Chapter 50: Arresting People

The three of them glanced at each other, Liu Bao This is a naked threat, but they are also people who have seen the world, naturally they will not be fooled by Liu Bao's words, the chief soldier Zong Bigang looked at Liu Bao: "If you say that there are no these, I will let people send you out, the two armies will fight and not kill you, I will not kill you, you go!" ”

Liu Bao smiled slightly, although Zong Bigang said it righteously, but Liu Bao knew that he had spoken to his heart. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Okay, in that case, then I'll get to the point!" Liu Bao smiled, and did not refute Zong Bigang's words, because it was meaningless, and he came here to do a good job of the things explained by the military advisor: "The matter is very simple, let's join forces to do a vote!" ”

"Collusion between officials and bandits?" The deputy chief soldier on the side snorted coldly and said mockingly: "It's a shame that you came up with it, why should we cooperate with you, and we have lost our identity in vain." ”

There was no movement of his gaze, Liu Bao's eyes were staring at Zong Bigang from beginning to end, and among the three, Zong Bi was the last person to call the shots. Seeing that Zong Bigang did not express his position, Liu Bao continued: "Our cooperation is very simple, that is, after the war, let's exchange news, and make this big battle your defeat and our side win!" ”

Seeing that the deputy chief soldier on the side was about to speak again, Zong Bigang glared at him, waved his hand and said, "You go on!" ”

Liu Bao smiled and hugged his fist at Zong Bigang: "The chief soldier is really angry, things are actually very simple, as long as the three are defeated this time, our Han King is willing to offer 20,000 taels of silver, which can be regarded as compensation for the hard work of the three adults." ”

"In addition, as long as we cooperate properly, our Han King is willing to get rid of Wang Zhichen and Cao Wenzhao for the three of them!" Liu Bao squinted his eyes, and seeing that Zong Bi was just about to speak, Liu Bao interrupted him and continued: "Of course, this condition seems to be more beneficial to us, but there is more to come!" ”

"After this battle, we, the King of Han, will withdraw from Fugu, including the three county towns we occupied before, and go into the mountains."

After a slight pause, Zong Bigang and the three of them were not speaking, and Liu Baocai continued: "When the time comes, the credit for recovering Fugu and the three counties will all belong to the three adults. As for Wang Zhichen and Cao Wenzhao, even if they would not die in the chaos, the court would not let them go. ”

"Commanding indiscriminately, resulting in the defeat of the army, such a crime, he is afraid that the prince and the minister can't afford it!"

The three of them glanced at each other, and at the same time saw the meaning of the opposite eye, and they were all moved. Got rid of the thorn in the eye, earned credit, and earned silver at the same time, it was simply a triple win. Now the question is whether Liu Bao can be trusted, what if he is played?

"Should we trust you?" Zong Bigang looked at Liu Bao and said with blazing eyes: "If this is your deception, and in the end the army is defeated, but you don't withdraw from Fugu, wouldn't we lose a lot?" ”

"Three adults, although our Han King has great ambitions, but the three counties of Fugu are too small, and once the imperial army arrives, we will not be able to hold it. Rather than being beaten back at that time, it is better to give the credit to the three adults, and we can be regarded as a good fate. Liu Bao squinted his eyes and said confidently: "I don't know if the three adults have heard a word?" Raise your own self! ”

After pondering for a while, Liu Bao saw that the three of them still did not express their position, so he continued: "Now that Shaanxi is sacrificing, it is about to be chaotic, here is our Han King, Baishui has Wang Er, I believe there will be others soon, the three adults want to be big at this time, it is not impossible and impossible, but it depends on how to do it." ”

How? What you said is so straightforward, what else can you do?

Zong Bigang stretched out his hand and tapped on the tabletop, and only raised his head after a long silence: "This matter is very important, our three brothers have to discuss it, you stay in the barracks, I will give you the answer tomorrow, you won't even be unable to wait for this day, right?" ”

"Of course not!" Liu Bao bowed down with a smile and said, "Since this is the case, the little one is waiting for the good news of the three adults!" As he spoke, he clapped his hands gently, and two people walked in from outside the tent, carrying a wooden box, which was placed directly on the ground at Liu Bao's signal.

Stretched out his hand and lifted the lid, and inside was a neat yard of silver: "Five thousand taels, it is a gift from the King of Han to the three adults, no matter whether the matter is successful or not, the King of Han hopes to make the three adults friends." If there's anything inconvenient for the three adults to do, just tell me, we have the manpower to do a lot of things. After speaking, Liu Bao hugged his fists, turned around and walked out of the tent, leaving the three people in the tent.

