Chapter 42: Finding the Thief
Ye Xiaotian's expression was very sincere, more sincere than that of profiteers: "Brother Jing, you are a military general, and I am a civil official." When it comes to marching and fighting, fighting on the battlefield, you are doing it. But when it comes to scheming and officialdom tricks, I'm good at it, right? ”
Jing Qianhu nodded his head and said, "That's right!" ”
Ye Xiaotian said: "So, my brother gave you an analysis and analysis of this matter, you don't care about it." If you don't think what I'm saying makes sense, then when I fart, you just don't pay attention to it. ”
Jing Qianhu said: "It's serious, it's serious, you say, I'll listen." ”
Ye Xiaotian said: "Anything is nothing more than emotion and reason, even if it is the law, it must be in accordance with emotion and reason." In the case of the abduction, you have to say that the post road is bumpy, not easy to pass, and the grass on both sides is dense and deep, which is easy to hide, this is true! But who doesn't know that the roads in Guizhou are difficult? That's the famous 'no three sunny days, no three feet flat on the ground', otherwise there are two post roads in the south and one in the north?
Besides, the forest is deep and the grass is dense, this is a mountainous area, and there are mountains on both sides of the post road, can you cut down all the trees and burn all the weeds? I understand this truth, don't Huazhi County understand? If you really defend it, brother, you really can't take care of it. ”
Jing Qianhu scratched his head and didn't speak.
Ye Xiaotian said again: "Besides, the road protector has the responsibility of the road protector, and the person who guards the baggage also has the responsibility of the baggage protector, even if the county can't get rid of it, the main responsibility for the loss of the baggage can't be counted on the head of Huazhi County anyway, what does the army escorting the baggage do?" You are deadlifting on Huazhi County, this hundred boards, you have to suffer eighty alone, right? ”
Of course, Jing Qianhu understood that he also knew that it was difficult to regain the baggage from the thieves, so he wanted to climb Huazhi County, and when he heard Ye Xiaotian's analysis, the more he listened, the cooler his heart became. The main responsibility for this matter is really difficult to rely on the head of Huazhi County.
Ye Xiaotian said: "I see that there are five finger prints on Huazhixian's face, it's your hand, brother, right?" ”
Jing Qianhu glared at the strange eyes and said, "Ang! How? ”
Ye Xiaotian sighed and said: "No wonder Zhang Shangshu said that, brother, you are good at everything, it's just this temper, it's too irritable." Even if the main responsibility for this is not you, you should slap someone in the face? Now that this matter has not come out of Hu County, it is easy to say anything, if you really want to go to court, it will definitely go to the court. When the time comes, Hanachi County will sue you, who do you say those ministers in the DPRK and China will be directed to? Everyone is a civil official! Didn't you rise again at that time? ”
Jing Qianhu didn't stunned his head, and said unconvinced: "Then you say, what should I do?" ”
Ye Xiaotian said: "It's easy to do!" You have soldiers in your hands, and Huazhi County is a landlord with eyes and ears. Instead of arguing here, it is better to join hands and send someone from Huazhi County to find out the whereabouts of that gang of bandits. Once you find them, you will lead the troops to clear them. Even if we can't get the things back, as long as we kill a few heads of thieves, we can also give an explanation to the court.
If you can't find out the message all the time. It's not that you refuse to recover the military supplies, it's that the local government can't provide information about the bandits, and even if there is a punishment, you have an explanation. Again. You already have cooperation with Huazhi County, and it's not good for him to bring up the things that you slapped before, don't you say? ”
"Hmmm......"
Jing Qianhu groaned for a moment. glanced at Hua Qingfeng, Hua Qingfeng's black gauze hat was still crooked, he hadn't found it yet, as soon as he saw Jing Qianhu looking over, he immediately glared at him unconvinced, even the generals were afraid, how could it be done, he was a civil official, and he couldn't lose if he lost.
Jing Qianhu snorted and said to Ye Xiaotian: "I'm too lazy to talk to him." ”
This is agreed, Ye Xiaotian smiled and said, "Brother go and say!" ”
Ye Xiaotian rushed over and pulled Hua Qingfeng aside, and there was another whisper, Hua Qingfeng heard it and said hesitantly: "Is this possible?" It's a gang of bandits who are on the run, and we may not be able to find out their whereabouts. ”
Ye Xiaotian said: "Can't find it and don't check it, those are two different things." If this goes to the court, can't the princes of the court see that the two sides are shirking their responsibilities? Responsibility, we can't run away, but in any case, we won't bear the main responsibility, do you want to continue to entangle with this rude military leader? ”
Hua Qingfeng thought for a while, and reluctantly said: "Then let's do it, it's just to find out the whereabouts of the bandits......"
Ye Xiaotian said: "Naturally, the officials will do it." ”
Hua Qingfeng nodded, and suddenly said nervously: "Why did you rush over, how is the matter at the county school?" ”
Ye Xiaotian couldn't help but smile and said slowly: "The lower official hasn't had time to say that he knows with the adults, Xu Boyi...... has been taken down by Lord Qincha for the crime of bullying the king! ”
Hua Qingfeng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he breathed heavily: "Really? ”
Ye Xiaotian nodded, and a huge sense of happiness immediately enveloped Hua Qingfeng's whole body, did he fall? Has it finally fallen? A very threatening opponent, an opponent who is almost invincible with the emperor's decree......
