Chapter 180
: Furious details
When the Hong Madam saw the indoor situation, she knew it in her heart. She shouted coldly: "Let him go, you guys go out!"
Although the two thieves hated Yang Ling to the core, they did not dare to have an attack easily with Yang Kuohu's power. Anyway, Yang Ling had fallen into their hands and was not afraid of him escaping. The two thieves spat at Yang Ling heavily and bowed their hands and walked out.
Yang Ling stood up straight while covering her chest and gasping. Hong Madam looked at him lightly, turned around and walked out. After a while, Hong Madam walked back, handed Yang Ling a bag of clear water and two steamed buns, held the sword and sat down against the stone wall, and said, "I'm here to watch you, and I'll take it after I finish eating. You can write a letter in person tomorrow morning, and take it to the government to replace it to protect your dog's life."
Yang Hu had already escaped. If she knew the truth, would she still be alive? Yang Ling had no choice but to sit opposite her with a water bag and steamed bun, and she leaned against the stone wall. She sighed softly: "When I first met my wife, my wife bought food to provide disaster relief. The ancient road was kind and chivalrous. Although Yang was in the court, he asked himself that he had never done anything that was sorry to the people. Why do you want to kill me?"
He wanted to point out the warm cellar, but he was afraid that the woman would be angry and would suffer more. He swallowed the words back to his mouth. Cui Ying'er was speechless, and she paused and sneered, "I help the victims because I am also a poor person and know the suffering of starvation and coldness. We not only want to kill you, but also want to kill all the officials, overthrow this harmful world, and rebuild a court."
Yang Ling sighed and said, "You can only help the people, so you can only let them eat this meal. Natural disasters and man-made disasters are constantly coming, and the people are hungry. How much money do you have to buy food? When you are in the official warehouse, what do you want the people of the world to eat? You are in a hurry, and I introduce those foreign crops. But I plan for a long time.
Don’t think that you are the only one who sympathizes with the people. Although there are bad policies today, the court is not corrupt. Many officials are worried about the people. If you want to rebuild a court, how many wars will be fought and how many people will die? If you defeat the world in a mess, then break it up before establishing it. How can you support the honest and upright ministers in the court? Innovate and eliminate old things, eliminate corrupt officials, and let the people have food, clothes, and farming? Besides, can you overthrow the world by yourself?"
The Hongniang said proudly: "Are the officers and soldiers great? How many times have our mountain village been suppressed? What can those officers and soldiers do to me? If the people from each mountain and village are gathered together, they will be a elite soldier far better than the court. What's the difficulty to conquer the world?"
Yang Ling sneered: "Imitation!"
Cui Ying'er glared at her pretty eyes. Yang Ling hurriedly continued: "You can use the advantage of the geographical advantage, and the officers and soldiers will come to suppress the mountains and hide in the mountains. If you can escape from the officers and soldiers without any damage, you think you can deal with the thousands of troops in the government?
You go south and north, and you are knowledgeable and knowledgeable. You should know that the orthodox royal family of the Ming Dynasty was the Zhu family. There were countless scholars and common people in the world who believed in the lowly faith. When you were the king of the mountain, it seemed that nothing was important. You really wanted to rebel. How many people believed you? The four words "Orthodox" of the Ming Dynasty could turn into real money, food, swords, guns, and soldiers into strong support."
Cui Ying'er sneered and Yang Ling plucked up the courage to continue, "You said you want to overthrow the court and create another world, okay, I ask you, if you, Hong Niangzi is the lord of the world, how do you benefit the people?"
Cui Ying'er's eyes lit up and she blurted out: "Of course, it is to cancel those damn taxes, and no longer ask the people in Henan and Hebei to break up their homes and land to raise horses for the court, so that the people can live a good life, with food, meat, clothes and clothes, and not be froze and hungry. I am just suffering and will not treat the people badly."
Yang Ling chuckled. Cui Ying'er's pretty face turned red and she scolded coldly uncomfortably: "What are you laughing at? Am I wrong?"
Yang Ling nodded and said, "Yes, they are all right. Then I'll ask you, this year's flood in Henan, severe drought in Shaanxi, and locust plagues in Shandong are plaguing the sky. Tuyao in Miaoshan is in chaos. You cancel taxes, what do you use to support your army, to support officials in the world and manage the world for you, and to use to help the people who are about to starve to death? Under natural disasters and man-made disasters, the grain harvest is less than 30%. How do you keep the people safe from food and clothing?"
Cui Ying'er was stunned for a moment, always complaining about the incompetence of the government. She wanted to conquer the country and let the people live a good life. She didn't think about this. Cui Ying'er bit her lip and said, "Those gentry and landlords have land, and even in the years of famine, their families have enough food and clothing. I can let the people eat well, and they will never starve them to death."
