[40] Something to do with the Eight Great Traitors?

"How much grain can be put in each granary?"

"Each one is just 1,000 stones~" Wang Zilin is very familiar with "According to what I have seen, it is a granary left by grain residues, which is not full, and it is estimated that the stolen grain is more than 3,000 stones"

"Three thousand stones is the boss of a batch of grain, it is impossible for it to be quietly transported out of the granary without anyone knowing, and it is impossible to quietly transport it away from Dengzhou" Song Youliang said: "Hurry up and send someone to investigate thoroughly, there is no one selling wheat flour in the market~"

"Wheat flour?" Chen Guoying raised his eyes

"The grain sold in Haiyang is all wheat flour, and it is not mixed with sediment, and the amount is full" Wang Zilin has seen the wheat flour sent by Song Youliang

Song Youliang touched his chin and said, "How big is Dengzhou City?" How many places can hide so much food without being discovered? ”

"Huh?" Chen Guoying and Wang Zilin glanced at each other, and then looked at Song Youliang in unison, and the three of them said in unison: "Grain stack!" ”

Wang Zilin began to be a little nervous, "There are more and more hungry people, and there are more and more incidents of snatching food, and the civil uprising is about to break out. No matter what the purpose is, the grain stack should properly store or transport this batch of grain~"

"The government thinks that it is more likely to be transported away" Chen Guoying also began to be nervous, "The people are in turmoil, if the hungry people find that there is no food in the treasury, they will definitely dig three feet into the ground to find food." Dengzhou City is a big place, where will it be hidden and not discovered? ”

Song Youliang nodded, "Then please order that from now on, all vehicles leaving the city must be strictly inspected, and not a grain of rice, a grain of wheat, or a little bit of rice flour or wheat flour are allowed to leave the city." At the same time, send troops to patrol all over the seaside, not a single plank is allowed to go into the sea, once found, immediately captured, if there is resistance, kill ~"

Chen Guoying said in embarrassment: "Song Qianhu, there are only more than 100 officials in each official office combined, how can you do so many things?" ”

"I do have soldiers, but" Song Youliang is also in a hurry, the command of the Weisuo army belongs to the commander of the capital, and if he violates the troop transfer system, it is also a big crime

Just when Song Youliang, Chen Guoying and Wang Zilin were in a dilemma, an unexpected person appeared, and this person was Wu Mengming.

"How did he come back to Dengzhou?" Song Youliang went to greet Chen Guoying with suspicion.

Wu Mengming was dressed in a flying fish suit, with an embroidered spring knife on his waist, and his waist was straight, judging from the clothing, Wu Mengming at this moment was already a thousand Jinyi guards, and the ten brocade guards with tigers and bears behind him were also standing with their heads held high, majestic

Chen Guoying stepped forward and saluted, "Wu Qianhu~"

Wu Mengming ignored Chen Guoying and walked straight to Song Youliang, "Song Youliang, this Qianhu came this time to investigate the arson of the Dengzhou granary~"

"What?" Song Youliang was taken aback, could it be that those officials still failed to keep their mouths shut?

Wu Mengming saw Song Youliang's surprised expression, and smiled proudly, "It wasn't those officials who said that the arsonist was arrested by Jinyiwei on the spot, but he has always refused to confess~"

When Wang Zilin heard this, cold sweat broke out on his body, it turned out that Jinyiwei was known to be pervasive, and it really lived up to his reputation

Jinyiwei has dispatched agencies in various important prefectures in the country, its system is similar to the army of the Ming Dynasty, and then there is a hundred households in the city of Dengzhou, set up one person in one hundred households, is six products, and one person from one hundred households is from six products. There are two general flags under the jurisdiction of 100 households, and there are seven products.

Wu Mengming looked at Song Youliang, "Song Qianhu is really young and promising, and he can also dig out treasures in the ruins" Wu Mengming said with a smile, "Let's go, go with Ben Qianhu to see the thatched pit stone~" Saying that, Wu Mengming turned around and left, Song Youliang could only follow immediately, while Chen Guoying and Wang Zilin stood there and didn't know whether to follow

Wu Mengming looked at them embarrassedly and said with a smile: "You will organize people to receive the grain transported by Song Qianhu~"

"Yes, yes" Chen Guoying and Wang Zilin hurriedly agreed

From the outside, the thousand households of Jinyiwei are ordinary houses, but there are things inside, and they are hidden deeply. Song Youliang followed Wu Mengming into the basement through a secret door, and a damp musty smell came to his face. Water dripping from the roof of the basement rattled, and a few pine torches on the wall crackled softly, making the gloomy basement look like a ghostly mansion. The basement area here is not large, but although the sparrows are small, they are equipped with shelves, iron chains, tiger chairs, chili water, leather whips, soldering irons, etc.