Hua Qingfeng bowed his head and said: "Okay! Good! Good! ”
He said three good words in a row, and in a state of agitation, he couldn't say anything else.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
On the post road, Zhou Bantou gathered all the servants, and the servants held shovels and pickaxes, and looked at Ye Xiaotian who jumped on the boulder, I don't know what the government called them together for, will it be to send white flour buns to eat today?
Ye Xiaotian raised his voice and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, a batch of military supplies transported by the Guò Post Road recently was taken away by bandits. Now the army wants to suppress the bandits, and someone needs to find out the news of these bandits for them. Many of you are people from the nearby mountains, and you are familiar with the local situation, so now you are going to recruit spies from among you.
Whoever wants to serve the government will no longer have to serve in the conscription, and this time is still considered to be your conscription. In addition, a daily travel fee of 120 yuan was also issued, and if anyone could find out the accurate information of the bandits, a reward of ten taels of silver. Therefore, if the officers and soldiers can kill the bandits, they do not need to be completely annihilated, as long as they can harvest five heads, they will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver! Anyone willing, stand up now! ”
You don't have to turn your back to the loess on the post road, and you still have money to get every day, which is of course good. But is this money so easy to make? Although there will be brave men under the heavy reward, this is risking his life. The servants looked at each other, and many of them were mountain people, who climbed mountains and mountains on weekdays, or were hunters. Or as a woodcutter, not only agile, but also familiar with the situation of the nearby mountains, he wanted to take on this errand, but he was still a little hesitant.
Ye Xiaotian's gaze swept to Hua Yunfei, who had a bearded face, Hua Yunfei had previously pretended to be a fast catcher and cut off three heads, but at this moment, he had changed into a coarse cloth clothes and turned into a servant carrying a shovel. The servants on this post road are in charge of each section, and they often rotate, and no one around him knows him.
received Ye Xiaotian's signal. Hua Yunfei threw the shovel, walked out with his chest straight, and said loudly: "Xiaomin is willing to act as a spy for the government!" ”
Ye Xiaotian immediately said: "Okay! Count you in, who else? ”
Zhou Bantou immediately walked over, and there was a clanging sound, and one hundred and twenty shiny coins fell into Hua Yunfei's hands, and the servants who were already a little tempted immediately rushed to grab it when they saw this, and said one after another: "I am willing!" "I do!"
Ye Xiaotian smiled and wanted to investigate a group of bandits who were running around to commit crimes. There is really no one more suitable than these local mountain people, once they participate, their relatives, friends, and fellow villagers will be driven, flying in the sky and running on the ground. If you can hide even their eyes, then no one else can think about it.
When Ye Xiaotian selected a spy and was about to let the bandits fall into the vast sea of the people, there were several sturdy figures flashing in the deep mountains and old forests like deer. A protruding rock. Several people stopped, two of them stepped on the rock, and several others immediately scattered in all directions. Naturally, the trend of arching and defending was formed.
The two people standing on the rock were slightly sweating on their foreheads, facing the mountain wind, and they felt refreshed when they boarded. One of them is Hong Baichuan, and the other is not much younger than him, but he is more than a head taller than him, looking at the position of the two, that person is always faintly half a step behind Hong Baichuan, obviously this group of people is dominated by Hong Baichuan.
The tall old man said: "Big brother, this gang of thieves is wandering around, different from the group of dragons, it is really not easy to find." ”
Hong Baichuan said: "I know, I have found three places, but unfortunately they are all where they used to be, and it is indeed not easy to search where they are now." However, do your best and let them go, if you let them go and let them sit big, it will inevitably affect the situation in Yunnan. ”
The tall old man crossed his hands on his hips, looked around, and complained, "Can't Weili send someone else?" We have a different mission and should not be involved in this. ”
Hong Baichuan smiled slightly and said: "The geography of this place is special, if you send some people who are not familiar with the situation here, you can't find the bandits, but I'm afraid that they will be trapped in this deep mountain jungle and can't get out." It's all the robe brothers, and we have nothing to do now, so let's share it for them. ”
The tall old man said "um", turned his head and asked, "Big brother, what's wrong with you and the tycoon, I heard Lao Ding say that he ran away from home?" Two fathers and sons, don't be so stiff. ”
Hong Baichuan smiled and said, "This old man is really talkative." It's nothing, this kid likes a woman, I don't agree to let the woman pass through the door, this kid, so he left angrily. ”
Hong Baichuan smiled, not worried about the current situation of the father and son: "Originally, I really didn't agree, but then I sent someone to check, this girl is really good, although she is from a small family, she has a good character, she is handsome, and the tycoon likes it, so let them go." ”
The tall old man said, "Since the eldest brother also agreed, why don't you take them back?" ”
Hong Baichuan said: "After this kid went out, I saw that he was much more sensible, and he was not as out of tune as before." Wouldn't that be nice, let him learn to be self-reliant. Dad is a street, and Mom is a wall. My street is to let him go out and walk out of his own broad road! ”
The tall old man shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Pity the hearts of parents in the world! Fortunately, I don't have a son, just two daughters, as long as they can marry well, I don't have to worry about it. ”
Hong Baichuan glanced at him and said, "How did I hear that you just took in another concubine last month, the reason is to pass on the ancestry?" ”
The tall old man said solemnly: "Excuse! It's just an excuse, otherwise wouldn't my jealous mother-in-law give up? ”
The two of them burst out laughing.
: The new year is here, I wish you all a happy new year and all the best! Sincerely ask for red envelopes, get the monthly pass! ^_^.
