With the opening of the Yanhe checkpoint, two other adjacent checkpoints sent news that two caravans had been intercepted, and by the evening, the entire checkpoint set up in Yanggao County had intercepted seven caravans. Zhang Linfeng and Xia Dongwei were about to faint, and the cart lined up to drive to the Yamen of the General Soldier's Mansion, and some of the people who liked to watch the excitement were also very surprised, and when they learned that it was full of food, they were even more surprised by the ability of the General Soldier.

And Yang Hongzhang in the Yamen of the General Military Mansion was both excited and angry, excited that he could continue to expand the army and expand the scale of the mining team and arsenal. Angry that they had just established a checkpoint, and that they could intercept so many prohibited materials in a day or two, it was not too much to describe these Shanxi businessmen as heinous crimes.

However, before Yang Hongzhang could get angry, someone had already come to the door, and the next day, more than a dozen Shanxi businessmen's family members wanted to see Yang Hongzhang by name. This time it's Yang Sheng's turn to perform, my handsome is the chief soldier of a town, an important minister on the frontier, how can you ordinary people see it if you want to, go and go, go cool, the handsome is very busy! What are you very good, you have been to Beijing City, the door of every university scholar is to enter when you want, you are amazing! But we can't do it here, it's not official, and those who don't have a worship post and haven't received an invitation are not allowed to linger at the yamen!

In short, Yang Sheng is more resistant than anyone else, the head of these businessmen's families thinks very highly of himself, and when he opens his mouth and closes his mouth, he is good friends with a certain important minister, and the result is that Yang Sheng doesn't eat at all.

So these family heads had no choice but to obediently go back and write a letter of worship, and then respectfully hand it to Yang Sheng, waiting for the reception of the chief soldier. A day passed, and the chief soldier was very busy, and two days passed, and the chief soldier went to inspect the side wall. On the third day, the chief soldier went to inspect the checkpoint, and on the fourth day, the chief soldier went to inspect the town guards.

It wasn't until the sixth day of the opening of the checkpoint that Yang Hongzhang finally got on the road, and in the face of the Shanxi businessmen who were all in the house, the first thing Yang Hongzhang did when he came in was to call Yang Sheng: "Come on, take down all these spies who dare to disobey the holy decree and secretly fund the construction of slaves!" ”

Yang Sheng was naturally very cooperative, and when he beckoned his subordinates to come up, he was punched and kicked, and then more than a dozen Shanxi businessmen's heads were all tied up by Wuhua.

Originally, I thought that the general soldier was a scholar and a person who was given the background of a jinshi by the emperor, but he didn't expect it to be so rude, and some people scolded with their necks, but they were led by Yang Sheng to greet them one by one with their sabers and knives, and suddenly a few people saw blood.

Angry, these usually high-spirited rich businessmen finally recognized the situation one by one, thinking about how to get out and how to retaliate after going out, but on the surface, they became very well-behaved, and no one was making any disrespectful words.

Yang Sheng was very satisfied with this, so he pulled out more than a dozen people, three or four people dealt with one, interrogated overnight, whether these people colluded with Jiannu Yang Sheng is not clear, but Yang Hongzhang knows that nine times out of ten these people are making money by selling grain, pig iron, salt, etc., as long as the sale of these prohibited items is prohibited by the imperial court, and Yang Hongzhang still has the emperor's decree in his hand, and the General Military Office has also posted a notice.

That is to say, one of these people is counted as one, at least it is a violation of the ban of the imperial court, a violation of the order of the general military office, a traitor can not be washed away no matter what, if they dare to come out with one or two important ministers of the court, Yang Hongzhang does not mind dedicating it to the emperor, Zhu Youzhen is worried about the opportunity to copy the minister's house.

As expected, in the second half of the year, more than a dozen heads of the family signed the confession.

Yang Hongzhang did not embarrass them, continued to be closed, served with good food and drink, and then quietly told them that they could put a few people in each caravan to go back to report the news.

The so-called acceptance of punishment is release on bail pending trial, which was invented by Yang Hongzhang, to pay a certain amount of security deposit to the General Military Office, people can go out, but they can only stay at home and there can not go, and those who are not in Datong Mansion are allowed to rent a house in Datong Mansion to live temporarily, in short, they cannot leave Datong, and they need to report their activities in the city. If you leave without permission, the General Military Office will arrest him, and the security deposit will be confiscated.

As for the amount of bail pending trial, each head of the family is 20,000 taels per person! Yang Sheng was taken aback when he heard this number, but he was soon relieved, because all the family owners chose to be released on bail pending trial, and those whose families were not in Datong either bought or rented houses in Datong. Looking at these people's applications without blinking, Yang Sheng finally understood that Dashuai was still a little soft-hearted, and these people should each charge a deposit of 100,000 yuan.

Yang Sheng was in charge of Yang Hongzhang's return to the bar, this day the General Military Mansion came to two uninvited guests, Yang Sheng happened to receive Yang Hongzhang's order, let him take over the training of some recruits, because now everyone else is busy with the checkpoints, and those caravans played a game of cat and mouse, so the consumption of people is relatively large, as a result, just came out at the gate of the General Military Mansion to see two generals in armor using horsewhips to educate the two soldiers guarding the door.

