Chapter 31 The heavily guarded Zhou family manor
"Cen Yuying!"
This little cub is very clever, Yang Meng recently discovered that no matter where he is, as long as he shouts, Cen Yuying will immediately appear in front of him.
"Third Master!"
Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, this kid appeared.
"Just now I talked to Miss Tang about Zhou Shiqing in Yiliang, you can also tell me, who is Zhou Shiqing?"
After listening to Zhou Shiqing's story, Yang Meng was very angry, very angry, everyone is a person from the same country, why should they be so vicious and make money? You have ten thousand acres of fertile land, and all the opium is grown in the mountains and forests, and you don't have the money, do you? Playing with women? With this potential, there are not many women who can't play.
What Yang Meng doesn't understand the most is that with land and money, it's just a matter of not doing some good things, this week Shiqing has done bad things and evil things to the extreme, what good is this for him?
"Yiliang Zhou Shiqing! Villain! Villain! Damn it! β
For the first time, Cen Yuying showed his anger, in the past, this little cub was a tepid old man, what's wrong today?
"Yo! It's not a small temper, tell me how bad he is? How evil? How the hell is it? β
Look at this, Cen Yuying still has a personal grudge with this Zhou Shiqing?
"Covering an area of 10,000 hectares, it is bad to be rich and unkind! Torture and killing slaves and maids, and abducting and selling human beings are evil! Both cumulatively are for damning! β
When she said this, Cen Yuying's small waist was straight and straight, and there was really a sense of righteousness between her mouths.
"You have a personal vendetta against him?"
"Nope!"
"Then why do you hate this Yiliang gentleman?"
"Ethics!"
"If the third master slaughters the old boy, what do you think?"
"Eliminate harm for the people!"
"Kill Zhou Shiqing, how should Yiliang County explain it?"
ββ¦β¦β
After a dialogue, Cen Yuying had nothing to say after the most reluctance, killing Zhou Shiqing Yiliang there is bound to shake the whole county, and if you don't get it right, it will also alarm Yunnan Mansion and Yunnan and Guizhou Governor's Mansion.
A single sentence to eliminate harm for the people doesn't seem to be able to kill this Zhou Shiqing.
"Think about it, what is the way to kill Zhou Shiqing, and make the court have nothing to say."
Looking at Cen Yuying, who was speechless, Yang Meng said slowly, now is the time to see this kid's true ability.
"With human trafficking, as long as you get the evidence, you can put him to death!"
Cen Yuying searched for the Great Qing Law in her heart and finally came up with an idea.
"Yiliang, who is in the same group as Zhou Shiqing?
Yang Meng didn't comment on Cen Yuying's idea, but asked about something else.
"Yiliang Dianshi is the closest to Zhou Shiqing, and many scribes are also Zhou Shiqing's lackeys."
Cen Yuying is still very clear about Yiliang's situation, his place of study is in Yiliang, and the place of experience is also in Yiliang, if he hadn't met Yang Meng, he might have returned to Guangxi now and was ready to participate in the children's exam.
"What is the main thing about the history of Yiliangdian?"
"The responsibility of the prison is all in the canonical history."
"Then you have collected evidence, can you cross the history of Yiliang Dian?"
"Skipping the level and scolding, it doesn't matter if you sit on the rod for thirty, it's okay to cross Yiliang County."
It seems that this Cen Yuying is still very stupid and naΓ―ve at an age, and it may not be possible to sue this matter.
"Arrest Zhou Shiqing first, force him to make a contract, occupy his property, and then slaughter him, and then frame the traffickers, let them rebel, let the traffickers pull out Zhou Shiqing's crimes, and hand over the case to Yiliang County, they solve the case and get promoted, let's get rich on the ground, do you think of this?"
probed Cen Yuying's bottom, Yang Meng was not interested, so he told his plan.
After listening to Yang Meng's plan, the look on Cen Yuying's face was constantly changing, which was a bit beyond his cognition.
"Okay, give me a good word!"
