Chapter 14

Xiang Yicheng was stunned for a moment and said strangely: "Ah! It turns out it's Mr. Zhang, what's going on?"

Zhang Peng cried and said, "You asked me, you said you wanted to borrow a place from me, so I borrowed it from you. Who would have thought you would have brought so many disaster stars? Someone actually buried the ** in my orange orchard. With a bang, all my tribute oranges..."

Zhang Peng sobbed twice and said sadly: "Everything exploded!"

Xiang Yicheng said in shock: "Buried **? This..."

Xiang Yicheng looked at Ye Xiaotian, and Ye Xiaotian smiled at Zhang Peng and said, "This is the owner of the orange orchard. I will make up for your losses. I have bought all these oranges."

Zhang Yuanwai said angrily: "You have bought them all? What's the use of buying them all? You can't pay tribute this year. My family may be disqualified from tribute oranges next year!"

Xiang Yicheng said disapprovingly: "The royal tribute has always been given the lowest price. If you can't make a lot of money, so what if you don't pay?"

Mr. Zhang snorted coldly, "What do you know! With the golden signboard of tribute oranges, people know that even the emperor can eat our oranges, so that oranges will be worth a hundred times more than they can!"

Xiang Yicheng stroked his hand and said, "The orange orchard in your house is so big. All the oranges are enshrined in the court. Even if they are worth a hundred times the price, will there be oranges sold to others?"

Mr. Zhang snorted coldly, "What do you know! I just bought some oranges from other places and sold them. As long as I say they were produced in my home, it would be worth a hundred times the price!"

When Ye Xiaotian heard that it was such a bad businessman, he felt disgusted and said coldly: "Since that's the case, this official will go and ask the murderer for compensation and say goodbye!"

After Ye Xiaotian finished speaking, he said to Feng Yicheng: "Sir, please!"

Mr. Zhang was anxious and hurriedly chased after him and said, "Hey! Don't leave, don't leave, then tell me, what price will you pay for these oranges?"

Deputy General Pi happened to walk out of the woods, and when he saw this, he stood outside Mr. Zhang with a knife. He scolded viciously: "What's the price? Grandma! You are a profiteer who has no assholes, get out of me, dare to make noise again and cut your tongue!"

Seeing that the army was poor and poor, Zhang Yuanwai didn't dare to argue with him, so he had to hide aside in disappointment, muttering himself. Xiang Yicheng wondered and said to Ye Xiaotian: "Mr. Ye, what's going on..."

As soon as he said this, many military men carried their bodies out of the forest. There were about a dozen, one of which was tilted to the side. Xiang Yicheng recognized at a glance. It was Mu Dong who was roaring loudly yesterday when he grabbed his neck and roared loudly. Xiang Yicheng's voice suddenly choked.

Ye Xiaotian said lightly: "It's the people who had a dispute with you in front of the inn yesterday. They have a grudge against me and want to wait for an opportunity to kill me."

After Ye Xiaotian finished speaking, he said to Deputy General Pi: "General Pi, have their remnants arrested?"

Deputy General Pi nodded and said, "No, it seems that their subordinates did not know what happened last night. When we arrived in Beicheng, they seemed to have no idea what happened, but they surrendered one by one, and there was nothing to do. But they had a lot of people. In order to avoid business accidents, I sent someone to take care of them on the spot and did not take them over."

As he was talking, he heard that the imperial envoy arrived at the scene and hurriedly picked up the county magistrate who had just returned from the imperial envoy and came over. When he saw that the scene was still in chaos, he felt very embarrassed in front of the imperial envoy, and couldn't help but scold the military men and said, "Where are your military leaders, why haven't you come back yet?"

A military man hurried to find Deputy General Pi Qian. Deputy General Pi Qian rushed over to see the county magistrate. He didn't dare to neglect it. The county magistrate is the seventh-rank official seal. He, a military officer, wanted to be at least level four higher than others, and level three higher is only a courtesy of the same level.

