In the General's Mansion, the officers and men of the cavalry battalion were searching the property from house to house, and even dug up every inch of land in the front and back yards, almost turning over the entire General's Mansion.

Zhang Youxun's relatives were also gathered in the front yard, these women, children and men looked at the cavalry battalion soldiers coming and going in fear, the men sighed, the women and children cried, a scene of the end of the world.

Xu Ming looked at those people coldly, there were about forty people, and they looked pitiful, but Xu Ming didn't have any pity. If Liu Yan hadn't made a quick decision this time and directly deployed soldiers and horses to fight back, it would have been Xu Ming and others who were unlucky.

"Check it all for me, don't let go of a house or an inch of land!"

"Order!"

This time, Xu Ming divided the cavalry battalion into four, Dong Yun, the general manager of the left, led his troops to Mao Xingyi's mansion, Du Zhongming, the general manager of the right, led his troops to Wang Ye's mansion, and the picket officer Lu Yuan took people to Dong Bihui's mansion, and at the same time raided the house and took people.

The soldiers of the cavalry battalion moved quickly, and Zhang Youxun's family members had no time to react, they were all blocked at home, and the money and food in the house naturally had no chance to be transferred.

It didn't take long for boxes of silver and belongings to come out from everywhere, all piled up in the open space in the front yard, Xu Ming stepped forward to take a look, and among the dozen or so large and small wooden boxes that had been turned out, there were five or six wooden boxes containing silver ingots and some gold ingots.

The rest of the wooden boxes were all strings of copper coins, Xu Ming looked through them, and saw that many of the strings of copper coins were already black and moldy, obviously the time was not short.

"These dogs are corrupt officials, they are insatiable, and they deserve death!"

Xu Ming angrily threw back the money string in his hand, and heard a flag commander under his subordinates running over and saying, "Commander Qiqi, I found seven granaries in the backyard, which are full of grain!" ”

Xu Ming was overjoyed, now Lingshanwei and Aoshanwei are most lacking in food, and hurriedly asked, "How much?" ”

"At least fifteen thousand stones!"

Fifteen thousand stone is not much, but it is also a windfall.

Xu Ming said: "Go and rummage through it again, see if there are land deeds, house deeds and the like in each house, that is, there must be Zhang Youxun's property in Moying City and various guard cities, find out, and send someone to receive it in the next two days." ”

"Yes!"

At the same time, Liu Yan and Miao Shao led the pro-guard battalion to guard the first banner and the first flag to the north of Jimo Yingcheng, and happened to meet Lu Xiangsheng's department along the official road south.

Liu Yan and Miao Shao hurriedly stopped the team, and everyone dismounted and saluted on both sides of the official road.

"Liu Yan?"

Lu Xiangsheng dismounted with a sweat on his head, ordered the two hundred iron horsemen accompanying him to rest for a while, and then summoned Liu Yan and Miao Shao to him.

"Liu Yan, what are you doing here?"

Liu Yan clenched his fists and said, "Governor, something has happened in Jimo Camp City!" ”

Lu Xiangsheng frowned, and secretly screamed in his heart: "Is it that Zhang Youxun heard the news and the dog jumped off the wall in a hurry?" ”

"Governor Mingjian, that's exactly the case!"

Liu Yan immediately sent Zhang Youxun together with Mao Xingyi, Wang Ye, and Dong Bihui to raise troops to rebel, and several people prepared to blockade the Jimo camp city and besiege and kill Lu Xiangsheng in the city. Liu Yan also made a point to explain that the guerrilla generals Li Jiwen and Hu Zongming did not participate, and this information was sent by the two of them, which can be regarded as meritorious.

Lu Xiangsheng's face was very ugly after hearing this, Zhang Youxun and the others reacted violently, beyond Lu Xiangsheng's expectations, it seems that the problem of Jimo Camp is very serious, and it is not a matter of greedy ink at all.

Lu Xiangsheng asked: "Liu Yan, you tell me the truth, how far has the matter been?" ”

Liu Yan's style has always been ruthless, and Lu Xiangsheng knows very well in his heart that although Zhang Youxun, Mao Xingyi, Wang Ye, and Dong Bihui have raised troops to make a rebellion, they must also go through the trial of the three law divisions, and they cannot act at will, otherwise there will definitely be discussions in the court, and it will be a hidden danger to Liu Yan and Lu Xiangsheng at that time.

"Qiyu Governor, his subordinates have detained Zhang Youxun, Wang Ye, and Mao Xingyi in the prison in Jimo Yingcheng. At the same time, his subordinates have sent people to start confiscating the property of several of them. ”

"What about Dong Bihui?"

"Uh."

