Volume 10 Chapter 409

Chapter 409

Pan Yuan did not finish his words, but looked at Tang Yin in confusion and asked, "Brother, why do you care so much about this?"

Tang Yin's heart moved. This Pan Yuan, who seemed careless, was actually quite cautious.

He said calmly, "I'm just curious! If Brother Pan doesn't trust me, I don't have to tell you!" As he spoke, he pretended to be lonely and lowered his head, picked up the wine glass, and drank it all.

Pan Yuan just asked casually, and he never doubted Tang Yin's intention. Seeing this, he hurriedly smiled and said, "How could I not trust you, brother!" After a pause, he leaned close to Tang Yin's ear and whispered, "The dark warehouse is in the county capital!"

"Oh?" Tang Yin was stunned. When he was in the Feng Army camp, he had seen the city map of Pufeng. He felt that the county capital was not very big. Could it accommodate so much stored grain? He also asked in a low voice: "Did Brother Pan see it with his own eyes?"

"That's not the case." Pan Yuan said seriously: "However, in recent times, as long as a larger grain transport team arrives at the county city, the grain will be directly pulled to the county capital, and then it will never be pulled out again. There are only a few people in the county capital, and it is impossible to eat so much grain. Therefore, I speculate that there is a hidden warehouse in the county capital."

If this is true, then Pan Yuan's speculation is very likely to be true. He thought so in his heart, but Tang Yin did not say it out loud. He smiled and said disapprovingly: "It turns out that it was just Brother Pan's conjecture."

"What? Brother doesn't believe it?" Pan Yuan, who was already a little drunk, stared.

"Believe, believe, believe!" Tang Yin pretended to deal with it and said: "Brother Pan is a veteran with rich experience. Brother Pan's speculation will not be wrong."

"Well, brother, you are still good at talking! Come on, drink!" "Drink!"

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Tang Yin called the proprietress to settle the bill. They just ordered a few pots of inferior rice wine, four dishes, and six bowls of rice, but when they paid the bill, they had to pay eight taels of silver.

Tang Yin didn't have a big concept of money. He took out all the silver and copper coins in his arms and scattered them on the table. He pushed them in front of the proprietress and said, "Madam, please count the money to see if it's enough."

"Too much." Without waiting for the proprietress to speak, Pan Yuan stood up shakily, picked out a few silver coins from the silver, weighed them slightly in his hand, nodded, and said to the proprietress, "Exactly eight taels!"

"Stingy!" Looking at the half of the silver and copper coins left on the table, the proprietress rolled her eyes at Pan Yuan and grumbled in dissatisfaction.

Pan Yuan didn't care. He took the boss's hand and put the change in her hand. Then he stroked it gently and said with a smile: "If the boss can serve me in the evening, all this money will be yours..."

"Who cares!" Before he finished speaking, the boss had already pulled his hand back fiercely and walked back to the counter.

Tang Yin was a little surprised by the boss's reaction. It seemed that this woman was just dissolute, but not slutty.

Tang Yin didn't care much about people or things that had nothing to do with him. He signaled to Letian to collect the change on the table, and then smiled at Pan Yuan: "Flowing flowers have intentions, but flowing water is ruthless. Brother Pan, let's go!"

Pan Yuan didn't feel the embarrassment and embarrassment of being turned away. He laughed and followed Tang Yin out of the restaurant. When they got outside, Tang Yin said, "Brother Pan has drunk some wine, so you'd better not go on duty. Otherwise, if General Deng finds out, he will inevitably be punished."

"It's okay, it's okay. This little bit of wine is nothing. Even if General Deng really finds out, the worst that can happen is that I'll be beaten with twenty military sticks. I can still survive it." As he spoke, he looked up at the direction of the sun and said, "It's getting late. I have to go back to the city gate. You guys go back to your residence first. I'll come to find you later."

"Brother Pan, are you really okay?"

"It's okay!"

"Then... OK, be careful!" After watching Pan Yuan leave, Tang Yin's smile disappeared. He lowered his head to Letian, Cheng Jin and the other four and walked quickly towards their residence.

Now the plan has changed. There is not only one open granary in the city, but there is probably a hidden granary. This requires them to destroy both places at the same time.

After returning to their residence, Tang Yin and his men immediately entered the main room, asked the secret arrow personnel to guard the surroundings, and then closed the door tightly. They talked secretly in the room.

Cheng Jin first raised his doubts and said, "Your Majesty, the fact that there is a hidden warehouse in the city is just Pan Yuan's guess. It is hard to tell whether it is true or false!"

Tang Yin nodded and asked, "Le Tian, ​​what do you think?"

