Chapter 276 Strange Things

"Please rest assured, Master Jin, the second master also said that the Mu family had already had the means to deal with it, and that he would be able to follow Gao Sheng when the young man was young." Zheng Quan said with a smile, with a look of anticipation on his face.

Zheng Quan has become the leader of the Xuzhou Association of the Winter Sorting Sect and is also the host. He has the right to do so, so he naturally tastes the benefits and naturally needs to look forward to more.

Zhao Jin could see the other party's change, but Zheng Quan was still at ease at the moment, and there was no need to correct anything. Zhao Jin was also a little distracted at this time. The second uncle of the Mu family should have returned to Shandong, and Xiaolan should be there too. How is she doing now? Will she think of Xuzhou?

Zheng Quan's expression on the other side had become serious, and he deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Before leaving, the second master specially explained to Xiao, saying that the disaster in Shandong last year was a disaster in Jiangbei in Nanzhili. This year, Shandong was still a disaster, and there were signs of disaster here. Now there are many refugees everywhere. If there is another disaster, it is equivalent to adding fuel to the fire. If someone makes trouble, there will inevitably be a big mess. At that time, it will be easy to say that there is a place protected by the city walls, and there may be a big disaster in the countryside."

Zhao Jin nodded calmly, Zheng Quan scratched his head, looking a little inaccurate, and hesitated: "The second master said before leaving. This was said suddenly. Xiaozi thought about it for two days, and always felt that this was not necessarily a saying to Xiaozi, and I'm afraid that Xiaozi would send a message."

It is about Nanzhili, and also about the countryside. Zheng Quan is in the city and contacting various places. This may really mean something.

Zheng Quan said while recalling, saying intermittently: "At that time, Young Master, you led your troops to defeat the Kong family and Yunshan Temple, the second master was full of surprise. He was about to leave that day. When he was leaving, the second master said this."

During the famine and chaos, the sects with ulterior motives will always be extremely active, either tempting desperate people to join, or inciting refugees to rebel, so as to make profits and plot against the world. Since Zhao Jin learned about the Wenxiang Sect and these underground sects, he has heard of the actions of many such organizations.

As a powerful man, Zhao Jin now has the title of maintaining integrity. Whether it is public or private, maintaining stability is necessary. This reminder is of course timely, but this reminder was given by the senior officials of the Scented Incense Sect, which made Zhao Jin feel strange and awkward. And he thought a little deeper. Muwu, the second uncle of the Mu family, could have this reminder. Will he know anything, will the Scented Incense Sect participate in it, or may it be just a speculation to observe the situation.

However, Zhao Jin can be sure of one thing. Mu Wuzhen did this with kindness. He had the fate of Xiaolan and his daughter. Destroying Hejiazhuang was equivalent to avenging the Mu family. If Wenxiang Sect wants to maintain it in Xuzhou, it must also look at Zhao Jin's expression. The credibility of this news is very high.

Zhao Jin was pondering there. Even Zheng Quan was the leader, and he was still a servant in front of Zhao Jin. He didn't dare to disturb him and waited quietly. After a while, Zhao Jin raised his head and said, "Is there any news from Xiaolan? Is she okay?"

Zheng Quan was stunned. He thought Zhao Jin would investigate the news, but he asked Mu Shulan without thinking. When he talked about this, Zheng Quan had a real relaxed smile on his face and said with a smile: "As soon as the second master mentioned the eldest lady, he praised him, saying that no younger generation of the Mu family could compare with the eldest lady. He also said that the master himself opened up a situation alone in Xuzhou, and now the eldest lady is so outstanding, he really treated them unfairly."

As he spoke, Zheng Quan was a little moved and reached out to wipe his eyes, but his words were not very meaningful to Zhao Jin, and he still didn't understand Mu Shulan's recent situation. He couldn't help asking: "Where is she now? What are she doing?"

Zheng Quan was stunned, shook his head and said, "The second master never talks about this. Even if he asks, he just said the previous words, as if he was hiding something."

Seeing his puzzled look, Zhao Jin shook his head helplessly. Zheng Quan was just a master, and it was a bit worse for him to do this, but this was not a bad thing for Zhao Jin.

