Gao Gonggong returned to the tax supervisor's yamen, and as soon as he entered the door, he asked directly: "Where is the surname Zhai?" ”

"I'm waiting for you in the backyard. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" someone hurriedly said.

"Go and ...... him," Gao Gonggong made a false gesture, and then added, "Then sink the man into the pond in the backyard." It has to be done cleanly, you know. ”

"Yes." The subordinate nodded in agreement.

Although I don't understand what my father-in-law means, he was a guest yesterday, so why do you want to kill someone today. But the father-in-law's words, that must be carried out, he shouted two people to go to the backyard to kill people.

Gao Gonggong naturally had his intentions in doing this. Zhai Tang smuggled military supplies to the Jurchens, this is a crime of raiding the house and destroying the door, if Zhai Tang is allowed to leave alive, he will be dragged into the water if he is not good.

The confession of a mere account room, Gao Gonggong is naturally not afraid, after all, he has a conflict with Xiong Tingbi, saying that he is a trick and blames others, how can he get things over. But if Zhai Tang is allowed to go out, in case there are Xiong Tingbi's people waiting outside, it won't be over.

This kind of risk, Gao Gonggong will not take it, so it is better to use the simplest method. Although Zhai Tang had given him a lot of filial piety, he could only say sorry now.

Immediately afterwards, Gonggong Gao wrote a recital in the hall, the content was very simple, that is, Xiong Tingbi was ineffective in suppressing bandits, and even deliberately connived, so that the bandits in Liaodong were rampant.

Xu Heshan and four other businessmen went to the governor's yamen, and under the coordination of Zhou Yongchun, the goods "captured" by the officers and soldiers were finally returned to them.

However, this cargo is really a little less, compared to the whole cargo, only 20% is left.

Guo Shubao originally left forty percent, but in the hands of Mao Wenlong, he naturally had to scrape off a layer. Lao Tzu went so far to pick up the goods, and it was not possible to do it without some benefits. The goods were handed over to Li Huaixin, and Li Huaixin scraped another layer, this is all money, why not. Besides, this is a seizure, it's good to leave some for you, what else do you care, if you want not to lose anything, go to the Liaodong Dart Bureau to escort it, and give you a shame.

And these forty percent are not even, normally speaking, there are marks of each family on the box. There are a lot of Peng Yu's goods here, and there is also a lot of goods from a businessman. As for Xu Heshan's goods, because his convoy was in front, there was not a single box.

He will definitely not do it, and no matter how dissatisfied he is, there is no way, the officers and soldiers have captured so much, you can sue wherever you like. After all, our Liaodong soldiers and horses also tried their best, and it doesn't mean that they didn't suppress bandits. But the bandits ran away, and we don't know where the goods will go, at most we will help you find them slowly. As for when we will find it, that's for sure.

As soon as he saw this situation, Xu Heshan couldn't help it, you can leave Liaodong first. I also have familiar officials in the capital, so let's find a way to sue when the time comes.

And Peng Yu, who found the goods, and another businessman didn't dare to leave like this, in case they were robbed again. Seeing that the merchants in Liaoyang went to the Liaodong Dart Bureau to help escort the transportation, they had no choice but to go to the Liaodong Dart Bureau.

Beijing, Master of Ceremonies.

On this day, Wang An reviewed the folds as usual. However, today's twists and turns are a bit different from usual, and most of them are impeached Xiong Tingbi. It is said that Liaodong is seriously plagued by bandits, and Xiong Tingbi is not effective in suppressing bandits.

Soon, he saw Gao Gonggong's recital, and the content was probably the same.

Wang An couldn't help frowning, wondering in his heart, what is going on, Liaodong was fine before, why did bandits suddenly run rampant.

"Is there a twist and turn of Xiong Tingbi?" Wang An looked at the little eunuch who had sent him over.

"If you go back to your father-in-law, there is no Xiong Tingbi sent this time." The little eunuch said.

"You go and take a look, if Xiong Tingbi's performance is broken, send it to me immediately." Wang An said.

"Yes, father-in-law."

Xiong Tingbi's recital was delivered the next day.

Wang An didn't approve the previous twists and turns, and now that Emperor Wanli is dying, he naturally doesn't have to bother his old man anymore. Basically, everything is reviewed by him.

As soon as Xiong Tingbi's recital arrived, the little eunuch immediately sent it to him.

Lord Xiong can be such a big official, he is naturally very shrewd, and in his opinion, Gonggong Gao will definitely sue the wicked first, so he also wrote a letter and sent it to the capital.

The content of his recital is probably like this, since the battle of Sarhu and the defeat of the imperial court, there are many displaced people here in Liaodong, including not only the local Han people in Liaodong, but also the Mongols. Although he has recruited and settled a large number of displaced people, many of them have also fallen into the grass. Since taking office, the minister's top priority is to defend the land and the people, consolidate the defense line in Shenyang and Liaodong, and also have to recruit troops and buy horses, and invade the Tartars at any time. At present, the defense line has been consolidated, and the minister has only recently begun to suppress bandits, and the general soldier Li Huaixin and other generals at all levels have been captured, and many mountains have been wiped out. However, the suppression of bandits is not a day's work, and the border defense line cannot be lost, and the minister can only transfer some troops and horses, and it is impossible to mobilize a large army to suppress the bandits. In addition, recently, the minister captured a Shanxi businessman Zhai Tang smuggling military supplies to Tartars, but Zhai Tang's whereabouts are unknown, according to the confession of the house tent, Zhai Tang may be hiding in the tax supervision yamen, I don't know if it is true. A statement from the accountant is attached.

