Chapter 050: Huai'an Cao Gang

It took Zhao Xin fourteen days to go back and forth, no more, no less, Chen Cao was running in the water division and the right guard during this time, and he had big plans to do.

In the study, Zhao Xin was eating the barbecue leg of lamb made by Chen Cao himself.

"Well," Zhao Xin was a little embarrassed: "It's so delicious, adult, you are really amazing, you can be literate and martial, and your cooking is so delicious." ”

Chen Cao was not idle, he asked the workshop to make a dense grid grill, and he barbecued at home without any trouble: "This is called delicious? Chen Cao tore off a piece of meat with a knife and put it in his mouth: "This thing only has salt and some spices, and some pepper powder, if there is a chili pepper, it is more delicious." ”

"Chili?" Zhao Xin's hands were full of oil: "My lord, those spices are all tributes sent by those Nanyang countries in Manchuria, they are extremely expensive, and their subordinates dare not buy them, they are too luxurious, and the chili peppers are also Fanbang goods?" ”

"Hey..."Chen Cao sighed: "You don't know, that chili pepper is really delicious in the world when used to eat, if it is used in the army, it can not only keep out the cold, but also kill and injure the enemy, it is a real good thing." ”

"Really? What does it look like? Zhao Xin didn't stop talking.

Chen Cao said: "The green twig, after that thing hangs fruit, it is first green, and then it is red, long and bright. ”

"Hmm..."Zhao Xin hurriedly stopped and put down the leg of mutton: "Don't say it, my lord, my subordinates have seen it." ”

"You've seen it?" Chen Cao frowned: "Where is it, say it quickly." ”

"Hey, my lord, why do you always like this strange thing in the state?" Zhao Xin quipped: "The last time the adults went to Shen Ji's grocery store, the subordinates walked around their backyard with nothing to do, and there was this thing in Shen Ji's garden, it was bright red, it was all long, and the subordinates picked one with itchy hands and put it at home, but it didn't take long for the thing to fall away, and the subordinates threw it away." ”

"It's a nice job," the corners of Chen Cao's mouth rose: "Let's go to Shen Ji tomorrow and dig that thing back, it's just right to plant this season." ”

"The Duke of Wei Mansion also has that thing," Zhao Xin said disappreciatively, under Chen Cao's frightened expression, Zhao Xin said: "Don't be surprised, my lord, the rich merchants and wealthy families in our Jinling all like to grow that thing, they don't eat it, they take it to see, they think it's flowers..."

Chen Cao nodded: "Wash your hands, let's get down to business when we're done..."

Zhao Xin was about to wipe his greasy hands on his robe, Chen Cao drank it, and then took out a yellow lump: "This is called soap, it can perfectly wash off the greasy hands on your hands, and your hands are not dirty at all, you and I invented it myself, you try..."

After Zhao Xin finished speaking, he felt that his hands were very comfortable, so he praised him: "My lord, you are really a genius, this thing is so easy to use, it can be sold to those rich merchants..."

"Well, that's what I thought too." said and knocked Zhao Xin's brain: "Talk about business..."

After Zhao Xin was done, he said: "My subordinates went to Jinan as soon as I was instructed by my lord, don't you know, my lord, Miss Weng was not imprisoned in the Yamen of Yousi in Shandong, but directly in the governor's yamen." ”

"Governor's Yamen?" Chen Cao frowned?

"Yes," Zhao Xin nodded: "Fortunately, the subordinate is the envoy of Nanzhen, and he saw the governor Zhao Yan in the name of our Jinyiwei, the old guy has a big temper, he doesn't recognize our Jinyiwei, and refuses to let his subordinates take Miss Weng away." ”

"What about people?"

Zhao Xin took a sip of tea: "The subordinates pressed Zhao Yan in the name of your lord, and the old guy refused to let go, saying that we were doing nonsense and making trouble unreasonably, so the subordinates forcibly pressured him as a Jinyi guard, and told Li Weihan what happened to him." ”

"It's that simple?" Chen Cao squinted at Zhao Xin and didn't believe his words.

Zhao Xin laughed: "Of course, the subordinates said that you are a celebrity in front of Gonggong Wei, and I heard that he was going to Jingshi to be a high-ranking official in the ministry, and then threatened him." ”

"You bastard," Chen Cao couldn't help but knock him out again.

Zhao Xin grinned in pain, but he also smirked: "So, Zhao Yan agreed with his subordinates to take Miss Weng away, but the matter turned to the Yamen, the governor of Caoyun. ”

Chen Cao was confused, but he figured it out again, Zhao Yan knew what was at stake, so he handed over the hot potato of Weng Meixin to the Yamen, the governor of Caoyun: "Zhao Yan's old thief is good enough, so he won't offend the Kong family, and he won't have to worry about our private revenge." ”

"Speaking of revenge, my lord, my subordinates heard from Jinyiwei's brother in Jinan that the Kong family seems to know that we did the matter of the wall, but they can't find evidence."

