Chapter Two Hundred and Eight
"Enough!" Ye Beijia seemed to feel that his personality had been insulted, and pointed at Su Yi and scolded: "Not a son of man, not a son of man!" Do you have some secret here? ”
Su Yi was stunned and said, "Don't drive adults, what do you mean?" What secret can I have? ”
Ye Bei said angrily: "You don't have any ulterior secrets, why do you want to bribe the old man!" ”
Cheng Lin, who was following behind Su Yi, burst out laughing, Su Yi's face was full of embarrassment, and he said helplessly: "The villain has admired Mr. Ye's name for a long time, and it is a great honor to see him today, and he can't help but take out his private money......"
Ye Beijia didn't buy it at all and said: "Although the old man is engaged in other driving in Youzhou, he has never had a good reputation outside, how can you admire the old man's name for a long time?" ”
Su Yi looked at Ye Beijia with black lines on his face, resisted the urge to beat him, and said embarrassedly: "It's the kid Meng Lang, I still hope that Ye Beijia ......."
"Humph!" Ye Beijia was too lazy to listen to Su Yi's explanation, and as soon as he flicked the sleeves of his robe, he walked away, and he had no intention of guiding Su Yi.
Su Yi looked at Ye Beijia's back and said speechlessly: "What is this called!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the captain had already struggled to get up from the ground, covered his swollen face and stared at Su Yi and said, "You wait for me!" ”
Su Yi said with disdain: "What? Do you still want to take revenge on me? If you really had this ability, you wouldn't still be a city gatekeeper by now. Speaking of which, Su Yi was about to enter the city with Gao Heihu and the others.
When the captain heard Su Yi's words, his lungs almost exploded, and he roared angrily: "The reason why Lao Tzu is guarding the city here is to prevent the spies of red-clothed thieves from infiltrating the city!" What are the guards at the city gates, you yellow-mouthed boy...... Stop! ”
Su Yi glanced at the heavily guarded Dongyang County, and knew that it was not appropriate to break in at this moment, so he asked Gao Heihu to lead people to guard outside the city, while he himself walked into the city with two hundred sword and shield soldiers.
The captain also knew Su Yi's identity, and seeing that the other party had already made concessions, he didn't dare to continue to stop him, and selectively ignored the two hundred sword and shield soldiers that Su Yi brought in......
After entering the city. Su Yi directly took Cheng Lin and others to report to the Thorn History Mansion, but as he expected, they ate a closed door outside the Thorn History Mansion.
Although he couldn't meet Liu Yu, Su Yi didn't want to stay in Dongyang and do nothing. At present, the situation in the vertical and horizontal mountains is becoming more and more chaotic, and if you stay outside for one more day, there will be more unpredictable dangers in Taohuazhai.
Su Yi and Cheng Lin are not short of money, Chengjiazhuang is originally a local powerhouse in Youzhou and Liaodong, and the family business is all over the place. It can be described as a strong financial resource. And Su Yi is also not short of silver, Taohuazhai has been robbing a lot of gold and silver treasures, and Su Yi himself led his subordinates to commit crimes all the way, and the gold and silver treasures at hand are naturally indispensable.
Unable to see Liu Yu himself, Su Yi went to find Zhizhong, Don't Drive, Gongcao and others in Youzhou City, except for Ye Zong scolding Su Yi through the door, the other two received the gold handed over by Su Yi as soon as they met, and asked him to welcome him into the mansion with a smile.
Zhizhong and Gongcao are both important civil officials under Liu Yu, and they blow the wind for Su Yi in front of Liu Yu, and Su Yi can also see Liu Yu faster.
Both of them are prominent people in Dongyang City. But when they met for the first time, they were still shocked by Su Yi's amazing financial resources.
Especially Yu Gongcao, who was under Liu Yu, after receiving Su Yi's meeting gift, chatted with this military candidate whose status was much different from him. After some conversation, the relationship between the two became a lot closer, and soon, the two became brothers.
Cheng Lin sat on the side and pouted, which made Gong Cao take a fancy to Su Yi's strong financial resources, and deliberately ordered a few words, so that he could take more filial piety from Su Yi's hands and go back. As for Su Yi, he also urgently needs to find someone to ask about the current situation in Youzhou.
"That's right, Brother Yu." Su Yi saw that the time was ripe, so he asked, "When I first entered the city." I saw a middle-aged man in a gray robe, and listened to the captain guarding the city calling him Mr. Ye, I don't know what the identity of this person is? ”
"Mr. Ye?" When Yu Gongcao heard this, his brows began to wrinkle deeply, and he asked half-loudly, "Have you crossed paths with him?" ”
Su Yi nodded, and Yu Gong Cao showed a sudden expression of realization when he ascended.
