Octagonal Terrace Zhang Mansion, Zhang Quanbao and Zhang Quande were chatting in the study, one sentence in the east and one sentence in the west, and then finally got to the point.

"It's been three days since Brother Wang Xian led the team out, right?" Zhang Quanbao asked.

Zhang Quande pinched his fingers and nodded. "I left on the night of May 21, and today is May 24th, yes, it's been two whole days."

"I wonder what the outcome is?"

Both of them are a little worried, and now the Zhang family and Wang Yi are grasshoppers on the same line, relying on each other, and their lips are cold and their teeth are cold. Zhang Quanbao is most satisfied with Wang Yi, that is, he does not forget to dig wells. The distribution of benefits is very thorough, and it will not interfere too much in Tai'an's decision-making, but it can put forward reasonable opinions without making the Zhang family ugly. There is another point, that is, Wang Yi's use of Zhang Jingxiao, even the Zhang family, or rather Zhang Quanbao himself, did not dare to trust his son so much, but Wang Yi dared. The entire maritime department of Dashang, whether it is a shipyard or a maritime academy, is completely run by Zhang Jingxiao, although it is all self-made, it still looks very weak. But Wang Yi has done everything he should have done, and the rest is just Zhang Jingxiao's training for himself.

There was a knock on the door outside.

"Come in!"

A servant pushed the door in and said in surprise: "Mr. Wang, you have returned victoriously." ”

"What?!"

Zhang Quanbao and Zhang Quande all stood up in shock, and unconsciously said in unison: "How can it be so fast?" ”

Wanjia kiln is not more than a year ago, since the occupation of Dagu Mountain, now it is connected, and there are nearly 8,000 people under the Qi army. Coupled with the defense of the three mountain passes, even if Wang Yi's insurance team is strong and strong, it will not be able to say that it will not be able to fight for ten days and half a month.

Of course, Wang Yi knew this better than anyone else, so from the very beginning, he did not plan to storm Wanjiayao, but set up two ambushes.

The first ambush soldier was Zhao Agou, who followed Fu San to surrender to the Qi State Army in the Juyi Spoils Hall, and his identity was the deputy captain of the hidden knife team under Wang, second only to the old scorpion Shen Qianwen in terms of status. After defecting to the Qi State Army, he was deeply appreciated by the Qi State Army, and was later assigned to serve as the deputy guard of the first mountain pass.

The second ambush army was forced by the Qi army to join the Wanjiabao Jinjiabao, Wang Yi sent the old scorpion to personally come to the door to persuade and lobby, and promised heavy profits, including 30% of the shares of the Dagushan mine. Later, the lord of the fort, Cang Jingkong, agreed to Wang Yi's request, and also personally went to the insurance team base to meet with Wang Yi. Although Wang Yi was shocked by the name of the old hero, and even evoked some ignorant years in the dead of night, the unbearable past, but he was still very enthusiastic. And Cang Jinggang also saw the military appearance of the insurance team, and he completely made up his mind to take refuge.

Just half an hour before Wang Yi launched an attack, Cang Jingkun took his 400 men to Wanjiayao, and then told Wang Yi about attacking Wanjiayao. At first, Qi Guojun didn't believe Cang Jinggang, thinking that he was going to plot wrongdoing, but when the spies got a definite answer, Qi Guojun was relieved.

But at this time, Wang Yi had already captured the first mountain pass with the help of Zhao Agou, and the second mountain pass at this time was also in danger. The battle situation was critical, and the Qi army did not hesitate any longer, so he led his subordinates to supervise the formation, and at this time, Cang Jinggang took the opportunity to take the initiative to ask for help, and naturally obtained the permission of the Qi army. At that time, Lao Qi was also moved to say that the brothers were united, and their strength was broken. As a result, after reaching the second mountain pass, the situation changed dramatically. Cang Jingkuna's 400 men directly surrounded all the bandit leaders of Wanjiayao, including the Qi State Army, but those who dared to resist were directly shot on the spot.

When Qi Guojun saw Wang Yi and Cang Jinggang walking together and talking happily, his intestines were almost remorseful. The prince who can be a prince, and the thief who is a loser. It's useless to say anything now, Qi Guojun himself knows in his heart that falling to this step in the field today is also related to his excessive oppression of Jinjiabao. You forced people to send their families to your Wanjiayao, and in turn, people could rebel against you! As the saying goes, if you sit on the first day of junior high school and others sit on the fifteenth, no one should blame anyone.

As soon as the rest of the bandits in Wanjiayao saw that their own chief scoop and four beams and eight pillars were all served by their own families, what else did their gang of bandits resist, so they surrendered and fled. Of course, there are also those who are generous and righteous, and the king will fulfill them all. There are also traitors seeking glory, and Wang Yi is not too disgusted with them. This era is like this, one person has one way to live.

Wang Yi sat on the Taishi chair, drinking tea expressionlessly, and Wu Xiao, Xiang Long and others stood on either side. Now that the entire Wanjiayao was trembling under his feet, Wang Yi didn't have much of a happy mood at this time. Qi Guojun was brought up, first glanced at Wang Yi, his eyes were full of disdain, and then stared viciously at Cang Jinggang who was standing on the side.

