Queen of Nongmen: Hexagrams determine the universe

Chapter 229
"Come in." Ye Qiongdan said.

The yamen servant came in, took out a letter from his pocket, and handed it to Ye Qiongdan.

Seeing that the yamen servant was sweating profusely, Xiang girl went to the kitchen and poured him a bowl of cold water.

After reading the letter, Ye Qiongdan snorted coldly: "Are you still thinking of threatening Tucun? I really didn't find out who I, Ye Qiongdan, are before coming here!"

Xu Mingzhu took the letter in her hand, and after reading it, she said angrily: "It's too much! In order to retaliate against the Yamen, they beheaded more than a dozen of their brothers, and even threatened that if the Yamen didn't arrest them today, they would be 190 One brother was released, and they will go ashore tonight, randomly find a small village in Qinghe County, and start a massacre? Do they still have the law of the king in their eyes!"

"Miss Xu, they are robbers. How can there be kings in the eyes of robbers? It's just ordinary people who suffer so much." The yamen servant drank a bowl of cold water in one breath, sighed, and looked at Ye Qiongdan again, "Miss Ye , the county magistrate asked me to ask, do you have a solution here?"

Ye Qiongdan took off the fortune-telling copper coins hanging around his waist, and after divination with the six-line divination method, he asked, "Which village is that three miles to the west?"

"Three miles to the west from here..." The yamen servant scratched his head, "I'm sorry, Miss Ye, I really can't remember."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingyu walked back to the house slowly, leaning on the wall, and brought a map of Qinghe County.

Ye Qiongdan laid out the map on the desktop, and after finding out the location of Shanghe Village, he moved his fingers all the way west: "It's Pingshan Village!"

"Pingshan Village is an isolated village in a mountain depression. There is only one road out of the village, surrounded by mountains. If the robbers really come to Pingshan Village tonight, it will be difficult for the people to escape." Touching his chin, he sighed with concern.

"Since we know in advance where they will go to slaughter the village, it will be easy," Ye Qiongdan smiled slightly, "Let's repeat the old trick."

"Still using incense?"

"Well, it's not a big deal, as long as it works," Ye Qiongdan nodded, "I'll make some pancakes later, and you can take them back to the Yamen."

"Miss Ye won't go back to the Yamen with me?"

"I have to go to Pingshan Village to survey the terrain. If the terrain is suitable, I will arrange a formation in Pingshan Village to ensure that the plan is foolproof," Ye Qiongdan solemnly urged, "By the way, tonight's matter, The matter is very important, you can only tell the county magistrate the countermeasures against the Wutou gang, understand? Otherwise, if something goes wrong, you are the only one to ask!"

"Yes yes yes!" the yamen servant said hastily.

The gangsters of the Wutou gang have been causing disasters in Yiling County for many years. It is indeed no small matter to catch these gangsters. If a certain village is massacred because of his negligence and mistakes, let alone the county magistrate, he will lose his official position. This yamen servant has also done it!

After the yamen servant left, Ye Qiongdan said to Xu Mingzhu: "Mingzhu, tell your father to act tomorrow night."

"So fast?" Xu Mingzhu's eyes widened in surprise.

"Take advantage of his illness and kill him! The gangsters of the Wutou gang are already in a panic. If another group of gangsters are arrested tonight, then the entire Wutou gang will be in chaos. Will they go ashore again tomorrow night? Unknown. In this chaotic situation, those who have different opinions in the gang will definitely advocate that "to fight against the outside world, we must first settle the inside." It's a good time for your father to attack the island with his guards!"

"Okay! Then I'll ask the coachman to go back and inform my father!" Xu Mingzhu nodded and walked out of the gate of the new house.

After the yamen servant informed the county magistrate of Ye Qiongdan's plan, the county magistrate nodded and immediately ordered the yamen servants to take the 41 people captured the night before to Caishikou, and behead them for public display at noon.

When noon arrived, the common people naturally cheered again. They praised the county magistrate for his wisdom, and the two sisters Ye Qiongdan and Xu Mingzhu for their unparalleled wit.

On this day, Ye Qiongdan accompanied his second brother to the town to buy some things for him to use in Fenglin Academy.

Ye Qiongdan wanted to buy this and that, but Xu Mingzhu said, "Why buy so much? Fenglin Academy is one of the five largest schools in the Northland, and the power behind it is beyond your imagination. Do you think that in a place where so many disciples from aristocratic families go to school, you can treat the students badly? The school uniforms, bedding, and toiletries will also be distributed...just bring close-fitting clothes and money. Besides, you are looking at the four treasures of the study now It's really unnecessary, Fenglin Academy distributes top-quality Huzhou rice paper, Huizhou stone inkstone, top-grade pine smoke ink..."

"All packed?"

