The four businessmen of Xu Heshan went to Zhou Yongchun to complain again, Zhou Yongchun's reply was very simple, Lord Xiong had already ordered the officers and soldiers to go to suppress the bandits, since you said that there were a large number of bandits in Shaling, then I would go and urge the officers and soldiers to go to Shaling.

Governor Zhou said so, what else could Xu Heshan say, they could only leave.

Now that the goods are lost, what can I do? In their opinion, it is definitely a family of soldiers and bandits, otherwise, how can they suppress more and more. Moreover, there are so many bandits in Shaling, and the officers and soldiers are all eating dry food.

No matter how much you look for a place to reason, you can't find it. The four of them studied it, and a businessman named Peng Yu said, "Otherwise, let's go to the tax supervisor Gao Gonggong to administer justice for us." ”

"What's the use?" Xu Heshan asked with a frown.

"I often go here in Liaodong, and I also have a relationship with Gao Gonggong. Although finding Gao Gonggong may not be able to recover our goods, Gao Gonggong will definitely make decisions for us and make those soldiers in Liaodong look good! Peng Yu said.

"That's what I said, but I've heard that this Gao Gonggong has always only recognized silver, and what is the situation of us now. Just go empty-handed, Gao Gonggong may not be able to deal with us. Another businessman said.

"Go and try it, if it doesn't work, let's go. Anyway, I really can't swallow this breath. Peng Yu said.

"Who says it's not. Then let's try it. If Gonggong Gao can really make decisions for us, this filial piety, we will make up for him in the future. Anyway, it's not like we're not going to come to Liaodong again. Xu Heshan said.

The four of them finally agreed to go to Gao Gonggong to give it a try.

At this moment, the tax superintendent's yamen seems to be very deserted. Since the last incident, Gao Gonggong's status in Liaodong has plummeted, and the people who came to slap him in the past dare not come now.

However, in the study, Gao Gonggong was just receiving a guest. This guest is from Shanxi, and it is Lin Xiangyun's boss, named Zhai Tang.

"Father-in-law Gao, the fact that the Lu silk I brought to you this time was robbed by the Liaodong bandits, and this fact is not right for you." Zhai Tang said apologetically.

"This is not what you think, recently Liaodong bandits have been rampant, and our family has also heard about it, so it's no wonder you." Gao Gonggong said.

"Those silk silks, the small ones will be made up for you the next time they are delivered. It's just that right now, there are ringing horses everywhere in Liaodong, and the villain asked people to send salt over there, and I don't know if they will encounter ringing horses again, which is really worrying. And the thing about the ringing horse is a bit strange, it is just to collect tolls and sell what flags. But once and again, this cost is quite a lot. With this money, how good it should be for the villain to honor his father-in-law. I think this matter, it must be a family of soldiers and bandits! Zhai Tang said.

"We think it's better to mess up. Xiong Tingbi is a bastard, and our family will take advantage of this matter to clean him up. And our family can also see that this matter is related to Wang Yu, a little beast. Gao Gonggong said indignantly.

He hated Wang Yu and Xiong Tingbi, and was also very dissatisfied with the affairs of the bandits in Liaodong.

Gao Gonggong didn't give it for nothing, anyone could see that it was a family of soldiers and bandits, how could he not see it. The reason why he is dissatisfied with this matter is not because he has great righteousness, but because you have gained benefits below, and he has nothing to do with Lao Tzu, and he doesn't take me seriously.

He had already made up his mind, so he took advantage of this matter to kill Xiong Tingbi.

As he spoke, there was a knock on the door outside, and Grandpa Gao asked him to come in, and after questioning, he learned that there were four businessmen who asked to see him, saying that they were here to complain and ask him to call the shots.

As soon as Gonggong Gao heard this, he immediately invited, and after a while, Xu Heshan, Peng Yu and other four businessmen arrived.

As soon as the four of them saw Father-in-law Gao, they immediately asked for peace and expressed their grievances.

As soon as Gonggong Gao heard that the four of them had been robbed by more than 2,000 bandits in Shaling, he was overjoyed and deliberately said, "What? There are so many bandits in Shaling, what are the soldiers and horses in Liaodong for! Rest assured, the four of you, our family will definitely make decisions for you. ”

"Thank you, father-in-law." The four of them hurriedly said gratefully.

The four of them really didn't expect that Father-in-law Gao would be so righteous.

Immediately, Gonggong Gao stood up and said: "You go with our family, then go to Xiong Tingbi, our family should ask him Xiong Tingbi, what's wrong with Liaodong now, where are so many bandits!" ”

There is a high father-in-law who comes out and administers justice, in the eyes of the four of them, they will definitely get an explanation if they go forward.

It's not that the four of them haven't been here, and they can't enter the door at all, so they can only go to the governor's yamen.

This time, he followed Gao Gonggong to the outside of the Jingluo Xingyuan, and Gao Gonggong asked someone to vote for a name card to see Xiong Tingbi.

Naturally, it was impossible for Lord Xiong to come out to pick him up, so he sent soldiers out and said, "Father-in-law Gao, please."

Gao Gonggong entered the main hall in a hurry, and the four bosses followed cautiously. Xiong Tingbi sat in the middle, and Gao Gonggong bowed his hand slightly, and said, "Our family has seen Lord Xiong." ”

Xu Heshan and others are a big gift.

"Excuse me." Xiong Tingbi waved his hand slightly and said, "Father-in-law Gao, what is the matter with you coming here to see Ben Shuai?" ”

"Our family came here this time because we wanted to question Lord Xiong. At present, the bandits in Liaodong are rampant, and they dare to blatantly collect tolls, who gave them the courage? Gao Gonggong said loudly and proudly.

was finally able to exhale and raise his eyebrows in front of Xiong Tingbi.

