Chapter 429: On the Sword Initial Strong Climbing(1/2)
Chapter 429: The initial strong rock climbing of the sword contest
It was a heavy snow, and those who were waiting for a good year next year were very happy, which made Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan feel sad.
"Why is it snowing? You have to adjust and speed up." Wang Juan looked at Bai Yunfeng wearing white clothes without any stunning feeling, and only thought it had affected the plan.
"It's also good to have some difficulty. Let Chide Zuzan and Mojilian see the skills of our troops, and let Silla understand the gap with the Tang Dynasty, which can also make the people of the governor's offices in the northern Hebei Road extinguish the heart waiting to be rekindled."
Zhang Xiaobao tightened his scarf and stood beside a big tree, leeing.
Wang Juan did not continue to complain, looking at the sky, "I hope the sky will be better when the performance is really performed, otherwise there will be less deterrence."
Seeing heavy snow, in order to give Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan more time to prepare, Li Longji chose to take the water route and canals after taking a long journey so that people from all over the place who came to know what an ice-breaking journey is.
Dull explosions sounded across the banks of the canal. The boat with thick iron plates on the bow was crushed all the way. When the sound of ice shattering came one after another to everyone following Li Longji's team, the faces of the interested people who were originally planning to read the joke finally changed their color.
Coming from the cabin, Chide Zuzan picked up the Qianliyan he had lent to him and listened to the blasting in front of the canal. He watched the big ship rushing towards the ice all the way, and said he was not shocked. That was fake.
"The Tang Dynasty's military power is so powerful. I wonder what kind of experience you will encounter on Mount Hua this time, alas!" Chide Zuzan suppressed his hat on his head, felt that the wind was a little weaker, looked at the crowd of people watching the ice on both sides of the canal, looked at the iron chain suspension bridge across the canal, and said with a sigh.
Princess Jincheng stood beside Chide Zuzan, her eyes softly placed in various places within her sight. When she heard Chide Zuzan's words, her eyebrows raised slightly and said softly to Chide Zuzan: "Zanpu, it's better to wait until she returns to Tubo, and learn from the situation on the Yellow River here, and build several iron chain bridges there to facilitate pedestrians to get in and out."
"I don't want to do it either." Chide Zuzan replied to Princess Jincheng.
Princess Jincheng stopped talking. She understood what Chide Zuzan meant. In terms of iron smelting technology, Tubo was not as good as the Tang Dynasty. Even if she wanted to build an iron chain suspension bridge, she did not have a suitable iron ring to use.
What's more, it is difficult to find stones for piers for pressing bridges. Large pieces of copper and iron are used to make them. The iron that is not enough for weapons is even lacking. As for cement filling, Zhang and Wang's family will not sell them to the outside.
Even if the cement used in the Tang Dynasty was paid, it would take the bets from the people sent by Zhang and Wang families before the construction was approved. I wonder how many people who wanted to get cement hated Zhang and Wang families and their teeth were itchy.
A burst of children's laughter attracted the attention of Princess Jincheng. She picked up a thousand miles away and saw a group of children growing kites on the south bank of the canal. The kites that were originally grown in spring were also so happy in winter.
Looking closer, there is not a paste of paper on the kite, but a pink silk cloth. A big bird like a phoenix is flying in the wind, and its long tail swings gently, setting off a bright color in the snow scene.
A child wearing gorgeous clothes happily released a thread that closed the kite under the escort of the servants. A group of children in ordinary clothes surrounded him, clapping his hands and jumping and laughing.
After a while, it was obvious that the child of a wealthy family stuffed the wire board on his hands into the hands of an ordinary child next to him, and then took the hand of another ordinary child, and started laughing and making fun together.
"Don't hate poverty because of wealth and honor, the childish kites are having fun. The snow is frozen and the cold is not cold, and the colorful phoenixes are flying warmly." Princess Jincheng looked at it, with a hint of relief smile on her lips and murmured to praise.
When Chide Zuzan heard the people of Princess Jincheng and saw the children playing on the shore, his face looked even more ugly. He understood that the reason why children from wealthy families could play with ordinary children was not because the children knew what unity was, but because adults taught them.
