But this time, Bai Peng came here on his own initiative, needless to say, what he was talking about must be the business tax collection by the imperial court.He also represented most of the businessmen in the capital who came to Dong Shuai for advice, just to see if there was any good way to deal with it.
The sixth uncle is here, so Yang Chendong naturally has to see him.Not only did he meet, but he also met the other party in his study, so his solemnity can be seen.
"Grandpa Yang." When he saw Yang Chendong, even though he was the sixth brother-in-law, Bai Peng was still respectful and polite.
"Okay, sixth brother-in-law, you don't have to call me a father-in-law, you can just call me Dongshuai or sixth young master." Yang Chendong, who didn't like these etiquettes, smiled, and invited Bai Peng to sit opposite him. down.
"Okay, Dong Shuai, this time the court's tax collection is obviously aimed at us merchants, one hundred to one, how much money will be handed over that year, we merchants are against it!" Since they are relatives, there is no need to beat around the bush when talking, Bai Peng brought out the doubts in his heart.
Yang Chendong looked at Bai Peng while sipping the tea in his hand, "So they sent you here because they want me to come out against the court?"
224 Chapter Ji Guang Was Arrested
Bringing military supplies to Ming Dynasty Chapter 224 Ji Guang was arrested "No!" Seeing that Yang Chendong saw through his intentions at a glance, Bai Peng quickly showed a flattering smile and said, "We are not trying to oppose the imperial court, but this move is too cruel. Yes. Dong Shuai, the leader of the merchants, should represent us and fight against them."
Hearing that he became a business leader, a title he didn't even know, Yang Chendong suddenly laughed and said, "Leader? Hehe, sixth brother-in-law, don't make fun of me. I am also a loyal and courageous man personally appointed by Emperor Ming, I am also a member of the imperial court ministers, how can I go to trouble them?"
"No! It's not the same. Dong Shuai, who doesn't know that Wala's retreat is all due to your credit, but now? You are just a duke, and you are left idle at home. This is clearly killing the donkey. We are all doing it for you. Dong Shuai complained about injustice? We"
The teacup was suddenly placed heavily on the table, "Enough!" Yang Chendong suddenly turned cold, and said in a cold voice: "Sixth brother-in-law, I think you are my brother-in-law, so I will give you face after listening to you. But there are some things that cannot be discussed in private. Well, I am sleepy, please go back."
Yang Chendong made a gesture of seeing off the guests, and before Bai Peng could say anything, he got up and walked towards the bedroom in the backyard.The thing is obvious, Bai Peng is being used by someone, and he wants to ask himself to come out to speak for the businessman and stand on the platform.If they win, the merchants will naturally have benefits. Even if they lose, the unlucky ones will only be the ones who resisted, and those people are still fine.I really can't imagine how Bai Peng would be willing to do such a thing.
Yang Chendong left the table suddenly, Bai Peng had a bitter expression on his face.Hu Mang, who was standing beside him, stretched out his hand and said politely, "Boss Bai, please."
Bai Peng left a little disappointed.Not long after he returned to the capital, there was a gossip that the newly-appointed loyal and brave Yang Chendong was also afraid of the court, just like Zhang Fu who was previously named the British Duke and died for his country. Timid.Even if someone went to Yangjiazhuang to ask for an explanation on the court's collection of commercial taxes, he didn't dare to speak out, and he didn't dare to fight hard in the refusal.
Even Yang Chendong, who seemed to have innumerable amounts of money, approved of the court's approach. For a while, other businessmen had nothing to provoke, and had to consider paying official taxes.
As soon as the news came out, it quickly spread to the palace.After Jin Ying received the report from Jin Yiwei's spies, she immediately looked overjoyed. "Haha, this loyal and courageous man really means what he says. He promised me before, and he can fulfill his promise very well. It's just that his status in the eyes of the businessman will be greatly reduced. So once he has the opportunity, he can clean up For this person, there probably won't be too many people speaking for him."
While Jin Ying was overjoyed, he stretched out his hand to summon a trusted eunuch and said, "Go, tell Commander Lu Gui that some things can be closed."
A dilapidated ruined temple in the suburbs of Beijing.
There are weeds that are half the height of a man growing everywhere. Although the weather is getting colder, these weeds are still not ready to wither, showing their powerful vitality.
