Chapter 705: Calm Down
On November 29, in the Tianjin Guogong Mansion, Li Zhi was listening to Zheng Hui's report. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
After Zheng Hui caught the traitor smuggling counterfeit money in Rizhao, he immediately began interrogation. The arrested green-skinned scoundrels all confessed that Ruan Dacheng was the culprit of this counterfeit banknote incident.
Zheng Hui felt that this information was very important, so he hurried from Jinan to Tianjin and reported the results of the interrogation to Li Zhi.
Li Zhi frowned and did not speak.
Li Xing sat on the side and listened for a long time, and couldn't help but scold: "Ruan Dacheng, a shameless villain, defected to us with the gentry hiding address of Luzhou Mansion, and sharpened his head to get an official position with us. As a result, we did not get an official position, and immediately went to Shi Kefa again, and even conspired to attack our monetary system. ”
Li Laosi groaned and said: "This time to attack our monetary system, Ruan Dacheng is deliberate, ruthless and accurate. If it weren't for the fact that Grandpa Guo had taken the opportunity to admit the counterfeit money in time and bear all the losses for the people, I am afraid that the monetary systems of Tianjin and Shandong would have collapsed, and even the banks would have to close their doors. ”
Li Laosi said: "Owner, this Ruan Dacheng is a great sin, we must not spare it!" ”
Zhong Feng laughed and said, "You don't need to worry, as long as the army commander gives an order, I, Zhong Feng, will quickly lead five thousand cavalry to the south and guarantee that Anqing Mansion will be captured within a month." ”
Li Xing said: "Senior Commander Zhong, I'm afraid that as soon as your cavalry leaves Shandong, all the scholars in Jiangnan over there will know." When the time comes, Ruan Dacheng will flee south with silver and printing equipment, let alone catch Ruan Dacheng, you won't even be able to catch a single hair of the Ruan family. ”
Zhong Feng chirped: "Of course, I can't catch Ruan Dacheng, but you Li Xing have a way?" ”
Li Xing said: "I can't help it, but the eldest brother naturally has a way." ”
Zheng Kaicheng opened the bickering between Zhong Feng and Li Xing, and arched his hand and said: "Grandpa Guo, this Ruan Dacheng is really a repeated villain. Fortunately, Grandpa Guo saw through this person's face at the beginning, otherwise allowing such a person to blend into our official team and plan every day may bring a catastrophe to our entire system. ”
When everyone listened to Zheng Kaicheng's words, they were all embarrassed. This Ruan Dacheng is so good at drilling camps, and he didn't have any information about Tianjin in his hands to make such a big deal come out, forcing people in four provinces and one town to be anxious for a month. If such a person is allowed to infiltrate the officialdom of Tianjin and let him have an in-depth understanding of the reality of Tianjin and Shandong, it may cause a disaster a hundred times more serious than that of counterfeit banknotes.
Zheng Hui hurriedly patted Li Zhi's ass, stood up and said: "Grandpa Guo is far-sighted, his eyes are like torches, and the officials admire him!" ”
Hong Chengchou also stood up and sang: "Grandpa Guo is wise! ”
Seeing that everyone was patting Li Zhi's ass, Li Xing and the others quickly stood up and said, "Big brother is wise!" ”
"The Owner's Wisdom!"
Li Zhi did not respond to everyone's compliments, he looked directly at the majestic gate of the third hall of the Guogong Mansion, and said coldly: "Ruan Dacheng has repeatedly attacked the villain's financial system in Tianjin, almost causing chaos in four provinces and one town, and his crime is unforgivable. ”
"Li Laosi!"
"The last general!"
Li Zhi waved his hand and said, "I order you to select a hundred elite men and horses to prepare to go south." I'll give you fifty rockets, and I want you to blow up all the people who print counterfeit money. ”
"The last general commands!"
"Ruan Dacheng is insidious and cunning, and he must be removed. This person doesn't kill, and the world doesn't know my Li Zhi's methods. Li Laosi, I will give you another 200 rockets, I want you to kill Ruan Dacheng's family, and no one can let go! ”
Li Laosi said loudly: "Oh! ”
When everyone heard Li Zhi's murderous words, they all felt that the atmosphere was a little solemn, and no one dared to speak for a while.
