Chapter 105: An Instant Hit

Liu Jun led the nine-headed bird to raid Zhaojiazhuang, which was quite secretive and fast. And the strength of the nine-headed bird is indeed as powerful as rumored, Zhao Wu, who has always been a hegemon of Shuangheji, was directly served in a pot, and even his head was cut off and hung on the big stone archway of Shuangheji.

Overnight, Twin Rivers seemed to have changed. It turned out that the horses of the Zhao family who were rampant in the market were gone, and they were replaced by groups of nine-headed bird regiments that passed by from time to time.

There are a lot of notices posted in the market, and there are people banging gongs everywhere to make announcements.

All morning, there was a talk of one thing in the bazaar, Zhao Wu of Zhaojiazhuang was finished, and his lackeys and his subordinates were also finished.

On the stage in front of the Guan Gong Temple on the east side of the market, it was being arranged, and I heard that Liu Tuanlian was going to publicly display the criminal evidence of Zhao Wu's gang.

Many people have already taken up their seats in front of the stage early, waiting to watch the show.

And Liu Jun was still in the Zhao family's mansion at this time, and Chang Sheng, the commander of the Nine Bird Regiment, personally led the team to search and interrogate, and the Zhao family had no secrets to speak of.

The ledgers, silver cellars, walls, secret rooms, and so on were all interrogated and opened.

All kinds of money, food, jewelry, etc. were piled up in half of the yard, and the nine-headed birds from Liu Jun to the team members below were all excited, busy all night, but they did not look tired at all, but stared at them one by one, and they were excited to squeeze out the last copper coin of the Zhao family.

Before dawn, the teams sent out also rushed back one after another.

Zhao Wu's shops in Taiping Township, including dart shops, dart shops, rice shops, cloth villages, money shops, pawnshops, small charges, carriage and horse shops, inns, granges, etc., were all seized by the nine-headed bird, and the accounts, gold and silver, and the shopkeepers were all taken back, and the shops were sealed.

The nine-headed bird was selected according to the map, and the members of the illicit salt sales gang under Zhao Wu were also brought back from various villages one by one, and none of them were missed.

A perfect move.

"Big brother, a total of 1,365 taels of gold and 17,466 taels of silver have been seized so far. The money was made 2,657 yuan, and there were many gold, silver, jewelry, pearls, jade, etc. Liu Jun's brother Chang Sheng, the seventh Taibao, was also the pacification of the Nine-headed Bird Regiment, and Chang Sheng, who was in charge of military discipline, reported to Liu Jun in a low voice full of excitement.

"This Zhao Wu is really a fat fish." Liu Jun was pleasantly surprised.

"Big brother, that's not all, we have also found a total of about 53,000 taels of silver tickets issued by various banks. All of them are cash tickets that are paid at the sight of the major money banks. ”

"Show me!" Liu Jun was really a little surprised at this time, it was not surprising that Zhao Wu copied more than 10,000 taels of silver in various industries, but he could also get more than 50,000 taels of silver tickets, which was surprising.

Chang Sheng handed over a stack of Zhuang tickets to Liu Jun, and Liu Jun took one out and watched it carefully.

The style of this banker ticket is actually very simple, about six inches long and four inches wide, and the paper is printed with a light green pattern. In the middle of the paper, it is written that the full payment of the bill is 1,000 taels and ten words, which is completely handwritten with a brush, and the font is a little scribbled, almost like the prescription that the doctor reads, but the amount can still be seen clearly.

The right line of the banker's ticket is written with the number of the banker's ticket, the left line has the date of solution, and the name of the banker is written on the lower left. There are also several stamps on the face of the ticket, the seal is stamped in the middle of the banker ticket and the bottom of the seam, the year flower stamp is stamped in the upper left corner of the banker's ticket, and the banker stamp is stamped on the denomination.

This Chengyu money bank's banknote looks too rough and simple in Liu Jun, but it is really worth 1,000 taels of silver, bearer, no voucher, pay at sight, basically the same as banknotes.

The father-in-law in the family opened a money rice shop, and Liu Jun also knew a little about the money village in this era. Knowing that the development has reached today, the money shop money bank is actually very developed and complete, not only can deposit but also lend, and even can transfer foreign exchange in other places, etc., but also operate such as casting silver ingots, identifying the fineness, concurrently engaged in jewelry, etc., there are many businesses, including the issuance of bank bills.

Bankers are credit banknotes issued by money banks, which generally do not need to be approved by the government and are issued by themselves. There is also no need for a security deposit or anything like that, but it is also very different from banknotes. At this time, most of the bankers' bankers actually resembled a deposit slip. If you deposit money into the banker, you can open a banker ticket.

There are roughly two kinds of bank tickets, one is the cash ticket, completely anonymous, who holds who has to withdraw cash, pay at sight, but only limited to the capital of the bank, and some of the money without a semicolon, but also can only be withdrawn locally.

There is also a kind of banker note that is also bearer, but it has a date of payment, and there is no problem with circulation, but the cash must be withdrawn until the specified expiration time before it can be cashed.

In short, that's probably the case, the amount of the banker's ticket is uncertain, and it is completely as much as you save, which can be 100 yuan or 10,000 taels. However, generally only a very large money bank will open such a large banker's ticket, and in the case of a hundred, a banker ticket of one thousand taels of silver is already a considerable denomination.

