Chapter 31 The heavily guarded Zhou Family Manor
"Cen Yuying!"
This little boy is very clever. Yang Meng recently discovered that no matter where he shouts, Cen Yuying will immediately appear in front of him.
"Third Master!"
Sure enough, as soon as the topic fell, the kid appeared.
"Just I just talked about Zhou Shiqing of Yiliang with Miss Tang. Let me tell you, who is Zhou Shiqing?"
After listening to Zhou Shiqing's story, Yang Meng was very angry, very angry. Everyone is from the same country, why do you want to be so vicious and make money? You have thousands of hectares of fertile land, and the mountains and forests are full of opium. Do you have money? Play with women? With this power, there are not many women who cannot play with them.
What Yang Meng didn't understand the most was that it would be fine if he had land and money, but he didn't do some good things. Zhou Shiqing did bad things and bad things to the extreme. What benefits would this do to him?
"Yiliang Zhou Shiqing! Bad guy! Wicked guy! Damn guy!"
For the first time, Cen Yuying showed his anger. In the past, this little boy looked tepid, what happened today?
"Oh! He has a pretty temper. Tell me how bad he is? How evil? Why should he die?"
Look at this, Cen Yuying and Zhou Shiqing still have personal grudges?
"It covers a thousand hectares of land, and is not kind to be bad! It is torture and kill slaves and trafficking people is to be evil! The accumulation of the two is to deserve death!"
When he said this, Cen Yuying's small waist was straight and straight, and there was a sense of righteousness between her opening.
"You have a personal grudge with him?"
"No!"
"Then why do you hate this Yiliang gentry?"
“My ethics!”
"What do you think if the third master kills the old boy?"
"Eliminate the harm for the people!"
"If you kill Zhou Shiqing, how should you explain it in Yiliang County?"
“…”
After a while, Cen Yuying finally had nothing to say. Killing Zhou Shiqing and Yiliang would inevitably cause shock to the whole county. If this matter is not done well, it will alarm Yunnan Prefecture and the Yunnan-Guizhou Governor's Office.
Just saying that it is impossible to kill Zhou Shiqing if he eliminates harm to the people.
"Think about it carefully, what can I do to kill Zhou Shiqing and leave the court with nothing to say."
Looking at Cen Yuying who was speechless, Yang Meng said slowly. Now is the time to see this kid's real ability.
"For human trafficking, as long as you get evidence, you can kill him!"
Cen Yuying searched for the Qing Dynasty in her heart and finally came up with an idea.
"Yiliang, who is in the same group as Zhou Shiqing?
Yang Meng did not comment on Cen Yuying's idea, but asked about something else.
"Yiliang Dianshi is closest to Zhou Shiqing, and many clerks and servants are also Zhou Shiqing's lackeys."
Cen Yuying is still very clear about Yiliang's situation. The place where he studied is Yiliang and the place where he experienced is Yiliang. If he hadn't met Yang Meng, he might have returned to Guangxi now and was preparing to take the children's examination.
"What does Yiliang Dianshi mainly care about?"
"The responsibilities of prisons are all in the history of the law."
"Then you have collected evidence, can you surpass the Yiliang Dianshi?"
"If you go beyond the level, you can go beyond Yiliang County, no matter how much you are, you can go past Yiliang County."
It seems that Cen Yuying is still very stupid and naive at the age of being sued, and it may not be possible if it is sued.
"First catch Zhou Shiqing, force him to make a contract, occupy his land, then slaughter him, and then frame the traffickers and let them rebel, let the traffickers take Zhou Shiqing's crimes and hand over the case to Yiliang County. They will solve the case and get promoted, and we will make a fortune. Do you think this is?"
After exploring Cen Yuying's bottom, Yang Meng was no longer interested, so he told him about his plan.
After listening to Yang Meng's plan, the expression on Cen Yuying's face was constantly changing, which was a little beyond his cognition.
"Can you please give me some good words!"
