The next day, the two of them successfully entered Weining City. As the capital of Jizhou, it was naturally very lively. Luo Tianbao originally thought that the two of them would find an inn to stay, but unexpectedly, Pan Hong took them directly to a house in the south of the city.

"Brother Pan, why did you bring me here?"

"This is where we'll end up."

"But this is a private house, right? Could it be that the owner inside is an acquaintance of yours?"

"Young Master, you will understand soon after you go in." Pan Hong said and patted the door of the house. Soon a man who looked like a servant came out from inside. He was shocked when he saw Pan Hong.

"Why are you here, Great Protector?"

"I'm in town to do some errands. Is Lao Zhang here?"

"Here, he just came back from the Yamen. Should I ask him to greet you?"

"No, let's go in and see him. This is our young castle master. We have big things to do when we enter the city this time. Don't make any public announcements." Pan Hong pointed at Luo Tianbao and warned him. The man agreed repeatedly.

, when Luo Tianbao and the others were let into the house, there were two courtyards at the front and back of the house. Although the place was not big, the decoration and furnishings were quite elegant. It could be seen that the owner had a certain amount of financial resources. Luo Panhong did not talk to anyone else after entering.

He went straight to the backyard to say hello, which made people feel as if they were at his own home. Seeing this, Luo Tianbao had no choice but to follow behind.

The two came to the backyard. Pan Hong went straight to the house and went in without even knocking on the door. A man and a woman were talking on the kang. When he saw someone barging in without saying hello, the man was startled and instinctively

He reached under the quilt as if he wanted to find something, but when he saw it was Pan Hong, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why are you here, Great Protector?"

"Don't talk nonsense. This is our young castle master, come and salute." Pan Hong pointed at Luo Tianbao and said. The man and woman were shocked when they heard this, and hurried forward to salute. Luo Tianbao didn't know where he was, and he couldn't help him at the moment.

, turned to look at Pan Hong, asking him to introduce him.

"This is the Lord of Jizhou, Bo Zhang Bin, and the one next to him is his wife Baozhu. They are all our own people." Pan Hong immediately introduced Luo Tianbao. The latter couldn't help being surprised when he heard that the Registrar of the Prefecture was in charge of the daily paperwork of the Governor's Yamen.

Confidential, not high-ranking, but quite powerful, he didn't expect that he would be from Jindoubao, and judging from his posture, Pan Hong trusted him very much. For a while, Luo Tianbao couldn't help but look at the power of his side with a different eye.

Everyone was polite and let Luo Tianbao take the main seat. The others stood beside him. Pan Hong guessed what Luo Tianbao was thinking and immediately gave him a brief introduction. Zhang Bin was a native of Jizhou. He was born in a poor family.

He studied poetry and books diligently, and originally wanted to get a reputation and become an official, but unfortunately he failed in many tests, and finally he was reduced to writing letters for others for a living. However, Zhang Bin's calligraphy was good, and occasionally people asked him to write some signs.

Couplets, one year during the New Year, Jindoubao wanted to put up Spring Festival couplets, so someone found Zhang Bin. As soon as the finished product came out, Lin Yunfei was greatly praised. He asked who made it, and the manager called Zhang Bin. Lin Yunfei and him

Tan felt that this man was very talented and learned, and he was also good-looking, so he came forward to find him a job as a secretary in the Jizhou Yamen. Although he was not a formal official, he was much better than his original letter writer. For this reason, Zhang Bin

I am extremely grateful to Lin Yunfei.

In fact, Lin Yunfei did this not only out of love for talents, but also for his own considerations. At that time, the world was still peaceful, and Lin Yunfei had no intention of raising an army. He just felt that Jindou Fort was located in Jizhou, and he could place a few of his own people in the local government office when necessary.

May be of some help.

To say that Zhang Bin is also up to par, Shu Zuo has done a very impressive job. He climbed to the position of chief clerk within a few years. Although his rank is low, he is an official official after all. He has not forgotten his roots and competes in Jindou every New Year.

Lin Yunfei visited Lin Yunfei in the fort and sent some gifts to express his gratitude. Later, Lin Yunfei gradually began to plan to raise an army. Zhang Bin's value suddenly became even greater, so he deliberately wooed him and even married Mrs. Gao's personal maid Baozhu.

Zhang Bin, in this way, the latter has completely become a member of Jindou Bao. Zhang Bin has contributed a lot to Lin Yunfei's activities in Jizhou in recent years, so Pan Hong and Luo Tianbao came directly to his house when they entered Weining this time.

.

After listening to Pan Hong's story, Luo Tianbao couldn't help but suddenly realized that although his father was a figure in the world, he was actually quite scheming. The plan had been laid out many years ago, but since Zhang Bin and his wife were direct descendants of Jin Doubao, Luo Tianbao

Tianbao and the others disappeared, and immediately asked about the situation in the city.

"Reporting to you, young master, there has been a lot of buzz in Weining City in the past few days that we are going to raise an army. Many people have even begun to leave the city to seek refuge."

Hearing what Zhang Bin said, Luo Tianbao immediately asked: "Oh, how will the Civil and Military Yamen react?"

"Chief Zhang is stupid and incompetent. He only thinks about how to make money. Although he is wary, most of his followers have been bribed by us. Everyone said it was groundless, so he did not relax his guard. Li Congyun is quite concerned.

Be alert, I heard that he has already sent a letter to Xinjing, asking the rebels to quickly send reinforcements to strengthen the defense of Ji and Yizhou, and at the same time mobilize troops and generals to see if they are going to embarrass us to the end."

Luo Tianbao heard and Pan Hong looked at each other. It seemed that the development of the situation was as they expected. Pan Hong asked: "Are there any other changes in the city besides this?"

"Yes, it seems that Li Congyun's letter not only requested Xinjing to send reinforcements as soon as possible, but also filed a complaint against Zhang, the governor, claiming that he was corrupt, perverting the law, derelict in his duties, and incompetent. He requested Xinjing to remove him and investigate him, or at least transfer him from Jizhou. For this reason, Zhang Cishi

He was very dissatisfied, so when we saw an opportunity to take advantage of it, we deliberately fanned the flames and sow discord between the two of them. Now the rift between the two of them has become established, and they are like fire and water."

"Oh, can we use this to bring Zhang Lie to our side?"

"This doesn't seem to work. In fact, we have tried it in the past few years. It is true that Governor Zhang is fatuous and incompetent, but he is quite loyal to King Youyun. He knows that he is where he is today because he is King Youyun's brother-in-law.

, if he had taken refuge with others, who would be able to put such great value on a person like him? Therefore, he is completely committed to Dayou Country, and trying to win him over may not work."

Pan Hongwen nodded: "I see, to tell you the truth, we are going to start an army soon. This time I am accompanying the young master to make final preparations. We will stay at your house in the next few days. If outsiders ask, just

Said the young master is your cousin."

"I understand that the young master is able to live in my house. It is a blessing that the couple has cultivated in their previous life. I will now order the servants to tidy up the front yard, and we will let you and the young master live in the backyard."

"That's great. Also, go and call Lao Qi and the others. We'll have a meeting at your house first."

"I understand." Upon hearing this, Zhang Bin immediately went down to do as he was told, while his wife Baozhu stayed behind to clean up the room for Luo Tianbao and others. In the afternoon, Zhang Bin brought a few more people, men, women, old and young. Pan Hong gave Luo Tianbao

Tianbao made an introduction. These were Jindou Bao's informants and confidants deployed in Weining City. On the surface, they were engaged in any profession, but in fact, they were all preparing for Lin Yunfei to raise troops.
