Verse 163 wept away, up
If you can't see through the secret of the reed piles on the rocky beach, the Qin team will have no fun.
The thieves were staring at the large houses in the mountains that seemed to be uninhabited, suspecting that these houses used to be factories in Liangshan, and now they were most likely used as powerful secret places for raising soldiers and facilitating the hiding of soldiers. But I found an excuse to check inside, but I found that it was empty, not to mention soldiers, even machinery or other supporting things for living in the house.
Along the way, under various pretexts or simply on his own, he went to reconnoiter the big houses that could accommodate large troops, but he saw no sign except for the deserted and dusty emptiness.
The thieves were convinced in their hearts that Liangshan should be strongly armed, otherwise it would be impossible to deal with so many bandits. Cangzhao people are brave and able to fight, but in the end, they are people, no matter how powerful they are, it is impossible to fight dozens of them at a time, otherwise this summer will not be after the Liao army continues to attack with heavy troops, the so-called indestructible Zhao Zhuang is still broken, and the people are almost dead, which fully proves that there is nothing magical about the Cangzhao people, that is, the combat effectiveness of people within the normal range is not invincible.
After the suspicion of the empty house, they set their sights on the mountain nests and other places that were convenient for Tibetans, but naturally they found nothing.
This is even more surprising.
One by one, they wondered where Liang Shan could hide people.
Did the boats hide in the water, or did they take advantage of the vast mountainous area and the lack of sight to move their troops to other places and play cat hunting with the Qincha team?
It seems unlikely that the boat would be hidden in the water.
After all, from the top of the mountain, you can look far away, and you can see if there are many ships on the water.
In fact, there are not many boats in Yangsan, and large ships are even rarer, mainly light and small boats.
Of course, it could also be hidden farther in the water than far into the water.
After all, Liangshanbo is too big. It's entirely possible.
However, it is inconvenient to live for a long time when moored on the water. Mosquitoes alone are enough. It's hard to survive overnight.
In the morning, the Qin team saw that Wan Qiaoxiao and Luo Ruji, who were trapped at the dock, had been stung into something in just one night.
The autumn mosquitoes in the wilderness are terrifying, not to mention the staggering number of mosquitoes, and their toxicity and aggression are also amazing.
Wan Qiao's and Luo Ruji's pig's heads are not human, and they are scared to death.
I don't know what the two of them suffered last night and how they survived this night.
The thieves shuddered at the thought of this, glad that they were not punished at the docks.
In such a comparison, it is not so unacceptable to look at the unsatisfactory food and housing.
Looking back at the Liangshan people calmly, no matter which one of them is not at all concerned about the appearance of the Qin team staying in Liangshan to investigate, it is impossible to deceive people, thinking about the transfer of the fleet and the armament to avoid reconnaissance in the water, it seems that it can also be ruled out.
Otherwise, with the degree of unity and mutual care of the people of Liangshan, it is impossible to see the accomplices suffering outside with peace of mind.
With the arrogance of the people of Liangshan, they are not afraid of the court's condemnation at all, and probably will not deliberately avoid the Qin team in such a careful way of torturing their own people.
In the face of surprise inspections, there are no good tactics available, and the people of Liangshan can distribute their weapons all over Liangshan in a loud and open manner, as if they were secretly displayed, whatever the imperial court does.
In this way, the only possibility left is to spread the troops somewhere in the mountains and hide and hide with the Qin team.
After enough shopping, too tired to work, Xue Bi led the team back to the residence from another way to have lunch and rest, did not go up the mountain again in the afternoon, and continued to rest, saying that it would continue tomorrow morning.
Tian Shizhong also behaved very honestly, did not follow the mountain, nor did he wait for the opportunity to drill, only walked around the Yazui Beach at will to watch the scenery here, and rested quietly in the afternoon.
They're very laid-back.
Wan Qiaoqiao and Luo Ruji were so bitter that they couldn't commit suicide to end this foreign crime.