Yang Ling shook his head and said, "At that time, these rich gentry were also your people. How many generations of their property and land were saved? Do you want to force them to rebel? Besides, less than 10% of the rich gentry in the world are rich in the hands of a few of them. After they are distributed to the people, each of them will have a sip of porridge. The court leads the people to eat the big households? Is this your method?"
"You said that you would cancel the horse government, right. I also heard that the horse government is harsh and harsh, and it is so difficult for the people to suffer. This is a little bit of change from the court. Isn't it necessary to raise horses? Now that Tatars are invading the border, there are tens of thousands of cavalry. If there are no cavalry, how do you protect your country and people? Is Tatars coming, they are not as fierce as tax collectors?
When the Japanese pirates on the coast are in chaos, should they build ships? Should they train navy? If they log, use corvee labor to build ships, raise soldiers and train soldiers, collect taxes, and spend money everywhere in building ships and armor. You just think about treating the people well, can you do it?"
The Hongniang looked a little blue, Yang Ling continued to destroy her confidence and said mercilessly: "Taxes, you can't take care of horses, it depends on how to implement them. Officials, farming and farming cannot be ignored, it depends on how to manage them. Do you know how to manage administration and financial management? You can only destroy and not build!"
The Hongniang couldn't help but scold, "Stop talking, let you make every attempt to argue, what is Zhu Hongwu's origin? Why didn't he be the world?"
Yang Ling said leisurely: "Emperor Hongwu came from a meager background, but he was not an ignorant martial artist. Moreover, he opposed the tyranny of the Yuan Dynasty. How many talented people were around him to help him? What about you? You don't know who the scholars in the world are in, right?
If you really want to rebel, you have just changed from bandits to bandits, rising with the wind and waves, falling with the wind and waves. More than a hundred years later, people will talk about you, but it is just a disaster in history books that will cause blood to flow all over the world, and it will be of no use to the people. If you have descendants, you will be shamed for you..."
Before Yang Ling finished speaking, he let out a "choke" sound, and a cold light flashed. The short sword had already hit his throat, causing him to swallow his skin and tremble. Yang Ling was panicked at first, but then calmed down and looked at Hong Niang calmly.
The stone chamber was speechless for a moment. Only the two people were breathing. After a while, the Hongniang said coldly: "I know you read a lot of books, so you don't have to drop your bags with me. I only know that our whole family was forced to go up the mountain by the government. I only know that there are countless people in Bazhou who are still living in a state of oppression under the government, so... we want to rebel!"
After she said that, she quickly put the sword in. With a "crack", shedded her sword with a short sword, leaned on the ground and closed her eyes slightly, and said, "Don't make the idea of running away, just rest, and talk too much. Then she cut your tongue!"
Seeing that the muscles on her face were beating faintly, Yang Ling was obviously suppressing her anger, so she didn't want to talk anymore, so she sat there for a while. He still didn't think about how to escape if the Hongniang exchanged him for Yang Hu tomorrow.
Yang Ling pondered for a while, thinking that Wu Jie, Huang Qiyin and others had great plans, and there were many wise men in the court. Tomorrow, a letter of exchanged people was delivered to them. No one would foolishly say something to the bandits directly. Now they had to take one step and look for another opportunity.
He sighed and felt a little hungry in his stomach, so he ate a steamed bun with clear water, and then leaned on the wall to sleep. After a while, the torch on the wall gradually weakened and finally extinguished.
Yang Ling was gradually tired, but she had never slept on the cold hard rock surface. She couldn't fall asleep for a while, and the cave was quiet. Yang Ling leaned there quietly. Thinking about a solution, she suddenly realized that the opposite side was full of ease. It seemed that she could not fall asleep. Occasionally, she sighed softly. She still heard Yang Ling's words.
It was not clear that the sky was dawn in the cave, but it naturally woke up when the time came. Torches were ignited inside. Outside, the Fengdi people sneaked into the cave and followed Liu Laodao. It turned out that he had not stayed here last night, and he returned from the residence of other secret believers only at dawn.
Hongniangzi and Cui'er hurriedly went up to meet her. Hongniangzi asked, "Mr. Liu, what's the situation outside now?"
Liu Laodao smiled and said, "The officers and soldiers stopped after a long time, but the inner city has a curfew. There are checkpoints at all intersections around the capital. There is no limit to entering the city. Those who leave the city must have a way to attract officials. All cars, horses and goods can not escape even a fly. Those who enter the city in the suburbs have no way to attract people to go to the government and can only go out by their relatives."
