Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

This arrogance, this arrogance, is absolutely worthy of his fame as a second-class leader, and absolutely worthy of his status as a senior official who is already a fifth-rank governor in his early thirties.

Compared with that day, today's Zhao Feixuan seemed to have fallen directly from the sky to the ground, splashing the dust all over the place.

The difference between heaven and earth is just like this!

……

But Guo Ye didn't despise Zhao Feixuan's current attitude, his heart really shines like a mirror.This guy can be a wife and mother, and millions of disaster victims lower their figures so much. It can be seen that he is not only a good husband, a good son, but also a genuine, down-to-earth, good official who is willing to work for the well-being of the people.

Just for this, Guo Ye has to help him without hesitation.

Immediately, he held up Zhao Feixuan's long bow and said, "Inspector Zhao, there is no need for such a big gift. Guo said that you are not the only good official in the world. Since you want Guo to lend a helping hand, you must be honest and honest." answer my question."

Zhao Feixuan naturally agreed, and promised: "Master Guo, just ask, I know everything, and I can say everything."

Guo Ye gave a good compliment, and took the lead to ask: "Inspector Zhao, may I ask where the 150 million disaster relief money is stored now?"

Zhao Feixuan pondered for a while, then replied: "Because of the imperial court's decree, the disaster relief money will be placed in Ruzhou, and the three of us will coordinate and supervise each other. Therefore, the disaster relief money has not been removed, and the time is too hasty. Dai Mingde , Zhang Shiyuan and others couldn't transfer it in a short time, so they stored it in Ruzhou City."

Guo Ye asked: "Ruzhou City is so big, the specific location of Tibetan Bank, presumably Governor Zhao should be clear about it?"

Zhao Feixuan did not hide anything, and said bluntly: "It is stored in the granary in the east of Ruzhou City. There are dozens of granaries connected to that place. There are no people around the granary. It is very hidden, and ordinary people can't detect it at all."

The silver was hidden in the granary, Guo Ye thought, this is indeed a place that is not easy to find.

Moreover, if De Mingde sent heavy troops to protect the granary, ordinary people would think that the heavy troops were just to protect the grain from being looted by the disaster victims even if they found out.

Then, he asked: "The location of the granary and how many troops are there to protect it should be clear to Inspector Zhao, right?"

In his opinion, since Zhao Feixuan had already planned to cooperate with Gu San to kill officials and steal money, he should have a good understanding of the deployment of troops near the granary.

Sure enough, Zhao Feixuan smiled wryly and said: "Guo Yushi sees it clearly. Now Dai Mingde has arranged [-] soldiers from Ruzhou to the Duwei's Mansion around the granary. Moreover, Zhengzhou Governor Zhang Shiyuan also came from Zhengzhou Zhechong Duwei's mansion dispatched [-] soldiers to reinforce Ruzhou. Including the [-] soldiers from Anzhou, they have obeyed Dai Mingde's order to defend the granary in Ruzhou. Calculated in this way, there are almost [-] soldiers in the granary. Surroundings, it can be said that there are layers of checks and strict defenses!"

Guo Ye said with a bit of a smile: "Inspector Zhao, don't pretend. Although the [-] soldiers from Anzhou were transferred to Ruzhou, they still listened to you, right? Otherwise, how could you rely on the help of the Yellow River Gang? How dare you kill officials and steal money from a thousand-hundred-hundred-hundred-thousand reckless people? After all, the number of government soldiers who really obey Dai Mingde and Zhang Shiyuan is at most two thousand and two, right?"

"Uh……"

Guo Ye saw through Zhao Feixuan's little thought on the spot, and was very embarrassed, so he could only smile wryly again and again to cover up his clumsy plan.

Then he sighed: "Oh, no matter what you do, you can't lie to Guo Yushi. Your analysis is impeccable, I admire you!"

Guo Ye saw Zhao Feixuan admitting it personally, and the plan he had in mind became clearer.

So he asked: "Inspector Zhao, Captain Zhechong of Anzhou and Captain Zhechong of Ruzhou have joined forces with Dai Mingde and others, and only Dai Mingde obeyed? Can the soldiers of these two states be used by us? "

Zhao Feixuan said: "Naturally, the government soldiers are the government soldiers of the imperial court and the Tang Dynasty. There is no doubt about this. However, Gao Chonghai, the captain of Zhechong in Anzhou, is Zhang Shiyuan's wife and brother; Dai Yuanshan, the captain of Zhechong in Ruzhou, is Dai Mingde's cousin, these two have already worn the same pair of pants as Dai Mingde and others, and their roots are already rotten, if you want to be used by Guo Yushi, hehe, it's harder than going to heaven!"

Guo Ye let out a groan, expressing his understanding.

Then he comforted Zhao Feixuan and said: "There is nothing to be afraid of. Governor Zhao, if you don't use the strategy of killing officials and stealing money, can Gu San and his Yellow River Gang still be of use to you?"

After Zhao Feixuan heard this, he nodded firmly and replied: "The Gu Yishi once said that as long as the disaster relief money can be used to help the victims, their Yellow River Gang will definitely serve them to the death. Even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire, I will follow my lead!"

"it is good!"

