Chapter 180: The Capture of the City 2
Since the assassination of the soldiers, the number of guards and patrols in Le'an County has doubled. However, Lei Du and Batu lost their traces respectively, and one was transferred to Majiazhuang to garrison. This made the Le'an County guards, who were already just the right number, suddenly overstretched, and even the servant army also participated in the guard work in some non-key places.
But the servant army is the servant army, and the amount of tasks is several times heavier than that of the Yan army, which makes everyone underrest and complain. They all scolded in secret, but they didn't dare to say anything.
"Hey, did you hear that? Last night, more than a dozen of the soldiers were assassinated? A servant sergeant whispered to the robe beside him.
"I already knew, didn't the Evil Army patrol inside and out before?" A group of soldiers next to him were silent, without any energy, and one of them said lightly.
"Who did it, it's so powerful, in the past three days, I've killed a lot of the Evil Army, and some of them are officers."
"Alas...... It has nothing to do with us! Servant Army...... Servant Army...... Shame on you! A team sighed listlessly.
The faces of several people around him darkened, and no one answered. The servant army, formerly known as the government army, has now become the minions of the Yan army. Which of these soldiers did not receive the eyes of others? has been scolded as a traitor, who is comfortable with this kind of feeling? Although they just do what they are told, and they all have their own difficulties, but who can understand?
"I heard that there was no news of the thousands of troops in Le'an County after they left the city, and it is said that they were killed by our army. You say, 'Can our army fight back?' A young soldier suddenly asked.
A veteran sneered: "I said little brother, have you forgotten our identity?" We are also targeted now, if our army is killed, will we have a good end? ”
Everyone was dumbfounded, and the court would not forgive those who defected to the enemy.
More than a dozen people were assassinated, and there was a period of tension in the Yan army, followed by a rigorous quick investigation, and the results naturally went without saying, and some scapegoats were found. In the past few days, the situation in Le'an County has also fallen into the eyes of some people, who are secretly estimating the situation in front of them.
The Li family in the west of the city, a large family in Le'an County, operates several restaurants and timber businesses, and is very popular. After the Yan Ya army entered Le'an County and occupied Le'an County, Li Yuanhai was much more low-key, and he was not in a hurry to show favor to the Yan Yan army like other big households. Because of this, his shops and business were suppressed by others, and even some shops were closed and then sold to others. For this reason, Li Yuanhai was ridiculed by others, but Li Yuanhai didn't care at all, and stayed in the house honestly all day long, entertaining himself.
As usual, after getting up early in the morning, after some activities, he walked into the study, due to the loneliness of business, Li Yuanhai, who has nothing to do now, is used to reading. In Li Yuanhai's words of comforting his family, reading more can cultivate the spirit of a saint, remove the smell of copper, and read more to gain insight and expand his horizons.
"Who are you? Why is it in my study? ”
Li Yuanhai was now shocked and angry, these four people quietly appeared in his study in the early morning, and none of the subordinates and family members in the house found it.
Fortunately, he is not an assassin, otherwise, I am afraid that he has gone to the underworld to report now, who are these people.
The first person, about twenty-five or sixteen years old, faces the ordinary, and when he gets into the street, he will definitely be oblivious to everyone and will never be found again. The young man smiled: "Boss Li, don't worry, we are not bad people, otherwise we wouldn't be talking to you face to face." ”
Li Yuanhai naturally understood this, but the other party quietly sneaked into his home and appeared in front of him, how could he have a good face, if it wasn't for his weakness, I am afraid that he would have already called someone.
Li Yuanhai calmed down, sat down, gestured to the four of them with a cold face, and said, "Please sit down, who are you?" Uninvited, what's the purpose? ”
After the four of them sat down casually, the young man in charge smiled and said, "I, I don't have a name, you can call me a knife." Presumably Boss Li has also heard about the assassination of the sergeant in the last few days......"
"Whoa......" Li Yuanhai was suddenly startled, stood up suddenly, his face was extremely gloomy, and he lost his voice: "You guys...... You are ...... Those assassins? ”
That's right, only these assassins can quietly appear in their own study. What are they doing here? Is it a refuge? No, if I am caught by the Yan Army, my Li family will be finished. I finally used my shop to get rid of the prosecution of the Yan Army, and I didn't have any contact with the Yan people, and I am still waiting for the future after the Yingzhou Mansion is annexed to develop again, and I must not destroy my Li family because of these assassins.
