Zheng Peng looked at his pitiful appearance and said with a sneer: "Get out! ”

"Yes, yes, get out, get out right now." Guo Tongxiong was really scared now, he didn't dare to say a word, and hurriedly got up and prepared to leave.

This Liangzi is concluded, the gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late, and when Zheng Peng falls or the prince ascends the throne, it is the time for his revenge.

Guo Tongxiong secretly made up his mind in his heart that he would never let Zheng Peng have a good time, and then he would let Zheng Peng cry and beg himself, by the way, he would rob his wife and concubine, and he would be humiliated in front of him in every way, anyway, he didn't remember it for a day or two.

Just when Guo Tongxiong was thinking about it, he suddenly heard Zheng Peng shouting: "Are you deaf, am I telling you to get out and let you walk?" ”

What, get out? Guo Tongxiong froze for a moment, and a look of humiliation suddenly appeared on his face, but when he saw Zheng Peng's contemptuous expression, an old face twitched, gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and rolled from the middle of the road to the side of the road in full view of everyone.

A burst of laughter erupted at the scene, and many people pointed at Guo Tongxiong, making Guo Tongxiong so ashamed that he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground.

Chang'an to Luoyang was originally a traffic artery, just a while, onlookers surrounded the outer three layers and the inner three floors, and saw Zheng Peng domineering Guo Tongxiong teaching a lesson, and many people applauded:

"Isn't that person stupid to be disrespectful to the champion."

"Hey, isn't that a person from the Guo family in your hometown, who dares to block General Zheng's way, and really treats himself as a character."

"General Zheng is a great talent in the Tang Dynasty, and he is still a hero of our Tang Dynasty, when did a little cheap Jia dare to speak at the Marquis, this is a big disrespect, it's just too cheap to whip him twice."

"The case of the attack on the Prince's Mansion, General Zheng seems to be involved, it is said that the attack on the Prince's Mansion was used by General Zheng when he attacked Tubo, this surnamed Guo, seeing General Zheng in distress for a while, relying on the backer to want to be a prestige, I am really tired of it, I don't know that the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse?"

Guo Tongxiong lowered his head, crawled to the side of the road with a pale face, rushed to the next person and grabbed a horse, and without saying a word, he rode on the horse and fled.

This time I miscalculated, I thought that Zheng Peng was made by the great changes, he knew his relationship with the prince, and when he saw that he would lick his face and come over to beg himself, begging himself to intercede with the prince, even if he couldn't let go of his face and begged himself, Zheng Peng, as a celebrity of the Tang Dynasty, had to pay attention to his face in public, but he didn't expect Zheng Peng to say that he would do it, and he didn't save a little face for himself at all.

Guo Tongxiong also has good hands around him, but Guo Tongxiong doesn't dare to fight back, after all, where is Zheng Peng's identity, it's really a big trouble, a big disrespectful charge, even Guo Tongxiong can't bear it.

In the friendly applause of everyone, Zheng Peng took the cardinal and continued to move forward.

"Uncle, I didn't expect you to leave no face for the surname Guo, it is estimated that the fragrant relationship with the Guo family in your hometown has also come to an end." The cardinal drove the horse and walked side by side with Zheng Peng, and suddenly spoke.

Zheng Peng was unusually resolute in the war, and he was not merciful to the enemy, at most, he was out of sight, and when he returned to the Tang Dynasty, he became a humble gentleman, not at all like a general who commanded thousands of troops and horses, and could bury thousands of enemies in a conversation and laughter, and it was the first time for Cardinal to see Zheng Peng so ruthless.

"Incense?" Zheng Peng shook his head and said: "The relationship between people, just like the money stored in the counter, save more to use more, save less and use more, once used up or exceeded, the relationship will be gone, Guixiang Guo is kind to me, but the braised meat business has received unimaginable returns, it can be said that I don't owe them anything, give the new printing technology to Guixiang Guo, help the head of the family Guo Hong return to the court, Guixiang Guo has owed me a lot, and they see the profit and forgetfulness, cross the river and draw the bridge, that little incense has long been gone." ”

Guo Tongxiong has long been unpleasant, and there has been no good reason, but now it's just right, slap him twice to make him sober up, don't move in front of himself to show a good feeling of self, like a fly, and he will be upset when he looks at it.

"The same rice raises a hundred kinds of people, this Guo Tongxiong is far worse than Miss Guo's." Cardinal nodded.

The two chatted while moving forward, did not go far, saw from a distance on the official road in front, many people wanted to move forward along the official road, as if excitedly shouting something, but they were stopped by a group of officials in poor clothes, the two sides seemed to be arguing about something, those officials waved the wooden sticks or horizontal knives in their hands, stopped on the road in front of the people, and faintly heard "to Jingzhao Mansion to complain" and "please be the emperor" and other words.

