Section 432 Governing the situation

The middle-aged man was unhurried, and with a wave of his hand, the old servant standing on the side immediately understood, turned around and entered the room, and when he came out, he was already holding a large stack of account books in his hand. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"This is the account book of my salary over the years, and I have two adults to look at it. The middle-aged man said with a smile, and at the same time, the old servant held the account book in front of Liu Yu and Chen Li.

"Hmm. Chen Li snorted coldly, he took an account book from the old servant's hand and flipped through it, sometimes frowning, sometimes looking puzzled.

Liu Yu stood aside, smiling but not speaking. He didn't have the heart to look at the account book in the old servant's hand, but turned his head to scan the surroundings of the courtyard. His unusual behavior made the middle-aged man Nasven's face show a hint of nervousness, but it disappeared in an instant.

After about half a cup of tea, Chen Li raised his head and stared at the middle-aged man Na Siwen: "Lord Thorn Shi, according to this account book, your salary is only six hundred taels of silver a year, how can you save so much money?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said: "This lord, you may have not calculated the accounts clearly because of the rush of time, it is better for you to calculate it again, and it is not known that you may be able to calculate the origin of these belongings of this official." ”

"Don't forget it, I'll arrest you right now and let the Criminal Department ask you for your crimes!" Chen Li said angrily.

He pulled out the sword at his waist and walked towards the middle-aged man. In his opinion, it is simply effortless to take down such powerless civil officials.

Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man was not nervous at all, and seemed very calm. I saw him make a move, and the family guarding the gate of the courtyard got the code, and then opened the courtyard door. Hundreds of soldiers rushed in from outside the courtyard with swords and surrounded Liu Yu and Chen Li.

Only then did Chen Li understand that the middle-aged man of Sven let himself check the account books was just a delaying tactic. He knew that he had been fooled, and said angrily: "Traitor, see that I have to take you!"

He rushed forward, wanting to "capture the thief and capture the king first", as long as he took this middle-aged man, these soldiers and horses would not be afraid.

"Take down these two traitors for me, and whoever can take their heads will be rewarded!" shouted the young man Sven.

As soon as Chen Li's feet moved, those soldiers were already stabbing at him with knives. His martial arts skills were not weak, first he swung his Xuandao, cut the two short knives that pierced him, and then took the opportunity to cut down a soldier who was close by.

How could it be that these close soldiers of the Assassin's Mansion were very brave, he killed several people in a row, but these soldiers still fought and did not retreat, and the two sides fell into a stalemate.

Seeing Chen Li's superb martial arts, the middle-aged man suddenly became anxious, "Kill, kill them, whoever can kill these two people, the official will have a reward of one hundred taels!"

Some soldiers saw that Chen Li was brave and it was difficult to capture him in a hurry, so he put his mind on Liu Yu, who had been standing silently aside. Dozens of people rushed towards Liu Yu with their knives, all aiming their blades at his neck.

Liu Yu smiled faintly, and as soon as he leaned into the palm of the Stacked Waves, a powerful wave of qi emanated from his body, rushing all these soldiers into the air, falling towards the periphery, and falling to the ground.

He rushed towards the middle-aged man, his right palm spread like a dustpan, covering the man's upper three roads.

Seeing that he was so powerful, the middle-aged man suddenly panicked and shouted, "Come quickly, protect this official!"

Before he could finish speaking, he turned and fled into the house. There is a small door at the back of the house, and if it goes well, people can still escape from the Assassin's Mansion without noticing.

Liu Yu waved his palms together, shaking away the dozens of soldiers who rushed forward to block the way. His figure flashed, and he was already stopped in front of the middle-aged man, "Your Excellency, let's spend less time and stay obediently!"

He stretched out his hand and grabbed the neck of the middle-aged man, like a hunter on the grassland who caught a hyena, and shouted to the soldiers who were staring around: "Put down your blades and exit the courtyard, otherwise I will kill him!"

Seeing this, hundreds of soldiers looked at each other, not knowing what to do, and refused to retreat. He then added another force to his hand, and pinched the middle-aged man's cervical spine clicking, "Retreat, or not retreat!?"

