Chapter 85 The Truth (Please recommend a ticket)
I never thought that someone's actions would be so fast.

Every time Yun Mole swung, it actually caused a sonic boom, which made people's eardrums buzz, which no longer conformed to the common sense of physics.

Ordinarily, it is impossible for a person to swing a fist beyond the speed of sound anyway.However, when you swing the whip, you can.

In the past, when Gao Wen was watching old men and women exercising in the park, when he swung the whip, the crisp crackling sound he heard was the sonic boom produced by the whip exceeding the speed of sound.The principle is actually very simple. When the whip is swung to accelerate, it takes a straight line, while when a person punches in a fight, it takes an arc.Between two points, a straight line is fastest.

Obviously, Yun Molei has mastered this skill.The movements used are very small, sometimes even clumsy and ridiculous, but the speed is ridiculously fast.

In a blink of an eye, Mei Liang had been hit with more than a dozen hits, such as punches, claws, fingers or elbows.

In addition to the screams, Gao Wen's ears heard the sound of fists, feet and body "puchi", as well as the crisp sound of bone fractures.

Under Yun Molei's hands, Mei Liang was like a newborn baby, completely powerless to fight back.

"Keep your tongue." Gao Wen called out hastily.

Another flash, Yun Mole's phantom body condensed into substance, stood in front of Mei Liang, and slowly retracted.Then he turned his head and took a deep look at Gao Wen: "It's too late."

Looking at Mei Liang again, fresh blood gushed out from the mouth and nose like spring water.

He shook his body, gurgled in his throat for a long time, and then sat down: "Demon... girl, such a handsome martial arts... how can a person have such a strong ability, how is it possible, how is it possible..." His voice gradually fell Go down, and finally you can't hear it.

"You you you... how could you kill him..." Gawain smiled weakly.

Huang Wei and Han Wei wanted to harm themselves, perhaps out of personal grievances, or perhaps because they were afraid that one day they would grow up and replace Huang Wei's position and become the overlord in Hancheng.This little guy can do anything.However, they actually used Mei Liang's elite servants to ambush them halfway, and slaughtered the entire convoy of civilians. It was incomprehensible to make such a big commotion.

Gao Wen had countless questions in his mind, but now that Mei Liang died, who should he ask?

Yun Mole raised her head, "I'm a monster in the world's mouth, killing someone is nothing, I can do whatever I want." In the flames, white snow fluttered down and landed on her smooth forehead.

Looking at the faint human blood at the corner of her mouth, Gao Wen's heart suddenly turned cold, and he was speechless again.

"Girl, how to deal with this kid."

Suddenly, a hunched figure quietly came out of the darkness, stopped in front of Gao Wen, and then stepped on his chest.

There was a surge of force, like a huge boulder, pressing down on Gao Wen's breastbone creaking.

There were bursts of blackness in front of my eyes, and I couldn't breathe anymore.

In the twinkling Venus eyes, Gao Wen saw that this person was the chicken-skinned and white-haired old woman who knelt beside her when he bought Yun Mo Le that day.

She was holding a long sword high and pointed it at her throat, intending to stab it hard.

This shock was no small matter, Gawain raised his last ounce of strength and shouted: "Miss Yun, don't you think about your past friendship and want to take my life?"

"Let him go." Yun Molei's voice came.

"What?" The old woman looked back at Yun Molei: "Girl, have you softened your heart? How secretive is our coming to Shaanxi, one less person who knows about it will be more safe."

Yun Mole said lightly: "I said let him go."

"Hmph, girl, have you taken a fancy to this kid? Have you forgotten the rules I taught?" Han Cheng, you followed behind secretly. Why, knowing that someone is going to kill him, you feel distressed, and want to protect him well. This old man is not the blind old lady of this kid, who can't see anything. You spend time with him in the house day and night , It must be a long-term relationship. How dangerous our situation is, you have killed so many people today, it is difficult to guarantee that you will not attract the attention of that person. At that time, I am afraid that you and I will not know how to die. Tell me, don’t you Have you forgotten the responsibilities on your shoulders?"

"You are wrong." Yun Mole remained expressionless.

The old woman: "Then why do you want to save this kid and not allow me to kill him? Hey, if it wasn't for the old woman, I thought it was wrong and chased after me. If you don't know what to do today, you will sleep and fly with this bastard, and forget your love in the rivers and lakes." .”

