Loan Wusheng

Chapter 50: I am willing to fight to the death to achieve my goal!
After taking two quick bites of the roast duck, Zheng Jun broke off a duck leg without caring about his image. Then he stood up and planned to follow the clerk to the military headquarters for inspection.

"We probably won't be back for lunch, so just eat it yourself, brother-in-law."

After saying this, Zheng Jun and Xu Heng walked towards the Bingmasi.

This summons is nothing more than about reward for merit.

The bounties for those important criminals of the imperial court that he had beheaded before had not yet been paid.

Including the reward for suppressing the rebellion, this time there should be about three or four hundred taels.

Adding the money he had previously obtained, Zheng Jun found himself considered one of the richest men in Heishan County.

Next time I can buy a more spacious manor outside the county.

Zheng Jun thought in his heart.

Xu Heng, on the other hand, had mixed feelings, wondering why he was summoned.

Soon, the two arrived at the Military Department, entered together, and greeted the county lieutenant: "Greetings, Sir County Lieutenant."

"No gift."

Cai Xun was sitting on the big seat, holding the whitened book in his hand. When he saw Zheng Jun and Xu Heng coming, he immediately stood up with a look of great joy: "Zheng Sanlang is here, take a seat quickly!"

"Thank you, sir."

Zheng Jun bowed in greeting and then sat aside.

When Xu Heng saw this, he looked at Cai Xun expectantly, as if he was waiting for something.

Unexpectedly, Cai Xun seemed not to have noticed Xu Heng. When he was about to say something to Zheng Jun, he suddenly saw Xu Heng beside him. Then he asked in surprise: "Xu Dianshi is here too?"

Didn't you ask me to come?

Xu Heng felt a little sad, and his face felt like it was burning on fire.

"Oh, by the way, Xu Dianshi has made great contributions in exposing the truth. He will go to the county in a few days and meet with the county governor, and then he can fill the vacancy of the county magistrate." Cai Xun said casually, "Xu Dianshi should prepare well these days. If there is nothing else, he can go down."

"Yes."

Although Xu Heng felt a little indignant, he was still inexplicably happy after hearing Cai Xun's words, and bowed and said yes.

This is the county magistrate!

Xu Heng's eyes were burning with enthusiasm. After he bowed and said yes, he quickly left the Bingmasi.

After Xu Heng left the military headquarters, Cai Xun continued to look at Zheng Jun and said softly, "I heard that Sanlang had entered the stage of Qi accumulation. I didn't believe it at first, but now that I've met Sanlang, I know what a genius he is!"

"A fluke, a fluke."

Zheng Jun declined repeatedly, not knowing what Cai Xun wanted to do.

"Before, Sanlang was only refining blood, and I had some concerns. Now that he is accumulating energy, I have no concerns anymore. Would you like to take the martial arts examination, or stay in the county to work?" Cai Xun asked.

Zheng Jun immediately said, "I am willing to stay in the county and wait for the county lieutenant's orders."

"it is good!"

Cai Xun was overjoyed when he heard this, and then he said with a smile: "If Sanlang has no intention of joining the Pacification Office, I will submit a petition to the court to allow Sanlang to serve as the captain of the Black Mountain Guard and command all the troops of the Black Mountain Guard. What do you think, Sanlang?"

"I am willing."

Zheng Jun said in a deep voice.

This was also what he wanted to facilitate, and he didn't expect that it would actually be done.

Zheng Jun was naturally looking forward to serving in the army.

Seeing Zheng Jun accept the offer, Cai Xun nodded, and then suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Zheng Sanlang, if something changes in the future, can you serve me?"

After hearing Cai Xun's words, Zheng Jun was shocked!
What do you mean, there will be changes in the future?

what do you want?

The "accident" mentioned in these words is definitely not an ordinary accident. Since he said so, Zheng Jun felt that... Cai Xun's plan was very far-reaching.

Could it be a rebellion?
The Cai family behind this is the force colluding with the Qingshui Gang. Did they sell out the Qingshui Gang this time just to accumulate merits for Cai Xun?

its not right.

Zheng Jun couldn't figure out what the big deal Cai Xun was talking about, but he immediately said in a deep voice: "I am willing to work hard to achieve the goal!"

You can't just say 'I don't want to' at this time.

"good!"

Cai Xun nodded in satisfaction, and then said: "If you need money in the future, tell me. The Black Mountain Guard still has 227 infantrymen and 11 cavalrymen. You can recruit the rest on your own. You must ensure the loyalty of the Black Mountain Guard. If there is any big event, they are willing to fight to the death!"

"I understand."

Zheng Jun nodded.

"Don't misunderstand me."

Cai Xun added meaningfully, "I said that we should fight to the death because I am worried that when we go into the mountains to suppress the bandits, the soldiers will be demoralized and unworthy of being used."

"Why do you say that, sir? I understand that there is nothing wrong with it. It is a service to suppress bandits."

Zheng Jun responded in a sonorous and powerful voice.

