Chapter 124: Understanding the Deserted City

"Okay, then that's it, let Ye Shen give it a try."

Ye Lie said coldly, "As long as he moves, I will march in the name of helping to suppress the bandits." ”

"Your Majesty, the matter of the march, I'm afraid we need to wait."

The henchman said cautiously.

"Why?"

Hearing this, Ye Lie frowned slightly, with a hint of anger in his eyes.

The general who is his most confidant will be cowardly?

"Yes...... It's a question of military pay. ”

"It was reported a few days ago that some front-line troops are seriously ...... in arrears."

The henchman general's tone trembled a little.

"What the hell is going on?"

Ye Lie was furious, he would never treat the army badly, nor would he treat anyone who was a soldier.

How can there still be a serious problem of non-payment?

"This is what the minister found out."

"In recent days, the people near the border have not been living well."

The Minister of Intelligence lowered his head and whispered, "The Minister thought that a small group of enemies from the Southern Dynasty had come to harass him, so he investigated, who knows, who ......knows?"

"Rongchen Chacha! Please wait a moment, Your Majesty! ”

The confidant general knelt down and spoke.

"Well, find out, I need to know everything."

Ye Lie snorted coldly, and then spoke, "I believe that everyone here should have no share. ”

Everyone nodded.

No matter how elite the troops are, if they are seriously in arrears, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

Not to mention the situation of Chen Bing's millions.

A lot of people is a good thing, but a lot of people is not easy to manage.

As long as one side of the army collapses, the remaining soldiers will collapse one after another.

This is the case with the so-called defeat of the army.

"Let Ye Shen prepare more and give him some other resources."

Ye Lie slowly spoke, "After the investigation is over, recover the stolen money, reward the three armies, and cooperate with Ye Shen's action." ”

He let out a long sigh.

Such a problem would arise in their own army.

On the other side, Ye Yu was disguised and already looked like an indigenous guard.

Even if it is a person who has seen Ye Yu, it is difficult to recognize it at the first time.

They followed the route of the map all the way, starting from Xishan Prefecture to the deserted city.

Of course, when he went on the road, he had already brought all the muskets buried outside the city and hid them in the haystack of the carriage.

Halfway through, Ye Yu received a carrier pigeon.

Above is the latest order written by Cheng Wenyuan.

"After delivering this batch of goods, join the escort team in the deserted city, and the money will come out of the deserted city."

Ye Yu looked at the words on it and read it.

"It seems that the money is not only fainting, but also recruiting."

He smiled.

"According to the convoy just now, there are at least 1,000 people in forty convoys."

The henchman guard analyzed, "With so many people, is he trying to rebel?" ”

"Isn't that obvious?"

Ye Yu sat in the carriage and smiled, "Remember, you must be careful later." ”

He had already concluded that the so-called Zhou Fushang was Ye Shen and his gang.

Ye Shen had suffered the loss of his own indigenous guards in the palace, and he would be more careful with his "natives".

"Understood, we're not going to show our stuff."

The native guards all nodded.

Ye Yu was also a little curious, for such a long time, with these 40 million taels, what kind of team would Ye Shen gather.

After a few days of slow transportation, they were the last team to arrive in the deserted city.

"Stop, what are you doing?"

It was daytime, and even if they were wearing hoods, it was not difficult to tell that they were natives behind the deserted city.

"We are under the orders of the steward to deliver the goods."

Ye Yu stepped forward and deliberately made the tone of his words slightly strange.

As he spoke, he took out the token and the letter from his bosom, as well as the flying pigeon that was sent halfway.

"I'm sorry, you guys look a little strange, but I'm too careful."

The guard said, bowing his head in apologies, and quickly letting him go.

Entering the deserted city, Ye Yu saw that it was still quite desolate, but on the other side of the city, it was a lot more lively.

Transporting goods cannot stop them from eating.

They ordered a la carte at a nearby liquor store.

"How many masters, are you from the indigenous area?"

The shopkeeper stepped forward and spoke, smiling.

"Don't talk nonsense."

Ye Yu said, taking out Steward Cheng's token.

Since the patrol soldiers outside the deserted city can see this token, then the shopkeeper should also understand it.

"This ...... I'm sorry for the masters, but I didn't know that you were the guests of Steward Cheng. ”

"The little one will bring good wine and food."

The shopkeeper's eyes suddenly panicked, and he left immediately, taking the initiative to help order.

Soon, he quickly brought a variety of dishes.

"A few masters, this is the best dish in the shop, please use it slowly."

"You don't have to pay for this meal."

In a hurry, he added.

"Why don't you pay?"

Ye Yu asked, "The money still has to be given." ”

"If you have the heart to give money, it's naturally the best."

"If you don't give it, it's fine."

The shopkeeper said with a smile, "Steward Cheng is a great benefactor in the deserted city, and he doesn't need money to eat." ”

But Ye Yu couldn't see any respect from his seriousness, only fear.

It must be the previous delivery team that did something to the deserted city.

"Did anyone do anything to you before we came?"

Taking advantage of the constant noise outside, Ye Yu asked in a low voice.

"I didn't ...... No. ”

A smile appeared on the embarrassed face of the shopkeeper.

"Then why is it so lively up front?"

Ye Yu saw that the shopkeeper refused to say more, so he diverted the topic.

"This has only appeared since Lord Zhang came here a month or two ago."

Then the shopkeeper told Zhang Ye what he was doing in the deserted city like a few treasures.

Of course, this is Ye Yu's plan, and I also read Zhang Ye's secret letter before.

Now there are special business areas for the indigenous and deserted cities.

There are not many people in the deserted city, but there are a lot of merchants.

There was a lot of traffic, and they all came to do business with the natives.

If you can make money and develop together, the indigenous people will naturally not make trouble.

At the same time, people who can speak indigenous languages and those who can speak the languages of the Southern Dynasties are both popular.

"This master, let's talk to you, don't say it's a villain."

Seeing Ye Yu's gentle attitude and chatting so much, the shopkeeper slowly opened his heart.

"Don't worry, I just take the money to eat, and I don't have much friendship with Steward Cheng."

Ye Yu said coldly.

With such an attitude, the shopkeeper is even more outspoken.

As Ye Yu thought, the delivery convoys before him were quite rude, even if they called the local officers and soldiers, they were fine.

I heard that it was a group of princes and young masters from the capital who were supporting them.

Those princes and young masters are bullying men and women on weekdays, making the people in the deserted city very difficult.

"Hey, I don't know why the capital transferred Master Zhang back."

Hearing this, Ye Yu smiled coldly.

These younger brothers, even if they go to such a place, they don't forget to do evil!
