The camp outside Zengtou City, Fang Yuan is only a few dozen steps, but it is surrounded by more than 10,000 men on the inside and outside of the three layers, the men are ordinary farmers, but they have received a certain amount of military training in the past few years, at this time they are all holding swords, guns and halberds, although they do not seem to be much neat and brave, but they also have a bit of appearance. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the camp tent, hundreds of ironclad soldiers sat on horses one by one, and the queue was neat. The two sides confronted each other in this way, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

These ironclad knights are accustomed to seeing the wind and waves, although the military orders are strict and they can't talk and laugh, but their expressions are extremely relaxed, and there is not much psychological pressure in this tense atmosphere.

Everyone is extremely confident in their hearts, as long as they are given a few dozen steps to charge, no one in the world seems to be able to stop their horse steps.

In the big tent, Li Gang sat at the head, Pei Xuan sat on the left, and Han Shizhong and Yang Zhi sat on the right. Then Shi Wengong and the three sons of the Zeng family sat separately. There were also more than a dozen military men escorting Zeng Lang and a few half-grown teenagers on the open space.

The young man cried, obviously frightened by such a scene, and among them was the son of Zeng Tu, the eldest of the Zeng family, who cried extremely sadly at this time, and he had just learned that his father had been killed.

Zeng Rong originally had a meticulous bun on the top of his head, but at this time, his gray hair was draped over his shoulders and his face was covered with blood. An old man is treated like this, and the scene seems somewhat cruel.

"Governor Li's mansion, there is a big misunderstanding in this matter, the old lady Zeng is innocent, the people surrounding outside are not instructed by the old lady, they just misunderstood the announcement posted in front of the head of the Li governor's mansion, and did not understand the meaning. Please also ask Governor Li to take a clear look. Shi Wengong's words were respectful, and he also had a kind of wisdom in the world that he should have at his age.

Li Gang smiled when he heard this: "Regardless of whether there is a misunderstanding for the time being, you all know the details." If you want to resist the law with violence, the Great Song Dynasty has never had such a strong man, and even the Liangshan Shuibo was also flattened by my family. Without further ado, this time we are in charge, are you in charge or the old man of the Zeng family? ”

Han Shizhong and Yang Zhi got the matter done, and the hesitation in front of Li Gangtou disappeared, and at this time, it was necessary to quickly solve this matter.

Shi Wengong also said the scene in front of his head, he just wanted to ease the tense atmosphere, and when he heard Li Gang ask, Shi Wengong quickly glanced at Zeng and replied: "Of course, the old lady Zeng is in charge, I just talk about this time on behalf of the old owner." ”

Zeng Lang was a little more sober at this time, his back ached faintly, and there were many wounds on his face, he heard Shi Wengong's words, and looked left and right at his grandson who was held on the ground, but he was silent, and his heart was already overturned.

Li Gang smiled: "Hmph... That is, you can call the shots, or not, then the government will be blunt, the Zeng family's field, even if it is not calculated, the government has a base in its heart, and it will be handed over to two million, and the matter will be stopped. It is also possible to deduct food and other property. If you don't want to pay it, all the famous people on the title deed will be taken to prison for questioning. All the Zeng family's property was confiscated. ”

Shi Wengong heard this, and also knew that the number was almost the same, but he could only go to see Zeng Lane and his three sons.

Zeng Suo and the three of them didn't have any ideas, but they also looked at their father. Now, I am really forced to be helpless. No matter how much resentment there is in your heart, you have to press it in your heart.

Shi Wengong's inner opinion naturally wanted to end this matter and spend money to eliminate the disaster. I don't feel distressed when I spend other people's money, I just want to keep this Zeng family.

Zeng Rong naturally felt that the eyes in the field were focused on him, raised his head and looked at Li Gang in front of him, and then looked at his sons and grandsons, and said: "My Zeng family can afford money and food, Li Zhifu, you bully my Zeng family so much, kill my eldest son, and use my grandson's life as a threat, how can such a means be done by the imperial court?" ”

Zeng Lang was a little ruthless in his heart, if it weren't for his grandsons being taken by others, Zeng Rong was not afraid of death, he lived for such an age, and in the end he was so bullied, death would not have much deterrent to him.

