271 Unexpected
Although there is no treachery and no business, but the "treacherous" is like this, which is an eye-opener for Lu Haoshan.
People die for money, birds die for food, businessmen can't afford to make profits early, this is understandable to Lu Haoshan, as a businessman, it doesn't matter if he doesn't contribute when the country is in danger, but these people make money by betraying their compatriots and mutilating their compatriots to make profits, and do anything that hurts nature and reason for money, even if they bear the infamy of traitors, Lu Haoshan is really speechless to these people.
When the first tea and horse transaction, I met Huang Zhong, a disciple of the Huang family in the eight Jin merchants, who was buying and selling outside, in order to achieve the goal, he also wanted to kill people and make more goods, and did not expect that the Jiexiu Fan family was not inferior, in order to make the country difficult, he killed the genuine king of troubled times, and pretended to be the king of troubled times to do evil.
Turn your head and think about it, in fact, it is also a profitable business, with the way of robbery, you can quickly accumulate a lot of wealth, the eight imperial merchants who secretly colluded with Houjin, in order to escort grain and grass and other materials, must have raised a large number of dead soldiers and thugs, so as to escort along the way, like the iron grain and grass that was secretly smuggled into Houjin, you should be more careful when escorting, that the king of troubled times meets this group of people, it is definitely not good for the passing years, and the king of the troubled world can also do some dirty things unknowingly, For example, it is more convenient to prepare grain and grass for the post-gold.
Sure enough, things gather like and people are divided into groups, these traitors not only sit together, but also do these daring things, and they are unwilling to be left behind.
Lack of cleanup.
"This big profiteer, my lord, we will report to the official report immediately, and let the people of the government clean them up."
"It's so lawless, these businessmen are even worse than gangsters."
"It's just scum, the rabbit doesn't eat the grass next to the nest, this surname Fan is still from Fenzhou, and the villagers don't let it go."
"This kind of person should be cut by a thousand cuts. Ling Chi was put to death. ”
"It's not human."
Hearing the information from Zhao Gongchang's trial, everyone was not calm, they cursed angrily one by one, and some rolled up their sleeves as they spoke, as if they wanted to immediately give a profound lesson to the traitor surnamed Fan, like Sun Xiong, his eyes were red, and his nose was spurting rough air, like a violent bull.
Lu Haoshan shook his head on the side, now he knew that these people took advantage of the chaos to harm the people. If they knew that in addition to exploiting the people and harming the people, these people also became traitors, transported various strategic materials for Houjin, sold stolen goods for Houjin, sold the things they stole from the Ming Dynasty, and secretly transported them back to the materials that were in short supply in Houjin.
"In addition to admitting that he is a fake, he said that there is nothing else?" Lu Haoshan continued to ask.
After collusion, Jin didn't say a word?
Zhao Gongchang thought about it. Shaking his head firmly, he said, "My lord, no. ”
No? It seems that this surnamed Fan's mouth is quite dense, and he has used 18 kinds of torture, and he can't let go of his mouth. If he can take the lead in doing this kind of thing, he will definitely enter the ranks of the core disciples, and the Fan family and Houjin colluded to act as Houjin's lackeys not a day or two, and they should know a little bit about those things. But he didn't let go of his mouth even if he died, and he was really hard-mouthed.
It's understandable, pretending to be a thief. At most, he said that he was obsessed with money, and if he had something to dredge up in the government, it would not affect his family, if the people who fornicated with foreign enemies once it was spread out, it was not surprising that the nine clans were punished, and now the court was nervous with silver, Chongzhen did everything possible to raise money and silver, if he knew that there was such a big businessman who committed a crime, he would probably be very happy in his anger, and this time he slaughtered a big fat sheep.
It doesn't matter if you don't say it, Lu Haoshan already knew about it, and originally planned to clean up these traitors, but he was still worried about where to start, but now it can be said that there is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it, this can be regarded as a grass and a rabbit, and Lu Haoshan actually got the direct evidence of the crime committed by the children of the Fan family.
Dashan said a little strangely: "It's strange, since these people are from Jiexiu, Shanxi, with their accents and appearances, why aren't they afraid of the locals recognizing them?" ”
Zhao Gongchang explained: "This is simple, the Fan family is Fenzhou Jiexiu people, that is his ancestral home, a big family, is constantly spending leaves, there are many side branches, they do not necessarily live in Jiexiu, many big families in order to preserve the bloodline, will let some descendants live a little farther, sometimes deliberately alienated, so that one party has an accident, and the bloodline will not be cut off, the Jin merchants have been famous very early, and the Jiexiu Fan family is the leader of the Jin merchants, they have expanded their business to all parts of the country, and their disciples are also scattered all over the country, It's not difficult to find an unfamiliar face, besides, the robbers are panicked, and they can't hide one by one, where to pay attention to what he looks like? And who knows that he can mask his face and put on makeup or something when he loots? ”
"There's a makeup box in the loot, and there are some mustaches and other things in it, maybe it's for makeup." Li Dingguo added on the side.
Lu Haoshan didn't bother with these questions, thought about it for a while, and quickly made up his mind: "Dingguo, let Lang Zhong bandage those guys, and give him some food to keep their lives, this official is still useful." ”
"Yes, sir." Li Dingguo responded and immediately went to execute.
