Chapter 104: Complaint
"My lord, now there are bandits rampant on the ground in Liaodong, it is simply lawless, and even officials and bandits collude, please make our own decisions. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" "Yes, please make the decision for us." "Your Excellency, please!" ……
Liaodong Governor Yamen.
Governor Zhou Yongchun was busy, and early in the morning, more than 20 businessmen complained, all saying that bandits were rampant in Liaodong, and tolls were collected everywhere, so that we couldn't get by.
And these bandits are so arrogant, they are simply rampant, and they even sent road flags, thinking of themselves as something, Liaodong is still not the world of the Ming Dynasty, is there a bit of royal law.
The most terrible thing is that some merchants went to the nearby guard post to complain, but not only was it useless, they could not catch the bandits, and after leaving, they were killed by the bandits. This is simply the collusion of officials and bandits, lawlessness.
Many businessmen originally planned to find Xiong Tingbi to complain, but Lord Xiong was too busy to even enter the gate of Xingyuan, so they had no choice but to sue Governor Zhou Yongchun.
After hearing this, Governor Zhou couldn't help but wonder a little, although there were many bandits in Liaodong, how could he suddenly become so bold. But looking at the appearance of these merchants, it doesn't seem to be fake.
However, this kind of thing, Governor Zhou can't control it, and at present, the military power of Liaodong is all in the hands of Xiong Tingbi, and the soldiers and horses he can mobilize are limited. Moreover, the water in Liaodong is very deep, and he can't move until he knows what is going on. After all, the behavior of these bandits is unusual, and the posture of collecting tolls is a bit similar to collecting taxes, unlike the behavior of ordinary bandits.
So, Governor Zhou said: "What you said, the ministry already knows. In this case, you go back first, and the Ministry will let people go to investigate, and they will definitely give you an explanation in the shortest possible time. ”
"Thank you, then, sir." "Thank you, sir." "Thank you, sir." ……
Zhou Yongchun's statement is a normal official tone, but these businessmen have no recruitment, so they can only do this first.
They left the governor's yamen, but Zhou Yongchun was a person who did practical things, and then asked someone to prepare a sedan chair, and then went to Jingluo.
When he arrived in Xingyuan and saw Xiong Tingbi, Zhou Yongchun told Lord Xiong about it.
The two of them are partners, Zhou Yongchun is also a talent, not to mention doing things in a measured manner, he has a lot of credit in logistics, and he is quite happy to cooperate with Xiong Ting.
He didn't know the inside story, mainly because he was worried that something big would happen in Liaodong, and if it was the collusion of officials and bandits, it would not be a small matter.
Although Xiong Tingbi didn't know about this matter, Lord Xiong knew more about it than Zhou Yongchun, and after he heard it, he immediately thought of Wang Yu.
Wang Yu swallowed the territory of the Jinlong Gang some time ago, and now his strength is extremely strong. And it is said that he is in business, but he is not like a businessman, ordinary people dare to fight with the Jurchens again and again. Obviously, it was a bandit background.
At present, which bandit has the strength and courage to make such a big move in Liaodong, it seems that there is no one else except Wang Yu.
Even if Wang Yu doesn't eat both black and white, Li Huaixin, the general soldier of Liaodong, is giving Wang Yu face. In addition, he also handled a case with Dongchang and made great contributions to the imperial court, so he did this, as long as Li Huaixin helped a little, the generals of Liaodong really would not send troops to arrest him.
asked Xiong Tingbi to order Wang Yu to be destroyed, he was embarrassed and reluctant. After pondering for a while, he said, "Brother Meng Tai, just leave this matter to me to investigate." ”
"Okay, then everything is up to Brother Lao Feibai." Zhou Yongchun said politely.
The two chatted for a while and said something about the military situation in Liaodong before Zhou Yongchun said goodbye and left.
As soon as he walked on the front foot, Xiong Tingbi immediately called someone to inform Li Huaixin and asked Li Huaixin to find Wang Yu.
What Wang Yu did, Li Huaixin knew. He has taken a lot of benefits from Wang Yu, plus Wang Yu and Dongchang have a relationship, although he knows that it is not good to do this kind of thing, and the danger is not small, but it is inconvenient not to give face, anyway, just open his eyes and close his eyes, almost on the line. Of course, even if he opened his eyes and closed his eyes, he also helped Wang Yu a little. At least in the communication of some generals, Li Huaixin has hinted even if he didn't say it directly. Otherwise, some generals would not dare to accept Wang Yu's money easily.
It is certain that military generals love money, especially when they use soldiers, they need money even more. Ordinary battalion soldiers have no combat effectiveness, and all rely on domestic soldiers. The battalion soldiers' salaries can be deducted, but the soldiers' silver must not be less, that is really desperate. Just like the famous Qi family's army, Qi Jiguang also had to scrape the ground to find a way to get silver in order to raise soldiers.
The location of Xiaotuan Mountain is so conspicuous, even if there is a shortage of major generals on Ningyuan's side, there are soldiers and generals in Shanhaiguan, and the chief soldier Chai Guozhu is also a number one. Without Li Huaixin's help, Chai Guozhu couldn't let Wang Yu spread wild under his nose.
As soon as he heard that Xiong Tingbi asked him to find Wang Yu to go through a strategy, Li Huaixin guessed why. Sand is not tolerated in Lord Xiong's eyes, Wang Yu's approach will not make Lord Xiong very angry. But when Wang Yu looked for him, his face was full of confidence, saying that Lord Xiong would just hand it over to him.
Since you say so, then you should go and meet Lady Xiong. Li Huaixin asked the soldiers to go to Wang Yu's mansion to invite Wang Yu.