When Li Yuanhai entered Le'an County, he made up his mind that he could not have anything to do with the Yan Army. In case the Yingzhou Mansion is taken by the Yan army one day later, those who are in contact with the Yan army will definitely be the target of the Yan army's robbery. Even if he can't recover it, after he goes south, he can make a comeback with his own ability. This is better than carrying infamy, which is also the reason why Li Yuanhai died down and stayed at home honestly.
Thoughts flashed instantly, Li Yuanhai sat down slowly on the desk, thought for a while, and after a while, said in a cold voice: "A few assassins and soldiers of the Yan Ya, Li has great respect in his heart. As for a few people who came here, I didn't see it. If a few people lack the money they need to move, there is also some money behind the bookshelf on the left side of Li, and the right to have encountered a thief in my family. But my Li family is just an ordinary businessman's family, with a large family of old and young, I am afraid that I can't do things that worry the upper and lower levels, I hope a few heroes will forgive me. As he spoke, he closed his eyes and recuperated and wandered out of the world.
In fact, Li Yuanhai's words are very clear, you are assassins, I admire you for assassinating the soldiers of the Yan Dynasty. I didn't see you here, and I didn't know about it. If you need money, you can get it yourself, but I think my house has been burglarized and stolen. However, I don't want to have anything to do with you, and I don't want to ruin my family because of you. In other words, take what you want, and leave quickly, none of us have seen anyone.
One of the four sneered: "I thought that Boss Li was a loyal and patriotic man who had a heart for the imperial court, but I didn't expect it to be like this." Only care about yourself, greedy for life and afraid of death! ”
Li Yuanhai's face turned red, but he was still silent, closing his eyes and resting.
Xiaodao smiled: "How can you say that, compared to other businessmen, Boss Li is already very good, at least he didn't bother with the heels of the Tatar people." ”
"Boss Li, we don't come for money, and we don't want to harm you. Just hope you can do one thing for us. I know that Boss Li, you used to be a man of the year in Le'an County, and you have a good relationship with many people. What do you think? Willing or not? ”
After a while, Li Yuanhai said in a deep voice: "Why did you find me? I'm just an ordinary businessman. Besides, now I or the Li family is no longer the style of the big family in the past, and the impact on Le'an County is really limited, Li really doesn't know, what can I do for you? ”
Xiaodao looked at Li Yuanhai and said, "I know that Boss Li and General Huo are old acquaintances, and I hope you can invite him to come here." ”
Li Yuanhai's eyes widened, and he said coldly: "What to do?" You want to kill him? ”
General Huo, the general of the servant army of the Yan Army, Huo Shan, was originally the captain of Le'an County, and he was not bad in the local area, but he was later named the general of the servant army by the Yan army, and was in charge of all the servant army. Li Yuanhai and Huo Shan are friends, and when they have nothing to do on weekdays, they drink together and talk for a long time. He knew that when Huo Shan defected to the Yan Army, he was just trying to save the lives of these two thousand servants, and he was definitely not really treason against the enemy.
Xiaodao hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no!" No, we have something to discuss with us, but General Huo's mansion is heavily guarded, and the surveillance of the Yan army is even closer, so we asked Boss Li to invite. ”
"Just inviting him to come and have something to discuss?" Li Yuanhai asked with some disbelieving.
Xiaodao Zhengse said: "There is absolutely no other meaning, then again, if it is to assassinate General Huo, we don't need to do this, with our means, as long as he leaves the mansion, there will definitely be death or life." It's just that there are some things that need to be interviewed with him, so I asked you to come forward. ”
After a pause, Li Yuanhai asked again: "Then can I know why I was chosen?" I am not the only one who has a relationship with General Huo, and there is more than one person who has a better relationship with General Huo than me. ”
Xiaodao glanced at Li Yuanhai and said, "Because you have nothing to do with the Yan Army." Trust me, this matter is only good for you, no harm. ”
"Okay, I agreed, and I will invite him to my house for a banquet tonight." Li Yuanhai's heart moved, and he said in a deep voice.
"Okay, come to your house again tonight, thank you, you don't need others to know about this." Knife got up to take his leave, then flashed out of the study and disappeared into the corner.