"It's feasible! Zhou Shiqing's property fell into the hands of the Third Master, which is more effective than in his hands. At least the old man of the Yang family provides relief to the hungry people every year."
"Then you go to the Zhou family to reconnaise the terrain."
“Scout the terrain?”
"Yes! It's just to reconnaissance the terrain, find a way to visit Zhou Shiqing, and then write down the terrain of the Zhou family manor and the number of guards guarding the courtyard one by one. We can take action against the Zhou family and be rewarded if we do this third master! I can't say that I can still kill a few scums!"
Yang Meng is dragging Cen Yuying into the water. This kid is good, but it is difficult to control. He will first stop his way of becoming an official and then take care of him slowly.
"good!"
Cen Yuying was also young and energetic, so she agreed directly. If she could come back alive from the Zhou family this time, he would be considered a talent.
"You go and prepare! If you need money, go to Uncle Ding to collect it."
After swinging Cen Yuying back, Yang Meng walked behind Tang Youyou, leaned in her ear, and said slowly:
"The third master has done his job, Mei Yi, what should you do?"
The chin on his shoulders was full of masculine smell and the numb and itchy feeling in his ears made Tang Meiyi unable to sit still.
"Third Master... Mei Yi will do whatever his third master says!"
In the end, Tang Meiyi couldn't resist it and ran away with a pretty face like a red cloth. Such a beauty is really harmful to run!
"The world is in my destiny!"
Smelling the smell of flesh on his nose, Yang Meng remembered a lyrics and sighed in spring.
There was nothing wrong all night, and the next morning, Cen Yuying knocked on Yang Meng's courtyard gate.
"San Master, the matter is done!"
Judging from this attitude, Cen Yuying has not slept all night, and has done the matter in the past half afternoon and one night. This little boy is good.
"Tell me!"
In Yang Meng's opinion, this is a good thing. The more capable Cen Yuying is, the more useful it is to him. When he is defeated by Zhou's manor, he must let this little boy have a few lives on his hands, which makes him desperate and has fewer choices.
Cen Yuying did a very good job. He explained in detail how to patrol and how to change defenses in Zhoujia Manor, how to inspect and how to change defenses.
"How did you do it?"
Now Yang Meng was surprised. He had never received reconnaissance training. Cen Yuying could do things so well and be considered a reconnaissance genius.
"Zhou Shiqing said to me personally and took me to see these places one by one. I spent a few pieces of Yingyang and asked Yiliang's clerk to falsely spread the news. He said that the governor of Yunnan, Mr. He, wanted to see the layout of the Zhou family manor, and go back to his hometown to build a house to spend his old age. I am Lord He's servant. Zhou Shiqing was so polite, so he gave me ten taels of silver before leaving, saying that he would let me say a few more beautiful words in front of the governor."
Without Yang Meng asking, Cen Yuying told him what happened. This time he was also open to his horizons. The Zhou family manor is well-known!
"Not bad! I'll go to Uncle Ding's place later and collect a hundred Yingyangs. I'll let you do a lot in the future to prepare for emergencies. Also, draw the layout of the Zhou family manor for me, and we need to train our troops."
The Zhou family manor’s escort method is not simple. Zhou Shiqing is worthy of being an officer. There are almost no loopholes in the defense of this house. In Yang Meng’s opinion, it is a bit magical. Now it is the Qing Dynasty! Are the security measures so strict?
"The sketch Zhou Shiqing has already made someone painted it, right in my arms."
Yibaiying Yang Cen Yuying did not refuse. After taking out the layout of the Zhou family manor from his arms, he stood beside Yang Meng and kept explaining the structure of the Zhou family manor to Yang Meng.
In order to curry favor with the Governor, Zhou Shiqing also took out real things. In addition to the black manor outline, he also used various colors of paint to mark the location of the guard patrol patrol inspection and how to change the defense.
These things are all marked one by one next to the drawings. Although the characters are small, Yang Meng also read them roughly. Originally, Yang Meng was able to read them, but he was somewhat sceptical about the traditional Chinese characters here and didn't know them very well.