This is Yang Sheng's soldier, Yang Sheng naturally stopped doing it, and went up to fight directly. The result was naturally a complete victory for Yang Sheng, because he was followed by fifty or sixty people, and the other party was just two Liang soldiers with more than two dozen personal soldiers.

The movement at the door naturally also alarmed Yang Hongzhang, and when he saw Yang Sheng standing there grinning and smirking with a bloody face, he was angry, so he scolded: "Yang Sheng, you have itchy skin, don't you know that there are regulations for bacteria in the brain at the gate of the General Soldier's Mansion?" ”

Yang Sheng's neck shrank: "Dashuai, you can't blame me, it's these bastards, they come up to be adults, you see that the pony and the principal were all cut open by them with the skin of a horsewhip." Yang Sheng's face was aggrieved, and his heart was actually tired, and he said that these two stupid forks dared to attack the General Military Mansion with more than a dozen people, which was really stupid.

Unexpectedly, the two of them seemed to be more principals when they saw Yang Hongzhang, and the horsewhip in the hand of one of them pointed at Yang Hongzhang: "What do you want to do with the surname Yang, as the chief soldier of Datong, you don't go to Datong but set up the yamen of the general army in Yanggao, recruit new soldiers but increase the salary for no reason, and allow other guards to join." As a border army general, he didn't think about how to protect the people, but he intercepted the merchants' goods without permission, and also set up a prison to torture illegal businessmen. Today, Ben will be like this, and you subordinates will beat Ben like this without indiscriminate marriage, and I will impeach you! “”

Listening to Yang Hongzhang in front of him, he thought that the commander of Shanxi had arrived, but he laughed when he heard it, and the last thing Yang Hongzhang was afraid of was that others would impeach him, so he smiled and said: "Dare to ask who Your Excellency is?" Why did he come out for the unscrupulous businessmen in Shanxi? ”

The man snorted coldly with a high toe: "This will be the commander of the Datong avant-garde Xu Fengbo." ”

"Then you are Shen Wenchao?" Yang Hongzhang looked at another person who was fighting side by side with Xu Fengbo and asked.

The man nodded noncommittally in acknowledgment.

Yang Hongzhang's face sank: "Yang Sheng, take down these two people and their subordinates, dare to have a way to resist this on the spot!" ”

Hearing this, Yang Shenghu's body was shocked, and it took a long time to react and whisper: "Young master, these two are commanders, the commanders of the third grade." ”

Yang Hongzhang's eyes widened, and Yang Sheng was trembling, and immediately beckoned his subordinates. And Xu Fengbo and the other two also looked at Yang Hongzhang with a sneer.

Seeing that Yang Sheng was really going to make a move, Xu Fengbo sneered: "Yang Hongzhang, who do you think you are, we are all officials of the imperial court, and the two of us are military generals of the third grade, you have no right to arrest and interrogate us, and you have no right to shout at us again, I advise you to release the detained materials and merchants as soon as possible, so as to restore order in Datong as soon as possible." ”

It's just that before he finished speaking, Yang Sheng had already won the lottery in Yang Hongzhang's angry eyes, and then four or five people immediately came up to tie him up.

"Yang Hongzhang, are you going to rebel?" Although Xu Fengbo was tied in his mouth, he still didn't play, Yang Hongzhang looked irritable, rushed over and kicked Yang Sheng,

"Waste, less and less able to do things."

Although Yang Sheng didn't hurt much, his face was dull, so he didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, he took off his boots directly, pulled off his socks, and stuffed one into the mouths of Xu Fengbo and Shen Wenchao, just in case, even Shen Wenchao didn't let go.

Yang Hongzhang was very satisfied with this, so he instructed the secretary next to him: "I said that you wrote, Xu Fengbo did not listen to the military order and the General Military Office convened to discuss the defense of Datong, but he shirked it on the grounds that he did not dare to leave his post without permission; Now because the interests of the businessmen who colluded with him have been damaged, he has left his post without permission, regardless of the comfort of the guards and the express orders of the imperial court. It is also the second fashion hall in the general military palace yamen to make a big fuss. The combined punishment for these three crimes was obviously sent to the prison, and he was escorted to the capital after it was found out whether he was in the same situation as Jiannu and the Mongol Tartars. ”

Hearing this, everyone was stupid, especially Xu Fengbo, he originally thought that Yang Hongzhang was just a spearhead guy, but today he and the two of them came to give a dismount first, and then forced Yang Hongzhang to release the Shanxi businessman, and then release the goods. I didn't expect this kid to catch pigtails, it's not too big a thing to be antibacterial, after all, everyone didn't come, but they left their posts without permission and it was for some businessmen who sold prohibited items, if they had nothing to do with businessmen, no one would believe it, as for what Yang Hongzhang said about Litong Jiannu, if you calculate carefully, these businessmen are traitors, so what are they who support traitors.

Yang Sheng was also stunned, he didn't expect his young master to be so ruthless, but with such a temperament, he was being proud, Yang Hongzhang spoke again, and immediately summoned the businessman who was known to be released on bail pending trial, and consulted the interrogation chair about their relationship with these two, Yang Hongzhang used a look you know how to look and then went back to the yamen.

Yang Sheng still doesn't understand, these two unlucky guys are considered to have hit the muzzle of the gun, don't say that they are here for these businessmen, just don't come, hide at home and don't say a word to contact ah, hehe, this time it's lively, these two don't know if they can be released on bail pending trial, if they can, at least 50,000 taels,
