Qiao Yu had a plan in mind, and asked Yuan Zanbi: "Master Yuan, do you want to go back?"

Yuan Zanbi shook his head and said, "Mr. Qiao will go back first, I still have things to do."

Qiao Yu nodded, and was pushed into the car by Han Tan.

Qiao Yu turned around and found that the direction of Yuan Zan's pen should be the General's Mansion.

……

Because Qingzhou is far away from the border, Mei Yingqin, the general of Qingzhou, feels unable to make contributions, and because Qingzhou's forces are intertwined, so after being transferred to Qingzhou, Mei Yingqin is very depressed and addicted to women's sex, wine and music. Few people in Shaoling City have seen him.

Yuan Zanbi was drinking tea in the hall, waiting for his servants to report.

Not long after, a young man came from behind and said apologetically, "Master Yuan has been waiting for a long time."

Mei Yingqin has a gentle appearance, with the demeanor of a Confucian general. There is only a very light scar under the eyelid. She seems to be about the same age as Yuan Zanbi. There are two circles of black and blue under her eyes. It was just replaced.

Mei Yingqin said: "I have already understood the purpose of your lord's visit. If your lord needs it, I will definitely die."

Yuan Zanbi has always been able to refuse to answer such polite words, and said directly: "May I ask Mr. Mei, how many people are available in the Qingzhou Army?"

Mei Yingqin thought that Yuan Zanbi would be polite to him, but he didn't expect him to be so straightforward, and also restrained his attitude, saying: "There are still one hundred thousand elite soldiers."

Yuan Zanbi said thoughtfully, "How about the armor? How about the training?"

"Last year, a batch of armors were just replaced, and some new recruits came and are training." Mei Yingqin said with a wry smile, "However, the veterans have never fought in battle. This time the rebel army rose up, and I was caught off guard. It is really a crime that cannot be punished." The emperor I probably also knew how much the death of the Qingzhou defender would affect the situation, so it didn't happen.

But whether it will be settled after the fall, no one can guarantee.

"I asked the housekeeper to sort out the documents of the general's mansion, please wait a moment, my lord." Mei Yingqin said.

Yuan Zanbi nodded and said, "Thank you."

"It's my responsibility." Mei Yingqin said.

Not long after, all the documents were sorted out and brought up by the housekeeper, Mei Yingqin said: "Send it to your lord..."

"The Governor's Mansion."

Mei Yingqin was taken aback for a moment, he had long heard that Yuan Zanbi and Qiao Yu were not on good terms, how could they be in the Governor's Mansion together?

"Send it to the Governor's Mansion." He ordered.

With Mei Yingqin's cooperation, Yuan Zanbi had nothing to ask, and said: "In that case, I will take my leave first."

Mei Yingqin stood up to see off the guests, and said with a smile, "Master Yuan, please."

Yuan Zanbi turned around, the young man breathed a sigh of relief, and he also turned around, the next moment, a strong wind suddenly hit him behind, Mei Yingqin was stunned, she fought back, and was grabbed by the wrist , the angle of the Yuanzan pen was subtly folded, and there was only a click, and Mei Yingqin felt a sharp pain in her wrist, but before she realized it, her hands were cut behind her back and kicked to the ground.

Mei Yingqin couldn't hide her shock, his face turned blue from the pain, his lips were still trembling and he said, "What is Mr. Yuan doing?"

Yuan Zan wrote: "Where is Mei Yingqin?"

Mei Yingqin twisted her neck desperately and said, "I am Mei Yingqin!"

"Just now you said that there are a hundred thousand soldiers in Qingzhou. They are strong and well equipped."

Mei Yingqin struggled a few times but failed, she just knelt on the ground and said, "Yes, what's wrong?"

"Since there are such elite soldiers, how did Qingzhou be attacked by the rebels?"

Mei Yingqin blushed slightly, and said stiffly, "Why not? I didn't realize it before. I advise Master Yuan to let go. Even if you are an imperial envoy, you shouldn't be so rude!"

"One more little thing," Yuan Zan wrote, "I've been to the barracks."

Mei Yingqin's face turned completely pale.

Yuan Zan's hand slightly exerted force, "Where is Mei Yingqin?"

Mei Yingqin, it should be said that this unknown person wanted to say something, when a woman screamed suddenly from outside.

