Chapter 136: Manjiang Autonomous Region (I)

After the arrest of Ningbo Pioneer Gongsun Leopard, the Imperial Iron Guard and the official collected 50,000 taels of silver and 3,000 acres of fertile land in his mansion, Yu Tianlu took the title deed and saw that the 3,000 acres of fertile land were all in Xiangshan County, Ningbo Pioneer Liupin Military Attache 60 taels of silver even if he did not eat or drink for 800 years, he could not save 50,000 taels of silver, and these stolen money and land deeds alone were enough to show that this Gongsun Leopard had a problem

But during the interrogation, Gongsun Leopard was really uncooperative, no matter what you asked him, except that I didn't know, I don't know what you were talking about, when asked how the 50,000 taels of silver and 3,000 acres of fertile land in Xiangshan County were obtained, Gongsun Leopard told Yu Tianlu even more confidently, "These money are all gifts given by the brothers under his command during the New Year and festivals and the money for family affairs, as for those fields, a few of my friends did not plant them, and I bought them with silver."

Yu Tianlu sneered: General Gongsun, you are very popular

Gongsun Leopard: The last general and his subordinates are not thin, and it is not surprising that the brothers have a few thoughts about the last general

Yu Tianlu: Then tell the officer what happened to the barbarian Jiang people who were imprisoned in the military prison

Gongsun Leopard: My lord, don't listen to those Diao people's nonsense, they are all sent by the Barbarian Jiang rebels to infiltrate Ningbo City to find out the military situation

Yu Tianlu: Then how do you know that these barbarian ginger people are meticulous?

Gongsun Leopard: As soon as these barbarian Jiang people entered the city, the officers and soldiers defending the city noticed that they were suspicious and always wandered around the city gate

Yu Tianlu: General Gongsun's official persuaded you to tell the truth, you are also a six-rank military attaché, looking at your colleagues, the official doesn't want to torture you, and the imperial secretary has many ways to make you speak, but you have to suffer some hardships, even if you are hard and lucky, you can still invite your family members over, I don't know if they can stand it

They can't be completely ignorant of the stolen money collected from your house, and as long as someone is willing to tell the truth, the official will keep him safe and sound, and if you say they will recruit him, as long as one of them confesses to the official, he can condemn you

The deeds you and Tan can do are enough to take your head, and your family members will be assigned to the border pass to die of hard labor, General Gongsun, do you really bear to see your family being assigned to the border pass That place is not a place for people to stay, as long as you truthfully recruit this official to ensure the safety of your family, maybe you can also save your life, General Gongsun is more important, you can consider it yourself

Gongsun Leopard: Can you let the last general meet with his family before the last general recruits?

Yu Tianlu: This official has approved

When Gongsun Leopard and Mrs. saw each other, the two hugged each other and cried bitterly, crying that was called a miserable, and Gongsun Leopard invited Mrs. over to tell her to take care of her father and children, and second, he hid a few hundred taels of silver in the old house in the countryside, which was enough for her and her family to spend in the next life

After explaining the aftermath, Gongsun Leopard had no worries and told him about the crime he had committed, and the matter had to start from five years ago, when Gongsun Leopard was still a cloud cavalry lieutenant from the seventh grade, that year Ningbo Mansion happened to vacancy a lieutenant to be promoted from one of the five lieutenants below, and Gongsun Leopard was one of the five lieutenants, and by chance he accidentally met Tan Neng at a family banquet held in Mengang

In Ningbo Mansion, the Meng clan is in power, many officials are from the Meng clan, Gongsun Leopard was not treated by the Meng family at that time, and Tan Neng was excluded by the Meng family, the two who had the same experience were heroes at first sight, cherishing the heroes, hating each other, after that, Tan Neng found Gongsun Leopard to drink a few drinks, so that the relationship between the two was one step closer, Sun Gongbao also knew that this Tan Neng in the national capital was also willing to associate with him for this reason, he wanted to use Tan Neng in the national capital to have a good career for himself in the future

Once the two were drunk, Tan Neng asked Gongsun Leopard if you wanted to be the captain, Gongsun Leopard didn't hide it - of course I wanted to, Tan Neng told him that if you want to be this captain, I can help you, although Gongsun Leopard was drunk, but he was not confused, if he wanted to be a captain, he had to get Meng Ang's consent, thinking that he was not treated by the Meng family in the first place, how could it be his turn to have such a good thing, and if you don't take some hard goods, who cares about you, Gongsun Leopard took what Tan Neng just said as a drunken nonsense

