Chapter 125: Zhao Zi is back

Cui Daoshu continued: "The materials are still being counted, and it is estimated that they are worth fifty or sixty thousand. However, Haiyan should be handed over to the Assassin Shifu, and some gold and silver should be handed over to him, so as to block the mouths of officials at all levels. ”

Antaro and Boris looked at each other, both excited. Boris said with emotion: "It seems that raiding the house is a shortcut to getting rich!" The He family is just a small tyrant, and they have so much money, if they copy those illegal high-ranking families, we will send it! ”

An Dalang agreed: "Lao Bao is right, it seems that the inspection department should vigorously investigate the situation in the vicinity and clean up those big people who do bad things." It's better to be an official! You can justifiably go to the house. ”

The three brothers all laughed, and Cui Daoshu said: "Not only these big families, it is said that there are many pirate gangs hidden on the nearby islands, and they often plunder passing merchant ships, and it is estimated that these pirates are also very rich. If we can find the pirate's lair, it will be very rewarding. Dalang, it's up to you in the future. ”

An Dalang immediately said: "It's no problem at all, in the future, I will take the fleet to clear the nearby islands and wipe out all the pirates!" ”

Boris also said: "Fighting pirates is a good way to train soldiers, and by the way, you can also make a fortune, which is a matter of killing two birds with one stone." We're short of money right now! If we can get a lot of money as soon as possible, we will be able to take in more displaced people, and then our power will become stronger and stronger. ”

An Dalang continued: "Today, the guards escorted the He brothers through the streets, and the reaction of the people was very strong, many people went to the county government to complain, and the Kang County Order was very busy, and our guards helped him maintain order and pacify the people. The steward and the bookkeeper also helped the people write the papers, and it is estimated that they will be busy for a few days. ”

Cui Daoshu nodded: "It seems that the He family has done a lot of bad things!" They are heinous and we will not let these wicked people go! ”

Boris continued: "I asked Guo Jintao to send a boat back to Qishan Island, and it is estimated that a ship will come back tomorrow." During the day, I asked Wang Xiaosan to spread the word around the island, saying that we would hire carriages and personnel to carry materials, and that the salary would be very generous, and that the wages would be settled on the same day, and that there would be no arrears. It is said that many people want to come to work, so it saves us a lot of work. ”

Cui Daoshu thought about it and said: "Then let's start moving materials to the dock tomorrow, some of them have been counted today, and they will be gradually transported away tomorrow, so as not to delay time." ”

The three brothers discussed for a while, and then went back to rest.

The next morning, Boris asked Wang Xiaosan to inform the residents of the island to come to work. After a while, many people came one after another, as well as more than two dozen carriages and donkey carts.

Zhang Hong commanded the guards to maintain order and let the residents of the island start carrying supplies. After filling the carts, the shipment began to the dock. Boris followed towards the pier. An Dalang stayed in the town, and Cui Daoshu took some calligraphy and paintings and went to visit Kang County.

When the convoy reached the dock, Boris saw five merchant ships approaching the pier. The ships began to set sail and give way to the berths at the dock. A merchant ship docked and lowered the gangplank.

Zhao Zizhong was the first to walk down, and Boris hurried to meet him.

"Boss, why are you here?"

Zhao Zizhong hurriedly asked, "How are the brothers and the guards?" Are there any injuries? ”

Boris said with a smile: "It's all right, these chickens and dogs are all vulnerable, and none of them are injured." ”

Zhao Zizhong breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, we're all worried about everyone." The sailors who went back yesterday didn't know the specifics, so they said that you had a conflict with the bullies on the island, and that many people died. ”

Boris was a little embarrassed: "Boss, it's all my fault, I didn't explain it clearly, which made you worried." ”

Boris then told what happened, and Zhao Zizhong was relieved. He spoke: "I have brought more than 300 displaced people to help carry the supplies, and in a moment let the guards maintain order, and set sail as soon as a ship is filled." ”

At this time, Guo Jintao jumped off the warship with some sailors and came to the dock. Zhao Zizhong greeted him and asked him to carry the supplies with the sailors.

Everyone began to get busy, and Zhao Zizhong said to Boris: "There's nothing going on here, you take me to He's house to see, I want to see what a bully looks like in this era." ”

The two walked towards He's house, and when they passed by the county office, they saw that many people had gathered in front of the county office, some of whom came to complain, and some of whom were watching the excitement. A few tables were set up in front of the door, and several of the Cui family's stewards and bookkeepers were helping the people to write pleadings, and some of them were crying and accusing the He family of crimes.

Boris said to Zhao Zizhong: "Boss, if you look at this scene, you will know what kind of local tyrant and bully the He family is, right?" ”

Zhao Zizhong said with a solemn face: "It is not surprising that there are such bad people in any era. We just want to work hard to make our territory a pure land, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and we will be at ease. ”

At this time, he saw Cui Daoshu walking out of the gate of the county office, and several officials and officials sent him out and said goodbye to him.