Not to mention the pain and hunger that has not eaten a drop of rice since arriving in Liangshan, last night the crazy autumn mosquitoes besieged them one by one and stung them all night.
The kind of heartache that touches the wound if you scratch it, and the itching that is not human can bear if you don't scratch, so that the two of them are weak and have to fight hard to catch the mosquitoes all night.
He cried, begged for mercy, repented, scolded himself for not being human with a toothless mouth, and strongly demanded that he would be willing to go bankrupt in exchange for money to atone for his sins, but the people who guarded him were indifferent.
After going through hell, I finally survived until dawn the next day, the mosquito army retreated, and the two of them were paralyzed there as if they were dead, and when they arrived at this point, they couldn't care about Liangshan's infinite resentment and revenge plan in their hearts, and they didn't have the heart to think about that anymore.
It's just that those who can be the great traitors of history are selfish and cherish themselves, no matter how painful and uncomfortable they are, they will not be willing to commit suicide like heroes or ordinary people who despise their lives, and the two have shown a tenacious spirit of survival in the disaster, and they will persist as long as there is a glimmer of hope.
Only by persevering to the end can we continue to enjoy the taste of being an official and have a chance to take revenge.
When the people of Liangshan agreed to give them the opportunity to exchange their lives for money, the two were overjoyed, and without the strong resistance they had yesterday, they tried to write letters with their swollen eyes open, and the people of Liangshan were transferred from the people of Liangshan to the officers and soldiers of Dongchang Mansion who were being convicted and guarding the east bank of Liangshanbo.
Zhang Ganban on the other side is just a little person who is used to being a tiger and doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, and after experiencing this torture, he is even more bearish, he will do whatever he wants, and he also wrote a ransom letter.
Wang Qinglong, the eunuch of Dongchang Mansion, paid the ransom for the prefect but did not return and was anxious and helpless, and he couldn't help but be surprised to learn that Liang Shan had taken the three thieves and played blackmail.
I was amazed that the people of Liangshan really dared to do it, and even the officials in the capital who were very hard in the backing dared to rectify it at will, but I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when I learned that Tian Shizhong was alive and well on business in Liangshan.
He didn't care if the three men lived or died.
It's good to die in Liangshan, Liangshan offends people more ruthlessly, and it will be more unlucky to be hated.
But he did not dare to intercept the letters, so he ordered his men to send them to various places according to their addresses. What will happen later, he will have to wait to see the show.
The ambushes of the state capitals surrounding Liangshanbo had already withdrawn.
If something was wrong with Liangshan, the river boats that the imperial court had prepared would quickly carry a large army to kill.
Yesterday, Xue Bi asked the people of Yangsan to send a letter of withdrawal and asked the Jeju government to prepare a hundred jars of good wine as imperial wine to send to Yangsan as a condolence, and it has been sent.
With the lessons of Dongchang Mansion in the past, the Jeju prefect did not dare to use disgusting methods in the drink.
He also had no grudge against Liang Shan, but only dealt with Liang Shan according to the situation.
Zhang Ganban wants to pay Liangshan 100,000 yuan.
It doesn't matter if he's worth the price or not. Liang Shan asked for it, and was sure that someone would pay for it.
The letter was handed over to the governor of Yunzhou for help.
Yunzhou was taken aback when he received the letter.
He is Cai Jing's person, he knows how powerful it is, he never expected that Liang Shan would dare to treat the people of the Qin Mission's team like this, and things have fallen to such a point, so he is passive.
If Liang Shan interrogated Zhang Ganban and took the handle of Cai Jing's vicious attempt to frame Liang Shan, Wen Chenghou would make a big fuss, and the imperial court would not only clean up Cai Jing and give Cangzhao a fair explanation, but even the Cai Party, which was already seriously weakened, would definitely be taken advantage of the opportunity by the new forces of the DPRK and China to join forces to suppress and seize power, including local governors like him, all of whom would end badly.
