Chapter 140: Dispute
Xu Xian is going to send troops to attack Qingyang Village.
This is only six or seven days before and after his level of Heifeng Village, which is too hasty in the eyes of many people.
But after Xu Xian pacified Heifeng Village, the people under him were very confident in him, and the self-confidence of the soldiers in the army also reached its peak.
And this time, the news that Xu Xian was going to lead troops to attack Qingyang Village quickly spread to the ears of the major families in the city.
In the Zhu family, the patriarchs of the three major families, Zhu Xing, Bai Qiyuan and Li Wan, were all there.
In addition, there are many families in the city, these people are all hearing that Xu Xian is going to attack Qingyang Village, and they have come to inquire about the news, and the news of the three major families will always be more informed than others, because these three families have internal responses in the yamen.
“…… This surnamed Xu is really self-sufficient, let him run into a dead mouse by fate and level a black wind village, how capable he thinks he is, dare to take someone to Pingqingyang Village? Qingyang Village is one of the two largest cottages in our Yanshan County, if Qingyang Village is flat, then the road from the south of our Yanshan County to Fucheng, isn't even the biggest group of thieves flattened by him? ”
"It's absolutely impossible, he leveled Heifeng Village because the terrain of Heifeng Village is defective, and he attacked with smoke, and he also took advantage of the fact that the people in Heifeng Village were defenseless, but if Heifeng Village sent dozens of people to watch under the mountain, he didn't have a chance to set fire to it!"
"He's nonsense, we can't let him continue to be so arrogant, we have to kill his sharpness......"
As soon as the people from various families came, they quarreled first, and they seemed to have a lot of experience in how to suppress Xu Xian.
Zhu Xing, as the banner man of the various families in the city, did not speak, and let the people below discuss there.
After the people of the family quarreled for a long time, Bai Qiyuan came out first, he raised his arms, signaled the people present not to quarrel, he said: "You are just shouting happily, how can you kill the sharp qi surnamed Xu now?" You can tell me clearly! I don't want to think about how much prestige he has in the city right now...... It's better to let him go to Pingqingyang Village, nine times out of ten he will die outside Qingyang Village! What are we doing to stop him? Brother Zoomlion, what do you think? ”
Everyone present looked at Zhu Xing, hoping that Zhu Xing could give an answer.
Zhu Xing stood up, his face looked dark, and said: "I said before, let him retreat in the face of difficulties, let him go to Pingheifeng Village first, and after losing, he has no face to stay in Yanshan County, what is the result?" ”
There was silence, no one said anything, and everyone was a little ashamed on their faces.
"The final result is not that he leveled the Black Wind Village, and we scraped together 10,000 taels of silver for him?" Zhu Xingdao.
Bai Qiyuan said angrily: "That's his shit luck!" ”
"Even if it's shit luck, it's been bumped into by him!" Zhu Xing said coldly, "After that, we hope that by raising the price of food and necessities in the city, he will have nowhere to spend his silver, but what is the result?" The price of grain in the city is skyrocketing these days, but he doesn't buy a grain of grain...... Can't you see the purpose of his attack on Qingyang Village? ”
Bai Qiyuan thought for a while and said: "Qingyang Village is the richest one among so many cottages in Yanshan County...... Does he want to level Qingyang Village and solve the problem of food and materials? ”
"Smack!"
Zhu Xing slapped the table and said, "Is this an unclear matter?" If he flattened Qingyang Village, then he would not need to buy grain from the city at all, on the contrary, he might sell a large amount of grain to the city, and then the prices in the city would fall. ”
"Huh? How good is that? ”
The people present, including Bai Qiyuan and others, were nervous.
In the past, the reason why the families in Yanshan County did not pay so much attention to the bandits was because there were thieves outside the city, and the prices of goods in the city were determined by them.
They had money on hand and had connections with bandits outside the city, and through their relationship with the bandits, they gained the power to transport goods into the city, which enabled them to make a fortune.
Now that they heard that the food they had hoarded was likely to be put to use, everyone was a little unhappy.
Bai Qiyuan said: "What are you panicking about? I don't want to think about what time it is now, his surname Xu wants to level Qingyang Village, is it so easy? Heifeng Village may be too bluffing, but the number of people and horses in Qingyang Village is definitely more than 1,000 people, and in the first two years, Hejian Mansion has united with the people of the imperial court to clean it up, and sent thousands of people and horses at that time, but they have not succeeded, and his surname Xu is only a few people? ”
Zhu Xing shook his head and said: "I'm afraid that this county surnamed Xu is not simple, if he really has some way to level Qingyang Village......"
Speaking of this, Li Wan walked over and said: "Brother Zhonglian, you are a little worried, the master of Songzhai in Qingyang Village is scheming, he can be said to be the most intelligent one among so many cottage owners in Yanshan County...... Even the people of Hejian Mansion were on guard! What opportunities do you think the newcomers still have? ”
"Alas! That's what I said, but I'm still uneasy in my heart! Zhu Xing frowned.
Bai Qiyuan said with a smile: "Brother Zhonglian, you are old, and you are still a little timid in doing things, you don't believe others, don't you believe the master of Songzhai in Qingyang Village?" We don't deal with him once or twice, there are many people under the master of this Songzhai, and there are many elite soldiers, I heard that there are generals who fled from the imperial court to the north and also joined his camp, Qingyang Zhai soldiers are strong and strong, don't worry about the surname Xu! ”
"Then we can take it lightly?" Zhu Xing seemed to be very persistent, and said sharply.
Li Wan said: "Brother Zhonglian, what's wrong with you?" Are you scared of him? We only paid 10,000 taels of silver before, as long as he loses this battle, his silver still has to belong to us, and we are not afraid of what he will do, by the way, don't we still have someone in his team now, and we can know his situation at any time? ”
Zhu Xing sat down, looked very annoyed and said: "The old man doesn't know where you got your confidence, I used to say that the surname Xu didn't have a chance to level Heifeng Village, but he leveled Heifeng Village like chopping melons and vegetables, and now he wants to level Qingyang Village, you are this posture again, and you still say that the old man is old?" You don't look at what you really think! Can't even find out his background, and still say this? ”
"Who knows where this kid came from, this place is not connected to the outside world, he has only been here for a few days, there is always a chance to investigate him clearly!" Bai Qiyuan said.
