Chapter 15
Act rashly and alert the enemy?
Ying Yi's heart turned, and she couldn't help but nod slightly.
If the thieves take the lead in defeating Ye County, then this batch of military salaries will definitely not arrive in Ye County again, and there will be variables. This is one of them. Ying Yi also thinks that maybe Hao Shaoqi wants to swallow it alone. Two million taels of silver is not a small amount, and with Hao Shaoqi's thief's temperament, it is more common sense to eat dry and wipe clean.
Ying Yi thought of the woman surnamed Yuan for a while, maybe this woman thought about it and would suffer a big loss in the end. She took refuge in the thieves and took the news of the military salary as her name. But if this batch of military salaries is secretly swallowed by Hao Shaoqi, in order to prevent the news from reaching the ears of the thieves, who knows that Hao Shaoqi will not kill people ruthlessly!
Yingyi thought clearly, and thought of all the possible impossible.
even thought of what Zheng Yunzhi, the county commander of Ye County, did, and thought that although this person was a good official, he was incompetent. But now it seems that it may be related to this batch of military salaries.
According to the current situation, as soon as the military salary arrives, Yexian County will definitely become the frontline core of the war against thieves again, and when the Huguang soldiers are here, this will be the military town. The people stayed here, and with the evil strategy of Zuo Liangyu and others, I am afraid that they will suffer from it. It's better to let them go earlier and fend for themselves.
At the same time, the county seat was vacated for the placement of soldiers and horses, and then there were fewer fish and clear water, so as to avoid the mixing of fish and dragons, confusing the ears and eyes, and also reducing a lot of trouble.
Thinking of this, Ying Yi suddenly reversed his opinion of Zheng Yunzhi, maybe this county lord is indeed capable.
The thought was only for a moment, and after thinking about it, Yingyi asked again: "Then what are your plans?"
asked this question, and before the old thief could answer, Ying Yi thought of it by himself. It is nothing more than waiting for the military salary to arrive, Hao Shaoqi's army came to the city, besieged Yexian regiments, and then the inside and outside should be combined, eat dry and wipe clean.
The key to this is the time difference.
In other words, the military salary must come earlier than the Huguang soldiers. Otherwise, the Huguang soldiers will come first, and the military salary will arrive later, and Hao Shaoqi's possible monopoly will be lost. With Hao Shaoqi's own troops and horses, he will definitely not be able to take tens of thousands of Huguang soldiers.
"Even if you are a thief, you must be a little smart to get this far. I can now be sure that if he can monopolize the army's salary, Hao Shaoqi will not let go, if he can't, he will definitely tell the thieves, and then the army will attack together, and he will also have the credit. ”
At this time, this thief was no longer of value to Yingyi, and he was about to break the thief's neck and take his true spirit. But it suddenly stopped.
thought: "Sun Xiucai and Er Niu are still in Ye County, in case the incident is in these two days, and I leave, they will be in danger..."
After thinking about it, Yingyi pressed his thumb on the old thief's neck, and the old thief fainted without saying a word. Then Yingyi mentioned his old thief, walked the streets and alleys, and returned to Xishan Tower after a while. Sandwiched the old thief under his ribs, he climbed over the wall, avoided a few little second brothers, and quietly went back to Sun Xiucai's room.
At this time, Sun Xiucai and Er Niu were in the room.
"Brother Ying'er!"
Seeing Yingyi come back with someone, the two were taken aback.
Sun Xiucai said: "Who is this?"
Ying Yi closed the door: "Listen to me." ”
Just tell me all about the previous things.
When Sun Xiucai heard this, his mouth opened wide. They could never have imagined that there was such an important matter here.
After finishing speaking, Ying Yi gave the two of them a little time to digest, and then said, "There are two ways now." First, regardless of it. Immediately go out of the city with me, and leave the land of right and wrong early. Second, hand over this old thief to Zheng Yunzhi, and then plan it and give the thief a ruthless blow. ”
Sun Xiucai and the two of them heard the news here, and they were six gods without masters. Although Sun Xiu is a scholar, he has no talent in machine changes. When something unexpected happens, you will be blind. Not to mention Erniu. Hearing Yingyi's two proposals, Sun Xiucai and Erniu reacted and made diametrically opposite choices.