"Forget love in the rivers and lakes, heck, the rivers and lakes are misty and rainy, the reason why people are human, how can they be so forgetful. Even if I am willing, people are not willing to join my god religion."

"You...you really fell in love with this greasy-faced little bastard." The old woman was startled and angry, and let out an ugly growl, which shook the snow from the sea-buckthorn branches next to her.

Her roar sounded amazing, but her feet relaxed.

Gao Wen finally regained his composure after breathing in the fresh air.I feel funny in my heart: I was born dark and tall, a sunny boy, when did I become a buttery boy with oily hair and pink face?Fall in love... More than fall in love, your girl Yun is already mine!Fortunately, fortunately, we did something good with Yun Molei that night.Otherwise, it is impossible for someone to save a husband from a thousand miles away.Alcohol is a good thing, it's so fucking messy after drinking!

Looking at the situation of the old beggar and Yun Molei, it seems that they are not mother and daughter.Moreover, Miss Yun's status seems to be higher than that of the old woman, like a master and servant.

Looking back again, Gawain couldn't help but feel a twitch when he saw the tall, straight and unrestrained woman standing there.

"So what if you like it?" Yun Mole said calmly, "I know that as a member of the divine religion, I cannot have any affair with my children. Just listen to me, if you want to kill Gao Wen after listening to me, And it's up to you."

"Okay, tell me, the old woman would like to hear your explanation, girl. If you can't satisfy me, even if the old woman has nothing to do with the girl, the canon can still control you. But, no matter what you say, girl, I will take care of this kid's life." I have to take it away." Having said this, the old woman stared at Gao Wen with a fierce look on her face.

Yun Molei: "It's up to you, you just want to kill yourself when the time comes." Speaking of this, she sighed faintly: "Since childhood, have you taken away few things I like? No problem."

"One of the reasons why this person should not be killed is that he took me in and has kindness to me. The two things of kindness and love are nothing to us, but don't forget, what we are practicing is the art of forgetting love." If you kill it, you will inevitably stick to cause and effect."

Hearing what Yun Mole said, the old woman nodded: "Yes."

Yun Mole said again: "You said that I have traveled all these days just to get rid of this cause and effect. Hey, it's too simple for you to think about things."

The old woman was stunned and couldn't help asking: "But why?"

Yun Molei walked slowly in front of Gao Wen, lifted him up with one hand, and threw him onto a war horse saddle.

Gawain was shocked, his stomach churned, and he spat out a mouthful of blood with a "wow".

Because Yun Molei turned his back to the old woman, at the moment when Gao Wen vomited blood, concern and regret flashed across Gu Jing's calm face.

Immediately, he regained his composure: "Gao Wen, do you know why Huang Wei and Mei Liang put up such a big battle to ambush you halfway and take your life?"

Gao Wen: "It's not because I offended Han Kui and threatened Huang Wei's status, what else?"

"Childish." Yun Mole sneered and said, "Huang Wei really wants to harm you, and there will be opportunities in the future. The reason why he is so impatient is because he is afraid that the incident at the Meijia Racecourse will cause a huge storm in Shaanxi. At that time, we don't know How many people will die and their heads will fall to the ground."

Gao Wen was stunned: "What happened to Mei's racecourse?"

"The Meijia Racecourse may not be appropriate, but it should be the entire Shaanxi Horse Administration." Yun Mole said: "You have also been to the Meijia Racecourse, don't you find anything wrong?"

Gao Wen: "There seems to be a little less horses in that place, not a thousand of them."

Yun Mole nodded: "Actually, there are no more than a hundred army horses in Meijiazhuang."

"What, but a hundred horses?" Gao Wen exclaimed.

"Yes, it's only a hundred horses, but the number of military horses handed over to Taipu Temple by the Mei family is correct every year. Do you know why?" Without waiting for Gao Wen to answer, Yun Mole continued: "Actually, the number of horses handed over every year is just A number, as long as the upper and lower colludes, you can write as much as you want, and you will get the benefits, and you will never miss a single article. Hehe, you really think that Mei Liang is some kind of extraordinary person, but in a few decades, he has changed from a sheep herder Turn yourself into a big man. There is nothing faster in business in this world than the collusion between the government and businessmen."

