But Tang Yuan also brought with him a few close relatives of the Tang family.
Everyone sighed in their hearts.
Then came even stronger anger. It was time to teach these natives a lesson and let them know who the real master was!
Xiao Heng asked everyone to go back and have a rest first. Father-in-law Sun also said that although Yang Xin was lustful, he was still smart. When he went to visit his lover, he would wait until that woman's husband went out for business.
He has already sent scouts over there, and they will come to inform us once there is any news. Before that, he should conserve his energy first.
After walking through several villages, everyone was really tired, so they went their separate ways.
Su Rong stayed behind and said succinctly, "I estimate that the number of people that Mr. Sun and his men can mobilize is only about 100 to 200. It is impossible to have more than that."
One or two hundred people, and this is based on the premise that Mr. Sun has good popularity and prestige. Otherwise, looking at Mr. Sun’s previous performance, we can see that ordinary natives dare not go against the upper class.
With so many people, the impact they can have is limited.
Xiao Heng understood what he meant. Seeing that he was frowning, he raised his eyebrows and said, "That's about right. There are so many people. They all have relatives and friends in the guard post. As long as they make a fuss, people won't be afraid."
Su Rong was indeed someone who had followed him for a long time. He immediately understood what he meant: "Arrange some people to sneak in?"
"Ensure the safety of Mr. Sun and his men, and prevent anyone from making a move." Xiao Heng gave a simple instruction, and then emphasized: "If someone makes a move, don't be afraid."
The implication is that we are not afraid of things not getting out of hand, but we are afraid of things not getting out of hand.
Su Rong understood what he meant and immediately went down to make arrangements.
In the next one or two days, Xiaobo's soldiers still came to stealthily gather information, but they were all arrested without exception.
After they caught the third group, they stopped sending people in a sneaky way.
On the fourth day, they sent an envoy and asked to see Xiao Heng.
Xiao Heng asked Cui Daru: "What position does this person hold?"
"He is a clerk who is responsible for drafting documents. His surname is He and he is called Mr. He." Cui Daru had already figured it out. He smiled and looked at Xiao Heng: "Your Highness, please listen to him. Your Highness, please hold back your anger."
As soon as I heard Cui Daru say this, I knew he was a country bumpkin with high self-esteem, so I just hummed.
In the evening, Xiao Heng met Mr. He.
Mr. He was indeed as Mr. Cui said, he was really extraordinary. When he met Xiao Heng, he first bowed and then asked Xiao Heng: "Since the time of Emperor Taizu, the court has allowed us natives to lead our own troops. Why do you want to change the order now that Your Highness has come?"
Xiao Heng sneered, "You also know that the court has been very kind to you over the years, but have you ever fulfilled what you promised the court? Councillor Yang openly instigated the people to besiege court officials. His intention is obvious! Don't we have the power to punish him when he is so ambitious? Your power was given to you by the court, but over the years, you have never been grateful. Instead, you have deceived your superiors and subordinates and have no idea what you are doing!"
Mr. He did not expect that His Highness would be so tough, and could not help shouting: "Our soldiers can only obey our own people! Besides, your son-in-law is still in our hands!"
"He will be gone soon!" Xiao Heng slammed the table. Sanjiu and Sansheng immediately controlled Mr. He and pushed him down onto the table without any hesitation.
Mr. He's face was distorted by the pressure, and he kept shouting angrily: "When two countries are at war, envoys should not be killed! What do you want?!"
Xiao Heng's eyes were cold: "You deserve to die if you say that! Two countries at war? Isn't Yunnan our territory? Come on, take him away!"
Sanjiusan Province handed the person over to the soldiers, and Xiao Heng said to Cui Daru: "In recent years, the court has been lenient to the natives, to this extent."
They are so generous that they really think of themselves as an independent small country.
No wonder Senator Yang was so bold before.
Isn’t it? He probably thinks he is the king of Kunming.
Cui Daru stroked his beard and said, "Your Highness has foresight. If you want to suppress the rebellion, the foundation is still on the natives. This time is a great opportunity."
Xiao Heng nodded.
Just one lead left.
That day, the scout sent back news.
The fuse is ready to be ignited.
Xiao Heng selected more than 300 people and headed straight to Southwest Village.
In the Southwest Village, Yang Xin was hugging his old lover. He had been single for quite a few days and now that he was satisfied, he sighed and fell on the bed.
The woman pushed him in dissatisfaction: "Why haven't you come in these few days? You bastard, you've fallen for some other woman nearby, haven't you? I'm telling you, I won't agree to that!"
Yang Xin and this woman were just like dry firewood, they were so compatible somehow, and they had never broken off the relationship for so many years. When he heard her words, he touched her chin and said, "Alright, alright, you're always jealous. I'm so busy now, how can I have the mind to cheat on you?"
The woman glanced at him coquettishly: "I don't see you being busy at ordinary times, why are you suddenly so busy recently?"
Yang Xin was still a little upset when talking about this matter: "What do you know? Our boss was arrested by the court, and the court also sent a senior official to take over the garrison! Isn't this just stealing our food? The higher-ups are busy now, and those people refused to do so, so they detained the senior official. Now they are preparing to negotiate with the court. I stole the opportunity to escape, otherwise, do you think you can see me?"
Seeing how confident he was, the woman was a little stunned.
She straightened up and said with a sigh, "Hasn't our tribe leader always been in charge of our soldiers? Why is the court sending their officials to take charge now?"
Yang Xin was very annoyed: "That's right, I really feel annoyed when I talk about this!"
The two exchanged a few words, and Yang Xin was unwilling to talk anymore: "Stop talking, stop talking. I'm really annoyed. I'm going to take a nap first. I have to rush back to the barracks later. I'm afraid that the superiors won't be able to find me and will take it out on me."
The woman looked aggressive, but she was actually very sensible, so she stopped making a fuss and lay down obediently with him.
The two had just closed their eyes when the door was suddenly kicked open with a bang. The loud noise shook the bed, and they both subconsciously huddled together. Yang Xin was a soldier after all, so he came to his senses after a brief moment of fear, and suddenly propped himself up and asked, "Who?!"
"Your seventh uncle!" A shoe suddenly flew in from outside and hit Yang Xin on the head, making him dizzy.
Yang Xin was immediately furious: "Fuck you, get out here!"
