Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

When Liu Changfu looked at Liu Wenqing standing at the door, Liu Changfu froze in place.

"Second Uncle? Why are you here?" Liu Changfu hastily greeted him.

Liu Wenqing let out a long breath, and said slowly: "Why? Now that you are rich and famous, you won't recognize you as your second uncle when you become a big celebrity in front of His Majesty's eyes?"

Liu Changfu hurriedly apologized: "Hey, my second uncle, how can I, you are my only relative in this world, how can I not recognize you?"

Liu Changfu hurriedly turned around, and said to his entourage, "Boys, hurry up and order a table for our family in the biggest hotel in Xuanfu. We want to entertain our second uncle."

As soon as Liu Changfu finished speaking, his entourage rushed outside.

"Second Uncle, we two have a good drink today!" Liu Changfu looked at the dusty Liu Wenqing and said.

Liu Wenqing looked at Liu Changfu and said, "Oh, my brother left early back then, and our family was so poor that we couldn't get rid of it. Don't you blame me for sending you to the palace at that time?"

Liu Changfu was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "How can I blame Second Uncle? If it weren't for Second Uncle, I would have died in a corner."

"Okay, my father and I haven't had a good meal for a long time, so we won't say such depressing words today."

"Listen to Second Uncle, don't say such frustrating words. Second Uncle, let's go!"

A few quarters of an hour later, Liu Changfu and Liu Wenqing sat in the largest hotel in Xuanfu Town.

It was time for dinner, and there were many people eating in the hotel lobby.

Liu Changfu picked up a glass of wine and said to Liu Wenqing, "Second Uncle, I toast you."

Liu Wenqing also raised his glass and drank it down.

Liu Wenqing put down his wine glass, and said tentatively: "You came to the Xuanfu this time, but you are under the emperor's order?"

Liu Changfu sighed and said: "It is true that I bear the emperor's order, but this emperor's order is not a good emperor's order. If one is not good, maybe the little life will be gone."

Liu Wenqing looked at Liu Changfu suspiciously, and asked, "Is it so serious?"

"Why is it not so serious? You don't know who Zhao Wen of Longmen Fort is, but I know it very well. He is a master who kills people when he disagrees with him. Hou Shilu didn't do anything to him before, but he was shot It’s dead. If my godfather said I was familiar with this place and asked me to come by name, I wouldn’t have come.” Liu Changfu looked at Liu Wenqing, thinking wildly in his heart.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. I thought I would go to Pingyang Mansion to see the second uncle after the business here. Since the second uncle is here, it will save me a trip.

It's not easy to meet the second uncle, let's not talk about business, we will have a good meal and drink. "Liu Changfu didn't seem to want to talk about this issue, so he directly diverted the topic.

At this time, Zhao Wen also hurried towards the Xuan Mansion with a few personal guards after finishing his work.

At the same time, Li Hongji, who was far away in Ganzhou, Gansu, squatted beside the fire, looking at the crowd sitting around the fire with a cold face.

Li Hongji's nephew, Li Guo, stood by the fire and said angrily, "Uncle, our military pay has not been paid for several months. If this continues, we will starve to death."

Li Hongji looked at Li Guo who was standing beside the fire, extremely angry, and said coldly: "Hmph, why don't I know that we haven't paid the military salary for several months, you are making noise here, can the military salary come down?"

"Uncle, what do you think we should do? Let's just hang around here and wait to die?"

"Yes, my lord, there is no military salary. What shall we eat? What shall we drink? My family depends on my military salary. Without the military salary, the family's livelihood will be gone."

"My lord, think of a way!"

For a while, the frontier soldiers sitting around the fire all looked at Li Hongji anxiously.

After Li Hongji fled to Ganzhou, he had no relatives. In desperation, he took his nephew Li to join the frontier army.

When he was in the frontier army, he fought with the Tartars, made a small contribution, was appreciated by the general kingdom, and was promoted by the kingdom to be general manager, with fifty or sixty people under his command.

Li Hongji looked at the fire, without saying a word, with an uncertain expression on his face.

Ever since he became general, he thought he would be able to settle down safely, but who would have thought that the frontier army's salary has been in arrears for a long time, not only did not pay the military salary on time, even there was no folded rice noodles.

Not to mention these things, even the food in the army is getting worse every day, and in the end it is even gone, and the food I want is gone.

Without military pay and food, who will go to war?

It was also impossible for Li Hongji to lead his soldiers to inspect the side walls or go out to investigate the military situation without military pay, so he stayed in the camp every day with nothing to do, hoping that the military pay would come down soon.

But wait and wait, the military pay just won't come down.

Li Hongji's gully-covered face reflected the red light of the fire. He squatted beside the fire, holding a branch, and kept poking at the fire.

Everyone looked at Li Hongji who fell into silence, and fell silent for a while.