He didn't dare to ignore the extortion without taking Zhang Ganban, and he was unwilling to bear the extortion alone, so he immediately notified his fellow party - the Cheng Governor of Dongping Mansion to jointly bear the money.
Cheng Governor Cheng Wanli is very honest now, and he is now frightened and anxious.
His baby girl occasionally went out shopping, but she mysteriously disappeared with the personal ring, and she couldn't find it, and she didn't have any important and valuable clues.
But Cheng Wanli knew in his heart that this must have something to do with Liang Shan, and it was Liang Shan's malicious warning to Liang Shan in retaliation for his previous suppression of bandits and other things.
The baby girl should be fine if she falls into the hands of Liang Shan.
Cangzhao's character is credible, even the notorious Cangliang Xiaobawang will not be so bad as to harm an innocent girl at will. As an official around Liangshan, he knew this very well.
But this time it was the girl who was taken captive. If he dares to mess around again, I'm afraid that someone will ask him for Cheng Wanli's head.
Killing a man who is guilty and vengeful, Liangshan people obviously will not be polite. must also have the ability to kill him and make the court unable to get the slightest evidence of the crime, and he died in vain.
Because the prefect of Cheng found that Zhao Zhongxin, the capital eunuch who had a grudge against Cangzhao, had been honest and settled down for a while recently, and no longer showed strong hostility and revenge against Liangshan.
It couldn't be any other reason.
It was designated that Zhao Zhongxin had suffered a big loss from Liangshan, and he had been deeply taught a lesson and even frightened, and he did not dare to be reckless.
Zhao Zhongxin is still a powerful general, Cheng Wanli pays himself for a weak civil official like himself, if the people of Liangshan want to clean it up, it is as easy as pinching the ants to death?
After getting the notice from Yunzhou, Cheng Wanli understood what Yunzhou meant, sneered and disdained, but still agreed to bear half of it, but privately went to hand over 50,000 yuan to the Liangshan North Shore Hotel, vaguely saying that in the past, the government was more benefited by Liangshan's business, but now Cangzhao is in trouble, he talks about conscience and friendship to reciprocate, and also asks Xiaobawang to be more considerate and take care of him.
Sure enough, the Liangshan people of the hotel laughed and praised the prefect's wisdom, and asked Cheng Wanli to rest assured, saying that those who should not suffer and be punished will not be unlucky, and it may not be a disaster to be good friends with Liangshan. People who see far are the winners.
The money was spent, Cheng Wanli was more aware of it, and his heart was a lot more stable, and he made up his mind not to mix with Doucang Zhao's dangerous events, and in the future, he would protect himself from Fengyuan.
At the request of the governor of Yunzhou, on the day the money was settled, Liang Shan handed over Zhang Gan's office.
The governor of Yunzhou was hospitable in Zhang Ganban's thousand thanks, coaxed this guy to get drunk with confidence, and asked about what happened in Liangshan, although he didn't ask about the people of Liangshan who interrogated Zhang Ganban and got the handle of Cai Jing's party, he still immediately secretly executed Zhang Ganban and buried it, completely cut off the witnesses, and it was useless to let Liang Shan have a testimony, and notified Cai Jing. Anyway, Zhang Gan is such a small person, even if he squeezes it dry, it is impossible for him to pay off 100,000 yuan, so he simply doesn't need to pay him back, and he has to end it with his life.
In fact, he was doing it too much.
Liang Shan didn't want to make a fuss about this matter at all, so he cleaned up the remnants of Cai Jing's party, so he let the old thief not give up, continued to toss the Great Song Dynasty and made Bai Shizhong upstart uncomfortable.
Wan Qiao's letter was to ask for Jeju Prefecture.
The prefect of this prefecture has a friendship with Bai Shi, and it can be regarded as a party of white ministers. Wan Qiaoyu came this time on the order of the backer Bai Shizhong, who was unlucky, and naturally asked for Jeju Mansion.
