Hearing Mei Tang's words, the head of the Yan family felt dizzy.

How could this happen? How did Mei Tang know about the basement? !

The entrance is so hidden!

In order to prevent the basement from being taken out by someone, the Yan family deliberately divided the basement into more than 40 cellars, each of which was unconnected and had its own entrance.

Even the trusted butler only knew seven or eight entrances.

Even I can't remember it completely.

The head of the Yan family cast a vicious look at Mei Tang, wishing he could chew him alive.

Mei Tang kicked the Yan family patriarch on the back, leaving him speechless: "What are you looking at? Haven't you seen your grandfather?!"

When has the head of the Yan family ever suffered such humiliation? !

He tried to stand up tremblingly, but was kicked in the heel by a Yunzhou soldier, and fell to his knees again.

He raised his head and stared at Mei Tang: "Ever since you came to Shuozhou with Lord He, I have been paying tribute to you every year. Why do you treat our Yan family like this?!"

Mei Tang was extremely happy to have his revenge: "You must not remember that when our family passed through Shuozhou, you saw my mother was beautiful and kidnapped her. My father went to the Shuozhou government office for help, but was handed over to your Yan family and locked up in your Yan family's private prison."

Mei Tang's eyes were red, the flame of revenge burning in them: "In the end, my parents died tragically. If it weren't for my adoptive father's kindness and saving me, I would not have escaped your clutches!"

"You tyrants do whatever you want in Shuozhou! I tried to go to Kyoto to complain, but found that your minions have already penetrated deep into Kyoto! I am always hoping that someone can eradicate all of you poisonous tumors!"

"I have been looking forward to this for decades, and finally today has come! With the general here, I want to see how you can come back to life!"

Mei Tang cried and laughed, Dad and Mom, I have finally avenged you!

Gu Nanxi sighed and looked through the account book.

The account books filled four large boxes.

The Yan family has been plundering the people of Shuozhou for decades and can be said to be extremely rich.

If it weren't for the account book, the head of the Yan family might not know how much wealth he has.

Gu Nanxi quickly flipped through a dozen books and stopped reading.

"Report! General, Dujiabao has been captured."

"Report! General, Sunjiabao has been captured!"

Along with the good news came a bunch of account books.

Just by looking at those big boxes, Gu Nanxi knew that she had made it this time!

"These Shuozhou tyrants are richer than me, the governor of Yunzhou. Is this reasonable?"

Mei Tang said confidently: "General, of course it's unreasonable! Have these things ever been taxed? Are these hidden farmers recorded in the Shuozhou register? None of them! Why not? Because they belong to our Yunzhou! They stole them!"

Gu Nanxi agreed with this and was deeply distressed: "We in Yunzhou have been working diligently and hard, but we didn't even know that so many rats appeared next door and stole our granary! It's really heartbreaking!"

"Big rats, big rats, don't eat my millet. Sir, we should catch all those big rats!" Mei Tang opened the roll call list and reminded Gu Nanxi that only three families had been dealt with, and there were still seven families waiting.

Gu Nanxi thought to himself that Mei Tang was very perceptive. No wonder he could become He Yunyan's aide despite being a commoner.

"Come on, follow me to hunt rats!"

Gu Nanxi left behind a thousand soldiers to guard Yanjiabao.

It’s not that he was afraid that those people would escape, but it was the first time he fought such a successful battle, and Gu Nanxi felt uneasy without leaving some soldiers to guard them.

Gu Nanxi went to Dujiabao and Sunjiabao again, and after leaving behind a thousand people, he hurried to Jiajiabao and sent people back to Yunzhou to ask for reinforcements.

……

In the city of Shuozhou, the people are still wondering how long this war will last.

How long will the Yunguo Guild stay in Shuozhou? Will the Yan family learn a lesson and not dare to act so arrogantly in the future?

"Even if Duke Yun stays for another three to five days to scare them, our lives will be much better."

"I heard from my neighbor next door that the head of the Yan family is going to increase the land tax again!"

"It's really miserable to be their tenant farmer. The land rent is already four or five levels higher than other places in Yunzhou. The Yan family also spread the taxes that should have been paid by their family onto the tenant farmers."

"If I were them, I would rather run away than continue working for them."

"The Yan family is very ruthless. You think this is just your business! It doesn't matter if you run away. Your family and neighbors will all suffer because of your escape!"

"Life is better in Yunzhou. I heard that the Tartars have all been driven away, and there is no one threatening them anymore."

"Alas, this is all fate. Who made you born in Shuozhou? In your next life, I hope you can be born into a good family in Yunzhou or Kyoto!"

As the people continued to work, they felt more and more sad.

What’s the point of living like this?

You can see the end at a glance, just like cattle and horses, generation after generation.

"Just accept your fate, this is how we all get through this." Someone sighed softly, bent over, with a numb look in his eyes.

Suddenly, the servants of the Jia family rode on horses and galloped down the street: "Sima sir! Send troops quickly! The Jia family has been surrounded too!"

When Sima of Shuozhou heard the noise, he suddenly opened his eyes, unable to suppress his inner excitement, and rushed out the door.

"What's going on? Who surrounded us?"

The Jia family servant's heart was beating wildly, as if it was frightened by something.

"Duke Yun! The Jia family is surrounded by Duke Yun!"

Sima of Shuozhou could hardly believe his ears: "Didn't you just say that Duke Yun surrounded Yanjiabao? Was it Yanjiabao or Jiajiabao?"

The servants of the Jia family had sad faces. "Duke Yun's troops were divided into three groups, surrounding Yan's Fort, Sun's Fort, and Du's Fort! Now they have gathered their forces and are heading for Jia's Fort!"

The Shuozhou Sima looked up at the sky. The sun was not yet at its zenith. “You mean, Duke Yun didn’t take Yanjiabao, so he turned around and went to Jiajiabao?”

"No! Yan's Fort, Sun's Fort, and Du's Fort have all been destroyed! Sir, please stop asking! Our master wants you to rescue him quickly!"

What? !

Everyone in the government office was dumbfounded.

Are you sure they broke into Yan's Castle? Weren't they invited in by the Patriarch of the Yan family?

Isn't this too fast?!

But looking at the anxious look of the Jia family's servant, it doesn't look like he is joking.

They have always been arrogant, when have they ever shown such an anxious look?

The officer swallowed his saliva and whispered to the Sima of Shuozhou: "Sir, the movement of Duke Yun is quite loud. If we don't take any action, it will be a bit unreasonable."

Maintaining public order in Shuozhou was one of the duties of the Shuozhou Sima.

The Sima of Shuozhou had no choice but to take twenty people and rush to Jiajiabao at full speed.
