Chapter 788: Who Can Give It
Cheng Daqi naturally didn't care about anyone from the palace, the sky he could see was Zhao Jin, and immediately ordered to arrest people.
After inquiring all the way south, Qiao Baihu also knew what kind of character Zhao Jin was, and after being arrested, he didn't dare to put up any shelf in the palace, but just begged for mercy with a smiling face, saying that he didn't have anything, just curious to inquire about the news.
Cheng Daqi didn't kill immediately, he was about to jump when he heard the two words of Wangfu, but if Zhao Jin said, he wouldn't be soft, and the news was immediately sent to Qingjiangpu by the fast horse, Zhao Jin's reply made Cheng Daqi breathe a sigh of relief, "Since it's just an inquiry, then twenty boards per person, let them get out after the fight." β
Since the other party did not clearly provoke, or even explain the intention, then there is no point in killing this wave, and there are many more to come.
When this news went to Pizhou, the urgent report from Xuzhou also arrived in Qingjiangpu, this urgent news was bad news, the bodies of several people in charge of Luwangfu Zhou were recognized, and they were urgently reporting to Weihuilu Wangfu.
According to normal, these corpses will stay in Xiayi County for a long time, until they are decomposed and unrecognizable, and then this matter will pass like this, Luwangfu doesn't know where these subordinates have gone, in this era, it is common to go out to another province for more than ten days and months, and then guess after this time limit, it is another toss, and there will be no reaction at all before and after half a year.
But this time it was a coincidence, there happened to be a catcher coming to Xiayi to run an errand in Shangqiu, and by the way, I went to see the corpse, this week the steward Yiyu stayed in Shangqiu, and many people in the city went to flatter, and the catcher who came to do business also saw him from afar, and the corpse had not changed, and he immediately recognized it.
The people of Luwangfu died violently outside the city of Xiayi in a thief outside the city, from the Xiayi County Order to the following officers are panicked, there must be a big trouble afterwards, if possible, must be covered, but the fast catcher from the city is not a person, the corpse is not seen by a person, and if you want to hide it, you are afraid of being poked out.
Up and down helplessly, I could only pinch my nose and report the case, and by the way, I also reported it to Xuzhou, and the news from Shangqiu that the Zhou steward of Luwangfu and his party went to Xuzhou, and then died in Xiayi County, which is adjacent to Xuzhou, everyone guessed that it was inseparable from Xuzhou, but no one dared to say it clearly, for this speculation, everyone also pinched their noses, after all, people died in the territory of Guide Mansion, Henan.
"If it weren't for the fact that the eldest brother had already suppressed Henan Guide Mansion, I was afraid that the people of Xiayi County would throw the corpse on the ground in Xuzhou, according to the news over there, at the latest, half a month later, Wei Huilu Wangfu should have received the news."
"That Zhao Jin in Xuzhou opened a salt market and bazaar, people from three provinces and eight provinces are here to buy and sell trade, and there is a wine shop, in recent years, the popular Hanjing wine is the industry of this Zhao Jin, I heard that the business has also done outside the mouth of the Tartar, in addition, two-thirds of the fields in Xuzhou are in his hands, in recent years, he has been driving the people to build water conservancy, digging ditches, the original barren dry land has become a good watering land, this Zhao Jin used ruthless means to lay down these fields, that Yunshan Temple and a Zhuangzi people were washed, The amount of gold and silver treasures in the hands of these two families is very amazing, in addition to Xuzhou, this Zhao Jin also has a grange in Suzhou, Fengyang Prefecture, and an industrial Zhuangzi in Pizhou, in Henan Guidefu, and at the junction of the three provinces."
In the Lu Wang's Mansion in Ziyang City, Yanzhou Mansion, Shandong, Director Shi sat in his small courtyard room, listening to the reports of his subordinates, he leaned on the bed, his eyes closed as if he was about to fall asleep, but the few people standing below were not Qiao Baihu and them, they looked like ordinary merchants, and their accents were not from Yanzhou Mansion.
"Zhao Jin's other important industry is the barren grass beach on the east bank of Luoma Lake, the salt fields in Haizhou to cook salt for grass, the barren grass beach over there has always been not allowed to be cultivated, prepare grass to cook salt, this Zhao Jin occupied that side, I don't know how to get tens of thousands of displaced people to go over, actually occupied a large piece of land, and now it is a large industry
"Yutou Town on Luoma Lake is similar to Jining Prefecture, and it is almost Zhao Jin's private property, and Yunshan Commercial Bank and Sunjia Commercial Bank control the most profitable industries in the town."
"Zhaojin over there in Qingjiangpu also has an industry, called Qingjiang City, the salt market and bazaar in Xuzhou are three provinces and eight provinces, and this Qingjiang City is the intersection of goods from the north and south, and the world's wealth is also rolling in it, and I don't know how much there is every day."
"Then there is some faint news, Yangzhou salt merchants and Zhao Jin are said to have fought a few vicious battles and killed a lot of people, and now he can also be the master of the business on Yangzhou Salt Road"
Director Shi's eyes had already opened, and although he was deep in the city, his face was also a little suspicious, and he couldn't help but interrupt and said, "You just said that he was only in his early twenties this year?" β
"It is said that he was born in the twenty-eighth year of Wanli."
