Riding the Pheonix Chapter 354: First conferment

In the Juyi Hall, Young Master Yang's lazy voice came over: "What can you do if you catch me? If you dare to kill me, Liang Zhang and Zong Xu will turn around and lead their troops over to level the mountain. No. If you want to kill, how many blows will you take to vent your anger? If I can get out alive, I can level this mountain just like I did when I turned around."

The thief leader sneered: "According to what you say, it is of no use at all?"

Yang Shu said casually: "Didn't I tell you? If you don't dare to kill me, just exchange it for money. How can a jewel like this young master be compared with rubble like you? Seeing how you behave today, you should be treated as a slave. Have a kind heart!"

"..."

I didn’t think much about it when I caught it, but now that I’ve caught it, it seems like this is really what happened!

If they were killed, they would have no choice but to leave Yanshan and flee for their lives. Originally, these people gathered in Yanshan, but they couldn't survive and escaped. If they still wanted to escape, where could they escape?

If I don’t kill him, will I let him live in vain? I heard that this young master was a noble person in the capital. Seeing him casually mention the names of Liang Zhang and Zong Xu, he didn't take these two leaders of the Northwest Army seriously at all. If they dare to stay, the Northwest Army will come to search the mountain.

This is a **** hot potato!

The bandits are in a dilemma. What were they thinking before? Because the cottages were being pulled out one by one, I was worried that I would have no way to survive, and at the same time I was angry that Young Master Yang would not give him a way to survive, so I went to the trouble of arresting him.

What to do after being caught? I didn’t think much about it...

It sounds like exchanging money is the only way?

"Don't hurt the young master!" the maid shouted, "We have plenty of money! Just ask us the price!"

The leader of the thieves asked tentatively: "Money? How much can you offer?"

The maid did not hesitate: "Fifty thousand taels, is that enough? Not enough for one million!"

The sound of gasping could be heard in the Juyi Hall.

One million taels? So valuable? I heard that the military expenditure of the Northwest Army is only this amount per year!

The noble young master from the capital is extraordinary!

If they had one million taels, what kind of bandits would they be? Hundreds of people share one point, and each person has seven or eight thousand taels, which is enough to find a small place and become a rich man.

"Can you really collect one million taels?" The thief leader was doubtful.

Ah Wan looked at them with disdain: "What's so big about one million taels? Who is our young master? Just say it and it will be delivered immediately. The treasure number in the capital only recognizes banknotes but not people. He is absolutely innocent. !"

"Brother," someone wavered, "otherwise, let's..."

"Yes! We can't stay here in Yanshan anyway. If we stay here any longer, we will lose our lives."

"It's okay to change places, but where can I go if I have money?"

You said something to me, these bandits were originally composed of the remaining people from each village, and after a while, they could no longer be suppressed.

The leader of the thieves could only obey, and he was also moved: "Okay! You write a letter immediately, one million taels, and at least one hundred thousand taels in cash! We will let you go after checking the silver and bills!" ”

Yang Shu said: "One hundred thousand taels of cash is too much. It's not easy to transport it in. Moreover, in a poor place like Gaotang, we can't get together one hundred and twenty thousand taels of cash at once. I'll give you 50,000 taels of silver at most, and the rest Banknote. I don’t want to stay here!"

The thief thought so, so he agreed. Then he asked someone to bring in pen and ink, asked Yang Shu to write a note, and then ordered his subordinates to go down the mountain to deliver the letter.

One million taels, one million taels! While waiting, these bandits seemed to be under a spell, chanting this number and imagining the good life they would have after getting the money.

While thinking about it, there was movement outside.

"Reply so quickly? Go and have a look!"

However, they were to be disappointed. The men sent out to deliver the message were **** and thrown on their horses, and a large number of soldiers rushed in.

These bandits are difficult to exterminate because their whereabouts are difficult to trace. Now that someone has made dumplings out of them, how can they be the opponents of serious officers and soldiers? Especially the generals of the Yang family are extremely fierce.

"Hostage! Where are the hostages?" the leader of the thieves shouted.

He rushed into the hall, wanted to take Yang Shu out as a hostage, and ordered the officers and soldiers to stop.

But before he could catch anyone, he heard a "clang" in his ear, a sharp sound that penetrated his eardrums.

Just when I was about to reach out and cover my ears, I heard several more "clanging" sounds, and my head suddenly flew up, blood spraying out.

He stretched out his hand to touch it, but only touched a hand of blood.

Ning Xiu drew out his dagger, cut the net open, and let Yang Shu and Ah Wan out.

"Thank you, senior brother." Yang Shu stretched his muscles and took the sword from A Xuan.

Ning Xiu gave him a cold look: "Don't ask me to do this kind of work next time."

Looking at his clothes with several holes in them, Yang Shu smiled: "Yes, yes, it's my fault that my senior brother has lost all his grace."

He swaggered and sat on the tiger-head chair in the Juyi Hall. Not long after, the sound of killing stopped, and Ah Xuan came in and reported: "Sir, the thief has been beheaded."

Of the two hundred bandits, half were killed and the remaining half surrendered.

……

When Feng Yi arrived at the racecourse, he was laughing and celebrating.

When Yang Shu saw him, the first thing he said was: "Congratulations, Mr. Feng, all the Yanshan bandits have been killed. I will be promoted soon after the next evaluation."

Feng Yi was surprised and happy, and his voice could not help but be a little awe-inspiring: "Young Master Yang..."

Yang Shu waved his hand and took him into his study.

Feng Yi was respectful and even a little proud. ~IndoMTL.com~ Not everyone can enter Young Master Yang’s study. I heard that last time General Liang sent someone to come, they only had a cup of tea in the hall. Young Master Yang regarded him as a confidant!

When the two sat down, Yang Shu's first words were: "Master Feng, do you want to be promoted?"

Feng Yi was stunned and asked cautiously: "What do you mean by this, Master?"

Yang Shu said: "This achievement is confirmed. You can be transferred wherever you want. With good luck, you might even be able to take up an important position in Beijing."

Feng Yi nodded: "This is all the result of the young master."

Yang Shu smiled and waved his hand: "Anyway, we agreed at the beginning that the credit should be attributed to Mr. Feng, and it belongs to Mr. Feng."

Feng Yi smiled dryly and bowed his hand to him: "No matter what, I will always remember the young master's great kindness and kindness."

"So, Mr. Feng is going to the capital?"

Going to the capital has always been Feng Yi's goal, but now he has a different idea: "Young master asks, is there a better choice? I am all ears."

Yang Shu said with satisfaction: "If Master Feng is transferred, a new magistrate will come to Gaotang, which will be a big inconvenience to me. After all, Master Feng and I have cooperated happily, right?"

Feng Yi understood: "Do you want me to stay and assist you?"

Yang Shu said: "You can make your own choice. If you stay, you can only continue to be a county magistrate. Your official career will be delayed for a few years."

Feng Yi thought about it. Although Mr. Yang didn't say it, the benefits were obvious. If this is the case, he will become Young Master Yang’s true confidant, and Young Master Yang will return to Beijing in the future...

"Sir, please give me more advice in the future!"

Feng Yi said this without thinking much.

Yang Shu laughed softly.
