Chapter 161: 160 Preparation and Movement

   "Three brothers, this is a matter of life and death, be careful!"

   Xiang Tianjie hurriedly dissuaded him. He really didn't want to make waves again, he just wanted to take people away safely.

   Everyone came back to their senses and came to persuade Zhou Jing together.

Although most of the people in the audience are angry for Guo Haishen, it is good to say that they are robbed of prison to save people. If they really want to go to the house of a big family to avenge Guo Haishen, they don't want to take this risk. The rich and powerful.

   Not to mention, listening to Zhou Jing's meaning, it's not just to break into a big family, but to kill as many as possible... It's impossible to do it with just a dozen of them!

   Zhou Jing waved his hand, stopped everyone, and said decisively: "Brothers, I have made up my mind, and the matter of causing the riot is left to the three of us, you just need to save people."

   Seeing that he insisted on acting, everyone had no choice but to give up.

   There were more than a dozen people present, but they were actually divided into four groups, Zhou Jing and Fang Zhen, Gao Yun was considered a single person, and the other two groups were Tianwangzhai and Hongyunshan, each with their own leaders.

   Xiang Tianjie and Li Chun can command their own leaders, but for "outsiders" like Zhou Jing, they are not good orders, so it is inconvenient to stop Zhou Jing, and they are not qualified to command him.

  Since Zhou Jing's move was also to save people and acted voluntarily at his own risk, then there was nothing anyone else could do, so they had to let him go.

   Although many leaders felt that Zhou Jing's decision was too risky, they secretly admired it. .

   Others dare not think of things they dare not do, but this brother Chen is not afraid of difficulties and dangers, he has no hesitation, his temper is as violent as fire... Dare to go to Hushan, he is a real hero!

   In addition, many leaders of Tianwangzhai also felt that Zhou Jing's words had gone to their hearts, and their emotions were up and down.

  No one is born a person in the green forest, everyone has some indescribable past, and later realized that being a good person in this world is a lamb, a cow and a horse, and then he is willing to fall into the grass and become a thief.

Some irritable leaders of Tianwangzhai were full of resentment by Zhou Jing's remarks, and even wanted to ignore and have a good time with Zhou Jing... Unfortunately, there is Xiang Tianjie, the leader who is pressing, they are not good to violate The meaning of the reverse of the fourth master can only be endured.

   However, everyone had an inexplicable feeling, and found that although Zhou Jing was also from the green forest, he seemed to be different from them, but he couldn't tell.

  ...I have to describe it, perhaps it is more "pure"?

   Li Chun had nothing to do, so he had to warn: "Then Brother Chen, be very careful, and if you can't do anything, you will quickly withdraw."

  Lu Xinniang said at this time: "Brother Chen and the two brothers are in danger here, and someone needs to take care of them. Leave this to me."

   "Alright." Li Chun nodded without stopping.

   On the other hand, Lu Yunzhao hesitated, hesitated for a while, and said, "Let me pick up the three brothers for you, Xinniang, go and pick up the heads of Tianwangzhai."

   He felt that it was too dangerous to meet Zhou Jing, and he didn't want the girl to go, so he planned to do it himself.

  Lu Xinniang raised her eyebrows, showing no appreciation, and shouted:

"The three heroes did a righteous deed. I admired them in my heart and volunteered to help them. They have already taken the greatest risk. What is my risk? Do I need you to say such ridiculous things? Could it be that you think I'm a spoiled woman who can't bear any risk? Or do you just not trust me?"

   "You really don't know what's going on..." Lu Yunzhao felt very depressed and couldn't help saying.

   As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone present changed slightly, they looked at him silently, and did not speak.

   Li Chun was keenly aware of the inappropriateness of this remark, and hurriedly stopped Lu Yunzhao:

   "Brother Lu! I've always known that you love your sister, but this matter is very important. Since your mother already cares about it, don't obstruct it any more."