Li Gang was made to say something, and he felt inexplicably unreasonable in his heart, and a young literati could not avoid thinking like this in the face of this scene.

Pei Xuan immediately continued: "Lao'er, the government collects taxes, and in order to evade the land endowment, you instructed these innocent people to besiege the officials, how can such a means be done by good people?" How is this different from a thief? Isn't it a great favor for the government to deal with the thieves in this way? Do you know what happened to Song Jiang? ”

Zeng Lane was dumbfounded by this sentence, but Shi Wengong hurriedly opened his mouth to play a round: "This matter is all a misunderstanding, the old lady has never instructed the people to besiege the official errand." Where will the Zeng family not pay the field endowment, but this amount is really huge, and they will not be able to take out so much cash for a while, and ask Governor Li to be magnanimous, can you think of a compromise method, reduce some of it, pay it in a few years, and leave a way for the Zeng family to live. ”

Li Gang heard Pei Xuan's words, and then looked at the half-grown teenagers below, and the guilt in his heart was gone, and he replied: "It's been discussed like this a long time ago, why let things get to this point?" Two million yuan, a copper coin is indispensable. If there is not enough money and food, the land will be used to pay for it. The four states will soon garrison Yunzhou, but if there is such a thing, the army will inevitably come to suppress it, if your Zeng family is honest and good, you can be safe, if your Zeng family still wants to violently resist the law, the consequences should also be clear. ”

Li Gang was clear about what Zheng Zhiyi needed money to do, and where he could accept what installment payments, although the words went back and forth. In fact, there is only one purpose, that is, to ask for money to bring Cangzhou to expand armaments, and everything just revolves around this one purpose.

This Yunzhou is also such a super big family in Zengtou City, and the rest are just places like Chaogai Dongxi Village, where a village is upright, and it can be regarded as a rich family, and it can take risks for 100,000 yuan, so naturally it will not be rich.

There are also a few scholarly lintels in Cangzhou, and this Yunzhou is a family of scholars who can't find it, which is the difference. There are some scholars in Qizhou (near Jinan), such as Li Qingzhao, a famous poet in later generations, who is a person from Qizhou.

Shi Wengong heard Li Gang's tough words, and turned his head to look at Zeng Rong.

Li Gang couldn't bear it when he saw it, and waved his hand to signal to the two military men behind.

The two soldiers also let go, and moved their hands that were behind their backs a few times, then wiped the corners of their mouths, and said, "I gave money, but I let go of my grandchildren?" ”

Pei Xuan heard the words at this time, and said: "If you give money, you will naturally release people." ”

Jingluo Mansion has always been in charge of Pei Xuan, and the family naturally knows that vegetables, rice, oil, and salt are expensive, and they also know that the errands under Zheng Zhi's orders are in a hurry, and it is really difficult to move an inch without money.

Zeng frowned, knowing that this matter could only be solved with money, but he was not happy in his heart, and he was even more embarrassed and had difficulty breathing, and was full of resentment.

Shi Wengong saw that Zeng Lane was still hesitating, and hurriedly called: "The old owner... ”

Zeng Rong shook his head, slowly supported the ground with his hands, stood up, and said softly: "That's it, that's it." The old man went back to raise money. ”

When Pei Xuan heard this, the corners of his mouth raised, and he opened his mouth and ordered: "Send the old lady out of the camp!" ”

Shi Wengong hurriedly got up to help Zeng Rong, and his heart was also a lot more stable. Looking back, why did things turn out like this from last night to today? I looked back at the few people sitting in front of my head, Li Gang, Pei Xuan, Han Shizhong, and Yang Zhi.

A sigh in my heart: Jingluofu is really a good means!
