Meng Bi did not dare to be less than devoted, nor did he dare to hide anything. The picture Su Ren painted for him was too cruel. His father Meng Ji was dead. As the current head of the Meng family, he had to bear the fate of the Meng family.
, even if you can't afford it, you still have to risk your life to carry it. Meng must have written it with tears, and wrote the whole thing clearly. Occasionally, tears fell on the bamboo slips, and he would quickly use them.
Wipe your sleeves clean and fill in the word again.
Leng Jun didn't like to see the bullying of orphans and widowed mothers, so he left Meng Mansion early. He walked along the street to the south gate alone. He couldn't understand how Su Ren knew about such scary words? And Su Ren didn't know.
Ren's expression and language matched well, and he didn't look like a person who said this for the first time. Could it be said that Su Ren was a heinous villain before? Or that Su Ren had been deceiving himself? Leng Jun couldn't understand.
He felt a headache.
Seeing that Leng Jun was in a daze, Twelve Niang asked quickly: "What's wrong? Why didn't Mr. Su come back?"
"He is waiting for Meng Bi's confession!"
"Oh? It seems that Meng Bi knew that their fate was over and made the right choice."
Leng Jun glanced at Twelve Niang: "What kind of person is Su Ren?"
Twelve Niang was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean?"
The conversation between the two attracted Su Kai and Thirteen Niang. When Leng Jun asked Twelve Niang what she thought of Su Ren, Thirteen Niang interjected: "Mr. Su is very resourceful and has an indescribable feeling. I always
I feel that Mr. Su cannot see through it. He seems to have experienced a lot of things, but sometimes he is slow to react. Generally speaking, Mr. Su is very different from us."
"You think so too?"
Su Kai asked: "What happened again?"
Leng Jun put aside what Su Ren said to scare Meng Ji, and looked at the stupid eyes of several people: "You didn't expect it, right? Su Ren could say such a thing. If I hadn't heard it with my own ears, I always felt that it could only come from
Those robbers who kill without batting an eye say they are still cold-blooded and ruthless robbers!"
Su Kai fell into deep thought, and his curiosity about Su Ren increased even more.
Holding the bamboo slips written by Meng Bi, Su Ren read them for a long time. Not only were they obscure and difficult to understand, but he actually knew many of the characters. After coming to Han Dynasty for more than a year, Su Ren had been learning those difficult-to-recognize seal characters all the time.
Unfortunately, there is a big gap between those seal characters and the simplified characters of later generations, and mistakes are often made.
Putting away the bamboo slips, Su Ren smiled: "Very good! You have saved the lives of everyone in your Meng family! As long as what you write is correct, I guarantee the safety of your Meng family!"
Huang Shisan was asked to leave a few people to continue to monitor the Meng family, and he took the bamboo slips to go to the prefect's mansion. This matter could not be hidden from Wen Dang. Since he was determined to fight Hou Jian, Wen Dang got the support of Wen Dang.
Although Dang was not a competent prefect, his prestige in Shu County was very high. To appease the people, Wen Dang was the most suitable person to do.
He handed Meng Bi's confession to Wen Dang. Wen Dang quickly took it, read it carefully, and handed it to Chang Shi: "Oh! This Hou Jian actually spent so much money. He can come up with so much money. It's considered a big deal."
It’s a desperate move.”
After reading Chang Shi, he closed the bamboo slip and said, "All the money he took was from the Meng family. Why wouldn't he do it? Meng Bi was the same, watching helplessly as Hou Jian took all their family property to recruit troops. As the head of the Meng family,
, how could I bear such a tone! There were many servants in the Meng family at that time, and Hou Jian was only the master and servant. How could he let Hou Jian walk away with the money so easily? It's really pitiful and sad!"
Wen Dang looked at Su Ren: "Now that we know Hou Jian's method of controlling the county soldiers, is there any way Zi Heng can crack it?"
Su Ren thought for a while: "One hundred thousand dollars is neither too much nor too little. If it is given to one person, it is an astronomical figure. However, there are still thousands of soldiers and horses outside the city. Even if Hou Jian divides the money equally among everyone,
People, each person is only a hundred dollars, of course, Hou Jian will not share it equally, and Sima will not agree to share it equally among the chiefs, corps commanders, and military commanders who did not come to the banquet. According to my guess, everyone will end up losing money.
The amount of money in the hands of each soldier is ten coins."
Everyone nodded repeatedly. Chang Shi shouted: "Will Su Bingcao let us also pay to buy those county soldiers?"
"This is also a way!" Wen Dang said: "Hou Jian can give out 100,000 yuan, and we can give out 200,000 yuan. I will raise money right away. I hope you won't be stingy! For the sake of Chengdu and the people, we can't let it go anymore.
These county soldiers are doing whatever they want!"
"Ah!" As a standard money fan, he quickly looked at Su Ren with a look of help: "What other plans does Su Bingcao have?"
Su Ren smiled: "Don't worry, I won't let you pay a cent! Since these county soldiers were bought by Hou Jian with money, let's treat them as they were treated!"
Early the next morning, the sun had just emerged in the east. A blood-red cloud appeared in the sky, which was particularly eye-catching under the morning sun. When the breeze blew, the cloud moved towards Chengdu City, and was about to reach the top of the head.
