I have to say that the help that the hidden thieves have brought to Zhao Hongrun is huge. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

For example, this time, if there were no green crows, I am afraid that Zhao Hongrun and his party could only stand outside Anling City, staring at the high walls of Anling City.

But with the green crows, it was very different, no, Zhao Hongrun entered the city effortlessly.

Entering the city from the south gate of Anling County, Zhao Hongrun ordered the five hundred Yanling soldiers to quickly control the city defense of the south city gate.

Although 500 Yanling soldiers are not enough to take over all the city defenses of Anling City, there is still no problem with a single southern city gate.

And the reason why he did this was nothing more than that Zhao Hongrun wanted to leave a way back for himself, after all, since the third prince Wang Chen and the thirteenth prince Zhao Chengsui dared to order the county soldiers on the city wall to lock him up outside the city, they didn't dare to do anything else.

Originally, Yan Mo felt that it was a little inappropriate for Zhao Hongrun to place all the five hundred Yanling soldiers at the south gate of Anling City, so he had to bring some with him to avoid accidents.

But just as he was about to persuade Zhao Hongrun, he suddenly noticed that there were dozens or hundreds of people in gray cloth clothes, who followed them into Anling, and Zongwei Changwei Jiao signaled for these people to be released.

Yan Mo even remembered the few agile people who had just opened the city gate for them, and he understood it in his heart.

It turned out that there was still a team of men and horses secretly to protect His Royal Highness King Su......

After understanding this, Yan Mo no longer made any suggestions.

After entering the city, the green crows disappeared into the streets and alleys of Anling City in an instant, and Zhao Hongrun and his party, under the leadership of Li Li, the head of the Anling County Order and the county soldiers, came to the county warehouse in the county.

Generally, the county warehouses in the county are locked, and Anling County is no exception.

What surprised Zhao Hongrun was that Yan Yong and Li Li looked at the lock in the county warehouse and actually looked at each other.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but urge: "Unlock it!" ”

Hearing this, Yan Yong explained with a sneering face: "His Royal Highness King Su, the key to the warehouse lock of my county's county warehouse is kept by the county Cheng. ”

To be honest, there is no loophole in this sentence, after all, the county official was originally to assist the county order in charge of various trivial matters, but the problem is, Yan Yong and Li Li just set up a porridge factory outside the city to make porridge, didn't they just move more than a dozen truckloads of rice grain from the county warehouse? Why is the key still in the hands of that county man?

However, in the face of Zhao Hongrun's question, Yan Yong was speechless.

In the end, he actually said to Zhao Hongrun with a smile: "Your Highness, since you don't have the key, and it's getting late today, why don't we come back tomorrow?" ”

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun didn't know that there was a ghost in it, and instructed Wei Jiao, the chief of the sect guard, to say, "Wei Jiao, you come." ”

Wei Jiao is a very simple person, without saying a word, he directly pulled out the saber on his waist and slashed a few swords at the big iron lock in the county warehouse, only to hear a rattle, the chain was broken, and the huge iron lock fell to the ground.

Seeing Wei Jiao's rude way of unlocking, the county commander Yan Yong and the county soldier leader Li Li glanced at each other, and their expressions were quite at a loss.

"......" glanced at Yan Yong and Li Li, and Wei Jiao struggled to push open the door of the county warehouse.

To his surprise, he saw that the county warehouse was full of rice bags, and it didn't look like there was a deficit.

Is it really just a lack of keys?

A thought flashed through Wei Jiao's heart.

At this time, I saw Zhao Hongrun patting Zongwei Zhou Pu on the shoulder.

Zhou Pu understood, stepped forward, pulled out the saber on his waist, and stabbed one of the bags of rice with a sword, only to hear a stabbing sound, and the rice bag was stabbed, but what was shocking was that when Zhou Pu withdrew the sword, there were no rice grains or grains leaking out of the rice bag.

