Chapter 4: Threats!
"Hmph, it's that damn Zhou Chaozheng again."
After hearing Zhou Chaozheng's three big words, Zheng Yun snorted coldly, this year has been surviving in southern Yunnan, and the biggest trouble is Zhou Chaozheng, the governor of southern Yunnan!
Zhou Chaozheng has always been greedy for Zheng Yun's beauty, as well as the wealth brought by the Marquis of Yundian from the capital, and every time after a while, he will collect disaster grain in his name to relieve the victims, which seems to be doing a good deed, but in fact, these grains and grass are all in Zhou Chaozheng's pocket!
"You are here to appease the fifth princess, I want to go out to do something, you don't want to make trouble!"
told Qianfeng to be optimistic about the fifth princess, Zheng Yun put on a light veil as thin as a cicada's wings and walked out quickly.
As soon as Qianfeng heard Zheng Yun speak to him in an undoubted tone, he murmured as if complaining: "I don't like to be arranged to do things the most, uncle, you still haven't remembered my words." ”
Let's say it, Qianfeng glanced at the fifth princess who was trembling on the bed, and he said bluntly: "You heard the conversation between Benhou and Uncle just now, right?" ”
Zhao Ying'er nodded slightly, but then shook her head again: "I didn't hear it, I didn't hear anything." ”
"What Ben Hou and his uncle said just now, outsiders will lose their heads when they hear it."
Qianfeng grinned, as soon as these words came out, even Zhao Ying'er, who was holding the mattress, couldn't help but shudder!
"Qianfeng, you...... What do you mean? ”
Zhao Ying'er hesitated for a moment, and asked in fear.
"Now there are two choices in front of you, one is to stay in the Yundian Marquis Mansion willingly, and I can protect you."
"What about the other one?"
"The other is that on the way back to Beijing, I encountered a group of water bandits and died unexpectedly!"
The two choices are actually threats, none of which Zhao Yinger can be willing to accept!
"Give you half a day to think, don't think about escaping, this is not the capital, even if there is Jin Wuwei protection, the bandits and bandits here can capture you together, and then the men will be cut into pieces, and the women will ......"
"What the hell?"
"Toying to death!"
Qianfeng's eyes exuded madness, and Qianfeng's threat made Zhao Ying'er afraid!
As early as when she came to the land of southern Yunnan, Zhao Yinger encountered several groups of water bandits on the way, and brought hundreds of Jinwu guards, but in the end there were less than 50 left, which shows that this road is dangerous!
After threatening Zhao Ying'er, Qianfeng got up and walked outside.
restrained Zhao Ying'er first, as for her uncle Zheng Yun...... Qianfeng couldn't help but lick the corners of his slightly dry lips!
……
Outside the mansion of the Marquis of Yundian.
As far as the eye can see, hundreds of people dressed in official clothes are standing outside the gate of the Hou Mansion, crowded with people, and the confrontation between the two sides is about to break out!
As the door opened, the graceful Zheng Yun walked out with his subordinates.
The head of the government is a man with a slender goatee, prominent cheekbones on both sides of his cheeks, a thin chin, and a thin body, about thirty or forty years old!
He is the master Luo Zhengyan under Zhou Chaozheng, the governor of southern Yunnan, don't look at him without an official title, but in southern Yunnan he is famous for his ruthless plucking of geese!
It is precisely because Luo Zhengyan was able to collect the taxes, silver, grain and grass paid to the court every year on time, and he always thought that he had won the heavy responsibility of the Zhou Dynasty.
Seeing the arrival of the county lord of Houfu, Luo Zhengyan saluted: "Luo Zhengyan greets the county lord." ”
"Luo Zhengyan, the Hou Mansion has borrowed 3,000 stone fine grain from southern Yunnan half a month ago, what do you mean by bringing people here today?"
Staring at Luo Zhengyan deadly, Zheng Yun asked in an unkind tone.
"County Lord, this year, the bandits in southern Yunnan are serious, and there are many victims, three thousand stones of grain and grass can only solve the urgent need, but the fundamental problem is not eliminated, Lord Zhou is difficult to sleep and eat, and the villain is specially ordered to ask for food."
seems to be asking for food, but in fact it is forcing the Hou Mansion to hand over grain, and in the area of extortion, Luo Zhengyan is not subtle at all.
"What does the problem of your Yunnan Mansion have to do with my Yundian Marquis Mansion, how many times have you been here this month, and how much food have you asked for!"
Zheng Yun said coldly, even if Luo Zhengyan mentioned Governor Zhou Chaozheng, she didn't give any affection!
Since last month, Zhou Chaozheng has sent people to ask for grain and grass, and Zheng Yun when he first arrived in order to have a good relationship with him, he reluctantly donated a thousand stone of grain, but what he got was not a friendly relationship, but an intensified and unscrupulous request!
Hearing Zheng Yun's cold answer, Luo Zhengyan's face sank, and he snorted coldly: "County Lord, the situation in southern Yunnan is urgent, and the villain is forced to come to borrow grain. The villain can guarantee that the end of the bandits' grain borrowing one and repaying two can be proved by a written note! ”
"What if I don't say yes?"
Zheng Yun rolled her eyes, not believing it at all.
This bandit plague in southern Yunnan has been happening since 10 years ago, and how can it be solved with just this little bit of food, a feat that has not been accomplished by the previous governors?
"If the county lord doesn't agree, the villain can only ......"
Without waiting for Luo Zhengyan to finish speaking, with a slight gesture of raising his hand, hundreds of government soldiers armed with knives and guns behind him aimed their weapons at the people of the Hou Mansion!
"What do you want to do!"
The Hou Mansion suddenly became nervous, and clenched the sticks and axes in his hands!
In an instant, the two sides are tense!
Luo Zhengyan squinted, and after seeing Zheng Yun, whose face changed slightly, a smug smile rose at the corner of his mouth.
As the saying goes, a strong dragon does not crush the head snake.
Even if Zheng Yun has a noble status, it is useless to come to remote southern Yunnan, where big fists are the last word!
Luo Zhengyan dared to threaten Zheng Yun like this, because of Zhou Chaozheng's instructions!
Zheng Yun's face was so gloomy that she was about to drip water, and without saying a word, she stared at the government soldiers.
"County Lord, please send someone to prepare the food quickly, the adults are still waiting for the good news of the villain."
Seeing that Zheng Yun didn't speak, Luo Zhengyan gave up his hand, and his tone of voice became even more unscrupulous.
"Luo Zhengyan, do you think this is the granary of Yunnan Mansion, just take it?"
Zheng Yun suppressed the anger in her heart and scolded.
In the face of the huge gap in manpower, Zheng Yun did not let her eyebrows go.
"What is the county lord, the villain is also here by order, if the county lord can't be the master, then how about asking the Hou Ye to come out and discuss?"
Luo Zhengyan said abruptly and insidiously.
Who doesn't know that Yun Dian Hou is a silly boy with brain disease, what can he discuss if he is called out?
At that time, the grain of the Marquis of Yundian Mansion will not be taken by himself if he wants!
"Since the county lord doesn't say it, forgive the villain for being rude."
Seeing that the two sides were deadlocked, Luo Zhengyan lost patience and roared loudly: "Come on, enter the Hou Mansion to move food!" ”
"I see who dares to step into the Hou Mansion for half a step!"
At this moment, Qianfeng, dressed in green clothes, walked out of the Hou Mansion with steps.
