluding with Salmon Island gangsters to kill her husband and dozens of soldiers from the city defense camp, don't you have anything to say? Or do you think I am emboldened because I dare not do anything to you?"
"Young general, please don't be misled by this crazy woman's nonsense. That day, Lu Jin refused to listen to a certain family's advice and insisted on pursuing the pirates at night. Since he was killed by the pirates, what does it have to do with Lu? If nothing happened here, Lu Jin
So I took my leave, and the young general will take my time to review the situation."
As he spoke, Lu Mao'er stood up and started to go out, as if these people had nothing to do with him, and he didn't even take the officials seriously.
Qin Wenyuan had never seen such a arrogant person before. He couldn't help laughing angrily, and immediately said loudly to his guards.
"Taking this officer down, I want to see why he is so arrogant!"
After hearing Qin Wenyuan's order, all the personal guards stepped forward to capture Lu Mao'er, but unexpectedly, the man laughed sinisterly and drew his weapon from his waist to stab Xu Tian.
Amidst the exclamations of the guards, Qin Wenyuan picked up the gavel on the table and struck it on the tip of the weapon that was stabbing him.
"bump!"
After the dull sound, Qin Wenyuan's body floated up from the chair, and his palms danced quickly to attack Lu Mao'er. However, when he saw that the fellow did not show weakness, he shook out a few sword flowers from the tip of the sword that changed its trajectory and then attacked Qin Wenyuan.
Qin Wenyuan said softly "Hey!"
He had no idea that this guy's martial arts skills were so strong. No wonder this guy didn't pay attention to the people in the room ever since he entered the county government office. But it turned out that he was somewhat proud of his strong martial arts skills.
After blocking Lu Maoer's sword energy with a few palms, Qin Wenyuan signaled his bodyguards to protect the safety of Wei Zheng and others, and immediately launched the "Qiankun Wuji Hand" and "Ghost Shadow Step" moves in conjunction with the two Taoist Qi in his Dantian, one Yin and one Yang.
Follow the rotation of the beads and penetrate the whole body.
Qin Wenyuan could be seen using his hands and fingers as the tip of Lu Mao'er's sword swayed. The move of grabbing the white blade with bare hands that he learned in the army in his previous life followed the sword's advance or retreat, left or right, and the "ghost steps" under his feet were erratic.
Duan was so quick that the long sword in Lu Mao'er's hand gradually became unable to be used smoothly.
Feeling the alternating breath of cold and hot invading his body along the long sword, Lu Mao'er found it increasingly difficult to make moves. Unexpectedly, this guy was also a ruthless man. At the risk of being hit by Qin Wenyuan's palm, Lu Mao'er's chest opened wide.
, holding the sword in both hands, he jumped up, and like an eagle fighting again, he used a powerful move to hit Qin Wenyuan on the head, trying to kill Qin Wenyuan in one fell swoop.
Qin Wenyuan showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth. He used the "dependence" formula in Tai Chi and rushed to the empty door in front of Lu Mao'er. He also jumped up and bullied this guy, and quickly slapped his chest and abdomen with one palm.
Suddenly, the other hand raised two fingers and pointed at the Jiquan point in the armpit of this man's arm.
After the muffled sound of the palm touching the flesh and the crisp sound of the long sword falling to the ground, Lu Mao'er was already exhausted and trembling on the ground. The ice energy from Xu Tian's palm was already chaotic in Lu Mao'er's meridians.
It was squirming, tearing apart his eight extraordinary meridians, and the acupuncture points in his armpits made him unstoppably hot.
A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I’ve known for ten years! It’s so easy to use. I use it to read and listen to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here]
Seeing that Lu Mao'er had no strength to fight back, Qin Wenyuan clapped his hands and sat back down and shouted loudly to his guards.
"Tied!"
The personal guards tied Lu Mao'er in front of the hall. At this time, the man's face was pale and his head was drooped and he was silent.
"Tell me about it! Who gave you the courage to use force against me in the county government office?"
"Qin Wenyuan, please don't be so arrogant. I and other Buddhist disciples swear to fight you until death. It's a pity that I controlled the city defense camp for too short a time, otherwise this Dengzhou will be your burial place."
"Buddhist disciple? Which temple are you from? How could you be a disciple of that monk and sneak into the city defense camp to collude with pirates? At this time, if you really call me, I will give you a whole body, otherwise I will chop it up and throw it into the sea to feed the fish.
.”
Seeing Lu Maoer's unshaved appearance, Qin Wenyuan asked in confusion, but he didn't know that he had long been designated as a must-kill figure by Buddhism. After the Jinsheng Temple in Chang'an City was burned down, Master Shande gathered a group of Buddhist monks to secretly
The Buddhist monk who did not know the cause of the incident passed down the Buddhist decree that if Qin Wenyuan is found, he will try to kill him.
After the guards tortured Lu Mao'er and interrogated him, Qin Wenyuan finally found out that Lu Mao'er was originally a lay disciple of Jinsheng Temple. He was originally a child of a wealthy family in Dengzhou. He liked to dance with guns and sticks since he was a child, so his family members followed him.
In response to his wishes, he invited an old monk who went down to practice to teach him boxing and swordsmanship. Because this guy was quite talented, the monk loved him very much and passed on his profound Buddhist inner skills and mental skills.
This guy has become more and more skilled in martial arts after practicing Buddhism's internal skills and mental methods. He is rarely invincible in Dengzhou. Over time, he has developed an arrogant character like the boss of the sky and the second child. He will use some despicable methods to anyone who disagrees with him.
Eliminate dissidents.
Lu Jin of the city defense camp was the eldest brother of his clan. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he joined the city defense camp and served as a small leader. He misbehaved with his brothers all day long, causing the people in Dengzhou to be angry with him and dare not speak out. Every time Lu Jin
Jin persuaded him to restrain himself a little, but the guy ignored him and over time he began to harbor a grudge against the eldest brother of the clan.
In a battle with the pirates of Salmen Island, Lu Maoer and his men accidentally fell into the hands of the pirates. In order to survive, they agreed to serve as the pirates' internal agents in the defense camp of Dengzhou City. Qin Wenyuan led his army to capture it a few days ago.
When they were in Dengzhou, Lu Maoer knew that Qin Wenyuan was a man who had to be killed according to the Buddhist tradition, so he discussed with Lu Jin to secretly poison Qin Wenyuan when the Qin army had just taken Dengzhou and was slightly relaxed. Lu Jin refused and severely rebuked him for not knowing whether to live or die.
It would bring disaster to the brothers, so Lu Jin was so timid that he became cruel and cruel, thinking that he would find a way to deal with Qin Wenyuan after he took control of the city defense army.
After Qin Wenyuan led his army to leave Dengzhou, and some of the remaining garrison troops were busy rearranging the city defense of Dengzhou, Lu Maoer sent a message to the pirate leader outside Salmen Island, and the two sides agreed to ambush Lu Jin outside Dengzhou City.
