These five people were taken into five abandoned houses by Gu Xining's people, and after some interrogation, except for asking about some things about beating the people into recruits and extorting money or bullying men and women, they didn't ask about the transfer of grain and rice.

"You haven't cut your tongue yet, have you?" Gu Xining realized that these people avoided the important and prepared to interrogate them again.

"The boss didn't speak, we haven't done it yet!"

Gu Xining took a few steps back and forth, "Cut off one tongue first, and then show it to the others, and ask them if they want to be buried here or go home!" ”

After some scare, the other four catchers were finally willing to say something about the transfer of grain and rice.

The four of them said some things incoherently, such as what the old man at the street stall had said, and then the deduction of the wages of the people's workers, and the granary on the wharf was full of bran brown rice, and the high-quality rice was never directly unloaded in Bianzhou.

Hearing this, Gu Xining thought they were lying, "There are obviously so many high-quality rice for sale in Bianzhou City, and there is high-quality rice in the rice shop I saw earlier!" ”

"Grandpa, we don't dare to lie to you, these high-grade rice are all shipped from the capital and Banzhu!"

"Isn't it a cost to unload and sell rice directly in Bianzhou? Why bother? Am I a fool to be a grandfather? ”

The four catch fast kowtow like pounding garlic, "Grandpa, if the high-quality rice is unloaded locally, it will not be able to sell the rice price in the capital, and the rice shop is actually selling medium rice, and it will become the first-class rice from the capital to Bianzhou!" ”

"Bastard, I'm also a person who has eaten fine rice, don't I know fine rice?"

"Grandpa, don't hide it from your old man, even the emperor may not eat high-quality rice, the real high-quality rice has never been sold at all!"

Gu Xining stood on the spot, and after a while he continued to ask, "Where is the high-quality rice that is paid tribute from all over the country every year?" ”

"This, it is said that the big man in the court got it, and it was sold to the Yu country in the north!"

The brown rice in the granary of Bianzhou is less than 500,000 stones, but the high-grade rice that can be registered is enough to have 1 million stones.

"Have you ever seen real fine rice?"

The four catchers nodded again and again, "I got a small bag from the Yamen in transit, and I didn't want to eat it, and after a few glances, I sold it on the black market!" ”

"How much can you sell for on the black market?" Gu Xining was a little curious, and at the same time wanted to confirm what the old man said.

"The price on the black market is 20% lower than that in the rice shop, but only we dare to sell it!"

The prices on the black market are cheaper than those in the rice shop, and the most ridiculous thing in the world is in front of Gu Xining's eyes.

"By the way, the people of Yu in the north are not used to eating corn and rice, what do they do when they buy high-quality rice? You'd better be honest! ”

"Grandpa, what we said is the truth, the people of Yu do not eat rice and corn, but horses eat corn, and the better the corn, the better the horse's endurance!"

A thought flashed through Gu Xining's head, and he immediately asked, "Where did the people of the Yu country buy high-quality rice from?" The amount of corn fed to horses is not comparable to what humans eat! As far as I know, Yu Guo doesn't have so much money! I can't afford to buy these hundreds of thousands of stone high-quality rice every year to feed the horses! ”

"This, we don't know, and no one dares to ask, you are a powerful person, even you don't know, how can we little minions know?"

Gu Xining looked at the four of them, not like they were lying, so he closed his eyes and said, "Cut your tongue!" Stunk! ”

Without waiting for the four catchers to beg for mercy and struggle, the four Jin Liangwei quickly cut off the tongues of the catchers, and then knocked out without waiting for them to scream.

The problem is not only the problem of greedy ink for the transportation of the Cao River, Gu Xining's biggest concern is that someone is secretly financing the enemy, and there is also the use of the grain and rice business to make the people resentful of the court and the emperor.

It's not just about asking for money, it's about life!

Gu Xining decided to go straight to the yamen of the transfer envoy and go to meet the transfer envoy for a while.

The Bianzhou transshipment led to the establishment of the yamen on a high ground on the south bank of the Bianhe River, supposedly to avoid flooding.

When Gu Xining led people to the bottom of the highland, he found that the highland was artificially piled up, and the soil and stones dozens of zhang high were piled up on the flat ground, trees were planted, and the yamen was transported high, like a temple.

There are 20 soldiers guarding the entrance, and there is an archway, and the plaque on the archway reads "honest and selfless".

Seeing that Gu Xining was going to bring people in, the soldiers surrounded him, "The transfer envoy is important, no trespass!" ”

Gu Xining took out his waist card, "Jin Liangwei kills, and those who dare to block it die!" ”

The words have been spoken, and it is too late to take them back, maybe Gu Xining usually kills too many people, and he was going to say that Jin Liangwei was doing things, but the exit turned out to be murder.

Daliang had heard of Jin Liangwei's deeds and knew that this was the emperor

The assassination team under the emperor's hands has ruthless killing methods, but not many people have seen it.