The two raised their heads at the same time, and the man immediately lowered his head after seeing the beautiful lady who was not far away, gritted his teeth and said nothing.

Although the woman was trembling, her voice was still calm, "Who are you? What are you doing?"

"Mrs. Mei?" Yuan Zanbi guessed.

The woman said: "The concubine is indeed Mrs. Mei, how dare I ask what this lord is doing?"

Yuan Zan wrote: "Madam, is this your master?"

Mrs. Mei should be a few years older than this man, she was stunned, the man shook her head desperately, she took a deep breath, said: "No."

Yuan Zanbi nodded, "Thank you Madam for telling me that Yuan is the new deputy envoy sent by the imperial court to assist Qingzhou military affairs. This person pretends to be Mr. Mei and lied about the military situation. Yuan will take him back for interrogation. I'm being rude today, and I will definitely come to the door some other day." Sorry."

The man said anxiously: "You... what are you doing, I am Mei Yingqin, Mr. Yuan, don't listen to the woman's nonsense, I..."

Seeing him pulling the man up, Mrs. Mei said in a trembling voice, "Wait a minute, my lord."

Yuan Zan's pen stopped as expected, "Madam, what else can I do?"

Mrs. Mei said: "This man is indeed not my concubine's husband, he is, he is Mei Yingqin's younger brother, Mei Yingxian."

Mei Yingxian felt that Yuanzan pen loosened its strength and broke free from his hands, "Master Yuan is too rude."

Mrs. Mei lightly blocked, and stopped Mei Yingxian behind, "My concubine was seriously injured and couldn't manage the affairs. I can only ask my younger brother to come forward to assist in affairs. Qingzhou is in chaos, and there must be a general to stabilize people's hearts. This is also a helpless move. Still Please forgive me, my lord." Mrs. Mei blessed her body and bowed gracefully, looking at Yuan Zanbi with a gentle and sad gaze, which seemed to have a glimmer of water on closer inspection.

Mei Yingxian pressed her swollen wrist and hummed dissatisfiedly: "That's it, what else can you say?"

Yuan Zan wrote: "So that's the case." He paused, "It's just that you shouldn't lie about military information anyway."

Mei Yingxian thought that for this reason, the Yuanzan pen could be easily uncovered, but he still clung to it. He sighed and said, "Master Yuan, the Qingzhou army is corrupt and incompetent for a day or two. I'll wait and see." You don't have the intention to turn decay into magic." He was still defending, stepped forward, and said, "Sister-in-law, you go in first."

Mrs. Mei looked at Mei Yingxian worriedly, who shook her head.

"I know my words are still sophistry in the adults' ears," Mei Yingxian said: "My brother is really wrong in this matter, there is nothing to say."

The young man looked tired, and his face was still rubbed with the ashes from the Yuanzan pen that threw him to the ground just now. He looked pitiful and ridiculous.

His wrist was swollen like a steamed bun, and he forgot about the pain at the moment, just talking to Yuan Zanbi.

Yuan Zan wrote: "Your Excellency, let's find a doctor first."

Mei Yingxian called out weakly, "Go, find a doctor who can treat bruises." Seeing that Yuan Zanbi had no intention of leaving, he said, "Sir, please sit down. If you want to know anything, I will know." There is no end to words.”

Yuan Zanbi actually sat down unceremoniously, and said, "How many troops are there in Qingzhou?"

Mei Yingxian coughed twice in embarrassment, and said, "Didn't you go to the military camp?" He paused, the situation was urgent just now, and he really had a ghost in his heart, so he messed up because of Yuan Zanbi's words, " You haven't been there at all! I just said that you just came today, how can you come to me when you have time and energy to deal with business, and you even went to the military camp!"

Yuan Zanbi admitted calmly, "I really haven't been there."

Mei Yingxian was furious, and wanted to criticize, but remembering that she was wronged first, she could only say angrily: "There are more than [-] yuan, and the old, weak, sick and disabled, as well as odd jobs and cooks must be counted."

Yuan Zanbi said lightly: "Brother makes the army not strict."

Mei Yingxian endured it for a long time, and said: "Where is there no false report? Where did the floods get so many young people?" He met Yuan Zanbi's eyes, and suddenly remembered that the other party was once the head of the five states in the western region , These things are much clearer than him.

