Chapter 126 Send it out
Zhu Yunyao was wearing women's clothing for Lingshan military families. This women's clothing naturally did not have any particularity in materials and styles. In order to be busy with farm work, it was very convenient to do it. It was suitable for girls who couldn't get stable. Zhu Yunyao rushed in from outside. After entering the door, she rushed to speak before she could speak:
"Brother Li, please take me to ride a horse. Yesterday I heard from my servant that there is a large drying ground in the south of the manor, which is used to practice equestrians in winter."
In the countryside, it is rare to see such a cute girl. These wives from military and craftsmen naturally think they are cute. Moreover, Zhu Yunyao's innocent and charming style is even more attractive. Li Meng's instructions were not detailed, so he naturally answered questions and answered them. When he heard the girl's request, Li Meng was not angry and just asked:
"Master Princess, your guards in the palace have come to pick you up. When will you go back?"
Hearing this, the girl was stunned at first, and then her face turned down. Zhu Yunyao was quite relaxed in front of Li Meng now. Li Meng also treated the other party as a little sister who was confused. Her eyes rolled and she said coquettishly:
"The place in Luoshizi seems to be a cage. You can suffocate it every day. I won't go back. Otherwise, Brother Li, you said that I'm already dying of illness. Maybe they can breathe a sigh of relief. It's a serious crime to leave the city!"
It turns out that you also know that this is a serious crime. Li Meng looked at the girl in anger and said in a deep voice:
"It's easy to say that you're dead, but what about your parents? What would they think after so many years of giving birth to you?"
At the end of the conversation, Li Meng was a little harsh. He remembered his modern parents. He didn't know how heartbroken his son would be when he disappeared. The little girl in front of him was too young. He was in the noble family with weak human feelings. Maybe he didn't know what he was doing.
When talking about his parents, namely the King of Zhou and the Princess, Zhu Yunyao's expression changed and he didn't make a sound for a while. At this time, someone outside loudly told him that it was Boss Zhang from the gambling house asking for a meeting.
Li Meng didn't continue to say anything, but just waved his hand to let the girl leave first. The matter was under his control and there was no hurry.
After the people in the house were cleared, a guard led the gambling house boss Zhang in and said that it was Boss Zhang or the butcher Zhang who drove the dice.
The butcher bent behind the guard with a polite face. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Li Meng sitting in the front seat, quickly stepped forward, knelt on the ground, kowtowed a few times, and said:
"Please pay tribute to the garrison master Li!"
Even if you don’t like kowtow, you have to adapt. Li Meng’s current identity is already a god in a place like Fengmeng Town. Even if a person like Zhang Butcher is summoned by Li Meng, he is so happy. If Li Meng is unwilling to kowtow when he meets him, wouldn’t he scare the other party’s courage?
"Get up and talk!"
Li Meng said lightly, butcher Zhang kowtowed and thanked him again before getting up. Li Meng's usual behavior was to try to make him have the temperament of an official, which is the so-called superior temperament, but he always did not do well. The civilians around him, especially the relatives of military and craftsmen, were not afraid of him and were very close to him.
The only place where he can show his majesty is in the army. The soldiers and officers there gradually developed a kind of obedience to Li Meng and were willing to fight beside him. So this time, the old salt ding was transferred back. All the salt ding teams who received the news were excited. They were very happy to be able to come back early, and they were very depressed to train and recruit salt ding with the old.
"There are many people on your side, and the news should be more informative than mine."
Hearing Li Meng said casually, Butcher Zhang bent down and replied respectfully, saying:
"They are all guests who come everywhere to get lucky salt. These people have all kinds of people. They have great knowledge when they walk everywhere. When they drink too much, they will say to the villain, and this is all for you to be blessed. Otherwise, how could the shop have such a prosperous business?"
Since Zhang Butcher's gambling house claimed to be "protected" by Li Meng, the business has been booming. Jiaozhou, Jimo and Pingduzhou have all opened venues, and Zhang Butcher also decided on it. He just opened it at the place where the Yanding Team was stationed. There are people who protect it there, and the second is a major transportation route. How can he not make a fortune?
After he finished speaking inconsistently, Li Meng nodded and asked again:
"The green forest bandits everywhere in Laizhou Prefecture, Xiangma Mountain Village, may you get the exact news?"
