Chapter Fifty-Seven: Yunzhou Shakes
In the past few days, the two leaders of the Dulong Gang in Yunzhou City have been in and out of various yamen. The Dulong Gang suffered a catastrophe, and the second leader not only did not feel sad but was happy. Because from now on, he will be the boss of the Dulong Gang. Most of the diehards of the former gang leader Dulong died under the knife of others, and the rest all took refuge in the second master. The second boss mastered all the halls and businesses of the Dulong Gang, and arranged all his descendants in important positions. In the past few days, he has been busy going to various yamen to get in touch and seek refuge through the doors.
That night, the helm of the Dulong Gang was brightly lit. There were more than a dozen tables in the hall, and the banquets were full. The second master toasted from table to table, he was entertaining the heads of gangs and gangs in Yunzhou City. It can be said that tonight, the large and small city fox club rats in Yunzhou City gathered here to celebrate the second master of the family and the honor of being the leader.
After a round of toasting, the second master returned to his seat and made friends with several bosses at the same table with great satisfaction. At this moment, a masked man in a black cloak walked into the hall and headed straight for the main table. This person didn't squint all the way, and went straight to the second master.
"A certain family passed by here and learned that the second leader was promoted to the leader of the Dulong Gang. Now a certain family has given a generous gift to help, and asked the helper to smile. ”
"Hahaha, you're welcome. I don't know which way this brother is from, so sit down and drink. The second master smiled and stood up and motioned for the man to take a seat.
The man smiled and sent the gift box wrapped in red jokes in his hand to the second master. The second master took it with a smile and put it on the table to open it in public. This is a very face-saving thing, no matter how heavy the gift is, it means that people recognize your authority. The bosses at the same table as the second boss also stood up and looked at it.
"Ah, Boss. Who are you, who are you? ”
The second master only glanced at the gift box and pointed at the man and shouted for accountability. When everyone saw it, the faces of the two masters were both angry and frightened. It turned out that the gift box contained the head of Dulong, the former boss of the Dulong Gang.
"Hehe, I'm the one who wants your life."
The man said that, and suddenly rushed to the second master. There was only a click between the electric lights and flints. The second master stood in place, and after a while, a big human head rolled to the ground from his neck, and the body fell to the ground.
This sudden change startled everyone in the hall to leave their seats, and each drew his side-worn blade and stared at the man. But to their surprise, the boss was all slaughtered, and none of the members of the Dulong Gang appeared in the hall.
Bang. The doors and windows of the hall were kicked open. Countless men in black were aiming at everyone in the hall with powerful crossbows. Another wave of black-clad men with long knives rushed into the hall and slashed those who tried to resist to the ground with a few swords. The hall, which was still staggered just now, was instantly filled with a strong smell of blood.
"Don't panic, everyone, today we only kill the Dulong Gang, and have nothing to do with anyone else. But from now on, the territory of the Dulong Gang is mine. Do you have any comments? ”
In the face of bloody long knives, crossbow arrows that glow with cold light. These usually majestic bosses bowed their heads and remained silent.
"Good. One more thing for you. From now on, you must obey me. I'll send you a deputy helper, and his words will be my words. Who dares not to listen. Then ask him to be with Dulong. Everybody say no. ”
One of the bosses raised his head and just said, "Our Black Tiger Gang, ah~~~~~." ”
A long knife stabbed the boss out of his back, and the boss fell to the ground with a thud, kicking his leg and swallowing his breath.
"Hmph, did I let you speak? Talkative. Have you all seen it, this is the end of talking. What I say cannot be objected to, if you are willing to agree, if you are not willing, you must agree. Do you understand? ”
Several bosses didn't know whether to answer or not. Ahh~~~~~h There were three screams in succession, and three more bosses fell to the ground. The rest of the bosses. Hurriedly nodded and pretended again, and even explained clearly.
"Good. You remember: From now on, there will be only one gang in Yunzhou City. It's our Celestial Wolf Gang. I am your helper. You must listen to me, and those who listen to me have wine, meat, and money to spend. Those who do not listen to me also have wine, meat, and money to spend. But only once a year, I'll burn it for you. What do you think? Ben is merciful, huh? Hahahaha. ”
"The helper is merciful, the helper is wise, and I will only look forward to the helper in the future." The bosses understood that there was no room for negotiation in this matter today. Often floating in the rivers and lakes. Sooner or later, you will be stabbed. None of these people have survived until now and are not fuel-efficient lamps, and seeing the knife resting on their necks, where do they dare to resist, they hurriedly express their obedience one by one. Of course, there are also those who are not convinced, and secretly plan to regain face after going back. But the Sky Wolf Gang leader didn't give them any chance. For several days, there were murders in Yunzhou City every day. Several gangs were uprooted one after another, and the bodies of the gang bosses were hung high above the city tower. The people were secretly happy that those wicked people who did not do good deeds on a daily basis had finally been killed. But before he was happy for a few days, people who were even more evil than these wicked people appeared in the streets and alleys of Yunzhou City, shops and markets. Sky Wolf Gang, this new name is firmly remembered by the people of Yunzhou. The people secretly gave the Sky Wolf Gang an alias "Living Hades".
