Chapter 21: Thieves

After Jin Chan defeated Wu Jiuteng, Yue Su led Xing Ying into the ring, called Li Zhong up, and announced in public that Jin Chan and Li Zhong were the heads of the six doors.

Because it was won by an open and honest competition, this also convinced the catchers of the six doors, and the big guys shouted loudly to congratulate.

Xing Ying asked people to take the head-catcher costumes of the six doors and handed them over to Jin Chan and Li Zhong, from today on, the two of them will be the headcatchers of the six doors.

Both of them were born in the green forest, they used to roam the rivers and lakes, and they had heard the name of the six doors for a long time, and they never dreamed that they would one day become the head catcher of the six doors. Both of them were extremely excited, with emotion on their faces.

The next step is naturally the inauguration ceremony of the head catcher, this ceremony is very simple, the two go to change into the clothes of the head catcher, and the Xingying gives them a roster of their subordinates to catch fast, and then calls the catcher who belongs to the two of them to come forward to see.

After the ceremony was completed, Zhou Meng, Wu Jiuteng, Zheng Shisan, and Wang Yuanhua were called to the ring. The four of them didn't know what they meant, so they walked up in wonder, came to Deyue Su, and knelt down on one knee to salute, "See your lord." ”

Yue Su smiled slightly, raised his hand to get them up, and then said: "The four of you performed in the ring, the main hall is very satisfied, and now there is an errand I want you to do, I don't know if you are willing?" ”

"At your command!" What Lord Shangshu confessed, who dared not obey, the adult was polite, and spoke as if he was discussing, but everyone knew it and could not refuse.

Yue Su nodded with satisfaction and said, "Jin Chan and Li Zhong are the head catchers and personal followers of the subordinates of the headquarters hall, and the two of them are now serving as the head catchers of the six doors, and the errands of the two need to be replaced." Wang Yuanhua, Tuesday Meng, the headquarters intends to transfer you to Shuntian Mansion as the head catcher, you don't know what you two want? ”

Although the catch of the six doors is much more majestic than that of other yamen, but after all, it is still fast, if you say that you go to the county government to catch the head, it is a bit of a loss of identity, but if you are the head catcher of Shuntianfu, it is to carry it. Especially now, whether it is the Yamen of the Criminal Department, or the Shuntian Mansion and the Six Gates, they are all under the jurisdiction of Lord Yue, and wherever they are transferred, they are not all following Lord Yue.

Seeing that Lord Yue had the heart to help, the fool didn't obey, and the two immediately bowed down and replied, "Thank you, Lord for your help!" ”

"Very good, I'll go back to Shuntian Mansion with the headquarters later, and the headquarters will explain what you are responsible for." After speaking, Yue Su looked at Wu Jiuteng and Zheng Shisan, and said: "There is no personal attendant around the headquarters now, you two are willing to serve the headquarters hall, grievances, and act as attendants." ”

Being a personal follower is no worse than being a head catcher, especially when it is the personal follower of Lord Shangshu, the seven-grade official of the prime minister's family, the personal follower of Lord Shangshu and the prince and the prince, I am afraid that it is not under the seventh grade. Moreover, Yue Su belongs to the rising period, and the future of the future is unlimited, and mixing with him is not much stronger than being a catcher in the six doors. The two didn't even hesitate, and immediately bowed down and said, "Thank you, for your support!" ”

Li Zhong and Jin Chan successfully entered the six doors, and as soon as they entered the door, they had a certain prestige, and Yue Su was very satisfied. Now that he has received four good players, Zhou Meng, Wu Jiuteng, Zheng Shisan, and Wang Yuanhua, Yue Su also plans to redistribute the work of his subordinates.

After a few polite words with Xing Ying, Yue Su led the crowd back to Shuntian Mansion, arrived at the Houya, transferred all the servants in the mansion, and began to redivide.

Yin Zhu was promoted to the head of the Shuntian Mansion, Tie Qiu was the head of the Ma Kuai team, and Li Haoquan, Zhang Wei, Wu Jiuteng, and Tuesday Meng were the team leaders. Among them, Tuesday is the training work of the fierce master to arrest fast and errand soldiers. Tong Zhou was transferred to the chief arrester in the lobby of the Criminal Department, and Wang Shun, Li Chen, and Zhao Jing followed Tong Zhou to the Criminal Department to take up his post and was promoted to the head of the team.

Don't look at the criminal department has a chief arrester, but Yue Su is still in charge of those, he will be sealed in the Shuntian Mansion, and as soon as he arrives at the court, he will directly transfer the previous post. There are so many errands in the Criminal Department, where can I transfer you?

Tong Xuan heard that Yin Zhu had topped his own Shuntian Mansion chief catcher, and he was still a little puzzled, thinking that when he was doing it in the governor's yamen, the adults thought he was slow, and now when he heard that he was promoted to the criminal department as the chief catcher, he was so happy that he almost didn't jump up. What kind of place is the criminal department, which is equivalent to the highest criminal yamen organization, and there is no difference between being the chief arrester there and being the chief arrester in the six gates, and it can be regarded as the highest level of head arrest.

Zhang Wei, Wang Shun, Li Chen, and Zhao Jing were all promoted this time, and three of them went to the Criminal Department as team leaders.

"Stall, if this matter is known to the Governor or Lord Tian, we won't all have to lose our heads. ”

On the official road leading to Baoding Mansion, there are eleven men driving seven mule carts on the way. These eleven men are a bit of a figure at first glance, because except for the seven chariot drivers, the other four are all riding horses, and they are also leading seven horses, which are obviously the seven chariot men. It's just that only two of the seven cars have goods on them.

