As the saying goes, "being a thief has a weak heart", Wu Yizong, who originally did not rebel, is now afraid of death, and Xue Shao took advantage of the topic to play and sued him for rebellion. In order to save his life, he first gave up the dignity of a "man's husband" to wag his tail and beg for mercy to Xuan Yunzi, and then racked his brains to raise money everywhere, wanting to buy back the batch of grain and grass that he was forced to sell.

This made Xue Shao really see what it means to be a villain. If you want to find a model and footnote for this type of person, Wu Yizong can completely equate it with it.

A few days later, Li Duozuo, who was guarding Fengzhou, sent a letter to Xue Shao, saying that in recent times, a number of Turkic rangers had been found to be active in the area south of Yinshan, ranging in the hundreds or thousands. In order to prevent them from invading the border states and counties, Li Duozuo sent troops to engage in many skirmishes with them, but unfortunately they did not catch any useful live mouths. The other party's intention seems to be just to monitor the every move of the Shuo army, or to guard against the Shuo army's sudden attack on the Turkic hinterland across the Yin Mountain.

After Xue Shao left Fengzhou, there was no big war and no small war. Obviously, the Turks were very jealous of Xue Shao, who was good at "tricky warfare", so they adopted a tactic of attacking instead of defending and constantly harassing. They would rather have some sacrifices than allow the Shuofang army to stop for a moment or get out of their surveillance

Li Duozuo also said that now Fengzhou is facing three major difficulties, one is that the grain and grass are about to run out, the second is the shortage of medical supplies, and the third is that winter is approaching, and the winter clothes and bedding have not yet been settled.

In fact, Xue Shao was already active before receiving the letter, and he used a batch of looted money to send people to various states and counties to buy grain and grass, medicines and winter clothes. By the time he received Li Duozuo's letter, Xue Shao's subordinates had already raised a batch of supplies and were preparing to load them and transport them to Fengzhou to relieve their urgent needs.

Xue Shao felt that although Wu Yizong, the "logistics minister", had a good working attitude, he really didn't know which year of the monkey he would go to buy grain until he had raised the money. Therefore, the grain and grass of the Shuofang army cannot be counted on Wu Yizong.

Moreover, Xue Shao calculated an account, Wu Yizong forcibly apportioned it with shoddy goods, and sold most of the corn and military rations saved by Bai Tieyu to the sky-high price of white rice in Chang'an, and finally he looted a huge amount of money of about 500,000 yuan.

500,000 guan, what is this concept? ――Roughly converted, it is roughly equivalent to the purchasing power of one billion yuan!

Xue Shao felt that even if Wu Yizong sold the ancestral tomb, it would be difficult to make up the money for a while. Unless there is the huge greed of the "Holy Hand of Wealth" Wu Youning, plus the joint efforts of Wu Chengsi, Wu Sansi and Wu Yougui and others, there is still a little possibility.

Even if there is a "possibility", it will take at least a lot of time to turn around and run.

If the villain Wu Yizong is forced too quickly and ruthlessly, he will jump over the wall and break the net in a hurry, and Xue Shao himself will not get any benefits.

So while Xue Shao purchased grain to prepare for military supplies, he also planned to sell a special "favor" to Wu Yizong, so that he could tide over the current crisis as much as possible.

The reason why it is special is that it is full of human care and spring-like warmth, just like every arrears issued by the loan shark.

Wu Yizong once again came to the Xiazhou Governor's Mansion, full of apprehension and nervousness.

Xue Shao met him in the side hall like last time and invited him to tea.

"General Wu, don't come here to be harmed?" Xue Shao asked with a smile, "How did you investigate the case of the Great Golden Buddha?" ”

"Hmm...... A lot of progress, a lot of progress! Wu Yizong could only answer like this, but he scolded vigorously in his heart: You don't have to pretend here, it's not good to ask me to come!

