Chapter 0247 - Smuggling of Population
Bian Ji arrived in Luoyang with a batch of goods and received a letter from Feng Qianhou, and then changed to a waterway, more than 20 cargo ships went to Zhengzhou to receive a batch of goods from Huaibei to the north, and at this time a subordinate handed a letter from Song Yaozhu in Yunzhou, saying that a group of people had been collected to be handed over to him.

Zhang Yue had already told him before this incident, Bian Ji was a little hesitant, this kind of black-box operation, smuggling people is risky, thinking that the goods at hand will also be sent to Hebei, so he decided to go to Yunzhou, sent his subordinates to send a letter to Zhang Yue, and led more than 40 large and small cargo ships to the north along the Yellow River.
The fleet arrived at the branch of Lanzhou, and this batch of goods would go north to the Daimyo's Mansion, and Bian Ji only took 200 subordinates to continue eastward to Yunzhou on a dozen cargo ships, and this afternoon the ship was anchored at the river beach wharf outside the city of Lu County.
Having dealt with the White Lotus Society for many years, Bian Ji knew the scope of these people's activities, and took a dozen subordinates into the city, first looking for an inn to live in, and then sending people to find slums, or monasteries, there were always those people in such places.
Sure enough, it was quickly contacted, and in the evening, Zhou Quanzhi came with a few subordinates to ask for a meeting, saying that the idle population had collected 1,000 people, and asked Bian Ji to lead the fleet to Yangliu Town, thirty miles west of Lu County, tomorrow evening to receive the population.
"Didn't you say five hundred people at a time? There are so many of you, and I don't have enough ships with me, so I'm afraid I'll have to wait a few more days. Bian Ji said slowly, a little puzzled in his heart, that Song Yaozhu didn't appear, this woman has been looking for an opportunity to take revenge, this time she came to Yunzhou, maybe she couldn't help but make a move.
"That's not easy to do, thousands of people have been in Yangliu Town for a long time, consuming food every day, so we can't afford to drag us like this, Bian Dongzhu ships are not enough to do, you can pay for rent, there are several boat companies in this Lu County, I know them all, I can introduce to Bian Dongzhu." Zhou Quanzhi smiled.
"Well, you can! Speaking of which, you haven't been in Yunzhou for a long time, how did you find these thousands of people? Bian Ji asked a little strangely.
"The proprietor said that the composition of these populations is complex, some are idle people, but more are slaves bought at cheap prices in the market, and only half of them are tenants or homeless people who cannot survive, but I guarantee that they are definitely young and middle-aged people, and there are also some women and children." Zhou Quanzhi swore frankly.
"Three days later, one hand will be handed over, and the other hand will be delivered, I will bring a part of it, and the rest of the grain you want will be transferred from Dizhou." Bian Ji has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and he is very sophisticated in playing a trick.
"What? Is this a joke? Zhou Quanzhi almost jumped up, and said very dissatisfied: "We will give as many people as you pay, and you can act cheaply." ”
"Hey, hey! I advise you to report to Mrs. Song and let her have an idea! You must know that this business is not my Bian someone's ......" Bian Ji said indifferently, in fact, he was suspicious in his heart, and he intuitively felt that this Song family would not give up.
"Oh well! Bian Dongzhu waits for good news! Zhou Quanzhi had no choice but to leave.
Out of the inn, Zhou Quanzhi took a carriage out of the city, returned to the Chengdong Manor, and went to the Zhuangzhong Mansion to return to Song Yaozhu. Song Yaozhu was very concerned about this matter, and was waiting for Zhou Quanzhi to come back, so she immediately met him.
"Madame! In the old man's opinion, Bian Ji is very alert, and the ambush plan is not feasible, at least not this time! Zhou Quanzhi persuaded as soon as he saw Song Yaozhu.
"Why? Why does Uncle Zhou grow the ambition of others? This opportunity is very rare......" Song Yaozhu said with some reluctance.
