Chapter 13: Thieves and Deals
Li Ming was assassinated, and after returning to Shanyin County, he went directly back to Li's house to recuperate from his injuries, but this incident caused a sensation in the end.
"Whose family? Don't tell me it's Yamagoe! Li Ming went to the free clinic this time, and Shanyue worshipped him as an ancestor! Gu Yan looked directly at the other patriarchs, these were all the prominent clans of Huiji County, but they were still much worse than the Gu family.
The four families of Jiangdong, the Gu family almost monopolized the grain trade, the Lu family monopolized the cloth and fur business, the Zhu family monopolized transportation and iron ore, and the Zhang family monopolized the salt industry. The other wealthy families basically rely on these four families, and what leaks out of their fingers to support their own families, and they don't even dare to look at each other for the four major families.
"It's our family!" Wei Xin couldn't understand why the domestic dog bit people indiscriminately!
"What do you have to explain?" Gu Yan looked at Wei Xin, the Wei family has a relationship with the Zhu family, for the sake of the Zhu family's face, he can give him a chance to explain.
"The leader is the house slave of the Wei family, and his father has taken refuge in the Wei family!" Wei Xin is also having a headache for this.
"You really didn't order it?" Looking at Wei Xin's constipated appearance, Gu Yan knew that Wei Xin didn't know about this matter.
"It's not the Wei family, and I don't know what crazy that slut is!" Wei Xin replied depressedly.
"You have to solve this, otherwise you, the county lieutenant, will have to go to suppress the bandits!" Gu Yan said slowly, while Wei Xin was silent.
What is a solution? In the final analysis, it is to give away part of the interests, and the interests of the Wei family to Li Ming. Li Ming is not a nouveau riche, he has the support of the Xun family behind him, do you really think that others will think that it is really the black hand of the Shanyue Rebellion? Although, it is......
Wei Xin hadn't started to act yet, but he didn't want Li Ming to go to the government with a sackcloth bandage the next day. didn't wait for Wei Xin to speak, but directly summoned everyone.
"Li has been doing free clinics all the way, and I have seen many Yue people living a hard life, and I can't bear it. Unexpectedly, there are such a small number of Yue people, who devote themselves to thieves, rob and even directly kill people and goods! In the long run, who else would like to come and settle down? Li Ming roared indignantly, and then looked at the crowd, "Where is the thief?" ”
"Thief Cao Xiaoyao, see your lord!" Xiao Yao immediately stepped forward in a 'hurry'.
"Your duty is to arrest local thieves, so many mountains and crosses are entrenched in the mountains, gathering crowds to rob, and rampant in the township, why don't you care?" Li Ming roared angrily, "Being in his position, not seeking his own politics, what use do you want?" ”
"Lord Qiyu, my subordinates have not been in office for more than a month, and I don't know much about Huiji County. Those strongmen are entrenched in the mountains and forests, the cottages are very hidden, and their subordinates are also outsiders, and the people do not cooperate, how can they find out? Xiao Yao immediately complained.
"Lieutenant Wei, you are also a native of Huiji County, but I don't know how many strongmen there are in this Huiji County?" Li Ming looked directly at Wei Xin.
"This ...... It is our job to take the thief against the thief...... Let's take care of it, right? Wei Xin could see that Li Ming planned to pull out all these cottages, which was not good.
"You said it too!" Li Ming directly retorted, "You are responsible for the traitors, can there be rebels in Huiji County at present?" No! These are just thieves, and these are the jurisdiction of thieves! I want to ask now, does the county lieutenant know where these thieves are located?! ”
Wei Xin wanted to speak and stopped, Li Ming suddenly slapped the case, and was furious: "Wei Xin, as the Sima of Huiji County, I don't ask you to ask the thief, after all, it is not within your scope of responsibility, but where the thief is active, you don't even know?" ”
After a pause, he roared directly: "Okay, anyway, Li is an outsider and doesn't understand the rules!" I only know that someone wants my life now, and this time my life is almost gone, what about next time? Am I still going to sit here and wait for someone to cut my head off? You don't care, I'll take care of it! Xiao Yao, give you the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, order the soldiers and horses of the thief Cao, and follow me to ask for the thief! ”
"My lord, the enemy is clear and I am secret, so I have to investigate it clearly!" Xiao Yao hurriedly requested.
