Chapter 120: Dengzhou Scheme
Wu Song led the way, and it didn't take long for the team to come to a big mansion.
Zhao Ta looked at the horse, only optimistic about a house, and saw that the willows were swinging in the spring wind, the buds were good in spring, and a red apricot came out of the wall, but it was delicate and pretty.
He said: "Taishi Cai and the eunuch of the court have always been happy to receive Yizi Gan'er, I thought that it was very beneficial to open a medicine shop, but I didn't know that this small Yanggu County actually hid mountains and rivers!" β
Everyone didn't dare to speak, just waiting for him to give the order, Zhao Ta nodded and said, "Surround this house, don't let people escape." β
The five hundred dragon guards don't know what to do, their faces are not revealed, but their hearts are very excited, sure enough, they have meat to eat with the two kings, look at this mansion, it is rare among the rich families in Tokyo, fortunately, the first commander did not come, otherwise it would not be cheaper for them.
Ximen Mansion has a gatehouse, although the gatehouse does not dare to exceed the system, but also looks tall, in front of the door a black-clothed guy is sweeping the petals floating out of the courtyard, suddenly saw this many high-headed horses of the army arrived, just wanted to bend down to say hello, one of the horses shouted and dodged, not by the "ah" sound, dropped the broom and ran to the side.
That horse is the commander of the first nine battalions, this person is called Zhou Xiao, born burly, as for the martial arts, it doesn't matter, but there is still some strength.
He rode forward, slammed the iron gun in his hand, and then shouted "Open", and the two gates burst into the courtyard and flew straight into the courtyard, but although the doors were opened, the gatehouse did not move.
Zhao Ta thought he was useless, and said, "A few more people, all of them have been pushed!" β
Several military envoys came up at the same time, and together they exerted force, and the "boom" sound knocked down all the gates of the Ximen Mansion from top to bottom......
But he said that Ximenqing was at home today, and he was not waiting for the news from Pan Jinlian's side, but he was waiting for the letter to come, so people were a little restless, and they were afraid that a few maids and maids would come to entangle, so they got up and walked out.
Just walked out a short distance, he heard a loud noise, but it was the main gate, he wondered in his heart and hurried a few steps, and suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves "trampling", and couldn't help but have a stronger puzzle on his face.
Ximen Qingzi is also a smart person, otherwise how could he take such a big fortune and dispose of such a big business, seeing that there was no one around, he hid behind a house, and then saw a lot of cavalry rushing in.
These cavalrymen were all majestic and angry, and he was immediately shocked in his heart, which one of them provoked him, and he actually led the troops to rush into his home?
Ximen Qing panicked in his heart, and just waited to take a closer look, but saw that one of the riders was a little familiar, but he was shocked when he thought about it, isn't this the enemy who formed in the ghost fan tower in the capital!
But how can this enemy hold such a grudge? After a long time, he actually came to Yanggu County? Ximen Qing looked at those cavalrymen, the red flowers between his temples fell in fright, and he only hated that he shouldn't have gone to the ghost Fan Lou in the first place, even if he knew Taishi Cai, but he also knew the truth that heroes don't eat the losses in front of them, and turned around to hide.
But at this time, the maid Xiuchun and Lan Xiang came over together, they were all good with him, Xiuchun shouted: "Big official, what's the big deal ahead, why are so many people riding in?" β
Ximenqing wanted to poke them to death at this moment, and he didn't answer, but his face was pale, and he quickly fled under his feet, only Wu Song knew him among the people, and he happened to see it, and yelled: "Ximenqing, don't run!" β
Ximen Qing dared to stop, but this house was surrounded like an iron bucket, and he couldn't escape at all, and he was caught up by Wu Song in a moment.
Zhao Ta didn't care about this, and ordered to take people, this incident was enough to be done at dusk, Ximen Qingzi was killed by Wu Song, and the forbidden army searched dozens of large boxes of property, all of which were loaded and pulled out of the city.
