Pan Yuan did not finish his words, but looked at Tang Yin in confusion and asked: "Why are brothers so concerned about this matter?"
Tang Yin's heart moved. This Pan Yuan seemed careless, but in fact he was quite cautious.
He said calmly: "I'm just curious! If Brother Pan doesn't trust my brother, just don't tell me!" As he spoke, he lowered his head pretending to be lonely, picked up the wine glass, and drank it all in one gulp.
Pan Yuan just asked casually, never doubting Tang Yin's intentions. When he saw this, he hurriedly smiled and said: "Why don't I trust you, brother?" After a pause, he leaned into Tang Yin's ear and whispered.
: "The secret warehouse is in the county capital!"
"Oh?" Tang Yin was stunned. When he was at the Fengjun camp, he had seen the city map of Bufeng and felt that the county capital was not very big. Could it accommodate so much grain? He also asked in a low voice.
Said: "Brother Pan, did you see it with your own eyes?"
"That's not true." Pan Yuan said seriously: "However, in recent times, whenever a larger grain transport team arrives in the county, they will pull the grain directly to the county capital, and then never be pulled out again.
There are only so many people in the capital, and it is impossible for them to eat so much food, so I speculated that there is a secret warehouse hidden in the county capital."
If this is the case, then Pan Yuan's speculation is very likely to be true. He thought so in his heart, but Tang Yinzui did not say so. He smiled disapprovingly and said: "It turns out it's just Brother Pan's assumption."
"What? Don't you believe it, brother?" Pan Yuan, who was already three-thirds drunk, stared.
"Believe, believe, believe!" Tang Yin said in a pretentious tone: "Brother Pan is a veteran and has rich experience. Brother Pan's guess will not be wrong."
"Well, brother, you can talk! Come on, do it!" "Do it!"
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Tang Yin summoned the landlady to pay the bill. They just ordered a few pots of low-quality rice wine, four plates of dishes, and six bowls of rice. When the bill was settled, it cost eight taels of silver.
Tang Yin didn't have a big idea about money. He took out all the broken silver and copper coins in his arms and scattered them on the table. He spread them out. He pushed them in front of the landlady and said, "Mrs.lady, click on it."
Is there enough money?”
"Too many." Before the landlady could say anything, Pan Yuan stood up unsteadily, picked out a few pieces from the broken silver, weighed them slightly in his hand, nodded, and said to the landlady: "Exactly eight taels!"
"Stingy!" Seeing that most of the broken silver and copper coins were left on the table, the landlady rolled her eyes at Pan Yuan angrily and muttered dissatisfiedly.
Pan Yuan didn't care at all. He took the landlady's hand and put the broken silver into her hand. Then he stroked it gently and said with a smile: "If the landlady can serve me tonight, all the money will be yours."
…”
"Who cares?" Before he could finish his words, the landlady had already withdrawn his hand and walked slowly back to the counter.
Tang Yin was a little surprised by the boss's wife's reaction. It seemed that this woman was just wild, but not slutty.
Tang Yin didn't care much about people or things that had nothing to do with him. He signaled to Letian and asked him to put away the loose money on the table, and then smiled at Pan Yuan and said: "Liuhua is intentional, Liushui is ruthless, Brother Pan, we still have
Walk!"
Pan Yuan didn't feel any embarrassment at being rejected. He laughed loudly and followed Tang Yin out of the restaurant. Outside, Tang Yin said: "Brother Pan drank some wine, so it's better not to go on duty. Otherwise, General Deng will find out."
be punished."
"It's okay, it's okay. This little drink is nothing. Even if General Deng does find out, the worst he can do is get twenty military sticks. Brother, I can survive." As he spoke, he raised his eyes to look at the direction of the sun.
He added: "It's getting late. I have to go back to the city gate. You go back to your residence first. I'll come find you later."
"Brother Pan, are you really okay?"
"fine!"
"Then... well, be careful yourself!" As he watched Pan Yuan go, the smile on Tang Yin's face disappeared. He shook his head at Letian and Cheng Jin and walked quickly to their residence.
Now the plan has changed. There is not only the open granary in the city, but also a hidden granary. This requires them to destroy both places at the same time.
After returning to their residence, Tang Yin and others immediately entered the main room and asked the secret assassins to guard the surrounding area. Then they closed the door tightly and they talked secretly in the room.
Cheng Jin first expressed his doubts and said: "Your Majesty, the fact that there is a secret warehouse in the city is just Pan Yuan's guess. It is difficult to distinguish between true and false!"
Tang Yin nodded and asked, "Letian, what do you mean?"
Letian pondered for a moment and said: "My subordinates feel that there is no need for Pan Yuan to lie to the king. According to what he said, a large amount of grain has been stored in the county capital. There is a high possibility that there is a secret warehouse hidden in it. Maybe Mo Ren is also there."
