Chapter 325: New Youth
Of course, Yang Feng can't let these talents who have spent years of painstaking training take office alone.
will be intercepted by the gentry.
In the current situation, if they were to take office alone, the gentry would never let them come to office alive......
Stealing.
Drowning.
Violent illness.
……
They will experience various ways to die.
And in this era, it is common to travel far away and die on the road, and it is said that Yang Feng was almost made a meat bun by someone when he went north! If he really dies, it will be difficult for the government to find out, maybe he will feed the fish directly when he crosses the river, and give him a life without seeing anyone dead or dead. And it's not just on the road, after they arrive, in the current situation, there is a high probability that they will be killed, and it is not simple for the magistrates and gentry to collude to kill such traitorous minions? Li Sancai dared to hire the bandits in the prison, framed the tax supervisor sent by Wanli as an accomplice, and then directly arrested and killed him in prison.
In fact, this is the first choice for civil officials and gentry to confront him at present.
They will not rebel openly for the time being.
They haven't been pushed to the point where they have no choice.
But it can kill his minions.
As long as he was unable to place his cronies in local control of power, he would never be able to enforce the law of public land, and if the civil officials and gentry could do so consistently, they would be tantamount to victory.
Therefore, every new branch jinshi who went to work outside the capital carried ten Jinyi guards, led by a small banner, and they were not the original Jinyi guards of the nature of internal guards, and the latter did not have so many people, these were expanded separately, directly selecting elite soldiers from the Shenji Battalion, and then expanding to Jinyi Guards, not only equipped with one person and two short guns, but also the power to borrow troops from the local guards.
However, the public identity is still the entourage of these new science and technology scholars.
Identities are generally not revealed.
But the exposure ......
If you expose it, you will really arrest people.
"This old man, what did you do just now when you made that neck wipe for him?
Explain to us? ”
Xiao Qi looked at the old man who taught young people to kill people and said.
"When the old man is old, how can he be framed by children such as Er!"
The old man shouted inwardly.
Liu Wen glanced at him silently, before the old man could understand, the short gun without bullets had already been stuffed into the hand of the young man in front of him by Liu Wen, and then Liu Wen raised his hand in his blank gaze and aimed the muzzle of the short gun at himself......
"Assassinate the court officials, and kill them!"
He said.
At the same time, the trigger of the short gun in the other hand was slowly pulled.
At the same time, he looked at the old man.
The old man's legs were weak and he knelt directly on the ground.
"Master Judge, it's a small fool, a small crime deserves death, it's a small one who let him murder the master!"
He howled with a handful of snot and tears.
"If you don't see the coffin, you don't cry, you tie it up by yourself, otherwise he is an accomplice in assassinating the court officials, copying the family and punishing the three clans, you are all accomplices, follow the rebel party, one counts as one, all of them have to fall to the ground, don't think that this official does not dare to kill, I was still in Guizhou at this time last year, and I followed the officials and soldiers to kill people and set fires!"
Liu Wen shouted.
He was indeed still killing people and setting fires last year.
He was originally from Wukaiwei, Guizhou, and these graduates returned to their hometowns for internships, in fact, they were also asked to go back to visit relatives.
It happened that Gu Cheng and He Fu were fighting against Wukaiman, so of course he followed the battle.
Those young men looked at each other, and one of them suddenly ran away like crazy, probably running back to Xiangyang to report the news, or to find a way, but the next moment Liu Wen's hand shot a short gun flame, this unlucky guy fell down in response, and the others were so frightened that they had to find ropes to tie each other, and those old men stood there tremblingly......
"It's all tied!"
Liu Wen shouted.
The young men had no choice but to go over and tie them up as well.
At this time, a brocade guard quietly came to Liu Wen's side and whispered, Liu Wen turned his head to look at Yi Cheng, who was standing there with an honest face.
Liu Wen didn't say anything more, just smiled meaningfully.
And at this moment, the back door of the post station has been opened, a post man on horseback, galloping towards the inspection department, this actually belongs to Xiangyang, but it is the northern gateway of Xiangyang, but even if the inspection comes, it is useless, because although the order to arrest people is given by him, it is Jinyiwei who arrests people, not to mention the inspection department, even the prefect of Xiangyang and even Huguang have no right to interfere with Jinyiwei.
"But if these dogs jump off the wall in a hurry, they will still pretend to be bandits."
Xiaoqi whispered.
"Then it's time to move troops to deal with it."
Liu Wen said.
"My cousin is in Xiangyangwei, and he is stationed not far away, but he is just a small flag like me."
Xiaoqi said.
