"If anyone dares to take a step back, he will be a deserter and will be killed without mercy! If anyone rushes to the front, I, the commander, will give him five taels of silver each!"
Wu Daying used kindness and power at the same time. This move really had some effect. Those soldiers who were still wavering at first no longer had any disputes.
They don't care who rebels. As long as they have enough to eat and money to earn, they won't follow anyone.
"This old cunning guy!" Ning Yujin bit her lower lip and was ready to risk her life. Anyway, there was so much money in the yamen now, she didn't believe she couldn't beat him!
However, before he could speak, he heard the sound of gongs and drums coming from all the streets at the Yamen Gate. Looking up, he saw countless martial arts people pouring in from everywhere, holding weapons and surrounding the soldiers.
in the middle.
Those martial arts people are all good at boxing and kicking, so Wu Daying's men are certainly no match for him. Seeing this scene, Wu Daying became panicked.
Before he could figure out a solution, a carriage suddenly appeared among the martial arts people. A high platform was built on top of the carriage. Lu Cheng, the chief steward of Yunting Villa, was standing on the scene and walked all the way to the two armies.
The middlemost point of contact.
"Everyone, I am the chief steward of Yunting Villa. I am passing on this order from the owner of the village: Anyone who is willing to put down their weapons can go to the gate of Yunting Villa to receive ten taels of silver. Our village will have a dedicated person to register you, and we will also
By arranging your future livelihood, you will not need to stay away from your family and work hard with others, and you will be able to have a stable income. Such an opportunity is in front of you, what are you waiting for?"
At this moment, almost all the soldiers looked in the direction of the chief steward, Lu Cheng. The chatter was coming and going, as if a pie had fallen from the sky. It was so unreal that they couldn't believe it.
Ning Yujin asked Mo Jingxiao to help her, and shouted from the distance: "Butler, is what you just said true? Then can I go register and receive the money?"
Lu Cheng immediately raised his head and smiled in the direction of Ning Yujin: "Everything I just said was the intention of the owner of Yunting Villa, so you don't have to doubt the authenticity of every word. If that little brother
If you want to collect money, you are welcome at any time. Yunting Villa now has a dedicated person waiting at the door, waiting for you to go."
"Oh, then why am I still here guarding you? If you don't take ten taels of snowflake silver, you won't get it! I'm leaving to collect the silver. You guys can take your time."
Ning Yujin waved her hand downwards, pulled Mo Jingxiao and jumped off the roof.
This was good, the soldiers were all afraid that others would seize the opportunity, and no matter how harshly Wu Daying gave orders, no one listened to him, and they all dropped their weapons and went to Yunting Villa to collect the money.
Wu Daying saw that he was about to become a mere commander, so of course he refused. He took his long knife and slashed at one person: "If you dare to be a deserter, I will slash you!"
The soldier staggered and immediately collapsed on the ground. He was so frightened that he quickly closed his eyes.
However, after waiting for a while, there was no pain as expected. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a branch stuck in Wu Daying's chest, and the big knife in his hand fell to the ground with a clang. His eyes widened.
The boy fell off his horse.
He suddenly jumped up in panic and shouted: "Wu Daying is dead!"
"Wu Daying is dead!"
"Wu Daying is dead!"
…
This news was spread over and over again, and within a short time it was known to everyone.
Some of Wu Daying's soldiers and horses who had entered the Yamen in other groups were captured, and some were surrendered. After hearing the news, the rest all surrendered.
In the government office, Ning Yujin and Mo Jingxiao kept mumbling while walking inside: "Axiao, it is immoral to destroy flowers, plants and trees. It is an immoral act to destroy a tree that could have grown for a scumbag."
A small sapling that grows into a towering tree is not a good deal."
"I know." Mo Jingxiao reached out and rubbed Ning Yujin's head, "If you encounter this kind of situation again, I will throw you out."
Ning Yujin suddenly rolled her eyes.
"Hahaha." Mo Jingxiao laughed out loud in a rare good mood.
Just after returning to the hall, Xu Jinsong and Xu Zhongsheng walked in with smiles on their faces.
"Following the instructions of His Highness Prince Ding, we fortunately fulfilled our orders and captured all the rebels." Xu Jinsong reported back.
Xu Zhongsheng also took a step forward and said: "Those who are willing to surrender have been sent to the gate of Yunting Villa. All others who are still resisting have been escorted to the prison. The whole situation is under control."
"That's very good." Mo Jingxiao nodded, looked up at Xu Zhongsheng, and said slowly, "Your Yunting Villa is the first to be able to disintegrate Wu Daying's team so easily this time. I will definitely tell the emperor everything.
Yunting Villa will give awards."
Xu Zhongsheng saluted Mo Jingxiao and said with a smile: "Even if there is no Yunting Villa this time, His Highness Prince Ding will still be able to turn the tide and defeat more with less. All Yunting Villa does is obey orders."
, it can’t be said that it’s the first achievement. I also ask His Highness Prince Ding not to destroy Yunting Villa.”
This is indeed true. Even without the martial arts people behind him, and without Yunting Villa tempting him with generous terms, Mo Jingxiao would have been absolutely sure to capture Wu Daying's men.
But in the final analysis, without the help of the people at Yunting Villa, this near-farce rebellion might have been delayed for some time, and it would not have ended so quickly. To say that they took the most credit is not an understatement.
However, everyone present was smart and knew the other meaning of "Zhesha" that Xu Zhongsheng said.
Which two types of people are the most intolerable in the emperor's eyes?
One is to have great achievements and shock the master, and the other is to be rich and invincible.
You, a merchant, have more assets than the entire national treasury. This is because the trees are as beautiful as the trees, and the wind will destroy them.
Lu Yunting has done quite well in this aspect. Even though he is well-known as the richest man in Jiangnan, not many people in Shengjing have heard of his name. Being low-key also has the advantage of being low-key.
For example, this time, he sent so many people to help, and he was able to call on so many martial arts people to come and help. In order to break up Wu Daying's men, he even offered ten taels of silver to each person and arranged for a new employee. Such a wealthy man
, one call and hundreds of responses, if it really spreads to the emperor, what will the emperor think?
Maybe this time I rewarded you heavily with a smile, but next time I seize an opportunity, why not punish you to death?
And this time, Yunting Villa had no intention of getting involved. They just secretly sent Leng Ruyue to leak some information to them and help them secretly.
If Ning Yujin hadn't been there this time, Yunting Villa would have just ignored it and watched the fire from the other side, never taking a trip into this muddy water.
Ning Yujin also suddenly wanted to understand why Lu Pingting said she had "big face". She didn't want to think about some things carefully, but in fact, she understood everything after thinking about it for a while.
Mo Jingxiao also understood what Xu Zhongsheng meant, nodded slightly and said, "I understand that Yunting Villa will not be mentioned in front of the emperor."
Xu Zhongsheng bowed profusely: "His Royal Highness Prince Ding is wise."
