Chapter 26 Beauty Mi
On the night of the moon, the moon rabbit hangs high.
In the sleeping city of Huangxiang, the forts are still brightly lit, but there are few villagers and private soldiers patrolling the forts above.
Perhaps this time, the Yellow Turban bandits were so terrible that they were exhausted and overwhelmed by the patriarchs and private soldiers fell asleep.
Perhaps the Yellow Turban bandits have been wiped out, which has made them relax their vigilance.
Maybe there is Tao Ying, a free guard thug outside the fort, so they don’t have to worry about the safety of the fort.
Therefore, when the five teams of men quietly approached their respective targets, the fort found no clues or received a warning.
When the team climbed the fort and attacked the fort, and opened the fort gate from inside, the fort owners who woke up were already out of sight, and were trembling among the bright sword-light crowd.
"Precautions for each exit, don't let anyone go."
As soon as Ji Ling and six other teams attacked the fort, Tao Ying immediately commanded the remaining old, weak, sick and disabled Yellow Turban bandits who had put down their weapons to surround each fort to prevent fish that leaked the net.
Tao Ying now wants to kill someone and vent his anger, and does not want to take risks that can be avoided.
Both were the prefect of the same county, Tao Ying was fundamentally different from Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju.
Tao Ying plundered the powerful in order to make the vast majority of people survive; the second killing and plundering was to satisfy his own selfish desires.
Therefore, Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju killed and set fire, hoping to amplify their momentum and attract more people to imitate them, not only strengthen their own strength, but also share the firepower from the court.
Tao Yingze has to take care of his reputation. He just needs to make a fortune in silence, so he must be low-key and not want to be the target of public criticism.
"Head Zeng, we meet again!"
Tao Ying walked into Zeng’s fortress and saw the head of the Zeng family kneeling at Ji Ling’s feet, messy clothes and trembling.
"Actually, Benshou doesn't want to meet you in this way at all. Unfortunately, the head of the Zeng family insists on having fun, so Benshou can only let it go."
Tao Ying walked to the head of the Zeng family, stared at his frightened face, and shook his head.
"Mr. Tao County Master, are you trying to take the path of bandits?"
The head of the Zeng family, who was dragged out of the hot quilt by the Xuanjia soldiers, looked at the cold sword light shaking back and forth in front of him, and the three souls were thrown away. He was not sure where to find a reasonable one, and the "life-saving straw" Tao Ying appeared.
"You are the prefect of a county, and you should know the teachings of the saints. If you commit a crime like this, if you are investigated by the court, you will be punished for the family!"
In the heart of the head of the Zeng family, Tao Ying was the son of Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou. He would definitely cherish Tao Qian's reputation and also care about Tao's safety. As long as he knew the righteousness and pointed out the interests, he would definitely be able to escape safely.
"Haha, I thought that as a descendant of the Zeng family, I no longer remember the teachings of saints."
How could Tao Ying not hear the threat from the head of the Zeng family? He retorted with a sarcastic look on his face.
"This county magistrate helped you and others to help you and others. Not only did you feel unhappy, but you deceived me. Could this be the way the saints teach you and others to behave? Are you still the descendant of Zengzi?"
When the head of the Zeng family heard this, he suddenly realized it in his heart.
"It turns out that Tao Ying's son thought the head of the family delayed the time for rewarding food and grass. If he had known that the son was so impatient, he would have asked his servant to give it to him early in the morning!"
"Oh, I'm not talking about being humiliated for nothing, I have to pay another extra money and food!"
Since the problem that can be solved with food is not a problem for the head of the Zeng family, the fear in his heart immediately dissipates.
"Mr. Tao, it seems like a misunderstanding!"
The head of the Zeng family slowly got up, twisting his sore waist while calmly explaining to Tao Ying.
"I have prepared food and grass for the county magistrate's army. Maybe the servants were unable to do their jobs and delayed. Please rest assured. I will punish such evil servants severely and give county magistrate Tao a satisfactory explanation!"
The head of the Zeng family, who was in a scrupulous position, looked around Ji Ling and other soldiers behind him, and then slowly looked at Tao Ying.
"I asked the county magistrate Tao to withdraw his troops. Zeng was willing to pay another 2,000 stones of grain and 100,000 yuan to the county magistrate for resettlement of refugees."
After the head of the Zeng family explained and tempted, Tao Ying snorted coldly.
"It's time now, I'm still cherishing my money and life!"