"That's okay, don't let him tell Baihu, just bring his brother over quietly, we don't know the relationship between the generals of Xiangyangwei and the local gentry, let them not worry, you are Jinyiwei, and you have the right to transfer them to catch thieves."
Liu Wen said.
Ambassador Yang has long said that whoever can quickly have the final say in the local area will be promoted to the head of the local government. He is a judge of Dengzhou, but Zhizhou has resigned, and he is currently acting as Zhizhou of Tongzhi, and the judge is second only to Tongzhi, Tongzhi is from the old imperial examination Jinshi, if he can quickly grasp the place, then he will definitely be promoted to Zhizhou.
So now is the time for Liwei.
"Let's go, take them out of Huguang, and it makes sense for us to get our own jurisdiction."
He said.
This is the provincial border, and to the north is directly into the Xinye of Henan, and the Xinye belongs to Dengzhou at this time.
That's his job to get there.
Jin Yiwei caught the criminal who assassinated the imperial court official and entered the jurisdiction of Dengzhou, so the Dengzhou judge has the responsibility to provide all the necessary assistance.
They immediately drove the men, including the wounded and unconscious old fellow, and threw them on a donkey cart, and the group quickly went north out of the provincial border.
At this time, the inspection of Luyan, who got the news, had already sent a letter to Xiangyang at the fastest speed.
Xiangyang.
The former Ministry of Rites Shangshu Ren Hengtai Residence.
Song Xin walked out with an angry face, and Ren Xianzong, the son of Ren Hengtai behind him, looked embarrassed, and hurriedly asked the servant to close the door while sending off the guests.
Hundreds of elderly villagers crowded outside immediately stepped forward.
"What, did Ren Gong agree to come forward?"
An old man asked Song Xin.
"If it is not of my race, his heart will be different, and he cannot count on it."
Song Xin sneered.
Strictly speaking, Ren Hengtai can't be regarded as an alien, he is a Semu, but in fact, he is not a real Semu, because his mother is the Ugulun clan, which is the Jurchen surname, and the Golden Vulture is the Ugulun clan, and it is estimated that the remaining Jurchens are counted as Semu because of their beliefs. But Ren Hengtai has his mother's surname, so it's okay to count the eyes, but his wife is Mongolian, in short, his background is a bit complicated. But now he is the boss of the local gentry in Xiangyang, because Xiangyang has produced him as a high-ranking official in the Hongwu Dynasty, and he is also a champion.
"What then? My father was arrested, the prefect and the county all resigned, and Xiangyangwei didn't care. ”
A young Confucian said anxiously.
"No matter what, no matter whatever!
Lvyan to Xinye seventy miles, they can't get there before dark, the night must rest in the middle, let's choose the young and strong who can fight, cross the river and then ride a horse to catch up, in the middle of the night to kill all the slaughter, isn't it just a few brocade guards, out of the capital still want to be a prestige? ”
Song Xin said.
"It's just a big deal."
An old countryman said with some hesitation.
"Han Gong, are you still afraid of making a big fuss at this time? The dog official is clearly here to harm people, it is Yang Feng's cronies, what he taught in that Wutai Mountain, they are all controlled by his demon law, just like that demon soldier, he came to harm people for him. This time, he took the handle, and when the time came, under torture, he fabricated charges and fabricated unjust cases, and those who were caught couldn't live, and maybe even clinged indiscriminately, and we couldn't run away from Xiangyang.
Since he will be killed sooner or later, why not strike first?
It is said that our Xiangyang Mansion has also appointed a new pusher, who is also Yang Feng's minion.
Don't think that his trip to Dengzhou has nothing to do with us.
He is the pathfinder.
In the future, our prefectures and counties will be Yang Feng's minions, and we will all die if he says a word at that time. ”
Song Xin said.
The old villagers looked at each other.
Indeed, Yang Feng is in the layout, that is, waiting for his minions to complete the control of the place, and now he has just arrived at one, and he is already so rampant, and then as he has more and more minions, and all the local officials at all levels have become his minions, it is not a word to kill the gentry?
"We have to let his minions die one by one, the mountains and forests around the left and right are dense, what do we have to do with the bandits?"
Song Xin said.
"Let's go, gather people!"
An old countryman said.
They immediately left in front of Ren's house.
They didn't notice that a man in a carriage not far away was looking at them with interest.
These guys don't shy away from people at all.
