Zhutian: Everything starts from becoming a disciple of Uncle Jiu!

Chapter 591 Lei Gang: What a thoughtful person... Bah, what a good memory!

On the way back to Fuxi Hall.

"Don't worry, since you have spoken, I will definitely let him go. And, don't worry, I, Zhao Zheng, have always been upright in my work. I will never do anything sneaky or covertly to harm him!"

“…”×2+N
This mind...

Phew, what a good memory!
Listening to Zhao Zheng's sarcastic words, the corners of the mouths of the onlookers and Lei Gang twitched a few times. Mao Xiaofang didn't think too much in his heart, but just turned back and tried to look at the seriously injured Ah Chu.
Unfortunately, there were too many soldiers following him, so he couldn't see Achu at all. Just when he was getting anxious, he saw a figure, which made him feel relieved.

"Master Zheng, why did you bring so many soldiers here this time?" The speaker was Shu Ning, who had not left.

Shu Ning looked curiously at the nearly a thousand well-equipped soldiers following closely behind him, and couldn't help but ask.

"Could it be that a warlord is coming to attack us?"

As Shu Ning's top bootlicker, Lin Zhijian, who also stayed, made a bold guess. Zhao Zheng looked back at Ah Hai who was going to rescue Ah Chu, and said indifferently, "Training troops to suppress bandits."

"Suppressing bandits? Training soldiers?"

Everyone was stunned, and then they heard Zhao Zheng say: "Originally, I wanted to sneak over here to wipe out the bandits near Gantian Town and give everyone a surprise. Now it seems that I am not suitable for hiding my head and showing my tail..."

"..."×N
This heart... has a really good memory!
Listening to Zhao Zheng's words, Shu Ning and others' mouths twitched. Mao Xiaofang's heart was filled with helplessness and complicated emotions.
Yes, his emotions were complicated. Although Zhao Zheng broke Ah Chu's limbs, it was Ah Chu's fault after all.
Even though Zhao Zheng's attack was a bit harsh, he could understand it, after all, Ah Chu was scolding Zhao Zheng's father.

Besides this, he really couldn't be angry with Zhao Zheng. Not to mention the various things that Zhao Zheng had the escort agency send to his Fuxi Hall during festivals.
There is also the security job at the hospital and school, which adds a lot of extra income to Fuxi Hall every month and accounts for most of the income.

Just because Zhao Zheng asked Taoist Simu to send them the innate elixir for forging the innate Taoist body years ago, he could not be angry with Zhao Zheng, and he could not be angry with Zhao Zheng.

"So, I have decided to invite the town's gentry and elders to Hexing Building to discuss going out of the city to suppress the bandits in the evening. After all, I have said that I have always done things in an open and aboveboard manner..."

Looking at Mao Xiaofang who was in a complicated mood, Zhao Zheng spoke up. Although he came here mainly to stop Lei Gang from taking back Fuxi Hall and turning against Mao Xiaofang,

However, he doesn't mind taking all the money from the gentry... Forget it, let's just take the money from these gentry.

Looking at the people of Gantian Town who had very little money in their pockets, Zhao Zheng muttered to himself, and then said to the people around who were watching the fun.

"Please help me inform them!"

"Easy to say, easy to say..."

"Don't worry, Marshal. We will definitely notify you..."

"I'll go inform them right away..."

"Yes, yes, let's go now..."

The common people volunteered to inform the town's gentry and elders. Lei Gang looked at Zhao Zheng riding a tall white horse and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that my nephew would be so devoted to the people..."

Having said that, Lei Gang felt something was wrong in his heart. It was because he had just been looking for Mao Xiaofang's life tablet for a few days and hadn't found it yet, but Zhao Zheng came to Gantian Town with his soldiers. This seemed too coincidental to him, so coincidental that he thought Zhao Zheng came because of him.

"Could it be that Uncle Nine has figured out something?"

Looking at Mao Xiaofang, Lei Gang thought of what was going on in his heart without any expression, Mao Xiaofang's cousin Jiu Shu.

"Master Zheng has a compassionate heart!"

Shu Ning at the side could not help but sigh, and Lin Zhijian also said with admiration: "If everyone in the world is like the young commander, serving the country and the people, then our country..."

"Yeah, I think so too."

Zhao Zheng said with a smile, glanced at Mao Xiaofang who was obviously not paying attention here, and slapped his forehead as if he suddenly realized something.