The more united the people of the Tang Dynasty and the more harmonious they live, the more harsh they will be for Tubo. Children of Tubo with some status will not play with the children of civilians, and the contradictions will gradually intensify. Especially after the news of the Tang Dynasty continued to spread, many slaves even did not say it in person, and behind their backs were discussing when Wang Juan could lead troops to conquer Tubo and change their status.
This is not a good phenomenon. Otherwise, once war breaks out, the people will not have the will to defend themselves and the soldiers will not have the will to fight to the death. Who can stop the iron cavalry of the Tang Dynasty? When the spears were fired, who would be willing to use their flesh and blood to fight against each other?
With a sigh of secret, Chide Zuzan turned his head and looked at Princess Jincheng, who looked much better than when she was in Tubo. She barely squeezed out a smile and said to her:
"Nu Nu, have you been having fun at home in recent days? Have you ever seen Concubine Wu Hui? And Queen Wang? When I come to Tang this time, I will linger for a few more days and meet them frequently. It is windy outside and I will go back to the cabin to avoid it."
Princess Jincheng followed Chide Zuzan into the cabin and served Chide Zuzan with tea. Then she said to him: "Zanpu, Queen Wang and King Zhang have close contacts, while Concubine Wu Hui had many complaints. The harem was under the control of Queen Wang, and there was no major problem."
If Princess Jincheng had a choice, she would not be willing to help Chide Zuzan find out such news, but she had no choice. She could not always stay in the Tang Dynasty and return to Tubo.
For her, it was better for the Tang Dynasty. Her breathing was more comfortable than in Tubo. Although Tubo was so high that it was light and light, some places could not cook eggs, so they could only cook them. The food was much more monotonous. How could it be compared to what I had eaten in the palace for a few days?
Chide Zuzan also knew that the food in the Tang Dynasty was delicious, but he didn't focus on it at all. When he heard Princess Jincheng's words, his eyes lit up, and he lowered his voice and asked, "But can someone impeach Queen Wang and Wang Zhang's conspiracy... You understand."
"No." Princess Jincheng shook her head slightly, "Your Majesty has long known about the relationship between Queen Wang and the Zhang Wang family. Not only Queen Wang, but also other members of the royal family are in contact with the Zhang Wang family. He heard that all the memorials impeached the Zhang Wang family were held by Your Majesty and were not sent to the Secretariat Order. Whenever someone in the court talks about it, other ministers will turn the topic."
"Oh? How can the two families of Zhang and Wang have such a favor?" Chide Zuzan really didn't know that there was a different situation in the use of the inner use. "Would Concubine Wu Hui mentioned how to deal with the two families of Zhang and Wang?"
Princess Jincheng shook her head again, "I have never gone to ask for any countermeasures from Zanpu. I heard that Concubine Wu Hui had attacked the two families of King Zhang, and they ended in failure every time. Now I am just complaining, or having other thoughts, but I have never revealed it."
"Then there is nothing to do?" Chide Zuzan muttered unwillingly.
"Kill Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan." Princess Jincheng said a solution.
"I...If I could kill them, I would have taken action long ago. Let's discuss this matter again, well, let's discuss it again." Chide Zuzan temporarily dispelled the consideration of directly dealing with Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.
As the ship continued to move forward, Chide Zuzan had another thought and told Princess Jincheng, "We need to inquire about the Tang Dynasty during this period, especially the things that I did not touch on Tubo, such as how to make cement? Why can Qianliyan see far away, how to make long spears and short spears? The stability of Tubo depends entirely on these."
"Don't worry, I will ask for it." Princess Jincheng agreed very happily. As for what she was thinking, Chide Zuzan didn't know.
The team was still slowly heading towards Huayin County. It turned out that the journey that could be reached in three days was dragged to about ten days. When Li Longji thought that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan could be prepared, after all, the abilities of the two of them were there.
While Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were busy under Baiyun Peak, Xiaobei and his group ran to the county government office of Huayin County.
The matters received by Huazhou Prefecture were handled by officials from Huayin County, and the officials in Huayin County were only responsible for obeying orders, and were not very busy.
When Xiao Bei brought a group of guards to the door, the current county magistrate of Huayin County, Fang Yang and Fang Xuri, met him in person. He was terrified that something happened to him and was caught.
People from all government officials near the capital knew that the Zhang and Wang families had nine children, and even more understood the power of the nine children. They could not be targeted by them when the emperor was about to come.