There are deserted temples, weeds, and unknown birds chirping from time to time in the sky.The feeling here is so desolate, ordinarily it should be uninhabited.However, three miles away from the Remnant Temple, there are more than a hundred people in black clothes and well-dressed people.
They were almost the same height, and everyone's eyes showed an indifferent and cold light, like a personal machine, without the slightest emotion.
They are the fans of Dongchang.
Because its address is located on the north side of Dong'anmen, it was named Dongchang.The function of the East Factory is to "interview and conspire against demons and villains, etc., and balance power with Jin Yiwei"
Relatively speaking, the relationship between Dongchang and Jinyiwei does not belong to each other, but because the latter was established by Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, and those who are not weak cannot enter, so their overall quality is higher than that of Jinyiwei. A feeling of superiority over Jin Yiwei.
Of course, Dongchang cannot order Jin Yiwei, and Jin Yiwei cannot order Dongchang either.They have their own powers and do different things of their own.But this time a hundred Dongchang fanzi suddenly appeared, such a large formation was just to besiege a ruined temple, so it can be seen that there should be some important people here.
Hundreds of Dongchang fans in black walked forward with light steps, trying to make the slightest movement in the process of not moving.But after all, there are too many people, so it is inevitable that so many people will spread the news without any changes.
For example, one of them made a slight clicking sound because he accidentally stepped on a dead branch.
As soon as the sound came out, the other fans nearby all looked over.Afterwards, the leader shook his head lightly. Although his voice was small, it was equivalent to exposing the target he wanted to encircle and suppress today.
"Let's go together and surround this place. Don't let him escape." After the leader whispered, the hundreds of Dongchang fans immediately accelerated their pace, forming a huge encirclement circle, surrounding the small temple. .
Hundreds of men in black stopped almost at the same time, staring at the small temple in front of them, which had not moved at all, and remained silent for a long time.
It took a long time for a stick of incense to stand at this station. When the atmosphere was extremely suppressed, the leader raised his hand, and all the men in black had a small crossbow in their hands, aiming at the small temple. the only exit.
"Master Ji, you have been surrounded. I know you have some tricks, but can you alone face a hundred of us? If you don't come out, then we can only set fire to the temple." The leader looked straight at At the entrance of the small temple, during this process, he didn't even dare to blink his eyes.
The sound spread out, and it was so clear and clear in front of the quiet small temple.And as the sound spread out, footsteps suddenly came from the originally quiet small temple, "Hahaha, it must be that Chen Guan couldn't bear to confess the truth, otherwise, it would be impossible for you to find this place." of."
The laughter was hearty and spread far and wide in an instant.When he was heard by the leader in black, that is, Dongshi Li Xingbaihu, he also had a smile on his face.Chen Guan really didn't lie, Ji Guang was really here.
Ji Guang, the former commander of Jin Yiwei, is the fourth-rank position, and at the same time he is also Wang Zhen's confidant.
Since Wang Zhen was killed in front of the civil fortress, Ji Guang disappeared, together with the silver and wealth that Wang Zhen had used various means to obtain over the years.
It's just that Ji Guang disappeared, and Jin Ying, who has regained power, doesn't care much about it.But even if the treasure is gone, he will not be reconciled no matter what.It's the same at any time, if you want to succeed, you first need to have money, and only when the people who follow you benefit, will you gather more and more talents.
Since Ji Guang disappeared together with those treasures, no one would believe that they have nothing to do with each other.In this way, if you find Ji Guang, you may find the burial place of those treasures.
For this matter, Jin Ying was very concerned, and even found a random reason to take down the eunuch Chen Guan, the palm print of the Yuma Supervisor.
Chen Guan is also one of Wang Zhen's confidantes, and he is also in charge of the big killer of the Yumajian, and he was once in the limelight.Even when seeing Jin Ying, the eunuch who was in charge of ceremonies and holding pens, it was rare for him to take a direct look at him.
But all this ended because Yingzong was defeated and Wang Zhen was killed.Jin Ying made the right choice at the first time, and took refuge in King Zhu Qiyu. Not long after, King Ying came to power, Jin Ying was in power, and obtained the Jinyiwei who reorganized the East Factory from Daizong Zhu Qiyu, as well as the entire eunuch Group mission.
