Chapter 12: Chopping
After dinner, Du Sheng accompanied his mother and Niuniu to talk for a while, and went to the study without a trace of a glance at Fubo.
After a few moments, Fauber knocked lightly on the door and walked in.
"Have the two guards of Suzaku and Qinglong been arranged?"
Du Sheng asked as he drew a pattern on the paper that Fauber couldn't understand.
"It's all arranged."
Fauber stood respectfully in front of him and replied.
"What about the eyeliner planted in the property under the name of the Hou Mansion?"
Du Sheng's plan was about to start, and he didn't want his side to start moving, and the news flew out like wings.
"According to the clues that the Hou Mansion had before, I secretly cleared the eyeliner planted by eleven other forces."
The corners of Fauber's mouth moved, and he reported it truthfully.
Du Sheng nodded and didn't ask for any more details.
Fauber was still very relieved, knowing that those cleared eyeliner would never appear again.
"Then a yard was cleaned up and used to house the craftsmen. According to the pattern of clothes on this picture, 30 sets were made overnight, and another 170 sets were made within three days. ”
Du Sheng took out three copies of the costume design and handed it to Fu Bo and commanded.
"No."
Fu Bo took the design drawings handed over by Du Sheng, carefully put them into his arms, and retreated lightly.
The design that Du Sheng handed to Fu Bo was the Ming Dynasty brocade suit he had drawn for the imperial flying fish, as well as the style of a black gauze hat and boots.
Du Sheng's design drawings are extremely detailed, marking the materials, dimensions and design details.
"Tomorrow afternoon, Qinglongwei will make its first public appearance in this world. I'm really looking forward to the scene when the flying fish suit comes out and the child stops crying. ”
Du Sheng looked out the window expectantly, lowered his head and continued to refine the design of the musket.
Tomorrow we will find a few more skilled blacksmiths, and we will be able to start the furnace and make the gun.
The principle of the musket is actually not complicated, as long as the quality of the steel is up to standard, there is no big problem.
Things like saltpeter and sulfur were not a problem for him.
"Master Hou."
When the design was almost drawn, there was a soft knock on the door.
After Du Sheng heard that it was Li Mu's voice, he folded the design and put it in the drawer before letting the other party in.
Li Mu was wearing ordinary clothes at this time, and he looked very inconspicuous.
"How's it going?"
Du Sheng sat up straight, looked at the other party lightly and asked.
After returning to the city with the Qinglong Guard in the afternoon, he arranged for all of them to be sent out, responsible for investigating the masked mob intercepting the city guards halfway.
"Lord Hou, according to your orders, your subordinates secretly visited and investigated, and strictly interrogated Zheng Jimin's concubine. Finally dug up a valuable clue. ”
Li Mu licked his lips slightly excitedly, and said in a low voice with burning eyes.
"What clues?"
Du Sheng's heart moved, and he asked with a cold face.
"The subordinates found out that Zhou Dahai, the steward of the Huang firm, has been in and out of Zheng Jimin's mansion frequently recently, and every time he enters through the back door at night. Just this morning, when Zheng Jimin led people to Taifeng Qianzhuang, one of his henchmen also went to Huang's firm.
"Some time ago, the Huang Merchant Bank transported a large number of cotton clothes and grain to Ninghai, and there were nearly 300 guards accompanying them!"
Li Mu told the news he had found out 1510.
Now things basically have an answer.
Food and cotton clothes are not important goods, do you need to send so many people to escort them?
Zheng Jimin is the leader of Ninghai County, and he is not related to the Huang family's firm, why does the steward of the Huang family sneak in and out of Zheng Jimin's mansion frequently?
"Huh! What a Huang firm, what a Huang family! The previous account book Hou hadn't calculated with you, and now he jumped out in a hurry. ”
Du Sheng smiled coldly, and the killing intent in his eyes flashed.
Huang's Commercial Bank is one of the largest commercial houses in Ninghai, mainly engaged in grain, cotton clothing, restaurants and pawnshops.
The force behind the Huang family is the Huang family, a wealthy family in Lingnan County.
The old man of the Huang family is an official to a second-rank officer, and the third master of the Huang family is one of the eight commanders of the Lingnan Flying Tiger Army, holding 10,000 soldiers and horses.
Huang Jian, who beat Du Sheng to death a few days ago, is the third generation of the Huang family.
