Chapter 119: She Dachuan, the whole person is not well
Zhaojunsai, early morning.
Wang Huai ordered Ma Sanbao to kill several of Bao Tianba's remnants - strong prisoners.
Prepare to cross the Yellow River north and enter the Daqing Mountains to explore the Meng Yuan treasures.
Gu Qingqing put on a veil and hat and wanted to go with her.
Wang Huai only ordered eleven people in total, and Ma Sanbao was a little panicked.
"Boss, if there is an ambush in Daqingshan, a dozen people can't stop it."
Wang Huai has a calm demeanor that cannot be changed.
"I thought too much, it's seven."
"Me and Qingqing, the prince and Wan Dachuan are not counted, and we will not take action."
"If you hurt the prince, your salary will be deducted!"
Ma Sanbao looked helpless, turned around and prepared his horse to set off.
In the late autumn of the Yellow River, the shallow water only covered the horses' knees. No wonder Bao Tianba's cavalry came faster than ever.
However, Abiao's horse's hoof slipped and the horse and man fell towards the Yellow River...
Wang Huai was quick and Abiao got up before he fell into the water to avoid falling into the water.
In the morning, at the foot of Daqing Mountain.
Above the "ji" shape of the Yellow River is the Hetao Plateau.
The Yinshan Mountain to the west of "Ji" top is the back cover, and the Daqing Mountain to the east is the front cover.
Hetao has been a nomadic land since ancient times, but now there is no human habitation. It can be seen that it has been devastated by war and Bao Tianba, and the scene is very desolate.
Occasionally seeing a wild horse galloping, Ma Sanbao becomes energetic.
"I think those wild horses are stronger than our war horses. Do you want to circle a few of them?"
"No, you don't think so."
Wang Huai looked down upon him, so Ma Sanbao could only order the captives to lead the way to Daqingshan.
When we were almost reaching the top of the mountain, a red light flashed in the forest and flew towards Abiao!
Ma Sanbao has quick eyes and quick hands, and the embroidery needle flies out, but he can't stop the red light!
Varied!
Wang Huai waved his folding fan, and red light fell to the ground.
Then I saw it clearly, it turned out to be a centipede, the head of the five poisons!
Nearly two feet long, all over his body was bright red, and he was still struggling to death.
Wan Dachuan took a breath of cold air.
"Did the snake grow legs? How can there be such a big centipede in the world?!"
Wang Huai has also been around for a long time, because A Biao has seen it all.
With such bad luck, Ah Biao dared to go too far and ride close to Wang Huai.
noon.
Arriving in front of Bao Tianba's village.
The cottage is built along the mountain topography, with the mountain on the back and the river on the south.
The entire village is more than a mile long from east to west and no less than thirty feet wide from north to south.
The village is magnificent, with more than 100 stone houses including the main building of Zhongyi Tower, sentry towers, and barracks.
"stop!"
"ah..."
As soon as shouts came from the sentry tower in front of the village, a white light flashed from Ma Sanbao's hand, and two silver lines crossed the void and disappeared from the left and right sentry tower windows respectively.
The sentry went to Bao Tianba to report on his work.
Ma Sanbao smiled awkwardly when he remembered that Wang Huai told him to give up his embroidery needle habit.
"I hope we haven't alerted the enemies in the village yet."
The prisoner leading the way responded cautiously.
"Most of the people are gone, and there are less than two hundred people left in the village."
Ma Sanbao panicked again and blurted out.
"What? Two hundred? Why didn't you tell me earlier? There were only seven of us!"
"The four bosses are not human... uh... they won't take action!"
Wang Huai stared at Ma Sanbao with death.
"You are not a human being, and your whole family is not a human being!"
"Think about it, eight hundred people were dispatched, and is it abnormal to leave two hundred family members behind?"
The prisoner responded tremblingly.
"Yes, I thought you were all fighting a hundred, and nearly half of the villagers are women, and the rest are mostly old and weak..."
Ma Sanbao complained a few words, but ordered the special forces to take out their blunderbuss, surround Wang Huai and the four of them, and step into the stronghold.
"Whizzing!"
Two powerful arrows shot out!
Ma Sanbao caught it with good luck and swung it back with his backhand, and two screams were heard.
The captives led the way on horseback without daring to move, walking between trees and stone houses.
