Chapter 322: The Fall of the Wang Family
Wang Gouzi was unusually busy this morning, he took a few Zhuang Ding, ran all over the Wang family property on the island, saying that there was an important announcement outside the staff, and recalled all the principals to the Wang family compound. Then these people were quickly purged, and the iron rods of the Wang family were naturally removed, and the remaining people had to be handed over to their families as hostages. The new owner said that he would reunite his family if he remained faithful. These shopkeepers also have no choice, those whose family members are already in the Wang family do not have to bother, and those who are outside can only write letters to recruit them in, and then these more than 100 people were sent to the Wang family wharf to get on the boat, and they don't know where to go.
After the external hidden dangers were basically cleared, Gu Haotian sent Li Bao and Ruan Xiaoqi to take people to monitor the major ports on the island, and ordered each battalion to arrange personnel to guard various key points, so that they could make room to "meet" Wang Baoqing, the owner of this mansion.
"Are you the pole there? Be bold! Dare to attack the old man, you must know that there are thousands of people from my Wang family on this island, and now hurry up and retreat when you see it, otherwise there will be no bones left later. ”
Since Wang Baoqing was captured by Bian Xiang, he has been alone in one place, completely ignorant of the changes in his family, and now he still thinks that the daring bandits have attacked his castle. So when he saw Gu Haotian and the others, he still pointed at them and shouted.
"Your Wang family is only 3,000 people, and there are only 2,000 people left on this island today.
Gu Haotian looked at Wang Baoqing, who didn't know the depths, and couldn't help teasing.
"How do you know the details of the old man? Who are you—you—who are you? ”
Wang Baoqing was shocked when he heard this, and immediately felt that these people must not be ordinary bandits, and his nervous speech was a little unclear.
"Who am I? Didn't you send someone to Black Mountain Island last night to arrest it? Why did you ask me? ”
"You're the young master!"
When Wang Baoqing heard what Gu Haotian said, he suddenly remembered that Wang Gui had said that the young master of Black Mountain Island was a young man, which was quite similar to the person in front of him, but he immediately thought that something was wrong, there were only two or three hundred people in that place, and Wang Gui brought five hundred people to the island last night, and there were still people coming here.
"Wang Gui - Wang Gui is there!"
"You're talking about the king dog! It's outside the door! So he let him in to see his master. ”
Gu Haotian saw that Wang Baoqing was incoherent and unscrupulous, so he simply let him meet Wang Gui, and he was kind to die.
Sure enough, when the obscene Wang Gouzi appeared at the door, Wang Baoqing seemed to understand everything at once, he went over frantically, grabbed his chest desperately, and scolded viciously:
"Wang Gui, you white-eyed wolf who can't be fed, master, I can't stand you there for decades, and you even designed an old man with an outsider, you can't die well!"
"Master-master-master-it's not a small fault, it's all Wang Bao's sins, and there are two or three hundred people on this Black Mountain Island! Thousands! And last night, people had already set up a pocket, but Wang Bao didn't know it, and he introduced us into that bag, four or five hundred lives, what can you do if you call the little one! ”
Wang Gouzi argued while struggling to retreat.
"The Wang family is finished! The Wang family is finished! ”
At this time, Wang Baoqing muttered, and sat down on the ground all of a sudden, he already understood everything, these people came completely prepared, everything that happened in the past few days was just a play in front of him, but he still thought he had a plan, and he was still thinking about designing.
"The king
There is no need to be too depressed outside, don't you still have Wang Kongmu and Jin Zhifu behind you? ”
Just when Wang Baoqing was in despair, the voice of the young man he heard sounded faintly. He suddenly felt like a shot of strengthening, and immediately straightened up and said:
"Since this Lang Jun knows that my Wang family has close contacts with the government, he should know the difficulties and retreat, if I have three long and two short here, my nephew and the Jin Governor's Mansion will not let go, so this island is not a place where you can stay, I have a lot of money here, you can take it, go away quickly and live happily."
"This king is also a caring person, and he is so thoughtful for me, but it seems that he wants to thank you first."
Gu Haotian's naughty words immediately caused everyone to burst into laughter. When Wang Baoqing was inexplicable, he heard the young man ask:
"How did you deal with that Jin Governor in the past? Who is involved in the government? Also, what kind of bright and dark industries does your Wang family have in various parts of Dengzhou? To be honest with me, Hugh has to take care of his own hardships. ”
This young man has to calculate Dengzhou Mansion! Wang Baoqing was shocked again, he sat on the ground unconsciously, staring at the young man in front of him, and couldn't speak.
"Don't say it! Bian Xiang, go, pull that eldest son out and cut it down! ”
I saw that the young man said lightly, Wang Baoqing immediately returned to his soul when he heard it, and hurriedly said:
"Wait, old man Rong speaks slowly!"
Subsequently, this Wang Baoqing told the details of the Dengzhou officialdom and the dealings with the Wang family in great detail.
However, Gu Haotian and Xu Guanzhong and others were shocked when they heard this, and they couldn't imagine that there were few officials in the government and county government who were not corrupt and bent the law, and there were more than ten people involved in the Wang family alone, and the Jin prefect received no less than 100,000 taels of silver from the Wang family every year.
