Chapter 111: Sooner or Later

When I arrived at the Taiping Army family camp next to Liuyang Gate, it was bounded by Liuyangmen Street, and a piece of residential houses on Dongzheng Street to the south was where the women's camp was located, and the houses in the area of Beizheng Street to the north were men's camps. Xiao Yungui and Hong Yun'er acted separately, Xiao Yungui went to the men's camp by himself, and Hong Yuner went to the women's camp by himself, and the two sides of the men's and women's camps felt like going to the toilet.

When he arrived at the camp, Xiao Yungui met Xiao Chaogui's biological father Jiang Wanxing, his adoptive father Xiao Yusheng and his titular father-in-law Huang Weizheng, and also met Xiao Chaogui's two brothers surnamed Jiang and two brothers-in-law surnamed Xiao.

Jiang Wanxing is a typical nagging old man, pulling Xiao Yungui's non-stop third and third children, and talking about the suffering he suffered along the way, so that Xiao Yungui couldn't get tired of listening to it. The two brothers surnamed Jiang are also talkative, constantly complaining, and always saying something useless, as if Xiao Yungui owes them.

Jiang Wanxing has a total of four sons, Xiao Chaogui is the third, he couldn't support Xiao Yusheng's family when he was young, Jiang Wanxing's young son died early, and now only Jiang Caiwang and Jiang Caisheng are left with two sons. Xiao Yungui had the impression that the talents of these two brothers were indeed mediocre, that is, they were afraid of death and had no ink, but now they were really disappointed, these two people were not people who did things, and they could not be considered for appointment at all.

Xiao Yusheng and Xiao Chaogui's two brothers-in-law, Xiao Chaofu and Xiao Chaolong, did not dare to open their mouths on the side, when they were in Yong'an, Xiao Chaogui used Brother Tian to punish Xiao's father and son several times, so when they saw Xiao Yungui, they were still a little frightened. Xiao Chaofu and Xiao Chaolong are even more unbearable than the Jiang brothers, Xiao Chaolong even drank and smoked opium, so Xiao Chaogui used Brother Tian to punish him harshly, but Xiao Chaofu was slightly better, and he was slightly closer to Xiao Chaogui, but in Xiao Yungui's opinion, these two people couldn't hold up the scene.

Hong Xuanjiao's biological father Huang Weizheng is even more trembling, to be honest, their Wang family was really rectified by Brother Tian in the past, and now Huang Weizheng's father and son still have palpitations. Huang Weizheng also has a son, one is named Huang Yuxiu and the other is Huang Shengtong. After Xiao Yungui and the father and son said a few words, they found that the Huang family had read some books, and there was some ink in their stomachs, so they might be able to win over them. But Xiao Chaogui had punished the Zhutang Wang family before, and the Wang family has always been Hong Xiuquan's cousin, whether it can be used or not, Xiao Yungui still has some concerns in his heart.

After saying some innocuous comforting words, Xiao Yungui asked about Xiao Youhe, saying that his aunt lived with him in the women's camp. Xiao Yungui breathed a sigh of relief, secretly funny in his heart, this child is still troubled by the four-eyed sister, and comforted the three families with a few words at the moment, and then instructed his subordinates to help the three families clean up the softness, and move to the governor's yamen together today.

And Hong Yun'er at the women's camp encountered a lot of embarrassment, only to see the daughters of several families, Xiao Chaofu's wife Li's arms A two-year-old child came over crookedly, threw herself into her arms and called her mother, making Hong Yun'er's face flushed.

But Xiao Youhe still looks very cute, with a red face, two pigtails on his head, dressed like a female baby, and speaking angrily, which made Hong Yun'er's motherhood tumble in her heart, and finally hugged Xiao Youhe. This hug Xiao Youhe ate and laughed in Hong Yun'er's arms, which made her even more cute, and Hong Yun'er gradually fell in love with this child.

