Looking at the black iron wearing a straight military uniform, Yu Lei looked very satisfied:

"Very good, in the future, all of us in the Statistics Department will wear military uniforms and look more formal."

"Yes!" Black Iron replied expressionlessly.

"When you go to those merchants' houses, do you know what to do?"

"Report to the command, got it."

"Go ahead." Yu Lei waved his hand, and then explained: "It's still the same sentence, what we want is silver, what we want is to eradicate all those who oppose us, and we want Leshan to be firmly in our hands!" Don't keep your eyes on small businesses, and don't be afraid to make things bigger, no matter how big the trouble is, there are also Zhang Xu and Sun Dexiang there to help us clean up. ”

"Yes!"

The "fall" of Leshan made the merchants in Leshan still feel panicked.

The word "revolution" is unacceptable to these merchants. Small merchants are okay, but the real worries are those big businessmen.

In particular, after the revolutionary party took control of Leshan, the regulations promulgated one after another included that the salt industry, timber, iron tools, etc., were monopolized and supervised by the military and government axes, which made it difficult for the merchants who relied on these industries to make a lot of money.

And the strike seems to be their best choice.

If they join forces to strike the market, it will not be long before the military and political axes will be unbearable, and when the time comes, they will have the capital to negotiate.

Originally, the big businessman Zhou Baoliang was their best leader, but now Zhou Baoliang himself is difficult to protect, and if he offends the person named Yu Lei, the whole family is locked up in prison!

After that, the leaders became Leshan salt merchants Mu Wuyuan and Yu Zixiong.

"What is the current situation of the military and political axe?" Mu Wuyuan picked up the tea bowl, blew down the tea leaves on it, brought it to his mouth and took a sip and asked.

"After Zhou Baoliang was arrested, it turned out that the officials in Leshan were all there to raise money, and many people came to me to borrow it, but I refused." Yu Zixiong replied.

Mu Wuyuan sneered: "If you don't borrow it, you won't borrow a tael of silver." At the beginning, these officials also reaped a lot of benefits from us, and now they beg us to come? They are not able to protect themselves, and what will they pay back if they lend them to them? ”

"Brother Mu." Yu Zixiong was a little worried: "The number of chaotic parties will definitely not last long, I think it will be a few days at least, and at most a month, and the imperial court will send a large army to exterminate it." What will happen when those officials are reinstated? ”

"Official reinstatement?" Mu Wuyuan sneered a few times: "They still expect the official to be reinstated? lost Leshan, could not serve the court to death, but succumbed to the chaos of the party's Yinwei, the court did not cut off their brains, they were already very worthy of them! ”

The businessmen who were sitting around and discussing the Mu family nodded their heads one after another.

There are always dozens of merchants in a room, and the big ones sit there, and the small ones can only stand in the back. Mu Wuyuan glanced at them:

"Guys, I have to give you a heads-up. This day is the day of the Qing Dynasty, this land is the land of the Qing Dynasty, and those chaotic parties cannot become the climate! You can think about it, how many times has the chaotic party made trouble in our Sichuan, and did it succeed once? No! As soon as the imperial court launched a large army, the chaotic party was wiped out! What kind of military and political axe does he Wang Hengyue make, it will be copied and beheaded all over the house! Ladies and gentlemen, as long as we can work together to get through this difficulty, we will be loyal ministers of the imperial court and righteous merchants! ”

The following echoed the praise, especially the sentence "This day is the heaven of the Qing Dynasty, and this land is the land of the Qing Dynasty" really spoke to their hearts.

The sound of "bang, bang, bang" suddenly sounded, and a group of merchants stood up and looked at each other.

"Who is so presumptuous!"

Mu Wuyuan was furious, stood up, and was about to attack, when suddenly the door was smashed open, and then the Chinese soldiers of the brigade poured in.

"What do you want to do! This is my Mu family's place, not your barracks! Mu Wuyuan shouted angrily.

In the midst of the shouting, wearing black shiny leather boots and black iron with a horsewhip in his hand, he walked in slowly.

Black Iron stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, looking left and right, but did not speak. All around, the soldiers raised their guns, and the shiny bayonets on the guns were chilling.

Mu Wuyuan has been doing business for decades, and he has seen all kinds of things in the world, and he has also seen a lot of officers and soldiers, large and small, and he has the courage to take a group of businessmen into the courtyard:

"Sir, what are you trying to do? The military and political axe has regulations to protect the people and not trespass on people's houses, if you do this, I will fight the lawsuit to the military and political axe! ”

"It is the common people who are protected, not the businessmen." Hei Tie said lightly: "The military and political axes here can't control me." Here, I have supreme rights, and what I say is the ordinance. ”

He spoke lightly, but it made Mu Wuyuan shudder.

Heitie flicked the leather boots with a horsewhip, and there was some dust on them, which looked unsightly, and then he stomped his feet, and saw that the leather boots were spotless, and then he was satisfied:

"Boss Mu, when will the market resume?"