"No wonder Zheng Jimin's old boy is so bold, it turns out that the Huang family is behind him! Hmph, Ninghai is not a county town! ”
"Li Mu!" Du Sheng shouted in a low voice.
"The subordinates are here!" The latter looked stunned and clenched his fists to obey the order.
"From now on, give Ben Hou an eye on the Huang family, and report any trouble immediately. At the same time, cut off all news exchanges between the Huang family and the county town, and I want to make them blind and deaf! ”
"If you meet a lonely person in charge, tie them up secretly and pry their mouths open."
Du Sheng originally wanted to let people sweep all the Huang family's industries in Ninghai, but he was worried about causing panic among other trading houses, so he had to endure this impulse for the time being.
"No!"
Li Mu agreed, quietly retreated again, and quickly disappeared into the night.
Grain and cotton clothes are exactly what Du Sheng is currently in short supply, and the Huang family's inventory in Ninghai has been regarded by him as fat in his mouth.
When the time comes, he will swallow it in one gulp without hesitation.
"Doing business on my territory in a proper manner, Ben Hou welcomes him with both hands. If you dare to have any bad ideas, hum! ”
He was not even afraid of the one sitting on the dragon chair, let alone these so-called wealthy families.
If the formation of Zhu Que Wei is completed, what kind of bullshit Huang family, Du Sheng will not pay attention to it at all.
At noon the next day, the entrance of the vegetable market was crowded with onlookers.
Zheng Jimin, who was honored as Ninghai County a day ago, was kneeling on the high platform with his hands tied behind his back at this time.
Beside him were also kneeling his concubines and family members in Ninghai County, as well as Master Li and other henchmen.
The total number of zeros and zeros adds up to more than 20 people.
Qinglongwei, who made a temporary cameo appearance as the executioner, was wearing a brand-new flying fish suit and a black gauze hat, and was full of energy and quietly waited for the order with a sharp broadsword.
"Zheng Jimin, the former county of Ninghai County, colluded with the enemy country, plotted rebellion and treason, and openly besieged and killed the marquis of Yipin Town in broad daylight......"
Li Muyang read aloud dozens of charges.
What kind of tricks, *** women, collusion and other crimes, Du Sheng is all on him.
What about framing and framing!
Who made this old boy dare to do anything to him.
At that time, if it weren't for Sun Leng and Wang Laoliu fighting to protect each other, plus he had his own means to save his life, maybe he would be the one who was beheaded now.
"Woooooo
Zheng Jimin, who was kneeling in the first row, heard a series of crimes read out by Li Mu, and kept whining.
But no matter how much he struggled, he couldn't say half a word.
Long before he was put on the high platform, Qinglongwei used tactics on these people, so that they could no longer speak.
On this occasion, how could Du Sheng give these people the opportunity to bite indiscriminately.
"The dog officer who killed a thousand knives has finally been punished, my hard-working daughter. He was only fourteen years old and was ruined to death by this dog official. ”
An eldest lady cried like a tearful person in the crowd, and she couldn't even stand on her feet if it wasn't for the people next to her.
"Beasts! This kind of person should have been pulled out and cut a long time ago. ”
"Brute, don't even let go of such a little girl!"
"My second dog fed the horses in his house, and because he accidentally made a cut on the horse's back when he brushed the horse, he was beaten to death by the dog official! O my wretched son! ”
"Damn dog officer, return my family's three acres of land!"
……
After the first bitter lord cried, many people complained loudly and angrily about Zheng Jimin and his subordinates.
Du Sheng looked at the lively vegetable market upstairs in a restaurant under the name of Houfu, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
"Well done, go get busy."
Du Sheng praised with satisfaction with his hands behind his back.
"No!"
The wolf respectfully hugged his fists and left quickly and quietly.
In order to create a situation in front of him where thousands of people condemned Zheng Jimin, Du Sheng arranged more than a dozen trusts to fan the flames in the crowd.
Of course, Zheng Jimin and his subordinates' butts are indeed not clean, so they will make the crowd so excited under the leadership of someone.
"The hour has come, slash!"
Li Mu glanced up at the sun in the sky, and threw out the token in front of him with murderous anger and shouted.
"Slash!"
More than 20 Qinglongwei wearing flying fish suits roared at the same time, and their hands fell in unison, and more than 20 heads flew out at the same time!
Ninghai County Liupin County respected Zheng Jimin and his henchmen, and it ended miserably.
