Chapter 162
August thirty.

Not early.

".At the end of the battle, the sharp army of the gods was defeated! Three hundred corpses were discarded, and the rest fled, and it was useless to be captured."

In the government office of Tangzhou, Officer Yula finished reading the battle report he had just received, and needles could be heard in the hall.

The officials looked at each other in blank dismay.

Zuo Guoenyou, a doctor in the Ministry of War, snatched the battle report from Officer Yutui in disbelief, read it word by word, and sat on the chair for a long time without saying a word.

"Lord Zuo, should we go to Tongshan now?" Cao Xiaojian, the eunuch in front of the palace, hesitated.

"Go and fuck!"

They came here to appease Zheng Yi, in order to appease Zheng Yi, it is natural to help him vent his anger, reprimand and punish several Tongshan officials.

This is also the meaning of the princes of the court who hold a peaceful attitude.

But now that the sharp army has been broken up, if they go to punish the Tongshan officials who are narrow and powerful, they will be courting death!

This group of people dare to join hands with Shenrui, can they be any kind of people who are easy to get along with?

"Then what should we do now?" Cao Xiaojian, who was on an errand for the first time, asked in confusion.

After thinking for a while, Zuo Guoen said in a deep voice: "The situation has changed, and we need to play it quickly. As for us, let's stay in Tangzhou first."

This is to wait and see how the situation develops
Youshi dusk.

Zheng Yi, who had only two entourages by his side, ran for hundreds of miles into Caizhou City like a frightened bird.

After entering the city, he immediately ordered the four doors to be closed tightly, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

child time.

To the west of Caizhou City, a red Kongming lantern slowly rises.

'Bang~bang~'

Sesame Lane, Academy Street, the watchman knocked on Zhubang and shouted, "It's safe and sound."

When the watchman walked through the alley, Da Lang, who was standing against the wall in the shadows, waved behind him, and immediately, a group of men in black came out one after another.

As a prefecture, Caizhou is naturally much larger than Tongshan County.

However, because Zheng Yi, the commander of the left-behind division, took away the Shenrui army a few days ago, there were only five hundred old soldiers left in the city.

A white-haired Xiang army guarding the entrance of the west gate was drowsy.
It's the second quarter of the child.

In a pine forest to the west of Caizhou City, Chen Chu saw red lanterns lit up in the night outside the west gate, then he turned around, faced the four or five hundred men in the forest and said, "Taking Caizhou City, I will naturally not treat everyone badly! But if anyone dares to plunder and rape after entering the city, don't blame me for disregarding brotherhood!"

This team has a complex composition, including Qifengling, Luliuxu and others, as well as escapees from Bashan and Jiuzhai, and elites from the Cai, Xu, and Ximen families.

When I was in Tongshan, everyone was related to fellow villagers in the village, and this group of people still had some sense of propriety in doing things.

Now that they came to Caizhou as a guest army, not only did they not have any emotional connection with the local people, but they might even hate their houses and black people because of their relationship with Shen Ruijun.

So Chen Chu had to inoculate them first.

After everyone agreed, Chen Chu got on his horse and said, "Go to the city!"

Even if the Xiang army staying behind in Caizhou was unbearable, it would not be impossible to find such a large-scale team.

When there were still a hundred steps away from the west gate, the defenders at the top of Caizhou City had already noticed something.

But Da Lang and others had already controlled Ximen, and Chen Chu quickly entered the city almost without encountering resistance.

Midnight.

There was a sudden chaos in Caizhou City.

"Tie Dan, you lead people to control the camp of the Xiang army! Uncle Yang and Uncle Yao lead people to control the government office. Da Baojian, you and Brother Liang lead the mob army to patrol the city. Immediately kill! The eldest son, Dalang, and Erhu lead all the ministries, follow me to control the Yamen, and He Bei will lead the way!"

Under the city gate, Chen Chu simply assigned tasks, and everyone scattered and left.

Afterwards, the shouting and killing in the city gradually became louder.

