Chapter 139: The alarm is coming
A few days later, Liu Wenzheng got the news from several aspects, behind the Meng family was a military general in the north, the specific situation is unknown, but just this news made Liu Wenzheng sweat immediately.
The proud soldiers and fierce generals of the Ming Dynasty are all in the nine sides of the north, when the Liao town chief soldier Li Chengliang and his son Li Rusong, Li Rubai and other Li families are semi-independent warlords in Liaodong, they use the silver allocated by the imperial court and the silver money obtained from their own smuggling and business to raise 8,000 strong families, and the combat power can be described as the top in the Ming Dynasty, even the imperial court has to coax and let the Li family.
There are also a lot of other such generals, most of whom are fierce, and have always dominated the border trade, smuggling horses, furs, ginseng, timber and other items, accumulating strong families, and being ruthless.
The Meng family surrendered to this person, which shows that its power is far above the Meng family, and it is also above the people in Yangzhou, otherwise the Meng family would never be so fearless.
Liu Wenzheng is not afraid of the suppression of the officials, but he is a vulgar martial artist, and the civil officials in the officialdom will not give them much face, and they will go into battle shirtless as their minions, but what about the fate of the Huang family, cutting off people's financial routes is like killing their parents, and they can't use any means.
Liu Wenzheng scolded Huang Mingyuan, Luo Donghui, Nima, look at who you provoked, you really deserved to give away your own net worth and life, and it was good to die.
The problem is that if you implicate Hon-sama, of course you deserve to die. Liu Wenzheng was anxious for a while, he understood that the other party would definitely find him, but it was unknown whether he was seeking revenge or negotiating cooperation.
In the past few days, Liu Wenzheng had no intention of dealing with housework, and complained at home, which was originally a heart disease, but in the end, he was slightly ill and rested in bed for a few days.
On this day, Liu Wenzheng's health was slightly better, the housekeeper came to report, and Luo Donghui and Meng Guangshan came to visit. Liu Wenzheng finally settled down in his heart, this is to make peace, it will never be wrong, otherwise it would not be Meng Guangshan and Luo Donghui who came together, it must be that the two have negotiated some conditions to converge.
"Lord Liu, the villain's visit to the adults is for the affairs of the Huang family in Yangzhou," after greeting each other, Meng Guangshan said respectfully, "The Huang family has suffered misfortune today, and we and other Yangzhou businessmen are greatly saddened. Meng Guangshan was as respectful as ever.
"Yes, my lord, we are all sad that rabbits and foxes have died, and our hearts are sad, the end of the Huang family today is too miserable." Luo Donghui echoed next to him.
"Don't worry, the government will arrest the murderer and give you an explanation in Yangzhou." Liu Wenzheng said with a straight face, he was very satisfied with Meng Guangshan's respectfulness as always, this is also a sensible person, and now he has the upper hand, but there is no trace of success.
"Lord Liu, the Huang family is not in charge now, the salt business is chaotic, the relationship is the prosperity of Yangzhou's salt industry, the villains intend to share the worries of the adults, contact the Huang family's salt industry, straighten out the Yangzhou salt industry sales, I don't know what the adults mean......" Meng Guangshan asked with a smile, and presented a letter in his hand.
"Well, this is related to the salt industry of the imperial court, and it must be considered in the long run," Liu Wenzheng ordered his servants, but his mouth was delaying. He scolded in his heart, he still sympathized with the Huang family, and now he wants to win the share of the Huang family, he is really a greedy person.
"It is precisely that the Huang family has suffered misfortune, the people of Yangzhou are uncertain, and the adults have to weigh it." Luo Donghui beat the side drum on the side.
After the two said goodbye and left, Liu Wenzheng took out 50,000 taels of silver from the envelope and the deed of a three-entry house in the east of the city.
Liu Wenzheng thought about it for a long time, gritted his teeth and admitted, he knew that this position was a fat difference, I don't know how many people were staring, it was impossible for him to sit down often, and he would not take a little benefit in the position, but there would be no such good thing in the future, as for the Huang family, it was not that he Liu was unjust, who let the principal of the Huang family not be there. Moreover, his interests in Liu Wenzheng have not been damaged, but he has just changed his partner.
