Chapter 133: The army of bandits presses the mirror
Hearing that the army of bandits in the imperial court had gone out of the city and came straight to Canghuang, Liu Chengfeng and the lord of Xiahou Village changed color together.
At this time, Ye Zheng's eyes narrowed into a slit, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he sneered softly: "Hmph, are you finally coming?"
Liu Chengfeng and the Xiahou village lord looked at his indifferent appearance, and couldn't help but secretly admire in their hearts, and said secretly: "The leader of our family is not ordinary, now that the army of bandits in the imperial court is about to press the mirror, he can still be as stable as Mount Tai, not moved at all, just this calmness, it is not something that these people like me can compare." ”
Ye Zheng picked up the teacup with a calm expression, took a sip of tea, and asked lightly: "Where is the bandit army in Linjiang City now? How many soldiers and horses are there in total? The general who led the army is Na Ge Ren Tu?"
When the leader of the mountain bandits who reported the news heard this, he hurriedly replied respectfully: "The lord of the alliance, the city lord of Linjiang City this time, has sent a total of 15,000 troops, including 5,000 regular troops in the state city, and 10,000 garrisons requisitioned from all over the country. ”
Hearing this, Ye Zheng raised his eyebrows and asked, "Didn't there be 10,000 regular troops in Linjiang City who returned to the city from Canghuang Pass ahead of schedule? Why did the government send 5,000 regular troops to suppress bandits this time? Where are the 5,000 regular troops?"
When Ye Zheng asked him this, the leader of the mountain bandits in charge of the letter was covered with sweat on his head, and he hesitated for a long time before he said, "This ...... This, the alliance leader, his subordinates have not received any news about this in the past few days, but ...... However, the subordinates heard that the regular army of the other 5,000 state cities seemed to be ...... It seems that he was transferred by the prince of Liangwang. ”
Hearing this, Ye Zheng's narrowed eyes suddenly opened, he looked at him sharply, and said in an aggravated tone: "What did you just say? It seems that I heard? I just want to know where the five thousand regular troops in Linjiang City have gone!"
After being drunk by Ye Zheng like this, the leader of the mountain bandits who was in charge of reporting the news shook his body, slowly lowered his head, and said: "The subordinates are not doing well, and they have not been able to find out this important news, and I ask the alliance leader to punish him!"
Ye Zheng stared at him and asked softly, "You are Ji Yuanjie who is in charge of intelligence?"
"The subordinate is none other than Ji Yuanjie, the hall master in charge of the Tanfeng Hall. The leader of the mountain bandits in charge of intelligence nodded hurriedly.
Ye Zheng looked at him with a gloomy face, and said: "Ji Yuanjie, do you know that you have hundreds of eyeliners and spies distributed outside Qunyingzhai in your hands, and the cottage spends thousands of taels of silver on you every month, in order to facilitate your actions, so that you can do your best to spy on some important and useful news, because the information you pass back is related to the life and death of our Qunyingzhai! However, now it seems that you have really done your best?"
When Ji Yuanjie heard this, he hurriedly lowered his head and said: "The subordinates are incompetent, and the subordinates will definitely live up to the high expectations of the alliance leader in the future, and they will ......."
"Alliance leader, do you still have me as the alliance leader in your eyes?"
Ye Zheng burst into a loud shout, interrupting his speech, and asked in a cold voice: "Ji Yuanjie, let me ask you, on the ninth day of this month, have the three thousand taels of silver you received from Chief Manager Chen be distributed to those ear and eye spies?"
Hearing this, Ji Yuanjie was shocked, and his voice couldn't help but tremble. "Alliance Master, what ...... The three thousand taels of silver have been divided among the subordinates according to their heads...... It's been distributed......"
Syllable!
Ye Zheng slammed his palm on the table, and suddenly, Liu Chengfeng and the others were taken aback, at this time, he forcibly suppressed his anger, and asked with a pale face: "Let me ask you again, have you really distributed all the three thousand taels of silver?"
Being questioned by him for a while, Ji Yuanjie secretly complained in his heart, thinking that his private embezzlement of the example silver would be known to the alliance leader, but how could he dare to admit it, and insisted on it at the moment: "Alliance...... The alliance leader Mingjian, the three thousand taels of silver, the subordinates really distributed it to the hundreds of ears, eyes and eyeliners according to the head, if you don't believe it, the signed letters are still in the hands of Mr. Chen, and the alliance leader will know it when he checks it. ”
Hearing this, Ye Zheng suddenly became angry, angrily slammed the teacup in his hand, and shouted angrily: "Ji Yuanjie!
Ye Zheng stood up from the chair with a flushed face, came to his side with a pale face, stretched out his hand and pointed to his forehead, and said angrily: "On the twelfth day of the first month of this month, you borrowed the excuse of issuing silver, went out of the mountain alone to Dahe County, and ransomed a top red girl in Jingchun Building with two thousand taels of silver, and the next day you used the remaining one thousand taels of silver to buy a courtyard house in Xiaowangzhuang, outside Dahe County, as a merchant outside the Guanwai, as well as a few maids and servants. I'm asking you now, is there such a thing?"
Ji Yuanjie never thought that none of the things he had done these days could be concealed from Ye Zheng, and suddenly, he only felt that his feet were weak, and he knelt down in front of Ye Zheng on the spot, and begged for mercy in a panic: "My subordinates were confused for a while, because they were obsessed with lust, and I hope that the leader of the alliance will spare his subordinates this experience because of the hard work of the past......"
"Humph!"
Ye Zheng flicked his sleeves suddenly, lowered his head and took a deep breath, and said sharply: "Ji Yuanjie, if you just go to raise a few women because you are lustful, I won't care about it at all, and I don't bother to care about it! However, do you know that because you embezzled these three thousand taels of silver, how many brothers were outside because they didn't have the money to dredge up, and they couldn't find out the vital news to return to the mountain, this time, the mistake you made is unforgivable!"
Speaking of this, Ye Zheng paused, turned his head and asked the owner of Xiahou Village: "Lord Xiahou Village, what Ji Yuanjie committed this time, if you talk about the mountain rules, how should you deal with it?"
The owner of Xiahou Village glanced at Ji Yuanjie in disgust, and said coldly: "If you have to cut off one hand, drive out the desolation!"
Hearing that he was going to be cut off with one hand and expelled from the cottage, all of a sudden, Ji Yuanjie collapsed to the ground in horror, and immediately he crawled to Ye Zheng's feet with a handful of snot and tears, and pleaded loudly: "The subordinates know their mistakes, their subordinates know their mistakes, and they don't dare to make it next time, and ask the alliance leader to spare his subordinates, don't chase your subordinates out of the mountain......"
Ye Zheng saw that his pleading was very miserable, and he couldn't help but feel a little compassion in his heart, and his anger slowly subsided a lot, at that moment he glanced at Ji Yuanjie coldly, and said coldly: "This time, I will spare you, if you commit it again next time, you will not be spared!
When Ji Yuanjie heard that it was a whipping sentence, he was immediately pleasantly surprised, and he fell at Ye Zheng's feet at the moment, and he was very grateful.
After several guards took Ji Yuanjie down, Liu Chengfeng and the owner of Xiahou Village shook their heads and frowned.
At this time, Liu Chengfeng looked at Ji Yuanjie who was taken down, shook his head and sighed: "Before, I only knew that he was a greedy and lustful guy, but I didn't expect him to be so greedy for life and afraid of death, hey...... It's really in vain that he has been the king of the mountain for so many years, what a shame for us!"
(Gaga, Ji Yuanjie, are you satisfied with the trick I arranged for you?)
