Wen An ordered 300 forbidden troops to line up and surround the Li family manor, and then the commander of the forbidden army selected 100 forbidden troops to rush in to get people, although Li Yang has no official position, but he does have a militia of 6,000 people, don't look at these people are village warriors, they want to say that they are fighting, then they are not bad at all, and the Li family manor is the decision-making center of Alan County, that is not anyone who wants to break in

Wen An concluded that even if Li Yang was bold, he would not dare to openly fight with the forbidden army, because the royal majesty represented by the forbidden army could be on top of everything, but what Wen An didn't expect was that Xiang Yong, who was guarding outside the manor, dared to draw a sword against the forbidden army, because of the sudden incident, the number of Xiang Yong and his family outside the manor was less than that of the forbidden army, only more than 20 people, Xiang Yong saw this fight, if it took a few rounds to fight head-to-head, they would all have to be subdued by the forbidden army

No matter how many people you have in the forbidden army, the gate of the manor can accommodate up to 10 people walking side by side, which can slow down the offensive of the forbidden army to a large extent, which is conducive to defense, and the moment you retreat to the manor, the family will sound the warning gong, as long as the people in the manor hear the gong, they will know that something is wrong, and they will rush to reinforcements in the direction from which the sound came

Just when Li Yang and the others were engrossed in listening to the play, a family member ran in in a panic, he panted and raised his hand to the outside: Young master, it's not good, a group of officers and soldiers came outside and wanted to break in, but they were stopped by the brothers of the guards, and they were about to fight, you go over and take a look

When Li Yang heard this, he still wondered why the official army broke into my manor for no reason, if there was really something to let people report it, would it be okay to break in: Gao Yuankui, let's go out and see what's going on

Gao Yuan grabbed the steel knife and waved his hand: Brothers, take all the guys with me

Yuankui: I'm here to see who is fighting so much

When he arrived at the main gate of the manor, Li Yang looked out, the army outside was not Taizhou soldiers, they were all wearing a pair of beautiful iron armor, and even their helmets were decorated, so Li Yang walked out and wanted to figure things out first, while Gao Yuan and Yuan Kui followed closely behind me

Li Yang bowed to the group of officers and soldiers in front of him: I don't know why the envoys want to break into the manor of the grass people

At this time, I heard a voice from the crowd, "He is Li Yang, take him down for me"

Li Yang looked up and saw that it was Wen An who was speaking, wasn't it good, he just wanted to run back, but at this time, four or five forbidden troops had already rushed towards him together, Gao Yuan and Yuan Kui and others saw this, and they all drew their steel knives and wanted to rush up to snatch Li Yang back, but the forbidden army was not a vegetarian, and they rushed towards the plateau with the blade in their hands, and two groups of people fought outside the manor, which frightened the residents of the county, and the originally lively streets were deserted, and the residents hid in their homes and closed the doors

The moment the forbidden army pounced, Li Yang threw him to the ground with a back and shoulder fall, but this group of people didn't talk about martial arts at all, and they rushed up and put the knife on his neck, "Stop, put down all the weapons, or I will kill him."

Li Yang sighed helplessly: This military envoy, you have to hold your hands steady, if I die, none of you people will be able to get out, and the grass people will die if they die, but Lord Wen, you are different, but then again, you can pull Lord Wen on your back, this deal is not a loss

After saying that, he laughed out loud, Wen An was too lazy to talk to Li Yang, and waited until the country was comfortable, although the fight stopped, but on the plateau, they still drew their swords with the forbidden army, Wen An and the forbidden army held me hostage, and as soon as I arrived on the street, I was rushed by 2,000 people to hear the news

Han Juzheng also heard the news and rushed over, when he saw that it was the forbidden army, as the county order, the first thing he did was to stabilize the situation first, let Gao Yuan and others not be impulsive, besieging the forbidden army was already very passive, if he killed the officials of the national capital again, it would be a big crime of rebellion, and he also sent people to Taizhou City to ask for help from Lord Sun

When Lord Sun arrived, it was almost dark, and when Lord Sun saw Yuan Kui and the village warriors holding blades to surround Wen An and the forbidden army in the middle, he first asked Yuan Kui to ask the brothers to put away all the guys in their hands, and Yuan Kui raised his hand as soon as he saw that Lord Sun had spoken, and the villagers put away the blades in their hands

Sun Yuanwu: Gao Yuankui-Yuankui, let the brothers of the militia group step down first

Yuankui: Yes, my lord

After speaking, he turned around and shouted softly to the villagers: Go back to the camp