Luo Ruji begged to go to the same party in Puzhou, they were all Zhang Bangchang's people and should help.
It is also 100,000 per person.
The boss has a sum of money.
The two thieves were desperately corrupt and bribed as judicial officials, but the level was not high enough, the real power was not big enough, and they had not yet mixed up with the status of the Southern Song Dynasty when they framed Yue Fei, so they had to be filial piety and make all kinds of relationships, plus their own enjoyment, the expenses were not small every year, and it was easy to save less than 100,000 yuan of family funds, and it was not enough to accompany them all.
One of these two people is a middle-level official of the Criminal Department and the other is a middle-level official of Dali Temple, both of whom are key judicial points in the capital.
But the bigwigs in these two places did not immediately comply, but sent the distress letter and his own letter to the capital, and asked Bai Shizhong or Zhang Bangchang what they thought of the matter.
Bai and Zhang's grandfather-level bosses were even more surprised,
I never expected that the Cangzhao family would be arrogant to such an extent, and Liang Shan would dare to treat the second official like this.
Angered and angry, the two couldn't help but be a little frightened.
They sent people to Liangshan to try to make Liangshan appear disrespectful to the imperial court and even regarded as rebellious, so that the emperor hated the Cangzhao family even more. When the Cangzhao family can be cleaned up, the emperor will be more ruthless and quickly exterminate Cangzhao. Since then, the Great Song Dynasty has never had such a young and powerful opponent compete for the power of prime minister.
Zhao Ji, the emperor's ears, is too soft, and his mind is difficult to decide, he hates Zhao Gonglian today, and he may like it very much. If Zhao Gonglian does not die, the two thieves will not rest assured.
But this plan went bankrupt, and people were seized and seized by Liang Shan like criminals, which was self-defeating, what should I do?
They didn't dare to put this matter on the emperor's account to cure Liangshan's crimes.
You must know that this era is not like that of later generations, and the director and prime minister of the capital have arranged for you, the deputy director, to go on a business trip to other places, and you can fly freely.
Officials in the capital, especially those with status and real power, cannot go out of Beijing casually without a purpose.
It is not possible for the prime minister to send him privately, and that is also a private act of violating discipline. Especially in such an important matter as the trip to Liangshan, it is a big crime to deceive the king.
Even local officials are not allowed to work in tandem. You can't be an official here, but you have no intention of running around in other state capitals.
You must know that in this era, during a big holiday like the New Year's Festival, officials can't go back to their hometowns and relatives elsewhere without a purpose.
In this regard, the imperial court is very tightly controlled, but being an official is not as free as being a common people.
Bai Shizhong and Zhang Bangchang were afraid that Zhao Gonglian would seize on this point and make trouble and make trouble, endangering their power and even their future.
Some regretted it, but it didn't work.
Seeing Liangshan's blackmail, this is a good omen.
If you ask for money, you probably won't get into trouble with the emperor.
It can also be seen that Cangzhao is indeed bankrupt and crazy, but he is willing to give up such a good opportunity for political struggle to make money.
The two thieves hurriedly replied to thank the two local officials, saying that they could meet Liangshan's requirements, and as for the money paid by the two governments, they would think of repaying it.
Naturally, it is impossible for them to pay for it themselves.
If Wan Qian Luo Ruji can return to the capital safely, he will have to sell his property to pay off his debts, and he will mess up the affairs of the prime minister, and the official will not have to be the official, and he will be clean and worry-free if he dies.
In this way, Liangshan collected another 200,000 yuan, but did not release the two thieves. Let the two people, who had been delayed by writing to the capital and suffering for a few more days, continue to sleep on the dock to feed the mosquitoes.
According to Zhao Laoer's thoughts, Liang Shan made up his mind as long as the two thieves did not die in Liangshan. We will never let the two thieves have an image to return to Beijing and become an official with dignity, which will become a great disaster. 8)