Deputy Chief Soldier Zhao Sanchuan stood up, came to the box containing silver, reached out and picked up a silver ingot, gently tossed it, and said with a smile: "Fifty taels of big ingots!" As he spoke, he bit his teeth, and finally spit out a few mouthfuls: "The condition is not bad, very good." ”

Zong Bigang glared at Zhao Sanchuan, and said in a deep voice: "He is here to save our lives, and he will not fool you!" ”

"Hmph, three county seats, plus one Fugu, how many benefits are there? He Wang Jiayin only promised to give us 20,000 taels, which is really too picky! Shao Zhiyong on the side said with a mocking face: "You can't cheapen them, take the opportunity to knock a ruthless one!" ”

Glancing at the two of them, Zong Bigang hesitated and asked, "What do you two mean that we promise him?" ”

"Of course, why not?" Zhao Sanchuan said with joy on his face: "Where can I find such a good thing?" As for arranging the defeat of the battle, it couldn't be simpler, arrange a few people, and take the lead in running backwards after the battle, when the army is defeated, the gods can't do anything! ”

"I'm not worried about that!" Zong Bigang frowned, and said hesitantly: "If they don't quit Fugu, our credit will be gone, and when the time comes, the court will blame us, and we can't afford it!" ”

Zhao Sanchuan glanced at Shao Zhiyong and said directly: "Then what should I do?" Won't we say yes? As he spoke, he glanced at the box of silver, and the meaning was self-evident!

"It doesn't matter, we can ask for a little more benefit, which is enough to make up for our losses, and even if they don't hand over Fugu at that time, we won't lose anything. As for the court's blame, what can you do with us? Isn't there Wang Zhichen and Cao Wenzhao above, the sky is falling and there is a big one on top, what are we afraid of? ”

"That's right!" Zhao Sanchuan was overjoyed, nodded and said, "Then how much silver do we want?" How about 100,000 taels? ”

The three of them glanced at each other, and at the same time laughed: "Okay, 100,000 taels is 100,000 taels, knock them out of a good deal, anyway, they are all robbed, let's not do it in vain, it's a sin in their hands!" ”

Early the next morning, the three of them came to Liu Bao early and told him their requirements, tattooing 100,000 taels of silver, and paying it off at once.

Looking at the greedy three people, Liu Bao did not show the slightest surprise on his face, but he had to sigh in his heart, the military advisor was really right, these people dare to do anything for money, and at the same time, everything is for money, they are simply insatiable.

"Three adults, our Han King is proposing cooperation between the two sides, not asking for the three adults!" Speaking of this, Liu Bao smiled: "It seems that I didn't explain some things yesterday, since that's the case, I'll talk about it now, I thought the three adults could think of it." ”

The faces of the three of them suddenly sank, and they stared at Liu Bao: "You'd better think it clearly, otherwise I can't guarantee that I won't cut off your head." ”

Regarding Zong Bigang's threat, Liu Bao didn't care at all, and still said lightly: "What if our Han King withdraws from Fugu and Sanxian now?" Maybe we'll lose something, but it's not too big, at least it's a drop in the bucket compared to the money we gave to the three adults. ”

"We withdrew, whose credit is it for recovering Fugu and the three counties? It's the king's minister, it's Cao Wenzhao's! Liu Bao said in a mocking tone: "The three adults don't think that Wang Zhichen will share the credit with the three adults, right?" At that time, Wang Zhichen's majesty and the support of the imperial court will not be too much to clean up military discipline, right? ”

"Cao Wenzhao already holds the title of chief soldier, and has made such a great contribution, I'm afraid it will go further, right?"

Seeing that the faces of the three people began to be sent, Liu Bao pursed his lips disdainfully, and said secretly in his heart: "I can't see through these things, and I have to point them out, there is nothing else in my eyes except money, what a group of moths." ”

The three of them glanced at each other, and also understood what Liu Bao meant just now, if Wang Jiayin really withdrew from Fugu and let Wang Zhichen make such a contribution, and buy some people's hearts with merit and rewards, the three of them were afraid that it would be difficult to make any waves.

As for the mutiny, don't be funny, the death will be even worse, the court can't be appeased, and will directly send troops to suppress it, there is no room for negotiation!

