Chapter 86: See the Move
In the face of Yang Ge's understatement.
Xiong Jun suddenly laughed hysterically: "You don't know what you're facing!" ”
Of course he knew what Lord Yang in front of him had said to him.
is telling him the causes and consequences of the embroidered guard's encirclement and suppression of his Changfeng Gang.
is also telling him that the people behind him can't even protect themselves this time, let alone protect him......
He also knew that he really didn't have a choice.
The Lord Yang in front of him, his family, may have a way to live.
Otherwise, even if the embroidered guard could raise his noble hand and let them go all over the house, the people behind him would definitely cut down the grass and eradicate the roots.
He knows too well how cruel those people's hearts are and how vicious their hands are!
In the past, he has cut the grass and eradicated the roots for them......
So, from the moment the embroidered guards broke through the gate of his Changfeng Gang's helm.
He had no choice.
But he was still afraid!
for he saw the night, and the darkness......
"I really don't know what I'm facing."
Yang Ge pondered for a moment before answering truthfully, "That's why I need you to help me open my eyes...... I don't dare to promise anything else, but as long as you fully cooperate with me, as long as I am alive, there will be no accidents for your descendants! ”
He said it solemnly.
Xiong Jun was full of bitterness: "Is there a choice for a certain family?" ”
Left and right are full of death.
He could only hope that the Lord Yang in front of him would be as upright as he said.
Even he felt sarcastic.
He has made black gloves for people for half his life, and in the end, he can only hope that others are not rotten people like him.
Yang Ge didn't say anything more, but turned to Yang Tiansheng and said: "Brother, this guy's family will ask you to take care of it first, except for me, no one can see his old and young, and you will be bothered to do it yourself when you eat and drink!" ”
Yang Tiansheng: ......
……
Position one switched.
Xiong Jun, the quick knife in the hands of corrupt officials in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, immediately became a decapitating knife that took their lives.
Boxes of gold and silver were brought out from the secret places.
A ledger hidden in a hidden place was copied.
The 400 officers and men of the upper right station searched for the plan and ran in all directions to arrest the people in charge of each link of their line.
The lockdown was less than two days.
In Jiangdu City, up to Yang Yuting, the prefect of Yangzhou, and down to most of the villagers, all of them were locked in shackles and imprisoned.
All of a sudden, the government prison was overcrowded!
If we say that the result of the previous case of the three major grain merchants hoarding Juqi was a stick falling on the water, knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger.
Then the way to deal with it this time is to really slash it on the mud......
Yang Ge sat at the helm of the Changfeng Gang, constantly synthesizing the confessions and evidence collected by all parties, sorting out and improving the criminal puzzle of corrupt officials and corrupt officials in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
The Changfeng Gang is the Jiangzuo Gang, with rudders and manpower all over the eleven provinces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
In the rest of the realm, the rudder and manpower of the Changfeng Gang also played the same role as the Jiangdu rudder.
While controlling the black and gray industry in the area.
On the one hand, he cooperated with the local bureaucrats and landlords to exploit the people.
A small part of the land money obtained was intercepted from each floor, and the bulk of the land was sent up layer by layer.
The entire system of corruption and bribery is like a pyramid.
The greater the official position and the higher the position, the more money and land you will get.
And those at the top don't even know where the land and money come from!
Of course, they may not care about these inconsequential and insignificant "little things"!
What they have to do is just to recommend and promote their subordinates at the right time, and help them cover up some ugly things that have leaked out.
Perhaps in their eyes, this is "feeding back Sangzi".
Such a method of exploitation has divided the huge Jiangsu and Zhejiang into two completely different worlds.
The people at the bottom are miserable and miserable.
The bureaucratic landlords of the upper echelons were clothed and fed, singing and dancing.
On the whole, there is still a faction of national peace and security, and the four seas are peaceful......
Yang Ge just sorted out this huge corruption and bribery system, and he felt depressed and hopeless.
I only feel that the sky in the south of the Yangtze River is not a blue sky and white clouds.
It's an impenetrable net......
In this big net, no matter how heart-rending the cry is, it is silent.
Today, Yang Ge is also at the center of this big net......
He no longer only thinks about doing what he can do and what he can manage.
He also wants to stab this piece of heaven with a knife, a hole!
So that the fresh wind can blow into this damp and moldy world.
But his thunderous action soon ushered in wave after wave of backlash.
