Volume 10 Chapter 156
The teahouse was relatively clean, but the tables and chairs were very old and looked shabby. Read the full text. Seeing so many soldiers rushing in, the shopkeepers and waiters in the teahouse were stunned. They stood trembling against the wall, not daring to breathe.
After Tang Yin came in, he looked around a lot, then walked to the table in the middle and sat down. The rest of the wind generals also found their seats and sat down one after another.
Tang Yinxiang raised his eyes and looked at the manager, wanting to wave to him.
He was not wearing royal robes. But he was also wearing a military uniform. When the shopkeeper saw him calling him, he didn't dare to go over. At this time, two guards came forward. Without any explanation, one of them grabbed one of his arms and dragged him to Tang Yin.
"General, have mercy on me, general, have mercy on me!" The shopkeeper knelt on the ground, with snot and tears flowing out.
"Don't be afraid, shopkeeper, we Fengren are not man-eating tigers." Tang Yin patted his shoulder with a smile, and then said: "Ask your guy to serve us some herbal tea to escape the summer heat."
ah? So it was just tea? ! The shopkeeper was stunned for a while before he realized what was happening. He stood up from the ground in a hurry, turned around and shouted: "Serve tea, serve tea to the generals quickly. What are you doing standing still?" As he spoke, he said to Tang Yin: "Guys. I haven’t seen the world before.”
"No need." Tang Yin waved his hand, pointed to the empty seat next to him, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, sit down and chat."
The teahouse owner grinned secretly, but did not dare to disobey, and sat tremblingly next to Tang Yin. He said he was sitting, but in fact his entire shroud was stiff, almost like kneeling there. While waiting for tea, Tang Yin asked casually: "Is your business good here?"
When the Fengjun guards rushed in just now, they drove away a lot of tea guests, dozens of them. The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly and stammered: "xiao...xiao's business is just for living."
Tang Yin changed the subject and asked again: "What is the name of the lord of this city?"
"It's Master Liu Chongliu!" the shopkeeper answered truthfully.
"Where is he now?" Tang Yinxiao asked.
The Lord has run away a long time ago. I don’t know where the Lord is. . . . . . "
Before he finished speaking, the guards standing around also took out their sabers.
When the shopkeeper saw this, he was so frightened that he used his knees as his feet, took two hurried steps back, kowtowed repeatedly, his voice changed, and he shouted: "Everything the young man said is true, I really don't know where the Lord of the City has gone. !”
Tang Yin was happy and said with a smile: "You don't have to be afraid, I'm just talking." He raised his head and looked at the guards on the left and right with dissatisfaction. Everyone stopped and lowered their heads and took half a step back.
Soon, the waiter brought the tea one by one. Before Tang Yin could drink it first, Asan and Asi quickly took out the silver needle and tested whether the tea was poisonous. Then they asked the guards to taste the tea to confirm that it was non-toxic and non-toxic, and then helped Tang Yin fill up the tea.
Tang Yin took a sip and almost spit it out on the spot. The tea was bitter and astringent, making it difficult to swallow, but he also understood that the taste of herbal tea to escape the summer heat was not much better. He resisted swallowing the tea and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, since the city lord has run away, why don't you run away?"
The shopkeeper replied cautiously: "There are no soldiers in the city, and there will be no more fighting, so... so the people in the city did not run away..." "But there are not many people on the streets." Tang Yin drank. He said with a shrug over the tea.
"The wind and sand have been too strong these days, so everyone is trying to avoid going out."
"Oh, so that's it." Tang Yin felt the same way and muttered in a low voice: "What a damn weather." As he said that, he drank the remaining half bowl of tea.
It was obvious that Tang Yin should be the leader of these wind troops. Seeing that his tea bowl was empty, the shopkeeper fawningly took the initiative to help him pour tea. However, before his hand even touched the teapot, he was slapped open by Asan and Asi. The latter She glared at him coldly, then picked up the teapot and filled Tang Yin's tea bowl.
Tang Yin asked calmly: "Anqiu is backward and isolated, and the weather is also very bad. Have you never considered moving to other counties?"
Hearing this, the shopkeeper couldn't help but sigh and said: "The climate here is a bit worse, but our ancestors have lived here for generations and are used to it, and we are not willing to leave. Moreover, Anqiu was not so depressed before. We This is very close to Yu State, and caravans from the two countries often pass by Anqiu. However, in recent decades, Anqiu has been plagued by banditry, and caravans gradually dare not leave Anqiu and would rather take the long way to Surabaya."
"Brands are causing disasters?" Tang Yin raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is the government unwilling to send troops to encircle and suppress them?"
"The government has sent troops." The shopkeeper said helplessly: "There have been several encirclement and suppression campaigns before, but they were unsuccessful. The court refused to use the Central Army, so the banditry issue has been dragged on." "Oh!" Tang Yin nodded and said. "If the banditry is eliminated, Anqiu will be much more prosperous, right?" "Of course, without the bandits, caravans will pour in in large numbers, and Xiaoren's teahouse business will be much stronger than it is now!" Judging from Tang Yin's attitude, He is very easy-going, and the shopkeeper is gradually becoming more courageous, and he speaks much more smoothly than before.
