After finishing the activities outside the county, the group discussed and finally returned to the county. In order to avoid startling the snake, everyone decided not to stay at the inn.

An ordinary small county town, there is only one inn. The reason why Wan Quanan and Wan Quanyou two brothers were able to make a lot of money must not be able to escape this reason.

Merchants who came here, whatever goods they carried, always stayed at the inn. And if you have it, you can take the opportunity to select those fat sheep that are suitable for slaughter and inquire about them.

The residents on the western side of the county did not seem to be very wealthy, and the lure of a windfall was enormous. When Tang Ning took out five taels of silver and handed it over and said that he would only borrow it for a few days, looking at the appearance of those residents, he couldn't wait to give the house to Tang Ning directly.

There are a total of three neighboring families, and I don't know if they can be tight-lipped about this matter if they go to live somewhere else, but Tang Ning told him, he felt that these people should not have the leisure and elegance to tell others about it.

It is a fine tradition of Chinese people not to show their wealth, even in front of their relatives, they also like to cry poor.

After the group moved into these three households, they purchased some ingredients and put them in the courtyard. After that, they began to wait for Fang La and them to rush back from Hejian Mansion.

One of the guards would ride out of the city in the early hours of the morning, waiting for Fang La and the others on the road they had to pass through, and he would not return until it was getting dark.

After waiting like this for two days, he finally asked him to wait.

According to Tang Ning's orders, not counting Lao Zhang and Lao Liu, Fang La brought a total of ten people over. These ten people are all good players in the Pingxia camp, and they are all fierce men carefully trained by Gao Shu.

In fact, when he heard Lao Zhang relay Tang Ning's request, Gao Shu also wanted to follow. He has been stationed in Hejian Mansion for most of the year, and he hasn't gone anywhere, to be honest, it's really boring.

He can only train day after day, and now the training intensity of the summer camp is one-third higher than when the summer camp was first formed.

Many of the soldiers who newly joined the Pingxia camp couldn't bear it at all, either gritted their teeth and fought for their lives, or they were kicked out of the Pingxia camp by Gao Shu full of regret.

But to be honest, Gao Shu is not young anymore. He is the same age as Tang Ning, and many times, he doesn't like to toss anymore. So in the end, he still didn't follow, and only sent his deputy Shi Guangde to lead more than ten people to support.

The group traveled day and night, riding fast horses all the way from Hejian Province to here. I rested for one night on the way, and the rest of the time I was on my way.

Lao Zhang and Lao Liu were still worried about whether Hou Ye would leave first, but they saw the guards who had been waiting for them for a long time at the intersection. The group changed their costumes outside the city and entered the city in disguise as Jianghu people.

Then came all the way to the place where Tang Ning lived, and when Fang La saw Tang Ning, he said with some excitement: "Family master! ”

Tang Ning waved his hand and said, "Come in and talk." ”

After that, he took Fang La into the house.

There was a large kang in the room, and a small square table on the kang, on which were several letters, two of which seemed to have been opened.

Tang Ning pointed to one of the letters and said: "There is bad news, your grandfather's physical condition does not seem to be very good recently, and he has been sick since he contracted a cold a few days ago, although the family takes good care of him, but ......

Alas, you should know it too. At his age, as long as he is sick, it is not a question of whether to take care of him or not. ”

Fang La clenched his fist, then released it. pursed his lips and said: "The villain understands that grandpa is eighty-five this year, and it is not easy to live to this age. ”

Tang Ning patted Fang La's shoulder and said: "It's good if you can figure it out, I know that you and your grandfather have a good relationship, your parents abandoned you, and it was his old man who raised you to adulthood, I'm afraid that you won't be able to figure it out, and then you will be too sad and hurt your body." ”

"It's just that this time is not very good, now is the time for you to make a big difference, if the villain can't be by your side because of this matter, help you......"

Tang Ning smiled and said, "Don't say this kind of thing, when is your family always the most important." After that, without waiting for Fang La to continue to pick up the stubble, Tang Ning changed the topic and said, "Okay, now let's talk about the reason for calling you over." ”

Subsequently, Tang Ning talked about the collusion between the two brothers of the Wan family and the county master, as well as Yan Zhigang, the transfer envoy of Hebei East Road.