Yun Mole: "When Mei Liang returned to his hometown, he fell into Huang Wei's eyes for some reason. The two hit it off immediately and worked hand in hand. Huang Wei contributed money, and Mei Liang built an empty horse farm with all his efforts. Even if the two of them They don’t raise a single horse, and the foster money they get from the imperial court every year is enough for their prosperity and wealth for several generations. There must be a lot of people like them in Shaanxi. You are also unlucky, last time Mei When Liang’s son went missing, he actually went to Mei’s Village and read his account book. Tell me, if you know such a big secret, can Huang Wei and Mei Liang let you live?”

"Ah, so it's like this!" Gao Wen couldn't help taking a breath, and now he completely understood.

It turns out that horses are associated with military affairs, and the number of horses is a symbol of a country's prosperity, so it has been valued by successive emperors.Especially Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, who had fought against Mongolian cavalry several times, knew the importance of cavalry to a country.

Zeng issued an edict and said: "In the past when people asked about the wealth of a country, who counted horses as a countermeasure? The matter was in the army. Its army began in Xuanyuan. Its horses carried armored soldiers and worked on behalf of them. It is so big, and the beauty of its merits is that you don’t love breeding! Therefore, the ancients paid for the horses first, so they counted the horses. The merits of the horse are not only for military affairs, but if the king has the way, the power of the horse will lead the plow and drive the dung cart. It is very beneficial to open up fertile fields, so those who have valued ancient times do this.”

Since the Ming Dynasty regained the Shan and Shaanxi horse farms, it has vigorously promoted horse politics in Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Beijing.Horse administration has become an important part of government administration, and raising horses has become an important obligation of the people.In order to encourage the folks to raise horses, the imperial court also issued an edict to foster the war horses in the homes of the common people, paying one horse every year and exempting half of the tax.

But after a period of time, the problem came.Because you can’t guarantee that all the war horses in your care will grow up healthily. Maybe a plague will kill a large number of people, and the people will be poor. You don’t need many. Just one horse can make you bankrupt.

Moreover, whether the war horses paid every year are qualified or not is entirely up to the people of Taipu Temple.Once he says he's unqualified, just go and cry!

The most terrible thing is that raising horses requires a large pasture.Whether the pasture is land or not, there was no need to pay taxes in the past.Because people who have land are unwilling to raise horses, and those who have pastures are not motivated to raise horses.

Seeing the disadvantages of this, Renzong introduced a new policy: the previous horse policy will continue to be implemented, but in the Shanshan and Shanxi horse producing areas, tax exemptions will no longer be implemented, but if the people are willing to foster military horses, the state can provide a certain amount of financial support every year. Subsidies until the horses are slaughtered.

This amount of money may not sound like a lot every year, but it is there every year.A horse matures at the age of three, and it must be five years old before it can be used as a military horse.Calculated over the past five years, it is not a small income.If you have enough horses, the accumulation will be astronomical.

In the Ming Dynasty, an ordinary pack horse was worth more than 35 taels of silver, while a military horse was several times, or even three to five times, that of a pack horse.A military horse is subsidized by the state with one tael of silver every year, five taels for five years.

Mei Liang's racecourse claims to have a thousand military horses, and after five years, it will be 5000 taels.This sum of money may not be too much, but don't forget that he got a thousand horses from Taipusi back then.Calculated on the basis that each horse is worth 30 taels of silver, it is 3 taels.After getting these ponies, he would naturally buy them for money, and then share them privately with Huang Wei.

As for what to do when the Trilateral Army Town needs horses, it is also simple.It's just a matter of getting dozens of hundreds of horses to make a job, or continue to get horses from Taipu Temple to fill this big hole.

After more than ten years, I don't know how much benefit Huang Wei and Mei Liang have gained.He Meiliang has such an advantage, it's hard not to be the richest man in Hancheng.

From beginning to end, this matter is a disguised Ponzi scheme, but the country is being deceived.And because the relationship is too big, once it is exposed, Huang Wei and Mei Liang will inevitably have their homes ransacked by the court.

The last time Gao Wen happened to read Mei Liang's account book in Meijiazhuang, he actually didn't see anything.The problem is that he has been successful in solving the two cases of missing persons and kidnapping, and his performance is so amazing that Huang Wei cannot help but arouse Huang Wei's suspicion, suspecting that he already knows the key points and intends to harm himself.The so-called strike first is strong, and strike later to suffer disaster, so they sent out ambush soldiers to slaughter Gao Wen and all the civilians.If Yun Mole hadn't killed him at the critical moment, he might have turned into a corpse on the snow.

Gao Wen thought he was also a smart person, so he immediately understood.
