Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 146
The officials of the Ming Dynasty have always been extremely enthusiastic about things that are popular with the public, such as fighting in the nest, even Mr. Zhang Tong, who still has a lot of integrity, is no exception. Hurry to the prisoner camp, ready to find evidence to punish people.There is no way, civil servants often fight to the death, civil and military... let alone, once military commanders let the civil servants find their faults, they must be punished to the death!

Yang Menglong crossed his legs and looked at the empty living room and laughed. It's not bad. They were all gone and no one had a chance to eat!Just as she was enjoying herself, Xiao Yufang walked out and was a little surprised to see Yang Menglong alone in the living room: "Where are the people? Where have they gone?"

Yang Menglong said: "They all ran away!"

Xiao Yufang said: "Really, I ran away without even eating!"

Yang Menglong chuckled: "It's best if you run away. I'm the most tired of having to wait for food... By the way, has the chicken soup been cooked? I'm almost starving to death!"

Xiao Yufang rolled his eyes at him: "Alright, alright, I'll be right there!" She turned around and went back to the kitchen to continue her work.With little effort, a few old servants brought out the meals one by one, including scrambled eggs with tomatoes, fried vegetables, sweet and sour fish, and chicken soup. It wasn't very rich, but everything was delicious in color, flavor and taste.An Ning, Xiao Jun, and Qi Polu also came back, washed their hands consciously, and then sat down.Liu Ziyan also came in shyly, found a seat unceremoniously, and sat next to Xiao Yufang, I have been teaching in your school for free, isn't it natural for you to provide me with food and lodging?So she ate this meal confidently...Of course, Yang Menglong snatched the most delicious dishes and put them into Xiao Yufang's bowl, piled them up into a small mountain, and then began to sweep the fallen leaves by the autumn wind, It was windy.You have to be quick to eat with him, or you'll just have to lick the plate.

He is righteous and confident, but some people have a guilty conscience.

The news of Wuyangwei breaking the bandits seemed to have grown wings, and it spread all over Nanyang in the blink of an eye. Overnight, everyone knew that there were guys in Wuyang County who were very capable of fighting. With only 1000 people, they killed 4000 in one battle. Many bandits were wiped out!People who have long been fed up with the boring daily life are as if they have been beaten with chicken blood. In the streets and alleys, under the banyan and locust trees, in restaurants and teahouses, people everywhere are talking about this fierce battle and Wuyang Wei. The unreliable but very capable General Yang, all kinds of jokes disappeared, and the more they spread, the more outrageous they became.Soon, the number of bandits wiped out by Wuyang Guard increased from [-] to [-], or even [-], and Yang Menglong also changed from a baby-faced boy with a big nerve to a monster with a height of eight feet. The storyteller only took two hours So he made up the story of "Wuyang Army fought bloody on the banks of the Shahe River, and Yang Menglong cut across the mountain ridge": "... a hundred thousand grass bandits came all over the mountains and plains, the torches were dense like stars, people shouted horses, and you couldn't see the end in the east and the end in the west. A thousand officers and soldiers lined up majestically, and the grass bandits laughed when they saw that there were few officers and soldiers, thinking that they could wipe them all out with one blow! Just as they were proud, a general rushed out from the formation of officers and soldiers. He was eight feet tall, with eyes or bronze bells, The nose is like a mountain beam, the arms are as thick as the waist of an ordinary person, and the voice is like thunder, shouting loudly: "I am Yang Menglong, the commander of the Wuyang Guard! Brave rat, dare to fight me!"" Not to mention, this passage is still very popular Yes, the venue is full.Other storytellers were not to be outdone, and turned out Yang Menglong's deeds in Dingxing's bloody battle to become a slave and compiled them into jokes, which turned out to be even more popular!

The news spread to the Nanyang government office, and Fang Yizhi, who was frightened by the news that the grass bandits came down the mountain to plunder Wuyang, heaved a long sigh of relief, and said, "Sure enough, as I expected, those mobs ran to the tiger's field. There will be no good results if you make trouble in the Internet!" When he learned that Yang Menglong took back 6 taels of silver for Huizhou merchants and returned the original biscuit, he was even more proud, boasting that he had a good eye for knowing people, and recommending Yang Menglong to the court The wisest decision of my life!

Naturally, the gentry everywhere would not be unaware of the news.They whispered to each other, saying that although Yang Menglong was domineering and was not polite to the gentry in his jurisdiction, he promised a lot of money and took back tens of thousands of taels of silver from the bandits without touching a dime, and returned it to Cheng Ji as it was. How many people can do it? ?If you change to other generals, if you can repay a few thousand taels of Cheng Ji, your ancestors will burn high incense, and you are willing to pay back 1 taels. Taking this huge sum of money for yourself is the true nature of a Ming general!Well, it seems that it is a good thing to invest in his territory. I dare not say anything else, at least my property can be guaranteed... As for the refugees from all over the place, they set off for Wuyang one after another to see if they could live in Wuyang. Settle down there... There is a strong army to defend the peace of the place, and a lot of manpower is needed. Is there a more ideal place than this?
Everyone was very happy, but Liu Jintang was not.He was drinking tea when he heard that Yang Menglong wiped out more than [-] grass bandits. Hearing this, his hands trembled, half a cup of hot tea was poured on himself, and he jumped up abruptly, staring at Ji Youcai , hoarsely called: "You... what did you say? Say it again!"

