About half an hour later

It is still a box on the second floor of the Fuman Building

Meng Gong, who seemed to be more than ten years old in an instant, trembled and arched his hand to Huang Dahu and Yan Kui, turned around and left the room, and before going downstairs, he glanced at his second son Meng Xiang, who was also escorted away by two militiamen.

Old Meng Tou glanced at his son deeply, gritted his teeth, and walked out of Fumanlou without looking back.

Almost as soon as Meng Gong stepped out of the door, He Chun, who had been staring at his figure at the corner of the second floor, waved his hand when he saw this, and immediately more than a dozen men in civilian clothes appeared from all over the hall and outside, quietly following behind Meng Gong.

At the same time, two militiamen were also sent out to report the news, and there were two teams of men and horses waiting for orders near Mengfu............

Inside the box

Yan Kui looked at Huang Dahu, who was a little melancholy, and smiled faintly: "Big brother, what's the matter, you have moved your heart of compassion?" ”

"Compassion can't be talked about."

Huang Dahu waved his hand, and grinned inexplicably: "I'm not afraid of your jokes, I've been fighting with this old thing openly and secretly for several years, and I've been looking for an opportunity to clean him up completely."

Although I got what I wanted today, looking at the desolate scene of the old thing, I can't help but feel a little sad in my heart, and in the future, you say that I will follow in his footsteps. ”

Yan Kui looked at Huang Dahu, who was full of emotion, and wanted to persuade a few words, but he didn't know where to speak, so he finally had to pat him on the shoulder to show comfort.

…………

Fortunately, Huang Dahu is not a tangled character, and he quickly recovered his mood, looked at Yan Kui and asked, "What should we do next." ”

"Wait."

Yan Kui said succinctly: "When Meng Xiancheng finishes doing it according to our words, we can close the net." ”

Huang Dahu nodded, and then suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but smile and praise: "Brother, this trick is clever, this time you can successfully raise the food and salary of the Qinghukou garrison, you should be the first to take the lead." ”

Yan Kui shook his head: "I have only made a beginning in this matter, and the one who really gave advice was my subordinate Bo Xu Yu." ”

Speaking of which, Yan Kui saw that it was still early, and they still had to wait for Meng Gong to finish their work, so he simply opened his mouth and chatted with Huang Dahu about the inside story, as soon as he came to pass the time, and by the way, he also had the intention of asking for merit for Xu Yu.

Huang Dahu had no choice, ordered the outside to add tea and snacks, and started the audience with great interest.

…………

About ten days ago, before the Black Wind Ridge descended the mountain to ransack the village.

Yan Kui received a secret report from his subordinates that someone in the city had a grain deal with Heifengling, and after investigation, it was very likely that it was the Meng family's hundred rice orchards, and Yan Kui was immediately furious at that time.

He led his brothers to kill the bandits desperately, and there were even people who stabbed him in the back and collaborated with the bandits.

Yan Kui immediately prepared to report to Hua Wenzheng, and then led the troops to wipe out the Meng family to set the record straight.

However, the furious Yan Kui was stopped by Xu Yu, Xu Dacaizi believed that Yan Kui did not have substantial evidence of the Meng family's bandits in his hands at that time, and he would definitely not be able to convict the Meng family with just a tip-off report, but would startle the snake and let the Meng family stop and escape the catastrophe.

Therefore, Xu Yu persuaded Yan Kui to stay put, since the Meng family took such a big risk to sell grain to bandits, it would definitely not be just a one-shot deal, and it was likely that they would trade with Heifengling again in the future, and they would completely wait for their transaction to capture people in one fell swoop.

At that time, the human and material evidence will be there, and no matter how the Meng family denies it, it will be uprooted.

Yan Kui was persuaded by Xu Yu to temporarily extinguish his intention to take action immediately against the Meng family, but sent meticulous work many times to observe the movements of the hundred rice orchards, preparing to kill with one blow.

And just when Yan Kui was waiting for the Meng family to trade again, the ransacking of the village in Heifengling occurred, and the county commander Hua Wenzheng summoned Yan Kui and Huang Dahu to discuss countermeasures.

During this period, Yan Kui proposed to garrison Qinghukou, and then pulled out the problem of insufficient food, Yan Kui thought hard, and had a flash of inspiration and thought of the Meng family.

The Meng family is the largest grain merchant in Qingyuan, and the prosperity of grain storage is even several times that of the county government, as long as the Meng family can be taken down, the problem of food and salary of the Qinghukou garrison will naturally be solved.

So, Yan Kui told Hua and Huang about the Meng family's bandits, how surprised and angry the two of them didn't say anything, and then affirmed that this plan was a way, Hua Wenzheng raised a difficult problem.

If the Meng family is taken for the crime of banditry, then all the assets and grain of the Meng family must be sealed as stolen goods, once sealed, then no one is allowed to use the stolen goods without an order from above, otherwise if someone is poked out afterwards, this is a felony.

Although the county government actively communicates with the superiors, the stolen goods of the Meng family may not be unusable, but this coming and going, I am afraid that it will take a lot of time.

The garrison Qinghukou is urgent, even if it can be topped with the grain of the militia first, but once the communication is not good, the boss is not allowed to use the stolen goods of the Meng family, then not only will the garrison's food ring not be solved, but the militia will also have to go hungry all winter.