Seeing this, Zhou Pu snorted lightly, reached into the hole in the rice bag with his left hand, and groped for a while, but only grabbed a handful of straw stalks. At the same time, Wei Jiao also understood, and the connection pierced more than a dozen rice bags, but as a result, not a single grain of rice leaked out, and when he reached into the mold, they were all straw stalks.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun turned his head and glanced at Yan Yong, the county commander who was in a cold sweat, and said lightly: "Yan county order, explain." …… It doesn't make sense, it's not just the Imperial Historian who will trouble you in the future. ”

Hearing this, Yan Yong fell to his knees with a puff and said in a mournful voice: "His Royal Highness King Su, His Royal Highness King Su, this matter has nothing to do with the lower officials." …… It is the wealthy clan in the city led by the Zhao family and the Wang family, and they want to borrow the grain stored in the county warehouse......"

With Yan Yong's panicked explanation, Zhao Hongrun finally understood.

It turned out that after he Zhao Hongrun led the army to conquer Sanchuan last year, because the imperial court used the power of the state to transfer grain from various places, the price of rice in various places generally rose.

Seeing this, some noble children in Anling City thought that this was a business opportunity, so they hoarded grain, raised the price of rice, and sold grain to those counties with extremely high rice prices, which really made a profit.

Among them, some of the children of the Zhao family and the Wang family actually started the idea of the county warehouse, they smuggled out the hidden rice in the county warehouse, and used bags stuffed with straw poles to fill the number, creating the illusion that the county warehouse in Anling County was still full, but in fact, there was not even a grain of rice in the entire county warehouse.

"Is it Wang Chen and Zhao Chengsui that I just saw?"

Yan Yong gritted his teeth when he heard this, and said in a low voice: "The third prince and the thirteenth prince are also among them......

……

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun slowly closed his eyes.

He wasn't angry, because he didn't feel worth it.

He just felt inexplicably sad.

It is undeniable that there are aristocrats in Wei who are as upright as He Zhirong in Yu County and can be called the cornerstone of the country, and naturally there will be some moths that damage the public and private interests.

Although he always insisted that their Wei State would not be as corrupt as the Chu State, facts have proved that there is indeed a corruption and perversion of the law in front of him, and it is still blatant and grandiose.

"King Su spares his life! King Su spares his life! ”

Yan Yong knelt on the ground again and again, kowtowing again and again and begging for mercy.

Indeed, when the King Su in front of him was angry, it made people tremble, but that kind of fear was far less than the silence of His Royal Highness the King Su in front of him as he was now.

Yan Yong had no doubt that the next moment, His Royal Highness King Su in front of him would order the Zong Wei beside him to cut off his head with a sword.

“……”

Zhao Hongrun looked indifferently at Yan Yong, who was kowtowing at his feet.

In all fairness, he really wanted to cut Yan Yong, but if you think about it carefully, what's the point of killing such a small person?

Yan Yong is just a county magistrate, and it is not difficult to see from the fact that the city gate was closed when he entered the city, Yan Yong, as the county magistrate of Anling County, could not control the whole city at all.

It's just a puppet, an ornament, a scapegoat that can be pushed out at any time.

Whether to kill this kind of person or not has not changed in the slightest in the overall situation.

Thinking of this, Zhao Hongrun restrained the killing intent in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Yan Yong, you, as an official, are at the end of your life, and you will even be questioned by the Criminal Department in the future." …… Now this official gives you a way out. ”

Hearing this, Yan Yong hurriedly raised his head and said happily: "Please make it clear to His Royal Highness King Su." ”

"Give this king to collect the corrupt affairs of the nobles in the city."

"This ......" Yan Yong's face froze when he heard this.

Thinking about it, you know that this is something that offends the nobles of Anling, if he really dares to betray the nobles in the city, will those nobles spare him?

