Chapter 85 Cooking Crane Walk (14)

"I don't know Jin... I don't know why my lord came to my mountain gate?"

"Come to steal 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 to be in charge. Now there are four teams, twelve groups, 150 Jiangdu battalion soldiers, plus one team, three groups, [-] Jinwu guards, seven Danyang County government officials, nineteen Lishui County government officials, and eight The brocade-clothed cavalry from Jing’antai in the eastern capital, plus a left-behind son of Zhou’s deputy who can dispatch Jiangdu’s camp at any time... I ask them to make up their own minds, and those who can take the initiative to come out and talk to me face to face, that is Confiscation of the house can also be done after discussion, otherwise, nothing will be left behind...the time limit is before noon, we can wait for a while."

That's right, the sky cleared after the snow. This morning, when the army suddenly surrounded the main house of the Danyang Yu family in Lishui, it was a middle-aged man who came out to negotiate, not a few years of the Yu family's direct line. The elders were not even those talented Jiangdong talents who were known as Yu's Sanshui back then.

After listening to the general idea, Du Guan was so frightened that his face was ashes, his limbs trembled, and he didn't dare to say a word, so he staggered and turned back to the door, and there was no movement until the sun was approaching due south, which attracted the surrounding soldiers eager to try.

"Show off your courage, Mr. Zhou."

Seeing this shape, Zhang Xing became a little impatient, but complained to Mr. Zhou Xingfan Zhou. "Let them be honest, don't be ashamed of yourself here as if you have never seen the world. I came to raid the house, and it must be properly distributed... If it is really chaotic, the profit will be uneven, and you will feel that you are at a disadvantage. Damaged objects, lost money and food, who is good for it?"

Zhou Xingfan had no choice but to restrain himself.

There is no other way, in order to make it happen in one fell swoop and create a surprise effect, this time the house raid was divided into three groups, Bai Yousi didn't mention it all the way, Hu Yan took the golden order arrow all the way, and then Zhang Xing took Mr. Zhou again All the way—in other words, Mr. Zhou was originally Zhang Xing's golden ordering arrow.

However, just when Zhou Xingfan left to restrain his father's subordinates, the door opened again, and then several people who looked like housekeepers surrounded a pale middle-aged man in white clothes and walked out from inside.

"I have met the imperial envoy with my body in white clothes." The visitor lost his mind and bowed in front of Huang Puma.

"Where do we not meet each other in life?" Zhang Xing was slightly taken aback, but immediately sneered, and then slightly cupped his hands. "Bai Shou Zhang Xing, I have met Mr. Hen Shui of Yu Clan Sanshui, goodbye on the river, it looks like you are still healthy."

The other party raised his head in astonishment, looked at it for a while, and then, for some reason, covered his face and wept on the spot: "It turns out that what the imperial envoy said that day was true... After I escaped, I still felt that the imperial envoy was scaring me. I was afraid of embarrassment, so I didn't tell family."

"Fortunately, I didn't tell you, otherwise it would be really troublesome." Zhang Xing didn't bother to explain. "Mr. Henshui, if you tell me, you will inevitably suffer a bloodbath today... It's not as quick as we are."

Yu Henshui shook his head, shed tears everywhere, it took a lot of effort to contain these emotions, and then tried his best to correct: "The imperial envoy said that he wanted to raid the house, but he had to make some things clear...why did you suddenly Want to rob the house? The imperial court...the imperial court...Why did the imperial court suddenly? We didn't..."

In the end, he was choked up and couldn't speak.

"Mr. Henshui, the two of us hit it off right away, we are like close brothers, there is nothing we cannot talk about."

Zhang Xing was condescending on Huang Puma's horse and treated him 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's just that the seven counties in Jiangdong have caused some trouble here, and there is a lot of food shortage. The imperial court sent us down to collect food. It turned out that This basket is too big, there is really nothing to do, no food can be distributed anywhere. Then you see, the Jiangdong tyrants were all killed by Yang Bin when he suppressed the rebellion that day, and only the common people and you are left, but It would be a shame to ask the common people to pay food again, so I have to suffer you."