  Lu Yunzhao also suddenly woke up and stopped talking.

   Xiang Tianjie coughed, pulled everyone's attention back, and moved the topic away:

"Then the arrangement is like this. All the eight people from Tianwangzhai will go to the prison except Shi Qing and Zheng Song. Li Chun and Lu Yunzhao will take Shi Qing and Zheng Song to pick up our prison robbers. The things that cause riots will be handed over to Chen Feng. , Gao Yun, Fang Zhen, the three heroes, Lu Xinniang will come to meet you... Do you think this arrangement is appropriate?"

  Everyone agrees, no opinion.

   In this way, the division of labor is clarified. Tianwangzhai is mainly to rob prison, leaving two people out to prepare for retreat, while the three chiefs of Hongyun Mountain are only responsible for coordinating, and the arduous task of making trouble is handed over to Zhou Jing, three scattered people who do not have a cottage.

   Determined their respective responsibilities, and everyone began to act, one after another to step on the spot, and do more preparations before the agreed date of robbery.

  …

   South of Anlin Mansion, He's house.

This He family also has ancestors who are officials. They have been operating in this Anlin mansion for many years. The family is prosperous and has strong financial resources. Together with the other three families of Lu, Chen and Huang, they are also called the four wealthy families of Anlin mansion. faucet.

   And the south of the city has the best scenery, most of them are high-level mansions, which are considered as "rich areas", and the mansions of the four wealthy families are all built in the south of the city.

  After bribing the camp, Butler He immediately left the prison, returned to the mansion, and reported to Master He.

   Mr. He is a spirited old man with beads in his hand, and he is rich and noble.

   After listening to the butler's report, Master He nodded, hummed, and said casually:

   "It's not a pity for this surnamed Guo to die, but it's more uncomfortable to be a crippled person than to die. In this way, he has to pay the price."

   "What the lord said is, it's just that your old time is precious, why do you have to spend a lot of energy on a grass? If you want me to say, how good it is to directly eliminate him, what qualifications do you have to waste your time with such lowly people?"

   The butler whispered.

  Master He crossed the bracelet and said with a light smile:

"This is the unanimous decision I have made after discussing with the three owners of Lu, Chen, and Huang. This person surnamed Guo is nosy, and because of some muddy legs, he messes up our business, and it is known all over the city. The dark people who say the grapes are sour are booing and applauding in private. The four of us have always been on the same page. If we don’t punish them severely, where will our faces go?”

  The housekeeper rolled his eyes and asked curiously, "Then, after the surnamed Guo is defunct, what will we do with him?"

   Mr. He laughed, his tone was calm:

"We will find a way to get him out, let him not die in prison, and let him be a crippled beggar in this Anlin mansion. Wasn't he known all over the city before, then let him beg all day long It's just right to let those unscrupulous people see clearly what will happen if they go against us, and the consequences of trying to be quick are just letting us concoct... With this living example, those unscrupulous people will not dare to disobey in the future."

   Hearing the words, the butler immediately gave him a flattery, smiling all over his face: "Wonderful! It's really a brilliant move! The master's skills are extraordinary, and he is truly an outstanding person in the world!"

   Mr. He tickled the corner of his mouth, which was quite useful.

  …

   On the other side, Chengnan Lu House.

  Lu'an City asked the housekeeper to allocate dozens of servants, and asked these people to follow Wu Zheng to Wujiazhuang to take back the property.

In the    courtyard, dozens of housekeepers have gathered to be inspected by the housekeeper.

   Beside him, Wu Zheng had already changed into a suit for going out, and he was politely thanking Lu Ancheng at this time.

   "The old lady's help this time, Xiao Ke will keep it in mind, and he will be named in the gold list in the future, and there will be a big reward."

Lu Ancheng also had a friendly look on his face, talking to Wu Zheng, and exhorting: "Be careful here, Dalang, the villagers will suddenly make a fortune, and maybe they will take risks. I specially ordered two guards with strong martial arts to accompany you. I can keep you safe."

   said, he clapped his hands, and the two muscular warriors came over, clasped their fists, and got to know Wu Zheng.

