The question Zhai Huan asked was exactly what Duwei Yang wanted to know.
At this time, Zhai Le thought of something and carefully asked Captain Yang for confirmation: "Does Captain Yang know... about the rebellion in Lingzhou?"
Captain Yang was stunned for a moment.
It's not that he has a problem with his understanding, but that he understands every word of Zhai Le's words, but why can't he digest them all together?
What is "Lingzhou Rebellion"?
He couldn't believe it.
He stood up on the spot, his eyes as wide as copper bells. He was pacing back and forth like an angry and trapped beast, his breath dangerous and uneasy, and the ground beneath his feet was about to be dug into two holes. Finally, he asked in a hoarse voice: " What did you say...Lingzhou?"
What happened in Lingzhou?
When did the incident in Lingzhou happen?
Brother Zhai Le's reaction was even more shocked than his.
You really don’t know?
This, this... even they didn't know what to say. Zhai Le could only explain the situation roughly, but he lied about the source of the information. He only said that he passed by a tea shop not long ago and heard some businessmen discussing it, and Not a few of Shen Tang were pulled out.
Although he didn't know why Brother Shen wanted to intercept the tax money, he believed that Brother Shen was a sincere and honest gentleman. Even if he did evil things, he would do it for a reason - not to mention, it might not be considered an evil thing. What was going on in Sibao County? His eyes See clearly.
To be able to squeeze out so much tax money from a group of skinny people, and also give away a large number of rare and rare treasures in addition to the tax money to please the king Zheng Qiao, the governor of Sibao County is also a ruthless person!
From this point of view, Zhai Le prefers Shen Tang.
Therefore, he remained tight-lipped.
He never disclosed his speculation to Captain Yang.
"I don't know, I have never received this news..."
Duwei Yang was so angry that his liver was trembling, the whites of his eyes were covered with blood-red spider silk, and his eyes were fierce as if he wanted to eat ten people in one meal.
He was breathing heavily, and his fists were pinched so hard that his knuckles crunched. He suddenly thought of something, and his anger surged like gunpowder, and he scolded: "No - there is chaos in Lingzhou, and the county governor has to pay tax at this juncture." do what?"
Zhai Le interjected softly: "Maybe the county guard doesn't know either?"
Captain Yang couldn't suppress his anger: "Can he not know? If he doesn't even know this, does his life depend on luck?"
Zhai Le: "..."
This... I can't say for sure.
If Sibao County fell, what benefits would it bring to him as the governor?
Zhai Huan said: "Don't be angry, Captain Yang. We still don't know which force is besieging Xiaocheng. It may not be the rebel forces in Lingzhou. On the other hand, if it is really them, it will be a good thing."
Captain Yang reluctantly swallowed his anger and asked with red eyes: "Why did Mr. Zhai say that? If those mobs were causing trouble..."
Zhai Huan said: "It is difficult for a mob to become a great weapon."
Captain Yang choked.
As a courageous warrior, he agrees with Zhai Huan's point of view. Even if there are a large number of improvised old and weak soldiers, they only look scary on the surface. The ratio of their courageous warriors is too low, making it difficult for ordinary people to even have food and clothing. ?
They will rebel because they don't have enough to eat, and like a snowball, people in the same situation will respond wherever they go, but - can a group of people who don't have enough to eat get enough to eat together?
How much fighting power can you gain if you fight on an empty stomach?
How big of a threat can it pose?
Even if the garrison in Xiaocheng chooses to be a coward, unable to get out, delaying the defense of the city, and fighting for food and grass, they can drag the enemy to death. What is really scary is that if the enemy attacking the city is a well-trained "regular army", the food and grass will be Abundance is dangerous.
Captain Yang scratched his bun irritably.
He really couldn't think of any other possibilities...
Seeing that Captain Yang had no breakthrough, Zhai Huan could only shake his head secretly, unable to do anything - now he could only take one step at a time.
In private, he noticed that his cousin looked sick.
Naturally, it was a lot of questioning.
Zhai Le hesitated: "Brother, I, I -"
Zhai Huan: "Don't lie, you've never been good at this."
Zhai Le was immediately discouraged: "...Oh, that's it...about the group of gangsters last night, I actually have suspicions..."
Zhai Huan was not surprised and only asked: "Qi Yuanliang?"
Zhai Le was shocked: "Brother also knows?"
Zhai Huan almost laughed angrily: "What's so difficult about this?"
Do you really think that it is so easy to meet a literary scholar who can defeat him? Ah Le thinks that everyone is as simple as him and believes that there are coincidences in the world? From the appearance of Qi Shan to the robbery of his tax money, even if Qi Shan did not take action, Zhai Huan would I was suspicious of him for a while.
No reason, just because it's too much of a coincidence.
Coupled with Zhai Le's expression of being unable to hide something...
He asked: "How did you know?"
Zhai Le said: "Oh, because of Brother Shen's sword."
There is almost no possibility of admitting a mistake.
The corner of Zhai Huan's mouth twitched, and he reluctantly compared the "Brother Shen" whom Zhai Le often mentioned with the scarred-faced burly man last night.
"But he's not a literary scholar?"
Zhai Le said: "Yes, he is a scribe."
Zhai Huan: "...you call that a literary scholar?"
He was speechless. It took him a long time to glance at the embarrassed Captain Yang in the distance. It seemed as if a breath was stuck in his chest, making him uncomfortable.
Zhai Le rubbed his chin, hesitating slightly: "He is elegant and has literary monograms... He is indeed a literary scholar, that's right."
Zhai Huan: "..."
It’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other.
Shen Tang, who was being talked about by the two, felt the tip of his nose was a little itchy and sneezed uncontrollably. At the same time, he opened his eyes and sat up halfway.
When I woke up it was already dark.
The air was filled with a fishy earthy smell mixed with the smell of blood.
She rubbed her forehead and recalled her memories carefully.
There is no suspense and nothing comes to mind.
However, it was familiar once, twice, and familiarly. She knew that she was drunk, and she didn't make a fuss about the change of environment. After a while, Chu Yao and the others came back, empty-handed, and she thought it was a robbery. The tax bank failed.
"Goro is awake?"
Shen Tang asked: "How was the action last night?"
Chu Yao: "Everything goes well."
"Where's the tax money?"
Chu Yao handed her a parchment drawing and said: "Of course I buried it and took it out after the storm has passed. Does your head still hurt? I don't know where Qi Yuanliang got the strong liquor. You fought with me last night." It’s like you’re going to die... there will be no next time!”
Although Wulang was very brave and fierce when he was drunk, he also lost some of the "reason" that ordinary people have, and did not take the wounds seriously at all. Fortunately, those were only minor injuries, and the amount of blood seemed to be huge. , but most of them belong to the enemy.
Qishan appeared like a ghost from nowhere and said: "Chu Wuhui, although there are formations in battle, courage is the basis. Mr. Shen Xiaolang is brave against the enemy and is not afraid of life and death. What's wrong?"
When Shen Tang heard this, her head, which had not hurt at first, started to buzz. She hurriedly waved her hands and jumped up: "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt. Now that everything is settled, let's go back quickly. We still have to pick up Lin Feng to go home." , if you stay a few days late, you will get angry with me..."
She shamelessly used Lin Feng as a shield.
Chu Yao snorted and refused to argue with Qi Shan.
The four of them took a short rest and prepared to return.
Her good mood ended abruptly at an official teahouse.