The prefect of Xiangyang, the prefect of the county, the same knowledge, and the magistrates have all resigned or escaped from the reverse case, and at present, there is only one general judgment left in the entire Xiangyang Mansion, and basically nothing happens, and these are almost all the influential local gentry in Xiangyang, they are afraid of a bird! Of course, it was mainly a few hundred people who gathered together and spoke in the local dialect, and they were not afraid of being heard by outsiders, but they didn't know that just as they were messily leaving the door of Ren's house, a guy in the crowd who had been shouting in dialect before slipped out quietly and walked to the carriage.
"Li Tuiguan, they are going to pretend to be bandits, ride horses to catch up, and attack and kill Judge Liu and others tonight."
He whispered.
"Liu Wen is playing a lot!"
The new Xiangyang magistrate, Liu Wen's alumnus, but Li Xin, who is a liberal arts student, said with a smile.
The two of them actually went all the way.
It's just that after arriving in Xiangyang, Liu Wen landed in Fancheng and went north to Luyan, but he went directly to Xiangyang, and then hired a carriage to pretend to be a passing businessman, and took the accompanying Jinyi Wei to play micro-clothes for a private visit.
"Do you want to go to Xiangyang Wei to transfer troops?"
Jin Yiwei Xiaoqi asked.
"Don't, they are like this, no one in Xiangyangwei has come to take care of it, it is estimated that it has been sorted out, we are outsiders after all, they and those generals of Xiangyangwei have been neighbors for decades, maybe they are in-laws of each other, let's rush to transfer troops, we will definitely leak the news." Go to the bank, Xiangyang Bank has an escort team, let's add Liu Wen and others, there are dozens of short guns, and the escort team has more than 30 long and short guns, which is enough to deal with them.
Take them and go to Xiangyangwei. ”
Li Xin said.
Xiaoqi nodded.
The group immediately turned to the bank, and soon arrived at the bank, and then Li Xin took out his graduation certificate.
But the identity was not said.
He also did not know the relationship between the bank manager and the local gentry.
But with his diploma, he is qualified to mobilize the power here.
This is a diploma from Wutaishan University.
The bank keeper immediately handed over the escort team to him.
In addition, horses were prepared for them, and even boats were prepared to cross the river......
This is from Wutai Mountain, and the identity of the shopkeeper of Xiangyang Bank is still the little princess's house slave, in their system, the status is much lower than that of these protégés, including what Li Xin is, what he is used for, the bank shopkeeper doesn't need to ask, just do what he says.
Li Xin and his entourage of fifty horsemen crossed the Han River, and when they landed in Fancheng, a team of hundreds of horsemen also landed on the wharf not far from them, and the latter did not have the slightest alarm about them, after all, Xiangyang was a commercial port, and it was normal for caravans to go north on horseback. In particular, there is a bank escort team, which is obviously a big customer going north, carrying a large sum of silver, and hiring a bank escort team to escort it, and banks everywhere provide this kind of service, after all, it is very dangerous for merchants in these years.
Both teams set off almost at the same time.
Li Xin went directly to the north, pretending to go straight to Dengzhou.
The team headed for Lu Yan.
But Li Xin quickly turned back, and with binoculars, he led fifty horsemen to follow from afar.
Soon they passed Luyan one after the other.
Then continue on until nightfall.
"In front is Xindiandu, where there is a market town."
Said the escort captain, who was familiar with the road.
As soon as he finished speaking, gunshots were heard in the distance.
"Get ready to do it!"
Li Xin said.
On horseback, he directly pulled out the short gun, and those brocade guards also pulled out the short gun.
"Master Li, what are we?"
The escort captain, who didn't know the truth yet, asked cautiously.
His men are also ready to fight.
In fact, they still have a lot of combat experience.
"Don't worry about what to do, you will kill whoever I ask you to kill later, and I forgot to tell you, I am the new governor of Xiangyang Mansion, and it is reasonable to take you to catch thieves, right?"
Li Xin said with a smile.
Then he urged the horses.
Behind him, Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi took out his waist card and shook it in front of the escort captain.
The latter, with a cold sweat, led his subordinates to also urge the war horse.
And now there are more gunshots in the distance.
"No, it's not just Liu Wen there, but also the three-eyed guns of the officials and soldiers."
Li Xin suddenly shouted.
As soon as he finished shouting, dozens of routs in front of him appeared in his field of vision in chaos, and it could be seen in the moonlight that it was those who crossed the river and went north at the same time with them before, Li Xin raised the short guns without hesitation, and at the same time, the ten brocade guards also raised the short guns, and the eleven horses lined up in a horizontal line, just like the European musketeers during the Thirty Years War, raised the short guns against the dozens of routers, and pulled the trigger almost at the same time at a distance of ten zhang.
There was a chaotic fall on the other side.
At this time, Li Xin and the others raised the second short gun......
