Chapter 41: Effortlessly
"The emperor said it himself!" Yunxi nodded.
Zhong Ling hooked her lips, she was still the same, she only knew that she was scared of the queen, was she really scared?
Well, she is really afraid of the Queen Mother, stinky boy, you won!
"What if I don't go back?" Zhong Ling looked at Yun Xi in front of him with his hand.
The people she has always brought with her, she doesn't believe that she can do it with her for the sake of Aman's words!
But Yunxi silently clenched his fists in the next second, the general met that Shen Yichi, it was like falling into an evil spirit, who was her general?
There are no faults! It was his honor to fall in love with him, but he was good, and he ruined the general's sincerity in vain! Even he felt unworthy for the general.
No matter what, he must bring the general back today.
"The general must go back with me today!" Yun Xi raised his head, his face determined.
Zhong Ling couldn't help but hold his forehead, he really deserved to be the person she brought out, look at this stubborn temper, it is just like her.
But counting the days, she has been in Xia Lingguo long enough, and that kid can endure it for so long before sending someone here, which can be regarded as giving her enough face!
"Let's go!" Zhong Ling let go of his hand and turned to pack his luggage.
Leaving Yun Xi stunned in place, his hands still clenched, the general agreed to go back with him so easily?
It's just a little less challenging.
Three days later, Shen Yichi's people arrived at Yanlu.
Around the salt road are fishermen who make some extra money by selling salt, and as long as they have silver, it is not difficult to hide here.
"Let's just wait here, Yang Qin wants to deliver salt, so he can only take this way!" Shen Yichi looked at a village not far away and commanded.
When Shen Di heard this, he took a small team of people and went to do it first.
As soon as I entered the village, I noticed that something was wrong, the doors of every house were closed, and the streets were empty, even if it was daytime, it seemed a little weird.
Shen Dian turned over and got off the horse, walked to the door of a house, knocked on the door, and after a long time, someone opened the door, but it was only a small crack.
"Who?" The tone of the people in the room was a little impatient.
"The passing dart game, I want to stay here for a while!" Shen opened his mouth darkly, lowered his head and took out a gold ingot from his purse, and before he could stuff it into the man.
The door in front of him slammed shut.
"Let's go, there's no place here!"
"There are so many people in the village, and every family has no place?" Shen Dian couldn't help frowning.
In a large village, it is impossible to have no empty houses.
But the people in the house stopped talking, Shen Di was stunned, and turned to leave, but his eyes were attracted by what was under his feet, a dilapidated wooden bowl, horizontal by the side of the road, which seemed a little abrupt.
After pondering for a moment, he lowered his head and picked up the bowl, turned and walked back.
Shen Yichi still led the army to stay where he was, and when he saw Shen Dian and the others turn back the same way, he turned over and dismounted.
"Your Highness! The subordinates went to ask, and the people in the village only said
There is no place left! ”
"No place?"
There are quirks!
Shen Dian presented the bowl in his hand: "This is what his subordinates picked up in the village, Your Highness take a look!" ”
Shen Yichi stretched out his hand and took it, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook, wooden bowls are used in coastal areas.
Since Yang Qin intervened in the salt road, he deducted money and increased the tax burden, which caused the people who sold salt for a living to be overwhelmed and fled to the imperial city.
It's a pity that it was hijacked by Yang Qin's people in the middle of the road, and now this bowl appears here, which is too coincidental.
Shen Yichi looked at Shen Dian and asked, "What do you think about this matter?" ”
"This village is weird!"
"If there's something weird, let's take a look!" Shen Yichi threw the wooden bowl, his expression was dark.
The sky was dark, and the lights in the village were lit up one after another, and a sparse figure came out, looking around from time to time, lest others see it.
A strong man walked to the pond at the head of the village, put down the bucket in his hand, and before the bucket was full, he was pressed to the ground, and the man cried out in horror, and the rest of the village saw this, and pushed the door open with hoes.
However, before he could run to the head of the village, he was held down by Shen Yichi's men.
Shen Dian held a bonfire and walked out of the darkness with Shen Yichi.
"Who are you, who are in charge?" Shen Yichi said lightly.
An old man in the crowd stood up tremblingly: "I am the village chief, I don't know why the strong man came here late at night?" ”
The old man only glanced at Shen Yichi, and then quickly lowered his head.
"There's something I want to ask you!" Shen Yichi's eyelids drooped slightly, as if he was a little careless.
The old man lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking, and did not say a word for a long time.
Suddenly, a voice came from behind him, and immediately after, a group of officers and soldiers in armor rushed out of the shadows, holding large knives in their hands, and pounced viciously at them.
"Your Highness, be careful!" Shen Dian protected Shen Yichi behind him and raised his sword to meet him.
This group of people fought fiercely, they didn't defend at all, they just blindly attacked, although the speed of the attack was fast, but the speed of the fall was faster.
After a while, there were only about a few dozen people left to resist stubbornly, Shen Yichi saw that the time was ripe, raised his hand, made a gesture, rushed out of the forest and attacked from behind, and in a short time, he killed this group of people.
