Chapter 1286
beat the grass to scare the snake?
Ying Yi felt slightly nodded in her heart.
If Liu thief takes the lead to take down Ye County, then this batch of military pay will definitely not be transported to Ye County again, and there will be variables in it. This is one of them. Ying Yi also thought that perhaps Hao Yaoqi wanted to swallow it alone. Two million silver tael is not a small amount. With Hao Yaoqi's temperament, it is more common sense to eat cleanly.
Ying Yi thinks of the woman surnamed Yuan again for a while, maybe this woman will suffer a lot from some thoughts. She took refuge in the thieves and took the news of the military salary as a proof of allegiance. But if this batch of military pay is secretly swallowed by Hao Yaoqi, in order to prevent the news from reaching the thieves, Yanzhi Hao Yaoqi will not kill a witness to silence them!
Ying Yi has a clear mind, and thought of everything that might be impossible at once.
I even thought of the actions of County Magistrate Zheng Yunzhi in Yexian County. I 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 pay.
According to the current situation, as soon as the military pay arrives, Yexian will surely become the frontier core of another fight against thieves. When the army of Huguang arrives here, this will be the military town. The commoners stay here, because Zuo Liangyu and his like are afraid that they will suffer greatly. It would be better to let them go earlier and make a living on their own.
At the same time, the county seat is vacated for the placement of soldiers and horses, and there are fewer fish and clear water, avoiding fish and dragons mixed in together, confusing the eyes and ears, and reducing a lot of trouble.
Thinking of this, Ying Yi suddenly reversed her view of Zheng Yunzhi. Perhaps the county lord could indeed do something.
Just a moment’s thought, Ying Yi thought about it, and then asked: "Then what are your plans?"
When I asked this question, I didn’t wait for old thief to answer, Ying Yi I thought about it after I changed my mind. As soon as the military pay arrived, Hao Yaoqi's army approached the city and besieged Yexian Tuan Tuan.
The key to this is the time difference.
In other words, the army must come earlier than the Huguang soldiers. Otherwise, the Huguang soldiers will come first, and the army will arrive later, and the thoughts that Hao Yaoqi may have will be overwhelmed. With Hao Yaoqi's own troops and horses, he would definitely not be able to win tens of thousands of Huguang soldiers.
"Even if you are a thief, you must be a little clever to get to this step. I am now sure that Hao Yaoqi will not let it go if he can swallow the army pay alone, and he will tell the thief if he can't. , And then the army will attack, and he cannot do without any credit."
At this time, this thief is worthless to Ying Yi. He is about to twist the thief’s neck and take him True Spirit. . But suddenly stopped.
Thinking: "Sun Xiucai and Er Niu are still in Yexian. It will be in these two days since the incident, and if I leave, they will be in danger..."
After thinking about it, Ying Yi pressed her thumb on old thief's neck, and old thief fainted without saying a word. Then Ying Yi mentioned his old thief, walked through the streets, and returned to the Western Mountain building not long after. Holding the old thief under his ribs, he stepped in over the wall, avoiding the few second brothers, and quietly touched back to Sun Xiucai's room.
At this time, Sun Xiucai and Er Niu are in the room.
"Brother Ying!"
Seeing Ying Yi came back with a man, the two startedled.
Sun Xiucai said: "Who is this?"
Ying Yi closed the door: "Listen to me."
Just take the previous thing, one after another said.
Sun Xiucai listened to the two, both mouth opened wide. They couldn't think of something as important as this also.
After finishing speaking, Ying Yi gave the two people some time to digest, and then said: "There are two ways now. First, don't care. You immediately follow me out of the city and leave this place of right and wrong earlier. . Second, give this old thief to Zheng Yunzhi, and then beating somebody at their own game to give the Liu thief a ruthless one."
The two Sun Xiucai heard the news here, and the Liushen has no master. Although Sun Xiucai is scholar, there is no talent in terms of machine change. If you encounter unexpected things, you will be blind. Not to mention Erniu. Hearing Ying Yi's two proposals, Sun Xiucai and Er Niu reacted and made diametrically opposite choices.
The Erniu thinks that he should leave immediately. Sun Xiucai felt that the old thief should be handed over to the county lord Zheng Yunzhi.
This is the difference in status, leading to different choices. Erniu is just a flat-headed commoners. The biggest feature of flat-headed commoners is that they are unwilling to cause trouble. But Sun Xiucai is a scholar, whose vision is generally higher than that of ordinary commoners.
The two made a choice, and finally simultaneously looked towards Ying Yi.
Ying Yi was silent for a while, and said: "I have an idea, you can help me to refer to it."
Sun Xiucai and Er Niu immediately cheered up.
Just listen to Ying Yi said: "Two million silver tael is a huge fortune, and it definitely cannot fall into the hands of the conscientious thief. However, the officers and soldiers are also like rice buckets, such as Zuo Liang. I am afraid that the scholars have also heard of Jade and his ilk, and their evil is no less than that of the thief."
When Ying Yi said this, she stopped.
Sun Xiucai gradually came over, with a look of surprise and said: "Brother Ying, you are too brave! That's two million silver tael!"
water.
Ying Yi said: "I'm not surprised by the millions of silver tael, but..."
There were some vague thoughts in Ying Yi's heart, but it was still very vague. Without any clue, he said: "The experience of the villagers in Xiaowangzhuang makes me feel uncomfortable. In this world, how many commoners have suffered the same as Xiaowangzhuang? If there are these two million silver taels, maybe I can do more."
Er Niu is ignorant, but Sun Xiucai took a long breath. He gritted his teeth, his eyes shot unprecedented light, fiercely said: "I will help you!"
"I I'll help you too, Ying brother.
Ying Yi nodded: "Okay. Let's take care of it first..."
...
The county government.
After Zheng Yunzhi implemented the strategy of restricting entry without restricting exit, the population of Yexian County lost a lot. By now, everything that can go is almost gone. Except for some family businesses that are not small, relocation is not easy, more preparations are needed, or those who are still hesitating when there is no good place to go, the population remaining in Ye County, the total number of people, probably does not exceed 1,000. Among them, there are more than 500 soldiers.
Even the standing government officials of the county government have long been disbanded.
The whole county government, cold and cheerless, reveals a sense of desolation.
Jung Yunzhi is in his thirties, which is in his prime. He can't be said to be rigid, but he is very disciplined. Especially for myself, strict requirements. Even if Ye Xian looks like this, he still wears an official gown every day, and he puts it all together.
At this time, Zheng Yunzhi was in the study, sitting upright, holding a book and flipping through it. His High God complexion was calm and determined, and he didn't have a sigh of exhaustion.
With a few knocks on the door, Zheng Yunzhi put down the book, indifferently said: "Come in."
"Master."
A 40-50 years old old steward pushed in.
Zheng Yunzhi showed a smile: "Uncle pregnant, something is going on?"
This uncle pregnant is Zheng Yunzhi's old servant. Get along for several decades, not worse than relatives.
Uncle Huai said: "Master, Li Xiucai from the county is asking for a meeting."
"Li Xiucai?" Zheng Yunzhi thought for a while: "Is it Li Mingyi from Beifang?"
"It is Li Xiucai." Uncle Huai said: "I came with him, also two. One seems to be scholar, the other is hard to say."
"Not good Say?" Zheng Yunzhi came to be interested, and said: "Uncle Huai has a long history of personnel, and there are people who are not good?" The outside is different. He is tall and burly, and it is not like a sloppy. He has a calm temperament, he is a scholar, and lacks the fragrance of books."
