Chapter 156

The teahouse was relatively clean, but the tables and chairs were very old and looked shabby. Seeing so many people rushing in, the shopkeepers and waiters in the teahouse were stunned. They stood trembling against the wall, not daring to breathe.

.

After Tang Yin came in, he looked around first, then walked to the table in the middle and sat down. The other generals also found their seats and sat down one after another. Tang Yin looked up at the manager and waved to him.

He was not wearing royal clothes, but he was still in military uniform. When the shopkeeper saw him calling him, he did not dare to go over. At this time, two guards came forward. Without any explanation, one of them grabbed one of his arms and dragged him to Tang Yin.

.

"General, have mercy on me, general, have mercy on me!" The shopkeeper knelt on the ground, with snot and tears flowing out.

"Don't be afraid, shopkeeper, we Fengren are not man-eating tigers." Tang Yin patted his shoulder with a smile, and then said: "Ask your guy to serve us some herbal tea to escape the summer heat."

Ah? It turned out to be just tea?! The shopkeeper was stunned for a while before he realized what he was doing. He stood up from the ground in a hurry, turned around and shouted: "Serve the tea, hurry up and serve the generals tea. What are you doing standing still?"

, he said to Tang Yin again: "Guys have never seen the world, I'll go over and urge you..."

"No need." Tang Yin waved his hand, pointed to the empty seat next to him, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, sit down and chat."

The teahouse owner grinned secretly, but did not dare to disobey. He sat tremblingly next to Tang Yin. He said he was sitting, but in fact his whole body was stiff, almost as if he were kneeling there. Tang Yin asked casually while waiting for the tea:

"Is your business good here?"

When the Fengjun guards rushed in just now, they drove away a lot of tea patrons, dozens of them. The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly and stammered: "It's a small... small business, just a living."

Tang Yin changed the topic and asked again: "What is the name of the lord of this city?"

"It's Master Liu Chongliu!" the shopkeeper replied truthfully.

"Where is he now?" Tang Yinxiao asked.

"City... the city lord has run away a long time ago, and I... don't know where the city lord is..."

Before he finished speaking, the guards standing around also took out their sabers.

When the shopkeeper saw this, he was so frightened that he used his knees as his feet, took two quick steps back, kowtowed repeatedly, his voice changed, and screamed: "Everything the villain said is true, I really don't know where the Lord of the City has gone.

!”

Tang Yin was amused and said with a smile: "You don't have to be afraid, I'm just asking casually." As he spoke, he raised his head and looked dissatisfied at the guards on the left and right. Everyone put away their swords, lowered their heads and took half a step back.

Soon, the shop assistants brought the tea one by one. Before Tang Yin could drink it first, Asan and Asi quickly took out the silver needle and tested whether the tea was poisonous. Then he asked the waiter to taste the tea to confirm that it was not poisonous or drugged.

Then he helped Tang Yin fill up the tea.

Tang Yin took a sip and almost spit it out on the spot. The tea was bitter and astringent, making it difficult to swallow. However, he also understood that the taste of herbal tea to escape the summer heat was not much better. He forced himself to swallow the tea and said with a smile: "

Shopkeeper, since the city lords have all run away, why don’t you run away?”

The shopkeeper answered carefully: "There are no soldiers in the city, and there will be no more fighting, so... so the people in the city did not run away..."

"But there are not many people on the street." Tang Yin said while drinking tea and shrugging.

"The wind and sand have been too strong these days, so everyone is trying to avoid going out."

"Oh, so that's it." Tang Yin felt the same way and muttered in a low voice: "What a damn weather." As he said that, he drank the remaining half bowl of tea in one breath.

It can be seen that Tang Yin should be the leader of these Fengjun. Seeing that his tea bowl was empty, the shopkeeper flattered him and took the initiative to pour tea for him. However, before his hand could touch the teapot, he was slapped open by Ah Sanyi, who glared coldly.

He glanced at it, then picked up the teapot and filled Tang Yin's tea bowl.

Tang Yin asked calmly: "Anqiu is backward and isolated, and the weather is also very bad. Have you never considered moving to other counties?"

Hearing this, the shopkeeper couldn't help but sigh and said: "The climate here is a bit worse, but our ancestors have lived here for generations, and we are used to it, and we are reluctant to leave. Moreover, Anqiu was not so depressed before. Our place

It is very close to the Jade State, and caravans from the two countries often pass by Anqiu. However, in recent decades, Anqiu has been plagued by banditry, and caravans gradually no longer dare to leave Anqiu, and would rather take a long way to Surabaya."

"Brands are causing disasters?" Tang Yin raised his eyebrows and asked, "Isn't the government willing to send troops to encircle and suppress them?"

"The government has sent troops." The shopkeeper said helplessly: "We have encircled and suppressed several times before, but they were all unsuccessful. The imperial court refused to use the Central Army, so the banditry issue has been delayed."

"Oh!" Tang Yin nodded and said, "If the banditry is eliminated, Anqiu will be much more prosperous, right?"

"Of course! Without bandits, caravans would pour in in large numbers, and the villain's teahouse business would be much stronger than it is now!" Seeing that Tang Yin's attitude has always been very easy-going, the shopkeeper gradually became bolder and spoke better than before.