"I almost forgot, you who are you, how could you let my uncle and the others walk? Hurry up and prepare the horses. You really have no foresight at all. How could you let my uncle and the others walk..."

"..."×N
in fact,

You should dismount!!
The onlookers complained in their hearts, but they were just complaining. They felt that Zhao Zheng just had a good temper. If it were them, not to mention getting off the horse, they would still be beating Achu.

Soon, the soldiers who had no good eyesight brought four horses to the front of Lei Gang and Shu Ning.

Seeing this, Zhao Zheng decided to let these four soldiers with poor eyesight clean the toilet tonight. Thinking of this, he said to Lei Gang and the other two who had mounted their horses.

"Please take me to see the hospital in the town and the newly built school in the back. I originally wanted to go and see it secretly, but now I think it's better for me to go and see it openly..."

"..."×N
You have a good memory...

The corners of Lei Gang and the others' mouths twitched. Mao Xiaofang looked at Zhao Zheng's speech and felt that he looked more and more familiar.

In a trance,
Overlapping with the person in my memory!!
Got it, my cousin is not a virgin anymore!!

Zhao Zheng didn't know what Mao Xiaofang was thinking. He just took nearly a thousand soldiers to take a look at the hospital and the newly built school.

After touring the hospital and the school, Zhao Zheng glanced at Mao Xiaofang, the chief security captain of the hospital and the school.

One to say one,

Really dedicated!!

Others might not be able to see it, but Zhao Zheng could see that Mao Xiaofang was not only the security captain in the hospital and the school, but also a doctor in the hospital and a feng shui consultant in the school.

"Well, I'll raise your salary later!"

Looking at Mao Xiaofang, who did three jobs for one salary, and Lei Gang, who was also somewhat dedicated to the plan, Zhao Zheng muttered in his heart.

Afterwards, everyone started to return to Fuxi Hall. Even before they reached Fuxi Hall, Zhao Zheng and others saw sedan chairs that had almost blocked the street where Fuxi Hall was located, and outside the sedan chairs were a group of gentry and landlords from Gantian Town, led by Director Song, the father of Song Zilong.

"Young Marshal, long time no see..."

Looking at the soldiers following behind Zhao Zheng, whose number alone made him feel frightened, Director Song walked forward with a pale face and a smile, and the other gentry did the same.

No, it should be said that it was different. Unlike Director Song who knew Zhao Zheng, these gentry were obviously paler, especially after seeing the soldiers behind Zhao Zheng.

"Alas, I can't marry a concubine anymore..."

"The rent has to go up..."

"Just fire them later..."

"Why don't you come here secretly..."

Listening to the mumblings of some gentry, Zhao Zheng silently labeled them as finished, and then began to exchange simple courtesies with Director Song and others. After saying that they would discuss the matter in detail over dinner at Hexing Tower in the evening, Director Song and others took their leave tactfully.

"Go, take your men and follow those dishonest-looking old guys, so that when I ask them to donate money at night, they won't cheat an honest man like me!"

Zhao Zheng gave an order to his subordinates, and Lei Gang and others who had been standing nearby twitched their lips. Shu Ning and Lin Zhijian looked at the soldiers who were leaving, and subconsciously glanced at each other, only to feel that they had a new understanding of the word "honest man".

Also, are you really an honest person?!
Looking at Zhao Zheng, Lin Zhijian felt that he was still too honest. Mao Xiaofang frowned slightly and hesitated to speak.

"A Zheng, ask them to donate money..."

"Don't worry, we just ask them to donate some money for their travel expenses!"

Zhao Zheng spoke, and added in his mind that this was the travel expenses until the year 1964. The taxes in Goose City could be collected fifty years later, so there was no reason why his travel expenses could not be collected fifty years later.

"By the way, you guys should go too when the time comes!"

Zhao Zheng spoke. Although Mao Xiaofang was still concerned about Achu, he nodded. Lei Gang hesitated to speak.

"Actually, I'm planning to go to Guantian Pavilion for retreat..."

"It's okay, you and me, take a team of people to accompany my uncle Lei to Guantian Pavilion. Remember to take care of my uncle Lei's daily life!" Zhao Zheng turned around and gave an order to his subordinates.

Hearing this, Lei Gang's mouth twitched, and he immediately said that he was not so anxious to go to Guantian Pavilion for retreat, so let's talk about it later.

Besides, he prefers quietness. If he is not quiet, how can he secretly look for the life cards hidden in the river by Mao Xiaofang?

