Chapter 618: Conspiracy in the Mountains (2)

Heavy wheezing sounded, and many people were dazzled by the silver, two million taels, just thinking about it was heartwarming.

Rao Qiangfeng's voice did not have the slightest excitement, and said dryly: "This matter alarmed the court, and the Son of Heaven ordered to send 10,000 officers and soldiers of the left and right leading guards in Beijing to come and clean it up. I didn't take these 10,000 people to heart at all, the officers and soldiers have cleared and suppressed many times, and nearly 20,000 troops in the three states were defeated by me last time. I ordered the checkpoint to be strictly guarded, and countless traps and pits were laid in the mountains, preparing to use the looted tax money to recruit troops and horses after defeating the officers and soldiers. Chen Xupeng, the general of the left leading guard who led the team, divided the officers and soldiers into ten teams, blocked the path in and out of the mountain, recruited the hunters in the mountains as guides, and pushed them into the mountain step by step. I wanted to attack with fire, but Chen Xupeng lit the fire first, and the fire burned for 12 days, but it hurt many of my brothers. I had no choice but to defend against the danger, but Chen Xupeng transferred a siege crossbow, and there was a burst of rapid shooting, and the checkpoint collapsed, and countless casualties were killed. ”

Rao Qiangfeng closed his eyes in pain, and his mind clearly recalled the situation when the barrier collapsed, and his brothers screamed and screamed in pain. After a long time, Rao Qiangfeng calmed down a little and said, "I can't do anything, I will open the silver vault in the village, dismiss the brothers on the mountain, and let them flee for their lives." Relying on the familiarity of the road, Rao took more than 20 brothers to kill the officers and soldiers who blocked the road, rushed out of the encirclement and fled south, and Meng Chang took him in before settling down in Zhongshanzhai. ”

Qi Zhitu cared about the silver, opened his small eyes and asked, "What about the two million taels of silver?" All astigmatism? ”

Rao Qiangfeng sneered and said: "Two million taels of silver can only be taken away by twenty or thirty thousand taels, and I have accumulated more than 200,000 taels in Yinling Mountain over the years, and all of them have been copied by the officers and soldiers, and I have lost my wife and broken my soldiers." Now that I think about it, as the master often said, wear as big a hat as you want, don't let the brim cover your eyes and kill yourself. ”

Rao Qiangfeng's words were like a scoop of cold water poured on his feverish head, and it was cold to his heart all of a sudden, and everyone looked at each other, originally some people were moved by Ye Yanguang's words, but they dispelled their thoughts at this moment.

Receiving Rao Qiangfeng's support made Chang Ruosong feel full of confidence, and said decisively: "The Tao is not the same, this trip to the Muddy Water Zhong Cottage will not go, Ye Yanguang is a scourge and cannot stay, I will send him down the mountain early tomorrow morning." ”

Everyone agreed, got up and left. Chang Ruosong said to Chang Qing: "You work hard again, go to a few counties in the north to see if there is any food, if it is more expensive, it will be more expensive, and it will be good if you can buy it." ”

Waiting for Chang Qing to agree to leave, Chang Ruosong said to Guo De again: "Military advisor, delay the recruitment of manpower in advance, and wait for the new grain to come out in June." I went to Kan'er Peak in the afternoon to try to get it out as soon as possible, and if I could catch up with the planting of late rice, I wouldn't have to worry about wintering this year. ”

Chang Ruosong left with people, and Guo De was the only one left in the empty righteous hall. Guo De's withered face was twisted and twitched, the fan bone of the folding fan in his hand was pinched, and the hatred and anger in his chest could be turned into a tangible one, and he couldn't wait to turn this world into a ghost domain.

"Ai Wei, Guo and you are incompatible." Guo De squeezed out a few sentences from between his teeth with bitter hatred, and the situation of the destruction of his family in the second year of Jianwu resurfaced in front of him.

