Chapter 473
Just as Tan Daoji was preparing to pull out the mastermind behind these craftsmen, his opponent's movements were so fast that he almost caught him off guard. The craftsmen who were originally sent to the prison of the Tizheng Department by him using a strategy were soon taken away by some mysterious wealthy businessmen. Those who were not able to send in were robbed by some thieves with high martial arts skills on the way back to Li County without exception. They left harsh words on the note from Tan Shouli. If they dare to continue investigating, they would make Li County a new magistrate.
Tan Shouli had already gained a lot of benefits in this matter. When he found that the other party had no intention of getting the gold, he ordered Tan Daoji to ignore the matter.
A month later, when a group of soldiers who were beaten unrecognizable in front of him, Tan Daoji had to reconsider the movements of the thieves. Later, he learned from his own people in the Yongkang army that the Yongkang army had actually hooked up with another group of thieves on their back, which was unexpectedly the remnants of Gulang Village actually set up a mountain village that was easy to defend and difficult to attack on the back mountain of Gulang Village. The trees that covered the sky and the weeds of the sky secreted their whereabouts. The area was soon included in the Yongkang Army's patrol not long after the Gulang Village was destroyed.
Only then did Tan Daoji realize that everything behind him had been arranged in a very thoughtful way. No wonder he had been secretly searching for so long but he didn't find clues about these people. It turned out that these people had already found Yongkangjun as their backer.
Tan Daoji originally wanted to use the same trick again, but on the day the group attacked, they encountered some accidents that Tan Daoji had never understood from beginning to end. They met the patrol of Yongkang Army halfway through. Except for one guy who survived, the other guy was beheaded without leaving any other person. Yongkang Army won a considerable reward with the heads of these bandits.
Tan Daoji later tentatively sent people to the village to explore several times, but none of them came back, and there was no news from Yongkang Army. Tan Daoji knew that most of these people were destroyed by the people in the village. When he told Tan Shouli all the things that happened, Tan Shouli, who was greedy for life and death, actually told Tan Daoji not to continue investigating.
He was willing to sacrifice himself and dared to take down the magistrate. Tan Daoji, who has been able to treat the wise and help the poor and the needy, and to win over the past year, has already grasped the troops of the Xiang army firmly in his hands. He has long been unable to bear it. In recent years, because of the fact that the enemy is so irritating and incompetent, he has already made preparations to establish a new mountain. However, this time he did not go to the mountains to be the king of the mountain, but supports a puppet to replace Tan Shouli. Tan Daoji even thought of a vicious plan. He believed that based on his understanding of the Tubo people, he would definitely be able to persuade the Tubo people around Li County to invade the border. He then tried to let these invited guests into the city and let the wind and rain change the sky, which was so stormy that there was a group of Hei Water Ministry and Hongyuan Ministry.
"Brother Daoji, I can tell from your frowning expression that the old man in Lausanne probably did not agree to your request."
"Dorgi wise man, you can always guess exactly what I think in my heart. Can you tell me how you know?"
The elder, known as Dorji by Tan Daoji, is the leader of the Hei Water Ministry and the father of Zhaxi Zedan. He is in his forties this year. The Tubo people live in a relatively harsh environment. The winter in the Hei Water Ministry takes a long time, so they generally look old. Doji's wrinkled face looks more like an old man in his sixties. Doji did not answer Tan Daoji's question directly, but said vigorously: "Many years ago, we were able to kill thousands of invading Wei Chao's troops with more than 100 warriors from the tribe. This time, you will be able to help you."
"I am not worried about the warriors of the Black Water Ministry taking over Li County, but I am worried that your number is not enough to bring back the mountain of materials and newly launched fragrant tea leaves in Li County." After Tan Daoji finished speaking, the atmosphere between the two became happy. Tan Daoji knew that gold alone could not impress these Tubo people. In the hearts of these Tubo people, supplies and tea are much more precious than those cold gold.
"As long as Brother Daoji becomes the new city lord, I think you will never forget the promise we made, right?"
"That's certainly, in front of the Doji wise man, I would be a pawn who would rush across the river and run around for you to send."
"Brother Daoji is too humble. We each take the needs. You want officials, I want supplies, tea, and slaves. This is fair to everyone. After all, I want to help you solve so many troubles. We take more things away, and I hope you don't mind."
"If things go well, I will also give the Black Water Department a big gift." After Tan Daoji finished speaking, he threw a look of understanding at Zhaxi Zedan next to him. The dull-minded man then understood what Tan Daoji mentioned in the promise at that time. At this time, Zhaxi Zedan's whole body exuded a relaxed and despicable look of a beauty.
"So Zedan was a blessing in disguise in Hongyuanmen this time? Can you tell me the origin of those people?"
Tan Daoji knew that it was a taboo to slander another Tubo leader in front of a Tubo leader, and he still said in a respectful tone: "The wise man in Lausanne didn't say much to me, saying that he was just a passing businessman, but his skills were so good that I even looked at him with admiration."
"The Tubo people all admire heroes, and the Daoji brothers have a clear distinction between love and hate, but they are not an open-minded hero."
Tan Daoji has long understood the temperament of these Tubo people. The more you bow your head and please them, the more they look down on you in their bones. The more you are clear about public and private, the more righteous you are, the more you can get the praise of the very few smart people in the Tubo tribe. The chances of the original agreement being fulfilled are much greater. The chief of the tribe, the verbal promises are not enough to impress these people. They will judge whether the visitor is reliable from some tiny expressions, conversations, and actions of you. Undoubtedly, Tan Daoji is the best among them. His visit has achieved great success. When the chief was not hesitating to praise the words, the agreement between the two was truly reached.
"Then I will wait for the good news in Li County. I still say the same thing. I sincerely want to be a pawn in the hands of the wise man of Doji."
"Don't leave. When Zedan's injury is cured, you can enter the city together."
Tan Daoji knew clearly that the alliance between the two was truly implemented at this time. What could be more sincere than letting his son fall into danger?
"Okay, I'm willing to follow all the arrangements of Doji wise men."
