"I don't know Jin...I don't know why you have to come to my mountain gate?"
"Come to ransack the house."
"..."
"Don't worry, try not to kill anyone."
Zhang Xing saw that the other party was in a daze and was rarely willing to come out to negotiate, so he responded sincerely. "Go back and tell your family who can take care of things. There are now four groups of twelve groups of six hundred Jiangdu camp soldiers outside, plus one group of three groups and one group of soldiers."
One hundred and fifty Jinwu guards, seven Danyang County government officials, nineteen Lishui County government officials, and eight Jinyi patrolmen from Jingantai, the eastern capital, plus a left-behind son of Deputy Zhou who can dispatch the Jiangdu camp army at any time.
Please...please think about it yourself, and those who can take the initiative to come out and talk to me in person, that is, even if the house is ransacked, it can be negotiated, otherwise, the chickens and dogs will not be spared...The time limit is before noon, we can wait for the time being.
"
That's right, it was a sunny day after the snow. On this morning, when the army suddenly surrounded the main house of the Danyang Yu family in Lishui, the person who came out to negotiate was actually a middle-aged governor, not a few years of the Yu family's direct lineage.
The elders are not even those talented men from Jiangdong who were known as the Yu clan's Sanshui.
After hearing the general idea, everyone was so frightened that their faces were ashen, their limbs were trembling, and they didn't dare to say a word, so they staggered back to the door, and waited until the sun approached due south, but there was no movement, which made the surrounding soldiers eager to try.
"Show off your spirit like Mr. Zhou..."
Seeing this, Zhang Xing became a little impatient, but he complained to Mr. Zhou Xingfan, "Let them be more honest. Don't be embarrassed here like they have never seen the world. When I come to ransack the house, they must be properly assigned... It's really chaotic.
Even if the moisture is uneven, everyone feels that they are at a disadvantage. The key point is that once chaos breaks out, objects will inevitably be damaged and money and food will be lost. Who will benefit from it? "
Zhou Xingfan had no choice but to restrain him.
There was no other way. In order to accomplish this in one fell swoop and create a surprise attack, the troops were divided into three groups to search the house this time. Bai Yousi didn't mention it all the way, Hu Yan led Jin Gong's Lingjian all the way, and then Zhang Xing led Zhou Gongzi again.
In other words, Mr. Zhou is Zhang Xing’s golden arrow.
However, just when Zhou Xingfan left to restrain his father's subordinates, the door opened again, and then a middle-aged man with a pale face and dressed in white walked out surrounded by several people who looked like housekeepers.
"Yu Henshui, who is dressed in white, has seen the imperial envoy." The visitor was stunned and bowed in front of the yellow gelding.
"How can we meet again in life?" Zhang Xing was startled for a moment, but immediately sneered on his horse, and then slightly cupped his hands. "Zhang Xing, white ribbon, met Mr. Henshui of Yu family's Sanshui. We said goodbye on the river. It seems that you are still there."
healthy."
The other party raised his head in astonishment, looked at me for a moment, and then for some reason, he actually covered his face and shed tears on the spot: "It turns out that what the imperial envoy said that day was actually true... After I escaped back, I felt that the imperial envoy was scaring me, and I was afraid of embarrassment, so I didn't tell him.
family."
"Fortunately, I didn't tell you, otherwise it would have been really troublesome." Zhang Xing didn't bother to explain. "Mr. Henshui, if you had told me, there would have been a bloody disaster today... It's not as efficient as we can do it through consultation and consideration.":.
Yu Henshui shook his head and shed tears everywhere. It took a lot of effort to contain these emotions, and then he tried his best to respond: "The imperial envoy said that he wanted to ransack the house, but he had to say something clearly... Why did he suddenly
Want to confiscate your home? The imperial court...the imperial court...why did the imperial court suddenly do so? Neither did we..."
At the end of the sentence, I was choked up and speechless.
"Mr. Henshui, we hit it off immediately. We are like brothers. There is nothing we can't say."
Zhang Xing stood condescendingly on the yellow horse and responded seriously.
