retaliate

Chapter 199
Yue Er let his son sit back to the old place, bought him another piece of caramel, stroked his head and said: "My son is smart, but don't lie when you grow up."

Yue Sanshu took a sip of caramel, "Aye, Mommy said you are an old liar."

Yue Er's face darkened, "Your mother is talking nonsense."

"No, A Niang has said many times that she was deceived by you back then."

That woman!

Yue Er put on a straight face, "Besides, the caramel will be gone."

Yue Sanshu took a big bite, and handed over the remaining half of caramel, "Aye, eat it."

"Damn, Aye ate your caramel, and I have to give you another piece later, otherwise you will find your mother to sue when you go home. Damn it, you cheated that big bite."

Yue Er was a little depressed, feeling that the future of his youngest son was a bit dangerous.

"Erro."

"En." Yue Sanshu had caramel in his mouth, savoring the sweetness carefully.

"No matter how good a liar is, he will eventually miss, so whatever you do, don't lie to others."

"Ok!"

"Hey! Can't your cloth be cheaper?"

The two men turned back again.

Yue Sanshu leaned on the cart with his back to the street, listening to two familiar voices, he felt that the caramel was getting sweeter and sweeter.

Yue Er said dully: "I weave it at home, no matter how cheap it is, it will be a loss."

The two men were acting casually, but just as they were about to leave, Yue Er pointed at the waist of one of them and said, "It was cut."

The man lowered his head, "What was cut?"

When entering the city, one must beware of the money bag being stolen, so men put the money bag at the waist inside the jacket, just blocked by the belt, and when they need money, they can get the money bag out from the chest.

At this moment, there was an opening at the waist of the outer garment, and the man stretched his hand in, his complexion changed.

"The purse is gone."

Another man complained: "Tell you to be careful, hey! Fortunately, my..."

He reached into his arms, his expression changed drastically.

"Where's my purse?"

Ha ha!

Yue Er said dully: "Have you been hit by someone?"

"Yes!"

"That's right."

The two men were dumbfounded, "How can I live without money?"

Yue Er said blankly: "The clothes can be used as clothes."

"Is it okay to be naked?"

"No, it's indecent and will be sent to jail and spanked."

The two were out of action.

Yue Er scratched his head, "Mingfu asked me to be hospitable. I could have lent you money, but I was afraid that I would be beaten by my wife when I went home without a mortgage."

"This……"

Later, the two men quietly took out the dagger and handed it over.

"Fifty coins." Yue Er said.

"What? This is a good knife, don't even think about it without a hundred dollars, two hundred dollars for two."

"This is a mortgage, and you will have to go back later."

Ha!
The two felt that the old man in front of them was very considerate, so they mortgaged the dagger that was brought into the city in violation of the law.But after the two took the money, they felt something was wrong.

We are here to make trouble, but as soon as we entered the city, we lost our purse and then our knife.This is wrong!
"Mingfu said to be hospitable, but this old man won't say it." Yue Er said honestly.

"Let's redeem it tomorrow, are you still here?"

"The old man has been setting up a stall here, and all the neighbors know each other."

Yue Er smiled at the stall owners on both sides, and the stall owners on both sides were also smiling.

"These two were probably deceived by Yue Er."

After the two left, Yue Er asked his son to watch the stall, and he quietly followed.

The two men wandered around the city for a long time, talked to many people, but couldn't find a pattern.

In the end they entered the reverse journey.

Yue Er turned around, sighed and said, "You two were not even born when this old man was playing tricks like this!"

He then went to the county office.

"The two asked about wood and paint, all of which can be burned."

Cao Ying asked: "How do you determine that they want to set fire?"

"When they ask questions, they will cover their mouths or touch their noses from time to time. This is lying. But why lie when asking these questions? Just ask."

Cao Ying coughed dryly, "Is it lying to cover your mouth or touch your nose?"

Yue Er nodded, and a breath of an expert came over, "That's how the villain was when he first started deceiving people."

Cao Ying went into the backyard and looked for Yang Xuan.

"Those two people inquired about the wood of the store, the other inquired about the paint, or the situation of guarding the construction site at night, sir, I'm afraid there is a real problem."

"Keep an eye on them. In addition, the sergeants patrolling the streets at night will continue as usual. Ask King Wei. If he is willing, let him lead the guards to hide in the house near the shop and act according to the signal."

"Yes!"

Cao Ying resigned.

As soon as he turned around, Yang Xuan said, "Old Cao."

"Mr. Lang." Cao Ying turned around.

Yang Xuan said: "You are quite lonely by yourself, why don't you find a woman to live with?"

"Lang Jun's great career has not been accomplished, and this old man has absolutely no such thoughts."

Cao Ying suddenly lowered her gaze, looking at her hand touching her nose.

……

In the afternoon, Yue Er closed the stall, pushed the cart and his son back home.He said proudly, "I earned two more knives today."

Mrs. Zhang had just finished her work, and when she checked the accounts, she wondered, "Why are there so few sales today?"

Yue Er squatted there and laughed, "I have something to do today."