For these things, the Yunzhou government behaved very calmly. The officials and officials in the yamen turned a blind eye to the corpses that were transported out of the city in truckloads every day. They didn't dare to care, because if they asked, someone would come looking for them with a waist card. The three words on the waist card made them shudder, and those three words were "Snow Wolf Guard".
Yunzhou Thorn Shi sat in the study dejectedly, looking at a note in front of him in a daze. There were only two words on the note: "Resign". In addition to these two words, the note was stained with blood. Because the note was still wrapped in something, a young child's finger. It was the finger of the grandson of the stabbing history.
Yunzhou Assassin Shi belonged to the neutral faction of the court, and treated the imperial faction and the family faction with an attitude that no one should be offended. I don't want people to sit at home, but disaster comes from heaven. He knew he couldn't hide. Sighing in desperation, he spread out the paper, picked up the pen and began to write the recital of the old homecoming.
"Hmph, even if you know each other, let your dog life go for the time being."
A roof tile on the roof of the study was silently closed, and a man in black muttered a whisper before turning and disappearing into the night. The same scene was repeated in the mansions of the governor of Yunzhou, the historian, and the chief officials of the yamen.
"The history of the Yunzhou assassin should be killed, and the chief officials of the large and small yamen in Yunzhou should be killed. Hum. ”
Emperor Su Zheng roared angrily while walking around non-stop.
"Your Majesty. The history of Yunzhou Thorn has been written on the bones of beggars. The officials of all sizes in Yunzhou also sent them to the office, either asking to retreat and go to the office, or writing to ask for guilt. Your Majesty, Yunzhou Thorn Shi is old and mediocre. Officials and others are not diligent in the king's affairs. It's time to put things in order. Your Majesty might as well take this opportunity to hold Yunzhou in your hands. Lick suggested.
"That's very good. It's just that I don't know who can take over the position of Yunzhou Assassin? ”
"Mu Chun's gifts are upright and his ability is excellent. His ancestral home is Liaodong, and he was poor in his early years because of his poor family. Almost dropped out of school. It is thanks to His Majesty's financial support that we have achieved what we are today. Mu Chunli is grateful to His Majesty and loyal. It is just right to let Mu Chunli take over the position of Yunzhou Assassin. ”
"Oh? But is that Mu Tiegu who went out of Liaodong Yixue? Emperor Su Zheng thought for a moment and asked.
"That's the man."
"Yes, this man is indeed suitable. It's just that there are more officials replaced this time, how can other auxiliary officers be arranged?"
"Your Majesty might as well let Mu Chunli draw up a roster of auxiliary officials on his own. As far as the minister knows, although Mu Chunli has the name of iron bones, he is extremely nostalgic. Over the years, he has used his own money to fund many classmates from Liaodong Yixue. Mu Chunli did not forget His Majesty's kindness, and the funds for his classmates were all in the name of His Majesty, and this person could be described as His Majesty's minister. ”
"Hahaha. Good. Mu Chunli is very good. According to your policy, I ordered Mu Chunli to assassinate the history of Yunzhou, and asked him to choose a suitable person from among the students of Liaodong Yixue and go to Yunzhou with him to take office. Gao Ping, quickly pass Mu Chunli to see me. Oh, what does Sikong Aiqing think of Mu Chunli? ”
"Your Majesty is wise, and he knows people well. The minister also felt that Mu Chunli was very good. Sikong replied.
"Hahaha, that's good. By the way, the two Aiqing. In the case of the attack on the crown prince. That Niu Tianci and Wang Meng performed well and should be commended. And I guess Rong'er wants to pull the two of them to her side as a support. I think it's better to follow Rong'er's mind this time. ”
"Your Majesty's words are extremely true. The minister suggested that Niu Tianci enter the East Palace as the prince's attendant to accompany the prince. And so it goes. First, you can observe Niu Tianci's character and talent nearby. The second is to add another layer of security to the prince's safety. Snow Wolf Wei secretly reported that Niu Tianci was alert and had superb martial arts. It is very appropriate to be by the prince's side. As for Wang Meng, he can make up the rank of captain in the six rates of the East Palace to protect the safety of the prince. The two of them have a deep relationship with the prince, Niu Tianci is handsome, and Wang Meng can be described as a fierce general. In this way, there is Niu Tianci in the prince to give advice. Outside, the king charged fiercely. It can be described as both civil and military, both internal and external. After His Majesty reassures Niu Tianci and Wang Meng, the two can be sent to the army to hone their training. In this way, the military heart can be brought into the hands of His Majesty. ”
"Haha, the servant is thoughtful, I am up to you."