Sun Xiong wiped his hands happily and said, "Yes, send this guy to the official mansion, one can make meritorious contributions, and the other can expose the ugly face of the Fan family and make them black-hearted." ”
At the thought of these bad guys being punished, Sun Xiong was in a happy mood. ‘
Lu Haoshan picked up the tea and took a sip of it, and said very calmly: "This official doesn't plan to send him to the official mansion. ”
"My lord is afraid that they will be friendly with the government, and they are afraid that the people in the government will be corrupt and bend the law and let him get away with it, so it is better to torture him and then hand over his head to the government, right?" Dashan asked curiously.
The experienced Tang Qiang said with some concern: "My lord, but this fake king of troubled times is not the real king of troubled times, this appearance is different from the king of troubled times in the wanted warrant, the government may not admit it, and then the surnamed Fan said that we killed good people and risked merit, so we were passive." ”
The children surnamed Fan pretended to be the king of troubled times, and robbed and committed crimes in the areas of Pingyang and Fenzhou, and they definitely don't see people with their true faces on weekdays, and the surname Fan has a great influence in Shanxi, saying that they are bandits, and it is estimated that no one will believe it, Lu Haoshan twisted and sent them to see the official, and then the surnamed Fan will beat a rake, maybe he can't beat the fox and cause a commotion.
"There are indeed some concerns," Lu Haoshan said unexpectedly, "So, I decided to send him back to Fan's house." ”
"What? My lord? Send this scumbag back to the Fan family? You're not kidding, are you? As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and Sun Xiong, who was anxious, said with a sad and angry face: "My lord, you are not confused. ”
"Presumptuous!" Tang Qiangqiang reprimanded: "Sun Xiong, how did you talk to adults? ”
Blatantly questioning the coach's decision, saying that it is ignorant if it is light, and saying that it is serious, it is the following offense.
Sun Xiong was drunk by Tang Qiang, and then he came to his senses and hurriedly admitted his mistake to Lu Haoshan.
Lu Haoshan asked Sun Xiong to sit down first, and then waved his hand and said: "It's okay, this matter is a bit complicated, it's normal not to understand, everyone here is your own people, you just need to believe in this official, there is a sentence you remember, some people are more uncomfortable alive than dead, and this official will definitely not let him have a good time." ”
Sent to the government to be brought to justice, Lu Haoshan also thought about exposing to the government the collusion of Fan Yongdou and others with foreign enemies, but after thinking about it carefully, he soon felt that this matter was not so simple, the Jin merchants led by Fan Yongdou not only dared to collude with Houjin, but also colluded for a long time, which shows that they not only have backers, but also bribed many officials in Shanxi, these officials not only turned a blind eye to what he did, but sometimes dealt with some troublesome things for him, so that he could collude with foreign clans and betray the interests of the Ming Dynasty.
Jin merchants are very good at doing business, in the long-term business process to form a unique business culture, Guangdong businessmen, Hui merchants, Jin merchants, Zhejiang merchants, Su merchants are famous five major business gangs, Jin merchants among them, from the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Jin merchants began to consciously take the road of combining government and business, that is, to find their spokesperson, to fund promising scholars or to help those unambitious officials run official, dredge relations, use the financial resources and connections in their hands to push them to a higher position, business support officials, after the official ascended to the position and feed these businessmen, Thus obtaining greater benefits.
Although the children of the Fan family were caught, Lu Haoshan's subordinates did not have much hard evidence, and it was difficult to find witnesses to indicate this matter, if they made trouble with the government, with the identity of the intermediary Fan, they would definitely be able to make a big fuss about it, obviously accusing him of pretending to be a robber, but they in turn could slander Lu Haoshan for killing good and risking his merits, and when the time came, Haoshan Shui could not be cleared, and Fan Yongdou was very good at packaging, and he did a lot of good deeds on weekdays, and he also donated money and materials to the army from time to time, without enough evidence, it was difficult to bring him down.
Maybe even a high-scare snake.
Instead of taking risks, it is better to use this child of the Fan family who pretends to be the king of troubled times, to blackmail the Fan family, and take the opportunity to get close to them, so that they can go deeper into the enemy's interior.
"Yes, sir." When everyone heard this, they immediately responded in unison.
For Lu Haoshan's character and ability, everyone is convinced.
Zhao Gongchang said with some embarrassment: "My lord, just now the little one was angry, and he started a little heavier, and he abolished all his descendants.
This fake king of troubled times, even the dead do not let go, his behavior is outrageous, Zhao Gongchang hates these womanizers the most, and in a fit of anger, he also takes special care of that place, and a footman abolishes it, when Lu Haoshan heard the huge scream, it was Zhao Gongchang who abolished the roots of that guy's children and grandchildren with one kick.
Lu Haoshan didn't raise his head, and said with a nonchalant face: "It's okay, just toss it casually, just take a breath." ”
"Okay, I'll loosen his muscles in a moment." Zhao Gongchang said viciously with a sneer on his lips.
"Instructor Zhao, I'll give you a hand." Sun Xiong volunteered.
"Okay."
Regarding the conversation between the two, Lu Haoshan just smiled and did not stop it, looking at the leg of mutton that had just been torn off, he called out to the Fan family in his heart, and then took a bite on the roasted mutton that was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, it felt like biting a large piece of meat on the body of the big traitor Fan Wendou (to be continued......