Xiong Tingbi smiled faintly and said, "This commander has asked Li Huaixin to lead the army to suppress the bandits, and there are many good news." There are no bandits anymore who collect the money from the passers. As for the places where flags are sold, they have also been sealed down by officers and soldiers. ”

"Heh......" Gao Gonggong sneered and said, "There is no money to collect from the road, but now it is directly robbed!" ”

"If the bandits don't rob it, will they talk to you?" Xiong Tingbi said with a chuckle.

yes, aren't bandits robbers?

"You!" Gao Gong was almost choked to death by this sentence. He immediately shouted indignantly: "Right now, there are more than 3,000 bandits in Shaling, and we want to ask Lord Xiong, where are so many bandits under your nose!" Shaling is so close to Liaoyang, and the bandits still dare to be so rampant, are your Xiong Lord's soldiers and horses all decorations? ”

Speaking of this, he pointed to the four Xu Heshan behind him, and shouted loudly: "When the four of them passed through the sand ridge with a caravan of 1,000 people, they were robbed by bandits!" This is not our arrangement! Lord Xiong, if you don't give our family an explanation, don't blame our family for playing tomorrow! ”

"Hahahaha......" Xiong Tingbi laughed first, and then said: "So that's what happened." Recently, there have been frequent reports of victories in the suppression of bandits in Liaodong, and just now Li Huaixin has come to report the victory, saying that the general has dealt a heavy blow to the bandits in the Shaling area, beheaded more than 20 people, and seized a large amount of goods. Why did my father-in-law say that Liaodong soldiers and horses were ornaments? Ben Shuai also plans to report the victory to the imperial court. ”

When the four merchants heard that the goods had been recovered, they were all overjoyed. Hurriedly said: "Thank you, thank you, thank you, ......"

But Gonggong Gao was stunned, and then said: "There can be 3,000 bandits, why only kill about 20 of them, and the others?" ”

The others scattered and fled, and the soldiers and horses were in pursuit. Does Grandpa Gao still have any questions? Xiong Tingbi said with a sneer.

"Humph!" Gao Gonggong stomped his foot heavily, and he really didn't know what to say.

You said that people don't suppress bandits, they have already suppressed them, and they have also snatched back the goods. You said that people killed less, but they replied that they were arresting. There are reasons for both horizontal and vertical.

At this time, a soldier outside the door ran in, knelt on one knee, and said: "Qiqi Marshal, General Li outside the gate has come to report the victory!" ”

"Oh? Invite him in. Xiong Tingbi said loudly.

The soldiers retreated and ran out, Xiong Tingbi looked at Gonggong Gao and said, "Gonggong Gao, Li Huaixin came to report the victory again, thinking that it was a matter of suppressing bandits, and he had made another gain." Father-in-law, do you want to hear it? ”

Father-in-law Gao looked embarrassed, but he still forced a smile and said: "Listen to it, listen to it, our family wants to see how many gains there are this time!" ”

Soon, Li Huaixin walked in in a hurry.

Although he saw that Gonggong Gao was here, he didn't pay attention to it at all, but directly hugged his fist at Xiong Tingbi, bowed down and said: "Qiqi Marshal, just after a thousand chief Mao Chenglu reported success, he was ordered to go to the border to patrol the border, and found that there was a caravan that could cross the defense line, so he went to check. It turned out that the trucks were full of salt, and when the people who returned saw the officers and soldiers, they fled in panic, and only caught a man and a dozen men. Under interrogation, it was learned that it was the family of Zhai Tang, a businessman from Shanxi, who was ordered to trade with the Jurchens. ”

Hearing this, Gao Gonggong shuddered when he boarded. Just now, Zhai Tang also told him that he sent someone to trade with the Jurchens, but he didn't expect to be arrested, how good is this.

"What a guts!" Xiong Tingbi slapped the table and shouted, "Bring people in for me!" ”

"Yes!" After Li Huaixin finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the main hall, shouting outside, "Bring people up." ”

Xiong Tingbi looked at Father-in-law Gao, and seeing that Father-in-law Gao's face was wrong, he deliberately tried to say, "Father-in-law doesn't know this Zhai Tang, right?" ”

"I don't know ......" Gao Gonggong quickly shook his head and said eagerly: "How can our family know such a person!" ”

Xiong Tingbi sneered in his heart, and then said, "Does my father-in-law have anything else?" ”

"No, no......" Gao Gonggong hurriedly said.

"Since it's okay, let's go back. Now the marshal has to interrogate the traitor. Xiong Tingbi said.

"Good, good......" Gao Gonggong could only retire.

Instead, Xu Heshan hurriedly said: "Lord Xiong, you said that a lot of goods were seized in Shaling, and those are a few small people, I don't know if they can be returned." ”

"Ben Shuai doesn't have time to deal with this matter now, the good news should have been sent to the governor's yamen, you go to the governor's yamen to handle it." Xiong Tingbi waved his hand as he spoke.

Naturally, they didn't dare to continue to bother, so they quickly retired and left.

The people were sent away, and the prisoners outside were also escorted up by Mao Chenglu.

Although this incident nominally belongs to Mao Chenglu's credit, everyone knows that it was Wang Yu's people.

Xiong Tingbi interrogated in court, it was indeed the family of Shanxi businessman Zhai Tang, and then inquired, and learned that Zhai Tang had given a lot of gifts to Gao Gonggong, and he also sent a lot of silk this time. Now Zhai Tang seems to be in Grandpa Gao's house.

The reason why this tent can be so honest is naturally that it was subdued.