   This kind of nursing home is not a housekeeper, but a master hired from outside. They are all skilled in martial arts. Many wealthy families have such masters.

   "Thank you, old lady." Wu Zheng quickly thanked him again.

  Lu Ancheng stroked his beard and smiled.

   As long as Wu Zheng gets the property back, he will sign a deed and let him take care of it, and the Lu House can temporarily lease these properties... But it is only a nominal lease, but it is actually the actual owner.

  Lu'an City did not intend to ruin Wu Zheng's life and embezzle these fields.

   After all, the two families have "good family relationships", and they are barely relatives, so there is no need to do everything, and Lu Mansion itself does not lack these land. In contrast, it is more meaningful to invest in Wu Zhengkao to gain fame.

   Even if Wu Zheng was named on the Golden List, he still needed help in his career, and the powerful Lu Mansion was one of the few that he relied on, so Wu Zheng must be aware of this.

  There is such a relationship. When Wu Zheng becomes an official in Japan, is he afraid that he will not repay his kindness and take care of the Lu Mansion that "gives help in the snow" to him?

   At that time, the little property in Wujiazhuang is just a hair on Jiu Niu's body!

   With such a huge profit, there is no reason for Lu'an City not to invest.

   - Of course, if Wu Zheng failed his investment, these properties would be compensation, and it would be worth it.

  The two of them have their own thoughts, but they have done a good job of courtesy, like a pair of elders and nephews in a harmonious relationship.

   Soon, Wu Zheng paid tribute to Master Bielu and set off on the road with two nurses and dozens of servants.

   "You will definitely find your home here."

   Wu Zheng was calm.

  The powerful and powerful Master Lu was behind his back. He felt confident that he would not be able to take back his fortune.

  Although I still have to "rent" it to Master Lu in the end, it's better than being divided up by the villagers... The family property is given to a powerful relative, at least some income, but the mud leg is given nothing, and it is completely wasted.

  …

  Anlin House, the mansion of the prefect.

   Several servants carried a gold wire box, walked into the back hall, and put the box in the room.

   A steward of the four noble families followed and opened the gold wire box, revealing several gorgeous and precious jade objects inside.

   Then, the steward bent over and handed over, and smiled at the prefect of Lin in the main seat:

   "My master recently got a few treasures by chance. Thinking that Lord Lin always loves rare treasures, he sent me here to honor Lord Lin."

   The prefect of Lin got up, stepped forward, took out a beautiful tiger-shaped jade sculpture from the box, played with it, and said slowly:

   "Well~ your master has a heart."

   The steward put on a more earnest smile and said, "My master remembers the previous help from the prefect, and dare not forget it."

   The prefect of Lin waved his hand and didn't care:

   "But what about Guo Haishen? He was arrogant and disobedient, and punishing him is in line with the law. For me, it's just business."

After    finished speaking, Lin Zhifu sat back in the main seat and took a sip of tea.

   Seeing that the steward hadn't left, he put down the teacup and asked casually, "What else?"

   The steward handed over his hands again and again and said, "My master will hold a banquet in Chunyu Building in three days, and would like to invite the adults to gather. I wonder if the adults have time to spare?"

   Lin Zhifu raised his eyelids and said casually, "What can your master say, what do you want to talk to me about?"

   The steward hurriedly replied: "Reporting to the lord, my master hopes that the lord will raise your hand, and when the punishment is enough, Guo Haishen can be released..."

   Hearing the words, the prefect of Lin snorted and said strangely: "Everyone has been arrested, why should they be released?"

   "I don't know, my master will explain to the adults Haosheng..."

   The steward said with a smile.

   Lin Zhifu snorted, patted the armrest of the chair, and said lightly:

   "This official has arrested someone and is going to let them go. Do you think that the majesty of the official government is nothing?"

