"I don't know Jin...I don't know why you have to come to my mountain gate?"
"Come to ransack the house."
"..."
"Don't worry, try not to kill anyone."
Zhang Xing saw that the other party was in a daze and was rarely willing to negotiate, so he responded sincerely. "Go back and tell your family who can take care of things. There are now four groups of twelve groups of 600 Jiangdu camp soldiers outside, plus a group of three groups of 150 Jinwu guards, seven Danyang County government officials, and nineteen Lishui County government officials. As well as eight knights in brocade clothes from Jingantai, the eastern capital, plus a left-behind son of Deputy Zhou who can dispatch the Jiangdu camp army at any time... Please think about it for yourself, and those who can make the decision take the initiative to come out and talk to me in person. Even if the house is searched, we can discuss it, otherwise, the chickens and dogs will not be spared... The time limit is before noon, so we can wait for the time being."
Yes, it was a sunny day after the snow. On this morning, when the army suddenly surrounded the main house of the Danyang Yu family in Lishui, the person who came out to negotiate was actually a middle-aged governor, not a few years of the Yu family's direct lineage. The elders were not even those talented men from Jiangdong who were known as the Yu clan's Sanshui.
After hearing the general idea, everyone was so frightened that their faces were ashen, their limbs were trembling, and they didn't dare to say a word, so they staggered back to the door, and waited until the sun was approaching due south, but there was no movement, which made the surrounding soldiers eager to try.
"Show off your spirit like Mr. Zhou."
Seeing this, Zhang Xing became a little impatient, but he complained to Master Zhou Xingfan. . "Let them be honest, and don't be embarrassed here like they have never seen the world. When I come to ransack the house, I will definitely distribute it properly... It's really chaotic, and the profits are unevenly distributed, and they all feel that they are at a disadvantage. The key is that once chaos breaks out, they will inevitably have to Who benefits from damaging things and losing money and food?”
Zhou Xingfan had no choice but to restrain him.
There was no other way. In order to accomplish this in one fell swoop and create a surprise effect, the troops were divided into three groups to search the house this time. Bai Yousi didn't mention it all the way, Hu Yan led Jin Zhuo Lingjian together, and then Zhang Xing led Zhou Gongzi again. All the way - in other words, Mr. Zhou is Zhang Xing's golden arrow.
However, just when Zhou Xingfan left to restrain his father's subordinates, the door opened again, and then a middle-aged man with pale face and white clothes walked out surrounded by several people who looked like housekeepers.
"Yu Henshui, who is dressed in white, has seen the imperial envoy." The visitor was stunned and bowed in front of the yellow gelding.
"Is there really no place in life where we don't meet again?" Zhang Xing was slightly startled, but then he immediately sneered on his horse, and then slightly held his hand. "Bai Shou Zhang Xing, I have met Mr. Henshui of Yu family's Sanshui. We say goodbye on the river. It seems that you are still in good health."
The other party raised his head in astonishment, looked at me for a moment, and then for some reason, he actually covered his face and shed tears on the spot: "It turns out that what the imperial envoy said that day was actually true... After I escaped back, I felt that the imperial envoy was trying to scare me. I was afraid of embarrassment, so I didn't tell him. family."
"Fortunately I didn't tell you, otherwise it would have been really troublesome." Zhang Xing didn't bother to explain. "Mr. Henshui, if you had informed me, there would have been a bloody disaster today... It's not as efficient as we can do it after consultation."
Yu Henshui shook his head and shed tears everywhere. It took a lot of effort to contain these emotions, and then he tried his best to respond: "The imperial envoy said that he wanted to search the house, but there are some things that he must say clearly... Why did he suddenly Want to confiscate your home? The imperial court...the imperial court...why did the imperial court suddenly do so? Neither did we..."
In the end, I was even more speechless.
"Mr. Henshui, we hit it off immediately. We are like brothers. There is nothing we can't say."
Zhang Xing stood condescendingly on Huang Piao's horse and responded seriously.
