Yue Er asked his son to sit back in his old place, bought him another piece of candy, touched his head and said, "My son is smart, but when he grows up, he must not lie to others."
Yue Sanshu took a sip of the candy and said, "Ah, my mother said you are an old liar."
Yue Er said with a dark face, "Your mother-in-law is talking nonsense."
"No, grandma has said many times that she was deceived by you back then."
That woman!
Yue Er said with a straight face, "Anyway, the candy will be gone."
Yue Sanshu took a big bite and handed over the remaining half of the candy, "Aye, you can eat it."
"Damn it, Aye ate your candy, and I have to give you a piece of it later, otherwise you will complain to your mother when you get home. Damn it, that big mouthful is what you deceived..."
Yue Er was a little depressed and felt that his younger son's future was in danger.
"Erlang."
"Yeah." Yue Sanshu held the caramel in his mouth, savoring the sweetness.
"No matter how good a liar is, he will eventually fail, so whatever you do, don't lie to people."
"Um!"
"Hey! Can't your cloth be cheaper?"
The two men turned back again.
Yue Sanshu leaned on the cart, with his back to the street, listening to the two familiar voices, and felt that the caramel was getting sweeter and sweeter.
Yue Er said dullly: "If you knit it at home, no matter how cheap it is, you will lose money."
The two men were just acting casually. When they heard this and were about to leave, Yue Er pointed at the waist of one of them and said, "It's been cut."
The man lowered his head and asked, "What was cut?"
Naturally, when entering the city, you have to be careful about your money bag being stolen, so the man puts the money bag on his waist inside his outer garment, which is just blocked by the belt. When he needs money, he can reach in through his chest and take out the money bag.
At this moment, there was an opening at the waist of the outer garment. The man put his hand in and his expression changed.
"The purse is gone."
Another man complained: "I told you to be careful, hey! Fortunately, mine..."
He put his hand into his arms and his expression changed drastically.
"Where's my purse?"
hehe!
Yue Er said dullly: "Did you get hit by someone?"
"yes!"
"That's right."
The two men were dumbfounded, "How can we live here without money?"
Yue Er said blankly: "The clothes can be pawned."
"Is it okay to be naked?"
"No, it's immoral and you'll be sent to jail and spanked."
The two of them were out of ideas.
Yue Er scratched his head and said, "The Ming Dynasty asked me to be hospitable. I could have lent you money, but I'm afraid I won't have a mortgage and will be beaten by my wife when I get home."
"this……"
Later, two men quietly took out daggers and handed them over.
"Fifty dollars." Yue Er said.
"What? This is a good knife. If you don't have a hundred dollars, don't even think about it. Two of them cost two hundred dollars."
"This is a mortgage, you will have to get it back later."
Haha too!
The two felt that the old man in front of them was very considerate, so they pledged the dagger they had brought into the city against the law. But after they took the money, they felt something was wrong.
We are here to cause trouble, but as soon as we entered the city, we lost our money bag first, and then our knife. This is wrong!
"The Ming Dynasty said we should be hospitable, but I won't tell anyone." Yue Er said honestly.
"We will redeem it tomorrow. Are you still here?"
"I have been setting up a stall here, and everyone in the neighborhood knows me."
Yue Er smiled at the stall owners on both sides, and the stall owners on both sides were also smiling.
"These two people were probably deceived by Yue Er."
After the two left, Yue Er asked his son to look at the stall and quietly followed him.
The two men wandered around the city for a long time and talked to many people, but they couldn't find any pattern.
Finally they went on a reverse journey.
Yue Er turned around and sighed: "Playing such a little trick, you two were not even born when I deceived you!"
He then went to the county office.
"The two asked about some wood, paint and the like, all of which can be burned."
Cao Ying asked: "How do you determine that they want to set a fire?"
"When they ask questions, they will cover their mouths or touch their noses from time to time. This is lying. But why do you need to lie when asking these questions? Just ask."
