The heavens start from Maoshan

Just as he was talking, there was a noise from the rice noodle shop opposite.

Zhang Heng didn't care at first, but after a while, the gun was fired.

"Go and see what's going on?"

Zhang Heng instructed Dakui.

Dakui strode away, and came back not long after, whispering: "It is said that he is the son of the new magistrate, and he does not give money for eating jelly."

"The county magistrate won't give you money for eating jelly?"

Zhang Heng narrowed his eyes slightly.

After a while, he instructed, "Call the Master and go take a look."

When Zhang Heng arrived with someone, a young man in the jelly shop said loudly, "Some people said that the county magistrate came to Goose City to give us justice."

"We said yes."

"Now, the county magistrate's son eats two bowls of noodles, but is only willing to pay for one bowl."

"Is it fair to deny a bowl of jelly?"

A young man was arguing: "Fart, I just ate a bowl of noodles and gave me money for a bowl of noodles, why isn't it fair?"

The young man grabbed forward, grabbed the shopkeeper of the jelly shop and asked, "You said, one bowl of noodles, or two bowls?"

"Two bowls."

The shopkeeper said tremblingly, "It's really two bowls, and he only gave money for one bowl."

"Did you hear it?"

The young people raised their arms and shouted: "The county magistrate does not give money for food. Do you think he can give us justice for such a county magistrate?"

"cannot!"

Someone in the crowd shouted.

"Okay, okay, I see it, you people are all bad people."

The young man pulled out a dagger: "Isn't it ruthless, believe it or not, I will open my stomach so you can see how many bowls of noodles there are?"

boom! !

As soon as the voice fell, there was another gunshot in everyone's ears.

Looking back, I saw a young man in a white robe and a jacket, holding a box gun in his hand.

What makes people strange is that this gentleman's clothes are actually embroidered with gossip patterns. Could he be a Taoist priest?

"Who are you, do you know who I am?" The young man said loudly when he saw someone disturbing the scene, "I'm Hu Wan, the big housekeeper of the Huang family, are you tired of living?"

"Huang Mansion, such a big name!"

Zhang Heng threw the box cannon to Dakui, and said coldly: "I am Zhang Heng, the patriarch of the Zhang family in Dagou Town. Practice at home."

Upon hearing this.

There was a lot of discussion.

"The Zhang family in Dagou Town, isn't that the Tuba King of Yangjiang County next door?"

"Yeah, why did they come to Goose City?"

"Hey, Mr. Huang has kicked the iron plate this time. I heard that the Zhang family in Dagou Town is incredible. There are several hundred militiamen in their hands, all made in Germany, as well as machine guns and small artillery. ."

"Master Huang is not bad here. There are hundreds of family members in the Huang family, and they are fierce."

"Go, go, the Zhang family's militia group is based on the regular army, and the hundreds of Huang family's servants, what to fight with others."

Listening to everyone's discussion, Hu Wan folded his fists: "Master Zhang, my Huang family and your Zhang family have always kept water from the well, and the two sides are not too far apart. For the sake of a foreign county magistrate, not so much. ?"

Zhang Heng smiled coldly: "I don't rub sand in my eyes, and I hate being bullied by others."

After he finished speaking, he turned to look at the young man: "Boy, you have taken his word. He has negotiated with the jelly seller, and he is waiting for you to open your stomach to prove yourself."

Looking up and down the young man's eyes, he said again: "How did your father teach you, you unrealistic thing, you can still survive when you open your stomach and take out the jelly from your stomach?"

"Good lesson!"

A valiant middle-aged man came out of the door: "My lord, Ma Bangde, the county magistrate of Echeng County, thank you very much, this time thanks to my brother."

Chapter 27: Windfall

"Patriarch Zhang, I heard that you came back from Nanyang?"

Inside Rongguzhai.

This was the first sentence Ma Bond said after the two sat down.

"Mayor, have you heard my story?"

"I did hear some, and I know that you did a good job in Dagou Town, and you are very popular."

When Ma Bond said this, his voice suddenly changed: "Have you heard anyone say that there is a man named Zhang Mu in the Zhang family. His family lives in Jingshui Hutong, and there is an old well at the door."

Zhang Heng shook his head slightly.

Seeing this, Ma Bangde felt a little regretful, and said: "It's normal if you haven't heard of it. This Zhang Mu, who had no father or mother since he was a child, went to Xiguang with a traveling merchant to seek a living. Later, he even followed Huguo in Xiguang. General, let him be the captain of the pistol, after all, it was all 30 years ago."

Zhang Heng squinted his eyes, looked at the melancholy Ma Bond, and asked, "This Zhang Mu is still alive?"

"Alive."

Ma Bond nodded immediately, and then sighed again: "It's a pity that he didn't become a talent, he always thought he could do a great job, but in the end he found that he couldn't do anything, and after the death of General Protector, he would be even less successful, and he was willing to degenerate. , became a horse bandit, and later he was nicknamed Zhang Mazi in Jianghu."

Zhang Heng asked: "But Zhang Mazi, who travels across the southern country, comes and goes like the wind, has seven core members, and 24 peripherals, who has been frightening the people of the southern country who are engaged in the tobacco business?"

"It's him, I didn't expect Patriarch Zhang to have heard of it."

Ma Bond smiled bitterly.

"Brother Clan, why don't you go home and have a look after you have been away for 30 years?"

Zhang Heng grabbed Ma Bond's hand.

"Patriarch Zhang, what is this for?"