"Actually, things are not as exaggerated as you think. For example, the imperial court regards you as a thorn in the side... You are not worthy... It is that the seven counties in Jiangdong caused some trouble here and lacked a lot of food. The imperial court sent us down to collect food, and we found that This basket is too big. There is really nothing we can do. No food can be distributed anywhere. Then you see that all the Jiangdong powerful men were killed by Yang Bin when he suppressed the rebellion that day. Only the common people and you are left. But It would be against your conscience to ask the common people to hand over grain again, so I have to suffer for you."
Yu Henshui shook his head: "I didn't understand."
"With your family background, you don't understand normality." Zhang Xing sighed. "Then, you know... the higher-ups want food and are afraid that the people will rebel, but you are wimps, so I have to let you out."
Yu Henshui thought for a moment, but was still at a loss: "I understand what you said, but if it's just a lack of food, why can't you borrow food directly? Do you have to raid your home?"
"Because I borrow food directly, you are definitely not willing to borrow it, and you need it urgently." Zhang Xing became increasingly impatient. "So we ransack the house first. If there's a quarrel, food can still escape?"
At this point, seeing the other party's eyes turning red again, and Zhou Xingfan also returning from riding, Zhang Xing was completely impatient, pointed directly at the sun and scolded: "Don't cry, I told you, if we can't reach an agreement before noon, then Send the troops in... You are crying here, do you really think that the three hundred years of civilization of the Yu family in Danyang will be destroyed just to save some food?"
Yu Henshui immediately stopped his tears and said, "Zhang Baishou said, is it easy to discuss?"
"yes."
Zhang Xing sighed, then raised his voice and announced. "What I mean is this. If we don't use force, we must ensure that all the grain stored in your home, including your houses in various counties and cities, is handed over. As for the place where we came to surround, let alone the grain stored in chickens, ducks and sheep." The pigs, even the bacon and salted fish for the Chinese New Year, must also be handed over. The geese for practicing calligraphy and the cranes for viewing, which are edible anyway, must be handed over as food, and not a penny can be kept... , is a death!
"All the copper coins in the house are also taken out and distributed to the soldiers, Jinwu guards, and government officials. No one can be retained. And half of all the gold and silver must be taken out and distributed to the officers and patrolmen... But this is not guaranteed, because the gold and silver There may be more, so the scraps of money may have to be divided and profited... You can't keep this secret. If you hide it, if I find it, I will fine you ten times!
"Finally, you also know that Mr. Zhou and I are considered to be civilized people, so you have to bring out ten pieces of heirloom calligraphy and painting. Mr. Zhou and I each have five pieces, and then ten pieces of jewelry and jade. Five pieces are I want to give it to the businessman, and there are five more things to give to our Zhongcheng... Also, I need an extra good horse to accompany me on my royal tour.
If you deal with it this way, I guarantee that your home will be safe and its foundation will not be lost. But if you dare to resist, I will kill you with a knife and an arrow, and you will not be spared. Do you understand? "
Yu Henshui thought for a while and asked seriously: "How can Zhang Baishui ensure that it can be carried out fairly?"
"Open the gate, tear down the wall of the front yard, and I will lead fifty soldiers in. In front of everyone, we will decide the present... Even if we act like this, we will make a mistake, it will be enough to convince everyone." Zhang Xing said proudly. right.
"In this case, I will go back and report now." Yu Henshui handed him over and turned back with the support of the left and right officials.
When he walked to the front door of his house, he remembered something and turned back and handed over his hand: "One last question, Zhang Baishou, please tell me, is it just our Yu family, or the eight Jiangdong families?"
"together."
Zhang Xingzai immediately smiled knowingly. "After I ransack your house, I have to go to the Huan family. There are also two groups of people who have gone to surround the Chen family and the Gu family, and they are all rude people... However, to be honest, both the Wang family and the Xie family have There is also a pill condensation master, I need to use you as an example, and then deal with it in the end..."
Yu Henshui was determined and immediately returned to his house. A moment later, after Zhang Xing ordered everyone to prepare their crossbows, the door of the Danyang Yu family's ancestral house opened before noon.
ps: Thanks to the Evil Spirit Reappearance classmate and Li Lu for their cuteness, as well as a certain teacher from a certain big v for the reward... I wish you all an early New Year's greetings.