Erniu thought that he should leave immediately. And Sun Xiucai felt that the old thief should be handed over to the county lord Zheng Yunzhi.
This is the difference in status that leads to the difference in choice. Erniu is just a flat-headed people, and the biggest characteristic of flat-headed people is that they don't want to cause trouble. But Sun Xiucai is a scholar, and the vision of a scholar is generally higher than that of ordinary people.
The two made a choice, and finally looked at Yingyi together.
Ying Yi was silent for a while, and said, "I have an idea, you can help me refer to it." ”
Sun Xiucai and Erniu immediately cheered up.
I heard Yingyi say: "Two million taels of silver is a huge wealth, and it must not fall into the hands of thieves who have lost their conscience." But the officers and soldiers are also rice buckets, such as Zuo Liangyu and others, I am afraid that Xiucai has also heard of it, and its bad things are no less than thieves. ”
Ying Yi said this, and stopped.
Sun Xiucai gradually came back to his senses, and said with a surprised face: "Brother Ying'er, you are too bold! That's two million taels of silver!"
The two cows are confused.
Yingyi said: "I'm not surprised by the millions of taels of silver, but..."
Ying Yi had some vague thoughts in her heart, but she was still very vague, and she didn't have a clue for a while, and said: "What happened to the villagers in Xiaowangzhuang makes me difficult to let go of from time to time. In this world, how many people have suffered the same as Xiao Wangzhuang? If there are these two million taels of silver, maybe they can do more. ”
Erniu didn't know, but Sun Xiucai took a long breath, he gritted his teeth, his eyes burst out with unprecedented light, and said fiercely: "I'll help you!"
"I'll help you too, Brother Ying. "Erniu has no head and no brain.
Ying Yi nodded: "Okay." Let's think about it first..."
...
County office.
After Zheng Yunzhi implemented the strategy of restricting entry and exit, Yexian County lost a large number of people. By now, almost everything that can walk is almost gone. Except for some family businesses that are not small, it is not easy to relocate, and they need to prepare more, or there is no good place to go and they are still hesitating, the population of Ye County, old and young, may not exceed 1,000 people combined. Among them, there were more than 500 soldiers.
Even the standing officials of the county government have long since been disbanded.
The entire county government was deserted, revealing a sense of desolation.
Jung Yunzhi is in her thirties and is in her prime. He is not a rigid person, but he attaches great importance to rules. Especially for yourself, be strict. Even if Ye County is like this, he is still dressed in an official robe every day, and he is neat.
At this time, Zheng Yunzhi was in the study, sat up straight and flipped through a book. The expression on his face was calm and resolute, and there was no decadence.
After a few knocks on the door, Zheng Yunzhi put down the book and said lightly: "Come in." ”
"Sir. ”
An old butler in his forties and fifties pushed the door open.
Zheng Yunzhi showed a smile: "Uncle Huai, what's wrong?"
This Uncle Huai is Zheng Yunzhi's old servant. Get along for decades, and it's no worse than relatives.
Uncle Huai said: "Master, Li Xiucai, the county's Lisheng Li Xiucai, asks to see you." ”
"Li Xiucai?" Zheng Yunzhi thought for a while: "Is it Li Mingyi from Beifang?"
"It's Li Xiucai. Uncle Huai said: "There are two others who came with him. One also seems to be a reader, and the other is hard to say. ”
"It's hard to say?" Zheng Yunzhi became interested and said, "Uncle Huai has been in personnel for a long time, and there are also people who don't look bad?"
Uncle Huai hurriedly said: "Where is the master?" The old slave just felt that the temperament of that person was very different. Tall and burly, it is said that he is a reckless person, but it is not like it. The temperament is calm, it is said that he is a reader, and there is less book aroma. ”
