The 239th chapter killed the emperor and did not pay the food(3/3)
Then the unlucky Lantian County Magistrate Zhang Dezheng ate the melon, was beaten to the end, and demoted to a commoner.
This is not Zhang Dezheng’s fault. The main reason is that Zhang Dezheng is not upright. The path he took to become the county magistrate was the path of the eunuch party at that time. He was considered to be a half-eunuch party member. Since the death of Wei Zhongxian, the court’s attitude towards the eunuch party has been very bad.
All kinds of suppression, arrests, and beheadings.
The big fish were almost taken care of, but the big bosses didn't take any fancy to the little shrimp like the county magistrate, so they didn't spare their hands. As a result, when Zhang Jinshui's incident broke out, the Xi'an government needed officials to take the blame.
That’s not mentioned. Let’s study it. When everyone takes a look at this study, hey, this Lantian magistrate is a remnant of the eunuch party. If you don’t give him a hand, who will you give him?
So the magistrate of Lantian County, who was corrupt and perverted the law, was dismissed and had to leave office within a time limit.
As soon as the news came out, Zhang Dezheng almost fainted. The county magistrate he bought for twenty thousand taels was gone.
But what troubles him even more now is how to bring the money he has collected over the years out of Lantian. This is very difficult.
So Zhang Dezheng began to recruit swordsmen and hired escorts at the same time. He organized a mess and organized a battle of 400 people. Then he felt that it was almost done. As long as he could get out of Lantian safely, he would give these swordsmen a fortune.
However, the news could not be concealed, as it was known to Li Chaosheng directly. At this time, Gu Zi personally told the news to Li Chaosheng who was having dinner.
After hearing this, Li Chaosheng stopped eating.
"Okay, I'm worried that I don't have enough money, so here's the money giver."
Li Chaosheng was very happy. Now in Lantian County, as long as Li Chaosheng wanted to, not even a mosquito could escape. He, Zhang Dezheng, wanted to go through Liudayukou. After all, it was such a big convoy.
If Zhang Dezheng were to run alone and be more agile and able to cross mountains and enter the old forest, Li Chaosheng would not do anything. But if you have a convoy and go through the valley, then there is no chance of running away.
Li Chaosheng looked at Gu Zi and said, "Send a message to Bai Shoumin and tell him to keep an eye on Zhang Dezheng and don't let this big fish escape."
Bai Shoumin replied, understanding.
Not long after this communication, at midnight, Bai Shoumin sent a telegram to inform Li Chaosheng that Zhang Dezheng had escaped during the night.
The thing is like this, Zhang Dezheng announced today that he would hold a farewell banquet, so he called everyone together with great fanfare and had a delicious meal. Bai Shoumin also went there, and the banquet was held until eleven o'clock in the evening.
Bai Shoumin kept an eye on it, and after it was disbanded, he asked people to keep an eye on the county magistrate's office. As a result, at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, Zhang Dezheng and his family pulled twelve carts, went out, and ran away under the cover of night.
Li Chaosheng couldn't help but laugh after hearing this. This virtue was just a trick for everyone to escape from their shell.
It's a pity that his opponent is himself. He thought that Li Chaosheng would directly call the six major valleys and stop all the teams passing through tonight. No matter who it is, the money and goods will be kept and the people will be released. If there is resistance, then it will be fine.
You're welcome, get rid of it.
So that night, all the six valleys woke up, put up roadblocks, and waited for Zhang Dezheng to take the bait. The people's wealth and wealth that he had plundered in Lantian stayed in Lantian.
At about three o'clock in the night, Li Chaosheng received a reply from Liudayukou. They actually robbed a carriage along the way, with ten thousand taels of silver on each carriage, but Zhang Dezheng was missing.
Li Chaosheng laughed after hearing this. Zhang Dezheng was really smart. He knew that his journey would definitely be unsafe, so he dispersed the money and sent it out. He could send it all the way, but he didn't expect that he would hijack it all.