Liu Yan said: "Dong Bihui led his troops to blockade the city, and in the melee, he was killed by his subordinates, and then all his subordinates surrendered. ”

Lu Xiangsheng glared at Liu Yan and said sharply: "Do you believe such a statement?" ”

Liu Yan said indifferently: "Whether the governor believes it or not, I believe it anyway." ”

Lu Xiangsheng snorted and asked again, "How many soldiers and horses are left of Zhang Youxun?" ”

"More than 600 people were killed, and the remaining 3,000 people were all imprisoned in the military camp in the city, waiting for the governor to be released."

Lu Xiangsheng sighed, this time Liu Yan saved his life again, whether Dong Bihui was killed by Liu Yan or not, he had nothing to say, all Liu Yan's decisions must be recognized.

So Lu Xiangsheng said: "Don't say anything superfluous, now let's go to Jimo Camp City, the beginning and end of this matter must be taken care of clearly, otherwise there will be endless troubles!" ”

Liu Yan was worried that Xu Ming's side would not have enough time, so he said: "Governor, it's getting late now, and it's still more than twenty miles away from Jimo Camp City, so we will have to wait until midnight when we get to the city, so it's better to find a place to rest for the night first, and then rush back early tomorrow morning." ”

Lu Xiangsheng was anxious at this time, and said categorically: "No! Go back now, this matter cannot be delayed, lest there be many dreams at night! ”

Late that night, Lu Xiangsheng, Liu Yan and others rushed to Jimo Camp City, outside the east gate, the guard was the commander Wang Yue, seeing Lu Xiangsheng and Liu Yan's banner, Wang Yue hurriedly ordered to open the city gate, and then walked along the road to the city gate, and welcomed Lu Xiangsheng and Liu Yan in.

Miao Shao looked at the courteous Wang Yue and quipped: "I said that the king commanded the envoy, you just greeted the governor and the lord, what about me?" Can't you see someone as big as me? ”

A group of soldiers of the new army burst into laughter, Wang Yue didn't care, and still said proudly: "You kid has time to tease me, it's better to find a daughter-in-law, lest you be energetic all day long and have nowhere to vent." ”

Everyone laughed even louder when they heard this, Liu Yan and Lu Xiangsheng also laughed, and their anxious mood instantly dissipated a lot.

"Governor, let's go to my house."

Lu Xiangsheng nodded in agreement, and the brigade went straight to Liu Yan's guerrilla general's mansion.

At this time, although it was already late at night, the guerrilla general's mansion was still brightly lit, Lu Xiangsheng and Liu Yan came to the main hall, Lu Xiangsheng sat directly on the top, and then said: "Bring Zhang Youxun and a few people up." ”

"Won't the governor take a rest first?"

"No, Ben Governor will ask them."

"Yes."

After a while, Zhang Youxun, Mao Xingyi, and Wang Ye were brought in with their heads down, and when the three of them saw Lu Xiangsheng sitting in the main hall, their faces suddenly changed greatly, and they knelt on the ground one after another, constantly kowtowing and begging for mercy.

Lu Xiangsheng said coldly: "Guerrilla Liu told the governor about the matter, and now the governor wants to listen to you himself, is it true?" ”

Mao Xingyi bowed his head and was silent, Wang Ye still begged for mercy by himself, Zhang Youxun looked at Lu Xiangsheng, then at Liu Yan, and said, "It's true!" ”

"Why?"

"The subordinates and others have been greedy for too much money and food for many years, and once the governor investigates thoroughly, we can't get rid of it, so I want to take risks, maybe there is a glimmer of life!"

Lu Xiangsheng let out a long sigh and said, "How good it would be if you used this blood and courage to fight against slaves!" ”

After speaking, Lu Xiangsheng waved his hand, and several soldiers took Zhang Youxun, Mao Xingyi, and Wang Ye down, and Lu Xiangsheng said: "Liu Yan, early tomorrow morning, you send someone to escort the three of them to Jinan Fucheng, and the governor will hand them over to the court to discuss the crime." ”

Liu Yan's eyes changed for a moment, and then he clenched his fists to take his life.

"Let's go, take the governor to Zhang Youxun's mansion to have a look."

Liu Yan looked at the sky outside, said hello, and said secretly in his heart: "I hope Xu Ming has finished his work now." ”

It didn't take long for Liu Yan and Lu Xiangsheng to come to the General's Mansion, and Xu Ming hurried to the door to greet them.

Lu Xiangsheng encouraged Xu Ming and other soldiers, and then strode to the front yard, and when he saw Zhang Youxun's family members, he reprimanded him loudly.