If the head of the Zeng family was eye-catching just now, and devoted all the money in the fort to Tao Ying, Tao Ying might be soft-hearted and could save his life.
It's just a pity that the head of the Zeng family's attempt to escape with Limeng was disappointed.
"Fu Yi, pass on the orders of this article."
Tao Ying was too lazy to talk to Zeng again, so he turned around and sent orders to Ji Ling and others.
"Sun Kang is the temporary envoy, except for women and boys under ten years old, all those who are in the fortress shall be killed if they are punished in extreme cases."
"Using Sun Guan as the temporary financial manager, counting all food, property, soldiers and arsenals in all forts."
"Take Yan Liang as the temporary inspector to strictly prevent someone from taking advantage of the situation and hiding his property privately. Once discovered, he will be killed on the spot."
"Wu Dun as the temporary logistics manager, prepare meals, raise all horse and carriages, ox carriages, and prepare to transport money and grain back to Mount Tai."
...
"Puff..."
"Dong..."
As soon as Tao Ying finished speaking, a foul stinking came with a dull loud noise. Tao Ying turned around and saw the head of the Zeng family who had originally regained his spirit fell to the ground again, with his trousers covered in water stains.
"Mr. Tao, I am willing to give up all my family fortune and ask the county magistrate to spare my life..."
The current head of the Zeng family is as arrogant as before, and now it is as miserable as now. A gray and fat face is once again full of despair.
"What did you do?"
Tao Ying glanced at the head of the Zeng family who was lying on the ground like a dead dog, and retreated back in disgust, with a hint of contempt at the corner of his mouth.
...
As Tao Ying's orders were passed to each team, Sun Guan, Sun Kang, Yan Liang and Wu Dun all took office, organized their own manpower and started working in an orderly manner.
Accompanied by Ji Ling, Tao Yingze walked around the fort and visited the round granaries in the fort.
"Master..."
A tremolo cry came from behind.
"We're rich!"
Tao Ying turned around and saw Sun Guan, who was blushing, running towards him without any image.

Xuzhou, Xiapi, Mifu.
After listening to the report of the person sent by Mi Fang from Nancheng County, Mi Zhu repeatedly asked the servants about what they saw and heard in detail, and was shocked.
"This Tao Ying really kept a low profile and deceived all Xuzhou people!"
Mi Zhu shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Haha, I, Mi Zhu, have always claimed to be smart. If I don't want to be able to get a slap in my eyes, I was blinded by a yellow-toothed child."
Mi Zhu secretly laughed at himself, saying that he didn't blame Tao Ying for being good at playing the show, and he played tricks vividly without any flaws. Instead, he lamented that his Taoism was not deep enough and was not as good as Tao Ying.
"Sure enough, Tao Gongzu gave birth to a real Qilin son!"
However, I was very happy to think about it. This time I missed it not only Mi Zhu, but also various wealthy families of the gentry in Xuzhou, such as Chen Gui and his son, Zhang Zhao, Wang Lang, Cao Bao, Zhao Yu and others.
"At least, my Mi family got on Tao Ying's ship first."
Mi Zhu secretly was very grateful that he asked his younger brother Mi Fang to invest in Tao Ying's move first. He finally got the right move. He was not defeated by other major players in Xuzhou. It also proved that Mi's eyes were unique and his eyes were as sharp as a torch.
"It's not safe enough!"
Now that Tao Ying has begun to show off her talents and ambitions, it will certainly attract the attention of the wealthy families in Xuzhou. More families will board the Tao family, or Tao Ying's ship.
Although Mi family has taken the lead in boarding the ship, Mi Zhu still wants to find a good cabin, which determines Mi family's future in Xuzhou.
"Tao Ying wanted Mi to help him purchase clothes, weapons, and grain. These are easy to deal with. As long as he has money, he can do it as a merchant, and it is easy to be replaced by others. He does not have enough weight and has to find a bargaining chip."
Mi Zhu walked back and forth in the living room, thinking carefully about how to gain greater benefits for Mi.
"Brother, what are you thinking?"
A gentle and crisp sound like a Pechoin bird suddenly sounded, interrupting Mi Zhu's thoughts.
Mi Zhu looked up and saw that it was his sister Mi Zhen. No wonder his voice was as beautiful as Juanjuan's spring water, and it was refreshing.
"Yes, my Mi family has a beautiful girl Mi Zhen!"
Mi Zhu stared at the lotus coming out of the clear water, naturally decorating the beauty of the beautiful fish and geese, Mi Zhen, suddenly blessed her heart and her eyes lit up.
