Volume 1 The young man in white clothes left the capital Chapter 36 The military rations reappeared, and the iron cavalry sealed the mountain
In the prison of Guangdu City, there were shouts and begs for mercy......
Wang Aosheng was sitting in prison, the dim light mixed with the rancid smell permeating the corridor, and the disgusting smell made Wang Aosheng unable to even drink the tea in front of him.
After a while, a half-naked official walked over, and at the same time, the crying inside slowly stopped, and the official knelt on one knee and said, "Lord Wang, the grain merchant has been recruited, this is the testimony." ”
Wang Aosheng took the testimony and frowned when he saw it, "Mr. Wang from Luofu Mountain? ”
"Yes, the man sold the grain to these grain merchants for three deni, and the grain merchants sold it to the people for five deni." The official arched his hand and said.
"Five cents? That's all it takes? "There is no business or treachery, and the profits of these two coins make Wang Aosheng a little puzzled.
"It seems that Mr. Wang stipulated that he could only sell so much, otherwise he would not give them food."
Wang Aosheng bowed slightly, "Be optimistic about these grain merchants, you can't let them have trouble." ”
"Yes."
Wang Aosheng got up and left the prison, threw the testimony to the subordinates next to him, "Give this to General Lin, let General Lin quickly mobilize his troops, go to Luofu Mountain, find this Mr. Wang, and arrest him, the military rations case must be related to this person." ”
"Yes." The subordinates next to him quickly took the order to retreat, and did not dare to delay for a moment.
Now, Wang Aosheng only hopes that it will be too late.
……
Yindu, the Imperial Palace.
Gao Zhen sat in the study, and Han Zhongxuan, who was next to him, brought a bowl of lotus seed porridge, offered it with both hands, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the queen mother asked the old slave to send you a bowl of lotus seed porridge, saying that you like to stay up late, and drinking lotus seed porridge is good for your health." ”
"The queen has a heart."
Gao Zhen smiled and nodded, took a sip lightly, and couldn't help but nodded, "It tastes good, by the way, is there any news from Shuzhou?" ”
"Your Majesty, rest assured, the reason why King Anxi has been able to deter the three states of Sichuan and Shu for decades is mainly because of his Xiaocai general Lin Tianxiao, this person is brave and courageous, this time if you want to completely master Sichuan and Shu, you not only need to control King Anxi, but more importantly, this Lin Tianxiao." Han Zhongxuan said with a cold look in his eyes.
"This person is indeed a general, but it's a pity that he didn't follow the right person."
For this Lin Tianxiao Gao Zhen has also heard of it, three battles against Miao Jiang, captured the Gu King of Miao Jiang, forced Miao Jiang to return to Dafeng, and Wang Aosheng is Gao He's right-hand man.
After the first battle of Miaojiang, Gao Zhen sent people to try to recruit Lin Tianxiao for his own use, but unfortunately the messenger who went was scolded bitterly, and Lin Tianxiao said that unless he died, he would never change hands.
"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry too much, the old slave has already arranged it." Han Zhongxuan arched his hand and said, looking at Han Zhongxuan's expression, Gao Zhen nodded with satisfaction, "Gonggong Han, don't repeat the mistakes of Jiangbei Town." ”
"Yes, please rest assured, Your Majesty, and wait for good news." Han Zhongxuan retreated.
After Han Zhongxuan left, Gao Zhen overturned the lotus seed porridge on the table, snorted coldly, turned around and continued to review the chapter.
……
Shuzhou, Luofu Mountain.
A group of soldiers in black armor rode war horses on the mountain road, all the way smoke and dust were everywhere, the horses' hooves were bursting, and the birds of Luofu Mountain were flying wildly.
The middle-aged man led by him had resolute eyes, heavy armor, and his eyes revealed a terrifying sense of killing, here is Lin Tianxiao, the general of Xiaocai who is in charge of 30,000 light cavalry in Shuzhou, and the general that King Anxi relies on the most.
"Report ......"
A hurried scout shout came into Lin Tianxiao's ears.
