Out of the palace, Guan Shanyue and Chu Liuyun led the horse side by side.

Guan Shanyue asked, "Do you know why I brought you into the palace?" ”

Chu Liuyun listened and replied: "The helper is to let his subordinates have insight. ”

Guan Shanyue smiled, and then asked, "What do you experience?" ”

Chu Liuyun touched his head and said, "There are some things that I don't know whether to say or not." ”

Guan Shanyue said: "But it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Chu Liuyun said: "I have heard for a long time that the Guan Gangism is Bo Yuntian, wise and brave, and determined to serve the country loyally, but the helper has just ......."

"But I didn't take the initiative to ask Ying to go to Pingwara to suppress the White Lotus Sect, right?" Guan Shanyue asked.

"Slow down!"

Chu Liuyun was about to speak, but was interrupted by a voice behind him.

Guan Shanyue looked back, and the person who came was Xu Ruochong, the commander of the Jinyi Guard. Xu Ruochong rushed forward and said, "Don't come to the Guan Gang Master." ”

Guan Shanyue snorted lightly and said: "My every move is listening to Jinyi Satellite TV, I am unharmed, Lord Xu couldn't be clearer." ”

Xu Ruochong smiled and said, "I am also acting on orders, which is really helpless." However, the Guan gang leader should know that the purpose of the Shengshang's establishment of the East Factory is to contain the Dragon Protector Gang. ”

"It's to contain Jinyiwei, right?" Guan Shanyue asked rhetorically.

Xu Ruochong said: "No matter who is contained, once the East Factory is established, it will definitely be a terrible organization." ”

Guan Shanyue said: "Over the years, you Jinyi Wei have been weaving prisons, have you killed fewer ministers?" The civil and military officials were silent when they heard the three words of Jin Yiwei. When it comes to the word terrible, Jinyiwei is well-deserved! ”

Xu Ruochong listened to him and said: "Over the years, Jinyiwei has dealt with many ministers, but they are all corrupt and perverted the law. Of course, it is inevitable to mistakenly kill a few Qing officials, which dynasty and which generation have not had unjust, false and wrongful cases? ”

Guan Shanyue said: "The Tao is different, and it is not conspiratory, so I will accompany less." ”

"Wait!" Xu Ruochong said: "I want to say a few heartfelt words to the Guan Gang Master. ”

Guan Shanyue said: "The military is imminent, Lord Xu will make a long story short." ”

Xu Ruochong said: "Does the Guan Gang Master remember Chen Ying?" ”

"He was once a celebrity in front of the emperor, so he naturally remembers." Sekiyamagaku Road.

Xu Ruochong said: "Yes, but why would the saint reuse Chen Ying?" The saint knew that he was not in the right position, and many ministers of the court and the central government were not convinced. The saint knew that Chen Ying's ability was limited and ruthless, but he still reused Chen Ying, but he was just using him to eradicate dissidents in the court. The dissidents were completely eradicated, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty complained about Chen Ying. The saint naturally executed Chen Ying to calm the anger of the public. The so-called rabbit dead dog cooks, and the bird hides the bow. This is a plan to kill people with a knife, killing two birds with one stone. ”

Xu Ruochong paused for a moment, and then said: "At the beginning of the establishment of Jinyiwei, the first commander Mao Xiang created the Hu Weiyong case, and in the end, he was killed by the emperor in order to calm the anger of the people. The second commander Jiang Xuan, the evidence of Lan Yu's rebellion was that he secretly told the emperor, and Lan Yu was also given death by the emperor after the case. The third commander Ji Gang, in the thirteenth year of Yongle, he put Xie Jin, the president of the "Yongle Grand Canon", in the snow and froze to death. In the fourteenth year of Yongle, he was killed by the current saint because he supported the Han king to seize the heir. Jinyiwei's successive commanders did not end well, as well as Ma Lin, Ding Jue, Qin Zhengxue, Zhao Wei, and Li Fang. Which of them wasn't a smash hit? Which one is not a person with vicious means? When they wipe out all the former ministers and lose their use value, the saints will find reasons to execute them one by one. ”

Guan Shanyue said: "I don't hear such a big rebellion, Lord Xu, please take care of yourself." ”

Xu Ruochong sighed and said, "I poured out my heart and lungs to the Guan Gang Master, but the Guan Gang Master was still wary of me. To tell you the truth, I decided to submit my resignation and resign from the position of commander of the Jinyi Guard to the Holy Lord. ”

Xu Ruochong paused, and then said: "Jiangshan was originally fought by the general, and the general is not allowed to enjoy peace. Ruthlessness is the most emperor's family, and there is no exception. Take care of the helper. ”

After speaking, Xu Ruo rushed to the horse and shouted, "Drive!" The horse's hooves got and went away.

