Chapter 382: Dark Means
That night, the wind was rising, and the dim moonlight was faintly appearing. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In Yang Jingtang's mansion study, Lao Yan Da Ma Jindao was in the upper position, and Yang Jingtang was standing respectfully on the side, he didn't even dare to sit down.
The rebellious identity has already bent his waist, and even the cousin of the military department may not be able to save his life, not to mention that the current controller of Dengzhou is Zhao Lie, who has various grudges with him.
Since Zhao Lie captured Dengzhou, his entire family has been under house arrest, and everyone is allowed to enter and leave until this person comes indoors tonight.
Lao Yan came here to complete the task given to him by Du Li, which is very simple, that is, to squeeze the rich Yang family, and he can't cheapen this dog.
"Lord Yang, this time is different from the past, even the cousin of the Yang family in the military department of the capital can't tell you anything, but if Lord Zhao, who is in charge of the military affairs of Dengzhou, says in a letter that Lord Yang has made special contributions in the recovery of Dengzhou, and he will give some face to the imperial court, and your brother can take the opportunity to exert force." Lao Yan persuaded with a smile.
When he came, Du Li confessed that Yang Jingtang might not be able to give in easily, this is a master who does not see rabbits and does not scatter eagles, and then it can be said that Lord Zhao can write a book to exonerate him, and Yang Jingtang knows what to do.
"Lord Yan, if Commander Zhao can make the letter, there is no problem, the imperial court will definitely agree, after all, Lord Zhao has made a special contribution to pacifying the 100,000 rebels in Dengzhou, but," Yang Jingtang stopped to look at Lao Yan, and hesitated, "In the past, the Yang family offended the Zhao family, this. . . , can you let Yang meet Lord Zhao to ask for guilt. ”
Lao Yan glanced at Yang Jingtang, "Lord Yang, you are now a guilty person. Meet Lord Zhao. Do you think it's appropriate. ”
Yang Jingtang sweated on his forehead. His two laugh marks are now deeper, and he has been living like a year for more than half a year, Kong Youde Geng Zhongming forced him to rebel, otherwise he would destroy his whole family.
He couldn't bear it, he was afraid of death, so he had to allow it, even so, his family was also squeezed by Kong Youde for 100,000 taels of silver, and Liao Cheng was even destroyed by Li Jiucheng. is to covet the money of Liao Cheng's family.
This time Zhao Lie recovered Dengzhou, he had a hunch that his family would not have good fruits to eat, and it was so.
"My lord, it's not that Yang is stingy, what Lord Fang said asked Yang to sell all the granges in Denglai to these people, Yang can do it, but can Lord Zhao stand out for the Yang family regardless of old grievances, this... Yang Jingtang struggled. He has now tasted the feeling of crushing others with his status in the past.
"This Lord Yang can rest assured that some small things about the two families in the past have passed. Of course, Lord Zhao will not mind, but Lord Zhao hopes that Lord Yang can repair the book to Lord Yang in the capital, and he should have a few more kind words when praising his merits, as long as this matter is done, Lord Yang can come and go freely. Lao Yan said with a smile.
Damn old thief, if it weren't for a good cousin of the military department in the capital, I would have used good words with you to force you to sell with a knife and gun.
"This is easy to say, this is easy to say, Yang will definitely write a lot of words, but can you keep a Zhuangzi for Yang to retire, this time Yang knows that it is inevitable to lose his official position and return to his hometown." Yang Jingtang said tentatively.
"Hehe, Lord Yang Jingtang, the money in your family is enough for your family's expenses, as for Zhuangzi, it is better to give it away, this is also to show your heart to Lord Zhao, otherwise how can Lord Zhao write a book to exonerate you." Lao Yan's face sank.
Lao Yan said this, Yang Jingtang was a lot more relieved, because if Lao Yan easily agreed, it made Lao Yang Hu wonder if Zhao Lie knew, and Lao Yan was not allowed to explain that Zhao Lie had spoken on this matter, so what Lao Yan said didn't count.
