Chapter 3 Underestimating the shamelessness of the ancients

When the man in bright light armor saw Wang Junlin, his eyes lit up and he secretly praised in his heart, "What a burly man."

Compared with most people of this era, Wang Junlin has a very obvious physical advantage. In addition, he has undergone extremely hard training. His muscles are not ostentatious, and he gives people a very well-proportioned and powerful feeling.

"There are still blood stains on this leopard skin. Did you hunt the leopard?" Although this man secretly praised Wang Junlin's figure, his expression and behavior were very arrogant.

Wang Junlin was quite disgusted with this man's arrogance, but with a calm expression on his face, he cupped his fists and saluted, and said, "This leopard was hunted by me."

The admiration in the man's eyes became stronger and he said: "This general is General Han Ziliang of Yingyang Lang of Tianshui County Chariot and Cavalry Mansion. I want to accept you as a personal soldier. Are you willing?"

Wang Junlin was stunned when he heard this, hesitated a little, and said: "Thank you for your favor, general. I don't want to join the army yet."

Han Ziliang's face suddenly darkened, but he was from a noble family and had just arrived in Tianshui County to take office, so he would not do anything to force others to do anything in public.

With a cold snort, Han Ziliang turned around and left, followed closely by the scribe and a group of cavalry.

Wang Junlin watched Han Ziliang and his entourage enter a restaurant a hundred steps away, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Just kidding, who is this Han Ziliang? What's the details? He has no idea. How could he have sold himself out in a daze unless he had no choice but to do so.

"I want to sell this leopard skin for 300 yuan. If anyone is willing, I can trade it on the spot." After what happened just now, Wang Junlin suddenly realized that today's act of carrying a leopard skin and selling it on the street was a bit eye-catching, and he might cause trouble.

Trouble, he doesn't want to stay here any longer, he just wants to sell the leopard skin as soon as possible and leave quickly.

However, at this moment, someone outside the crowd shouted: "This leopard skin is a rare thing, I bought it!"

As soon as this sound came out, the street suddenly became quiet, and many people's expressions changed, and they backed away as if avoiding snakes and scorpions.

I saw seven people walking swaggering outside the crowd. The leader was a young man in brocade robes, and the other six were all wearing black protective uniforms. This young man was none other than Zhang Hongmeng, who raped a girl in Shetang Village yesterday.

Everyone was obviously extremely afraid of Zhang Hongmeng and others, so they all backed away, not daring to fight for the leopard skin. Chen Xiaoliu turned pale with fright, and Wang Junlin also cursed secretly, thinking that he was unlucky to meet this scum today.

Although the Zhang family is nothing in Tianshui County, it is a tyrant in Qingshui County. In Maiji Town, it is like a local emperor. Zhang Hongmeng has always bullied men and women, preyed on the people, took advantage of others, and had a notorious reputation.

The common people in Maiji Town hated him extremely.

Zhang Hongmeng took a look at Wang Junlin and Chen Xiaoliu and saw that they were wearing shabby civilian clothes. He didn't bother to take a second look and said with great arrogance: "I bought this leopard skin, please give me a price!"

Wang Junlin knew that this person was not easy to mess with, and he did not want to cause trouble. He hesitated for a moment and said, "I will sell this leopard skin for a hundred pounds."

In order not to get into trouble, he lowered the price from three hundred to one hundred. But Zhang Hongmeng's face darkened and he said: "How can such an expensive leopard skin be found? I'll give you a penny and get out of here, and the leopard skin will return its original value."

Young master."

Wang Junlin's face changed slightly. He realized that he still underestimated this person's shamelessness. Next to him, Chen Xiaoliu lowered his head and held Wang Junlin's arm tightly, suggesting that he should take a small amount of money and leave quickly. However, Wang Junlin's face changed after a while.

, hesitated in his heart and did not agree immediately.

Seeing that Wang Junlin dared not listen to him, Zhang Hongmeng narrowed his eyes and said in a cold voice: "I just suddenly remembered that a leopard we raised was killed. Now I suspect that it was you two.

This young master is going to take you to see the official!"

Wang Junlin's expression changed greatly, he pulled out the hatchet from his waist, suppressed the murderous intention in his heart, and said: "This leopard skin belongs to you, let us two leave."

However, Zhang Hongmeng did not take Wang Junlin seriously at all. He waved his hand and shouted: "If you dare to use the knife on me, I will capture them. If you dare to resist, I will kill them without mercy."

"Xiaoliu, you run first, I'll stop them." Wang Junlin said urgently, and pushed Chen Xiaoliu back. At the same time, he was already approaching Chen Xiaoliu with a hatchet, and in two or two strokes, he pushed Chen Xiaoliu back.

The three guards were knocked to the ground.

At this time, Wang Junlin still didn't want to go on a killing spree and just wounded these guards. But just when he brought down the fifth guard, he suddenly heard a scream from behind him. He turned around and looked, his face turned livid. Chen

Xiaoliu was caught by the last guard and Zhang Hongmeng. The guard held a long knife and put it on Chen Xiaoliu's neck.

Zhang Hongmeng was so proud that he laughed wildly and said, "You are good at fighting, right? Put down the knife and let my people tie you up, otherwise I will slit his throat now."

Even if Wang Junlin is beaten to death, he will not do anything stupid like letting others slaughter him, because he knows that not only will he not be able to save Chen Xiaoliu, but he will also be trapped in it. With Zhang Hongmeng's ruthlessness, both of them will definitely die.