When the two thousand Xiangyong heard this, they put away their blades together, lined up in line, and walked towards the militia camp with neat steps, while Gao Yuan and Yuan Kui and others took the remaining 200 Xiangyong to stay in place

Sun Yuanwu looked at the forbidden army with a serious face: I am Sun Yuanwu, the prefect of Taizhou, and asked you Shangguan to come out and speak

At this time, Wen An walked out of the forbidden army with a wicked smile on his face: Master Sun, don't come unharmed

Sun Yuanwu: It turned out that Lord Wen was driving Taizhou, who was Lord Wen going to arrest in such a big battle

Wen An: Li Yang, the shopkeeper of the Alan firm, colluded with foreign businessmen to sell illicit grain, evade tariffs, and raise grain prices, so as to make huge profits, causing the price of grain in Zhejiang to skyrocket, making the people miserable, and I came to take him on the order of the national capital

Sun Yuanwu: There is empirical evidence that Master Wen said that he colluded with foreign businessmen to smuggle illicit grain

Wen An: The 1 million quintals of grain sold to the national capital are empirical evidence, and if you don't believe it, Master Sun can ask him personally

Sun Yuanwu looked at me: What the hell is going on with those 1 million loads of grain

Li Yang: A friend of mine brought it from the south

Wen An: Master Sun, you see I'm not wrong

Li Yang: My lord, this is slandering that the grain in other places is one tael of silver and one load, but the rice of our Alan firm only costs 700 yuan per load, and the 1 million quintals of grain sold to the national capital are sold at a low price of 600 yuan

Wen An: This is exactly what you are clever about, monopolizing grain and driving up the price of grain at the same time, and selling at a low price, so that the people will have no choice but to come to you to buy rice, so as to achieve the purpose of profiteering

Li Yang: Master Wen, you really look up to me, if you don't say it, I don't know that I am so powerful that I can raise the price of grain in the whole country to one tael of silver a load

Wen An: It's not amazing, can you bring so much grain from the south?

Sun Yuanwu: Lord Wen actually happened in Taizhou, and if you want to arrest someone, it should be the Taizhou Yamen who came forward to arrest and try people

Wen An: Lord Sun's own official came to get people at the behest of the national capital

Sun Yuanwu: Even if you follow the will of the national capital, shouldn't you inform me, the prefect of Taizhou, first?

Wen An: Lord Sun didn't tell you about it for your own good, after all, the case of private grain happened right under your nose, and the military rations are still handled by you, if you let the Taizhou Yamen arrest people to try this case, I am afraid that it will attract the criticism of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty

Sun Yuanwu: I can't let you take it away, the government will personally try this case and give an explanation to the national capital

Wen An: Lord Sun, you are obviously deliberately favoring him, this official came to take people by order, Lord Sun should not want to resist the decree?

As the so-called official level crushed people to death Wen An, this is taking the will of the national capital to suppress the prefect of Taizhou, which makes Sun Yuanwu in a dilemma, he will not let me be taken back to the national capital by the forbidden army, because he knows that once I arrive in the national capital, I will definitely suffer from the flesh and skin with Wen'an's means, and I will snatch people down, that is, resisting the will and disrespecting this is to kill the head

Li Yang was also worried that Lord Sun would be implicated because of his own affairs: the adults and grass people were willing to go to the capital with them

Sun Yuanwu took a breath and could only watch the forbidden army take Li Yang back to the national capital, Wen An and they just left Li Song knelt on the ground: The adult brother is wronged, please save him

Sun Yuanwu helped Li Song up from the ground and called him aside: If Li Song wants to save another brother, you can only go to the Chuzhou camp, as long as the general is willing to come forward to another brother, he can still have a glimmer of life

Li Song: Thank you

At night, Gao Yuan and Yuan Kui invited the Zong brothers to the conference hall, and also invited Song Shiting and Heng Yan over, since Song Shiting knew that Li Yang was escorted to the national capital, she has been crying non-stop, Heng Yan can only hold back tears and hold her in her arms and comfort her: My sister, my husband, he will definitely be able to turn evil into good fortune

Yuan Kui: I believe I don't say that everyone should know it, we can't mess up in Alan County at this time, everyone must work together to stabilize the situation, Li Zuo-Li You-Li Pingping, you and Li Yang are sectarians, and the people's group will hand it over to the three of you, if anyone dares to make a thorn at this time, they should clean up, especially the eyeliner sent by the national capital

Li Long: It turned out that the national capital had taken the young master away, so I would take someone to arrest Geng Qing and Gan Hui