"Okay, we agreed, the conditions remain the same!" Zong Bigang stared at Liu Bao: "Go back and tell you King Han, the mountains don't turn around, we still have a time to see each other again in the future, I hope we don't break our promises, otherwise we can get it back sooner or later!" ”

"Of course, the three adults can rest assured, our Han King is the most committed one!" Liu Bao nodded, and said with a smile: "I am responsible for our contact, there will be no correspondence, there will be no handles, the three adults can rest assured!" ”

The three of them glanced at each other and nodded at the same time, obviously Liu Bao had arranged things properly, and the three of them were a lot more relieved.

As soon as the war broke out in Shaanxi, there were also turmoil in Beijing, and well-informed people got the news that Bi Ziyan had entered Beijing.

As a good friend of Yuan Keli and a pivotal figure in the Donglin Party, Bi Ziyan's entry into Beijing touched the sensitive nerves of many people. Soon, Emperor Chongzhen saw the news of Bi Ziyan came out, and in the afternoon of the same day, the cabinet issued a decree that Emperor Chongzhen appointed Bi Ziyan as the head of the household, and the prime minister Qingzhang spread the land into the mu.

Yin Wenzhen Meng of Shuntian Mansion fully cooperated, and could not carry it in the slightest, and after a few days of stopping the land of Qingzhang, they started together.

With this incident, various forces in the officialdom began to work harder, ready to start pushing their own people, after all, Emperor Chongzhen's use of Bi Ziyan is equivalent to releasing a signal, whether it is the Donglin Party or other parties, as long as they do things for themselves, they will be reused.

Although the land of Qingzhang began again, Emperor Chongzhen still had no bottom in his heart, after all, the murderer had not yet been found.

Jinyi Guard Yamen, Tian Ergeng stood on the steps of the compound, and below were all armed Jinyi Guard captains. One by one, they were wearing flying fish suits and wanted to embroider spring knives, all of them had serious faces, and even a little murderous.

"Let's go!" Without extra words, Tian Ergeng's eyes swept over everyone's faces and said loudly.

After a few days of investigation, the warehouse that sold Fushou paste was finally locked, and Tian Ergeng decided to do it.

The matter of raiding the warehouse, Tian Ergeng handed it over directly to Hu Jin, and he took someone to arrest the shopkeeper of the silk village. In Tian Ergeng's opinion, this shopkeeper is very important, very important, so Tian Ergeng is ready to go in person.

When the Jinyiwei team was dispatched, the Dongchang side had already gotten the news.

Fang Zhenghua was lying on the couch, and kneeling in front of him was Boss Feng, who didn't dare to move at this time.

"Father-in-law, Jinyiwei has done it over there, and the target is the warehouse!" A little eunuch walked up to Fang Zhenghua's side and whispered.

Waving his hand and signaling the little eunuch to retreat, Fang Zhenghua looked at Boss Feng and said: "Our family listened to you, we didn't do it before Jinyiwei, if your plan doesn't come true, our family will lose more than just face, you have to think about it!" ”

"Father-in-law, don't worry, this time it will be done!" Boss Feng said with a firm face: "The lowly people have already found out, and it is the people of the White Lotus Sect who resell the Fushou Cream, and the goods they got from the south are sold here. ”

"Fushou paste is not cheap, once the warehouse of Fushou paste is served, it will definitely be able to provoke the big man of the White Lotus Sect!"

Fang Zhenghua nodded, and said with a smile: "Let Tian Ergeng go to flutter, we will get the greatest benefit in the back, this time we will definitely be a head higher than Tian Ergeng, Boss Feng, if everything goes well, our family will reward you a lot!" ”

"Thank you, father-in-law!" Boss Feng hurriedly said: "Father-in-law, rest assured, all the lowly arrangements are the most reliable manpower!" ”

Tian Ergeng was naturally unclear about Fang Zhenghua's thoughts, and he was in the lobby of the restaurant opposite the Silk Village at this time. This time to catch the shopkeeper of the silk village, Tian Ergeng and the others were all wearing civilian clothes.

Soon, Tian Ergeng saw the shopkeeper of the silk village, this time he personally escorted the car, fifty catties of Fushou ointment, worth five thousand taels of gold, as the boss, he naturally did not dare to slack off. Thinking that the transaction was completed, there was too much gold in his pocket to hold.

Playing with the wine glass in his hand, he saw that he got out of the carriage, and Tian Ergeng let go of the hand and fell directly to the ground.

Drop the cup! Countless people saw this scene, and then two teams rushed out, one running towards their store, and the other running towards the shopkeeper himself. The two people who had been hiding on the side for a long time didn't make much effort to press the shopkeeper of the silk village under them.

Seeing his subordinates skillfully pinch open the other party's chin and take out the poison from his teeth, Tian Ergeng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