Yu Henshui shook his head: "I don't understand."

"With your family background, it's normal not to understand." Zhang Xing sighed. "Then you know how...the higher ups want food, and they are afraid that the people will rebel, but you are useless, so they have to let you out."

Yu Henshui thought for a while, but was still at a loss: "I understand what you said, but if it's just a lack of food, why can't you just borrow food? Do you have to search the house?"

"Because I borrowed food directly, you are definitely not willing to borrow it, and you need it urgently." Zhang Xing became more and more impatient. "So first raid the house, as long as the house is raided, can the food still go out?"

At this point, seeing that the other party's eyes were red again, and Zhou Xingfan also came back, Zhang Xing was completely impatient, and pointed at the sun directly and scolded: "Don't cry, I said, if we can't talk before noon, we will Enlarge the soldiers to go in... You are crying and crying here, don’t you really want the 300-year-old Wenhua of the Yu Clan in Danyang to be destroyed in order to save some food?”

Yu Henshui immediately stopped the tears forcibly: "Zhang Baishou said, is it easy to discuss?"

"Yes."

Zhang Xing sighed, and then raised his voice to announce. "What I mean is this. If we don't want us to use force, we must ensure that all the food stored in your home, including your houses in the counties and cities, is handed over. As for the place where you come to surround, don't talk about stored food, chickens, ducks and sheep. Pigs, even the bacon and salted fish for the Chinese New Year, must be handed in together. The geese for practicing calligraphy and the cranes for viewing are edible anyway, and they only need to be handed over as food. , is a death!

"All the copper coins in the family are also taken out and distributed to the soldiers, Jinwu guards, and yamen servants, and none of them can be kept. Half of all the gold and silver must be taken out and distributed to the officers and Jinyi patrols... But this is not guaranteed, because gold and silver There may be more, so the broken money may have to be distributed... This can't be hidden, if I hide it, I will find it, and I will be fined ten times!
"Finally, as you know, this Mr. Zhou and I are also considered to be of the Wenhua generation, so you have to take out ten pieces of calligraphy and paintings that have been handed down from your family. Mr. Zhou and I each have five pieces, and then ten pieces of jewels. To give to Lai Gong, there are five more to give to our Zhongcheng... Also, we need an extra good horse to accompany the brocade patrol.

If you deal with it like this, I guarantee that your house will be safe and your foundation will not be lost, but if you dare to resist, it will be a knife and an arrow, and you will be killed by the Yu family... Do you understand? "

Yu Henshui thought for a while and asked seriously, "How can Zhang Baishou ensure fair execution?"

"Open the gate, tear down the front yard wall, and I will lead [-] soldiers in. In front of everyone, the decision will be made... If you do something like this, even if you make a mistake, it will be enough to convince everyone." Zhang Xingang said right.

"So, I'll go back and report now." Yu Henshui cupped his hands, and was about to turn back with the support of the left and right officers.

But when he walked to the gate of his own house, he remembered something, and he turned his head and cupped his hands again: "There is one last question, please tell Zhang Baishou, is it just our Yu family, or the eight Jiangdong masters all together?"

"together."

Zhang Xingzai immediately smiled knowingly. "After copying your house, I'm going to copy Huan's house, and there are two other people who went to surround Chen's and Gu's houses, and they were all rude people to copy... But, to be honest, both Wang's and Xie's There is also a master of condensing alchemy, I need to use you as an example, and we will deal with it at the end..."

Yu Henshui was determined, and immediately turned back to the house. After a while, after Zhang Xing ordered all the crossbows to be erected, the gate of the ancestral house of the Yu family in Danyang opened before noon.

PS: Thanks to the classmate of Evil Spirit Reappearance and Li Lu's cuteness, and the reward from a certain teacher of a big V... I wish everyone a New Year's greeting in advance.
