Several young children quickly put a bowl of boiling water and some dry food for guests on the wooden table, and then retreated into the inner cave.
Sun Qing looked back at the cave and looked at Zhang Sheng with a pair of suspended eyes.
"Zhang Xiaoshuai, as far as I know, the owner of Pingshan Valley should be Luo Si, why is there no trace of him?"
Come again?
"Going back to Sun Shuai, when Luo Si attacked Liu's Wubao, his orders were unclear and his command was improper, which resulted in heavy casualties among the brothers. In addition, in this Pinggu Valley, the people from below were the first to arrive, but Luo Si came from behind and bullied and targeted them everywhere. I wanted to kill me, but the two things coincided, and in a moment of excitement, I sent Luo Si on his way."
Zhang Sheng told the truth.
Those who kill will always be killed.
There is no reason in the world that if others don’t let me live, I should wait for death obediently, right?
Hearing Zhang Sheng's blunt explanation of the reason why Luo Si was killed, Sun Qing found that the words of accusation he had thought up before were of no use for a moment, as if those words had turned into a breath of depression, blocking his chest. , unable to get up or down, so I had to pick up the water bowl on the table and take a sip.
"Zhang Sheng, the general heard that you have prepared grain and assets for him. Is this true? Is it false?" Sun Qing took a deep breath as he drank the water. He no longer had the intention to do anything with the rogue in front of him. Too much entanglement.
"This is true." Zhang Sheng gave him an affirmative answer.
"How much grain do you have and how much are your assets?" Sun said softly, staring at Zhang Sheng with a pair of suspended eyes.
"Six thousand shi of grain, more than ten million yuan of money, and more than eight or nine hundred pieces of silk." Zhang Sheng reported the number with a smile.
"Zhang Xiaoshuai, is this number correct?" Sun Qing was slightly stunned when he heard the number reported by Zhang Sheng. Then, with a pair of stern eyes filled with anger and confusion, he stared at the little thief in front of him with a look of confusion.
"The data is conclusive!" Zhang Sheng confirmed again.
Sun Qing was even more confused. He couldn't understand. Could this little thief be stupid?
As a person who is rampant in Hebei Province and is in charge of the three states, the general has some sources of information. According to the information, the amount that this little thief got from breaking Liu's Wubao is indeed the amount he said, not what Wulu and others said. Tens of thousands of stones of grain are accumulated, but the accumulation of capital is useless.
However, when other little thieves hand over supplies, they always make false reports and conceal the information, leaving the bulk for themselves, but what about this little thief? Turn them all in. What was he trying to do by breaking the fort? What do his men eat? What to use? He really couldn't understand the little thief in front of him.
Sun Qing didn't ask, Zhang Sheng didn't speak, and the cave fell into silence.
Hanging eyes to eyes.
"Ahem...ahem, okay, okay, Zhang Xiaoshuai, when a certain person came here, the general once said that Zhang Sheng is a very loyal person..." The two looked at each other for a long time, and they couldn't tell whether the little thief in front of them was stupid or not, Sun Qing. , I want to understand one thing. The purpose of my trip is wealth. Now, since the wealth is real and I cannot live without it, why should I care whether he is stupid or not? After praising him, Sun Qing took care of the valuables and gave them away without hesitation.
"Thank you, General, and thank you, Sun Shuai, for your praise." Zhang Sheng responded with a smile.
"Hahaha, Zhang Xiaoshuai, you don't have to be polite. If you have any difficulties in the future, just send someone over to inform the general or Sun, and we will help you out." Such a silly little fool must be protected.
"Shuai Sun, I have something going on that requires you to make the decision for me."
What I was waiting for was your words. When Zhang Sheng heard Sun Qing's words, he immediately climbed up the pole.
"Oh, tell me, why do you need Sun to make the decision for you?"
It's the right thing to take people's money and help them eliminate disasters.
"Sun Shuai, the Wulu people in the Hutuo Valley in front used the strong to bully the weak. They used the name of the general to blackmail me for grain supplies. I didn't see the general and Sun Shuai in person, so I didn't dare to deliver the supplies to him. Wulu was dissatisfied. , repeatedly peeping in the valley. Sun Shuai Mingjian, I have few people and weak strength, and I am unable to fight against him. I have been thinking for many days, and I can only hide if I can't afford to offend him. Therefore, I want to find another place to settle down near Zhending. I hope the general and Sun Handsome Zhunyun." Zhang Sheng stated his request.
