Inside the East Gate Compound.

The bronze whistle blew suddenly, and the 2,000 new officers and men quickly formed an offensive formation, and a single charge divided the more than 920 prisoners into three pieces.

Li Yuming personally led more than 50 elites, put down the wild wolf mask, and rushed into the dozens of terrified Aoshan guard captives with Tang knives in hand, and slaughtered them with knives without saying a word.

"Ahh

In the blink of an eye, flesh and blood flew and screams rang out to the sky.

Ma Deputy Qianhu's head hit the ground first, rolling a few times with his face facing the sky, and his round eyes showed a look of disbelief.

In a moment's time, 32 invincible officers and soldiers of the Aoshan Guards were in different places, and the heavy smell of blood came to their faces, and all the prisoners were frightened to death, scrambling to kneel on the ground, begging for mercy, and their timid pants were so frightened that they were wet.

Li Yuming, who was covered in blood, took the opportunity to ask who was the leader? At this time, where did the captives dare to have the slightest luck, rushing to confess, for fear of affecting themselves, it didn't take long to successfully find out more than ten people, escorted directly to the front yard on the high platform, and interrogated separately.

In the southern compound, the three Jiang family chiefs and the account office hiding among the tenants and coachmen were also found out one after another, and together with the six leaders of the green forest who came to sell illicit salt, they were all escorted to the front yard on the high platform.

With little effort, the frightened Ledger and another Treasurer revealed the extremely hidden treasury and the plate in the stockade like beans in a bamboo tube, and the 40-year-old Ledger Clerk whispered that he had something important to tell him, and asked to see the general who led the troops to break through the walled city.

The interrogating guards did not dare to slack off, and immediately reported to Zhu Daolin, and then brought the polite bookkeeper to Zhu Daolin alone.

When the tent man saw Zhu Daolin, who was full of righteousness, he put forward conditions and requests anxiously: "General, I am willing to tell me another manor where the Jiang family stores grain and property, and ask the general to release my wife, children and son-in-law's family." ”

Zhu Daolin calmly looked at the bookkeeper in front of him, whose body was shaking: "I am the general of Fengguo who was given the title by the emperor. The commander of the Jiangnan New Army is not a local warlord who kills innocents indiscriminately, let alone a lawless thief. ”

"The reason why I led my troops to suppress the Jiang family this time is because they have done too much evil, and if they don't kill them, they won't be enough to be angry with the people, and if they don't kill them, they will be sorry for the hundreds of victimized officers and soldiers in Fushan Thousand Households."

"What!?"

Mr. Ledger's eyes lit up: "You are General Zhu Daolin, the commander of the Jiangnan New Army who is the mighty world?" ”

Zhu Daolin waved his hand: "Don't dare to be." Say whatever you want. ”

"If the student says it, ask the general to protect the student's family and take refuge in the south." The bookkeeper boldly put forward his conditions again.

Zhu Daolin stared at Mr. Bookkeeper silently for a while, and saw that his body was limp and collapsed to the ground, so he nodded: "Yes, I will send your family to Fushan Institute first, and then go wherever you go, if you are willing to take your family to Yingzhou, you can not only get land and houses, but also enter the school as a teacher." ”

Mr. Bookkeeper couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He struggled to get up from the ground, and he was still struggling with whether he could continue to put forward conditions, he was unwilling to cross the ocean to Yingzhou from the bottom of his heart, but at this juncture, he was afraid that he would offend Zhu Daolin by inch, so he told all the extremely hidden manors of the Jiang family with a slight hesitation:

"That small manor is located in the southeast of the city 6 miles away from the temple mountain Niangniang Temple, enter the mountain gate to the left through the forest, there is a nunnery in front of the valley mouth, it is rumored that the abbot is a concubine of the Jiang family. The manor behind the nunnery is the Jiang family's large granary where grain is stored......"

"The students followed the third master of the Jiang family many times to escort the money for the purchase of sea salt from all over the country. Each time, he could not enter the nunnery, nor could he enter the manor in the valley, so he could only wait in the grass pavilion between the nunnery and the forest. ”

Zhu Daolin nodded slightly: "Xiao Zhe, you send this gentleman to bring his family out and take him to the front room to settle down temporarily." ”

"Yes!"

Xiao Zhe politely asked Mr. Bookkeeper to lead the way.

It didn't take long for the news that the new army had taken Jimo City. Zhu Daolin immediately ordered the recruits of the two battalions to escort the prisoners and transport all the sea salt, grain, horse feed, cattle and sheep back to the Fushan Station, while the remaining four battalion commanders continued to lead their troops to stay and wait for the troops to return again, and then transport the captured weapons, all kinds of wood, and farm tools back to the Fushan Station.

Everything is arranged. Zhu Daolin led the guards to escort a convoy loaded with more than 3,500 taels of gold and more than 465,000 taels of silver straight to Jimo City.

As soon as Zhu Daolin and his entourage arrived outside the south gate, Xu Wentao, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately stepped forward to report: "Everything is going well, the people in the city learned that the Jiang brothers were killed due to arrest, and after the shock, they were thunderous, and several other wealthy merchants were also willing to sell our army grain at a low price, but Jimo County made Zhou Jing very annoying, and blocked the gate of the county yahu's house, did not let us go in to check the situation of the Fushan military field, and threatened to sue you in front of the emperor." ”

Zhu Daolin smiled: "He is so angry, there must be a ghost in his heart, don't worry, I'll check it myself later, did the Jiang family send them away?" ”

"An hour ago, all 304 people of the Jiang clan were sent to Fushan, and a total of 3.7 million taels of gold ingots, sand gold and cash silver were copied, which frightened the subordinates and others, and now they are all concentrated in the main hall of the Jiang Mansion, waiting for you to come back and dispose of them."

"Another thing, we found more than a dozen letters and three contracts from the study of the Jiang family, and found that the Jiang family not only operates maritime trade all the year round, but is also one of the four major maritime merchants in Shandong, and also owns money houses and large shops selling seafood in Jinan and Qinghe, and colludes with several officials of the Yamen of the Shandong Political Envoy Department all the year round."

After Xu Wentao finished speaking, he wiped the beads of sweat from his head.

Zhu Daolin was very surprised: "I really didn't expect it, no wonder I am so rich, I hide it very deeply!" ”

"Well, this matter is very beneficial to us, I will write a chapter tonight, and send it to the emperor together with the collected evidence, I want to see what the local forces in Shandong can do to me!"

"By the way, there is something that must be done as soon as possible, in addition to buying a large amount of grain, and then buying a large number of horses and slaughtered white sheep and white pigs from Jimo merchants and people, and sending pig liver to the barracks to feed the soldiers."

"Also, strong mules that can pull carts, donkeys that can be used as meat, how many to buy, it doesn't matter if the price is high, in ten days we will go north to Dengzhou, there can be no shortage of horses, mules and meat."

"The consumption of more than 30,000 officers and soldiers, including the navy, is a huge number, and on the Dengzhou side, Shandong Governor Zhu Dadian and other officials will not give us enough food, grass, and meat."

"Yes! Zhou County's order must be solved as soon as possible, and I was worried that he would destroy the account books, so I sent a team of old soldiers there to watch him. Xu Wentao reminded.

Zhu Daolin turned behind him: "Yuming, hand over the convoy to General Xu, take the personal guards and follow me, go and copy all the family property of this greedy and shameless county order, and then send all the silver taels and letters to the emperor!" (To be continued.) )