The middle-aged man was in pain and fear, and his intuition was about to break, so he was so frightened that he had no master, and cried: "What are you waiting for, get out, get out, whoever doesn't get out, I'll cut off his head!"

After listening to the order, the soldiers retreated outside the courtyard like a tide, and although dozens of servants and maids of the Assassin's Mansion remained in the courtyard, they were like trembling cicadas at this time, and they did not dare to move rashly. A few timid maids were already crying, wondering what would happen to this assassin's mansion tonight, and what their fate would be.

Seeing that there was no way to escape, the middle-aged man begged with a sad face: "Two adults, the lower official is wrong, and the lower official is Zhang Wenzheng, the assassin of Yongzhou Mansion." These goods belong to you, and I only ask you to spare my official's life, and don't send me to the criminal department. Besides, the war in Yongzhou City is far from over, and if the defenders in the city are gone, they will all have no masters. I'm afraid that in three or five days, this city will belong to the Yellow Nest traitors. ”

Chen Li stepped over the corpse of a soldier, stepped forward and grabbed the collar of the assassin Zhang Wenzheng, and slapped two big slaps. Zhang Wenzheng's white and tender face suddenly became blood-red, and his cheeks were swollen by more than half an inch.

"Traitor, at this time, you only remember to beg Lao Tzu for mercy, what did you do last year!" Chen Li said angrily, he raised his hand to continue slapping him.

"Lord Chen, don't fight yet, let me ask Zhang Tingshi a few words first. Liu Yu stretched out his hand to stop him.

"Your Excellency, just ask. Zhang Wenzheng behaved very docile under fear.

"How many troops are there in the city?" asked Liu Yu.

"Back to my lord, plus injuries, there are more than 50,000 people. Among them were 2,000 cavalry, 48,000 infantry, and 5,000 archers. Zhang Wenzheng replied honestly.

He wondered why these two big internal guards didn't do their jobs, but cared about the war.

"Fifty thousand. Liu Yu frowned after hearing this, and with the scene he saw when he entered the city, the righteous soldiers under Zhu Wen also had 200,000.

He sighed deeply, and made up his mind in his mind. He put his five fingers on Zhang Wenzheng's body to connect points, Zhang Wenzheng suddenly felt paralysis of his hands and feet and couldn't move, and only one mouth was left to move.

"Adults spare your life!" Zhang Wenzheng was extremely frightened, his mind was blank, and he couldn't think of more fancy words to beg for mercy.

"I won't kill you, you just need to follow my orders to dispatch the soldiers and horses on the city wall. Liu Yu said with a smile, he glanced around at the courtyard full of gold and silver treasures, including gold ingots and silver nuggets, as well as Dongzhu jade, "There will be brave men under the heavy reward, Zhang Tingshi, these treasures of yours will be left as military salaries." With these supplies, it will not be a problem for the men and horses in the city to hold on for a while. ”

"This ...... My lord!" Zhang Wenzheng listened to Liu Yu's words, as if he had been scorched by thunder.

At the beginning, he was just an ordinary idle official in the capital, and in order to obtain the fat difference of this thorn history, he did not hesitate to pawn the ancestral house of his family, and gave 30,000 or 40,000 silver taels to Tian's father-in-law. Only then did Gonggong Tian nod and allow him to do this errand for the assassination history of Yongzhou City.

Since he took office, he has spent all his efforts to loot money, first putting his ideas on the treasury, tampering with the accounts, and insisting on turning the treasury materials worth more than two million taels of silver into his own property. Then he set up a clever name, regardless of the lives of the people, increased the taxes of the state, and after several years of clever looting, he had these considerable furniture today.

He saw that Zhu Wen led a large army to attack the city, and he did not have the talent of a general, thinking that the fall of Yongzhou City was only a matter of time, so he planned to escape from Yongzhou City with the belongings he had accumulated over the past few years, and return to Chang'an to live a happy life of fine clothes and food. I never thought that I was unlucky, but I actually killed Liu Yu and Chen Li, the two evil stars, in the middle of the night, not only beating and scolding him, but also taking away all his belongings.

He felt the world spinning, and the sorrow in his chest felt that the hard work of the past few years had turned into a wasted water, and cried: "Two adults, it is not easy for me to save these belongings, how about you leave me a little?"
