Chapter 138

Yuan Jing glared at Shao Yue fiercely, but he had to be pushed away from the room by Feng Liu. He knew that his son must not be able to resist Shao Yue's interrogation, and he felt sad that the situation was gone.

Sure enough, Shao Yue only slightly punished yuan family Dalang, and described a beautiful blueprint that as long as he could honestly explain, he could save his life. Sure enough, he told all the news he knew.

"My father is in contact with Wan people. During the new year, another Wan people disguised as a servant came to my house quietly to find my father. My father thought I didn't know anything. In fact, I hid outside my study to eavesdrop on their conversation those nights."

Shao Yue asked Lan Shi to record what yuan family Dalang told him. Yuan Jing began to collude with Wan state three years ago. In recent years, Yuan Jing threatened many officials, joined his camp, helped himself transport the grain he bought at a low price from the people to Wan state, and then hid a large amount of gold and silver in his private house.

Yuan's eldest brother explained everything, but Shao Yue was more and more angry. He didn't expect Yuan Jing to do such a thing. Isn't this taking the hard-earned food of the people of Yin in exchange for money?

Lan Shi asked yuan family Dalang to draw a pledge, and then asked someone to take Dalang out. When she turned around and saw a serious Shao Yue, she took the initiative to ask, "general, since the yuan family has been confirmed, we can arrest CHEN Si now and press them back to Luodu together?"

Shaoyue shook his head and took out the secret letter in his arms again. He just got a lot of information from Yuan Dalang's words. Now he can roughly understand that Yuan Jing's letter to Chen Si is actually an order for him to escort grain or gold and silver.

For example, "less food in Huojia village thirty miles west of Yunnan city" is to let CHEN Si transport the food to Huojia village, where Yuan Jing has arranged the handover of good people, and the next step is to transport the food to the state of Wan. However, "there are horse thieves raging at the foot of Tongshan mountain fifty miles north, and my brother can send someone to destroy it". This is to let CHEN Si send someone to take the real gold and silver from the fake horse thieves.

During this period, however, I would like to repeat that the food and money mentioned in their letter are only a proxy. Shao Yue can't imagine how many officials they have colluded with and how many grains the people of Yin have painstakingly planted to Wan in recent years.

At present, seeing that the things mentioned in the letter can correspond to those explained by Yuan Dalang, Shaoyue is relieved that he can't be arbitrary in such a shocking case. He immediately asked Lan Shi to send someone to Luodu to report the whole matter to the emperor.

LAN Shide ordered and turned to go out to find someone. Shao Yue was sitting in the house alone. He was becoming more and more uneasy. Why did Wan state want more food recently than last year? It was only early March, and the total amount of food wanted was about to catch up with half of last year. Thinking of the changes in Yunnan City, he asked Feng Liu to interrogate Yuan Jing again.

As soon as Yuan Jing entered the house, he saw Shao Yue, who was not angry with Ziwei, and shivered in his heart: "don't you know what to say from Dalang's mouth?"

Shao Yue stared at Yuan Jing and said, "the state of Wan is going to attack Yunnan city recently, isn't it?"

Feng Liu looked at Yuan Jing in surprise, but Yuan Jing still looked like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water: "general Shao is really kidding. I just smuggled some grain for some silver. How can I know this important news?"

Shao Yue was more certain when he saw Yuan Jing and Gu left and right. The previous change in Yunnan city was that some people heard some rumors, and Yuan Jing's move confirmed that Wan state really wanted to send troops.

"Lord yuan, I really don't understand why you are such a loyal minister dedicated to the emperor's majesty and have become the running dog of Wan state. Now Wan state is going to attack Yin state. Do you really have the heart to watch your country occupied by foreigners?"

Yuan Jing suddenly sneered and said with a ferocious face: "bear it, how can I not bear it? The emperor can kill my daughter. Why should I be loyal to him."

Few people know that Yuan Jing, the governor of Northwest China, also has a eldest daughter. Because his daughter is as beautiful as a flower, he was chosen by his majesty to be a concubine in the palace. His majesty once spoiled yuan's daughter, but yuan's daughter was pushed down from the pavilion after pregnancy, and one body and two lives died.

Yuan Jing did everything to find out that it was the emperor's favorite imperial concubine who killed his daughter, but the murderer who killed his daughter was not punished by the emperor. Yuan Jing hated his Majesty's affectionate, his indifference, and why he would be loyal to such a king.

Yuan Jing with hatred began to plan contact with the people of Wan. It took him a few years to find a partner. They agreed to exchange the food the people of Wan lacked. Yuan Jing also began to win over other officials and boarded the thief ship together.

This year, the state of Wan asked for a lot of food in advance. Yuan Jing also had a hunch that the state of Wan was going to start a military. It was great. The emperor he hated was finally going to be overthrown, but at such a critical moment, how could Shaoyue see through such a careful plan?

Yuan Jing's face was full of regret. It was a pity that the emperor could not be killed by the people of Wan this time: "even if you found out, now you have no soldiers to use. The people of Wan gathered 20000 troops down the Min River. At that time, even if you know the news in advance, you can't stop it."

Min River originates from the border between Wan and Yin. The river crosses the whole Yin country from west to East and flows into the sea in Jincheng. The nearest place is only a few decades away from Luodu. Wan is vast and sparsely populated, and the combat effectiveness of soldiers is very strong. In addition, the river rises in spring. Once the ships flow down, Luodu is in danger.

Shao yuemeng stepped forward and grabbed Yuan Jing's collar: "well, if Wan people really fight, I'll throw your family on the Min River to feed fish. Feng Liu, you go on trial." he hurriedly turned and left. Lan Shi, who had just arranged for a good man to send a letter to Luodu, hurried to follow Shao Yue.

Shao Yue said, "Xiaolan, how many soldiers and horses are available in our hands now?"

Lan Shi said, "brother brought dozens of people back to Beijing. We still have 3000 people in our hands. General, why is your face so ugly?"

How will the war be fought between 3000 and 20000? Shao Yue didn't express his worries to Lan Shi. He only slightly mentioned a few words when he saw Bai Xian at night: "xian'er, I have seen Yuan Jing, and he has explained a lot of things. You can leave Chen's house in a few days."

Of course, Bai Xian was most concerned about the truth explained by Yuan Jing: "what did the letter say? And is it true that Yunnan city is going to war?"

Shao Yue nodded heavily. The reality of the war was pressing on his heart, which made him eager to seek Bai Xian's enlightenment and help. Even if it was just a few words of comfort, he was also very happy: "in the letter, Yuan Jing and CHEN Si colluded to transport grain to Wan and silver back, but these are not important. The most important thing is..."

Bai Xian looked at Shao Yue and suddenly stopped. He immediately asked with concern, "what's the most important?"

Shao Yue said, "the most important thing is that the people of Wan revealed to Yuan Jing their intention to attack Yin in the near future. They want to go all the way south along the Min River."

Bai Xian frowned. Min river flowed next to Yunnan city. Along the river, Wan people can appear in Yunnan city within five days: "general, we must be ready in advance."
