Possessed by Luffy's fruit, I went crazy in ancient times

Chapter 52 Feeling sorry for money

After Ye Shang took control of the Xiaocheng Ground Guards, Xu Yihuan led people in.

Xiaocheng has come in more than ten times on a rubber rocket launcher, but every time she comes in in the dark in the middle of the night and goes back in the dark again.

The first time she used a rocket launcher to send people in from the mountain, she even toppled the farmer's house in order to land safely.

This caused the farmer to get out of bed in the middle of the night. The farmer thought that there was another war in Xiaocheng, so he ran out in his underwear. Xu Yihuan and two secret guards immediately caught him and tied him up. They were afraid that the farmer would leak the news. After hearing the news, in the past half month, the secret guards have been living directly in the farmer's house and tied him up inside the house.

Therefore, as soon as she entered the city, she went straight to the farmer's house and let him go.

The farmer thought Xu Yihuan was here to kill him, so he was frightened and ran away as soon as he was loosened.

As soon as he ran out, he found that the Jin army had taken over Xiaocheng, and the guards happened to be captured by the Jin army and were being kidnapped and sent outside the city.

"Hey, you are spies of the Jin Army." The farmer suddenly realized and turned to look at Xu Yihuan, who was still wearing the armor that was the symbol of the Jin Army.

Xu Yihuan smiled slightly and nodded, bowed and clasped his fists and said: "Uncle, I have offended you many times before, please forgive me."

The old farmer had never seen such a polite Jin Jun. His face twitched and he said: "It's okay, just fine, just fine." He didn't dare to say anything.

The spy had now come down from the city gate and returned to the old farmhouse.

In these days, dozens of secret guards had eaten up all the grain stored in the old farmer's farm. Seeing Colonel Xu coming, the secret agent hurriedly took out the money and handed it to the old farmer.

"Old man, I'm sorry for holding you captive for more than half a month. You can use the money to sell the grain." The secret guard bowed and clasped his fists, and saluted the old farmer very politely.

The old farmer had been tied up these days and was full of resentment. When he saw that they were all Jin soldiers, he gave him money. The money was enough to buy food for a year. The anger in his heart also disappeared a lot, so he took the money and put it away. He waved his hands and said uncomfortably: "Forget it."

Xu Yihuan saw that the matter had been settled.

Let the secret guard hide himself again and go find Ye Shang by himself.

Xiaocheng had just been conquered, and Ye Shang still had a lot of things to deal with.

The 50,000 captives and the people in the city are facing food problems these days, as well as the prisoners' problems. If Xu Yihuan hadn't cheated the three princes of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, Ye Shang wouldn't have been able to handle it so well.

"The prisoners were ordered to be guarded. Don't let them gather together. Just eat one meal a day for five minutes," Ye Shang said to the deputy general next to him.

He turned around and received the message from the deputy general: "The inventory and bank balances in the county have been counted. Fu Kang's correspondence has been checked, and no traitor has been found yet."

Xu Yihuan came out of the old farmhouse and arrived at the market in Xiaocheng within a short distance.

Not to mention, it was unexpectedly prosperous, and she suddenly understood why the Jin army had been stationed outside Xiaocheng for three or four months and was not in a hurry to attack the city.

It is easy to siege a city but difficult to restore and rebuild.

The Xiaocheng market is prosperous, and the streets and houses have been completely renovated. There are all kinds of mansions of wealthy merchants with carved railings and painted pillars, as well as red bricks and green tiles restaurants and inns. Even a modern person like her couldn't help but sigh when she saw it: How could he really do that? enjoy.

Such a prosperous city, she would not be willing to destroy. As long as these things are well preserved, the wealthy businessmen of Xiaocheng will always find a way to restore Xiaocheng to its original state.

Just thinking like this, I looked around again and again, and soon I arrived at Xiaocheng's mansion.

What faced her was a luxurious and large door. The stone lion at the door looked as big as the three of her.

