Chapter 55: Early morning training
Maybe it was because Fang was far away, but at this time, Dong Qianxiao and the others noticed that the tips of the guns of these Wen Dengbing soldiers who followed Wang Zheng into the city seemed to be stained with something, and these things were black and purple, and they were clearly coagulated blood.
Not only on the tip of the gun, but also on the clothes of these Wen Dengbing soldiers with more or less blood stains, but they all followed behind Wang Zheng like no one.
The officers and soldiers in the city were so frightened by this scene that they didn't even dare to speak, Dong Qianxiao was also surprised in his eyes, looking at Wang Zheng's back and thinking about something.
After entering the city, Wang Zheng pretended not to know the way, Hao Sicheng believed it, and his heart was relieved a lot, and he gave a few words and found a servant to walk in front to lead the way.
This line of people walked in the city caused a lot of sensation, along the way, the people also played a thousand years in China like to see the lively tradition, gathered on the side of the road is a lot of discussions, all say that this is like the inspection with Yan Ding into the city to take office, it is simply the army general leading the troops into the city.
Zhang Dacheng died suddenly, and his subordinates immediately scattered into a few shares, and some relatives divided the silver money they could find, about four or five thousand taels of silver, and they also went back to their respective homes with some valuable treasures, and went to farm honestly.
By the time Wang Zheng and his people came to the inspection office for the second time, the magnificent mansion was already dilapidated, and the plaque on it was hanging there, which looked a little stormy.
There were already people waiting outside the government office, and when they saw Wang Zheng and his party coming from a distance, they immediately ran over and said with a smile.
"The house has almost been cleaned, welcome to your lordship."
Entering the gate, Wang Zheng smiled and kept nodding, thinking about killing Zhang Dacheng that day, he would never have thought that he would come back.
Wang Zheng said as he walked: "The cleaning is good, you are all the salt of King Zhang Yan, do you have the heart to follow me?" ”
Those people were all trembling when they heard the first half of the sentence, but then they seemed to hear the sound of heaven, and they all knelt on the ground with a happy 'poof', followed by a few kowtows.
The meaning of this was self-evident, and Wang Zheng helped up one of them, with a smile on his face.
"Okay, I can't count the things I did in the past, you will be my brothers under the salt pole in the future, my Wang Zheng will never treat his brothers badly, Gao Liang, give each of them five taels of silver, you have to work hard, there will be more benefits in the future."
Hearing this, these people were grateful again, and trembled to take the silver from Gao Liang's hand, if they were afraid of Wang Zheng just now, now they are both afraid and respectful.
"Today I will live in the house of the king of Hades, and Yin, Huang Yang and Heizi will also live together, so let's live in this government office first."
Hao Sicheng frowned, feeling that something was wrong: "Lord Wang, that Zhang Dacheng died there, and it was unlucky to live." ”
Hearing Hao Sicheng's words, Wang Zheng felt a little funny, that is, he killed King Zhang Yan there, how could he still be afraid, and waved his hand with a nonchalant face, and said:
"Don't bother the shopkeeper Hao, Wang is not afraid of a dead person."
Seeing that it was getting late, Wang Zheng had just arrived in Ninghai Prefecture City, so he really didn't have any thoughts, so he declined the invitation of several shopkeepers who came with Hao Sicheng to dinner.
Walking into the innermost room, this is the place where Wang Zheng killed Zhang Dacheng in the first place, it should have been carefully cleaned up, and there was no trace of it for a long time.
A new set of bedding was placed on the bed, and the candles were actually lit, Wang Zheng couldn't sleep when he lay on the bed, and all he was thinking about was how to start doing it tomorrow, after all, he was blind to this salt government.
The office of the inspection department is not small, and Wang Zheng brought over all the honest croppers, where have they lived in such a magnificent house, they are all excited, let alone being able to sleep honestly.
Although they were crowded in a courtyard, they still couldn't stop their excitement, and there was buzzing in the middle of the night.
Today, Wang Zheng got up early in the morning, and while no one was paying attention, he first went to the corner of the wall to look for it, but fortunately, although the courtyard seemed to be a little decayed, the appearance still did not change, and it was easy to see the mark he made.
Taking out the wooden box, Wang Zheng returned to the room and counted it carefully.
A few months have passed, and the gold and silver treasures in this box have not changed much, they are as bright as ever, and according to Wang Zheng's estimate, they should weigh sixty or seventy catties.
According to the weights and measures of the Ming Dynasty, one catty and sixteen taels is equal to about five hundred and seventy grams in modern times.
The gold is converted at a ratio of one to five, and if you count the silver that is paved, these are almost more than three thousand taels of silver, which is not a small amount even for Wang Zheng, and there are many jewels that are difficult to estimate are not counted.
Suddenly, there was a commotion from outside, Wang Zheng frowned and went out, sure enough, it was the sergeants who were joking.
Seeing their frivolous appearance, Wang Zheng became angry for the first time: "It's only been less than a day, look at your lazy appearance, how can you learn from that Hades and start enjoying your happiness?" ”
The still buzzing discussion stopped abruptly, and the sergeants looked at Wang Zheng silently.
Wang Zheng looked around at the overwhelmed sergeants and said coldly: "Have you forgotten your family who is still in Wendeng, the situation is not quiet, what qualifications do you have to play, and you actually started to fight, do you rely on these to protect your family!?" ”
"There is silver, you call Huang Yang, go and buy the two courtyards around, it's okay to spend more money, the main thing is not to force the people, this is the most important thing, we can't be the same as King Zhang Yan!"
"You don't need to notify me after you buy it, you two will take these boys to practice, as long as it's okay, practice more every day!"
"Obey!"
Now these recruits under Wang Zheng have two official identities, they were originally all sergeants of the Wendeng Battalion, and after taking office, they have the identity of Yanding.
After Dong Youyin and Huang Yang left, Heizi came out of the back room with an excited face and said, "My lord, this courtyard is quite big, I looked around, there are not many people?" ”
At this time, Gao Liang also scratched his head and walked out: "Yes, my lord, we are all rough people, and we don't know what accounts to calculate, where to start investigating illegal salt?" ”
Zhang Dacheng was as ignorant of practice as the literati and officials in the late Ming Dynasty, and was deceived by the lower-level masters, account offices, clerks and other inspection officials, and these talents were the most familiar with the local salt road.
These little officials are all ghostly in their hearts, Wang Zheng's behavior is not like a person like King Zhang Yan, although he doesn't know if he has thunder means, but he is by no means a character to be messed with, this truth is the same as Spiegel in everyone's hearts.
It doesn't matter whether such a person succeeds to the throne or not, it is said that the new official has three fires when he takes office, and Wang Zheng has more than 200 strong Wendeng soldiers, so he naturally has the strength to burn the fire, and eighty percent will be used by Wang Zheng to establish his authority.
Not long after the decision was made at the banquet that day after Wang Zheng succeeded him, the officials had already received the news through various channels, and even before Wang Zheng returned to Wendeng to clean up, they left one after another, and the excuses were all varied.
Yesterday, Wang Zheng thought about it all night, and at this time, he saw Gao Liang and Heizi who were both a little excited and a little overwhelmed, but he was relieved.
It's all here, what's the point of worrying about my mother-in-law and mother-in-law, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and it's a step by step.