Deputy General Pi pressed the knife and bowed slightly and said, "But the county magistrate is in front of him?"

County Magistrate Yan nodded and said, "You are Deputy General Manager Pi? What's going on? In my Ziyang County, we fired and killed people. I, the county magistrate, knew nothing! Do you know that an imperial envoy in this county came and scared the imperial envoy. Can you afford to be guilty?"

Xu Boyi stood proudly beside County Magistrate Yan in a glamorous eunuch uniform, but when he turned his eyes, he suddenly saw a familiar figure in the distance, and he stood there motionless as if he had been immersed in a fixed manner.

Although Deputy General Pi is not abolished, he is not under the jurisdiction of County Magistrate Yan, so he is not afraid of him. Instead, he saw a majestic eunuch standing next to him, and he was a little worried. Then he patiently explained: "County Master, we didn't fire or have any fireworks. This was a bomb. Last night..."

Ye Xiaotian did not notice Xu Boyi's gaze. After Deputy Qian of Xiang hurriedly left, he was solemnly bowing to Xiang Yicheng and said, "Sir Yicheng, you have saved Ye's life! Please receive a gift from Xiaotian!"

Ye Xiaotian said that, and bowed to Xiang Yicheng long. Xiang Yicheng hurriedly supported him and said with a confused look on his face: "Xiang doesn't know what happened at all, how could he save Lord Ye? Ah! Could it be..."

Xiang Hongchen sniffed the smell in the air, and suddenly realized it, Ye Xiaotian smiled and nodded, and said, "No! Yesterday, it was because of your Yicheng's words that saved Ye's life!"

...

Yesterday, Orangery.

Xiang Yicheng smiled and said, "Xiang is good at cooking. Thank you for your hard work. Xiang will cook a few dishes in person later and send them to you to try."

Deputy General Pi smiled and thanked him repeatedly. The general flag sent Xiang Yicheng out with a few hundred households very politely. He took two steps towards Yicheng, suddenly stopped, sniffed in confusion, and said to himself: "Strange, why does it smell strange here?"

Mr. Pi said, "There is no strange smell. It smells like orange."

Xiang Yicheng shook his head and said, "The general doesn't know anything. Xiang is good at cooking and has a particularly sensitive sense of smell. He does have a strange smell."

Deputy General Pi looked back at the officers around and cursed, "Who are you guys, who are you fart?"

The officers burst into laughter and said seriously to Yicheng: "It's not the smell of fart, it's the smell of sulfur, saltpeter, well... it's the smell of gunpowder. Do you have muskets in your army?"

Deputy General Pi said: "That thing is too delicate. It is not a smooth road this way. It is not as useful as a sword or a gun in the mountains. Who can bring a musket?"

Ye Xiaotian, who had just sat down, suddenly turned his head and looked at Xiang Yicheng, with a look of alert flashing in his eyes. Xiang Yicheng shook his head, smiled mockingly, and said, "Maybe Xiang has smelled the wrong smell."

Deputy General Pi sent Xiang Yicheng out of the orange orchard and returned to the house. He saw Ye Xiaotian bent over with his hands behind his back and walked step by step, as if he was measuring the house. Deputy General Pi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Sir Ye, what are you doing? Do you like the wild atmosphere and plan to build such a wild house in your house?"

Ye Xiaotian did not look up, but stared at the gaps in the bricks and floor and said to Deputy General Pi: "General Pi. Come and see, has the bricks and floors been turned over?"

Mr. Pi walked over in confusion, squatted over and looked carefully, nodded gently and said, "It seems to be relatively new, why?"

Ye Xiaotian squatted down and pried it with his hands a few times. The crack of the brick was too thin and could not be inserted into his fingers. When Mr. Pi saw it, he pulled out his sword and helped him pry up a brick. Ye Xiaotian reached out and touched the ground under the brick, and said in a deep voice: "This soil is new, not made of long-term pressure."