"Woo ......" Le Ma stopped, the war horse under his crotch let out a neigh, the scout came to the horse, and said: "General, I found a thatched house not far ahead, with wheel prints outside the house and traces of grain in the yard. ”
"So hide here, chase!" Lin Tianxiao snorted coldly, and the hundred cavalry behind him went all the way to the thatched house.
When I came to the thatched house halfway up the Luofu Mountain, the house was already empty, and the wheel prints at the door were clearly visible, chaotic, and it could be seen that there must have been a lot of grain being transported.
Turning over and dismounting, Lin Tianxiao came to a corner of the yard, the corner was full of scattered wheat, grabbed the wheat grains mixed with the soil, Lin Tianxiao shook the wooden stake in front of him with a palm, "He ran away." ”
"General, what are we going to do next?" The adjutant next to him said anxiously.
"Blockade Luofu Mountain, all carriages will be strictly checked, and Luofu Mountain is not allowed to enter or exit!" Lin Tianxiao shouted.
"Huh? General, those people in this court are still on the mountain, will there be something wrong with us doing this......" The adjutant general next to him said worriedly.
"Close the mountain, let them find me if they have something." Lin Tianxiao turned around and got on his horse, "Burn this place." ”
"Yes."
The black smoke billowed from Luofu Mountain, and Lin Tianxiao took out the testimony given to him by Wang Aosheng from his cuffs, looked at it again and again, and frowned.
In order to prevent people from entering and leaving the mountain without permission, Lin Tianxiao sent troops to seal all the intersections in and out of the mountain, sent heavy troops to guard them, and personally sat in Luofu Mountain.
Within two days, the people from the Criminal Department came to the door, and at the gate of the barracks, a group of men in official uniforms came to the gate of Lin Tianxiao's barracks with a disgraced face, standing at the door with a gloomy face and shouting: "Lin Tianxiao, Lin Tianxiao, you come out for this official." ”
But Lin Tianxiao didn't come out after shouting for a long time, and the soldiers at the door were also holding spears at the door, although these officials were angry, they didn't dare to break in when they looked at the iron and silver guns, so they could only shout at the door.
Lin Tianxiao in the camp looked at the book calmly, and the deputy general next to him couldn't help but complain: "These people are still officials of the Criminal Department of Yindu, all of them are neither big nor small, and they actually call the general by his name, I don't know if you are also a general of Dafeng Sipin?" ”
Lin Tianxiao put down the book and calmly looked at the deputy general next to him, "Let them shout for a while, and don't shout when they are tired." ”
This moment is an afternoon, in such a hot weather, those civil officials are lazy in Yindu one by one, and they can't hold it in Luofu Mountain, but now they are being dried by Lin Tianxiao for an afternoon, and by dusk, they are already tired and speechless.
They all had dry mouths, and for the sake of the so-called backbone and face, they refused to leave, and they refused to ask for water to drink, so they stood so hard.
Hearing that the sound outside was getting quieter and quieter, Lin Tianxiao stretched his waist and got up slowly, "Let's go, go and meet these officials and masters of Yindu." ”
When they came to the gate of the camp, those officials wiped the beads of sweat on their foreheads and saw Lin Tianxiao walking out, although his legs were trembling from being tired, he still straightened his waist one by one, and looked up at Lin Tianxiao who came over.
Lin Tianxiao came to the door, and first pretended to be very angry and scolded the soldiers standing at the door, "What did you do, didn't you see that several adults are officials of Yindu?" How can they stand outside the camp, see that a few adults are tired, and quickly go and fetch water to quench the thirst of a few adults. ”
The soldiers next to him retreated, and seeing Lin Tianxiao's attitude, these officials became even more proud, and they still thought in their hearts, you are interested.
"Adults, I'm Lin Tianxiao, what are you looking for me?" Lin Tianxiao stood at the gate of the camp and arched his hand, and his respectful attitude made it impossible for those officials to say what came to their mouths.
The poor leader was just about to enter the camp to rest, but Lin Tianxiao gave his hand like this, and the foot that was carried out was taken back.
