The more Mao Wenzhi shouted, the more joyful it was. Many people looked at it, Ye Xiaotian couldn't bear it anymore, seeing the peddler weighing the dried persimmons, he hurriedly dropped some money, and didn't care about the change, so he picked it up and ran away in a hurry. Ye Xiaotian pulled Mao Wenzhi to escape into an alley, and then asked angrily: "Can't you wait a while, what are you yelling for?"
Mao asked Zhinahan authentically: "Why, you are not a thief, why don't you let me shout?"
"I... hey! I can't tell you bastard. What's the matter?"
As soon as Mao Wenzhi heard him ask this, he immediately became excited: "Brother, I just sent that little lady Ye up the mountain, and happened to meet Yunfei and the others coming back. So I volunteered to take the job."
Ye Xiaotian was pleasantly surprised: "Yunfei is back? How is it? Did he find out... news?" Even though there was no one around, Ye Xiaotian swallowed the word "one dragon" abruptly at the critical moment. There is no room for sloppy secrets.
Mao Wenzhi grinned and said, "That's right! Who is Yunfei? As long as he gets into the woods, there is nothing he can't do!"
"Hahaha… "
Ye Xiaotian laughed loudly, patted Mao Wenzhi's shoulder hard, and said, "I'm going up the mountain now!" Ye Xiaotian turned around and left, walked a few steps, then turned back suddenly, and stuffed the persimmon cake he bought into Mao Wenzhi's hand , Said: "Take it, I bought it for Yaoyao." After speaking, Ye Xiaotian rushed up the mountain in a hurry.
In Ye Xiaotian's huge house, which looks like a mountain villa, a rockery pool has already taken shape, and a group of seedling warriors are laying a layer of rolling logs on the ground, pushing the selected strange stones from a distance.
Ye Xiaotian squatted under a mound of soil dug from a pond, listening to Hua Yunfei's explanation while drawing the terrain. After Hua Yunfei finished explaining, Ye Xiaotian frowned slightly.
Hua Yunfei breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "There are about two hundred people in the cottage, and they are very familiar with the surrounding terrain. It is absolutely not advisable to sneak attack at night. As long as there is any movement, we will be the ones who suffer. We can only do it in the daytime, and in the daytime We can’t achieve the effect of a surprise attack, if we have few people, we will definitely receive fierce counterattacks, if we have many people, they will have no way to find them if they drill into the swamp.”
Ye Xiaotian frowned and said, "Can't you figure out the scope of that swamp?"
Hua Yunfei said: "It's very difficult! It will take at least three to five days to figure out the scope of the swamp. This is just to figure out the scope. We can't be sure where the road in the swamp leads, so If you want to use the method of encirclement, the only way is to encircle the entire area. In this case, there are no tens of thousands of people who can't do it. They were noticed."
Ye Xiaotian breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and looked at the crude map drawn on the ground with his hands on his hips, his brows were frowned into a big pimple. A young Miao warrior muttered a few words beside him, Ye Xiaotian glanced at him, and asked the Miao man who knew Chinese: "What did he say?"
The man smiled wryly and said: "He said... he has found their lair, just kill them in, what are mothers-in-law doing?"
Ye Xiaotian thought for a while, then shook his voice: "Yes! Since you can't take advantage of it, then go in!"
Hua Yunfei said worriedly: "Brother, if this is the case, there is no guarantee that the members of the forest will be safe, in case they tear up the meat ticket and escape..."
Ye Xiaotian said: "They have already made a condition to the Lin family, asking for five thousand taels of silver, and asking them to send them to the designated place, and they will release them only after receiving the money. In this case, no one can guarantee whether they will release them or not. Yes, Yilong has always had a bad reputation.
We are not even sure whether Lin Yuanwai is still alive, and neither Tongren Mansion nor the county magistrate wants the Lin family to pay the ransom, otherwise... the Lin family will pay the ransom, even if Lin Yuanwai is released, the government will have to face it dull. "
Ye Xiaotian said word by word: "I don't care about the face of the government, but I care about how many people this Long will harm in the future. This time, we have worked so hard to find his lair. This opportunity is once in a lifetime, so we can't miss it!"
Ye Xiaotian swept away the map on the ground, and said: "Soldiers are precious, you are ready, I will go to Huazhi County and discuss sending troops!"
※※※
As soon as Hua Qingfeng picked up her job, a maid came to report that it was Ye Xiaotian who asked to see her.
Hua Qingfeng ate his job heavily, and said angrily, "No see!"
Su Ya glanced at him, and said indifferently: "What's the matter, I lost my temper again in a good manner."
Hua Qingfeng snorted coldly, and said: "What's the matter with him that he can't tell me all day long, but he has to wait until he is released from duty?"
Su Ya filled a bowl of soup for him, gently pushed it in front of him, and said, "Since we are here to see you at this time, it must be an important business. Mr. Xiang, let's meet."
Hua Qingfeng thought for a while, took a sip from the soup bowl, stood up angrily, and said, "See! Tell him to wait for me in the third hall!"
Hua Qingfeng had already heard about the scene at the gate of the county government office. Feng Laifu was the one being teased, but he, the main witness, was also disgraced. Hua Qingfeng, who was furious and angry, wanted to deny the validity of the document and re-examine it, but Feng Laifu died down. He weighed it secretly, and the master Wang hadn't made a move yet. Don't look at this old guy who has always been quiet and always in trouble. As a slicker, his strength and background should not be underestimated. If he really wanted to flex his wrists, he had no chance of winning, so he simply pretended to be deaf and dumb.
