The rest is simple.

Jiang Guomao was in charge of leading the way, and went straight to Songjiang with three hundred brocade guards to take down the two ships of the Zhang family as physical evidence, but such merchant ships were armed, and those sailors were quite strong, and there might even be comrades in the local area. In order to avoid accidents, Yang Qing simply called them a sailor warship from the riverside, and Huang Fei's soldiers were more loyal to him than Huang Fei, and twelve warships and a thousand sailors immediately escorted Jinyi Wei down the river.

That's enough.

Songjiang is the defense area of Huang Binqing, the general soldier of Wusong, and he will not interfere in the affairs of Jinyiwei.

At the same time, Yang Qing also sent a secret letter to Huang Fei.

After receiving the letter, the latter simply ordered the blockade of Yangzhou, as for the banner of ......

Salary.

The household department did not pay them military salaries.

Of course, the household department does owe them a lot of military salaries, Shi Kefa and Gao Hongtu in order to feed the army in various towns and repair the palace for Chongzhen, now they are almost empty, not only Huang Fei, even Wang Zhiren and other departments are owed wages. After all, six million a year, no matter how careful you calculate, it is definitely not enough, and it is natural for the court to owe salaries, when will the army of the Ming Dynasty pay enough? If you really want to calculate carefully, there is no army that is not owed, but Huang Fei is not short of money, when he evacuated Dengzhou, he basically ransacked the local gentry, anyway, he didn't loot in the end Li Zicheng was cheaper, in fact, this guy not only ransacked Dengzhou, he went south to rob one place all the way before crossing Haizhou.

So none of his subordinates was short of money.

Moreover, Yangzhou is a commercial hub after all, and there is an abundant supply of both grain and salt.

But they are still quite irritated in Yangzhou.

The gentry of Yangzhou obviously did not have any respect for their rough blanks, although Huang Fei was the general soldier of Yangzhou, only a few of his troops were allowed to be stationed in Yangzhou, and the vast majority of them had to be stationed in Guazhou under the opposition of Ma Minglu, the commander of Yangzhou Soldiers, in order to prevent disturbing the people in Yangzhou City, which affected the good mood of the salt merchants.

Huang Fei's subordinates have long wanted to do something.

Under the instruction of Yang Qing, under the pretext of making trouble, 20,000 troops poured into Yangzhou, quickly controlled all the city gates and various key roads, and blocked Yangzhou in a grand manner, prohibiting anyone in the city from entering and leaving, and then began to do things in Yangzhou City, such as robbing a shop and smashing an official office. There was even a team of rebels who rushed into the famous salt merchant Zhang's house in Yangzhou to extort, because he didn't see the head of the Zhang family, he rushed into the back house of the family and robbed his concubine, looted all kinds of property that could be found, and actually lit a fire when he left, but fortunately, the slaves were rescued in time, and did not cause too much loss, and the poor Zhang family ran to Ma Minglu to cry......

Of course, crying is useless.

Ma Minglu himself was so scared that he didn't dare to go out of the official office.

And it's not just the Zhang family.

In fact, Huang Fei and Yang Qing had already studied it and took this opportunity to make a profit, although they could still fish it when they raided the house in the future, but after all, it was not as simple as the looting in this chaos, so those rebellious soldiers not only robbed the Zhang family, but a large number of businessmen were victimized!

Then the emperor was furious.

Chongzhen, who learned the news, immediately summoned Shi Kefa and Gao Hongtu to denounce him.

Huang Fei is loyal, the department is the first to raise the flag to protect the country and rebel, they participated in the entire battle of Shanhaiguan, thousands of soldiers still participated in the Tashan blockade battle, for the rescue of the car made a great contribution, such a loyal division are owed you what to eat? Didn't you chill the soldiers? They fought bloodily to rescue me, and you didn't even pay enough money to get here, aren't you slapping me in the face?

Even Empress Yi'an summoned Shi Kefa.

It is said that she personally led Huang Fei's troops to protect the country and rebel, and Yang Qing promised to make up the arrears of military salaries over the years after going to Nanjing, and she also endorsed this matter, which is equivalent to her breaking her promise, no matter what, the court can't let these meritorious soldiers chill!

What else could Shi Kefa do?

He and Gao Hongtu could only embezzle a sum of military salaries that were originally going to be given to Zuo Liangyu.

As for Zuo Liangyu......

That had to be reassured by Shi Kefa in person, and Zuo Liangyu was not short of money to dominate Huguang.

Then Wang Chengen personally went to Yangzhou with military pay to pacify.

Obviously, he had to give face, and after receiving part of the military salary and the Holy Decree of His Majesty the Emperor, the soldiers who blocked Yangzhou opened the city gates, and the turmoil that lasted for a total of five days was calmed down, and the Yangzhou gentry who were suffering in panic finally breathed a sigh of relief. But in the end, this is not a big deal, in this kind of troubled times, what mutiny, salary, and looting as soldiers are commonplace, who has not done it in Jiangbei? Liu Zeqing ransacked Huaibei, robbed women in Huai'an to avenge personal revenge, and killed passing officials at will, what did he do? Gao Jie burned and looted on the way to the south like locusts passing through the red land, since they are all like this, then why do they ask Huang Fei to be an honest child?