When talking about Mu Shulan, the atmosphere became softer and relaxed, but there was no topic on both sides to continue. Zheng Quan took a sip of the cold tea and stood up and said, "The little one has a different identity now. Staying here will cause trouble for the young master. Before the day is dark, the little one will rush to the neighboring village to stay."

After saying that, he saluted respectfully again, then turned around and left. As soon as he arrived at the door, he was stopped by Zhao Jin. Zhao Jin paused and smiled and said, "I'm leaving your girl in the city. My mother is a kind person and will not treat you badly. If I want to take your boy with me, I will inevitably have to bump into, get hurt, and get hurt. Don't complain."

Zheng Quan was stunned, then knelt down directly, knocked to the ground with a few heads. When he looked up, he was full of gratitude, and his voice was filled with crying voices.

"Young Master is very kind and kind, and it is hard to repay the young man who is broken into pieces."

"Don't you be crushed to pieces. You smell the incense sect everywhere, with many ears and ears. It's very useful to ask for news. You have to keep a close eye on this refugee or something." Zhao Jin said, and walked forward and pulled Zheng Quan up.

Zhao Jin stared at Zheng Quan and continued sincerely: "I remember clearly the incident of you two going to pick up Xiaolan. I saw you several times a day. I often dreamed in my dreams that we are a family, and only the family members will be sincere.

While speaking, Zhao Jin patted Zheng Quan's shoulder hard. Zheng Quan's tears were already flowing down, but he kept nodding. Zhao Jin turned to Liu Yong and said, "I will arrange someone tomorrow and give Zheng Quan five hundred taels of silver in the city."

Liu Yong agreed there, and before Zheng Quan could express his gratitude, Zhao Jin said again: "Your location will inevitably cost a lot. If you are not easy to leave the public account, just tell me, I'll find a way."

Zheng Quan went out himself, but for the sake of secrets, Zhao Jin and Liu Yong did not go out to send him off, and arranged a cook to lead the way out.

When the door was closed here, Liu Yong smiled and said, "Brother, when you talk about bringing his child with you, Zheng Quan immediately devoted himself to it. His identity as a sect will never be shameful in this life, but he still wants his own children to make a fortune.

Zhao Jin also smiled and nodded. Even if Zheng Quan did not have the identity of the Lord of the Church of Wenxiang, it would be difficult for his children to have a good situation, because they were just slaves of the Mu family, and they were not the kind of family giving birth to children. It would be good to have food and clothing with such an identity.

Following Zhao Jin, not only is the legal identity, but also the care of Zhao Jin can have a good future. At least you can be a good citizen who can be a worry-free person without worrying about being executed by his family.

In addition, as long as you have come into contact with Zhaoziying, you can draw a conclusion that young people who joined Zhaoziying have different spirits from outsiders in a short time and have an uplifting temperament. This temperament has only been seen in everyone's children before. Ordinary people will only feel different when they see these, while keen people will be shocked. Zheng Quanneng is a traitor of the fragrance sect, which is still a little different from ordinary people. Children are hostages by Zhao Jin. But on the other hand, safety is also guaranteed and excellent teachings are also received.

In addition to these reasons, Zhao Jin also thought more deeply. The activities of the Xuzhou Yinxiang Sect are under the gaze of Zhaoziying. There are so much blood and so many lives. Zheng Quan, the leader of the Xuzhou Association, must be in the abyss and trembling. Although Zheng Quan and Zhao Jin have Mu Shulan's connection, Mu Shulan is no longer in Xuzhou, and this connection is illusory and cannot be regarded as a support. However, Zhao Jin takes Zheng Quan's children with him. On the one hand, it is a hostage, and on the other hand, it also proves that the two sides have a closer connection. To this point, the relationship between the past can work.

When his children are sent to Zhao Jin, he will not only receive good care, but his future is guaranteed, and he will also receive Zhao Jin's support. Of course, Zheng Quan will be grateful.

"Zheng Quan is worth our capital now. You can find time to go to the city once, arrange a few trustworthy people to join the Wenxiang Sect, and let Zheng Quan promote two to be the leader." Zhao Jin finally concluded.