Looking at Wang Baoqing who was taken down, Xu Guanzhong couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This Dengzhou officialdom is so corrupt, even if it is all gone, there is nothing to feel guilty about!" ”
"Well, lest we shrink back then. It's just that although Da Xie Shu Island is now under our control, after all, it has a large population, and it is inevitable that the news will leak, and we must take action against Dengzhou as soon as possible, and Mr. Xu has a good plan. ”
Gu Haotian knew the situation of Dengzhou officialdom for a long time, and he didn't have too much emotion, but he was worried that it would be difficult to block the news here, and he wanted to push forward the next plan as soon as possible.
Xu Guanzhong had a different view, he thought about it and said: "It is naturally good to solve the Dengzhou problem as soon as possible, but the current conditions do not allow it, one is that Director Xiao and Director Wu and two battalions of cavalry have not yet been contacted, and the second is that Sun Tizhi in the city, the petty officials have not been in contact with him, so they will not be able to take action in the next few days." I thought it was better to send someone to Dengzhou to contact Director Xiao and them first, and this side continued to make efforts to clean up the hands and feet of the Wang family, so as to ensure that the rear side did things without worry. In fact, even if Dengzhou Mansion gets the news that this island is occupied, what can they do, the naval army is useless, but the infantry army is controlled by you, what can I do? As for the siege of the city in the coming day, with your fellow door inside, we will not be able to enter when we can! ”
"What Mr. Xu said is very reasonable, but I was in a hurry!" Gu Haotian was relieved when he saw it. Immediately, the two discussed carefully and arranged several important matters one by one. One is to transfer all the Wang family members to Black Mountain Island at night, and Zhang Heng will take 300 people to guard it. In addition, Ren Zhongyuan, who sent the pro-guard battalion, went to Dengzhou to connect with Xiao Jiasui, Wu Yong and others. Wu Song's 8th Infantry Battalion was still stationed on Xiaoxieshu Island, and the rest of the battalions were stationed in various parts of Daxieshu Island. Two battalions of sailors continued to patrol the port and the open sea. The special battalion and the pro-guard battalion took the lead in carrying out a dragnet inventory on the island and searching for the missing personnel of the Wang family.
Two or three days after the change in the Wang family, a rumor gradually spread on Da Xie Shu Island, saying that Wang Mazi, the leader of the Wang family's guards, colluded with his cousin Wang Bao to fight for the Wang family's property. It's just that the king is old and calculating, and sent Wang Gui to Dengzhou early to borrow reinforcements, and the inside and outside should work together to exterminate this group, but the king was unfortunately injured by the stray arrow and was sick in bed.
Then this rumor spread more and more widely, and the more true it became. Some people said that their family lived outside the Wang family's barracks, and when they got up that morning, they saw that the ditch next to the house was full of blood, and they thought that it was those who rebelled against Zhuang Ding. Some people said that they saw Wang Gouzi early that morning, and went ashore from the dock with a large group of men, and went straight to Wang's house, which must have been borrowed reinforcements from Dengzhou. Some people also said that several shopkeepers of the Wang family had changed, and it was estimated that they were close to Wang Mazi and were taken down by the Wang family.
When the rumors were getting more and more intense, a team of strange investigators came out of the Wang family's mansion to conduct a thorough inventory of the Wang family's property on the island.
It must be the person who investigated Wang Mazi! When the residents of the island saw this phenomenon, they took the initiative to give an explanation, but it provided a lot of convenience for the actions of Liangshan Manor.
After a few days, the island gradually returned to calm. On this day, Ruan Xiaoqi, who was guarding the Wang's special wharf, sent someone to report in a hurry, saying that a boat came from the south and came straight to the wharf, and I don't know who is preparing here.
When Gu Haotian received the report, he thought that someone must be from Dengzhou, so he immediately called Wang Gouzi over. This guy is really like a pug now, he personally participated in the action to destroy the Wang family, and also witnessed the strength of the Liangshan army, and now he is helpless, he can only desperately wag his tail to the people of Liangshan and beg for mercy in order to survive, so these days in the action of clearing the Wang family's forces, he has played his "advantages" to the fullest. After hearing the news, he hurried to arrive in a moment.
"There's a boat from the south on the dock, you go and see who and what's going on, and then I'll report to me if there's something." Gu Haotian commanded casually.
"Rest assured, the little ones know what to do."
This guy has been with the people of Liangshan for a long time recently, and this little official is also called smooth, so he hurried away after getting the order.
Not long after, I saw Wang Gouzi come in with a man in his thirties, and the two talked and laughed all the way and seemed to be quite familiar.
"What a coincidence, but the staff went to Xiao Xie Shu Island, and I don't know how many days it will be returned, this matter is very urgent, it is better to rush over there to report it together."
As soon as he entered the hall and sat down, he saw the man talking anxiously, thinking that he had heard the lie made up by Wang Gouzi on the way.
"Brother doesn't need to be in a hurry, there is no need to go in person, I will send someone to send a letter to ask for a reply, you will rest in peace first after you have worked hard all the way, and I will give you an explanation in the afternoon."
The man listened to Wang Gouzi's words, and without much hesitation, he took out a letter and said:
"So it's bothering the butler."
"Family, what's so polite."
The king answered with a grin, took the letter and handed it to a servant beside him, and led the man to drink.
Gu Haotian quickly got the letter, but when he opened it, he couldn't help but be surprised, and said to himself at the moment:
At this juncture, how did this happen!