Not to mention that Lei Gang felt that Zhao Zheng's visit this time was most likely to target him. When Zhao Zheng opened the door of Fuxi Hall, he was surprised to see Lei Xiu walking towards him with a snake.

"Hey, A Zheng, you're here!" "You're such a grown-up girl and you're still playing with snakes. If it were me, I would definitely play it secretly..." Zhao Zheng said with contempt.

"..."×N
Lei Xiu didn't understand what was going on. She just felt that Zhao Zheng was targeting everyone except her. Mao Xiaofang and the others felt their mouths twitching when they heard this, and secretly said that Zhao Zheng... had a really good memory.

"Huh? Why don't you two go back?"

Zhao Zheng looked at Shu Ning and the other man who had not left yet in a strange way, and then without waiting for their reply, he said to his subordinates outside the door: "Hey, find some craftsmen to repair their newspaper office."

"Yes, Marshal!"

Just like that, Shu Ning, who didn't want to leave, and Lin Zhijian, who wanted to leave, left. Looking at Shu Ning and the other person walking out of the gate of Fuxi Hall, Lei Gang looked at Zhao Zhengdao curiously.

"A Zheng, how did your father become the commander-in-chief?"

If he remembered correctly, when Zhao Zheng was here last year, Zhao Zheng's father was only a county magistrate.

"I told you, the senior officials didn't buy it."

"???"×2
"The main reason is that the world is too chaotic now."

Zhao Zheng pointed out the key point. Although he has the ability to prevent bad things from happening, he does not want to interfere too much.

Therefore, after his father failed to buy a high-ranking position, he activated the backup plan, or accelerated the progress, and directly made Zhao's father's county magistrate Zhao become Zhao Dashuai,

He,

Naturally, he became the young marshal!
Hearing the words "the world is too chaotic", Lei Gang and Mao Xiaofang nodded heavily and sighed. The atmosphere was a little silent for a while.

Seeing the depressing atmosphere, Zhao Zheng simply walked towards the living room and started to burn incense. As soon as he entered the living room, the portrait of the ancestor enshrined on the altar in the living room began to emit a brilliant golden light, which made Mao Xiaofang and Lei Gang shout with their eyes wide open.

"Master!"×2
The two of them saluted quickly, and Lei Xiu followed suit and called out "Master". Unfortunately, they found that the golden light didn't even look at them. After turning into an illusory giant hand and touching Zhao Zheng's head, it instantly retracted into the portrait.

"..."×2
I should be your...apprentice, right? ! x2
Lei Gang and Mao Xiaofang were in a weird and inexplicably sour mood, while Zhao Zheng, who felt that he had suffered a great loss, glanced at the newly added Heavenly Master's blessing status with a little disdain, then secretly said that it was a good intention and began to burn incense.

There were still a lot of incense tubes filling up the incense burner, which Mao Xiaofang, who got up from the ground and walked into the living room, thought was normal.

Only Lei Gang's mouth twitched. Then, he glanced at Mao Xiaofang secretly. Oh, it turned out that he had been blaming the wrong person all along.

After a while, when the two incense burners were filled to the brim and the incense-burning ceremony was over, Zhao Zheng looked at Mao Xiaofang and the other man, who seemed to be hesitant to talk, and rolled his eyes.

"Master didn't speak to me."

"Oh oh..."×2
"But Master is truly upright in his conduct..."

"..."×2+1
……

evening,

Hexing Building.

"You little brat, you came here without even telling me, and you asked me, your uncle, to come and see you. It seems like you don't take me, your uncle, seriously..." A loud voice came from a bald man who looked very artistic.

"How could that be? I bought some things for you, Uncle Xu, at a foreign auction house on the way here. I was planning to give you a surprise when I return."

Looking at Master Xu who came uninvited but without even a few subordinates with him, Zhao Zheng smiled and touched him from behind.

"Hmm? Hiss... this painting! This painting is at least as high as an eight or nine-story building!" Marshal Xu said with his eyes wide open and trembling hands as he took the Western painting that Zhao Zheng had handed over.

"Uncle Xu has a keen eye!"

Zhao Zheng gave a thumbs up. Master Xu chuckled and rewrapped the Western painting, then handed it to the adjutant beside him, asking him to hold it carefully.

"That's right. My art floor has been rising recently. It's at least one or two floors high now."

"More than that, right? Last year, Uncle Xu, you said that your painting skills were as high as two or three floors. This year it should be as high as three or four floors, right?" Zhao Zheng said in disbelief.

"Ahem, almost there..."

