When the younger strong man heard Geng Jingzhong's words, he thought to himself, this brother Tai doesn't look like a businessman, he exudes a sense of nobility, he must be a child of a certain family, maybe he can intercede for the people, so he put aside his scruples and said: "Brother Tai has a noble temperament, not like a businessman." Since you're interested, I'll talk to you about it. Our Mrs. Wu is also a scholar, and he has been lifted by people, but unfortunately the knowledge of this belly has been eaten by dogs. There is a family living on the same street as me, and an old couple guards an only daughter, and because they can't pay the taxes, Mrs. Wu has to pull his daughter to pay off the debt. Alas, there are nearly half a hundred people in Wufutai, and they still want to marry this fourteen or fifteen-year-old yellow flower girl to be a child, what a sin! ”

"Is that really the case?" Geng Jingzhong has come this way, although he has seen a lot of injustices, but he has not yet encountered a case of robbing people's daughters, if this is true, it will set a precedent, and he is bound to intervene.

"Hey, what's more, this girl is already engaged, when Mrs. Wu sent someone, she would rather die than obey, and she died on a stone! The old couple couldn't stand the blow, and one died on the spot, and the other took care of the aftermath and then hanged himself on the grave! Tut-tut, tell me, this is a lack of great virtue! This thing is the first two days, no matter who you ask, who on the street doesn't know! ”

Geng Jingzhong's Qi cultivation kung fu is good, but when he heard this, he was also angry, and smashed his fist on the bench. Fortunately, it didn't hit the table, otherwise it would have been a big commotion. It's just a few plates of dumplings on the table. Maybe they'll all be bounced up. "Damn it!" Geng Jingzhong gritted his teeth and said fiercely. However, the sound was not loud, and the two tables they were close to could be heard clearly. Gu Ping, the new commander of the guards around him, and the other two guards also hated it. There is absolutely no such thing in Fujian today, and all such officials have "disappeared" and disappeared.

"Brother, be quiet, if you let others listen to it, if you report it to that Mrs. Wu, the matter will be a big deal. If you're still like that, I'm not going to say it! The young and slightly chubby man whispered to Geng Jingzhong and the others.

Geng Jingzhong frowned, and asked in a low voice, "Oh." Listening to Brother Tai, this Mrs. Wu has done a lot of other evil things? ”

"Hey, he's not a good official, how can he only have this evil thing. Let's just talk about the past two days, I don't know what kind of madness this Mrs. Wu has made again, and he began to collect horses everywhere, and said that it was the order of King Pingxi. Damn, I forgot about this, I see that you also rode out on a horse, so you better hide the horse quickly. Or hurry up and get out of this realm, or it won't be long. The official is about to come to the door to lead the horse! Halfway through speaking, he remembered it and patted his thigh and said.

"I'm my own horse, for business, what does it have to do with him, can he still rob it?" Geng Jingzhong raised his eyebrows and said. But a thought suddenly popped up in his heart, this Wu Sangui's order, shouldn't it be for a deal with him! If that's the case, do you have a part to participate in? Damn, this can't be allowed to go on like this.

"Hey, that's all you say! Two days ago, a group of horse-selling merchants was directly detained. You know, we don't produce horses here, but there are a lot of them that do, so there are often traders who sell horses from other places here. It is said that these horse dealers are all serious businessmen, who took tea from Hunan in the north, and exchanged tea for horses to come here, but unfortunately Wu Taizun knew, more than 100 horses were all deducted, and the price of a son was not given, isn't this a clear robbery? Those horses are the lifeblood of horse dealers, and if they lose their horses, they will lose their old capital, of course, they will not do it, they will quarrel with the officers and soldiers, and then they will all be taken to prison, and now it is not known whether they are dead or alive, but they will be tortured for sure! ”

Geng Jingzhong felt uncomfortable now, the cause of this incident was because of him, if he hadn't offered to exchange artillery for Wu Sangui's horses, things wouldn't have turned out like this. However, because Wu Sangui and Tibet opened a tea and horse market, Geng Jingzhong thought that he was not short of horses at all, so he proposed this deal. And the situation in front of him is either that Wu Sangui wants to use ordinary horses to fool him, or that he himself is short of horses! Geng Jingzhong thought that the former was more likely, Wu Sangui could get tens of thousands of good horses from Tibet every year, so the lack of horses would definitely not be able to talk about it, and his Fujian would not even have a channel to buy military horses, and the situation in Yunnan was simply 108,000 miles stronger than Fujian.

"Thank you Brother Tai for reminding me, the younger brother still has some ways, and this Mrs. Wu can't do anything to me yet." After finishing the compilation, he went back to the room with a few guards! On the plate on the table, there were still a few scattered dumplings, which were broken, as if they were helping Geng Jingzhong scold that Mrs. Wu.

The two of them here are a little strange, they just said so energetically, why did they leave suddenly! Alas, I originally thought that this person was quite extraordinary, maybe he could manage Wufutai from the background, it seems that this person is not nosy.

