Chapter 155: Preemptive strike

Wu Jin pulled a chair and sat down, and the shopkeeper Yang lowered his hand in front of him, not only because Wu Jin was the king of Heiliang and had a noble status, but more importantly, Wu Jin was holding the black phoenix gold medal of Chen Anbang, the head of the Phoenix Society, which was regarded as the head of the meeting.

"May I ask what position does Shopkeeper Yang hold in the Phoenix Club?"

"Returning to His Royal Highness, his surname is indeed Yang, his name is Yang Honghai, and he is the second-level commander of the Phoenix Society."

Although the Phoenix Society is a pirate, they have a strict military organization, ordinary soldiers are called Haiwei, and officers are divided into four levels: generals, generals, commanders and sentinels, of which the commanders and sentinels have three levels each, and the generals above are the leaders and two deputy leaders, and this Yang Honghai's second-level commander is equivalent to the rank of Guoyi Lieutenant of the Imperial Military Government.

Wu Jin nodded and smiled: "It turned out to be Commander Yang, I don't know how many people are under Commander Yang?" I mean Jiangning County. ”

Yang Honghai still said respectfully: "There are a total of sixty-four people in the entire Jiangning Mansion, of which Jiangning County is the foundation, even I have thirty people, there are fourteen people in the restaurant alone, and the others are scattered in a pharmacy and a dart bureau. ”

"Very good, I have something I want to ask Shopkeeper Yang to help, I wonder if Shopkeeper Yang is willing?"

Yang Honghai clenched his fists and said solemnly: "Your Highness showed the Black Phoenix Gold Medal, just like the Lord of the Meeting, please ask Your Highness to do it, even if we try our best." ”

"You don't have to fight hard."

Wu Jin smiled slightly, "As long as we spread a few rumors to Jiangning County after dawn, you must spread a few rumors to Jiangning County, and everyone will know about it, but you must not expose yourself." ”

......... Leaving the Donghai Restaurant, Wu Jin borrowed a horse and went out of the North City alone, passing through the Zhuangyuan Lane next to the North City, Wu Jin saw a black gate at the end of the alley, which should be the prince's intelligence station in Jiangning Mansion.

He did not enter the alley, he was alone, and the man who went to the prince was not in any way a wise decision, he whipped his horse and galloped towards the city gate.

The city gate was closed at this time, but he had Zhou Xin's silver medal, and he went out of the city smoothly, galloping all the way, and after a quarter of an hour, he came to the Meihuawei military camp, and the officer on duty tonight was Zhang Long, he didn't expect Wujin to come at night, and hurriedly ordered someone to prepare the bedding, but Wujin waved his hand to stop him.

"There's no need to prepare, I'll explain a few things first, and I'll rush to the Navy Mansion immediately."

"General, please!"

Wu Jin took a sip of tea, sorted out his thoughts, and said slowly: "Tomorrow morning, the whole army of Meihuawei will be dispatched to surround Donglai Qianzhuang and Baifu Qianzhuang on Jianye Street. ”

Zhang Long hurriedly said: "This afternoon, the first batch of 1,000 new troops entered the camp, do you want to bring them together?" ”

Wu Jin thought for a while and said: "Their plum blossom guard uniforms haven't arrived yet, so you don't need to bring them, tell Zheng Yannian, just say it's my order, let him lead a thousand recruits to garrison the barracks, if there are embroidered guards or other troops to storm the barracks tomorrow, I will be killed!" ”

"Humble duty understood! Where will the general be tomorrow? ”

"I may be on the ship tomorrow morning, but I will rush back in the afternoon, and I may temporarily leave Jiangning in the evening to go to Weiyang County, in a word, everything is subject to my orders, without my orders, strictly guard the barracks."

"Obedience!"

Wu Jin explained a few more words, then got up and left the room, walked to the door, he remembered something again, turned around and ordered: "Divide another two hundred people to guard my mansion, except for Miss Qi, everyone else refuses to visit." ”

.......... In a closed room, Qi Wei was stripped naked, his hands and feet were shackled, and he hung upside down in the air, two shirtless men slammed into him with oil-soaked leather whips, only to hear a heart-rending scream, and a bloody whip mark appeared on Qi Wei's body, and his body had been beaten to the ground.

A middle-aged man lifted his chin with a leather whip and said coldly, "Why bother? If you tell the formula, you won't have to suffer anymore, and Qi Ruifu will also be yours in the future, didn't we agree, as long as Qi Dafu Qianzhuang? The other shops don't move, I'll give you another chance, say it, we'll let you go, if you don't say it again, we'll use castration, at that time, even if you regret it, you can't be a man, say it or not! ”

Qi Wei said with a faint breath: "Didn't I already give it to you?" ”

The middle-aged man slapped him in the face, "You fucking gave a fake, do you think you can fool us?" ”

Qi Wei sneered, "Then do you think you can fool me?" ”

The middle-aged man was furious and shouted, "Call me!" ”

The leather whip rained down on Qi Wei again, and the middle-aged man snorted hatefully, turned around and went out, he walked to the backyard and knocked on the door of a room.

"Lord Liu, can you come in?"

"Wait a minute!"

There was an angry voice inside, followed by a woman's laughter, half a ring, the light turned on, and Liu Sijun opened the door and walked out.

"Did he recruit it?"

"That kid's mouth is very hard, and he won't say it, or we will really castrate?"

Liu Sijun raised his head and thought for a while: "It's better not to move, castrate him, he will be discouraged, let alone speak." ”

"Then scare and scare him."

Liu Sijun still shook his head, "This person is very fine, if he sees through us to scare him, he will not say, it is best to find his children to threaten, he may be afraid." ”

At this moment, a big man ran over in a panic, "My lord, that.... The one surnamed Qi, he couldn't stand the beating, and he committed suicide by chewing his tongue. ”

"What!"

