Sign-in life from the county magistrate

Page 97

Could it be that the butler finally found out with his conscience?

At this time, he also saw Shen Yu and Peng Yan who had been quietly staring at him beside him, and immediately became vigilant.

"It was you who saved me?" But then Wan Cheng also realized that he didn't expect that it would be them who saved him in the end, which is really ridiculous.

"Isn't it surprising? Yes, I did save you. Wan Cheng, if I don't let you die, even if you want to die, it's an extravagant hope!"

"You are a smart man. I have also asked the black guard to investigate you for so many years. You are not too bad. Compared with those profiteers, you still have some conscience!"

Looking at the other party with a light smile, Shen Yu said lightly, "As long as you cooperate, I can save your life!"

"Save my life? Hahaha, my lord, do you really think I'm a three-year-old kid? If I don't say that I might still be alive, I'll die if I say so. I understand that!"

"What's more, I said I would die. If I don't say it, my family still has a job. My lord, if it were you, how would you choose!"

Chapter 2 The Impossible Man

"Master Shen, I found out after asking, it is indeed him!"

Peng Yan who said this was very nervous, almost gritting his teeth.Because what this name represents is too heavy, so heavy that even he has to be more careful.

Before, he was ordered to question Wan Cheng, and even patted Shen Yu's chest and said that even if he was beaten with iron, he could be roasted, but this Wan Cheng just didn't let go.

In Wan Cheng's view, as long as he let go, there are only four roads waiting for him.Under the threat of life and death, there is often unimaginable willpower.

Therefore, even though the people in front of the palace used all kinds of means, he gritted his teeth and persisted.

It's a pity that there are some things that he can't say if he doesn't want to say them.

In front of the palace, Wan Cheng was left dying, on the verge of collapse.Shen Yu used the Falling Soul Orb, coupled with the soul-absorbing technique of the Nine Yin Manual, to successfully get the information he really wanted from his mouth.

And it was this kind of information that made Peng Yan pale with fright, and even a little bit at a loss!

There are many officials colluding with the Sifang Chamber of Commerce. It is absolutely impossible to rely on only one or two people to empty the Nanling warehouse. The officials who were taken down before are only a part of them.

Most of the remaining people are still high-ranking and powerful people, occupying important positions in the Beishan region.

Among these people, the most powerful one is Pingdu Hou Linzhao who holds the military power in Beishan Region.It was this person who made Peng Yan's expression change several times.

Hearing this news, Peng Yan still didn't believe it at all.The Lin family where Pingdu Hou Linzhao lives is a family of generals, loyal and good for generations.The Lin family has guarded the northern border for generations, and countless people died in battle.

Ten years ago in the Northern War, five of the six generals of the Lin family were killed, and only Lin Zhao was left as a male. It can be said that the Lin family is full of loyalty.

From Peng Yan's point of view, this is definitely framed.Because it is possible for anyone, but it is impossible for the people of the Lin family. The loyalty of the Lin family is well known in the world.

The situation is very likely that even Wan Cheng himself was fooled, he thought it was Marquis Pingdu who instigated him, but in fact it might be faked by someone else.

But when Wan Cheng said these words, Shen Yu believed more than half of them.

A wealthy businessman who has been in the shopping malls for many years can build Sifang Chamber of Commerce to its current scale step by step from scratch. Naturally, Wan Cheng is not a simple character.

If he didn't even know who the person behind his back was instigating, then Wan Cheng would definitely not be in the position he is today.

So even if this answer is impossible, I am afraid there is a high probability that it is true.

In the end, Peng Yan still didn't give up, and interrogated Gu Qingzhou, the commander of Lujiang City's guards, again, and got exactly the same result.

The only one who can make the dignified commander of the guards sincerely support him, and even not hesitate to turn against the imperial envoy, is the loyal Lin family!

"Chang Dingjun, Marquis Pingdu, how could it be him, why would it be him!"

Raising his head, Peng Yan still didn't believe it, but the facts were all there, so he couldn't help but not believe it.But if Lin Zhao is really manipulating all this behind the scenes, it will be a big trouble.

This person holds the military power in his hand. In Beishan Region, it can be said that he is under one person and above [-] people. His status is second only to the Governor of Beishan Region.

But the key point is that the former governor of the Beishan region was taken down because of the lack of granaries in a daze, and it is said that he is still under review.

In other words, in fact, the current Beishan region is in the hands of this Pingdu Hou Linzhao.

At this moment, not only Peng Yan felt that the rain was about to come, but even Shen Yu felt that the Beishan region seemed to be covered by a big net, and this big net was getting tighter and tighter.

According to Wan Cheng himself, the grain has been hidden in the grain depot they built secretly since they shipped it, and has never been used.

Even if the famine came and the price of food soared outside, this Marquis of Pingdu still refused to sell a grain of food, but just watched.

In other words, the Marquis of Pingdu is not asking for money at all to get so much food, so what do they want to do with so much food.Unless it is used as military rations!