The Duzhi Yamen is a house with a front and a backyard, and five depths inside and outside.

Because all the soldiers were in Tongshan, the official office also did not encounter any resistance, and it went surprisingly smoothly.

Even the process of finding Zheng Yi went smoothly. When Baoxi and Mao Dan found Zheng Yi under the wall of the back house, Zheng Tongzhi, who wanted to escape, got stuck in the dog hole and couldn't move.

It's not that Zheng Yi didn't expect Tongshan to retaliate, but he didn't expect the other party to come so quickly.

Although the Shenrui Army is lost, he still has three armies under his command. Although these three armies are not as obedient as the Shenrui Army he started, but as long as he promises great profits, Zheng Yi may not have the capital to fight to the death.

However, now that he was captured, his only thought was how to survive.

Both control the Yamen lobby.

There is a plaque of "Majestic Barrier" hanging in the middle, below is a large rosewood case, and behind the case is a big chair covered with tiger skin.

Chen Chu walked around the hall with his hands behind his back, then walked to the back of the big case, and sat on the big chair to try it out.

"You really know how to enjoy it." Chen Chu smiled and looked at Zheng Yi who was tied up like a meat dumpling.

"Chen Dutou, if you like it, I will give it to you." Zheng Yi was kneeling, still keeping his upper body upright, trying to maintain some dignity.

"If I like it, I can take it myself, why should you give it to me?" Chen Chu said with a smile.

"Win the king and lose the bandit. How can Chen Dutou let me go?"

"That's what you said, Zheng Tongzhi, if I fall into your hands, will you let me go?" Chen Chu asked with a half-smile.

Zheng Yi hesitated, but sighed, and said, "Chen Dutou, we just had a misunderstanding. It was the Nalangshan county magistrate who misled me into thinking that Chen Dutou and the others had harmed my four brothers. , between you and me is not an indissoluble grudge."

"Hahaha"

When Chen Chu smiled, Da Lang and Liu Erhu also laughed.

You see, when we have the upper hand, even the enemy takes the initiative to clean up for us.

Chen Chu laughed enough, and suddenly said leisurely: "Zheng Tongzhi, there is actually no misunderstanding between us. It is true that I killed your four brothers."

"." Zheng Yi's face suddenly changed.

At this time, he didn't hate, but was afraid. Chen Chu was willing to admit it, which meant that he didn't intend to keep Zheng Yi alive.

Chen Chu slowly got up from the big tiger-skin chair, and explained earnestly as he walked out: "Zheng Tongzhi, don't blame me for harming your family. It's your family's fault first.

It was a mistake to set up a card on the official road and demand heavy taxes for no reason. It was a mistake to cut off my Tongshan source of income.

Later, he instructed the bandits from Yuquan Mountain to attack my Zhuangzi at night, intending to kill my whole family, which was a double mistake. "

Chen Chu passed by Zheng Yi's side, patted the latter's shoulder, and said: "It is said that the family is not as bad as the family. Since your family attacked my family first, you can't blame me for taking the lives of your brothers. You were the first to fight. However, to what extent and when to stop, it is up to you.”

After finishing speaking, Chen Chu walked out of the hall, "Send Zheng Tongzhi on his way."

"No, no, you can't kill me! I am the commander of the left-behind department of Caizhou in Daqi. You can't kill me. You can't kill me. Daqi officials don't harm Daqi officials."

Chen Chu turned to the backyard, and Zheng Yi's shrill cry gradually faded away.

In the backyard, dozens of members of the Luliuwei joint defense team were very busy. Tang Jingan, who was shuttling through the crowd, held a ledger and wrote from time to time.

"Jing An, have the statistics come out?" Chen Chu approached and asked.

"Proprietor." Tang Jing'an hurriedly replied in a low voice with excitement shining in his eyes, "I just did a rough calculation, Zheng Yi's silver cellar has a total of 15 taels of silver in total, and the other copper coins are worthless, and the treasures are still being counted." Book "

Chen Chu frowned when he heard the words, "Then Zheng Yi is only in charge of the capital, how could he have so much property? Jing'an may have miscalculated!"