"Ah" Before Song Youliang walked down the steps, a miserable scream came from behind the wall, Rao is Song Youliang was well-informed in his previous life, and he was also taken aback, his feet slipped, and he almost fell. Wu Mengming smiled disdainfully, he was used to this kind of thing, and the first time an outsider came to Jinyiwei's interrogation room, it was Song Youliang's reaction.

Turning around to play, I saw a man covered in blood and messy hair tied into a large shape, a bald man with a bare body, pulling a bandage in one hand, threatening: "Good boy, I don't believe that I can't pry your mouth open if I don't believe in wearing linen and wearing filial piety~" Wearing linen and wearing filial piety is to first beat the prisoner all over the body, then sprinkle salt on the body, wrap it in a cloth, and tear off the cloth piece by piece with the blood scab and flesh the next day.

"Hey," the bald head shouted, and a strip of flesh-stained cloth was ripped from the prisoner's chest

"Ahh

Wu Mengming smiled, turned his head and said to Song Youliang: "Song Qianhu is really a lucky star, we were tired and tortured for a day and a night, and he recruited him as soon as you came~"

"This is due to the concerted efforts of all the subordinates of the Thousand Households~" Song Youliang hurriedly replied with a smile

Wu Mengming picked up a thick stick, pushed the prisoner's chin, and asked in a soft tone: "Say, who instructed you to walk the rumors, and who instructed you to set fire to the grain?" ”

"It's ~ cough ~ " The prisoner's lungs seemed to have been hit hard, and he coughed for a while before he said intermittently: "It's ~ the Liao shopkeeper of the grain store." ”

"Grain stack? Which grain stack? Wu Mengming asked

"Thousands of households, there are three grain stores in Dengzhou City, and this Liao shopkeeper is the shopkeeper of Yuanhechang Grain Store~ A large amount of grain is transported to Zhangjiakou every year~"

"Zhangjiakou?" Song Youliang felt that his guess might be true, "This adult, is this Yuan Hechang related to Wang Dengku, Jin Liangyu, Wang Dayu, Liang Guest, Tian Shenglan, Zhai Ying, Huang Yunlong, and Fan Yongdou?" ”

The Jinyi Wei who was asked replied: "I haven't studied this in detail~ What do you ask for?" ”

Song Youliang nodded, and said to Wu Mengming: "I heard from the businessmen that Wang Dengku, Jin Liangyu, Fan Yongdou, Wang Dayu, Liang Guest, Tian Shenglan, Zhai Tang, and Huang Yunfa have had business dealings with Dongyu for a long time since the rise of Liaodong?" ”

Wu Mengming nodded slightly and replied: "These eight major merchants have been entrenched in Zhangjiakou for many years, and we have also heard of it, but firstly, there is no real evidence, and secondly, these people also have the protection of big people in the court, so"

Song Youliang smiled: "Dongyu has repeatedly crossed the Great Wall and invaded the Guannei, with the wealth of Zhangjiakou, it is close at hand, but it has never been touched by Dongyu, why is this?" ”

Wu Mengming seemed to have a comprehension, "You mean to say, oh, Ben Qianhu understands" Wu Mengming said to a brocade guard: "Zhong Hao." You immediately fly the pigeon and pass the book, and tell the commander the envoy the situation here, and implore the commander to mobilize the manpower to thoroughly investigate Wang Dengku, Jin Liangyu, Fan Yongdou, Wang Dayu, Liang Guest, Tian Shenglan, Zhai Tang, Huang Yunfa~"

"Deling~"

Wu Mengming said to another person: "Liu Daogui, you immediately thoroughly investigate whether this grain stack of what yuan and what chang is related to those eight people~"

"Deling~"

"Balengshan, you ~ take your people to patrol the beach, not a single plank is allowed to go to the sea, if someone goes to sea, immediately capture, if you resist, kill ~"

"Deling~"

"Zheng Tong, you take people to guard the city gates everywhere, but anything more than one stone is not allowed to go out of the city~ If you find anyone carrying wheat flour, capture it immediately~"

"Deling~"

"Xuzhouzhi, you take a brother, go to the ambush around the grain store of Hechang, and see if there are any suspicious people and things~"

"Deling~"