There was a servant in front of Zheng Peng and signaled Zheng Peng to stop his horse.

"Go around the front, don't stop, lest you be beaten or dragged to the yamen, don't blame no one for reminding you." A national-faced official shouted loudly.

The official just wanted to say a few more words, but when he looked up and found that the person riding the horse was Zheng Peng, he was startled, and hurriedly saluted: "The little one has seen the champion candidate, but I didn't pay attention to it just now, I don't know that it is the champion candidate, and I ask the champion candidate for forgiveness if there is something wrong." ”

The people of Chang'an just don't know who Jing Zhaoyin is, they must know Zheng Peng, and they scolded him without looking at the person just now, which startled the face of the national character.

Zheng Peng said disapprovingly: "Those who don't know are not guilty, you are also performing official duties, by the way, what are those people making trouble?" ”

"This..."The official with the face of the national character hesitated, and secretly glanced at Zheng Peng, looking entangled and embarrassed.

Dai An, who was following Zheng Peng, immediately stepped forward, threw a piece of broken gold to the face of the country, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Didn't you hear my young master ask you, what did you say?" ”

Guozi looked at the broken gold in his hand, was startled, and hurriedly offered it with both hands: "The small one is definitely not what it means, it's just that there are some things that I don't know how to say, and I am lazy for a while, and I ask the champion to take it back." ”

The county officials are not as good as the current management, they are on an errand in Jingzhao Mansion, and the monthly money is much higher than in other places, some businessmen are afraid of trouble, and they like to give benefits to the officials every three or five times, and the national character face has also received other people's "filial piety" on weekdays, however, even if it is to give the national character face two guts, they dare not blackmail Zheng Peng.

Zheng Peng waved his hand and said, "I will never take it back, accept it." ”

"Thank you, champion, for the reward." Guozi said with a smile on his face.

That piece of broken gold doesn't seem to be big, but the weight is not light, it weighs more than two taels, and it costs twenty or thirty yuan when it is exchanged for copper coins, which is worthy of the country's face and a few months' monthly money.

Zheng Peng reined in his horse and asked casually, "What is your name and where do you work?" ”

"If you go back to the champion, the little one is called Jiang Dashu, and he serves as a small official in Jingzhao Mansion."

"It turned out to be someone from Jingzhao Mansion, Jiang Dashu, what are those people doing, it seems to be making a big fuss." Zheng Peng asked with interest.

Jiang Dashu hesitated for a moment, looked at no one on the left and right, and then lowered his voice and said: "Champion Hou, those people are all bitter masters who have been expropriated, saying that Li Linfu, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, abused his power and forced them to sell their fields and land, and suffered heavy losses, and they couldn't fight Li Shilang, so they wanted to go to Jingzhao Mansion to petition together, and there was an order from above to let him go to Chang'an to make trouble, so they stopped them." ”

And what's going on?

Zheng Peng understood the reason why Jiang Dashu wanted to speak and stopped, it is true that the person who requisitioned the land now is Li Linfu, but everyone near Chang'an knows that Li Linfu is the land requisitioned for Zheng Peng, speaking of which, these people are aimed at Zheng Peng, they say that they want to sue Li Linfu, who knows if they will turn the spearhead to Zheng Peng.

"Champion Candidate" Jiang Dashu proposed with some concern: "These are Diao Min, no one knows what they are going to do, when they pass, it is best for Champion Hou to go around a little." ”

"Jiang Dashu, the people are making trouble because of the land requisition issue, they all say that Li Shilang is a humble gentleman, and his reputation in Chang'an is good, that is, the land is requisitioned, I believe that these people will not suffer in terms of price, are these people instigated by people with intentions and deliberately make trouble?" Zheng Peng deliberately pretended to be puzzled.

"A humble gentleman?" When Jiang Dashu heard this, he could easily see his eyes rolling upward, and the corners of his mouth inadvertently showed a hint of ridicule, as if he had heard a big joke, and quickly said disapprehantly: "The champion is not an outsider, the little one can't speak, just say whatever you want." ”

"It should be so, rest assured" Zheng Peng patted him on the shoulder and said encouragingly: "It's okay, if you have anything to say, it doesn't matter if you say it wrong." ”

Jiang Dashu received Zheng Peng's encouragement, and quickly lowered his voice and said: "There is an old saying that people die for money, birds die for food, and money can make ghosts grind, how can Li Shilang be an exception, saying that he is a humble gentleman was before, and now Li Shilang can say that there is no evil in order to collect the land, if he sells the land to him at a low price, it is okay, and if he refuses to sell the land or reduce the price, he will be in all kinds of difficulties. There will be market children or unknown rangers who make trouble every day, some of their homes go on fire in the middle of the night, and some of their homes are found with stolen goods, and their hands and eyes are all over the sky. ”

It is estimated that the piece of broken gold played a role, Jiang Dashu knew everything about Zheng Peng, and said everything he knew.

