Farming in space: the struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 207 207 Dealing with spies
Xu Gui was busy with his subordinates for several days to prepare for going to Yuanshan Town to do business in half a month. He also met with many managers and ordered many things to go down.

Because of this, he met several 'old men' who escaped from Huangsha City with the caravan.

He didn't remember one or two, until one time when he talked about going to Yuanshan Town and first went to Yang Erlang to explore the way, someone also mentioned that the name Yang Erlang was familiar, and he seemed to have found a confidant when he heard it. It always feels familiar.

At such a mention, everyone present remembered it and felt familiar, and one person remembered it.

"When we were fleeing famine, the team leader seemed to ask Yang Erlang to come here?"

"That's right, that's the name!"

"Yes, I remember it too, it's been so long, I didn't remember it for a while."

Xu Gui also remembered, but he didn't expect it to be this person.

Although it was guessed that Yang Erlang might be the son of everyone, a series of events later showed that this was not the case, and he should be just a farmer with some knowledge.

At that time, he blamed himself for his failure and stupidity, completely immersed in his own world, and blamed others for his mistakes. Don't bother, I just forgot about these things, and I never went to inquire about anything.

Unexpectedly, this Yang Erlang has such an achievement now, did he miss it, or...

"I have heard people who have been to Yuanshan Town brag about things there several times, and I have also heard them mention several big businessmen there, but I have never thought about it. If it is really the Yang Erlang we know , there is still work to be done.”

Xu Gui thought for a while and said, "Everyone, speed up your preparations and see if you can go to Yuanshan Town as soon as possible."

If it is really that Yang Erlang who has such a relationship, it is not for nothing. If the timing is good, he might be able to win the cloth business in Yuanshan Town by virtue of this relationship!

This has to be planned quickly!
Xu Gui came out from his home, turned around and went into the teahouse, asked someone about Yang Erlang in Yuanshan Town, and confirmed that all the information about Yang Erlang was similar to what he remembered.

The Xiao Er who was talking obviously talked a lot about the situation of the merchants in Yuanshan Town in the past two days, and even talked about Yang Erlang's status in Yuanshan Town as lightly as possible and his relationship with other big merchants for free.

Xu Gui originally just listened to it casually, but now he is also a serious businessman. He heard the way and business opportunities as soon as he heard it, and immediately changed his mind.

He has to go to Yuanshan Town first, the goods may arrive a few days later.

He went back and talked to his young man like this, but the young man hesitated to speak.

"Just say what you have to say."

The boy said, "It's nothing, master, it's just that tomorrow is the day when General Ling will deal with the spies in the army, and he posted a notice for the people of Bazhou to watch, but he didn't say that he must go, but I thought, the young master always I don’t want to miss it, why don’t I go one day later and the day after tomorrow?”

Xu Gui was taken aback, this is indeed a problem.

"When will the disposal begin?"

"Tomorrow at noon."

"Forget it, let's go tomorrow."

"Yes."

The boy went down to get ready, Xu Gui sat on the spot thinking about it.

Naturally, he also paid attention to the affairs in the military camp. The Ling family and Bazhou were bound together. If the Ling family is good, Bazhou will be good.

He was also worried about the situation before, but he is a small businessman, he was worried that there would be some use for him, would the Ling family care about him?

Before, he was worried that there would be war between father and son, but now it is said that General Xiao Ling is seriously ill, and tomorrow he will deal with spies, it is probably the girl Xiaoyue, is it General Xiao Ling who can't do it?

If this is the case, it is not a bad thing, at least the Ling family army will not be divided and can be stabilized.

As for General Ling who has only one son, what will happen to General Ling when he gets old will be decades away, so he doesn't need to worry about it.

Anyway, I still have to go and see it tomorrow. This kind of big scene can reveal a lot of information.

……

The next day, Xu Gui went early.

The spies were dealt with at the execution ground in Bazhou. To be honest, during the years when Bazhou was in the hands of the rebels, the execution ground never stopped every day. Everyone in Bazhou City was in danger until General Ling took over Bazhou City. This is how things got better.

Before today, at least it had been more than half a year since I had used the execution ground.

It took some favors for Xu Gui to rent a private room with a good view in the nearest restaurant.

There were many people who came to watch, most of them with curiosity on their faces.

On the execution ground, the two generals Ling were there, and the person wearing the shackles was indeed Miss Xiaoyue.

Xu Gui was puzzled and took a few more glances.

He didn't expect that General Xiaoling was there, he didn't seem to be seriously injured, and he didn't seem to have any dislike for the person who was going to be executed was Miss Xiaoyue.

Could it be that General Xiao Ling is not critically ill at all, but just used to trick Miss Xiaoyue into showing her feet?

This is indeed the most logical guess.

Soon, when the time was almost up, a military adviser stood up and read out several crimes of the spies. The originally quiet group of people suddenly started to yell like a boiling oil pan, and some people started throwing broken shoes, stones, vegetable leaves, etc. on the execution ground. thing.

There is no other reason, just because of the piles of crimes, each of which is a crime worthy of death, and the people are not stupid. Knowing that the Ling family army is gone, their stable life will be gone, and they will live that miserable life again , so they didn't hold back at all the sinners who tried to ruin their good life.

Xu Gui focused on the reaction of General Xiao Ling on the high platform. He was far away and couldn't see the subtle expressions, but he could see that General Xiao Ling had no other reaction except turning his head to look at General Ling.

Then the military officer shouted angrily and ordered the people to stop throwing things.

These words still carry a lot of weight, and the things thrown to the execution ground gradually became thinner, and soon stopped completely.

The executioner pushed Xiaoyue, who had become distraught, to the front, kicked her knees to make her kneel, and then sprayed wine on the machete.

Knife up and down.

There was a burst of applause and screams from the people at the same time.

Xu Gui paid close attention to the reactions of the two generals Ling from the beginning to the end, and did not relax until the two left the field at last.

It seems that the father and son have reconciled as before, and that's all right. He no longer has to worry about the safety of the Ling family army and Bazhou, and he can do business wholeheartedly.

After leaving the private room, many of the people watching outside had already dispersed.

Xu Gui walked among the common people, listening to them say what happened just now with indignation or regret.

"Miss Xiaoyue was really beautiful when she was born, so it's a pity to die like this."

"So what about her beauty, she has a heart of snakes and scorpions, and death is not a pity!"
