Liu Yu thanked Liu Ping and continued: "Yu must be grateful for helping me through the difficulties this time, and I think the people in the county will also be grateful for your great kindness, and I think that if you pacify the bandits, it will not be a good thing for you." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info After all, if those bandits are allowed to develop, they will definitely endanger this Xiangping City in the future, and I can choose to return to my father at that time, and I am afraid that you will suffer the most. ”

When one of them stood up, someone stood up later, and some people in the crowd coaxed: "My Liu family is willing to help Lord Fujun." The Liu family is willing to give 5,000 stone of grain, 5,000 baht of money, and 30 soldiers for the use of the thief, and there is no need for the adults to return it. ”

This person's name is Liu Da, and he is considered a moderately wealthy family in Liaodong, because he knows that Liu Yu's previous words are very threatening, so he directly expressed his willingness to contribute food and money, and he also understands that the sooner he speaks, the money and food can naturally be less. As soon as Liu Da's voice fell, Tian Shao and others who were unwilling to pay for food looked embarrassed.

Liu Yu saw that someone who understood stood up, and immediately said: "The great favor of the Liu family, the king of this mansion, will let the people in the city know." ”

Liu Yu said, looked at Tian Shao and whispered: "Tian Jun, I know that your family has lived in this Liaodong for several generations, and I must have some feelings for this Liaodong, and now I am crusading against the bandits for everyone, and Gongsun Zhao told me before that your family has 200,000 stones of grain, tens of millions of money, and 1 or 2,000 soldiers, don't you make a statement?" ”

Tian Shao's face turned red and blue for a while, and he had no choice but to reluctantly say: "The Tian family is willing to donate 40,000 yuan of grain, no, 50,000 stones, 200,000 money, and 600 soldiers to support the prince." After Tian Shao finished speaking, his flesh hurt for a while, and he scolded angrily in his heart: Good for you, Gongsun Zhao, in order to tie up the Taishou, you dared to betray me, and you were your brother before I lost it.

Tian Shao also whispered to Liu Yu: "The prince of the palace does not know, since the predecessor Taishou was killed, Gongsun Zhao occupied the Taishou Mansion and looted money and grain, and the people who did not obey him among the county officials were killed by him, so after the adults arrived, they found that there was not much money and grain left in the treasury, and they were all swallowed by Gongsun Zhao." Now he probably has a lot more money and food than I do, and his position as a county magistrate was also bought with money, so adults can go to him to have a look. ”

Liu Yu nodded, sneering in his heart, in fact, he was happy, that Gongsun Zhao didn't tell him anything at all, he made up such a sentence to blackmail Tian Shao, but he didn't expect it to play such a big role, Tian Shao believed it was true, and actually stabbed that Gongsun Zhao out.

Gongsun Zhao himself must have gone to find it, and now that he has Tian Shao's testimony, it will be much easier to deal with it by himself.

On weekdays, many wealthy families are looking forward to the Tian family, and they are protected by the Tian family, and with Tian Shao coming out to speak, things are becoming simpler and simpler, and then many people promise to support Liu Yu's money, food, soldiers and horses, and promise not to need Liu Yu to return it.

Liu Yu asked people to write down the numbers they had reported one by one, and then sent someone to collect them.

There was some blood in these families, and Liu Yu once again expressed his deep gratitude, chatting until the evening before smiling and sending everyone away.

Under pressure, those rich families did not break their promises, and each took out a lot of money and grain from the treasury to support Liu Yu. Although the money and food provided by each family are not much, but the small amount of money is a lot, and everyone adds up to a lot of money, at least for now, Liu Yu does not have to worry about the lack of food on his side.

Now Liu Yu has 300,000 stone of grain and more than 800,000 yuan of money, and he has become a nouveau riche in an instant, as if he has become the richest person in Liaodong. When Liu Yu saw that the money and grain were moved into the treasury of the Taishou Mansion, he was already smiling from ear to ear.

At the same time, there are more than 4,000 soldiers from each family, and for Liu Yu, although these people are not as good as the official army, it is no problem to suppress the bandits.

Zhong Xuan said: "The lord is really good at acting, and if you obey those who are strong and strong, we will have money and food at this time." ”

Liu Yu shook his head and said, "These are just a little bit of the skin of those families, they don't matter at all, and the people after we have finished suppressing the bandits, as well as the countless displaced people in this county, need to be resettled, and this little money and food is not enough at all." ”

After visiting the gentry, Liu Yu decided to visit Gongsun Zhao directly tomorrow. Before leaving, Zhang Liao and Dian Wei had to follow Liu Yu, in case Liu Yu encountered an accident, and Liu Yu was moved for a while.