Hong Niangzi said in a state of emotion: "The noise is so big? Did Mr. Liu attract attention?"
Liu Laodao said: "Fortunately, I am Taoist Youfang. Luyan came from the south and the north, and the suspect was the least. Moreover, I only wandered in the city and did not leave the capital, so I would be fine after checking it. But... this time I was leaked, and we worked hard to lay the foundation in Bazhou and would probably be destroyed."
The Hongniang said disapprovingly: "What are you afraid of? You have to stay in the green mountains and don't worry about the lack of firewood, let alone the general village moved out of Bazhou. I immediately asked Yang Ling to write a letter from his handwritten letter. As long as they agreed to replace the person, we would threaten people to leave the city and exchange hostages in Fengtai. With the fast horses and riding skills we prepared, there would be no one to stop once we left the capital."
Several thieves next to him heard that the boss could be rescued from the cage immediately, and were very excited. Liu Laodao carried the flags and used fortune-telling as a cover. He carried the pen, ink, paper and ink with him with him. He took it out of the bag and handed it to Hongniang, and took it in and asked Yang Ling to write a letter.
Yang Ling hesitated for a while, and he picked up a pen to write a letter. He was well-behaved and did not dare to hint at all about his generality. In fact, he was not familiar with Beijing City. Apart from knowing that he was under an unfinished Taoist temple, he didn't know where he was now.
Yang Ling's letter stated that he had been arrested as a hostage. The criminal suggested that he wanted to exchange Yang Hu for his freedom and that the person who believed that he would submit it to the emperor as soon as possible. If the emperor agreed, he would go to the Jinyiwei to bring up the thief Yang Hu who was held in the prison, and then send it to the designated location as required by the other party. In order to seek realisticity, he also took off his jade ornaments as a token.
This letter pointed out the places where Yang Hu was imprisoned with eyes. Even if the people in the government saw that the local people in the land of the country were mentally retarded, they would not understand what he meant.
However, it was the era of cold weapons. It was easy for bandits with high martial arts and superb riding skills to escape from the officers and soldiers. Moreover, when both sides exchange hostages, the authorities would not allow the official to send too many troops. In this way, both sides exchanged hostages at most twenty or thirty feet apart. Yang Ling was still not optimistic about whether he could escape from the other party's control.
If the government uses a fake product to impersonate it, the thieves in Bazhou will not fail to check his appearance. Moreover, Hong Niang is a man beside Yang Hu, and he can tell six or seven points just by looking at his figure. Even if the government understands his own hints, how to save himself from the palm of his palm is still a problem.
The Hong Maid looked at him with a slight look on the side, and Yang Ling had no time to think about it. He had to bite the bullet and write it, and then handed it over to the Hong Maid, hoping that someone in the court could come up with a plan that could hide the truth.
The Hongniang took the letter and jade ornaments, asked the two of them to watch Yang Ling, and hurried out to hand it to Liu Laodao. Liu Laodao looked carefully under the torch six or seven times, confirming that there was no trick in the words inside and outside, and there was no trick in the horizontal and vertical lines. Then he comfortedly rolled the letter into the belt under the Taoist robe, and then said: "You have something to eat. Let's wait here first, wait for me to go to the Five City Military and Horses to find an opportunity to hand in the letter."
Old Dao Liu hurried out of the tunnel, closed the hole again, and quietly went. A thief next to Hongmao looked at the room where Yang Ling was imprisoned, and whispered to Hongmao: "Sister-in-law, when the elder brother rescues it, we will bear this boy. Then escape. Once we leave Beijing, we will be the tiger returning to the mountain, and the dragon entering the water. No one can trip us."
The Hongniang was stunned and hesitated: "Nonsense, if you do something, the officers and soldiers won't do it? If you can save your brother Hu today, don't cause any more trouble."
Another bald man with a bumpy face and was frightened when he looked at it, he said with a grim voice: "Sister-in-law. Don't worry, let's not take action. The officers and soldiers will be willing to watch us leave? Hu Dahui's poison-hardening sleeve arrow is the King of Hell within ten feet of the poison. Brother Hu knows how to fist. Then the brother greets him and jumps out on the ground. There is no trouble. Are we still talking about the trust and righteousness to the officers and soldiers?"
The Hongniang was a little confused. The words Yang Ling said yesterday left a deep mark in her heart. She really wanted to save her husband and talk to him again, and she really couldn't raise the murderous intent of Yang Ling.
Cui'er observed her face and interrupted at the right time: "Miss, Brother Hu is talking about it. My son-in-law treats his brothers like brothers. This time, two hundred closest brothers died at his hands. This bloody hatred, with his son-in-law's righteous nature, how can he give up?
