Chapter 337: Shocking business
(Let's update the two chapters together!) It's four chapters today)
"The cloud car wind horse is small and staying, and the family has cups and plates. The pig's head is cooked and the pisces are fresh, and the bean paste and sweet pine rice bait are round. The man sacrificed his daughter to avoid, and drank and burned the money stove Junxi. The servant fights against the king, and the cat and dog touch the filthy king. Send the king drunk to the gate of heaven, spoon long spoon short do not return to the clouds, begging for the return of the city. ”
A song "Sacrifice Stove Words" vividly depicts the scene of Chinese New Year's Eve.
However, on the twenty-third day of the lunar month of the first year of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Anping County, Dingzhou, is destined not to have such a peaceful and happy scene.
Since the fifteenth day of the lunar month, there have been various characters rushing to Anping County from other state capitals.
As a result, the inns and inns in the county were all full, and even the temples and Taoist temples were overcrowded.
After the twentieth month of the lunar month, it will be even more terrible. Crowds of people kept pouring in from all directions, all rushing to Anping County.
The Ya of Anping County is even more like a great enemy, for fear that something will go wrong.
Anping County made Lin Tongsheng fidget all day long, this Nima said that there will be a locust plague next year, why is this locust plague not yet rising, and the people are hungry everywhere? If someone climbs the heights and shouts, can my Lord Lin's life still be saved!
So, he hurriedly sent someone to send a letter to Dingzhou to stab Shi Sun Yan high, asking to borrow government soldiers to press the ground.
But Sun Yangao's reply was completely confusing, so he simply explained: not only would the Dingzhou government not send a single soldier to suppress it, but also asked Anping County to order Lin Tongsheng to protect these hungry people and not let them have any accidents.
Lin Tongsheng looked at Sun Yangao's reply letter with a short sentence, and was stunned for a long time to figure out what Sun Da's assassination meant.
In the end, it was a staff member named Yang Jin by his side who cleared Lin Tongsheng's doubts.
Yang Jin took Sun Yangao's letterhead and analyzed: "Dong Weng, you can read carefully, Sun Tingshi's reply letter is clearly written, he is not asking you to protect the people, but to 'protect' the hungry people." With our 100 servants, it's enough! ”
Protecting the hungry?
Lin Tongsheng immediately thought of the boundary of Anping County, who else had the ability to provoke these thousands of hungry people?
The answer is simply coming out - Bolingcui's!
Lin Tongsheng is not a chick in officialdom, judging from the content of Sun Yanggao's reply to him, and then thinking of the thousands of hungry people provoked by the Boling Cui clan, he quickly guessed that this Nima turned out to be a game between Sun Tingshi and the Boling Cui clan!
In an instant, he quickly recruited the county lieutenant of Anping and asked him to scatter all the officials of the county government to prevent the conflict between the Boling Cui clan and the hungry people.
Fortunately, both sides were quite restrained, and the Boling Cui clan only did not allow the hungry people to approach Huangcheng Village, and did not make any additional moves.
The hungry people also seem to be organized, although it is inevitable to steal chickens and dogs, but basically take care of their own food and lodging, and there are no vicious cases.
This made Lin Tongsheng, the Anping County Order, breathe a sigh of relief!
If thousands of hungry people really make trouble in Anping County, the consequences will be unimaginable, and they will even lose their black yarn hats because of this, no wonder Lin Tongsheng is like a great enemy, so cautious.
In the blink of an eye, the twenty-third day of the lunar month has arrived.
……
"Destroy the chicken shop, there is food!"
"Destroy the chicken shop, there is money to spend!"
"Ruined chicken fang, good for the New Year!"
"Destroy the chicken shop and have a good year!"
Amidst the shouts, thousands of hungry people lined up in a neat line and drove in the direction of Huangcheng Village.
Although there are not as many tens of thousands of people as Humpty Dumpty said when he agitated in Dongtingzhuang, there are always 10,000 people who are miscellaneous.
In the eyes of these people, there is madness, stubbornness, grief and anger, and even greed!
They approached Huangcheng Village step by step, and approached the Boling Cui clan step by step!
Soon, it's just a stone's throw away!
The people of the Boling Cui clan were solemn and guarded the Erli place outside Huangcheng Village to prevent the hungry people from really attacking Huangcheng Village and ruining their carefully purchased chicken farm.
However, the officials of Anping County had already been instructed by the county magistrate Lin Tongsheng, and they were somewhat partial to help these hungry people who came to make trouble, which made the children of the Boling Cui clan very passive.
Soon, the people of the Boling Cui clan began to retreat step by step and retreated to Huangcheng Village.
Squeak ~~
All the people of the Boling Cui clan withdrew to Huangcheng Village. The drawbridge was hoisted as soon as possible, and the city gates were closed.
The private soldiers of the Cui clan on the city wall patrolled left and right, and their bows and knives were unsheathed, and they were completely in a situation of facing the enemy.
The hungry people outside the city were furious when they saw this.
They constantly shouted slogans, and even under the advance arrangement of the sneaky people, they brought ladders, siege vehicles......
