Chapter 507: The Rise of Northern Jin (14)

The soldiers in bright armor were a little disdainful of this, they worked as mercenaries outside the fortress, earned money and food, and gained knowledge, and they did not look down on these gold and silver, nor the hungry ghosts of their colleagues.

If the scramble is fierce, the mercenaries will stop after a few reprimands, and there are mercenaries to maintain order, but there is not much chaos caused by property.

Of course, if there is a surplus of goods, or if those ordinary border soldiers want to curry favor with the mercenaries and specially distribute their property, the mercenaries will also laugh at it.

Originally, the mercenaries' plan was just to break into the mansion of the eight grain merchants at night, and after the killing, they took advantage of the convenience of the Zhangjiakou border army among them to escape from the fortress, as long as they were not blocked in Zhangjiakou, no one could do anything to them afterwards.

The arrival of Sun Kewang made this plan more detailed, since he wanted to deal with Fan, it was best to kill him with one blow, rather than startling the snake.

The steps of when to start, how to do it, where are the heads of the eight families, which mercenaries are responsible for killing these people, how to set fire to create chaos, how long to start retreating, etc., are extremely detailed.

Especially with Zhang Xiaoyuda's help, it will not be difficult to kill Fan Xuan and these people, and it will not let this trip only hurt the other party's skin, at least it can make these eight families hurt, especially without the leader, which is more conducive to the future actions of Zhuolu Trading Company.

After Geng Ruqi, the governor of Xuanda, also decided to come to this troubled water, with the support of such a feudal official, everyone's lives were guaranteed, and there was no need to think about escaping, but on the other hand, after the starting point was completely different, the plan had to be more detailed and thorough.

Fortunately, with the detailed guidance of Song Xiance and He Wenrui in the letter, the whole thing was also settled.

First of all, it is not enough to raid and kill the head of these eight families, in order to make it convenient for Lord Geng to write to the court afterwards, these eight families can't let go of any of them.

There are also those generals, who originally didn't plan to deal with them, but for the sake of Governor Geng, they had to find a way to trap them so that Lord Geng could fall.

As for the massive wealth of Fan and others, of course, they can't be like the previous plan and burn them down, which would be a pity.

After a letter negotiation with Governor Geng, the final plan was as follows: all the belongings of the eight grain merchants, including money, grain, cloth, etc., were given to the mercenaries participating in the operation as a reward.

Don't look at it as only thirty percent, but in terms of the scale of the eight grain merchants, there is already a lot of money, and the mercenaries are naturally more satisfied with this layer of security.

"I said Ma Er, can you do it, can you find the Fan family's cellar, or leave a few live mouths to torture?" Zou Qun, who is very familiar with the map of the Fan Mansion, but walking in the Fan Mansion at this time, he can't help but be a little dizzy, and he also has some doubts about whether Ma Er can find the secret of the Fan family.

Zou Qun and the others have already controlled the warehouses that can be easily found, and sent people to guard them, and what they are looking for now is the secret vault of the Fan family, which is the real big harvest, so they can't help but care.

"Hey, look down on me, don't you? Tell you, take the word no, come with me, keep it so that you won't be disappointed. Seeing that Zou Qun was suspicious of him, Ma Er was quite unconvinced, and led the way.

Ma Er can be so sure, naturally it is Zhang Xiaoyuda's guidance, it should have been one of the two of them who came in person, but other parts of the Fan family also need someone to lead the way, and Ma Er also has the heart to see it, so he personally went out to find it.

In fact, after this action, the Zhuolu Trading Company and the Zhuolu Trade Union did not take any benefits, except for the mercenaries of Sancheng, the rest were all at the disposal of Geng Ruqi, the governor of Xuanda.

Zhiwen They don't take advantage of it's not that they have a high style, or they don't look down on this bit of money, but after this incident, it will inevitably cause a big shock in the officialdom of the entire Xuanda area, and it will also affect the court, and Lord Geng needs a large amount of money to get up and down and stabilize the situation, so he should support Governor Geng.

Not to mention anything else, the border troops who have been in arrears for a long time need Governor Geng to take out real money to appease, with the support of the army, his position as governor is well deserved, the eight major grain merchants have a lot of property, and the food and salary owed to the border army will not be less, and Governor Geng is more of a rich man.

Those subordinates who are in favor of the yin and the yin, after losing the big financiers such as the Fan family and others, have no financial resources, and Master Geng has money in his hands, so he can better divide and win over the attack.

And above the court, those who are willing to help Geng Ruqi speak, Lord Geng also has to give a large amount of money in return, and the expenses are also not small.

Of course, even if you don't take one or two pieces of silver, it can be regarded as a very big gain to get rid of such a potential opponent as the eight major grain merchants, and Governor Geng also promised that the salt introduction of these eight families will be at the disposal of Zhou Chengyun in the future.

This is nothing for the Zhuolu Trading Company, and it is estimated that the amount of green salt outside the plug will not be able to rise for a while, and it is estimated that it will not be marketed in the customs for a long time in order to win over and divide the grassland departments.

But for the salt merchants of Jinnan, it is a great benefit, and it can be regarded as an explanation given to him by Zhiwen because they didn't have time to greet Zhou Chengyun because of this matter.

"Rhoda." Although Ma Er seemed so sure, Zou Qun was still not at ease, so he called Luo Da, who was following him, and commanded in a low voice, "You arrange a few people to go and talk to those guys, don't kill all the people, especially those who have a little status, and if you really can't find the secret vault later, you can pry it out of their mouths." ”

Luo Da listened, and arranged again, he didn't have to run in person, his task tonight was to take people to keep a close watch on the secret vault he found, and wait for Governor Geng's people to come and take over the inventory.

The voices of the two of them were very low, and Ma Er, who was in the lead, did not hear it at all, and was still looking for the secret vault in front of him with great interest.

The secret vault has not yet been found, and there has been a response to what Zou Qun ordered just now, and a soldier quickly came to Luo Da's side and whispered a few words, and then Luo Da said to Zou Qun with a strange expression, "Boss, the old man of the Fan family has found it." ”

"Who? Fan Xuan? ”

Seeing Luo Da nodding, Zou Qun was very happy, this person must have known where the secret vault was, and he didn't notice that Luo Da's expression was wrong.

"What about people? Quick, bring him here," Zou Qun commanded, and then muttered to himself, "I have to think of a way to pry open this old fellow's mouth." ”