Du Li traveled a few days in a row, the prosperity of Yangzhou let Du Li know the intention of the adults to cooperate with the Meng family here, the development of the army is inseparable from a large amount of money, after all, plunder is not a long-term solution, and borrowing the Meng family to gain a foothold in Yangzhou is the foundation for the development of the army.
In Du Li's view, the endless flow of ships on the canal from north to south is the flowing Milky Way, and even a small collection of the captives is enough.
At night, after entering the Sanjin mansion bought by Jiang Zai, Du Li sat in the middle under the dim candlelight, while Jiang Zai sat aside.
"My lord, these reserve personnel are still waiting in various houses." Jiang Zai, who was less than thirty and quite strong, said in a low voice.
"Well, today the Meng family and the Luo family have almost talked with the imperial history, wait a few days, and after the matter is completed, I will return to Shidao." Du Li turned to Jiang Zai and smiled, "Old Jiang, this time the matter was done neatly, I will ask the adults for credit." ”
"This is all the whole training of adults, I just knew how to fight and kill at the beginning." Jiang Zai smiled and arched his hand.
"Well, it's not me," Du Li hurriedly raised his hand to stop it, "It's my lord, I and the others were all pulled out by the adult, and we all practiced under the guidance of the adult in Shidao." This must be remembered. ”
"Yes, my subordinates know." Jiang Zai hurriedly saluted.
Du Li looked at Jiang Zai again, until Jiang Zai bowed again, then he withdrew his gaze, he now has a lot of secret deeds and great authority, but all these foundations are built on the absolute trust of Lord Zhao, without Lord Zhao's trust, he Du Li is nothing, therefore, in the Military Intelligence Division, he is the most taboo to form gangs, and he has always talked about Lord Zhao Lie Zhao.
There was a soft knock on the door outside, short but forceful.
Jiang Zai got up and walked out, and after a while, Jiang Zai walked in with a letter.
As soon as Du Li saw this letter, he couldn't help but be stunned, because there were two red feathers tied to it, and it was a second-level police signal.
Under the auspices of Zhao Lie, the communications between the Military Intelligence Department and the Internal Security Department have four levels, and in general, they are all level one. And some tricky ones are listed as second-level, very serious ones are listed as third-level, and those related to the life and death of Zhao Lie and the Broken Army are listed as fourth-level.
This time, Du Li saw the first time that the warning signal of the military intelligence department above the first level was issued, and it happened during his absence in Shidao, so it can be seen that it is very likely that something big happened in Shidao.
Du Li did not hesitate, hurriedly got up, took the letter from Jiang Zai's hand, opened it, and saw that there was only one line on it, "Return quickly." Dogs. ”
The dog is his deputy Wang Bi's trumpet, except for him, no one knows, Du Li came to Yangzhou, and Wang Bi is the one who is sitting at home, and it seems that Wang Bi can't be the master.
"Jiang Zai immediately understood, tomorrow the four teams will return to Shidao with me, you take care of the affairs here first, I don't think there is anything serious." Du Li immediately decided, since the situation in Yangzhou has been stable, and there is a warning signal at home, he can't delay, he must return immediately, just in case, after all, the adults are not at home now, and Shidao is now the foundation, and there is no room for loss.
"Don't worry, my lord, I don't think Liu Yushi will make any more trouble, he doesn't have the courage yet." Jiang Zai pursed his lips, "It's just that my lord, I, Jiang Zai, have a deep enmity with Jiannu, and I always have nothing to do in Yangzhou, which is not on the border with Jiannu, and I am really aggrieved." ”
"Okay, don't talk about this in the future," Du Li interrupted Jiang Zai's words, "Yangzhou and Dengzhou are second only to Shidao, Yangzhou is the money and food of my broken army, and it is the lifeblood of my broken army, I put you here because of your ability, do you know." ”
"I see, my subordinates have been taught." Jiang Zai bowed.
"As for Jiannu, I promise you today that I will let you have a day of revenge in the future." Du Li looked at Jiang Zai.
"Master Xie is successful, and his subordinates will do their best in Yangzhou." Jiang Zai arched his hand.
Two days later, Meng Guangshan and Luo Donghui were accused, and Liu Wenzheng and Liu were summoned.