Rick Fuzhong. Mu Chunli walked into the study quickly, picked up his clothes and fell to the ground.
"Xiaguan Mu Chun saluted the servant and met Lord Sikong. Mu Chun thanked the two adults for their support. ”
"Oh, it's all your own family, don't be so polite, Lao Mu sit down quickly." Sikong Fu said and helped Mu Chunli up.
"Chunli, has the list ever been drawn up?" Rick asked.
"It's already been prepared, please take a look at the two seniors."
Mu Chunli took out the roster from his sleeve and handed it to Li Ke with both hands. Li Ke took it and looked at it carefully, ticking a little bit on it with a pen from time to time. A moment later, Li Ke handed the roster to Mu Chunli.
When Mu Chunli, Li Ke, and Sikong Fu were studying in their childhood, they all came from Liaodong Yixue. The Liaodong Yixue is a school specially set up by the kings of Liaodong in order to subsidize the students of the poor families in Liaodong. Liaodong Yixue has cultivated many grassroots officials for the Liaodong Royal Mansion and Liaodong Prefecture, and has also sent many qualified talents for the imperial court.
The students of Liaodong Yixue are known for their hard-working, solid foundation, and unity. Many students were admitted to several famous academies in Dayan for further study with their own efforts, and were successfully admitted to the Guozijian or admitted to the Jinshi to become officials in the court. Therefore, as long as it is a student from Liaodong Yixue, he will take care of his senior brothers and sisters in every way. As a result, a unique Liaodong faction was formed in Dayan Shilin. Moreover, with the accession of Emperor Suzheng to the throne and the emperor, the Liaodong faction became famous in Shilin, and its strength grew rapidly, approaching the leadership of King Yan.
"Just report it like this. Chunli has a great responsibility to go to Yunzhou, so you must be careful. The Snow Wolf Guard has swept away the local underground forces. Yunzhou officialdom is also facing a big change, and there can be no woman's kindness at this time. You must know that the troubled times use heavy codes, and we must quickly pacify the place here, and manage this second foundation for my Liaodong students, foolish brother is here to ask you. After Li Ke finished speaking, he stood up and bowed. Mu Chunli hurriedly wanted to stand up, but was held down by Sikong Fu.
Mu Chunli was moved in his heart, choked up and said: "The two senior brothers should also take care of themselves in the court, and the younger brother will definitely live up to the trust of the senior brother and strive for greater opportunities for the students of Liaodong." ”
Sikong Fu wiped his eyes on the side, and Li Ke's eyes were also red. He stroked Mu Chunli's back and said, "Back then, it was not easy for you and me to study, and how many children in the clan died on the road to study. And how many parents have died in the mouths of beasts for their children to study. When we first arrived in Liaodong, it was a cold winter, and the Yixue Gate was closed, and more than a dozen of us were crowded in the door hole to keep warm. By daybreak, half of the children had died of starvation. When I think back to that time, I feel broken. Now that I am a great man, I am a big step closer to our ideals. But the more this happens, the more cautious it becomes. Otherwise, one negligence will be in vain. If so, how can we be worthy of those deceased brothers and sisters, fathers and villagers? Chunli, Sikong and I encourage together. ”
"Follow my brother's teachings." Sikong Fu and Mu Chunli stood up and bowed.
Half a month later, Yunzhou officialdom changed blood. This time, Emperor Suzheng acted quickly, and the ministers in the court had not yet reacted, and the Yunzhou officialdom had been adjusted. After Mu Chunli arrived, he acted vigorously and resolutely, punished the traitors and eliminated the evil, and swept the holes in the pear court. It didn't take long for the weather in Yunzhou to be new, and the market gradually stabilized. The people felt that the terrible living Yama had also disappeared with the arrival of the new assassin. For this reason, the people of Yunzhou celebrated with the crown, and beat the gongs and drums to send the Wanmin umbrella into the Yunzhou Thorn History Mansion. At this point, Yunzhou, a transportation hub, is strategically firmly in the hands of Emperor Su Zheng and Li Ke and his group. (To be continued.) )
