Chapter 50: Wang Yongjiang
"Brother Qiao, don't worry, make things clear, there are guns, and you can't turn the sky over a few nights."
Qiao Ruixuan calmed down and said: "Zhang Shao, not long after you left Fengtian, a group of people rushed to the Four Seas Grain Store and took away more than a dozen businessmen who were meeting and partying, and Brother Liu was no exception, according to this group of people, they were all from the Finance Bureau, and it was Director Gao who wanted to talk to everyone about the tax in the North Market, and I was supervising the construction outside, so I was not arrested." ”
"After the accident, have you ever looked for Master Zhang?"
"I found it, Division Commander Zhang is not in Fengtian, it is said that I went out to review the army, I arranged for someone to inform Division Commander Zhang, and then I came to you again."
Zhang Tinglan also remembered at this time, Zhang Zuolin went out to review the army or the plan they made together, because Gao Ming was Zhang Xiluan's confidant after all, so Zhang Zuolin did not come forward for the time being, and handed over everything to Zhang Tinglan, and after Gao Ming was taken, Zhang Zuolin came forward to intercede.
At this time, even if Gao Ming is not held accountable, it is enough to drive him away from the Finance Bureau. was originally a very haodejihua, but I didn't expect Gao Ming to do it in this space and detain Liu Shucheng and others, this thing is really interesting.
"Brother Qiao, you don't have to worry, as long as the person is fine, I will immediately take someone back to Fengtian to rescue the person."
Zhang Tinglan left 200 people to escort the booty slowly, and he and Sun Anhu took 100 people to ride back to Fengtian quickly, and after the distribution was completed, Zhang Tinglan hurried back to Fengtian.
The birch bark factory is less than fifty miles away from Fengtian, and the war horse can rush back as soon as it is happy, and when the sky is bright in the east, Fengtian is already in sight, everyone clears the Gao family in the first half of the night, and marches in a hurry in the second half of the night, all of them are a little tired.
Zhang Tinglan is even more so, although he learned to ride a horse, but his riding skills are not very good, and it is the first time to ride so far, both legs are numb, but as a leader, he still has to maintain a high mental state, cheer up and lead his subordinates into Fengtian.
The most important thing now is to rescue the seized businessmen, most of these people have invested in the Xingye Company, and Zhang Tinglan's real interests are allies, and there is something wrong with their safety, which is tantamount to slapping Zhang Tinglan, so after he arrived in Mukden, he immediately asked people to inquire about the whereabouts and safety of these people.
It is not up to him to decide to move troops in Fengtian, and Zhang Zuolin must agree, but Lao Zhang is not in Fengtian now, Zhang Tinglan has no choice but to find out his father Zhang Zuoxiang and let him call the shots.
Zhang Zuoxiang, as an old Jianghu, was obviously much calmer than Zhang Tinglan, and after a simple understanding of the situation, he said: "Tinglan, don't worry, I know exactly how capable that Gao Ming is, he doesn't dare and won't do anything to those businessmen." But since he dares to detain our people, let's take him down directly, and I'll go to Gaofu with you." ”
With Zhang Zuoxiang's assurance, Zhang Tinglan is indeed a lot more relieved, and these older characters are definitely much calmer than themselves at the critical moment. Zhang Zuoxiang mobilized 200 soldiers, plus Zhang Tinglan's 100 cavalry, a total of 300 people, and rushed to Gaofu like a whirlwind, surrounding the entire house.
At this time, Gao Ming didn't know that the catastrophe was coming, he was sleeping soundly with two big drum girls in his arms, he sent someone to arrest Liu Shucheng and others did not know in advance that Zhang Tinglan was going to raid his home, and wanted to come to Wei to save Zhao, purely looking at the fat in the North Market.
Because according to Zhang Tinglan's design, the security and taxation of the North Market are managed by the Xingye Company, and the Finance Bureau can only watch and cannot interfere, which makes Gao Ming very annoyed, in the past, Fengtian's finances and taxes were personally managed by him, and now there is such an independent kingdom, which is equivalent to cutting meat on his body, how can it not make Gao Ming feel uncomfortable.
Especially with the announcement of the preferential conditions of the North Market, more and more businessmen are ready to move their own business in, it is conceivable that in the near future, the North Market will definitely become the commercial center of Fengtian, and it is entirely possible for the commercial tax to become the majority.
At this time, Lu Zhengxiong came to visit him, the two of them are a pair of difficult brothers, Lu Zhengxiong just lost the position of police chief not long ago, lost the power to be powerful, and now can only rely on Zhang Xiluan's face to barely make a living, accumulating a stomach of complaints.
The two quickly found a common language, and scolded Zhang Zuolin for bullying and complaining that Zhang Xiluan was cowardly and incompetent. However, they also know that it is useless to just scold people, and they have to come up with a solution to the dilemma, the current situation is already obvious, Lao Zhang will sooner or later take all the power of Fengtian into his own hands, and at that time they will all have to stand aside.
As the saying goes, three stinkers beat Zhuge Liang, Lu Zhengxiong and Gao Ming got together, and really came up with an idea, that is, to take the opportunity to arrest those big businessmen who were ready to enter the North Market, and force them to also pay a sum of money to the Finance Bureau.
