The manor in Lishan used to be filled with singing, dancing and music, but now it is extremely quiet. The colorful trees in the past have now faded.
In the outer buildings of the manor, Zhao Gui's family soldiers were stationed. Zhuang Ding, actors and the guests who were surrounded here were detained separately.
At this time, another loud noise broke out in a small building in the manor. Several sergeants who were responsible for delivering meals were beaten by the dandy guests who were detained here and fled out in embarrassment.
When a soldier commander in charge of external defense saw the sergeant being humiliated in this way, he became furious for a moment and ordered the nearby soldiers to draw their swords and buckle their strings, ready to kill them if they disagreed.
However, those dandies who were naked and armed with simple instruments did not show any timidity. Instead, they stood in front of the building and pointed at the sergeants and shouted insults: "People of thieves, don't think that armed with swords and arrows, you can disregard your dignity."
! If I have any hair loss, I will make you wait for Qiu Ba to pay for your life! Send me some wine, and you can use the pig food for your own use!"
When the soldier commander heard the insult, he became even more furious. He grabbed a bow and shot a dandy who shouted the most fiercely on the ground at his feet.
When everyone in front of the building saw this, they were frightened and ran away. However, after seeing that these soldiers did not dare to actually hurt anyone's life, their arrogance became even more arrogant.
The dandy, who was so frightened that he fell to the ground, pulled out the arrow nailed to the ground, pointed at the soldier commander and cursed repeatedly. In shame and anger, he even strode towards the defense line: "I'm guilty, I'm guilty of this."
There are national laws to punish you! How dare you, a thief and a slave, to shoot me, I will be killed when I leave here..."
boom!
There was a muffled sound, and the dude was kicked away. Zhao Gui pushed aside the crowd and walked into the building with a pale face. He pointed at the dude who was kicked away and said angrily: "Who are you going to kill? You can kill him."
Who? Just go into the building and stay there. If you dare to humiliate me as a battalion soldier again, you will never leave this place alive!"
Zhao Gui's appearance in person was quite intimidating. After seeing this, all the dandies in front of the building looked awe-inspiring, bowed their heads and returned to the building, closing the doors and windows tightly.
But soon, there were shouts and curses in the building again: "Zhao Qiao is so majestic. He was defeated by the thieves in front of the Mangshan formation. When he returned to the country, the fierce flames rose! When the thieves are seen, they hide, and when the thieves leave, they scream. The dynasty is in charge of the army.
If you are just this scum, God will not bring about our imperial authority..."
"Who is it? Come out and see if you are tough or sharp!"
Hearing the insults, Zhao Gui was so angry that he couldn't speak for a while, and his cronies were already furious. They rushed into the building and broke the doors and windows with knives, pointing at the trembling dudes in the building.
They shouted angrily.
Seeing that the sergeant could no longer control his emotions, Zhao Gui finally couldn't bring himself to go on a killing spree, so he just yelled: "Back off! If anyone makes noise and causes trouble again, he will be taken out of the building and detained!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of horse hooves sounded from behind, and Yu Wenhu, who had returned from Chang'an, had already rode into the manor.
Seeing this chaotic scene, Yu Wenhu sat on his horse and pointed at Zhao Gui from a distance and said loudly: "The crimes of the people in the building have not been proven, how can Zhao Qiaoqi send troops to humiliate them? These people may have bad morals, but their fathers, brothers, and elders are also serving the country.
How can you be so mean to someone who has worked hard to help you?"
Originally, everyone in the building had been frightened by Zhao Gui's tiger and wolf soldiers. When they heard Yu Wenhu's roar, they all felt as if they had seen a savior. They rushed to the front of the building and roared sadly: "Zhao Qiaoqi.
If you use your troops to humiliate the people, our life would be worse than death. I beg Mr. Chichi to save you..."
Zhao Gui held the sword in his hand, stood there and frowned at Yu Wenhu, and replied in a deep voice: "I was ordered by Daxingtai to seize the village's personnel. I dare not neglect what is allowed by the mission. No one can exceed the mission!
These types of people are arrogant and unruly, defying the prohibition. Prince Shuchi has just arrived because he didn't notice anything. If you came here under the order, I will hand over the personnel. If you don't have the mission, please leave immediately!"
"There is no reason for Hong Sheng, and this is not a formation to kill thieves. I dare not disobey the power of Xiushi, but the crimes of these members have not led to death, so why should we fight against each other? I am on the orders of Daxingtai, so I join this auxiliary
Asking about the matter, I am convinced that there is no such thing as arrogance and evil that is difficult to control. Please retreat temporarily, all the warriors with swords and armor. If there are any more unruly and disrespectful people, I will kill them on behalf of the hussar!"
Yu Wenhu stood up and dismounted, no longer confronting Zhao Gui tit for tat, but the yin and yang meaning in his words was even stronger.
Although Zhao Gui was a little embarrassed, he also knew that taking a tougher stance would only lead to a worse outcome, so he waved his hand and ordered his soldiers to retreat to the defensive line.
"The knights are on official duty and cannot treat each other with courtesy. This cave of lust and extravagance is inherently harmful to the moral education of the world and is almost illegal. It is a crime for you and others to be involved in this. If you don't step back and reflect on yourself, I can't follow my feelings."
rescue!"
Yu Wenhu pointed at the dudes who were looking at him eagerly and said in a deep voice, without emphasizing the fight for his right to speak in this matter in public.
After everyone heard this, they all retreated to the building.
Yu Wenhu turned around and walked towards Zhao Gui, clasped his fists and said: "The former is eager to go to the court to perform his duties and has no time to stop to see the courtesy during the trip. Please forgive me. I've been busy ahead of time. Thank you for your hard work, Zhao Gui."