Looking at Xu Ruochong's back, Guan Shanyue said: "Lord Xu is an important minister of the Three Dynasties, and he is still so scruples, the so-called companion is like a companion tiger, do you now understand why I don't take the initiative to ask for help?" The Dragon Protector Gang has made a big move, and the rumors about the Dragon Protector Gang in the court have never stopped. ”

Chu Liuyun was thoughtful, but he didn't talk anymore.

Guan Shanyue got on the horse and said, "If you are sharp and high, it is not a good thing. ”

After speaking, he quickly whipped his horse, and the horse neighed and drove away. Chu Liuyun nodded and followed.

The helmsman of the Dragon Guard, in the Hall of Loyalty. Guan Shanyue sat on a rosewood rattan chair. Chu Liuyun stood beside Guan Shanyue. There are two rows of seats under the head. The first person sitting on the left is the deputy gang leader Guo Jin. He is the same age as Guan Shanyue, handsome, and is known as the reincarnation of Pan An. His resourcefulness quickly led him to rise from helmsman to vice-leader.

Descending are Wen Cheng, Wu De, Mingyang, and Wan Li.

On the right, there are four hall masters of "loyalty, filial piety, festival and righteousness".

There were more than 20 people standing behind, and they were the helmsmen of the various sub-rudders urgently summoned by the General Orders Division.

I only heard Guan Shanyue say: "I called everyone here today, and I have important matters to discuss." ”

Everyone looked at each other, only to hear Guan Shanyue continue: "All the strange heavens gathered heavy troops in Xuanfu Town, plotting against each other. There is also the White Lotus Sect in Shandong. The Holy Lord has entrusted the matter of counterinsurgency to the Dragon Protectors. ”

"Dare to ask the helper, how many elite soldiers does the court send us?" The person who asked the question was thin, with a yellowish face and a long sword tied to his back.

"The emperor didn't mention this." Guan Shanyue replied.

Wan Li asked again: "Can you send war horses and weapons?" ”

"Nope." Sekiyamagaku Road.

"Is there any money to be paid?" The person who asked the questioner was in his seventies, his eyebrows and beards were white, and he was holding an iron abacus in his hand.

"Nope." Guan Shanyue replied.

After asking three questions, Wen Cheng frowned, and then said: "The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first." May I ask the helper, how can the army be dispatched without military pay? "Wen Cheng is the head of the four elders, known as the Iron Abacus. for the iron abacus in his hand never leaves his hand. His iron abacus is not just for settling accounts, but a unique secret weapon of the Wen family. The abacus is as hard as iron, but I don't know what material it is made of.

Guan Shanyue listened to his words and said, "When you win the battle, you will return to the division in triumph, and the Holy Lord will reward you." ”

"Commendation for what?" Wen Cheng asked: "Over the years, the emperor has made five northern expeditions. The Dragon Guardian Gang has contributed people and money every time. But after the class teacher returned to the court, he either gave a verbal commendation or a false title. Although the Dragon Protector Gang has a large number of people, most of them are businessmen, and they pay tens of millions of dollars in taxes every year. But the court still owes us eight million taels and does not pay it back. The brothers have long been complaining. ”

"Yes, the imperial court still owes us 8,000 war horses, and restricts us from casting weapons, how can we fight this battle? It's clear that they are taking us as the big culprit. The person who spoke was holding a judge's pen in his hand, his face was pale, he was probably in his sixties, and he was a well-known elder of the Law Enforcement Division. He enforces the law like a mountain, is selfless with an iron face, and everyone respects him for three points!

"That's right, the court just took us as the wronged leader."

"It's just that every time it's like this, I want to kill chickens and retrieve eggs, it's too much."

"If we don't listen to them this time, we won't do it!"

Everyone, you and I complained.

