Chapter 49: The Man Behind the Scenes

In the granary of Cliff Mountain, there was originally enough grain for the entire cottage to eat Haisai for a whole year, which Zhao Hengyi knew.

But the treasure Wang Erhu said was not food.

Looking at the extremely ingenious cellar hidden, the copper plates scattered all over the place and the neatly stacked silver ingots in the box, Rao is Zhao Hengyi was also stunned!

Is it so profitable to be a bandit?

In addition to the silver coins, there are also some scattered ornaments, gold and silver utensils randomly stacked in the cellar, it seems that the thieves of the Cliff Mountain have robbed their homes over the years!

Someone was sent to pick up the silver coins in the cellar, and after careful counting, the copper plate and silver ingots together amounted to nearly 5,000 taels!

Among the crowd, even Xing Xiaorong, the servant in charge of the Dangyang Courtyard, had never seen so much money, but this kid claimed that he had seen more silver tickets, and everyone only thought he was bragging nonsense, and no one paid attention to it.

The money naturally has to be taken care of, and Zhao Hengyi has his own plans for how to distribute it.

It was the wooden box that the one-eyed golden eagle Fang Dayong solemnly sacrificed, and Zhao Hengyi attached great importance to it.

There are not only letters between Fang Dayong, the bandit leader, and Huang Xin, the master of Dangyang County, and Yuan Mei, the head catcher, but also many notes that have not been signed.

I'm afraid these notes are what Fang Dayong really relies on!

It takes more than half a day to let the big guys clean up the entire cliff mountain, carry all the bodies of the thieves to the back mountain and burn them clean, and bury the three tragically dead meat tickets and the woman who jumped off the stone wall.

Zhao Hengyi himself, on the other hand, found a quiet room and lined up the letters and notes stored in the wooden box one after another, as if playing a puzzle game, guessing the hidden information behind these things.

Among the letters, there are several letters that entrust Fang Dayong to deal with Yushuwan, but like the letter that Zhao Hengyi received in Yushuwan, none of them have been signed and timed.

At the same time, in the letter written by Master Huang Xin Huang to Fang Dayong, he also mentioned the matter of dealing with Yushuwan.

After thinking about it carefully, Zhao Hengyi was able to determine that this Huang Xin and Master Huang should play the role of a middleman.

The guy who wants to deal with Yushuwan to deal with Zhao Hengyi and seize the new loom technology is through this Master Huang that he can contact the bandits of Cliff Mountain!

And Fang Dayong once said before his death that he was Master Huang's person, which was also confirmed in the letters.

It is said that he and that Yuan Zhutou are brothers, and it is very likely that they are deceitful, although the two sides also have correspondence, but the number is not much, and it can be seen that that Yuan Zhutou did not really take Fang Dayong seriously.

In a county town, in addition to the county master, the master and the head catcher have joined forces, and they have been able to influence most things in Dangyang County, and the origin of this Master Huang does not seem to be simple.

In the letters, Zhao Hengyi found an extremely important message!

The bandits of Cliff Mountain trafficked people, and more than half of them were sold to the territory occupied by the barbarians!

Selling his compatriots to the enemy as slaves and servants, this is the point, he can charge Fang Dayong and the people behind him with a crime of communicating with foreign clans, and the nine clans will not be able to resolve their hatred!

When he was still in Yonggu City, Song Ying'an once mentioned that there were many traitors planted by foreigners in the city, and Zhao Hengyi was somewhat aware of this even in the Xuanzi camp.

It's not that there are spies in the Xuanzi camp, but Zhao Hengyi suspects that even when the barbarian army is coming, there are people in Yonggu City who report to the barbarians!

The bandits in Cliff Mountain are only entrenched, and even if they are trafficking in human beings, they don't have the ability to deliver people to buyers by hand.

And the guy in charge of transporting the trafficked human beings is the real mastermind behind it.

Even through those notes that according to the rules, Fang Dayong should be burned immediately after reading them, Zhao Hengyi could guess that even Fang Dayong himself came to the cliff mountain and fell into the grass, and finally seized the throne of the big boss step by step, all of which were arranged by the mastermind behind the scenes!

Five years ago, the bandits of Cliff Mountain had fallen into the hands of the masterminds behind the trafficking of human beings to barbarian territory, so what about the other bandits around Dangyang County? Is there a force that is controlled in the same way as the Cliff Mountain Cottage?

There are no answers to these questions, and if you want to investigate, there is only one direction, that is Master Huang Xin Huang.

Even if Zhao Hengyi didn't want to provoke the mastermind behind the scenes, but he uprooted the cliff mountain cottage, presumably the other party would not let him go.

However, through Master Huang, he bought off the thieves of Cliff Mountain to deal with Zhao Hengyi and the people of Yushuwan, even if he did not leave the money, he faintly pointed to Jiangling Mansion.

The other party should come from another big force, Master Huang once mentioned in his letter to Fang Dayong that once this deal is completed, not only will the bandits in Cliff Mountain be able to make a lot of money, but Fang Dayong himself can also get the favor of the big people in another force!

I have to say that Zhao Hengyi's decisive attack is simply correct!

But if he dares to hesitate a little, he is afraid that he will face pressure from all sides, and no one can say what the final situation will become.

Instead, it directly uprooted the bandits in Cliff Mountain, which would make many people jealous and suspicious, and bought Zhao Hengyi time to move and continue to develop.

Carefully put away these letters and notes again, Zhao Hengyi hid them directly, the information revealed in them was myriad, and it was extremely implicated, and he had to discuss it with Song San and Song Steward when he went back.

It takes a lot of time to clean up the smoky cliff mountain, and the people brought by Zhao Hengyi can only give priority to the heavy physical work, sprinkle and sweep the light work, and wait until those saved women and children will take care of their bodies and do it themselves.

When night fell, everyone sat cross-legged around the campfire, and Zhao Hengyi distributed the spoils.

About 5,000 taels worth of silver money was almost completely divided by Zhao Hengyi, as long as they participated in the attack on Broken Cliff Mountain this time, regardless of their identity, everyone had a share!

This is an unbelievable behavior in the eyes of everyone, the one who contributed the most and fought the most bravely, the leader of the ten-person team who led people to climb the stone wall first, was divided into a full hundred taels!

The other veterans have also gained a lot of money, they just came to Zhao Hengyi, and they haven't received their wages and settling-in allowances yet, just with these distributed spoils, they have all become small fortunes!

There was too much money, and everyone felt that it was hot, and they were not stable in holding it one by one.

"What are the brothers who followed me, Zhao Hengyi, was born and died?"

Against the backdrop of the firelight, Zhao Hengyi said loudly, "Eliminate harm for the people, save those sisters who have fallen into the clutches of the devil, and turn the world in a better direction, these are all righteousness!"

But righteousness alone is not enough, you can't let your brothers not have enough food and clothing, and you can't take care of your wives and children at home, and you can't do these things with your blood alone, right?

I, Zhao Hengyi, am here to give you a bottom line, follow me in the future, we want the name of righteousness, and the real benefits are indispensable! ”