Gao Yuan: Li Long, don't be impulsive, you will only make things more complicated, the houses in the north are built by us, and the land is dug up by us with a spade, and for Li Yang, it is more important than anything else to protect this land in the north, and the militia will increase the intensity of training during this time, and the number of patrols in various villages will also be increased

Li Zuo: In two days, the militia should have paid the salary, and now my cousin is not here to pay the salary, so I will wait for him to come back and open it

Yuan Kui: Li Song's current money on the books is not enough for the militia to pay salaries

Li Song: The money on the books is enough for the militia and the battalions to pay their salaries

Yuan Kui: Then everything will be paid as soon as the day comes

Gao Yuan: Yes, as long as the brothers can pay on time, the people's hearts will not be chaotic, and the barracks and school fields that we are scheduled to build this year last year should not delay the start of construction, and if there is any need for our brothers to find a way to solve it

Guanshan: In the past few days, as soon as the materials needed are ready, the construction of the poor road will begin

Han Juzheng: Now is the season for farming, we still have to make sure that the farmers in each village can cultivate their own fields, and this year's grain prices have skyrocketed, Alan County can produce 40,000 quintals of grain to reduce the burden on the shoulders of the farmers

Yuan Kui: Farming is indeed a big deal, and you will be in charge of the farming of the big cow and the second cow, and if there is not enough manpower, it will be transferred from the militia group and the four battalions

Gao Yuan looked at Heng Yan: Li Song wants to take care of the business on the side of the Alan firm, and the whole manor can only rely on you two to take care of it

Yuan Kui: Li Long-Li Hu, I will draw a battalion of troops from the militia group to you, and the burden of cleaning up the northern canals will be handed over to you

Li Long: Okay, Li Hu and I are responsible for cleaning the canal

Gao Yuan: That's it for now, let's discuss what we need to do

As soon as I arrived in the national capital, I was imprisoned in the prison of the criminal department by the forbidden army, the cell is not big, there is a dusty and old and broken wooden table in the middle, there are two chairs next to it, and there is a pile of straw at the root of the wall, which is equivalent to a bed, he grabbed a handful of straw and smelled it, a strong smell of urine on it rushed to his face, and his tears came out, only to hear a retching, he quickly threw the straw in his hand to the ground, and secretly scolded in his heart, this TM can also live in people, and by the way, he greeted Wen An's ancestors for the eighteenth generation

He came to the fence and looked around the prison with both hands on the fence, not to mention that there were really a lot of people locked up here, and there were all kinds of dazzling husseins, just when he was shaking something, a man with a tiger's back and a waist of seven feet pointed at him with round eyes: Look at what you are looking at, gouge out your eyeballs

Li Yang sneered, and casually scolded him for being stupid, he raised his hands and stretched out a lazy waist, master, I don't have time to take care of you, I will squint first, so he wiped the dust on the wooden table with his sleeve, and then leaned the wooden table against the base of the wall as a chair, and lined up the chairs, put a leg on the table, and put a chair on the chair, and he leaned against the wall and took a nap

And Wen An's side, he invited Jia Ze and others to his house, and on the wine table, Wen An took this trip to Taizhou to take what people said was called a nine deaths, at that time, you didn't see that scene, thousands of fierce and vicious townsmen shouted and wiped around, thanks to the fact that the official was not afraid of danger, so the scene was suppressed, and I brought it back, and now I am locked in the prison of the Criminal Department, and the next thing is to work for you

Wen An pushed the matter away, but when it came to the Criminal Department, the matter naturally fell on the Lang Jifang of the Criminal Department, but he really didn't know how to try this matter or what direction to try

Wen An: Master Ji Li Yang is just a grass farmer, he doesn't know that so much grain has been transported from the south of the country, and the prefect of Taizhou will not know, and a large part of Li Yang's family business is bought by the government

Xu Kai, the servant of the ministry: Yes, that's the trial

Li Yang leaned against the wall, hugged his arms and was frozen over and over, he opened his eyes lazily and looked out to see that it was already late at night, this awakening he felt colder than just now, there was nothing around to cover, he could only rely on walking back and forth to increase the heat emitted by his body, but he still felt a little cold, so he played another set of flower boxing, only to see him jump and kick on the wall, using recoil is a heavy punch, I don't know what's wrong, today he is fighting more and more vigorously until dawn, This can make the people in the surrounding cells look dumbfounded, thinking what the hell is this kid doing, tossing all night without resting, some people say that he is either a martial arts master or a madman