He coughed and cleared his throat, "General Lin, we came to Luofu Mountain to investigate the robbery of military rations on the order of the emperor, but you closed the mountain and trapped us in the mountain and didn't let us out, why is this?" ”
"It's because of this, a few adults, don't worry, isn't our prince in Beijing, there are many bandits in Luofu Mountain, and after learning that the prince has entered Beijing, he is very active these days.
They set the fire halfway up the mountain at noon today, and I also ordered the closure of the mountain for the safety of several adults. ”
Lin Tianxiao explained patiently, they also saw the fire at noon, and thought it was a mountain fire caused by the hot weather, so they didn't care.
They also knew something about the bandits in Luofu Mountain, and they couldn't find anything wrong with Lin Tianxiao's explanation.
"There are a lot of mosquitoes and beasts in the mountains, we can't live in the mountains for a long time, and I ask General Lin to let us go down the mountain, we can not go out of the mountain during the day, but not at night."
An elderly official next to him said helplessly, with a better attitude than the previous official.
Lin Tianxiao shook his head in embarrassment, "Several adults, there are bandits everywhere under this mountain, for your safety, let's bear with it a little longer, wait for a few days when the bandits are calmed down, and then it's not too late to go down the mountain." ”
The environment in this mountain is indeed very bad, especially in summer, all kinds of mosquitoes torture, this environment is what these Yin Duguan masters can bear.
The official at the head of the group had a gloomy face, licked his chapped lips, kept looking into the tent, and scolded in his heart: What kind of person is this, he is so slow to get water.
"General Lin, when will this bandit be calmed down, we can't get out of the mountain, and the emperor is still waiting for our news." The official at the head frowned and said.
Lin Tianxiao sneered in his heart, this guy has already moved out of the emperor, "Don't be impatient, don't be impatient, this trouble is not up to us, you adults, go back first, and I'll inform you when there is news." ”
The official at the head said angrily: "Lin Tianxiao, what do you mean to go back first, you must give an accurate time today, we are all shouldering the emperor's order, if you miss the emperor's major event, you will not be able to cut off even ten heads!" ”
"Hey, how do you talk to my general?" The adjutant next to him pointed at the official and glared angrily.
"Vice General Zhang, don't be rude to adults." Lin Tianxiao frowned and said.
Vice General Zhang retreated helplessly, glaring at the official viciously, and Lin Tianxiao continued to smile:
"My lord, you have wronged me, I am also thinking about the safety of a few people, this mountain bandit is all asking for money and not dying, a few of them look like a big man, who will you rob if you don't rob you, do you say yes."
The elderly official next to him stopped the official who was about to scold, and shook his head helplessly, "Forget it, let's say a few words, let's go back and wait." ”
"That's it, this adult can see it." Lin Tianxiao pretended to be proud.
"If it is really for our sake, send someone to escort us down the mountain, and it is the man who thinks about us when we are trapped in the mountain." The official at the head pointed to Lin Tianxiao's nose again and said.
Lin Tianxiao's face changed, no one dared to point at his nose to speak, this kid was the first, Lin Tianxiao's eyes were like a sharp sword staring at the man in front of him, "You can point it again." ”
"You ......" Although the man was angry, he still withdrew his hand, "Hmph, vulgar martial artist! ”
This was heard by Vice General Zhang, who directly pulled out his sword, pointed at the man and said, "Look for death." ”
"Don't be angry, don't be angry, we'll just listen to General Lin's arrangement." The old official hurriedly pulled the young official, for fear of really offending these people, the sword is not long-sighted.
"Hmph, Lin Tianxiao, remember how you treated me today, I will definitely pay it back in the future, you will have to plant it in my Feng Xi's hands sooner or later!"
The leader of the official said angrily, and then brushed his sleeves away, and he didn't take a step into the barracks until he left, and he didn't drink a sip of water.
After these criminal department officials left, Lin Tianxiao turned around and said coldly: "A group of wastes who are in the mountains every day eating, drinking and having fun, I really think that no one knows, investigating the case, counting on you to investigate the case, you can't find food for a lifetime!" ”
"I still want to drink water, my Lin Tianxiao's military camp, waste can't come in!"