"Actually, things are not as exaggerated as you think. For example, the imperial court regards you as a thorn in the side... You are not worthy... It is that the seven counties in Jiangdong caused some trouble and lacked a lot of food. The imperial court sent us down to collect food, and we found that
This basket is too big. There is really nothing we can do. No food can be distributed anywhere. Then you see that all the Jiangdong powerful men were killed by Yang Bin when he suppressed the rebellion that day. Only the common people and you are left. But
It would be against your conscience to ask the common people to pay for food any more, so I have to suffer for you."
Yu Henshui shook his head: "I didn't understand."
"You don't understand normality from your family background." Zhang Xing sighed. "Then you understand... The higher-ups want food and are afraid that the people will rebel, but you are wimps, so I have to let you go."
Yu Henshui thought for a moment, but was still confused: "I understand what you said, but if it's just a shortage of food, why can't you borrow food directly? Do you have to ransack your home?"
"Because I borrow food directly, you are definitely not willing to borrow it, and you need it in a hurry." Zhang Xing became more and more impatient. "So we ransacked the house first. If there is a quarrel, the food can still escape?"
At this point, seeing the other party's eyes turning red again, and Zhou Xingfan also returning from riding, Zhang Xing was completely impatient, pointed directly at the sun and scolded: "Don't cry, I told you, we can't reach an agreement before noon, so we will
Send the troops in... You are crying here, do you really want the three hundred years of civilization of the Yu family in Danyang to be destroyed just to save some food?"
Yu Henshui immediately stopped his tears and said, "Zhang Baishou said it's easy to discuss?"
"yes."
Zhang Xing sighed, and then raised his voice and announced, "What I mean is this. If we don't use force, we must ensure that all the food stored in your home, including your houses in various counties and cities, is handed over. As for those who come to surround you,
Here, not to mention storing grain, chickens, ducks, sheep, and pigs, as well as bacon and salted fish for the Chinese New Year, must also be handed over. The geese for practicing calligraphy and the cranes for viewing are all edible anyway, so they only need to be handed over as grain.
Don't keep a penny...if you keep it, you will die!
"All the copper coins in the house are also taken out and distributed to the soldiers, Jinwu guards, and government officials. None of them can be retained. And half of all the gold and silver must be taken out and distributed to the officers and the cavalry in fine uniforms... But this is not guaranteed, because the gold and silver
There may be more, so the scraps of money may have to be divided and profited... You can't keep this secret. If you hide it, if I find it, I will fine you ten times!
"Finally, as you know, Mr. Zhou and I are also considered to be intellectuals, so you have to bring out ten heirloom calligraphy and paintings, Mr. Zhou and I each have five pieces, and then ten jewels and jade treasures. Five of them are
I want to give them to the guests, and there are five more items to give to our Zhongcheng... Also, I need one more good horse to accompany me on my royal tour.
If you deal with it like this, I guarantee that your home will be safe and its foundation will be intact, but if you dare to resist, I will kill you with a knife and an arrow, and I will kill you and your dogs... Do you understand?"
Yu Henshui thought for a while and asked seriously: "How can Zhang Baishui ensure that it can be carried out fairly?"
"Open the gate, tear down the wall of the front yard, I will lead fifty soldiers in, and in front of everyone, we will decide the present... Even if we act like this, we will make mistakes, it will be enough to convince everyone." Zhang Xing said proudly.
right.
"In that case, I will go back and report now." Yu Henshui handed him over and turned back with the support of the left and right officials.
When he walked to the front door of his house, he remembered something and turned around again and handed over his hand: "One last question, Zhang Baishou, please tell me whether it is just our Yu family or the eight Jiangdong families who are looting together?"
"together."
Zhang Xingzai immediately smiled knowingly. "After I ransack your house, I will also go to the Huan family. There are also two groups of people going to surround the Chen family and the Gu family, and they are all rude people... However, I have to say something.
To be honest, both the Wang family and the Xie family still have masters of elixir condensation, so I need to use you as an example before making the final decision..."
Yu Henshui was determined and immediately returned to his house. A moment later, after Zhang Xing ordered everyone to prepare their crossbows, the door to the Yu family's ancestral house in Danyang finally opened before noon.