"Nonsense, don't I know yet. But these seven carts of silk goods, worth nearly 40,000 taels of silver, are all burned, and it is a pity. We have burned five cars, which can be regarded as an explanation to the above, and the two cars left behind are also worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, enough for us to eat and drink for a few years. Didn't you see that I had already sent the other people, let's hurry into the city, and as soon as the goods are sold, we will rush back to Beijing, and we don't know it, as far as we people know, what can happen? ”

"The head of the stall is right, if you vomit the fat in your mouth, how can you be worthy of yourself. Besides, no one can find the difference between selling something and destroying it. If we brothers don't say it, it's not all over in the end. Another man said.

His words resonated with everyone, and the others unanimously said that the meat in the mouth could not be spit out, so much silver was enough for everyone to earn for many years.

Since it is called the stall head, it must be someone from the East Factory. In fact, these eleven people are the people of Dongchang, and the leader is named Ma Guangyi, who is the head of Dongchang, that is, the meaning of the captain, this time he was ordered to come out and pretend to be the Li family to rob the silk goods of Hongci Satin Village, according to Tian Ergeng's instructions, after succeeding, the body was buried in a secluded place, and then found another secluded place, and the silk goods were also burned, which was considered to be a ruin of the corpse.

Working in the East Factory, there are not a lot of money, and the big guys usually rely on eating and taking cards from prisoners, extorting money, and getting some pocket money. However, most of the heads are all led by the superiors, and the people below are just eating some leftovers. Seeing seven carts of silk goods, worth nearly 40,000 taels, just burned like this, who doesn't feel distressed, it's silver. So, Ma Guangyi came up with an idea, first went to find a deserted countryside, unloaded the corpse, and then divided the troops into two routes, leaving seventy people responsible for burying the corpse, and ten other henchmen, saying that they would find a secluded place to destroy the silk goods. Then the big guys converge in Daxing County.

He is the supreme leader of this gang, who dares to say more than half a word. After parting ways, Ma Guangyi really took his henchmen to destroy the silk goods, but he didn't burn them all, leaving two cars, after all, he didn't dare to buy all the things, so easy to cause trouble.

Bazhou is relatively close to Baoding Mansion, more than a dozen people are hurrying in the starry night, and at dawn, they are almost outside Baoding City. This is also because the mule cart is too slow, and if you were riding a horse, you would have arrived a long time ago.

More than a dozen people drove into the city, first calling five men with empty cars to find mules and horses to sell the car, and he took the others to find the silk village.

Soon, I met a small satin village, called Jixiang Satin Village. Ma Guangyi walked in, and as soon as he entered the door, he took out the panache of the East Factory, and shouted at the guy: "Is your shopkeeper here?" ”

When the guy saw that this master was full of style, there were horses and carts outside, and he knew that there was a character from the background, so he hurriedly asked with a smile: "This master, I don't know what you have to do with our shopkeeper, he is drinking tea inside." ”

"I have a batch of high-quality silk goods here, ask your shopkeeper if you want it, if you want it, as long as the price is right, I will sell it here." Ma Guangyi said with a grin.

"Okay, sir, wait a minute." The man answered, and immediately ran to the back, and without much effort, an old man in his fifties walked out.

The guy followed aside, saw Ma Guangyi, and introduced: "The shopkeeper, this is the gentleman who sells silk goods." ”

The shopkeeper glanced at Ma Guangyi, and he didn't look like a businessman, but he still asked with a smile: "Dare to ask Mr. Zun's name, I don't know where I came from, and how many silk goods I want to sell." ”

"Under the surname Zhao, he has always traveled south to north, and some time ago he said that he received some silk goods from the south of the Yangtze River and sold them in the north. Today, I passed through Baoding and wanted to see if there were any buyers who knew the goods. Ma Guangyi said with a grin.

"It turned out to be Boss Zhao, although I just sent someone to Jiangnan to collect silk goods not long ago, if your silk is of the highest quality, I don't mind charging more. I don't know where the goods are, can I let the trumpet check it. The shopkeeper said.

"It's natural, the goods are right outside the door, and I'll let people carry in a pack." After Ma Guangyi finished speaking, he walked to the door and asked his subordinates to unload the goods.

Dongchang Fanzi, with natural hands and feet, quickly unloaded a bag and carried it into the store. Then the outer sack was opened, and a layer of furoshi was wrapped inside, and on the top of the furoshi, a large bucket was embroidered. Ma Guangyi also saw it, and thought to himself that after the goods were sold, this burden skin would definitely not be left behind.

Fanzi untied the burden again, revealing silk inside.

"Shopkeeper, check it. It's all good work. Ma Guangyi said loudly.

The shopkeeper's first two steps, without touching it, can be seen to be the best lake silk. The price of this package of lake silk is not cheap, and these two cars are worth tens of thousands of taels of silver. And it is also transported to the north in this season, which is even more valuable. However, the shopkeeper still touched it with his hand and said: "This guest officer, you are the best lake silk, plus this season, it is already quite popular, but the trumpet can't be received, please find another home." ”

This shopkeeper is not given in vain, first from Ma Guangyi's appearance, it can be seen that he is not a businessman. From this silk goods, another layer of clues can be seen. At this time, the best lake silk can be transported, and if there is no buyer in the early days, who will do it. Also, the silk in Huzhou is not something that can be collected, especially this kind of goods, it is estimated that they have already been wrapped by those powerful big satin villages, and other traders don't want to get involved. Isn't it wrong for you, a businessman who has traveled from south to north, to receive such silk and to find a buyer now? Ten of the ** was robbed.
