Chapter 221: Guo Mansion at the foot of the mountain, killing good and risking merit
Shanxi east of the north Zhili, out of the Wutai mountain area, go straight to the north Zhili Zhending Fuping County, Linxian sixty or seventy miles, the inner Great Wall pass is innumerable, just say that there are fifty or sixty soldiers, and set up Longquan Pass in the critical and dangerous places, divide the north and south five miles each to set up up and down two passes, stationed in the Shenwu right guard a thousand households do not mention.

Since Li Jing's rebellion, cholera Taiyuan Mansion, neighboring Fuzhou did not dare to slack off, and there were two guerrilla attackers under the command of the Baoding General Army, and one garrison led 1,200 people into the station, so that the army gathered, monitoring the civil unrest in the west day and night, and finally called that there were no chaotic people entering the country, and the defeated troops in various places gathered a lot.
Longquan Guanxi out of more than ten miles, there are merchants of all dynasties in order to avoid the oppression of the soldiers of the Great Wall Pass, deliberately found a trade road connecting the inside and outside of the Great Wall, decades down, to call a little popular, the development converges into a small village, specially for the passing businessmen to rest, the government is open to this, but also resigned.
To say that there is no oppression of the government, it is comfortable to this, at least there is no oppression by the officials who urge food, but in the most prosperous house built in the village, today's atmosphere is a little depressing, this is the mansion of the Guo family, which is a large family in the Zhending Mansion, the Guo family is a thousand hectares of fertile land, and the shops are not counted, so they should not live in such a poor and remote place.
But who called the current situation chaotic, people in various places are in turmoil, the Guo family's business in Shanxi is plummeting, I don't know how many shops and property have been confiscated by the beggar army without compensation, and the loss is at least no less than 20,000 or 30,000 taels of silver.
But who would have thought that the Ming Dynasty seemed to be strong, but in fact it was an empty shelf, in order to deal with the war in Liaodong and the civil unrest in various places, the apportionment to the peasants in various places was increased, especially in the north of the Yangtze River, natural disasters continued, and the people had already reached the edge of life and death.
But this year, I don't know whether it is affected by Li Jing's rebellion in Shanxi, or the disaster situation is more serious, Zhending Mansion, a heavily guarded place, even called a group of strongmen to make a rebellion, seeing Shanxi Li Jing self-proclaimed governor, it is even more advanced, directly pulling the banner marshal, gathering more than 10,000 people to attack the state and county, the place of chaos is the place of the Guo family's old house, this can not stay.
In addition, the trade road of Taiyuan Mansion in Shanxi Province was so broken, and the goods from the south could not be transported to the outside of the mouth for a while, Guo Xingwen saw that a lot of silver could be earned, and thought that he would seek wealth and danger, so he insisted on moving his family to this small town, relying on the Ming army of Longquan Pass, and constantly transporting goods to the north.
This is more than a month, I heard that the civil unrest has been extinguished, and I want to plan to go back these days, I don't want to pack up, and send some loyal servants back to clean up, suddenly there is a group of rout soldiers from the west in the village, this is said to be a village, in fact, there are more than a dozen families, and now the rebellion in Zhendingfu has been pacified, and those small families have long left, but the Guo family has not left.
This is going to cause trouble, the Guo family has a hundred and seventy or eighty nursing homes before, and some of the routs didn't look at it, but at this moment, most of the family's belongings were ordered to be transported away one after another, and they sent people to escort the goods to the north, of course, they all arranged some guards with them, and at this moment there are only a dozen or so people in the nursing home in this house, ready to escort the family members to leave at any time, and they were suddenly blocked by this group of routs, whether they advance or retreat!
Fortunately, Guo Xingwen had more knowledge of going south and north, so he hurriedly came out to play a round game, called for silver, arranged wine and meat, and finally sent them to settle outside the courtyard wall.
On a table of wine in the corner of the wall, those defeated soldiers were gobbling it up, and suddenly, a soldier who had just left the table came over and whispered, "General Banner, I just went out to Gong, and I sneaked to see this family, who was packing up, and there was a lot of silver in it, and two big carts were not loaded." ”
"What?" When Wang Guolin heard this, he immediately put down the wine glass that was about to be put into his mouth, and lowered his voice, "Do you see clearly?" ”
I can't help but be unmoved, you must know that he escaped by luck this time, but his relationship is gone, his father was killed by thieves, if he wants to take revenge, he has to climb to a higher position and bring more soldiers and horses, although he still has a few heads around him, but these credits cannot make him promoted.
If you don't do it, you have to be greedy, and it's good to be able to save your life, so as soon as he heard that this family has countless amounts of silver, he immediately shouted in his heart, this is a great opportunity for me to be promoted and make a fortune.
In his opinion, the Guo family is nothing more than a down-and-out family, otherwise they would not stay in this kind of poor country, as the so-called heaven does not take it, it will be chaotic, he thinks that today is the day when he soars, and he glanced behind him with a heartbeat.
He continued to lower his voice and said demagoguously, "This family, there are only a dozen or so nursing homes around the left, and they are definitely not our opponents, if they can suddenly burst out, they will beat him for a while, and they will definitely be caught, this gold and silver sea, our brothers will not have to worry about eating and drinking in the future, and they can live a life that others envy!" ”
"General Banner, if you do this, you won't call your head to ask for guilt, right?" A timid soldier looked left and right and came up.
Wang Guolin is almost crazy at the moment, ******** he wants to mix up the road to progress, if he hadn't met the Guo family, he would naturally think of other ways, but seeing that there is so much silver, there is no threat, and his face suddenly showed a fierce light, "I'm afraid that he will do something, with the silver in hand, sooner or later he will feed those officials, who will have trouble with the silver?" ”
As he spoke, he squinted his eyes behind him, and saw that someone under the big tree not far away was secretly looking here, and suddenly sneered, "Do you want to do it?!" ”
The soldier who was out of the court, at the moment, only had those white flowers of silver in his eyes, where did he care about the rest, "Why do we work hard to get a little silver every month, and call Shangguan to deduct, this family is hiding behind, and the damn wealth is so rich, Zongqi, I did it with you!" ”
"It's done!" The rest of the soldiers were also bewitched, killing good people in the army and taking risks are common things, robberies or something, they are commonplace, they do it, there is no pressure at all, at this moment, it is those nursing homes that make them embarrassed, but seeing that everyone is willing to do it, where is there any reason not to follow......
"Lord Captain, fifteen miles eastward is Longquan Pass, where thousands of officers and soldiers are stationed, if we rush in, I'm afraid it will cause misunderstanding!"
Chen Hong looked at the more than 200 soldiers behind him, and said angrily, "It's all here, I'm still afraid of a bird, catch up, and be sure to break the dog thief and the official dog who killed my brother into ten thousand pieces!" (To be continued.) )