"Uh"

Tang Jing'an was about to scold Zheng Yi for plundering and drinking blood. It is not uncommon to accumulate such wealth for many years, but seeing his boss's dismayed expression, he suddenly understood something, and hurriedly changed his words: "It's really cute. Wrong, it should be 200 taels"

No, Chen Chu shook his head again, "Let's do the math again"

"Uh, the light was dim just now, so I couldn't see clearly. This time I can see clearly, it's 200 taels."

"Ah."

Chen Chu nodded in satisfaction, and said: "Nowadays, the state affairs are difficult. As the people of Daqi, we must not imitate Zheng Yi's pockets. The confiscated property must be handed over to the imperial court."

"Yes! You are all proud, Jing An admires you!" Tang Jing'an bowed again and again 'moved'.

"Hey~" Chen Chu waved his hands and said carelessly, "Although I am a petty official, I know how to obey the law. By the way, you just said that there are copper coins and rare objects in the silver cellar?"

"Er, did the proprietor hear it wrong? There is nothing in the silver cellar except the 200 taels of silver registered in the register."

Tang Jing'an said seriously.

"Hehe, I got it. By the way, you can go to Langshan Yinmazhuang to take stock of Zheng's old house at dawn."

With so many brothers following him to chase Baili tonight, it's hard to let people make a trip in vain.

Family members, Brother Chu is doing you a favor.

"Yes."

Tang Jing'an responded, and said in a low voice: "Proprietor, just copied out...er, and picked up a lot of house deeds."

"Oh? Come on."

"Caizhou City alone has thirteen large and small shops. In addition, there is a set of private houses in the city with six entrances, front and back, two courtyards with three entrances, and two courtyards with two entrances."

"Fuck, can he live in so many houses!"

"Uh..." Tang Jing'an glanced at Chen Chu, and said in a low voice, "We captured Zheng Yi's housekeeper. According to him, except for the six-entry mansion, the rest of the houses were used by Zheng Yi to keep the outer rooms. Proprietor , do you want to go and have a look?"

What are you looking at?

Of course, in the middle of the night, it's not to go to see the house, to see what's wrong with it?See heresy?

Chen Chu thought for a while, but said: "Give them some money tomorrow and send them away."

"The proprietor cleans himself up, it's really admirable!" Tang Jing'an, who was full of admiration, bowed again.

"Jing An, why didn't I realize you were a sycophant before?"

"Hey, I'm telling the truth!"

"Ha ha."

Chen Chu was a little out of touch with Zheng Yi as a fellow.

Besides, there are still three little mouths waiting to be fed at home.

It's not good to be a slave with three surnames
The first day of September.

Autumn is deep, and it is already eight minutes cold in the morning and evening.

At the end of Mao.

The people of Caizhou, who had been trembling all night, looked out through the crack of the door for a long time.

At midnight last night, there was a sudden sound of killing in the city, and the sound of iron blades clashing did not stop until Choushi.

Although it is not clear what exactly happened, the common people do not lack the consciousness of 'a catastrophe is imminent'.

'Military Disaster' is a more ferocious disaster than 'Water and Fire'.

It is not uncommon for the whole family to be slaughtered, ranging from being robbed of all their property, to having their wives and daughters prostituted.

But the turmoil in the city only lasted for about an hour, and it calmed down again in the middle of the night.

It was confusing for a while.

When the sky was dim, a daring resident finally opened the door and walked out.

But saw a scene that will never be forgotten.

In the city filled with mist, a group of sergeants who did not know where they came from were sleeping in a row along the street.

In the strong sense of autumn, everyone shrank their bodies and folded their arms coldly, and no one disturbed the people staying overnight
This is the first encounter between the people of Caizhou and the 'Chen Jiajun'.

"Yishi" has also become the first impression of most Caizhou people on Chen Jiajun.

Of course, Zheng Yi has a different opinion on this.
