Shi Wengong and Zeng Tu came to the Qingzhou Mansion, knocked on the door with heavy salutes, and met Murong Yanda, the governor of Qingzhou.

Shi Wengong and Zeng Tu bowed their hands and said respectfully: "Meet your lord!" ”

Murong Yanda picked up a cup of tea and said, "I heard that you have something important to tell you!" ”

After Shi Wengong and Zeng Tu looked at each other, Zeng Tu took a step forward and said, "Yes, my lord!" ”

"What's the matter?"

"Recently, there has been a lot of uproar about robbing the robbers of the Birthday Gang, do you know who did it?"

"Oh, you know!"

"Well, the little one knows, it was a gang of bandits in Liangshan who did it!"

Murong Yanda was taken aback when he heard this, it was Liangshan's gang of bandits again, and these bandits were so restless. Do you really think that the court can't do anything about them?

Murong Yanda looked at the two people in front of him and asked, "Since it was Liangshan's gang who did it, you should tell the Jeju Governor or the Anyang Governor, why did you come to my Qingzhou!" ”

"I wonder if you've ever drunk a burnt knife? In addition to burning and plundering everywhere. They also deal in spirits burning knives.! ”

"You mean the burning knife was made by the gang of thieves in Liangshan?"

"Yes, sir. The burning knife can keep the cold warm, and the more north the place, the better it sells! I heard that in some places in Daliao, it can even be sold for a dozen taels per catty. Adults can imagine the profit in this! ”

When Murong Yanda heard that spirits could even be sold for more than a dozen taels a pound in Daliao, his eyes suddenly lit up!

It's okay if you don't know, but now that you know that a gang of thieves has such a lucrative thing in their hands, how can Murong Yanda not be moved.

It's just that Liangshan is in Jeju, but he Murong Yanda is the governor of Qingzhou. It stands to reason that even if you want to exterminate Yangsan, it will either be a matter of Jeju Zhiju, or the imperial court will send people and soldiers to encircle and suppress it. It couldn't be his turn.

Just when Murong Yanda hurriedly turned his brain and thought about how to take the matter of encircling and suppressing Liangshan on himself and seize the wine-making technique.

Zeng Tu said: "Lord Murong, do you know that Liangshan now has three or five thousand soldiers and horses, and they can grow to such a point, but Zhang Shuye, the governor of Jeju, did not report it, and did not send troops to eradicate this gang of bandits, but he actually allowed them to do evil everywhere, conquer Qingfeng Village, and snatch the Birth Gang, don't you think there is something strange in this?" ”

Uncle Zhang? Zhang Kegong's brother!

At the beginning, Zhang Shuye's younger brother Zhang Kegong impeached Cai Jing, which forced Cai Jing to step down, and Cai Jing also made a feud with Zhang and became angry with Zhang Shuye.

After Cai Jing recovered, he secretly collected Zhang Shuye's faults and demoted Zhang Shuye to the supervisor of Xi'an Grassland.

A few years later, Jang Shuye became the governor of Jeju by virtue of his merits.

Cai Jing was worried that he didn't have a chance to spend the whole night of Uncle Zhang, how could he have the opportunity for the other party to lead the troops to make meritorious contributions.

Thinking of the grievances between Zhang Shuye and Taishi Cai, the governor of Jeju, Murong Yanda knew that as long as he sent someone to Beijing to go through Taishi Cai's door, he would be responsible for encircling and suppressing Liangshan, and it would fall on him without accident.

Murong Yanda, who already had a countermeasure in his heart, stared at Zeng Tu and said, "This official is very curious, why are your Zeng family so concerned about bulldozing Liangshan!" Could it be that you have a grudge with them? ”

Zeng Tu said with a smile: "Ming people don't do dark things!" Presumably, adults should have heard that our Zeng family is a member of the Wanyan family of the Jurchen clan of the Great Liao Kingdom. My master intends to revolt against the rule of the Great Liao. In addition to the profits of the spirits, this spirit can keep the cold warm, and the spirit is also of great help to us to send troops to fight, so we want to flatten Liangshan to get the wine-making technique. If Lord Murong is willing to share the wine-making technique with us. Adults don't have to care about anything, our Zeng family is willing to give adults 30% of the profit every year. ”

When Murong Yanda heard this, he lowered his head and thought about what good he had?

razed Liangshan, and a good merit can be written on his own merits. If this Jurchen rebellion succeeds, weakens the strength of the Great Liao Kingdom, and helps me to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun in the Great Song Dynasty, I can't say that I still have a lot of credit!