This guess directly made Shen Yu shudder.

Especially in this famine year, as long as there is enough food and some people are willing to sacrifice their lives, millions of troops can be raised casually.

The two big granaries were directly emptied, not only got the food, but also moved the mountain of the Governor of Beishan Region.

Great, I admire it!

"Master Shen, we are really in trouble this time!" Frowning tightly, Peng Yan suddenly felt that he didn't know what to do.

Fortunately, Master Shen just rescued Wan Cheng secretly. In the eyes of outsiders, Wan Cheng is dead and everything has been covered up.Otherwise, he was afraid that Pingdu Hou Linzhao would jump over the wall immediately.

Once the Changding army takes action, the Beishan region will be in chaos in an instant, and it may fall without even having time to react.

Without the constraints of the Governor's Office and the collusion of countless officials.The loyal Lin family, which has been in business for several generations, definitely has the capital and ability.

Lin Zhao, Marquis of Pingdu, joined the army as a young man and made great military exploits.Later, because of some things, he was a little depressed for a while, and then he was transferred from Beijiang to Beishan Region to command the Changding Army of Beishan Region.

Although the Changding Army does not belong to the Northern Territory Army, it is also a first-class army.The combat power is sturdy, not inferior to those weaker Northern Xinjiang legions.

And once the Changding army makes a go and even moves northward, cutting off the connection between the northern Xinjiang and the Beishan region, the consequences will be disastrous.

And if the Hu tribe took the opportunity to attack at this time, with the road cut off, the army of millions in northern Xinjiang would be in danger.

If the northern border is lost, the Hu tribe's iron cavalry will be able to drive straight in. At that time, the northern land will inevitably be corrupted, and even half of the dynasty will fall into war.

Once that time came, there would be corpses strewn all over the field and blood flowing like rivers.Most of the people in the dynasty will be displaced, and the impact will be ten times that of the current famine in the Beishan region!

Thinking of that scene, Peng Yan couldn't help shivering, his back was almost wet with cold sweat.

No, no matter what, we must never let such a thing happen!

"Master Shen, you don't seem to be worried?"

At this time, Peng Yan looked at Shen Yu for help, hoping that Master Shen could find a solution.

But in the end, he saw that Master Shen was not in a hurry, but was drinking tea leisurely.This scene almost made Peng Yan curse out of breath.

His anxious mouth is almost bubbling now, what's the matter with your calm face, I'm the only one who is anxious.

Brother, the fire is imminent, and you can sit still.

"Calm down!" Putting the teacup in his hand aside, Shen Yu said lightly, "In your opinion, if Xiaoyunwei and Changding Army are in a match, which one has the greater chance of winning?"

"This, it should be Xiaoyunwei!"

To be honest, Peng Yan was not sure, because the two had never fought before, and it was impossible for them to fight before.

But in his opinion, Xiao Yunwei had defeated [-] tent wolf cavalry head-on, and that was the strongest cavalry of the Hu tribe.Compared with it, the Changding Army is much worse.

If there were [-] large tent wolf cavalry and if they charged head-on, the Changding army would definitely not be able to please, and defeat might be the only result.

Therefore, under rounding, Xiaoyunwei should be stronger.

"Lieutenant Peng, haven't you noticed that Liang Ruyue is the only one following me since entering Beishan?"

"Yes, Mr. Shen, you told me about this matter. You asked He Yinshan to do some things, so he hasn't come back yet!"

"Yes, Captain Peng, does he know what I asked him to do?" With a slight smile, Shen Yu said lightly, "I asked him to secretly transfer Xiaoyunwei into the Beishan area with a gold medal in his hand!"

"At this time, the Xiaoyun Guard is ready to go, but the Changding Army doesn't know that we have made a move. Whether it is mental calculation or not, Captain Peng thinks there is still a threat from the Changding Army?"

"Hiss!" He couldn't help but gasped, Xiao Yunwei was actually transferred, no wonder He Yinshan's right-hand man was not there, it turned out that the troops had been transferred.

If Xiaoyunwei is in the Beishan area at this time, then everything will be easy to handle!

"Master Shen, shall we set off immediately?"

"No, we should be stared at by many eyeliners now. We have dealt with the Sifang Chamber of Commerce on the front foot. We will go to the Changding Army on the back foot. If we want to replace you, can you not doubt it?"

"So we can't scare the snake right now, let's deal with the Yushan Pirates first! Let this Marquis of Pingdu relax his vigilance!"

Speaking of this, Shen Yu's eyes flashed with murderous intent.I learned from Wan Cheng that he secretly notified Yu Shan Pirates that he was coming to grab food, and Yu Shan Pirates even desperately agreed!

There are countless master pirates in Yushan, who claim to come and go like the wind, and they have been in the northern mountain region for many years. There is nothing they dare not do. It can be said that they are very arrogant.

Now they even dare to make decisions about the food for disaster relief, and they are not afraid of dying!