But thinking of the loss of tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, which has been accumulated by the Yang family for generations, and once lost in his hands, this taste is not to mention.
"It seems that Lord Yang still hasn't figured it out, if Lord Yang is convicted, all these acres of family property will be confiscated, and the family will be sent away, and then it will be seen whether Lord Yang, who has lost both people and money, is still willing or not." Lao Yan sneered and got up and walked away.
"Lord Yan stays, everything is easy to discuss." Yang Jingtang hurriedly pleaded, ignoring any face at this time.
Lao Yan continued to walk towards the door, ignoring Yang Jingtang.
"Yang, Yang agreed." Yang Jingtang gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly.
"That's it, as long as Lord Yang is here, with the help of Lord Yang in the capital, it won't be too difficult to revive the family business." Lao Yan stopped and smiled.
Hmph, you provoked Lord Zhao, now it's just a ruin to avoid disasters is already Lord Zhao's magnanimity, if I do, I will let your family ruin.
Yang Jingtang sighed dejectedly, leaving a few old tears.
Lao Yan handed over a lot of Grange matters with Yang Jingtang, and discussed the matter of writing to Lord Yang in the capital, so Shi Shiran left the Yang family and returned to Shuicheng.
In an inconspicuous mansion in Shuicheng, Lao Yan explained to Du Li what he had gained.
"This Yang Jingtang is also old and faint, if the adults don't let him speak, the money and food of the Yang family Zhuangzi will rush into the official treasury, and I don't know if those adults are cheaper, and now it is just a disaster to avoid disasters, and the family is protected, what can't be seen." Lao Yan reported the things one by one, and said with emotion.
"Who said that Lord Zhao said that he would speak for him and save his life." Du Li said coldly.
"Well, it's not what Lord Du said today... Lao Yan was dumbfounded, he didn't expect Du Li to say this.
Oh, it turns out that Lord Zhao doesn't know at all, this is you, Lord Du, who tricked me.
"You must know that Lord Zhao is kind-hearted and can't bear to do some things, but I must do my best as subordinates to eliminate the characters that are not conducive to Lord Zhao's great cause one by one." Du Li looked at Lao Yan with sharp eyes.
"Yes, yes, Lao Yan knows, knows." Lao Yan stumbled.
"Well, tell me whether Yang Jingtang still resents Lord Zhao if he gets out of trouble, and whether he colludes with his cousin to do something unfavorable to Lord Zhao." Du Li induced one by one.
"This is inevitable," Lao Yan Xindao was robbed of more than a dozen granges by the enemy, and Yang Jingtang was of course even more resentful of Lord Zhao, "Yang Jingtang will even send a message to Lord Yang in the capital. ”
Since Lord Du has such an attitude, of course Lao Yan has to follow Du Li's words, and besides, he believes that Yang Jingtang's official eunuch will not be arrested like this in his life, and if he doesn't get it, he will make some movements, and now Lord Zhao is in control of Dengzhou, such as the arrival of other court lords. For example, the imperial army that is about to arrive now or the new governor of Denglai.
If Yang Jingtang asks everywhere. Slander Lord Zhao. Then it will be a real trouble.
"Well, you know. The Yang family will be handed over to you to deal with, for example, the whole family went into the water, and the fire was not very good and the family was killed, well, it is also a pity, but it is also the Denglai family. "Du Liti is a little strict.
Lao Yan looked at Du Li dumbfounded, and he had to do this together.
"Hmm. Why, there are difficulties. Du Li saw that Lao Yan was speechless, and said in a deep voice.
"Don't dare, don't dare. The subordinates must do it, and they must do it. Lao Yan hurriedly responded.
"It's just that Lord Yang in the capital will definitely not give up." Lao Yan asked.
"Hehe, from now on, Lord Zhao still cares about the little soldier, even if the new governor of Denglai comes, he has to be respectful to the adult."
Lao Yan is at a lower level, and he doesn't know what is going on here. Du Li knew that Lord Zhao was trying to control Denglai's military affairs this time, so he even dared to turn his face with the imperial court. One Langzhong, hum, it's really not enough to see.
