Chapter 162: Xiaocheng Chaos (2) [Please ask for monthly votes]
The question raised by Zhai Huan was exactly what Yang Duwei wanted to know.
At this time, Zhai Le thought of something and asked Yang Duwei carefully: "Does Yang Duwei know... Lingzhou''s rebellion?"
Yang Duwei was stunned for a moment.
It’s not that he has a problem with his understanding, but that Zhai Le can understand every word, but how can he not digest it together?
What is "Lingzhou rebellion"?
He was unbelievable.
He stood up in place with his eyes wide open like a copper bell.
He paced back and forth like an irritable and trapped beast, his breath was dangerous and uneasy, and the ground under his feet was about to be stepped out of two pits. Finally, he asked in a hoarse voice: "What did you say... Lingzhou?"
What happened in Lingzhou?
When did something happened in Lingzhou?
Brother Zhai Le’s reaction was more shocked than him.
You really don’t know?
This, this...even if they don''t know what to say. Zhai Le had to roughly explain the situation, but he lied to the source of information. He only said that he passed by a tea shop not long ago and heard a merchant discussing it, but did not tell Shen Tang a few.
Although he didn''t know why Brother Shen wanted to intercept the tax silver, he believed that Brother Shen was a sincere and open-minded gentleman, and even if he did evil things, there would be a reason for it - not to mention that this matter may not be considered a bad thing. He could see clearly what was going on in Sibao County.
He was able to squeeze out so much tax silver from a group of thin people, and also provided a large number of rare treasures other than tax silver to please the king Zheng Qiao. The Sibao County Magistrate is also a cruel person!
From this point of view, Zhai Le is more inclined to Shen Tang.
Therefore, he kept his mouth tight.
He has never disclosed his speculation to Yang Duwei.
Yang Duwei: "I don''t know, I have never received this news..."
He was so angry that his liver trembled, his eyes were covered with blood-red spider silk, and his eyes were fierce as if he wanted to eat ten people in one meal.
The nose was flaming, gasping for breath, and the fists were pinched, and the knuckles creaked. I suddenly thought of something, and after taking gunpowder, I shouted: "No, Lingzhou is in chaos, so why should the county magistrate pay the tax silver at this critical moment?"
Zhai Le interrupted softly: "Maybe the county magistrate doesn''t know?"
Yang Duwei could not suppress his anger completely, and his voice suddenly rose: "How can he not know? If he doesn''t even know this, will he rely on luck to live so much?"
Zhai Le: “…”
This...is not sure.
But what are the benefits of the fall of Sibao County?
Zhai Huan said: "Don''t be angry, I don''t know which force is besieging Xiaocheng now, and it may not be Lingzhou''s rebellion. On the other hand, if it is really them, it would be a good thing."
Yang Duwei swallowed his anger unwillingly and asked with red eyes: "Why did Mr. Zhai say that? If those mobs were causing trouble..."
Zhai Huan said: "It is difficult for a mob to become a great man."
Yang Duwei choked.
As a brave warrior, he agrees with Zhai Huan''s view. A group of old, weak and disabled soldiers who were temporarily formed, even if they were large, they just looked scary on the surface. The proportion of their brave warriors is too low, so who makes it difficult for ordinary people to even have food and clothing?
They will rebel because they are not full, like snowballs. Wherever they pass, people of the same situation will respond, but - can a group of people who are not full get together to eat enough?
How much combat power can you have when fighting on an hungry day?
What kind of threat can it pose?
Even if the Xiaocheng garrison chooses to be a turtle that cannot be hiding out, and if you delay defending the city, you can still drag the enemy to death by fighting for food and supplies. What is really terrible is that if the enemy attacking the city is a well-trained "regular army" with abundant food and supplies, that is dangerous.
Yang Duwei grabbed his hair bun in annoyance.
He really couldn''t think of other possibilities...
Seeing that Yang Duwei had no breakthrough, Zhai Huan could only shake his head secretly and was powerless - now he could only take one step at a time.
Privately, he found that his cousin looked ill.
I was asked a lot.
Zhai Leqiqi Ai Ai: "Brother, I, I—"
Zhai Huan: "Don''t lie, you have never been good at this."
Zhai Le immediately felt relieved: "...Oh, that''s it... I actually had a partner of suspicion for the gang of gangsters last night..."
Zhai Huan was not surprised, and just asked: "Qi Yuanliang?"
Zhai Le was shocked: "Brother, do you know?" Zhai Huan almost laughed angry: "What''s the difficulty?"
Do you really think that the literary scholar who can surpass him is so easy to meet? Ale thought everyone was as simple as him, and believed that there were coincidences in the world? From Qi Shan''s appearance to Taxun being robbed, even if Qi Shan fails to take action, Zhai Huan will immediately suspect him.
No, it’s not a coincidence just because it’s too coincidental!
Plus Zhai Le’s expression that could not hide the matter…
He asked, "How did you know?"
Zhai Le said: "Oh, because of Brother Shen''s sword."
There is almost no possibility of admitting mistakes.
Zhai Huan''s mouth twitched, barely confronting the "Brother Shen" that Zhai Le often mentioned with the scar-faced strong man last night.
"But he is not a literary scholar?"
Zhai Le said: "Yes, it''s a literati."
Zhai Huan: "...Who do you call a literary scholar in the heart?"
He was speechless and took a long time to take a look at Yang Duwei, who was in a mess in the distance, as if he had a breath stuck in his chest, making him feel uncomfortable.
Zhai Le rubbed his chin and hesitated a little: "I am literary and literary… I am indeed a literary scholar, yes."
Zhai Huan: “…”
I really have seen you for a long time.
Chen Tang, who was muttered by the two, felt the tip of his nose itch a little, and he sneezes uncontrollably.
Open your eyes and half-sit up.
It was already dawn when I woke up.
The air was filled with the smell of blood.
She rubbed her forehead and thought about it carefully.
Haha, there is no suspense, I can’t remember anything.
Once, two, and three, four, and one.
She knew she was drunk and didn''t make any fuss about changing the environment. After a while, Chu Yao and the others came back, and each of them stood empty-handed, making her mistakenly think that the tax robbery failed.
"Goro is awake?"
“How did you do last night?”
Chu Yao: "Everything goes well."
“Where is the tax silver?”
Chu Yao handed her a pamper skin drawing and said, "Of course I buried it. I will take it out when the limelight comes over. Does the head still hurt? I don''t know where Qi Yuanliang got the strong wine. You fought with someone last night and seemed to be desperate... There is no next time!"
Although Goro was very brave and tough after he was drunk, he also lost some of the "reason" that ordinary people had and did not take the body seriously at all. Fortunately, those are all minor injuries, and the amount of blood looks large, most of them are enemies.
Qieliang is like a ghost, and comes out from nowhere, saying, "Chu Wuhui, although there is a formation in the battle, courage is the basis. Chen Xiaolangjun is brave in the enemy and does not fear life and death. What''s wrong with him?"
Chu Yao asked back: "Is Wulang a warrior?"
When Chen Tang heard this, his brain that didn''t hurt was buzzing instantly. She waved her hand quickly and jumped up, "It doesn''t hurt, since the matter has been resolved, let''s go back quickly, and we have to pick up Lin Feng and go home. I''ll get angry with me for a few days later..."
She shamelessly pulled Lin Feng as a shield.
Chu Yao snorted, not calculating Qi Shan.
Four people took a break and prepared to return.
Her good mood came to an abrupt end at an official tea shop.

??1. Although there is a battle, courage is the basis: from "Mozi", which roughly means that although there are battle sequences in battle, courage is the foundation for winning.
