Chapter 1133: Stage Victory
Qiao's compound is a merchant's house, covering an area of fifteen acres, located in the northwest of the county, Fenshui passes through the city, just flowing through the back of the house, so Qiao's compound has a wharf on the small river behind.
The internal guard soldiers were quickly deployed, one thousand soldiers were in charge of the perimeter, and another thousand soldiers were ready to follow Wang Yue and rush into the house.
On the way, Wang Yue has asked clearly, there is no martial arts hall in the county, this compound is the ancestral home of the Qiao family, most of the time the Qiao family is doing business in Taiyuan, Wang Yue can basically judge that the people in this courtyard are either related to Zhu Zhu, then it is related to Tangzhou Hui.
More than a dozen soldiers climbed into the courtyard wall, and suddenly there was a roar of mastiffs, followed by two whimpering and quiet, but it was these two dog barks that broke the peace, and someone shouted: "Officers and soldiers are coming!" Officers and soldiers are coming! ”
The soldiers opened the courtyard gate, and three hundred sword and shield men rushed in first, followed by seven hundred spear soldiers.
The courtyard was very well walled, and the courtyard inside was very large, covering an area of at least five acres, which was indeed more suitable for training, and at this time, more than a hundred young men in samurai uniforms rushed out with spears in their hands, and their expressions were hideous, like a pack of wild wolves, and they were not afraid to kill the internal guards.
The more than 100 warriors in the Qiao family's compound were indeed transferred from the Lanzhou warrior battalion, and after the Hanzhong youth battalion was ended, the Tangzhou Association knew that the warrior battalion in Lanzhou was not safe, and they immediately transferred the warrior battalion in batches and left Lanzhou.
It is not safe to go to Taiyuan, so they decided to settle in the small counties around Taiyuan, so that it is not easy to be discovered, the Qiao family compound in Yangqu County is a foothold for them, a total of 120 people, rest during the day, train and worship at night, and do not go out a step.
It's just that they didn't expect that the internal guards mobilized the people, especially among the ruffians, scoundrels and beggars to promise heavy rewards, and those who found clues were rewarded with a thousand yuan, and there must be brave men under the heavy rewards, and everyone was mobilized, although they could escape the monitoring of the government, but they could not escape the poisonous eyes of the local snakes, and they only came to Yangqu County for three days, and they were discovered by beggars.
These 120 samurai were well-trained, fierce and brave, but they lacked actual combat experience, especially lack of cooperation, and almost all fought alone.
But they were confronted by the elite of the well-trained and tacit internal guards, especially nine times their number, and one by one the samurai fell screaming, and in less than a tea time, all 120 people were assassinated.
The internal security soldiers continued to search the house, and soon arrested more than two dozen young women and a dozen other men, and the internal security soldiers began to search the documents thoroughly, at this time, two internal security soldiers pulled a middle-aged man in front of Wang Yue.
"Commander, this man seems to be their leader!"
Wang Yue looked at him and asked, "First, I want to know where your training camp is in Lanzhou?" Second, I want to know where the rest of you are? You confessed, I will spare you death! ”
The middle-aged man said calmly: "I was caught by you, even if I don't die in your hands, I will be killed by my own people, I can tell you where the training camp is?" But I really don't know where the others are? If the general understands, he should know that we are all one-line contacts, and intelligence will not cross, so I will be in charge of Yangqu County. ”
Wang Yue nodded, "Then you can say it!" Where is the bootcamp? ”
The middle-aged man glanced back at the twenty or so women, "It doesn't matter if I live or not, but please let them go!" ”
"Say it! I will send someone to send them to Chang'an, and the government hall will place them. ”
The middle-aged man was silent for a moment and said, "The Mixed Yuan Palace in Jingle County is!" ”
This middle-aged man's heart is like a mirror, as long as the Jin army interrogates any of them, he will know where the samurai camp is? It's better for him to take the initiative to confess and exchange this information for the lives of more than 20 women.
At this time, a general walked over quickly and said: "Commander Qiyu, it has been cleaned up, they only have some Jingjiao scriptures, and other documents and materials are gone, and they have found more than 10,000 taels of silver." ”
Wang Yue looked at the middle-aged man, and the middle-aged man said lightly: "There won't be any clerical secrets, this is the rule, don't count on it." ”
Wang Yue immediately divided his troops into two routes, he ordered his deputy general Deng Wei to lead 200 cavalry to escort the captured prisoners back to Taiyuan Mansion, and he himself led 1,800 cavalry to Jingle County, Lanzhou.
As for the reward, Wang Yue handed over 1,000 taels of silver to the county order and asked him to transfer it to Lao Fei'er as a reward, but Lao Fei'er only got 300 silver in the end, and the other 700 taels of silver were used by the county order as the daily expenses of the county government.
Although he only got a three-percent reward, Lao Fei'er was still very happy, he bought a small house in the county, and bought more than 100 acres of farmland, and soon married a lady and started a new life.