The Zhou family's guard house has a large number of people, with more than 100 people. This is a bit too much for a landlord manor. Yang's Wuzhuang is still known as a Kunming gang training, so there are only seven or eight hundred people. Of course, the sword hands that go out with the horse gang are not counted, and the sword hands that guard tea mountains in various places cannot count.
What made Yang Meng most worried was what Cen Yuying mentioned about bird guns, such as lifting guns and tiger squat cannons. The bird guns are okay, but it will be troublesome to lifting guns and tiger squat cannons.
Zhou Shiqing told Cen Yuying in detail these two weapons. Zhou Daquan is worthy of being a military leader, and these two weapons are filled with small lead.
After Cen Yuying's explanation, Yang Meng was also shocked. The guns raised and tiger squatted cannons were shotguns! Looking at their locations, they were all marked in the open position in the manor. If they didn't know about it, they would go to the Zhou family manor stupidly. Even if they could be shot, they would definitely be killed or injured.
"San Master, there is another thing. The Zhou family's patriarch guards are trained according to the Green Camp's methods. Like the Third Master's subordinates, they keep practicing every day when they have free time. When they get to the Green Camp, they are definitely elite soldiers among the elite soldiers. This is also what Zhou Shiqing said in person."
After Cen Yuying finished speaking, Yang Meng fell into silence. He thought that Zhou Daquan was just a rich man, but he never thought that he was a tiger among the rich man. He was more than 100 elite regular soldiers of the Qing court. If he met these sword hands, he would probably not get any benefits. To be honest, if his sword hands really attacked the Zhou family manor, the chance of failure was 80% or 90%.
Looking at the layout of the Zhou family manor, Yang Meng fell into deep thought. Cen Yuying also had a very wink and stood quietly aside without making any sound.
The Zhoujia Manor is very defensive at night. The walls and gates of each courtyard are like the Yangjiawu Village, and have extremely high defense. Night attacks will only alert the snakes and will not play any role.
When the attack was launched during the day, the Zhou family's guns were fired, and if Yiliang County heard the news, even if he spent money to bribe it, he would probably not be able to cover such a big deal. If the news was leaked, the Yang family would be baked on the fire.
"Yu Ying, Zhou Shiqing said this time that he had never said how to defend on rainy days?"
Muskets and cannons may not be used on rainy days! You have to find someone to verify this matter. Heavy rain should be the weakness of Zhoujia Manor.
"I haven't said this."
"Okay! Go down! Don't tell others about this. You will stay in Wuzhuang these days and don't go out, so as not to meet people from the Zhou family."
Having a general idea in his mind, Yang Meng wanted to ask Uncle Ding to see if he knew the weakness of muskets and cannons.
After finding Ding Baojun and talking about the matter, Ding fell into deep thought. Bird guns and muskets cannot be used in rainy days, but Ding Baojun didn't know what a tiger squatting cannon looked like.
"The musket cannot be used in rainy days. As for the tiger squat cannon, I don't know, but our big iron cannon cannot be used in rainy days."
With this, Yang Meng was generally aware of what the tiger squat cannon was and how it was used. I asked those scholars to find the answer.
When they found the scholars and asked, they really knew that the tiger squat cannon was invented by Qi Jiguang of the previous dynasty. The cannon was short and light in weight, and was mostly made of small leads with a range of fifty to eighty steps.
Next, there were even more worrying Yang Meng. After looking at the drawings, these scholars pointed out that the Zhou family’s tiger squat cannon was installed under the eaves or sheds, and they would not be affected whether it rained or not.
Yang Meng asked Cen Yuying and asked, sure enough! These tiger squat cannons were covered with things. When they rushed into the Zhou family manor, they had to face these large shotguns, ranging from fifty to eighty steps, which was more than one hundred meters, and were all within the range of the tiger squat cannon. As long as the time was seized, the lethality would be absolutely terrifying.
