There were already hundreds of people following Tang Yin, and now with Zhang Zhou's group, there were almost 3,000 people. With so many people entering the city in the middle of the night, it was scary enough, but the guards at the city gates did not know what had happened, and quickly went forward to stop them.
"Stop!" "Who is it?" the leader of the garrison shouted.
"Pingyuan County County Guard, Tang Yin!" Tang Yin urged his horse forward.
A county governor of Pingyuan County? Didn't he just come out with his Shunzhou during the day? Why did he come back at night? He took two steps forward, and his tone became much more courteous, and asked: "May I ask if Master Tang has anything to do after entering the city late at night?"
"I'm looking for County Magistrate Lord Yu."
"Oh …" According to the rules, the cities in the border counties would have to be under martial law until nightfall, and those in and out of the cities would have to be instructed by their superiors. The leader asked: "Do you have any official documents or orders from the County Head?"
"Nope." Tang Yin answered straightforwardly.
"Then... I'm sorry Master Tang, I am unable to let you enter the city … "
Without waiting for him to finish, Tang Yin cut him off and said: "I'm looking for Master Yu because it's an urgent matter, and if you continue to obstruct me, then don't blame me for my military punishment!"
What big words! Although the position of a small chief was not high, he belonged to the army of Provincial Capital. Tang Yin's rank was much higher than his, but he was still a county governor, so it was not up to him. He sneered in his heart, and his tone also became disapproving as he said: "Master Tang's words are a little out of line right?!"
Tang Yin squinted his eyes, and shouted: "Gu Yue!"
"Your subordinate is here!" Gu Yue stepped forward quickly.
Tang Yin pointed to the leader, and shouted: "Pull him to the side, kill him, if there is anyone else who can stop me from entering the city, kill them all!"
Gu Yue was still startled, but he quickly reacted, and with two large strides, he arrived in front of the small leader. Without waiting for the latter to react, he knocked off the helmet in a single go, and then grabbed onto the small head's neck, pulling him to the side of the road without saying anything.
The leader was so frightened that his entire body was trembling. He struggled and shouted, "Master Tang, you can't... "What right do you have to kill me …"
Halfway through his words, before the surrounding soldiers could stop him, Gu Yue had already unsheathed his blade, his hand holding onto it as his blade fell. With a thump sound, the head of the little head hit the ground, rolling far away.
Gu Yue was a typical soldier. No matter what he did, whether he was right or wrong, or what kind of consequences it would bring about, as long as his superior ordered him, he would resolutely carry it out.
"Huh?" Seeing this scene, the soldiers were both shocked and terrified. They stood on the spot, not moving at all. They were all scared silly.
Tang Yin looked at the defending army, snorted, and waved his hand, shouting: "Enter the city!"
After entering the Shunzhou, without going elsewhere, Tang Yin brought his people directly to the County Magistrate Manor.
At this time, near the third fragment of the night, Yu He had already rested and the County Magistrate Residence was also quiet.
Many of them rushed over, shocking the guards at the entrance.
Just as he thought that something unexpected had happened, the leader of the guards walked up to him with quick steps. Seeing that the person leading the group was Tang Yin, who had returned after leaving, his face was filled with bafflement as he asked: "Tang … Master Tang? You... "Why are you here?"
"I'm looking for Lord Yu."
"The lord has rested."
"There's no need for him to come out and meet me. I'll go in and look for him!" Tang Yin dismounted, pushed the leader of the guards aside, and then walked straight towards the manor's entrance.
The leader of the guards reacted after being stunned for a moment. He hastily ran forward and said: "Master Tang, you … You can't barge in like that, even if you want to meet Master County Magistrate, you have to let me in first to let me know! "
Tang Yin replied without turning his head, "No need, I don't have the time to wait!"
"Master Tang, Master Tang …"
The Guard Leader knew that Tang Yin had the title of General Zhenbei. In terms of rank, he was not inferior to Yu He, so how could he dare to offend him? He could neither block him nor block him as he followed behind Tang Yin, scratching his ears anxiously with cold sweat trickling down his forehead.
"What's going on? "What's so noisy about?"
Following the discontented shouts, the butler of the County Head Palace walked out of the side room, dressed in her clothes.
"Butler Yu, Master Tang wants to see County Head!" Seeing the old butler, the guard leader heaved a sigh of relief and threw Tang Yin, the hot potato, to the butler.
"Master Tang?" Butler Yu stuck his head forward, and only after looking for a while with his old eyes did he recognize Tang Yin. He said in shock, "Master Tang, why have you returned?"
During the day, Tang Yin had seen him before.
He quickly walked in front of Butler Yu and grabbed his wrist, saying, "Butler Yu, take me to see Lord Yu!" After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for the old butler to reply and forcefully dragged him into the inner court.
"Master Tang, what exactly happened? Can't you wait until tomorrow? "The lord has long since rested …" The old butler was pulled by Tang Yin and was forced to follow him.
"This is an important matter, we cannot delay it." Tang Yin said coldly.
"But …" "That will have to wait for my report …" The old butler stuttered.