Le Tian pondered for a moment and said, "I think Pan Yuan has no need to lie to Your Majesty. According to what he said, a large amount of grain has been stored in the county capital. It is very likely that there is a hidden warehouse. Perhaps the Mo people are also guarding against spies sent by our army to infiltrate Pufeng, so we have to make preparations for both situations and set up a granary with one open and one hidden. Even if the open warehouse is destroyed, there is still a hidden warehouse available. In addition, the county The capital is heavily guarded and has no idle personnel, which is the best place to block the news and hide the secret warehouse. "

Cheng Jin continued: "General Le's analysis is very reasonable, but we should be prepared for the worst. What if there is no secret warehouse in the county capital? Therefore, our top priority now is to quickly find out the situation in the county capital and whether there is a secret warehouse. "

"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded and said: "Cheng Jin is right. This matter... I will investigate!"

"Your Majesty will investigate? How does Your Majesty want to investigate?" Le Tian and Cheng Jin asked in surprise.

Tang Yin scratched his hair and muttered in a low voice: "I have to think about it carefully. "

When it was almost dark in the evening, Pan Yuan came. He looked refreshed, and it was obvious that he had not been punished for drinking. With his arrival, the originally lifeless atmosphere in the small courtyard where Tang Yin and others lived immediately became lively.

As soon as Pan Yuan entered the courtyard, he shouted: "Come out, come out, everyone come out, quickly take bowls and basins, go to get dinner, if you don't want dinner, go to the restaurant!"

As he shouted, Tang Yin and others walked out of the house one after another, each with a blank look on their faces, not knowing what Pan Yuan was thinking.

Seeing that they were all stunned and did not move, Pan Yuan said anxiously: "Why are you still in a daze, follow me to get dinner, it will be too late and there will be nothing left."

It turned out that it was time for dinner. Tang Yin and others ran to the kitchen together, took out all the pots, bowls and basins, and followed Pan Yuan to get dinner.

On the way, Tang Yin asked Pan Yuan: "Brother Pan, we brothers don't come to the county town often, and we don't know what fun places there are in the county town."

Pan Yuan was only thinking about getting his meal quickly. He looked forward and said absent-mindedly: "Now almost everyone has run away, where are the fun places..."

"Then...then is there...brothels..." Tang Yin asked in a low voice with embarrassment.

Puff! Pan Yuan was so angry that he laughed. The Feng army was almost under his nose, and Ma Wu and his men were still thinking about brothels! What a country bumpkin! He looked at Tang Yin, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile: "With your appearance, you can find any woman. Why do you need a brothel? I think the boss lady likes you very much. If you really want a woman, I will ask for you!"

"No, no, no, it's not me, it's my brothers who want to... go to a brothel to see the world."

"Haha!" Pan Yuan laughed and said: "Now the only people who stay in the city are soldiers and those who are desperate to make money. Speaking of which, there is really a brothel, but don't think about it. It's prepared for generals. If you want to spend a night there, you can't even have silver. What they want now is gold!"

Tang Yin's heart moved, and asked: "Where is the brothel? Even if we don't go in, we can look at the door."

Pan Yuan shook his head and said: "It's on Xuanwu Street in the west of the city. It's very obvious. You can see it when you get there."

"Thank you, Brother Pan!"

"I think you shouldn't go and make trouble for yourself. That kind of place is not for people like us to go..."

Tang Yin smiled and said nothing more. When we arrived at the place where we received food, there were already a huge crowd of people. Looking around, the wide streets were full of soldiers. Some people were queuing up to receive food, while some people who had already received food sat on the street and ate it with big mouthfuls.

While queuing with the crowd, Tang Yin looked up. There was a bucket of rice and a bucket of soup at the place where we received food. No one was distributing food, so we had to do it ourselves. Everyone who got their turn picked up the rice spoon and tried their best to fill the bowl, fearing that they would not be full if they did not fill enough.

Seeing this, Tang Yin smiled in his heart, and whispered to Pan Yuan beside him: "Brother Pan, try to come earlier when you receive food next time, and it's best to be the first in line."

Pan Yuan said disapprovingly: "It's the same whether you come early or late. By the time you finish eating, the food will be gone."

Tang Yin smiled and said: "That's why we have to come early. First, we only take a small half bowl of rice and eat it up as quickly as possible, and then queue up for the next bowl. This bowl can be filled with as much as it can be, so that we can ensure that we are full." Even if we die in battle one day, we can die with a full stomach! He added silently in his heart.

Oh, why didn't I think of this method before! Pan Yuan looked at Tang Yin with surprise and joy, and exclaimed: "Brother, you are so smart, this is a good idea."

Tang Yin smiled secretly in his heart. When China ate from the same pot, many people did this, especially in the countryside. He smiled and said, "Brother Pan, thank you for the compliment." You have helped me a lot, and this is a little repayment to you!

After a quick meal, Pan Yuan went back to his own residence to rest, and Tang Yin and others also returned to the small shabby house where they stayed.

When it was three o'clock in the morning, a black shadow rushed out of the small house. The black shadow moved very quickly, and it appeared and disappeared from time to time, like a ghost.