However, although Wang Junlin is not a kind person, he is a person who knows how to repay his kindness. Just watching Zhang Hongmeng take Chen Xiaoliu away, he can't do it either.

Staring at Zhang Hongmeng, Wang Junlin felt murderous intent in his heart, but he did not dare to act rashly and thought hard about countermeasures.

Suddenly something moved in his heart, and he turned to look at the restaurant a hundred steps away. Through the window, he saw Han Ziliang sitting in the box on the second floor looking over.

After a slight hesitation, Wang Junlin's eyes flashed with determination. He glanced at Zhang Hongmeng coldly and walked towards the restaurant. He knew that Zhang Hongmeng would not kill Chen Xiaoliu at this time.

Zhang Hongmeng was inexplicably chilled by Wang Junlin's sight. He actually had the idea of ​​​​getting away from Wang Junlin. He waved his hand, and the guards escorted Chen Xiaoliu away. He had already made up his mind and called more people when he returned.

Kill Wang Junlin.



"General, the humble citizen Wang Junlin is willing to follow the general. I only ask the general to protect me after I provoke the Zhang family." In the restaurant's private room, Wang Junlin bowed and said to Han Ziliang.

"Your name is Wang Junlin, I will remember it. As long as you don't kill the Zhang family father and son, I will bear it for you. This is my personal soldier's token, you can take it. Remember, after you are done, go to Tianshui

The County Chariot and Cavalry Mansion came to see me, and I will arrange military membership for you. If you don’t come, you will be a deserter of our Sui Dynasty. According to my Sui Dynasty laws and regulations, you will have committed a capital crime." Han Ziliang looked at Wang deeply.

Junlin, he saw Wang Junlin's action just now. His combat power was higher than what he had expected before. In particular, he acted decisively, which was in line with his character.

This time he found a way to come to the northwest as a general because he had received news in advance that the imperial court was going to launch troops against Tuyuhun in the Qilian Mountains. He came here to make military exploits. But with a soldier like Wang Junlin by his side, on the battlefield he

There was an extra guarantee for his safety. So Han Ziliang agreed to Wang Junlin's request without hesitation.

Wang Junlin felt awe-inspiring, took the token, bowed and walked out of the restaurant.

After selling the leopard skin at a low price of fifty cents, Wang Junlin easily got rid of the two followers sent by Zhang Hongmeng. Wang Junlin purchased some things in the town and left Maiji Town.



"General, the Zhang family believes that although Qing Yu is as lecherous as his son, he is a ruthless character and can be regarded as a human being. Although Wang Junlin is not weak in martial arts, his methods and mentality may be inferior. If the general does not take action, Wang Junlin said

You might be harmed instead." After Wang Junlin left, the middle-aged man dressed as a scholar said to Han Ziliang.

Han Ziliang glanced at the middle-aged man with some surprise and said: "Mr. Huang, why don't you talk about Zhang Qingyu first? Before, Mr. Huang provided information about important figures in Tianshui County. I didn't take a closer look at such a small person as Zhang Qingyu."

Mr. Huang nodded and said: "The last magistrate of Qingshui County, Liu Wenzhi, left with hatred because of Zhang Qingyu, and this Qingyu can dominate Qingshui County with one hand. His power is not limited to Qingshui County, but also in Tianshui County Cheqi Mansion and County Mansion."

There are also people from the Zhang family. In addition, I heard that the Zhang family has business dealings with several large tribes in Tuyuhun and has a lot of energy. The Zhang family may be used in the court's war against Tuyuhun this time. The most important thing is that the Zhang family is in

There are also people in the capital."

"Oh! There is someone in the capital, who is he?" Han Ziliang asked curiously.

"Zhang Qingyu has a daughter who is the concubine of Qiu Baihan, the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of Shangshu Province." Mr. Huang said.

"Qiu Baihan...the concubine of Changping King Qiu Rui?" Han Ziliang said.

"Exactly." Mr. Huang said.

"If Zhang Qingyu's daughter was a concubine of the direct son of King Changping, I would still be wary, but she is just a concubine, and I, the Han family, would not take it seriously. As for this Wang Junlin, I am different from Mr.

the opinion of."

Having said this, Han Ziliang paused and said: "Because this general can see that Wang Junlin is a person who does not follow common sense, and although the Zhang family is quite powerful in Tianshui County and can even dominate Qingshui County,

But that was only in the officialdom and when facing the common people, and Wang Junlin was neither an official nor an ordinary commoner. Of course, this is also because the Zhang family started in a short period of time and has no foundation. "

When Mr. Huang heard this, he thought thoughtfully and said: "What the general said is absolutely true, but without the general agreeing to protect him, Wang Junlin would probably not dare to take action."



Maiji Town was silent at night. Under the faint light of the stars and moon, a watchman walked through the street holding a lantern and banging his wooden stick. The place he passed was immediately shrouded in darkness.

After the watchman left, a dark figure flashed across the street and headed towards the largest house in the town. He was wearing a black short night suit, carrying a long bow on his back, holding a short knife, and wearing thick belts on his feet.

The sound produced by the soft-soled cloth shoes is inaudible.

This person is none other than Wang Junlin, and this mansion is the main residence of the Zhang family, a tyrant in Qingshui County.

Wang Junlin came to the corner of the courtyard and squatted down. He held his breath and seemed to merge with the darkness. The sound of a dog's breathing came from the other side of the courtyard wall. Wang Junlin took out a piece of dried meat he had prepared in advance and threw it to the other side of the wall.