Lao Yan suddenly realized, yes, now that Lord Zhao's great achievement is still approved by the Ministry of War, now it is in the eyes of the whole world, how dare the court not reward it.
What he thinks is different from what Du Li thinks, but it doesn't delay him.
"The subordinates obey the order and will definitely get things done, it seems that Lord Yang has self-immolated without words and shame."
"Besides, I heard that Prince Kong Youde also has children in his family, and I don't know if he will be entangled in old grievances when he becomes an adult, and it is very difficult for adults." Du Li looked at the letter in his hand and said.
"My subordinates will do it properly." Lao Yan's body trembled, and he hurriedly bowed down.
"Well, Lao Yan, you are very good," Du Li smiled, "You have to know, Lord Zhao is the day I am waiting for, if Lord Zhao has something, you and I will have to end up with Yang Jingtang, do you know?" ”
"Subordinates understand, understand." Lao Yan took a deep look.
"Okay, your subordinates have suffered a lot of losses this time, I will make up for it for you tomorrow, and I hope to hear good news in the next two days." Du Li nodded.
Lao Yan bowed down and retreated.
At the beginning of the second day, the Dengzhou Governor's Office, Zhao Lie, Huang Han, Xu Hong, Tang Xianwen and others sat together.
"My lord, after a few busy days, all the gold and silver in the official treasury of Dengzhou have been clarified. 12,427 taels of gold, 976,816 taels of silver, in addition, 217,000 taels of silver seized from the soldiers, and 350,000 taels of recovered by Li Jiucheng were taken away, totaling 12,427 taels of gold and 1,543,800 taels of silver. ”
Tang Xianwen's face was ruddy, and he loudly reported the amount of gold and silver confiscated.
"Coupled with the more than 1.1 million taels of silver confiscated in Huangxian County and other places, there are 2.89 million taels of silver in gold and silver accounting, which is a huge amount of money, my lord, it is enough to resettle refugees." Xu Hong looked at Zhao Lie together.
It is said that it is enough, but you have to accept Lord Zhao's ability to spend money, and the gold and silver mountains can also be spent, of course, in exchange for the now strong and powerful army.
"Don't worry, we'll discuss this later, Xianwen continued." Zhao Lie said with a smile, he was also very satisfied, these gold and silver could greatly alleviate the financial crisis.
"This time, Dengzhou City captured 10,463 rebels, and the armor was not counted, but there were only more than 400 iron armor, more than 200 war horses, 23 Hongyi cannons, 36 thousand pound franc machines, 39 small franc machines, and a total of 276 warships, but about 100 ships needed to be repaired." Tang Xianwen will seize them one by one.
"My lord, the armor captured this time is piled up in the three major warehouses, but the system is completely different without our army, and my army can't use it." Xu Hong shook his head, it was a pity.
"This is not in a hurry, it can be transported to Shidao immediately through Shuicheng, leaving some broken and sixty thousand taels of silver immediately." Zhao Lie waved his hand.
"My lord, I think it's a lot of 10,000 taels of silver left." Huang Han muttered.
Zhao Lie shook his head, only a few tens of thousands of taels of silver in the state capital is too little, 10,000, hehe, it's too shabby, I'm afraid the two supervisors and the prison army will be mad.
Suddenly, there were bursts of gongs and faint human voices in the south of the city, and in a moment, the guards came to report that a house in the south of the city was on fire and was being rescued.
Zhao Lie ordered to pay attention to the fire candle, and then continued to discuss with everyone.
After the meeting, Zhao Lie got the news that Yang Jingtang's family set themselves on fire in fear of crime, and the whole family was martyred, Zhao Lie was very satisfied, he would not hesitate because of a few more innocent people, Yang Jingtang should die.
However, a few days later, the news came that Geng Zhongming's family had capsized and died when they were on their way to the Dongjiang River to join the Geng family.
Zhao Lie summoned Du Li to be furious, and Du Li received the punishment without saying a word. (To be continued.) )