"Hmph! Pirates of Yushan! You dare to make decisions about my food, it's very good!"

With a soft snort, Shen Yu picked up the teacup and took a sip. There was a chilling killing intent in his light voice, which made Peng Yan shiver uncontrollably.

After being targeted by Master Shen, the Yushan Pirates who have been criss-crossing the Northern Mountain Region for many years may become history in the near future.

Chapter 221 I Can't Run Away

"Brother, that's the grain transport team. It looks like there are at least tens of thousands of shi, no, 10,000+ shi of grain!"

In a canyon, thousands of people are hidden in the mountains and forests above the canyon, secretly observing the food transport team below the canyon.

This team is an army from Lujiang City, responsible for transporting food from Lujiang City to various places for relief to the victims.The string of grain carts made the mouth water.

In this famine year, the most precious thing is food.With food, there is everything.This 10,000+ stone grain is a golden mountain in front of their eyes!

And those people on both sides of the canyon were Yu Shan Pirates who got the news early.

In order to snatch this batch of food, they all mobilized and took out all their wealth, so naturally they couldn't return empty-handed!

Seeing that all the convoys had entered the canyon, finally, some of the Yushan Pirates couldn't bear it anymore.

"Brother, let's do it, don't miss this opportunity, once they walk out of the canyon, it will be too late!"

"Do it!" Gritting his teeth, the leader of the Yushan Pirates waved his hand violently, and everyone around him immediately made a move.During the rumbling sound, the two sides of the canyon were blocked by boulders.

Not only are the two sides of this canyon extremely high, but the terrain is also dangerous, making it difficult for even masters of Qinggong to climb.As long as the roads on the front and back sides are blocked, the people inside will become entangled.

"kill!"

With an order, all the Yushan Pirates were dispatched.Arrows fell like rain, causing the army below the canyon to be in chaos.

Originally, if such a terrain was set on fire, it would be enough to kill all the people inside without any effort.But what they want is food, of course they can't set fire to it, they can only choose to fight hard.

As for the loss of manpower, they said they don't care at all.In this famine year, as long as there is food, it is not necessary to have as many people as possible.

However, what surprised Yu Shan Pirates was that none of them rushed down. After a few rounds of arrow rain, the army in the canyon collapsed directly, leaving food and ran away.

It's really a bunch of trash, and the people who lead the army are even trash among trash, but they run pretty fast.

Seeing this scene, Pirate Yu went crazy and rushed down the canyon immediately.Looking at the grain carts scattered all over the floor, everyone's eyes lit up.

I thought it was a fierce battle, but I didn't expect those officers and soldiers to be so useless, and they got all the food without a single soldier.

"Brother, we've made a fortune! With this batch of food, we can recruit troops and expand aggressively! However, the Sifang Chamber of Commerce..."

"Sifang Chamber of Commerce? Huh!" With a cold snort, the leader of Yushan Pirates showed a sneer, and looked at the batch of grain in silence.

The person next to him immediately understood, and then laughed and said, "What is Sifang Chamber of Commerce? I heard that Sifang Chamber of Commerce ordered the new imperial envoy to seal it up. Where is the Sifang Chamber of Commerce?"

"These grains are all ours, no, they are all ours, and we don't need to distribute a grain of grain to anyone!"

"Yes, yes, that's right!" The words awakened the dreamer, and everyone immediately understood what the big brother meant.

Wiping the cold sweat off his forehead, it is not easy to be a bandit these days.If you misunderstand the meaning, it will be fatal.

"Brother, do you smell a strange smell!"

At this moment, someone beside him suddenly spoke, and the tip of his nose twitched.He seemed to smell something familiar, but he couldn't remember what it was for a while.

"Strange smell?" At this time, the people around seemed to have noticed it too, and after smelling it one after another, their faces changed drastically.

"Brother, it's fire oil!"

"Not good!" At this moment, the leader of Yu Shan Pirates immediately sensed something was wrong, and then shouted loudly, "Get out, get out!"

Unfortunately, when they rushed into the canyon below, it was already too late.Someone on both sides suddenly shot rockets, which ignited the fire oil below.

In an instant, raging fire surrounded everyone, devouring one person after another.The shrill screams followed one after another, causing the entire Yushan Pirates to panic instantly.

These grain carts are not loaded with grain at all, but kerosene, Thunderbolt, and some flammable things.

This was a conspiracy long ago. As soon as the troops transporting food came in, they secretly sprinkled fire oil.When they attacked, these troops immediately fled as if to flee.

They originally wanted to ambush others, but they were ambushed by others. What kind of news did Sifang Chamber of Commerce give? It's a scam!

Before Yu Shan Pirates could react, there were already many figures on both sides of the surrounding canyon, almost surrounding them.

As the biggest bandit in the Beishan area, the Yushan Bandit has two skills in being able to run around for so long.Several commanders looked at each other and understood each other's meaning.