For the merchants, at least more than half of the burden has been reduced, and these two people will pinch their noses and admit that they will pinch their noses when they think that they will force the merchants to pay more than 20% of the tax to them, and the burden of the merchants will be reduced by 30%. And they have not affected the income of the 27th Division, how much should you collect or how much, although Zhang Zuolin may be unhappy, but he will not turn his face.
These two goods didn't understand what was going on in the North Market at all, and they thought that they were just like them, just to exploit the merchants! Therefore, the more the two of them think about it, the more reasonable it becomes, even if Zhang Zuolin is in trouble, there is still Zhang Xiluan who is not on the top.
"Senior brother, I think we should cut through the mess quickly, while Zhang Zuolin is not in Fengtian, we will take our men to imprison those businessmen, those businessmen are full of cowards, as long as they are scared, they will honestly pay the money, as long as they agree, what else can Zhang Zuolin say, not to mention that Lord Du Du will support us!"
After the two of them made up their minds, they kept paying attention to Zhang Zuolin's movements, and it happened that Zhang Zuolin went out of the city to review the army, and Zhang Tinglan's armed police were also transferred out of the city.
Then let his subordinates imprison them in the Finance Bureau, Gao Ming felt that as long as he scared these people first, it would be enough to make them surrender obediently. After everything was done, Gao Ming and Lu Zhengxiong were very happy, and the two of them specially found a lot of girls who sang songs to serve them.
After playing for most of the night, Gao Ming and Lu Zhengxiong each carried the booty to the room, and because they were very excited, they tossed until it was almost dawn before they fell asleep. Not long after they lay down, there was a rapid sound of slamming the door outside the mansion gate, Zhang Zuoxiang commanded his subordinates to smash the door of Gao Ming's house with the butt of a gun, the sound was like thunder, and the people in Gao Mansion were alarmed.
A few servants looked outside the gate of the mansion, and saw countless troops at a glance, and they were immediately frightened, and stumbled to find Gao Ming, at this time Zhang Zuoxiang had already commanded the soldiers to climb over the courtyard wall and open the gate, Zhang Zuoxiang and Zhang Tinglan entered the Gao Mansion one after the other.
At this time, Gao Mingcai, who woke up from his sleep, ran out in a panic, and he didn't notice that there was a woman's skirt wrapped in the coat, which happened to be dragged outside, nondescript, very funny.
"Director Gao, don't come unharmed, we're disturbing?"
"Head Zhang, what do you want to do?" As soon as Gao Ming saw Zhang Zuoxiang's menacing killing, he was a little weak and short of breath, to be honest, Gao Ming was really a little scared in the face of these bearded soldiers.
"Director Gao, you pack up your clothes first, don't be a man, a man, a woman!" Gao Ming only realized at this time that he still had the evidence of rolling the sheets yesterday, and his face suddenly turned red, he hurriedly got the gauze skirt out, and then sorted out the clothes in a panic.
Zhang Zuoxiang looked at him for a long time, and said with a smile: "Director Gao, I heard that you have shown your prestige and arrested more than a dozen businessmen, do you know what their identities are?" ”
"Head Zhang, you old Shengming, these businessmen are all treacherous, and tax evasion is commonplace, so I arrested it and checked it, there is absolutely no other meaning, you must not misunderstand."
"Misunderstanding? I'm not mistaken at all, this is your intention, watching us put up the framework of the North Market, and we are going to make money, you are red-eyed, right? You want a piece of the pie too, don't you? ”
In the face of Zhang Zuoxiang's questioning, Gao Ming was hesitant, he didn't know what to do with his hand, Zhang Zuoxiang waved his big hand, and slapped Gao Ming suddenly, fanning him three times in place, half of his face was swollen in an instant, blood foamed at the corner of his mouth, and three teeth on one side were knocked out.
"Weigh yourself well, don't dream about anything!" Zhang Zuoxiang is usually amiable, but such a powerful blow is really scary, and suddenly Gao Ming didn't dare to let go of a fart, the soldiers on both sides rushed up and tied him up, and then someone rushed into Gaofu and detained everyone.
Zhang Zuoxiang patted Zhang Tinglan's shoulder at this time, and said, "Go and release those businessmen, don't let people wait." ”
Zhang Tinglan also nodded yes, and left in a hurry, Zhang Zuoxiang looked at his son's back and nodded, it is a blessing that he has such a capable son, Gao Ming, a miscellaneous man, dared to destroy the career that his son had worked so hard to get in exchange for it, and he just hit Zhang Zuoxiang's lung tube, and he secretly gritted his teeth in his heart: I would never spare him!
Zhang Tinglan hurriedly rushed to the Finance Bureau with people, but he didn't expect the door of the Finance Bureau to be opened, and there was not even a guard, Zhang Tinglan quickly walked to the main hall of the office, and saw more than a dozen people sitting in the hall talking and laughing, headed by Liu Shucheng, and sitting opposite him was a short and fat middle-aged man.
As soon as the middle-aged man saw Zhang Tinglan bringing people in, he smiled and said, "Brother Liu, Young Master Zhang is here, you won't be in trouble, I won't accompany you much, I'm old, I can't stand it without sleeping all night!" As he spoke, he stood up and stretched, and was about to leave.
