Poyang County is very lively with people coming and going.
The situation in Nanchang County ahead is tense and tense, but Poyang County has not been affected and is still prosperous. Twenty feet southwest of the county capital, there is a house. The house has been abandoned all year round and has been uninhabited. In recent days, more than ten people have suddenly moved in.
A burly man, dozens more people moved in one after another.
Although there were a large number of people, it did not attract the attention of others.
In the hall, sitting directly above was a burly man.
This man is sitting with a golden sword and a horse, wearing a black robe, with a rough face, fierce aura, eyes like daggers, and a faint murderous aura on his body. It is easy to tell that he is a man who stepped on countless withered bones on the battlefield.
.
He was none other than Zhou Tai, who was fighting for Poyang County on Jia Xu's orders.
Although Zhou Tai was tall and thick-set, he had a very flexible mind and was thoughtful. He knew that he was not good at planning, so when he left the army camp, he found Jiang Qin, the number three figure in the navy, to help him make plans. With Jiang Qin, he
With assistance, Zhou Tai was obviously more relaxed and did not need to consider Gongxian Poyang's strategy.
Jiang Qin sat first in the left column, squinting his eyes slightly and closing his eyes to rest.
"Boom! Boom!!"
The sound of footsteps came from outside the hall, and a soldier in black walked in.
Zhou Tai said impatiently: "Jiang Qin, you are so secretive and don't tell me how to take Poyang County. Now that people are here, please tell me what's going on."
Jiang Qin smiled and said: "Don't be impatient. Wait until you know the situation clearly before deciding what to do."
He suppressed his smile and asked, "I want you to inquire about the deeds of the Poyang County magistrate. Tell me what happened."
The soldier replied respectfully: "Reporting to the general, the magistrate of Poyang County is named Zhou Shi. He was a corrupt official, but in general he was a man who made decisions for the people. His rule was peaceful and prosperous.
There is one thing about Zhou Shi that no one knows, that is, he is henpecked and does not have any concubines."
Jiang Qin blinked and asked, "What's going on with henpecking? How's the relationship between the two of you?"
Zhou Tai frowned and said, "Jiang Qin, why do you let the soldiers inquire about these trivial things happening in the streets? You sound uninterested."
Jiang Qin smiled and asked: "Old Zhou, do you want to take Poyang County?"
Zhou Tai puffed up his chest, held his head high, and said without hesitation: "You are talking nonsense. I have dreamed of taking over Poyang County. This is a task given by the military advisor and must be completed. And not only we have tasks, but also Zhang Renhe
Pang De also sent troops. This is a comparison. We cannot lose to the other two. Tell me, can I not be anxious?"
Jiang Qin said: "Since you are in a hurry, just shut up and don't interrupt."
Zhou Tai glared at Jiang Qin and stopped talking.
When the two of them were arguing loudly, the soldier below lowered his head and said nothing and did not interrupt. Despite the fierce quarrel between Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai, the relationship between the two was as close as brothers.
Jiang Qin waved his hand and said, "Continue talking and be as careful as possible."
The soldier said: "Before Zhou Shi became the magistrate of Poyang County, he was a poor Confucian scholar. However, Zhou Shi's wife Gu was a lady of the family, a pampered rich lady. When Zhou Shi had a bottle of wine, Mrs. Gu
He took care of Zhou Shi without any regrets, and often encouraged Zhou Shi to cheer up. The two of them respected each other as guests and had a very good relationship. Even when Zhou Shi became the county magistrate, they did not change their minds. There are rumors that Zhou Shi is henpecked, but it is better to say that Zhou Shi respects him.
Mr. Gu is unwilling to take a concubine."
Zhou Tai shouted: "You can't tell, Zhou Shi has a conscience, yes, yes, he is a good person!"
Jiang Qin asked: "Zhou Tai, do you want to take Poyang County?"
Zhou Tai snorted and stared at Jiang Qin fiercely without replying.
Jiang Qin smiled faintly, not angry, and said with a smile: "Zhou Tai, if you want to take down Zhou Shi, you have to start with the Gu family. As long as you kidnap the Gu family, you can control Zhou Shi. At that time, we will use coercion and inducement.
