Chapter 268: Extortion
Since the thaw of the construction of the port of Tianjin, it has entered a state of rapid progress, and the Civil Affairs Department has dispatched a large number of personnel to recruit workers in the vicinity of Tianjin. The salary offered by the starting point city is difficult to refuse, especially those poor stove households, so the recruitment work went smoothly, and more than 10,000 people were recruited in a month.
Highway construction has also resumed work, and three highways have been built from the starting point city to Shijingshan, the starting point from the city to the Guangning Gate of Jingshi, and the starting point from the city to Changping.
The starting point of the city to Miyun, to Tongzhou, to Fangshan highway continues to be built, and the Tongzhou to Tianjin highway is also on the agenda.
On April 20, the starting point of the city to Tongzhou Highway, Panjiayuan construction section.
Fu Yifeng, the general banner of the Jinyi Wei Guangqu Gate Hundred Households, was ordered to investigate this area with several Jinyi Wei lieutenants and military surpluses.
Fu Yifeng has a bad character, and often extorts and extorts small households, frames and frames false goods, and fishes for law enforcement, which can be described as a bad record. I don't know how many people and merchants were victimized, and there were those who had the courage to hand over the case to the Thousand Households, the Soldiers and Horses, and even the Nanzhen Fusi. It's a pity that it was not only rejected, but also redoubled its revenge by Fu Yifeng.
It is said that this Fu Yifeng's backer is very hard, and he is the nephew of Wen Tiren, the head of the dynasty. used to be an idle gangster in the countryside, but after Wen Ge Lao came to power, he cheekily begged his cousin Wen Tiren, and finally mixed into the system and became the general banner of Jinyi Wei.
"Lord Zongqi, I heard that these road builders have an income of three taels of silver a month, tsk!" Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi Liu Cheng said enviously.
"His grandmother's, Lao Tzu's salary is only thirty-two taels a year, which is not as good as a mud leg who repairs roads!" Fu Yifeng said indignantly.
"That Wang Yue is really rich, I heard that the starting point city is full of treasures." Liu Chengdao.
Fu Yifeng shook his head and said: "Let's not think about it in the starting point city, then Wang Yue's Tiance army is not easy to mess with, and Jiannu has suffered a big loss at his hands." ”
He looked at the busy road construction workers, and said with a smile: "The starting point city is not under our control, but these mud legs are under our noses, no matter how small the flies are, they have meat." ”
Don't look at his low culture, he is still a little smart, then Wang Yue is a fourth-grade civil official in the imperial court after all, and he can't bluff others, so he has to pick up soft persimmons.
"Haha!" Liu Cheng understood what he meant and said with a smile: "Lord Zongqi, how can we rectify them today, you say!" ”
Fu Yifeng nodded and said, "The old rules, we used to be close to them." ”
Liu Cheng and the others understood, and followed Fu Yifeng directly into the middle of the workers.
Those workers were busy working there, where would they have thought of these brocade guards, so they rushed over in a daze, and immediately knocked them around. These workers were all there to smear the cement, so several of them touched the cement on Jinyiwei.
Among them, there was a worker named Ma Bao, who happened to touch the cement on Fu Yifeng.
"Dare to attack Jinyiwei, is it not intended to rebel? Come on, take down all these people. Fu Yifeng snapped.
"Wow, puff!"
The brocade guards drew their swords one after another, and the remnants of the army rushed up, pressing a few workers who had soiled their clothes to the ground and tying them with ropes.
"The official spares his life, the little ones didn't mean it!" The workers shouted one after another.
Fu Yifeng went up and gave Ma Bao two feet, and roared: "Dare to attack this official, it's really the most eyelid!" ”
Ma Bao screamed: "The official is angry, the little one didn't see you!" ”
Fu Yifeng patted the cement on his body, but he couldn't shoot it, and it was even more angry, so he went up and gave Ma Bao a few feet.
Those dog-legged soldiers, seeing that the boss was furious, stepped forward together to protect the horse.
Seeing that it was almost over, Fu Yifeng shouted: "Okay, don't kill these fat pigs." ”
The doglegs stopped, Ma Bao was bleeding from his mouth and nose, lying on the ground and dying: "Official, official, angry, small, small has no intention of offending the official." ”
The other workers who were locked up were frightened when they saw Ma Bao's miserable appearance, and they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
Fu Yifeng laughed and said, "Wronged? It's a joke, I'm waiting for the Jinyi Guards to come here on an errand, and you Diao people dare to attack us. Isn't what we have left behind evidence of your attack on the Jinyi Guard? Attacking the Jinyi guard should be beheaded according to the law, I'm afraid you don't know, right? Hehe! ”
The workers were frightened, this is a flying disaster!
"Official, grandpa! Please, the little ones didn't mean it! ”
There are those who are thoughtful, and it is estimated that these people are here to blackmail them, and said: "Official, please be merciful outside the law!" The small ones are working here, and they have also accumulated some silver taels, as long as you let the small ones go, we are willing to honor the officials. ”
Liu Cheng said to Fu Yifeng from time to time: "Lord Zongqi, it's pitiful to see them, if you don't let them give some silver taels to reveal it, what do you think?" ”
The workers immediately grasped the life-saving straw and said: "Yes, yes, we are willing to honor the officials and ask them to give them a way out." ”
These workers pay three taels of silver a month, and of course they are willing to break their wealth and avoid disasters.
Fu Yifeng pretended to be silent for a moment and said, "Okay, since it is Liu Xiaoqi who intercedes for you and others, this official can let you go." Then one person will take fifty taels of silver, and I will assume that this has not happened. ”
Those workers were dumbfounded, and pleaded one after another: "Official, we have only been working for five months, where do we have so much money?" ”
Liu Cheng persuaded: "Why don't you people know what to do? I'm finally going to help you and ask for the accommodation of Lord Zongqi, won't you be flexible? How many taels of silver do you have now, just take it out first, and set up a note for the rest, and then you can't do it slowly? ”
Fu Yifeng also nodded and said, "Well, let's do it like this, who told the official to be soft-hearted?" ”
As soon as Fu Yifeng's words were finished, an armored car came from a distance at high speed. "Squeak!" A sound stopped near them, and then the top cover was opened, and the machine gunner set up his machine gun and aimed at the brocade guards, and a dozen or so soldiers rushed out of the back door to quickly surround everyone.
"All the brocade guards are not allowed to move, lay down their weapons, and be investigated." There was a loud sound from the car horn.
It turned out that a platoon of the Tiance Army was on duty here on this section of the road, and after receiving the report from the site captain, he immediately used the walkie-talkie to report to his superiors. Only a few minutes later, Wang Yue received the news, and he ordered all the Jinyi guards to be immediately arrested and sent to the starting point city to be investigated, and if they resisted, they were killed on the spot.
Liu Cheng shouted to the soldiers of the Tiance Army: "Jinyi Wei is running errands here, and idle people are avoiding!" ”
"Leave them alone, go and let these people write the notes."
Fu Yifeng relied on the fact that he was Wen Tiren's nephew and Jinyiwei, but he was the Son of Heaven's pro-army, and he thought that the Tiance Army would not dare to do anything to him.