On Gongsun Zhao's mansion, Liu Yu took Zhang Liaodianwei to visit.

Gongsun Zhao said respectfully: "I don't know that the prince of the mansion is coming to the cold house, and he has missed the welcome, so I hope that the lord of the mansion will forgive the sin." ”

Liu Yu smiled: "You are also called Humble House, you are not much bigger than my Taishou, how much better?" "Liu Yu's poems are honest, it seems that this Gongsun Zhao is indeed greedy, and the mansion he built is several times more gorgeous and generous than the Taishou Mansion.

Gongsun Zhao smiled awkwardly, didn't answer, and asked, "I don't know what is the important matter for Lord Fujun to come?" After speaking, he also arranged for someone to go to make water and pour tea.

Liu Yu said: "Don't bother the Gongsun County Order, I'm just here to go around, and by the way, I will ask the Gongsun County Order a few words." ”

Gongsun Zhao knew in his heart that there must be nothing good, but he said very calmly: "I don't know what Lord Fujun wants to ask?" The lower officials must know everything. ”

"It's okay, let's go around first." Liu Yu was not in a hurry, so he walked around the courtyard of Gongsun Zhao's mansion at will.

After wandering around for a long time, Liu Yu spoke: "Gongsun County Order, I don't know what the relationship between you and this Tian Shao is on weekdays?" ”

Gongsun Zhao was stunned for a moment, and said incomprehensibly: "There are some contacts on weekdays, I don't know why the prince of the palace asks like this?" ”

Liu Yu said: "Oh, I see, I just asked, because Tian Shao told me something about you last night." ”

"My lord, don't believe Tian Shao's words, this person is extremely insidious." Gongsun Zhao was a little nervous. Gongsun Zhao knew that Liu Yu had taken a lot of money and food from those rich people yesterday, and even Tian Shao, who was extremely proud and arrogant on weekdays, gave in.

Liu Yu smiled: "What are you nervous about?" I didn't say anything. ”

Gongsun Zhao was a little embarrassed and said, "I just think that Tian Shao will do anything for his own interests, and I am worried that he will slander me and destroy our relationship from the prince." I don't know what Tian Shao said to adults? ”

"Tian Shao, he didn't say anything, he just said that you used your private power to receive all the money and grain in the county into your house, and there was some collusion with the bandits, plundering the money and grain of the big counties in the county and sharing them equally, they robbed and you sat idly by, so that the bandits are so powerful, and there are some things, I don't think it's true, so I won't say it." Liu Yu said expressionlessly.

"Lord Fujun is wise, these are indeed not true, I am just a small county commander, how dare I act so recklessly? This is all Tian Shao's blood spurting people, the adults don't know, that Tian Shao killed the county officials, occupied the fields and occupied them for himself, most of the money and grain in the county were occupied by him, and the rest of me is just, I am just temporarily keeping, and I am planning to hand it over to the adults when the adults come. Gongsun Zhao was a little frightened.

"But Tian Shao didn't tell me that, he said you did it." Liu Yu was unmoved.

"Fu Jun is clear, this is all done by Tian Shao, he has a huge influence in this county, and his roots are very deep, and I don't dare to provoke him on weekdays, so I have never dared to tell Fu Jun." Gongsun Zhao was about to kneel, he was still very afraid of death.

"Now don't be afraid, I am the master for you, you will hand over all the money and grain in the treasury to me, and since you want to say that these things were not done by you but by Tian Shao, you can write Tian Shao's crimes well today and hand them over to me tonight, otherwise, I can only assume that Tian Shao's words are true." Liu Yu said.

"The lower officials must do it, and they must do it." Gongsun Zhao fell to his knees.

After Liu Yu left, Gongsun Zhao found that he had broken out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly asked people to take out half of the money and grain in the treasury and hand it to Liu Yu, with a total of 200,000 baht and 60,000 stones.

At night, Liu Yu took Tian Shao's crime written by Gongsun Zhao and read it, his brows furrowed, he was really a murderous demon, and there were no less than dozens of people in the county who were mutilated by Tian Shao. After telling Gongsun Zhao that it was okay, he let him retreat.