Gongsun Leopard didn't expect that he would really become this captain two months later, and Tan Neng was the first person to come to the door to congratulate him, which made Gongsun Leopard grateful to Tan Neng, Gongsun Leopard knew that Tan Neng must have run a lot of relationships for him in private, so he said that when he slowed down, he would definitely come to the door to thank him, and he couldn't let Tan Neng be busy in vain

And Tan Neng did show a sad look on his face: I came to visit today to congratulate you, and secondly, I may not be able to be the magistrate of Ningbo Prefecture for a few days

Gongsun Leopard asked him what happened to him why he said this, Tan Neng picked up the wine glass and drank a glass of wine: I encouraged the barbarian Jiang people to open up wasteland and farm in Xiangshan County, and occupied some of the forests they usually hunted, which caused the barbarian Jiang people to be dissatisfied with this, and also injured a lot of the servants under me, for this reason I arrested a few murderous barbarian Jiang people, and the barbarian Jiang people shouted that they wanted to go to the government to seek justice for them, and I was already excluded in Ningbo Mansion, and the Meng family will definitely take this opportunity to remove my official position

Gongsun Leopard is also a person who knows how to repay his kindness, thinking that Tan can help him so much, he has to help him once, Yu Gongsun Leopard said that he can find a way to block the barbarian Jiang people out of the city and prevent them from entering the city, as long as the barbarian Jiang people can't get to the state capital yamen, you won't be fine, but you have to hurry up and find a way to calm things down, so as not to have a lot of dreams in the future

At this time, as long as there are barbarian Jiang people to enter Ningbo City, the officers and soldiers will be strictly checked, and those who want to report to the officials will be controlled first, and wait for people from Xiangshan County to bring them back, and it didn't take long for Tan Neng to send 5,000 taels of silver to Gongsun Leopard, Gongsun Leopard was so frightened that he didn't dare to ask for so much silver, Tan Neng told him that the people who helped him run for official positions in the national capital these days were going to come to Ningbo Mansion, and these silver were for you to honor that person's family, and it was also a favor that people couldn't let people be busy in vain

Gongsun Leopard he just accepted the silver, but after that, almost every month there are barbarian ginger people to Ningbo City to report to the official, Gongsun Leopard let the officers and soldiers defending the city first control the barbarian ginger people who came, but they can't let the barbarian ginger people stay outside all the time, so they were invited into the military prison, and it won't be long before Tan Neng will send someone to bring these barbarian ginger people back, every once in a while, Tan Neng will personally send some silver to himself, more than a thousand taels or a few hundred taels, and unconsciously Tan Neng sent a piece of silver added to a piece has reached 30,000 taels

After a long time, Gongsun Leopard also became suspicious of Tan Neng, how could there be a barbarian Jiang people who came to Ningbo Mansion to report to the official, and where did he get so much silver, Gongsun Leopard privately sent someone to investigate, it turned out that this Tan Neng was a corrupt official and colluded with profiteers to oppress and force the barbarian Jiang people to seek huge profits, Gongsun Leopard wanted to clear the relationship with Tan Neng after learning about it, return the silver received, and spend the part he will find a way to make up as soon as possible

But Tan Neng did show a completely different side to Gongsun Leopard: You want to get rid of my relationship now, it's too late, do you think you can be alone if you break off the relationship with me

Gongsun Leopard: I didn't expect you to collude with profiteers to bully the barbarian people, I knew that I shouldn't have helped you in the first place

Tan Neng: Don't say it so ugly, I didn't ask you to help me at the beginning, you have violated the law by putting people in a military prison and accepting bribes without permission, you help me stop the barbarian Jiang people and prevent them from going to the government to report to the officials, otherwise why should I send you some silver every once in a while, now you and I are grasshoppers on a rope, and no one can run away if something happens

Think about your parents, wife and children at home, don't you want them to have a good life for a few more days, once the matter is revealed, you and I will not escape death, and the family will end up with the border pass, greedy for 10,000 taels is dead and greedy for 100,000 taels is also dead and greedy for 1 million taels is nothing more than a death, Lord Gongsun, there is no difference between you, you are a corrupt official, instead of living in fear, it is better to live a frank life, and enjoy all the things in this world are not in vain, Brother Gongsun, you don't think about yourself, you have to think about it for your family

Gongsun Leopard calmed down and thought about it, it is indeed the case, as the so-called bow has no turning back arrow can only go forward one step at a time, so Gongsun Leopard put his heart horizontally and embarked on a road of no return, talking about Gongsun Leopard is holding his head and crying and regretting what he did at the beginning

Yu Tianlu sighed: General Gongsun knew that this was the case, so why bother in the first place