First of all, on the second day after he seized the Yangzhou Mansion, a large number of 100,000 urgent official documents flew into the Mansion like snowflakes.
Some are a summary of the autumn harvest in various places.
Some of them are asking for instructions on the repair of the embankment of the Qiuxun River.
There are also requests for obstruction of tax collection......
Everything is an urgent government that must be dealt with immediately, and whoever dares to influence it will have to lose his head.
This wave is a collective counterattack from the low-level officials of Yangzhou Mansion: You embroider clothes and guards don't want to investigate the case, continue to investigate!
Although Yang Ge was ruthless, he was actually measured, as long as he was not an official in the corruption and bribery pyramid system, even if it was not clean, he did not touch those people.
After all, it is impossible for him to arrest all the officials in Jiangdu City, this is a big city with more than 100,000 permanent residents, if all the officials are gone, how big a mess will it be?
But in the eyes of those low-level officials, it's another matter: these foreign embroidered clothes and guards, even small officials like Li Zheng and Fang Guan'er are arrested, who can withstand their investigation?
After being instigated by someone with a heart, they tacitly gave Yang Ge eye medicine.
Yang Ge knew that these people were putting pressure on him, but he really couldn't do anything about these people.
After thinking about it, he suddenly thought of a method used by Emperor Hongwu!
He sent people to force the officials in the prison with knives, wearing prison clothes and shackles, to go to the court to deal with government affairs, and promised them that as long as they handled government affairs with their hearts, they could be regarded as surrendering themselves and dealt with leniently.
Is this an easy way to work?
Of course it's not good!
The Hongwu Emperor was able to make it, and that was because he was the Hongwu Emperor.
'What is he Yang Ge?' is just an embroidered guard of a thousand households, to put it nicely, he is the commander of the Son of Heaven's army, and if it is not good, he is a dog raised by the emperor! ’
'Without a superior order in his hand, does he really dare to take us court officials who are from the imperial examination? ’
This is the inner drama of those hall officials when Yang Ge sent someone to the prison to let those hall officials come out to wear a yoke to work.
Of course, they knew that this was the officials below who were giving eye medicine to the embroidered guards.
Naturally, he refused to stand up and dismantle his own platform.
And Jango's answer to them was: I really dare!
He pulled out all the officials in the prison, gathered together, cut down the two most fierce officers in public, and then held up the bloody knives, and asked their deputies if they could do the work of their chief officer?
Looking at Yang Ge's fierce appearance, a group of civil officials who were used to playing with soft knives were scared on the spot, dozens of people gathered together, and no one dared to collapse a fart.
Then, Yang Yuting, the prefect of Yangzhou, carried the shackles and took the lead in honestly going to the court to deal with official business.
'If you are arrogant, you will not die well!' ’
'How can I, who is waiting for the body of gold and jade, touch the clay pot!' ’
'Let's put up with him first, and then deal with him!' ’
At that moment, most of the thoughts in their minds were like this.
In this way, Yang Ge pioneered the move of wearing a flail office in Dawei.
This is a method that the successive emperors of the Great Wei Dynasty have never dared to use......
Snowflakes of official documents flew out of the government, and the government affairs of Yangzhou Mansion finally barely returned to normal.
In order to prevent these corrupt officials who wore flail to dig holes for themselves, Yang Ge compared all the urgent and major government affairs they dealt with with in the past.
I dare not say that it is foolproof, at least there is no major problem.
There is a saying that people do the first year of junior high school, and I do the fifteenth.
After Yang Ge dismantled the first move made by the low-level officials in Yangzhou, he arrested a large number of low-level officials who danced the most happily in the prison with his backhand, filling the vacancies of those officials who wore flail to work.
As for the seats they vacated......
It's still the old way, find their deputies, and tell them that your boss has set up a plan, and whoever can give me additional evidence can fill his shortcomings.
As a result, the green-robed officials who had only been put in prison with their front feet were buried by their deputies and subordinates.
At this time, there will be no one who cares about the feelings of colleagues and fellow villagers.
Even so many five-grade and sixth-grade officials have been planted.
Can they, the little officials of sesame mung beans, turn the sky upside down?
Now that they occupy their positions, the subsequent reappointment of a new prefect by the imperial court will not be able to adjust the heads of these unpopular officials.
Who would let go of this kind of pie-in-the-sky good thing?