After a while, the official came over and put a porcelain bowl on the ground, and then put a steamed bun and two mixed vegetables in the bowl, he picked up the porcelain bowl and killed the steamed bread in two or three bites, and the two mixed vegetables did not taste anything, but he did feel that he was not full, so he came to the fence and shouted outside: Alas, I am not full, and I am bringing me two steamed buns

shouted several times in a row, but no one paid attention to him, and then the person in custody on the opposite side told him: Don't shout, it's useless, they won't take care of you, so I'll give you a steamed bun and two green vegetables in the morning and evening, regardless of whether you are full or not

Li Yang was not happy when he heard it: You should taste a little rabbit with a steamed bun

Last night, he fought all night of flower boxing, as soon as he finished eating, he felt that his eyes were a little unable to open, and if he was not full, he had to reduce the amount of activity to better conserve his strength, so he leaned against the wall and took a nap, I don't know how long it took, he felt that something was crawling on his body, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that two long rats were crawling towards his face step by step, "Oops, I Cao", he was frightened, and he jumped up from the ground and drove away the rats with his feet

The man in the opposite room pointed at him and laughed loudly: That's a good thing, don't waste a mouse to top a steamed bun

Someone will ask him if he dares to fight with the East Wa Haikou on the battlefield, Dong Wa Haikou is not much more terrible than a mouse, that is really different, this is the fear emanating from the depths of his heart, plus the environment in front of him, after calming down for a while, he sat on the ground against the wall and began to close his eyes and recuperate

In the evening, other cells sent steamed buns, but he didn't have it, he just wanted to open his mouth to ask the officials to understand why they all didn't have me, but at this time, the 4 officials rushed in without saying a word, and they knocked him unconscious with a handful of heads, and the 4 officials tied him to the torture rack when he fainted

The official poured a ladle of water from the bucket and poured it on his face, and then he woke up, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a man in a red official robe sitting in front of him, he was guarding a table of sumptuous wine and food, and drank tea leisurely: You are awake

Li Yang took a closer look, isn't this person Ji Fang, the servant of the Criminal Department, fall into his hands, then I can still have a good time, this is really a narrow road, and Ji Fang looked at me with a teacup and said to the officer: Let him be in good spirits

As soon as the words fell, the official picked up a bucket of water and splashed it on me, this coolness made me can't help but shiver, so I shook the water on my head and looked at Ji Fang with a smile: cool

Ji Fang: This official was ordered to try the case of illicit food, what do I ask, what do you answer, so that you can also avoid the pain of skin and flesh

Li Yang: I don't know what you want to ask, Master Ji

Ji Fang: This official asked you where the food in your hands came from now that there is a shortage of food in Zhejiang

Li Yang: My grain was brought from the south

Ji Fang: How many loads are shipped

Li Yang: 2 million quintals

Ji Fang: The Taizhou prefect doesn't know about your sale of illicit grain

Li Yang: Adults and grass people don't understand what it means to sell illicit grain, how can the grain I buy with money become private grain?

Ji Fang: If you don't buy grain from a foreign country without going through the government, you are selling smuggled grain

Li Yang: Master Ji, then I'm really not selling smuggled grain, my grain was sent by sea from the south

Ji Fang: As long as you don't go through the government, whether you buy it or send it, you will sell smuggled grain, and answer the question just now from the official, the prefect of Taizhou, does he know that you are selling smuggled grain

Li Yang: The prefect doesn't know

Ji Fang raised his hand and slapped it on the table: Nonsense, 2 million loads of grain were transported from the sea, and the whole of Taizhou was blind

Li Yang: My lord, what's so strange about this, people have shipped food to my door, and I let people move it home, no one knows, it's normal, don't you know, don't you know, adult

Ji Fang: With such great ability, you dare to transport 2 million loads of grain from the south

Li Yang: My lord, as you know, the grass people are businessmen, as long as they can make money, the grass people will do it

Ji Fang: Yes, in order to make money, you will traffic illicit grain - drive up food prices - evade customs duties

Li Yang: My lord, I don't know where this tariff evasion begins

Ji Fang: The official asked you if you had paid the tariffs on the 2 million grain

Li Yang: Then before I sell the grain in my hand, I will pay the taxes that should be paid, if the adults bring the grass people to the country to collect taxes, then the grass people let people pay me, can they let me go?

Ji Fang: What you think is quite beautiful, you honestly told the official whether the Taizhou prefect took your benefits to turn a blind eye to your trafficking in illicit grain

When Li Yang heard Ji Fang mention Master Sun several times, he knew that things were not so simple now: Adults and grass people don't know what you are talking about

Ji Fang smiled slightly: It seems that you won't be recruited without punishment
