The ambush soldiers left behind by Lu Haoshan were carefully selected elite soldiers, who could not only stand the test in terms of loyalty, but also experienced in battle.

It can be called a massacre, under the planning of Zhao Gongchang, a total of 338 people including the Fan family and the coachman, none of them escaped the net, and all of them were bombarded.

After counting the number of people, Zhao Gongchang immediately ordered the corpses to be wiped out, all the corpses were transported to the pit prepared in advance and buried collectively, the traces of the fight were buried in the ground, and the food, weapons, and medicines were also remodeled, and the marks of the Fan family were removed.

On the night of March 28, under the witness of the broker, the core children of the Yuci Zhai family purchased a batch of military supplies from the mysterious person, because these are goods that do not see the light, and the price is easy to say, only seventy percent of the market price, and the whole transaction is very smooth.

Soon, Zhai Tang, the head of the Yuci Zhai family, received a report from the shopkeeper of the ticket number, and someone withdrew money from the ticket number many times, and took out more than 50,000 taels of silver in one day.

However, Zhai Tang ignored another important information: on the same day, another big businessman in Shanxi, the golden jade shop owned by the Tian family, had a booming business, and the golden Buddha that cost as much as eight hundred taels alone sold as many as five statues in one day

"What, there's no news of a caravan yet?" In Jiexiu's Fan family's mansion, Fan Yongdou glared at his opponent and yelled, because of his anger. There were green tendons on his forehead.

"Master, the villain has sent someone to look for him several times, and he has confirmed it again and again with General Tian, confirming that the caravan has not yet arrived in Shouyang." His subordinates trembled and responded.

This batch of materials, although in the name of transporting grain for the imperial court, but most of the materials were ready to be transported to Houjin for sale, last year Houjin hit the capital, plundered and returned, plundered a large number of gold and silver goods, in order to prepare for the next wave of attack. Houjin needs to raise a large number of war preparation materials, this is a good time to make money, Fan Yongdou can spend a lot of thought in order to prepare this batch of materials, but he didn't expect to wait for the news of the caravan's disappearance, no matter how good the cultivation is, he will be angry on the spot.

This is not only related to money and silver, but also related to integrity, which has been informed of Houjin, and Houjin has also sent people to respond outside the customs. If something happens, it will be a serious blow to your reputation.

"Rubbish!" Fan Yongdou kicked his men to the ground, and said angrily: "More than 100 cars, more than 300 living people. If you don't see it, you won't see it, what else am I raising you for? ”

"Sir, in fact, there is one thing that villains don't know whether to say or not." The subordinate said with some hesitation.

"Say!"

The subordinate said cautiously: "Now it is certain that the caravan has lost contact on the road from Taiyuan Mansion to Shou County. According to reliable sources, at the moment when we lost contact with the caravan, Yuci Zhai's family ate a large amount of food and weapons. Won't this be"

Zhai Tang?

Fan Yongdou was secretly taken aback in his heart, and first thought in his heart that it was impossible, everyone was in the same boat, if the ship sank, it would not be good for anyone, and the relationship on weekdays was not bad, but now the trade with Houjin is a profitable business, everyone wants to get a piece of the pie, several people are harmonious on the surface, and they are also commensurate with brothers, but they are secretly competing, always want to share more benefits, money and silver, who will be too much?

It's not good to say that he secretly stumbled on himself, but fortunately, those officials in Houjin were good at asking for merit and rewards, so Zhai Tang had long coveted his status in Houjin, and once said that he wanted to replace himself, could it be that this was a challenge to himself?

Thinking of this, Fan Yongdou's face became a little hideous, but he quickly calmed down and said lightly: "Check, no matter how much it costs, check it out for me." ”

Dare to touch your own goods, it's really impatient, whether it's the Zhai family or other people, if you don't get this field back, everyone in Shanxi will think that the Jiexiu Fan family is easy to bully.

"Yes, sir."

Some people are sad and some people laugh, when Fan Yongdou was worried about the caravan that had lost contact, for fear that his position would be unstable, Lu Haoshan looked at the goods with a smile in the camp outside Meng County.

On the table, several golden Buddhas are laid out, and they are heavy in their hands, in addition, yellow gold bars, white pearls, warm jade and colorful gems, which are dazzling, Zhao Gongchang withdrew cash from the Zhai family's ticket number, and exchanged gold and silver for these expensive and easy-to-cash goods to avoid bringing back a large amount of gold and silver, in Lu Haoshan's words, this is called money laundering.

"Instructor Zhao is really amazing, he can bring back so much money in one trip, and he can make a fortune now." Sun Xiong looked at the gold and silver goods, and his eyes lit up.