In general, the losses of Yangzhou salt merchants are not large.

It's nothing more than being robbed of some floating wealth that is not worth mentioning to them, burning a few gardens and robbing some concubines and maidservants......

Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi.

"Sir."

Gao Dejie walked out of the torture chamber with the pear pestle with unfinished excitement, and the pear pestle still had blood dripping on it, and there was still a miserable wail in the torture chamber behind him.

"How?"

Yang Qing, who was drinking tea, said.

"Recruited!"

Gao Dejie said.

Behind him, a brocade guard handed over the confession.

Yang Qing took it and looked at it with satisfaction.

At this moment, a woman with a white face was brought out tremblingly, and before she was brought to Yang Qing, she screamed in fright and fell at his feet, but this woman was not tortured, she just observed it inside, it was obvious that even if she was just observing, she had already felt the same way, lying on the ground like a rabbit crouching in front of a tiger, cold sweat continued to fall on her white and tender face, gathering on the ground of the stone slab.

Yang Qing looked at her pretty face, then put down the confession and took the pear blossom pestle from Gao Dejie's hand, where he turned the handle eerily.

The woman trembled even more.

"You know what it's for, right?"

Yang Qing said.

The woman nodded tremblingly.

"Actually, I learned this thing from the red-haired people, and in the red-haired people, this is specially used to deal with female prisoners, but my lord, I am soft-hearted and merciful and cherish jade, and I generally don't use it to deal with women, especially beautiful women like you, but others may not pity fragrant jade like me."

Yang Qing said.

"Sir, give it to me, I like this the most!"

Gao Dejie said impatiently on the side.

At the same time, he looked at the woman with a strange look.

"The concubine moves, the concubine recruits anything!"

The woman looked at his demon-like expression, and without hesitation, she kowtowed and cried.

This is the main goal of the payroll.

The account books she and Jiang Guomao talked about were all brought out directly from the Zhang family by those troublesome soldiers under the leadership of the Jiang family's buddies, otherwise they would have to set fire!

In addition, Jin Yiwei arrested people, in fact, according to the rules, the criminal department signed the matter, that is, the driving sticker, without the driving sticker, there is no right to arrest people, and the criminal department does not sign the matter, the emperor has no choice, and the description of Jinyiwei as lawless is completely smeared by those civil officials.

The Ming Dynasty has a well-established civilian government, and everything is procedural.

But Yang Qing was not interested in going through any procedures.

Moreover, if his Jinyi Wei really went to Yangzhou to do this, he had to face the salt Ding under the salt merchants, and even the officials of the yamen at all levels in Yangzhou from top to bottom, these people delayed a little time, and the Zhang family hid everything that should be hidden, and he couldn't find anything he wanted at all. He wants to forcibly search Ma Minglu First of all, Bingbeidao itself is according to the deputy envoy of the judge, and he has to go through him to get people to Yangzhou to go through the procedure, Yang Qing will not make things so troublesome, how simple is it to directly let Huang Fei engage in a mutiny? The 20,000 army blocked Yangzhou to carry out a surprise attack, not only got everything they wanted, but also avoided the salt merchants from getting the wind and transferring their property, which is also indispensable, Yangzhou extends in all directions, these guys load the silver on the ship and have a place to hide, and they must close the door and beat the dogs. At this time, although Huang Fei lifted the blockade, he took the opportunity to forcibly settle in and control Yangzhou, and the city gates were still under his control, even if the Jin merchants knew that Chongzhen was going to deal with them, it was impossible to run.

"I just like smart people like you!"

Yang Qing said with satisfaction.

At this moment, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside, and then Jiang Guomao and the Jinyi guard who went to Songjiang walked in with a few people, and the young man led by him changed his face as soon as he saw the woman.

"Sir, none of them ran away!"

Jiang Guomao stepped forward and said.

"This woman has been rewarded to you!"

Yang Qing said.

"Thank you!"

Jiang Guomao said excitedly.

The woman glanced at him, but there was nothing special about it, she must have mastered the accounts for the Zhang family and must be familiar with all the business channels, and Jiang Guomao happened to be a pair of dog men and women, the latter took over these businesses, she continued to maintain fine clothes and food, this result is undoubtedly very satisfactory, I have to say that the lord is a good person, and she has taken her future into account, since she has nothing to worry about.

She immediately put on a coquettish smile, and then said to Yang Qing: "Sir, the concubine is willing to testify to all the crimes of collusion with the Zhang family for the sir." ”

"You yin woman, where is the Zhang family sorry for you!"

The man who had just arrived roared.

"Over to you!"

Yang Qing handed the pear pestle in his hand to Gao Dejie and said.

"Lord Xie!"

Gao Dejie took it and said.

"Come on, little brother, come here and I'll play a good game with you!"

He then walked over, put his arm around the young man's shoulder, looked at his rather handsome face, and put the pear blossom pestle in front of him and said with a smile.