If the dog official returns safely, the defense will be strict in the future. If the son-in-law wants to take revenge again, wouldn’t it be very dangerous? He will succeed in his life. He avenged his brothers and returned to the mountain gate to give an explanation, so as not to take risks again."
Several thieves nodded repeatedly and turned their eyes to Hongmao. Hongmao was confused. After thinking for a while, she stomped her feet heavily and said, "Forget it, I will follow you, but you must be careful and make sure to put Brother Hu's safety first!"
Several thieves nodded in one go and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, we can pay attention to this." Cui'er looked at her and smiled slightly, and a hint of pride flashed through her eyes.
The streets of the capital were still prosperous, but there was a tense atmosphere. All the gates of the city were full of swords and guns, and the guards were on high. Due to the slow inspection, there were long queues of people leaving the city and entering the city.
The festive atmosphere of the New Year on the streets of the capital has been diluted a lot. Teams of Beijing camp officers and soldiers and police officers have passed through the streets and alleys from time to time. All local yamen and officials have deployed heavy troops and guarded them at all levels. The ministers who are usually light and simple in passing now have dozens of generals on the streets. Officials without this style and strength simply do not show up.
Such a tense atmosphere is unprecedented in the capital. Due to the inconvenience of entry and exit of each city gate, a large number of New Year goods cannot enter the city, resulting in soaring prices. It is said that if Yangchang Supervisor could not find it, the city ban would not be lifted for a while. People who were worried that the goods would be raised again had to face the cold wind and go to the streets to purchase New Year goods.
Old Dao Liu held up the flag and walked on the street swaying. The officers and soldiers passing by saw that it was just a shabby old Dao, with a calm expression, looking around looking around and looking at the business, and walked over just a few glances.
Old Dao Liu slowly walked outside the Wucheng Military Academy, walked into an alley outside the side wall, and when he was about to walk to the entrance of the alley, he pretended to put down the banner and rest, then picked up a stone, took out the letter from his waist, and wrapped it with a cloth towel. He threw it into the courtyard wall while the person was unprepared, then picked up the flag and left quickly.
The people in the Military and Ma Si cannot make a decision. The letter will be presented layer by layer, and the following will be written until noon at the earliest. If the court agrees to replace the person, it will mark the prominent building he designated. At that time, another yamen will invest in the letter and point out further requirements.
There are many vendors on Changdian Street. It is a relatively prosperous street. Liu Laodao spent a penny on the street. He rented a table like a wonton stall. He waited for customers leisurely. There were not many people who were interested in fortune-telling today, and not only did no one visit him. Everyone was not even interested in taking a look. Liu Laodao didn't care. He squinted his eyes and looked at the direction of the sunlight. After estimating the time, he was about to close the stall and find a place to eat. A handsome boy who looked like a servant stood in front of his stall.
Liu Laodao glanced at him indifferently, twisted his beard and smiled, "Are you a guy who is a character calculating or fortune telling? Or is he writing a letter to his family?"
The young man smiled and said, "The words I don't know are just to serve people in this life, so what's the point? I'd like to write a letter from the family on my behalf." As he said that, his fingers flicked his compass a few times as if bored, and his fingers made a few gestures very quickly.
Liu Laodao's face changed slightly, his hands were placed under his sleeves, and he returned a few gestures with the movements that only the standing boy could see. Then he said affectionately: "Please sit, please sit." While taking out the pen and ink, he asked quietly: "What are the instructions above?"
The servant glanced around with his chin and said softly: "It's very urgent. If you want to save Yang Ling's life no matter how you want, be sure to send him back to the court, no matter what method you use!"
Liu Laodao was stunned and gently spread a piece of paper. He lifted the inkstone and made a gesture to grind it. He said, "This person is the emperor's confidant, and killing him is very helpful to our great cause. Why should he let him go? Besides, he killed so many Yang Hu, how could Hong Niang be willing to let go? Please reply to the master of the altar, this person cannot be let go."
Although the young man looked like a servant, he was domineering and extremely arrogant. He sneered and said, "If the Hong Madam is blocked, even the Hong Madam will be killed. Remember, no matter what, be sure to ensure that he is thorough. This is not the order of the Lord of the Altar, but the order of the Lord of the Sect!"
Liu Laodao was shocked, and his hands stopped grinding the inkstone and said in surprise: "The leader is also in the capital? This matter is very difficult. Why do you suddenly have to protect him again?"
The boy's eyes turned cold and he said coldly: "Where is the leader, you are also asking about it?"