Liu Sijun was stunned, Qi Wei actually committed suicide, the secret of Qi Dafu's silver ticket asked who was going, this was the task given to him by the King of Qi, he slapped the middle-aged man suddenly, and scolded: "There are more than enough things to do, you are bad for me, how can I explain to the King of Qi?" ”

The middle-aged man's face turned pale with fright, lowered his head, and said in a trembling voice: "The subordinates want to find the craftsmen of the Qi family, get together, and make up the recipe." ”

"Idiot! It's Qi Wei who makes the ingredients himself, and those craftsmen are just working, who do you ask? ”

The middle-aged man didn't dare to say anything, and after a while, Liu Sijun said viciously: "Let's put this matter aside for now, and tomorrow we will act according to the original plan, use up a hundred silver tickets, and then spread the news that the Qi family was copied and fake silver tickets were flooded." ”

Liu Sijun looked at the heavy night sky and said with a cruel smile: "I really want to take a look at the grand occasion when Qi Dafu Qianzhuang was squeezed by the people." ”

....... After dawn the next day, all kinds of news suddenly spread in the streets and alleys of Jiangning County, including the news that Qi Ruifu was about to be raided and bankrupt, and the news that King Qi launched a coup d'état and was arrested, and the Donglai Commercial Bank would be completely closed, and the big proprietor of the Baifu Commercial Bank was involved in the coup of King Qi, and the Baifu Qianzhuang in the capital had been confiscated by Xiuyiwei and Meihuawei.

For a time, all kinds of news that is difficult to distinguish between true and false spread wildly in Jiangning County, making people panic, and no one knows whether it is true or false, and at this time, Qi Dafu's fake silver tickets also began to spread, and there was even news that more than half of Qi Dafu's 100 taels of silver tickets were fake.

This news touched the hearts of many businessmen, and everyone took out their silver tickets and ran to Qi Dafu's three money houses in Jiangning County to ask for identification.

But soon, another shocking news spread, the Baifu Money Village and Donglai Money Village located on Jianye Street, the main road in Jiangning County, were surrounded by the Meihua Guard, for unknown reasons.

This news is strong and shocking, it confirms the true surname of the rumors from one side, if King Qi did not have an accident, how could Meihuawei surround Donglai Qianzhuang, if Baifu Qianzhuang was not involved in the coup of King Qi, how could Meihuawei surround Baifu Qianzhuang.

Almost half of the people in the city saw a group of plum blossom guards running murderously down the streets, surrounding the two money houses.

Seeing is believing, and suddenly hundreds of thousands of ordinary people and businessmen frantically flocked to the north and south of the city with their deposit slips, where there were two unsurrounded Baifu money houses and Donglai money banks, and the four money banks were frantically run, they were almost overwhelmed by the emotional crowd, and within an hour, the two money houses in the south of the city were first run out, and they had to close their stores, posting a notice that there was no money to be taken today.

This announcement made the anxious people boil, and the angry tens of thousands of people began to storm the bank, but in an instant, the gates of the two money houses were pushed one after another, and the people swarmed in and began to smash the items in the bank....... A cruel war without gunpowder smoke was the first to start in Jiangning County, and the smashing of Qianzhuang incident in Nancheng finally alarmed the yamen of Jiangning County and Jiangning Prefecture.

When the smashing incident broke out, Yin Yuyaojiang and Shao Yin Shenyuan of Jiangning Mansion came to the Yamen of the Dadu Governor's Mansion in a panic in a sedan chair.

The government is different from the county government, the government is a higher-level yamen, and there is no actual jurisdiction over the city, so there is almost no government service, only dozens of civilian officials, and the government is not like the county government, the county government has the position of county Sima, can control a small number of township soldiers, the Sima function of the government is taken away by the metropolitan governor's office, and the metropolitan governor's office has 3,000 directly subordinate troops, so it is also in charge of the Sima function that originally belonged to the government office, so that the government is in an embarrassing situation where there are no soldiers available.

Therefore, Uncle Shen Guo must also let his people serve as the governor of the Dadu Governor's Mansion, which is also based on this consideration.

Yu Yaojiang and Shen Yuan got off the sedan chair and hurried up the steps, but the guards on the steps stopped them, "Two adults, please stay!" ”

"We want to see the history of the perimeter, there are very important things."

The guard soldier looked embarrassed, "Zhou Chang Shi rushed to Weiyang County as soon as it was dawn, and I heard that there was a very serious run on the money bank over there. ”

Yu Yaojiang and Shen Yuan were both stunned for a moment, "This.... What's going on? ’

"Is Gao Xu in the army?" Shen Yuan asked anxiously again.

"Gao went to the Jiangbei military camp to select soldiers for the embroidered clothes guard and the plum blossom guard, and he didn't come back yesterday."

"Is there a general who can transfer troops?" Yu Yaojiang asked anxiously.

"Two adults, I'm sorry, only Zhou Changshi can mobilize the army directly under the Governor's Mansion, and Gao Joins the army can't, if you want to transfer the army of the Military Mansion, you must have an order from the Ministry of War."

Yu Yaojiang and Shen Yuan looked at each other, what should I do?

"This damn King of Qi!" Yu Yaojiang couldn't help but scold, if someone died, he would be the governor and would be the main responsibility.

Shen Yuan was quite calm, he thought about it and said: "Otherwise, I will go to the county government to find Qi Wu to send officials to maintain order, and the adults will go to Meihuawei and ask them to maintain order, if they are unwilling, then ask them to withdraw from the county seat first, and don't add to the chaos." ”
