Chapter 21 The County Banquet

"You're not doing it right!"

The vine raised his eyebrows and rolled his eyes: "What's wrong?" So what do you say to do? ”

"You go and lure people away, I'll sneak in and see!"

Chen Qigang was silent for a moment and said such a sentence of anger!

“…… What's the difference? "If it weren't for the fact that there were many people over there, I would definitely have to fight with Chen Qigang first!

"You're ugly, it's easier to recruit people!" Chen Qigang said flatly.

"......" Fuji Zhi used 120,000 points of 'stamina' to resist the urge to do it on the spot: "You can do it!" ”

When Chen Qi had just sneaked to the other end of the courtyard, Teng Zhen raised his hand and threw out a few stones to lure some of the officials in front of the small courtyard away.

"Whoosh-"

The vine flute then flew up again, revealing a slight figure, leading the other part of the courtyard away.

At this moment, there were only four or five left in front of the courtyard gate, but these were no longer enough to affect Chen Qigang's actions.

After a few climbs, Chen Qigang gently leaned on the wall of the small courtyard, and then looked at the opportunity, quickly climbed up to the eaves, and hid his figure by the dark corner of the eaves.

People came and went in the small courtyard, and there were constantly people wearing variegated clothes, unloading some military rations from the grain trucks.

Break the seal of the grain bag and toss it upside down.

"Humph!"

After seeing it, Chen Qigang felt that it was almost over, so he quickly sneaked away from the other side.

Gathering the rattan flutes, no matter what he asked, Chen Qigang walked back with his head down, anxious to find Min Feihan to report.

Min Feihan, who had just fallen asleep with the lights out, suddenly heard a noise from the door and window.

"Who?" Sitting up, he glanced at the slight bulge on his chest, Min Feihan put on his coat, and felt that he shouldn't be able to see anything, so he said with confidence: "Come in!" ”

"Squeak-" After a sound, Chen Qigang and Teng Di flashed in.

"What did you find?" Min Feihan asked.

Chen Qigang's face towel had been removed at this time, so he could see that his face was not very good. "The people in the courtyard are changing the military rations, mixing some inferior grains mixed with sand and gravel into the military rations, and exchanging some good grains!"

"They're pouring food!" Min Feihan also didn't expect it, so after listening to Chen Qigang's words, he exclaimed.

But what shocked Min Feihan even more was Teng Zhen's subsequent words.

It turned out that after the rattan led the servants away, he turned back and sneaked into a nearby courtyard out of curiosity.

But what Fuji Di didn't expect was that the houses in those courtyards were all full of hoarded grain.

At first glance, there are five or six large houses in a courtyard, and each room can store at least 400 loads of grain. And there were four large courtyards in the vicinity, and if each compound was six large houses, each house would be counted as four hundred loads of grain......

The three people in the room calculated for a while, especially Min Feihan, with the current unit of measurement, as well as the silver exchange rate, Min Feihan's heart was slightly cold.

If a few courtyards are full of grain, it will be hundreds of thousands of catties, and at the current price of grain, a total of nearly 10,000 taels of silver!

Military rations are already more expensive than ordinary people's food, so ......

In an instant, Min Feihan understood the meaning of Xiahou Yan transferring her here, such a big moth, if she didn't clean it up, the military rations alone could make Xiyu lose tens of thousands of taels of silver every year.

If this goes on for a long time, it will not be able to bear it in a rich country!

This is the case with only one grain road in Pingtong Town, and if it is the same with several other grain roads, it is even more unimaginable!

I understand, but Min Feihan also feels a headache.

This kind of thing, when I used to read through history, but all dynasties and all wars existed.

And along with these, what follows is the disputes and struggles of the high-level of the imperial court, and the collusion of interests between various forces.

If you offend one, you will offend a group!

"Go back and rest first!"

Min Feihan was also upset at this time, and he couldn't figure out what was going on because he thought of the implication in the back. So I could only send Chen Qigang and Teng Zhen away first, and then lay on the bed and tossed over.

I don't know when I fell asleep, and when I woke up the next morning, Min Feihan had two big dark circles under her eyes.

"Hanzhi, you didn't sleep well last night?" Ma Qianyuan and Qiu Shun came to see Min Feihan in the morning, and they saw the lieutenant officer with black circles under his eyes, so he asked puzzledly.

Without answering this nonsense question, Min Feihan took out a letter from his sleeve that he had written when he got up this morning: "This letter will be sent to the Chinese army camp immediately and handed over to Marshal Xiahou!" ”

A fast horse galloped out of Pingtong Town, and hurried all the way to the location of Xiahou Yan at this time.

'Xunyang City' is also the first lost border fortress town in Xiyu since the Qianghou rebellion.

After Min Feihan rushed to Pingtong Town, Xiahou Yan also immediately waved his army to inflict heavy losses on the Qiang Hou army, not only repelling the two strong attacks of Qiang Hou, but also taking advantage of the situation to recapture the last frontier fortress lost by Xiyu in one fell swoop.

Now the land that has been encroached upon in the past few years can be regarded as a complete recovery.

All that remains is to completely defeat Qiang Hou and quell this years-long war between Xiyu and Xiqiang as soon as possible!

In the city guard mansion, Xiahou Yan took the letter and opened it to take a look: "Hmph! ”

Yutai picked up the letter from the bookcase and glanced at it: "People don't want to get involved." ”

"By her?" Xiahou Yan pondered for a moment: "Write a letter to tell him that if the affairs of Pingtong Town are not smooth, and he can't sweep the moths over there, he won't have to come back!" ”

Yutai thought for a while: "Maybe people have to come back!" ”

Xiahou Yan sat on the handsome seat and squinted at Yutai: "Then add a sentence, within three months, if it can't be solved, he will be beheaded according to military law!" ”

So when a letter fell back into Min Feihan's hands, Min Feihan really wanted to cry without tears!