"Feasible! Zhou Shiqing's property fell into the hands of the third master, which played a greater role than in his hands, at least the old man of the Yang family helped the hungry every year. β
"Then you will go to Zhou's house to reconnoiter the terrain."
"Scouting the terrain?"
"That's right! It is to reconnoiter the terrain, think of a way to visit Zhou Shiqing, and then write down the terrain of the Zhou family's manor and the number of Zhuang Ding in the courtyard one by one, so that we can make a move on the Zhou family, and do a good job of this third master will be rewarded! I can't say that I can let you kill a few scum! β
Yang Meng is dragging Cen Yuying into the water, this kid is good, but it is not easy to control, first cut off his way of being an official, and then slowly take care of him later.
"Good!"
This Cen Yuying is also young and vigorous, so he agreed directly, if he can come back alive from the Zhou family this time, he will be regarded as a talent.
"Go and prepare! If you need the silver, go to Uncle Ding and withdraw it. β
Waved Cen Yuying away, Yang Meng walked behind Tang Youwu, knelt in her ear, and said slowly:
"The third master's business is done, Mei Yi, what should you do?"
The chin on the shoulder, the manly smell, and the tingling and itching sensation in the ears made Tang Meiyi unable to sit still.
"Third Master...... Whatever the third master says, Mei Yi will do! β
In the end, Tang Meiyi still didn't resist, with a pretty face like a red cloth, she ran away with a twist and pinch, such a stunner, it is really harmful to run!
"The world is in my place!"
Smelling the smell of meat, Yang Meng remembered a joke and sighed in spring.
There was nothing to do all night, and early the next morning, Cen Yuying knocked on Yang Meng's courtyard door.
"Third master, the matter is done!"
Look at this black momentum Cen Yuying has not slept all night, this half afternoon plus one night will get things done, this little cub is good.
"Let's talk about it!"
In Yang Meng's opinion, this is a good thing, the more capable Cen Yuying is, the more useful he will be to himself, and when he wins the Zhou family manor, he has to let this little cub have a few lives on his hands, forcing him to be cornered, and there will be fewer choices.
Cen Yuying's things are extremely cool, the courtyards of the Zhou family's manor, the number of Zhuang Ding nursing homes, how to inspect, how to change the guard, he said in detail.
"How did you do that?"
This time Yang Meng was surprised, he had not received reconnaissance training, Cen Yuying could handle things so properly, he could be regarded as a reconnaissance genius.
Zhou Shiqing told me in person, and took me to see these places one by one. I spent a few dollars on Yingyang, and the scribe of Tuo Yiliang falsely passed the news, saying that Lord He, the governor of Yunnan, wanted to see the layout of the Zhou family's manor and go back to his hometown to build a house to spend his old age, and I was Lord He's servant. Zhou Shiqing didn't mention how polite he was, and gave me ten taels of silver before leaving, saying that he wanted me to say a few kind words in front of the governor. β
Without Yang Meng asking, Cen Yuying told the story, this time he also opened his eyes, the Zhou family manor is worthy of its name!
"Not bad! Later, I will go to Uncle Ding's place and withdraw a hundred eagles, and let you do a lot of things in the future in case you need it. Also, draw me the layout of the Zhou family's manor, and we have to train well. β
The security methods of the Zhou family manor are not simple, Zhou Shiqing is worthy of being an officer, and the defense of this house has almost no loopholes, which is a bit magical in Yang Meng's opinion, but now it is the Qing Dynasty! Is that the security measures so tight?
"The sketch Zhou Shiqing has already been drawn, and it is in my arms."
One hundred eagles and Yang Cen Yuying did not refuse, and after taking out the layout plan of the Zhou family manor from his arms, he stood by Yang Meng's side and kept explaining the structure of the Zhou family manor to Yang Meng.
This week, in order to appease the governor, Shiqing also took out the real thing, in addition to the black outline of the manor on the drawing paper, he also used various colors of paint on it to mark the location of the patrol of the courtyard and how to change the guard.
These things are noted one by one next to the drawings, although the words are written small, but Yang Meng also took a look, Yang Meng was literate, but many of the traditional characters in it, he was a little specious, and he didn't know it very well.
