Chapter 195: The Second Son's Man
Everyone watched as Zhao Wuyang stabbed the dagger.
The middle-aged man suddenly felt a chill in the crotch of his pants, and his heart suddenly sank completely, and he couldn't stop wailing in his heart, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's completely over.
With such a knife, he can only enter the palace as a eunuch next, and it is impossible to find a woman from generation to generation.
"Ah......h
A terrible howl rang out.
The middle-aged man hugged his crotch and screamed there.
But just when his hand was stretched out, there was suddenly a burst of ecstasy in his heart, and he buried his head in disbelief, and looked carefully and groped.
"It's not gone, it's still there!"
"The baby is still here, but it scared me to death, I thought it was ......"
The middle-aged man seemed to have walked around the ghost gate, and a cold sweat on his body suddenly disappeared without a trace.
It turned out that the reason why he felt a cold place in his lower body just now was because he was so scared that he peed his crotch, so he felt like this.
Now his things are still here, and they have not been cut off by Zhao Wuyang, which also makes him breathe a long sigh of relief.
After a sense of happiness passed, the middle-aged man raised his head and looked at Zhao Wuyang.
His eyes were full of aftermath, and he didn't know why this man would spare himself so much, originally he thought that this time he was completely finished.
Zhao Wuyang picked up the dagger in his hand and looked at it, his face was full of apology.
I saw him grinning loudly, embarrassed to say to the middle-aged man.
"I'm really sorry, I didn't aim just now, and I didn't pay attention to the stab, don't worry, I will definitely start carefully next, and there will definitely be no more accidents."
Zhao Wuyang said as he held down the middle-aged man again, raised the dagger and prepared to stab down again.
Just now, the middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could finish his breath, the other party actually said that he had made a mistake just now, which made this middle-aged man experience the two heavens of ice and fire in an instant.
The back and forth fright, the happy toss, made the middle-aged man collapse directly.
He covered his crotch, knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Zhao Wuyang, and shouted loudly.
"A good man spares his life, a good man spares his life!"
"Don't toss me, I'll say everything you want to know, no matter what you ask, as long as I know it, I won't hide a word."
The middle-aged man is completely unbearable now.
If Lily Soso had eliminated him with a single sword, he might still be able to withstand it without blinking his eyes.
But now the man in front of him is tossing back and forth with himself, and he has no power to fight back at all, and the defense line in his heart has already been defeated by the other party, and he has no courage to be tough with the other party.
After all, in his heart, he had already tacitly acquiesced that others were going to spare him, and as a result, he would definitely not be able to stand it if he attacked him again.
Seeing that the middle-aged man had softened, Zhao Wuyang put away the dagger in his hand.
However, he did not leave, still holding the dagger, and from time to time he aimed at the key point of the middle-aged man.
Zhou Yang also left at this time, came over to look at the middle-aged man in front of him, and said coldly.
"Who told you to do this? What is the purpose of this? ”
Hearing Zhou Yang's question, this middle-aged man didn't have the confidence just now to carry it again, so he could only open his mouth obediently and discount.
"We are the subordinates of the second son, Zhao Huan, and we are the private soldiers he secretly raised."
"During this time, the silver in the hands of the second prince was tight, so our food and salary have been in arrears, in order to allow us to maintain, so the second prince asked us to find a remote village, slaughter the village, and grab the grain and silver in the village."
Hearing what this middle-aged man said, Zhou Yang was stunned for a moment.
Just now he already knew that these people must be people in the army, but he didn't expect that they were the private soldiers raised by Zhao Huan's subordinates.
Although raising private soldiers is highly forbidden in any feudal country, this kind of thing is forbidden on the surface, but secretly there are still many big families who are privately raising their own armies.
Most of the large families keep their armies private just to keep their family property safe.
But a person from the royal family like Zhao Huan also does this, then there is only one purpose, this guy must be ready to seize power by force.
Otherwise, how could he raise the army privately, could it be that he was idle and had nothing to raise and play?
You must know that if you raise an army, the cost is not a small amount, not to mention anything else, just the two hundred people in Zhou Yang's hands.
Every month, you need two thousand taels of silver, which is only silver, and if you count the weapons and armor of the army, as well as the daily expenses of war horses, it will cost six or seven thousand taels of silver.
You must know that this six or seven thousand taels a month is not a small amount, especially in a border country like Qin, the people themselves are relatively poor, even if it is the royal family, compared to other feudal countries, they are a little poorer.
As the son of the royal family, Zhao Huan is definitely not short of silver, but this is only limited to his daily expenses.
If he raised the army by himself, this expenditure would have to account for the lion's share, and the silver grain he received from the Wang family on weekdays would definitely not be enough, even if he added corruption and bribery, he was definitely very nervous.
"How many of you are there?"
Zhou Yang continued to ask, now that these people are forced to slaughter the village, they can ensure the maintenance of their army, and there must be a small number of people.
When the middle-aged man heard Zhou Yang's question, he could only continue to answer in a trembling voice.
"As far as the little one knows, there are more than a thousand people in total, and this is just a part of it!"
"There should be some of them in other places, but we don't know the specific situation, but there are more than 1,000 people raised by the second son in the mountains near here."
For the middle-aged man's answer, Zhou Yang was also shocked in his heart.
He didn't expect that Zhao Huan would have thousands of troops, according to this calculation, even if the treatment of these soldiers and horses was very poor, he would have to spend at least sixty or seventy thousand taels of silver every month.
With so much silver, Zhao Huan naturally couldn't take it out, and it was no wonder that he would let these people under him wake up to these bad things.
"Phew!"
"Where is the army raised, it is clearly a group of bandits!"
Liu Qian'er couldn't help but scold in a low voice beside her.
With so many people under his hands, he just survived by robbing the people in the nearby villages.
