Chapter 47: The evidence is handed over to Xiong Jingluo
Seeing that Tang Yuan didn't know anything, Gonggong Gao was obviously a little annoyed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Just as he was working, a little eunuch outside hurriedly ran in, "Father-in-law, something happened." ”
"What's going on again?" Grandpa Gao asked angrily.
It's early in the morning, how can it be clean?
"I just got the news that last night, the Tang Mansion in the city was raided by officers and soldiers." The little eunuch said eagerly.
"What?" As soon as Tang Yuan heard that his home in the city had been raided, he was deeply shocked and almost fainted.
Gonggong Gao was even more surprised, if the Tang Mansion outside the city was looted by Jiangyang thieves, it would be reasonable. But the Tang Mansion in the city was copied by officers and soldiers, who has such courage.
"Where's the horses?" Gao Gonggong asked angrily.
"It seems to be the people of the General Army's Office." The little eunuch said.
"Li Huaixin's people!" Gao Gonggong raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Okay, he is Li Huaixin, he is really bold, knowing that Tang Zhen is my sworn brother, he even dares to raid his home, I think he is the opposite!" Come on, prepare a sedan chair for me! ”
"Yes." The little eunuch hurriedly agreed and hurried out.
Tang Yuan, who was on the side, knelt down and cried, "Godfather, why is my yard in the city still being copied...... You've got to call the shots for me this time......"
"Cry! Just know to cry! Have you made a difference? Guixi, you take him to rest first, and I'll go see Li Huaixin and see what he means! Gao Gonggong shouted indignantly.
"Godfather...... You must call the shots for me......" Tang Yuan was already panicked, and now he didn't know what to do, so he could only count on his godfather Gao Gonggong to support him. When I was helped out by Guixi, I was still crying all the time.
The sedan chair was prepared, and Gao Gonggong got on the sedan chair directly and went to the General Soldier's Mansion.
At home before, he was angry, and he felt that Li Huaixin was so bold that he dared to copy the Tang family. It depends on the owner to beat the dog, you Li Huaixin obviously don't give face to our family.
But halfway through, Gao Gonggong felt that there must be a problem here. For no reason, Li Huaixin still ate the heart of the bear and drank the gall of the leopard, so he dared to copy his house casually. He thinks that there must be a reason for this, but he can't think of what the reason will be.
But no matter what, I want Li Huaixin to give an explanation, otherwise, how can our family mix up this one-third of an acre of land in Liaodong. Even if you don't avenge Tang Zhen, you have to get your face back.
When he came to the General Soldier's Mansion, Gonggong Gao did not get out of the sedan chair, and directly asked the little eunuch to take his name card and throw it in.
Li Huaixin is now the chief soldier of Liaodong, a second-grade military general, and Gao Gonggong is just a tax supervisor, if it is about grade, the difference between the two is 108,000 miles.
However, in the Ming Dynasty, the status of eunuchs was quite lofty, and the eunuch level of the eunuch was only four grades, but he could be on an equal footing with the first assistant, and even above the first assistant. In terms of civil officials and military generals, the gap is basically one grade, that is to say, the second-grade military generals and the third-grade civilian officials are equal, but in some cases, the civil officials of the fourth and fifth grades do not take you as a general soldier in their eyes.
When Hong Chengchou was the governor of Jiliao, he still held the title of the secretary of the military department, what a big official he was, and it was not enough for a small eunuch to toss around.
Therefore, the grade thing was not very useful in the Ming Dynasty, mainly depending on what position you were in.
After Li Huaixin saw the famous post, he hurriedly greeted him in person, invited Gao Gonggong to sit in the main hall, and ordered someone to make tea immediately.
As soon as Gonggong Gao sat down, he slapped Li Huaixin up and down, and then said in a weird manner: "General Li, I heard that you copied Tang Zhen's house, is there such a thing?" ”
Li Huaixin had already expected that after copying the Tang family, Gonggong Gao would definitely come to Xingshi to ask for the guilt. However, since Mao Wenlong's statement has been recognized, the Tang family is an enemy and is accused of fornicating with the Jurchens, it is reasonable to copy the Tang family's house in the city. Besides, the Tang family has money, and the money in the house outside the city, it is estimated that Mao Wenlong will definitely scratch a penny, and the house in the city, but no one touches it, and the benefit of copying this ticket is huge. Thinking of the Tang family's silver, Li Huaixin was not polite, and copied it after returning to the city.
At this moment, Li Huaixin smiled slightly and said: "If you return to your father-in-law, the general will receive information that Tang Zhen secretly colluded with the Jurchens to sell military supplies to the enemy. So he sent someone to check, and sure enough, he ordered Mao Wenlong to capture him, not wanting the Tang family and the Jurchens to resist stubbornly, so they were all annihilated. Among them, more than 100 Jurchens were killed, with tooth cards as evidence, and a large number of military supplies such as salt and iron, medicinal herbs, and armor. The last general has now reported to Lord Xiong, and the table has been reported to Beijing. ”
"This ......" Gao Gonggong gasped, he never expected that Li Huaixin's statement to him would be like this.
If this is the case, then who would dare to stand up for the Tang family, what is the difference between looking for death. This is a big crime of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, which is enough to punish the nine clans.
Gao Gonggong laughed dryly and said, "Is this serious? ”
"Naturally, take it seriously!" Li Huaixin said with certainty.
