"Mr. Zhang, we have endured for a long time!"

When I saw Lao Zhu, the first sentence was this. Zhang Ximeng was startled, what are you holding back? His eyes were red.

"What are your orders, my lord?"

Lao Zhu snorted coldly, "We have a son, we want to beg for a lot of money, and we don't want to be swept away, but these beasts insisted on getting along with us, eating a bowl of noodles on the street, and the money they brought back was stolen. , they even dare to steal from us, what do you think they dare not do?"

Zhu Yuanzhang really exploded his lungs with anger, and his anger was three feet high.

It's not that his knife is unhappy. He really considers that his son was just born, and Jinling City is really complicated. There are so many military affairs, government affairs, and messes, and he can't take care of these trash fish.

But he wanted to be merciful, these people went to court for their own death, and they had to get bad luck, so Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't be blamed for being rude.

Zhang Ximeng was relieved when he understood what Lao Zhu was worried about.

"Master doesn't want to kill people?"

"No!" Lao Zhu said, "We've never been afraid of killing people, we just don't want to kill blood in a river. Mr. is meticulous in his work, so we can rest assured that this matter will be left to Mr.

Zhang Ximeng still wanted to say a few words, but Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't wait to stand up, "Let's go to see my son, sir, let's do it!"

After speaking, this guy actually trotted away, making Zhang Ximeng stunned!

Well, you Zhu Yuanzhang, it turns out that all your thoughts are on your son... Zhang Ximeng can't help it, Xu Da Feng Guoyong and others are in charge of military affairs, and Li Shanchang takes the lead in government affairs, and a lot of civil officials are there.

It seems that the security is left to him, okay!

I don't pick jobs, we can do anything!

Zhang * Wan Jin You * Xi Meng decided to shoot.

But the problem also followed. Lao Zhu wanted to do the work carefully, and Zhang Ximeng didn't want to kill them all at once, so he had to figure out the face of the matter. Jinling was so complicated. It's not easy to do!

Zhang Ximeng thought about it again and again, and suddenly remembered, yes, there is also a local snake, it is Kang Maocai!

"Yang Xian, do you know where Kang Maocai lives?"

"I know, he lives next to Jiqing Road School. That area is considered a prison camp. The superior doesn't seem to like this person very much?" Yang Xian observed, because in Yang Xian's opinion, the superior's preference is the preference. under the vocation. That is to say, we should speculate on Lao Zhu's mind and please the Lord in order to achieve great success.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't like Kang Maocai, but Zhang Ximeng went to see Kang Maocai. Will this make Lao Zhu uncomfortable?

Of course, he didn't have the guts to instigate, he just reminded him subconsciously. Of course, he also wanted to see who Zhang Ximeng was, and she knew exactly who she was.

"Go buy two roast ducks and get a jar of wine. I'll have a good chat with Kang Mao."

Yang Xian was stunned, Zhang Ximeng is brave enough!

But he didn't dare to talk nonsense in the end, he went to do it obediently.

Zhang Ximeng came to see Kang Maocai with wine and vegetables.

"General Kang may have heard of me. My name is Zhang Ximeng. I have experienced the experience!"

Kang Mao was stunned for a moment, he had heard the name Zhang Ximeng no less than a hundred times! It is no exaggeration to say that in the Zhu family army, you may not know Zhu Yuanzhang, but you must know Zhang Ximeng.

This is not to say that Zhang Ximeng has overstepped his authority and overridden Lao Zhu, but that the rules and regulations formulated by Zhang Ximeng are simply detailed.

However, Kang Maocai was a Confucian general who had read books. He was very able to understand the intentions of the framers from behind these regulations. Therefore, Kang Maocai had a different admiration for Zhang Ximeng.

Now that I see him, Zhang Ximeng is probably only sixteen or seventeen, much younger than he imagined. Where did he come from?

"Has General Kang read a book?"

With this classic line again, Zhang Ximeng found that it is very convenient to start from a person's cultural cognition, and it is easy to gain resonance.

Kang Maocai said: "My mother taught me to read books when I was a child, and I have a little understanding of the scriptures!"

