Chapter Twenty-Three: The Crisis of the Salt Gang
Gao Yu's words Sha Shiyan gasped, he settled down and said: "The day after tomorrow is the day to worship the salt god Niangniang, before the sacrifice is tomorrow, a total of more than 20 local branch presidents and salt gang elders will come here to meet to elect the deputy gang leader. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Zo Ning said: "Childe is right, our second task is to start it when you have a meeting. ”
Sha Shiyan stopped shuddering, seeing that this time the imperial court was determined to wash the salt gang in blood.
Gao Yu pondered for a moment and suddenly looked at Sha Shiyan: "Brother Sha, let me ask you again, do you really refuse to let the Salt Gang conform to the imperial court?" ”
Sha Shiyan said firmly: "Of course not!" It is my father's last wish to be a big salt gang, and it is also the intention of my brothers. I don't know what the future holds, but it's impossible to give away the Salt Gang from me. ”
Gao Yu said coldly: "And then? Are you going to let these people start their lives again? ”
What did he say, Sha Shiyan asked, Sha Shiyan stayed there, and suddenly felt that he had no choice. Maybe Sha Shiyan has been very confident for a long time, the Salt Gang has grown and grown, and the officials and blacks are like fish in water, and suddenly the Salt Gang has no prospects, and everyone wants to live a life of escape like the bandit and grass Kou, which makes him unacceptable all of a sudden. He tried to calm his emotions, and seeing Gao Yu drinking tea unhurriedly, Sha Shiyan suddenly stood up and bowed to Gao Yushen: "Sha is incompetent, and I hope that Gao Gongzi will teach you." If Mr. Gao can help the Salt Gang survive this catastrophe safely, I am willing to give up the position of the leader of the Salt Gang. ”
This position is indeed attractive to Gao Yu at the moment, but even if Sha Shiyan wants to, he may not be able to mobilize the people of the Salt Gang.
"Helping the Salt Gang is also helping ourselves!"
Zo Ning stood up and said, "Gao Gongzi is right, helping the salt gang is helping ourselves, you give the order!" ”
Gao Yu secretly calculated that Zoning was good; Zhang Chang is a well-known general, with rich battlefield experience and skills; The name becomes the power of the intronic; Hu Tieling, a magical soft rope, known as the ghost rope; There is also the new Zhang Bao, although I don't know how good he is, but he is also famous for sending Iron King Kong; Coupled with himself, he touched the Songwen Sword on his waist, the Xingyi Sword passed on by the master was not learned in vain Plus ten years of practice, there should be no problem in dealing with one or two masters. There is also Ma Sheng, who can communicate with horses, and he also has some martial arts.
He suddenly thought of an important question: "Zo Ning, you are receiving a double order, on the surface it is me, but secretly you want to clear the salt gang, so who will give the order to clear the salt gang?" ”
A few looked at each other, and Zo Ning said, "We haven't told you about this because we don't know either." ”
"Don't know?" Sha Shiyan was a little surprised.
"Yes!" Several people from the Liang army said in unison.
Hu Tieling explained: "Our other instructions were conveyed by another person, and now we only know that when the Salt Gang meets, we will receive a signal, and then give a clear order!" ”
Before the words fell, they heard a firework outside the courtyard, which was like the sound of a signal flare: "It's coming!" Zonin rushed out the door first.
In the southwest of Yanzhou City, a bright light. Zo Ning said: "Childe, we have to go over and receive the order!" ”
Gao Yu ordered: "Go quickly, return quickly, pay attention to safety" After he finished speaking, the four of them split up and headed towards the southwest of the city.
Sitting back down, several people were not in the mood to eat, only Shi Qian was still eating heartlessly, Gao Yu said: "Xiao Qian, you send Mr. Chen and his son to Helan Yuan early tomorrow morning to find Lord Liang to take shelter for a while." ”
"Why are you fighting and letting me give it away?! Besides, what about the two of them? Shi Qian looked at Zhang Chang and Zhang Bao a little and said unhappily.
Gao Yu's face sank, and Shi Qian reluctantly lowered his head. Chen Kang took Chen Yong to clean up his things, and Shi Qian also went to rest, and only Gao Yu, Sha Shiyan, Zhang Chang and Zhang Bao were left in the room.
After about a stick of incense, I suddenly heard the sound of the courtyard door, Zuo Ning had already turned over and entered the courtyard to open the courtyard door, and walked at the end of Wei Mingcheng Si to see that no one was following, and then closed the courtyard door, and several people entered the room.
"Childe, you deduced correctly, we all found the order, the salt gang ambushed during the meeting, and not a single one of them was let go!"
"Have you seen anyone else from the Liang Army?" Gao Yu asked.
"Yes, there was another chief, but he covered his face. Listen to him when the time comes! ”
Ma Sheng took two sips of wine and said, "Childe, the chief already suspects that you don't help the Queen Mother, he asked us about the six people who are traveling together, why only four people came!" Fortunately, we discussed it before, and unanimously said that the two of you called you away and didn't know what to do, and we said we didn't know what to ask, so we came back smoothly. ”
"Cheng Si, tomorrow you will be responsible for protecting Sha Gongzi; Zo Ning, you pay attention to suspicious people, once you find it, report it to me in time, and others will obey the order. Tighten your guard tonight, and if I have something, I'll listen to Zhang Chang's orders! ”
"Listen to me?" Zhang Chang was a little surprised, after all, he had just seen Gao Yu today.
