Chapter 199: Survival
Fuqu Tianhai was completely stupid, he leaned on the big tree of Yuwenshu, and knew the relationship between Yang Chong and Yuwenshu, so he dared to play a little trick, so Yang Chong had to regain face on the spot, and the Qiang family dared to sell the iron mine to Gaochang County to make trouble, how bold it was. Fuqu Tianhai regretted it at this time, he shouldn't have come today, it is conceivable how effective Qiang Junjian's request can be, Yang Chong does not regard him as an accomplice, he is already gracious.
Kou Jiuheng clapped his hands, two scribes and Yang Heng and Bai Litao walked in, Yang Chong slowly drank the wine in the cup and said, "Master Qiang, for the sake of the face of the Lord Qiang, I will give you a chance to defend yourself." ”
Qiang Chengzhu relaxed, took a sip and calmed down and said: "The Koji Boshao of the Koji family who stayed in the mine, we also had old customers in Yiwu, and Koji Boshao said that the last time I went to settle the battle with the other party. Unexpectedly, Yiwu Iron Works was already Tang Guogong's, Tang Guogong looked at the iron ore and said that the iron ore would be under the management of Shanshan County in the future, and as long as it was delivered to them, it would be returned to us; The Emperor said the same thing, and advised the Koji clan to move their family to Shanshan or Yiwu. ”
Qiang Junjian saw that Qiang Chengzhu still wanted to have reservations, and reminded: "Master of the family, but the ore is now sold to the Turks. ”
Qiang Chengzhu glanced at his clan brother, how could he not understand Qiang Junjian's thoughts, seeing that Yang Chong trusted him so much, he wanted to take the opportunity to make some more articles in the clan. Qiang Chengzhu gritted his teeth and said: "The scale of Yiwu Iron Works is too small to eat the amount of the mine, and Lu Boshao asked Shijia to contact customers with us in the surrounding area, but I don't know the specific situation." ”
"Qiang family master, do you think that I took your iron ore by force?" Yang Chong said playfully: "You are merchants, and the county has exchanged the Zhang family's real estate for your iron ore, and you have not suffered a loss, but as long as the Zhang family's iron factory does not use your ore, and the ore is not sold in this area, you will contact the Turks sooner or later." The county just didn't want to have this trouble, but I didn't expect it to dodge, how did the three of you share the spoils? ”
Qiang Chengzhu hurriedly said: "The business is all done by Lu Boshao, and we didn't participate at all, but Li Boshao promised that after the iron ore was returned to Shan, we would be able to get back the original shares without spending a penny, so we didn't know about it." ”
Knowing that it is not a big crime not to report, Qiang Chengzhu has obviously not collapsed, Yang Chong read the scribe's transcript, asked Qiang Chengzhu and others to sign and postpone the order: "Gaochang County is under martial law, arrest Koji Boshao, and surround the Koji family historian." Du Yan, you go back to Puchang County immediately, the people on the mine and their families live in Linchuan City, you go and arrest all of them according to the list; Yang Heng led 200 cavalry to assist, and he could go to the mine to arrest him, and those who blocked and made trouble would be killed. ”
The faces of the four people of Frustrated Qu Tianhai were like ashes, Yang Chong was preparing to kill again, Yang Chong finished arranging, turned around and asked: "Are the four of you going to go back to deal with it, or do you stay in the governor's mansion." ”
Qiang Junjian hurriedly said: "Of course you stay, it's not safe to go out under martial law." ”
Yang Chong saw that the three of them agreed, so he said: "I won't let you express your position in vain, the current situation, it is difficult for the iron mine to receive the shares of the county, Fenghuanggou Iron Mine Koji family, you two have divided, I will not take back the real estate that bought the iron mine, and pay the government 10% interest every year." ”
Frustrated Qu Tianhai is even more nervous, Yang Chong's intentions are too obvious, as long as Qiang Chengzhu still hides, it is likely that everything will be empty when the water comes out; Obviously, Qiang Chengzhu also thought of this, and immediately remedied: "My lord, there are Turkic spies in Gaochang City, and it is Mengzhong's jewelry store. ”
Meng Chong claimed to be a descendant of Rou, and the jewelry store was a medium-sized store in Gaochang City, Yang Chong said unexpectedly: "I knew it on the way back from the envoy Kangguo, otherwise I wouldn't have invited Shi Shu Huxi to Chang'an, and your deal with the Turks was explained by Meng Chong." ”
The mystery couldn't be simpler, as soon as Yang Chong freed his hand, he arranged for someone to monitor Meng Chong, and when Meng Chong went out to be alone, he arrested the person to the governor's mansion, and Meng Zhong was tortured, and when Meng Chu showed the secret of the Chijin Turkic that he had found out, and threatened to leak it to Meng Chong's head, Meng Chong couldn't hold it anymore and told all the secrets, including the Shi family and Shi Shu Hu Xitong contact mine transactions.
Yang Chong was actually too busy, neglected the mine during that time, was surprised and delighted to get the news, immediately arranged manpower, began to investigate the mine, tracked and captured five carts of iron ore and traders on both sides, and obtained the confessions of the Koji family and the Turks.
Qiang Chengzhu is now completely recalled, the problem given to Yang Chong by the center and Li Yuan and others has been counterattacked, but the fire at the city gate has affected the pond fish, and the unfortunate ones are the Gaochang people who participated in it. The small ore business caused a catastrophe, and Qiang Chengzhu could only pray for the Koji family, glad that he had escaped the catastrophe.
Gaochang City is a warm temperate arid desert climate, dry, hot, windy, long and hot summers, short and cold winters. In the middle of the night, the sound of troop movements and the shouts of martial law could be heard in the streets, making the whole city think that the bloody night of more than two months ago was going to be repeated. Fortunately, I didn't hear the sound of fighting, and I didn't find any fire from the window, so I stayed up until dawn, poked my head out to see, except for the soldiers under martial law, it seemed that there was nothing abnormal except for the sunlight that was a little dazzling.
The head of the Koji family, Koji Ganyan, is the uncle of the former Gaochang King Koji Boya, and there is nothing he can do in the face of Mi Shun who surrounds Koji Mansion, Mi Shun neither rushes in, nor does he allow people to go out, and he waits until noon to speak, and the county guard Yang Chong arrives in Gaochang City to meet with Koji Ganyan. Koji Ganyan was almost seventy years old, and he had long been indifferent to life and death, so he immediately asked his family to prepare a car and was escorted to the county guard's mansion; Yang Chong's face was calm, and he just asked how much did Koji Ganyan know about the situation in the Fenghuanggou mine?
How could Koji Ganyan not know that every transaction of Koji Boshao was recorded in the Koji family, and Koji Ganyan said with a wry smile: "The old man is old, and he can't care about the reputation of a family owner, and the mine is handled by Boshao, and I heard that I have been waiting for the county to send someone to accept it." For convenience, Bo Shao lives in Linchuan City, and I am afraid that I have to ask Bo Shao, Lord Yang, is something wrong? ”
is worthy of an old fox, who speaks without leaking, knowing that now is the time for a strong man to break his arm, and he has picked himself up; But Yang Chong came prepared, how could he let him escape. Yang Chong asked people to bring a list, a total of six people, and asked Koji Ganyan to arrange someone to go to Koji Mansion to call, and when the people went, Meng Pan, who was sitting with him, told the family of Koji Mansion: "Tell them, don't die, once you die, you can only raid the house to find evidence, and then the wife and children will be affected." ”
This is to prevent the Koji family from killing people, Koji Ganyan smiled reluctantly, and said to the family: "You must bring people." ”
