Chapter 556 The Treacherous Yue Shu

Into the night, the dead of night.

"Yue Shu, how about investigating the situation around the herd thief?" In a courtyard, dim lights were flickering. Sitting, with white hair like silk, a pair of slender phoenix eyes, the eyes are as sharp as a knife blade.

"Elder, there are a lot of people around the shepherd bandit. There are elite guards inside and the main battalion outside. It is really not easy to get a thorough understanding of his battalion deployment!" It was Fang Ling's chief book Yue Shu who answered: "And I don't know if it is It's not that the shepherd is very wary of someone, he visited Fangling and summoned many county officials to give lectures, but the disciple was never allowed to enter the station, the disciple was unable to find out what happened!"

Yue Shu is very young, probably in his early thirties.

Many people knew that he was recommended by the Yue family to become the master of Fangling County, but what many people didn't know was that he was a Taoist disciple, not only a Confucian student, but also a disciple of Taoism.

"So you can't do anything at the station?" A cold light flashed across the eyes of the Taoist robed old man.

"I can't figure out the deployment. The disciples don't agree to do something at the post station. Please ask the elders to look into it!"

"You are right!"

The Taoist robed old man thought for a while, and said: "The city is definitely not a place where you can do something, but such a good opportunity makes this thief less defensive. If the old man can't avenge the master, he will be ashamed of the instructions of the Xiantian master!"

"Elder, it's not that there is no chance. I heard that the shepherd thief is going home recently. When he came, he was very defensive, and he may not be the same when he returns. Eyes, the mountains around the mausoleum overlap, and the mountain road is rugged. It is the right place. If we figure out the itinerary, then we will have a chance!"

Yue Shu said.

"You're right!"

The Taoist robed old man heard the words, thought for a while, and said: "I don't care what method you use, I will find out for the old man the troops around the shepherd thief, as well as his itinerary, the old man must know clearly!"

"promise!"

Yue Shu nodded.

"Besides, don't come here often. After all, the shepherds are in the city now. For safety, some people will inevitably become suspicious!" said the Taoist robed old man.

"But if I have news, how can I pass it on to the elders?" Yue Shu asked.

"The old man will send someone to contact you!"

"Understood!"

Yue Shu nodded to accept the order, then turned and left.

"Elder Yin, can this person be trusted?"

Three or four middle-aged men in Taoist robes came out from behind the screen, and one of them asked.

"This person is a disciple of my Taoist sect, so he should be somewhat trustworthy!" The old man in the Taoist robe thought for a while and said, "But you can't pin your hopes on him!"

He asked, "When will Yang Ang's troops arrive?"

"At most one day, you can go to the western suburbs of Fangling!"

"Then let's wait!"

The old man in the Taoist robe said: "Yue Shu is right. It is too risky to fight at the station. Even if we figure out their deployment, with their current strength, it is very difficult for us to get them. Instead, it is their way back. There is a chance!"

"But we still don't know their way back!"

"Let's see if Yue Shu can figure out his itinerary!"

The old man in the Taoist robe stood up: "But no matter whether it is possible or not, once Yang Ang's soldiers and horses enter Fangling, we will do it. This time, Mulongtu must be killed. For a hundred years, my celestial master Taoism has stood in the southwest, with a great reputation. Your death cannot be in vain!"

"Yes!"

Everyone bowed their heads, with firm expressions, and nodded one after another.

They are all Taoist priests of the Heavenly Master Way, and they are also rangers with strong martial arts skills. This time, they came from Qingcheng for revenge. Naturally, they wanted to assassinate Mujing with the intention of killing.

……

Yue Shu first went back to the county government office, and after doing a few official duties, he returned to Yuefu. Although Fangling had a curfew, as the master of Fangling, he walked on the street, even if he ran into night patrolling soldiers, it would not be a serious problem.

The Yue family is also quite prestigious in Fangling, and the mansion is built on the right path of the East Street.

"Zhong Xu is back!"

Yue He, the patriarch of the Yue family, placed great hopes on this cousin. It seems that it is not difficult for a large family like their gentry and landlord to produce a scholar, but it is not easy to produce a scholar who enters the official career. It can be said that they have exhausted the family resources. , can be regarded as Yue Shu's confession to this position.

"Brother!" Yue Shu came in, took off his shoes and socks, entered barefoot, knelt down in front of the hall, saluted slightly, and then asked, "I heard that Minghou sent you all to the inn today, I don't know why! "

"Hey!"

Hearing this, Yue He immediately waved his hands and said: "This young Marquis Ming is not easy to get along with. He wants us to pay for nothing and cultivate the land for him without paying any money. How can there be such a cheap thing? Find me for my brother. One reason, refused!"

"Since brother refused, what about the rest?"

"Humph!"

Speaking of this, Yue He couldn't help snorting coldly: "They are all a bunch of gutless bandits. The head of the Wu family, Wu Tong, agreed without saying a word, and the usually lofty old man Fan An agreed. , the rest of the people have followed suit, and they can only be like our Yue family, only four or five families!"

"In that case, why can't elder brother be a child?"

Yue Shu cupped his hands and said gloomyly: "Brother, you know that offending Marquis Ming is not a good deed. If Marquis Ming settles accounts after autumn, how can our Yue family stop it!"

"Isn't it?"

Hearing this, Yue He frowned slightly: "Besides, if I don't turn against him, how could he do something murderous? With so many eyes on him in Fangling, isn't he afraid of going back on his word and hurting his prestige?"

"Brother, this matter cannot be a fluke!" Yue Shu said: "It is the general trend for the Marquis of the Ming Dynasty to rule Hanzhong. If it is a trivial matter, he cannot follow it. He must think that our Yue family is against him. Stable, he can still spare it, but if Fangling is stabilized next year, can there be anything for our Yue family? As long as he makes a decree, he can let his younger brother lose his official position, and he can make the Yue family lose his job with a cryptic order. The family is ruined!"

"How is this good?"

Yue He was stingy and stingy, and rarely had his own opinions. Hearing Yue Shu's words, his complexion suddenly changed, and he asked quickly: "Brother Shu, there is still a way to redeem it!"

"At this point, my brother can only feel wronged. He should immediately come to the door to plead guilty, and then send out all the tenants in the family to relieve Minghou's worries and problems. It can still save one or two!"

Yue Shu said.

"Is it feasible?" Yue He asked.

"Brother, if the Marquis of Ming is a person who does great things, he should win people's hearts, and he will definitely not hold grudges against me for trivial matters!" Yue Shu said: "In addition, you should have enough sincerity. The Marquis of Ming has been marching for many years. Doesn't the brother in the house have a set of treasures?" A, you can feel relieved to give it away!"

"That is the family heirloom of our Yue family!"

Yue He said: "When the first master of the Yue family followed Emperor Guangwu to fight and ransacked the house in Guanzhong, the treasures copied from the former Wang Mang's mansion have been handed down for many years, how can they be given to outsiders!"

"Brother, compared to the future of the Yue family, this armor is insignificant!"

A meaningful smile was formed on the corner of Yue Shu's mouth: "If you give this armor away, it will protect the safety of hundreds of people in Yue's family. Why not give it away!"

"This..." Yue He hesitated.

"Brother, you are the head of the family, and you should take the safety of your clansmen as your own responsibility, don't hesitate!"

"Okay, listen to you!"

Hearing this, Yue He gritted his teeth and became ruthless.

That night, just after midnight, Yue He took the family heirloom of the Yue family and rushed to the post station...
