"There are a lot of people who have been arrested in the past few days, and those who are singles are the most, and it turns out that there are a few of those officials in the yamen, and they can't walk when they see gold and silver treasures. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" An apprentice squeezed his eyebrows and said, ignoring Chen Changsheng's face suddenly became very bad: "However, there are only a few apprentices who have been arrested, and those people in the military department feel very embarrassed this time." ”

These young apprentices had always received special privileges from the English and had a lot of education, so discipline was acceptable, and there were very few people stealing from each other at this time. But it is precisely because of this that many apprentices think that Liu Sanduo has smeared the entire apprentice group, especially those in the military department who are allowed to be equipped with guns.

"Don't worry too much about other people's affairs, just do our own things. Li Yingyuan instructed, thought about it for a while, and said a few more words: "You talk about it, don't learn from those guys who don't grow up, and think about stealing something and taking it out." If you are found to be doing this, I have no face to redeem you. ”

"How can you be, don't worry, boss. The apprentices reassured Li Yingyuan in unison: "We are guarding these wounded soldiers, and we have no chance to go if we want to steal." ”

When Musashi Province was first occupied the day before, the situation was still relatively chaotic, and the Ming dependents who entered Musashi Province, and even those English soldiers had a lot of stealing things, and those queen rangers in green uniforms were even more open.

However, as soon as the situation stabilized, the English officers issued a military order prohibiting anyone from stealing anything and handing over all paid items. A guard post was also set up at the Musashi Mansion gate, and all people entering and leaving Musashi Prefecture were searched.

Some people also wanted to fish in troubled waters, and if they were caught by the sentries, they would be severely beaten, and they would be put in a black prison afterwards, and the officers would be punished when they had leisure. Li Yingyuan swept over the practices of those sentinels, and knew that it was by no means easy to make some extra money at this time.

"Those idlers are really useless, and the English have said it many times, and they still want to come in to get oil and water, and now the English don't let them come into the house. These people, who didn't help a little when they were fighting, just wanted to make a profit, so they shouldn't have brought them over. An apprentice said.

During the war, the apprentices of the medical department were not able to help, but they were meritorious men who treated the wounded soldiers, and these apprentices always felt that they were a level higher than the other Ming dependents.

"Those officials are also, it turns out that they are all working for the yamen, and they have also seen the world, and at this time, they are also joining in the fun with those single idlers, and it is not ashamed. Another apprentice continued, regardless of Chen Changsheng's face suddenly becoming ugly, Li Yingyuan somewhat understood, it seems that Chen Zhutou is probably not playing a glorious role here.

"These people are useless, and I don't understand why the English let them come. ”

"Then you don't understand, let them come over to make them surrender. ”

In recent years, novels such as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin" have been widely circulated, and most of these apprentices are literate, and they actually guess the minds of English people.

Originally, there were many wall-riding factions among the Ming people's dependents, and many of them held the idea of holding people with thick legs when the English were strong, and when the officers and soldiers or Fuso people regained the upper hand, they would immediately take advantage of the situation to switch sides. Therefore, he usually has a secret collusion with those big families and Fuso people, and also helps people find out the news, report the movements of the English, etc.

The English people are just outsiders, and they don't stay in Dinghai for a long time, and many people hold this kind of idea, which makes the English people extremely beautiful on the surface of Dinghai, but secretly they are more restricted.

However, the destruction of Musashi Prefecture this time completely changed this situation, and it was known that the English were probably going to stay in Dinghai for a long time.

Those singles and officials participated in the attack on Musashi Mansion, and they were also considered to have a criminal record, and in the future, whether the court or the Fuso people returned, they had to be said to be thieves, and the local families in Dinghai could no longer trust their loyalty, and there was no other way to choose in the future except to follow the English people closely.

It's just that, looking at the behavior of the English people, let these people come over and show their faces, such as singing or handing over a petition, it seems that they don't even think about giving them money.

Thinking of this, Li Yingyuan's face suddenly changed, and he suddenly understood that the so-called vote certificate is not only applicable to these people, but also to himself.

From this day on, he could no longer say that he was only hired by the English and had done nothing wrong. This time, he followed the English to rob a big family, and he was also the most powerful family in the entire Dinghai.