Guo De is a native of Yining County, Duanzhou, 14 years old to get a middle school child, known as a prodigy in the countryside, the county order had personally toasted and encouraged him to make persistent efforts, and the success of the field was frequently reported. However, in the next 20 years, he participated in the Xiucai test six times and failed, the young prodigy became an old boy, and his family persuaded him to teach Mengtong in the countryside to subsidize the family, but Guo De thought that he was a good learner, and he did not win the middle school just because of bad luck, and he refused to waste time, blindly immersed himself in hard study, and his family situation deteriorated.

In the sixteenth year of Fengle, Guo De was ready to go to Huaixing Mansion again to take the exam, his home was already empty, and what he could sell had already been sold out, and he sold his wife and children to the rich families in the township as slaves, and Guo De took the four taels of silver in exchange. He calculated that if he got the middle talent, he could be exempted from military service and rent, and then someone would naturally send money to the field, and then he could redeem his wife and children.

On the day of the list, he saw the end of the list from the top of the list, and then saw the top of the list from the end of the list, and then read it five or six times, and finally confirmed that he had fallen off the list. The rest of the money was exchanged for wine, Guo De was so drunk that he couldn't wake up, and more than 20 years of hard work turned into running water, and after waking up from alcohol, he also woke up from the dream of the imperial examination.

It's just that there is no way back when he wakes up, Guo De is thinking about whether to hang himself or throw himself into the water, and there is a group of children who are participating in the exam in the lobby of the inn, and an angry roar comes into his ears, "Cheating in the government test, two hundred taels of silver to buy a showman", "The chief examiner accepts the benefits of the candidates, Sun Wangfu of Heyang County got drunk yesterday and told the people about spending money to buy fame", "Most of those who have families in the school are admitted, and it is unfair to take scholars"......

Guo De grabbed a life-saving straw, jumped out and shouted: "The government test is unfair, I will wait to go to the government office to beat the drum and voice the grievances, and ask Lord Assassin Shi to try again." ”

"Yes, go to the complaint", "Ask for a retest, severely punish the examiner", angry cries came one after another, and Guo De was surrounded by the crowd and went to the mansion. There were as many as 1,000 children who came to the test this time, and the number of selected students was only 80, and most of them fell into Sun Shan.

Hearing the news, the candidates gathered more and more, some people held the statue of the God of Wealth in front of the road, passing by the Tribute Academy, the candidates who were carried away by the anger rushed into the Tribute Courtyard with the statue of the God of Wealth, and almost set the Mingyuan Building on fire. Zhou Sima arrived with troops and arrested more than ten people in the palace hall, and Guo De unfortunately became one of them.

In the court, Shi Aiwei couldn't say that he first knocked down a board, and then dismissed Guo De and ten other children

made a name for himself and sent a servant to escort him back to his hometown. After returning home, Guo De, who was depressed, wrote a letter of resignation to his wife and plunged into the river himself.

Even if his life should not be extinguished, he was rescued by Chang Ruosong, who was passing by on errands, and after asking the reason, Chang Ruosong invited him into the mountain. Chang Ruosong meant to let him teach the children in the mountains to read and write, who knew that Guo De liked military books, often pointed out the layout in the mountains, and made suggestions from time to time, so Chang Ruosong appointed him as a military advisor.

Later, Guo De secretly sent someone home to investigate, his wife had remarried with her son, Guo De joined the gang with all his heart, and there was only one ulterior thought, and when Ai Wei Zhishi went home, he wanted to bring the heroes on the mountain to kill the Ai family up and down without leaving a chicken and dog.

Chang Qing brought the news that Ai Wei had come to Linhua County, and the bitterly suppressed hatred suddenly rose uncontrollably, and Guo De had only one thought, to kill this dog official. Ye Yanguang's instigation of the rebellion was clearly a meat bun and dog business, but Guo De didn't care, as long as he could kill Ai Wei, even if he was broken bones, he would not hesitate to coerce more than 100,000 people to accompany him to death, and he was not alone on the Huangquan Road.