Cao Ying coughed dryly, "Covering your mouth or touching your nose is a lie?"
Yue Er nodded, and the aura of an expert came to him, "This is how the villain was when he first started to lie."
Cao Ying went into the backyard and looked for Yang Xuan.
"The two of them are asking about the wood of the shop, the paint of the other shop, or testing the situation of guarding the construction site at night. Mr. Lang, I'm afraid there is really a problem."
"Keep an eye on them. In addition, the sergeant patrolling the streets at night will ask King Wei as usual. If he is willing, let him hide in a house near the shop with his guards and act according to the signal."
"yes!"
Cao Ying resigned.
Just as he turned around, Yang Xuan said: "Old Cao."
"Lang Jun." Cao Ying turned around.
Yang Xuan said: "You are quite lonely, why don't you find a girl to spend time with?"
"My husband has not yet accomplished his great cause, so I have no such thoughts."
Cao Ying suddenly lowered her eyes and looked at her hand touching her nose.
…
In the afternoon, Yue Er closed the stall, pushed the cart and returned home with his son. He said proudly: "I earned two more knives today."
Mrs. Zhang had just finished her work when she checked the accounts and wondered, "How come the sales are so small today?"
Yue Er squatted there and said with a smile: "I have something to do today."
Mrs. Zhang was angry, "There are two children in the family. Although the eldest does not spend money to study, he can go out decently at least! He must have good clothes and shoes; the second child is getting older now and eats hard. Also, the two children
I have to marry a wife in the future. If I don’t save money now, what will I marry in the future? Marry a pig?"
Yue Er just laughed.
The feeling of being punched on the quilt made Zhang even more angry, "The boss and the second brother will have to have their own houses when they get married, and when they have children, they will have to prepare more houses... Our house is not big enough to live in."
?If you don’t save money now, your whole family will be crowded together in the future?”
"Hehe!" Yue Er smiled proudly.
"Still laughing!" Ms. Zhang said bitterly: "I'll let you sleep on the roof then!"
Yue Er raised his eyebrows, "My husband discovered two thieves earlier."
Mrs. Zhang was startled, "What kind of thief? Stealing things?"
"No, thieves who want to set fire to the city."
"Isn't it easy to set fires in the city?" Ms. Zhang wondered. "As soon as it was set on fire, people at home discovered it and called the neighbors and the sergeants who patrolled the city. The county also taught how to set up isolation belts. Besides, several places are separated by
Yes, even if it is set on fire, it will not burn much."
"The shops are close to each other!" Yue Er said: "There are a lot of wood and paint piled up inside. If a fire breaks out, it will burn to the front, back and sides in the blink of an eye. Tsk tsk! This is going to burn the whole city!"
"Did you find it?"
"Um!"
"Have you ever gone to report it?"
"It went naturally."
Mrs. Zhang rubbed her hands together and said, "The Ming Dynasty treats us well, but those bitch slaves can't stand it and want to sabotage it. I'll go buy some wine."
"I want good wine!" Yue Er drooled.
"knew."
"Aye." Yue Dashu came home from school.
After hearing this, Yue Dashu said: "Ah, we don't have county schools in many places in Chenzhou! In order for the Ming Dynasty to run schools for us, the food in the county schools is much worse. It is said that even the Ming Dynasty wants to have a meal of mutton.
We have to find an excuse. Aye, the Ming Dynasty treats us really well."
"Um!"
Yue Er nodded, "Aye understands."
Later, Yue Er went to the county house.
Handing over the two short knives, Yue Er lowered his head and said, "The villain was greedy earlier, thinking that those two people would definitely die, so he quietly collected the two knives and resold them to make money."
What a cunning people in the market! Cao Ying said with a smile: "Why do you want to hand it over again?"
Yue Er lowered his head, feeling sincerely ashamed for the first time, "Although the villain turned out to be a liar, liars also have rules. Good people can't cheat, let alone people who treat you well, otherwise the sky will strike like lightning. The villain is big.
