Chapter 26: Make a decision to confess the Lord
After the task was assigned, everyone began to act with their men. And at this moment, Gongsun Jian breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, the analysis and plans for the Chen family and the aftermath that he said just now were all the results that he only reacted after he left the Chen family, and then spent a day constantly deducing and calculating. Of course, there are still some subjective thoughts and luck psychology in this. After all, things have developed to this point, and there is not much room for him to back down. Although he had experience in a military academy in his previous life, he also participated in several overseas missions and domestic anti-terrorist operations. But after all, those are all special operations, and they are all carried out in accordance with the pre-deployment of the superiors in the general environment. But when I came to this time and space, it was the first time in my life to plan and do such an unbelievable thing alone. Not to mention the political factors behind it, just by fighting his heart, he also felt that he still underestimated the ancients. The squires and tyrants in any ordinary place are not as simple as they imagined. Fortunately, I have always been cautious enough to be used to summarizing and thinking about gains and losses after the fact. The other main thing is to have enough guts and courage.
Everything was as Gongsun Jian expected in advance, Chen Nianzu thought that Gongsun Jian had stabilized for the time being, although he did not let his guard down, but he would never have thought that Gongsun Jian would be bold enough to lead someone to destroy his entire family. Although they also made stubborn resistance, after Ma Teng promised a heavy reward, the Chen family's guards and family members were still unable to resist the attack of those bandits in Huangnigang, especially more than 30 veterans of the Northern Army.
Especially Wei Meng, who has not been able to play and participate in the action, finally found an opportunity to vent. Wearing a fish scale armor specially made for him by Gongsun Jian, brandishing a pair of infantry halberds weighing eighteen catties each and about four feet five long, he led people directly from the backyard of the Chen family and broke through the courtyard wall and rushed in. It can be said that people block and kill Buddhas, almost one person is worth hundreds of people, and no opponent can insist on three faces under him. Even a veteran like Ma Teng, who was accustomed to fighting on the battlefield, couldn't help frowning and secretly felt sorry, he had never seen Wei Nerd so brave before!
In less than half an hour, there was not even a single gasp left in the more than 200 people in the Chen Mansion. Ma Teng, as promised Gongsun Jian before, restrained his group of people, and did not rush to count the Chen family's money, but simply dispersed to guard the huge Chen Mansion and prevent outsiders from approaching.
Qi Shi on the other side was much calmer, although Gongsun Jian gave him an order to set fire to the other families to create chaos, so that they would not go to rescue the Chen family or report to the outside world. But Qi Shi didn't do that, and sent someone to a few houses in advance to say hello, telling the other party to stay at home and not go out at will, which played a deterrent role in killing all the individual disobedient people who left the mansion without permission. After that, several families also settled down. So there wasn't much of a stir.
Compared with these two places, the most troublesome is the wharf outside the West Gate, where after all, there are hundreds of militia guards, more than 100 elite guards from various families, and some county officials who are determined to follow a few families. With more than 80 people led by Ding Feng and Xie Wu, there was really no way to take each other. After a fierce attack, seeing that more than a dozen people had been lost on his side, but the other party was still holding the dock, Ding Feng immediately sent someone to contact Gongsun Jian. After Gongsun Jian got the news, he hurried to the dock, and when he was hesitating to make up his mind, Zhao Changle came over and whispered a few words in Gongsun Jian's ear.
"My lord, in fact, most of the people in the militia are also hard to work on the dock haha, and they all have to do this for the sake of life. The reason why they will resist is that they have been afraid of the power of a few families for a long time, and secondly, they still take into account the generous wages, don't look at those people, everyone is the lord who loves money as life, but for this corps, they are willing to spend money, if there are no people in the militia group, how can they be able to control Linshui County in Liu Zhixian? ”
"Then according to what you mean......" Gongsun Jian asked with a frown.
"My lord, it's time to take out your official credentials and the head of the Chen family. This can deter the other party, and dispel the other party's worries, and give some additional benefits. The subordinates estimated that there should be no accidents, and they should be able to shake the other party's military spirit. As for those family members, they are actually just greedy for a few more rewards, who will really sell their lives. ”
'Oh? Gongsun Jian turned his head and looked at Zhao Changle, the official who had been by his side all night. I didn't expect this person to have this mind. I have to say that Zhao Changle's analysis is very correct. Gongsun Jian pondered for a moment and then ordered to go down, just keep an eye on the ships loaded with salt, and don't engage the other party at will. If the other party wants to escape, then whatever. In a word, it's the right thing to do with salt.
Gongsun Jian sent Zhao Changle to return to the county seat quickly, one to inform Ma Teng to cut off the Chen family's heads, and the other to call Liu Dayuan, the county lord who is still hiding in the county office. It is estimated that just relying on a small county lieutenant is not enough to deter the other party, and it is different to pull Liu Dayuan, after all, he is an official county order appointed by the imperial court. Besides, the county seat will still be handed over to Liu Dayuan to govern in the future, and pushing him out at this moment is also to accumulate prestige for him.
Sure enough, as analyzed by Zhao Changle, when the Chen family was full of people and Liu Zhixian, who was hurriedly called, appeared at the dock, those militia groups suddenly lost their last insistence, and at this moment, after the consent of Gongsun Jian, the Chu family and the Shen family also sent representatives to the dock to call away their children. Only more than a dozen people from the Chen family saw that the general trend was gone, and took advantage of the chaos to jump into the river and break through. Gongsun Jian didn't send anyone to chase and kill, not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't do it too late. Although Ding Feng took the initiative to ask for help, seeing that the other party had already arrived on the other side, Gongsun Jian could only sigh and refuse Ding Feng's request.