Back in the room, Geng Jingzhong discussed with Gu Ping to see how to deal with this matter. In essence, this matter is still because of him, whether it is for himself or for the sake of the people in several places, in short, the whole thing cannot continue any longer.

"Shizi, should we send someone to inform Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, and tell him about this! Even if he wants to levy horses, then he should give money, such a robbery" Gu Ping also said with a face full of indignation. Although he has not been with Geng Jingzhong for a long time, he is also one of the most loyal people, he is the person next to Geng Jimao, he was Geng Jimao's guard at the age of eighteen, and he has been with Geng Jimao for twenty years. Originally, the position of the commander of the guards was to be selected among the commanders of the two guards battalions, but after Geng Jimao found out, he sent his henchman and the head of the guards over.

"It was because of me, so I can't sit idly by. If this matter spreads in the future, it will have a great impact on me. Also, our artillery is all good things, how can we exchange it for these bad horses! Geng Jingzhong put his hands behind his back, kept squatting and walking, and said. Wu Sangui really wanted to send someone to inform him, so that he could know that we were not easy to fool. I'll write a letter when I go back, and you send someone to Pingxi Wangfu. ”

"Good son, but what should I do with this corrupt official in front of me?"

"Hmph, this is not Fujian, we can't come openly, but don't you allow me to do it secretly? Such a corrupt official should have been punished and taken out and beheaded, but after all, this is not under our control, so it can only be like this. There is still time in the afternoon, you can take some people to explore the city more carefully, and it is best to investigate the prefect's yamen as well, so that you can act well tonight. Geng Jingzhong stopped and said slowly.

"Just look at it!" Gu Ping turned around and went out to run errands.

Geng Jingzhong commanded the outside world: "Prepare pen and ink for me!" Then he came to the table and sat down. Generally, there will be pen, ink, paper and inkstone in the inn for guests to use, so it is easy to prepare. Geng Jingzhong picked up the pen and began to write to Wu Sangui. After thinking about it for a while, he expressed his meaning in a tactful tone, saying that he valued the next transaction very much, and hoped to get a batch of usable military horses, not bad horses. Originally, he wanted to build a grassroots construction and Wu Sangui, but then gave up this idea.

First, Wu Sangui's subordinates were very complicated, including the elite Guanning Iron Cavalry, as well as the troops who had taken refuge from the peasant army, as well as the officers and soldiers of the local guards. The number of Guanning Iron Cavalry was too small, only 8,000 people, and most of the others were officers and soldiers of the former peasant army, and later Wu Sangui also subdued some bandits in Yungui, so it was impossible to maintain strong discipline among them. The same is true of the western election officials appointed by Wu Sangui, most of these people are Wu Sangui's cronies, helping Wu Sangui collect money, and it is estimated that Wu Sangui is not unaware of their collection of the common people.

After writing the letter, Geng Jingzhong sealed the letter and handed it over to the guards for safekeeping, and went out again to enjoy the scenery of the ancient mansion of Guilin. There is a way that Guilin's landscape is the best in the world, although you can't get a glimpse of the whole picture, but it is good to go to the edge of the Li River to see. The city wall of Guilin Mansion is very magnificent, almost all of them are built with large stones, but the height is not high enough, and it is not as good as the city wall of Fuzhou Mansion, but this thick city wall is also an excellent barrier. There is an old saying here: "Iron beats Chongqing City, and Guilin Mansion is born". The stone city wall is indeed stronger than the "iron".

Guilin Mansion City is divided into two parts, the prefect's yamen on the left, and the governor's yamen on the right, both sides are very magnificent, but because of the tradition of officials in the past dynasties not repairing the yamen, this prefect's yamen looks a little old. If you really want to talk about it, the most imposing building in Guilin Mansion is the Guangxi Gongyuan. This place originally belonged to the Jingjiang palace of the former Ming Dynasty, but unfortunately it was destroyed. King Jingjiang is the most special one among the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty, because he is the only side branch clan in the Ming Dynasty who is directly canonized as the king; In addition, this vassal king was the first to establish a feudal domain, but it was the last to perish.

The Jingjiang palace was built in accordance with the regulations made by the imperial court on the vassal palace, among which the palace and the imperial garden included forty or fifty places, such as the platform, the pavilion, the pavilion, the room, and the office, and the area was larger than Geng Jingzhong's Geng Wangzhuang. It is a pity that in the ninth year of Shunzhi, the peasant army conquered Guilin, and the new owner of the palace, the Qing general Kong Youde, committed suicide in defeat and set fire to the palace, and the palace was reduced to ashes. Within a few years, the Qing court built a tribute courtyard on this basis, which was even more magnificent than the governor's yamen, and it was the best building in Guilin.

While Geng Jingzhong was wandering around, Gu Ping also took his subordinates to investigate around. The matter of the prefect Wu Pingfeng is very easy to investigate, and with a little inquiry, you can know that what you heard in the store today is true. In addition, I also heard a lot of evil things that this Wu Futai did. Every time there was one more, Gu Ping's guards became even more angry, and after an hour, several people no longer checked Wu Pingfeng's deeds, anyway, this person was destined not to survive tonight.