My son was studying in the county school, and when he came back he told the villain that the Ming Dynasty couldn't even afford mutton to run the school. The villain looked at the child's eyes and wanted to find a way to get in..."
His face turned red, "Mingfu is treating us well!"
Cao Ying watched him leave, feeling slightly moved in her heart.
Later he found Yang Xuan and relayed Yue Er's words.
"Lang Jun, this is enlightenment!" Cao Ying said with emotion: "In the past, the so-called enlightenment of officials was to encourage learning and guide good deeds. They talked more and did less. Lang Jun only acted but did not talk, but there was peace.
The style of simplicity.”
Lao Cao is still a bit idealistic... Yang Xuan said: "The people must be fed and clothed before you can educate them. When you are hungry and shivering in the cold wind, what do you think about etiquette, justice, integrity and shame?
Can you listen?"
He said the two sentences he said in the Imperial College.
"If you have a solid storehouse, you will know etiquette; if you have enough food and clothing, you will know honor and disgrace."
Cao Ying was silent for a long time, then handed over her hands and said, "I would like to be taught."
The dinner was steamed buns. The old thief squatted under the eaves and sniffed, "It smells like beef."
The slaughter of cattle was strictly prohibited in the Tang Dynasty, but this is a grassland, and cattle are not a rare thing here.
The gray buns in the meat and bone soup reminded Yang Xuan of the food show in the scroll, where all kinds of noodles made people want to eat.
Take a sip of the soup first, it's delicious.
Add a few buns and it will become quite chewy.
Although Yang Xuan made ramen, Yi Niang still preferred making traditional buns.
"It's delicious." Cao Ying praised.
"It's so delicious!" The old thief's flattery went to a higher level.
But Yi Niang didn't respond.
"It's delicious." Wang Laoer said, and Yi Niang said proudly: "It seems to be really delicious."
The son of a family of treacherous ministers, only Wang Lao Er is honest.
Five miles outside the city, three hundred riders were also eating.
They ate dry food and drank water while eating.
Dong Huan was the leader of the Three Hundred Cavalry. He was eating and looking ahead.
In the darkness, someone asked: "What if there is no way to light a fire in the city tonight?"
Dong Huan said: "Then tomorrow."
"We still have to open the city gate!"
…
Farther away, three thousand riders were also having dinner.
Same as dry food.
The two brothers Hua Zhuo and Wahai were sitting on the floor. Naturally, they were treated differently, including dried meat, cheese, and milk wine.
Wahai finished eating early and said, "This will make my entry into the city more secure."
Hua Zhuo shook his head, "I think so too, but I'm just afraid that you will be recognized by them."
Wahai sighed, "Back then you dared to lead a dozen people to raid the leader's tent, surrounded by hundreds of guards, but you never looked back and killed the leader in the end. Where was your courage back then? But it dissipated as you became Khan for a long time.
Is it done?"
Hua Zhuo took a sip of milk wine, with memories in his eyes, "We were a small tribe back then. If the leader hadn't exploited him too much, I wouldn't have thought of killing anyone. But he was so cruel! He asked for too many cattle, sheep, and horses every year, so I gave them to him.
We will starve to death, and if we don’t give it to the leader, we will be killed.”
At that time, Hua Zhuo was still young and a newborn calf. The small tribe could not bear the attack demanded by the leader, so he finally chose to assassinate the leader.
In that battle, Hua Zhuo charged forward without hesitation. After beheading the leader, he came out carrying the leader's head and ordered him to kneel down to the guards.
After a while, except for Wahai, there was no one standing in front of him.
"As long as we are ruthless enough, nothing in this world can stop us!" Hua Zhuo drank the wine in one gulp and threw the wine bag on the ground. "Wahai, if you want to be a master, you have to keep making progress. Why are the three major departments being
Tanzhou is in control? It’s all because of lack of unity.”