"If you don't come, if you don't come, I'll change to a thief!" Li Ming kicked him to the ground, acting very vulgar.
"I'll go, can't I go?" Xiao Yao gritted his teeth and responded with a gesture of silently bearing.
The next day, Li Ming ordered five hundred thieves Cao Shipu, and he was wearing ordinary leather armor, but the yellow sand and broken army guns were rare boutiques. It wasn't until this time that everyone remembered that Li Ming was too guarded by the meeting, but he was a dignified Beizhong general!
"Your brother-in-law, isn't he just a reckless man? The situation in the north and south is fundamentally different, the north is more plain, the south is more mountainous and forested, and the Yue people hide in the mountains, which is difficult to deal with. It is very unwise for him to kill him without investigating it! Gu Yan found Xun Biao, and the latter was still signing official documents in Youzaiyou.
"The Gu family is in Huiji County, how many interests do they occupy?" Xun Biao didn't speak, just asked.
"Less than 20 percent! The Wei family is only one percent! Gu Yan was silent for a few seconds, and then replied directly.
"In the future, the interests of Ji County, the Gu family will be forty percent, the Xun family will be thirty percent, the Li family will be one percent, and you will arrange the rest! The point is that we are missing a chicken, and I think Wei's is good! Xun Biao looked at Gu Yan.
"No, Wei Teng, the son of the Wei family, is a celebrity today!" Gu Yan shook his head.
"Then it's purely for Wei Xin! Xun is willing to share half of the benefits! Xun Biao said with a smile.
"Are you so optimistic about Li Ming? I don't understand, why is Xun so confident? Gu Yan sat down in front of Xun Surface.
"Xun came to Jiangnan and didn't plan to be a passerby! If you still can't rest assured, wait until he is done with the thief, and then see! Xun Biao continued to revise the official document and did not raise his head.
The Gu family is indeed deeply rooted in Jiangnan, but it is nothing in Dahan, leaving Jiangnan, it is nothing! If he didn't plan to increase his influence and reputation, why did Gu Yong apprentice with Cai Yong?
"My nephew Gu Li, serving as Huangmenlang in Luoyang!" Gu Yan said his conditions, he could help the Xun clan to enter Jiangnan, and the price was that the Xun clan would help their clansmen in the court.
"Good!" Xun Biao smiled, and the deal was concluded.
The next day, a distribution map appeared in Li Ming's hand, as for who sent it, the person who sent it would not leave any clues anyway. According to this distribution map, more than 20 Yue cottages are in the map, and the key is that behind these cottages, there are wealthy families involved. The key is that among these cottages, there are also cottages where the Gu family intervenes, and they really have to be ruthless to the enemy and to themselves when they do big things!
"Sons, let's give those strongmen in Huiji County a huge surprise!" Li Ming raised his arms and shouted.
"Hahaha, I guess there is no surprise, the fright is real!" Dian Jie laughed, while Yan Xing and Huang Zhong also smiled at the corners of their mouths.
"For the sake of the people of Huiji County, follow me to kill the thief!" Li Ming shouted and galloped out. Xiao Yao and the others in the back also followed closely out.
"My lord......" A lieutenant found Wei Xin, and they didn't take action for this kind of thing, but they were afraid that it would not be good.
"You have also seen that the adults are going to ask for thieves, not to beg for food!" Wei Xin said angrily, how could he not know that Li Ming would not attack him, because he was worried that he would prevent him from expanding the scope of the crusade!
