4-15 Buying land
"Damn, these two are ninjas." Liu Ziguang was furious, and was about to go into the water to chase after him, when suddenly there were two small pointed things on the water not far away, and the surface of the water was moving in the direction of the river bank, and when he looked closely, it seemed to be the tail of the scabbard, and he couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
Ninja is at this level, using the scabbard as a snorkel.
"Shoot at those two things!" Liu Ziguang gave an order, everyone took out the crossbow on their backs and shot at the two snorkels, and soon the two scabbards disappeared quickly, and a stream of blood appeared on the water, Liu Ziguang was afraid that it would not be safe, so he took two people to jump on the boat and chase it over, but he couldn't find the body where there were blood stains on the water, Liu Ziguang searched around the sparkling moonlight on the river surface at dusk, the river breeze was far less sighted than during the day, and suddenly a string of small bubbles floated from the heart of the river, and people who didn't care about it must have thought that the big fish spit bubbles, but Liu Ziguang didn't think so, he motioned to his subordinates to row the boat over, picked up a harpoon, and threw it fiercely at the trajectory of the bubbles。
A string of larger bubbles rose from the water, and then a corpse with a harpoon on its back surfaced, apparently one of the ninjas, but Huang Zhen and another ninja have not yet landed, this is the first assassination business since the establishment of the South Factory, no matter what, it can't be missed, there is a bamboo artemisia more than one zhang long on the boat, Liu Ziguang copied it up smoothly, and poked the river here in the water at least three zhang deep, no matter how powerful the ninja is, it is impossible not to surface for a long time without oxygen supply, not to mention that there is also an object that needs to be protected, and sure enough, as Liu Ziguang expected, a corpse with a round stomach floated up from the bottom of the water, and the boat shook it over, and it was the target of this operation- Huang Zhen's corpse.
At night, the boats on the river began to increase again, and the killers who had finished their business couldn't care about chasing and killing another escaped ninja, so they cut off Huang Zhen's head and put it in their pockets, as for the housekeepers, servants, and boatmen, they had already been slaughtered by Sun Gang before Liu Ziguang could speak, since they came out to kill people, they couldn't have the kindness of women, Liu Ziguang didn't say anything, and ordered them to dispose of the corpses, and the boat got on his own canopy boat.
The passenger boat that Huang Zhen was on was chiseled through, the body was tied to the cabin with a rope, and with the influx of the river, it gradually sank to the bottom of the water, and it was dark in the middle of the night.
Although a ninja ran away, but the task was finally completed, everyone happily took the people on the awning boat, sailed in the direction of Yangzhou for some distance, found a river fork, sank the boat in it, and got on a clipper that had been waiting nearby for a long time and returned to the capital.
The head of Huangzhen was handed over by Liu Ziguang to Li Lianying, the commander of the Nanchang and the head of internal exercises, and Li Gonggong quietly moved the corners of his mouth and said: "Liu Qianhu really lived up to the high expectations of the Queen Mother, this thing is very good, you have made a great contribution to the court and Nanchang." "What did Liu Ziguang say in his heart, the court is not the court, I killed the officials of Jinyiwei, and it was actually a meritorious service, whose court is this court, of course, he didn't say so, but he mentioned the problem of manpower and funds, he told Li Lianying that his thousands of brothers all want to serve the court, that is a battle-hardened veteran, and he is enthusiastic about serving the country, and he hopes that the queen mother can be fulfilled, and then these brothers of Ziguang Car Dealership have to delay the business of the car dealer in order to perform many monitoring tasks, which affects the income, although the brothers take it as their duty to serve the court and don't care about these small money, but if this continues, the car dealer will go bankrupt, but it can't be openly and honestly squatting everywhere to monitor and track, but it affects the normal of the South FactoryBusiness development.
I hope that the Admiral will be able to see what is going on and give the brothers a little bit of help. In addition, his own river house, as the Yamen of the South Factory, is indeed too small, with the growth of personnel and the improvement of data files, a larger Yamen is urgently needed.
Li Lianying thought for a moment and replied: "Recently, the imperial court has also been very nervous, and some of the rich lands in the south of the Yangtze River under the control of the nine thousand years old do not pay taxes at all, and the silver is sent to the household department, but the hard work of the Empress Dowager Nian'er Lang will take out a part of the internal money as military salary, and there are also those soldiers and horses of Liu Qianhu who are far away in Shandong, if they can be transferred to the capital to be incorporated into the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, it would be great." "Li Lianying's little abacus played well, and she incorporated Liu Ziguang's troops who were good at fighting into the Five Cities Terracotta Division, which not only strengthened the strength of her own side, but also separated her relationship with Liu Ziguang, which really killed two birds with one stone.
"It is really unbelievable to come to the capital to be an official soldier, and I thank the Queen Mother on behalf of the brothers, and thank General Manager Li. I'll fix a letter and call them in. Liu Ziguang pretended to be surprised.
Secretly, he made his own little calculations, anyway, the day of a coup d'état is not far off, since you want to annex my people, it will be as you wish, but it will be difficult to say who will annex whom at that time.
Li Lianying didn't expect Liu Ziguang to agree so quickly, she felt weird, but she couldn't think of anything wrong.
