How could Cao Dongdong let go of Fu Shichun, his military strategist? When he was in the police station, many of the crooked ideas came from Fu Shichun.
Fu Shichun may look harmless, but his methods are quite cruel and he has a very strong desire for revenge.
However, this time Cao Dongdong's methods were even more ruthless. He directly targeted Fu Shichun's father. The Fu family also had some business in Hezhong Prefecture. He told Fu Shichun's father that if Fu Shichun went with them, he could also take care of his own business.
Everyone in the Fu family thought that what Cao Dongdong said made sense. The key point was that the Royal Police was indeed quite powerful now, and perhaps they could gain fame and fortune in their career.
Therefore, under the pressure of the family elders, Fu Shichun had no choice but to join the Royal Police as the adjutant beside Cao Dongdong, and he and Ma Xiaoyi were one civil and one military.
It's really like three heads of a cobbler.
Gradually, it was already dawn, but Niu Beiqing, Li Si and the others were still moving things in the yard until Cao Dongdong's horse fell asleep.
Ma Xiaoyi was really drunk, and said weakly: "Third brother, how much stuff are you going to take with you?"
Zhang Fei said embarrassedly: "This is the last car, the last car."
Cao Dongdong lay on the horse's back and said, "Zhang San, if you are so rich, why don't you go to Hezhong Prefecture to buy it?"
...
...
Zhang Fei said awkwardly: "You guys go wait for me in front of the city gate first. If you argue with me here, it will be easier to make mistakes and it will take longer."
Cao Dongdong stood up and said, "Xiao Ma, let's go. It's getting really anxious just looking at it."
Ma Xiaoyi couldn't bear it anymore, so he rode away with Cao Dongdong and Fu Shichun.
In fact, Zhang Fei had no choice. All of this was prepared by Gao Wenyin. Gao Wenyin had never traveled far, but she had considered everything very carefully and even brought pots, pans, and utensils with her.
After a busy period, they finally went out at Xu Zun's urging. After all, in ancient times, people had to calculate the time when traveling, and there were no inns along the way.
"How about I go back and see if I missed anything?"
Before getting on the carriage, Gao Wenyin was still uneasy.
"Sister Gao, we have everything. Please come up quickly."
Xu Zhiqian was so anxious that she pulled Gao Wenyin onto the carriage.
Xu Zun stood in front of the door and laughed helplessly.
Mu Zhen pursed her lips and smiled, "This is the first time my sister is going away from home, this is inevitable."
She and Gao Wenyin have always stayed at home and have a very good relationship.
Xu Lingxiao said, "Why didn't you act like this the last time we went on a long trip?"
Mu Zhen glanced at her husband in reproach.
Zhang Fei stood in front of the door, bowed and said, "Father-in-law, I am leaving. During this time, I would like to trouble my elder brother and sister-in-law to take good care of you at home."
Mu Zhen smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, don't worry, I will take good care of Dad."
Xu Zun chuckled and said, "Don't worry about me. Be careful on the road."
As a family, they travel around a lot all year round, so they are used to going on long journeys and don't feel too reluctant to leave.
Instead, Gao Wenyin sat in the carriage and shed a few tears. In her heart, she really didn't want to leave home. The farthest place she had ever been to in her life was from outside the city to inside the city.
After saying goodbye, Zhang Fei got on his horse and slowly drove towards the west gate.
When they arrived at the city gate, Cao Ping was not there. After all, he was from a military family, and their son was going on a long journey, so they just had to see him off at the gate. The only people who came to see him off were Ma Tianhao, Fan Li, Fan Zheng, Chen Maoqian and other businessmen.
Cao Dongdong, Ma Xiaoyi and Fu Shichun did not bring any family members with them; they were all maids and idlers.
But since Zhang Fei had been delayed at home for a long time, he just said a few brief words and then left. He had already made clear what he needed to say.
Several old men on the city wall were watching them leave. They were Meng Gansheng and others.
"Finally, we got rid of this brat."
"Do you think they can succeed this time?"
"They are just a few kids, and they want to build a public security, procuratorial and judicial system in Hezhong Prefecture. Haha, if they succeed, then why would we be officials? We should just go home and farm."
"Whether it succeeds or not, let's not talk about it for now. It's good enough to come back alive."
"oh?"
"Don't forget, that kid has harmed many people! In the capital, no one dares to touch him, but if he goes to Hezhong Prefecture, it's hard to say what will happen!"
On a small hill outside the city to the west, Sima Guang stood in front of a small pavilion, looking at
After leaving the capital, Cao Dongdong, Ma Xiaoyi and Niu Beiqing ran all the way like wild horses.
Especially Niu Beiqing, this guy has been guarding the Zhang family for a year. He has been feeling depressed and finally wants to breathe some fresh air.