Camped outside the city, Zhao Ta checked things, Lin Lin finally came down, it was worth hundreds of thousands of silver, not counting those household belongings that could not be taken away, all kinds of furnishings and objects, at least worth tens of thousands.
Zhao Ta knew that even if Ximenqing's crude medicine shop made more money, how could there be many, and it was probably accumulated by secretly robbing and taking it secretly, and he was thinking about it, when suddenly a report came from outside the door that Shi Wenkui, the magistrate of Yanggu, asked to see him.
Zhao Ta let people in, as soon as this Shi Zhixian entered the door, he presented several evidences of Ximen Qing's secret communication with the Liangshan thieves, Zhao Ta took it and took a look, but it was all done seamlessly, and he couldn't help laughing: "How long has Shi Zhixian been in office?" β
Shi Wenkui's heart jumped and said, "It's been four or five years since I returned to the prince." β
Zhao Ta said: "The original local official positions in this dynasty will be transferred in one or two years, and after the restructuring of Yuanfeng, it has been slightly delayed, but four or five years is really too long. β
Shi Wenkui said: "What the prince said is extremely true, and the lower officials ...... In addition to the evidence of Ximen Qing's rebellion, Xia Guan also brought some things to the prince. β
Zhao Ta said with a smile: "Shi Zhi County is so polite that this king is unspeakable. β
Shi Wenkui said: "If it weren't for the prince coming to Yanggu, the lower officials would probably not be able to see the prince's demeanor for the rest of their lives, and the lower officials could give gifts to the prince, which was the blessing of the lower officials." β
Zhao Ta looked at him and said for a moment: "Since Shi Zhi County is polite, this king can't let you lose, the crude medicine shop Ben Wang didn't copy it, and the house didn't copy it, Shi Zhi County can check it again." β
Shi Wenkui said happily: "The lower officials understand, the lower officials understand." β
Zhao Ta said again: "Those that don't matter are let go, and the rest should be released, as for how to report to the court, you can do it yourself?" β
Shi Wenkui said: "Don't worry, don't worry about it, don't dare to say anything else, these proportional officials can still handle it." β
Zhao Ta nodded, and after sending away Shi Wenkui, he called Wu Song again, Wu Song wanted to take care of Wu Dalang and couldn't leave Yanggu for the time being, he and Wu Song confessed and took the silver afterwards, Wu Song bowed and said: "The prince is gracious, when my brother is injured, he will go to the tent to die." β
Zhao Ta said: "Erlang, and Mo Duoyan, it is important to take care of my brother." β
Wu Song bowed and bowed before leaving.
Early in the morning of the second day, without being sent, Zhao Ta led the team straight to Dengzhou.
Because he acted in secret, after entering Dengzhou City, he didn't even see Zhizhou, and lived directly in Ma Zheng's mansion.
Although Ma Zheng is a military attachΓ©, he is quite elegant, Zhao Ta chatted with him and realized that he was originally a subordinate of Zhi Yanye, who was the elder brother of Zhi Yanzhi, and is now the first deputy general of Qin Fenglu.
Although the imperial court gave Ma Zheng a secret decree, everything still needs to be discussed and planned with Zhao Ta, especially how many people to bring and how many ships to bring, these imperial courts are not assigned, and they need to decide for themselves.
At dusk on this day, it was the third day of entering Dengzhou, Zhao Ta sat on the chair in Ma Zheng's study with his hands on his pillows, looked at Ma Zheng and Hu Yanqing in front of him, and sighed: "This king is really a little worried, he hasn't even seen the sea for a few years, let alone going to sea. β
Ma Zheng had a long beard on his white face, glanced at Hu Yanqing with a black face on the side, stood up and saluted: "Lord Wang, this is a poor consideration by his subordinates, it is better to go to the beach tomorrow to watch, let the prince sit on the boat to feel it, and watch the sea scene by the way." β
Zhao Ta looked at the sky outside when he heard this, and said lazily: "It's still waiting for tomorrow, it's not too late now, let's go and take a look!" β