"That's fine." Xue Shao nodded and said with a smile, "Actually, I invited you here today because I have an important clue to tell you." ”

"What clues?" Wu Yizong drooped his eyelids and asked casually.

"Not long ago, my people captured a group of Jiangyang thieves who tried to escape from the border at the border gate, and seized a large number of gold and silver thieves." Xue Shao said, "Although the Golden Buddha was not found, they confessed an important clue, saying that the Golden Buddha may have left the Suizhou territory and was transported to another place to hide. ”

"Oh?" Wu Yizong was stunned, what did he mean by this? …… Did you want to sue me that he had already transported the Golden Buddha away? Or has it already been handed over to the imperial court?!

- This is clearly threatening me and urging me to pay as much as I can!!

"So it seems that it is even more difficult for us to find the Golden Buddha. This is likely to become a brown unsolved case. Xue Shao shook his head and sighed, and said, "But the 500,000 stone grain and grass must be recovered." With such a huge amount of military funds, there is no reason to fly in Suizhou. General Wu, what do you say? ”

Wu Yizong hated it so much that he thought that he was really urging me to deliver the grain and grass, but he said: "Yes, the grain and grass must be recovered!" ”

"Actually, I'm also thinking about General Wu!" Xue Shao said, "The court ordered you to come and check the thieves left by Bai Tieyu, and now the Golden Buddha is gone, and the grain and grass are gone." How should General Wu reply when he returns to the imperial court? ”

"Ben will ...... I'm having a headache about it, too! Wu Yizong made a distressed look.

Xue Shao secretly laughed twice, and said in his heart that this fool is quite cooperative!

"It's better to do this, in the name of the Governor's Mansion, I will first temporarily lend a part of the seized thief to General Wu, which should be urgent. General Wu might as well take this money to think of a way to see if he can buy a batch of grain on his own first and pay it to the imperial court? Xue Shao said, "We can investigate the case of the remnants of the white bandits slowly, but on the side of the imperial court, General Wu has to give orders to the best of his ability!" ”

Wu Yizong was dumbfounded on the spot when he heard this, and at the same time scolded angrily in his heart-Good you Xue Shao, make a good trick of treachery! You "lend" me the money you stole from me and let me redeem the rations! This back and forth, the "stolen money" is no longer stolen, and it has become the arrears that my Wu Yizong borrowed from the Xiazhou Governor's Mansion!

- I was very busy before and after running, and in the end, I couldn't get a benefit and owed a lot of debt to the Xiazhou Governor's Mansion, but you Xue Shao was sitting back and enjoying his fame and fortune!

Thinking of this, Wu Yizong hated in his heart, and he wished he would fight with Xue Shao on the spot!

"If General Wu is unwilling, I will not force it." Xue Shao said with a smile, "Actually, I'm still a little worried about misappropriation of stolen goods." If the court is held accountable, I can't afford to be guilty! ”

Wu Yizong was so angry when he heard this that his neck was thickened, and he said in his heart Even if the imperial court investigates it, you Xue Shao was 'forced' to embezzle this thief in order to help me Wu Yizong. Once the imperial court wants to recover the stolen goods, it will have to be me, Wu Yizong, to fill the vacancy. If you really want to find out, you have my handle in your hand - you eat sin and fart!

"It seems that General Wu is completely sure that he will be able to recover the military rations smoothly?" Xue Shao smiled, "Then let's not say it!" ”

"No, no!" Wu Yizong was excited, and hurriedly said with a smile, "Xue Dudu's kindness, how can I live up to it?" To be honest, the court is really pressing, and I have a headache about how to deal with it. If Xue Dudu can make it convenient...... Ben general, thank you so much! ”

"Well said, well said!" Xue Shao said with a smile, "I just don't know, how much does General Wu need to be enough?" ”

Wu Yizong pondered for a moment, and cautiously stretched out a slap.

