Chapter 67: Battle, Victory (3)
"Ladies and gentlemen, please."
A group of soldiers, led by the storehouse clerk, walked into the house, but when they saw that there was no one upstairs and downstairs, they all slowed down vigilantly.
"Bookstore, this ......"
Before everyone could react, the bookstore had quietly slipped out, only to hear a 'pop', and the two doors behind him were locked tightly as soon as they closed.
Several sergeants were in a hurry, and hurriedly turned around and smashed the door panel: "Book office!" Book Office! What do you mean! ”
"Everyone, be quiet!" But seeing Cai Xianqing walking out of the corner, he waved to the soldiers, "This official is the right attendant of the military department, and it stands to reason that he is also your superior. ”
"Soldiers, he is indeed a member of the three grades," the secretary was afraid that the two sides would have a conflict, so he leaned on the door and explained, "There is indeed a big matter to discuss." ”
The group of soldiers were full of displeasure, but they didn't dare to disobey rashly, and they all bowed their hands and said, "What does the squire command?" ”
Cai Xianqing sat next to the wooden box full of silver, and smiled: "You are guarding the frontier for the country, and this lord must respect a little bit." If you give orders on your lips and do not pay attention to practical kindness, your hearts will be cold. ”
When the clerk heard this, the key in his hand shook a few times, and his heart was about to rise to his throat.
The soldiers were at a loss, staring at this Lord Cai suspiciously, wanting to see what tricks he was going to play.
"See this box?" Cai Xianqing pointed to the firewood box on the left-hand side, "The most tangible kindness in the world is inside." ”
He then bent down and lifted the box, and the inside suddenly flashed with a white light.
All the soldiers looked stupid, stared at the broken wooden box in a daze, and then looked at Cai Xianqing who was proud, looking incredulous.
"It was two hundred and fifty taels of silver. How many people are there? Cai Xianqing raised his hand and closed the box again, and everyone came back to their senses and listened carefully to his question.
"I ...... More than 50 of us, as well as our brothers, guarded the city gate, and did not dare to relax our vigilance. ”
"Then you are blessed, so let's sum it up here and divide it equally." Cai Xianqing stood up, put the chair aside, and let them flip through the box and take it wantonly.
The clerk's office outside the door heard it clearly, he was anxious and angry, took the key and turned it on the lock several times before opening it, and with a sweat on his head, he rushed back into the house and shouted loudly: "Lord Cai! Lord Cai! Don't keep your word! ”
"What did I say?" Cai Xianqing pretended not to know and remained unmoved.
"Don't take it! Don't take it! The secretary didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and when he ran into the crowd, he reached out to grab the silver, "This is what Cai Shilang wanted to give me before!" ”
"Nonsense!" Cai Xianqing said angrily, "The soldiers fought bloodily, this is what they deserve; How dare you take advantage of their bounty, you little scribe who has no merit of size! ”
The clerk was pushed away by the sergeant, staggered two steps, and simply knelt on the ground to cry and howl.
"Someone will get me out!" Cai Xianqing gave a categorical order, and immediately two soldiers dragged him out of the warehouse.
After a while, all the soldiers should have finished dividing, and they were already convinced of Cai Xianqing this time, and they were lined up in front of the 'right attendant', even neater than when they were about to fight.
"You may still think that today is not enjoyable, but I tell you, as long as you obey the orders of this official, no matter the money and silver, give them one by one!"
"Good!" Everyone held the silver in their hands and was extremely excited.
"Dare to ask all the soldiers, when did this captive attack?"
"Governor Shidu said that tomorrow there will be a large number of thieves attacking Xuanhua, telling me to prepare for the battle."
After Cai Xianqing heard this, he was silent and sighed repeatedly.
Everyone was deeply surprised: "This enemy is our duty, why is Cai Gong like this?" ”
"It's a pity that Shi Dudu is so preoccupied with his own fame that he ignores your lives!" Cai Xianqing stomped his feet painfully, "I have to practice on the school field on weekdays, and now that the enemy is present, we should step up the practice of the enemy's formation, but I completely ignore it, and when I get to the battlefield, wouldn't it be in vain to give my life!" ”
"Shi Du Du treats me well, and I don't expect it to be so ......"
Cai Xianqing waved his hand and interrupted everyone's speech: "Governor Shi Du knows that the captives are strong, but he does not take strict precautions, but blindly supervises you for success, this is throwing the responsibility on your heads!" He is the confidant of the current prime minister, and he blames the soldiers for the defeat in an attempt to prevaricate the court. At that time, even if you die tragically on the battlefield, you will not even be a martyr, and your old and young wives and children will not be blessed, so how can you support them? ”
When the soldiers heard this, they all wept sadly: "I beg Lord Cai to help us get out of this predicament!" ”
"The only way is to wait for Lord Ye and Shi Dudu to come, and you kneel down at the military gate to ask for a formation, so that Lord Ye can understand the situation in Xuanhua as soon as possible, so that Shi Du can be responsible, so as not to whitewash himself to the end, and the disaster will never be rooted."
As soon as everyone came to accept Cai Xianqing's kindness, and secondly, they were confused by these words, and they really doubted Shi Yiyi, so they resolutely agreed: "I am willing to listen to Cai Shilang's order!" ”
The secretary was still sad and angry in his heart, and soon after being dragged out of the warehouse, he ran to the deputy governor's office and explained what Cai Xianqing had done. The deputy governor had no prestige, and when he learned that a third-grade official was making a fortune, he had no choice but to reassure him and say: "This guy is a capricious villain, you don't have to deal with him." When General Shi returns, he will definitely give him a look. ”
"When are they coming?"
The deputy governor estimated that he should come, and just as he was about to answer, he suddenly saw the soldiers under the tent coming: "Governor Shi has arrived with Lord Ye, please go out of the city quickly to greet him!" ”
"Isn't this coming?" He smiled at the scrivener.
Although things were settled by Cai Xianqing, Ye Yongjia, who had just arrived, didn't know about it, but when he saw the greeting team, he was even more worried.
"Ye Shilang," a eunuch stood at the gate of the city, reaching out to pull the reins of Ye Yongjia's horse, "We will welcome you to Xuanhua!" ”
"Welcome to Xuanhua!" A group of people behind him all knelt down and shouted loudly.
Ye Yongjia got off the horse and looked up at them, but he didn't see Cai Xianqing.
'Nothing will happen to Master Cai, right?' He walked down the avenue in a panic and saluted everyone in front of him.
"What do you think of Xuanhua?" Shi Yiyi asked with a smile on the side.
Several eunuchs bowed down and said: "Xuanhua City is thriving, and the soldiers are preparing for war all day long, but there is no broken appearance. I heard that the captives fled north, so there must be no more fighting! ”
The two foreigners turned to look at Ye Yongjia: "Lord Ye, I feel the same way, we don't have to disturb Shi Dudu every day, you see that this tour is over, can you go back?" This is a good trip, but it can exhaust the father-in-law to death. ”