Guo De laughed wildly, like the cry of a bird. Throwing away the deformed folding fan in his hand, Guo De walked out of the Juyi Hall and walked to the guest room where Ye Yanguang lived.

Half an hour later, Ye Yanguang followed Guo De out with a spring breeze on his face, and the two came to Qi Zhitu's residence halfway up the mountain, and the promise of 20,000 taels of silver made Qi Zhitu promise to help Ye Yanguang persuade Chang Ruosong to send troops down the mountain.

Out of Qi Zhitu's residence, Guo De said: "Qi Zhitu is of no great use, the key is still in Rao Qiangfeng, if this person is willing to help, great things can be done." ”

Ye Yanguang looked like he was wealthy, and said: "Guo Junshi, Ye is willing to give 50,000 taels of silver, which should be able to impress Rao's family." ”

Guo De sneered: "Qi Zhitu is just a thief on the rivers and lakes, and 20,000 taels of silver is enough to impress him." But the big thief who crisscrossed the three states back then robbed Fangzhou's tax silver, and your net worth may not have been put in the eyes of Rao Dangjia. ”

Ye Yanguang remembered the big case that shook the world back then, Fangzhou's tax silver was as much as two million taels, and his own more than 200,000 taels of property were really not enough.

"Guo Junshi, what do you say you should do? As long as Ye can take it out, just mention it. Ye Yanguang was full of sincerity.

Guo De glanced coldly at the warm-hearted Ye Yanguang, the dry bones in the heart mound actually wanted to dream of the emperor, he didn't know that death was coming, if he didn't want to borrow his knife to kill people, how could he conspire with such a fool.

"Ye Ye will go back and wait for the news first, and I will go to find out the tone of the Rao family, and I will tell you if there is news."

Rao Qiangfeng lived in a stone house on the mountainside with more than 20 of his subordinates who fled with him, and walked a distance of miles from Qi Zhitu's residence. Guo De didn't walk fast, and he was thinking about how to persuade Rao Qiangfeng as he walked.

The whole Zhong Cottage, Guo De only admires Rao Qiangfeng, this person has seen the world, and sees things more accurately than him, as the second master of the cottage, Rao Qiangfeng abides by his duties, speaks little, and rarely opposes Chang Ruosong, but whenever he speaks, he can always say it in one sentence, and point to the point.

Guo De often thinks that if Rao Qiangfeng is replaced to become a big boss, this Zhong cottage will be at least several times more prosperous than now, and it can be seen that Rao Qiangfeng is very grateful for Chang Ruosong's kindness, and his subordinates once had a conflict with the Chang family, Rao Qiangfeng personally whipped his subordinates forty lashes, or Chang Ruosong did not take the initiative to persuade him.

Stone house, stone courtyard, stone ground in the yard, Rao Qiangfeng is shirtless with an ax and chopping firewood. Guo De stood in front of the door and saw the muscles of Rao Qiangfeng's upper body rising, every swing was as smooth as flowing water, and the wooden blocks under the axe were divided into several pieces of neat size, and a sentence came out of Guo De's mind: Good! That's it!

Seeing Guo De, Rao Qiangfeng threw the axe, beckoned Guo De to go in and sit, and went to the waterfall next to the courtyard to wash his sweat, and drank a cup of tea, Rao Qiangfeng dressed neatly and sat on the main seat.

"What's the matter with Guo Junshi?" Rao Qiangfeng asked.

