Chapter 75

Tang Yin's entourage numbered hundreds of people. Now coupled with Zhang Zhou's team, there were nearly three thousand people. It was scary enough for so many people to enter the city late at night. The defenders at the city gate didn't know what was going on. He hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

"Stop! Who is that?" the leader of the defenders shouted loudly.

"President of Pingyuan County, Tang Yin!" Tang Yin urged his horse forward.

The magistrate of Pingyuan County? The little boss was startled. Didn't he just leave Shunzhou during the day? Why did you come back at night? He took two steps forward, his tone became much more polite, and asked, "Master Tang, is there anything wrong with you coming into the city late at night?"

"I'm looking for Mr. Yu, the county governor."

"Oh..." According to regulations, cities in border counties must be under martial law at night, and entry and exit must be ordered by superiors. The little leader asked: "Do you have any official documents or handwritings from the county chief?"

"No." Tang Yin answered simply.

"Then... I'm sorry, Mr. Tang, I can't let you into the city..."

Before he could finish speaking, Tang Yin interrupted him and said, "My meeting with Mr. Yu is both official and urgent. If you try to stop me here again, don't blame me for punishing him with military law. Read the full text!"

What a loud tone! Although the little leader's position is not high, he belongs to the garrison of the county. Tang Yin's official rank is much higher than him, but he is the county guard after all, and he has no control over him. He sneered in his heart, and his tone became disapproving, and said: "Isn't it a bit beyond your authority, Mr. Tang, to say this?!"

Tang Yin narrowed his eyes slightly, turned his head and shouted: "Gu Yue!"

"My subordinate is here!" Gu Yue stepped forward quickly.

Tang Yin raised his finger and pointed at the little leader, and shouted: "Pull aside and behead him. If anyone else prevents me from entering the city, he will be killed without mercy!"

Gu Yue was still stunned, but he quickly realized what he was doing, and then he took two big steps towards the little boss. Before the latter could react, he knocked off his helmet and grabbed the back of the little boss's neck. , pulled to the side of the road without any explanation.

The little leader was so frightened that he trembled all over. While struggling, he shouted repeatedly: "Master Tang, you can't... what right do you have to kill me..."

He was only halfway through his shouting, and before the soldiers around him could step forward to stop him, Gu Yue drew out his saber, lifted it up and dropped it. There was only a thud in his ear, and the little leader's head fell with a hard sound, and the windlass came out. Far.

Gu Yue is a typical soldier. He does not care whether what he does is right or wrong, or what consequences it will cause. As long as his superiors give orders, he will resolutely implement them.

"Huh?" Seeing such a scene, the soldiers guarding the city were frightened and frightened. They stood still, motionless, and were all frightened.

Tang Yin looked around at the defenders, snorted coldly, waved his hand and shouted: "Enter the city!"

After entering Shunzhou, Tang Yin took people directly to the county governor's mansion without going anywhere else.

At this time, it was nearly three o'clock in the morning, Yu He had already rested, and the county magistrate's mansion was also quiet.

Many of them came in a hurry, surprising the guards at the door.

Thinking that something unexpected had happened, the leader of the guards hurried forward to meet him. When he saw that the leader was Tang Yin who had gone and returned, he was confused and asked: "Tang...Master Tang? You...why are you here?" Already?"

"I'm looking for Mr. Yu."

"My lord has rested."

"You don't need him to come out to see me, I'll go in and find him!" Tang Yin dismounted, stretched out his hand to push the guard leader aside, and then walked straight to the gate of the mansion.

After being stunned for a moment, the leader of the guards came to his senses and hurriedly ran forward and said: "Master Tang, you... you can't force your way in like this. Even if you want to see the governor, you have to let me in first to inform you! "

Tang Yin said without looking back: "No, I don't have the time to wait!"

"Master Tang, Master Tang..."

The leader of the guards knew that Tang Yin had the title of General Zhenbei. In terms of official rank, he was not lower than Yu He. How dare he offend him, not even if he stopped him, but also if he didn't stop him. He followed Tang Yin, scratching his ears and cheeks anxiously, with cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

"What's going on? What's the noise about?"

Following the shouts of dissatisfaction, the steward of the county capital came out of the side room wearing clothes.

"Butler Yu, Mr. Tang wants to see the county chief!" Seeing the old butler, the leader of the guards secretly breathed a sigh of relief and threw the hot potato to Tang Yin.

"Master Tang?" Butler Yu leaned his head forward, and after a while of blurry eyes, he recognized Tang Yin. He asked in surprise: "Master Tang, why are you back?"

During the day, Tang Yin had seen him.

He quickly walked up to Butler Yu, grabbed his wrist, and said, "Butler Yu, take me to see Mr. Yu!" After saying that, without waiting for the old steward to answer, he forced him to walk towards the inner courtyard.

"Master Tang, what happened, can't we wait until tomorrow? Your Excellency has already rested..." The old housekeeper was dragged by Tang Yin and followed him involuntarily.

"This matter is of great importance and cannot be delayed." Tang Yin said indifferently.

"But... you have to wait until I inform you..." The old housekeeper stuttered.

"No need!" Tang Yin simply refused. "Just lead the way and tell me which room Mr. Yu lives in."