Let's go, let's go. In this way, the capital will be lively. It depends on whether His Majesty the Emperor Yue has the courage to really tear his face with the public at this time. Ma Dan, he actually dares to calculate Lao Tzu, and now he will also let you taste the taste of headaches.
Let Xie Wu lead the people to disarm the militia, and then all of them were disbanded. The organization of people to unload all the salt loaded on the cargo ships moored at the wharf and store them in the warehouse. By the time I was done, it was already past noon. I feel unusually tired at will, but it's far from time to rest.
After getting the dock, Gongsun Jian rushed to Chen's house with Liu Zhixian non-stop. As soon as he entered the door, Liu Zhixian was frightened by the blood all over the ground and the severed limbs and stumps that had not yet had time to clean up, and his face was pale and vomiting. finally relieved himself, but he heard Gongsun Jian say to him: "Lord County Commander, this is the end of what the lower officials can help you." The tyrant of Linshui County has been wiped out, and although the Chu family and the Shen family dare not say that they will be obedient from now on, they will not dare to be the same as before for the time being. Next, it's up to you to see what you do. I can lend you Lao Qi and his subordinates for the time being, and I can also divide thirty percent of the Chen family's money to give to adults, as for how to use it, it is your own business. In addition, I don't want the Chen family's fields, manors and shops, and they are all at your disposal. ”
"This ......" Liu Dayuan was stunned when he heard Gongsun Jian's words. He never thought that Gongsun Jian would be so talkative, and he would actually put such a large amount of money and property in his hands. But when you think about it, isn't this a hot potato? But now in the eyes of outsiders, he is already a person on the same path as Gongsun Jian, and if he wants to take himself out, I'm afraid no one will believe it. What's more, at dawn, Gongsun Jian found himself and showed the evidence that the Chen family had colluded with the Huangnigang bandits for many years, plus the account books of the smuggling of Wu goods that he had just copied from the Chen family. After thinking for a moment, Liu Dayuan gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Lieutenant Gongxian, the people of Linshui County have been oppressed by several families for a long time, and although this official is a county parent official, he has not been able to avenge their grievances, and he is already extremely ashamed. Today is already like this, so there is nothing to shirk from this official. The money and the land shall be returned to the people who have been exploited. From now on, I hope that the county lieutenant can continue to help his own officials and work together to govern this Linshui County. ”
With that, Liu Dayuan bowed towards Gongsun Jian and threw it to the ground. And Gongsun Jian hurriedly dodged away, saying that the old parents were polite, and he didn't dare to wait for polite words. In his heart, he secretly said that although this Liu Dayuan has been unsuccessful in officialdom for more than ten years, he is not a fool. actually understood that at this time, he had to tie himself to him. But it doesn't matter, it's up to him what he does next. Anyway, I don't have much interest in people's livelihood governance, and I don't know much about it. Let's take a look at it first.
After a polite exchange, Gongsun Jian opened his mouth to get down to business.
"My lord, although the Chen family has been destroyed now, the matter is not over yet. And there are many of the Chu family and the Shen family, as well as the Wu family who has never shown up. The relationship between the Chen family in Shangjing alone is enough for us to drink a pot. Therefore, the adults should make plans in advance, and quickly submit these charges of the Chen family to the capital, so that His Majesty and the hundred officials will know. ”
Hearing this, Liu Dayuan nodded and said, "Lieutenant Gongxian, this official knows what to do next." You can rest assured about this. Although the official has been an official for almost 20 years, there are still some old friends in Beijing who are in the same year. Moreover, the evidence of what the Chen family committed is conclusive, so the court cannot believe it. However, the official still hopes that the county lieutenant can also be named and inform the old minister of the matter. ”
Those who can be officials in this era are not fools, and Liu Dayuan's words couldn't be clearer. Blessed to enjoy together, but there is a responsibility to bear together, your Gongsun Jian is not like a black cauldron for me to carry alone. Besides, there is a public family behind you, but there is no one in my court.
In this regard, Gongsun Jian naturally agreed. Just when the two reached all the deals and began to let people start counting all the Chen family's belongings, Qi Shi hurriedly ran over and reported to Gongsun Jian in a slightly panicked manner: "My lord, it's not good. The people of the Chu family ran away. ”
"Oh? How so? Aren't there brothers who keep an eye on them all the time? ”
"Who knew that the old ghost of the Chu family would be so cunning, and the family actually built a tunnel directly to the outside of the city. This was also discovered by a brother by accident. Qi Shi hurriedly explained: "Coincidentally, let's put a few fires before dawn, and the Chu family will be honest." Later, he kindly invited the brothers in for tea. There was a brother who drank too much water and went to the toilet, but accidentally found that there was a burned place in the Chu family, and there was no trace of water on the ground after the fire was extinguished. So he came back curiously and told everyone about the strange thing, and the villain immediately realized that something was wrong when he heard it. Take someone to investigate, and there is actually a tunnel underneath. When the people of the Chu family gathered again, they found that the old man Chu and several sisters-in-law in the family were all gone. ”
"Oh?" After listening to Qi Shi's report, Gongsun Jian couldn't help frowning. The Chu family ran away with the wealth they had accumulated over the years? Could it be because the fate of the Chen family scared them?
"What about the people of the Fan family?" Gongsun Jian opened his mouth and asked Qi Shi.