Prepare to forcibly storm Huangcheng Village!
The situation is at stake!
……
At this time, outside Huangcheng Village.
Not far behind the surging ranks of hungry people.
Someone temporarily erected a simple platform, surrounded by dozens of guards of big men, and some people were drinking and having fun on the stage.
The man on the left, sitting loosely on the futon, about fifty years old, dressed in silk and satin, with a clear face, five long hairs fluttering in the wind, looking like a rich idler.
It is Dingzhou Thorn Shi Sun Yangao!
The one on the right is his dog-headed military division, Fan Guanglie, who joined the army in Dingzhou.
Sun Yangao put down the cup gently, coughed lightly, and asked, "Fan joins the army, think about it carefully, is there anything wrong with this operation?" Can you ruin Cui Erlang's chicken farm, just today! ”
Fan Guanglie wiped the wine stains on the side of his mouth and quipped, "What? Didn't Lord Assassin Shi say earlier that in the position of raising chickens and eliminating locusts, you and Cui Erlang are both prosperous and loss-making? Today is finally willing to draw a line with him and destroy his chicken farm? ”
Sun Yangao's face tightened, and he said angrily: "You ......"
Sun Yangao was squeezed by Fan Guanglie like such a red fruit, and he also had bitter words in his heart! If it weren't for the fact that the boss wanted to take advantage of the locust plague to start an incident in Dingzhou, where would he come to ruin Cui Erlang's chicken farm?
As for who his boss is, it is naturally not the Great Zhou court, let alone the Empress Wu. Thinking about this, Sun Yangao really wanted to fuck Fan Guanglie, the old dog, if it wasn't for this old dog pinching his veins and asking him to go into the water, how could he get mixed with that kind of person? The dignified three-grade assassin history of the Great Zhou court, the famous feudal official, actually wants to do the things of forgetting his ancestors, it is sad to think about it.
"Hehe, don't be angry, the lower official is just joking!"
Fan Guanglie got up with a smile, poured a glass of wine for Sun Yangao, and said, "Don't worry, there is absolutely no negligence in the lower officials this time." He Cui Erlang now wants to keep the chicken farm, and if he wants to rely on raising chickens to achieve the goal of eliminating locusts, there are only two ways to go. One of them is to continue to resist stubbornly. But among these hungry people, there are good men in the army arranged by Brother Li, and once the conflict breaks out, there will not be one or two people who die. At that time, the adults can go to the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty and impeach him for the crime of disregarding human life. ”
Sun Yangao snorted and nodded: "Thousands of hungry people come to peace with grievances, if they destroy his Boling Cui clan's chicken farm, they will not be guilty of death, after all, the law does not blame the public." But if there is really a weapon fight, and thousands of lives are lost for this, hehe, not to mention that he Cui Erlang is a five-grade Dingzhou governor, even if the entire Boling Cui clan is dispatched, they can't bear it! ”
"Yes, once his chicken farm is destroyed, then the matter of eliminating locusts in Dingzhou is estimated to be over. When the time comes, the locust plague will be together, and we will have to explain it to the above. ”
Fan Guanglie said: "As for the second way, it is that he Cui Erlang and Boling Cui Shi confessed, pinched their noses and bought all the eggs of chicken farmers in Dingzhou as compensation. Although this move cannot fundamentally solve the problem, it can at least fool the nearly 10,000 peasant households besieging Huangcheng Village in front of them. ”
Sun Yangao asked with some concern: "So... So what if Cui Erlang and Boling Cui are really willing to settle the matter and buy all the eggs of these chicken farmers as compensation? ”
"Don't worry, my lord, Xia Guan has already guarded against him. A few days ago, Xia Guan not only sent someone to secretly buy a lot of Anping eggs sold by the Cui family, but also bought a batch of them in large quantities from the neighboring state capital. He Cui Erlang really dared to admit it, and paid out of his own pocket to recycle the eggs, hehe, let's ask for a price all over the sky, and sell him fifty wen for a pound of eggs, and see how he ends up when the time comes. Hehe, he has mountains of gold and silver, and it's not enough to be so bad. ”
"That's a good backhand." Sun Yangao nodded in agreement.
But soon, Sun Yangao shook his head again and said, "No, what if they are willing to accept fifty yuan a catty?" Even if Cui Geng doesn't have so much cash, don't forget, behind him is the Cui family with five surnames and seven Wangbo Lingwang clans! The Bolingcui clan has stood brilliantly for hundreds of years without falling, do you really think they can't get that much silver? You're going to make it impossible for the Bolingcui clan to come up with that much cash, hehe, how many eggs do you have to bring up? Even if you ...... the whole of Dingzhou"
"It's not just Dingzhou, even if the lower officials hoard all the eggs in the four nearby states, it's far from enough!"
Fan Guanglie didn't wait for Sun Yangao to finish speaking, and then answered: "So, the next official took precautions, in addition to hoarding all the eggs in the neighboring five states, including Dingzhou, he also swept away all the eggs on the market in more than ten other state capitals in Hebei Province!" ”
"Hiss......"
