Section 640 The Temple of Treason
As a high-level general, Wang Shun felt that he had seen some shadows, and he had a familiar feeling in these combat methods and routines.
In a word, in a word.
The horror of the Wancheng army was far beyond the imagination of those in the imperial court.
In fact, the Wancheng army was even more terrifying.
Just when Xu Kan went to send someone to arrest the detainees Wei Feng, the Wancheng army showed their so-called new weapon, the large fire crow, outside Shuzhou.
This thing was temporarily made for Shuzhou.
Bright enough, loud enough, gorgeous enough.
Except that there was no power, everything was perfect.
At this moment, the people of Shuzhou felt scared.
And at this time, the tooth line appeared.
In Shuzhou City, there are at least ten tooth shops setting up stalls on the streets, and at least more than 400 people have begun to pull people frantically.
"This little brother, walk by and take a look, our honest tooth shop has a first-class reputation, and now recruits blacksmiths, and the master will give ten stones of rice every month, plus 20,000 yuan, five horses of cloth, and three catties of salt."
The person who was blocked didn't take a few steps, and another person stopped him: "This little brother, come to see me here, we are very trustworthy, let's give money directly to the blacksmith, at least one basket a month, come and see." β
After blocking two or three times, this one stepped back and asked, "You say, how big is a basket?" β
"As long as you can carry it out of the house where you receive money, twenty steps, you can make as big a basket as you can, and I will give you as much money as you want. This can be written in the contract. There is the seal of the yamen, there is the official preparation of books, and those who are willing to go will be given a settlement fee first, and then they will be carried according to a basket. Dry or not. β
"It's done."
The guy from the tooth shop here immediately took out a contract: "Press the handprint, first say that the basket should be made by yourself, so as not to say that the basket made by others is too small, or not strong." β
This salary is paid.
The other people in the tooth shop saw that this shameless practice was bad for the market, scolded a few words, and then there was a scuffle.
This is what Han Jiang meant, Han Yanxuan's order, Shi Dazuzhi's black move, Han Jiang's most slippery and most capable Hua Er personally led the team, Hua Er gave Han Jiang a military order, no matter how many craftsmen there are in Shuzhou, they can't get more than seventy percent, and they don't need to be paid when they come back to Lin'an, and they work for half a year as a punishment.
Shuzhou City is a bit chaotic, coupled with the pressure of the Wancheng army, the Yaxing fight and the robbery, Shuzhou Yamen has not taken it to heart.
In this way, Shuzhou City was in chaos for a few days.
Let's talk about Shuzhou Yamen.
Wei Feng was caught, he had already packed his bags and was trying to find a way to escape from Shuzhou City.
It's a pity that the Wancheng army in the west is pressing, the water division of the Wancheng army in the south and the east, and the water division of Huainan West Road are pressing the waterway, and the main army of Huainan West Road from Luzhou is in the north.
It's not easy to go.
For several days, he hid in Tibet and did not escape from Shuzhou City.
Now caught.
As a civil official, he cannot be punished, and even if he is sentenced, he must be sent to Lin'an to be interrogated by the Criminal Department, and local officials have no authority to interrogate the rest of the officials.
However, Wang Shun has a way.
Wang Shun sighed for a long time: "I'm a small person, a little military attachΓ©, I wrote to the official family to estimate that it has been a few months later." But I'm afraid, so it's okay if you don't say it, I have to send you to the Wancheng army, believing that they will invite you to drink. β
Wei Feng was a little nervous.
At this time, Huang Jixuan ran in: "Transit envoy, I'm in big trouble in Shuzhou." β
Xu Kan asked: "What trouble will be more serious than Wancheng Army no longer admitting Zhao'an?" β
Huang Jixuan said: "The transfer envoy went to listen, the people of the tooth shop have been increasing the price in the past two days, a small worker, a small worker in the mulberry field has given 8,000 yuan a month, an experienced old mulberry farmer, has given 50,000 yuan a month, and has given two maids, one servant, and three houses." β
"Whew, master blacksmith, twice as tall as this."
Xu Kan realized that there was trouble, but the laws of the Great Song Dynasty had rules, which did not restrict the movement of people, and at the same time did not allow slaves, all craftsmen and masters were contractual, and they lost money in violation of the contract, and as long as they lost money, they could leave at any time.
Someone pays a high price to poach people, and there is really no way to stop this matter by the means of the government.
But the results were terrible.
If this continues, Shuzhou City will inevitably become a third-rate town.
Xu Kan sighed, let's solve the current matter first. Xu Kan asked Wei Feng: "You'd better tell this official who is behind the instructions and who else is involved." β
"Yes, it's Master Empty Reading."
"What?"
"Indeed, there are many others, I say, I say all. Don't hand me over to the Wancheng Army. β
Wei Feng confessed, this bureau has been arranged for a long time, starting from the Wancheng army to ask the imperial court to give three million military expenses, and after the preliminary determination to collect money in Shuzhou, this matter began to be arranged.
Just to prepare those two identical courtyards, because I chose to walk the alley that makes people easily dizzy, so I searched for a long time, and then many of the craftsmen in the temple were busy for many days and spent a lot of money.
Xu Kan didn't understand why all this was done.
Xu Kan said: "Let's go, go and talk to Master Kongyue." β
Xu Kan was still thinking about talking, and You Jiugong saw that more than eighty percent of the blacksmiths in Shuzhou had been poached, and he had already begun to act.
Five hundred elite soldiers of the Wancheng Army surrounded the Valley Temple.
A middle-aged monk in a red robe walked out and shouted a Buddha horn, and when he was about to ask, he saw a hundred slingshots throwing a hundred thunderbolts.
In an instant, most of the monks and soldiers fell.
Meng Liao's subordinates had already picked up the crossbow, and they didn't talk about it at all, and shot them directly.
"You, you, you, this is the holy land of Buddhism."
Meng Liao received an order to get back the money belonging to the Wancheng army, and not a penny less. Then, the proceeds from the suppression of bandits were put into the treasury and used as a reward for the troops sent by the Wancheng Army this time.
The Wancheng army defined this place as a bandit cottage.
The elite field troops of the Wancheng army attacked a temple, even though there were many bandits in this temple who had shaved their heads and put down their butcher knives, in front of the elite Wancheng soldiers, they could only kneel on the ground and beg for mercy.
"Be bold ......" is the only thing that Master Kongyue can shout.
Xu Kan arrived.
He just wanted to ask, why did Master Kongyue set up this bureau, and why did he take away the three million military funds given by the imperial court to the Wancheng army.
He did not bring any soldiers and horses, but only a few followers.
Xu Kan arrived.
All the living people of the Valley Temple have been placed in the main hall, all tied up and kneeling on the ground.
Inside the main hall are countless gold, silver and jewelry.
You Jiugong sighed with emotion at this time: "I, I was wrong." Calculation error. These monks did not take our silver for money, they simply wanted to curry favor with the Jin Kingdom and sabotage the imperial court's recruitment of the Wancheng army. Of course, there is another reason that they are angry for Songshan. β
Xu Kan was anxious and rushed forward: "Here, there is a handwritten book from Taizong, as well as the Shou Pagoda built by the Empress Dowager Zhang Xian for Renzong, and the seal given by the current Emperor Taishang." β