Especially when thirty-one people came at once, claiming to be Jin Liangwei, this is too fake.

"Who are the bandits, who dare to pretend to be Jin Liangwei in broad daylight, and if they come, they will all be killed!"

The soldiers guarding the gate were not good at stubble, and they were arrayed while beating gongs to bring in reinforcements from all around.

Gu Xining saw birds flying out of the woods opposite, and there was a lot of movement, and he knew that there were many guards here, but now they were ready to send them.

"Dare to attack Jin Liangwei! It's just the other way around! Not a single mouth is left alive! ”

Gu Xining flew and pierced the throat of the guard who took the lead with a single sword, and the rest of Jin Liangwei didn't talk nonsense, took out their own special weapons and kept killing them at the top of the mountain.

Outside the archway, more and more people accumulate, and the people are not afraid of things, and they have come to see the excitement.

There were still many people applauding, Gu Xining had an idea and shouted, "I am ordered to raid the transfer envoy Yamen, and the people have grievances and revenge!" ”

Originally, it was already a mistake to do it at the gate of the transfer envoy, but there was no way to remedy it, only to make things bigger, and maybe there was a glimmer of life.

Gu Xining knew in his heart, and his subordinates also knew that once he could incite the people to get involved, it would be enough to say afterwards that the people's grievances were boiling and the yamen was impacted.

However, Gu Xining overestimated these ordinary people, and after this sentence was shouted, everyone applauded, but none of them crossed the archway.

Now only those who survive have the right to speak, Gu Xining's eyes were blood-red, and he flashed the interception of several soldiers and went to the red official office at the top.

The rest of Jin Liangwei also followed Gu Xining closely, abandoned these vulnerable soldiers, and divided into two teams and surrounded the official office.

The door of this official office was open, and the sound of chanting sutras and worshipping the Buddha came from inside, Gu Xining wondered if he was mistaken, and only heard someone talking inside.

"My lord, it's not good. There's a gang of thieves! Brothers can't stop it! ”

"Panic what! With the blessing of the Buddha, the thief will put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha when he comes! ”

It seems that there is nothing wrong here, Gu Xining did not go to the main gate, for fear of an ambush, and went in over the wall to see a middle-aged man wearing a robe and holding his hair in a bun sitting in front of an old monk chanting words.

The old monk saw Gu Xining and smiled slightly, "The donor is very skilled, but it's a pity that he didn't go the right way!" Now that you're here, grab a cup of tea and go! ”

As soon as the words fell, he threw the teacup next to him towards Gu Xining, Gu Xining dodged sideways, and the outer edge of the teacup was embedded in the pillar.

"The master's martial arts are so superb, why do you want to help the torture and create so many karmic obstacles?" Gu Xining walked forward vigilantly.

"I am a Buddha with compassion, everyone has karma, and it is precisely because I have too many karma that I come here to do good deeds! The donor's murderous spirit is too heavy, you might as well learn from me to cut my hair as a monk and take refuge in my Buddha! ”

The old monk popped out another Buddha bead in front of him, Gu Xining couldn't dodge it and had to swing his sword to block, the soft sword shook violently a few times, and the Buddha bead bounced into the floor tiles again.

"Master, if every sinner can take refuge in Buddhism and escape punishment, then wouldn't everyone in this world be able to kill people and set fires before becoming a monk? I think the master's murder is far superior to mine! ”

At this time, the middle-aged man turned around and folded his hands: "What did you do when you broke into this transfer envoy yamen today?" If you lack money or food, I can give it to you! But if you kill someone, you have to stay and atone for your sins! The Buddha is tolerant and will definitely be able to transform you! ”

"You're the transporter? As an official of the imperial court, you didn't wear official clothes, and turned this official office into a Buddhist temple, are you guilty? ”

"The Buddha is above, helping the people of the world, whether I wear or not wear this thing outside my body does not prevent me from saving the people of the world! There is a Buddha in my heart, whether this official office is or not! ”

Gu Xining never expected that the transfer envoy sent by the imperial court would become a Buddhist believer, and he did all the bad things, and kept saying that he would save the world.

"Let me ask you, do you know that there is not a single real high-grade rice in Bianzhou City, and the rice shop merchants collude with the transfer envoy Yamen to resell rice coupons for huge profits!"

"I know all that, that's why I chant the Buddha day and night! to take away my sins! ”

This answer also surprised Gu Xining, he thought that the other party would not admit it, but the transfer made him admit it generously.

"Then in that case, I'm going to take you back to the capital for questioning!"

The old monk jumped up from the futon and jumped in front of the transfer envoy, "Don't be presumptuous in front of the Buddha!" Don't hurt Lord Xiao! ”

Where is Gu Xining willing to stop, swinging his sword directly to the old monk, the old monk clamped Gu Xining's soft sword with both hands, "You guys take Lord Xiao and leave!" ”

A few little monks came out together to carry the robed Lord Xiao and walked out, and as soon as they reached the door, they were intercepted by Gu Xining's subordinates.