Fang La was filled with righteous indignation when he heard it, he had never had a good impression of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, not to mention that Yan Zhigang's criminal salty pig hands had reached his head.

From the time when the Zhenguo Army was still the Zhenjiang Army, Fang La had already joined it, and watched all the way how Tang Ning turned this ordinary army into the important weapon of the country today.

He has a very deep affection for the Zhenguo Army, and there are 60,000 soldiers in the Zhenguo Army, not to mention all of them, at least half of them are the ones he can name.

Now that Yan Zhigang has done such a heartbreaking thing, Fang La will definitely not be able to accept it. After listening to Tang Ning, he slapped the table and said angrily: "Where is this fang now?!" I'm going to kill this with my own hands! ”

"Don't rush yet." Tang Ning held down Fang La, shook his head and said, "That Yan Zhigang dares to do this kind of thing, and he hasn't been discovered for so long, which is enough to show that he is an old fox."

To deal with this kind of person, you can't be in a hurry. We have to have enough evidence, and it's better to catch him, otherwise, he will have a way to break the game, and we will be helpless. ”

"And let him continue to get away with it now?"

"Definitely, when is the next time the Zhenguo Army will receive supplies?"

"Every two months, it's July...... There will be another supply in early August

。 ”

"Just this once, catch him and leave him speechless."

"But what are we going to do?"

"Just ...... like this"

………………………………

From mid-July to the end of July, fifteen days was actually enough for Tang Ning and the others to do a lot of things.

For example, Zhao Tong ordered the whole army to advance towards Ruzhou, but the speed of advance was very slow.

For example, more than a dozen brothers in Pingxia Camp have figured out the trajectory of the county master's movements, and at the same time, there are four people in two shifts, who are specially responsible for monitoring Wan Quanyou to see if he has the possibility of running to tell Yan Zhigang.

Time passed day by day, and finally it was the beginning of August.

The Privy Council was very dissatisfied with the recovery of the sixteen states of Yanyun, because they believed that the Liao State had deployed 300,000 heavy troops in the eight remaining states in the west, and it was difficult to rely on the 60,000 soldiers of the Zhenguo army to fight the enemy.

At the same time, the Song and Liao were still in a state of alliance, and if force was used, it was very likely that the Liao State would be pushed into the arms of the Jin.

It wasn't a good decision, but the officials insisted on it. Therefore, they have no choice but to do their own work, and the food and salary that should be allocated to the Zhenguo Army will not be less at all.

The army transporting food and wages was about 3,000 people, all of whom were soldiers near Kaifeng Prefecture, and there was no talk of organization and discipline.

According to the route arranged by the Hebei East Road transfer envoy, the troops will arrive near the county seat tomorrow.

Wan Quan'an stood tremblingly in front of Tang Ning, fine beads of sweat on his forehead.

"The county lord is really good to you, and he didn't release you until today?" Looking at Wan Quan'an, who was obviously fat, Tang Ning smiled: "It seems that the food in the prison is good, and it has made you fat." ”

Wan Quanan's smile was uglier than crying, and he wrinkled his face and said, "Master Hou, don't make fun of the villain......

"Okay, then let's not talk about that." Tang Ning knocked on the table twice, pursed his lips and said, "So the county lord informed you that you should be ready, gather manpower, and 'unload' tomorrow?" ”

"Yes......" Wan Quanan nodded hurriedly: "After he finished talking to the villain, he released the villain." When the villain went to find Quanyou, the villain's brother, he met your brother-in-law.

So the villain hastened to ask him to bring the villain to you and tell you about it. ”

"Got it." Tang Ning stood up, patted Wan Quan'an on the shoulder and said, "Go ahead, don't arouse the suspicion of others." You're doing a good job, Ben Hou wrote it down. ”

"Yes!" Wan Quanan was overjoyed when he received Tang Ning's affirmation, and left the small courtyard with his eyebrows fluttering.

Tang Ning looked at Wan Quanan's back, silent, and didn't know what was going on in his heart.