Mr. Pi said with a confused look on his face: "So what?"

Ye Xiaotian took a long breath and said, "General Pi, please find a few soldiers to dig up the ground."

Although Deputy General Pi regarded him as the financial master, he was not a slave whom he could help. He said unhappily: "Mr. Ye, what do you want to do? Everyone is already very tired from running all the way. You are still..."

Ye Xiaotian said: "Anyone who digs the ground will cost ten taels of silver each!"

Rich and willful!

Master Ye has a gold mine and two silver mines in Dawan Mountain. He really doesn’t have to worry about spending.

Vice President Pi didn't even let go of a single fart, and immediately turned around and walked to the door, shouting outside: "Come here and help Lord Ye dig the ground! Each one costs one tael of silver!"

With a "boom", the soldiers who were tilting around the orange orchard and resting in each other rushed over, pushing Deputy General Pi to the side.

Ye Xiaotian was followed by the enemy all the way. Dare not be cautious? His caution not only saved his life, but also saved the lives of deputy generals Pi and generals. After discovering the powder barrel, they found the end of it along the lead line.

Deputy General Pi was shocked and scared, and was about to dig out the powder keg on the spot, but Ye Xiaotian stopped it. Ye Xiaotian said: "General Pi, once the medicine is missing, will the person who buried the gunpowder still show his true form? If there is no powder keg, why should we cure his sins?"

So, they had the grass-roots to replace the soldiers, and all the personnel retreated into the deep forest at night and set up a series of arrangements for ambushing around the source of the gunpowder twist.

Ye Xiaotian said the matter concisely to Xiang Yicheng. Xiang Yicheng heard it as if he was in a dream and murmured to himself: "There is really gunpowder! Oh my God, I never expected it..."

On the other hand, Deputy General Pi also told the county magistrate in detail. Xu Boyi's shock and anger when he first met Ye Xiaotian had calmed down after such a long time. When Deputy General Pi explained the story, Xu Boyi really wanted to cut the damn Xiang Yicheng into pieces! This was the perfect opportunity to kill Ye Xiaotian! That talkative dog thing!

Xu Boyi took a long breath, a gentle smile was squeezed out on his face, and said to Deputy General Pi: "Pi Qian, why should this Chief of Woniuling Ye Xiaotian be escorted to the court for the crime?"

Deputy General Pi is unwilling to offend eunuchs. It is said that eunuchs are smaller than women. If they offend him, they will be able to hold a grudge against you for the rest of their lives.

Deputy General Pi quickly replied, "Hey! This matter is a long story, but in short, Chief Ye had an entanglement with several other chieftains. As a result, you killed me and I killed you in a fight. Chief Ye won, and the chieftain died. The family members of the chieftains refused to give up, and the governor was not easy to make a decision, so he had to take him to the capital and hand him over to the emperor for trial!"

Xu Boyi nodded and said with a smile: "So that's it!"

Xu Boyi turned his head and said to County Magistrate Yan: "All the tributes are damaged because this case is completely damaged. This imperial envoy must understand all the reasons and the results of the cessation before he can return to Beijing to report his life. County Lord, you must try this case as soon as possible. I will go back first."

Although County Magistrate Yan was a little curious about why the imperial envoy came and went in a hurry, he was not watching at the scene. County Magistrate Yan was relieved and said hurriedly: "I'll send the imperial envoy!"

Xu Boyi said lightly: "No need, the county magistrate will handle official duties, our family will say goodbye!"

Xu Boyi bowed to him and turned around and left. He didn't want to be seen by Ye Xiaotian. Although he was favored by Emperor Wanli, even if the emperor knew his former identity, it would be fine if he explained it carefully, but it would be a problem after all. Moreover, he would be able to deal with Ye Xiaotian in the dark. The open gun and the sharp arrows!