Zheng Peng said quietly: "Buy land at a low price and requisition land, presumably that squire will not directly offer a low price, there must be a statement, how did Li Shilang explain to those ordinary people?" ”

"It's both soft and hard, first that the land is not good and that is not good, and then it is said that this is the Tang Dynasty genius and the winning general Zheng Peng wants to buy, and selling it cheaper is a tribute to the heroes of the Tang Dynasty, and it is also said that the champion is a celebrity in front of the emperor, and there will definitely be no good fruit to eat if he offends the champion."

Okay, this Li Linfu, he wants to collect money and fame, and he actually uses himself as a shield.

I guessed that Li Ying would do this, okay, I dare to arrange myself on the back.

Zheng Peng picked up the tea in front of him, took a sip slowly, and then continued to ask: "I don't know what kind of price Li Shilang came up to for land acquisition?" ”

"It's hard to say, the main thing is to see what it is, the emperor's relatives, high-ranking officials in the DPRK or people with big backers, the price is high, and some of them exceed the market price, if those powerless and powerless people, they can get half of the land price and laugh, the small one has a relative, the best paddy field, one mu is worth at least twenty yuan, but Li Shilang's people got him into the prison of the yamen, and finally sold seven guan and one acre with tears, alas."

Zheng Peng and Hongyu glanced at each other, and there was a message in both of their eyes: This Li Linfu not only looked ugly, but also did a dirty manner, and splashed a basin of dirty water on Zheng Peng's head silently.

However, Zheng Peng was surprised with a faint hint of excitement, and Li Linfu finally took a step of self-destruction.

"Look, isn't that the champion General Hou Zheng."

"I've seen General Zheng parade, yes, it's him."

"I heard that General Zheng often goes to the construction site of the road to work as a supervisor, and it seems that he is really right."

"By the way, the new road was built by General Zheng, and Li Linfu, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, is to recover the land for General Zheng."

"What about the general? I have long heard that General Zheng has a good way to make money, and the amount of money in his family is uncountable, and he also paid for the fallen soldiers to return to their roots, what a good person, how can he be so ruthless to us ordinary people. ”

"Yes, I can't live, that bit of land is handed down from my ancestors, one mu is worth twenty times, and when the land is acquired, I only give six times, and I say that if I don't buy it, I will bear the consequences, if this will cut off our way of life."

"I used to admire General Zheng very much, he was talented, he had a lot of military achievements, and even Tubo was wiped out, he was a real man and a real hero, but I didn't expect him to be such a person, I was really blind."

"The Lord is here, go, ask him why he is bullying us unarmed people."

"I don't believe in the world, and I can't find a place to reason."

I don't know who started to talk about it, but those ordinary people who wanted to appeal to Jingzhao Mansion collectively swarmed in the direction of Zheng Peng, wanting to ask Zheng Peng for an explanation.

"Champion candidate, it's not good" Jiang Dashu suddenly became nervous, and said loudly while drawing his knife: "These Diao people want to make trouble, please leave first, there are small ones here, if there is any loss, the small ones can't afford it." ”

That group of ordinary people who wanted to appeal, there were more than 100 people with their families, and there were only eight officials who came to maintain order, so many people rushed together, where could they not be stopped, Jiang Dashu suddenly became nervous: Zheng Peng is a celebrity in front of the emperor, and he is also a recognized pillar of the Tang Dynasty, if something happens here, he will definitely be implicated, so he hurriedly urged Zheng Peng to hurry up.

The cardinal tightened the reins with his hand, staring at those who were about to rush over, and at the same time looking at his surroundings, so that he could evacuate as soon as possible.

However, Zheng Peng said without changing his face: "I am not afraid of the shadow, and I haven't done anything wrong, why do you want to run?" If I run like this, then I will confirm the fact that I am using my power for profit, exploiting, and oppressing the people, and I will not leave. ”

If I remember correctly, Li Linfu's action of land acquisition is really fast, from the beginning to the present, he has withdrawn money eight times, Zheng Peng has given enough money every time, and has not made any restrictions, let him play, recently I saw him full of red face, smiling from ear to ear, it is estimated that he has made a lot of profits in land acquisition, and it is cool to make money.

Happy for so long, it's time to add some blockage to him, looking at those people who were surging in emotion, Zheng Peng's eyes rolled, and a subtle sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