The famous person next to him holds a golden knife in his hand, and his chest is broad, which is comparable to the age of the famous. It is the elder of the General Order Division. In his early years, he was a disciple of the "Golden Daomen". Back then, the flowers splashed tears and blood washed the Golden Knife Gate, but Wu De was not on the spot and escaped. Later, Wude practiced hard and wanted revenge. It's a pity that there was no news of flowers and tears later. Later, he joined the Dragon Guardian Gang, and he rarely mentioned the past to anyone.

I only heard Wu De say: "Okay, let's stop arguing, listen to what the helper has to say." ”

"Wen Chengwude, famous for thousands of miles" The status of the four elders in the gang is not trivial. Only the four of them are qualified to hold weapons at the helmsman. As soon as Wu De spoke, everyone fell silent.

I only heard Guan Shanyue say: "Serving the imperial court is the responsibility of our Dragon Guardian Gang, if there is enough food, grass, soldiers and horses, and there is a military sound, will the Dragon Guardian Gang be able to send troops smoothly?" ”

Wen Cheng said: "That's nature. ”

Guan Shanyue asked, "How much do we need military salaries?" ”

Wen Cheng asked rhetorically: "How many people are the gang leader going to order?" ”

Guan Shanyue said: "We have to divide our troops into two routes, dealing with the Warat and the White Lotus Sect respectively. At least 20,000 elite soldiers and 5,000 horses are needed. ”

Wen Cheng nodded and said, "War horses and weapons are not counted, only grain and grass are paid, at least 500,000 taels." If you want to fight a protracted war, I am afraid that 500,000 taels is far from enough. ”

Guan Shanyue listened, nodded, and said to Guo Jin: "Brother Guo, the matter of raising military salaries and weapons will be handed over to you." ”

After finishing speaking, Guan Shanyue got up and walked away. Chu Liuyun wanted to leave with Guan Shanyue, but Guan Shanyue said, "You stay here." ”

Chu Liuyun didn't dare to disobey the order, and immediately stood in place.

Guo Jin is young and promising, shrewd and capable, and it seems that there is no problem that it cannot solve. After just seven years of joining the gang, he was promoted to deputy gang leader by Guan Shanyue. The two have a very good personal relationship and talk about everything, so they can be said to be good brothers who share life and death.

Guo Jin stood up, walked to the stage, and said, "Four elders, please go back." ”

Wait for the four elders to leave. Guo Jin looked at the hall masters and the helmsmen, and said, "The safety of the country is the responsibility of the husband. The court is in trouble, and the Dragon Protector Gang must bear the brunt. Now that the Dragon Guardian Gang lacks military salaries, I hope you will be generous. ”

Then, Guo Jin said to Chu Liuyun: "Little brother, you go and get a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and record everyone's thoughts." ”

Chu Liuyun found the four treasures of the study.

"Three or two."

"Five taels."

"Ten taels."

"Twenty taels."

"Thirty taels."

Everyone enthusiastically donated silver taels. Chu Liuyun's statistics totaled 1,237 taels. This bit of silver is used as military salary, which is really a drop in the bucket. Chu Liuyun looked at Guo Jin to see how he ended?

I only heard Guo Jin say: "The loyal hall is the third-rate, Daxing rudder, Wanping rudder, Liangxiang rudder, Changping rudder, Shunyi rudder, Miyun rudder, Huairou rudder, Pinggu rudder, Fangshan rudder." Except for the hall master and the helmsman I mentioned, the rest of the helmsmen and hall masters are invited back. ”

Chu Liuyun was confused and didn't know what he was going to do.

I only heard Guo Jin say again: "Hall Master Guo, the helper is very kind to you, and now that the gang is in trouble, Gang Master Guo should be generous and do his best." ”

Broken Sanliu sighed and said, "Okay! I'm willing to give another hundred taels! ”

Guo Jin looked at the third rate with sharp eyes, but did not speak.

The third-rate was stared at at very uncomfortable, and said at the moment: "That's it, I'm willing to give everything I have and take out three hundred taels." ”

Guo Jin shook his head, stretched out five fingers, and said, "You have to come up with at least this number." ”

"Five hundred taels?" Duan Sanliu was taken aback and said, "Gang Master Guo is looking for me to be happy, I don't have so much money for three years." ”

Guo Jin said: "I'm talking about 50,000 taels!" ”

Broken Sanliu "snorted" and said, "I don't have time to talk to you, so I won't accompany you." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and left.

Guo Jin said: "If I'm not mistaken, in the thirteenth year of Yongle, you took a concubine." ”

Broken Sanliu stopped, turned around and asked, "What?" Do I also have to take care of my family affairs? ”

When everyone heard this, they all burst out laughing.