At dinner time, Zhao Jin and his brothers sat down and found that Dong Bingfeng had not arrived. They were about to ask where they went, Dong Bingfeng hurried into the house: "Brother, look at the people in the building and said that there were bonfires in Xiaoshitou Village, and you could vaguely see many people busy. I rode a horse and took people over to take a look."

Zhao Jin frowned, put down the bowl and said, "Send orders immediately, all teams should hurry up and eat, gather together after the meal, and ask the village to prepare torches and lanterns."

The other people nodded, finished their meal in a few bites, got up and went to make arrangements. Chen Huang had just put the knife on him, but a servant outside reported, "Master, someone has come from Xiaoshitou Village."

"Zhao Baozheng, everyone, those who bought land asked the village to level a piece of land tonight, and they paid a lot of wages. The villagers were using mills to press the ground, and it was probably going to be a night." Hearing this statement, Zhao Jin and his friends looked at each other.

Just in the quiet, Zhao Jin patted his forehead and said, "This matter is done in a roundabout way. Why don't you think about it? Catch those who buy land and question it, Daxiang, you can go there."

"The people who bought the land left the money and left," said the people from Xiaoshitou Village hesitantly.

It was really strange. Zhao Jin sent away the report and pondered for a moment and said, "A veteran team and four new recruit teams are on standby tonight. Bingfeng, take a few horse-riding people to take a look at Xiaoshitou Village, and then go to the roads around Xiaoshitou Village. Xiaoyong, arrange people to visit each village near each other. In addition, tonight, secret sentries must be arranged on every road around Hejiazhuang, ready to repay at any time. Our brothers will also take turns tonight."

Everyone agreed and went to work hard. They arranged for each team to be on duty at night, and they were two people who were Zhao Jin and Chen Huang, who were at the end.

Chen Huang pondered for a while and said, "If there were really enemies, I'm afraid I wouldn't have come from Xiaoshitou Village. And now on the ground in Xuzhou, who will be enemies with us? The ones who have this ability are the government and the Xu family north of the Yellow River, but there is nothing wrong with it. Could it be that it was arranged by Kong Jiuying, but he can't get through anything except the horse team. This horse team is useless to us."

"It may not be the enemy, it seems like it's urgent to do things and don't care about so much." Zhao Jin said casually.

Everything in Xiaoshitou Village is so ostentatious, and it is done by local Xuzhou businesses. If there are really any plans, it would be too simple.

After saying this, Zhao Jin said again: "We have fewer inquiries and fewer people inform us, so we can only be careful when encountering problems and ensure that we have no flaws and others cannot take advantage of loopholes."

Zhao Jin also went upstairs to take a look. It was indeed brightly lit outside Xiaoshitou Village, and it looked similar to the night battle in Hejiazhuang. It was so vague that many people could be seen busy.

As the night fell, Dong Bingfeng also moved back, saying that the village was indeed busy, and he dug out crops in the fields near the roads in the village and flattened them with a mill. He said that the group who came today gave the wages and firewood money, and said that if the construction was completed tomorrow, there would be another reward, even the elderly, weak, women and children in the village were mobilized. In addition, all roads were very quiet, without any abnormality. Liu Yong also sent out the eyes and ears of the village.

Zhao Jin and the others also noticed one thing. Someone was on the roof near the Mule and Horse Market. Zhao Jin sent someone to ask. The reply from the people there was rarely seeing the neighboring villages tossing at night, so the bosses didn't dare to sleep at night, so they asked all the guys to be on duty with weapons.

This should have been scared by the battle that night, so I had to make preparations in advance. Liu Yong went in and checked it out in person, and only went to work on his own affairs after he came out. The reason why he asked for inquiries was because he was worried that these businessmen in Mule and Horse Market would collude with outsiders.

Zhao Jin fell asleep in his coat that night, and his armor and weapons were placed beside him. He was ready to go out to fight at any time, thinking about who was mysterious, thinking about how Zheng Quan used this resource, and finally thinking about Mu Shulan. He only had the memories of separation, and didn't know how the girl was now, but thinking about it for less than a year of separation, there should be no change. Just as Zhao Jin fell asleep in this random thought.