Chen Cao is not afraid of a mere Kong family: "What if you know, wait until you and I are prosperous, hehe, you can choose the women of the Kong family..."

When Zhao Xin heard this, his eyes lit up: "Really? ”

"Well," Chen Cao held back a smile: "Give me everything under the age of thirty, and those over the age of thirty are yours, and you are not allowed to shirk..."

"Huh?" Zhao Xin: "......"

"You mean Weng Meixin is now in the Yamen of the Governor of Caoyun?" Chen Cao asked.

"Yes," Zhao Xin nodded: "Yang Yipeng accepted the official document and asked his subordinates to choose the opportunity to retrial, and then if they can't get anything famous, then they will be beheaded." My lord, when are we going to act? ”

"Don't worry," Chen Cao had already made a plan: "Wait until Weng Linzhi has a move, and then check the situation in Huai'an for me after you go back." ”

"Yes..."Zhao Xin, who turned to leave, couldn't help but turn around and ask Chen Cao again: "My lord, are you over thirty years old?" ”

Chen Cao nodded righteously: "After blowing the lamp and pulling out the wax, it's all the same..."

Zhao Xin: "......"

...

Huai'an Mansion City, Caoyun Governor Yamen

Pan Yourong and Yang Yipeng sat in the same direction, and opposite them sat a middle-aged and elderly man in his fifties, who looked powerful and powerful, but his spirit was not very good.

Yang Yipeng was dressed in a scarlet robe: "Master Weng, how is it, have you thought about it?" As the governor of Caoyun, this official naturally wants to be headed by Caoyun, and if you Rentang is doing mischief in Jinan, if you can't discipline it, this official feels that this so-called Rentang is dispensable. ”

Weng Shijie sneered at the corner of his mouth, and then stared at Pan Yourong on the side and said: "Pan Yourong, I think you have forgotten the ancestral teachings of the Cao Gang, and now that you have gained power, you can do what you want to do directly, you don't need to bring people from the government in, do this, don't you think that your villainous actions are unpopular in the gang?" ”

"Hahaha..."Pan Yourong laughed loudly: "Weng Shijie, things have come to this point, I don't hide it, the court is quite complaining about Caoyun, the capital is now eyeing Caoyun, your Rentang Weng family is most dissatisfied with my Cao Gang, the Qian family now knows the current affairs, follow my Xintang, and you want to be your own faction, you say, you Rentang took off the banner of my Cao Gang, what can you do?" ”

Weng Shi's face did not change: "Since Mengyuan, my Weng family ancestors have lived in the canal, at that time it was the largest Caoyun home in the entire canal, your Pan family and the Qian family only climbed to come, Weng Qian and Pan three families are in charge of Caoyun, Pan Yourong, you have forgotten the ancestral teachings, what face do you have to say this to me." It's still the same sentence, it's impossible for Rentang to be attached, I'm in one day, you Pan Yourong don't think about any good plans to implement..."

Yang Yipeng's face was angry, and when Pan Yourong saw this, he simply tore his face: "Weng Shijie, all your halls in Jinan have been taken by the Yamen, and the people under him are either surrendered or cleaned up, those who like to resist stubbornly have also been used as ringing horses to steal the whole family, and your three sons have led people to resist the official army in Jinan, and they have all been killed..."

"Dog thief..."Weng Shijie couldn't sit still at all, and was about to get up and do it immediately, but he was pressed on the chair by the prepared soldiers: "The old man wants to kill you a dog thief." ”

"Don't get excited," Pan Yourong mocked: "Your third son Weng Linzhi is still alive, I heard that this kid went to Jinling to ask for help, you don't know, he asked Chen Cao of Jinyiwei for help, I really can't do anything about him for a while, but your daughter Weng Meixin has been convicted, and the autumn queen asked to behead, then Chen Cao sent her to Jinling in the name of Jinyiwei, but it's a pity, by the way, she has been escorted to Huai'an, just in the city, before you die, let your father and daughter meet, and then you will go to Huangquan Road together." ”

Yang Yipeng is an official, and he can't be too ruthless on the surface, so he got up and walked out: "I'll leave it to you here, it's better for the Cao Gang's affairs to end quickly, otherwise there will be something pressing down in the court, and the official won't be able to protect you." ”

...

"My lord, there is Huai'an Mansion City in front," Zhao Xinli was on the horse, drinking water, and it was already very hot in Nanzhili in July: "There are our people in Shanyang County, and there are both the north and south divisions." ”

Huai'an Mansion, Shanyang County

"My lord, in our territory of Nanzhili, who dares to disobey the discipline of adults?" Xu Kaixian said proudly.

Not to mention, since Wei Zhongxian became strong this year, the status of Jinyiwei has risen sharply, and now Nanzhili, if you talk about officials, it should be Chen Cao, the head of the eunuch Jinyiwei.

Chen Cao touched the sweat on his body, this robe is really not suitable for wearing in summer, he has already thought about what clothes he will design in the future: "Don't go, go to the tea stall in front of you to drink a bowl of tea, I'm hungry too..."