"If 2 people are said to be 8, there will be 8 people who are free." Yuan Zan wrote: "All the military pay comes from the national treasury, and these [-] people don't exist at all, so where did the money go, Mr. Mei knows? "His tone has always been flat, but every word and every sentence is full of heart-breaking words.

Mei Yingxian's face was flushed, and she said again: "Weapons and armor have not been used for many years, and they have been washed by the flood several times. Now the rust is so good that you can pick it up. Most of them are rotten to the point of scrap iron. .and food, food, "

When the doctor came over, he couldn't help but be surprised to see Mei Yingxian tossing herself into such a virtue.

Mei Yingxian finally found someone who could get angry, and angrily said: "What are you doing standing there? Come here soon!"

The doctor hurried over to see his wound.

Mei Yingxian gasped in pain, and he said as if giving up on himself: "The food and grass ran out a few days ago. The army has to eat, and the common people have to eat, and the governor's mansion doesn't give them food. I can't help it. I can't just watch. They starve to death."

"Why doesn't the governor's office release food?"

When Mei Yingxian saw Yuan Zan's pen, she didn't know what to ask, and she couldn't get angry. Okay, the co-authors are all pretending to be clichés!

He couldn't help but looked at the Yuanzan pen from top to bottom, and saw that the other party's eyebrows were heroic, and his eyes were even clearer. Such eyes, such an appearance, no matter how you look at it, you are a master who is ignorant of the world. Not even blinking.

"The governor's office is not there either," Mei Yingxian sighed, "Since Qingzhou guard was killed, the deputy guard has been saying that he is sick and never goes out, and the food from outside cannot be brought in, and it has been robbed by refugees and bandits. They are all people with strong backgrounds, and there is food, but it is not in my hands, it is in your hands," he said, the Yuanzan pen, "in the hands of these big families. Food is now more expensive than gold, who can afford it? Master Qingzhou If the city of Shaoling is like this, what about other cities? The Qingzhou Army has such a virtue, how can I lead them to snatch it? A bunch of waste that can't support the wall."

Mei Yingxian must have held it back for a long time, before vomiting it all out in one breath, "Even if it works, we are the regular army of the imperial court, how can we join the bandits? Besides, even if I really go to rob, all the loot will be given to the army and the people. The edict from Zhongzhou on the second day was definitely not to reward me, but to kill me. My lord, the situation is like this, what can I do?"

Yuan Zan wrote: "I didn't see many dead people when I came to Shaoling. According to what you said, there should be a mountain of dead bodies in Shaoling by now."

The doctor didn't know where to press Mei Yingxian, he yelled and then immediately closed his mouth, grinning sneer, looking very funny, "It should be so, but well, the deputy guard thought of a brilliant idea a month ago, It is easy to force people who do not have more than [-] tans of grain to move out of Shaoling. It is just that there are more dirty things in the yard every day, such as manure, dead bodies, and the women in the family are suddenly kidnapped when they come back at night, etc. It's nothing more than a trivial matter." His face was distorted with pain, "In the long run, Shao Ling's death is of course less, and there can be more or less food in Shao Ling's home."

Yuan Zan pen lowered his eyes.

Yuan Zanbi seemed very quiet when he was thinking about things.

Mei Yingxian thought to herself that this is the only way to know people without knowing their faces.

Who would have thought that the Yuanzan pen would not only deceive people, but also be so ruthless!If Mrs. Mei hadn't come out in time, his hand might have been broken by the Yuanzan pen!

"I know, thank you, Mrs. Mei."

Mei Yingxian's response was a sneer.

Yuan Zan wrote: "There should be documents and other things in the General's Mansion, and I ask Mr. Mei to send them to the Governor's Mansion later."

Mei Yingxian stood up suddenly, startling the doctor, "Why should I?"

He looks gentle on the outside, but that's not the case on the inside. It's too difficult for him to pretend to be a Confucian general.

Yuan Zanbi said softly: "Master Mei is not afraid of the court's punishment?" His words did not sound like threats, but they were too harsh to Mei Yingxian's ears.

Mei Yingxian sneered and said, "Whatever, I won't go."

Yuan Zanbi sighed softly, "Master Mei knows that the tutor is Wei Shuai."

"What if your teacher is the emperor?"

