040: Scourge of Blood
Jia Yin was surprised and delighted to see the master in this Tashan Town, and jumped over with a shout despite the fact that he was covered in blood, "Master, second master." ”
The lazy monk kicked out, pressed against his stomach, and said angrily: "Do you want to wash the clothes for the teacher, what kind of fame, this blood." ”
"Chen Tou said that if you just let go of the killing, you can't take care of this blood, and this battle is cool."
"What about you?"
"They're busy searching, good fellows, the salt bags are piled up over there in the carriage and stable."
"Breath, let's go, let's see Jiurou."
The three of them talked and laughed, and walked into the "Wuben Hall", Qin Yue was sitting high on the top, Xu Wudao was drinking tea on the side, the head of the Ye family stood in the center of the hall, and his two sons were paralyzed on the ground.
I saw Qin Yue Yaowu and said: "Selling more than 100 catties of illicit salt is a capital crime, just so many salt bags in your treasury are enough for you to die seventeen or eighteen times, so you can't live, don't think about living, there is no such possibility." ”
"Don't think about spending money to get away with it, and confiscate all your family assets."
Ye Changting trembled with anger, he didn't expect the person in front of him to be not very old, but his black heart was big, "You, you are a robber, I, I want to sue." ”
Qin Yue sneered and said, "Now that I think of using the royal law to protect myself, how can I not think of it when I sell illicit salt, and how can I not think of it when I forcibly seize their property." ”
Qin Yue grabbed an account book from the table and said with a smile: "I've seen stupid, I've never seen you so stupid, you have recorded every business clearly, it turned out to be convenient for the court to check the accounts." ”
Ye Changting looked at the account book, which was the secret book he hid under the Buddha seat, and knew that he was really finished, so he fell to his knees with a plop, "I beg Shangguan to spare my life." ”
"Impossible, this official needs your head sacrifice knife."
Xu Wudao coughed lightly and said, "Jiulang, you have to be forgiving and forgiving." ”
"Yes, yes, yes, ask for the grace of Shangguan."
Qin Yue thought for a while and said: "You can't live, but I can give your two sons a way to live, and even keep them safe, and help send them to Nantang to be incognito, so that you don't have to worry about the enemies of the rivers and lakes." ”
"But tell me everything you know, fifteen-ten, and if you have anything to hide, it will fall on your son."
Ye Changting was soft on the ground, looking at the two soft-footed shrimp-like sons, his face was sometimes hideous, sometimes sad, hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Shangguan has a question, and Xiaomin has everything to say." ”
This time he suddenly attacked the Ye family in Tashan Town, Qin Yue can be called thoughtful, there are many things that even Jia Yin, who is almost inseparable, does not know, only Chen Scar knows the beginning and the end.
The Ye family's huge scale of selling illicit salt was the inducement, but what really prompted him to decide to choose here for the first battle was because this land was clean.
It is so clean that only the Ye family has a word, except for almost all honest and docile tenant farmers, this Ye family understands the truth that rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest, and has long used small favors to cage the villagers, and other forces can't infiltrate this place at all. Therefore, as long as the Ye family is taken, Huya can quickly establish a real base camp here, and only then can he have the confidence to recruit soldiers and raise food.
But how to take it requires a little ability, otherwise you will either die under the knife of the swordsman in the courtyard, or die under the angry hoe of the villagers.
Fortunately, there is a teacher.
Xu Wudao and the lazy monk actually entered Meng County in the same footsteps as Qin Yue, but one was in the light and the other was in the dark.
Tashan Ye's family is the target of Xu Wudaochang, he let the lazy monk Tie Arhat inquire in the periphery, and he Shi Shiran entered the house, talking about feng shui, talking about Kanyu, coupled with his extraordinary appearance and free and easy demeanor, it didn't take two days for Ye Changyan to be confused, and he trusted him.
Xu Wudao was well-informed, and when he saw that a Buddhist hall was abruptly installed in the upper room of the north courtyard, he knew that there must be a famous hall, and he found the secret by carefully arranging the search at night. After a few masters and apprentices secretly met and studied in detail, this is the hard attack today.
The Ye family's swordsmen were almost killed and wounded, but the knives and guns were eye-catching, and none of Ye Changyan's wives and children were injured, but Ye Changting was not clear at this time, and was trying his best to deal with Qin Yue's questioning, in order to "make meritorious contributions" in order to save the lives of his two sons.
Qin Yue tirelessly took the trouble to record one or two things on the paper from time to time, such as Ye family affairs, Jianghu affairs, private salt affairs, grievances, open affairs, dark bottom affairs, everything was asked, everything was asked, and one or two were recorded on paper from time to time.
Asked until noon, Zhang Tong came in and presented a note, and glanced at Qin Yue, Qin Yue had a bottom in his heart, waved his hand to retreat, and saw Ye Changyan's father and son sitting numbly on the ground, thinking that they were almost tortured, so he said: "Ye Changting, I see that you have done a lot of illegal and criminal things, but you are also a single, and this official intends to let you live, but you are writing in black and white, and you can't find the reason." ”
Ye Changting regretted it, every time he made an unclean transaction, he made a note on the book, this is still the rule left by his father, saying that it is placed under the Buddha's throne, which can turn blood into misfortune. Unexpectedly, this time the blood doom came to his head.
"Ask Shangguan to help!"
"Ask Shangguan to help!"
Obedient and listening, it seems that the death penalty can be escaped, and the two young men who turned out to be wooden-like also woke up and pleaded.
Qin Yue seemed to be very embarrassed, and pointed to the words on the booklet and said, "Who handled this matter of luring Ye Changhai to gamble for money, gambling all his family property and then buying land at a flat price?" ”
"Butler Ye Ren." Ye Changting's shrewdness immediately came back and shouted: "It's all done by the housekeeper, and I don't know many things." ”
Tie Luohan couldn't stand it anymore on the side, got up with a cold face, and Jia Yin followed the two masters out of the door, and was suddenly illuminated by the strong sunlight, and his eyes were fascinated.
The lazy monk patted his head and sighed: "The master and apprentice are virtuous and despicable, you don't want to learn." ”
Jia Yin said: "Jiulang said, this is called strategy, strategy. ”
"Lao Tzu can't get used to it, go, look at it, how many gold, silver and jewelry have been found."
I don't know if I don't see it, I was shocked when I saw it, this time it can be described as a bumper harvest.
The grain in the treasury is enough for five hundred people to eat for half a year, and the silver ingots dragged out and placed in the yard are full of five large boxes, which is only on the surface, and there are twenty boxes in the secret room of the north room, two of which are still Huang Shanshan's gold.
In the main hall, Qin Yue's voice exploded in Ye Changting's heart like spring thunder: "Since you have found a scapegoat, then these cases will be handled, and this official can spare you from dying, but you must do things for this official, of course, if things are done well, this official will have his own reward." ”
"The two Linglang go to Nantang to study, the official has a few friends there, you can take care of them, the road is not safe, the Tie Luohan brothers send them there, it will be foolproof."
"As for your property, house, land, and shops, if you don't move, you will keep one-third of this grain, gold and silver, and the rest will be confiscated, do you have any opinion?"
If he heard these words in the morning, Ye Changting would definitely scoff at them, and he would blast people out with a wave of his hand. But now it sounds like a sound of heaven, not only can his life be saved, but he can also keep his family's capital, and even a third of his floating wealth can be left, and he can't help but be overjoyed and promise again and again.
After going out to the main hall, when he returned to the north room, he saw that although his wife and concubine were frightened, they were unharmed, and a big stone in his heart fell to the ground, and two words came out of his heart:
"Benevolence."
