Chapter 57: Killing Chickens and Monkeys (1)
"My lord, half an hour ago, Wang Kuan, the chief steward of the Wang family, came to report the case, saying that Wang Tang, the third steward of the house, swept away a large amount of wealth and goods of the Wang family and absconded, and now he is nowhere to be found, and asked the lord to want this person throughout the territory. ”
When Gongsun Ming led his troops back to the house, the sky was already dark, and he had just sat down, and he didn't even have time to drink tea, when the lord Bo Wang He had already arrived in a hurry, bringing not very good news to Gongsun Ming.
"Hey, what a numb hand and foot!"
As soon as he heard Wang He's words, Gongsun Ming laughed angrily, the killing intent in his eyes was really intense, no side, he just took the evidence of Wang Tang's crime on the front foot, and the Wang family played the trick of killing people and destroying his mouth on the back foot, this is simply a blatant shaving on his Gongsun Ming's face, it is tolerable, which is unbearable!
"Lord, you are ......"
The Wang family is a Youzhou family, in the four major families of Youzhou, ranked second, only under the Lu family, under the management of many generations, not only in Jixian County, the huge Youzhou counties have the Wang family's industry, the influence of the people is huge, and the children of its clan are all over the Youzhou officialdom, whether it is Gongsun Chan or Liu Yu, when he was in charge, he had a polite attitude towards such wealthy families, and he did not dare to offend easily, in this regard, as a Bohai celebrity, he had already known, because of this, this saw that Gongsun Ming seemed to intend to wave a knife at the Wang family, and Wang Heden was taken aback。
"Pass the order: Youyou, Bo counties, and counties will post sea fishing documents, and make every effort to arrest Wang Tang, see people alive, see corpses when dead, and those who dare to harbor this fang will be punished for the same crime!"
Gongsun Minghuo is a big fire, but he will never lose his mind because of this, because he knows very well that when his foothold is not stable, there must be ironclad evidence in hand, otherwise, he will not be able to shake the Wang family and other intricate wealthy families in Youzhou, if he really dares to come toughly, even if he can destroy the Wang family, it will definitely lead to a collective backlash from the wealthy families in the whole territory. The land of Bo is bound to fall into chaos, even if it can be calmed down in the end, it will take a lot of energy and price, and this, for Gongsun Ming, who urgently needs to rush to rise in time, is obviously unacceptable, in view of this, even if he wants to immediately send troops to destroy the Wang family's dock fort, but Gongsun Ming finally endured it, never mentioned the case of Shanglan County, but according to the meaning of the Wang family, went down to the sea to catch the paperwork, of course, in the bottom of his heart, he wrote a lot of money to the Wang family......
Youzhou right Beiping County original sixteen counties of the land, the place of governance is located in Pinggang (now Inner Mongolia Ningcheng County Dianzi Town Heicheng Village Heicheng Ancient City), the end of the Han Dynasty chaos, Wu Heng took advantage of the rise of the situation, constantly harassed the right Beiping cities, the leading Youzhou military Gongsun Chan at the beginning is a tough attitude to continue to attack and kill the Wuheng tribes who dare to invade, so there was a fierce conflict with Liu Yu who advocated Huairou, under the evil between the two sides, although Gongsun Chan was ruthless to kill Liu Yu, but also caused a great loss of Youzhou's military strength, and then because he was busy competing with Yuan Shao, he was unable to consolidate the frontier in the north, so that the border cities of the right Beiping fell successively, so far at the age of the year, the huge right Beiping is only left with the mound, Wuzhong, Xu Wu, Junmi, Guangcheng, Pingming six counties, the governance office has also moved from Pinggang to Junmi City, and Zheng Xiao, the county guard, is sitting in this city.
Zheng Xiao, the second brother of Zheng Cheng, the head of the Zheng family of the wealthy family in Youzhou, is capable of both civil and military affairs, known as one of the four shows in Youzhou, when Gongsun Chan confronted Liu Yu, in order to win over the Zheng family, he gave Zheng Xiao the position of the Taishou of the right Beiping County, and gave him a lot of sympathy, but unexpectedly Zheng Xiao sat down in the right Beiping After the position was secured, he played a trick against Gongsun Zhan, holding nearly 25,000 heavy soldiers, but when Yi County was besieged, he did not move, or even privately with Yuan Shao, he planned to raise the whole county to join Yuan Shao after the destruction of Gongsun Zhan, but he never thought that Gongsun Ming suddenly rose, and Yuan Shao had to evacuate Youzhou in less than a month, Zheng Xiao watched for a while, In the end, it was decided to temporarily attach Gongsun Ming first, of course, he only planned to submit in name, but in fact he was still playing the trick of separating one side.
Since the whole county of Youbeiping has been regarded as his own territory, Zheng Xiao does not allow others to interfere indiscriminately, even if it is the nominal boss Gongsun Ming, he can not be an exception, because of this, when the three chapters of Gongsun Ming's covenant came out, Zheng Xiao has expressed his dissatisfaction on different occasions, and then, Xu You sent someone to say that Zheng Xiao expressed his willingness to respond as soon as possible, but because he was worried about the retaliation of Gongsun Ming in Jixian County, he did not dare to jump out of the first cannon, but secretly masterminded the rule of Wu Zhong, Xu Wu, The three counties of Junmi Uejo Chen expressed resolute opposition to rent and tax reductions.
Zheng Xiao's abacus is undoubtedly extremely fine, in his opinion, as long as he does not come forward, even if it is not a big deal, it is really time for chaos, it is a big deal to push out the county orders of the three counties as scapegoats, and there are many people waiting to be officials at this time, and a few well-behaved children from the Zheng family can make up for the lack of county orders, it is from this idea that Zheng Xiao did not see how heavy the nine counties joined forces to rebound。
"Stop!"
Just when the guests and friends in the Taishou Mansion were happy, a small caravan of more than 100 people drove the carriage to the city gate, and when a rotating commander led several soldiers to meet him, he raised his hand and drank violently.
"This military master is invited, little Lin Yi, a native of Bohai Lecheng, brought some small things to make a living here, and asked the military master to make it convenient. ”
The leader of the small caravan was a middle-aged man in his early thirties, and when he saw that his caravan had been stopped, he hurriedly rushed forward and bowed his hand with a smile on his face.
"Guan Wen?"
Junmi City is now a border pass, is one of the important ports of trade between the Central Plains and the grasslands, even if it is a time of war, there are not a few merchants who come here to trade cattle, sheep and horses with Wuheng, and the soldiers who control the customs have long been accustomed to this, and they will not be very polite at all, only to see that the rotating commander has no nonsense at all, and he stretched out his hand and snorted.
"Here, here, military master, you see, the villain's Guan Wen is here, and please raise your noble hand, the villain is grateful. ”
The middle-aged merchant was obviously prepared, and while respectfully complimenting, he took out a document from his bosom, pressed a small cloth bag full of coins under it, and leaned forward with a smile on his face.
"Huh?"
Although the check is hard, but the oil and water is very sufficient, the tun chief is obviously used to bribes, only glanced at the small cloth bag pressed under the paperwork, eyebrows and eyes immediately rippled a layer of smiles, just thinking about reaching out to pick it up, the distant mountain bend suddenly raised a large puff of smoke and dust, it was a cavalry army rushing from the wild, the pupils of the rotating tun chief immediately shrank, just thinking about ordering vigilance, the change happened suddenly......