The sky was getting dark gradually, Gansu was extremely cold at the end of September, and the flames of the fire where everyone was sitting around kept getting smaller.

Li Guo raised his head, looked at the sparse stars in the sky, rubbed his rumbling stomach, and said with a dejected expression: "Today I didn't eat a single meal. Going to starve to death."

A big black-faced man squatting beside Li Hongji looked at the gradually shrinking fire, and said in a low voice, "I'll get some firewood!"

As the big man said, he walked away into the distance.

Not long after the big man left, the sky in the distance suddenly turned red.

It was the sky reddened by flames, and a huge flame shot up into the sky, straight into the sky, billowing thick smoke, and the smell of smoke wafted in the air.

Li Hongji looked at the sky that turned red, and stood up directly from the ground.

"What's going on? Where's the fire?" Li Hongji looked at the burning sky and said in surprise.

Li Guo looked at the red sky and said in shock, "Isn't that the direction of the Chinese army's tent?"

Just as Li Guo finished speaking, there was a sudden shout of killing in the distance.

Countless swords and soldiers collided together, making clanking sounds, echoing non-stop in the silent night.

Li Hongji looked in that direction vigilantly, and pulled out the waist knife from his waist.

The frontier soldiers standing behind Li Hongji also drew their sabers from their waists, and looked ahead vigilantly.

The big man who ran to find firewood ran over from a distance panting heavily.

"It's not good, the mutiny has changed, the frontier army has made a noise, the frontier army has made a noise. The rebel army has already rushed into the central army tent, and the rebellious army has rushed towards the county government."

The big man hissed as he ran.

"Mutiny? What's going on?" Li Hongji grabbed the big man by the collar and asked in a hissing voice.

The big man let out a long breath, and hurriedly said: "I just went out to find firewood, and within two steps I heard the sound of swords and soldiers clashing, so I hurriedly hid.

But it didn't take long for the large tent of the Chinese army to be set ablaze, and then countless chaos troops rushed over from all directions.

As soon as I heard this, I ran back in a hurry. On the way back, I met some soldiers with swords. They asked me to go with them to grab the military pay, but I refused. "

Li Hongji let go of the big man, looked at the people behind him, and said, "The military payment has been in arrears for such a long time, and now someone is making a noise, what do you think should be done?"

A stern look flashed across Li Guo's face, and he said, "Uncle, why don't we hurry up too, it's too late, but there's nothing left."

"But the general is kind to me." Li Hongji's face flashed a look of struggle.

"The kindness of knowing you? Can the kindness of knowing you be eaten? If he really appreciates uncle, it is impossible to keep arrears with the military salary. Uncle, don't hesitate, without the military salary, we will have no way of life.

Now someone is taking the lead in making a noise, even if the higher-ups track it down, there will be someone taller.Uncle, let's do it. "Li Guo looked at Li Hongji expectantly.

"My lord, do it, I went late but there is nothing left."

"Yes, my lord, do it!"

Inspired by Li Guo, everyone's thoughts suddenly came alive.Their eyes were bright, and they looked at Li Hongji with hope.

Li Hongji looked at everyone's hopeful eyes, and finally made up his mind. He gritted his teeth and said coldly, "In this case, let's do it. It was agreed in advance that if the higher-ups track down, who will be caught?" , and do not confess your brethren.”

"My lord, don't worry, even if we die, we won't confess to your lord."

After hearing everyone's affirmative answers, Li Hongji nodded and shouted: "Brothers, rush for me, grab food, grab money!"

As soon as Li Hongji finished speaking, he rushed towards the burning place with a waist knife.

"Since the imperial court doesn't give me military pay, I'll take it myself." Li Hongji looked at the burning tent of the Chinese army in front of him, with a cruel smile on his face.

Chapter 135 Get Liu Changfu Done

The night shrouded the earth. The night of this era is not as brightly lit as the later generations. Except for a few sporadic fires, the whole land is completely dark.

In Xuanfu Town, Liu Changfu was sitting in the hall of his house in Xuanfu, greeting Liu Wenqing.

Holding the teacup, Liu Wenqing took a sip, and then said, "Nephew, are you going to Longmen Castle?"

Liu Changfu said in a deep voice, "Second Uncle, how do you know I'm going to Longmen Fort?"

"It doesn't matter how I know, but I want to advise you, you can't go to Longmen Fort." Liu Wenqing said earnestly.

Liu Changfu looked at Liu Wenqing's concerned expression, and sighed, "I don't want to go either, but it's a sacred order. I know exactly where this Longmen Fort is, and who the guard Zhao Wen is. If it wasn't for everything In desperation, do you think I want to go?"

"Then you can stay here? Why do you have to go?"