Mrs. Zhang was angry, "There are two children in the family. Although the eldest does not cost money to study, he should go out decently! The clothes and shoes are all good; the second child is getting older now, and he eats badly. Also, the two children I have to marry a lady in the future, if I don’t save money now, what will I marry in the future? Marry a pig?”

Yue Er just laughed.

The feeling of punching the quilt made Mrs. Zhang even more angry, "After the eldest and second child marry a woman, they have to have their own houses, and when they have children, they have to prepare more houses... How can our house be enough to live in?" ? If you don’t save money now, the whole family will live together in the future?”

"Hey!" Yue Er smiled proudly.

"Still laughing!" Mrs. Zhang said bitterly, "I'll let you sleep on the roof then!"

Yue Er raised his eyebrows, "I discovered two thieves for my husband earlier."

Mrs. Zhang was startled, "What kind of thief? Stealing things?"

"No, a thief who wants to set fire to the city."

"Isn't it easy to set fires in the city?" Mrs. Zhang wondered, "As soon as the fire was lit, the family members discovered it, and called the neighbors and the sergeants patrolling the city. The county also taught what kind of isolation zone to set up. Besides, several places are separated by fire." Yes, even if it is set on fire, it will not burn much."

"The shop is next to it!" Yue Er said: "A lot of wood and paint have been piled up inside. If there is a fire, it can burn to the front, back and both sides in the blink of an eye. Tsk tsk! This is going to burn the whole city!"

"You found it?"

"Ok!"

"Have you ever complained?"

"Naturally."

Mrs. Zhang rubbed her hands together, "Mingfu treated us well, those lowly dog ​​slaves couldn't stand it, so they wanted to destroy it, I'll go buy wine."

"I want good wine!" Yue Er salivated.

"understood."

"Aye." Yue Dashu came home from school.

After hearing this, Yue Dashu said: "Aye, there are no county schools in many places in Chenzhou! The Ming government runs schools for us, and the food in the county is much worse. It is said that even the Ming government wants to eat a meal of mutton. You have to find an excuse. Aye, the Ming government has treated us really well."

"Ok!"

Yue Er nodded, "Aye knows."

Later, Yue Er went to the county office.

Handing over the two short knives, Yue Er lowered his head, "The villain was born greedy earlier, thinking that the two of them would surely die, he could quietly collect these two knives and resell them to make money."

The cunning of the common people!Cao Ying smiled and said, "Why do you want to hand it over again?"

Yue Er lowered his head, and felt ashamed for the first time, "Although the villain was originally a liar, liars also have rules. Good people can't lie to you, and you can't lie to people who are good to you, otherwise the sky will be struck by lightning. The son was studying in the county school, and when he came back, he told the villain that the Ming government couldn’t even eat mutton for running the school. The villain looked at the child’s eyes at that time, and wanted to find a way to sneak in..."

His old face was flushed, "Mingfu is treating us well!"

Cao Ying watched him leave, her heart moved slightly.

Later he found Yang Xuan and relayed Yue Er's words.

"Lang Jun, this is enlightenment!" Cao Ying said with emotion: "The so-called enlightenment of officials in the past is to persuade learning and guide good people. They talk more and do less. You only do things but don't talk, but there is peace." Simple style."

Lao Cao is still somewhat idealistic...Yang Xuan said: "The people have to eat and wear warm clothes before you can teach them. They are hungry and shivering in the cold wind. What do you think of etiquette and shame? Can you hear it?"

He said those two sentences in the Guozijian.

"The storehouse knows the etiquette, and the food and clothing are sufficient to know the honor and disgrace."

Cao Ying remained silent for a long time, then cupped her hands, "I would like to be taught."

Dinner was Houtou, the old thief squatted under the eaves, sniffing, "The smell of beef."

The slaughter of farming cattle is strictly prohibited in the Tang Dynasty, but this is a grassland, and cattle are not a rare thing here.

In the meat and bone soup, the gray Hoto reminded Yang Xuan of the gourmet show in the scroll, and all kinds of noodles made people greedy.

Have a sip of the soup first, it's delicious.

Add a few stalks of Hoto, which is quite chewy.

Although Yang Xuan made ramen, Yiniang still prefers to make traditional Hoto.

"Delicious." Cao Ying praised.

"It's delicious!" The old thief's flattery went up to a higher level.

But Yi Niang didn't respond.

"It's delicious." Wang Lao Er said, and Yiniang said proudly, "It looks really delicious."

The son of a family of treacherous ministers is honest and sincere.

And five miles away from the city, Sanbaiqi was also eating.

They ate dry food and drank water while eating.

Dong Huan is the leader of the three hundred cavalry. He is looking ahead while eating.

In the darkness, someone asked: "What if the city can't light the fire tonight?"

Dong Huan said, "Then tomorrow."

"We still have to open the city gate!"

……

A little further away, Sanqianqi was also having dinner.

The same is dry food.

The two brothers Hua Zhuo and Wa Hai sat on the ground, and their treatment was naturally different, there was dried meat, cheese, and milk wine.

Wa Hai had eaten early, and said, "This matter makes it easier for me to enter the city."

Hua Zhuo shook his head, "I think so too, but I'm afraid you will be recognized by them."