Huang's mother Du's family, Xiao's mother's Zhang's family, Jiang's family, and Xiao's daughters-in-law came up and chatted with Hong Yun'er for a long time, Hong Yun'er comforted a few words, and didn't want to talk nonsense, so she arranged for female soldiers to help them pack their luggage, and also began to move to the governor's yamen.

At about the same time, Xiao Yungui and Hong Yun'er both returned to the governor's yamen with the relatives of the king of the west and the queen of the west. When I entered the gate, I saw Zhu Changlin and Wei Helin hurriedly greeted them.

"Lord Xi, you can come back, Boss Wei and I have been waiting for you for a long time." Zhu Changlin stepped forward and saluted repeatedly.

As soon as Xiao Yungui saw that it was these two people, he knew what was going on with the two of them, and turned his head to Hong Yun'er and said, "You settle down first, I'll greet Boss Zhu and Boss Wei." ”

Hong Yun'er was reluctant to let go of Xiao Youhe at this time, hugged and kissed, I really liked it, so I casually responded, and took Xiao's, Jiang's, Huang and other families into the backyard to settle down, Xiao Yungui smiled and greeted Zhu Changlin and Wei Helin to the lobby to serve tea and talk.

Before entering the hall and sitting down, Wei Helin couldn't wait to ask: "The prince of the west, if the prince of the west and the prince of the east have entered the city today, why have they copied a lot of big and rich businessmen in the past few days?" I wonder what they have done? ”

Xiao Yungui remained silent, took a sip of the tea on the escort of the West Palace, and said lightly: "That is after His Royal Highness the East King entered the city, he inspected the people who secretly communicated with the demons in the city, and after finding out the evidence, he confiscated the house according to the laws of heaven." ”

Zhu Changlin frowned and clenched his fists and said: "His Royal Highness the King of the West, Tang Yinong, the old boss below, was also questioned by the house, Boss Tang is a pure white man, since you entered the city, Lord Xi, he has been keeping his duty, and there is no secret way to clear the demons." Moreover, Boss Tang and I signed a secret agreement with the King of the West at that time, and the King of the West should be clear. ”

Xiao Yungui waved his hand, his face turned cold, and he looked at the two of them and said coldly: "A few letters copied from Tang Yinong's house, all of which were letters secretly exchanged between him and He Mian and Huang Mian, and there were many words of collusion between Tang Yinong and Huang Mian, He Mian and others, intending to take advantage of the opening of the city to do business, and transport all the family wealth in the city. Where is this outgoing going? Isn't it transported to the Qing Demon Realm, what is it to fund the Qing Demon? ”

Zhu Changlin and Wei Helin secretly complained in their hearts, among the rich merchants in the city, Huang Mian had already fled from the city, and after the opening of the city, many families received letters from Huang Mian, and he secretly contacted He Ying and others in the city as an internal response, planning to smuggle out the family property trapped in the city out of the city, and at the same time to encourage the rich merchants in the city to flee. Huang Mian and He Ming's letters, Zhu and Wei also received them, but the two burned them immediately after reading them, and the two felt that it was too risky to escape at this time, so they did not reply to Huang Mian and He Ming. Unexpectedly, Tang Yinong also received the letter, Tang Yinong must have been weak and scared, and he actually wanted to escape, so he exchanged letters with Huang Mian and He Ying and made an appointment to act, but he didn't expect that the Taiping Army would suddenly make a move, and the letters were not destroyed, and all of them fell into the hands of the Taiping Army.

Originally, Xiao Yungui still felt a little guilty about the wealthy businessmen in the city, but he didn't expect that Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, would find a lot of evidence from the rich merchants' mansions. It turned out that since the chessboard was donated, the wealthy businessmen in the city were unwilling to be squeezed out by Xiao Yungui, and under the tandem of Huang Mian and He Ming, several official eunuchs, they plotted to smuggle money and grain out of the city or bury the money and grain on the spot, intending to flee with their families. It seems that these wealthy merchants saw the difficulty of smuggling money and planned to hide the money and grain first, even if the Taiping army came to ask for it again, let him search all the ground, he would not find a penny.