"Fifty thousand?" Xue Shao took a breath, "This is not a small amount!" ”

Wu Yizong wanted to hit his head to death on the spot, and lowered his head and scolded wildly in his heart - pretending! You go on! Not counting the big golden Buddha, the gold and silver treasures you stole from me are worth at least 800,000 yuan!!

"But now that the words have been spoken, I can't break my word and get fat!" Xue Shao slapped the table as if he had made up his mind, "I'll find a way to get you 50,000 yuan!" ”

"Xue Dudu...... Not fifty thousand! Wu Yizong said weakly, "It's five...... 500,000! ”

"What?"

"Five hundred thousand?!"

Xue Shao stood up suddenly, his eyes staring nervously, "I heard you right, 500,000 guan?!" ”

"No, you heard it right...... Wu Yizong could only swallow his anger.

Xue Shao swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said nervously: "General Wu, 500,000 guan, this is a huge amount of money that is rich and rivals!" ”

"Please also Xue Dudu, do your best to help! Wu Yizong, sooner or later, repay Xue Dudu's great kindness! Wu Yizong had no choice but to play this clumsy drama enough, and bowed to Xue Shao for a long time, making a bitter begging for each other.

Xue Shao was nervous for a long time, took a few breaths, and plucked up his courage to say: "100,000 yuan, I can only raise so much!" ”

Wu Yizong looked at Xue Shao in a daze, and wanted to crash to death on Xue Shao's body when he saw the situation, and muttered: "100,000 is too little, it's a drop in the bucket!" ”

"Two hundred thousand!" Xue Shao raised two fingers and said nervously, "Embezzling such a huge amount of money, I almost fought for my life." Couldn't have more! ”

Wu Yizong's heart was dripping blood, and he could only beg to the end when the matter had come to this point, and whispered: "Xue Dudu is a good person to send the Buddha to the west, and add a little more?" ”

"Two hundred and one thousand! …… Limit! ”

'When I'm called Hanako!' Wu Yizong really wanted to die headlong, and begged: "Xue Dudu, would you like to add a little more?" ”

"Two hundred and one thousand, really two hundred and ten thousand at most!" Xue Shao inhaled nervously, "If not, I have to ask General Wu to find another place!" ”

"Three hundred thousand, how?" Wu Yizong was also quite hard, and in the spirit of "seeking skin with the tiger", he was bold and raised three fingers.

Xue Shao's eyebrows were furrowed, and his expression was extremely grim, staring at Wu Yizong for a long time, and he punched hard, "For the sake of friends, I will stick a knife in both ribs!" -- I'll lend you 300,000! ”

"Thank you, Xue Dudu!" Wu Yizong bowed his hand and scolded wildly in his heart: What a two-ribbed knife! What a good knife!

"The term is two years, and the monthly interest is two cents!"

"Huh?!" Wu Yizong jumped up on the spot, you might as well grab it!

"General Wu had better not borrow it." Xue Shao patted his chest and said nervously, "Such a huge amount of public money was lent by me without authorization, and I didn't charge any interest, how can I explain it to my colleagues in the government?" My colleagues can't explain it, and if they poke things out, I, the governor, can be regarded as the first to do it! ”

"......" Wu Yizong's expression stiffened completely, and his whole body felt cold.

He thought to himself, "300,000 yuan per month and two cents", this interest alone is enough for me to be exploited by him to death! But if he doesn't borrow this money, he will talk about the Golden Buddha and the missing grain and grass and sue me for rebellion!

-- The money can be repaid slowly, and maybe there will be a chance to get the city back in the future. If your life is gone, there will be no chance to turn over!

"Okay, I'll borrow it!" Wu Yizong gritted his teeth and was ruthless, "Just 300,000, two cents per month!" ”

"Refreshing!" Xue Shao immediately took out a piece of paper from his arms, "General Wu, please see, is this IOU written correctly or not?" ”

Burst!

Wu Yizong almost spurted a mouthful of old blood all over the sky - bastard, even the IOU has been prepared for me!