Ma Bond was startled: "Did you admit the wrong person?"

"Brother, how could I admit my mistake, you, you won't pretend to be confused!"

Zhang Heng took Ma Bond's hand and shook it vigorously twice.

"Am I not pretending to be confused?"

Ma Bond is very suspicious.

Zhang Heng shook his head: "You can talk about what happened 30 years ago as if it were yesterday. If I don't know who you are anymore, it will be a waste of my head."

"allow!"

Ma Bond slapped the table: "As expected of the head of the clan, it's true to see people. When I beat my mother's womb, the fortune teller pointed to my mother's belly and said that the biggest disadvantage of this child in the future is that he will not pretend to be confused."

Zhang Heng asked back: "Then should I call you Ma Bangde, Ma County Magistrate, or Zhang Mu, Zhang County Magistrate?"

"Just call me Zhang Muzhi."

Zhang Muzhi explained: "After I followed General Huguo, the general changed my name and added a zigzag. I hope that I will be able to be both civilized and martial, and the military and civilians of Muyi Prefecture in the future."

"Nama Bond..."

"died."

Zhang Muzhi said again: "I heard that Ma Bangde is nicknamed Ma Papi, who is best at scavenging people's fat and cream, so I killed him and let him go to waste the people. I left the Goose City and became Ma Bond, and came to take office."

Although Zhang Mazi is a bandit.

But he only robbed the ill-gotten wealth, and specifically attacked the people who sold tobacco soil.

When he came to Goose City this time, he aimed at Huang Shilang, the king of smoke and soil, and planned to use his status as the county magistrate to fight him.

"Going around and making a fuss, I didn't expect it to be my own!"

Zhang Heng looked at Zhang Muzhi's eyes closer and closer: "No wonder God wants to lend my hand to protect Xiao Liuzi. It turned out that he wanted us to recognize each other."

Hearing the word recognition, Zhang Muzhi stood up and clasped his fists: "Zhang Family in Dagou Town, Zhang Muzhi, has met the patriarch."

"Clan brother, sit, sit, sit."

Zhang Heng took Zhang Muzhi and sat down: "You are older than me, and you followed the general protector of the country back then, so don't call me the patriarch. If you look down on me, just call me Ah Heng."

No matter how Zhang Muzhi is said, he is still in the Zhang family. How can he call his patriarch Ah Heng? He doesn't have this seniority.

After thinking about it, Zhang Muzhi took a trick and said with a smile, "I'll still call you Brother Heng, we are the same generation, and you are the head of the Zhang family. In terms of clan, you are half a generation older than me, so let's just talk about it. Come by the rules."

Zhang Heng didn't refuse.

Because in the clan, as long as you are of the same generation as him, you are either calling him the patriarch or Brother Heng, even if you are in your seventies or eightys and your seniority is low, you can't escape this rule.

what!

Zhang Heng suddenly remembered something.

In "Let the Bullets Fly", Huang Shilang has a sum of money hidden in the lobby of the county government office.

This amount of money is worth 80 oceans.

"Brother, you came to Goose City to bring down Huang Shilang?"

"Correct."

"Have you figured out what to do?"

"Still thinking."

"Is that so..."

Zhang Heng's heart moved slightly, and he whispered: "I got a secret report that Huang Shilang, the current head of the four major families in Goose City, is cautious by nature and can't trust banks and bank numbers, so his money is hidden by himself, and one of them is a fortune. , it is hidden under the wooden board in the lobby of the county government office."

"Really?"

Zhang Muzhi was stunned.

He had lived in the county government for a few days, and he didn't even know that such a thing happened. Instead, he was worried about bringing down Huang Shilang. He was in Baoshan and didn't know it.

"Brother Heng, how much is this money?"

Zhang Muzhi came to Goose City to engage Huang Shilang, and Huang Shilang's money could not be left for him.

"This number."

Zhang Heng made a gesture of eight.

"Eighty thousand?"

Zhang Muzhi asked tentatively.

"It's 80. Huang Silang sells tobacco and soil for a living. This number is not much more."

Zhang Heng knew that he had the money because he had seen the bullet fly.

According to the plot, it won't take long for Huang Shilang to use the money, so now is the only chance for Huang Shilang to suffer a dumb loss.

The reason why I told Zhang Muzhi was because his current status was the county magistrate of Echeng, and he lived in the county government office.

Without his cover, it would be impossible to get money without knowing it. After all, the county government hall is not an ordinary place, and 80 oceans are not a small amount.

"Brother, you are the county magistrate, and the money is in the county hall."

"If we cooperate, we can get money without anyone noticing it. Everything is divided into two parts, and no one takes advantage of the other. What do you think?"

Unrighteous wealth, don't want it in vain.

Zhang Heng felt that Zhang Muzhi would not refuse, because as far as he knew, Zhang Muzhi liked to rob the rich and help the poor.

Account split? "

Zhang Mazi refused after thinking about it: "No, if I didn't hear from you, I wouldn't know that the wealth is buried under my feet. In addition, you saved the life of Xiaoliuzi, and I'm still human if I share the debt with you?"

"What do you mean by clan brother?"

"Twenty-eight cents, I'll give you eight, just leave a mouthful of soup for me to drink. To be honest, if I wasn't really short of money right now, I wouldn't want either of the two. I, Zhang Muzhi, traveled south and north, and what I believed in should not be taken. If I don't take it, I'm already ashamed of taking [-]% ​​of it."

Zhang Muzhi's tone was firm.