"Ah...hehehe, I'm so handsome!"
To Zhending, the birthplace of the general? Is this considered a request?
After hearing Zhang Sheng's request, Sun Qing now understood that this little thief was really stupid. The other little thieves tried their best to stay away from the general's control, but what about the little thief in front of him? But if it is posted upwards, is there any reason why it is not allowed?
The business was settled and things were progressing exceptionally smoothly. Sun Qing prepared for his next departure.
"Zhang Sheng, prepare some manpower to escort the money, food and materials to accompany me to meet the general tomorrow. Haha, your benefits are indispensable."
"Sun Shuai, the supplies have been prepared a long time ago. However, there is no need for escorts. The general's manpower is enough."
"Can my manpower take them away? Zhang Sheng, could you, ahem, Zhang Sheng, I heard that you spent more than a thousand people a day and a night to get these supplies back, how could you take them away?"
Sun Qing was about to say that the other party was not stupid, but when he realized that this little thief was really stupid, he changed his mind again.
"What Sun Shuai said is true, but now, the only supplies left in the cave are money. The silk cloth has been partially worn by his men, and the grain has been eaten by everyone." Zhang Sheng answered bluntly.
"Have you finished eating the grain?" Sun Qing almost choked on her saliva when she heard Zhang Sheng's answer.
"I have indeed finished eating." Zhang Sheng responded with a smile.
"Hahahaha, how about finishing it all in one? Hahahaha..."
Sun Qing's anger that had just calmed down was instantly aroused again by the little thief's reply in front of him, and turned into laughter that echoed in the empty cave.
Unfortunately, the little thief was too naive!
When he and the general were playing rogue together, the little thief in front of him was still peeing and playing in the mud.
Want to act rogue in front of Weng Weng? There are no doors!
Zhang Sheng smelled the aroma of food floating into the cave, waited for Sun Qing's laughter to subside, stood up slowly, cupped his fists in front of Sun Qing and saluted, and then said: "Sun Shuai, please forgive me, most of the grain has indeed been eaten by everyone, and the rest will be eaten by everyone." It's only enough to sustain food in the valley for ten days. If Sun Shuai doesn't believe it, he can come out of the cave and have a look." After Zhang Sheng finished speaking, he made a gesture of invitation.
A pair of hanging eyes glared at the little thief with a fierce glare, and he stepped out of the cave. He wanted to see how more than a thousand people ate thousands of stones of grain in more than two months.
In a recess on the mountain wall in the middle of the valley, a row of large cauldrons and small cauldrons are lined up. Firewood is blazing, steam is steaming, and the aroma of rice is overflowing. There was a line of people of all ages, young and old, holding huge wooden bowls or clay pots in their hands and handing them over. They were filled with rice from the top of the post. They looked for it with smiles and started to gobble it up and start enjoying the meal.
Sun Qing looked at the situation in front of him, and his eyes nearly fell out of his sockets.
Finished? It seems to be true!
According to this way of eating, let alone six thousand shi, even 60,000 shi would not be able to withstand it.
"Sun Shuai, in today's world, the world is upside down. We people are like mayflies and our lives are like grass. The emperor looks at us like a flood, and he wants to kill us quickly. The big families see us like wild beasts, and they want to get rid of them." It makes me feel at ease. And what are we doing with our heads raised to fight against the officers and soldiers? What we want is nothing more than a full meal. If we lie down today, we may never see the sun tomorrow again. I I don’t want to treat them badly. Even if I live today and die tomorrow, I also want them to be a dead ghost. Sun Shuai, you can take away all the money in the valley. As for the grain, please Sun Shuai accept this note. , From now on, if I, Zhang, do not die one day, I will lead my brothers to fight against the big officials. I believe that one day, we will pay back the grain we owe the general and Sun Shuai."
Sun Qing was stunned for a moment before Zhang Sheng spoke to call him back to his senses. After saying this, he handed a wooden sign with writing on it to Sun Qing with a sincere face.
Sun Qing did not take the wooden sign, and kept looking at Zhang Sheng's body with a pair of hanging eyes.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that the little thief in front of him was not stupid, but wanted to play rough and tumble. Moreover, this little thief's ability to play rogue was something he had only seen in his life. He did things that others had no shame to do, and he did it without knowing it. Shame; he can speak openly and openly what others cannot easily say.
Scoundrel, he is not trying to be a scoundrel, but he is really a scoundrel.
Compared with the little thief in front of him, he, Sun, feels inferior...