Marshal Xu's old face turned slightly red. There was nothing he could do. Art always grows very slowly. After the two talked for a while, Marshal Xu finally told Zhao Zheng the purpose of his visit, or rather, asked him the purpose of his visit.

He had to ask. Although he was not panicked and was not afraid that Zhao Zheng would cause him trouble, his wives and subordinates were afraid!

"Don't worry, Uncle Xu, I'm only here to suppress the bandits."

Zhao Zheng spoke, and Marshal Xu rolled his eyes in his heart when he heard it. He didn't mean anything else. He didn't believe that Zhao Zheng brought so many soldiers here just to suppress the bandits. If he didn't have a good relationship with Zhao Zheng, he would have begun to suspect that they were here to suppress him.

"And earn some money for the trip back home!"

"Oh……"

Marshal Xu suddenly realized, and looked at Zhao Zheng with a smile as if he knew it. Then, he leaned close to Zhao Zheng and whispered.

"Oh, by the way, I recently heard of a good idea. I remember you said that you have a blank letter of appointment for the county magistrate, right? You can learn from Mr. Huang in Echeng, who has teamed up with the county magistrate to defer tax collection to 50 years later..."

"..."

Is Mr. Huang so famous? !
Zhao Zheng nodded to show that he had learned it, and then looked at General Xu in front of him with some curiosity and said, "Uncle Xu, you are not going to follow Master Huang's example and collect taxes from Fengping Town fifty years later, are you?"

"My last name is not Huang, and I am not the county magistrate..."

Well, I did collect a few extra years though!
Marshal Xu muttered something in his heart, but Zhao Zheng did not mention it again. Instead, he pointed to the elegant box on the third floor upstairs.

"Uncle Xu, go up and tell him..."

"Haha, how can this be so embarrassing..."

Marshal Xu smiled and said embarrassedly as he walked into Hexing Building. Zhao Zheng rolled his eyes. There was nothing much to say about what happened next.

Travel expenses... Bah, it should be said that with the addition of Marshal Xu's face that doesn't look like a good person,
Under the watchful eyes of the soldiers inside and outside the Yage, the money needed to go out of the city to suppress the bandits was quickly raised by the gentry who voluntarily donated money.

Although this tax was only collected in 1924, and only for the next ten years instead of the next fifty years, Zhao Zheng felt that this was not a big problem. At most, he could come back a few more times when he had time. Besides, it was not good to collect too much at once. After all, he was a man of a noble family.

"Don't complain that it's too little. Let me tell you, even though these people are smiling and are afraid and respectful to you now, they have dark hearts. Just like the saying goes..."

Sitting next to Zhao Zheng, Marshal Xu whispered to Zhao Zheng and slapped his thigh, "That's right, they are such ruthless people. When I push them to the limit, they are really incapable of doing anything..."

Zhao Zheng nodded silently to show that he understood, then looked at Marshal Xu and the gentry who looked unhappy.
Well, Marshal Xu's voice is getting louder.

Everyone present heard it!

"Ahem, let's drink, let's wish the young marshal a triumphant return tomorrow and kill those bandits..."

Looking at the gentry around him who were so angry that they almost cursed, Director Song cursed helplessly in his heart, "You guys go ahead and curse", then smiled and raised his glass to liven up the atmosphere.

At the same time, he made eye contact with his son Song Zilong and Zhou Sanyuan who had shamelessly come to eat with him, and Zhou Sanyuan immediately raised his glass and agreed with a smile.

"Yes, yes, the director is right. Let us celebrate the young marshal's triumphant return tomorrow and kill all those bandits..."

"Yes, Sanyuan is right..."

Song Zilong also smiled and said, the atmosphere was still very happy, anyway, Zhao Zheng and Xu Dashuai were very happy, and soon, after three rounds of drinks,

Everyone left one after another. Zhao Zheng glanced at Lei Gang who was pretending to be drunk and passed out, and Mao Xiaofang who was really drunk, and then looked at Lei Xiu who was trying to move Lei Gang.

"Ah Xiu, where is Senior Brother Ah Hai?"

"do not know!"

"Oh……"

Zhao Zheng said "oh", looked at Lei Gang's slightly moving eyelids, and said to Lei Xiu: "Alright, don't move it if you can't. Hey, come and send my uncle and the others back. Ah Xiu, you go back too, remember to take good care of the two uncles. I'm going to talk to Director Song and the others about going out of the city to suppress the bandits tomorrow..."

"Oh, okay..."