Guo De stroked his beard and said, "I just listened to Master Rao talk about the events of the year in the Juyi Hall, I don't know if the treasure knife is still good?" ”

Rao Qiangfeng's eyes sharpened, and he said in a deep voice: "Didn't Guo Junshi come to laugh at Rao?" ”

Guo De rubbed his chest with his hand, made a "dong dong" sound, and said astringently: "Guo is just a walking corpse, and his heart is already dead." I don't know if Rao Dangjia is also dead, and the hatred of Yinling Mountain has been put down. ”

Rao Qiangfeng stood up suddenly, forced his eyes at Guo Dedao, and said, "Isn't Guo Junshi trying to persuade me to go down the mountain to rebel and do the stupid thing of a moth to a fire?" ”

"How is the walking dead different from physical death? Anyway, if you want to die, it's better to gamble and turn him upside down. Guo De stared at Rao Qiangfeng's fierce eyes without showing weakness.

Rao Qiangfeng laughed out loud, and the laughter became louder and louder, alarming the subordinates outside the house, and they all entered the house to see what was going on.

The laughter was loud but not happy at all, Rao Qiangfeng slapped the table next to him heavily, the table was overwhelmed, making a sour cracking sound, and fell down with a "collapse", and the teapot and teacup on the table rolled to the ground. Rao Qiangfeng looked at the subordinates gathered around him, and said loudly: "Brothers, it's time to avenge the big revenge, don't let the brothers on the ground wait too long." ”

In the evening, Chang Ruosong returned to his residence, not knowing that the dark waves in Zhongshanzhai were turbulent, and a big change was just around the corner.

…………

(I accidentally pasted it repeatedly, and the number of words in the uploaded chapter should not be less than the one I just uploaded, so I had to continue writing.)

On the night Jiang Anyi left Linhua County, a small boat went down the north bank of the Yuanhua River and shot like an arrow to the south bank. Although the weather has cleared, the flood has dropped a lot, but the river is still turbulent, even in the daytime, the boatmen who have accumulated years do not dare to go down the river, it is the beginning of the morning, the moon in the sky is hazy, this time to go down the river, is tantamount to death.

The river breeze was cold, Yang Siqi's clothes were blown and fluttered violently, standing on the bow of the boat, the scenery on both sides of the strait was like a white horse passing through the gap, and Yang Siqi's chest was full of pride. The flooding of the Yuanhua River is unpredictable for the boatmen in the river, but for the people who live on the isolated island of the Yuantianjiang River, they are accustomed to seeing the strong winds and waves at sea, and this little water is as stable as their own bathtub.

It was Ren Qiang who rowed the boat, born on the island, Yang Siqi took him out of the island and found that he was doing things safely.

Yang Siqi did not leave after collapsing the embankment, but sneaked into the city to find out the news. Li Yubo's county government complained, and the history of Ai Thorn and the mud made Yang Siqi feel that there was an opportunity to take advantage of. Because of the discovery of Jiang Anyi, Yang Siqi knew that it would be difficult to attack Li Yubo, he wandered around the city, and inadvertently learned from a Xu official that the relief grain of the court had arrived in Tuncheng County, across the river.

The Yuanhua River burst its embankment, nearly 500,000 victims, in addition to the local government opened a warehouse to release grain, the most important granary of the court was in the barracks. Andong Protectorate was located in Weizhou, and the battalion had 120,000 horses, and 20,000 elite soldiers were recruited this time, and there were 100,000 people. The food of 100,000 people is not a minority, according to the regulations of the Dazheng army, the battalion stores grain for three months, and the grain storage of the Anxi Protectorate is not less than 200,000 stones, of course, the Son of Heaven will first call the military rations for emergency relief.

Zhu Jinfeng, the governor of Anxi, was summoned to the capital by the Son of Heaven and went to the camp in the north of the town, and the new governor Su Guangzu was still handed over in the capital, and the capital was temporarily handled by the deputy governor An Jie. After receiving the court's order, An Jie did not dare to slack off, and sent people to clean up the granary, keeping the next month's military ration and clearing out the stored grain of 120,000 stones. Disaster relief is like fighting fires, and 6,000 soldiers were dispatched to escort food to various disaster areas.