Wahai shook his head, "Everyone has his own ambitions, and it's impossible for them to work together. Besides, if we really can work together, who will we listen to? Sooner or later we will kill each other just to listen to who we listen to."
Hua Zhuo said calmly: "But what if we can unify the three major departments?"
Wahai was shocked, "You..."
Hua Zhuo smiled and said: "Do you think that since I became a khan, I have become depressed and only think about having fun? I have been thinking about how to unify the three major ministries. Last time Yang Xuan sent troops to kill two businessmen, and killed one
Small tribe, Wahai, those merchants roaming all over the grassland, they will describe me as a despicable person who only cares about asking for contributions but does not know how to protect the tribe."
Wahai was silent.
"If we don't change all this, let alone unify the three major ministries, sooner or later there will be big problems within Vashe."
Wahai then spoke, "Yang Xuan acted viciously."
"Yes, so I can only be more vicious than him." Hua Zhuo grinned, "It's time to use the insiders who worked so hard to buy in the city."
"Yang Xuan opened the door for business and ignored those who came into the city. This gave us an opportunity."
"More than 20 people have already sneaked into the city. They are all dead soldiers. Once the fire breaks out tonight, taking advantage of the chaos in the city, they will attack the city gate. Once the city gate opens, three hundred cavalry will attack. Let's follow up.
And here comes Wahai..."
Hua Zhuo's eyes were blazing, "Don't forget, when the Jibo tribe attacked Zhang Yu County, they were defeated by Yang Xuan. Once the peace is broken, when Yang Xuan's head is flying on our banner, I will become the leader of the grassland.
The hero, the Khan in everyone’s heart!”
There was also more joy in Wahai's eyes.
"With such power, if we take advantage of the situation and call on the three major ministries to join forces to plot Chenzhou, He Lianchun will also pay attention."
"When we approached the city, that slutty fox forced us to withdraw. Do you know what I was thinking at that time?"
"Hate! Hate that we are not strong enough!"
"Yang Xuan wanted to do business and make money. There were countless cars and horses in the city, and the population was also much larger. Once a fire broke out, you can imagine the chaos in the city."
Hua Zhuo stood up and said with a stern look, "Wahai, I will become a khan on the grassland. I can still hold my head high when facing Beiliao. Sooner or later, I will replace their khan!"
…
The night is getting darker.
At the top of the city, Li Han squatted there, feeling quite dissatisfied.
In his opinion, he should be in charge of such matters. As for Yang Xuan, he should be in charge. But Yang Xuan assigned him to the top of the city to guard against enemy troops attacking the city gate.
The key is not to drink.
King Wei was even more furious.
As the number one master in the city, Yang Xuan actually asked him to hide in a private house instead of leading the cavalry to charge.
The key is not to drink.
Hey!
When did I become so good at drinking?
There was sudden movement outside.
A man turned back toward the room and raised his hand to his lips.
"Shh!"
Outside, several dark figures waited for the sergeants patrolling the city to pass by, then sneakily approached the store.
There was a long stretch of shops, and several dark figures walked separately to the edge.
Look at each other.
Prepare to light the fire.
Just as they were about to take out their arson tools, they heard the sound of chirping.
Who is lighting the fire so loudly?
The leading shadow was furious and just wanted to stand up.
puff!
The fire started in the middle of the long street.
The fire head goes down.
boom!
A fire was suddenly lit.
Fire shot into the sky.
The light of fire is the signal to take action.
Several dark figures stood there.
We didn’t light the fire!
"Kill!"
There were shouts of killing from the direction of the city gate all day long.
Just as a few dark figures were about to light a fire, the door of the residence on the side opened.
A burly man came out first.
He held a giant knife and said with a ferocious smile: "This king is here..."
Whoosh whoosh!
A hail of arrows flew behind him.
Several shadows were struck by arrows and fell.
King Wei: "..."
After a while, King Wei's roar echoed through Taiping City.
