Chapter 689: Confrontation
Lan Ziyi stepped forward and grabbed Zhu Sixteen's hand with a smile and helped him up, Lan Ziyi said:
"Sixteenth brother, this is a collusion? Today, you are as consistent as you are, your actions are well-founded, and the group exercises of the Ji family are all pressed behind the wall by you, this method is really impressive to me, I can't reward you too late, why do you want to apologize to me? ”
Zhu Sixteen looked up at Lan Ziyi and said:
"Seeing that we can break through the wall of the Ji family, go in and have a good conversation with Master Ji Tanyun, but the Ji family actually lit a fire and released the cooked duck alive."
Lan Ziyi snorted and said:
"I'm just waiting to save Ji Tanyun from the people's usury, and I don't want to rob the Ji family, what are you doing rushing into people's homes? And where did the cooked duck come from? ”
Hearing this, Zhu Sixteen hurriedly nodded and responded:
"That's, that's."
Lan Ziyi saw Zhu Sixteen's slippery little eyes rolling in his sockets, and secretly sneered in his heart. Lan Ziyi said:
"Brother Sixteen, don't worry, you and your subordinates have been working for so long, I will not treat you badly, and after the Ji family is exempted from the usury of the people, and the villagers can live and work in peace and contentment, I will take the silver and reward you well."
When Zhu Sixteen heard Lan Ziyi's promise, he laughed a few times, and he said:
"Master Hou only asked us to put your heart at ease, but you didn't worry about us at all, which is not kind."
Lan Ziyi smiled:
"What do you say about Brother Sixteen? Where am I worried about you? ”
Zhu Sixteen Dao:
"If Master Hou is at ease with us, why do you send someone to keep an eye on me, not only staring at me, but also my guys staring at me like a thief. My friends and I rushed to kill for Hou Ye in front, but in exchange for Hou Ye's suspicion, how could the brothers stand it? ”
Lan Ziyi scolded in his heart, you Diao people have almost a chance to rebel, if you don't tighten the noose around your neck, maybe you will toss some kind of mess. But Lan Ziyi definitely couldn't talk like this, he smiled and patted Zhu Sixteen's arm and asked him to go back, Lan Ziyi said as he walked:
"Brother Sixteen, you have misunderstood. I have sent someone to give you a hand, and to take note of the merits so that you can be rewarded in the future. You see you've been scorched this time, and if I hadn't sent my men to pick it up, you don't know what would have happened. Don't think about it, I won't hurt you, let's go, did a good job today, I'll personally pick up the wind for you in the tent! ”
In the afternoon of the same day, Lan Ziyi accompanied Zhu Sixteen and Zhu Sixteen's henchmen selected by Tao Chalu to eat and drink together. When have these idlers enjoyed the wind and snow? When you see wine and meat, you will only stuff it into your mouth, and if you drink too much, you will talk nonsense and play drunk. However, Lan Ziyi didn't eat wine this time for elegance, and these idlers ate whatever they wanted.
It's just that although Zhu Sixteen and his subordinates ate Haisai, they were stunned for an afternoon and were not drunk, Lan Ziyi observed carefully and found that Zhu Sixteen and his people spilled more wine on the front when they drank, and there were not a few drops actually drunk. Yueshan naturally discovered this, and she found an opportunity to whisper in Lan Ziyi's ear:
Wei Hou set up a banquet to entertain him, but Zhu Sixteen didn't drink it, which shows that he suspected Wei Hou deeply, and there was no trace of suspicion in this. I advised Wei Hou to make a decision as soon as possible, and now that they are all here, I simply cut them off. “
Lan Ziyi had another drink with Zhu Sixteen, and then he whispered to Yueshanjian:
"Now is the time to use him, how can you kill him? Kill him, who will make noise in front of Ji's house tomorrow? Yue'er, if you endure it again, this Zhu Sixteen will definitely be at your disposal after the matter is over. “
Hearing this, Yueshan sighed:
"Wei Hou and the tiger seek skin but don't know it, what else can the slave and maid say? I just got the news that Qianhu has left and is expected to arrive in Yuhang tomorrow. “
Lan Ziyi was a little surprised when he heard this, and he said:
"Leave today and arrive tomorrow, how can it be so fast? He had thousands of men under him. “
After speaking, Lan Ziyi stared at the moon mountain and looked carefully, he said:
"Did you know the news that Qianhu was here, or did you send a letter to recruit him?"
Yueshan smiled and said softly:
"The only one who can have the ability to transfer people is his father and his old man, how can I transfer thousands of households if I have the ability? Wei Hou better not think cranky. “
At this time, Zhu Sixteen, who was on the side, saw Lan Ziyi whispering to Yueshan, pulled the stool and approached, Zhu Sixteen asked:
"Why did Master Hou talk so intimately with this little minister? Why don't you say it and let us hear it? “
Lan Ziyi picked up the wine jug and poured it for Zhu Sixteen, and said with a smile:
"Brother Sixteen, you're funny, what do I have to say about being a man and a father-in-law? Come on, come on, drink and drink. “
That day, Lan Ziyi drank with Zhu Sixteen for a while, and after the banquet, the people on both sides dispersed. Early the next morning, Zhu Sixteen led people to get up early. It's just that yesterday's retreat was fast, Zhu Sixteen and they were reckless, and they didn't stand on the opposite side of the front, and today last year, the Ji family has united many regiments to train and block the bridgehead along the river, and it is not easy for the people to cross the river again.
Lan Ziyi, who was in the rear formation, also got up early, he first looked at it from afar, and after observing it carefully, he said:
"It seems that there are a lot more people on the other side than there were yesterday?"
Tao Zhulu replied:
"Last night, the Ji family asked for help from the surroundings overnight, and the surrounding big families sent people to help with the fist, and even the group practitioners of Huiji and Gusu came over, so there were naturally more people."
Lan Ziyi sighed:
"Huiji? Gusu? I was able to get here overnight, which is faster than my northtown light ride. “
Peach Road:
"I was on the road before, and I was just in a hurry to come last night."
Lan Ziyi said:
"So there are quite a few more people on their way?"
Peach Road:
"Not a lot, it's a lot."
Lan Ziyi smacked his tongue and said:
"Then we have to hurry, if we can't force the Ji family to submit today, and wait for the thousands of households in the capital to come together with a few Ji family reinforcements in the afternoon, there will be nothing for us here."
While Lan Ziyi was speaking, the people also rushed to the river to confront the group drills guarding the Ji family across the river. While the people were thinking about how to cross the river, one person walked out of the heavily guarded regimental training barrier. The person who came came with a robe and scarf, looked like a scholar, and clearly recognized that person was the second housekeeper of the Ji family.
Since this person is an acquaintance recognized by the people, after he came, the people have restrained themselves a lot, and it is not as good as yesterday, and the man was able to go to the middle of the bridge to talk, and the scene was quite quiet.
The second steward opened his mouth and shouted to the people:
"Folks, you have been a farmer for generations, a good farmer, why are you suddenly tyrannical like this, and follow some bad people to do the things of the rogues."
Someone in the crowd immediately shouted:
"It's all forced by you big families! The people are not happy, and they come to your house to beg for food, how can they become rogues? “
After the man shouted, the people also whispered, and Lan Ziyi didn't need to look at it to know that this was Zhu Sixteen's person.
When the two masters heard this, they said:
"This year, when the weather is not good, the people have suffered disasters, and the people have suffered hardships, and my lord knows. If the lord is ruthless, how could he open a porridge factory to help everyone in previous years? Folks, you are all clear-eyed people, you have to see the good guys and the bad guys clearly, don't be deceived by those homeless people and the ruffians. “