Sima Guang was countless times better than Wang Anshi in employing people and basically never made a mistake. This time was undoubtedly his most daring one.
This lineup really made Sima Guang doubt whether he had arranged all this.
Wen Yanbo, who came with him, said with a smile: "Junshi! Things have come to this point, worrying is useless. There is a saying that goes, trust people when you employ them, and don't employ people you don't trust."
Sima Guang smiled bitterly and said, "I am asking for trouble."
"Mr. Sima!"
Suddenly, I heard someone shouting from the foot of the mountain.
Sima Guang looked down, but saw Liu Shu coming up, and couldn't help wondering why he was here too.
Liu Shu has always disliked Zhang Fei, so it is impossible for him to come and see him off.
After a while, Liu Shu came to the pavilion, panting slightly, and said, "Duke Wen, Sima Xueshi, I just received news that the Regulations Office of the Two Governments is revising a decree on borrowing."
"The decree of loan?"
Sima Guang was slightly stunned.
Liu Shu said: "It seems that the court wants to lend money to rural households to stop those usurious loans."
"What?"
Sima Guang and Wen Yanbo were both shocked.
Wen Yanbo asked again: "Is the news true?"
Liu Shu said: "The news should be correct, but the specific regulations are still unclear."
"Is he crazy?"
Sima Guang was furious. "No, I have to go find him and ask him for clarification."
Just as he was about to go down the mountain, he heard a bell ringing on the road. He turned his head and saw Zhang Fei riding a horse, driving slowly westward with his two beautiful wives.
Then he thought of Zhang Fei's worry, that is, he was afraid that Zhang Fei would lose his patience and give up, causing the entire judicial reform to fail. He thought, maybe the news was wrong, so he would wait and see.
In fact, Zhang Fei had already made up his mind that he would definitely go out this year, because he knew very well that with the introduction of the Qingmiao Law and the Shiyi Law, it would be difficult for him to stay in the capital and eat at three other people's homes. Even if he talked to the sky, it would be impossible for him to make Sima Guang, Wen Yanbo and others accept the Qingmiao Law. At the same time, there was no way to stop Wang Anshi from promulgating the Qingmiao Law.
You will not be able to please both sides.
He could only use this method to delay Sima Guang first, and make him stay in the court to fight with Wang Anshi. He must not leave, because once Sima Guang escaped, Wang Anshi would be the only one in power in the court.
What Wang Anshi advocated was legalism, not the legal system, which aimed to accomplish reforms by force.
Then his life will be very difficult.
In addition, Zhang Fei did not stop Gao Wenyin from taking all the pots and pans with her because he still wanted to arrive later so that everyone could walk slowly, enjoying the mountains and rivers while traveling.
They chose to take the Luoyang route and played in Luoyang for four or five days. Zhang Fei finally understood why Cao Dongdong and his friends did not bring their families. They visited almost all the brothels along the way and really experienced all kinds of customs.
Of course Zhang Fei did not accompany them, but accompanied Gao Wenyin and Xu Zhiqian to appreciate the flowers. Luoyang's flower market is truly famous throughout the country.
After walking for more than twenty days, they finally arrived at the territory of Shaanxi Road.
In the afternoon, after a heavy rain, a rainbow appeared in the sky.
Cao Dongdong and Ma Xiaoyi came out of a dilapidated temple burping. They saw blue smoke coming out of the temple and dark clouds covering the sky ahead. They chose to rest in the temple, eat something and wait until the rain stops before continuing their journey.
Taozi came over immediately and said, "Yanei, Pinglu County is just ahead, but we have to hurry, otherwise we won't be able to catch up before dark."
Cao Dongdong turned around and shouted into the temple: "Zhang San, hurry up, we have to get to Pinglu County ahead before dark."
“Here it comes!”
"Xiao Ma, I don't like Madam Gao anymore." Cao Dongdong complained, "She's so slow. Madam Xu is better. She's just like us men. She never does things without water."
Ma Xiaoyi said unhappily: "Brother, Third Brother's wife, what do you like to do?"
Fu Shichun chuckled twice: "Xiao Ma, when you get married in the future, he will like it too."
Cao Dongdong snorted, "I don't like your wife."
Fu Shichun said: "But I like your wife."
“Cough cough cough!”
Zhang Fei came out of the temple and said, "Can you guys pay attention to your image?"
Cao Dongdong said: "It's not all your fault. You've been so slow. If it weren't for you, we would have arrived half a month earlier. Let's go, let's go."
The group got on the carriage and continued on their journey.
But after walking for a while, he stopped again.
Xu Zhiqian in the car asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhang Fei said, "It seems that there is a carriage stuck in the road ahead."
Xu Zhiqian lifted the curtain slightly and saw two big men in front pushing a carriage on the muddy and narrow road, and one of the wooden wheels of the carriage was completely stuck in the mud.