Although Wang An protects his shortcomings, he is not the kind of person who is unreasonable. Xiong Tingbi's recital is reasonable. When Xiong Tingbi went to Liaodong, there were not many people, most of them had just been recruited, and the primary responsibility was to consolidate the defense line, how could there be kung fu to suppress the bandits. Now it is good to be able to draw out a certain amount of soldiers and horses to suppress bandits. After all, the first priority is to strengthen the defense line, not to lose the country. In the end, Xiong Tingbi also sued Gao Gonggong, and Wang An was not sure whether it was true or not. A confession from an account office is certainly not enough.

After pondering for a while, Wang An left all the twists and turns of impeachment of Xiong Tingbi in the middle, and the reply of Gao Gonggong's folds was that Wang An's reply was not to make a fuss about nothing, and the reply to Xiong Tingbi was to reward meritorious generals for their meritorious deeds.

Otherwise, Wang An would be able to climb to this position, and he would have done things steadily, and this dispute would have been resolved lightly.

Since then, the Liaodong Dart Bureau has been happy, but all the businessmen who go out of the customs have to find the bodyguards of the Liaodong Dart Bureau, even if the premium is more expensive, at least it can ensure safety. When a businessman does business, safety comes first, and the second is making money. If there is no safety guarantee, not to mention the loss of life, it will be a hundred, and if the goods are robbed, this trip will be lost.

To go to Shanhaiguan from all over Liaodong, you also have to find the Liaodong Dart Bureau to underwrite. Along the way, there will be occasional encounters with bandits, but they are all thrilling, and with the dart master of the Liaodong Dart Bureau coming forward, the matter can be solved directly.

Wang Yu's life is incomparably better now, and money is like flowing water into his pocket. The strength of the Liao Gang has also been greatly improved, not counting the mountains of those alliances, there are now thousands of them.

They were having a good time, but there was one person who was having a hard time, and that person was naturally Nurhachi.

Since the beginning of the war, the Jurchens have had no normal business dealings with the Ming Dynasty. If you want to get military supplies and daily necessities, you must collude with the merchants of the Ming Dynasty in private.

This road used to work, after all, the merchants pursued profits, the Jurchens gave money and were happy, and there were many people who ventured to sell goods. But since Wang Yu ran rampant in Liaodong, the goods of the merchants basically couldn't come. Nurhachi could only buy necessities through the Mongolian side. In this way, the price is not only higher, but also more troublesome.

The Great Khan of the Mandate of Heaven was very angry, so he sent troops to attack Shenyang in March of the 48th year of Wanli. Since the business can't be done, then Lao Tzu can only rob it.

Xiong Tingbi mobilized his troops and horses to engage in a fierce battle with the Jurchens, in which defense was the mainstay, and both sides had their own victories and defeats. However, the Jurchens were very strong, and Hualing, Wang Dadatun, and Puhe fell successively. But the Jurchens did not have the ability to step on this line of defense from Shenyang to Liaoyang, and the Liaodong Army ensured the security of the rear.

After repeated battles, the Tartars did not gain much advantage, and their morale was frustrated, so they could only temporarily withdraw from the army and recuperate.

In the capital, the bad news came that the Wanli Emperor died and was succeeded by the crown prince Zhu Changluo.

As soon as Zhu Changluo succeeded to the throne, he did three things in a row. The first thing is to order Ye Xianggao, who has already gone home, to come back, the second thing is to send internal money to reward Jiubian, and the third thing is to abolish the business tax and mining tax set by his father.

These three things made the civil official group in the capital and the soldiers of the nine sides very happy, and it can be regarded as the new emperor taking the throne to buy people's hearts.

Since it was an internal guard, it was natural that the eunuch should be in charge of escorting, and Wang An ordered the eunuch Lu Qia to take 2,000 men and horses to Liaodong.

The emperor sent a reward for nine sides, and naturally the silver could not be missing, a total of two million taels. But there is not only one family in Liaodong on the nine sides, because Liaodong is fighting, so it is divided into more, a total of 500,000 taels. But as soon as this silver came out of Beijing, it was drifted away 150,000 taels, leaving 350,000 yuan.

If you don't have this kind of thing, the generals below have to admit it, because you can't be reasonable, and you can't fight a lawsuit. If you don't do it well, you will even lose your official position.

Lu Qia came to Liaodong with 350,000 taels of silver, and went straight to Liaoyang after leaving the customs. This is an official and military escort, who dares to rob it along the way. Then, just after passing Jinzhou, a ringing horse suddenly killed, this battle was very strange, the officers and soldiers retreated first, let the ringing horse snatch a lot of silver, followed by the officers and soldiers to pounce again, the trailing bandits captured six.

After checking and counting, Xiangma snatched 110,000 taels of silver. Lu Qia was very angry, and after severely torturing these six Xiangma, he learned that they were members of the Liao Gang. So on the one hand, he wrote a report to the imperial court, explained the matter, and bluntly said that he had been robbed of 260,000 taels of silver, and now there were 240,000 left.

Then, he returned to Jinzhou and sent someone to Liaoyang to deliver a letter to Xiong Tingbi. said that there were too many horses in Liaodong, and they were robbed, so Xiong Tingbi sent someone to answer them.