With the result of the matter, Yu Tianlu led the imperial secretary to return to the national capital Yufeng City with the confiscated stolen silver, and Yu Tianlu came to the palace to draw up an excerpt of the results of the investigation and the confiscated stolen silver, and presented it to Lei Tai, the king of Zhejiang, together with the confession of Gongsun Leopard

Lei Tai took the excerpt and took a look at it and put it on the copy: Ningbo Pioneer Gongsun Leopard and his family, what are you going to do with it

Yu Tianlu: Although the prince and grandson leopard formed a party for personal gain and perverted the law, he was only an accomplice in the whole case, and when the lower official tried the case, Gongsun Leopard confessed to the crimes he had committed, and the lower officials implored Wang Yenian to serve in the army for many years in Gongsun Leopard and not harm people's lives to avoid the death penalty, and his family members were demoted to concubines to show the majesty of Wang En

Lei Tai: Quasi-this matter will be handled by the Criminal Department, what about Tan Neng's family

Yu Tianlu: Tan Neng is the main culprit in this case, and he is also the culprit of Chang Weiguo's rebellion, and tens of thousands of people died when the two countries met each other, Tan Neng not only harmed people's lives and embezzled a huge amount of money, and the crime is unforgivable

Leitai: Let's do it

Yu Tianlu: The prince begged to go to Xiangshan County in person

Leitai: Why?

Yu Tianlu: When Xiaguan investigated the case, he found that Changwei had more than 80,000 mu of cultivated land, but now it is only 30,000 mu, and Xiaguan wanted to find out how many mu of land can be cultivated in Xiangshan County, and Changwei has 100,000 people and 30,000 mu of land, and the output of 30,000 mu of land is not even enough for rations

Lei Tai: Let Yang Qian, the head of the Zuo Zhengshi, go with you, and the three of you will be responsible for negotiating peace with Chang Weiguo

Yu Tianlu: The prince and Chang Weiguo discussed peace, and if they proposed conditions, how should the officials be controlled

Lei Tai: This time Chang Weiguo raised troops to make a rebellion because Zhejiang was unkind in the front, and all the fields that could be cultivated in Xiangshan County were given to the people of Manjiang to cultivate, and Chang Weiguo was exempted from taxes for two years so that the people could recuperate, and 50,000 taels of silver were allocated to Chang Weiguo for the construction of the territory

With the instruction of the king of Zhejiang, Lei Tai, the next day, the imperial secretary Zuo Yushi Yu Tianlu - Zuo Zhengshi Yang Qian - Hubu Shilang Bai Sheng and the three of them set off to the Shuangma Mountain camp, and when they arrived at the Shuangma Mountain camp in Tianlu, they dealt with the results of the crime of forming a party and running a private business in Xiangshan County, and this time the meeting and the Zheguo gave the price code to the general Lei Qi dictated, Yu Tianlu wanted to personally hand over this will to Ah Cha Lan and the Jiang people to do justice

And Lei Qi did not agree to Yu Tianlu to go to the Manjiang Capital, because now the two armies are only temporarily armistice and have not formally negotiated peace, in case the Barbarian Jiang people change their hexagram and detain you, the situation will not be easy to control

Yu Tianlu thought about it as soon as he thought about it: then someone must send this will to the Manjiang people

Lei Qi: You don't have to worry about this, Lord Yu, I just have the right person

After saying that, he asked people to call Li Yang over, and after Li Yang entered the camp, the first thing he saw was Yu Tianlu and sitting next to him, these two people had never seen or known, but when he saw that the two of them were wearing red official uniforms and the other were wearing blue official uniforms, the officials were not small, so Li Yang bowed to the adults: The grass people have seen all the adults

Lei Qi casually handed the copy to him: The matter has been clarified, this time the Changwei State rebellion is indeed caused by the collusion between the Xiangshan County Decree and the profiteers to oppress and persecute the people, this will is the result of the crime and crime of the Xiangshan County Decree to form a party for personal gain, you go and hand over this will to Achean

Li Yang trotted forward all the way and the result was a will: General, is it possible to talk about peace now

Lei Qi nodded and replied, "Hmm"

Li Yang: What conditions should the general and the grass people give to the barbarian Jiang people to show their sincerity this time

Lei Qi: Don't rush to make conditions this time, you let Asha show some sincerity first

Li Yang: It's difficult for a general's clever woman to cook without rice, so she has to give others a little sweetness

Lei Qi: You should do what I say first, you have to calm down and not rush into the matter of peace

"It's a great general"