Zhao Gui's expression softened slightly after hearing this. There was no quarrel between him and Yu Wenhu, and it was not like he would fall out over trivial matters. He just nodded and said: "I have been ordered to seal this place. Mr. Chichi has already
Now that I have received the order, the personnel should be handed over and the subordinates will guide me, so I will no longer accompany you."
After saying this, he summoned a general and asked him to lead Yuwen Hu to investigate the personnel here, while he retreated to the tent outside the manor to rest.
Yu Wenhu watched Zhao Gui leave with a faint sneer on his lips. Under the guidance of Zhao Gui's general, he first gathered all the books and accounts in the manor in a spare room, and then ordered his followers to quickly organize them.
read.
Although there are many people coming and going in the manor, it has only been in business for a short time and the total number of business records is not too large.
When he saw the rapid increase in the number of goods counted by his entourage, Yu Wenhu's eyes became more serious. These goods should originally belong to him, and they will grow rapidly in the future, but now there is no future!
It was getting late when he entered the village, and after doing the accounting for a while, it became completely dark, so he ordered his followers to suspend the inspection, and ordered Zhao Gui's soldiers guarding the door to search the followers one by one to ensure that they
Account books will not be carried out privately.
"That's not necessary. The public servant of the pool is hard-working, what else can't be trusted?"
After hearing this, the soldier commander who was left behind waved his hands and said with a smile.
Yu Wenhu said seriously: "The things here are fragmented and complicated, and there are many things involved, so we have to work in two places. The account book in the room is the root of everything. Once lost, it is difficult to clearly verify. If I find out that someone is guarding and stealing, I will show no mercy.
Since you are involved in the matter, how can you neglect it?"
The soldier commander originally intended to show his kindness, but was a little embarrassed after being scolded by Yu Wenhu, so he stopped being polite and ordered his sergeants to carefully inspect Yuwen Hu's entourage before letting them go.
That night, Yu Wenhu and his entourage stayed in the vacated Armor Removal Hall in the manor. Not long after they settled in, a fire flickered in a place in the manor, causing a small commotion. Fortunately, the guarding soldiers were alert, and there was a fire in the forest.
There was also abundant spring water, and the fire was quickly put out.
Yu Wenhu put on his clothes and came out and took a look at the place where the fire was. His expression suddenly changed because the place where the fire happened to be was the room where the account books were stored.
"How could there be a fire here? I've told you to keep a tight defense before, so why did such a big mistake happen?"
The frame of the room was still intact, but the inside had been completely blackened by fire smoke, especially the accounting papers, which were completely burned into a pile of ashes. When Yuwen Hu saw this, his face turned livid and he pointed at the soldier commander who stayed behind.
He scolded angrily.
At this time, Zhao Gui also came over after hearing the news. When he learned about this, his face was also not very good-looking. He raised his leg and kicked the soldier commander to the ground and yelled at him sharply.
He turned to look at Yu Wenhu and said: "How much of the account has been checked? If most of it has been checked, can it be recorded again?"
"If Zhao Qiaoqi wants to take away my job, just say a word! But the reason is unclear, so I can't tell you frankly! This place is not free of charge, the fire incident is strange, I'm afraid Qiaoqi has to give me an explanation!"
Yu Wenhu's face became grim, and he did not answer Zhao Gui's question. He retreated and stood among his followers, his expression full of vigilance.
When Zhao Gui heard this, he was very angry for a moment. He waved his hands and shouted angrily: "Everyone who is left behind here will remove their armor and weapons and question them one by one!"
"People's words may not be true, things don't lie! Since the Hussars settled in, no one should go out. If you want to show your innocence, all accounts need to be carefully inspected."
Yu Wenhu stood among his followers and sneered. He was not an idle playboy. He knew the military disciplines of the armies. He was very sure that Zhao Gui's soldiers were definitely not pure gentlemen who were willing to pick up gold. They were guarding this gold-selling cave.
In a few days, your hands and feet will definitely become unclean.
When Zhao Gui heard this, his expression suddenly froze, then his face became solemn, and he said angrily: "How should I run the army without Lao Chi's advice? The soldiers have been here for many days. Although it is not a great achievement, they have fulfilled their duties!"
If Mr. Chichi wants to review our military discipline, he needs to go back to Daxingtai. If Daxingtai has orders, I will help you!"
"Since Zhao Qiaoqi does not want to prove his innocence, I have nothing to say. The conclusion is inevitable. I only hope that Qiaoqi will live up to the trust of Daxingtai."
After hearing this, Yu Wenhu sneered again, and then turned to Zhao Gui and said: "The sudden change has occurred, and all the accounts have been ruined. It is useless for me to stay here any longer. I will go back to the palace tomorrow morning. Before I leave, I will tell you,
All the people detained here will be punished with fines and will be punished by Zhao Qiaoqi. The matter should be settled as soon as possible without any further delay."
After saying this, Yu Wenhu left here surrounded by his followers.
After Yu Wen and his staff left, Zhao Guicai turned to look at his own soldiers and said in a deep voice: "Did you cause this fire?"
"Lord, it's true that we are hiding something secret, but, we really didn't set the fire. If we really want to destroy the certificate, we have plenty of opportunities before, so why wait until Mr. Chichi arrives to do it?"
When the soldiers who stayed behind heard this, they bowed their heads and surrendered.
When Zhao Gui heard this, his brows furrowed even deeper, and he pondered again before saying: "Every camp will send back what they have picked up. The goods in the garden will be immediately inventoried and loaded, and they will be sent back to the platform with Yuwen Sabao tomorrow morning.
.This son is cunning, cunning, and harsh, and he is really not worthy of Daxingtai’s missionary service!”