Li Zhi looked at everyone and was about to get up and leave, but he heard Li Dao, the governor of Jilin, pat his thigh and say, "It's a pity! Pity! ”
Li Xing hurriedly asked, "What is a pity?" ”
Li Dao shook his head and said: "It's a pity that Ruan Dacheng's generation of talented people shook the north and south of the country, and for the sake of fame and fortune, it ended up like this." ”

In Anqing Mansion on the tenth day of December, Zhang Yu, the company commander of the Tiger Army, climbed on the roofs of two inns with 20 Tiger Army soldiers, each holding a newly made bazooka made by the Duke of Jinguo.
It is two inns connected together, and even the roofs are connected. But one is taller and the other is lower.
From the roof of the inn, you can climb to the roof of a nearby house, and then jump off the house to get into a remote alley, and the retreat is easy.
At this time, it was already seven or eight o'clock in the evening, and the night sky of Anqing Mansion was dark. In those days, there were no bright electric lights, and there were no street lights on the roads, and at night it was pitch black, and no one noticed that there were more than twenty people standing on the roofs of the two inns.
Zhang Yu wants to end Ruan Dacheng's counterfeit banknote printing den.
At the end of November, Ruan Dacheng was a thief who used a fishing boat to smuggle counterfeit banknotes into Shandong, and was arrested by the Duke of Jinguo, who strictly ordered all localities to strengthen their vigilance. Li Zhi ordered Li Laosi, the commander-in-chief of Tianjin, to be responsible for killing the traitors who made counterfeit banknotes. Li Laosi made repeated choices, and finally selected Zhang Yu, Li Zhi's former personal guard platoon commander.
Zhang Yu is a calm and calm person, and he is suitable for carrying out such an assassination mission.
With the help of Han Jinxin's secret guards, Zhang Yu found out where the counterfeit banknotes were printed as soon as he entered the city of Anqing, which was a small courtyard on the west side of the city, two in front and one in the back. In front of him, he was forged into a clothing dyeing workshop by Ruan Dacheng, and various printing and dyeing materials were piled up. The five rooms in the back are counterfeit banknote factories.
Zhang Yu detective for two days and found that this Ruan Dacheng was extremely greedy. Although there is no channel to continue to send counterfeit money to Tianjin and Shandong, he still has the counterfeit banknote factory start printing day and night, and the machine is only stopped every day.
Obviously, Ruan Dacheng is ready to continue to use counterfeit money to defraud money from four provinces and one town under Li Zhi's command.
The workers who printed counterfeit banknotes didn't know how much silver they had received, and they didn't feel tired after working until midnight every day. Zhang Yu found two double-storey inns next to the counterfeit banknote factory, observed them on the roof of the inn for two days, and found that many candles and lanterns were lit in the counterfeit banknote factory every night.
In order to print counterfeit banknotes without eliminating defects and leaks, the rooms of the factory are brightly lit at night, which is the best time for Zhang Yu to launch an attack.
So Zhang Yu chose to do it tonight.
Zhang Yu was making one last observation of the counterfeit banknote factory in front of him when he suddenly heard the voice of the innkeeper from under the tiles.
"Why don't you keep hearing footsteps on this roof, could it be a thief? Huang Er, you go up and have a look. ”
Hearing this, the faces of the soldiers on the roof changed, and they all looked at Zhang Yu.
The soldiers are now on duty in the gentry-controlled Anqing Mansion, hiding on the rooftops to make trouble. If he is seen and reported to the Anqing Mansion for inspection, he may be arrested and beaten to death by the gentry.
Running away is not a good option, friendly troops will also be in trouble elsewhere today, and tomorrow Anqing Mansion will be full of wind and rain, and it will be even more difficult to do it again.
Zhang Yu frowned, raised his index finger and made a quiet gesture to the soldiers. Then he came out with a dagger from behind him, and stood on the roof waiting for the innkeeper and his fellows to climb up.
Under the bright moonlight, the dagger in Zhang Yu's hand flashed with cold light, and it became sharper and sharper.
However, the little guy downstairs was reluctant to climb onto the roof.
"The shopkeeper has bad ears! Where is there any sound? Do not send me out of nothing. If you think there's a thief, climb up yourself! ”
Without waiting for the innkeeper to speak, the little man walked downstairs in three steps and two steps, and the footsteps disappeared around the corner.
The innkeeper is in his fifties, and he walks slowly, where will he climb to the roof? Hearing the words of the innkeeper, the Tiger Ben soldiers on the roof glanced at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