Sun Yangao was already shocked by Fan Guanglie's generosity, and suddenly, his face suddenly darkened, and he asked a little unpleasantly: "Fan joined the army, where did you get so much silver?" Such a big stroke, hehe, it's not tens of thousands of strokes! ”
As soon as Fan Guanglie heard this, he knew that Sun Yangao, a money slave, must have suspected that he was carrying black money behind his back, so he hurriedly explained: "My lord misunderstood, this silver is not my money alone, and the money allocated from above. In order to knock out Cui Erlang's chicken farm and let the locust plague occur smoothly, the military expenses prepared for this uprising were allocated to eighty percent, all of which were used to buy eggs. The above means that this time we will not only destroy the chicken farm and let the locust plague flood, but also make a big profit for him! ”
"Earn a handful?"
Sun Yangao's eyes lit up this time surprisingly when he didn't hear the silver, but sighed a little unoptimisticly: "The art of war is cloudy, and you don't think about victory before you think about defeat." What if this Cui Erlang also has something to prepare? Fan joins the army, you and I have suffered at his hands, not once or twice! ”
Cui Erlang also prepared a backhand?
Fan Guanglie, who has been bursting with self-confidence in the past few days, couldn't help but feel excited when he heard Sun Yangao's words!
He thought of the last time in order to raise military expenses, he asked his biological brother Fan Guangming to plan the kidnapping case of Cui Lier. Unexpectedly, Cui Geng was involved in this matter. As a result, his brother Fan Guangming not only did not get rid of Cui Geng, but also let the 100,000 taels of gold ransom disappear, and even lost more than half of the mountain bandits in Wohu Mountain.
Because of this, the boss already has a lot of complaints about himself. If something goes wrong again this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to save my life! You must know that this time, in order to purchase eggs from more than a dozen state capitals in Hebei Province, he applied for the allocation of eighty percent of the military expenses for the uprising. If this money is smashed in your hands, the incident will be stopped!
"No, no! He Cui Erlang is not the reincarnation of Zhuge Kongming, let alone an unpredictable prophet, how can he have so many followers? While cheering himself up, Fan Guanglie confessed to Sun Yangao, and came out and made subtle adjustments and arrangements.
It wasn't until he told his confidant again that he gradually relieved himself.
Seeing that it was almost noon, nearly 10,000 chicken-raising people were hungry and thirsty, and the resentment and anger against the Boling Cui clan had reached its peak.
It's almost time for the fire!
Fan Guanglie glanced at the left and right, waved his hand, and ordered: "Yang Shao, Ou Hui, do it!" ”
"Whoa!"
The two took the order and went straight to the team of chicken raisers who were making trouble in front of them.
The effort was not great, and someone in the team soon made a loud noise: "Oh no, Cui Geng's guy really didn't leave me and others a way to live, he actually transferred government soldiers!" ”
", I heard that he has invited the government soldiers from the Zhichong Governor's Mansion in several neighboring states, there are thousands of people, and it is said that he will kill all of us!"
"He also threatened not only to take the lives of our people, but also to sue the imperial court, frame us for rebellion, and want to connect our families and send three thousand miles!"
"I was surrounded on all sides, and I couldn't run. This dog official's heart is so poisonous! ”
……
Under the secret impetus of well-intentioned people, the rumors spread quickly and intensified.
Gradually, the panicked anger of these people reached its peak.
Suddenly, someone in the team shouted one after another: "Afraid of his ball? The head is off, the bowl is big and scarred, and eighteen years later, he is a hero again! Let's fight with the surname Cui! ”
"Yes, fight! He didn't give us a way to live, so we dragged them to be buried with us! ”
"Killing one is enough, killing two to earn one!"
Suddenly, the speed at which the team rushed forward increased a few points.
Dozens of ladders are also slowly moving forward.
There are already cloud ladders that have begun to approach the city wall of Huangcheng Village, and some people have rushed to the front, only twenty steps away from the city gate of Huangcheng Village!
Just when this touch was about to happen, there was a boom!
Under the heavy muffled sound, the suspension bridge in Huangcheng Village was slowly lowered, and the city gate opened by itself.
Immediately afterwards, a cavalry rushed out, majestic and vicious!
The first person is Feng Changqing, he is dressed in Mingguang armor, his crotch ~ under the black horse, and the eight snake spear spears in his palm, like the killing god descending on Zhang Fei to reincarnate!
Feng Changqing's murderous name has already become famous in Dingzhou.
Someone saw that the Cui family dispatched cavalry, and also sent this fierce man surnamed Feng to take the lead, and couldn't help but be afraid, what did this Cui Erlang want to do? Didn't he even give us a chance to negotiate?
Fan Guanglie also received the news that Feng Changqing led his cavalry out of the city in the rear, which was obviously a big surprise to him. He didn't expect Cui Erlang to be so strong and resolute, and he actually wanted to be tough!
He couldn't help but secretly wonder, could it be that Cui Geng really wanted to kill a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood? Isn't this exactly what I'm doing, but with Cui Erlang's usual methods and the city government, shouldn't he be so impulsive and unwise?
