As soon as Zhang Zongheng finished speaking, the staff member smiled, "Don't worry, my lord, the students have already inquired that in addition to the livestock skins, the caravan also escorted a lot of silver taels, and according to the imprints of the wheels, these silver taels are at least tens of thousands of taels of silver. ”

"Tens of thousands of taels!"

Zhang Zongheng's eyes lit up immediately, at this time he was an official who was about to leave office, and his mind was full of thinking about how to get another handful before leaving, and the hypocritical faces and scruples of officials on weekdays were thrown out of the clouds by him.

"So how do we get our hands on those things?" Zhang Zongheng's words at this time had a hint of fierceness.

Sen Sen, the middle-aged staff, smiled: "It's very simple, we just need to do this and ......"

Datong at night is immersed in darkness, as a city close to the border, curfew is indispensable, every night, all people who do not have official approval or special permission are not allowed to go on the street, but anyone who violates the order will be locked up for three days, so the streets are all quiet at this time.

As the largest inn in Datong, the door of the Four Seas Inn has long been closed, and all the guests are finished eating or have rested.

Suddenly, there was a sharp knock at the door.

"Bumper Bumper ...... Bang bang bang...... Open the door, open the door, hurry up and open the door for Lao Tzu! ”

The rapid knock on the door alarmed everyone in the inn, and many of the travelers who had already fallen asleep were awakened.

"Here we go...... Come on...... "The guy who was just about to sleep was also full of upset, and it took a lot of effort to open the door when he came to the door, and before he could open his mouth to curse, the scene in front of him startled him. In front of him, a large number of torches were held high in front of him, and hundreds of soldiers dressed in drapes were staring at him.

One of the officers had a blank face, and when he saw the man, he shouted: "We have received news that a caravan that has just returned from outside the customs has been mixed with spies, and it is under the orders of the political envoy. We will inspect all the caravans returning from outside the gates, and we hope that everyone will cooperate with them, and if there is any disobedience, they will be killed! Come on, go in and search for the official! ”

"Yes!"

As the officer gave the order, hundreds of soldiers rushed into the courtyard like wolves, and soon there were bursts of panicked shouts and shouts in the courtyard.

After a while, the officer and his soldiers broke into a large courtyard and drove out all the people in the courtyard. Among these people were nearly 100 people, including men and guards, and their faces changed when they saw the officers and soldiers and torches standing in the courtyard.

The officer shouted and asked, "Who of you are here in fractions?" Stand up now! ”

Soon, a man in his thirties with a capable face immediately stood up and said, "Back to this military master, the villain is the leader of this caravan." ”

"Oh, you're the leader of this caravan?" The officer glanced at the leader and asked, "What's your name?" Where did you come from? What's in the convoy? Are there any Tartar spies in there? ”

"Back to the general's words, the villain's surname is Xiao, and his name is Ran. There is nothing in the convoy, nothing more than some cattle and some leather goods, and the villain is responding to the state capital with a caravan! The team leader named Xiao Ran replied as he walked up to the officer with a smile on his face. A silver ticket was quickly slipped into the officer's hand.

Touching the unique silver ticket in his hand, the officer's eyes showed a smile, but he immediately saw a middle-aged man who had been standing next to him and was dressed as a sergeant, staring at him, and a chill appeared in his eyes. The joy in his eyes was extinguished immediately. He threw the silver ticket in his hand in front of Xiao Ran and sneered: "Blind your dog's eyes." As a businessman, he dared to bribe an official of the imperial court, and the crime was added to the first degree! Come on, give these vehicles to the official and take them away. ”

The officer's voice just fell. The guys and guards who were standing honestly exploded immediately, and some of them immediately wanted to rush over. Seeing such a situation, the officer who had been prepared for a long time sneered. He raised his hand in the air, and immediately from behind him stood dozens of soldiers with crossbows and crossbows, and they opened their crossbows that had been prepared long ago, and their sharp arrows glittered under the torches.

The officer sneered: "You Diao people, don't think that you think that you are great after doing a few trips of business outside the Guan, I tell you, this is the world of the Ming Dynasty, not you Diao people can do whatever you want!" If any of you feel that you are impatient, please try it and see if your fists are hard or your official is strong! ”

At this time, the leader named Xiao Ran also hurriedly restrained the caravan men and the courtyard guard, preventing them from coming forward.

Seeing such a situation, the officer smiled proudly: "Hehe...... I think your bones are so hard. Looks like that's it, someone...... Pull all these carts away for me! ”

"Wait......"

The leader named Xiao Ran hurriedly took a few steps forward, he walked up to the officer, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "This general, our caravan is a caravan from Wulizhai in Yingzhou Capital, and it belongs to General Mingwei, if you don't have much money, just tell us." Our family likes to make friends the most, if you ......"

"Phew......" Before Xiao Ran's words were finished, the officer spat on him, and he sneered: "Lao Tzu doesn't know any bullshit General Mingwei, Lao Tzu only knows that you people have carried prohibited items in the imperial court, and according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, everything will be confiscated." Come on, take everything away, I want to see who dares to stop it! ”

"Yes!"

The non-commissioned officers behind the officer shouted in unison, and soon came out, and many of them began to harness the vehicles in the compound and drive them out. Seeing these carts being driven out, the guys and guards in the compound were all dumbfounded, and many impulsive people couldn't help but rush forward, wanting to stop these officers and soldiers, but they were all stopped by Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran's movements were all in the officer's eyes, and he didn't say anything, but the sarcastic look in his eyes explained it, and it wasn't until the soldiers moved all the carts away that he sneered and said, "You know each other...... Let's go! After saying that, he walked towards the gate of the compound.

These officers and soldiers came and went as fast as they could, and soon they disappeared from everyone's sight. At this time, the men and guards surrounded Xiao Ran.

"Team Leader Xiao, why did you stop us just now, there is a payment of 30,000 taels of silver that we collected from outside the customs this time, did you just let the officers and soldiers snatch it away?"

"Yes, Xiao Tou, if we go back like this, how should we explain to Lord Yue!"

Facing everyone's resentful words, Xiao Ran took a deep breath and then shouted: "What do you know, didn't you see the expressions on the faces of those people just now? I can guarantee that if we dare to act rashly, none of us will see the sun tomorrow! ”

At this time, someone asked: "Head, what is the origin of these officers and soldiers, why don't they even buy the face of our family?" ”

Xiao Ran snorted coldly: "Although the officer just now claimed to be a member of the political envoy Si Yamen, he couldn't hide it from me. I'm sure these people are definitely from the Governor's Palace, and those soldiers are all from the standard battalion, and the smell of arrogance in them can't be hidden from me. Ma Lao Er, you prepare immediately, and as soon as dawn we will go out of the city to respond to the state. ”

"Head...... Aren't we going to negotiate with the government about the following? The man named Ma Lao Er hesitated.

"Negotiate what? This matter is clearly meant to be dealt with us, is it useful to negotiate? Xiao Ran's face was gloomy and frightening, "Let's immediately respond to the state and report this matter to the adults to know that this is the right thing, wait, this matter is definitely not over!" Don't worry, we'll get the crumb that spat at me to lick that thing back soon! ”

That night, these carts were also transported to the governor's palace overnight, and Zhang Zongheng, who was already waiting a little impatiently, ordered someone to open the boxes on the carts, and saw boxes of white silver, Zhang Zongheng smiled so much that the fat on his face trembled, but he didn't expect that he had already caused a lot of trouble...... (To be continued......)