Guo Jin also smiled and said, "I can't take care of your family affairs." But as far as I know, your concubine's name is Du Yueyue, and she is the top brand of the Moon Full Building. If I'm not mistaken, it was you who paid three thousand taels of silver to redeem you. ”

Duan Sanliu looked at Guo Jin and asked, "How do you know?" ”

Guo Jin said: "If you don't want people to know, unless you don't do it, the secret agents of the General Order Division are all over the world, and everything you do is in the hearing and hearing of the helper." It's just that you have made some contributions to the Dragon Guardian Gang, and the gang leader pretends to turn a blind eye. ”

Duan Sanliu looked a little flustered, and said: "Zhongxintang has earned a lot of money in recent years, I am greedy for three or five thousand silver, I am willing to donate five thousand taels to make up for my mistakes, and I implore Deputy Guo to help the leader be gracious." ”

Guo Jin shook his head and said, "Originally, it was understandable to be greedy for a few silver. After all, people in the rivers and lakes are bold by nature, and silver is indispensable. ”

Guo Jin paused, and then said: "But this silver can be spent indiscriminately, but it cannot be collected indiscriminately. ”

Broken Sanliu said: "Within ten days, I will definitely give five thousand taels of silver!" ”

Guo Jin smiled and said, "I gave you more than one chance, but you are smart and refuse to repent." Do I have to expose your shameful deeds? ”

Broken third-rate said hesitantly: "I...... I have no grievances with you, for ...... Why can't you get along with me? ”

Guo Jin said: "On March 28 last year, you spent a lot of money in Zuixian Building, and spent 1,500 taels on drinking flowers and wine with friends. On the seventh day of the ninth month, Mo Xian, the eldest disciple of the Vara National Teacher, gave you 30,000 taels of silver. On the ninth day of November, I gave you 40,000 taels of silver, I don't know if what I said is right? ”

Cold sweat flowed from the face of the third rate, and he knelt on the ground with a "poof", and said: "I haven't missed a word of the secret in the gang, I hope that Deputy Gang Leader Guo will be gracious!" ”

Guo Jin said coldly: "It is precisely because you did not leak the secrets of the gang that you can live to this day." ”

"Fifty thousand taels of silver," Duan Sanliu said: "I will make it together early tomorrow morning, and ask Deputy Guo to be gracious and forgive the sins of his subordinates!" ”

Guo Jin nodded and said, "I dismissed all the hall masters and helmsmen, and I have already given you enough face." ”

Breaking the third-rate kowtow, he said: "Thank you Deputy Gang Leader Guo, thank you Deputy Gang Leader Guo." ”

Guo Jin looked at another sturdy man and said, "Ma Qiankun Ma helmsman." ”

Ma Qiankun listened to his call, hit a spirit, his hands trembled slightly, and said in a trembling voice: "I...... I am willing to donate all my belongings, and tonight I will gather 50,000 taels of silver to present the helm. ”

Guo Jin nodded, looked at the thin man beside Ma Qiankun, and then said, "How does Lord Xie Helm say it?" ”

The thin man was Xie Jian, the helmsman of Daxing's rudder.

Xie Jian looked at Ma Qiankun, then at the third rate, and immediately said, "I will also give 50,000 taels." ”

Guo Jin said: "You have to donate 100,000 taels." ”

"One hundred thousand taels?" Xie Jian's eyes widened and he said, "I think you're crazy!" ”

Guo Jin said: "Last year's Mid-Autumn Festival, someone paid 100,000 taels to buy a human life from you, what? You're not going to run out so quickly, are you? ”

Xie Jian trembled and said, "I...... I killed traitors. ”

Guo Jin patted Xie Jian on the shoulder and said, "I know that if you kill Zhongliang, I won't turn a blind eye." ”

Xie Jian said: "More ...... Thank you Deputy Gang Leader Guo, 100,000 taels, I haven't touched a penny, and I am willing to use all of them as military salaries. ”

Guo Jin said: "Okay, the Law Enforcement Department will give you a big credit." ”

"Thank you, Deputy Gang Leader Guo." Xie Jian said.

Guo Jin looked at the next person, and the person who was staring at Guo Jin immediately said: "Changping is willing to donate 80,000 taels of silver." ”

All of a sudden, the helmsmen rushed to be the first and gave generously.

