Chapter 553: Lin Dan Khan
In the middle of the street, there are piles of silk, gold and silver, and all kinds of valuable items.
A young man in his early thirties pointed to these things and explained them to the people who gathered around.
"Everyone must be confused, I don't know where these things come from, I can tell everyone, according to the inventory, more than half of them are our Datong right guard. How dare I be sure, please look at these official silver, there are words on them, everyone take a look! ”
As he spoke, he raised it, and the people present gathered around, stretched their necks to see, and sure enough, it was so.
The little official said: "Last year, the right guard of Datong was attacked by the Mongolian Tatars and snatched everything, but how could it appear in front of everyone's eyes?" Did the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty kill into the desert and snatch things back? No, these things were all found in Wang Daning's house! ”
Yes!
All the people present were taken aback and couldn't believe their ears. It's a good look, the Mongols snatched things, how could they give it to Wang Daning, isn't this a joke?
None of the people wanted to believe it, and there was a lot of discussion, and they even felt that the court was fooling the big guys. Wang Dashan is such a good person, how could he do something illegal?
Compared with the notorious and creditless court, the big guy would rather believe Wang Daning, who is also a fellow countryman.
Looking at the big guy's excited appearance, the little official smiled secretly, don't look at his official position, but he has a lot of experience. He is the first batch of scholars recruited by Zhang Ke in the southeast, and now he is an eight-rank official.
Don't look at the only eight grades, but he originally took the exam for ten years, and he didn't even get into the exam as a child, so he didn't have the qualifications to be an official at all. After arriving in Liaodong, with his work of being practical and serious, in a few years, he climbed to the eighth rank official, and now the Yizhou soldiers control Xuanda, if they do well. It is completely possible to rush to the level of the county order.
King Anton has said a long time ago, meritocracy, what about the Jinshi in the examination, what the prince wants are people who can do things!
The little official was full of confidence, and waited for everyone to quarrel for a long time before he smiled slowly: "The big guy may not believe it, but in fact, I don't believe in the dignified Ming Dynasty, there will be a heartless madman who colludes with the Tartars and kills his compatriots, but I thought about it carefully." But I can't help but believe it. ”
"Listen to me, everyone, on the steppe, the Tartars have almost nothing but cattle and sheep. They loot frequently, even just for pots and pans, bedding and clothes, and everyone must know this. What's the use of the gold and silver they snatch? You can't eat or drink, except for a few nobles who are taken by the Tartars to eat, everything else is a pile of waste. What would I do if I were a Tartar? It's very simple, it is to give these things to some merchants and let them take them to Daming and exchange them for food supplies. On the ...... back"
The little official spoke clearly and spoke straightforwardly, and everyone gradually understood. also fell into contemplation, could there really be a Ming businessman who would be consumed by profit. Helping the Mongols sell stolen goods?
Everyone still didn't believe it, but at this time, the little official waved his hand, and a soldier brought over a few boxes. It was put in front of everyone.
"Let's take a look, everyone, this is the correspondence we found in Wang Daning's house."
When they heard this, everyone was surprised, and several literate scholars crowded to the front, picked up the letter, looked at it, and actually read it.
“…… The previous goods have been transported to Jiangnan, and after being sold, they will get 13,000 taels of silver, and they will purchase 100 pieces of brocade and 200 pieces of porcelain from the official kiln for Taiji, and they will give a beautiful woman ......"
“…… Today, there are 20,000 stone of military rations, and they will be sent to Pingyuwei, and Taiji can choose the opportunity to do it, and when he grabs it, please pay 3,000 taels of silver......"
……
Turning over these letters, without exception, they either sold information to the Mongols, or helped the Mongols sell stolen goods and buy supplies, and the doubts that had been hovering in everyone's hearts were finally gradually resolved.
The Mongols are not immortals, why can they catch a quasi-child at a time, and return with a full load every robbery. In the past, I only knew that it was the incompetence of the imperial court and the rice bucket of officers and soldiers. Now that I look at it again, it turned out that someone secretly reported the news and betrayed the information to the Tartars!
Not only did he sell it to the Tartars, but he even helped the Tartars sell the stolen goods, turning the looted gold and silver treasures into grain, salt, and weapons, and then selling them to the Mongols to support them in continuing to plunder.
This business is worth it, at least a few thousand taels each time, tens of thousands of taels of money, but behind the white flowers, how many people's blood and tears, how many people are ruined, and how many wives are separated.
Wouldn't you wake up at night with such money?
No wonder Wang Daning gave alms everywhere, repaired bridges and roads, and accumulated a good reputation, feeling that he was afraid of going to hell!
The most hateful thing is the big guy, how can he be blind, and he actually believes that he is a great good person, it is so ironic!
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
One of the people took the lead in shouting, and everyone else followed, everyone looked hideous, their eyes showed a fierce light, and they couldn't wait to catch Wang Daning in front of them and chew them alive.
"Folks, please think about it, is it just Wang Daning who is doing this kind of immoral business and earning money that has lost his conscience? I thought otherwise, now King Andong and Governor Lu, as well as Zhang Zhongcheng, have all issued strict orders to find out how many people are still involved. ”
"Here, just remind the big guys, if you can provide clues about the illegal businessmen, the court will reward the big guys. In addition, finding out such a businessman is also to help ourselves, who knows when the Tartars will be killed again, and the unlucky ones may be all present, everyone must think clearly, and have to talk to the people around them, don't be a tiger and help the abuse! ”
A common person may be an ant, and he doesn't have to care, but once thousands of people are mobilized, that power cannot be underestimated.
What's more, there is also a generous silver reward, which can reach up to 100,000 taels. Overnight, it was easier to get rich than to win the lottery.
Finally, someone took the initiative to report to the imperial court, saying that they had acted as coachmen and helped some merchants transport goods, all of which were sent to the front line of the Great Wall, and even to the outside of the fortress.
The news was sent to Zhang Zongheng, and he was not polite, and directly ordered that Wang Dayu and the Zhai family involved in it should be sealed first.
The two Jin business leaders were raided together, like a super bomb, which fell on everyone's heads. If we continue on this trend, it won't be long before we wipe everyone out.
As the most powerful Jin merchant, Fan Yongdou could no longer sit still.
The methods they used to use in the past, such as heavy bribes, Zhang Ke was richer than them, and encouraged the official to sue the black, but unfortunately Chongzhen trusted Zhang Ke, as for mobilizing the people, don't be kidding, Zhang Ke is using the people to deal with them!
Now, the only trick is to count on the Mongols, but unfortunately, why is there no movement at all?
Fan Yongdou was like an ant on a hot pot, and he didn't know that just above the vast grassland, a group of centaurs was quickly killing Datong.
The man at the head was none other than Lin Dan Khan, and next to him, a young Han man followed closely.
"Great Khan, this time the White Lotus Sect will take the opportunity to help the Great Khan completely eliminate Zhang Ke." Xiao Xu said flatteringly. (To be continued......)
PS: Sudden acute enteritis last night, vomiting and diarrhea, groggy, fell asleep at nine o'clock, sorry for the big guy......
