Chapter 820: Treasure Map
Yiyun invited some of the most trusted people in the village, and gathered the apprentices together, and when he talked about it, everyone couldn't help but feel happy, the gang of people in the Great Black Mountain really made the people of Huangcun suffer too much, if they could succeed this time, it would be great!
Of course, there are two concerns.
One is worried that the tiger will be driven away in front, but the wolf will come behind. Obviously, Xue Zhutou's thoughts are not so simple, he still thinks about treasures, he is afraid that he will not do his best to suppress bandits in the name, and he is afraid that he will continue to plague Huangcun like a thief for the sake of treasure maps.
On the one hand, they suspected that if he made an appointment to meet Yiyun, would he set up a trap to trap Yiyun like Xie Datie?
Yiyun's opinion, for a person like Xue Zhutou, he would not do anything without interest. The immediate benefit is that although the task issued by the county order to suppress bandits for the sake of political achievements, if it succeeds, it will also benefit him, and if it fails, it will not benefit him. Long-term interests are his thoughts on the treasure. He needs to find a helper, both in the immediate and in the long run, so the future will be discussed later.
As for the question of whether he will try his best to suppress the bandits, this really requires the cooperation and supervision of Huang Village. However, one of them has suffered several losses in the hands of Xie Datie, and now he wants to exterminate Xie Datie, and he will not sit still if he wants to come to Xie Datie, and the two parties are very likely to fight to the death.
Anyway, Xue Zhutou has an official status, so no matter how bad he is, he can't be as unscrupulous as a bandit, and he will respond according to his behavior in the future. In short, the benefits of suppressing bandits outweigh the disadvantages for Huangcun, and without the bandits running rampant, it would be much more convenient to go to the county to do a small business or something.
Yiyun's words made everyone agree with it.
As for his own safety, Yiyun felt that Xue Zhutou still needed his help and cooperation at present, and he should not be so anxious. Therefore, as long as you are careful and take precautions on this trip, there will be no more problems.
In addition, the most important thing now is to pay attention to confidentiality. There is no problem for Yiyun to pass through the big black mountain by himself, but it is too conspicuous to meet Xue Zhutou halfway. So it's better to go on your own!
After discussing the matter and arranging the village properly, Yiyun and the messenger sneaked through the Great Black Mountain in the early morning of the next day and headed for the county seat.
To be precise, the main reason for this meeting was that Yiyun and Xue Zhutou were very interested in each other, and deepening understanding was the basis for further cooperation, so Yiyun had to go to this forty-mile road to meet Xue Zhutou.
The place where the two parties agreed to meet was not in the city. Xue Zhutou was also very cautious, probably to avoid suspicion or other reasons, he chose a tea stall not far from the city gate as a place to talk.
Or maybe he didn't think that Yiyun was enough to treat him as a guest, but Yiyun didn't care about this at all, and it saved Yiyun from being unfamiliar with the roads in the city, which was not conducive to his trouble.
The messenger accompanied Yiyun to the tea stall. And he went into the city by himself. Yiyun looked around, and there were only two tables in the entire tea stall, one of which sat next to two officials and officials, drinking tea and chatting, and the other table where only one person wearing a hat sat alone.
Yiyun walked straight to the table where one was alone, sat down opposite, unceremoniously poured himself a bowl of tea, lifted it up and drank it all.
The two officials looked at him in surprise, but they didn't say anything.
Their appearance made Yiyun see it, and Yiyun felt more confident in his heart. So he whispered to the hatholder: "Xue Zhutou is good!"
Xue Zhutou in front of him did not raise his head, still lowered his head, and said in a low voice: "Brother Wang is really extraordinary, how do you know that it is me?"
Yiyun replied lightly: "A person is the appearance of waiting for someone." The two were too conspicuous to talk. ”
Xue Zhutou chuckled, admiring Yiyun's accurate judgment in his heart, and this intentional or unintentional temptation immediately made him look at Yiyun.
Two officials sat there. It seemed to play a role in temporarily clearing the scene, so Yiyun and Xue Zhutou's conversation was not worried that someone would come to eavesdrop on it.
Xue Zhutou, who was nearly middle-aged and shrewd, mainly wanted to understand the basic situation of the Great Black Mountain, including the terrain, the number of bandits, weapons and defense, etc., and Yiyun also answered him one by one.
Xue Zhutou is really a very realistic person. Before the action began, he came to discuss with Yiyun the division of the results after this operation. He unabashedly demanded that Yiyun not touch the treasure map and the belongings in the cottage after breaking through the cottage. It's a rhythm that you want to swallow alone.
It was clear that he wanted to take the lead and dominate the fruits of victory. It is only the same meaning, and the cloud leads people to catch the fish that slip through the net on the periphery.
-- This is really a wonderful irony, Yiyun is a folk figure who cares about and values the elimination of bandits and the restoration of peace to the people, while Xue Zhutou, who is about to come forward on behalf of the official and professionally arrests thieves, instead seriously talks to Yiyun about the ownership of interests and property.
But I don't want to worry about him, as long as I implement the task of suppressing bandits. Yiyun only had one objection: the property in the cottage was originally plundered from the villagers in the surrounding area, and it was not appropriate to give it to the villagers without dividing the points.
Xue Zhutou rejected Yiyun's construction on the grounds that all the property should be handed over and the county magistrate would decide how to deal with it.
Yiyun didn't insist, because in his heart, he naturally knew Xie Datie's consistent style, I'm afraid he wouldn't let Xue Zhutou do everything he wanted, right? So if he didn't give some additional benefits, he was afraid that this Xue Zhutou incident would be tossed in Huangcun later.
As for the treasure map, it's a hot potato. Yiyun can see it, and Xue Zhutou seems to be still looking forward to it passionately, then let him be, if it is really in his hands, see if he can catch it!
Yiyun's cheerfulness surprised Xue Zhutou, and he didn't want him to think about it again, in the matter of suppressing bandits, Yiyun himself said that he was willing to cooperate. It is obvious that Huang Cun has a request for himself, so Yiyun probably knows that he can't fight, so he is so interested and doesn't fight.
The next point of discussion is the treasure map.
Yiyun has promised that he only wants to catch Xie Datie, and the treasure map will belong to Xue Zhutou, and everyone will talk about cooperation in the future; now Yiyun is willing to make concessions on the issue of dealing with the bandits, but it is not that Yiyun also agrees with this distribution method in the matter of the distribution of treasures.
He said it solemnly on the surface, but inside he was secretly funny. In Xue Zhutou's opinion, Yiyun's reaction couldn't be more normal, he thinks that Yiyun wants to exchange the current little sweetness for the big benefits in the future, hehe, who can say what will happen in the future...... Even the small ones refuse to let go, let alone the big ones.
Both of them tacitly made their own plans and did not say anything. (To be continued......)