Once the power comes to hand, all people will surrender.Chen Guan was the one whose attitude changed very quickly, and he immediately chose to show his loyalty to Jin Ying.It did make him disappear from the list of the first wave of eunuchs to be purged.
But as Daizong's position became more and more stable, Jin Ying's power became stronger day by day.In the end, he fell on two sides and was caught by Jin Ying.
Chen Guan, who was arrested, really couldn't figure it out. He had given away all his wealth and just left a small courtyard in the capital to live in. Why hasn't he been let go?But it wasn't until he entered Jin Yiwei's imperial prison that he realized that he was implicated. It was because Jin Ying wanted to catch Ji Guang, but there was no clue, so he was brought here.
When entering the imperial prison on the first day of junior high school, Chen Guan showed a bit of toughness.If he really didn't say anything, this is his cleverness. He thought that once he said something, he might be dying.
But everything changed when Jin Ying personally met him in prison.
Jin Ying promised that as long as Chen Guan told Ji Guang's hiding place and he successfully found the wealth left by Wang Zhen, he would be reinstated and continue to serve as the eunuch of the imperial horse supervisor.
It is said that not only can he live, but he can also regain his position and power, all of which cannot help Chen Guan not to seriously think about it.And after a fierce psychological struggle, he finally revealed the fact that Ji Guang might be hiding in a ruined temple in the suburbs, which was originally a secret contact point. This was also Wang Zhen's cleverness back then. I also worried that one day I would be ruined, and when I was about to be dealt with, it would be better to have a hiding place.
The small temple looks dilapidated on the outside, but it has actually been transformed underground. Not only can people hide, but also prepare a lot of food, which can ensure that they will not worry about survival for a month or even longer.
After getting the news, there was this East Factory operation, and it was here that the former commander of Jinyiwei, Ji Guang, was found.
Chapter 225 Trade with Wala
Bringing Military Supplies to Daming Chapter 225 and Wala Trader Ji Guang took the initiative to stand up, and Dongchang Fanzi stepped forward and tied him tightly.In this regard, Ji Guang did not have any resistance from the beginning to the end.Now that he has been reused by Wang Zhen, his skills are very powerful, and usually five or six big guys don't want to get close.But this time, they were facing hundreds of Dongchang fans. If they had to fight, they would undoubtedly be asking for trouble.
Having said that, Ji Guang has had enough of hiding for such a long time, and it might be a relief to be found.
The small temple was searched carefully, but nothing was found except some food and drinking water. In the end, only he was secretly brought into the prison.
After Ji Guang was arrested, Jin Ying came to the prison after hearing the news, and saw Ji Guang, who looked pretty good, chatting with Chen Guan, who had surrendered. "Hehe, you two, I didn't expect that the three of us would be here when we meet again. Isn't it surprising?"
Jin Ying would say this out of emotion.In the past when Wang Zhen was here, we actually had a lot of opportunities to meet each other.It's just because everyone's standpoints are different, and Jin Ying's performance was very mediocre at the time, so it was difficult for people to pay attention to it.
Chen Guan and Ji Guang didn't speak, and they didn't know how to answer.Jin Ying didn't take it seriously, but continued to speak enlighteningly, "Maybe this is the impermanence of the world. Yesterday you were high above the top, but today you may be a prisoner of the lower ranks. Therefore, it is best to enjoy the time and know the time." Important. Your former master, Wang Zhen, is dead, maybe you have already gone to hell, and there is no need for you to go with him, because there is still a bright future and a good day waiting for you. How about it? , follow me, as long as you become my people, no one will embarrass you in the future."
Jin Ying said in a bewitching tone, "Others want to be with me, I don't know how many ways to think about it, but I am very optimistic about you two, and I am willing to take the initiative to give you a chance, as long as you say Where are Wang Zhen's treasures hidden, then naturally you will be restored to your posts, wouldn't it be the best?"
"Of course, you can also say nothing and continue to choose to be loyal to your dead former master. If that's the case, the rest of your life will not be easy. What kind of methods are there in the prison? Gong Zai continued to introduce to you, the one hundred and eight kinds of torture, if you want, you have the opportunity to try them one by one, hahaha."
Big sticks and candy!
