Chapter 65: Speculation

Xia Jingyun was like Xie Rouge who was blocked last night, and his thoughts were like springs.

If the object of Zheng Tianyu's vigilance is not himself, but the labor camp, because he has improved the efficiency of the labor camp and allowed the labor camp to repair the observation deck as soon as possible, which has had a significant impact, so he sent someone to investigate secretly.

The logic makes sense.

After learning about the situation, he may have been relieved.

In a blink of an eye, I saw myself again above the Wenhui, and out of some kind of mistake or further temptation, I named myself as an opponent, but I didn't expect to hit the iron plate.

But because he didn't have a serious conflict with his plan, he asked his men to kill Niu Er and interrupt the clue so as not to cause trouble.

But he didn't expect that he quickly caught Niu Er's widow, and pulled out the adulterer along the vine, so he ordered his subordinates to kill him again.

Then, after discovering that the county government had been prepared, there was no action after a blow failed.

This all shows that the latter two acts are just cautious actions not to cause unnecessary trouble.

This can also explain why Zheng Tianyu has not moved since then, and even when he left the city yesterday and passed through the wilderness, nothing happened.

Xia Jingyun sorted out his logic just now in his heart, and it made perfect sense!

So, is Zheng Tianyu's target really likely to be a labor camp?

Then the new question arises again, what is he trying to do?

Xia Jingyun looked at Xie Rouge, "I have to go out." ”

Xie Rouge looked at Xia Jingyun's face, and also knew the seriousness of the matter, so he nodded and said, "Son, go and get busy." ”

Xia Jingyun lowered his head and kissed her on the lips, "I'll come back to accompany you when I'm done." ”

"Childe is a big deal, so there is no need to worry about rouge."

It's not only close, but also intimate...... Xia Jingyun sighed with emotion, immediately got up, kicked on his boots, and rushed out of the yard.

The little maid slipped out, looking unhappy, "Miss, how could the son leave so early......

Xie Rouge smiled, "Gongzi is a person who has achieved great things, how can he be trapped in the love of his children, let's be a man, we must be content." ”

Xia Jingyun thought that he was about to solve the puzzle, his waist was no longer sore, his legs were no longer floating, and he went to ....... in one breath cough cough, went straight to Zhang Dazhi's yard.

Zhang Dazhi was flattered by his arrival, and hurriedly got up and beckoned his apprentice to make tea, "Oh, old ...... Xia Gongzi, why do you have time to come to my place. ”

Xia Jingyun sat down, and he didn't care about being polite, "Brother, let me ask you something, how is the situation in the labor camp now?" ”

Zhang Dazhi was stunned, he didn't expect Xia Jingyun to come for this matter, "All the work in the labor camp was stopped yesterday, and it was originally to be dismissed and escorted back to the counties." But now you also know that there is a shortage of manpower, and after consulting the above, it was decided to stay where you are, provide food and drink, and wait for the mother and her party to leave, and the county will free up their hands and then be dismissed. ”

Xia Jingyun subconsciously noticed that something was wrong, so many people, it was better to say that they were tired from working every day, they had good food and drink, and they were locked up like this, wouldn't it be easier for them to have accidents?

He asked hurriedly; "Who's asking for advice? Who gave the order? ”

Zhang Dazhi said: "This kind of thing naturally doesn't need to alarm Niangniang, a few of us first summed it up, and then this Zhao County Order went to consult his top boss, Jianning Taishou Zheng Yuanwang, Zheng Taishou personally set the arrangement." ”

!!! That's even more wrong!

But what can they do with these laborers?

Xia Jingyun touched his chin and groaned.

Looking at Xia Jingyun's appearance, Zhang Dazhi's heart also became nervous, "Brother, what's wrong?" ”

Xia Jingyun's identity is not what it used to be, if there is anything that annoys him, this is not something that ordinary people can afford.

"It's fine." Xia Jingyun let out a turbid breath, "Brother, if it's okay now, can you accompany me to the labor camp." ”

"Of course, you can!"

Xia Jingyun was in a hurry, so the two of them got up directly, took Zhang Dazhi's little apprentice, and the three of them went out of the courtyard.

After taking a few steps, Xia Jingyun said, "Let's go to Yunfu first and ask a few guards." ”

Zhang Dazhi was of course willing to show his face for this kind of opportunity, so the three of them walked towards Yunfu again.

Because of tomorrow's luncheon, the magnates of the entire Surabaya Prefecture will gather in Jiang'an City.