Gao Yu nodded, thinking that back then, the privy envoy of Western Xia was also the general of Western Xia, and it was no problem to command the three armies, not to mention that there were less than ten people.
As soon as the morning dawned, Chen Kang and the others set off, and the others increased their vigilance in their respective divisions. Chen Kang came back not long after leaving, and Gao Yu saw him looking panicked and hurriedly asked what was wrong. Chen Kang said: "Childe, I don't know what's wrong with Yanzhou City today, just don't go in or out, even if you go out of the city, you will be carefully checked, I am worried that so many bonds on my body will arouse suspicion, so I quickly let Shi Qian send Chen Yong away, and I will inform you by the way when I come back." ”
It's troublesome now, I saw that I did come for the salt gang today. Even if they are lucky enough to escape this catastrophe today, they will not be able to get out of the city.
Gao Yu looked at Chen Kang, and suddenly turned his head and asked Sha Shiyan: "Is there a place to sell fireworks in Yanzhou City?" ”
This must be there, Sha Shiyan heard that Gao Yu wanted to buy fireworks, so he immediately asked his personal servant to take Chen Kang to buy them. Gao Yu instructed Chen Kang: "Buy as much as you want, Mr. Chen, you know!" ”
Looking at the shining light in Gao Yu's eyes, Chen Kang was in a trance again for a moment, who else could this be next to the king? Besides, I have been walking around for many years, and I have never revealed my skills in making explosives. The time was tight and he couldn't afford to think about it, so he hurriedly went out to purchase, and in an hour's effort, almost half of all the places that sold fireworks in Yanzhou were purchased by him.
"Brother Sha, no matter how many people come from the Salt Gang today, don't put any of them in the backyard, besides, your Salt Gang will be correct, you just need to listen to what I do......" Gao Yu commanded in Sha Shiyan's ear.
In the afternoon, the people of the Salt Gang came one after another, and there were twenty or thirty presidents and elders of the Salt Gang from all over the country, and they were full of people gathered in the courtyard. The tables, chairs, and food sent by the restaurant arranged in advance by the public works envoy have also been set down, and everyone is seated, just like an open-air banquet.
The door of the hall was closed, Sha Shiyan and Gao Yu were in the room, Gao Yu dragged his chin, carefully following his plan to see if there were any mistakes, and Sha Shiyan paced anxiously in the room. Ma Sheng pushed the door and walked in: "Childe, Mr. Chen is ready." ”
"Good! Now it's time for you to act, and before it gets dark, make sure you have as many horses as you can in town. ”
"No problem, look at me!" He turned and walked out of the room.
Sha Shiyan stopped: "Brother Gao Xian, what kind of strange people are around you?" How can you arrange as many horses as possible? ”
Gao Yu said: "Look at it! ”
The door was pushed open again, and Wu Tong walked in: "Sha Gongzi, it's not early, everyone has already arrived!" ”
"Good!" Sha Shiyan said and walked outside the door, Gao Yu followed and stood behind him, and Wei Mingchengsi stood under the porch next to the door, looking around at the surrounding movements. Chen Kang walked out of the inner courtyard, holding a package as if nothing had happened, and he was followed by Hu Tieling and Zhang Bao.
"Brother Xian, what are you tossing about?"
"You'll find out later!"
When the people in the courtyard saw Sha Shiyan coming out, they all applauded, and Sha Shiyan signaled everyone to be quiet. "Everyone, tomorrow is a big day to worship the salt god Niangniang, it's rare for everyone to gather together today, I have something important to tell you."
There was a bang at the door of the courtyard, the housekeeper opened the door, and a team of officers and soldiers walked in, applauded the first person and said, "Is it a big day, why didn't Sha Gongzi inform me?!" ”
At this time, Zhang Changzheng came out of the inner courtyard, as soon as he looked up and saw someone coming, he flashed back to the inner courtyard.
Sha Shiyan was stunned when he saw the comer, and then smiled: "Salt helps everyone and brothers get together, how dare you bother to reward the general." ”
Xianba laughed: "Haha, of course, I have an indissoluble bond with the Salt Gang, and I heard that the deputy gang leader will be elected today, of course I want to congratulate me." Why, don't you start yet? ”
"Childe, it's him!" Wei Mingcheng Si whispered in Gao Yu's ear.
Gao Yu nodded, thinking that he had guessed that this leader would appear today, he said to Sha Shiyan: "Sha Gongzi, who is this general, you can introduce it to everyone first!" ”
Xianba glanced at Gao Yu, and thought to himself that this person was standing next to Sha Shiyan, could it be the newly elected deputy gang leader? He smiled and nodded at Gao Yu.
Sha Shiyan said: "This is the current Privy Deputy Envoy Tough Salt and Iron Envoy General Xiangba. ”
He didn't say that it was okay, but when he said this, many people in the Salt Gang were not respectful, and they were waiting for the reward angrily, and the atmosphere was suddenly a little deadlocked.
Sha Shiyan naturally understands the reason, but he naturally has his own troubles, and now that he has the power in his hands, it is absolutely impossible for this relationship not to move. Seeing that the older elders of the Salt Gang were very hostile to Xianba, Xiangba smiled coldly: "Sha Gongzi, what does this mean, don't you Salt Gang welcome me here?" I'm here with a great gift! ”