The two leaders, Bao Tianba and Bao Tiandan, have already hung up the ball. They can effectively intercept and cannot organize at all.
With great momentum along the way, Ma Sanbao shot and killed more than 20 enemies and approached the main building of Zhongyi.
Abiao unexpectedly started a confusing behavior...
...
Yingtian City, Wuying Hall.
Xia Yuanji glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw Lao Zhu's serious expression, his mind wandering, and he quickly knelt down.
"Your Majesty, the issue of zero taxation in Suzhou, I think we should see it live——"
"Send two people along the river to Suzhou. One will go down to the people, and the other will be stationed in the government. They will understand the rights and wrongs and then prescribe the right medicine."
In Wang Huai's absence, Lao Zhu had no other choice but to run errands when something strange like this happened.
"That's all we have to do. Let's go down to the people. Xia Yuanji, you go. We'll send Xie Huan to go with you."
"If you are in doubt, go to the Suzhou government office to find Yu Xin. Report everything truthfully!"
Xia Yuanji knew that his Majesty had arranged for his superior Yu Xin to be stationed in the government office, so he knelt down in a hurry and went back to prepare for the trip.
Three days later.
Xia Yuanji followed the river and arrived at the edge of Suzhou Prefecture. He felt bad all over.
Suzhou is the world's granary. It's the harvest season, but there are no people in the fields!
Looking at the strong rice base of the seedlings, you can predict that it will be a good harvest year.
However, there is not a grain of grain on the rice stalk!
Xia Yuanji wanted to eat spicy strips to calm down, but a nursery rhyme came from afar, and he felt like he couldn't even hold the spicy strips...
...
At the same time, the north gate of Suzhou City.
The prefect Wang Guan led nearly ten colleagues to welcome the upcoming governor Yu Xin with a smile.
The corruption incident in Zhao Mian occurred, and since he was appointed as the Southeast Branch, there has been a vacancy in the Ministry of Household Affairs.
As the minister, Yu Xin was the actual person in charge of the Ministry of Household Affairs, in charge of finance and agriculture.
After Yu Xin got out of the car, Wang Guan smiled even brighter.
"Master Yu has been working hard all the way, and the official has prepared a banquet to welcome you. In the evening, he went to Jinfeng Pavilion to arrange for the two girls to wash themselves. On the day after they come down, the official will show you the beautiful scenery of Gusu."
Wang Guan talked about lotus flowers and never mentioned official business. Those who didn't know better thought that Yu Xin was just on a business trip at official expense.
Yu Xin had a serious look on his face and thought to himself, I came to see the harvest in Suzhou despite the emperor's orders, not to plow the fields in Jinfeng Pavilion.
Besides, no matter how good the Jinfeng Pavilion is, it is not as good as the Qinhuai Tower.
"I heard that Mr. Wang promised to pay taxes three times, but he fired a blank every time. You'd better give a perfect explanation."
Wang Guan was stunned and his face turned red.
I thought to myself, this Yu Xin is not Zhao Mian, he really wants to play with me!
"Sir, let's get down to business and take a one-day trip to Suzhou Granary. I hope that there will be a reasonable explanation for the official's release of pigeons."
"Why don't you say it now?"
"I told you, I don't even believe it myself. Seeing is believing."
Yu Xin nodded.
"Let's start from the north warehouse. First, check the grain storage condition of the granary. Second, check the maintenance status and see if there are any water or air leaks."
Lao Zhu attached great importance to farming, and each prefecture, state, and county set up four warehouses in the southeast and northwest to store official grain.
In the event of drought or flood, it will facilitate disaster relief and benefit the people.
Beicang is one of them, closest to Yuxinrun City.
Wang Guan gave a wry smile.
"Master Yu, please."
Wang Guan walked in front, followed by Lian Yuxin and a team of nearly thirty guards.
Not long after, a large granary rising from the ground appeared in front of us.
The sacks outside the granary were piled up like a mountain, and they were all bulging.
There are government soldiers guarding the outside of the granary.
It looked like a bumper harvest, but Yu Xin felt that the granary couldn't hold it anymore and was piled outside.
How does this mean that no tax has been paid?
Full of suspicion, Yu Xin took out a shiny dagger and stabbed it hard into the sack...