Guo Jin asked Chu Liuyun, "How much military salary have you collected now?" ”

Chu Liuyun summed it up and said, "There are 1.13 million taels in total. ”

Guo Jin nodded and said, "That's enough, there are gods in the three feet above your head, including me, everyone's every move is monitored." Just because you turn a deaf ear to what you're doing doesn't mean you will let it go. It's just that I have made a lot of contributions to you and give you a chance to mend your ways! ”

Everyone said in unison: "Thank you Gang Leader Guan, thank you Deputy Gang Leader Guo." ”

Guo Jin waved his hand and said, "Don't thank me, you have to be glad that you didn't do anything against your principles." Otherwise, no one will be able to save you! ”

After everyone left, Guo Jin patted Chu Liuyun on the shoulder and said, "Gang Master Guan asked you to participate in important meetings in the gang, and it can be seen that he values you very much." ”

Chu Liuyun smiled, not knowing how to answer.

Guo Jin continued: "Gang Master Guan has always attached importance to young talents, you have to seize the opportunity!" ”

Chu Liuyun listened and nodded.

In the middle of the night, Guan Shanyue summoned several elders and hall masters to discuss the military aircraft and let Chu Liuyun observe. Finally, the army was finalized and dispatched early the day after tomorrow. Let Guo Jin stay at the helm to deal with the help, and let Chu Liuyun assist, hoping to be taught by Guo Jin.

When he arrived, Guan Shanyue, who was physically and mentally exhausted, returned to his residence. But I saw that the house was brightly lit. Guan Shanyue came into the house and saw a few side dishes and a pot of wine on the table. He smiled knowingly, sat down and poured himself a drink.

This pot of wine is Bozhou reduced wine, Guan Shanyue has always liked to drink this wine. This wine has a long history. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, in the subtraction store of Bozhou, people found that there was an ancient well, the well water was clear and sweet, people used this well water to make wine, make tea, and the aftertaste was endless. Legend has it that a general lost the battle and threw his weapon into a well before he died. Who knows that after that, the well water is more pure and transparent than before, refreshing and moisturizing the throat, the wine brewed, ten miles of fragrance, the ancient well is famous, people call it "the world's famous well".

According to historical records, the predecessor of the liquor reduction was the "Nine Brewing Spring Wine", which was brewed by Cao Cao's subordinates. Later, Cao Cao dedicated the "Nine Brewing Spring Wine" and the wine-making method "Nine Brewing Method" to Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty, and the Emperor praised it as a court wine. Since then, winemaking workshops have sprung up in the Bozhou area. In the Song Dynasty, the store has become a famous wine production area, and the local people still have the saying of "whirlpool mandarin fish and Su water carp, and Hu Qin and wine banquet VIPs".

"Shanyue, are you back?"

Guan Shanyue looked up and saw a young woman in luxurious clothes and a pretty face standing in front of him. Her figure was a little plump, and there was not half a grain of sand on her snow-white face. This noble lady is Guan Shanyue's wife, Wang Yingying.

Guan Shanyue asked, "Madame hasn't rested yet?" ”

Wang Yingying said: "I heard that something big happened again, how can I sleep?" ”

"Madame has worked hard," Guan Shanyue said: "I have thought about it, when I return from the counterinsurgency, I will resign from the position of helper and go to live a peaceful life with my wife." ”

Wang Yingying looked at Guan Shanyue and said, "Are you willing to be the leader of the gang under one person and above ten thousand?" ”

Guan Shanyue said: "I have thought about it, pass on the position of helper to Brother Guo, and I also found a helper for him." ”

Wang Yingying thought for a moment and immediately said: "You are the hero of the world, how can I delay your future for my own selfishness." ”

Guan Shanyue said: "Now that the world is peaceful, the people are living a stable life, and my task has been completed." I want to retire, not only for you and me, but also to make room for future generations so that they can show their strengths. ”

Wang Yingying nodded and said, "My husband is indifferent to fame and fortune, and it is rare to be able to retire when he is in the middle of the day. ”

Guan Shanyue stood up, held Wang Yingying's jade hand, and said: "Commander Xu is right, accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, I never thought of fighting for a lifetime, and when I come back, we will go to the four seas, and we no longer have to worry about the grievances of the rivers and lakes, isn't it happy?" ”

Wang Yingying nodded and smiled, and said, "I listen to you." ”