Don't think about coming down when this thief ship goes, unless you are not afraid of drowning!

Ma Qianyuan and others, who also saw the content of the letter, also stared at Min Feihan one by one at this time.

"What are we going to do?" Li Nazi didn't look at the timing, but asked very much with the hearts of others.

Min Fei was silent for a moment: "What else can I do, either I die, or the county Cheng dies, who do you think is better to die?" ”

Li Nazi didn't even think about it: "Then it's better to die in the county!" ”

The rest nodded in agreement!

So Min Feihan and the others began to think about what way to solve the matter in Pingtong Town.

Although the county was exposed, he couldn't lead people to arrest him so clearly.

Moreover, the sudden appearance of the mountain bandits outside the town also made Min Feihan a little concerned in his heart.

If it was really as she thought, the county and the mountain bandits were colluded with each other, and the other party was so attacked inside and out, but it was their seventh patrol guard who was in danger!

"My lord, the county outside the door sent someone to deliver a post," the guard handed over the invitation.

Min Feihan took it and looked at it, and wrote that she was invited to the banquet.

After reading the post, Min Feihan pondered for a moment: "Chen Qigang and Qiu Shun, you two will go with me!" ”

Ma Qianyuan also wanted to follow, but was returned by Min Feihan.

As for the rattan and the others, they have a night patrol to do, and they can't accompany them.

"Zhao Hui has ascertained the situation on the bandits' side, but the terrain around 'Bishui Ling' has not been explored?" Before leaving, Min Feihan asked.

"Zhao Hui is still looking for an opportunity to spy on the side, and as for the topography of 'Bishuiling', I almost understand it!" Qiu Shun hurriedly reported the situation.

Nodding his head and leading people out, along the way, Min Feihan calculated in his heart, if it really didn't work, he could only force the county and the mountain bandits to take the first step.

Otherwise, just by relying on the military rations in those courtyards, although they can move to the county, it will inevitably make the people behind take the opportunity to get away with their crimes.

Presumably, Xiahou Yan will not just think about it, even if he can't reach out to the state capital, I'm afraid he will have to find out the clues of the matter, so as to leave Xiahou Yan with the opportunity to find someone to settle accounts in the future.

That being the case, today's banquet is a good opportunity to force the county to take the initiative!

Since I came here, I haven't seen the county here, and today the other party suddenly invited, there must be something.

Min Feihan took Chen Qigang and Qiu Shun to the county mansion, and after following the little guy into the mansion, he really saw this Pingtong Town county man who was in the main hall.

Cui Weichang once said that this county prince seems to be surnamed 'Liang', so Min Feihan looked at the person in the official robe: "It's polite to meet Lord Liang for the first time!" ”

"Be polite, the little brother is young and promising, he is a lieutenant at such an age, but the official is disrespectful!" Liang Xiancheng also smiled lightly and clenched his fists.

The two of them staggered half of their bodies slightly, and entered the room one after the other and sat down.

There were also some small officials from the county yamen, and to Min Feihan's surprise, it turned out to be Cui Weichang who was also present!

"Come on, try this good tea." Liang Xiancheng secretly saw Min Feihan looking at Cui Weichang's eyes, and gradually hid the smile on the corner of his mouth.

After a few sips of tea, the family served the dishes while they were hot.

Liang Xiancheng introduced Min Feihan one by one, and a few people tasted the dishes on the table.

Liang Xiancheng sandwiched a chopstick dish, glanced at Min Feihan and said, "Lieutenant Min Du came out here, are you still used to it?" ”

"Habit, when you are a soldier, you can change places anytime and anywhere, and the most important thing is to learn to get used to the new environment immediately in order to survive!" Min Feihan replied with a smile.

"Well said, Lieutenant Min Du is a person who knows how to adapt to the situation." Liang Xiancheng praised it with a smile, and then his face suddenly changed again: "Since Lieutenant Min Du knows the way to deal with the situation, he must also understand that in this place, there is a local customs and habits, just take my Pingtong Town as an example!"

At night, it's better to go to bed early! Right, Lieutenant Min Du?! ”

Chen Qigang was also present during the banquet, and although his face did not change when he heard this, he was vigilant from the bottom of his heart.

However, Min Feihan was like a nobody, and he still tasted a few dishes with chopsticks and chopsticks. Only then did he stop his hand slightly and raised his head to look at Liang Xiancheng.

The eyes of the two collided during the banquet, and Min Feihan suddenly raised his lips and smiled: "Of course, there is nothing to do at night, so naturally you should rest early." ”

Speaking of this, Min Feihan's tone suddenly changed: "But there are always some people who are used to doing things at night, and they can't rest at ease, speaking of which, it's really annoying!" What do you say, Lord Prefectural?! ”

Liang Xiancheng looked at Min Feihan's eyes narrowed slightly, and stared at the little boy opposite for a while.

"What I'm saying is that Lieutenant Min is responsible for maintaining the peace of this place, but he is tired!" Liang Xiancheng was a little smiling at this time.

"I don't dare to take the word tired, and my duty lies." Min Feihan didn't let in the slightest between his words.

Liang Xiancheng's face became colder and colder, although he still did not walk away, but he was almost to the bottom line that he couldn't bear it.
