Chapter 60: Storm Thief

The old man in the mouth of the red master Lu Jiantong is the one-armed commander of Jinyiwei Lei Yin, the two have a very good personal relationship, simply learn from the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang Taoyuan to tie the righteousness, insert incense and worship the handle, Lu Jiantong is older than Lei Yin, and he should be the eldest brother, however, when it comes to using his brain or taking the main opinion, Lu Jiantong is willing to bow to the wind, the reason why he can play the Red Gang so big is all because of the dog-headed military advisor Song Xiance of the Son of Heaven to give advice behind his back.

Song Xiance was still proud at the beginning, happily giving people guidance, showing off his own resourcefulness, running too much in the back, his legs and feet were almost broken, he really couldn't bear it, so he simply recommended a few of his unsatisfactory buddies and classmates, and acted as a master for Lu Jiantong to help him give advice, and he really couldn't make up his mind to come to him again.

Not to mention, although several buddies and classmates recommended by Song Xiance did not make the list after N years of Xiucai, they had a bad stomach like Song Xiance, and helped Lu Jiantong solve N many troubles, what kind of person is really what kind of friend he makes.

"Big brother, what's wrong?"

Lei Yin and Lu Jiantong met in a remote tavern, and ordered a few snacks and snacks, chatting while eating, both of them were disguised and disguised, even the cronies around them may not recognize them.

"Can you help me get an idea......"

Lu Jiantong, who had a sad face, sighed, poured out all the original reasons, and asked Lei Yin to help him get an idea.

Disasters broke out in various places, and the Son of Heaven decreed that funds should be allocated for disaster relief, but in some hard-hit areas such as Shaanxi, it was not enough for the government to allocate silver for disaster relief, like a drop in the bucket, and as a last resort, the Son of Heaven paid out of his own pocket to relieve the victims.

Since it is to help the people, the price of grain must not be sold too high, the poor people simply cannot afford to buy sky-high grain, at the beginning, the first few orders of business can barely keep a flat capital, but then all the losses, and the more the loss is bigger, the reason is that the price of the purchased grain has risen one after another, the cost is getting higher and higher, and the loss is more and more, although the Son of Heaven did not say anything, but he felt very uncomfortable, thinking about how to help the Son of Heaven share the worries and solve the problem.

It stands to reason that the price of grain should not be expensive, but those landlords, old rich gentry and businessmen saw that there was no harvest in Shaanxi and other places, and they made a civil uprising, so they took the opportunity to accumulate grain, raise the price of grain, and disregarded the lives of the people, and made a fortune in the country, which made Lu Jiantong so angry that he gritted his teeth and wanted to chop people up and feed them to the dogs.

He asked a few masters how to get those guys to lower the price of grain and sell the grain to him obediently, but the masters didn't think about it, they shook their heads directly, and even said NO three times, the conscience of those guys was fed to the dogs, and normal means couldn't be played at all, unless extraordinary means were used.

The extraordinary means is a black and black business, but the risk is extremely high, and if he accidentally messes up, the consequences are serious, and he really can't make up his mind, so he has to come to Lei Yin and ask him to help him get the idea.

Lei Yin took a breath and showed a solemn expression, this idea ......

To be honest, this idea can't be said to be bad, nor can it be said to be very good, but the temptation is so great that people's hearts are pounding, people die for money, birds die for food, and some people dare to work hard for a hundred taels of silver, not to mention N more N more silver, you don't see, the Son of Heaven is worried all day long for disaster relief? Could it be that as the most favored courtier of the Son of Heaven, shouldn't he share the worries and solve problems for the Son of Heaven?

Even if it can't solve the problem of food shortage in the disaster areas at once, it can at least relieve the great pressure in the disaster area and please the Son of Heaven, but in case of a mistake or an accident, or a small detail, the trouble will be big, and they can't bear it.

The brothers were entangled for a long time, but they really didn't dare to make a decision, so they had no choice but to send someone to invite Song Xiance, the imperial military advisor of the Son of Heaven, to ask for advice.

"Oh, that's a good idea, why don't you do it?" Song Xiance didn't frown, he directly patted his thigh and applauded, don't you do the thing of making a fortune? What's more, they are not filling their own pockets, but working for the Son of Heaven to earn a lot of money.

"But......" Lei Yin snorted for a long time, but the following words were not spoken, but everyone understands what it means, can the Son of Heaven pass that level?

"This matter is on me, you are responsible for the manpower and details of the operation, and you must be reliable." Song Xiance took care of everything, he walked around in front of the Son of Heaven all day long with the chief eunuch Wang Chengen, not only familiar with the character of the Son of Heaven, but also understood the mind of the Son of Heaven.

But in the selection and action details must be very careful and careful, he repeatedly told that this matter is not a joke, once there is a bad pool, the trouble will be big, those landlords and old financial businessmen are behind the civil official group, move their cheese, they will find you desperately drop, the civil official is powerful, you know the drop.

Lei Yin and Lu Jiantong nodded thoughtfully, the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty are indeed very powerful, and they will die at every turn, touching the scales of the Son of Heaven, which makes people afraid.

After Song Xiance returned to the palace, in front of Wang Chengen, he carefully told him about the meeting with Lei Yin and Lu Jiantong just now, focusing on the fact that the landlord did not sell the grain and desperately raised the price of grain, and then glanced at Wang Chengen and carefully observed the expression on the face of the Son of Heaven.

Wang Chengen's eyelids drooped, and he looked like he hadn't heard anything.

Zhu Jian's face was black, he knew how hateful and greedy those landlords and old businessmen were, the current price of grain is much higher than usual, and it is already profitable to sell at this time, but these guys are too greedy, they would rather watch the people starve to death than sell grain, desperately raise the price of grain to death, and it is difficult to eliminate the hatred in his heart if he robs his house 10,000 times.

However, he also knows in his heart that the backstage of these landlords and old wealthy businessmen is the civil official group, and it is not okay to be brutal, what handle is it really to be caught by others, the trouble is not small, this matter has to be thought about carefully, how can it be foolproof? After all, this is not a trivial matter, and if you want to be unaware, you will inevitably hurt the innocent.

Song Xiance couldn't help grinning and snickering, both public and private, it is impossible for the Son of Heaven to tolerate those landlords and old wealthy businessmen who have no discipline, as for hurting the innocent, after all, it is only a few people, and the number of deaths caused by the war is too many to count, the emperor is good at everything, but sometimes he is too soft-hearted.

The matter was thus finalized, and Lu Jiantong and Lei Yin quickly selected more than 200 reliable subordinates, divided into two teams, and conducted a ten-day intensive training, mainly to practice the loading and shooting of muskets, the use of grenade throwing, gesture code language, and so on.

In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, Zhu Jian borrowed more than 100 fine Lumi guns from the wolf camp, and secretly withheld a lot of grenades from his arsenal.

"Your Majesty, what is the name of our team that robs the rich and helps the poor?" Song Xiance leaned over with a flattering expression on his face.

"If you come without a trace, if you go without a trace, you can call it a wind thief." Zhu Jian saw that everything was ready, and he was in a good mood, and with a wave of his big sleeves, he opened his mouth and gave him a well-known name.