Weizhou was severely affected, the Andong Protectorate itself was in Weizhou disaster relief grain was delivered quickly, Renzhou and Weizhou are adjacent to each other, the same is in the south of the Yuanhua River, and the transportation is not a problem, but Fangzhou and Duanzhou want to cross the river, at this moment the Yuanhua River is a vast ocean, the flood is surging, and the boatmen who have accumulated years do not dare to release the boat easily, not to mention that they have to carry grain across the river, so the disaster relief grain is blocked by the flood, and it cannot be transported to the river for a while.

Across the river from Linhua County is Tuncheng County, which was very badly affected, Tuncheng County was flooded three feet, thousands of people outside the city drowned, and tens of thousands of people became victims. Tuncheng County is also an important transportation area, and the scale is not as large as that of Linhua County, but there are also 50,000 or 60,000 disaster victims gathered at the edge of the city to eat and drink, and the little grain in the granary was eaten up in five days.

Just when Tuncheng County made Wang Huanian's hair gray, the relief grain from the Anxi Protectorate arrived, and with the food, the originally turbulent situation quickly settled down.

The officers and soldiers of the Anxi Prefecture were also escorting 50,000 stone of relief grain to be transported to Duanzhou, and they could not cross the river and could only temporarily stay in the highlands north of Tuncheng County. 2,000 officers and soldiers surrounded 50,000 stone of grain in the center and set up camps, not daring to be careless.

Wang Xian Ling was grateful for the rescue of the officers and soldiers, mobilized the people to help dig a ditch and build a village, and finally placed 50,000 stone of grain, tired for two days, Wang County Ling and several generals who led the team were familiar with each other, as a landlord, Wang County Ling invited several generals to the city, for them to pick up the wind, to express gratitude.

Yang Siqi and Ren Qiang got off the boat on the south bank, hid the boat, and the two went to the county seat. The closed city gate couldn't stop them, so they found a dark place and the two entered the city and went directly to the county office. From the chatter of the officials on duty at the county office, I knew that the county commander was at the Xunfeng Building to invite the general who escorted the grain and grass, and it was really effortless.

Arrived at Xunfeng Tower, not long after the banquet ended, Wang County ordered to send a few generals out, it is said that the city gate will not be opened at night, but the special event is done, several generals can not spend the night outside, Wang County ordered to open the north gate to send them out of the city.

Yang Siqi and Ren Qiang quietly followed them to the camp, which was brightly lit and fierce, and the towering granary could be seen with the help of the firelight. After Yang Siqi discussed with Ren Qiang, he left Ren Qiang outside, and he sneaked into the village.

In addition to the sixteen guards in Beijing, the world's strong soldiers are the four major capital protection camps, the camp is neatly planned, the patrol is strict, Yang Siqi and other patrols walked by, came out of the dark and touched the mountain. The effort was not big, Yang Siqi came to the granary, opened the tent and filled it with grain bags, and carried the fire fold, but the weather was humid, and the effect of lighting the fire was not great. Yang Siqi quietly went out of the account to find the kitchen, there was oil in the kitchen, and it was poured on the grain to burn the 50,000 stone of grain, and it was impossible for the government to raise so much food in a short period of time, so those victims in Linhua County would take risks.

Carefully navigating through the tent, Yang Siqi was full of spiritual sense, spying on every move around him. There is a fire in the house, and it should be close to the water and away from the granary, and it took a little effort for Yang Siqi to find the house. It's so late that there are still people, and when I listen to it, they are complaining inside, "What kind of sobering soup do you want in the middle of the night, these officials and masters eat fragrant and drink spicy food, and we can't be at peace in the middle of the night." ”

Yang Siqi smiled secretly, it should be a few generals who returned to the camp just now, and they want to sober up the soup after drinking, okay, I'll go in first to find oil. To feed 2,000 people to eat and drink, there were also five or six tents in the room, and Yang Siqi used the dagger he carried with him to cut open a tent, which was pitch black inside, and a large bucket was placed in the corner. Dodge in and open the lid of the barrel, it is soybean oil.