"That's right," Xu Mingzhu nodded, "My younger brother is studying in Fenglin Academy, can I not know? Listen to me, it's right! You don't know that Fenglin Academy except your second brother who is exempt from examinations and In addition to the poor students with excellent grades, other students have to hand in how many beams every year, even if we don’t talk about beams, there are often students from Fenglin Academy who come back to donate to the school after they become famous.”

"That's all right, then prepare more money, poor family and rich road, I can't let my second brother be too wronged outside."

"Adan, the second brother doesn't need you to worry, the second brother is an adult and can take care of himself." Ye Qingyu said gently.

"I'm worried anyway," Ye Qiongdan sighed, "There are many disciples from the aristocratic family there, I'm afraid you will be angry."

"I just go to study, and I don't engage in emotional disputes with others." Ye Qingyu harbored concerns in his heart, part of which was about his eldest brother Ye Qinghan, and part of which was about his mother, Xie Wushuang.

He didn't know if his elder brother would recover his memory, but he had already gone out to roam the rivers and lakes now. You Long had been trapped in the shallows for long enough, and he always had a vague feeling that in the future, his elder brother would leap into the sky and stand among ten thousand people. superior.

Because, recently, the big brother's eyes sometimes even dare not meet him.

The aura he exuded unconsciously made him feel the sense of distance and oppression.

As for his mother, Xie Wushuang, he felt more uncomfortable.

Even though he was born in the countryside, he also knows the five great families in the world. Among them, the Wang family and the Xie family have the longest history. The Wang family is in the north, and the Xie family moved to the south in the previous dynasty.

Why did his mother come from the Xie family, the largest family in the south, and she was married to her father for so many years, but no one from the Xie family has ever come out to look for her?
What is the hidden secret in this?
He must stand out and find out the truth!

At night, the three chiefs of Wutou Gang took dozens of people ashore.

Although the county magistrate believed in Ye Qiongdan's divination ability, he was also afraid of accidents, so today he sent yamen servants to walk around the streets with drums and gongs, shouting that the Wutou gang will go ashore tonight to massacre the village, so that the people can wait until nightfall. Close the doors and windows and don't go out.

And the mayors of all the small towns in Qinghe County also received the notice from the yamen servant.

After the mayor received the notice, he immediately called Li Zheng, told them about the matter, and asked Li Zheng to tell the villagers of each village the news.

Originally, the plague hadn't passed yet, but now the Wutou Gang started to attack aggressively again. The people fell into panic and couldn't sleep at night. As long as there was a slight disturbance, they would be nervous.

And those who were equally nervous were the third gang leader of the Wutou Gang who had just landed.

"Three gang leaders, do you think they will lie in ambush near the pier, waiting to catch us all?" Someone asked fearfully.

"No!" The three gang leaders said in a deep voice, "If they want to ambush us on the pier, we can turn our heads and escape by rowing. In terms of rowing skills, can those weak chickens in the imperial court be our opponents?"

"The three chiefs are right!" The man nodded, "So, which village shall we massacre tonight?"

"Show me the map." The leader of the third gang said with some hesitation.

The man took out the map from his pocket and spread it on the ground.

The three gang leaders squatted down holding a torch, pointed to Pingshan Village and said, "That's it! A small village in the mountain depression! Let's fight quickly!"

"Okay!" The gangsters shouted in unison.

"Since the yamen refused to let people go, and insisted on beheading 41 of our brothers at noon today, don't blame us for not doing anything! Doesn't this dog official want to use our lives for political achievements? Humph! Tonight , let’s let his black hat fall off!” said the three gang leaders angrily.

The bandits all nodded.

The third master picked up the map, followed the route on the map, and led the gangsters to trot forward. After half a stick of incense, they ran to the narrow path into Pingshan Village.

That path only allowed two people to go in and out side by side, and the pace of the gangsters suddenly slowed down.

"Third gang leader, do you smell anything strange?" A gangster asked.

"Is it strange that there is a scent of flowers in the mountains? What are you talking about? A big man, can't even smell the scent of flowers? Hurry up and leave!" The three gang leaders frowned and said impatiently.

"Yes." The gangster nodded, and didn't think much about it.

Unexpectedly, when they were still ten steps away from the entrance of Pingshan Village, the three gang leaders who were running in the front felt weak on their feet and passed out.

Immediately afterwards, the other gangsters also fainted one after another.

They trotted all the way here, and the air consumption in their lungs was relatively large. Therefore, when they ran to the vicinity of Pingshan Village, they inhaled faster and more incense. The incense is even more.

Half an hour later, a group of government servants appeared outside Pingshan Village. When they saw that the robbers had fainted, they immediately became excited, tied them up with the ropes they carried, and threw them on the board. In the car, dragged back to the Yamen.

Early the next morning, the yamen servant posted an announcement outside the yamen, saying that more than 50 bandits had been captured last night, and none of the villagers were injured last night. The people cheered endlessly.
