Chapter 1366: Counting in Counting (Medium)
The next morning, the rooster got up as soon as it crowed, and went to the well in the yard of the house to get a large basin of cold water and wash his face, so he woke up a lot.
There are a lot of things going on today, Xiaoshengzi's father-in-law took Zhao Xianqiu's token and transferred dozens of people from the Cao army, let them wear civilian clothes and pretend to be ordinary people, and spying around the city where Yang Huairen is located.
Of course, it was impossible for them to find Yang Huairen, but after a busy day, when Xiao Shengzi went back to report to Zhao Xianqiu, he said that he saw a guard next to Yang Huairen in the Tucui Building in the west of the city, and went to the backyard sneakily.
Zhao Xianqiu stared and smiled, "Sure enough, as our family expected, this surnamed Yang, even if he came to Yangzhou City, he didn't forget to go to the land of fireworks to have a good time."
Hmph, but he can't be happy, let him die in Tucui Building tonight, and we'll be all over the place! ”
Xiao Shengzi asked, "Grandpa, will it be too hasty?" Those masters in Caoyun, but have they all been ordered? ”
Zhao Xianqiu said, "Xiaoshengzi, aren't you still worried about your grandfather's methods?" Grandpa found ten people with the highest martial arts skills and the most skilled string control, and guaranteed Yang Huairen, even if he gave birth to an extra pair of wings, he couldn't escape from grandpa's palm! ”
Zhao Xianqiu said very arrogantly, and people who don't know may not think he is a eunuch when they see this.
He then laughed, "Hasty? Don't be in a hurry, grandpa has been working hard in Jiangnan for many years, if he doesn't even have this ability, he will live in vain, and one day of preparation is enough.
And the sooner this matter is dealt with, the more beneficial it will be to the two of us, and after a long time, maybe the surname Yang will still have new tricks.
He has been staring at Hongyun Buzhuang for a day or two, and it is estimated that he has found the right place and is waiting to start, if he really forcibly robs Hongyun Buzhuang, I am afraid that grandpa will not have to live. ”
Xiao Shengzi hurriedly said, "Yes, it's still grandpa's thoughtfulness." So let's do it tonight? I don't know where to keep it......"
Zhao Xianqiu waved his hand, "You don't have to worry about this, grandpa sent someone to tell him this afternoon, there are a few bandits in the green forest who have nowhere to go by the forbidden army, so they have to hide in Yangzhou City, and ask him to prepare early."
He had listened to his grandfather's orders, and this time his grandfather told him that this gang of thieves had brought a lot of treasures from the original cottage on his body, and he would give him half of them after the fact, and he was afraid that He Cunbao would come quickly without his tail between his legs?
Later, I will send someone to say that he has found the hiding place of the bandits, and ask him to immediately lead troops into the city to get people, all kinds of details do not need to be told to him, when the time comes, he will lead the troops to surround Tucui Tower, even if he knows that it is Yang Huairen inside, he will not be able to turn back.
As for Zhu Runqing's side, he would naturally send someone over to inform him, and also use this excuse to hear that such a big thing had happened, and he would definitely rush to the scene immediately.
After slaughtering Yang Huairen, we will detain Zhu Runqing, put the charge on his head, and hand it over to the forbidden army, as for how miserable his death is, it is not something we can manage. ”
Xiao Shengzi was busy patting Zhao Xianqiu's fart, but he thought in his heart that Zhao Xianqiu thought that tonight was Yang Huairen's death, but he couldn't imagine that it was actually his death, and the smile on his face seemed very meaningful.
The two of them thought about it again, and then they were ready, and only waited for the opportunity to act after nightfall.
……
The sun was setting, and the scenery of the sunset was just right, but suddenly a dark cloud floated from the north, covering the beautiful scenery of the sunset.
He Cunbao usually stayed in the commanding envoy's mansion in Yangzhou City, but today he was instructed by Zhao Xianqiu to take a few relatives to the garrison outside the city.
The Yangzhou army said that it had an establishment of 3,000 people, but in fact there were less than 2,000 people, and the false amount of more than 1,000 people was all paid by the imperial court.
This kind of thing is very common in the entire Great Song Dynasty, in these years, anyone who has a little ability goes to make money to support their families and live a good life, and those who have a bad life, or who have committed something and are assigned, will be recruited into the army to serve as a soldier.
Therefore, there is absolutely no situation in which the van army in all parts of the country is fully staffed, and how can those who become officials make a fortune if they do not eat empty salaries?
The Xiang army nominally has the responsibility of maintaining local law and order and exterminating bandits and bandits, but in fact they do not do such things.
Occasionally, they can't hide it, so they have to make a show in front of the people, take people and horses into the mountains and then come back, even if they make a mistake, as for what the bandits look like, they don't have a chance to see them.
He Cunbao, the commander of the envoy, is actually the general of the Yangzhou Xiang Army, and his official position is at the same level as the Yangzhou prefect, but the Great Song Dynasty Chongwen suppressed the military, and the military officials were naturally one level shorter.
There are various yamen in Yangzhou City, Caoyun Yamen is undoubtedly the most oil and water, and there are many yamen in Yangzhou Mansion, but Zhu Runqing, a fool, can't drill camps, so he wasted such a good opportunity.
But when he came to the Yamen under his command, there was not much oil and water, so the gray income of Lord He, in addition to the empty salary, was mainly from Zhao Xianqiu, the Caoyun Yamen.
Zhao Xianqiu told him to do something, and Lord He has always actively cooperated, because he knew that every time he helped Zhao Xianqiu do something, he would have a lot of benefits.
Today, Zhao Xianqiu sent someone to tell him that a group of thieves who had been broken through the cottage by the forbidden army and secretly stolen out with a treasure sneaked into Yangzhou City, and he knew that this was a big deal.
In these years, the bandits are also very rich, they have no profit in trading, naturally they are a fat oil, and fortunately the forbidden army came to Jiangnan to sweep their cottage, otherwise they would not have brought their treasures down the mountain to hide in Yangzhou City to take refuge.
Zhao Xianqiu gave him such a beautiful difference, He Cunbao naturally took it very seriously, especially after Zhao Xianqiu promised him to give him half of the benefits after he killed these bandits who entered the city, he had the benefit of merit and money, so he was even more positive.
Lord He came to the camp outside the city early, and immediately ordered the elite of the three hundred Xiang army, and when Zhao Xianqiu found the hiding place of the bandits, they entered the city to catch the thieves.
In He Cunbao's opinion, these bandits must be very tough, but fortunately, they are small in number, and they are new to the city and unfamiliar with the place, and they don't recognize the streets and alleys in the city if they want to run, so it is more than enough to use three hundred elite van troops to take a few bandits who have entered the city.
The soldiers outside the tent stood by on the spot, and Lord He led a few henchmen to eat and drink in the account, this kind of wine bureau is also common on weekdays, but this time He Cunbao deliberately ordered everyone not to eat and drink, and when today's things are done, he will invite the generals to go to the city to eat wine in the Golden Building in the coming day.
His subordinate lieutenants also heard that this time it was Gonggong Zhao of Caoyun Yamen who gave Master He a good deal, so he naturally didn't dare to slack off.