The owner of the tea stall saw the brocade guards of the brigade come to the door, and he was so frightened that Zhao Xin's scarred face was a typical smiling tiger even if he laughed, and he still let Xu Kai come forward first to stabilize the boss, gave the boss a penny of silver, and arranged dozens of lieutenants under him, even so, the boss still didn't dare to accept it, and said that the money was too much, so that Zhao Xin pulled out a knife and put it on his neck, and the boss cried and accepted the silver.

"Zhao Xin, why are the people of Nanzhili so afraid of our Jinyiwei?" Chen Cao drank a bowl of bitter tea and wiped his mouth: "What did you kid do with this skin?" ”

Zhao Xin nibbled on a piece of bun and took a sip of tea: "No, according to the instructions of the adults, the land in Yanzhou Mansion needs to be planted, and the subordinates will let these merchants in Nanzhili hand over the filial piety silver according to the market price, and then use this money to recruit displaced people to farm for the adults." ”

Chen Cao's eyes glared at the boss, no wonder the people along the way were so frightened that they fled frantically when they saw Jinyiwei, and the emotional matter was here: "If you dare to do anything in the name of Jinyiwei in the future, hehe, you know my relationship with Wei Zhongxian, I will castrate you and send you to the palace as my internal response." ”

Zhao Xin was so frightened that the buns fell, and he quickly confessed, and was mocked by Xu Kaixian before staring at him: "How is the matter for you to inquire?" ”

Zhao Xin put down his things: "My lord, I figured it out, according to the report of Fucheng Sitting Detective, it was indeed Pan Yourong who was in the rectification of Weng, the power of the Weng family in Jinan was basically uprooted, the Weng family had four sons and a daughter, the eldest child, the second child, and the fourth child were killed on the spot in Jinan to resist the encirclement and suppression of the official army, and the third child, it was that Weng Linzhi escaped, I heard that it was Miss Weng who covered his evacuation, so he was arrested by Ren Chengwei and then sent to Jinan. ”

"Ren Chengwei? Jiang Wanchun also seemed to have taken the courage. Chen Cao sneered.

"It is estimated that Jiang Wanchun is also acting on orders, and it has to be the ghost of Kong You's behind," Zhao Xin continued: "Miss Weng was also taken into Huai'an by them, it is said that Weng Shijie was used after he arrived in Huai'an, and the governor Yamen also arrested Weng Shijie, and he heard that the head was to disrupt Cao's luck." ”

Chen Cao frowned and thought about it: "It stands to reason that there must be someone in Jinan who can gain a firm foothold in Jinan, Pan Yourong is so tidying up with him, why hasn't his helper done it for a long time?" ”

"I can't move my hand, my lord," Zhao Xin interjected: "Cao Yun is related to the livelihood of Beizhili, and even the entire north, the imperial court will never allow anyone to point fingers at Cao Yun, how majestic Li Sancai was in charge of Cao Yun back then, what he said is what he said, and he dared to argue with the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang, Yang Yipeng gave Weng Shi the crime of the crown, and went to the imperial court, the emperor will definitely support Yang Yipeng's words, my lord, to ensure the harvest of autumn grain..."

"Makes sense..."Chen Cao nodded: "Yang Yipeng's current status is really special, I heard that behind him is Li Yangchong of the Metropolitan Procuratorate?" ”

"That's him," Zhao Xin nodded: "The oil and water of Caoyun are amazing, the ships going north must pass through the Huai'an Wharf, as long as someone has a heart to shake at the wharf, a boat will charge ten cents, my lord, this year, casually four or five million taels of silver is to be captured, so the people in the DPRK and China are all squeezing their heads and want to be the governor of Caoyun." ”

"So, Yang Yipeng and Wang Yiqing, the chief soldier of Caoyun, are both people of the same way?" Chen Cao frowned.

Zhao Xin nodded: "It's true, but Governor Zhao Yan should know the details, I'm afraid there is also collusion with them." ”

Chen Cao drank the last sip of tea: "These people are a large group of fat sheep, hehe, it just so happens that the workshop spends a lot of money now, and I am short of money, so I will slaughter him this time, and I can't make a big windfall." ”

Zhao Xin's eyes lit up when he heard that he was rich: "The subordinates will definitely do the things arranged for the adults." ”

"Let's go, let's go into town..."

...

"Helper, helper... Something big is wrong..."

Pan Yourong was sorting out the account books: "What's the matter?" ”

"Chen Cao, the commander of the Jinyi Weinan Town Fu Division, brought a large group of Jinyi guards into the city, and now he has gone to the governor's yamen, and our brother with the leader was sent out, and he was interrupted on the spot and retreated..."

Typical dismounting...

Pan Yourong's expression was solemn, he knew that Chen Cao was coming, but he didn't expect it to be so soon, and he went directly to the Yamen of the Governor of Caoyun when he entered the city: "Go and prepare a hundred thousand taels of silver tickets, and also, book a banquet in Chunfeng Building, tonight..."

"Yes, the little ones are going..."
