Chapter 249: A Private Interview with Weifu (Part I)
Huang Zhong also reported to the above for this reason, and participated in the other party's book, which caused Shi Wengong's salary to be deducted for a year. At the same time, it also lost the supreme command of this expeditionary army.
You must know that at the beginning, the supreme commanders of this army were Huang Zhong and Shi Wengong, because one of them had a stable personality and a high command ability, and they helped him pull out an army of more than 100,000 in the Three Kingdoms World, and the other force value was basically the best in the Blue Dragon Empire, and he followed Ye Tianlong early enough, and his qualifications were old enough. If it were someone else, facing Shi Wengong, the oldest general in the Qinglong Empire, it would be estimated that this trivial matter of killing prisoners would directly help cover up the past, but it would be too much of a pursuit.
But Huang Zhong is such a person who can't tolerate sand in his eyes, one is one, two is two, even Shi Wengong, the founding general of the Blue Dragon Empire, can't get any preferential treatment from him.
At this time, Huang Zhong found that the other party was likely to start killing prisoners again, and his eyes immediately became serious when he looked at Shi Wengong, and he wanted to talk to this guy again, so that he would not be allowed to kill prisoners at will in the future.
But at this time, Liu Bei quietly tugged at his cuffs, Huang Zhong turned his head to see Liu Bei who was shaking his head at him slightly, and immediately remembered what the other party had said to him a few days ago.
Liu Bei told him that this Shi Wengong is old, has great merit, and has a very good relationship with the emperor of the Qinglong Empire, and the most important thing is that Shi Wengong only killed some Hu people, so even if Huang Zhong reported this matter to Ye Tianlong last time, the other party just deducted Shi Wengong's salary for a year without any pain, which proves that His Majesty the Emperor should not care much about this. Otherwise, the punishment would not have been so light. You must know that there was an officer who secretly sold tobacco in the army before, and the result was such a trivial matter, after being discovered, he directly wiped out the rank and title of the officer, and then expelled from the army!
Therefore, if His Majesty the Emperor really felt that Shi Wengong had done something wrong, then the punishment would definitely not be so light, at least the other party's first-class title or military rank would have to be cut.
Now if Huang Zhong continues to report such trivial matters, not to mention whether he can cause any substantial harm to Shi Wengong, just talking about Shi Wengong's side, Huang Zhong will be completely offended to death.
In the future, Shi Wengong will definitely find ways to retaliate, these revenges Huang Zhong, as a general with a similar status as Shi Wengong, may be able to bear it, but others don't have the ability. And since their group is from the Three Kingdoms World, Shi Wengong must see them as a group, and when the other party retaliates, he will definitely accidentally injure many soldiers and officers from the Three Kingdoms World.
As soon as Huang Zhong thought of this, he turned his head to look at Shi Wengong who had a fearless face, and in the end, he could only treat this matter as if he hadn't found out.
And when Huang Zhong and their expedition passed, Ye Tianlong was not idle, he took 10,000 soldiers and horses, and was inspecting all parts of the country, especially those areas that had just been subdued, Ye Tianlong was extremely careful, and wiped out a lot of bandits and rebels along the way.
In the process of inspection, in addition to these bandits and rebels, what made Ye Tianlong even more depressed was the lazy government of those officials, perhaps because they were used to being uncles in the Great Song Dynasty before, these guys are now officials of the Qinglong Empire, and they are still high-ranking officials.
In this way, these officials can take advantage of the opportunity to distort the above policies in various ways, and make a bunch of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes.
After getting the money, these officials gave the money to the local military and political leaders, and when they got the benefits, they naturally turned a blind eye and closed one eye.
Ye Tianlong has a zero-tolerance attitude towards these corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and he has found and dealt with them one by one, maybe he can't get rid of all the corrupt officials, but at least when he is still in power, those corrupt officials and corrupt officials will have to shrink their tails and be people, and they can't take it for granted that they are lazy to make money, and they must be careful to be discovered by him at all times.
For those officials and officials of the former Song Dynasty, Ye Tianlong didn't feel much about it, but some of the old people who had followed him for a long time actually began to join the same stream, and Ye Tianlong felt very heartbroken while dealing with it.