………

At this point, the matter came to an impasse, and the three of Yan Kui, who were worried, had to separate first, planning to be busy preparing the Qinghukou garrison first, while collecting evidence of the Meng family's bandits, and then make another decision after the evidence was conclusive.

After returning to the camp, Yan Kui thought about the trickiness of this matter, and his mood was quite low, but he still found Xu Yu to discuss the matter of the garrison Qinghukou, and brought up the matter of the Meng family.

Originally, Yan Kui was just complaining, but he didn't want Xu Yu to listen to him, so he quickly thought of a solution for him.

According to the regulations of the imperial court, if the Meng family is convicted, their family property must be registered and registered, and it cannot be moved lightly as stolen goods, but if the Meng family sets aside a separate batch of grain and salary to hide it quietly before this, then this batch of grain is likely to be "ignored" and not recorded in the register if no one reports it.

In this way, it is easy to operate, as long as the Meng family is persuaded to quietly remove a part of the grain before the court is convicted by the court according to this law, then the county government can use this batch of "clean" grain at will.

It's just that there is a key point in this, this thing can't be done by Yan Kui, it can only be done by the Meng family.

In this way, even if it is found out in the future, it is Yan Kui and them who "accidentally" got the food hidden by the Meng family, they don't know who the owner is, after all, those who don't know are not guilty.

But if Yan Kui and the others pretend to be the Meng family to hide food, then it is still a private use of stolen goods, and once it is verified, I am afraid that several people will have to be cleaned up.

Therefore, how to get the Meng family to help "voluntarily" has become the top priority, but once the Meng family is arrested, they will definitely hate Yan Kui and the others who did it, and they will definitely not cooperate obediently and let Yan Kui get his wish.

So, Xu Yu thought of using Yan Kui to keep the bloodline of the Meng family as a condition, so that Meng Gong willingly hid the food, and at the same time, because this bloodline of the Meng family was in Yan Kui's hands, Meng Gong would definitely not tell this secret, and the safety of this operation would be greatly improved.

Even if Meng Gong would rather cut off his children and grandchildren, he would also take revenge on Yan Kui, but because the matter of hiding grain was operated by the Meng family from beginning to end, there was no evidence at all pointing to Yan Kui's mastermind, at most, this batch of food and salary was withdrawn by the imperial court, and Yan Kui's bamboo basket was empty.

On the contrary, the bloodline of the Meng family and the Meng family in prison that fell into the hands of Yan Kui will be fiercely retaliated against by Yan Kui, who failed in his plan.

Xu Yu's idea is a different way, not leaking, and the most important thing is to make Yan Kui invincible.

The more Yan Kui thought about it, the more he felt that this plan was feasible, so he hurriedly contacted Hua Wenzheng and Huang Dahu, and after obtaining the consent of the two, he began to implement the plan.

Therefore, in this Fuman Building today, there is a scene of Yan Kui and Huang Dahu singing double reeds to force Meng Gong.

…………

"Tut, brother, you military advisor. It's smart, and I'll see you another day. ”

After listening to Yan Kui's explanation of Xu Yu's role in this matter, Huang Dahu's curiosity about Xu Dacai increased greatly, not because he wanted to dig into Yan Kui's corner, but simply because he loved Cai.

After all, everyone will value capable people, especially for Huang Dahu, a rough man, Xu Yu, a military advisor who is good at giving advice, naturally has a sense of reverence.

Yan Kui didn't take it seriously, he had time to introduce the two to each other, as for the question of whether he would be dug by Huang Dahu, Yan Kui said that he would not bother with this at all.

First, now who has higher potential between him and Huang Dahu, anyone with a discerning eye can see it, and a shrewd person like Xu Yu can naturally see it more clearly, and second, Yan Kui believes that Huang Dahu does not dare to ............

While the two were talking, He Chun came in to report that after a few hours of hard work, Meng Gong had completed the problem of grain stading.

Now, a granary in the north of the city, under the operation of Meng Gong, has become an ownerless thing, and the account books and records of the Meng family cannot find any pen and ink in this granary, and the people who know about it in the Meng family have now been completely wiped out by Meng Gong.

"Hiss......"

Huang Dahu tugged at the corners of his mouth: "The old thing's hands are quite poisonous." ”

"Extraordinary times, extraordinary methods."

Yan Kui smiled and looked at He Chun: "You have to find a way to inform Lord Meng to send out the bloodline of the Meng family that he wants to stay in advance, and tonight at night, I will wait for the official siege of the Meng Mansion." ”

He Chun took the order and left, Yan Kui looked at Huang Dahu: "Big brother, you have to come out of this granary." ”

Yan Kui has always been cautious, how could he be convinced of the enemy of Meng Gong, so he also left a backup move.

This batch of grain of the Meng family, he will find someone to make an account and change it to the Huang family's money to buy, that is, now this batch of grain belongs to the Huang family, if Meng Gong quietly uses any tricks, at most the Huang family will come forward to buy this batch of grain with real gold and silver.

Of course, if Meng Gong kept his promise, Huang Dahu would naturally not have to pay this money, and Yan Kui did this just in case.........