After stabilizing Yangzhou's government affairs, before Yang Ge had time to breathe, the second wave of local bigwigs in Yangzhou arrived.
Thousands of long-term tenants, encouraged by the big families, took to the streets and flocked to the government to demand that the embroidered guards give them back their livelihood......
They also did not mention the release of the arrested officials and landlords, but only asked the embroidery guards to live: 'Don't you embroidery guards like to be the masters of the people?' Go on! ’
Yang Ge was really overwhelmed by this trick.
He personally came forward to explain to these poor families, telling them that they were investigating and punishing corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and that Yangzhou was bright and clear.
No one listened.
Among these people, there are indeed poor families whose farmland and livelihood have been seized by the embroidered clothes and guards, and their livelihoods have been cut off.
These people have not read any books, and they do not understand the reason, but they only know that these strangers have taken their jobs......
Yang Ge had no choice, so he sent someone to move the table case and register them, if they really have no jobs, the government will take out a part of the dirty silver from the investigation and punishment to subsidize their livelihood.
This time, someone was willing to listen.
But some people in the crowd immediately fanned the flames, saying something like 'two mouths of official words', 'turning their heads and not recognizing it', and 'sitting and eating empty mountains'.
The crowd that had just calmed down immediately began to boil again, and even faintly had a tendency to impact the government.
The people behind them are clear......
Although the embroidered guards are the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, they have not been ordered and are not Qincha, so if they cause "public anger" in the process of handling the case...... Death is also in vain!
Seeing the scene getting out of control, Yang Ge, who was on fire in his heart, finally couldn't bear it anymore, and smashed a two-story building with a knife, suppressing the crowd that was about to get out of control.
Then he ordered the wrestlers under his command to draw their swords and crossbows, and those who trespassed were all punished according to the murder of officials and rebellion......
In the face of a pair of bright steel knives, some people in the crowd tried to incite the crowd again, but they were discovered by Yang Ge, who was standing on a high place, and decisively cut off the person's head.
The boiling crowd, this is finally the fire out...
After Yang Ge evacuated the crowd, he immediately sent someone to take his embroidered clothes and guard the waist card of thousands of households to transfer the soldiers to martial law.
The embroidered guards did not have the power to mobilize the garrison, but usually as long as it was not too excessive, the garrisons everywhere would give the embroidered guards face.
After all, not many people would want to offend the embroidered guard......
However, this time, the people sent by Yang Ge were sternly rejected by the government soldiers.
Yang Ge knew what he wanted, and then he sent someone to Yangzhou Wei and asked Yangzhou Wei to send five hundred troops into the city for martial law.
As a result, he was also sternly rejected by Yangzhou Wei, and the leading generals of Yangzhou Wei also said that he would report the transfer of troops to the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army.
But this ......
It's not the most frightening for Yang Ge.
What shocked Yang Ge the most was that several heralds he sent back to the Beizhen Mansion Division were robbed by "bandits" before they left the border of Yangzhou.
People are fine.
But the horses and the official documents were gone.
The dozen or so heralds with blue noses and swollen faces returned to Jiangdu with their legs.
This made Yang Ge know that there might be an even bigger storm waiting for him behind him.
If that wave of wind and waves can't withstand it, the more than 400 people on their upper right side may not be able to survive Yangzhou......
……
On the night of the sixth day after Yang Ge took the Yangzhou Mansion, Yang Tiansheng returned.
As soon as they met, Yang Ge smelled a strong pungent smell of medicine......
"Where's the injury?"
He hurriedly stepped forward and looked him up and down: "Is it serious?" ”
Yang Tiansheng took off the hat and threw it on the table, picked up the teapot and poured most of the pot of tea in one go: "You owe a lot of favor this time!" ”
"What favor?"
Yang Ge turned around, but didn't find where he was injured, so he reached out and picked up his clothes: "Where are you injured?" ”
Yang Tiansheng hurriedly covered his clothes: "Where do you look...... It's not a big deal, just take a sword here! ”
He pointed to his right shoulder with a nonchalant expression, as if he were talking about someone else.
Yang Ge reached out to pick up his shirt again: "Is it handled?" Show me! ”
Yang Tiansheng couldn't resist him, so he could only open his shirt, revealing a thick white cloth on his right shoulder that was still oozing blood: "It's not a big deal, my Fengyang Yang family's gold sore medicine is a must, and it will be a big deal in three or five days!" ”
Yang Ge pulled the placket of his shirt for him, and said with a gloomy expression: "Who moved the hand?" ”
Yang Tiansheng replied casually: "It's all covered and unrecognizable, but the martial arts path of the person who hurt the little master should be a member of the Lushan Tianhe Sword Sect." ”
"Tianhe Sword Sect?"
