Chapter 2133 The messenger in the city

Jia Shenwu, who was about to leave, turned around and said to Xiao Wu: "What do these fat-headed and brainy men in the city mean? Are they trying to surrender?"

"You'll know when you meet me," Xiao Wu said, "Bring people here!"

The soldiers were ordered to retreat.

Jia Shenwu was not in a hurry to leave now, and sat back on the bench, waiting to see the person coming.

When the soldiers who went out came back again, there was a middle-aged man who was timid and shrunk around him.

"You came from the city? What kind of official is it?" Xiao Wu asked straight to the point.

The middle-aged man stepped forward, intervened and said, "I have met the general. I am the magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture and County. I have been ordered by the prefecture master to see you."

"It turns out that it was not sent by Yang He. It doesn't work to say that Yang He, the governor, speaks in Kaifeng Prefecture?" Xiao Wu asked bluntly.

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Mr. Yang is feeling uncomfortable recently. Currently, all the affairs in Kaifeng Prefecture City are managed by the Du Zun alone."

Hearing this, Xiao Wu and Jia Shenwu looked at each other.

Then Jia Shenwu said, "You come to see us. Could it be that the mansion master behind you is planning to open the city gate and surrender."

"No, no, no." The middle-aged man shook his head quickly and said immediately, "The Lord of the Mansion has no intention of surrendering."

Bang!

Jia Shenwu raised his hand and slapped him hard on the table, his face sank, and said, "Since you are not here to surrender, then you can useless to come here. Come on, pull him out and chop him up."

Two soldiers walked in outside the tent.

"Two generals don't do it first. It's not too late to listen to me finishing my words." The middle-aged man looked at Jia Shenwu with a nervous look on his face, his legs shaking constantly.

Jia Shenwu raised his hand and stopped the two soldiers who were preparing to come and arrest him.

He looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and said, "Don't say you won't give me a chance. If you have any last words, you will be able to say it quickly. It's not too late to chop your head after you finish it."

"Yes, yes, no, you can't cut it." The middle-aged man said with his lips trembling.

Jia Shenwu glared at the tiger's eyes and shouted: "If you don't want to lose your head, why don't you say it quickly. I don't have time to waste time with you here."

"Say, say, let's say it." The middle-aged man was frightened and stuttered, "The Master of the Mansion admired the two generals very much. The two generals could abandon the secret and turn to the light. The Master of the Mansion was willing to recommend the position of two generals as the commander. If the two generals could help the court to quell the rebellion, it would be very likely that the commander of the guard would be in the future."

Jia Shenwu raised his eyelids and glanced at him, saying, "If I like you, a bullshit commander, come and take him out and chop him."

The middle-aged man was so scared that he collapsed on the ground.

Two soldiers stepped forward and grabbed the middle-aged man's arms and pulled them out of the tent.

"I haven't finished speaking, I haven't finished speaking, and I haven't finished speaking." The middle-aged man shouted repeatedly.

At this time, Xiao Wu spoke, "Let him go and let him say."

The soldiers who were catching the middle-aged man let go of their hands, but the man stood on the left and right of the middle-aged man, guarding both sides.

The middle-aged man climbed forward for two steps, then realized that there were two thieves in front of him. He stood up with awkward expression and said, "If the two generals are unwilling to serve the court, will the servant prepare other choices for the two generals?"

"If you want me to say there is no need to talk nonsense to him, just chop it down." Jia Shenwu said to Xiao Wu.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man didn't care about keeping a secret and hurriedly said, "The Master of the Mansion said that as long as the two generals were willing to withdraw, he would be willing to pay three or five hundred taels of silver."

Jia Shenwu said to Xiao Wu, "I heard that, I'm using us as a beggar. I want to withdraw my troops after 500 taels. It's not enough to use the amount of money I can use to fire the city in one day."

Xiao Wu nodded beside him.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man smiled bitterly, and he knew that five hundred taels were not enough.

These rebels were in trouble in Shanxi and Shaanxi, and had seen the world for a long time. They were not those thieves and bandits who could be defeated with just a few hundred taels of silver.

"Five thousand taels of silver." The middle-aged man directly said the highest authority he could give.

Jia Shenwu spat on the ground and said, "It takes at least 50,000 taels of silver dogs to do something."

"Fifty thousand taels?" The middle-aged boy widened.

He thought it was already a lot of five thousand taels, but he didn't expect that these rebels would have greater ambitions and would only cost 50,000 taels of silver.

Jia Shenwu snorted and said, "What? I think it's too much?"

"Fifty thousand taels of silver are indeed too much." The middle-aged man showed bitterness on his face.

He worked as a magistrate in Kaifeng Prefecture for several years, and even his salary was not as much as 50,000 taels of silver.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the county government and the government government government government are in the same city.

Any benefit? Datou was taken away by the government office, so he, the county magistrate, could only drink some soup.

"I can't even bear to give up 50,000 taels of silver. What else can I say? I'll take it out and chop it up and send my head to the officials in the city." Jia Shenwu mentioned again that he wanted to chop the middle-aged man's head.

Two soldiers standing on the left and right sides stepped forward and raised the middle-aged man's arms.

"Give it, give it, only 50,000 taels of silver." The middle-aged man agreed first, regardless of whether he could convince the people in the city to agree.

His life is his own. As long as he can return to the city, he will not care whether others are willing to pay the money. At worst, he will not leave the city in the future.

Jia Shenwu laughed and said, "It would be great to be so happy before. Let us let go of our God of Wealth!"

He waved his hands at the two middle-aged soldiers who were holding the middle-aged man.

The warrior let go of the middle-aged man.

"Tell me, when will I send the money?" Jia Shenwu asked.

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment and said, "As soon as the two generals retreat, the silver will be sent over immediately."

"I can't even see the silver. Why should I withdraw my troops? I will take the silver first and then talk about the withdrawal. If I can't see the silver, I will use more than a dozen cannons and collapse the city wall in front of me." Jia Shenwu threatened.

The middle-aged man did not believe Jia Shenwu's words. If the rebel cannons could collapse the walls of Kaifeng Prefecture City, they would have taken down Kaifeng Prefecture City long ago and would not have been surrounded and attacked.

"It seems you don't believe what I said." Jia Shenwu noticed the disapproval on the middle-aged man's face.

The middle-aged man's face changed and he hurriedly said, "Xin, Xin, Xin, when I return to the city, I will immediately send the money to the two generals."

"It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, you will believe it when you see it." Jia Shenwu looked annoyed. Not to mention a Kaifeng Prefecture City, the cannon with the tiger flag that used to collapsed a gap in the city wall of Datong Town.

Middle-aged people think that Jia Shenwu is bragging.

But under the eaves, he pretended to be agreeable and said, "I believe that I really believe that the general's cannon can collapse the city wall. It's just that I need to go back and tell the mansion in person."