When he woke up almost the same time as usual, the window paper was already bright. There was nothing wrong that night. Zhao Jin slept well, washed up briefly, put on his armor with the help of the servants. Zhao Jin started patrolling the yard with a spear, and his friends also got up one after another during the patrol.

Everyone felt inexplicably surprised, and they made a big fuss near Zhaoziying but didn't come to say hello. No one would do such a stupid thing on the ground in Xuzhou.

It is best to be safe and sound. According to the secret whistle that was scattered, everything was as quiet as usual. The young and strong village in Xiaoshitou Village is still busy. A large open space has been cleared outside the village. It can be seen how generous the conditions given by the group of people have made the villagers willingly destroy their crops.

"Let the Qi brothers set out into the city as soon as possible and ask Zhao Jing what abnormal movements are there in the city. Xiaoyong, please stay here first and send someone to the nearby villages to inquire." Zhao Jin made the arrangement.

Liu Yong mastered a lot of spies and spys. He was of course the most efficient when he was in charge. He quickly agreed, but he hesitated and said, "Brother, Wang Zhaojing and all the uncles and elders in the city will not say anything if they have anything to do."

"Of course there will be no hidden things on their side, but the situation is really strange at the moment." Zhao Jin said with a wry smile and shook his head.

"Shitou, today you will lead someone to Xiaoshitou Village. If someone comes over there, catch him." Zhao Jin gave another order.

At noon, the nine families who were swallowed yesterday failed to give gifts and sent the information Zhao Jin asked for. What was a bit surprising is that Tianjiazhuang is not the strongest. There are more than 300 male men in their village, while there are almost 600 strong men in the Liujia mine, because the miners are all strong men, and the Lin family also has more than 200 people, and the rest are in different orders.

However, when Liu Yong made a brief conversation yesterday, he already knew the reason why Tian Ying was the leader of Tianjiazhuang. Tian Ying's cousin was a capable clerk in the six-bedroom house in the state yamen, which was considered to be someone on the official side.

Moreover, from this information, we can also see that the literary style of Xuzhou is not strong, and Hejiazhuang is also included. There is only one scholar in these ten places, and this scholar is still Zhou Xuezhi.

"If there is really an urgent matter, laborers from all over the place can make up about 1,500. If you follow the requirements of the servants in the camp, the maximum available is only 700." Zhou Xuezhi commented while recording there.

Information from all over the place was sent, and it was necessary to inquire about the situation everywhere, and nothing unusual was the busyness in Xiaoshitou Village. Everyone went back to rest.

It seems that nothing is wrong, Zhao Ziying's vigilance gradually relaxed, and everything returned to normal.

"We are not short of the income from the market, but we still have to collect the money. Let them know who is the one who is in charge of the market." In the past, He Weiyuan did not allow people from nearby villages to come in to do business, nor did he collect money from the vendors in the market. He just let it go, but Zhao Jin changed this rule.

"Money is not important, but collecting money can reflect that we are here to decide." Hearing Zhao Jin's statement, everyone was thinking.

"Zhou Xuezhi is here to do these things. Xiaoyong, you recruit twenty people in Hejiazhuang and the nine families who have registered, and leave them to Zhou Xuezhi to maintain the market and charge the fees." Zhao Jin arranged for him. Zhou Xuezhi, who was sitting in the bottom of the head, immediately stood up excitedly when he heard this.

"Students must do the errand assigned by Master Jin." Zhou Xuezhi, who was always smart, actually stuttered because he knew that he had received this task, and his status was improved a little in the Zhaoziying system.

Before he could finish his words, everyone looked out the door. Everyone heard the sound of rapid footsteps. Ji Xiang's hand leaning against the door was already placed on the hilt of the knife.

"The little Qi Sanjinjin, and there are a large number of big cars coming towards us. There are a few miles on the road, and there are also many people escorting them." The matter was urgent, and Qi San shouted loudly outside the door.

The Qi brothers were sent to the city to handle the work. Calculate the time, and Qi San was going back and returning.

All the big trucks in the city were hired, Xiaoshitou Village was bought, and the whole village was leveling the land. Then, these large numbers of big trucks were coming here, and these things were contacted at once.

"When you come in and talk, how did you know you are coming to Xiaoshitou Village?"