When the two soldiers who escorted him saw that the goods had seen their captain and dared not kneel, they immediately kicked him in the back leg and stomach.

Wang Yi waved his hand at this time, learned the tone of the undefeated in the East, and said softly: "Stop, since you don't kneel, don't kneel." After a while, he pulled out his family for me, peeled the skin and grass, and lit the sky lantern. Remember, the dripping human oil is kept for me, as well as those hearts, livers, spleens, lungs and kidneys, after I go back, use human oil again, my little black likes to eat these wolf hearts and dog lungs the most. ”

Qi Guojun glared at Wang Yi angrily, but Wang Yi looked at him with a smile in his eyes. Even so, Qi Guojun clearly felt the coldness in Wang's eyes, which was a kind of overlook across the ages. In this era when there are no tears in the sky and people are like dogs, you can be a thief, ruthless, and unscrupulous, but you must also be prepared to be killed.

"Do you kneel, or don't you kneel?" Wang Yifeng asked lightly.

Qi Guojun's body was trembling.

"Jin Lin is a thing in the pool, and he will turn into a dragon when he encounters a storm! It's a pity that it's not you ......" Wang Yi didn't scare people anymore, shook his hand, and said: "Take him down, pass on my order, and escort Qi Guojun and other bandit leaders to the Octagonal Platform and hand them over to Zhang Baochang for processing." ”

Wu Xiao was taking notes.

"Tu Xiaohua!"

"Here!"

"The remaining bandits let them make internal reports, and those who have meritorious service can reduce their responsibility. At the same time, a villagers' meeting will be held tomorrow, so that they can complain and take revenge, and those who commit the most heinous crimes will be shot! ”

"Yes!"

"As for the remaining bandits, the felons were handed over to the Octagonal Platform to repair the waterways of the Liao River, dig wells and repair roads. The rest of the servants, the old and weak, gathered together, built a collective farm on my one-third of an acre of land in Dagu Mountain, opened up wasteland and farmed, and issued specific regulations, and I will issue them at that time. As for the young and strong people, they stayed in the Dagushan mine to work. ”

Wang Yi turned his face to look at Cang Jinggang at this time, and said, "Old hero, you can help me settle down for the time being, and I will pay for the food!" ”

"You're welcome, Captain. I, Jinjiabao, will do my best to help you deal with the aftermath. ”

After staying overnight, as soon as Wang Yi got up in the morning, Wu Xiao came to the door.

"Captain!"

Wang Yiyi was stunned when he saw Wu Xiao's appearance, and he got rid of a rabbit, his eyes were red, and he looked excited.

"What's wrong with you? Didn't sleep last night? ”

"Didn't sleep! Last night, I took someone to check the warehouse of Wanjiayao, and it has been until now. ”

"It seems to have gained a lot!"

Wu Xiao handed over the account book, Wang Yi didn't care too much, but when he saw it, he was surprised!

50,000 taels of gold, more than 1,230,000 taels of silver, money, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, jewelry, jade, traditional Chinese medicine, and countless animal skins.

"Why is there so much money?" Wang Yi also screamed in surprise, and secretly said in his heart, no wonder the Qi army dared to pull up a team of nearly 8,000 people, and the emotional family is rich and rich.

"Tu Xiaohua interrogated Qi Guojun, the reason is actually very simple, robbed! According to Qi Guojun himself, he grabbed the most money, which was the Mi family, who monopolized the timber trade in Dagushan and Dadonggou. It is said that this Mi family is also a tyrant in the neighborhood, colluding with corrupt officials and corrupt officials, armed escorts, armed suppression, and countless people have died at his hands. Then there were a few large banner families, inextricably linked to the Qing court, and most of them were goods transported from the Guannai, except for the offerings of local tenant farmers. ”

"You go and call Chang Jinlong!"

"Yes!" Wu Xiao turned around and went out, and after a while, he walked into the house with Chang Jinlong.

After that, the three of them discussed in secret for a long time.

"Oh no, someone set it on fire!"

The sparse sound of gunfire came, and five or six masked people fell in a pool of blood, but at this time, the fire gradually broke out, and the entire Wanjia kiln turned into a sea of fire in a short time. Everyone stared at the sight, and many locals shed tears unconsciously.

Wang Yi, who was standing in front of the people, roared angrily: "What's the matter! ”

Wu Xiao walked over at the right time and said in a loud voice: "Report, there are spies who have infiltrated the Wanjia kiln, and while I can't wait, I poured oil on the fire, and now the fire has started, and it is difficult to control it." Captain, let's evacuate the people quickly! ”

Wang Yi stomped his feet three times, and finally said helplessly: "Hey...... That's it! Walk! ”

Fengtian Shengjing General's Mansion, Wanyan Chongshi became General Shengjing for less than a year, because of official work day and night, hard work, so that his body suddenly deteriorated. Now I can only be bedridden and rely on the head of the bed to handle official business.