On this day, after Ye Tianlong received some information from Shi Qian and Ye Da, he decided to break away from the army first and go to Hangzhou City for a private visit in advance.
Now Shi Qian and Bai Ye Da are both in charge of an intelligence agency, among which the intelligence agency controlled by Shi Qian also includes the military organization of the War Cat Special Combat Team, which is mainly external, in addition to spying on intelligence, sometimes it must also be responsible for some tasks of sabotage and assassination of the enemy's high-level in the local territory.
The secret guard organization controlled by Bai Sheng is mainly responsible for probing domestic intelligence, supervising those officials and generals in the country, and investigating those spies sent by the enemy. At this time, the information sent to him by Shi Qian and Bai Sheng showed that Bai Mulin, the prefect of Hangzhou, seemed to have extremely serious corruption and abuse of power.
This Bai Mulin is also the first group of old people to follow him, at the beginning, this guy was just a small accountant, responsible for helping Ye Tianlong manage the accounts, and his work can be regarded as a reserved business, so Ye Tianlong also promoted him all the way to the current prefect, and he himself has the title of earl.
It stands to reason that Ye Tianlong is also good for him, and the current Bai Mulin is definitely famous, but some people just can't restrain their greed, and they want to make another dollar when they have a dollar.
In order to find out whether these things are true, Ye Tianlong is ready to conduct a private interview with Weifu, after all, Bai Mulin, this kid is very clever, if he slowly rushes over with the army, the other party will definitely restrain himself immediately when he hears that he is coming, and those incriminating evidence should also be destroyed by him, even if it is investigated, I am afraid that there will not be many problems.
Soon, Ye Tianlong completed the disguise for himself, only to see that the complexion on his face had become darker, and at the same time, there was a large gray beard on his face, and the clothes he was wearing were also changed to the kind of coarse cloth clothes worn by ordinary people, and there were even a few patches on them.
In the end, Ye Tianlong used the bone shrinking technique in a martial arts technique he had learned before, and quickly adjusted his body shape, which suddenly made him change from a strong man who was originally more than two meters tall to an old man who was about one meter seven tall and had a somewhat hunched back.
And beside him, Liu Shiyu had already changed into a fairly clean coarse cloth clothes, and also adjusted his body and mind, blackened his face, and dressed himself up as an ordinary country girl, pretending to be Ye Tianlong's granddaughter.
I have to say that Liu Shiyu is worthy of being a big star who has been an actor before, and her acting skills are much stronger than Ye Tianlong, even if she is in her thirties at this time, it is very natural to play a teenage girl, unlike Ye Tianlong, if you are not careful, you will walk too fast, not at all like the skills and strength that an elderly person should have.
In the end, it was Liu Shiyu who pointed him out, so that Ye Tianlong could barely play the image of this old man.
Then the two of them began to rush towards Hangzhou City, most of the time it was Ye Tianlong who took Liu Shiyu to hurry, after all, Liu Shiyu's martial arts talent is not very good, even if he has worked hard to cultivate, now he only has the strength to cultivate.
Unlike Ye Tianlong, who now has an innate fourfold cultivation purpose, he uses light skills to hurry, even if he runs for a few days and nights in a row, he will not exhaust his true qi.
After rushing to the vicinity of Hangzhou City, Ye Tianlong stopped, and then after tidying up his makeup with Liu Shiyu a little to ensure that there was no problem, he found an opportunity to merge into the flow of people and walked towards Hangzhou City.
At this time, it was only eight o'clock in the morning, and many people lined up at the city gate to enter the city, Ye Tianlong noticed that those who entered the city needed to pay the city entrance fee at the city gate, especially those who carried goods, the more goods they carried, the higher the value, and the more they had to pay the entrance fee. And Ye Tianlong, whether he is on the Calradia Continent or the Water Margin World, has never made such a thing as an entrance fee, so this is probably one of the ways that Bai Mulin made money.