The closer you get to Yunfu, the higher the level of the powerful becomes.

But everyone reciprocated great kindness to Xia Jingyun and greeted him cordially.

Xia Jingyun didn't dare to slack off, and smiled all the way in return.

Zhang Dazhi followed Xia Jingyun all the way, and also took the opportunity to chat with these magnates a lot, and when he saw that there was no one, he sighed with emotion: "I'm a kiss, I'm afraid that a little famous person in the entire Surabaya Prefecture is here!" Thanks to the presence of no army, otherwise any bandit would break in and serve a pot, which must not break through the sky! ”

Xia Jingyun stopped abruptly, "What did you say?" ”

Zhang Dazhi was stunned, startled, and hurriedly waved his hand, "No, I didn't say anything!" ”

Xia Jingyun's face was anxious, "I'm not pursuing you, what did you just say?" ”

"I said, I'm afraid that the whole Surabaya Prefecture has a little famous person."

"Next sentence."

"Thanks to the presence of no dang army, otherwise any bandit would break in and serve a pot, which must not pierce the sky!"

The chaos in Xia Jingyun's mind was like being split by a bolt of lightning!

Powerful!

Zheng Tianyu's real target is not himself, nor Concubine De Niangniang, but the magnates of a state who gathered in this small Jiang'an City because of Concubine De Niangniang!

At the beginning, Zheng Yuanwang, who was a taishou, used the name of rushing the construction period for his mother, and punished him indiscriminately, and threw many innocent people into the labor camp with his family.

In the name of Concubine De's mother, such a move will not arouse any suspicion, everyone will only think that Zheng Yuanwang is doing everything to please Concubine De and hugging his black gauze hat, and secretly disdain a few words.

However, for these laborers, if they live well at home, they just make a small mistake, and they are sent to the house, and then the family dies without a place to be buried, and they are struggling to survive.

One person, what about hundreds, thousands?

Isn't this huge labor camp just a warehouse full of dry wood and fuel, just waiting for a spark to burst into a monstrous rage?

All this, the Zheng family is just secretly manipulating, and no one is aware of it at all.

This also answered a question that Xia Jingyun was very puzzled before: In the labor camp, why don't you treat people as human beings at all? Obviously, let everyone eat a little better and rest better, so that so many people don't have to die, and the construction period is faster, why do you have to do it so ruthlessly.

Because only in this way can the boundless anger of the workers against the court be aroused to the greatest extent.

It is precisely because of this that when he presented the improved pulley method of transporting soil, which had an impact on their plans, Zheng Tianyu would privately send someone to find out the details of himself.

What is prevented is the exposure of a conspiracy.

At the same time, Jiang'an City, as a large county, does have city walls, although it is very low, but it is not something that these unarmed laborers can fight.

But what if the guards also became their men?

Why did the county gentry strongly demand to go out of the city to suppress bandits that day?

It was the official who was killed by the thieves on the edge of the city, so the gentry in the city were afraid and ran to "force the palace".

But in fact, who killed the official errand?

was killed by Zheng Tianyu's guards.

Then, Zhao County ordered to forcibly ask Shi County Lieutenant to go out of the city to suppress the bandits, so Shi County Lieutenant died.

How did he die, and he died in the middle of the stream.

When did there ever be such a master among the bandits?

With such a master, why can these officers and soldiers run back in an organized manner, and kill only one of the county captains?

A large group of soldiers and horses went out of the city, and Lieutenant Shi was so unlucky, only he was hit by a stray arrow and died.

The most important thing is that the next day, Taishou Zheng Yuanwang sent a new county lieutenant to take office.

After the other party came, he operated, drilled the soldiers, and subdued the soldiers, and now won the praise and trust of Manxian County.

What if such a person opens the gates of the city at a critical moment?

Or even take the soldiers who have already been subdued by him to fight back?

This city full of magnates may protect themselves?

There are 6,000 no soldiers, 5,000 are already out to suppress bandits, and there are only 1,000 people locally!

If the other party takes advantage of the night to rush into the city, coerce people to respect themselves, and have no weapons to be a soldier and a rat trap, what if they can fight?

Xia Jingyun settled down, if his guess was true, if the other party really wanted to do it, it would only be tonight, because after tomorrow's luncheon, the magnates will go home separately, and there will be no chance.

And at this moment it was already afternoon, less than three hours.

Thinking of this, Xia Jingyun's back was completely wet with cold sweat.