Although he said this, Zheng Jun knew that his life was his own. When someone like Cai Xun was just talking, Zheng Jun naturally couldn't serve him completely.

If there is benefit, take it; if there is no benefit, avoid it.

Cai Xun was delighted, and then he took out five silver bills from his sleeve and said to Zheng Jun: "The reward from the court, together with the previous one, is a total of 500 taels. You can take it all away."

"Thank you, sir."

Zheng Jun nodded, took the banknote, and then said, "I will come to the Military Department to take up my post tomorrow."

Cai Xun nodded slightly, and then Zheng Jun left.

After leaving Bingmasi, the sky was dark.

Zheng Jun took a deep breath and strode towards the Tian house.

The gate of the house had been sealed long ago, and the inside had been searched several times by the county government, so it could be said that there was not much property left.

Zheng Jun skillfully climbed over the wall and entered the secret compartment that Tian Zhenyuan mentioned. He found a small box from under the green tiles, which immediately made Zheng Jun disappointed with the county government's house-raiding officials.

"They don't know how to lift up the floor when they search a house? The police officers in Heishan County are really incompetent."

Zheng Jun shook his head, took out all the pills in the small box, and immediately restored everything to its original state, climbed over the wall and went home.

After returning home, Zheng Jun went to his brother-in-law's house without saying a word.

"Is Junzi back?"

When Zheng Ping saw Zheng Jun coming over, she was immediately delighted and said to Zheng Jun, "Stay for dinner tonight. Your brother-in-law brought back a duck. I'll go heat it up."

Zheng Jun took a look.

I found out it was the other duck that hadn’t had time to move its beak at noon.

"Brother-in-law is so frugal."

Zheng Jun looked at Zhou Pu. Although Zhou Pu was usually carefree, he touched the back of his head a little embarrassedly when he saw Zheng Jun's eyes: "It would be a bit of a waste if you don't eat it, so I brought it back... Let's not talk about this."

Zheng Jun nodded slightly. Seeing that his sister had gone to prepare dinner, he immediately took out a silver note of 100 taels from his sleeve and said to Zhou Pu, "Brother-in-law, here is 100 taels. Please help me find a manor later. It is better to be a bigger one."

"Ok?"

Zhou Pu was a little surprised when he heard this: "Why buy a manor?"

Zheng Jun said casually: "The house I bought in the county is too small to accommodate my needs."

The storm was brewing recently, and Zheng Jun felt more and more that something was wrong.

If something serious happened in the county, everyone would be blocked immediately and there would be no way to escape.

A bigger house would also make it easier to escape and plan.

For example, raising dead soldiers...

Although he felt something was wrong with Zheng Jun's request, he still accepted the banknote: "The big courtyards outside are cheaper. If you want to buy a big one, it will cost at most sixty or seventy taels. The rest..."

"It's best to buy it near Changsai Town, and leave the rest to my brother-in-law."

Zheng Jun said very seriously: "The situation has been a little strange recently. Brother-in-law, you should pick up your martial arts and practice it again."

"Practice martial arts?"

Zhou Pu couldn't help but laugh dryly when he heard this: "Forget it! I don't have your talent. I have been practicing for seven or eight years and I'm just starting to refine blood. I haven't succeeded once in all this time."

Born in this world, who doesn't want to reach the pinnacle of martial arts?

Isn’t it because you don’t have enough talent and have to give up slowly due to the daily necessities of life?
After hearing Zhou Pu's words, Zheng Jun took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve without saying anything. There were three brown-red pills in the bottle.

"This is……"

Zhou Pu was stunned when he saw this, and muttered to himself: "Yixue Pills? Ten taels of silver for one Yixue Pill?"

so expensive?
Hearing this, Zheng Jun immediately felt that Cai Xun was indeed wealthy, but he still said calmly: "It's good that my brother-in-law knows me. Here are three pills, enough to support my brother-in-law until he refines his blood."

"Later, I will recommend my brother-in-law to the county lieutenant and the county magistrate to be the leader of the strong squad. If there is any change in the future, we can be prepared!"

After hearing Zheng Jun's words, Zhou Pu was shocked, and then said: "Don't worry, Sanlang, if there is any change in the future, we are a family, and I will naturally do my best to complete the task!"

This sentence sounds familiar.

Zheng Jun suddenly remembered what he said in front of Cai Xun.

It’s just that my brother-in-law’s words are inferior to my own.

More sincere.

After that, Zhou Pu asked again: "However, if you want to nominate me as the leader of the Zhuangban, then Junzi, are you going to be the Dianshi?"

"No."

Zheng Jun shook his head, his eyes deep, and then he said: "From tomorrow on, I will be the head of the Black Mountain Guards, commanding these three hundred capable soldiers!"

As long as my brother-in-law becomes the leader of the team, these five hundred militiamen can at least be organized.

In Heishan County, the vast majority of military equipment is controlled.

No matter what happens in the future, I will have the confidence!
