Chapter 59: Robbery of Money
Since he sent forty teenagers in one go that day, every day or two, Wei Zhongxian would send ten teenagers back, all of them were the kind of young men he asked for with a permanent family and an innocent background. Almost a month later, Zhu Youxiong recruited a total of 200 people. The twenty eunuchs in Tsing Yi who were instructors also began to practice, serving as the squad leaders of these recruits and conducting training.
In the entire barracks of the forbidden army of the East Palace, in the morning, there was a neat and loud slogan, which vibrated the world, stirring up the people in the Ciqing Palace who were close to not have a good night's sleep. At this time, counting the time to build a military camp and recruit people, it has been two months since Zhu Youxiao was responsible for the formation and training of the Donggong Forbidden Army.
However, this news is currently only circulating in the high-level, and they either have a good relationship with the eunuchs in the palace, so that they can learn about it, or they have been operating for generations, and they have a wide range of channels. Knowing that Taisun had just been involved in military power, they wisely did not make a sound, but cautiously chose a wait-and-see attitude, and even used their own connections to keep this secret and try their best to delay the time when it spreads out.
Regarding this subtle attitude, although Zhu Youxiao did not have exact news to confirm, he could guess it, but he ignored it, but immersed himself wholeheartedly in building his own team.
The earliest class has been training for a month, and the body has gradually grown stronger under a lot of meat and nutritional supplements, and everyone has gained an average of five or six pounds. However, Zhu Youxiao was still not in a hurry, and advanced the training to the second stage, but still used queue training to hone it.
The originally empty school field was now occupied by twenty training units, and each class had an open space for training. The three major steps, turning left and right, standing in a military posture, etiquette and politeness, as well as physical training, and other action items are all in full swing.
In later generations, all kinds of incentives were used by him during PLA training, such as adding meals, eating meat, punishing toilets, etc., all of which made this group of bloody boys scream.
At this time, it is already the weather of July, and the sky is high in the hot summer, even if you hide in the rich shade of the trees, you can't help but sweat.
However, despite the sweat soaking the silk undershirt, Wei Zhongxian still smiled and looked at the line in front of him with a relieved face. Hundreds of tenant farmers came to sign up for a physical examination with their school-age boys, and once they passed, they went back with a smile with two taels of white silver, and then threw their own children to Liu Bin.
After a month's time, their reputation has been established, and some people have also seen Lingchunfang, there is indeed a palace, and it is indeed recruiting, and those who are suspicious take the contract document, and the other party also recognizes. All these signs indicate that this is not a hoax, and that someone is indeed throwing money at the office.
After the authenticity was confirmed, all of a sudden, Liu Bin's venue suddenly changed from the previous door to a busy city, which made them too busy. Especially the old eunuch Dong, who was responsible for identifying the bodies of these teenagers, was even more tired and panting. But no one complained, they all persisted with encouragement, just for the little expectation in their hearts.
Just when everyone was busy, a high-spirited shout came. "Get out of the way, get out of the way, you bumped into my son-in-law, can you guys afford to be guilty?"
Seven or eight sturdy men surrounded a young man in a fancy costume, and the man in front of his head lowered his eyebrows and nodded his head, which was the person who spoke before. Seeing these men, Liu Bin became nervous, and so did Luo Qing and the others behind him, who gathered together and gathered around Wei Zhongxian.
From those men, they felt a familiar breath, which was the smell of blood.
The young man who was surrounded in the center was fifteen or sixteen years old, with fair skin, luxurious clothes, and a thick jade belt around his waist, which was full of ornaments. The boy looked a little thin and pale, but his expression was very haughty. He didn't seem to bother to talk to anyone here, but just raised his chin and motioned for the person who spoke in front of his head to speak.
That guy is worthy of being a dog, just by looking at his son's demeanor, he knows what the other party means. He paced, slowly walked in front of Wei Zhongxian and his group, and said a little arrogantly: "You people from the mountains and wilderness, what do you want to do here?" Don't you want to rebel? ”
At this time, it is almost noon, it is the leisure time of farming, originally a large number of farmers gathered here, or to watch the excitement, or bring their own children to try. At this moment, seeing that this group of people was obviously looking for faults, they suddenly scattered in groups of birds and beasts, and they all stayed away from this place of right and wrong, just staying in the distance to watch.
Before the dog-legged man spoke, these people were still watching with an attitude that it was not their business and they were lively. It's just that when the words "Do the dog-legged men want to rebel" came out, those people were shocked and hurriedly fled, most of the people who dared to say this had an official background, and they didn't dare to see the excitement of such people, and they were implicated if they didn't do it.
Liu Bin and the others, facing the other party's bullying attitude, were a little weak, and they didn't dare to deal with it directly, and they all looked at the still calm steward of Wei. In this case, Wei Zhongxian, as the backbone, had to stand up, "Who are you who dare to bully people here." ”
"Yo he, you don't even know my son-in-law, so you dare to act swaggeringly here?" Wei Zhongxian's reply made the dog-legged man stunned. "So that you can understand that the master of my family is the son of the British government, and when he saw that you and others were accumulating money and bullying the township, I hereby came to investigate and make decisions for the people."