"Haha! Brother Su made a generous move. Presumably to the old stubborn ......" Speaking of this, Yu Gongcao laughed very vaguely, his index finger and middle finger together, and kept rubbing his thumb.
"Yes, it's a pity ......" Su Yi glanced at Yu Gongcao helplessly.
Yu Gongcao laughed and said: "Little Brother Su, you are the wrong person, this Ye Zong used to be a private school teacher, the most old-fashioned, but he is more honest and selfless, and he is most annoyed by someone stuffing him with silver, you are a meat bun handed to the monk, and you are not happy." ”
Su Yi said thoughtfully: "I see, it's ......."
Then I listened to Yu Gongcao said: "This surnamed Ye is also a well-known talent, but he is low-key, and he paints a good Danqing, his paper and ink are priceless, no matter how many people can't buy it at a high price, if you send him money, he may not be able to see it." ”
"Alright." Yu Gongcao put down the teacup, and with the intention of sending off guests, he said lightly: "Junior Brother Su, go back and wait for the news first, I will say a few words for you, Lord Liu, but Junior Brother Su is so knowledgeable, then the elder brother wants to show you the way......"
"Oh?" Su Yi's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "I want to hear about it." ”
Yu Gongcao said: "Although you are a military candidate and do not lead many soldiers, according to the legal system of the imperial court, if you go to the local government to take office, you will have to allocate all the soldiers in this barracks." ”
Speaking of this, Yu Gongcao knocked on the table and said: "Among them, there are also some doorways, the current situation is turbulent, no more than in peacetime, the soldiers in this barracks are not as many as you want, he will allocate as much as you want, if you can't figure out the doorway, even if you are the identity of the military waiter, go to the barracks to transfer troops, they dare not give you a single soldier." ”
"The person in charge of this matter is Zhang Dujian of the Zhili Camp in the north of the city, you just need to tell him when you go, I asked you to go, and I don't need to say more about the rest of the matter, right?"
Su Yi was overjoyed and said, "Then thank you to Big Brother Yu." ”
Yu Gongcao picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, waved his free hand slightly, and ignored Su Yi anymore.
After leaving Yu Gongcao's mansion, Su Yi did not rush to find Zhang Dujian, but took Cheng Lin to find an inn in the city to stay.
At this time, those who are still staying in Dongyang County are generally foreign merchants, or people who fled to Dongyang County to escape the war, and the housing prices in Dongyang County are naturally rising, and the rent of the inn is doubling day by day.
Su Yi took two hundred people, and the ordinary inn was only afraid that it would not be able to live, and it would be inconvenient to live, and there were Gao Heihu and others waiting outside the city, thinking about it, Su Yi decided to go out of the city to rent a few courtyards.
There was chaos outside, and some of the wealthy people did not live in the courtyards outside the city, and these courtyards were either sold to others at a low price, or they were left idle, and some housekeepers and maids were allowed to clean up on weekdays.
Soon, Su Yi found the owners of these annexes, and after some conversation, he lived in two annexes with a large area at a cheap rent.
These two courtyards are definitely a good place for leisure and vacation in peacetime, with the mountain peaks in the back, the grass in front of the courtyard, and the small stream flowing. It's just that at this time, this place has become a favorite place for bandits and grass bandits.
The owners of the two annexes were eager to throw these two courtyards to Su Yi like throwing off a hot potato, and even offered to sell the two courtyards to Su Yi at a low price.
It's a pity that Su Yi doesn't plan to stay in Dongyang County for a long time, and judging from the current situation in Youzhou, this Dongyang County may not become the main battlefield that can't hold on to the red-clothed thieves in the future, and the courtyard outside the city not only has no investment value, but is likely to become a barracks for thieves stationed soldiers.
Wanyan rejected the suggestion of the owner of the courtyard, Su Yi took Gao Heihu and others to live in, and at the same time asked Gao Heihu to take some wrestlers to cut down some nearby trees and arrange some simple fortifications, and after the two courtyards were repaired, Su Yi took people to live and waited for Liu Yu's summons.
Su Yi is not afraid that Liu Yu will stumble on him, the only thing he is worried about is that Liu Yu uses the procrastination trick to drag him all the way to Dongyang County, so that Su Yi will not be able to take care of the affairs of Taohua Village, the most important point is that Tian Million has already put his hand into the Zongheng Mountain Range, Shangjun County and other places have broken off contact with Liu Yu, once it is eaten by the Wudou Mi Sect, then the bandits in the Zongheng Mountain Range are the next target for Tian Million and others.
Either co-opt or annex, in short, this group of red-clothed thieves will not let go of the bandit resources in this vertical and horizontal mountain range in vain, once these bandits can recruit their subordinates, the strength of Tian Million and others will undoubtedly rise several steps.