Ye Xiaotian once spoke to Mr. Wang's niece in front of the county government office. From Hua Qingfeng's point of view, Ye Xiaotian naturally intervened, so he was quite displeased with him. When he arrived at the third hall, when he saw Ye Xiaotian, he said in a strange manner: "Master Ye, what's wrong with saying it openly when you are on duty, and you have to secretly interview him?"
Ye Xiaotian was stunned, and thought to himself: "Why is this tortoise so angry, how can it choke when it speaks?"
Ye Xiaotian said: "My lord, it is really inconvenient to announce this matter to the public."
Hua Qingfeng said disdainfully: "A gentleman is magnanimous. He has nothing to say to others. We are officials and directors of public courts, and there is no reason for us to keep secrets."
Ye Xiaotian bowed his head to him, and said sincerely: "What the county lord taught me is that I have been taught. Then wait for the opening of the office tomorrow, and then I will ask you in public to show your troops how to wipe out the gangsters. Resign !"
After Ye Xiaotian finished speaking, he turned around and left, Hua Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, and quickly called out: "Come on slowly! Ye Dianshi, stay here, Ye Dianshi, please stay here!"
Ye Xiaotian kicked the door outside and kicked in the door, turned around and asked with a surprised face: "Is there anything else, sir?"
Hua Qingfeng chased after her with a smile on her face, and said: "Ah! The county is so busy and confused that it has forgotten such an important event. Of course, such a thing should not be announced to the public."
Ye Xiaotian hesitated and said: "But... a gentleman is open and honest, we are officials and directors of public courts, so we shouldn't steal in private."
Hua Qingfeng blushed, and said haha: "If you don't keep secrets, you will lose your ministers. If you don't keep secrets, you will lose your body. If you don't keep secrets, you will be harmed. The use of troops to suppress bandits is military, and it should be kept secret. Ya, hahaha..."
Hua Qingfeng sat Ye Xiaotian on the chair, after all, it was a big deal, Ye Xiaotian was not a person who didn't know the importance, so he stopped making gestures, and after sitting down, he told Hua Qingfeng what he found out.
Ye Xiaotian was vague, Hua Qingfeng didn't know that Ye Xiaotian sent so many people, and they used all the elites of jungle warfare. He only thought that it was a certain eyeliner he hired, and secretly said in his heart: "This guy has a way. Over the years , the imperial court has nothing to do with that dragon, and he has found out the whereabouts of Long Lingyun in such a short period of time." Thinking of Ye Xiaotian's plan again, Hua Qingfeng frowned slightly.
Ye Xiaotian said: "Why, do you have a different opinion on the idea of the next official?"
Hua Qingfeng shook his head and said, "No! There has been news from Tongren that the bandits have postponed the payment of the ransom, and the reason is unknown. The Lin family thinks that Lin Yuanwai is in danger. Moreover, even if he still Alive, although the magistrate wants to rescue a living father-in-law, he is also worried that he will lose his prestige, and it is not feasible to compromise with them."
Ye Xiaotian said: "In that case, then..."
Hua Qingfeng said: "This county is just thinking, relying on the soldiers of our Huxian County Inspection Department, whether they can deal with these gangsters, if they are defeated by a team of people, then steal chickens It’s not worth losing a handful of rice.”
Ye Xiaotian doesn't know the combat power of the inspection department of this county, not to mention the soldiers under the inspector Luo, even if they are well-trained frontier soldiers and well-equipped Beijing camps, even if they are willing to stop and fight you in the depths of the jungle In a battle, it is difficult to prevail without an absolute numerical advantage.
So Ye Xiaotian didn't expect to rely on these patrolling officers and soldiers, what he really relied on was the seedlings, but the officers and soldiers had to come forward, and their participation was a legal act. Moreover, without the participation of officers and soldiers, he managed to capture these thieves. Where did he master such a force? It is bound to cause endless troubles.
Ye Xiaotian didn't say his plan first, but asked instead: "Then what is the plan of the county lord?"
Huazhi County pondered and said: "This county thinks that this matter should be reported to Tongren Zhang Zhifu, and the local soldiers of Tongren should be transferred. This is not enough. It should also be reported to the Procuratorate and the Chief Commissioner for punishment. Please ask Guizhou to command the envoy to transfer all the way. The officers and soldiers are coming."
Ye Xiaotian said: "If this is the case, let alone how long it will take, will a dragon's troops move during this period, even if they are still there, how can they not notice such a big movement?"
Hua Zhixian said: "This group of thieves are not ordinary rat thieves. With our strength in Hu County, it is difficult to bring them to justice. Once the thieves are not caught, they will lose troops and generals. How will we explain to the higher authorities?"
Ye Xiaotian knew that Hua Qingfeng didn't dare to take responsibility, so he sneered and said, "My lord, if you report this matter to the higher-ups for a decision, it will definitely delay the opportunity of the battle. At that time, the responsibility will still belong to our Huxian county. The lower officials have said that they will do their best." Undertake it, but a black yarn with a classic history can settle the storm in this case
At that time, Master Wang and Xu Xiancheng will have their own excuses, but you, the magistrate, cannot avoid it. Now the lower official has an idea, as long as the adults agree, the possibility of success is very high. My lord, others have a way out, but you don't. Success is a great credit. In this game, will you play with me or not! "