Ji Youcai said with a bitter face, "My lord, the more than 4000 horses assembled by the thirteen villages in Tongbai Mountain were all wiped out by that boy, and none of them escaped!"

Liu Jintang put down his teacup heavily, and shouted out of composure: "This...it's impossible, it's impossible! I know best what the state of Wuyang Guard is. They fought another battle in Dingxing, and almost all the servants who could fight were killed. Well, with this little force, it’s fine if we don’t get eaten up by the grass bandits, and we’re going to wipe out four thousand grass bandits? That’s absolutely impossible!”

Ji Youcai said with a sad face, "I can't even believe this is true, but...the four thousand grass bandits were really wiped out by him! It is said that he immediately mobilized a thousand elite soldiers after learning that the grass bandits had invaded the country!" Going to war, blocked the grass bandits on the banks of the Shahe River, and wiped out [-] grass bandits in just one battle! I heard from the local people that the bodies of the grass bandits were scattered everywhere like wheat stacks Yes, at least there are thousands of them, and many of them drift downstream along the river. They dare not eat the fish and shrimps fished out of the river! Leaders like Black Whirlwind, White-fronted Tiger, Guoshanliang, and Zijinliang are even more None of them ran away, they were either beheaded or captured alive, my lord, what should I do?"

Liu Jintang turned pale and muttered to himself: "How is this possible? How is this possible? Where did he get so many elite soldiers!"

Ji Youcai said: "It is said that he created it all by himself. This elite army participated in the Battle of Dingxing, fought a fierce battle with Jiannu, and went through several months of training. They have strict discipline. Hi, the combat power is so strong, I'm afraid it's still higher than the master's servant!"

Liu Jintang roared: "Why didn't you say such an important thing earlier!?"

Ji Youcai shivered from being yelled at, and almost didn't urinate: "Little... the villain just found out..."

Liu Jintang kicked him into a somersault: "You trash, you have made me suffer! What should I do? I have a lot of things in the hands of the gang leaders. If he uses this as a fuss I'm afraid I won't be able to escape the charge of raising a bandit's self-respect, Wu Sha will not be guaranteed!"

Ji Youcai broke out in a cold sweat. He has helped Liu Jintang do some shameless dirty work. If there is a lawsuit, Liu Jintang will probably push him out as a scapegoat!Liu Jintang dare not say whether he can keep the black hat, but he will definitely lose his head!He rolled his eyes and said, "My lord, why don't we act first and charge the chief secretary with a crime of dereliction of duty for weak defense? After all, the grass bandits looted several villages and killed many people. He can't deny it, as long as the adults are willing to spend money, they will definitely bring him down!"

Liu Jintang nodded first, and then showed a pained look like cutting flesh: "You are not unreasonable... But how much money will it take to feed the hungry wolves of the Chief Secretary!"

Thinking about the leech-like appetite of the Chief Secretary's gang of elders, Ji Youcai also shivered subconsciously.If he wanted to feed these hungry wolves, Commander Liu's wallet would probably bleed profusely!Seeing that Liu Jintang began to hesitate, he quickly drew a big cake: "My lord, although it is not easy to feed those hungry wolves, once it is done, there will be many benefits!"

Liu Jintang asked weakly: "What are the benefits?"

Ji Youcai said: "There are many benefits! My lord, that kid has reclaimed a lot of fields, right? If you knock him down, wouldn't those fields become yours, my lord? Also, he has a tiger-wolf team under his command." Master, if he is killed, all those elite soldiers will not be returned to your lord? With an elite army in hand these days, why can’t things be done?”

Liu Jintang's eyes lit up immediately: "Hearing what you said, there are really many benefits...Okay, hurry up and unclog your joints, it doesn't matter how much money you spend, I'll kill that kid anyway!" At the end , he gritted his teeth.Having spent most of his life in the officialdom, in the end he was forced into such a mess by a young brat, he couldn't help but grit his teeth!
Ji Youcai is like Feng Lunyin, so hurry up and do it.It was a matter of life and death, so he naturally had to exert all his strength to move, otherwise his life would be lost.

What a coincidence, Zhang Tong also became active.Without much effort, he got the ironclad evidence from the prison camp that Liu Jintang colluded with the bandits, supported the bandits, and allowed the bandits to loot Wuyang. As Wuyang's parent official, he could not swallow this bad breath no matter what, so he ran to Nanyang non-stop. The government office handed these irrefutable evidence to Fang Yizhi.Fang Yizhi was furious and scolded Liu Jintang for being shameless. In anger, he wrote furiously and sent two memorials to the capital, one to report the victory and the other to complain!
Liu, if you dare to indulge the bandits to loot my territory, I will never end with you!