"Where" Zhao Gongchang pretended to be modest and said: "These are all the merits of adults, we just do what adults say." ”

Li Dingguo said with some curiosity: "Instructor Zhao, why don't you come back with cash and silver, and if you come back with these things, won't you sell them again?" That's the trouble. ”

Zhao Gongchang explained: "This is the adult's clever plan, like those ticket numbers to withdraw silver, they are all marked, with a large amount of cash is not convenient, with the Fan family's goods in the Zhai family cash, and then use the Zhai family's cash money to buy in the Tian family's industry, then let them doubt each other, dog eats dog, isn't this better?" ”

It turns out that this is the case, making these black-hearted Jin merchants suspicious of each other, this trick is absolutely amazing.

Dashan said with some worry: "My lord, this time the Fan family is in the name of sending food to the imperial court, will the Fan family report to the official?" ”

"No" Lu Haoshan said calmly: "Nominally, it is to send grain, but in fact, he knows what he is doing, if the imperial court intervenes, as soon as they find out that they are smuggling weapons, they will not have enough to cut off a hundred heads, and they will be targeted by corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and it will cost a lot of silver to send them, if they attract the attention of Jinyiwei and be intervened by Jinyiwei, it is estimated that they will not want to see them die, so they will only solve it in their own way." ”

After speaking, Lu Haoshan said with a sneer: "Besides, our soldiers from the Wenchong Thousand Households Office have left the center of right and wrong early and have been stationed in Meng County, without evidence and no certificate, who can wronged us." ”

The ambush soldiers stayed quietly, and after completing the task, Zhao Gongchang and others also sneaked back in batches, and others were suspicious, but they couldn't find evidence.

Tang Qiang stretched out his thumb and said, "My lord, this trick is really high for blaming others." ”

Lu Haoshan shook his head and said: "The plan is good, and it must be implemented in place, and now the official is curious, Gongchang, how did you use to gain the trust of the Yuci Zhai family?" These profiteers, all as cunning as foxes, are not easy to gain his trust and eat a large number of supplies. ”

"Broker" Zhao Gongchang said with a mysterious face: "I found a broker who specializes in making a living." ”

"Oh, what's the deal about? It is not a simple character to make the Yuci Zhai family trust so much. ”

Zhao Gongchang smiled, and said with a bit of pride on his face: "This broker is called Mei Degui, and he is an idle second ancestor, but he is better than a second housekeeper in the palace, and a sister who is married to the deputy chief soldier of Shanxi as a concubine, plus this kid has a wide range of friends and eloquence, and he lives by being a broker on weekdays. Gain the trust of the Zhai family. ”

Lu Haoshan said with some curiosity: "This Mei Degui is so easy to settle? ”

"It's not easy to settle, at first this guy refused, but" Zhao Gongchang said with a sneer: "I sent someone to arrest him, forced him to take a small pill, and then controlled his wife, concubine and son, and he didn't listen to me obediently." ”

It turns out that this is the case, Lu Haoshan nodded, this Zhao Gongchang is still quite reliable, leave things to him, no matter how difficult things are, he can always give himself a satisfactory answer.

As for how to deal with the broker named Mei Degui in the end, Lu Haoshan didn't ask in detail, he believed that Zhao Gongchang would deal with this problem.

"Yes, brothers have worked hard," Lu Haoshan said boldly: "This time, the official wants to give you a great credit, and everyone will be rewarded after they go back." ”

"Master Xie." In the envy of the brothers, Zhao Gongchang hurriedly thanked loudly.

For his subordinates, Lu Haoshan has never been stingy, and he will definitely not be soft when he says that he will reward him heavily, this operation is not difficult, and Zhao Gongchang can be regarded as a beautiful difference.

Lu Haoshan looked at it for a while, asked people to take down these gold and silver goods, and the group discussed the situation in person while drinking tea and eating snacks.

"My lord, we've been stationed here for a few days, and the brothers are asking when we're leaving?" Li Dingguo asked cautiously.

Sun Xiong said on the side: "Yes, my lord, the brothers' injuries have long been healed, and they are waiting to make contributions." ”

It has been more than four months since we set off in November last year, and if we don't count this calculation Fan Yongdou, the soldiers of the Wenchong Department have only fought two battles, one is to exterminate the king of the troubled world, and the other is to encounter the old return, two battles and two victories, it can be said that the morale is high, but due to various reasons, Lu Haoshan and his subordinates have been in the "rear", and there are really not many opportunities to fight.

Li Dingguo has already asked for battle many times on behalf of his soldiers. (To be continued......)
