Chapter 109: Zhuge Descendants
Ye Ying did not deceive Fan Lingyan, there are indeed a lot of things in the cottage recently, and the personnel of the cottage have increased exponentially, which has greatly improved the strength of the Flying Eagle Society, but there are also many things that need to be sorted out.
These brothers who have joined the cottage are uneven, and they are not very familiar with the various regulations of the cottage, especially when they used to be bandits, they are used to being free and loose, and their discipline is obviously too poor.
During this time, there have been several fights among these new recruits, which has had a very bad impact on the cottage. There are even people who take advantage of the night to get into the place where the female relatives live, trying to do some bad things, but fortunately, they found it early and did not cause a big disaster.
Because he was eager to help Chasing Wind Ridge solve the trapped matter, Ye Ying didn't have time to deal with these messy guys in time, but instead made a small group of people more and more rampant.
This time, after Ye Ying returned to the cottage, he was ready to rectify the order of the cottage and set rules for these newcomers. In Ye Ying's view, although the Flying Eagle Society is a team of bandits, if the cottage wants to develop and grow, it must have strict discipline like the army.
What Ye Ying didn't expect was that Fan Lingyan, who was unintentionally brought up the mountain by him, played a great role in this matter.
As a woman, Fan Lingyan hates the guy who tries to bully women the most, so the guy who tries to do bad things is miserable by her. was first hung in the sun for half a day, and he stopped eating and drinking for a day, if it wasn't for everyone's dissuasion, that guy's "tool of crime" would be separated from his body.
Those guys who drank and made trouble at every turn, and fought and brawled, of course, were also punished, and Miss Fan personally took action, beating those guys to the flesh, and they all said that they would abide by the rules of the cottage.
This violent woman's behavior frightened those who were about to move, and completely dispelled the idea of making trouble, and even some people saw this little evil star, and their legs were a little weak.
Under Fan Lingyan's atrocities, these newcomers have become well-behaved, which made all the leaders of the cottage breathe a sigh of relief, and they began to do everything step by step as before.
Fan Lingyan also has a credit for coming over, she and her four maids have all learned martial arts since childhood, and their skills are even higher than most of the leaders of the Flying Eagle Society. The training of the women of the Flying Eagle Club has always been a headache for the cottage, but Fan Lingyan and the others are handy, which has greatly improved the combat power of these girls.
Everything in the cottage is developing in a benign direction, but Ye Ying, as a big boss, is not satisfied, the scale development of the cottage is still too slow, and there is a shortage of talents in all aspects, especially the talents who need to have great wisdom and vision to lead the rapid development of the cottage.
"Big boss, I know a person who is a very powerful person, a descendant of Mr. Zhuge Zhuge of the great sage of the previous dynasty, but he should be in Beiban now." Hearing Ye Ying's demand, the eldest Zhu Tong took two puffs of cigarette and said suddenly.
"What Brother Zhu said is Zhuge Ying." Hearing Zhu Tong's words, Jiang Jin, the division of the Left Army, also reacted.
"Jiang Junshi is really well-informed, and he guessed correctly at once." After listening to Jiang Jin's words, Zhu Tong said with a smile, confirming the guess of the award Jin.
Under the narration of Zhu Tong and Jiang Jin, Ye Ying knew Zhuge Yingqi, who was a famous person twenty years ago.
Twenty years ago, the Northern barbarians besieged Dongliang, the capital of Daning, and the new and old emperors and most of the civil and military in the city panicked, and only a few ministers were relatively calm, calmly leading the soldiers in the city of Dongliang to defend the city desperately.
It was in this chaotic situation that Zhuge Ying stood out, and at the age of twenty-five or sixteen, he repeatedly offered strange schemes to help the defenders of the Eastern Liang break up the Northern Barbarians' plots again and again and repel their attacks.
Zhuge Ying's identity as a descendant of Zhuge Daxian, and his strategy were soon appreciated by the new emperor Liu Heng, who gave him a lot of power to participate in the command of the battle against the Northern Barbarians, and received good results.
But Zhuge Ying's behavior touched the interests of some big families in Daning, and after the situation stabilized a little, he began to restrain Zhuge Ying and framed him, so that Zhuge Ying was quickly demoted.
Later, several erroneous actions of the imperial court caused the Eastern Liang defenders to lose nearly half, and the situation began to be precarious again, and the new emperor had to use Zhuge Ying again, but it was too late. In the end, two generations of emperors and hundreds of officials were arrested, and Zhuge Ying wanted to jump from the city tower to commit suicide, but was stopped by the Northern Barbarians and unfortunately became a prisoner.
"It is said that the Northern Barbarians once asked Zhuge Ying to surrender with a high-ranking official, but he resolutely refused, and was finally demoted to slavery, and there was no follow-up." Jiang Jin said regretfully.
"An old buddy of mine saw him in Utu a few years ago, so he should still be alive." Zhu Tong knocked his pipe and said.
"He's just a slave now, and after so many years of this, it shouldn't be difficult for us to bring him back from the Northern Barbarians, but the biggest problem now is to find him." After listening to the narration of the two, Ye Ying suddenly became interested.
From Zhu Tong and Jiang Jin's narrations, Ye Ying felt that this Zhuge Ying was indeed the great talent that the Flying Eagle Society needed, and soon decided to go to Beiban in person to find a way to find this legendary figure.
In the next few days, Ye Ying was making preparations, and after planning and arranging everything, he set off for Utu City in Beiban, the place where Zhuge Ying was finally found.
But what Ye Ying didn't expect was that a sudden incident happened a few days later, which made him have to postpone his plan to go to Beiman.