"Only twenty-one years old"
"Just now you mentioned that Nanjing Jinyi Wei commanded the team to lead the team to the north and broke up in Xuzhou inexplicably, you say it again, because of what?"
"The lord forgives the sin, the little ones don't know, those things just now, or no one in Nanzhili knows, or you can inquire about it by asking, as for the matter of the brocade guard leading the team to the north, there are too many sayings, and they are all absurd, some people say that they saw the dragon in Xuzhou and were scattered, and some people say that it is uneven distribution of spoils and internal strife" The person who answered this question was very thoughtful.
Seeing that the dragon was scattered, Changshi Si Wenxuan was very impatient, and waved his hand there and said, "How many cavalry did they have in Xuzhou?" β
"There is no accurate number for this, some people say it is thousands, and some people say it is more than 10,000."
"Ridiculous, how many cavalry can the entire Ming Dynasty mustache, and what is the minimum number?" Si Wenxuan raised his voice and said, he was in a bad mood.
The man who answered was a little apprehensive and said, "It is more than three thousand."
Shi Si Wenxuan, the right head of the Lu Wangfu, let out a long breath, his face was calm, and after being silent for a while, he said slowly: "Continue to do your business, this official asks you about Xuzhou is to ask, you are in Xuzhou, and you must do your duty in Nanzhili, don't worry about Lu Wangfu, after all, our palace is only from Shandong, and it is not easy to reach out to Nanzhili." β
The people below only agreed, Director Shi took a sip of the tea bowl, and these people who reported it said goodbye with interest, he had been doing business in Lu Wangfu for so many years, Si Wenxuan was very thoughtful, he didn't put all his hopes on that Qiao Baihu, and also called the business name that worked for the palace to inquire, these people are normal businessmen on weekdays, and they don't publicize the relationship with Lu Wangfu outside, and they don't have to worry about being shown up by others when they go to Xuzhou and other places in Nanzhili.
"Master, the Josher has come back and wants to ask to see him." A bulletin sounded outside.
Si Wenxuan's face sank, then he shook his head helplessly, and said, "Let him come in and arrange a seat for him to sit on." β
Twenty boards per person to fight, although it is impossible to kill and not hurt the muscles and bones, but the yamen messengers are very measured, and after the fight, they will definitely act for dozens of days.
The dejected Qiao Baihu walked in, limping very uncomfortably, Si Wenxuan's expression was very gentle at this time, he sat up straight and pointed to the prepared seat and said, "Qiao She still has injuries on his body, sit down and talk so as not to be uncomfortable." β
These concerns moved Qiao Baihu to cry, and he thanked him again, and now Si Wenxuan sat down after showing an impatient look on his face.
"Some people say that last year, Nanjing Jinyi Wei commanded a few thousand cavalry to go to Xuzhou, and then was scattered and scared away, no one can explain this number, some people say 10,000, some people say 3,000, how many people are there?"
"How is it possible to exceed 10,000, Liaozhen, Jizhen, Xuanfu plus Jingying, and then counting our Shandong may be able to exceed 10,000, Nanzhili is already a small horse, how can there be such a large number." In the end, he was born as a military attachΓ©, and he understands this very well.
Qiao Baihu pondered for a moment and said: "The horse team is very imposing, the queue is open, and the people are often miscalculated when the layman sees it, but the horse team of several big camps in Nanzhili will not add up too much, and he will not hide it from Lord Changshi, and his subordinates will go all the way south to Pizhou, and I have heard people talk about it intermittently, saying that the deputy general of Wolf Mountain, the general of Xuzhou and several bigwigs in Nanjing have taken out the family capital, and the subordinates can estimate that between 1500 and 2,005, it will only be less, not more." β
Right Chief Shi Si Wenxuan was obviously relieved, and was about to nod, but asked thoughtfully: "I don't know the art of war, and I don't know martial arts, what kind of strength is this thousand five to two thousand five cavalry." β
Qiao Baihu coughed twice, and said a little slowly: "If you don't attack the city, if the grain and grass are worry-free, you can run rampant north of the Yangtze River, and the imperial court will have to mobilize the border army and horse team to exterminate it, but I'm afraid that it will hurt my muscles and bones at that time." β
This Qiao Baihu himself said a little distracted, and after finishing speaking, he was busy confessing to the director Shi, and said with a wry smile: "These years are all peaceful seasons, and the subordinates are just guessing, after all, the things on the battlefield are not accurate, and they have not been fought with real knives and guns, so it is useless to say." β
"Anyway, if you can scare such a team away, then Zhao Jin can take out thousands of regiments to practice, if you make noise in the township, there are more than 10,000 people" Director Shi took a deep breath, I don't know if these words are spoken to Qiao Baihu, or to himself.
Seeing that Si Wenxuan was distracted there, Qiao Baihu didn't dare to disturb, and when Si Wenxuan waved his hand, he bowed down and retreated.
Shi Si Wenxuan, the right chief of the Lu Palace, thought for a long time in the side room, and when he came out, he did not go back to his signature room to run an errand, but arranged for someone to go to the palace to serve Xiong Zaoxiong's father-in-law, and made an appointment to drink tea together in the evening.
