Yi Song

Chapter 139 It’s still because of love!

Zhu Chong, Zhu Meng’s biological father!

Liu Guozhang investigated the Zhu family's fortune history.

Zhu Chong is a key figure in the Zhu family's fortune. Previously, the Zhu family was poor, so Zhu Chong traveled around and got a good prescription somewhere, which he made into a patent medicine, which was very popular and made him rich.

Later, Cai Jing was demoted and fled to Suzhou. He wanted to build a large garden. Someone recommended Zhu Chong.

Zhu Chong built the garden quickly, economically and well, which made Cai Jing very satisfied.

Later, Cai Jing colluded with Tong Guan, who came to the southeast to set up the Jinming Bureau to search for rare treasures for Zhao Ji. With his help, he resumed power and promoted Zhu Chong to take over the Jinming Bureau and continue to search for rare treasures for Zhao Ji.

The son inherited his father's legacy, and Zhu Meng did better than Zhu Chong, so he became a tyrant in the southeast and one of the six thieves.

Zhu Chong was used to running rampant in Suzhou. He took a fancy to Su Qingqing and went to bed first without saying a word.

However, Su Qingqing felt that she was committed to Zhan Yuanfan for life, but she lost her virginity to an old thief, just like a virgin losing her virginity, so she hanged herself.

When Liu Guozhang saw this, he couldn't help but murmured, "It's really hard to describe how love can be seen in a brothel!"

Zhan Yuanfan held Su Qingqing's body, heartbroken, and secretly determined to take revenge and let the Zhu family be wiped out.

Zhu Chong and Zhu Meng's father and son didn't take the matter seriously at all. They gave Zhan Yuanfan a sum of money and stuffed a few beauties with them, and then they forgot about it. However, they didn't expect Zhan Yuanfan to be an infatuated lover and pretended to be fine on the surface. In fact, he acted secretly.

He first planned to make Zhu Chong drunk and make a mistake, fall into the river and drown.

Then he used himself as the contact person between Zhao Kai, Cai Laowu and Zhu Meng to hide many autographed letters from Zhao Kai, Cai Laowu and Zhu Meng, and even designed to cleverly let Zhao Kai, Cai Laowu and Zhu Meng The others brought out some key evidence, but he seized it.

Only in June, Zhu Meng escorted Hua Shigang to Bianjing to meet with Cai Laowu, Zhao Kai and others. During the conversation, he accidentally discovered Zhan Yuanfan's flaws.

After Zhu Meng returned to Suzhou, he searched secretly. Unexpectedly, Zhan Yuanfan was alert and immediately noticed the evidence. He rushed to give the evidence to his friends and asked them to escort it to Beijing and give it to Zheng Juzhong, Bai Shizhong, Wang Fu and other powerful officials.

Zhan Yuanfan knew that these people were Cai Jing's political opponents and had been planning to drive Cai Jing out of office. With this evidence, he would definitely launch a fatal blow to Cai Jing, his party member Zhu Meng and others.

Zhu Meng caught Zhan Yuanfan, not wanting him to drink poison and commit suicide first. After some investigation, Fengcheng and others were traced, and then the Manjintang incident occurred.

Liu Guozhang put down Fengcheng's letter and picked up another letter, written by Zhan Yuanfan.

He briefly described how he was recruited by Zhao Kai, colluded with Cai Laowu, made money for Zhao Kai, and worked hard to help him ascend to the position of prince. He also briefly introduced the collected letters and evidence, and their respective origins.

After reading the eleven letters and picking up five objects and looking at them carefully for a while, Liu Guozhang shook his head repeatedly.

No matter how strong a fortress is, it will be breached from within.

No conspiracy can compare to love!

How to use these evidences?

It is not a problem to overthrow Zhu Meng and finish his family.

The key is that he is just a vicious dog of Cai Jing, with Cai Jing and Tong Guan connected to him. If you don't bring down Zhu Meng and Cai Jing, you will fail to stab the tiger but be eaten by it instead.

