[Quick Wear] Daily Cleansing of Trash

Chapter 478 Protecting the Best Sister 20

"Tomorrow I will go to Fuzhou with Huang Tiancheng, and I will leave Dangshan to you!" Zhang Rulan touched Li Mingzhu's face, "Be careful!"

Li Mingzhu nodded: "Don't worry."

The next day, at daybreak, two teams set out from Ludangpo at the same time, splitting into two groups and marching in different directions.

When they reached Fengyu Pavilion, the White Horse Gang appeared.

In front of the Huangmei Army, Li Mingzhu, Feng Da and others staged a good show of "humiliation - slap in the face - conquest".

After some back and forth, Li Mingzhu successfully "incorporated" the White Horse Gang.

Looking at Feng Da and others who were kneeling on the ground and shouting "We will follow the heroine until death", Li Mingzhu silently looked away.

Exaggerated expressions, poor acting, and exaggerated body movements.

I give this performance 59 points.

…………

Outside Fuzhou City.

Chen Guang, the leader of the Green Forest Army, took a whip and whipped the ground hard.

"Damn Zhou Heng, how dare he play tricks on me!" Chen Guang's face was gloomy. "Does he think I can't do anything to him if he doesn't open the door?"

Chen Guang looked at the towering walls of Fuzhou City and the rows of archers on the walls, and felt extremely angry.

Qiao Wangchun, the Green Forest Army's military advisor, waved his fan and said slowly, "General, why are you so angry? I don't think the matter is that simple."

Chen Guang frowned when he heard this: "What do you mean?"

Qiao Wangchun smiled and said, "We have some leverage over Zhou Heng. Isn't he afraid that we'll expose his secret dealings with the rebels?"

Chen Guang remained silent. Qiao Wangchun continued, "Besides, Zhou Heng is a smart man. He must know that if he wants to be the governor here safely, cooperating with us is the best option. We can capture Ruan Wenshan, so we can capture him as well. Opposing us will only bring harm and no benefit."

Chen Guang finally reacted: "You mean, something unexpected happened that prevented Zhou Heng from opening Fuzhou City as agreed?"

Qiao Wangchun nodded.

Chen Guang cursed: "Useless thing!"

"General, the more useless the prefect is to us, the better!" Qiao Wangchun shook his fan.

Chen Guang didn't want to hear these words. He just wanted to know one thing: "What should we do next?"

Qiao Wangchun looked at Fuzhou City and reassured Chen Guang, "Don't worry, General. If they don't open the gate, we'll just fight our way in!"

His narrow eyes were filled with viciousness. "I've ordered the manufacture of the battering ram. It will be finished as early as tomorrow. By then, Fuzhou City will be ours!"

Besides, they have hostages in their hands. If the people in Fuzhou City don't know what's good for them, he doesn't mind using human blood as a sacrifice!

Chen Guang's expression slowed down when he heard this. He snorted coldly, "Let them live one more day!"

…………

"Master, the old lady has fainted again!"

At the Fuzhou government office, Zhang Cang had just come out of the room where Zhou Heng was imprisoned when he heard the report from his housekeeper.

He hurried home and saw the doctor coming out with a medicine box on his back.

"Doctor Liu, how is my mother?" Zhang Cang's face was full of anxiety.

Doctor Liu sighed: "Madam has been ill for a long time and has experienced a great shock. Now... Alas..."

Zhang Cang tried hard to hold back his tears, thanked Doctor Liu, and went into the room. Looking at Ruan Wenyuan, who looked like a withered skeleton, he finally burst into tears.

"Cang'er..." Ruan Wenyuan held Zhang Cang with her skinny hands, "How are your grandparents?"

Zhang Cang wiped his tears with his sleeve and comforted him, "The Green Forest Army didn't occupy Fuzhou, so Grandpa will be fine. Don't worry, I will definitely find a way to rescue them!"

Ruan Wenyuan nodded, then closed her eyes again, exhausted.

Zhang Cang covered Ruan Wenyuan with a quilt, tiptoed out of the room, gave a few instructions to the servants, and returned to the government office.

Zhang Cang's identity was special. He was the son of a criminal and lived with his mother under someone else's roof.

Although his father died and his mother was weak, Zhang Cang was not bullied, thanks to the kind-hearted Ruan family.

Ruan Wenshan did not hold a high official position, but he was also a Jinshi and had a kind nature. He treated his grandson Zhang Cang and other people in the Ruan family equally.

Zhang Cang was smart since childhood and learned things quickly, but because of his status, he was unable to take the imperial examination.

He had a good attitude. Knowing that he had no hope of passing the imperial examination in this life, he decided to find another way out and started learning business.

Ruan Wenshan loved his grandson very much. After learning about Zhang Cang's ambition, he not only gave him a shop, but also specially invited an experienced old manager to teach him carefully.

At the age of thirteen, Zhang Cang earned his first pot of gold on his own.

Ruan Wenshan was a kind official who never bullied his fellow villagers, and the people were happy to please Zhang Cang.

In this way, although Zhang Cang was young, he made many friends and often followed others around. He knew the area of ​​Fuzhou very well and could talk to anyone.

The Ruan family set out to return to Beijing, but before they had gone long, they were intercepted by the Green Forest Army.

This incident happened to be seen by a farmer who was cutting wood nearby, and the farmer hurriedly took a shortcut and ran back to Fuzhou.

They don’t know the new Lord Zhou, but they know Zhang Cang!

When Zhang Cang got the news, he hurried to the government office and happened to see Zhou Heng ordering the city gates to be opened.

Ruan Wenshan was a cautious person. As the world was not at peace and the massacre in Dingzhou had occurred, he had ordered the city walls of Fuzhou to be renovated and the city gates to be replaced with new ones just in case.

On weekdays, when people entered and exited, they only opened a small door on the side of the main gate, which was only wide enough for two horses to run side by side. They entered through the left door and exited through the right door.

Now, Ruan Wenshan and his family had just been robbed and killed by the Green Forest Army, and Zhou Heng inexplicably ordered the city gates to be opened.

No matter how you think about it, there is something wrong with this.

Zhang Cang immediately sensed something was amiss and stopped it by relying on his reputation. With the help of the guards left to him by Ruan Wenshan and the old staff of the government office who had watched him grow up, he tied up Zhou Heng and his men.

He also persuaded others to close the city gates.

Sure enough, an hour later, the Green Forest Army appeared and surrounded Fuzhou City.

The tragic plight of the people in Dingzhou is still vivid in their minds, and the people in Fuzhou naturally know that the Green Forest Army is no good.

In this way, under the leadership of Li Tongzhi and Zheng Tongpan, Fuzhou City and the Green Forest Army outside the city formed a confrontation.

In the government office, Li Tongzhi and Zheng Tongpan were discussing how to resist the enemy.

Seeing Zhang Cang, Judge Zheng quickly asked, "Cang boy, did Zhou Heng tell you?"

Zhang Cang shook his head: "He is dishonest and refuses to admit to having an affair with the Green Forest Army."

Judge Zheng sneered, "At this point, what's the point of him cheating? Does he really think we are fools?"

Li Tongzhi stroked his beard and sighed, "I never thought the Green Forest Army could actually bribe an official from the imperial court. It looks like chaos is really coming!"

Nowadays, uprisings are frequent in various places, and no one knows what the fate of the Great Xia Dynasty will be.

Zheng Tongpan rolled his eyes at Li Tongzhi, interrupting his melancholy. "Alright, Old Li, let's think about what to do next."

Zhang Cang said solemnly, "My grandfather is in the hands of the Green Forest Army. I'm afraid they will use him to threaten us."
