"Peng Yong, didn't you ask you to rest today? What are you doing here?"

Just as Liu Yi, Luyang Township Hou and Zhao Yu were observing secretly, the man sitting behind the desk asked casually.

He never even looked up at the Hou and the others in Luyang Township.

Upon hearing this, Peng Yong hugged his fists and said with a smile: "I went to Luyang the day before yesterday, thanks to the kind hospitality of the Marquis of Zhaoxiang and the Magistrate of Liu County. Today, I happened to learn that they came to Wancheng to visit the general, so I led them to come..."

Hearing this, the man behind the desk raised his head and glanced at Liu Yu, the Hou of Luyang Township and Zhao Yu, and then said lightly: "When Wang finishes the matter at hand."

In just one sentence, the superiors' aura is fully displayed.

"Because I am 'disobedient' in Luyang County, I give us a warning? Or is this General Wang originally having such a personality?"

When Zhao Yu noticed that Liu Ying and the Hou of Luyang Township exchanged a glance, he also guessed in his heart.

And at this moment, Peng Yong smiled and said, "It seems that the general needs to be busy for a while. Let's sit down...boy, you can sit down too."

"Thank you..."

When Liu and Hou from Luyang Township bowed to thank him, Zhao Yu noticed that Wang Shangde looked up at Peng Yong, but did not say much, and continued to deal with the things in his hands.

"Those five jars of wine are worth it!"

Zhao Yu thought to himself.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Peng Yong had not rescued them at this moment, the three of them would have to stand foolishly and wait for Wang Shangde to handle the things in his hands. Who knows how long the torment of waiting will last?

No matter how you think about it, this is undoubtedly Wang Shangde's warning!

But Peng Yong's opening of the siege allowed the three Housingers in Luyang to sit and wait, and the pressure in his heart was naturally much less.

But even so, the atmosphere in the house was still extremely depressing. In the following time, no one in the house spoke. Except for Peng Yong's calm expression, the three Housingers in Luyang were all feeling discomfort of being sharp and restless.

I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly Wang Shangde, who heard the desk, let out a long breath, then put down the brush in his hand, picked up a piece of silk cloth instead of paper, and blew the handwriting on it.

Seeing this, Peng Yong asked in confusion: "General, is it a letter to the court?... The last general doesn't understand. Why does the general have to write letters to the court from time to time and urge the court to send money and grain?"

"This is called a child who can cry and has milk." Wang Shangde didn't care about the presence of the Hou and others in Luyang Township. He chuckled and explained: "We write letters from time to time and cry, so that the court will remember us. Otherwise, there were so many garrisons along the river fighting against the rebels. God knows when the court will think of us?"

When Wang Shangde explained, Zhao Yu carefully observed this person and saw that Wang Shangde was under 40 years old, and he could be called in his prime.

Under his casually high-rise hair and on his face with a horned horn like a knife, the sharp eyes were like the wrinkles that had been frowning between his eyebrows, which was particularly impressive.

In general, when Zhao Yu saw this person's appearance, he immediately thought of the word "not angry but powerful".

This Wang Shangde is really full of courage and makes people feel the pressure.

"I see."

After Wang Shangde finished his story, Peng Yong suddenly realized.

And beside him, Liu Ying, Luyang Township Hou and Zhao Yu all had their own thoughts when they heard this.

But one thing is the same, that is, Wang Shangde is definitely not a reckless general without wisdom or strategy, and even this person is extremely smart.

At this time, Wang Shangde had turned his attention to the Marquis of Luyang Township and said expressionlessly: "Marty Zhaoxiang Township, the wine that has been buried in your mansion for more than 20 years is really good, I like it very much."

As soon as he heard this, the Marquis of Luyang Township immediately guessed that Peng Yong had presented part of the wine given to Wang Shangde. Hearing this, he bowed and said, "If the general likes it, there is still some remaining in the Hou's mansion, so he can offer it to..."

"No need!"

Wang Shangde raised his hand to interrupt the Luyang Township Hou and said lightly: "It's enough to taste the wine. Drinking too much will only make a mistake. Besides, Wang cares more about your money and food in Luyang County than the wines in your mansion..."

So direct?

Seeing that Wang Shangde was speaking so straightforward and direct, Liu Ying, Luyang Township Hou and Zhao Yu were all stunned for a moment.

However, when the Marquis of Luyang Township and Liu Ying were thinking about what to say, suddenly a soldier came in and told him: "General, the county magistrate Kong Jian asked for a visit."

I don’t know if I think Kong Jian was not the time to come. The word “chuan” between Wang Shangdemei became deeper, but he nodded: “Call him in.”

After a while, Kong Jian walked into the study. When he saw Liu Ying, Luyang Township Hou and Zhao Yu were sitting in the room, he smiled maliciously, and then bowed to Wang Shangde.

"This guy is so terrifying!"

Liu Ying, the Marquis of Luyang Township and Zhao Yu frowned at the same time.

"Sit." Wang Shangde said casually, and he could not tell at all that he respected Kong Jian, the governor of Nanyang County.

But Kong Jian didn't care at all. He sat down at Peng Yong's lower head with great gratitude. He immediately looked at Liu Ying, the Hou of Luyang Township and Zhao Yu, and did not seem to think that there was any problem with him as a county magistrate sitting at the lower head of Peng Yong, the deputy general.

Then, the guy started. He said with a smile: "Mr. Liu County, Marquis Zhao Xiang, the two of you came to Wancheng today. Could it be that Luyang County is ready to offer money and food to General Wang?"