The English searched Musashi everywhere, and soon a large amount of property was found and registered. An apprentice from the medical department who had a good fortune inquired and came back to say that in the warehouse built by the Musashi family, he found a large amount of gold, silver, copper coins, silk, cloth, grain, tea, porcelain, and all kinds of valuable goods, and that a large number of exquisite jade toys and money were also found in the residence where the Musashi family lived.

If you add all the calligraphy and paintings, antiques, precious jewelry, and title deeds, I am afraid that the harvest this time will exceed 400,000 taels of silver. It's a huge amount of property.

It is said that after the English conquered the prefecture, they received 40,000 taels worth of goods from the county treasury, including gold, silver, and grain, but compared to the harvest of the Musashi family, it was a drop in the bucket.

Li Yingyuan knew that in a place like Dinghai, where maritime trade was particularly developed, there would be a situation where the family's financial resources far exceeded that of the county treasury, and it was almost impossible for this to happen in the interior.

Originally, Li Yingyuan thought that these belongings had nothing to do with him, and he had no chance to reach out and contaminate them, but he soon encountered a good opportunity and could reap huge benefits from them.

In the afternoon, an English soldier went to the makeshift field hospital to look for him: "Who is Ying Yuan Lee, Major Andrew ordered him to go and see." ”

The soldier couldn't speak, so he spoke in English, but fortunately, many apprentices were learning English during this time, but they understood his words and brought him to Li Yingyuan.

"Major Andrew is looking for me? Okay, I'll go and have a look. Li Yingyuan put down the matter at hand and walked with the soldier.

When they arrived in a courtyard, they found a large number of corpses piled up inside, where Major Andrew was carefully rummaging through the corpses, as if looking for something.

"Take a look and see if the assassin who assassinated Dr. Shepud is among these corpses. Major Andrew instructed Li Yingyuan.

Li Yingyuan hurriedly stepped forward and knew that all the adult male corpses in Musashi Prefecture were here, and as for the bodies of women and others, Li Yingyuan didn't want to know where they were now.

Li Yingyuan carefully examined the corpses and compared them with the faces of the assassins in his memory, but he did not find anything. Seeing a headless corpse dressed in high-grade silk, Li Yingyuan stopped and looked at it for a long time, knowing that this was the corpse of Musashi Kojiro, who was strong in martial arts, but at this time, like those ordinary people, he was thrown on the ground at will.

"There doesn't seem to be the body of the Assassin here. Li Yingyuan replied after reading it: "There are also a few corpses with blurred faces, I also saw them, and they don't look like the assassin from the figure." ”

"That assassin is not here," Major Andrew muttered to himself, as if he had expected it a little, mixed with some unwillingness: "Li Langzhong, what do you think about this matter?"

What do I think, does this matter have anything to do with me, Li Yingyuan wanted to answer like this, but he also knew that it was impossible.

"Maybe the assassin was sent out by the Musashi family, or maybe he was sent by the Musashi family to recuperate somewhere else, and there are many of them. Li Yingyuan thought for a moment and replied, "No matter what, this is logical, no matter how good the Musashi family is, it is impossible for the Musashi family to hide the assassin in their own home, it will be very dangerous." ”

"You're right," Major Andrew replied thoughtfully, "Of course, there is also the possibility that the assassins were not sent by the Musashi family, and that someone else wanted to assassinate the British Imperial Medic. ”

Li Yingyuan was suspicious, and he couldn't help but ask something, could it be that Major Andrew didn't find out in advance and decided to attack the Musashi family based on his incomplete confession? Doesn't that mean that the Musashi family has nothing to do with the assassination, and all these people were unjustly killed?

Now is obviously not a good opportunity to question Major Andrew, or there is no such thing as "the best opportunity to question the local top English executive", Li Yingyuan buried his doubts deep in his heart, and there were some vague speculations in his heart, even if he knew in advance that the assassination had nothing to do with Musashi Prefecture, I am afraid that the determination of the English people to attack Musashi Province would not change in any way.

"I have another difficult thing here, you can help me counsellor. Andrew thought for a moment, gave up thinking about this issue further, and led Li Yingyuan to a building.

"Whatever you want me to do, I'll do it. Li Yingyuan followed the major over, but he was curious in his heart, this English major, who had always been decisive, didn't know what was going on and needed his help.