"Madame! Please listen to the old man's advice, our Northern Sect has this little incense left, and it has just moved to Yunzhou to gain a stable foothold, and Zhao Xiangzhu, a traitor, has not been cleaned up. Moreover, Bian Ji is now married to General Zhang, so it is really not appropriate for us to have another incident at this time. If Madame wants to take revenge, there will be a chance in the future, as long as he keeps an eye on it, he will always have a day to show his flaws. Zhou Quanzhi continued to explain.
"Uncle Zhou is right, the concubine is still too impatient, then you will be responsible for this matter!" Song Yaozhu sighed, she couldn't forget her husband Lei Wanjun's kindness to her before his death, and the painful roar when he was dying, which gradually became an obsession in her heart.
As long as you kill Bian Ji and let her husband look under Jiuquan, this is the last thing that can be done for him. As for the White Lotus Society, she has never been a true believer, and setting up another responsible sect master can be regarded as worthy of her late husband, and as for himself, he hasn't thought about it, he has been drifting like this, and he can't think too much.
As soon as Bian Ji saw Zhou Quanzhi leaving, he immediately sent two of his followers to follow him separately, and reported that Zhou Quanzhi lived in a manor in Wuli in the east of the city, where many people from the White Lotus Society gathered.
Unexpectedly, Bian Ji is not surprised, thinking about it, he feels that this city is not safe, there are only a dozen guards around him, and there is a batch of goods for trading on the boat moored at the riverside ferry outside the city, if it is stolen, it will be embarrassing, so he packed his luggage and planned to leave the city while it was still early, but he didn't want Zhou Quanzhi to come back at this time.
Then things went smoothly according to his intentions, with some of the leased ships to make do, a thousand people were transported to the Lanzhou Cargo Store to settle down, in order to avoid accidents, Bian Ji could only guard here, and sent his subordinates to escort these people, and went to the northwest Huizhou with the cargo ship in batches, and it was not a problem to finish the transportation in the year. At the same time, a fast horse was sent to Tokyo to inform Zhang Yue.
This day is an auspicious day for the zodiac, Zhang Yue went to the guard division as usual to hang around, and then went home early. The family was ready, and fifteen carts draped in red silk were full of bride price, and they were lined up in the front yard, waiting for him to return. This time, Mrs. Yang placed a gift list, Bian Lou was responsible for purchasing, and then sent it to the house, Li Duoshou was busy before and after.
"General, hurry up! Don't miss the auspicious time! Li Duoshou urged, now that Feng Qianhou is not there, he is mostly responsible for the affairs around Zhang Yue, and he is the commander and staff of the soldiers, but it is much easier to use.
"Wait a moment, change your clothes and come!" Zhang Yue replied with a smile and stepped into the atrium, his father Zhang Yonghe changed into a brand-new fine linen round-necked green robe, wearing a black gauze veil, looking much more energetic, drinking tea and waiting in the hall, and the second brother Zhang Cheng accompanied him on the side.
"Dad has to go, Erlang can not go, study hard at home!" Zhang Yue said hello, and kept walking straight to the back house.
People are in good spirits at happy events, the eldest child is married, Zhang Yonghe has one less burden, his heart is extremely relaxed, he turned his head to look at his younger son, this kid is still honest, he can't teach it, Zhang Yonghe looked angry, and said: "You kid's head is rigid, look at your brother...... The young and weak crown are already the generals of the DPRK, and they eat the same rice, so why do they raise two kinds of people? ”
"Brother has read a lot and is good at martial arts, he is still a ...... of rebirth" Zhang Cheng pouted and said unconvinced, as for what it means to cross over, he doesn't understand, anyway, the people who have crossed are very powerful, this is what Brother said.
"What do you mean by crossing?" Zhang Yonghe was also dumbfounded, puzzled! Father and son stared wide-eyed. (To be continued.) )
