Amidst the sound of "ding-ding-ding-ding", jailer Miao Dazhuang shook the key in his hand and pushed the middle-aged man in custody into the cell.

"Just be patient!"

Miao Dazhuang locked the door, turned around and was about to walk away, when an order came from behind him.

"Wait a minute."

The sound is silent, but it can make people stop involuntarily.

Miao Dazhuang turned around and said impatiently: "What's the matter?"

"Do you know who I am?"

"Thief, you are my son." Miao Dazhuang spat, "I don't care who the hell you are."

"I am Yan Zhuang."

"No matter if you pretend to be salt and sugar, it's useless to me no matter how you pretend."

Miao Dazhuang cursed and kicked the wooden fence again, but saw the middle-aged man sitting on the thatch with a calm attitude. This was something he had never seen in previous prisoners.

He rubbed his eyes, took a closer look, and secretly thought that this was official style.

Yan Zhuang said calmly: "You might as well go and find out. I have rebelled twice and supported two emperors, including the emperor today. Now that we are destined, I can give you a fortune."

"Wealth?" Miao Dazhuang didn't take it seriously, "Only a ghost would believe you."

"Your luck has arrived, and wealth is just around the corner."

Miao Dazhuang was too lazy to pay much attention to the prisoner and walked away directly.

There was a look of thought in Yan Zhuang's eyes, but he still sat there calmly and dozed, maintaining the demeanor of a high-ranking official.

I don’t know how long it took, but light finally shone through the small air vent on the top of the cell, and finally, the jailer came with the jingling key.

"You are really strict."

Miao Dazhuang's tone was a little more respectful, but still arrogant, and said: "What a pity, Mr. Yan, you have become a prisoner, how can you bring me much wealth?"

Yan Zhuang seemed to have expected that he would come again, and said calmly: "You come to find your wealth, and I will show you a way."

"ha?"

"Go to the Dingwang Gambling House in the north of the city, find shopkeeper Zhang, and ask him, 'Do you want to know what Yan Zhuang said?' After that, every time he asks a question, you will charge him ten dollars."

Miao Dazhuang's eyes immediately lit up and he couldn't wait to ask: "Really?"

Yan Zhuang glanced at him lightly, meaning there was no need to ask.

Miao Dazhuang rubbed his palms unconsciously, revealing that he was very tempted by this money.

But he also had the shrewdness of a small person, and he said: "No, you want to harm me. It is against the law of the Tang Dynasty to take advice for you."

Yan Zhuang closed his eyes and did not answer, looking determined.

Miao Dazhuang rolled his eyes, thought to himself for a while, said "I won't be fooled by you" and strode away.

Yan Zhuang opened his eyes and watched the footsteps getting faster and faster as they left, knowing in his heart that Miao Dazhuang would definitely give him a message.

The Dingwang Gambling House was opened by Zhang Zhongzhi, a surrendered general of the Yan Army. After Zhang Zhongzhi surrendered, he sent his three sons to Fanyang Mansion to study as hostages. However, he took a concubine in Pinglu Guang and gave birth to many more children. Even when he asked someone to open a casino in private, he was named "Ding Wang", which hinted that he might be at odds with the imperial court.

Yan Zhuang has a lot of clues against Zhang Zhongzhi. Now that he is in prison, Zhang Zhongzhi will definitely pay attention to the development of the situation and will definitely be willing to spend a small amount of money.

Sure enough, that night, Miao Dazhuang came back again, his demeanor completely different, and he couldn't help but beam with excitement.

"Well, Mr. Yan, you are really capable. Shopkeeper Zhang asked me to ask you a few questions."

Yan Zhuang said: "This is just some small money. I told you that you will be rich."

"I just like to make small money and don't seek great wealth." Miao Dazhuang said, "You should answer whatever I ask, don't say you have something or not."

"good."

Yan Zhuang felt a little embarrassed and answered honestly. Within a day or two, he helped Miao Dazhuang earn a lot of money.

But then, when Miao Dazhuang was satisfied with his ambition, Yan Zhuang asked him a question.

"Do you dare to spend that money?"

Miao Dazhuang was stunned and said: "What do you mean?"

"If you dare to spend that money, others will know that you suddenly became rich, and they will know that you are accepting bribes in prison, which will cause death for you. I advise you to throw away the money as soon as possible."

"fart!"

It was impossible for Miao Dazhuang to throw away the money he had received, thinking that he would always be able to use it sooner or later if he hid it. But gradually, he also felt uneasy.

At this time, he realized that he had boarded Yan Zhuang's pirate ship by taking the money and the message.

Yan Zhuang could expose this matter just by opening his mouth, and he would either lose his job or be beheaded.

Miao Dazhuang felt guilty when he thought of this. He immediately showed timidity and his eyes wandered.

Yan Zhuang then said: "Don't worry, you have this wealth in your life that no one can take away. I'm here to help you."