In order to prevent the spies sent by our army from sneaking into Bufeng, we made two preparations and set up the granary with one light and one dark. Even if the light warehouse was destroyed, there would still be a dark warehouse available. In addition, the county capital was heavily defended and there were no idle personnel.
It is suitable for blocking information and is the best place to hide a secret warehouse.”
Cheng Jin continued: "General Le's analysis is very reasonable. However, we are not afraid of ten thousand, but just in case. What if there is no secret warehouse in the county capital? Therefore, our top priority now is to quickly find out the secret warehouse in the county capital.
situation, whether there is a hidden warehouse or not.”
"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded and said, "What Cheng Jin said makes sense. Let me investigate this matter..."
"Your Majesty, are you going to investigate? How do you want to investigate, Your Majesty?" Letian and Cheng Jin asked in surprise.
Tang Yin scratched his hair and muttered in a low voice: "I have to think about it more carefully."
In the evening, when it was getting dark, Pan Yuan came. Judging from his refreshing appearance, it was obvious that he had not been punished for drinking. With his arrival, the small house where Tang Yin and others lived changed into a lifeless atmosphere.
It immediately became lively.
As soon as Pan Yuan entered the yard, he shouted: "Come out, come out, everyone, come out, quickly get the bowls and basins, and go get the meal. If you don't want to have dinner, you have to go to the restaurant!"
Following his shouting, Tang Yin and others walked out of the room one after another, all with blank faces. They didn't know what was going on with Pan Yuan.
Seeing that they were all stunned and not moving, Pan Yuan said anxiously: "Why are you still in a daze? Follow me to get the meal quickly. If it's too late, there won't be anything left."
It turned out that it was dinner time. Tang Yin and others ran to the kitchen together, took out all the pots and pans, and followed Pan Yuan to get the meal.
On the way, Tang Yin asked Pan Yuan: "Brother Pan, we brothers don't come to the county town often, and we don't know what interesting places there are in the county town."
Pan Yuan only wanted to get the meal quickly, and while looking forward, he said absently: "Everyone is almost gone now, how can there be any fun place..."
"Then...is there...a brothel or something like that..." Tang Yin asked in a low voice, embarrassed.
Phew! Pan Yuan was so angry that Feng Jun almost beat him right under his nose. People like Ma Wu were still thinking about the brothel! What a country bumpkin! He looked at Tang Yin, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "
With your brother's appearance, what kind of woman would you use a brothel if you can't find a woman? I think the landlady is very fond of you. If you really want a woman, brother can tell you on your behalf!"
"No, no, no, it's not me, it's my brothers who want to... want to visit a brothel and see the world."
"Haha!" Pan Yuan laughed and said: "Except for the soldiers who are still in the city, they are those who make money at the expense of their lives. Speaking of which, there is indeed a brothel, but don't think about it, it is for the general.
We have prepared it, but even if you want to spend the night, you can’t do it even if you have money. What they want now is gold!”
Tang Yin's heart moved and he asked: "Where is that brothel? Even if we don't go in, we can just take a look at the door."
Pan Yuan shook his head and said: "It's very obvious on Xuanwu Street in the west of the city. You can see it when you get there."
"Thank you, Brother Pan!"
"I think you shouldn't go looking for trouble. That kind of place is not for people like us..."
Tang Yin smiled and said nothing more. When he arrived at the place where he received the meal, it was already crowded with people. Looking around, the spacious streets were full of Mo soldiers. Some people were queuing up to receive the meal, and some had already received the meal.
People just sat on the street and started eating.
While queuing up with the crowd, Tang Yin raised his eyes and watched. There was a bucket of rice and a bucket of soup placed at the meal reception area. No one was handing out rice, so they all had to do it themselves. Everyone who had their turn picked up the rice spoon and poured it in with all their strength.
I put it in a bowl, for fear that I wouldn’t be full if it was too little.
Seeing this, Tang Yin smiled secretly in his heart, and whispered to Pan Yuan beside him: "Brother Pan, try to come as early as possible when receiving food in the future. It is best to be the first in line."
Pan Yuan said disapprovingly: "It doesn't matter if you come early or late. By the time you finish eating, your food will be gone."
Tang Yin said with a smile: "That's why I have to come early. First, fill up only half a bowl of rice and eat it as quickly as possible, and then queue up for the next bowl. This bowl will only hold as much as you can, so you can ensure you are full."
"Even if you unfortunately die in battle one day, you can still be a dead man!" He added silently in his heart.
Hey, why didn't I think of this method before? Pan Yuan looked at Tang Yin with surprise and joy, and praised: "Brother, you are so smart, this is a good method."
Tang Yin secretly laughed in his heart. When China was eating from a big pot, many people did this, especially in the countryside. He said with a smile: "Brother Pan, thank you." You also helped me a lot, this is a little repayment for you!
After a hasty meal, Pan Yuan went back to his own residence to rest, and Tang Yin and others also returned to the small shabby house where they settled.
At midnight, a black shadow emerged from the small house. The black shadow moved very fast, and appeared and disappeared, like a ghost.