After this question, Zhang Butcher was shocked. The bandits and Xiangma were everywhere in Denglai. Refugees, defeated soldiers, the White Lotus Sect, and even bandits circulating in Henan and northern Zhili. These people are all outlaws and killing people without blinking. Those who come to Fengmeng Town sell private salt are all local tyrants. They have a lot of dealing with these bandits, Xiangma and others. It is easy to know the news, but this is a big deal that will cost you a lot.
However, Zhang Butcher's hesitation was just a trembling time, and he immediately realized that although these bandits and horses were vicious, they were far away from him. Now he was tied to Li Erlang in front of him. Those bandits were going to cause trouble for themselves and might be able to resist for a while. If Li Erlang was unhappy, someone would chop off his head to seek credit in less than half an hour. Outsiders don't know that he knew that he was burning in the drying yard last year was not straw.
After making up his mind, Zhang Tuhuo looked calmer and bent down and replied:
"Reply to Mr. Li's words, it's not difficult for the villain to find out about these thieves. Please give me any instructions."
Li Meng nodded and said with a smile:
"The horse bandits in the Laizhou Prefecture area, and all the forces, as long as you can find out, you will tell me wherever you are. How many people will tell me that they need money and manpower. I will give you a command later. Even if you find the Wang Hai tribe, they are all fellow villagers. If you have any questions, you can say something."
After saying this, Zhang Butcher was kneeling on the ground, looking like she was about to cry. The biggest thigh on the ground in Jiaozhou is Li Meng's Jiaozhou Camp. On weekdays, Zhang Butcher was worried all day long because of Ma Gang's incident, fearing that someone would come to him. Who would have thought that Li Meng would be close today. With this guarantee, he would be able to do more business, and he would almost be able to leave sideways in the future.
After a few sounds touched each other, Zhang Butcher swears:
"Please rest assured, the villain must do what he has assigned to him, even if he is crushed to pieces."
In early November, the water volume of Jiaohe and Xiaobaihe began to decrease, and it was probably frozen in a while. On the rivers near Fengmeng Town, all people from the Jiaozhou camp and salt administration system were driven away. They clearly warned that they should be closed today and not approached. Those who do not obey should be careful of the death of their own life. When they say this, naturally no one will go to die foolishly.
There were more than a dozen ships parked on the river, and two hundred salted men lined up by the river, staring at the more than 60 guards of the royal palace boarding the ship. The weapons of these people were all removed and they were all changed into the clothes of the shipmasters.
Several leaders of the royal guards stood dejectedly on the edge of the pedal. Li Meng did not show up, only Chen Liu and Wang Hai came here, and Chen Liu said coldly:
"This letter was sent to your master by your lady. You must bring it there. You don't have to worry too much. My master said that as long as you bring it, your master will not make things difficult for you."
The guard leader squeezed out a smile that was even worse than crying, nodded repeatedly, and Wang Hai next to him said with a smile:
"I advise you all that the guys on this boat eat no capital and don't have any reaction on the water, otherwise it will be uncomfortable to make wontons and cut noodles."
The guards said this and trembled. Looking back at the boatman, they were not all vicious people. The sword was just on their waists. The last thought in their hearts disappeared. They nodded repeatedly and said with a reluctant smile:
"Don't worry, two sirs. We have received the news, which is to make my master happy. There will be other thoughts there. Don't worry."
In fact, these guards of the royal palace have always wanted to ask, but they dare not speak. Are the soldiers of Jiaozhou camp we have seen these days all the personal soldiers of the Lord. Lord Li is just a fifth-rank official and can't afford to support two hundred personal soldiers according to the rules?
No matter what the year is, people who enter the twelfth lunar month are always idle. The New Year is the biggest thing in the year. There are 1,200 salt gentry soldiers stationed in two places in Jiaozhou Camp and Fengmeng Town. The remaining salt gentry soldiers are training new soldiers everywhere.
Ten days after the guards of the Zhou royal palace left, Jiaozhou Camp gave Pingdu Prefecture, Jiaozhou, Jimo and Gaomi official documents, saying that the local area was unstable, Jiaozhou Camp decided to suppress the bandits and pacify the thieves, and asked the local area to cooperate and support with all its strength.