The little monks were no match for Jin Liangwei, and they fell in a pool of blood in less than a moment.

The old monk shouted angrily and broke Gu Xining's soft sword, and then slapped his palms towards Gu Xining.

Gu Xining was too late to dodge, and the clothes on his left shoulder had been smashed, so he had to abandon the broken sword and run out of the door.

The rest of Jin Liangwei saw that the old monk was chasing Gu Xining like crazy, so he rushed up and beckoned the iron thorns, meteor hammers, short knives, one-handed axes, and lime powder in his hands.

Although the old monk's martial arts were higher than each of them, where was Jin Liangwei's opponent who was a professional murderer, he was quickly knocked to the ground.

That Lord Xiao sat on the ground and cried, "O injustice! Unjust! Master Wynne, I hurt you! ”

"You've killed a lot of people! This old monk is nothing but your accomplice! Take! Everyone else will be killed! ”

"You can't kill people at will! Murder is recompensable! ”

"Hehe, retribution, or your ancestors have retribution, and then it will be our turn! I've killed enough people, and I'm not afraid of retribution! ”

When this Lord Xiao was brought to the archway, the transfer envoy from the servants to the rest of the officials in the yamen were slaughtered, and Jin Liangwei always acted cleanly.

I thought that the common people would continue to watch the excitement, but at this time, they knelt down towards this Lord Xiao, and a few bold ones threw stones and clods at Gu Xining and them.

"Let go of Lord Xiao! You can't kill Lord Xiao! ”

"Whoever wants to take away Lord Xiao, we will fight with him!"

"You can't catch Lord Xiao! He's a good guy! ”

This was out of Gu Xining's surprise, "Lord Xiao, what a good means, it can incite the people, do you think we won't dare to touch you like this?" ”

This Lord Xiao wiped away his tears, "I just beg you to stop killing people!" Folks! Don't mess with them, let them take me away! They really dare to kill people, and they have killed all the people in the yamen! ”

"Good! Good! Good! Well done! But you just can't take Lord Xiao away! ”

"They deserve to die, but Lord Xiao is not guilty!"

"You can't catch Lord Xiao!"

Gu Xining realized that this Lord Xiao might really be a good official, but the matter has come to this point, and if he is caught by mistake, he can only be arrested first, and now that he is released, he will seek death!

Thinking of this, Gu Xining immediately untied the ropes on Lord Xiao's body, "Everyone, Lord Xiao is under the control of traitors here, and the imperial court specially ordered us to find out the truth, we are afraid that a traitor will harm Lord Xiao halfway, so we made this decision!" Don't worry, Lord Xiao is a good official and a clean official, and we won't hurt him! ”

"You don't fool us! Is there a sword or rope to protect a man? You're clearly here to arrest people! ”

"That's right, they killed people and killed people, and then blamed all the bad things on Lord Xiao! No way! It's a big deal to fight with them, and you must not let them take Master Xiao away! ”

Gu Xining patted Lord Xiao on the shoulder, "Lord Xiao, let's talk about it, I, Gu Xining, guarantee that you will be fine when you arrive in the capital!" ”

"I, Xiao Yan, am not stupid, I have nothing to do, you don't count! As long as you don't do anything to the people, I'll deal with what happened just now! ”

Xiao Yan, who was still crying before, was like a different person at this time, cleared his throat and stretched out his hands, "Folks, what they said is true!" You also know that my Xiao family is the first family of Daliang, although I am a poor bastard, but my people will keep me! You can rest assured, I, Xiao Yan, am sorry for you all these years, and I haven't done a good job in the imperial court! You can still treat me like this, Xiao is already grateful! ”

"Lord Xiao, you are a good official, if you go to the capital, they dare to convict you, we will go to the capital!"

"Yes, Lord Xiao must not be fine!"

"Lord Xiao, we are waiting for you to come back in Bianzhou!"

After sending the people, Gu Xining took Xiao Yan out of the city, and the Taishou in the city rushed over with people when he heard about it, but he didn't dare to stop him.

The soldiers and horses of Bianzhou City are not as powerful as the guards of the Yamen who are transferred, and even the guards of the Yamen are wiped out in less than half an hour, not to mention these temporarily hired soldiers, who do not want to die unexpectedly, so they have to follow a long way before returning.

The officials killed each other, but there was no chaos in the city, not that the people kept to themselves, but that the order in the city was maintained by the head of Bianzhou City.

The chief of the Cao Gong sounded famous, but in fact he was not an official of the Yamen of the transfer envoy, but one of the employees of the transportation supervision office under the transfer envoy.

Naturally, a hired worker cannot sit in the yamen, and the chief of the cao workers usually lives on the wharf, and is in charge of the 8,000 people, the cao workers, the coachmen, the ship's owners, the warehouse, and so on.

The chief engineer is still there, the dock is safe, business is doing as usual, and naturally no one is making trouble.