Zhang Ximeng smiled: "No wonder you didn't go to Tianwan...General Kang, you're not desperate, right?"

Kang Mao was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The name of the high-ranking benevolence and righteousness is known to the whole world. In the four seas, only the high-ranking is the real hero!"

This is very interesting. Kang Mao is a native of Qichun. He has fought with the generals in Tianwan. Coincidentally, he was friends with Chen Youliang in his early years.

This is embarrassing.

In his early years, Kang Maocai summoned Xiang Yong to resist Tianwan. It stands to reason that he should not take refuge in Xu Shouhui. But now that Chen Youliang has emerged, and Lao Kang has passed, there may not be a way out.

However, he was from Qichun again, different from the group of Huaixi.

Zhang Ximeng said that he was either desperate or to give Kang Mao a face. He could take refuge in Lao Zhu or escape to his hometown.

Of course, after returning to Qichun, how many soldiers can be brought back, only God knows.

"General Kang, since you've identified your superiors, it's because of your unique vision. It's a coincidence that we people see it the same way. If a power wants to conquer the world, it's not about how big its fists are, how many troops there are... It's about how many people there are... If you have no ambition, can you win the support of the most people. The superiors implement the equalization of land, abolish the extortionate taxes, and all kinds of actions, which are all actions that conform to the will of the people. The most important thing is that the superiors can put these things into practice. I can follow You promise, it won't be long before Jinling will look brand new."

Zhang Ximeng smiled and said: "I can't drink enough, so I can only toast General Kang. I believe in the superior, and I also believe in Zhu Jiajun. Your choice is not wrong!"

After speaking, Zhang Ximeng really drank the wine in his glass.

Kang Maocai raised his brows, and his heart seemed to be quite turbulent. In the end, he also raised his glass and said excitedly: "Thanks to Zhang's experience, he is so trusting. In the past, Kang worked for Yuan Ting, and he was confused. This time, I will change my sins and return to the right. Life and death for the superior, the liver and brain are on the ground!"

After saying a few words, Kang Maocai's stagnation in his heart also loosened a lot. Zhang Ximeng held the small blade of meat in his own hands. Now that there is no pancake for roast duck, he made a piece of Chinese cabbage and rolled it with vegetable leaves. The duck meat, with a little sauce, was handed to Kang Maocai.

Lao Kang took it, took a bite, and immediately his eyes lit up, "Experience, I have been in Jinling for some time, and I have eaten roast duck several times. You are the most unique way of eating! Fragrant, really fragrant!"

Zhang Ximeng smiled lightly, "This is our family's habit."

"Your family... Mr. Zhang is young and knowledgeable. He must be from a famous family, right?"

Zhang Ximeng nodded, "It should be, I'm from Jinan, but I'm not a close relative."

Jinan, Zhang family!

Kang Mao, who had only read the book, thought about it for a while, and immediately understood. Looking at Zhang Ximeng again, the awe in his eyes suddenly increased by three points!

But don't look down on others when they are young! Maybe a few years later, when the world mentions the Zhang family, they only know about this Zhang Ximeng.

Zhang Ximeng accompanied Kang Maocai and ate a half-duck. Then he smiled and asked, "General Kang, you said that I want to deal with the chaos in Jinling, where should I start?"

Kang Maocai immediately cheered up, and the key point came.

"Zhang experience, there are some things I can't understand even as a warrior, but I know that there is a Huaixi man in Jinling who is quite famous!"

"Huaixi people? It won't be the lord, right?"

Kang Maocai smiled, "Of course not, he has been in Jinling for thirty or forty years."

"so long?"

"Yeah! It is said that in the earliest days, he was singing flower drums and escaped from Haozhou. Later, he sang in this area and asked for money. Later, he met a **** person and asked them to extort ... other opera singers. I was scared and had to pay money to save my life. But this brave and knowledgeable man saw that this Semu man had no foundation and was only bullying people by his identity as Semu man. He took decisive action and killed this man! His head was hung on the Temple of the City God... From then on, everyone who sang Huagu and asked for money recognized him as the eldest brother. For decades, before the Red Turban Uprising, all Huai people who came from Haozhou, Dingyuan, Sizhou and other places Westerners must see him first. No matter whether they are rich or poor, as long as they find them, he can arrange a job. If nothing else, it's okay to fill their stomachs, so Huaixi people obey him.”