Looking at the disgusting hypocritical smile on the guy's face, Liu Ying and the Hou of Luyang Township didn't want to pay attention to it, but they couldn't resist Wang Shangde and asked deliberately: "Is that true?"

In desperation, Liu Feng gritted his teeth and bowed to Wang Shangde and said, "General Wang, the Hou of Xia and Xiang, came here this time in hopes of getting General Wang's understanding. I am just a small county in Luyang, and I really can't get 200,000 stones of grain and 200,000 yuan..."

As soon as he finished speaking, before Wang Shangde could speak, Kong Jian instigated, "No? As far as I know, you, Luyang, and the people of Yang, have obtained a batch of money and grain from Ruyang, and the government warehouse is full of land at the moment!... Don't think I don't know. You, Luyang, built several new granaries a while ago to use the grain transported by the other party from Rushui counties... Let's not talk about these, there are at least nearly four or five thousand households in Luyang County. Others may not know, but I, Kong Jian, have served as the county magistrate in Luyang before, so how could I stop? I said, Brother Gongqian, if you don't want to help General Wang, you said you don't want to, why bother to be poor?"

Hearing Kong Jian's instigation, Liu Ying suppressed his anger and sneered: "Kong Wenju, do you still have the face to mention that you were the county magistrate of Luyang? You made a clever name in Luyang, add taxes, and use your power for personal gain. Luyang County was ruined by you, and then cleaned up the mess for you. It took more than ten years to restore Luyang County to this point today..."

"What do you do if you mention those old past events?"

Liu Yan exposed his actions in person, and Kong Jian's face was also not good-looking, and he changed the topic: "Today, I will only discuss whether you are willing to lend money and grain to General Wang..."

Hearing this, Liu sneered, "Why? I dare not mention what I did back then? Humph! Liu is too lazy to mention your evil deeds back then. Liu feels that it has defiled everyone here. You Kong Jian is worthy of being a person with the surname Kong? You also deserve to be a descendant of the saint Confucius? If Confucius had spirits in heaven, he would have learned that you, an unfaithful and unfilial descendant, would be..."

"Liu Yi!" Kong Jian interrupted Liu Yi's words angrily: "In front of General Wang, I will tolerate you a little bit, don't bully others too much!"

"I'm too bullying?" Liu Ying sneered: "Do you don't know the truth about Luyang? Do you don't know where the money and grain will be used? You just can't stand Luyang! Just like you hate the village marquis, you hate Luyang because you were driven out of Luyang for doing evil in the past..."

"Liu Yi!"

As the saying goes, whether to hit someone or not, Liu Ying directly exposed Kong Jian's thoughts, which made Kong Jian both embarrassed and angry.

And at this moment, Wang Shangde suddenly heard a deep shout: "Enough!"

In an instant, there was a silence in the house.

At this time, Wang Shangde looked around at the people in the room, especially Liu and Kong Jian, and then said coldly: "Wang doesn't want to hear you arguing about these things, including the grievances and grievances of you, Wang doesn't care. I just need one answer." As he said that, he turned to look at Liu and asked in a deep voice: "Mr. Liu, are you willing to lend money and grain to Wang!...Yes, or, no, Wang only has one answer, and doesn't want to hear any excuses or any reason!"

When Liu Ying's previous aggression and unreasonable words were suddenly interrupted by hearing Wang Shangde's arrogance.

At this moment, he finally understood why Peng Yong said that day that General Wang would probably not change his mind.

The reason is that this General Wang only recognizes money and food!

Faced with the pressure brought by Wang Shangde's pair of tiger eyes, Liu Ying looked at each other with the Hou of Luyang Township, and then said with difficulty: "Twenty-hundred thousand grains, two hundred thousand coins, I, Luyang... can't take it out."

His words seemed to sound like surrender. Seeing this, Wang Shangde's tone also slowed down a little: "So, how much can you take out in Luyang County? 50%?"

Liu shook his head with an ugly expression.

Wang Shangde frowned and said, "What about 30%?"

30%?

That is about 60,000 shi of grain and 60,000 kilograms of food?

If only 60,000 s of grain are available, Luyang County can indeed take it out, but the question is what to do next with labor for relief?

Not to mention that there are still 60,000 yuan.

With a tough head, Liu Ying shook his head again.

"..." Wang Shangde breathed a long sigh, stared at Liu Ying intently, and said coldly: "Then you can tell me the number!"

Faced with the threat of General Wang, Liu Grimmed his teeth and said, "Ten thousand stones of grain, ten thousand yuan, I can barely... "

"How many?" Wang Shangde looked at Liu Ying in surprise: "Ten thousand stones of grain, ten thousand yuan?"

After saying that, he burst into laughter. After laughing three times, he slapped the table in front of him and cursed angrily: "Liu Gongqian, who do you think Wang is? Do you think Wang is begging for a stick? Who are you sending him?!"

When Liu Ying and the Marquis of Luyang Township were ready to bear the anger of General Wang, he heard a tender voice in the house laughing: "Of course, General Wang is not begging for sticks, but I am Luyang. It is better for General Wang to give me 10,000 stones of grain and 10,000 yuan to Luyang to help me with work for relief. Is it good? I am a Luyang native who is easy to pass."

“…”

Under the horror of Liu and the Luyang Township Hou, Wang Shangde turned to look at Zhao Yu who was speaking. Seeing that this son was so young, he could calm his mind under his own intimidation, he was very surprised.

Seeing Wang Shangde's eyes turned to him, Zhao Yu stood up and bowed to the former, smiling.