Wahai sighed, "Back then you dared to raid the leader's tent with more than a dozen people, surrounded by more than a hundred guards, but you refused to turn back and killed the leader in the end. What about your courage back then? But it dissipated after you became a Khan for a long time Yet?"

Hua Zhuo took a sip of the milk wine, his eyes filled with memories, "Back then we were a small tribe. If the leader hadn't exploited too much, I wouldn't have thought of killing people in the past. But he is too ruthless! He asks for too many cattle, sheep and horses every year. We starve to death, and if we don’t give to the leader, we will die.”

That year, Hua Zhuo was still young, a newborn calf, and the small tribe could not bear the contribution demanded by the leader, so he finally chose to assassinate the leader.

In that battle, Hua Zhuo rushed forward without hesitation.After beheading the leader, he came out with the leader's head in his hand, and ordered the guards to kneel down.

After a while, except for Wahai, there was no one standing in front of him.

"As long as you are ruthless enough, there is nothing in this world that can stop us!" Hua Zhuo drank it down and threw the wine bag on the ground, "Wahai, if you want to be a master, you have to keep forging ahead. Tanzhou is in control? It's all because of inconsistency."

Wahai shook his head, "Everyone has their own ambitions, and it is impossible to be of one mind. Besides, if we really can be of one mind, who will listen to? In order to listen to whom, sooner or later they will be killed."

Hua Zhuo said lightly: "But what if we can unify the three major departments?"

Wahai was startled, "You..."

Hua Zhuo smiled and said: "Do you think I became a Khan, so I was depressed and only wanted to enjoy myself? I have been thinking about how to unify the three major ministries. Last time Yang Xuan sent troops to kill two merchants and killed one Small tribe. Wahai, those merchants roaming around the grasslands, they will call me a despicable person who only cares about asking for contributions but doesn’t know how to protect the tribe.”

Wahai was silent.

"If you don't change all of this, let alone unify the three major departments, sooner or later there will be big problems inside Vache."

Only then did Wa Hai speak, "Yang Xuan shot viciously."

"Yes, so I can only be more vicious than him." Hua Zhuo grinned, "The internal agents who worked so hard to buy in the city should also be used."

"Yang Xuan opened the door to do business, and he didn't care about the people who came into the city. This gave us a chance."

"More than [-] people have mixed into the city. They are all dead soldiers. Once the fire breaks out tonight, they will take advantage of the chaos in the city and attack the city gate. Once the city gate is opened, three hundred riders will take advantage of the situation and attack. Let's follow And here, Wahai..."

Hua Zhuo's eyes were burning, "Don't forget, when the Jibo tribe attacked Zhangyu County, they were defeated by Yang Xuan. Once peace is broken, when Yang Xuan's head is flying on our banner, I will become the leader of the grassland. Heroes, khans in everyone's hearts!"

There was also joy in Wahai's eyes.

"With such power and influence, He Lianchun will also have to pay attention to him if he takes advantage of the situation and calls on the three major ministries to join forces to plot against Chenzhou."

"When we were approaching the city, that coquettish fox forced us to withdraw. Do you know what I was thinking at that time?"

"Hate! Hate that we are not strong enough!"

"Yang Xuan only wants to do business to make money. There are countless cars and horses in the city, and the population has also increased a lot. Once a fire breaks out, the chaos in the city can be imagined."

Hua Zhuo got up and looked contemptuously, "Wahai, I will become the khan on the grassland, and I can still hold my head high in the face of Beiliao. Sooner or later, I will replace their khan!"

……

The night was getting darker.

At the top of the city, Li Han squatted there, quite dissatisfied in his heart.

In his opinion, he should let himself preside over such matters. As for Yang Xuan, he should just be in charge.But Yang Xuan assigned him to the top of the city to guard against the enemy's attack on the city gate.

The key is not to drink.

King Wei was even more furious.

As the number one expert in the city, Yang Xuan actually let him hide in a private house instead of leading the cavalry to charge.

The key is not to drink.

what!
When did this king drink so well?
Suddenly there was movement outside.

A man turned back towards the room with his hand on his lips.

"Shh!"

Outside, a few black shadows approached the shop furtively after waiting for the sergeants patrolling the city to pass by.

As the shop walked along, several shadows separated and walked to the side.

look at each other.

Ready to light.

They were just about to take out the tools for arson when they heard the sound of chattering.

Who is so loud?
The black shadow at the head was furious and just wanted to stand up.

puff!
The fire was rising in the middle of the long street.

Fire down.

boom!
A fire was suddenly lit.

The fire soared into the sky.

And the fire is the signal to do it.

Several shadows stood there.

We didn't light the fire!

"Kill!"

The direction of the city gate shouted and killed all day long.

Just as the black shadows were about to ignite, the door of the side dwelling opened.

A burly man came out first.

Holding a huge knife, he said with a sinister smile, "This king is here..."

Whoosh whoosh!
A rain of arrows flew behind him.

A few shadows shot down with arrows.

King Wei: "..."

After a while, King Wei's roar resounded throughout Taiping City.

"Miss Ganni!"