Zhang Ximeng took a breath. He didn't expect that before Lao Zhu, there were people from Huaixi who advanced to Jinling.

"What is this person's name, and what has he done in recent years?"

Kang Maocai said: "This person is also surnamed Zhu. Since the poor look for him, he will give him a bucket of rice, so everyone calls him Zhu Yidou."

"What do you want to say?" Kang Mao thought carefully: "Originally, Tu Jian wanted him to take the lead, recruit militiamen, and destroy the Red Turbans. But Zhu Yidou did not agree. However, he gave Chen Yexian, a fellow Huaixi fellow, no Less help, food, talent, whatever you want. Without Zhu Yidou's help, Chen Yexian wouldn't have that much power."

"So he is a remnant of the Yuan court?" Zhang Ximeng asked.

Kang Mao shook his head, "It doesn't seem to be, the superior entered Jinling, and Zhu Yidou led many Huaixi villagers to greet the superior, with tears streaming down his face. It seems that the superior is quite happy, after all, they are all Huaixi fellows, and they also accepted his donations. ."

Zhang Ximeng couldn't help but chuckle, "There are more people in Huaixi, and there are more people who are pulling banners as tiger skins... I think this Bacheng is clinging to the name of the lord and wants to continue to sway! No matter who it is, he They all stand still!"

Kang Maocai was slightly surprised. Zhang Ximeng, who was so astute, he had thought for a long time before he figured it out, but he made it clear in one sentence.

"Zhang experience, are you going to attack this person?"

Zhang Ximeng smiled, "Since it's the lord's folks, I'll go take a look and see what tricks this fellow Huaixi can play!"

Zhu Yidou is fifty or sixty years old, but he is well maintained, with a burly body and the majesty of a superior. He chose to receive guests from all over the world on a painting boat on the Qinhuai River.

There is an endless stream of people who come to Zhu Yidou to do business every day, especially when the dynasties are changed and the king's flag is changed at the top of the city.

He sat in the middle, and the people who came to see him from outside lined up and went in one by one. With a few words, he could turn a frowning person into a beaming smile, like a living Bodhisattva.

Zhang Ximeng didn't come too early. It was noon. He was already going to have lunch, but Zhu Yidou was in a good mood today. He even saw one more person, so he called Zhang Ximeng in.

Entering the cabin, in addition to Zhu Yidou sitting in the middle, there are two middle-aged people next to him.

Zhang Ximeng looked at it and went directly to the old man, "Mr. Zhu, I have encountered a little trouble and want you to help me kill someone. The price is easy to say, what do you think?"

Zhu Yidou shook his head, "No help!"

"Why? Do you think you have less money?"

Zhu Yidou's eyes suddenly became sharp and he glared at Zhang Ximeng. After three seconds, he suddenly smiled, "Young man, look at this old man's boat... I have dozens of boats like this~www.mtlnovel.com~ , do you think the old man will do things for you for money? Not to mention, it's a matter of human life!"

"Then, what should I do? Add money?" Zhang Ximeng asked.

At this time, the two middle-aged men stood up, raised their fists with vinegar bowls, they were about to beat Zhang Ximeng, and they let you in without a meal, so they didn't understand the rules?

Zhu Yidou was also displeased, but considering Zhang Ximeng's Huaixi accent, he still maintained his demeanor.

"Young man, the old man is not in charge of everything... Also, ask the person behind you to come over and let him tell the truth. Also, the old man is not a killer who collects money to do things. If he really wants the old man to help , and there are indeed grievances that others can't solve, for the sake of the villagers, as long as he calls him big brother!"

"See off the guest!" Zhu Yidou said lightly, then waved his hand to let this rash young man leave quickly...