Seeing Yan Yong's hesitant expression, Zhao Hongrun did not force him, but said in a tone as if stating the facts: "Yan Yong, you should understand that with the power and power of this king, it is only a matter of time to find out the people who are corrupt and pervert the law in Anling. Regardless of whether you contribute or not, this king can still find out in the end. …… This king just gives you a way to live, if you contribute to it, although this official is the end, but this king can exempt you from the criminal department's questioning, but if you refuse, then, in the future, after the criminal department asks and beheads the criminals, you will definitely be among them. ”

Listening to Zhao Hongrun's cold words, Yan Yong only felt cold.

I saw that after struggling for a while, he suddenly gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Your Royal Highness King Su, here is a booklet that records all kinds of evidence of corruption and perversion of the law by the nobles in the city......"

…… Not? This guy ......

Zhao Hongrun glanced at Yan Yong with a little surprise, and said in his heart that this county ordered the nest to be the nest, but it was not stupid, and he prepared the crimes of those nobles in advance. Come to think of it, that pamphlet must have been used by this person for self-preservation.

Thinking of this, Zhao Hongrun nodded and said, "Okay, I'll hand it over to this king later." ”

As he spoke, a group of people were about to leave the county warehouse when they suddenly heard an angry shout outside.

"Who?! Who broke into the county warehouse without permission? ”

After that, a burly man broke in with a group of county soldiers, with a fierce look and a fierce look in his eyes.

Seeing that the person who came was wearing a soapy blue official uniform, Zhao Hongrun looked suspicious and asked, "Who is this person?" ”

Yan Yong whispered: "It is the county lieutenant of my Anling County, a member of the Wang family, and the second brother of Wang Chen, the third son of Wang, Wang Han." After that, in order to make his position clear, he added another sentence at the end: "This person is in my Anling, and he can be called one of the county tyrants." ”

"County tyrant? Hum! ”

Zhao Hongrun snorted lightly.

At this time, Wang Han, the county lieutenant, had also discovered the situation in the county warehouse: many rice bags were pierced by knife blades, and the straw poles filled inside were also torn out.

Seeing this, he was anxious in his heart, and reprimanded angrily: "He Fangxiao is small, he actually dares to attack the county warehouse of my Anling County, and he will take it down for me!" ”

You're such a wretch......

Zhao Hongrun once again glanced at Yan Yong with a strange gaze, and the latter's face turned pale for a while.

It's no wonder, after all, there are only a dozen people in the county warehouse, and it is impossible for county lieutenant Wang Han not to see Yan Yong.

Obviously, Wang Han, the county lieutenant, deliberately pretended not to see Yan Yong.

A mere county lieutenant actually climbed to the head of the county order, which is very incredible anywhere in the Wei State.

may have had Zhao Hongrun's support this time, Yan Yong scolded unceremoniously: "Presumptuous! Wang Han, in front of His Royal Highness King Su, do you dare to make a mistake?! After that, he ordered the county soldiers: "No one is allowed to move!" ”

Hey, this guy isn't completely devoid of temper......

Zhao Hongrun glanced at Yan Yong with a little surprise, and his disgust towards him was slightly reduced, after all, this guy was just a pitiful worm who was set aside.

It's a pity that Yan Yong couldn't reprimand the county lieutenant Wang Han and the county soldiers under him at all, only to hear the county lieutenant Wang Han glancing at Yan Yong angrily, and actually said upside down: "Good thief, you dare to pretend to be the county magistrate of Anling County and kill him for me!" …… King Su? King Su is still in Shangshui County, how can he be in my tomb? It's also fake, take it down for me! ”

“……”

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun shook his head slightly, found a rice bag with a suitable height, sat down, and slowly dusted off his clothes.

"Kill! …… Attacking this king is a chaotic minister and thief, and there is no forgiveness for killing! ”

"Yes!"

Wei Jiao, Lu Mu, Chu Heng, and Zhou Pu drew their swords one after another. (To be continued.) )
