Chapter 1305
I was escorted all the way, but did not encounter a moth. Ying Yi was also worried that she would encounter a gangster who was defeated during the day and cause some minor troubles. She didn't expect a worry for nothing.
Why send family members and craftsmen to Xiaowangzhuang? Although many commoners have been moved to Fangcheng Mountain, they are deep in the mountains. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Zheng Yunzhi did not set up a stronghold outside the mountain. In addition, because of the tight time and the night, there was no time to send them to the mountains in one go, so I chose Xiaowangzhuang.
Jianchuang, and arrived at Xiaowangzhuang soon, Ying Yi left the people he had brought with him to protect the county’s family and craftsmen, so he had to return to Ye County alone.
Zheng Yunzhi’s wife, Lee, was quite worried, and told Ying Yi: "The general is careful along the way!"
Ziniang and little fishy are also standing aside, looking at him timidly .
Ying Yi hugged cup one fist in the other hand, and turned on her horse: "Madam, don’t worry, the county honor will be delivered to you before dawn."
Then she told Zhou Li and Lian Biao said: "Be alert and don't relax your vigilance. If there is an accident, immediately escape into the mountains."
"Yes, a hundred households!"
The two suddenly stopped simultaneously.
Moment before Yinshi, Ying Yi returned to Yexian again and met Zheng Yunzhi.
Zheng Yunzhi held a torch and said with a smile: "If you don't come back, I'll set fire."
He sighed as he said, "What a wonderful county, actually I have to burn it. As a County Magistrate, I am ashamed of the commoners and the emperor!"
Ying Yi said: "The temporary retreat is for the future. As long as the provisions can be kept, everything is worth it. If the county seat is gone, you can slowly repair it in the future. When the provisions are gone, you will have to starve to death. If you stay in the county seat, you will definitely not be able to stop the thief, and death will be meaningless. It also makes the thief wonder why we resist so resolutely. Still can't keep it. If we take the initiative to retreat, the thief will think that the county has no nostalgia, and will not doubt it."
In fact, Zheng Yunzhi thinks so.
What he did was to keep the provisions. If sticking to the county seat can keep the provisions, he doesn't mind coexisting and dying with the county seat. Ying Yi also saw this point. This scholar has a higher quality than most other scholars in this era, which is why Ying Yi admires him.
It was precisely because he knew that he would not be able to hold on tightly, but would arouse the curiosity and suspicion of the thief, he agreed to Ying Yi's suggestion without the slightest hesitation.
"Let's go."
Zheng Yunzhi's face was calm, he threw the torch in his hand into the house, turned around and left. Ying Yi followed him, the flames gradually rising behind him.
On the street, the soldiers threw the torch into the houses on both sides, and thick smoke began to rise. When everyone got out of the city gate, the county seat had already started to burn.
Zheng Yunzhi didn't turn his head back, she took the lead and plunged into the darkness.
This night, the fire in Yexian County illuminated the night, and half of the sky was glowing red.
At dawn, Hao Yaoqi came to Yexian with soldiers and horses. He only felt a rush of heat assaults the senses. He couldn't help frowning: "Call someone in and have a look. The dog enters, the dog officer is good. The big handwriting burned the county seat and ran away!" After the defeat yesterday, Hao Yaoqi fled in embarrassment, and finally gathered the broken soldiers. He counted and lost nearly 2,000 people. He was angry. Rage like thunder, killing seven or eight people in a row extinguished their anger. He thought about it, he was very unwilling, but he was afraid that the king would know about the affairs here. Thinking that also three thousand soldiers and horses had intercepted the army pay, he planned to take a rest for the whole night, and let Yexian first, and waited for the army pay to be eaten. , And then join forces to come back to trouble Ye County.
Ye County burned in the early morning of Yin Shi. At that time, Hao Yaoqi was sleeping soundly, without knowing it. In the morning, I led the soldiers south to Erlang Mountain, and when I passed by, I realized something was wrong. I hurriedly came over and saw that Ye County was already a piece of white land.
This makes Hao Yaoqi feel vaguely happy, but also a little aggrieved.
The dog official who entered the dog, killed him for a while yesterday, and ran away before he could get revenge!
The old thief who went to check in the city came back soon and said: "It's all burned out, the owner. Do you want to search it carefully?"
Hao Yaoqi groaned:" Search for a fart. People from Yexian have gone to the city for a long time, and all the grassroots can take away. Now there is a fire, and there is no root hair left. What is there to search for. Go, go to Erlang Mountain, where is it? It's a big deal!"
...
Xiaowangzhuang.
Before dawn, Ying Yi arrived again.
Getting off the horse, Ying Yi pointed to the tomb at the entrance of the village: “The slaughtered folks are buried in it.” Then he pointed to a small grave next to him: “I’m Big Brother Zhang, my niece, Right here."
Zheng Yunzhi trimmed the crown and bowed to the grave.
"The world is so difficult, but officials cannot benefit the commoners, nor can they protect the safety of the commoners. I really feel ashamed."
Ying Yi shook the head, just sighed.
This has always been the case in the last years of the dynasty. It hasn't changed for thousands of years. It must be completely reversed, unless there is a permanent dynasty to suppress it forever and keep peace forever. Otherwise, it will be reincarnation again and again, endless calamities forever.
The arrival of Zheng Yunzhi has made many people relaxed. Speaking of his prestige, there is no doubt about it. Whether it is a soldier or a craftsman, what Zheng Yunzhi eats is the rice bowl. Moreover, Zheng Yunzhi is an excellent official, and people naturally agree with him.
As for Zheng Yunzhi's family, there is no need to say more. Now it is stable.
"The military pay is hidden here?"
Zheng Yunzhi entered Zhuangzi and asked.
Ying Yi nodded: "It's inside." He took Zheng Yunzhi to a place covered with grass dust: "It's down here."
Zheng Yunzhi looked at it: "It's pretty good. If you don't know it, you won't be able to tell."
Ying Yi said: "Two million taels is not a small number. Do you need to get it out and transport it to the mountains?"
Jung Yunzhi shook the head: "No. For the time being, this is fine. The quantity is too large, the mountain road is rugged, and it is too troublesome to transport now. I will talk about it later when I have time."
Ying Yi is slightly nodded.
Take a break, cover up the village, erase the traces, and the entire group enters the mountain.
The mountain road is rugged and densely covered with thorns. A scholar like Zheng Yunzhi probably never walked this mountain road. And it’s not easy to ride a horse. Especially his wives, concubines and children, the largest scholarly family, it is the most inconvenient to cross mountains and ridges.
Seeing how difficult they are walking, Ying Yi took the time to make two frames, with a little fishy on one side and Zi Niang on the other. He walked with one shoulder.
Zheng Yunzhi and his concubine walked with each other, watching from behind, he couldn't help smiling.
Ying Yi picked up two people, also like straws, not feeling the slightest weight, and said: "I went into the mountains to hunt, and didn't expect bad news when I came back. Only Sun Xiu escaped. I lost my life. So I went after it, and set a fire at night to rescue the villagers who had been taken away. But Xiaowangzhuang was destroyed and there was no safety at all. I thought of a valley I found in the mountains during hunting. Place the surviving folks inside."
"When I chased and killed a tiger, I thought that the talented person had no power to bind the chicken, so I sent him to Yexian and asked him to wait for me. If I kill If I get a tiger, I will pick him up. If I can’t kill a tiger, I will go to Kaifeng to hunt and kill it, and I will also pass through Ye County. It happened that he was in Ye County to help me inquire about the news. Didn't expect Yangcuo, what it looks like now."
