Jinghong Tower

Chapter 147 The thief is coming

In the next few days, He Ran took the remaining cups and went through Jinyang's current garrison situation.

The King of Jin took this battle very seriously, and now there are only 1,500 garrison troops remaining in Jinyang.

The 100 people led by He Dali have arrived in Fenzhou. These 100 people, plus the more than 50 people in the hands of Aunt Tao and Aunt Xing, are all the people He Ran can mobilize now.

With these people, even if they were lucky enough to capture Jinyang City, they would not be able to hold it. As long as other places in Jin came to support them, they would still be unable to defeat it.

Since you can't take the city, let's take the money.

One day later, He Dali led people to Jinyang, and Xinggu sent someone to get in touch with the nails placed in Prince Jin's palace.

The Jin Palace is divided into the middle road, the east road and the west road.

The middle road is where the King of Jin and his officials, big and small, work and host banquets. The Yin'an Palace is located on the middle road. The East Road is where the King of Jin and the old Princess Jin live. The King of Jin has no wives and concubines, and the Xiuyuan where the old Princess Jin lives. It is almost a deserted garden, so the East Road is the most deserted of the three roads.

The guards and chamberlains of the palace lived on the west road, and the maids and wives also lived here. It was just a separate courtyard, far away from the guards.

There are seven wells in Prince Jin's Mansion, two on each of the three east, middle and west roads, and one in the back garden.

There are three kitchens in Prince Jin's Mansion. The small kitchen used by Prince Jin and the old Princess Jin is located on the East Road. There is also a small kitchen in the Middle Road, which is used by officials. Sometimes Prince Jin holds banquets, which are also hosted by the Middle Road Kitchen.

As for West Road, it is the large kitchen in the palace. The guards and other servants all cook in the large kitchen on West Road.

The food cooked in the big kitchen is uniform. If someone wants to eat in the small kitchen, he needs to pay for it.

Tonight, the big kitchen is making steamed buns and millet porridge. The steamed buns have two kinds of fillings, radish lard residue and cabbage tofu filling.

The buns are all big buns, as big as a man's fist. There are four for each of the guards, two meat and two vegetables, two for each of the chambermaids and maids, half a bowl of old vinegar for each person, enough millet porridge, and old pickles for each person. piece.

The land of Jin was originally a prosperous land, but in recent years, in order to raise troops, the King of Jin had wiped out the common people layer by layer. Therefore, food like this is now available in the land of Jin, even for ordinary people in Jinyang City. It’s hard to eat, let alone the people farming in the countryside. It’s pretty good to have a meal of white noodles during the Chinese New Year.

As a result, the food in the palace became better and better, and even the rich people in the countryside did not dare to eat like this all day long.

Especially today's steamed buns, whether they are meat or vegetarian, are all very fragrant.

Therefore, everyone had a great time eating today, but as soon as they finished the last mouthful of porridge, someone ran to the toilet holding their stomachs.

There was no stopping this run, and even the master chef in the big kitchen ran away several times.

Everyone was only focused on having diarrhea and forgot to go to the big kitchen to ask for explanations.

This must be a problem with the big kitchen.

Although there are doctors in the palace, they are not there to treat the people on the West Road. When the people on the West Road are sick, they can only endure it or buy some medicine from outside.

But it's getting dark now. Where can I buy medicine? Someone suggested drinking hot water. Hot water can detoxify. Although this is not poisoning, it must be due to eating something unclean.

So everyone endured the abdominal pain and fetched water from the well to boil it. However, after drinking a bowl of hot water, the pain in the stomach seemed to be even worse.

The master chef in the kitchen was the first to discover the problem: "Look, this is not about our big kitchen, it's about the well water!"

But whether it was making noodles, washing vegetables, or even cooking porridge, water from the well was all used.

The guards' reaction was greater because they ate more. They ate twice as much as others, so they went to the toilet more often.

Tonight, there were more than 200 people eating on West Road, but there were only four toilets, which was not enough. Someone couldn't bear it any longer, so he pulled him up to the wall, and let people see him, and scolded him again. His stomach hurt when he was scolded, and his stomach hurt when he was scolded.

After struggling like this for almost two hours, everyone finally cleared away all the food and drinks they had eaten at night. Although their stomachs still hurt, it was not as serious as before.

Everyone was just dizzy, even the guards with martial arts skills were swaying when walking.

At this moment, the guard guarding the gate on the west road suddenly ran in, shouting as he ran: "Quick, come quickly, someone broke in at the east gate!"

The east side door is on the east road. There are usually more than 20 guards guarding it in shifts. How could someone break in?

The captain of the guard stood up and wanted to call people to gather, but as soon as he stood up, his vision went dark and he stumbled and fell to the ground.

The vice-captain saw him and helped him up, but he himself was not much better, and his feet were also weak.

When the guards finally reached the east road, they found that the matter was far more serious than they expected.

There were about a hundred masked bandits who were looting on the east road. Each one was carrying a big bag and snatched whatever they saw. They broke into King Jin's study and stuffed everything from the Treasure Pavilion into the bags.

One of them was even banging around looking for a mechanism.

The deputy captain was furious. How could a little thief be so bold? He even went to the prince's study to look for traps. He was looking for death.

The vice-captain swung his sword and struck, but the man slipped under his sword like a loach and came to grab his sword with his backhand.

Normally, the vice-captain would let someone seize the sword with bare hands, but today, he had no strength at all, his hands and feet were weak, and his stomach was throbbing in pain. After only two or three rounds, his sword was in that person's hand. inside.

The man winked at him. At this moment, the vice-captain felt that he must have gone crazy, because he actually thought that man's eyes were very beautiful, as if they were on the face of a beautiful woman.

How could such a shameless thief be a beautiful woman? He must have been dazzled by diarrhea.

He Ran: You are not afraid of using the tricks over time, but you are afraid of not using them well.

Take this for example, for diarrhea, as long as it is used properly, it is versatile.

He Ran picked up the inkstone on the table and slapped the deputy captain on the head. The deputy captain's head was broken and bleeding.

"See if you are ugly, let me let you live."

After such a big incident, King Jin couldn't spare him without being seriously injured.

At this moment, the deputy captain felt that this little thief had a pretty good character.

However, as soon as he fell, the thief took away the few taels of silver he had.

He Ran's knowledge of mechanism skills in the previous life was not in vain. He Ran found a secret compartment in King Jin's study. There were two boxes in the secret compartment. He Ran did not open them and threw them directly into the big bag.

Then, a chamberlain supervisor was pointed at a knife, crying and asked where the key to King Jin's private treasury was. He just shook his head but refused to say another word.

A guard rushed out from behind, raised his sword and stabbed. Hu Zhan was the first to strike with his sword, piercing the guard. The sword was pulled out, and blood sprayed all over the head waiter's face and body.