He was someone who could instigate rebellion even in An Lushan. If he wanted to take advantage of a small person, he could do it easily. So he coaxed and deceived and asked Miao Dazhuang to contact more surrendered generals on his behalf.

During this process, Miao Dazhuang received a lot of money and became increasingly uneasy. Suddenly he received too much money that was beyond his ability, making him completely captured by the money and becoming a slave to it.

From this, Yan Zhuang could control Miao Dazhuang more easily. He found an opportunity and asked in a mysterious manner.

"Do you know where your wealth lies?"

"If you want me to let you go, that's impossible, and I can't do it either." Miao Dazhuang was very vigilant.

Yan Zhuang sneered and said, "I don't need you to let me go. I just need you to find paper and pen and ask me to write a letter, and you can send it out for me."

"No, then I will become your accomplice."

"Heh." Yan Zhuang said: "Do you know who are the people who have been in contact with you recently? They hold almost all of Fan Yang's soldiers and horses. You have also seen their attitude towards me. If they can be complicit with me, they are

You are the creation of heaven."

"You speak so brilliantly, why don't you go to jail here?"

"Am I in jail?" Yan Zhuang said, "It's the opportunity."

Miao Dazhuang had never seen such an aura person before, and he was frightened again.

Seeing this, Yan Zhuang finally revealed something to him and said slowly: "Fan Yang is the world of Fan Yang's soldiers after all. Now that the emperor has come to show his power, all the generals are dissatisfied, especially since I was thrown into prison.

It’s going to cause a big upheaval.”

Miao Dazhuang believed this.

When An Lushan and Shi Siming rebelled, he was already a teenager and had experienced the turmoil at that time.

"I wrote this letter. If you can stop the rebels, you will be the hero; if not, you will still be the hero when the situation changes. Do you understand?"

Miao Dazhuang was stunned, nodded, and then shook his head.

Yan Zhuang was too lazy to explain any more and said, "Bring a pen and paper."

Miao Dazhuang was confused by now, so he left the prison to find paper and pen. Yan Zhuang wrote quickly and eloquently, and wrote two pages, folded them, and carefully told Miao Dazhuang how to send it out.

"Remember, don't let anyone know. After this, you can expect to be rich..."

After this incident, Yan Zhuang had no more options and sat in jail and waited patiently for two days.

He counted with his fingers that the time was almost up, and then asked Miao Dazhuang to come closer while delivering the meal.

"I think something will happen in Fanyang City within the next two days. Please come here as soon as possible, open the door and let me out, and I will ensure your prosperity."

"I already said, I can't let you go, the prison boss can kill me..."

"The emperor will be killed by then, how can he be afraid of a prison head?"

Yan Zhuang sneered, showing his madness and no scruples anymore.

He stood up, waved his arms twice, and pointed at the country, very passionately.

"This will be my third rebellion, leading Fan Yang's soldiers to kill the emperor. This emperor has acted too hastily, and he will inevitably die for his new law. When the young master of Chang'an comes to the throne, the generals in Hebei will separate themselves from the government and no longer control the court. I

He will also be a prince."

Miao Dazhuang was stunned for a while, and he couldn't understand the rest. He only remembered Yan Zhuang's last promise to him.

"At that time, your wealth will also come."

~~

As time passed, Miao Dazhuang gradually started to look forward to it.

More and more corrupt officials were imprisoned. Yan Zhuanghui discussed the pros and cons of the new law with them in prison, believing that the emperor could not succeed.

Miao Dazhuang occasionally listened to one or two sentences and realized that today's conflicts are intensifying and the situation is about to be shaken.

He then felt that everyone else in the world was stupid, but he could see the future from his solemn analysis. So the first time he opened his eyes every day, he wondered whether something would change today, and from now on he would become a master.

On this day, he fell asleep in the cell and vaguely heard the cell leader chatting with someone.

"What a big noise."

"It's Tian Chengsi, Zhang Zhongzhi and the others entering the city..."

When these words fell into his ears, Miao Dazhuang suddenly started up, wiped his saliva and ran out, standing there staring at the prison head, his eyes falling on the bunch of keys hanging on the prison head's waist.

Chaos has begun, and he is about to soar into the sky.

"Dazhuang, why are you staring at me?!" The prison boss, who was still sucking a chicken claw, raised his head and scolded, "You are stupid, you are as stupid as ever."

Miao Dazhuang said: "Tian Chengsi, Zhang Zhongzhi has rebelled."

"What?" The prison boss showed a surprised expression and said, "Where did you hear that?"

Miao Dazhuang thought that if there was chaos in the city, he would leave the key to the prison head and let Yan Zhuang and others out.

Because of these thoughts, he could not help but show his madness, and he was no longer as respectful to the prison boss as before.

"Mom, you're still looking at me." The prison boss became annoyed, "You're itchy and you want me to take care of you, right?"