Much smoother.

"What's the point of just banditry?!" Tang Yin said proudly: "I, Dafeng, have been ordered by the emperor to fight against rebellion. When I pass by Anqiu this time, I should also contribute to the people of Anqiu!"

"General, are you going to help Anqiu suppress the bandits?" The shopkeeper was surprised and happy, looking at Tang Yin with wide eyes.

Tang Yin nodded and said with a smile: "It's just a little effort. What's more, the people of Baoanqiu live and work in peace and contentment, which is also the responsibility of my Feng Jun during this trip!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden chaos in the backyard of the teahouse. Before anyone could figure out what was going on, a waiter rushed in from the back door in a panic and ran towards Tang Yin. Before he could get close, the guards around him had already

He struck first and knocked him to the ground.

The shopkeeper's expression changed, and he hurriedly called to Tang Yin: "General, this... this is my shop assistant."

Tang Yin waved his hands to the guards and asked them to move away. The waiter got up from the ground tremblingly, enduring the pain in his body, and cried to the shopkeeper: "Businessman, there is a wind army rushing into the backyard, trying to be rude to the landlady and the young lady.

!”

Hearing this, the shopkeeper was shocked and horrified, and shouted anxiously to Tang Yin: "General, what are you doing..."

Tang Yin also frowned secretly. When he entered the city, he had already promised that he would not massacre the city, harm the people, or plunder money. Why could he not stop this kind of thing, and it was still under his nose? His face was expressionless.

The ground shouted in a deep voice: "Cheng Jin!"

"My subordinate is here!"

"Go and see what's going on."

"yes!"

Cheng Jin agreed and strode towards the backyard. The shopkeeper couldn't sit still anymore. He didn't know what was going on in the backyard. He was so anxious that he stood up, looked at Tang Yin, and said tremblingly: "General, then... I..."

Tang Yin didn't say anything more, he just waved his hands in annoyance. The shopkeeper stood up with relief and rushed to the backyard quickly.

The noise in the backyard not only did not stop, but became louder and louder. After a while, there was even a scream. Tang Yin's brows were almost knitted into knots. He slapped the tea bowl in his hand heavily on the table and leaned on the table.

Get up and go to the backyard to see what's going on.

When he walked out of the back door of the teahouse, he took a look outside. Well, there were several corpses lying on the ground in the courtyard. They were all teahouse clerks. There were also more than 20 Fengjun guards standing on both sides. Several of them had steel knives in their hands.

Still dripping blood.

Seeing Tang Yin coming out, all the guards trembled, knelt on one knee and saluted, and said in unison: "Your Majesty!"

Tang Yin's face was gloomy and he didn't ask any questions. He looked up at the back room opposite, hesitated for a moment, and then walked over.

As soon as he entered the room, the smell of blood rushed towards him. The shopkeeper who had been answering questions with him just now had fallen into a pool of blood. A ruthless knife almost cut off half of his neck, and blood was sloshing along the wound.

It spurted out. Looking inside, there was Cheng Jin and several disheveled Fengjun guards. Lying on the bed was a naked woman, her white body covered with bruises and her eyes wide open.

His eyes were staring at the roof of the shed without blinking, and he was obviously out of breath. Next to the body, there was a girl of only thirteen or fourteen years old, her clothes had been torn to pieces, and she was curled up in the corner.

.

"Can anyone tell me what's going on?" Tang Yin's eyes were spitting fire, and his lungs were almost exploding with anger. In the past, people often said that the Feng army had loose military discipline and poor military conduct. They burned, killed, raped and looted the enemy's civilians.

Tang Yin did not deny this, and had dealt with it several times. This time, it was good, there were no problems with the central legions, but something happened to his closest bodyguards. How could this make him feel so embarrassed?

Cheng Jin looked around at the guards around him, shook his head secretly, and retreated behind Tang Yin silently. Among the crowd, a guard captain bravely said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. This is what happened. We will search here and find out if this woman is missing."

He put his clothes on and lay on the bed to seduce us. The brothers couldn't control it for a while, so...Then the tavern owner ran in and shouted at him with a stick, so the brothers cut him down with a knife to protect themselves!"

Tang Yin almost got angry, he could think of such a lame excuse! He looked around at everyone, nodded slowly, turned his head and shouted: "Cheng Jin?"

"My subordinate is here!"

"According to military law, if people, women and children are killed indiscriminately, how should they be dealt with?"

Cheng Jin's face straightened and he said: "The crime should be punished!"

"Then what are you waiting for?"

Cheng Jin did not dare to be merciful anymore, so he took two steps back and shouted loudly: "Come here, take them all down!" Following his words, more than ten people appeared in the room instantly, all dressed in brocade and black.

, wearing a blood-red cloak on their backs, with snakeskin sabers across their waists. No one saw where they came from, and no one even heard the sound of them entering the room, as if they were born out of thin air.

The hidden arrow personnel stepped forward and without any explanation, pushed several guards and the guard captain to the ground.

Even hidden arrows were deployed. The guards saw that the king was definitely not trying to scare them. They all looked pale and fell to the ground, shouting repeatedly: "My king, spare my life! Your Majesty, please spare your life!"