But using these evidences to bring down Cai Jing still feels like it's not enough. All the evidence points to Cai Laowu, but has nothing to do with Cai Jing. This old fox like him will definitely find a way to escape.

No, we must find a way to put him into this basket and clean it up together.

Liu Guozhang walked back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, thinking back and forth in his mind. Feeling a little bored, he opened the door and saw Zhou Juan standing outside the door.

"Quji, what's the matter?" "Commander, on the way back from Jinling, my subordinates encountered something important and wanted to report it to the commander. I just didn't dare to delay the commander's business, so I waited here."

"Come in and tell me what's important?"

"The envoy of the Commander-in-Chief and his subordinates were passing through the junction of Hao, Su, and Bozhou when they heard a group of people discussing matters in a roadside teahouse. They said that Tian Wenbao, the great tycoon in Huaibei, the leader of the Zang Sect, had issued a green forest summons order to summon Huaibei, Huainan, and Huaixi. Heroes from all over Huaidong went to Chigou Town to discuss important matters.

An elder said bluntly that the Tian family had been preaching for three generations and had nearly 100,000 followers, including tens of thousands of young and strong men. After the reign of Chongning, the officials were fatuous, traitors were in power, and the government was in ruins. Tian Wenbao colluded with the officials, purchased soldiers and armor, and plotted to prepare dead soldiers. He had already had evil intentions. This summons is probably to initiate rebellion. "

Huaibei Zangjiao Tian Wenbao rebelled?

Liu Guozhang suddenly remembered that when he was discussing politics online in his previous life, he heard from a netizen that there was a very strange phenomenon in the Song Dynasty.

According to statistics by historians, the number of recorded peasant uprisings in the Song Dynasty was the largest in all dynasties. However, the intensity of its peasant uprising was appallingly low. None of the peasant uprisings such as Yellow Turban, Huangchao, Red Turban, Chuangwang, and Taiping were so violent and overturned the country.

The biggest one was the Fang La Uprising, which was wiped out by the Song army that was reduced to ashes in less than a year. If you add in the time it took the court to mobilize troops and generals, the Fang La Uprising almost collapsed at the first touch, and was truly short-lived.

It's really confusing.

The ancestral method of guarding the inside and the outside does have some effect.

Now Tian Wenbao suddenly appears and wants to start a rebellion in Huaibei.

Liu Guozhang was certain that he was instigated by others, and the target was most likely himself. It was simple. In history, there had been no large-scale uprising in the Huaihe River area in the Song Dynasty.

The Song Jiang gang that later became the prototype of "Water Margin" was, to put it bluntly, a group of rogue bandits. They fled from Shandong to Huaidong and were defeated by a county captain and his country soldiers.

He led the Changshui Army to station in Nanjing and dredge the Bianhe River. Then Tian Wenbao became passionate and wanted to rebel!

From a geographical point of view, the nearest big city is Nanjing.

After capturing Nanjing, occupying the land of Longxing in the Zhao and Song Dynasties, threatening Bianjing, and cutting off the connection between Henan and Jianghuai, the world was shocked. Tian Wenbao finally showed his banner.

The code is so good that even a blind person can see that Tian Wenbao's incident must be caused by someone behind the scenes, targeting him. When he was about to complete the dredging project, he was stabbed from behind.

Typical Chua style.

Just as he was thinking about it, Yang Xiaojie hurried over.

"Commander, we sent five cavalry groups to search for Quji. One of them went deep into the area south of Weizhen County in Bozhou and found that thousands of Taoist believers had gathered there with evil intentions. When they saw our cavalry, these people were panicked at first. , after coming back to his senses, he actually sent people to chase him."

"Are our cavalry injured?"

"Six people were injured, two of them were seriously injured, and they are still receiving first aid at the medical station."

"You dare to chase the officers and soldiers, it seems that Tian Wenbao has decided to raise troops!" Liu Guozhang's face was solemn.

"Yes, Commander, what should we do?" Yang Xiaojie asked solemnly.

Zhu Meng from Yangzhou and Tian Wenbao from Bozhou currently only have enough troops to deal with one of them. How should I choose?