"This this……"

Before the old butler could find an excuse, Tang Yin put more force on his hands. His strength was beyond what ordinary people could bear, not to mention that the old butler was old. He squeezed his wrist bones like this, and it hurt. There was a strange cry.

Zhang Zhou, Qiu Zhen, Guyue and others who were following behind were all dumbfounded in secret. They had just killed a leader of the city guards at the city gate, and now they have forced their way into the county governor's house. Things have become completely messy. I really don't know. How will Tang Yin end?

Being half supported and half dragged by Tang Yin, the old housekeeper took him to Yu He's bedroom.

Looking up at the closed door, Tang Yin turned his head and asked, "Is this the room?"

"Yes...yes!" The old housekeeper's wrists were numbed by his grip, and his old face was twisted into a ball.

After receiving a positive answer, Tang Yin finally let go and strode to the door without knocking. He kicked the door open with a kick.

Bang! This loud noise was particularly loud in the quiet night, and it also scared the two people sleeping inside to scream.

"who?"

Yu closed his upper body and sat up from the bed instinctively. Beside him, there was also a gorgeous young woman in her twenties lying.

Tang Yin walked closer from outside as if there was no one around, stared at the two people on the bed, after a while, he smiled slightly, walked to the bed and said, "Master Yu, thank you for your hard work!"

Yu He rubbed his hazy sleepy eyes and looked carefully for a long time before he recognized Tang Yin. His face was full of shock and confusion, and he said in a trembling voice: "Tang...General Tang? You...why...are you here?"

"Of course I have something to do with Mr. Yu!" Tang Yin took two steps back with a smile, walked to the table, pulled up a chair, then returned to the bed and sat down slowly. At the same time, he shook his arms and pulled out two chairs. The crescent-shaped scimitar was revealed and slowly placed on the edge of the bed.

I don't know the purpose of his visit, but when I saw the twinkling swords, Yu He shivered. As for the young woman next to him, she was so frightened that she retracted her head into the quilt and her body kept shaking.

After all, Yu He had been a county guard for many years. Even though he was very nervous, he still pretended to have a calm expression, but his voice was trembling violently. He asked: "General Tang... what does this mean?"

"Master Yu, don't be nervous. I'm here just to ask you something."

"General Tang, please tell me something!"

"Winter is coming soon, the weather is cold, and our soldiers in Pingyuan County are still wearing single clothes. I wonder when Master Yu will deliver the cotton clothes?" Tang Yin asked in a calm tone.

"It turns out it's because of this!" Yu He's tense mood suddenly relaxed and he said: "Now the county is also rushing to make cotton-padded clothes. General Tang, you must know that there are three counties in Tianyuan County, and each county has Tens of thousands of soldiers, so many cotton-padded clothes, how can they be finished in a short time..."

Not wanting to listen to his wordy words, Tang Yin interrupted: "The armors of the soldiers in Pingyuan County have long been damaged and in short supply. Weapons, horses and other military supplies are also very scarce. Does it mean that the county also needs to make these things freshly? And once they are made, Just over three years?”

"This..." After being snatched away by Tang Yin, Yu He lost his composure and his fat face turned red.

Tang Yin continued: "In addition, there are military pay and food and grass. Pingyuan County has three corps and more than 30,000 soldiers, but the county guard only pays one and a half corps of military pay and food at a time. What is the purpose of this?"

Yu He stuttered and explained: "There are three corps in Pingyuan County, but wars continue and soldiers always suffer casualties, so..."

"So Mr. Yu only pays one and a half regiments of military pay and food?" Tang Yin laughed angrily and said, "I now understand why Pingyuan County is always harassed and attacked by barbarians, and why our soldiers are always Can't resist the enemy? It turns out that this is all thanks to you, Mr. Yu! Insufficient military resources have led to weak combat effectiveness, and insufficient military pay and food have led to low morale among the soldiers. Now I almost wonder if you, Mr. Yu, are the Morpheus Federation infiltrating us. Da Feng’s spy, your role is to destroy my Dafeng’s border defense.”

As he spoke, he stood up and raised his two knives.

Yu He thought he was going to kill him, so he screamed in fear: "Someone is coming! Someone is coming quickly!"

"Haha——" Tang Yin laughed, put away his two swords, and said: "Master Yu, don't be afraid, I won't kill you, I will just report what you did to your Majesty. With your Majesty's intelligence, Naturally, you will understand everything that happened here, and when the time comes, no matter how strong your support is, Mr. Yu, I’m afraid I won’t be able to withstand you!”

Tang Yin had never known Yu He before and had no understanding of him. Naturally, he had no idea whether he had any backers. However, he felt that such a greedy and incompetent person could sit at the head of the county and stay there for more than ten years. Ten times out of ten, there is someone to rely on.

His guess was correct. Yu He did have a backer in the royal court, and they were from the Zhong family among the four powerful people.

After hearing what he said, Yu He was stunned. Will he report his matter to the king? What's the point? Can you still save your head? If it were another county guard, he wouldn't care about such a threat at all, but Tang Yin is different. He is the general of Zhenbei personally appointed by the emperor, and has the right to submit urgent documents directly to the emperor.