After carefully looking at this banker ticket for a long time, Liu Jun decided that this was a real banker ticket, not a fake, nor a payout. I carefully checked the other bankers' tickets, the names of the money banks are different, and the seals are also different, but they are all true.

More than 50 1,000 taels of Zhuang tickets, 53,000 taels of silver, can be cashed out when you see the tickets.

"It's really rich." Liu Jun's happy hands trembled a little, he stuffed all the tickets into his arms, and said happily, "Send someone to report to the county government, as well as the yamen of the patrol salt road and the sub-guard road and the military preparation road, and send someone to inform the Hu steward." ”

On the evening of the last day of June, Liu Jun fired a shot and did a big job, and gave the Zhao Wu gang in Zhaojiazhuang, Taiping Township, a nest.

It is completely a pot, no one has slipped through the net, there are more than 500 people up and down, including more than 100 of Zhao Wu's family thugs, and there are also 200 distribution salt sellers, and the rest are some coachmen and boat business guys who are involved in selling salt, as well as Zhao Wu's family.

After dawn, Liu Jun's messenger rode his horse to report the news, and those people who had secretly heard the news and came to inquire about the news quickly found everything they wanted to know.

Zhao Wu, who controls Taiping Township and even a large area of land in the eastern mountainous area, sells illegal salt, and can no longer be planted, and the heads are directly hung on the big stone archway of Shuangheji, and he is not blind.

The news spread quickly like the wind, and no one in Macheng laughed, they used to fight with Zhao Wu for territory, but Zhao Wu died, they couldn't be happy, they only felt deep fear. This Liu Jun is simply messy, and he doesn't follow the routine at all.

Everyone is worried about whether the next one will be themselves.

Some fierce fellows are already on the lookout for outlaws under their command today. And some of the cowards have even packed up and run directly to Fucheng to avoid the limelight, and some of the more cunning ones have prepared a generous gift while running and sent people to Hutou Fort.

The smugglers in the Qihuang area were shaken, and so was the government.

When Lu Jinxi, the magistrate of Macheng County, received the report, he was drinking soup, and the spoon in his hand fell directly onto the table, his brows furrowed into a Sichuan character, and he grinned and breathed in a long breath. He deeply expected that this time Liu Jun would definitely set off another wave.

"This Liu Jun, why don't you save my province." Of course, Lu Jinxi knows that the situation of private salt in the county is serious, but this situation is caused by the compromise of many forces, and he does not expect to break and change the county as a small county, but only asks not to make trouble during his tenure. But now Liu Jun immediately lifted the lid, and he was so ruthless that there was no room at all. "Prepare a sedan chair and go to Shenzhuang."

Hu Guang, who had already booked a room with the head of the Red Sleeve Workshop, also received a report early in the morning, and received two, first Liu Jun's subordinates reported it, and then after a while, his subordinates also rushed back to report the matter.

"Zhao Wu was killed?"

"The heads are hanging on the Shuangheji archway, Zhaojiazhuang and his gang have all been arrested, and more than 500 have been arrested, and now the entire Shuangheji people are watching the excitement." His subordinates wiped their sweat and reported.

Hu Guang held the teacup and gently blew the hot tea, slightly distracted. Liu Jun's subordinates reported that 100,000 catties of illicit salt were seized in Zhaozhuang, but Liu Jun said that this batch of salt was not intended to be recycled by him, but to be left for the nine-headed bird for his own use. He scolded lightly in his heart, 100,000 catties of salt for his own use, the hundreds of people in the nine-headed bird, 10,000 catties of salt a year is enough, 100,000 catties, do you have to eat for ten years?

He knew that Liu Jun first told him that he had obtained 100,000 catties of private salt, and then refused to return it to them as agreed, which must have been an expression of dissatisfaction. What grievances? It is estimated that he did not tell him the information of the smuggler before.

Hu Guang was also a little helpless, it was not that he refused to report the information, but this was what King Anton meant, in order to test Liu Jun's ability. I don't think this Liu Jun is really powerful, he just informed Liu Jun that King Anton was willing to cooperate, but Liu Jun made such a big move in a few days.

Zhao Wu of Zhaojiazhuang, Hu Guang of course knew that a salt lord who controlled the illegal salt sales in Taiping Township was not a big salt lord, but there were also some forces. He also expected that Liu Jun might start with this Zhao Wu first, but he never imagined that he would start so quickly, so ruthlessly, and with such a good effect.

"You go back to Qizhou and send a letter to the prince for me." Hu Guang put down the teacup, shook his head helplessly and smiled, Liu Jun did show him a very strong strength, and he had to tell King Anton truthfully immediately. As for Liu Jun to keep the salt, let him be. If according to the agreement, let them recover the 100,000 catties of salt, one catty is only two cents of silver, and 100,000 catties are only 200 taels of silver. Liu Jun obviously didn't want to suffer this loss, so let him go first this time.

In one day, Huangzhou Mansion, Huangzhou Wei, Xiajiang Defense Road, Xiajiang Defense Road, Yandao, Macheng County, Baoshengbao Township Regiment and other large and small yamen all received Liu Jun's report. Coincidentally, the yamen or the chief officials personally led the team to come, or sent their subordinates to replace them, and they all came to Taiping Township.