Li Yang packed up a change of clothes and set off with Li Pingping to the Manjiang capital, and before he walked out of the Shuangma camp, he heard someone behind him shouting, "Master Li, wait a minute" After Li Yang heard this, he turned around and saw that Yu Tianlu was walking briskly towards him, so Li Yang greeted him and bowed to Yu Tianlu: I don't know what is the matter with the adults calling the grass people

Yu Tianlu: You may as well give Ah Cha a tone to the Manjiang Capital this time, just say that this time the Council and Zhejiang plan to divide all the fields in Changweiguo to the Manjiang people for cultivation, and in addition, in the exemption of Changweiguo's taxes for two years so that the Manjiang people can recuperate, the official wants to measure how many fields can be cultivated in Xiangshan County from the beginning, and the control range of the coalition forces will be responsible for the official and Bai Sheng, the head of the household department, and you will let the Manjiang people measure how many fields there are in Xiangshan, and tell the official the specific number of acres when you come back

"It's an adult"

As soon as Li Yang and Li Pingping arrived at the Manjiang capital, Acha Ran, they knew that the matter had come to an end, and when Li Yang saw Ah Cha Ran, he handed over the will to him: King Acha Ran, this is the result of the crime and the crime of forming a party and running a private business in Xiangshan County, and the people of Chang Weiguo have finally been wronged

Ah Cha Lan hurriedly opened the will and looked at it carefully, but when he looked at him, his brows wrinkled: Why didn't Tan Neng and Gongsun Leopard punish them, Tan Neng died like that, but this Gongsun Leopard was not beheaded, this is partiality, Tan Neng and a few of them have finished our barbarian Jiang people in the past few years

Li Yang sighed lightly: You are looking at the will of King Acha Lan carefully, when I first saw it, I also felt that the sentence was a little light, and when I cut off the head, the knife in my hand was gone, and it was very pleasant to look at, but the crimes they committed in Chang Weiguo over the years have brought harm to the people of Barbarian Jiang, can you atone for your sins just by cutting off your head

I have heard people say that in that meal is porridge and you have to be whipped often, you start working before dawn until you get sick at night, and no one cares about you, how long can you live there, it is really fate, the woman is assigned to the official eunuch as a cheap maid, anyone can bully her, if the main family is not happy, it is said that the beating is beaten, or even not to eat, in short, life is better than death

Hearing Li Yang say this, Ah Cha and Duo Ji and others muttered a few words in private: "Hearing him say this, it is a pleasure to cut off the head."

"Isn't it?"

Li Yang: The envoy of the king of Achalan has already arrived at the camp of Shuangma Mountain, do you see if there are any conditions for this peace meeting?

Acharan: There is only one condition: in the future, the matter of Chang Weiguo will be decided by us barbarian Jiang people themselves

Li Yang: Zhejiang may not be able to agree to the condition of King Acharan, isn't Chang Weiguo's move equivalent to self-reliance

Acharan: Take this as an opportunity to talk about anything, and if Zhejiang doesn't want to, then continue to fight

Li Yang: The matter of the King of Murcha is too big, I have to go back and ask for instructions, or let this matter go, let's talk about other matters first

Tcha: Well, that's fine—what do you want to talk about?

Li Yang: The king of Acha Lan came with sincerity to discuss and Zhejiang this time, and the Imperial Commander Zuo Yushi Yu Tianlu wants to measure the arable fields of Chang Weiguo from the new level, and the places controlled by the coalition army will be personally responsible for him and Bai Sheng, the head of the household department, and the places controlled by the Gui Ministry in Xiangshan are also asked to send people to help measure it, and after the measurement is completed, the Zhejiang Congress will distribute these fields to the people of Chang Weiguo for cultivation, and Zhejiang will also reduce and exempt Chang Weiguo's taxes for two years so that the people of Changjiang can recuperate

Ah Chalan was a little unconvinced: no matter how much land there is, Zhejiang will be handed over to us

Li Yang: Well, the king of Acha Lang Zheguo has expressed his sincerity, shouldn't your ministry also show some sincerity to convince people?

Ah Cha Ran: Then you said that you want us to show our sincerity

Li Yang: Isn't the coalition commander Meng Ang-Gongzi Meng Ying still locked up with you, if you can release the two of them, it will be enough to show your sincerity

Ah Cha Lan and Hu Naji and the others briefly discussed: That's it, it's up to you to decide who they and their father and son will let go back

Li Yang: Thank you, King Acharan

Ah Cha Lan: The head of the Li family doesn't need to say thank you, as friends, we can't let you suffer, so we have to let you go back and have an explanation to earn some credit - you said no

Li Yang responded: Well, that's the reason

The two looked at each other and looked up and laughed, "Haha"