Fang Yang, who was careful to receive the reception, thought that nothing could happen, but who knew that as soon as he entered the gate of the yamen, Zhang Xiaobei looked around and found a problem.
"Mr. Fang County, why didn't I see a place specially used to receive the people? When the people come, do you still ask them to wait outside? It's okay to say that in summer, find a shaded place to hide when it's hot. Can you find a warm place in winter? Where is the corresponding amount of reception fees given by the court every year?"
Xiao Bei couldn't find a house to provide rest and food for the people. He reached out and grabbed Fang Yang's sleeve and looked up to ask. The cute big eyes blinked, which made Fang Yang feel depressed.
No matter how cute Xiao Bei is, he has become a demon in Fang Yang's eyes at this time. If the share given every year is really used on the people, isn't there any income in the yamen? Where can I go out and do things without money? I really think it's the same as your Zhang family?
Thinking of this, but not saying this. Fang Yang tried hard to pull the corners of his mouth to both sides. Even if he smiled, he replied to Xiao Bei: "Mr. Zhang doesn't know that there are many lazy and labor-loving people in Huayin County. They don't work hard on weekdays, but only want to be happy. A special reception room was set up in the yamen, so they went to the yamen to eat and drink, so the yamen only removed the reception area."
"I'm so lazy and hate labor? What does it mean?" Xiaobei turned his head to look at Xiaoyuan.
"I just like living a comfortable life, but I don't want to work, I just ask for it without giving." Xiaoyuan answered.
"So that's it. It's right to say that there is no reception place." Bei still looked up at Fang Yang and said.
Fang Yang sighed relieved, "What Lord Zhang said is good."
"Then why is there no such person in Sanshui County? As the magistrate of Fang County, isn't it that he educates the people to do good deeds and do things? Instead, he is watching a cold look when there is nothing? This is called inaction, Xiaoyuan, make a memorial and wait for His Majesty to come and submit it."
Xiaobei almost scared Fang Yang's heart out of his mouth with a word. Looking at the other eight children's expressions of deep agreement, he didn't know what to do for a moment.
If they really ask them to make a memorial, they will be finished. Who doesn’t know His Majesty’s attitude towards the nine children? You must check the bullets and check them strictly. Don’t say that the yamen is not so clean, but it is really done well. If you want to investigate them strictly, you will not find any problems?
Fang Yang didn't know what to do, and the chief clerk who was accompanying him was even more afraid. There were some problems in his account. Although there were not many differences, once it was found out, it would be a serious crime, at least it would be a dismissal.
After listening to Xiao Bei’s suggestion, he looked at the nine kids again, and felt that no matter how you look at the nine kids, it was very hateful. Why are there so many things? Don’t you understand the difficulties in the local area?
No matter how much I think about it, I have to say, "Mr. Zhang, it's not easy in the county. Just listen to Mr. Zhang, and I will make a house immediately to serve as a special guest to receive the people. There is no need to write memorials, right?"
Xiaoyuan frowned and said, "There is a check from the top, and the bottom is a task, so that it will be done early, and it will be abolished until now. Are you dealing with us? Seeing that we are young, let's deal with it. How do I know if you will continue to withdraw the place after we leave? The account will be closed and Brother Xiaohai will investigate."
The chief clerk did not expect that a group of kids would be so difficult to answer correctly. He was willing to bribe, and thought about the business of Zhang and Wang families, and wanted to threaten them. He also thought about the force of Zhang and Wang families, and he could not advance or retreat.
Seeing that someone wanted to seal the account, his face turned dark, "I know that the censor cannot directly seal the account book, and he can only impeach him. Could it be that you have to overstep your authority and do it?"
"Okay, then I won't be sealed. I will impeach you directly. Let's take a look. Xiao Bei, what else can I go in? What if they want to kill us? Let's go and find my brother and sister."
Xiaoyuan grabbed Xiaobei with a cold face and turned around and walked out. Xiaobei was stunned for a moment, then he realized and nodded, "Yes, they don't allow the account to be closed. There must be something wrong with impeaching them. I want to go to see the emperor and talk to him in person. It's too unreasonable."
Fang Yang was stunned when he saw this, and glared at the chief clerk hard. The chief clerk's head buzzed, and his eyes turned dark. He paused for a few breaths before he recovered. He knew that he was done with Xiaobei and others. He was excited and took a few steps away, and opened his hand to block Xiaobei and others.