Yang Ge recited the name again, and said with a straight fist: "Admit it, I, Yang Ge, will have a report on this matter!" ”
"Yange?"
Yang Tiansheng was stunned and asked rhetorically, "Aren't you called Yang Erlang?" ”
Yang Ge was stunned and snorted: "Come out and mix, who doesn't have a few stage names?" ”
Yang Tiansheng almost broke the defense: "This time it should be true, right?" ”
Yang Ge nodded hurriedly: "It's really true, it's more real than real gold, you know all these things I do, I want to use my real name, I'm not afraid of anything, but I'm afraid of affecting the people around me!" ”
Yang Tiansheng thought about it and felt that it was really, whether it was the fire in Luting at the beginning or the knife in Yangzhou at the moment, it was a careless and deadly event, and he replied speechlessly: "You officials, you are really good!" ”
Yang Ge invited him to sit down: "You just said that I owe a lot of favor this time, what do you mean?" ”
Yang Tiansheng let out a sigh of relief, sighed and said with palpitations: "Your old man's words, the seven masters of the chain dock are here, in order to cover that kid to pass the test, the third Wuhongjiang and the sixth horse Ji Chang are all broken!" ”
Yang Ge was stunned, and only after a long time did he pick up the water bowl in front of him and drank it down, and said slowly with turbid breath: "Tell me well, what the hell is going on......
Yang Tiansheng shook his head: "Don't ask me, I've been blindsided so far, we have been very careful to hide our tracks along the way, there should be no leakage, you want to say that the wind has passed on the side of the chain dock, but people have broken two dock owners for this matter......"
Yang Ge was silent for a moment and asked, "Where were you intercepted?" How many people are on the other side? ”
Yang Tiansheng: "As soon as I entered the Bianhe River, I was intercepted, and there should be eleven or two people who came, all of whom are good at Qihai!" ”
Yang Ge: "All of them are from the Tianhe Sword Sect?" ”
Yang Tiansheng shook his head: "No, those people's martial arts are very miscellaneous, and they have all kinds of weapons, and there should be three people in the Tianhe Sword Sect." ”
Yang Ge silently recited the word "Lushan" again, and finally asked, "Did Lianhuanwu say anything?" ”
Yang Tiansheng gave a thumbs up: "The master hasn't looked at the serial dock before, but this time they did it really brightly, and the two dock owners died, and they didn't say a word of weirdness, so they just said, please go to their serial dock for a glass of wine when you are free......"
Yang Ge pursed the corners of his lips and nodded solemnly: "I will go!" ”
After a pause, he asked again, "What about Fang Ke?" Where did you send him? ”
Yang Tiansheng: "He got off the boat and turned to the land route in Suzhou alone, only I and the dock owners of the chain dock know about this matter, and the boat will continue to go up the Bianhe River along the river, and there should be no more leakage ......of news."
After a pause, he added: "Calculate the time, if that kid's movements are quick enough, he should arrive in Kaifeng today and tomorrow." ”
Yang Ge knocked on the table and groaned for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "If I am not mistaken, they should do something about this place next!" ”
Yang Tiansheng narrowed his eyes contemptuously and said with a smile: "Kill you? ”
Yang Ge shook his head: "They failed to intercept the news, even if they kill me, it won't help." ”
Yang Tiansheng said "oh": "Kill those officials? ”
Yang Ge nodded: "There is no proof of death!" ”
Yang Tiansheng sighed and frowned: "Then what are you going to do?" ”
Yang Ge took a deep breath and said slowly: "I want to ask you to put a word out on the rivers and lakes for me." ”
Yang Tiansheng: "What words?" ”
Yang Ge paused one sentence at a time: "The case of Yangzhou, right and wrong have been divided into black and white, I, Yang Erlang, on behalf of the embroidered clothes and guards, implore all the heroes of the rivers and lakes to distinguish between good and evil, do not meddle in this case, and return Yangzhou, Jiangsu and Zhejiang to a bright and prosperous world...... If anyone insists on acting for the tiger, as long as I, Yang Erlang, can live, I will investigate to the end and never die! ”