At this moment, Wang Yu is in the house on the side of Nanmen Mountain outside Liaoyang City.
The reason why he has lived here recently is because he knows that Xiong Tingbi will definitely look for him, so be conscious and don't let people wait for a long time.
Don't look at the cold, Wang Yu is not idle, practicing knives in the yard.
The knife I practice now is not the ordinary steel knife I used to be, but a machete. Guo Shubao's weapon, Wang Yu has seen, the big knife can have sixty catties, wide and thick, the blade is not particularly long, but horse combat can also be foot.
Wang Yu knew in his heart that if he and Guo Shubao used weapons to compete at that time, there was a chance that he would not be able to defeat Guo Shubao. The long weapon Wang Yu also practiced when he was a martial arts stand-in, that is, he played with a flower gun, which was not very powerful, and the weapon was light. Against a master like Guo Shubao, if you don't have a weapon of sufficient weight, you can't do it. And in the future, I will not only fight on foot, but also on horseback.
I have suffered a loss in weapons in Heihugou, and now that I have time, I should practice more long weapons.
So Wang Yu also created a machete similar to Guo Shubao, but there was no ring, and it was not as heavy as Guo Shubao, almost fifty catties.
Rao is like this, this knife also looks very thick, and when you start practicing, you can't fight for a long time, you have to get used to it slowly. After a period of hard training, it can be regarded as being able to control.
He practiced for half an hour, and then saw Yan Mei'er, Ah Jing and Qin Shuang coming out of the room.
All three of them wore new dresses made of fine silk. That's right, these are all sent by the daybreaker, and the tailor will do it well.
"Big brother, you see that my clothes are not beautiful!"
Qin Shuang didn't wait for Wang Yu to come close, and he jumped up and shouted. Beauty loves red makeup, and little girls are no exception.
Wang Yu put away the knife, thrust it into the ground, and said with a smile: "Beautiful, Xiaoshuang'er is beautiful in everything." ”
"It's good if the big brother likes it. My sister said that this color was not suitable for me. Qin Shuang said, pouting and looking at his sister.
The color of her dress is bright red, and she looks very beautiful to wear, but she is slightly mature, and she doesn't look like a girl anymore.
At present, Qin Shuang is at the age of development, and when he wears this body, he is immature with a hint of maturity, like a flower bud that is about to bloom.
Around her neck, there is a string of pearl necklaces, two of which are Dadong pearls. On the hair, there are two bead hairpins, and the beads on the bead hairpins are also Dadong beads.
This kind of outfit can be described as bright and moving.
If it weren't for being together, Wang Yu couldn't believe that in just over half a year, Qin Shuang would be so beautiful and beautiful.
"You girl, let you read books and learn some female popularity, it's good now, you will know the stinky beauty in one day." Yan Mei'er said angrily.
"Big brother likes it, what should you do......" Qin Shuang said, made a grimace at his sister, and even jumped to Wang Yu's side.
She saw that Wang Yu's forehead was covered with sweat, so she took out her handkerchief and said sweetly: "Big brother, I'll wipe your sweat." ”
"Shuang'er is so good." Wang Yu said with a smile.
"You're used to her all day long." Yan Mei'er deliberately counted down.
That was said, but her heart was extremely happy.
At the beginning, she fell into the dust, but she didn't want her sister to be like her, and hoped that her sister could have a good home.
But my sister really wants to find a good home, but it's not easy. After all, Yan Mei'er is in that line of work, who will look down on her sister.
At present, Wang Yu loves Qin Shuang very much, and even Wang Yu does not look down on their sisters at all. Therefore, Yan Meier has decided to marry her sister to Wang Yu. In her opinion, Wang Yu is the best destination for her and her sister.
Yan Meier and Ah Jing also came to Wang Yu's side, talked about it, and went to eat together.
At this stall, a maid came to report, saying that it was someone from the General Military Mansion who wanted to see the master.
As soon as Wang Yu heard that Li Huaixin had sent someone to come, he immediately guessed a rough idea, ordered the flower hall to serve tea, he asked the three girls to eat by themselves, and then changed their clothes and went to the flower hall to meet each other.
When I saw someone coming, I learned that Xiong Tingbi was invited, and Wang Yu was not lazy, so he set off. He knew that the person who came was Li Huaixin's confidant, and he rewarded him with ten taels of silver, which made the person who came grateful.
Now that the Wang gang leader is going out, he has to hug him before and after, and he brought more than 20 people to Jingluo Xingyuan.
When he arrived at the place, after the word was transmitted, Xiong Tingbi sent someone to invite him to the study.
When the two met, Wang Yu had to be polite and polite.
Xiong Tingbi is not a person who beats around the bush, and when the tea is served, the subordinates close the door of the study, and then get straight to the point, asking Wang Yu about the recent bandits in Liaodong.
Wang Yu naturally will not deny it, otherwise, as long as Lord Xiong speaks, as soon as the soldiers and horses of Liaodong come out, his little belongings will not be directly extinguished.
He said with a smile: "Lord Xiong, the villain also mentioned to the adults before that among the merchants in Liaodong, there are many traitors who collaborate with the enemy and sell military supplies to the Tartars. For this kind of rat generation who only serve their own interests, eradicating them is what our generation should do. Didn't you praise the villain at that time......
"That's you robbing and killing illegal merchants and Jurchens, but now the bandits in Liaodong are rampant, collecting tolls everywhere, what's going on?" Xiong Tingbi asked with a polite temperament.
This is Wang Yu, if someone else dares to say this, Lord Xiong will be annoyed for a long time.