"No need!" "Tang Yin rejected his bluntly. Just take the lead the way and tell me which room Lord Yu is staying in. "
"This... "This …"
Without waiting for the old butler to make excuses, Tang Yin increased the strength in his hands. How could ordinary people be able to handle his strength, not to mention the old butler who was already old, having his wrist crushed like this, he screamed out in pain.
Zhang Zhou, Qiu Zhen, Gu Yue and the rest who were behind were secretly speechless. Just now, they had already killed a city guard leader at the city gate, and now, they had barged into the County Magistrate Palace.
Being half-held hostage by Tang Yin, the old butler braced himself and brought him to Yu He's room.
Looking at the tightly closed door, Tang Yin turned and asked: "This is the room?"
"Yes …" "Yes!" The old butler's wrist was numb from his grip, and his old face was twisted into a scowl.
Receiving an affirmative answer, Tang Yin finally let go. He walked to the door with large strides, and without knocking, he kicked the door open.
Boom! * This loud sound was especially loud in the quiet night. At the same time, it frightened the two people who were sleeping soundly out of their wits.
"Who is it?"
Yu He was naked from head to toe, and instinctively sat up on the bed. Beside him, there was a beautiful young lady in her twenties.
Tang Yin ignored everyone and walked over, staring at the two on the bed. After a while, he smiled and walked to the bedside and said: "Master Yu, you've worked hard!"
Yu He rubbed his hazy, sleepy eyes, and only after staring for a while did he manage to recognize Tang Yin. His face was filled with shock and confusion, and he said with a trembling voice: "Tang … General Tang? You... How did you... will it be here? "
"Of course it's to find Lord Yu for something!" Tang Yin laughed as he took two steps back, walked to the side of the table, pulled out a chair, and then returned to the bedside and sat down slowly. At the same time, his arms trembled as he took out two crescent-shaped Scimitar s and placed them on the edge of the bed.
He did not know the purpose of his visit, but seeing the pair of blades shining black light, Yu He shuddered. As for the young lady beside him, she was so shocked that she immediately hid her head under the blanket, her body trembling uncontrollably.
After all, Yu He had been a County Magistrate for many years. Even though he was extremely nervous, he still pretended to have a calm expression. What does that mean? "
"Lord Yu, don't worry. I've come this time to ask you just one thing."
"General Tang has something to say!"
"It's almost winter and the weather is cold, but my Pingyuan County soldiers are still wearing their simple clothes. I wonder when Lord Yu will be able to send the cotton-padded clothing over?" Tang Yin asked indifferently.
"So it was because of this matter!" Yu He's tensed mood immediately relaxed, and he said: "Right now, even the entire county is rushing to make cotton clothes. General Tang, you need to know that there are three counties under Tianyuan County, and each county has more than ten thousand soldiers. With so many cotton-padded clothes, how could it be possible to finish them in a short period of time … "
Not wanting to hear his words, Tang Yin interrupted: "The Pingyuan County soldiers' armor is already damaged and in short supply, the weapons, war horses and other military assets are all in short supply, don't tell me that even the entire county needs these things? And you've been doing it for more than three years? "
"This …" After being robbed by Tang Yin, Yu He's face was unsightly, his fat face had turned red.
Tang Yin continued to speak, "Furthermore, there are pay, food, Pingyuan County has three legions, which exceeds thirty thousand soldiers, but Lord County Magistrate is only giving out one and a half legions of pay and food at a time, what is the use of this?"
Yu He stuttered as he explained, "The Pingyuan County do have three legions, but because of the continuous fighting, death and injury constantly occur among the soldiers, so …"
"So Master Yu only gave out a one-and-a-half regiment's worth of pay and rations?" Tang Yin laughed from the depths of his anger, and said: "I finally understand, why Pingyuan County is constantly being harassed and attacked by Savage Country, and why our soldiers and soldiers are always unable to defend against the enemy? So this was all thanks to your Lord Yu! This has caused the soldiers' morale to plummet. Right now, I almost want to suspect that you, Sir Yu, are a spy whose Morfeas Confederacy has snuck into my wind, and that your function is to destroy my wind border guards. "
As he spoke, he stood up and raised both his blades at the same time.
Yu He thought that he was going to kill her, and screamed again and again, "Men! Someone come quickly! "
"Haha —" Tang Yin laughed out loud, sheathed his blade and said: "Master Yu do not need to be afraid, I will not kill you, and will only report what you have done to the king. With your intelligence, you will naturally understand everything that has happened here, and at that time, no matter how strong or strong your backer is, you will not be able to withstand it!"
Tang Yin didn't know Yu He in the past, and didn't know anything about him either. Naturally, he wouldn't know whether had a backer, but he felt that this kind of greedy and incompetent person could also sat in the position of the County Head, and for more than ten years, he would most likely have a backer as well.
His guess was right, Yu He did have a backer within the Imperial Court, and was even the Zhong Family of the four great nobles.
Hearing his words, Yu He was startled, and wanted to report his matter to the Emperor? How could he back down? Would he be able to keep his head? If it was any other county governor, he wouldn't care about such a threat at all. However, Tang Yin was different, he was the emperor's personal Northern Field General and had the authority to report such an urgent document to His Majesty.