"My teacher once mentioned that General Mei Yingqin has a scar on his lower eyelid. Since General Mei arrived in Qingzhou, he has ignored the military and has been drinking and courting prostitutes every day for fun. Few people in Shaoling have seen the general. There is a small official in the Governor's Mansion. Since the accident in Qingzhou, people who looked like wealthy people who left Shaoling had written down their general faces. One of them said that those with scars on their lower eyelids would leave the city at a quarter of noon on the second day. Not long after the city was broken."

Mei Yingxian understood the meaning of Yuan Zanbi.

Yuan Zan wrote: "It can be seen that Brother Ling is very afraid of being investigated by the court."

Mei Yingxian looked at him bitterly.

Yuan Zan wrote: "Mr. Zhengshi and I will not stay in Qingzhou for too long. During the council period, we still need Mr. Mei's assistance. I hope." He looked at Mei Yingxian, and the latter saw sincerity in his eyes. "Be able to get along well with adults."

Mei Yingxian reluctantly let out a sigh.

"General Mei Yingqin should have a lot of contacts with the Qingzhou family, and please help me make a list." Yuan Zan pen said warmly: "Thank you, sir, Yuan."

Mei Yingxian patted the table with one hand and applauded, "General Yuan is a good man. You already knew that I am not Mei Yingqin, why didn't you expose me earlier?"

"Yuan believes that as long as things can be done well, identity doesn't matter."

Yuan Zanbi doesn't care who is in front of him at all, as long as it is useful, it is enough.

But he didn't expose it, obviously Mei Yingxian was not willing to cooperate.

"Tomorrow everything will be delivered to your lord's house." Mei Yingxian said: "Do you need me to keep your lord for dinner?"

Yuan Zanbi knew that Mei Yingxian would be very reluctant to see him, so he shook his head and said, "I have something else to do, so don't bother me."

Mei Yingxian said unhappily: "I'm sorry to send you off." He frowned, "Be gentle! Can't you be gentle?"

This man has pure eyes, but he is so cunning!

Mei Yingxian let out a long hiss and rubbed off the scar under her eyelids.

Yuan Zanbi left the General's Mansion, it was already dark, he thought for a moment, got on his horse, and went to the Governor's Mansion.

As soon as he entered the hall, his footsteps stopped.

The courtyard is full of jewels and jewels, as if it is not in the world.

Qiao Yu was lying on a couch that looked like a big leaf. When he walked in, he saw that the leaf was carved from a whole piece of emerald, and it was covered with a whole piece of fox fur like new snow. Black with a very white complexion.

With a pen in his mouth, Qiao Yu said vaguely, "I'm back."

Qiao Yu didn't go back to the governor's mansion immediately, but went to the governor's house to find several lists, went to the funeral, and spent the whole night thinking about these things.

Yuan Zanbi nodded.

Qiao Yu said: "I think Qingzhou is out of control. You said that we extorted property and food in the name of the court, and then held Qingzhou Army in our hands, how about it?"

Yuan Zan wrote: "2 people, insufficient weapons, no training all year round, I don't think so."

Qiao Yu stood up, "Twenty thousand?"

"Twenty thousand."

Qiao Yu was amazed, "How much is the empty salary?" He knocked on the emerald couch under him, "I'm afraid it's not easy for Mei Yingqin in Qingzhou to hide from the world, and there must be support from aristocratic family. It was used in the court. How about Mei Yingqin? Did you kill him?"

After Yuanzanbi explained the future, Qiao Yu said, "It's a good thing to run away. Mei Yingxian may not be willing to cooperate with us. His younger brother doesn't seem to be very smart. This is a good thing." He picked up the paper on the ground and handed it to Yuanzanpen. "How do you see it?"

Yuan Zan pen has ten lines at a glance.

Qiao Yu said: "Four out of ten Qingzhou is in the hands of the rebels. The place where the rebels are most rampant is also the place where the floods are the most serious. The government's inaction, neither suppression nor ability to release food, has led to today's situation. Shao Ling's actions The main city of Qingzhou must not be lost," Yuan Zanbi looked at him seriously, there seemed to be a smile in his eyes, Qiao Yu didn't know who he became in Yuan Zanbi's heart, "At least we can't lose it in our hands .”