And it is even more important to be able to get the sake making skills of the day, which is the most important.

Murong Yanda looked at Zeng Tu and said, "Forty percent, I want forty percent of your profits!" ”

Zeng Tu hesitated for a moment and turned his head to look at his master Shi Wengong.

Shi Wengong nodded, the production of green salt was more important than spirits.

Zeng Tu said: "Okay, just according to what the adults said, forty percent!" ”

Murong Yanda nodded and said, "I will send my henchmen to Beijing to fight for this opportunity!" You also have to go to Anyang Zhizhou as soon as possible and tell them that it was the Liangshan bandits who robbed the Shengchengang, so that the Taishi could speak to encircle and suppress Liangshan!! ”

Zeng Tu nodded and said, "The little one understands!" The little one set off for Anyang to denounce the Liangshan thieves! ”

Murong nodded and said, "Well, go ahead!" ”

In fact, there is no need for Murong Yanda to say, when Zeng Tu and Shi Wengong came to see Murong Yanda, the governor of Qingzhou, the shopkeeper of the Zeng family's pawnshop also appeared in front of the Anyang Yamen.

Seeing that the ten-day deadline was approaching day by day, Steward Li's attitude was getting worse day by day.

The mood of Anyang Zhizhou also became more and more irritable, and he was anxious to kill several officials in his own mansion, and the head of the government was also imprisoned and waited for the assassination to be exiled.

When Anyang Zhizhou was worried that his official position would not be kept, he heard the doorman say that someone knew the thief's caution.

Anyang Zhizhou was overjoyed and hurriedly shouted: "What are you waiting for, quickly invite someone in!" ”

With Zhizhou's shout, the person was directly brought into the main hall of the mansion.

When the pawnshop shopkeeper just wanted to bow down, Anyang Zhizhou asked directly: "Do you know who robbed the Birth Gang?" ”

The pawnshop shopkeeper nodded and said, "Yes, the little one knows!" My lord, it was the bandits in Liangshan who did it to rob the Birth Gang! ”

It's not like no one has coveted the bounty these days, and has come to lie. Even the government officials and the governor of Anyang sent people to spread false news in an attempt to fool the past.

But Taishi Cai sent Steward Li because he was a person who was like a person, how could he be fooled by these little tricks of theirs.

Steward Li interjected at this time and said, "You said that those people are Liangshan bandits, what evidence do you have?" ”

The pawnshop shopkeeper said unhurriedly: "My lord, the little one is the shopkeeper of a pawnshop in Jeju." A few days ago, a few people came to the small pawnshop and sold a gold pearl. The little one knew that this gold bead was very precious, and he saw that the group of people did not look like good people. The little one was afraid of causing trouble, so he asked the men to follow them secretly, and the men saw them go up to Liangshan with their own eyes. Later, the little one heard that the matter of the birth gang was in an uproar, I guess it wasn't the gang of thieves in Liangshan, who could it be! This is the gold bead that the bandits took to sell, please see! ”

As he spoke, the pawnshop shopkeeper took out a gold bead.

Steward Li hurriedly took a look, nodded and said, "It is indeed Jinzhu, it seems that the gang of thieves in Liangshan snatched the Birth Gang!" ”

Anyang Zhizhou almost cried on the spot when he heard Steward Li personally say that it was the Liangshan bandit who snatched the Shengchengang.

During this time, I couldn't sleep day and night because of the birth gang, and I was worried that the black gauze hat on my head would be lost in the near future.

Now I finally know that the bandit is a bandit in Yangsan, but Yangsan is in Jeju, so it doesn't matter what happens to him in Anyang!

Anyang Zhizhou said to Steward Li: "Mr. Li, since you already know that the robbers are from Liangshan, then Liangshan is under the jurisdiction of Jeju Prefecture, please tell the Taishi truthfully, and ask the Taishi to send troops to raze the Liangshan bandits and capture the thieves!" ”

Steward Li held the gold bead in his hand and nodded.

The shopkeeper humbly shouted, "My lord, the bounty? ”

The black gauze hat on his head was saved, and Anyang Zhizhou shouted in a good mood: "Come on, give him the bounty!" ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly bowed down and shouted, "Lord Xie! ”

Knowing the news of the Liangshan bandits, Steward Li hurried to Tokyo.