As he spoke, his eyes swept to the half-open box behind him, and a glimmer of silver light burst out of it, shining in the sunlight. This was opened by Wei Zhongxian in order to win the trust of the people, to show that he was indeed a serious person and had no evil intentions.
Half of the 1,000 taels of silver allocated by Zhu Youxiao had been used up at this time, and there were still 500 taels left, all of which were in the box at the moment. Five hundred taels of silver are piled together, which is still very tempting, and it makes people drool. Seeing the other party's movements, Wei Zhongxian, who was a human spirit, still didn't understand what was going on, his black eyes couldn't see the silver money, his money was exposed, and someone was eyeing him. Five hundred taels of silver is not a small amount, enough to make people's hearts move.
Thinking of this, Wei Zhongxian was angry and laughed, angry that the matter of the young master must be delayed, and he couldn't say that he still had to eat a reprimand or board; The laughing thing is that there are really people who don't have long eyes, and they dare to come to his stubble.
"Blind in your dog's eyes, you dare to come here to ask for trouble. It is said that the British government, even the vassal king's mansion, does not dare to come here to ask for money. The righteousness that Wei Zhongxian said was awe-inspiring and domineering, and with the bearing of the great eunuch he gradually cultivated by Zhu Youxiao's side, it seemed extremely imposing and powerful.
As a Wei bastard who has mixed the market and the court, he has a deep understanding of Xungui, which is a special group of people who only look at the background of the family. In today's era of civil and military inferiority, and now when the Jiangmen family is completely suppressed by the imperial examination family, the nobles are a special exception, they still control the armaments and economic properties around Beijing by virtue of their ancestors' merits and long-term accumulation, guarding their own one-third of an acre of land, and contending with the civil officials.
Although several emperors in a row, the nobles did not make too much noise as if they had disappeared, but they still did not frighten the civil officials when they took out one at random.
Wei Zhongxian's consideration was not wrong, and he used atmospheric language and tough momentum to repel these villains who smelled of it. The so-called son of the British government on the other party is estimated to be where he came from, and his distant relatives followed the name of the prince of the country to swagger and deceive outside, trying to make money, such a person, the tone is tougher, and the other party retreats.
It's just that Gonggong Wei, who has always been shrewd, missed a little, and he was not followed by his own eunuchs in the palace, and they didn't know who was doing anything. As soon as they heard the name of the British duke, their legs immediately softened, and they rushed over and actively did things, just to find a good place.
Even Liu Bin, who has always been calm, and Luo Qing, who has always been anxious, are like ants on a hot pot at the moment, and they don't know what to do. They even thought in their hearts whether they should use the ice blade in their hands to grab a little silver, and run out to leave the capital with their children. It's no wonder that they heard that the other party was from the Guogong family, and everyone suddenly lost their fighting spirit.
The distance between the prince and them is simply the distance between the gods in the sky and the ants on the earth, and a name alone makes them helpless, let alone the British duke who is full of weight among the nobles. The British duke, who has been in charge of Beijing for generations, can be described as the nobleman among the nobles, and the brand is very hard.
"Hah! It's such a big breath that I don't even pay attention to my master. After carefully looking at the demeanor of the other group, the dog-legged man laughed disdainfully. He didn't take Wei Zhongxian's words to heart at all, he was not afraid of any vassal king, and he was blowing nonsense. I don't look at the soft-footed crabs behind me, and the acting is all showing the horse's feet.
"Someone, call me, and grab the silver." The dog-legged man took the long knife with the sheath in his hand and rushed over. Don't look at him in front of the young man in Chinese clothes, but the kung fu at hand is extremely hard, and Liu Bin, who has the best kung fu here, was only a few moves later, and he was whipped by the long knife with a sheath.
"Butler, let's go." Liu Bin led people to greet him and protected Wei Zhongxian and the old eunuch Dong Xing. The chaotic development of the situation suddenly exceeded Wei Zhongxian's expectations, he never thought of it, how could it be a fight.
It can only be said that our Lord Wei pulled the flag wrongly, he should not say the name of the vassal king to ≡ from the country of King Fu, among the northern Zhili, there is only a prince in the East Palace. The prince who is kept in captivity in the deep palace, how can there be subordinates hanging outside.
Don't look at the dog-legged man, he thinks about these very thoroughly, and it is precisely because he is very clear about these thresholds, coupled with the hard work in his hands, that he squeezed out countless competitors and became the number one henchman of the son, and came forward to deal with many inconvenient things.
He was also very measured, and did not draw his blade, but slashed with the scabbard, smashing people with a powerful weapon. The same is true of those next to him who beckoned up, smashing people with their blades. Jingshi, the first good place, there is nothing to do, but don't kill people.
"Oops!" Father-in-law Wei, who was still stunned, was swept away, and immediately half of his face was swollen. After being beaten, he sobered up, no matter what the situation was, the silver could not be saved, so he would go back first. Covering his face, he walked away with his head without looking back.
Seeing that the other party had run away, the dog-legged man did not chase after him, but picked up a small box containing the remaining five hundred taels of silver, and held it in front of the young man in Chinese clothes like a treasure.
"Haha, five hundred taels, now the gambling money is again, go, go back to them to take revenge." The teenager was accustomed to the robbery that happened in front of him. He just laughed twice and then led the people away.