"There is still food in Shaoling City, and the people in the city can maintain it. Shaoling City must be strictly ordered to leave. I don't know if there is any internal response in it. This is especially true for the aristocratic family. Mei Yingqin has run away. Who else is unwilling to leave? This is wrong. Land? They can leave, but the property and food they have plundered for many years must be left behind. With [-] dan per person, Shaoling may be in danger of being destroyed at any time. I heard that the rebels would kill rich and noble families and distribute the food to the people. These [-] guarantees are considered life insurance money, not much.”

Qiao Yu looked like a prime minister, clearly a bandit.

"Also, Shaoling is not short of food, but not for the remaining seven cities in Qingzhou. We have to raise food in a short time and send it to the other seven cities." He rolled his eyes, "Two questions, one, Where does the food come from, and second, who will escort it.”

"There are still young and middle-aged men in the Qingzhou Army, and they can hardly be considered brave when they are armed. We also brought more than [-] people on this trip, and we will use the thousand-man squad that can be used to organize the Zhongzhou Army in batches to escort food."

"Aren't you afraid that they will run away with their things?" Qiao Yu jokingly said, "Canglin knows etiquette. At this time, the army is no different from wild beasts. How can the few people you send be useful?"

Yuan Zanbi asked rhetorically, "What should Xiang Qiao do?"

Qiao Yu said: "First make up for the military salary deducted by Mei Yingqin, and then convert the general's salary into food. Explain the stakes and interests. Those who are unwilling to go can return home directly. Those who are willing to go and escort the food will be promoted to a higher rank. The salaries are also exchanged for food first, and those who regret it after going there or simply collude with the rebels will be killed directly. In the past few days, the Qingzhou Army will have to clean up, and anyone who disturbs the morale of the army will be killed, regardless of their status. The Zhongzhou army brought here are all elites, and those who are capable are selected to escort them, and those who succeed will be rewarded by the imperial court."

Qingzhou is far away from the border, and there are few wars. Therefore, military discipline is loose, and soldiers have no chance of promotion.

Qiao Yu used heavy codes and heavy rewards.

"Although it's good to be able to disarm and return to the fields, there are always people who want to make meritorious deeds and honor their ancestors." Qiao Yu said, "Where does the food come from?"

Yuan Zanbi supported Qiao Yu's couch, "This is it."

Qiao Yu said with a smile, "You nibble one and show me."

Both of them clearly knew what the other was thinking, but they didn't say anything clearly.

Yuan Zan wrote: "Qiao Xiang has decided to let the aristocratic family contribute."

"It's strange to hoard grain," Qiao Yu said with a smile, "It's not that Qingzhou has no grain, but has been hoarded by people. The imperial court has no grain and the aristocratic family's warehouse is full, and they are all smuggled from other safe places to open up government joints at a low price. However, the imperial court and the common people have to pay a lot of money to buy it, and they have embezzled less than [-]% of the food sent by the imperial court for disaster relief. The truth is that as long as they provide grain and don’t kill them, it is the best in the world.”

Yuan Zan wrote: "Greetings."

Qiao Yu pretended to be stupid on purpose, "What invitation?"

Yuan Zan wrote: "Fang family's invitation card."

Qiao Yu smiled, took out the greeting card and threw it to Yuan Zanbi.

"Lord Yuan, this is a joint invitation. All the famous families in Qingzhou are here. If we ask them to contribute money and efforts, we will probably completely offend most of the courtiers."

Yuan Zanbi hummed.

Qiao Yu waved his hands back and forth, "Let me guess what Lord Yuan will do. He will speak softly and talk about his family and country."

"What if it's useless?"

"Useless generals will salute first and then fight," Qiao Yu raised his lips, "One death can frighten a thousand people."

He obviously thought so, but he said that Cheng Yuanzanbi was thinking about it.

But Yuan Zanbi had to admit that in this regard, the two of them coincided with each other.

"In addition to this greeting card, there are also private greeting cards. In fact, it doesn't have to be so ugly. If a big clan takes the lead, other small clans will follow suit." Qiao Yu pulled out a bunch and sent it to Yuan Zanbi, " Choose one, these are all from aristocratic families, let's see which one we see first."

He laughed at Yan Yan, saying which one to see first, but in fact which one was the first to be operated on.

Yuanzan took out a pen casually and unfolded it.

Yuanshi.

The author has something to say:

One more.

There will be two more.

There is not enough time to code words after dinner.