The legs of servants drawn from various large families began to tremble. They knew that at dawn, the county soldiers would attack the city, and they would most likely die here.
Su Ren led Hawking on patrol on the city wall, passing by everyone with a smile on his face. Sometimes he would reach out and pat the guards or servants who were standing upright, and give him a few words of encouragement. Leng Jun and Su Kai took their respective
His wife watched from a distance, guessing how Su Ren would respond to the siege by the county soldiers today.
Everyone knows that today is a difficult day, and Su Ren's dress is very different from usual. Su Ren is wrapped in a piece of leather armor that he bought from somewhere, and there is also a pendant hanging on his waist.
However, when Su Ren wore this outfit, he didn't look heroic at all. Instead, he felt ridiculous. Su Ren was too thin, and the areas that should be straightened up were not stretched at all, and the areas that should be closed were not closed at all.
Too tight.
"Listen up, you'll be full in a while. Those people outside the city have nothing to fear. As long as we can withstand the first wave, the rest will be easy to handle!" Su Ren stood on the parapet and held up one hand.
He held Hawking's shoulder and put one hand on the hilt of the sword: "We have a city wall to protect us, but they don't have weapons to attack the city. If they want to come up, they have to fill it with people. Look at the city wall and those county soldiers. They can definitely hold it."
, as long as you persist for one day, I, Su Ren, promise to give everyone ten dollars!"
"Okay!" There must be a brave man under the heavy reward. Although ten coins are not much, you can still sell one stone of rice. As a servant of a big family, you are their slave. Let alone the money, you can't even eat enough.
Ten coins are certainly worth fighting for. Maybe God won't let you die?
As the smoke rose, the soldiers outside the city began to make rice. The rice grains were given to them by Su Ren. Everyone had a large bowl with two pieces of meat on top. This was only seen when there was a war.
Hateful, this is how the soldiers of Han Dynasty are treated.
Da Hei Niu glanced at Junhou and Sima who were sitting not far away, drinking wine and eating meat, and then looked at the two pieces of lean meat in his bowl that were about to become dried meat, with a depressed look on his face. He wanted to throw it away.
I couldn't make up my mind, so I hesitated for a long time and put it in my mouth.
Han Laoliu chuckled: "What? Not convinced? It's good to have meat! If you don't want to eat it, give it to me?"
"Hmph!" The big black cow snorted coldly and quickly stuffed the second piece of meat into his mouth: "Why should officials eat meat and drink wine? We only have this little and we are still so thin!"
"Just because he is a military commander and a Sima? If you are not convinced, you can become a military commander and let me take advantage of you!"
The big black cow muttered and moved to Han Laoliu: "Uncle Liu, have you heard? Someone in the camp said that he saw that Hou Jian got more than 50,000 yuan, it seemed to be 500,000 yuan.
"
"Huh? Five hundred thousand?" Han Laoliu exclaimed, but felt something was wrong, and quickly lowered his voice: "So many? Then why did the Marquis and Sima say there were only fifty thousand?"
The big black cow smiled: "What do you think? Aren't they all pocketed?"
Han Laoliu glared: "These idiots, let's go and fight, but they took away so much money for no reason. No, I'm going to talk to the military commander."
"Okay, just save it! If you dare to ask, believe it or not, the military commander will chop you down!"
"How dare he! I have no problem with them taking more money from us, but they can't take so much money from our hard work!" Han Laoliu's beard was shaking. He was a relative of the former county captain, and he usually treated him badly when the county captain was around.
He took great care of him, and he could get two if others took one. Suddenly he became like other big-headed soldiers, and felt very unbalanced: "I am also a very good person, so I should get more than you!"
When Da Hei Niu heard this, his face immediately darkened: "What's wrong with Shi Chang? If you have the ability, go to the military commander!"
It only took one morning for Hou Jian to get half a million dollars, but word spread in the barracks. Not only did the soldiers feel unbalanced, but even the officers who were not taken seriously were also unbalanced. How much money did Hou Jian get?
, only a few leading military commanders knew about it, and no one else had seen it. Faced with so many people's questioning, those military commanders tried their best to talk, but no one believed it.
A Sima who thought he was excluded from the inner circle pulled out his sword and pointed at the leading military commander: "If you don't give us an explanation today, I won't do it! You guys are working together to cheat everyone's hard-earned money.
, who knows what you guys will do when you get to Chengdu? If you don’t hand over the money, you won’t be able to go to Chengdu!”
"Yes, if you don't hand over the money, you won't be able to go to Chengdu!" Many people responded, surrounding several military commanders.
The leading military officer wiped the sweat from his forehead: "It's really only 50,000 yuan. We didn't hide any of it privately. If you don't believe it, you can ask the county lieutenant to make it clear!"
"Please wait for the county captain to explain clearly!"
In desperation, the leading military commander led a group of indignant soldiers towards Hou Jian's tent. The military camp was already a mess, but Hou Jian didn't show up, which made the excited soldiers even more suspicious of the half-million yuan.
The thing is true.
Before they reached the entrance of Hou Jian's tent, a soldier ran out of the tent rolling and crawling, shouting as he ran: "He's dead, he's dead! The Hou County Captain is dead!" (To be continued)