"What's the point of just banditry?!" Tang Yin said proudly: "I, Dafeng, have been ordered by the emperor to fight against rebellion. When I pass by Anqiu this time, I should also contribute to the people of Anqiu!"
"General, are you going to help Anqiu suppress the bandits?" The shopkeeper was surprised and happy, looking at Tang Yin with wide eyes.
Tang Yin nodded and said with a smile: "It's just a little effort. What's more, the people of Baoanqiu live and work in peace and contentment, which is also the responsibility of my Feng Jun during this trip!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden commotion in the backyard of the teahouse. Before anyone could figure out what was going on, a waiter rushed in from the back door in a panic and ran towards Tang Yin. Before he could get close, the surrounding guards had already taken action and knocked him to the ground.
The shopkeeper's face changed, and he shouted to Tang Yin: "General, he is a clerk in my shop."
Tang Yin waved his hands to the guards, telling them to move away. The waiter got up from the ground tremblingly, enduring the pain in his body, and cried to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, there is a Fengjun rushing into the backyard, trying to be rude to the landlady and the shopkeeper!"
Hearing this, the shopkeeper was shocked and horrified, and shouted anxiously to Tang Yin: "General, what are you..."
Tang Yin also frowned secretly. When he entered the city, he had already promised not to massacre the city, harm the people, or loot money. Why couldn't he stop this kind of thing, and it was still under his nose. He shouted in a deep voice without expression: "Cheng Jin!"
"My subordinate is here!"
"Go and see what's going on."
"yes!"
Cheng Jin agreed and strode toward the backyard. The shopkeeper couldn't sit still anymore. He didn't know what was going on in the backyard. He was so anxious that he stood up, looked at Tang Yin, and said tremblingly: "General
Tang Yin didn't say much, he just waved his hands in annoyance. The shopkeeper stood up with relief and rushed to the backyard.
The noise in the backyard not only did not stop, but became louder and louder. After a while, screams were heard. Tang Yin's brows were about to turn into knots. He slammed the teacup in his hand on the table, stood up from his desk, and headed to the backyard to see what was going on.
When he got out of the back door of the teahouse, he took a look outside. Well, there were several corpses lying on the ground in the courtyard. They were all teahouse clerks. There were also more than 20 Fengjun guards standing on both sides. Several of them had steel weapons in their hands. The knife was still dripping with blood.
Seeing Tang Yin coming out, all the guards trembled, knelt on one knee and saluted, and said in unison: "Your Majesty!"
Tang Yin looked calm and did not ask any questions. He looked up at the back room opposite, hesitated for a moment, and then walked over.
Just entered the room. The smell of blood hit his nose. The shopkeeper who had been answering questions with him just now fell into a pool of blood. A ruthless knife almost cut off half of his neck, and blood spurted out from the wound. Looking inside again, there was Cheng Jin and several disheveled Fengjun guards. Lying on the bed was a naked woman, her white body covered in bruises and her eyes wide and lifeless. He stared at the ceiling without blinking, obviously out of breath. Next to the corpse, there was a girl who was only thirteen or fourteen years old. Her clothes had been torn to pieces and she was curled up in a corner.
"Can anyone tell me what's going on?" Tang Yin's eyes were spitting fire, and his lungs were almost exploding with anger. In the past, people often said that the Feng army had lax military discipline and bad military conduct. They burned, killed, looted and looted the enemy's civilians, and committed all kinds of evil. Tang Yin did not deny this, and had ruthlessly rectified it several times. This time, it was better. None of the Central Army Corps had any more troubles. Something went wrong, and something happened to his closest bodyguard. How could he feel embarrassed?
Cheng Jin looked around at the guards around him, shook his head secretly, and retreated behind Tang Yin silently.
In the crowd, a guard captain bravely said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Here's what happened. When we searched here, we found this woman lying on the bed without clothes, seducing us. The brothers couldn't control it for a moment, so they . . . Later, the tavern owner came in and shouted to kill him, so the brothers cut him down with a knife!
Tang Yin almost got angry, he could think of such a lame excuse! He looked around at everyone, nodded slowly, turned his head and shouted: "Cheng Jin?"
"My subordinate is here!"
"According to military law, civilians, women and children are killed indiscriminately. How should we deal with them?"
Cheng Jin straightened his face and said, "The crime should be executed!"
"Then what are you waiting for?"
Cheng Jin did not dare to be merciful anymore, so he took two steps back and shouted loudly: "Come here, take them all down!" Following his words, more than ten people appeared in the room instantly, all in black brocade. He was dressed in clothes, with a blood-red cloak on his back and a snakeskin saber on his waist. No one saw where they came from, no one even heard them enter the room, as if they were born out of thin air.
The secret arrow personnel stepped forward and without any explanation, pushed several guards and the guard captain to the ground.
Even hidden arrows were deployed. The guards saw that the king was definitely not trying to scare them. They lay on the ground with bloodless faces and shouted repeatedly: "My king, spare my life, my king, spare your life!"
The captain of the guard shouted the loudest: "Your Majesty, seeing that I have followed you for several years without any merit but with hard work, please bypass me this time! Your Majesty -"
