Chapter 53 Bottom of the Pot
"Your name is Yuan Qiuming?"
Wang Zhongguan looked at the woman in front of him with a strange expression for a while, and suddenly he made a secret test: "Qiu Ming, hey, why do you think our family is illiterate?"
Yuan Qiuming showed a faint mockery: "This is not important. What matters is Ying Yi."
"What's wrong with Brother Ying?" Wang Zhongguan sneered: "You are a woman of unknown origin, and you dare to say that Brother Ying is not right in front of our family? Do you think our Dongchang method is not smart enough?"
"Everyone knows the evil celebrities of the East Factory." Yuan Qiuming said this, but his expression was not concerned, and said, "But no matter how fierce the East Factory is, it may not work now." She sneered, "The two million taels of silver you have transported with great difficulty have now fallen into Ying Yi's pocket. Zheng Yunzhi worked hard to suppress the thieves, but you may not be able to see the current situation. Ying Yi is ambitious, but you are all in his trap. Once he is unhappy one day, he will take up the butcher knife, hehe... what will happen?"
Wang Zhongguan's expression changed and he shook his sleeves and said, "Dare you dare to mess with our family and fool our family? Hu Miao, kill her!"
Hu Miao, who was standing aside, hesitated for a moment, pulled out the Xiuchun sword, and slowly stepped forward. The sword light shone, illuminating his hesitation and Yuan Qiuming's sneer.
With the Xiuchun Sword in hand, Yuan Qiuming seemed not afraid at all, and his sneer even more. Seeing that the blade was about to slash on his neck, Wang Zhongguan spoke: "Stop."
Hu Miao hurriedly removed the Xiuchun Knife and breathed a long sigh.
"So, what do you want to do when you come to our house?" Wang Zhongguan looked gloomy.
Yuan Qiuming took the sneer and suddenly became solemn: "Ying Yi's wolf's ambition is obvious, he will put Zheng Yunzhi under house arrest, deceive you, thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, and millions of silver are hidden in his arms. When he trains the army, what do you think he will do? Isn't it another thief?"
"Speaking alarmist." Wang Zhongguan said, "Who is Brother Ying? Our family knows better than you."
Yuan Qiuming didn't care: "Whether he will be the next thief for now. But is he jeopardized by embezzlement of military pay, placed house arrest on county officials, and blinded you, a middle-aged official?!"
Wang Zhongguan suddenly became silent.
After a long time, facing Yuan Qiuming's sharp eyes, he slowly said, "What should we do in your opinion?"
"It's time to remove the firewood from the cauldron!" Yuan Qiuming said without hesitation: "How many soldiers and horses did Ying Yi leave here?"
"One hundred households." Hu Miao said hurriedly.
"That's easy." Yuan Qiuming said: "There are fifty good men under the Central Officer. As long as the plan is right, he will catch him off guard, destroy the troops he left here, and then rescue Zheng Yunzhi. With Zheng Yunzhi's prestige and shouting, who else will listen to him Ying Yi? Then recruit young and strong men and reorganize the troops. When Ying Yi reacts, what else can he do? His troops are recruited in this valley, and his family and relatives are here. As long as he moves them with emotion and reason, no one will dare to move them. At that time, Ying Yi is just a lonely wolf, what else can he be afraid of?!"
Hu Miao couldn't help but turn his eyes to Wang Zhongguan.
Wang Zhongguan's face was gloomy at this time, but he said, "Ying Yi has the courage to be unworthy of thousands of men. You may not be easy to use when you remove the firewood from the cauldron."
Yuan Qiuming sneered: "You are just afraid of death. You are afraid that he will lose to others and will directly take your life."
Wang Zhongguan was angry and embarrassed when he heard this: "So what? Our family is only one life, no more than you, a crazy woman. Why are our family afraid of death?"
Yuan Qiuming said: "How difficult is to save your life? Ying Yi's surviving fellow villagers in Xiao Wangzhuang, Sun Xiucai, and Lian Biao are all bargaining chips? What's more, Zheng Yunzhi is kind to Ying Yi. If you seek Zheng Yunzhi's protection, Ying Yi may not dare to take action."
Hu Miao then said, "Dadfather, I think this woman is right. This time, she was ordered by the saint to escort the military pay, but she must not fall into the hands of Ying Yi..." He said, blinking at Wang Zhongguan.
Wang Zhongguan was slightly stunned, his eyes flashed, and he said, "You woman go down first, I have to discuss it for a while."
Yuan Qiuming's goal had been achieved. She could see that the eunuch was already moved and couldn't help but laugh silently and slowly retreated.
In the cave, after Yuan Qiuming left, Hu Miao couldn't wait to say, "Dadfather-in-law, that's two million taels of silver!"
Wang Zhongguan showed a look of greed, but was a little confused: "But it's military pay!"
"So what about military pay?" Hu Miao showed a ruthless look: "Now the Ming Dynasty is about to overthrow. Daddy, can't you see it?"
"Stop talking!" Wang Zhongguan looked shocked: "How dare you say such a ruthless word?"
"Father-in-law!" Hu Miao gritted his teeth and said, "This is two million taels! As long as you take these two million taels, you and I will add five in two or one, and then hide your identity and find a place to live the second half of your life. Wouldn't it be 10,000 times better than now?!"
Wang Zhongguan was silent.
After a long time, he whispered: "You are right." It seemed like a dream: "Two million taels!"
Hu Miao was overjoyed, nodded repeatedly, and looked at Wang Zhongguan, and a trace of sharp light flashed across his eyes.
Then he said, "It's just right to strike while the iron is hot, father-in-law, go to see Zheng Yunzhi first. Without him, it would be difficult to accomplish anything."
Wang Zhongguan had made up his mind and no longer hesitated. He stood up and walked out.
At this moment, the curtain at the entrance of the cave was lifted and messy steps stepped into the cave. Wang Zhongguan's expression changed, he took a few steps and retreated behind Hu Miao. Hu Miao hurriedly pulled out the embroidered spring sword. Then he saw Lian Biao and seven or eight people strode in.
At the same time, Yuan Qiuming and Yuan Tong were both bound like cocoons and pushed down by Lian Biao in front of Wang Zhongguan and the others.
“Bold!”
Wang Zhongguan was both stern: "Lian Biao, how dare you offend our family?!"
Lian Biao sneered: "You eunuch, really vicious! My lord is sorry for you. How dare you plot so viciously? If the scholar hadn't noticed it, he would have really wanted your way!"
As he spoke, he used Park's sword to approach: "Hu Miao, put down his weapons and surrender. Otherwise, he would kill him with a random knife!"
Hu Miao looked disgusted and shouted, "Dare you touch me?! I have fifty more..."
"Hehe..." Lian Biao laughed: "You said the scholar was not prepared?! The scholar had been monitored by your fifty Dongchang men. Now he is a prisoner!"
Hu Miao suddenly felt like a deflated ball, and the embroidered spring knife in his hand fell to the ground with a clang, lowering his head.
"Tiened!"
Lian Biao waved his hand, and the soldiers rushed up like wolves and tigers, pressing Hu Miao and Wang Zhongguan to the ground, and tied them up for a moment.
"If I hadn't known the Lord's intention, I'd cut you two into meat paste here!"
Lian Biao groaned and said to the soldiers: "Save two people here to watch, and the others follow me."
He immediately took people out of the cave and gradually moved away.
In the cave, Wang Zhongguan was extremely shocked and ignored the two guards, and cursed at Yuan Qiuming: "You dare to harm our family. You must die well, and you will be cut into pieces!"