As for the three little beggars who first discovered the target, Lao Fei'er was more ruthless than the county order, and each gave a hundred yuan and sent it away.
..........
In the manor north of Fengyi County in the same state, the old man surnamed Kang knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty, all the problems were caused by the tea shop under his jurisdiction, and he could not shirk his responsibility.
"You tell me, you do things without leakage, but now there are loopholes everywhere, Hanzhong has been ended, the martial arts hall is gone, and the five stores have been investigated, let me tell me, how did the internal guard know about these five stores?"
The voice of the Tangzhou Guild Master was flat, but it revealed a sternness that could not be deceived.
Steward Kang didn't dare to lie, so he lowered his head and said: "I have considered it, the problem should be in the account room of the martial arts hall, he has worked in these five shops. ”
"So what's at stake?" The voice of the Tang Prefecture Guild Master became even colder.
"There are three more risks."
Steward Kang's voice became even lower, and the sweat on his forehead was dripping downward.
"One is the contact person I sent out to inform the shopkeeper to evacuate, I don't know if he and the shopkeepers can evacuate safely?"
"And then?"
"Then there is the Lanzhou samurai battalion, the Hanzhong training camp is ended, they will know that the samurai battalion is in Lanzhou, it is said that the Taiyuan internal guard has been dispatched, and the humble position is very worried about the ...... in Lanzhou."
"Go on, what's the third risk?" A murderous intent flashed in the eyes of the Tang Prefecture Guild Master.
"The third risk is Zhang Daqi's family property in Taiyuan, the other party found Tianzhu Restaurant, I don't know if Zhu Yan will be caught, if Zhu Yan is caught, they will guess that Zhang Daqi's death is related to us."
The Tangzhou Guild Lord's heart burst out with murderous intentions, he looked at the manager of Kang for a while and said: "The Lanzhou warrior battalion has been evacuated, the information has been destroyed, and it is not a big problem to be found, but your twenty shops have been found to have suffered heavy losses, as well as the property of Zhang Daqi in Taiyuan, which is already in our hands, as long as we get the voucher to withdraw money from that woman, we can transfer the wealth away, and now because of your mistakes, we have suffered heavy losses, you really need to take responsibility?" ”
Steward Kang's face suddenly turned to ashes, and he said in a trembling voice: "Humble duty..... Willing to accept sin! ”
With a wave of the Tangzhou Guild's hand, a hole suddenly appeared under the feet of the Kang Da Steward, and the Kang Da Steward let out a miserable scream, and then fell silent, and the cover plate turned back as if nothing had happened.
At this time, another middle-aged man walked in, knelt down and saluted, "See the master!" ”
The head of Tangzhou said lightly: "Kang Hongxin has already confessed his guilt, from now on, you will serve as the chief steward of Chang'an, remember, now is not the time to be held accountable, I care about how to deal with the aftermath, and I am more concerned about how to get out of the way." ”
"Humble duty understands!"
The Tangzhou Guild Master took out a jade plaque from his sleeve and handed it to him, "This is a resource for you, you can distribute it yourself!" ”
"Write the Lord's reward!"
The middle-aged man respectfully took the jade plaque, bowed and retreated.
The eyes of the Tangzhou Guild Master were full of worry at this time, he didn't expect that the various defense methods he had carefully constructed were so vulnerable and full of loopholes, and he was even more deeply worried about the sharp penetration of the internal guard, at this time, there were only two words in his heart, dormant.
..........
In Xinfeng County, Zhou Min led 3,000 internal guard soldiers to surround the residence of the old man surnamed Kang, and the soldiers rushed in and began to arrest and search, more than 100 people were arrested, and a lot of wealth was seized in the underground palace.
The arrested liaison finally couldn't resist the torture of the internal guards, and confessed that the Chang'an shops he contacted and the Chang'an stronghold of the Tangzhou Chamber of Commerce in Xinfeng County were hidden, except for the old nest in Xinfeng County, fifteen shops, inns and restaurants were all seized by the internal guards.
At the same time, Wang Yue also led the internal guards to destroy the Mixed Yuan Palace in Lanzhou, and burned the samurai camp of the Tangzhou Chamber of Commerce to the ground.......
In addition, in Jingle County, Lanzhou, due to the report of the head snake, Wang Yue led the internal guard soldiers to exterminate a hidden Tangzhou Hui warrior in a farm again, this time, more than 240 Tangzhou Hui warriors were killed, but due to the strong resistance of the other party, the internal guard soldiers also paid the price of dozens of casualties.
This series of actions all started with the discovery and seizure of the Bashu Chuanxiang Tea Shop, which led to a series of major cases. In the end, the power of the Tangzhou Chamber of Commerce in Chang'an was completely uprooted.
Neiwei achieved a phased victory in the process of finding out the Tangzhou Chamber of Commerce.
But there are still many mysteries that have not been solved, where is the headquarters of the Tangzhou Chamber of Commerce? Who is his leader? Why was Dugu Qiu assassinated by the Tangzhou Chamber of Commerce?