Haha continued: "Liu Qianhu looks at the affairs of the yamen, I am afraid that it is not easy to find a decent mansion in the city, but we can find one outside the city, whether it is to buy a ready-made house or to find a piece of land to rebuild, as long as Liu Qianhu says a word, the matter of silver does not need to be considered." "***************************************************************** said goodbye to Li Lianying, Liu Ziguang immediately asked Li Yan to go to Jinan in person, integrate the soldiers and horses stationed in the local area, recruit some recruits from Shandong to fill the position, and then send a thousand soldiers with actual combat experience into Beijing and be assigned to the Five Cities Terracotta Division stationed in ** of a thousand people, he didn't plan to move, this is the last secret power, and it can't be used until the last moment.
In addition, he wrote another letter and asked Li Yan to give Addison some gadgets that needed to be developed.
The location of the Nanchang Yamen cost Liu Ziguang a lot of brains, and there were many garrisons in the north of the capital, and it was a big river out of the city, which was obviously not suitable for the west of the city, and the space in the west was not large, and there were many water networks, which affected the mobility of the troops.
Don't think about the east of the city, it is where the imperial tomb is located, of course, you can't occupy land at will. The only feasible thing is to avoid the mass graves in the area of Yuhuatai outside the south gate, in the southeast of Jubaomen, Liu Ziguang took a fancy to a flat field, and there are two large mansions next to it, just requisitioned together, this year there is no land protection law, whether you are arable land or fish ponds, as long as the land and houses that the court fancies, that is not a sentence, but the people's love and protection of the land is far more than Liu Ziguang's people in that era, although Liu Ziguang has the power and soldiers in his hands, but he is not a bully, he carried the silver given by Li Lianying, and took more than a dozen subordinates to find the farmers who were working in the fieldsA widow who has no heirs is in charge.
A lot of people are talking about the idea of this land, and a group of people just came to see the land. Then those tenants persuaded that although this land was a fertile field, the harvest was good every year, but the two houses were murderous, and the Yan family originally had two brothers, and later in order to compete for the family property, the younger brother killed the elder brother and annexed the elder brother's real estate and land, and then slowly the house began to haunt, and the younger brother was scared to death.
If you buy it, you just need to buy the land. Liu Ziguang smiled and politely thanked the tenants, and led his men to run towards the Yan family's house, and when they got closer, the two houses were dilapidated, the courtyard wall lacking bricks and tiles had collapsed in many places, and there were more than a dozen horses tied under the big locust tree at the door, and a lively guy was sitting in the shade of the tree and watching the horses.
Liu Ziguang knew that these horses were those guests who came to buy land, it seemed that the other party was also a rich and powerful person, and came out with so many entourages, although the matter of buying and selling was first-come, first-served, but if it had not been sold, it would be the highest price first, Liu Ziguang and the others turned over and dismounted and walked straight to the house, but they didn't think that the slave who watched the horses would jump to the gate first, and stop the road, and said arrogantly: "What are you going to do?" ”
"The dog slave dares to stop my lord!" Sun Gang was about to beat people with his fists on the spot, Liu Ziguang stopped him, and said with a pleasant face: "We are here to buy land, if you are a member of the Yan family's house, please trouble you to go in and spread the word, if you are not from the Yan family, please get out of the way." Seeing that Liu Ziguang was not humble or arrogant, he was reasonable and modest, and the group was all covered in satin, with steel knives on their waists, and his tone softened a little, but his nostrils were still facing the sky, and he hugged his arms and said: "The land of the Yan family, my lord has already bought it, so let's buy it elsewhere." ”
"I don't know who your master is, you just came, why don't you let us in? Isn't that too overbearing? Liu Ziguang looked this slave up and down, and said in his heart, looking at the virtue of your minion, your lord may not be a good person, he must bully other people's widows, lose their jobs, and lower prices to buy land.
"Overbearing?" The minion sneered
"I'm doing this for your good, if I put you in and provoke my master to be angry, your ten or so lives will be explained. Acquaintances, hurry up, I didn't see grandpa...."Before the words were finished, Liu Ziguang slapped his big mouth, slapped the person directly, and when he flipped in the air, everyone realized that the name behind the hem of the robe he had just lifted turned out to be red official pants and official boots with black and white soles.
It turned out to be people from the official mansion, and everyone pouted disapprovingly, and now we are also eating the court meal, who is afraid of whom, and walked straight to the Yan Mansion.
"Who?" Two guys with sabers on their waists, dressed in civilian clothes, but wearing official boots at their feet, jumped out from behind the shadow wall and asked.
Liu Ziguang waved his hand, and someone on both sides had already stepped forward to subdue the two, and the group continued to move forward, entering the main hall of the Yan Mansion at the second gate, where seven or eight men in strong suits stood in the courtyard, and in the hall sat a woman with a haggard description and a young man in white clothes with a slight beard were talking.
Seeing a group of strong men suddenly breaking in from outside, the people in the courtyard were very surprised, and the young man in Chinese clothes sat on the Taishi chair and asked, "Who is from outside?" ”
"We're here to buy land, just like you." Liu Ziguang replied. Walking straight to the hall, the two men in strong suits wanted to come over to block them, but they stared at him with sharp eyes, hesitated a little, Liu Ziguang had already arrived in the hall, and the two groups of men outside confronted each other, both sides were armed with weapons, and they were also equally arrogant, no one knew the details of the other party, and they didn't start immediately.
"Buy land...."The young man in Huafu smiled and said to himself: "There are still people who want to compete with Dongchang for land." The chapters were sorted, and the original 4-1 to 4-1o were placed in the third volume because they were born in Shandong