Soon, it was the turn of Ye Tianlong and Liu Shiyu in the team, and the militia guarding the city glanced at Ye Tianlong and Liu Shiyu, and saw that the two were not carrying any luggage and goods, so they said to the two: "The entrance fee is one copper plate per person!" If you want to enter the city, hurry up and pay the money! ”
After Ye Tianlong coughed twice, he took out two copper coins from his arms and handed them to the soldiers guarding the city, and then was helped by Liu Shiyu and slowly walked into Hangzhou City.
Due to the paper money such as Jiaozi that the Song Kingdom had done in the past, but in the end it was over-issued and indiscriminately issued, resulting in the general loss of trust in the paper money by the public, so Ye Tianlong did not directly implement the paper money now, but continued to use metal money first.
The most used among the people are naturally copper coins and silver coins, and as for gold coins, due to their high value, they are generally only in the hands of those big businessmen and high-ranking officials.
As for this part of the gold coins, Ye Tianlong suspects that they have been collected by those powerful people, and he has no idea of putting them into market circulation at all, because he has minted several batches of gold coins with those gold mines dug up from the Wa Kingdom, but every time a batch is issued to the market, it will be quickly snapped up, and then no one will flow into the people, which makes Ye Tianlong very distressed, after all, in the long run, he can't withstand even if he has more gold coins! Recently, he has been trying to find a way to stimulate consumption on those powerful people, so that these guys can spit out some of the money in their hands.
And just when Ye Tianlong was thinking about how to stimulate consumption next, a sound of horses' hooves suddenly came into his ears, he looked up, and just saw a young man with a dozen healthy servants, riding a tall horse galloping on the street,
The people on the street obviously knew this guy, so they all avoided it when they saw this, only the old man played by Ye Tianlong, as if he was scared stupid, stood in the middle of the road and didn't move.
But when the young man saw this, he didn't mean to slow down the horse to avoid Ye Tianlong, but instead showed a sickly smile on his face, and then continued to speed up the horse, and crashed straight into Ye Tianlong.
Liu Shiyu on the side was also full of acting skills at this time, and with tears in her eyes, she stretched out her hand to Ye Tianlong and shouted: "Grandpa, hide!" ”
However, Ye Tianlong is playing an old man who is weak and frail at this time, and his legs and feet are already a little inconvenient, how can he react so quickly to dodge!
So in the end, he was hit by the tall horse, and then his body flew seven or eight meters away at once, and he fell heavily to the ground, and there was a loud sound of bone breaking on the spot.
When they looked closely, they saw that his left arm was bent unnaturally, most likely by a horse.
In the face of this scene, not only did the young man not have the slightest look of regret on his face, but laughed wildly and continued to ride his horse towards Ye Tianlong, who fell to the ground, as if he wanted the war horse to completely trample Ye Tianlong to death.
Liu Shiyu finally arrived in time at this time, blocked in front of Ye Tianlong, and shouted at the young man: "You are not allowed to hurt my grandfather!" ”
When the young man saw someone standing in front of him, he wanted to continue to rush over regardless of it, but he inadvertently took a look and found that although this little girl had a little dark skin, her eyebrows and eyes were extremely handsome. And his dad said that this cultivation game is very interesting!
Thinking of this, the young man hurriedly pulled the reins, stopped the horses that sat down, and then waved his hand to the group of servants behind him and ordered: "Arrest this little girl for me!" That old man beat me to death with a stick! ”
After hearing the order of their young master, the group of healthy servants immediately rushed up, two of them grabbed Liu Shiyu left and right, and the rest of them surrounded Ye Tianlong with wooden sticks, all with hideous smiles on their faces, it seemed that this group of guys was not the first time to do this kind of thing, and they had no fear of human life at all.
Ye Tianlong didn't expect that this Green Dragon Empire had only been established for more than a year, and this kind of thing could actually happen, and in anger, he immediately hid his right hand under him, and used the cover of his clothes to connect the dots with these servants in the air.
Suddenly, as if he had been hit by a pistol, the servant suddenly burst into bloody holes in his body, and then fell down screaming.
And the young man who was the culprit did not escape, Ye Tianlong's finger was directly aimed at his crotch, and after hearing a miserable scream, the young man fell off the horse with the two eggs that had been completely exploded under his crotch.