"My lord, Haicheng Tongzhi and Yingkou Tongzhi sent news at the same time that the local militia had exterminated the evil bandit Qi army entrenched in Wanjiayao in Dagu Mountain, and the bandit leader had been escorted to Shengjing and would arrive soon, along with more than 200,000 taels of dirty silver that had been seized. However, Wanjia kiln was set on fire by spies, and the rest of the property was burned. ”

These days, Chongshi has a smile for the first time, and his body is much refreshed, and he immediately laughs: "Okay, very good!" Reward those who have made meritorious contributions. ”

Chongshi didn't care much about Qi Guojun, what he cared about was the 200,000 taels of silver, Fengtian didn't lack anything, so he lacked money.

Three days later, Chongshi, who had just slept for a while, suddenly woke up, and the maid hurriedly stepped forward to serve, only to hear Chongshi say: "The 200,000 taels of silver can go to Shengjing?" ”

This was said without a beginning or end, and his subordinates did not react for a while.

A nimble-minded servant whispered a few words beside the butler at this time, and the butler suddenly realized that he hurriedly said, "Master, I'll send someone to ask." ”

Chongshi waved his hand, and everyone retreated.

Half an hour later, a fast horse stopped in front of the Shengjing General's Mansion, and immediately the people ran inside in a hurry, but were stopped by the guards.

"Who dares to break into General Shengjing's mansion?"

"Urgent!"

"Urgent? You have to wait for me! One of the guards snorted coldly, then cursed a few words before passing it inward.

The housekeeper is struggling, and there is no news from the servants of the dispatch house. As soon as he heard that the guard said that there was an urgent report, he hurriedly ordered someone to be brought in, he didn't want to interfere in official business, but just wanted to listen to the next breath, after all, Chongcheng's health was not very good.

"What's wrong?" In the small courtyard in front of Chongshi's bedroom, the housekeeper asked in a low voice.

"The big thing is not good, the 200,000 taels of dirty silver seized from the Wanjiayao in Dagu Mountain were suddenly robbed by horse bandits when they traveled to the northern foot of Qianshan, and most of the militia groups escorting the dirty silver were killed, and the bandit Qi Guoyuan was rescued."

"What about the two hundred thousand taels of silver?" The butler was already in a state of voice at this time.

"Taken away by robbers."

"Snatched? Who did this to you!? ”

"There is no clue yet, but the surrounding prefectures and counties have begun to investigate in detail."

Just as the housekeeper was about to continue questioning, Chongshi suddenly pushed the door and walked out with the support of the maid. When the housekeeper saw it, he was shocked and hurriedly said, "Master, you have to take care!" ”

Chongcheng's face was very bad, extremely pale, his body was still trembling, and he stretched out his hand to point something, but he couldn't control the direction. The housekeeper was about to speak, but the girl exclaimed. It turned out that Chongshi fainted after a few rapid breaths, and for a while, the entire Shengjing General's Mansion was in chaos.

That night, General Sheng Jing and the Imperial Envoy of the Ministry of Military Affairs and Fengtian Mansion Yin, Wanyan Chongshi passed away at the age of 57.

Wang Yi didn't know that the little trick of guarding and stealing himself at the northern foot of Qianshan actually indirectly angered General Shengjing of the Qing Dynasty. The fire burned ten thousand kilns, and Pegasus robbed the dirty silver, all of which were acting. When robbing the dirty silver, there were indeed countless dead, but all of them were bandits who had been selected before, and all of them were extremely evil people. As for the Qi State Army and the bandit leaders, of course Wang Yi couldn't keep them. They are all dead now, but they don't know where they were buried by Tu Xiaohua's person with a hidden knife. Doing this kind of thing, Wang Yi was very relieved of Tu Xiaohua.

As for the 200,000 taels of silver, in the large boxes pulled by more than a dozen carriages, only one layer on the surface was real silver, and the bottom was full of large stones. Now that the silver has been sent to the treasury of the Dashang Silver Furnace at the base of the martial arts school, when it comes out again, it will be the Dashang Silver Dollar.

This matter, how to check how to check it, Wang Yi is not worried. Besides, the big case of the government being robbed of more than 200,000 taels of silver has not happened before, and the annual donations and cents that were going to Shanhaiguan from Jinzhou to be transported to the capital were robbed by the bandits. This kind of thing is not uncommon, and the Qing court itself is probably used to it.

After returning from Dagushan, Wang Yi was in a good mood, and the prospecting team had already set off under the protection of the insurance team, just waiting for the news from Dagushan.

The 500,000 taels of government loans that Dashang Yinlu lent to the Shengjing General's Mansion have also been put in place, and the three-year mining rights of Fushun Coal Mine are used as collateral. Fushun's coal mine has begun to recruit workers, and Wang Yi's first sight is the West Open-pit Coal Mine, which was known as Asia's No. 1 open-pit coal mine at that time, and the follow-up coal chemical equipment has also begun to be loaded from Germany.
