Chapter 991: The thunder at the Woniu Mountain, the silence in the Luopan Mountain
The capital was snowing, and Zheng County was snowing. In the middle of the night, the wind was tight and the mountains were cold. The fire was lit in the mountains, and dozens of people emerged from a secret passage.
The little princess straightened her waist and looked down at the mountain. She saw that the dark Zhengxian County town was dull and there were a few lights, just like the distant stars in the night sky.
What a great place to go.
This is a place where thieves often come from Woniu Mountain. According to their confession, this is a lookout for the county town from afar. Every time there is any action in the county town, they can discover it here as soon as possible and quickly report the matter to the parody. This is a very broad vision.
But do they need to be so careful?
"These people didn't tell the truth, and they still refused to tell them the fact that they colluded with the yamen." The little princess turned around and ordered, "Have you found out about their crimes?"
The central army scout who had entered here a few months ago replied: "The investigation was clear and almost no one should not be killed."
A thief is a thief. To put it nicely, it is still a thief. If you expect a thief to be loyal to others, then it is Mr. Zhendongguo.
"After the interrogation is clear and the records are made, no one should be killed will be left." The little princess ordered.
Following the secret passage back to the mountain, halfway up the mountain, there was a large mountain village hidden in the lush trees. There was everything in the mountain village, and even the fine salt produced in the western frontier. A waist knife hung on the tiger-skin chair, looking ordinary, but if it was opened, there was no trace of chopping on the blade.
Is this what the thieves said to have stolen weapons from officers and soldiers?
Maybe it was really stolen, but it may not be stolen after fighting.
The thieves had relatively strong anti-interrogation methods, and they did not ask about their relationship with the Zheng County Magistrate and the local local soldiers and the garrison for several days, but the physical evidence was enough to prove that they were colluding with officials and thieves.
The little princess checked the very standard account book in the parable, and recorded every expenditure and every "income".
This is another huge doubt. According to the records in the account book, the income and expenditure of the thieves are obviously not the normal range of serious thieves.
For example, the income last spring was a few days before spring plowing. The account book clearly recorded "120,000 taels of silver and 5,000 stones of wheat".
Which thief's nest can get so much reward when going out?
But then, another expenditure was clearly stated, "Silver 70,000 taels, wheat 15,000 stones."
This is by no means the income and expenditure of Woniushan Mountain Village.
The investigators searched almost all the landscapes here. According to the investigation, the place was not suitable for establishing a slightly larger storage warehouse. How could it be that there were thousands of stones of grain? There must be fraud here.
"I don't know where to keep the accounts." said left and right.
The little princess said: "No need to check it. If it weren't for the bills of Zheng County's county government, it would have been a warehouse in the nearby Transportation Office. This paper was leaked."
What?
"There are rules for paper used in the state. The large-scale homes often use hemp paper. The cabinets mostly use the capital white, and the local governments mostly use the paper from their departments. Among them, the Caosi used mulberry paper, and a few of them were mulberry paper." The little princess said, "However, the official yamen at all levels in the Central Plains area are mostly usurping. The palace has been used indiscriminately. The cabinet has repeatedly issued a warning, but it cannot be improved. Therefore, if there is a large granary within 300 miles, it must be that the Caosi colluded with the bandits to embezzle and sell the food and grass of the public for rebellion; if not, it is the Zheng County Government."
Everyone suddenly realized that someone immediately wanted to go down the mountain to ask the military intelligence department staff hidden in the county government to search for evidence.
The little princess smiled and said, "That's too time-consuming and labor-intensive. Let's continue to send three thousand people to guard the place. If anyone comes to ask, he will say that the Woniu bandit chief is unfair and is killed by his subordinates. You can set the rest of the details by yourself."
Is it OK?
"How timid are you not to see those minions? The small Woniu Mountain is so strict that it is comparable to the ban. I am afraid that a certain king will promise a ban. Therefore, there is such a concept of "high and low" such as "gong, marquis, and corps". Under high pressure, now that our army enters the capital, it has caused them great psychological pressure. The thief chief is impulsive and asks his subordinates to kill him. What's the point of doubting?" said the little princess, "Don't worry about him, and the county government does not need to rush to inquire. We pinched this relay station and grabbed the pulse of those who do big things, and told them to be anxious first and see what they had to do."
This made my subordinates not very clear, why should they miss such a good opportunity?
Isn’t it okay to eat Zheng County, a major transportation route?
no!
"There are only many troops of the kings in the Central Plains. They probably just regard this place as a transit station," the little princess pointed to the south and said, "Only Luobianshan can train them tens of thousands of troops without being noticed for many years."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone outside laughed and said, "Ling'er said so much. The enemy did not have the courage to set up tens of thousands of troops on the road we must pass."
The little princess said happily: "Husband is here."
Everyone hurried out to the village and saw two people standing outside the village of Xue Guangzhong, Xiangyang was standing at the door with long swords in red, holding Wei Yang in hand.
The little princess walked out after the gate of the village opened. She was the commander of the army and had her own majesty. She stood opposite and looked at her smile, and at most she had her head slightly tilted.
Wei Yang stretched out his hand and the little princess threw herself into her arms, complaining: "My husband just loves to mess around, and the soldiers can watch it."
Wei Yang smiled and said, "What can they see?"
"Hmph!" The little princess put her face down and pulled Xiangyang again, saying, "How did you know I am here?"
"Ling'er arrived in person, how can we make this bandit who is accomplice of the tiger? Zheng County is an important point. Once the enemy starts the snake, King Ning may have to toss and turn, and it is difficult to make up his determination to rebel." Wei Yang said, pressing his wife's cheek tightly on his face and laughed, "Therefore, the Yao people in Luobangshan have been unable to calm down for decades. The tens of thousands of troops should not be moved, and the troops of King Ning and King Yue should not be shaken. If they want to keep the other side from moving, they should not be moved."
"My husband knows everything, then when will the Yao people in Luobianshan be solved?" said the little princess hatefully, "Local officials, princes and honors, and wealthy families should be killed, and some ambitious families who take the opportunity to make trouble should also be killed. But I feel sorry for the Yao people in the mountains. In the past few decades, I don't know how many families have been killed. It's time to solve this problem as soon as possible."
The Yao people in Luobangshan mentioned here were the changes in Luobangshan Yao people, which broke out fifty years ago during the Xuanzong period, and did not look at the oppression and forced to resist. For decades, they have been confronting the officials and soldiers of the court besieging the mountainous areas with the terrain of Luobangshan. After the old emperor's method of Huairou did not work, they naturally had to gather troops to attack.
This was a simple question, but as the battle for the throne became more and more excessive, King Ning mixed his own troops in the encirclement and suppression of officers and soldiers. King Yue trained a large number of his middle and lower-level officers on this battlefield in his early years.
In addition, the old emperor's three sons have been constantly chasing each other over the past two years, and the kings have made a lot of efforts in it when they see some hope.
This includes King Xing. The Anlu Xing Mansion is not a royal mansion without any foundation. It is not particularly far from Luobianshan, which is very conducive to establishing relationships with the people there. This is also an important foundation for the Xing Mansion's ambition.
