Chapter 39: Sanzhuang is in trouble

Li Nan didn't know how much money the Zhu family had been cheated by Hu Zhixian and the money owner, but if he could take Zhu Biao away from these two old foxes, it would definitely cost a lot of money.

Zhujiazhuang did take two ways to do it together, three hundred armored soldiers riding fast horses wanted to attack the farm outside Li Nancheng, but there were more than 70 archers in charge, they didn't get any bargains, if they didn't see the opportunity to escape quickly, it is estimated that they would have suffered heavy casualties.

-------------------

At this time, in the meeting hall of Zhujiazhuang, important figures such as the Zhu family, the Li family and the owners of the three villages of the Hu family gathered here, and the one kneeling in the middle of the hall was Zhu Biao, who was redeemed and bought.

Sitting at the top of the left is the owner of Li Jiazhuang, called Li Ying, who smiled and asked Zhu Chaofeng: "Zhu Zhuang master, you are in a hurry to call us all over, what is the big thing?" ”

"Alas! It's hard to say at this time! ”

Zhu Chaofeng sighed, pointed to Zhu Biao who was kneeling on the ground and said: "I, a rebel, broke into trouble in Yanggu County and was arrested by the recently appointed Li Dutou. ”

"What!" Hearing this, everyone from the Li family and the Hu family was shocked.

Hu Taigong, the owner of Hujiazhuang, seemed to be a little unconvinced that Zhu Biao would be so stupid, and hurriedly asked: "Could it be that the three of us are selling illicit salt, and now the government knows about it?" ”

Zhu Chaofeng couldn't face the eyes of Li Ying and Hu Taigong, his son was too angry, he had a hard time, so he could only respond helplessly: "That's right, not only the matter of trafficking in illicit salt, but also... Even the fact that we killed those greedy county lieutenants was leaked. ”

"Shhh

This time, the people of the Li family and the Hu family gasped together, and even the people in Zhujiazhuang who heard the news for the first time also looked frightened.

Although the Great Song Dynasty is now corrupt in the imperial court, and corrupt officials are rampant, it is still easy to send troops to exterminate the tens of thousands of people in the three Zhuangzi.

"Zhu Chaofeng, you really raised a good son!" Li Ying stood up angrily, pointed at Zhu Chaofeng and said, "Tell me, what should we do in Sanzhuang now?" ”

The kind-hearted Duke Hu also turned pale after knowing the bad news, and sighed: "I wish the owner of the village, your good son is really harmful!" ”

Li Ying and Hu Taigong were emotional, and Zhu Chaofeng hurriedly said: "The two owners are angry, things are actually not bad to that point. ”

Hujiazhuang originally had a very good relationship with Zhujiazhuang, and Hu Sanniang also signed a marriage contract with Zhu Biao, but this matter is related to the lives of the people of the whole village, Hu Taigong's eldest son Hu Cheng couldn't help but say angrily: "Your dog son has put everyone in a desperate situation, and there will be an army of the imperial court to come to ask for it in the near future, and seeing that tens of thousands of families in Sanzhuang are about to be wiped out, isn't this serious?" ”

If in the past, Hu Cheng, a junior, dared to say this, Zhu Chaofeng would definitely not spare him, but today he is really at a loss.

Zhu Chaofeng patiently explained: "Although my rebel son has done a big mistake, fortunately, Hu Zhixian and others who know about it are greedy for money. They put forward a few conditions, as long as our Sanzhuang is willing to give fifty percent of the profits of private salt every year, then they will keep silent about this matter. ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone began to think about the pros and cons of this matter.

After half a ring, Hu Tai said openly: "If you can exchange fifty percent of the silver money for the peace of Sanzhuang, you can agree, but I heard you just now, the dog official seems to have other conditions, and if there is anything else, you can just say it." ”

Zhu Chaofeng glanced at the expressions of the other two owners, and continued stubbornly: "In addition to the private salt sharing, the three of us will also transfer 3,000 armor guards to lend to the capital Li Nanqing to suppress the bandits and bandits in the area of Dongping Mansion, of which 500 need to be cavalry. ”

"This is not possible!" Li Ying said resolutely: "It's okay to take some money to block the mouths of those corrupt officials, but our Li family's Zhuang soldiers will definitely not lend it!" ”

Zhu Long, the son of the Zhu family, had already held back the fire in his belly, and couldn't help but say loudly at this time: "Master Li Zhuang, you are too much to treat yourself as a character, now it is a man who is a knife and I am a fish and meat, if we don't agree to their conditions, it will be a disaster to destroy the family!" ”

"Fart! If it weren't for your cowardly brother, would it be what it is now? ”

Zhu Long and Zhu Hu took a step forward, clenched their fists and said, "Li Ying, you speak politely!" ”

"You two puppies dare to talk to me like that!"