Taking advantage of this moment, Liu Yan asked in a low voice, "Are you done?" ”

Xu Ming whispered: "Don't worry, my lord, the things on Zhang Youxun's mansion have been prepared, and now they have been transported to the barracks for storage." Mao Xingyi, Wang Ye, and Dong Bihui's mansion are similar, and the time is in time. ”

Liu Yan nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng saw the property in the front yard and said to Liu Yan: "Liu Guerrilla, how is the money and food in the rest of the places?" ”

"The governor can rest assured, he has gathered and waited for the governor to fall."

Lu Xiangsheng patted Liu Yan on the shoulder and said: "According to reason, some of this money and grain should be left for you, but the governor has to take it all away, and now the situation in Shandong is very serious, money and food are needed everywhere, and the governor can't help it, I hope you can understand." ”

Liu Yan clenched his fists and said: "Although the governor has taken it away, his subordinates all understand. ”

"Good!"

Then Lu Xiangsheng went to the barracks to see the more than 3,000 prisoners, and said to Liu Yan: "It is also a big problem for these people to stay with you, even if the governor does you a favor, take them all away." ”

Liu Yan couldn't ask for it, these captives were all veterans, Liu Yan naturally couldn't look down on it, and he couldn't let it go, so he was worried about how to deal with it, and it saved a lot of effort to hand it over to Lu Xiangsheng.

Lu Xiangsheng inevitably reprimanded a group of prisoners in public, and then asked everyone to go to other places with him to reorganize and continue to serve the country.

By the time Liu Yan accompanied Lu Xiangsheng to finish his inspection, the eastern sky had already turned white, Lu Xiangsheng and Liu Yan had not slept all night, and they were both a little tired, so Liu Yan invited Lu Xiangsheng to go back and rest.

"No, Ben Du will leave now."

"Now?"

Liu Yan said in surprise: "Isn't the governor still going to guide the aftermath here, take a rest first, and then leave in a few days." ”

Lu Xiangsheng shook his head and said: "Corrupt officials are still being arrested elsewhere, and the civil uprisings in various places have not subsided. As for the Jimo Camp, it will be presided over by you for the time being. ”

"After the governor returns to the city of Jinan, he will recommend you to the military department as the general of the Jimo battalion with the help of quelling the chaos, and the Jimo battalion will be handed over to you in the future, I hope you will not disappoint the governor."

Liu Yan clenched his fists and said: "Don't worry, with me Liu Yan here, all parts of Jimo Camp will definitely take on a new look!" ”

Lu Xiangsheng left, and Liu Yan sent Zhang Yi to lead the soldiers of the left battalion to accompany him, escorting more than 3,000 prisoners to go together.

Liu Yan stood at the head of the city and looked at Lu Xiangsheng's team, and said to Xu Ming beside him: "Have you counted the money and grain you copied?" ”

Xu Ming said: "When I came out, I copied a total of 528,000 taels of silver, 389,000 stones of grain, and the rest of the gold ingots and silk were not counted, and there were more than 2,000 acres of cultivated land in various places, and more than 30 houses and shops. ”

Liu Yan said: "Transfer all the money and grain to Yue Ming, the money and grain official, hand over the title deed of the cultivated land to Zhang Lei, the official of Guantun, and hand over the remaining gold ingots, silk and houses and shops to Wang Jing, the head of the Chamber of Commerce, so that he can help sell them to merchants from all over the country and exchange them all for grain." ”

Xu Ming clenched his fists and took his life.

Then Liu Yan thought for a while, and said to Miao Shao: "The governor asked me to escort Zhang Youxun, Mao Xingyi, and Wang Ye to the city of Jinan, and prepare to hand them over to the imperial court, so that the three law divisions can discuss the crime." ”

Miao Shao hurriedly said: "The three of them have been bribing the senior officials of the DPRK and China on weekdays, and someone will definitely fish them out when the time comes!" ”

Liu Yan looked at Miao Shao coldly and said, "I think so too. ”

Miao Shao understood and left with his fists clenched.

A few days later, Lu Xiangsheng, who was inspecting corrupt officials in Laizhou's capital city, received news that Zhang Youxun, Wang Ye, Mao Xingyi, and their families, a total of more than 300 people, were overturned by wind and waves when crossing the Jiaoshui River by boat, and Zhang Youxun and more than 300 other people were all spared.

Lu Xiangsheng was stunned when he heard the news, and Lu Huaiying, who was beside him, widened his eyes even more, opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't dare to say it.

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng suddenly felt that Liu Yan was no longer the defender of the Qianhu Institute in front of Xiahe Village, and couldn't help but sigh: "Is it right or wrong for me to hand over the Jimo Camp to Liu Yan this time?" ”

Some people died, but not completely......