At the Taishi Mansion, Cai Jing looked at Steward Li who was standing, frowned and asked, "Was it the robbers in Liangshan who robbed my son-in-law of the birthday gift given to me?" ”

Steward Li replied respectfully, "Yes, Master! The subordinates have confirmed that it is a golden pearl, no doubt! ”

Hearing Steward Li's answer, Taishi Cai had some doubts in his heart.

Two days ago, Qingzhou Zhizhou just sent someone to play that Qingfeng Village, Wuzhi Village, Huarong colluded with Liangshan bandits, and the inside and outside should work together to conquer Qingfeng Village, burn, kill and rob. Ask for troops to exterminate the bandits and avenge the wrongs of the people who died in vain!

Today, I know that the robber who hijacked his birth gang is the Liangshan bandit.

Is the Liangshan bandit too rampant, or is there a hidden secret!

Taishi Cai looked at Steward Li sternly and said, "Are you sure that it was the Liangshan bandits who robbed the Shengchengang!" ”

Steward Li hurriedly bowed down and shouted: "Taishi, who I deceive, I don't care about you, Taishi!" The little ones dare to come back and tell you after confirming it. Taishi, please see, this is the gold bead that the robbers of Liangshan sent people to the pawnshop to realize. This gold bead is worth thousands of taels of silver, and if the shopkeeper is not afraid of causing trouble, how can he take out the gold beads worth thousands of taels for nothing. You must know that the bounty is only a little more than a thousand taels! ”

Listening to the housekeeper's words, Taishi Cai went to his nose.

After decades of officialdom, how could he not understand the truth that he must be given first when he asked, and he didn't care about the housekeeper's reasons at all.

Taishi Cai lowered his head and thought for a moment, and asked, "Where is Liangshan?" ”

Steward Li hurriedly replied: "Back to Taishi, it's in Jeju!" ”

Cheju?

As soon as Taishi Cai heard about Jeju, he immediately remembered that Jeju Zhizhou was his nemesis, Zhang's brother Zhang Shuye.

I demoted him to the end, but I didn't expect that guy to climb up again.

I'm worried that I don't have a chance.

As for whether the Shengchengang was snatched by the robbers in Liangshan, Taishi Cai didn't care at this time.

It's just 100,000 yuan, and Taishi Cai doesn't pay attention to it at all. As long as you can fight your political enemies, what if you spend another 100,000 yuan!

On the fifth watch of the next day, the net whip sounded three times, and the civil and military shifts were busy standing together.

Seeing Song Huizong sitting down, the palace official shouted: "If there is something to go out of the class, there is nothing to roll up the curtain and retreat." ”

Taishi Cai was the first to come out of the class and said: "Today, there are Jeju Yangsan thieves who gather murderers and evil parties to create great evil. A few days ago, Zhujiazhuang was killed, and now Qingfeng Village has been conquered, and the warehouse is hidden, and all of them have been taken captive. This is a big trouble for his henchmen, if he is not punished early, he will develop a thief day by day, and it will be difficult to subdue him. Fu begging holy break. ”

The Son of Heaven was shocked when he heard this, and immediately issued a holy decree, and commissioned Gao Taiwei to select generals and transfer troops to go to suppress and arrest, so as to sweep away the water and kill the species.

Taishi Cai hurriedly said: "Measure this grass, there is no need to raise soldiers. You can lead the Qingzhou Zhizhou to send troops to exterminate the grass kou! ”

The Son of Heaven made a decree and issued a holy decree: "Even if the Privy Council sends someone to Qingzhou, order the governor of Qingzhou to lead the soldiers and horses of the two states to encircle and suppress Liangshan." ”

After receiving the will of the imperial court, Murong, the governor of Qingzhou, was immediately overjoyed and sent someone to find Zeng Tu and Shi Wengong.

"Now that the imperial court has decreed that I am responsible for bulldozing Liangshan, since you have found me, there must be an overall plan, tell me about your plan!"

Zeng Tu nodded and said: "My lord, there are eight hundred miles of water outside Liangshan, if those bandits are nested in Liangshan and there is no water master, they will not be afraid of encirclement and suppression." But the little one inquired and heard that the thief leader Shi Jin had a concubine who was Hu Sanniang, the daughter of the Duke of Hu Zhuang and Hu. That's how you can do it...... Such...... It will definitely be able to catch Liangshan in one go! ”

Qingzhou Zhizhou Murong heard a loud shout: "This plan is very good, just do as you say!" ”