On this day, a bandit who was in charge of guarding the gate came to see Ye Ying with a middle-aged man who was bloated and well-dressed. Who knows, this middle-aged man who should have mixed well should have mixed well, and when he saw Ye Ying, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously.
"Little Lao'er Zhang Fu visited the king and begged the king to save my son, and the little old man is willing to exchange all his family property and my life." The middle-aged man's forehead was swollen, and then he said something with a sad face, which made Ye Ying confused.
"If you have something, just say it!" Seeing this Zhang Fu's operation, there must be something more important, Ye Ying should ask him in a calm tone as much as possible.
But what I didn't expect was that this Zhang Fu may have been too excited, and he said a handful of snot and tears for a long time. Everyone present was stunned and didn't understand, what did he want to express?
"If you can't talk properly, get me down the hill." Seeing this scene, Qi Jiao, who rushed to hear the news, couldn't bear it, and he roared, scaring this Zhang Fu into a thrill.
After Qi Jiao's roar, Zhang Fu magically calmed down and told everyone the purpose of going up the mountain. What everyone didn't expect was that Zhang Fu actually made a strange request, asking the Flying Eagle Society to send someone to rob the law field to save his son.
After Zhang Fu's narration, Ye Ying and others figured out that this Zhang Fu was a businessman, mainly engaged in silk business, and after years of hard work, he also saved a lot of family property.
However, this is the property that was jealous of others, and a nearby family colluded with local officials to confiscate a large piece of mulberry land of Zhang Fu's family on trumped-up charges, relying on their relatives who were senior officials in Jinling.
Zhang Fu's only son was young and vigorous, and went to reason with them, but was beaten violently, Zhang Fu's son was completely enraged, dragged the knife of a vendor on the side of the road, and stabbed one of the other party's people, and stabbed the hornet's nest.
The county sent someone to arrest Zhang Fu's son, and without even trial, Zhang Fu's son was sentenced to kill his head.
Of course, Zhang Fu didn't want his son to die unjustly, so he chose to file a lawsuit to avenge his grievances, he spent a lot of money to rely on many connections, and found officials at all levels, but no one dared to accept the case. Seeing that the day of questioning and beheading was getting closer and closer, Zhang Fu, who was sick and went to the doctor, came to the Flying Eagle Club, which has recently become famous, and prayed to the cottage to save his son.
"Look at what you said, you can't solve the wrongful wrong, can we bandits still redress your grievances?" Hearing Zhang Fu's words, Qi Jiao on the side said in wonder.
The leaders who rushed to hear the news were also talking on the side at this time, but they all agreed that there was no need for the Flying Eagle Society to wade into this troubled water.
And Ye Ying was sitting there at this time, without saying a word... In his mind, Shan Fu's father, Shan Laoshi, was framed by the profiteer Jiafu.
After living in a small mountain village for more than ten years, Ye Ying has seen many officials who bully people, forcing the people's wives to be separated, and the family is ruined and killed. In Ye Ying's bones, he can't see those bullying dog officials the most.
"I beg the king to save the villain's son, the villain will be a cow and a horse for the rest of his life to repay the king's great kindness." Hearing the opposition of the leaders, Zhang Fu was anxious, he climbed to Ye Ying, and kowtowed fiercely on the ground.
"Okay, I promise you." Seeing that Zhang Fu's forehead had been bumped with blood, Ye Ying, who was moved by this father's true feelings, couldn't help but say.
"Thank you, thank you, ...... King" Hearing Ye Ying's words, Zhang Fu immediately said excitedly.
In fact, Ye Ying's words rushed out of his mouth, but after he calmed down a little, he regretted it a little, for the sake of Zhang Fu, who he never knew, it was a very irrational thing to go to the government, but seeing Zhang Fu's appearance, Ye Ying still made up his mind.
Of course, Ye Ying promised to help Zhang Fu, but there was still a reason to consider the cottage. Now there are a lot of things such as wood, medicinal herbs, and game obtained from the mountains, and most of them are sold with the help of Ma Zhengyuan's caravans.
Although the cooperation between Ma Zhengyuan and Ye Ying is very pleasant, he is an outsider after all. Ye Ying has always wanted to set up his own caravan and sales network, but these guys in the meeting, if they want to let them fight and kill, let them do business, it may only be a loss.
Now the appearance of Zhang Fu has made Ye Ying's eyes shine, this rich family has been in business for generations, and it is not easy to let his father and son take charge of this matter.
Seeing that Ye Ying had agreed, although the leaders in the cottage still had some different opinions, they all kept their mouths shut. Because they have now made it a habit to do their best to carry out whatever the big boss decides.
The Flying Eagle Society is a team of bandits, but it is more like a village hiding in the mountains, and the bandits have not done much to really rob homes and kill people and goods. These peasant-born bandits could not bear to bully the poor people, and they had a natural fear of the official family.
This time, asking them to rob a prisoner who was about to be killed under the heavy protection of officers and soldiers was really a big thing for everyone, and everyone did not dare to be careless.
After making a decision, Ye Ying's first arrangement was to let Zhang Fu go down the mountain immediately, make a desperate look, and see off his son sadly when the time came.
Zhang Fu had seen the world, and his mind reacted quickly, and he immediately understood that this was to make the government relax its vigilance, so that the bandits in the village could act easily.
But at the same time, Zhang Fu was very worried, worried that the cottage would release his own pigeons, so he said that he would go down the mountain with everyone. Although Ye Ying repeatedly said that he would keep his promise, he was still a little relieved.
In the end, Qi Jiao, who had an impatient personality, became angry and stared at her eyes like copper bells, saying that Zhang Fu was no longer a mother-in-law, and the cottage didn't care about it.