"Then these corpses and ordnance, can you show them to our family?" Gao Gonggong said in a strange manner.
He had to at least make sure that was the case.
Li Huaixin arched his hand at him and said, "Don't hide it from your father-in-law, if you want to see it now, you won't see it here." ”
"How?" Gao Gonggong's face immediately sank.
In his opinion, if Li Huaixin didn't look at him, there would definitely be something greasy in it. See that he is not accused of arson and robbery.
Li Huaixin smiled again and said, "These ordnance and materials have been handed over by me to Lord Xiong, if my father-in-law wants to see it, he will have to ask Lord Xiong for it." ”
"You!" Hearing this, Gao Gong almost died of anger, and his eyes immediately glared at the boss.
"Father-in-law, what's wrong? In the end, this is also done according to the procedure. Li Huaixin said with a smile.
"It's nothing...... "Father-in-law Gao shook his head, hating the root of his teeth.
What kind of temper Xiong Tingbi is, Gao Gonggong has already seen it, and he is called Xiong Barbarian, which is not false at all. I went to him to ask for the corpse to see, isn't it idle to run over and ask for fun.
Although Gonggong Gao didn't take Li Huaixin seriously, it was because Li Huaixin was a military general, and the status of a military general was low. But Xiong Tingbi is the economic strategy of Liaodong, a member of the cultural management group, and is currently the highest official in Liaodong, controlling civil and military affairs.
The current situation is that more than 100 Jurchens have been killed, and if they want to report to the imperial court, if Gonggong Gao tosses, it is estimated that Xiong Tingbi will have to participate in it. It is not certain who will be unlucky at that time.
Gonggong Gao weighed for a moment, arched his hand at Li Huaixin without smiling, then stood up and said, "General Li, since this is the case, then our family will understand and leave." ”
"The last general will send Gonggong Gao." Li Huaixin said with a smile.
He sent Gao Gonggong out of the General Military Mansion, and Gao Gonggong gritted his teeth with hatred. Even if you Li Huaixin do things steadily, you don't need to be so arrogant, the Tang family has so much silver, after you copy it, you don't say that you will give it to Lao Tzu, this is too much to say! We'll see.
Gao Gonggong left in a sedan chair, and along the way, not to mention how big the anger was. In addition to scolding Li Huaixin, he also scolded Tang Zhen, you said that you traded with the Jurchens, you can't be careful, but Li Huaixin ran into it, you are really unlucky.
Back at the tax supervisor's yamen, Gao Gonggong suddenly remembered one thing, that is, Tang Zhen died, what should I do with the mine in Nanmen Mountain? It's one of its own cash cows, so you have to have a personal agent.
It is obviously unrealistic to let Tang Yuan take over, and now as long as Tang Yuan shows up, he will be unlucky.
Soon, Gonggong Gao thought of someone and said, "Come on, go and call Tan Wenhuan to me." ”
"Yes, father-in-law." The little eunuch immediately agreed.
Tan Wenhuan is a local businessman, and Gao Gonggong is a tax supervisor, so Tan Wenhuan naturally wants to be more stammered.
Gao Gonggong believes that Nanmen Mountain always has to be taken care of, and since Tang Zhen is dead, let's change it.
The little eunuch brought Tan Wenhuan over, and when Gonggong Gao told him about taking over the Nanmen Mountain Mine, Tan Wenhuan was very excited. In the mines, it was much more profitable than his fur and silk business.
Tan Wenhuan was grateful to Gao Gonggong and said that he would take over the mine tomorrow.
Early the next morning, Tan Wenhuan took more than 50 of his subordinates to the mine, preparing to take over.
This is a business that makes a lot of money, Tan Wenhuan is proud, sitting in the sedan chair and shaking his head.
Nanmen Mountain is not small, but the ore veins are all above the halfway up the mountain, and there are a few men guarding the mountain, and it is forbidden to go up the mountain casually.
Tan Wenhuan's people stopped at the foot of the mountain, he came out of the sedan chair, looked at the man who was enjoying the shade at the bottom of the mountain, stretched out his hand, and asked, "Where is your steward here?" Let him come and see me! ”
A man glanced at Tan Wenhuan disdainfully and said, "What are you doing?" ”
"My lord's name is Tan Wenhuan, what are you, dare to talk to our lord like this, do you want to die! I think the lord was ordered by my father-in-law to come and take over the mine, and asked your steward to come down and make the delivery! The housekeeper beside Tan Wenhuan didn't wait for the master to speak, so he shouted directly.
The Tan family and the Tang family are both high-ranking fathers-in-law, and they are both local bullies, but when the people of the Tan family encounter the people of the Tang family, they have to avoid three points and dare not provoke.
Now that he finally turned over the serf and sang, the butler's waist was straightened several times.
"You're here to take over Nanmen Mountain?" The man said coldly, and then looked Tan Wenhuan up and down.
"What are you looking at? I don't know Master Tan! Your hosts are dead, what are you arrogant about? Call your stewards down quickly! The butler exclaimed triumphantly.
"You ......" The man wanted to scold back, but a thin man beside him grabbed the man and muttered a few words in the man's ear.
The man nodded and said, "Then you wait, I'll go up and pass it on." ”
With that, he ran up the hill.
The housekeeper's nostrils were facing the sky, looking more arrogant than their master, he glanced at the other men, and said angrily: "I see if you don't want to do it, and when you see the new owner, you dare to look like this!" ”
