Lushan County, Ruzhou.

Since three days ago, Li Zhuming, the magistrate of Lushan County, left with his seal and disappeared, the county's official official knew he was defeated. In order to prevent the Pei family army from being angry and started a massacre in Lushan County, and thus voluntarily surrendered, the Pei family army has been stationed in Lushan County for two days.

The Pei family army's strict military discipline, loyal soldiers, and excellent armor refreshed the cognition of the people of Lushan County for the first time. The so-called king's army is probably just like this.

In the Lushan County Government Office, in the original lobby, Pei Xiaoer looked at the document in front of him.

Liu Xianchun stood aside and whispered: "General, since our army moved from Shanxi, most of the 540,000 stones of food and grass carried with the army have been used.

Although we have received some supplements in Shaanxi and Yiyang, these are a minority after all, and there are very few left now. Yesterday I went to the baggage camp to check out. Our military rations are only 40,000 stones left, which can be used for the army for 16 days. Should we cut the solar eclipse of the rear army, the new soldiers and others by half to save food and grass?"

Pei Xiaoer listened quietly, holding a pen with his fingers unconsciously, and tapping rhythmically on the table, without saying a word for a long time.

After a long time, Pei Xiaoer threw the pen in his hand and said, "No, the soldiers followed me to have a full meal, to live with dignity, and to have hope in the future to live in this world. If we reduce rations, what do you think? Do you think we are rabbits that cannot grow their tails?"

"Yes, my subordinates are not considerate." Liu Xianchun also felt that the proposal just now was inappropriate, but he would not be stubborn and resist to the end.

"You send someone to Lushan County tomorrow. We have no food in our hands. It does not mean that there is no food in Lushan County. I saw that the wealthy families in Lushan County are all delicious and delicious. How long have we been in the city? Why haven't we seen anyone visit? I think, it's still too few people we killed, so that they feel that we are weak and can be bullied.

When you go to find them, buy me food for one tael of silver and one stone. Don’t be afraid of spending money, we have money.”

"General, the price of grain on the market has now risen to five taels of silver per stone, so let's give one tael, I'm afraid..." Liu Xianchun did not continue to say it, but his words were self-evident.

"Then take them to the trial and treat them as a crime of hoarding. Be careful to win over the people and stand with us, and don't let those letters be fooled by the gentry."

"Yes." Liu Xianchun agreed with a wry smile. It was easy to say, but it was not that simple to do. The Pei family army left after passing by, and they were still these gentry who were with the people day and night. By then, there was no need to guess how these gentry would arrange them.

It seems that I can only take ruthless measures. The wildfire cannot be burned out and the spring breeze will blew again. I can only temporarily aggrieved them and go to the Western Paradise in advance.

"But even if all the grain in the entire Luyang County is gathered, it is afraid that it will not be enough for us to eat for a few days. In the long run, we should find a place that can provide food and grass as soon as possible." Liu Xianchun added.

"I know," Pei Xiaoer stood up, walked a few steps, and came outside the lobby. Looking at the increasingly lush vines in the yard, he said leisurely, "Count the time, at this time, Feng Kebin should have already done his hand. Once we break through Luyang Pass, what will be waiting for us will be a smooth road.

Liu Xianchun felt a little moved and looked at Pei Xiaoer's handsome figure in surprise. Since he was captured from Shangwangzhuang and joined the Pei family army, he has been with Pei Xiaoer day and night. He claimed that he had touched Pei Xiaoer's temperament almost the same, but at this moment, he found that he still knew too little about Pei Xiaoer.

"Go and call my father-in-law Zhao Junlin over." Pei Xiaoer left this sentence and turned around and returned to the back yamen.

"Yes," Liu Xianchun looked at Pei Xiaoer's figure and replied loudly.

At the same time, Feng Kebin, who was highly anticipated by Pei Xiaoer, also made great progress at this moment. Ma Rujiao's beloved concubine did not dare to have any distractions. She led a group of servants and servants to put boxes of silver into the designated valley and put boxes of silver into the designated valley, then retreated and waited anxiously at the fork in the road entering the mountain.

Feng Kebin and others hid in the dark, quietly watching the Ma family put the silver in place and then retreated.

Feng Kebin raised his eyebrows and gestured behind him. Then Niu Erbao came out of his invisibility and looked in the direction where the Ma family retreated. After confirming that there was no one, he ran to the silver box left by the Ma family, slapped his knife to cut off the copper lock on the box, and opened the box.

I saw the fifty-one silver ingots in the box shining brightly in the sunshine. Niu Erbao then opened several other boxes and counted roughly, and it was a total of 100,000 taels.

Niu Erbao nodded in Feng Kebin's direction. Without waiting for Feng Kebin to give orders, several soldiers who followed Feng Kebin over the mountain went down to the valley and drove the carriage deeper into the mountains.

"Master Ma, it seems that the mansion is really rich and has no bottom-out money. One hundred thousand taels of silver is taken out and taken out. Do you think I want less?" Feng Kebin came to Ma Rujiao tied to a tree and tore off the rag that was blocked in his mouth.

Ma Rujiao's mouth regained his freedom and he quickly begged: "The boss has won the award, and the prize has been awarded. My concubine has also raised all the money from many sources. I finally got it. I was thinking about more, but I really didn't have it anymore."

"That's not possible. I promised to ask for one million taels, but now you only gave me 100,000 taels and wanted to send me away? Do you think you were sending the beggar?" Feng Kebin pretended to be angry, "Since that's the case, it would be useless for me to keep you. It would be better to slaughter it with one knife. If you finish it, you can save the future troubles."

As he said that, Feng Kebin drew out his long sword again and was about to chop off his Ma Rujiao. With a flash of sword light, the sharp blade had already reached Ma Rujiao's neck.

"It's useful, useful, the boss, I'm still useful. Don't you want a million dollars? I have, I have." Ma Rujiao was frightened and begged for mercy.

Perhaps Ma Rujiao's begging for mercy played a role, Feng Kebin's long sword stopped on Ma Rujiao's neck. He had just cut a layer of skin and moved forward a little more. Ma Rujiao's life was probably explained here.

At the same time, a foul stench came, and Feng Kebin looked at him in disgust, a little further away from him.

"For the last chance, do you think you can raise one million taels?" Feng Kebin frowned and shouted loudly.

"I can't," Ma Rujiao hurriedly promised, "I can definitely make a million taels to the boss. If I deceive the boss, I will not be able to die a bad death."

"How to prepare?"

"The villain sold all his family wealth, and the money he earned must be enough for one million taels." Ma Rujiao looked at Feng Kebin carefully. After seeing that the other party could have one million, he moved his mouth and his eyes eased a lot. Then he slowly said, "Just..."

"Just what?"

"But the boss also knows that the courtyard in the villain's wealth is the most valuable. At least 500,000 of the one million taels need to be sold to the house to make up. But now the villain is here, and there is only one concubine in the family who is in charge of the overall situation. She has no right to sell the villain's house. What's more, even if she dares to sell and there is no villain present, no one in Shiqiao Town dares to buy it." Ma Rujiao said, paying attention to Feng Kebin's face at all times.

Seeing that Feng Kebin was a little moved and a little discouraged, he continued, "For the sake of the present, only the villain can only be present to raise all the million taels that the boss wants."

Hearing this, Feng Kebin's face suddenly changed, he put the knife on Ma Rujiao's neck again and said, "I think you want to take the opportunity to escape."

"How dare the villain?" Ma Rujiao defended that he was no longer as scared as before, because he saw the greed in Feng Kebin's eyes. Without him, he would not be able to get the million taels of silver no matter what.