Just unexpectedly, Yang Xiuqing only entered the city on the second day, the Taiping army moved quickly, and copied a large number of letters in He Ming's house, all of which were replies from wealthy merchants in the city. When it was copied to Tang Yi's farmhouse, this Tang boss was still digging a cellar to hide silver in his study, and was arrested by the Taiping army. After receiving the reply, Yang Xiuqing ordered that when the house was raided, it was necessary to dig three feet into the ground, and sure enough, a large number of money, grain, gold and jade utensils rose out of each large household, and a rough calculation showed that the silver taels alone cost seven million taels, and the rest of the gold and jade utensils, precious calligraphy and paintings, and antique ornaments were countless, and the holy treasury of the Taiping Army became rich overnight.

Afterwards, Yang Xiuqing summoned Xiao Yungui to the mansion and told him in detail about the matter, which made Xiao Yungui break out in a cold sweat, he couldn't imagine that these big wealthy businessmen were really cunning, and they actually repaired the plank road openly and secretly Chen Cang, planning to smuggle the money and grain out of the city or bury it on the spot, and the money and grain donated to him was indeed just a drop in the bucket.

Xiao Yungui then coldly said what Tang Yinong and a group of wealthy businessmen had done, Zuihou looked at the two stunned people and said: "You two are very good, you don't have correspondence with Huang Mian and He Yuan, and you are the most active in paying money and food, so this king has not done anything to the two of you so far, and you two should understand." ”

Zhu Changlin and Wei Helin listened to the cold sweat dripping down, people die for money, birds die for food, it is normal for everyone to want to keep their family wealth, digging the cellar to hide some gold and silver is also worried about being squeezed dry by the Taiping army, but they didn't expect to be found out by the Taiping army, this is suspected of concealment, plus the letters exchanged with Huang Mian and He Yin, it seems that the crime of this demon is confirmed.

Zhu Changlin asked sneeringly: "I wonder how the Heavenly King and the Eastern King will deal with Boss Tang and them?" ”

Xiao Yungui took a sip of tea and said: "The demon is naturally the crime of killing the head, but we will not do anything like the Qing Demon, and their family will still leave their lives, but they will be punished with hard labor to atone for their crimes." ”

Wei Helin hurriedly said: "Lord Xi, is this too much?" The innocent family should also let them go, people like Boss Tang, Boss Zhu and I are willing to pay money to redeem his life, and ask the prince of the west to raise his noble hand. ”

Xiao Yungui put the tea bowl in a heavy and said angrily: "I have already said before, if anyone dares to fool this king, this king will not be polite!" Tang Yinong's fate is already very good, and the family can still save his life! Go and have a look outside the Great West Gate at noon today! The bannermen in the city will be killed without leaving any of them! He Tang Yinong died to protect his family, he should be content! ”

Zhu Changlin and Wei Helin were taken aback, seeing that Xiao Yungui was really angry, they were afraid that they would be unlucky if they continued to talk about it, so they had to look at each other at the moment, sat down tremblingly, and didn't dare to speak again.

Xiao Yungui stood up and paced a few steps, and said irritably: "This king wanted to influence them with benevolence and benevolence, but they just wanted this king to use barbaric means!" This king understands now, they just don't cry when they don't see the coffin! Since they don't want to be virtuous, let the king show them what barbarism is! There are so many rich merchants in the whole city, and now only the two of you are sitting here talking to this king, what kind of face do you let this king have to plead with the king of heaven and the king of the east for them?! ”

The two lowered their heads, even more afraid to speak, Xiao Yungui walked a few steps irritably, this incident clearly told him that he was facing a cruel class struggle, not at first he thought that Huairou is good These people will throw themselves into their arms, because he Xiao Yungui is now the leader of a large group of mud-legged people, and on the opposite side is the official eunuch and rich businessman, these two groups of people themselves are not the same kind of people, they are two groups that are completely opposed, if he Xiao Yungui does not completely reshuffle the cards, sooner or later he will be calculated by those people, it is just a matter of time.