Ye Shang was discussing something with a stranger at the gate of Xiaocheng.

Vice General Du looked up and saw Xu Yihuan reining in his horse. He smiled, then frowned.

"Xu Xiaowei" Lieutenant General Du stepped forward with a frustrated look on his face, bowed and clasped his fists.

Xu Yihuan didn't take it seriously: "What's the matter? Xiaocheng has been brought back, why are you so embarrassed?" The deputy general paused and sighed: "The attack has been taken, but the cost is also high, nearly 50,000 prisoners. Nearly ten thousand taels of silver are spent every day.”

He carefully calculated that now that the price of food has increased in winter, it will cost a lot of money to feed this group of prisoners. He has ordered people to check the food stored in the Guards Army, but it is basically empty.

No wonder the Guardsmen were so anxious to make a raid the day before yesterday, mostly to save food.

Xu Yihuan pursed her lips: "Don't the guards have any reserves themselves?"

"The guards were besieged for nearly four months. Except for the people in the city who stored food, all the food brought by the guards was intercepted by the prince's troops, so they had no stock."

Lieutenant General Du looked helpless. He did not expect that after attacking the city like this, not many people died, but it would cost them a lot of money.

The most important thing is that the Guardsmen don't even have much money.

Xu Yihuan looked in disbelief: "There is no food in Xiaocheng?"

Vice General Du turned his head and pointed at the person who was talking to Yeshang: "Well, that's it, the former county magistrate of Xiaocheng, who was just released after being imprisoned for four months."

Xu Yihuan raised her eyes and saw that the man looked like he was only in his mid-twenties, with handsome features and two handsome black beards on his lips. He trembled as he spoke.

"Haha, look at me." Xu Yihuan walked up to Xiaocheng Mansion with a smile on her face.

"Liu County Magistrate"

Ye Shang called the other party seriously, but before he could say anything, Xu Yihuan ran up to him and said, "County Magistrate Liu, I have heard about Magistrate Liu for a long time. When I saw him today, he was indeed well-deserved."

Xu Yihuan said minding her own business, then raised her head and met Magistrate Liu's gaze.

Magistrate Liu looked happy and respectfully replied: "General"

Xu Yihuan pursed her lips, swept past Ye Shang's figure, raised her hand and blew away her big hand. In a moment, a rubber fist appeared next to her, and she slammed it in with all her strength.

"Bang" a loud noise.

The lobby of the county government office in Xiaocheng's residence was smashed to pieces by Xu Yihuan's fist.

"Pa" Xu Yihuan retracted her fist and raised her hand to blow the dust off her fist.

He smiled and said: "County Magistrate Liu, as soon as the guards entered Xiaocheng, they destroyed the Xiaocheng County Government Office. The guards were brutal and inhumane. Now the county government office must be renovated. Do you think so?"

Magistrate Liu was still immersed in the destruction of the county government office by Xu Yihuan. When he came back to his senses, he found that Xu Yihuan was still looking at him with a smile, and a cold sweat broke out on his back: "Yes, yes, yes"

Magistrate Liu swallowed and watched helplessly as Xu Yihuan continued to tell lies.

"In this case, Magistrate Liu should also understand our difficulties. The Jin army had been stationed outside the city for four months before they could take Xiaocheng without any effort. The soldiers had not had a meal for several months. Good food”

Xu Yihuan looked at Magistrate Liu with a half-hearted smile.

Magistrate Liu trembled slightly, looked back at Xiaocheng Mansion, opened and closed his mouth and said: "I should be considerate, yes, yes."

Xu Yihuan raised the corners of her mouth, narrowed her eyes and said, "Then please ask Magistrate Liu to do it."

After saying that, she raised her hand in a please gesture.

He shouted: "Lieutenant General, County Magistrate Liu wants to reward the three armies. Follow him to get some silver."

When the deputy general heard this, he swallowed his saliva, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses: "I obey my orders."