When Cui Daoshu walked out of the crowd, Zhao Zizhong greeted him and said with a smile: "Seventh, brother, I'm here." ”

Cui Daoshu was surprised: "Brother, why are you here?" ”

"I'm a little worried about you, so I'll come and have a look."

Cui Daoshu looked around and whispered, "Let's go to He's house and talk in detail, there are too many people here." ”

The three brothers walked to the He family's compound, and when they came to the gate, they saw An Dalang directing people to carry supplies, and he was sweating profusely.

Seeing Zhao Zizhong's arrival, An Dalang hurriedly ran over and said with a smile: "Brother, why are you here?" Don't you worry about us? ”

Zhao Zi punched him hard, "Of course I'm not at ease, who can rest assured that you have made such a big thing!" Du Dalei is also coming, and he is suppressed by me, otherwise it will be lively here. ”

The brothers all laughed, entered the He family's compound together, and came to the main hall. Zhao Zi poured a cup of tea, drank it in one gulp, and then sat down.

The brothers also sat down, and Cui Daoshu said first: "I went to see Kang County Ling just now, and he was very busy. There were many people who complained, and some officials of the county government were also implicated, all of which were taken down by our guards. Kang County Ling was very grateful to us, and said that he would interrogate the He family's case as soon as possible, and then report to the Mingzhou Assassin Mansion and send the He family's criminals to Mingzhou. ”

Cui Daoshu took a sip of tea and continued: "I sent him some calligraphy and paintings, saying that they are all elegant things, he excused himself a few times, and finally accepted it. I guess he won't embarrass us about transporting the He family's supplies. ”

Zhao Zizhong asked, "What about the He family's houses and fields?" ”

Cui Daoshu replied: "This has to wait for the case to be dealt with before it can be decided, I will go to the Mingzhou Assassin Mansion to dredge it up, and spend some money to buy it, it is estimated that it is not a big problem." ”

Boris said: "Now that we have a foothold on Zhoushan Island, we should recruit some displaced people to come and cultivate the land." ”

Cui Daoshu shook his head and said: "Don't be in a hurry, it is estimated that there are still many tenants in the He family, and if you drive them away, something will happen." Let's take our time. ”

Zhao Zizhong said: "You're right, let's set up a patrol inspection department first, so that the residents of the island know our authority, and then slowly infiltrate." ”

---------------- ---------------- --------------

March 17 of the first year of Qiande (963 AD)

After a few days of hard work, everyone transported most of the He family's materials and money back to Qishan Island. The inspection department was also officially established in the original Wang's shop, and Kang County Ling personally came to congratulate and inscribed the plaque of the inspection department.

The brothers invited the people of Kang County Linghe County to have a sumptuous banquet and sealed a big red envelope for everyone. Everyone was satisfied, and after they were full of wine and food, they went back one after another.

The four brothers returned to the compound of the inspection department and discussed the follow-up. Zhao Zizhong said: "Let's go back tomorrow, leave a team, and guard here." It is estimated that no one on Zhoushan Island will dare to mess with us now. ”

An Dalang said: "Let Gao Sheng stay, he is stable and has a very careful heart, and he will not make any mistakes." ”

Zhao Zi nodded emphatically: "Okay, let's do it." ”

Cui Daoshu thought about it, went out to let Wang Xiaosan outside, and said to him: "Brother Wang, you will stay in the Inspection Department in the future and be the steward here." Your monthly money has risen to three times, and there will be a bonus at the end of the year. ”

Wang Xiaosan was very excited and kept telling everyone, "Thank you, gentlemen, I will work hard and take care of the people who stay." ”

Cui Daoshu asked him not to be polite, and then instructed him: "You have to inquire more about every move on the island in the future, and if you have something, tell Captain Gao who stays behind, and be the eyes and ears of the inspection department, understand?" ”

Wang Xiaosan hurriedly said, "Family master, I know. I'm a local, so I'm very knowledgeable, so I'll be more inquiring. ”

Cui Daoshu continued: "There is one more thing, you have to cooperate with Captain Gao to protect the He family's houses and fields. Spring ploughing is about to begin, and you have to appease the tenants of the He family and let them continue to cultivate the land of the He family. Well, tell the tenants that this year's rent will be reduced by 30 percent, and let them work hard. ”

Wang Xiaosan agreed to come down and went out to make arrangements.

Zhao Zizhong said: "This kid looks very clever, if he is trained well, he will be a talent in the future." ”

Boris asked: "Has the county government interrogated the He family's case clearly?" What to do with those captives? ”

Zhao Zi thought about it again and said: "We don't have to worry about the affairs of the county government, tomorrow we will send these people and thugs from the He family to the Mingzhou Assassin Mansion and let them take over this case." They sold illicit salt, and they were caught by the Inspection Department, which is a capital offense. We've also made meritorious contributions! ”

Cui Daoshu also said: "Then even the private salt will be transported together, and some gold, silver and copper coins will be added, and a few thousand yuan will be enough." ”

The brothers discussed some details and decided to let Zhang Hong take someone to escort the He family's people and private salt to Mingzhou tomorrow.