Li Yingzheng was about to teach these two juniors a lesson, but when he noticed that Luan Tingyu, the number one master of Zhujiazhuang, was looking at him with burning eyes, he couldn't help but hesitate a little in his heart.

Fortunately, Hu Taigong noticed the dispute between Li Ying and the Zhu family, and said in a loud voice in displeasure: "Okay, okay!" When is it, and you still have the leisure to fight? ”

"Don't make trouble!" Zhu Chaofeng also shouted at Zhu Long and the others.

Although everyone calmed down, the opinions of the three families were still unanimous, Zhu Chaofeng and Hu Taigong were inclined to agree to all conditions to keep them safe, but Li Ying did not want to lend his own soldiers.

Just when everyone was deadlocked, Zhu Biao, who was kneeling in the hall, proposed: "We have a lot of soldiers and horses in Sanzhuang, as long as we rush into the county seat and kill all those officials, won't it be done once and for all?" ”

Li Ying sneered: "It's easy to kill people, but do you dare to guarantee that this matter will not be leaked?" Do you know where your handwritten confession is? ”

Zhu Biao said with a fierce look on his face: "Kill all the beauties, relatives and friends of Hu Zhixian, Qian Zhu Bo and Li Nan, the dog thief, and then set fire to their mansions, even if they hide things well, they will be burned to ashes!" ”

"Childish!" Hu Sanniang, who is not very old, tall and beautiful, spit out two words in her mouth.

Looking at Zhu Biao, who had already made a marriage contract with her, she said with disdain: "You want to get it, do you think those people in Huzhi County can't think of it?" If my expectations are correct, they will definitely hand over the evidence to their inconspicuous henchmen, and if they have three longs and two shorts, someone will hand over these things to the imperial court, so as to threaten our Sanzhuang people. ”

Zhu Biao stiffened his neck and said, "What do you little lady know, it's just your crankiness." ”

"Alas!"

Hearing Zhu Biao's words, Zhu Chaofeng couldn't help sighing, his youngest son is not only greedy for money and lustful, but also brave and resourceless, compared to Hu Sanniang, he is simply a stupid pig.

She was right. When I went to the county government to ransom you, Hu Zhixian hinted that if the three of them were in any danger, this crime written by you would be handed over to Zhizhou, and what was waiting for us at that time would be the army of thieves from the imperial court. ”

Although everyone discussed for a long time, it was a pity that at the moment there were only two ways to accept the other party's request in full, or to flee with their families, and after weighing the pros and cons, the three Zhuang lords could only grit their teeth and agree to all the conditions put forward by Hu Zhixian and others.

Now that the matter has been settled, Li Ying, Hu Taigong and others, who are full of resentment towards the Zhu family in their hearts, do not want to continue to stay in Zhujiazhuang.

Before leaving, Hu Sanniang suddenly said to Hu Taigong in public: "Daddy, my daughter feels that she has poor moral integrity and ability, and she is not worthy of the third lang of the Zhu family, so I implore my father to agree, so I will cancel this marriage." ”

The Zhu family was originally the most powerful in Sanzhuang, and then married the Hu family, this matter has long made Li Ying jealous, hearing Hu Sanniang's words, he hurriedly said: "What the virtuous niece said is reasonable, Brother Hu, I think this proposal is feasible." ”

Hu Taigong thought that Zhujiazhuang would be taken over by a fool like Zhu Biao in the future, not to mention what help he could have at that time, I was afraid that his family would be pitted to death, so it was better to draw a line with them as soon as possible.

"I wish the owner, what the little girl said is right, our Hu family will not climb high, and I will let Hu Cheng send the dowry back overnight, and we will leave!"

Hearing that Hu Taigong was angry and wanted to dissolve the marriage contract, he hurriedly wanted to persuade him, but he didn't want Hu Taigong and Li Ying and others to leave without looking back.

Looking at the Li family and the Hu family in the distance, Zhu Chaofeng slapped Zhu Biao hard: "You rebel ......"