The village returned to calm, Shen Yichi shook his head lightly, and Yang Qin inevitably underestimated him too much.
The villagers behind him were all frightened when they saw this, screaming and fleeing in all directions, Shen Dark's eyes were quick, and he grabbed the village chief.
"Our master still has something to ask the village chief for advice, what is the village chief running?"
With a strong hand, he pushed the village chief in front of Shen Yichi, and the village chief was pushed to a stumbling ground and lying on the ground.
A small soldier moved a chair, and Shen Yichi sat down, looked at the trembling village chief condescendingly, and narrowed his eyes.
"Have you had a group of refugees in your village lately?"
"I didn't ...... There is no ......" The village chief remembered the gang of fierce officers and soldiers who came a few days ago, and subconsciously shook his head.
Shen Yichi smiled when he heard this: "The village chief can think about Qin Chu and then say, these brothers under my command have been running around for many days, and now they are a little upset and irritable, just those people just now, I'm afraid that they won't be able to relieve their anger!" ”
His tone was soft, but it made people shudder, and the village chief collapsed on the ground, his face pale.
I knew that he shouldn't have coveted the tattoo silver given by that person, and promised to do things for them, but now who is he messing with?
"Don't worry, village chief, as long as you tell the truth, we will naturally not kill innocents indiscriminately!"
The village chief opened his mouth, but for a long time he could not utter a complete sentence.
Someone in the crowd knelt down with a puff and cried, "I'...... I know ......"
Shen Dian stepped forward and carried the person out.
"Now that you know, then tell me!" Shen Yichi turned his gaze to the man.
The man gritted his teeth: "Village chief, don't blame me, I still have a wife and children at home, and I don't want to let my family die for that bit of silver!" ”
The crowd was silent, and those people could naturally see the situation clearly, now that their lives were in their hands, where was there room for resistance.
"Half a month ago, someone came to the village with a group of refugees, told us, hid them, and gave us all a sum of silver, let us keep it a secret, my lord, that's all the grass people know, and please raise your noble hand and let the villain go!"
For a while, begging for mercy came and went, Shen Yichi looked at the person who spoke and asked, "Where is the person now?" ”
"It's all scattered in our homes!"
Within a quarter of an hour, the refugees were gathered at the entrance of the village, both old and young, all in ragged clothes and with a dejected expression.
Shen Yichi was a little surprised, Yang Qin caught them, but he didn't kill them, he just hid them here, but it was also providential to be able to find this place by mistake.
Glancing at Shen Di, Shen Di took out his money bag and walked towards the refugees.
He scattered the money he had brought, and showed them a clear way.
"A hundred miles to the east is the imperial city, we will escort you to the east, and when you arrive at the imperial city, you can go to the drums and enter the palace to complain!"
Those refugees couldn't have imagined that they would be able to see the light of day again, and they could still tell their grievances, and they were stunned for a long time before someone came to their senses, knelt down, and kowtowed to Shen Yi.
"Thank you, thank you, your lord!"
Shen Dian took these people down, just waiting for tomorrow to leave, Shen Yichi squatted in front of the village chief, with a smile on his face.
"There's one more thing, I want to ask the village chief!"
"Big ...... Adults, please say ......"
As long as he can keep his little life, no matter what he is asked to do, he is willing.
Shen Yichi acted resolutely, and before dawn broke on the second day, everything had already been taken care of.
Ride on a horse
, nodded at Shen Dark.
"I'll leave it to you!"
Yang Qin must pass through this road when he returns to the city, and at that time, he only needs to drag him for a few days, and he will be able to deal with the affairs of the court with peace of mind.
Shen Shen bent down and arched his hand: "Your Highness, rest assured, this time you will return to the Imperial City, everything is dangerous, Your Highness must take care!" ”
Shen Yichi patted him on the shoulder: "When the matter is completed, someone will come to pick you up!" ”
The horses rode away, leaving nothing in the dust.
Shen Dian watched the army disappear into the sheep's intestine path, his eyes full of worry.
The matter was easily resolved, and the return trip was naturally much faster, and when he was about to arrive at the imperial city, the carrier pigeon sent him bad news, and General Lin was sent to the prison because of his private transfer of troops.
This matter was expected by Shen Yichi, the emperor had been afraid of the old general for a long time, and this time it was just a pretext.
However, after careful investigation, he will definitely be able to find out that these soldiers are now in his hands, I wonder how his father will react when he hears the news?
Xia Ling's country was full of gunsmoke, but Yu Yun was very calm.
Zhong Ling took Yun Xi back to Yuyun, and as soon as he entered the city, he was called into the palace by Ah Man, and he didn't even have time to enter the house.
In ancient times, Dayu controlled the water three times and did not enter the house, and now she Zhong Ling has worked hard to forgive the clouds!
Diligent Palace.
The resplendent style is even better than when she left, and Zhong Ling was also very amazed by Ah Man's aesthetics, from the window curtains to the incense burner, everything was golden.
She also wondered, she was also raised by the Queen Mother, how could her taste be so bad?
Green smoke curled in the incense burner, and the aroma of ambergris spread in the hall, Zhong Ling didn't like this domineering taste very much.