"If you have something to say, you can say something to say, don't hurry and go in and say it."
"Oh, no, they want to be unfavorable to me. Children's Group, come on and take it down." Xiao Bei was worried about how to get things done. There was no chance. Seeing someone dared to stop her, he had an excuse and shouted, looking scared.
As soon as Xiao Bei shouted out, ten of the children's group, who seemed the most stable, took out their pistols and aimed at the group of people in the yamen.
Everyone in the yamen stopped moving. They knew what the other party was holding. Although the yamen had applied and the court did not give it, they still knew the power of this thing very well. This thing was not good to hit him.
"Hmph, I thought I wasn't ready? I just applied to my brother and sister, and it's easy to use. Whoever dares to move will beat you to death. You'll be against you."
Xiao Bei clapped his hands and walked out excitedly, with a proud look on his face, indicating that she was foresighted.
Ten children with guns were nervous. They practice shooting, but this was the first time they were aiming at people, holding the gun tightly with both hands so that they could bear the recoil when the gun was fired.
It is not easy to be able to practice shooting. When Zhang Xiaobao said that he would let his children practice shooting, Wang Juan was worried that the children would not be able to withstand recoil. Zhang Xiaobao said that children in war-torn places would use AK and Bazooka to bang. How can our children get a pistol?
He was not allowed to carry it normally, but Xiao Bei applied for it after he came back from the Niu Village. He only deserved ten handfuls and placed them in the hands of the most stable child.
The people in the yamen were controlled, and the other children took out their handcuffs and prepared to be punished one by one.
At this moment, the county magistrate of Huayin County was a little far away and moved inside a little bit against the base of the wall.
"Who, what do you mean? What are you running away? Do you say there is a ghost in your heart?" The proud Xiao Bei suddenly discovered this situation, pointed at the county magistrate and shouted loudly.
The county magistrate and other officials turned their heads at the same time and looked at the county magistrate in surprise, and were puzzled.
"No, I didn't run away, I'll go get the rope, yes, get the rope." The county magistrate said and was still moving under his feet.
"Haha, catch him quickly and shoot me if you dare to run away. I didn't expect that I really wanted to plant flowers but wouldn't bloom, and wouldn't be careless to plant willows and willows. I was just a minor crime of greed for some money. Even if I could not find out, I was just an exile. He was afraid of being arrested? What does this mean?"
Yes, what does it mean? Everyone was thinking.
"It means that the incident he committed was a death sentence. Come on, guy ***." Xiao Bei answered by himself, commanded the children's group and rushed up.
The county magistrate stopped for a moment, and just when others thought he was willing to be arrested, they suddenly started and ran inside.
With a bang, a child holding a gun in his hand hooked the trigger. The county magistrate's leg bloomed and fell to the ground. He was pressed tightly by the group of children who were rushing up. He picked up the county magistrate's clothes and covered his head, and dragged it to Xiao Bei.
"Let's go and find my brother and sister, County Magistrate Fang. I won't pursue other matters in the yamen for the time being, so I will accompany me." Xiao Bei doesn't care about the little things in Huayin County after he has made greater contributions.
"Yes, let's go now. Come on. Please help Lord Zhang take care of the county magistrate. Thank you Lord Zhang, thank you all." Fang Yang was grateful to the arrested county magistrate, and quickly agreed, and called the yamen runner to take the county magistrate who was still bleeding and crying for pain, following Xiao Bei and others behind him and heading towards the foot of Mount Hua.
The first thing Li Longji did after he arrived at the foot of Mount Hua was to arrest the people sent by the Hei Shui Governor's Office.
The Hei Shui Governor's Office is even more close to the north than the Bohai Governor's Office. The sphere of influence of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan has not reached that point. Although they have also been vain and are willing to pay rent and tax, they can set the amount of rent and tax very small for various excuses. The more important thing is that there are many mountains and forests, and the road is steep.
The county magistrate arrested by Xiao Bei from Huayin County was sent by Heishui Governor's Office. He was lying undercover for a long time. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan tried almost all the interrogation methods they knew on him, and then they pried open his mouth.
The initial methods of various effects on the ** are not effective at all, and they don’t even mention the pain. In the end, the problem was solved by fatigue interrogation, anesthetics and the wine poured in.
To be continued...