, while seducing Zhou Shi, and at the same time encouraging Gu to persuade Zhou Shi, it might be possible to achieve the goal of taking Poyang without bloodshed."
Zhou Tai raised his eyebrows and said with a big smile: "Jiang Qin, you are so bad, you won't be able to give birth to a son in the future."
Jiang Qin said angrily: "Okay, pretend I didn't say anything."
"Don't, don't, don't!"
Zhou Tai waved his hands repeatedly and said with a smile: "I haven't finished what I said. I like your strategy. As long as you capture Poyang Lake, it doesn't matter whether it is bad or not. Only when you have made a contribution will it be real."
Jiang Qin ignored Zhou Tai and ordered: "Send an order to have people keep an eye on the county government. Wait for Zhou Shi's wife to leave the county government and immediately find out the specific itinerary. No matter what means are used, I only want the result."
"promise!"
The soldier answered with clasped fists, turned around and left the hall.
Zhou Tai stood up, walked up to Jiang Qin with a smile, stretched out his big hand like a cattail leaf fan and patted Jiang Qin's shoulder, and said, "I knew I was right to find you. Hey, we must be the first one now."
Once the mission is completed, the news will reach the ears of the military advisor, and our navy will be in great glory."
Jiang Qin grinned and said, "Zhou Tai, please look forward to Mrs. Gu going out early! If Mrs. Gu goes out in a month, I don't know who will be the first to send back the good news."
Zhou Tai's face changed, and he muttered, "Humph, your boy must have a son without a butt-hole."
He murmured to himself, turned around and walked towards the backyard.
Next, there was no news from Mrs. Zhou Shi for three consecutive days. The only good thing was that she had bribed the maids and attendants in the county government, so that she could inquire about the Gu family at any time. This was not a big comfort.
Zhou Tai became more and more impatient and almost collapsed.
In the backyard, Zhou Tai shouted loudly: "Jiang Qin, you crow's mouth, if Zhou Shi's wife really doesn't go out for a month, I will chop you with a knife."
Jiang Qin's ears twitched and he said with a smile: "You want to kill me, but you have no chance."
The sound of footsteps came from outside the courtyard, and a soldier hurried in and said happily: "Captain Zhou, there is news from the county government that Zhou Shi's wife is happy and she is going to burn incense in a temple outside the city."
"Mom, it's finally here."
Zhou Tai was the deputy governor of the navy, and was called governor Zhou by his subordinates. He felt very happy and excited. He also heard from the soldiers that the Gu family was about to leave the county, and he was even more happy.
He thought for a moment and then ordered in a deep voice: "Zhou Shi's wife is pregnant. If you follow me, you can shout and don't do anything. If someone gets too frivolous and hurts Zhou Shi's wife,
, causing Zhou Shi to resent us and not cooperate with us, so I chopped him up alive. Pass the news on and let everyone know."
"promise!"
The soldier answered with clasped fists and left happily.
Jiang Qin smiled and joked: "Zhou Tai, can't I see that you are very careful."
Zhou Tai snorted and said: "It is a major matter to capture Poyang County, how can I be careless? Jiang Qin, go outside the city immediately, go to the place where the army is hiding, recruit 300 soldiers, and follow us.
This time when we rob the Gu family, we will act like bandits robbing them. Only in this way will Zhou Shi leave the city obediently."
Jiang Qin nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do it right away."
"Let's go!"
Zhou Tai left with Jiang Qin and prepared to leave the city. Since Gu was offering incense outside the city to fulfill his vow, he could do it in a secluded place to avoid being known.
…
At the city gate, a carriage drove slowly out.
This carriage was very spacious. Inside the carriage sat a pretty young woman and two maids. The young woman was Zhou Shi's wife. From time to time, she stretched out her hand to touch her lower abdomen, which was not bulging, and her face was full of joy.
With the brilliance of motherhood, she looked divine and loving. When the maid next to her saw this, she was also very happy.
Behind the carriage, someone followed quietly.
The driver and the people in the carriage did not know this.
