Chapter 40 Reaction
"General, I wonder if there are other parties?" a voice said, but maybe Pei Xiaoer didn't seem to be very murderous, and he was a lot more courageous.
"There is no other allocation," Pei Xiaoer replied.
"Not even corvées?"
"No, under my rule, there will be military service in the future, but there will no longer be corvee service."
"In this case, I am willing to obey General Pei's orders." Zhao Huaiyu knew that this was a great opportunity to show his loyalty.
He finally understood that the Ming Dynasty had enjoyed a kingdom for nearly three hundred years. How could there be any dynasty that lasted more than three hundred years? Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty is becoming more and more chaotic, which may not be a precursor to a change of dynasties.
This Pei Xiaoer was born as a commoner, but he was not as murderous as other bandits. Instead, he paid attention to discipline and production. He was very similar to Emperor Taizu of this dynasty, so he might not be able to have the last laugh.
Seeing that someone had taken the lead, everyone cursed in their hearts. This old guy was really too old to die and was a thief. They rushed to stand up and express their support for Pei Xiaoer's order.
"Okay, since everyone has no objections, let's act like this." Pei Xiaoer was determined that more than half of the people in Xia County are loyal to him. The specific situation will depend on future developments.
"Come on, come on, you all, drink up this cup." Pei Xiaoer raised the wine glass in his hand and drank it in front of everyone.
"The general has a good drinking capacity." The atmosphere in the hall finally became lively.
After a few glasses of wine, Pei Xiaoer was a little tipsy and said, "Everyone, I have something else to do, so I won't spend more time with you. I'll say goodbye." After that, he left.
When I walked to the door, I suddenly thought of something, and said to everyone seemingly casually: "By the way, everyone, we will try the case at the county government office tomorrow. At that time, all those who have grievances can bring it up for trial. If you are okay, please do it.
come and see."
After saying that, he ignored the stunned and stunned people, clasped his fists and left.
Pei Xiaoer left, but the last words he left were like a thorn in everyone's mind, making everyone uneasy. The gentry in the hall left without drinking for a while.
When a case is brought to court for trial, no matter what case it is, can a gangster like him not act more formal than the government? If everyone can get to this point in these days, who doesn't have some shit under his butt?
Everyone is like a crow lying on a pig, no one can call anyone evil. If something really comes out of this trial, wouldn't it be justified to kill him?
After returning home as if sleepwalking, Zhao Huaiyu ordered his servants to call his sons and all the guests to the study to discuss matters.
"Tell me, what does this Pei Xiaoer want to do?" Zhao Huaiyu briefly explained what happened and finally asked.
After a long silence, the eldest son, the most stable one, spoke first: "Dad, this General Pei's behavior is really weird. Logically speaking, if he is asking for money, and who among the people present is not rich, he will directly send troops to check their property.
Effortlessly obtain inexhaustible wealth.
But if he wants to win over people's hearts, he has already achieved it according to his behavior today, but why did he do this? Isn't this just breaking up the people's hearts that have already been gathered together?"
"Yeah, I can't figure it out," Zhao Huaiyu frowned and murmured.
"Is it possible that Pei Xiaoer wants to deal with some family? It's hard to tell, so he pretends to be trying a case, but actually wants to destroy someone's family?" A guest asked uncertainly.
"It's not that troublesome. If he wants to deal with someone, wouldn't it be better to lead his troops to kill them directly? He can also kill people and establish his authority." Zhao Huaiyu retorted.
"I can't guess, I can't guess." Zhao Huaiyu looked sad, and then ordered everyone, "Be careful during this period, don't let Pei Xiaoer catch you. In addition, find someone to give some to those we offended in the past.
Money, let them stop making trouble."
"Yes" everyone left, leaving Zhao Huaiyu alone in the darkness tasting tea.
Wenxi County, "What did you say?" Si Dihu slammed the cup in his hand to the ground, "That guy Pei Xiaoer actually captured Xia County? This is impossible. Didn't you swear to me two days ago?
, Pei Xiaoer is trapped in Shangwangzhuang and can't advance or retreat? How many days has it been? Can he conquer Xia County?"
The master in front of him hurriedly dodged to avoid the flying debris, and said to the sitting tiger with a mournful face: "It's not my fault that you are in charge of the plate. I didn't take anything in return last night. Then Pei Xiaoer was really advancing and retreating under Shangwangzhuang."
No, no one knows how lucky he can be to occupy Xia County..."
Seeing Si Dihu's eyes becoming more and more unkind, the master's voice became smaller and smaller until he finally disappeared.
"Then tell me, what should we do now? Is it possible to let Pei Xiaoer sit here? Is it threatening my status?" The veins on the neck of the sitting tiger were bulging, as if he wanted to eat people.
"Help... take charge of the plate." The master was a little scared, "Young man, I don't know if I should say something or not."
"Damn it, you dare to betray me at this time." Si Dihu stepped forward and kicked the master in the chest, "Say, if you can't think of a way, I will kill you."
The master's thin body flew up high and hit the chair beside him, smashing it to pieces. He lay on the ground, rolled twice, and spit out a mouthful of blood.
But he didn't dare to lie on the ground. He knew that the furious Sitting Tiger might kill him right now. He struggled to stand up and took several deep breaths.
He barely managed to calm down his breath and said: "In charge of the plate, now that Pei Xiaoer has become powerful, if we attack him, it will undoubtedly be a snipe and a clam fighting for the fisherman's profit.
Liu Guozhong has always been at odds with the leader, but because of the power of the leader, Liu Guozhong had to choose to stay in hiding. Now Liu Guozhong is away at war, and I heard that he has already conquered Peijiazhuang, Huangjialing and other places, and is recruiting civilians to join the army. The power of Liu Guozhong
It is also getting bigger and bigger. If things go on like this, Liu Guozhong will definitely become very difficult to treat.
It is better to attack Liu Guozhong directly and capture him while he is still in his infancy. After capturing him, Zhang Zhiguo can be relieved of his military duties with just one warrant. By then, the commander will integrate the three departments and have up to 30,000 troops.
Taking down Pei Xiaoer is just a piece of cake."
Sitting Tiger thought for a long time and suddenly smiled at Master, "Master is really my Zhuge Liang. I accidentally kicked you just now. Don't mind. I was also impulsive, so I stepped forward to support Master after I finished speaking."
"The villain is fine. The top priority is to quickly send someone to make friends with Pei Xiaoer and stabilize him to prevent him from falling to Liu Guozhong."
"Yes, yes, what the master said is absolutely true. At this time, I would like to ask the master to send someone smarter." The sitting tiger accompanied him with a smile on his face, obeying the master's words, showing the attitude of a wise king and a virtuous minister.
