Chapter 61: Fifth Brother
The fifth brother was originally from Guangning, after the fall of Guangning, he was the only one left in the family, because he had a hatred for the Tartars, he volunteered to become an eyeliner of Jinyiwei, and then secretly sneaked back to Liaoyang.
The fifth brother used to be a vegetable seller in Guangning, but when he arrived in Liaoyang, he started his old business in order to hide people's eyes.
At the beginning, the online line also gave some tasks and activity funds from time to time, but then the situation was turbulent, the eunuch party and the Donglin party were hot, and the east factory gradually rose, and after Luo Sigong was driven home, Jinyiwei also declined.
So, the fifth brother who was lurking in Liaoyang had no one to contact him for many years, and the funds were spent, and he was forced to make a living, so the fifth brother concentrated on manipulating the business of selling vegetables.
Because he was trained by Jinyiwei, and he put life and death aside, the fifth brother was bold and careful, and he dared to do a lot of business that others didn't dare to take.
The Tartars persecuted the Ming people too much, and it was good for the Ming people in the city to eat, but it was impossible to eat vegetables, so his customers were all powerful people in the city, and it was not uncommon for them to be beaten and scolded, and not to give money.
But these fifth brothers endured it, because he wanted to obtain information, compared to his dead wife and children, every day he was alive now was earned, all for revenge.
Over time, many farmers around Liaoyang City were his suppliers, and he himself delivered food to several large households in the city.
The fifth brother sells vegetables not to make money, but to get more information, to fight for others, and the business is getting bigger and bigger.
Many Tartar magnates in the city asked him to deliver food, and even the mansions of Azig and Li Yongfang were his patrons.
The fifth brother made money, did not buy a house or land, and basically used it to relieve the poor neighbors in Liaoyang City, which also made the fifth brother very comfortable in this area, which made it easier for him to collect intelligence.
Although the business is doing well, the fifth brother is not very happy, because he has not contacted him for several years.
It wasn't until two months ago that he saw that familiar sign again on the courtyard wall of the blind bear's house around the corner of the alley.
After repeated confirmations, the fifth brother was ecstatic, not only got in touch with the upline again, but also learned about the old man's return to power.
Half a month ago, the fifth brother received a new task.
The fifth brother, who was very well-connected in Liaoyang City, did not make much effort, and quickly mastered the number of Tartar soldiers in Liaoyang City, and sent the information out in time.
"Fifth brother, this is the activity fund and reward."
The brocade-clothed man pushed a small bag of gold and silver in front of the fifth brother.
"I have silver, and I won't hide it from my lords, I have really made some money selling vegetables over the years, so I will give them to the adults."
The fifth brother excused himself with some embarrassment.
"That's your own silver, this is your activity funds and rewards, one yard to one yard, and this silver is given by His Majesty, I don't dare to ask for it, besides, my share, Your Majesty has already given it, if I take you again, maybe I won't wait to kill the Tartars, and I will fall to the ground first."
As he spoke, the brocade-clothed guard man looked out the door, and then said.
"It's not the same as before, Your Majesty is very generous to those of us who are born and die, and everyone gives enough."
"But the ugly words are said in the front, if you are not satisfied, greedy for the silver of the Mo men, then it will kill the head, a few people who don't know what to do a while ago, and now the grave grass is old."
When the fifth brother heard this, he was very surprised, and then opened the bag of gold and silver, and suddenly he was a little dazzled.
I saw that in the middle of a small pile of broken silver, there were a few ingots of gold and silver ingots, and the fifth brother estimated that there were more than 100 taels.
Rao is fifth brother made some money selling vegetables, but he also felt strange like so much gold and silver at one time.
"Haha, Your Majesty is generous."
The fifth brother nodded when he heard this, and said in his heart: These thousand households are estimated to be more than mine, no wonder they can't look down on this silver.
"Your Majesty said, for the sake of safety, we don't often contact these people behind enemy lines, maybe I don't know when I will contact you next time, I will give more when I can, he doesn't know if the silver can be channeled, but sometimes money can save lives."
The thousand households said the holy oracle he heard from the upper line, but the fifth brother burst into tears when he heard it.
No wonder everyone says that the newly enthroned Ming Emperor is a god descending from heaven, how can this majesty be able to say to my heart like this. ’
The Qianhu official looked at the expression of the fifth brother, and smiled in his heart, when he heard His Majesty's holy message from his upline, he was also moved.
"I'll tell you another good news, Li Yongfang's dog thief was captured alive by our Ming army, and that Azig was also caught."
When the fifth brother heard this, he chuckled in his heart, and a big stone that had been pressed in his heart for many years seemed to be removed in an instant.
The fifth brother's family was slaughtered by the Tartars after the defeat of Guangning, so he hated Li Yongfang, who plotted against Sun Degong in the Battle of Guangning, and of course he hated Sun Degong even more.
At this time, when he heard that the big traitor Li Yongfang was captured alive, the fifth brother suddenly felt a little more transparent in his heart.
He has been to Li Yongfang's house many times to deliver food, and he has also thought about assassination, but he has no chance, and every time he thinks about it, he often feels ashamed of his wife and children who died tragically.
At this time, when he learned that the old thief had been caught, the fifth brother's tears flowed instantly.
"You coward, you will be happy to be like this when you catch a little Baylor, Your Majesty said, sooner or later, let the chief of Nanu give a martyrdom to our soldiers and civilians who died tragically in Liaodong."
Speaking of this, the Qianhu official got up and patted the fifth brother on the shoulder, and then said.
"Brother, live well, protect yourself, let's wait for that day together."
Coming out of the house, the fifth brother returned to his small courtyard, closed the door, and entered a secret room.
Lighting the candles, I saw several tablets on the wall of the secret room, which were the fifth brother's wife and children.
"Xiuniang, Sister Qiao'er, Sister Yun'er, Brother Sheng'er, I will tell you a great news today, Li Yongfang's dog thief and Azigena Tartar were captured alive by our Ming army, and they will definitely be killed alive if they are brought back to the capital."
The fifth brother was burning paper while muttering.
"Then you will have to watch from heaven and see what the beast is doing before it dies."
"Alas, it's all to blame Daddy for being incompetent at the time, he couldn't save your mother, don't hate Daddy, Dad still has to be an eyeliner for our Ming Army to kill Liaodong, and after His Majesty leads the army to kill the little slave chief and recover Liaodong, Daddy will come to accompany you at that time, you have to wait for Dad, you must wait for Dad."
As the fifth brother spoke, tears fell on the fire.
The fifth brother didn't know how many tears he shed today, and at this time there was no one around, so the fifth brother hugged the tablet of the mother in his arms and cried loudly.
With a stick of incense, the fifth brother walked out of the secret room, and his face returned to his usual expression, but there was a little firmness in his eyes that were calm in the past.