  Plop!

   The steward immediately knelt down and said in fear, "I don't dare to dare! Your lord knows it, my master has no such intentions!"

   Lin Zhifu immediately got up, walked away, and threw a sentence:

   "Three days later, I will go to the banquet myself and ask your master to explain exactly what he means."

   When the prefect was far away, the steward dared to stand up and let out a sigh of relief. In fact, he was not flustered, he just showed it.

   This prefect of Lin promised to arrest Guo Haishen at the beginning. Naturally, he didn't care about a person who was innocent or wronged by the grass-roots. It was not important to him whether to arrest or release... This posturing was just beating these tyrannical gentry, and at the same time seeking benefits.

   The steward has dealt with this local prefect surnamed Lin, not once or twice. Knowing that this prefect likes to make a sound, in fact, he is not relentless in receiving money.

  What makes his master clear the meaning, what else can it mean, naturally it means the meaning...

  …

  In a restaurant in the city, five strong men dressed as officers were drinking and eating meat and chatting casually.

   The other customers in the store did not dare to approach the five officers, and all sat in a remote corner.

   These five officers had their own positions, including a coach surnamed Hu, a Ji-level surnamed Xie, two infantry chiefs surnamed Dong and Xue, and a horse army commander surnamed Deng.

The    five people are not all colleagues, not all members of the same family.

   But most of the people of Anlin Mansion knew five people. It was precisely because when Guo Haishen was arrested a few days ago, these five people were the masters who were specially transferred from various places by the government to overthrow Guo Haishen.

   It is precisely because of this fate that the five of them got to know each other. Sometimes they get together to drink, sometimes they learn from each other, and they always talk about the battle of jointly arresting Guo Haishen.

Teacher Hu put a piece of meat in his mouth, chewing it, and said with emotion: "Then Guo Haishen is known as the iron-armed Canglong in the green forest, and his hands are really hard, but unfortunately he was drunk at the time and stared at him. I played 70% to 80% more, but I wasn't happy."

  Xie Jiejie touched the scar on his neck and said dissatisfiedly: "He's so good, why don't I wait to win it?"

  The scar on his neck was beaten by Guo Haishen at that time, and he almost fell.

   Dong Du, who was next to him, had a drunken face and a red face, and said with a big tongue: "In my opinion, Guo Haishen is also famous, but his martial arts skills are not good."

   Commander Deng frowned and said:

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm just taking up a lot of people, if you fight alone, you are not his opponent, and even I can go up to 30 or 40 times with him at most... Sigh, there is no chance for such a master to fight alone. It's really a pity. It's a pity that he has provoked the wrong person. I'm afraid that the good skills that he has cultivated through hard work will be wasted, and it's really not worth it."

  Xue Du nodded and said, "This person is ignorant, so he deserves to suffer. What a pity he did? The name of this iron-armed blue dragon is absolutely in the rivers and lakes."

   Hearing the words, several people were a little surprised. The rivers and lakes ebb and flow, and no matter how big the reputation is, it is only a wave, and it will die at any time.

   At this time, Teacher Hu thought of a stubborn thing and said with a smile:

   "Speaking of which, recently another green forest strongman has appeared in this Jingzhou boundary. He claims to be an urging Yama. It is said that he has the ability to defeat a hundred with one attack. I don't know if it is true or not."

   "Hey, this kind of rumors in the market are all exaggerated, but you believe it." Dong Du sneered.

Xie Jiejie shook his head and didn't take it seriously: "Then Guo Haishen also used one-hundred-hundred martial arts, didn't he capture it for us? This urged Yan Luo to be able to fight one-hundred by one, so what if he was surrounded by hundreds of people, he would still drink his hatred. on the spot."

   Commander Deng shook his head:

   "To urge Yama? It sounds like a madman. If he is really capable, teach me to meet him, and he must ask for advice!"