Guo Ye clapped his hands and praised, and praised: "This Gu San is indeed worthy of the name of a righteous man. Can I meet Gu San once? I must grant the opportunity in person before I can act."

Zhao Feixuan had no other distractions, nor did he hide any evil, he responded frankly and said: "Five days later at noon, Gu San will come to my house again, and Guo Yushi can meet him at that time."

Guo Ye's heart is at ease, and the more than 1000 members of Gu San and the Yellow River Gang are also an important link in his plan.

Now hearing Zhao Feixuan's promise, he is naturally more determined.

Finally, he brought up the question he was most concerned about, and said, "Lord Zhao, this censor came from Fenglingdu and saw that the road outside Ruzhou City was full of hungry people, and there must be a dead body every ten steps. Why did you enter?" After entering Ruzhou City, what is the situation? This censor also knows that this must be an illusion created by Dai Mingde, but I am curious, what about the disaster victims in Ruzhou City?"

"Ha ha……"

Zhao Feixuan sneered and said: "Of course he can't let Guo Yushi see the real tragedy of Ruzhou City. The reason why there are no victims in the city is because he drove them out of Ruzhou City and left them to fend for themselves. Therefore, the entire city of Ruzhou still has that peaceful scene."

"Drive the victims out of the city and let them fend for themselves?"

Guo Yehu questioned: "Those victims would rather starve to death outside the city, wouldn't they rush into the city by force?"

Zhao Feixuan cursed shamelessly: "They are all hungry, dizzy, and unarmed disaster victims. How dare they rush into Ruzhou City by force? Mr. Guo may have never been to the north gate of Ruzhou, and the victims were driven away. Apart from the north gate, there is no other way to enter Ruzhou from the north gate. Does Mr. Guo know who are guarding the north gate tower of Ruzhou?"

Guo Ye shook his head and said he didn't know, because he had never been to the North Gate.

Zhao Feixuan cleared up his doubts and said: "The guards on the tower of the North City are all private soldiers supported by Dai Mingde and Zhang Shiyuan with money. They serve as slaves in the master's house on weekdays, but they can draw bows and strings in wartime. This private soldier There are about a thousand people. Dai Mingde equipped this private soldier with all the bows and arrows in the Ruzhou Armory. Moreover, he ordered..."

"What order?"

"He once ordered that anyone who dares to forcibly break into the North Gate will have no eyes and will be killed without mercy!!!"

Zhao Feixuan read Dai Mingde's killing order word by word, and said with a cold breath: "Master Guo, if you were a disaster victim, would you dare? At least outside the city, they can still live by pulling the bark for a few days. If If you rush into the door rashly, hehe, you will be killed on the spot."

"Stop his grandma." Guo Ye scolded Dai Mingde severely, then got up and assured Zhao Feixuan, "Inspector Zhao, don't worry, if I can't handle Dai, you will take my head off and use it as a urinal!"

Zhao Feixuan felt it was funny when he heard Guo Ye, a majestic imperial envoy and censor, utter such rough words, but he dared to say it repeatedly.Who let Guo Ye still bear the title of imperial envoy? Although he is young, he should be respected.

Guo Ye's question was almost finished, what he needed to know was basically clear, and the plan in Guo Ye's mind became clearer and clearer.

Next, he only needs to get rid of Zhao Feixuan's worries, and then he can start to act according to the plan.

Zhao Feixuan's worries about the future naturally refer to his family and mother. As a prerequisite for the cooperation between Zhao Feixuan and Guo Ye, Guo Ye must first rescue Zhao Feixuan's mother, wife and daughter.

Otherwise, not only will they lose their trust, but they will also not get the real support of Zhao Feixuan, including the power of Gu San and the Yellow River Gang who trust Zhao Feixuan so much.

Therefore, to start implementing the plan, the first thing is to fulfill his promise to Zhao Feixuan, rescue his wife, daughter and old mother, and remove his worries.

Immediately, he cupped his hands and bid farewell to Zhao Feixuan: "Inspector Zhao, wait for news from me at home, and I will come to your home again at noon five days later."

Zhao Feixuan nodded, expressing his understanding.

Just as Guo Ye was about to leave, he stopped suddenly and said, "By the way, since Zhenniang is your wife and sister, let her stay at your house temporarily for a few days. For now, here, At least it's much safer than mine."

Zhao Feixuan replied: "Guo Yushi don't worry, Wanzhen has my brother-in-law to take care of her, and she will never be wronged in the slightest."

Guo Ye groaned, and walked away without any delay.

Looking at Guo Ye's leaving figure, Zhao Feixuan praised in his heart, he is really a decisive and quick-witted young man, he will ask sister Wanzhen later, what is the origin of this Guo Yushi.

……

As soon as Guo Ye came out of Zhao Feixuan's house, it was already pitch black, and the only thing that was quiet outside the house was the chirping of frogs and insects.

But when he came down the stairs, he found that Zhao Jiuchou was already waiting outside the gate, riding a horse alone, with a knife on his shoulder, silently waiting for Guo Ye outside the gate.

Seeing this, Guo Ye immediately greeted him, "Why are you here? Is there any clue to what I told you earlier?"