Mu Wuyuan was stunned: "At present, the war is in chaos, and the businessmen can't do business, so it's hard to say whether the market will resume or not." ”

"Oh." Hei Tie nodded: "The military and political axe has repeatedly ordered them to resume the market, and you have pushed three and four times, and even used this to blackmail the military and political axe, that is to destroy the merchants." Well, sabotage the revolution"

"We"

Before Mu Wuyuan's words came to his lips, the black iron horsewhip waved: "Search!" ”

The wolf-like soldiers separated the group of merchants with their rifles, and they didn't care how Mu Wuyuan scolded angrily, they rushed in viciously, and after a while, the men, women, and children of the Mu family were driven out.

"Mess with the party, mess with the party!" Mu Wuyuan was so angry that he trembled: "There is no royal law here, I want to fight the lawsuit to Yanjing!" ”

"Write it down." Black Iron was expressionless: "Leshan annihilated merchant Mu Wuyuan slandered the revolution, slandered the revolutionaries, was loyal to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and was willing to be a slave." ”

Mu Wuyuan stopped scolding for a moment, he was really angry just now, how could he say all these words?

After more than half an hour, the soldiers who rushed into Mu's house to search came out one after another. One of the leading officers ran up to Black Iron and said loudly:

"Report, these things have been found!"

A small box of fine tobacco, two rifles, and a few knives were all the most commonplace.

Most of these people who do business are good at two times, and a big businessman like Mu Wuyuan buys two guns and a few knives to take care of the home and the courtyard is also the most common thing.

Black Iron glanced at these things:

"Selling tobacco and soil! Article 3 of the Military and Political Axe Regulations is that the buying and selling of tobacco and soil is strictly prohibited. These guns and knives Boss Mu, do you want to assassinate our revolutionaries? Well, very good! ”

Mu Wuyuan's face changed: "This is what I used to watch the nursing home myself!" I smoked it myself! If you want to add sin, there is no word! ”

"Well, what a sin to be added, there is no word for it." Hei Tie nodded: "Boss Mu, you're right, I'm wronging you, someone." ”

He pointed at Mu Wuyuan with a horsewhip: "Leshan annihilated businessman Mu Wuyuan, opposed the revolution, sold tobacco and soil privately, purchased weapons, and plotted to assassinate revolutionaries, which is a heinous crime, and it is the first major case in Leshan!" Grab it! ”

A few soldiers tied up Mu Wuyuan without saying anything, Mu Wuyuan knew that it had reached this point, and he was categorically suffering, and scolded desperately:

"You can't die well, you can't die well! Even if I die, I won't let you go! ”

Hei Tie glanced at him: "You don't even know my name, why don't you let me go?" ”

Mu Wuyuan was stunned for a moment, and then scolded loudly: "The revolutionary party is lawless, come on, you have the ability to kill me, do you dare?" Leshan is missing someone from me, what can you do! ”

Hei Tie waved his hand, allowing the soldier to let go of Mu Wuyuan, handing the horsewhip to his subordinates, and then slowly pulling out the gun from his waist.

"You, what do you want to do!" Mu Wuyuan's expression changed drastically.

"Your boss Mu is very wealthy in Leshan, and all the businessmen in Leshan listen to you." Hei Tie said slowly, constantly playing with the gun in his hand: "But this is the No. 1 case in Leshan, and I really have no choice." ”

"Planting, planting"

Before Mu Wuyuan could speak, a gunshot suddenly rang out.

Mu Wuyuan glanced down at his chest, then at Hei Tie, and then fell limply. Until he died, Mu Wuyuan didn't believe that this officer really dared to kill himself!

"Boom", all the businessmen are like exploding the pot, crying and screaming, everything!

Killed, really killed, and it was Mu Wuyuan who killed!

Hei Tie didn't stop either, and waited until their voices were a little quieter, and then he said slowly: "Which one is Boss Yuzi Xiongyu?" ”

With a "plop", one of the merchants could no longer hold on and fell to his knees.

"Boss Yu?" Black Iron looked at him.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me" Yu Zixiong's face turned pale, begged again and again, and kowtowed a few times to the black iron: "I have the old and the young, sir, resumption of the market, resumption of the market, we will resume the market immediately!" ”

"Resumption, reopening!" All the merchants fell to their knees and wailed.

Heitie put away his gun and let them kneel there: "On behalf of the military and political axe, thank you, you have helped me solve the first major case in Leshan, and the military and political axe will definitely be rewarded." Reopening? Very good. Tomorrow I would like to see the market reopen. In addition, the military and political axes are now financially strapped and have to ask for your help. Boss Yu. ”

"In, in."

"I'll entrust this matter to Boss Yu, one million taels of silver, three days, and ask Boss Yu to send it to us."

"What?" Yu Zixiong's face turned pale in an instant.

"One million taels of silver, three days, otherwise I can only go to the door to get it in person." Black Iron repeated it very patiently.

"Sir, this"

Black Iron waved his hand, not giving him any chance to speak at all:

"I am busy with military affairs, and I don't have time to accompany you anymore, please come back. Come on, check the place of Mu Wuyuan, the great annihilator, and you can't pull down anything for me! ”