There are quite a few people in the Zhou family's nursing home, more than 100 people, which is a bit too much for a landlord's manor. Yangjia Wuzhuang, still holding the name of Kunming group training, only has seven or eight hundred people, of course, the knife hands who went out with the horse gang are not counted, and the knife hands who take care of the tea mountains in various places cannot be counted.
What worries Yang Meng the most is what Cen Yuying said about the bird gun, the gun and the tiger squat cannon, the bird gun is okay to say, this gun and the tiger squat cannon will be troublesome.
Zhou Shiqing told Cen Yuying in detail about these two weapons, Zhou Da Livestock is worthy of being from the military, and these two weapons are filled with small lead.
After Cen Yuying's explanation, Yang Meng was also startled, this gun and tiger squat cannon are scattered bullets! Looking at their positions again, they are all marked in the open position in the manor, if they don't know, they stupidly attack the Zhou family's manor, even if they can be defeated, the casualties will definitely not be small.
"Third master, there is another thing, the Zhuang Ding Nursing Home of the Zhou family was trained according to the method of the green camp, they are the same as the third master's subordinates, they continue to practice every day when they have free time, and they are definitely the best soldiers among the elite soldiers in the green camp, which is also what Zhou Shiqing said personally."
After Cen Yuying finished speaking, Yang Meng fell into silence, thinking that this Zhou Da Zuo was just a local tyrant, but he never thought that he was a tiger among the local tyrants, more than a hundred elite regular troops of the Qing Imperial Court, and his own swordsmen encountered, I am afraid that he will not be able to get any benefits, to tell the truth, if he really attacks the Zhou family manor, the probability of failure accounts for eighty or ninety.
Looking at the layout of the Zhou family's manor, Yang Meng fell into deep thought, and Cen Yuying was also very eye-catching, standing quietly to the side without making any sound.
The Zhou family manor is heavily defended at night, and the courtyard walls and gates of each courtyard are also the same as those of the Yang family martial arts, which have extremely high defensive power, and the night attack will only startle the grass and snakes, and will not play any role.
Attacking during the day, as soon as the Zhou family's guns rang out, it was even more troublesome, in case Yiliang County heard the news, even if he spent money and bribes, I am afraid he would not be able to cover such a big matter, and if the news was leaked, the Yang family would be roasted on the fire.
"Yuying, didn't Shiqing say anything about how to defend on a rainy day this week?"
Muskets and artillery may not be needed on rainy days! I have to find someone to verify this matter, and the heavy rain should be the weakness of the Zhou family's manor.
"I didn't say that."
"That's it! Go down! Don't tell anyone about this, you just stay in Wuzhuang these days, don't go out, so as not to run into the people of the Zhou family. β
With a general idea in his heart, Yang Meng wanted to go to Uncle Ding to ask if he knew the weaknesses of the musket and artillery.
found Ding Baojun and told him about it, Lao Ding also fell into deep thought, bird guns, muskets, can't be used in rainy days, but what the tiger squat cannon looks like, Ding Baojun doesn't know.
"The musket can't be used in the rain, and I don't know what to do with the tiger squat cannon, but our big iron cannon cannons can't be used in the rain."
With this, Yang Meng also has a rough idea in his heart, what is the tiger squat cannon, and how to use it, ask those showmen to see if they can find the answer.
When they found those Xiucai and asked, they really knew that the Daohu squat cannon, this cannon was invented by Qi Jiguang of the previous dynasty, the cannon body is short, light in weight, and mostly used small lead, with a range of fifty to eighty steps.
Next, what worries Yang Meng even more, after reading the drawings, these Xiucai pointed out that the Zhou family's tiger squat cannon is installed under the eaves or shed, and it will not be affected whether it rains or not.
Yang Meng asked Cen Yuying, sure enough! These tiger squat cannons are all covered by things, rushing into the Zhou family manor, the first thing to face is these large shotguns, fifty to eighty steps, that is, a range of more than 100 meters, all of them are in the range of the tiger squat cannon, as long as the timing is right, the lethality is absolutely terrifying.
