Chapter 20: The Cao Gang dreams of Yangzhou City

It turned out that after the second daughter saw Wu Fengao leave today, the officers and soldiers in Yangzhou City were mobilized and guarded everywhere, so they were worried. www.biquge.info Master Liu and Li Qiuhan are not there, and they don't know what to do in their hearts.

I found someone to inquire and learned that Wu Fengao went to the helm of the Cao Gang today, and called Ayi to drive, and Liu Hun also followed. Ayi also has experience, and when he saw the strict guards outside the Cao Gang, he knew that there must be an unusual time to release him, so he only parked the carriage in a hidden place from a distance and watched.

After a while, there were murderous voices in the helm of the Cao Gang, and from the people who escaped, they learned that they had already killed red eyes. When the second daughter heard this, she was immediately anxious, so she wanted to go in to find out. was stopped by Ayi and Liu Hun, and they all said that with Master Liu by his side, he would be able to protect the safety of the young master.

The second daughter was reluctantly persuaded to sit back in the car. I saw that more and more people escaped, but Wu Fengao was never seen, and he wanted to get out of the car several times with mixed feelings, but Ayi stopped him, and sent Liu Hun to investigate.

It wasn't until the last person who withdrew that the situation inside had been settled, and then he drove closer. But Ayi still held the reins in his hand, and if something went wrong, he fled in the carriage. It wasn't until they saw Wu Fengao and Master Liu come out, and the two of them didn't seem to be injured, that they settled down and drove over.

coaxed the second daughter in the carriage, not mentioning the danger, only saying that he had found a safe corner with Master Liu and hid inside to watch the excitement.

Shi Muqing heard that he reached out to the soft flesh of Wu Fengao's waist and pinched it fiercely. Wu Fengao suddenly felt pain in his internal organs, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. "Let you only care about yourself and watch the excitement, and you don't care about what Sister Gongsun and I are worried about!" After speaking, he turned his head angrily and leaned to the other side of the carriage and ignored Wu Fengao.

Gongsun Jianwu was relieved at this time, and gently softened the sore spot that Wu Fengao had just been pinched. With the soft brush, Wu Fengao felt that the pain he had just felt had been alleviated a lot.

Feeling the gentleness of Gongsun Jianwu again, and coaxing Shi Muqing with puffing up again, the group finally returned home.

The leader of the Cao Gang defeated a strong enemy to tide over the difficulties, and was reezing when he suddenly heard that the secret vault had been robbed. Suddenly I felt cold from the beginning.

"Follow me!" Call up the subordinates who didn't have time to rest, and hurried to the secret vault.

Outside the secret vault of the Cao Gang, Cao Shaoqin's 800 officers and troops transferred from Nanjing and more than 100 Dongchang Fanzi were waiting for them. Dozens of Dongchang Fanzi in the vault didn't look at the gold and silver treasures in the treasury, and were engrossed in flipping through the account books and the secret letters that were searched.

"The Cao Gang has always been good friends with the imperial court, and has served the imperial court for decades, and there is no merit and hard work. Why did you take advantage of the fire to rob and attack my treasury today! Hong Yuntong said loudly, although he has a numerical advantage, but attacking Dongchang and the official army is like a rebellion, and he does not have the courage to do so.

"Our family received a secret decree from the Holy Divine and came to investigate the case. Rest assured, our family only checks the accounts, and does not move the gold and silver. As long as the Hong gang leader is dedicated to the country, and when our family finds out the truth of the case, the treasury of gold and silver will definitely not be guilty in the autumn! Cao Shaoqin stood up and replied.

Hong Yuntong complained in his heart, in addition to the gold and silver treasures in the secret vault, there were also correspondence with relevant officials of the entire Lianghuai over the years, account details, expenditure expenses, etc. Originally, there were cronies guarding it, and even if the army came to attack, as long as it lasted a few hours, the guards could destroy the evidence. This time, he was actually taken advantage of by others, and he couldn't attack it, so he had to call the military advisor Xu Hua and ask him to quickly contact the government to think of countermeasures.

I didn't want to search for all the officials I could find, but I didn't see him behind closed doors.

The officials of the two Huai are also shrewd, although the accident is big. But precisely because of the big, the entire Jiangnan officialdom was even involved in the important ministers of the DPRK and the central government. It's impossible for the emperor to want half of the country for this case. In the end, it was nothing more than catching a few scapegoats, and the rest of the personnel were given light punishment, or perhaps the officials did not need to be exempted, and they directly made meritorious contributions in office. With this uphold, it is natural that it will not be involved at this time, and whoever is involved now will definitely become one of the scapegoats.

Hong Yuntong didn't expect these officialdom to turn their faces so quickly, and they were so anxious and angry that they couldn't do anything for a while. Just when the Cao Gang was panicking. The prefect of Yangzhou came to make up for it again, and posted notices on various major roads in the city: Dongchang handles the case, and idle people should not be disturbed. If someone in the family is doing things in the Cao Gang, persuade them to go home as soon as possible and stay in peace, and not to wander around. Cao Gang personnel who come to Yangzhou from other places can return to their hometowns and are not allowed to stay. They also sent out the trappers and distributed leaflets everywhere.

For a time, the hearts of the Cao Gang fluctuated, and everyone was in danger. From the beginning of a few people sneaking home alone, it has developed to the hall master and the incense master retreating with dozens or hundreds of people. Not long ago, the leader of the Cao Gang, who was still full of glory, only had dozens of cronies left around him at this time.

I never thought that I had worked hard to run the Cao Gang for many years, and I would end up like this. In the midst of grief, Xu Hua persuaded: "Helper, stay in Qingshan without worrying about no firewood, we still need to leave Yangzhou as soon as possible to protect ourselves, and there may be a chance in the future." ”

Hong Yuntong thought about it, although it was a pity that the glory and wealth were lost. But as long as there is one life left, it's a big deal to fall into the grass, and it's still a big piece of meat and a big bowl of wine! Thinking of this, he took his men out of the city with his horses.

The city gate was closed, and the officers and soldiers on the city wall were fully armed, and the bows and crossbows were wound. The chief arrester of Yangzhou City really took more than 200 arresters in the city and waited for a long time.

"Lao Xing! I've known each other for many years, do you really want to force it like this? Hong Yuntong looked at the heavily guarded city gate.

"Gang Master Hong, where the duty lies, offended! If you really don't happen this time, your family will definitely take care of you. "The truth of the punishment.

Hong Yuntong was really desperate, looking at Xing Zhen, who was like iron, and then looked at the head catchers and fast catchers who were complimenting him on weekdays behind him. I think of the officials who speak boldly when they drink and are worthy of brothers. I looked at the towering and solid city wall of Yangzhou City--- this wall was still built with his Cao Gang's donation--- closed city gate has witnessed the glory of many Cao Gangs.

The endless stream of goods, the heavy silver, and the crowding of officials. It seemed that it was not so long ago, but now I felt so far away from myself, and it was like waking up from a dream......