Cao Dongdong was in a hurry to travel, so he quickly asked a few idle men to go over and help.
Taozi immediately walked over with the two idle men.
When the two big men saw someone coming to help, they thanked them repeatedly.
Taozi bent down and put his hands on the rear pillar of the carriage, pushed hard, and was shocked. Why was this carriage so heavy?
It happened in a flash. The two big men suddenly pulled out two big swords from under the car and swung them at Taozi and the others.
Taozi seemed prepared and rolled to the ground to avoid the attack, but the other two were not as lucky as they were chopped to the ground.
"ah!"
A scream immediately rang out in the carriage.
Another bang was heard, and the back panel of the car suddenly flew out, and three or five big men filed out from it. At the same time, dozens of people jumped out of the ditch next to it.
Just swing the knife at them.
This sudden change shocked Zhang Fei and others.
In fact, Zhang Fei was still very cautious at first, but as he played for a while, he saw that nothing happened, so he gradually let down his guard.
Only Ma Xiaoyi was very excited and shouted: "How dare you, you bastards, block my way."
He drew out his long sword and rode forward to kill the enemy, but he forgot that it had just rained and the road was very muddy. Before he could show off his power, his horse stumbled and he fell.
“Ouch!”
Ma Xiaoyi screamed.
When the assassins saw that there was such a good opportunity, they immediately swung their knives at Ma Xiaoyi.
Zhang Fei exclaimed, "Little Pony!"
In a flash, a long sword blocked two sharp swords in front of Ma Xiaoyi.
It was Cao Dongdong. He kicked one man down with a flying kick, and then stabbed another man with a sword, forcing the two men to retreat. Ma Xiaoyi hurriedly got up, shook off the dirt on his body, and rushed over with a knife, "Brother, I'm here to help you."
The two of them had been hanging around in the Sanya since they were young, so they were very skilled and had a tacit understanding. Together with Taozi and the others, they defeated the assassins step by step.
"Thief, your Grandpa Niu is here." Niu Beiqing was seen holding two big axes and rushing forward.
Long Wu, who was sitting motionless in the carriage, saw this and hurriedly shouted, "Daniu, don't go."
But Niu Beiqing didn't listen at all and just went straight to kill him.
Zhang Fei suddenly realized that there was only an unreliable expert like Long Wu around him, and hurriedly shouted: "Hey! Come back and protect me!"
But it was too late. Several masked assassins jumped out from the other half of the bushes and headed straight for Zhang Fei.
"careful!"
Long Wu pulled Zhang Fei off the horse with one hand, then jumped up, tapped the horse's back with his toes, and the sword flashed, and a stream of blood spurted out.
Zhang Fei, who fell into Li Si's arms, and Li Si saw this scene and murmured to themselves at the same time: "He is really a master."
Li Si suddenly saw an assassin taking advantage of the chaos to quietly approach them. He screamed immediately and in desperation, he fell directly on Zhang Fei.
The assassin raised his knife and slashed.
A long sword came flying and pierced their murderer directly.
As the long sword flew out, Long Wu turned his head to avoid the knife, grabbed the assassin's head with his bare hands and twisted it directly. With a few clicking sounds, he raised his leg to pick up the big knife that the assassin had let go of, held it with his left hand, and stabbed backwards, but saw an assassin lying directly on his back, and the black veil had turned scarlet.
In an instant, the four assassins around the carriage were dealt with.
A cool touch!
Who could have thought that this guy could fight a scoundrel for three hundred rounds using his shrewish fists.
With a whoosh sound.
An arrow shot past the carriage, and there was an immediate muffled sound. Long Wu turned around and raised his sword to swing it back, but when he saw who shot the arrow, he immediately swung the sword at the assassin who was coming towards him.
Twenty steps away, Fu Shichun was riding on a horse, surrounded by four guards. Compared with Niu Beiqing and his men, he was much more professional. He was not in a hurry, he drew his bow and drew his arrow, and every time he shot an arrow, an assassin fell down.
Seeing that the assassination failed, the assassins immediately ran into the bushes nearby.
Fu Shichun shouted loudly: "Yanei, Xiao Ma, don't chase the desperate enemy."
He pulled out an arrow and asked the follower beside him with a smile: "How many of them do you think can escape?"
The attendant immediately said, "Young Master, your arrows never miss their target. No one will escape."
Fu Shichun raised a smile, drew his bow and shot an arrow. One assassin fell down, and he drew out another arrow. "This arrow didn't go astray, but I wanted to leave one alive!"
He aimed at the assassin's leg and shot an arrow. At the same time, another arrow was shot from the side and hit the assassin at the same time. One arrow hit the thigh and the other arrow went straight through the chest.
Fu Shichun turned his head and looked at Cao Dongdong who was holding a bow, and shouted angrily: "Yanei, what are you doing? Don't you want to leave him alive?"