"Second Uncle, what you said. I can't go if I don't go. The general soldier of Xuanfu Town is watching me. If he knows that I didn't go to Longmen Fort, if he makes an offer to His Majesty, then Am I doomed?

People like me who are on duty in the palace can't compare with those foreign court officials.If His Majesty is dissatisfied, that is to say yes.At the beginning Wei Zhongxian claimed to be nine thousand years old, but what happened?Still not dead? "Liu Changfu shook his head and said helplessly.

"Haha, where did the guardian eunuch who dared to compete with me for credit go? How did he become so timid now?"

While the two were talking, Zhao Wen's hearty laughter came from outside the door.

"who?"

Standing in the hall, Dongchang Fanzi and Captain Jinyiwei put their hands on the handle of the knife at their waists, looking warily at Zhao Wen who kicked open the door and came towards the hall.

Zhao Wen was wearing a black cloak and a hat on his head, covering his whole body tightly.

He went straight to the hall and looked at the nervous crowd, "Who am I? I am Zhao Wen, the guard of Longmen Castle!"

While speaking, Zhao Wen took off his hat and revealed his face.

As soon as Zhao Wen finished speaking, the captain of Jinyiwei and the Dongchang fans in the hall hurriedly pulled out the Xiuchun knife from their waists, and looked at Zhao Wen nervously.

And the guards behind Zhao Wen also raised 56 and half-raised them, aiming at them

For a moment, the whole hall became tense.

Liu Changfu stared blankly at Zhao Wen, the hand holding the teacup kept shaking, one of them didn't pay attention, "click" and fell to the ground.

"Zhao Zhao Zhao Wen, General Zhao Zhao, why are you here suddenly?" Liu Changfu suddenly stood up from his chair as if he had seen a ghost, pointed at Zhao Wen, and said tremblingly.

Liu Wenqing looked at Zhao Wen, cupped his hands and said, "General!"

Zhao Wen nodded slightly at Liu Wenqing, then looked at Liu Changfu.

"Everyone, put down your weapons." Liu Changfu shouted sharply, looking at the men who had drawn out their weapons in the hall.

As Liu Changfu's words fell, the captain of Jinyiwei and the Dongchang fans reluctantly took the knife back.

However, their right hands were always on the handle of the knife, and they looked at Zhao Wen and the guards behind Zhao Wen with vigilance.

Zhao Wen was also polite, and sat down on the chair carelessly.

"Eunuch Liu, what's the matter? Now that you're a celebrity around His Majesty, you don't know me?" Zhao Wen looked at Liu Changfu playfully, and said jokingly.

Liu Changfu hurriedly poured a cup of tea for Zhao Wen, and said with a sneer, "Our family can't do it. If it wasn't for your lord, I wouldn't be able to return to the capital no matter what."

Zhao Wen picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Haha, I didn't expect you to be kind. It's okay not to mention what happened back then."

Zhao Wen put down his teacup, turned his language, and said in a deep voice, "I heard vaguely before that you seem to be determined to go to my Longmen Fort?"

Liu Changfu was stunned for a moment, and the cold sweat broke out directly on his body, "My lord, my lord, this is the emperor's order, the sacred will must not be violated, and I don't want to go, but the chief soldier in Xuanfu town has been watching As for me, I had an enmity with him when I was in Xuanfu Town. If he saw that I didn't leave in Xuanfu, and he gave me a break, wouldn't I be doomed?"

Zhao Wen frowned and said, "Then you won't say, have you checked out my Longmen Fort on the way here?"

Zhao Wen was not afraid of Liu Changfu going to Longmen Fort, but rather the people who followed Liu Changfu.

Although these Jinyiwei school lieutenants and Dongchang fanzi are Liu Changfu's subordinates, who can guarantee that they will not talk nonsense after returning to the capital?Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case.

"Hey, my lord, there are rules for this routine, and you have to follow the rules. If you don't come to Xuanfu first, but go to Longmen Fort, it's really against the rules.

I also don't want to go to Longmen Fort, but the chief soldier of Xuanfu Town has a grudge against me. If I don't go, if he sues me, then I will be finished.

Don't worry, my lord, I will never talk nonsense when I go back. "Liu Changfu looked at Zhao Wen flatteringly.

Zhao Wen stood up straight away, looked at Liu Changfu, and said in a deep voice, "I will help you settle down the Xuanfu Town Chief Soldier, remember, you are not allowed to go to Longmen Fort, otherwise, don't blame me if you die.

Another one, I have no contacts in the capital, and I can't know in advance if there is a trouble in the capital, so I want you to be my eyeliner. "

When Liu Changfu heard this, he immediately became anxious.

"My lord, don't you want my life? The current emperor is no better than before. He hates his ministers fornicating foreign ministers, especially the local generals. If His Majesty finds out, then my life will be gone. My lord, this It's absolutely impossible."

Zhao Wen didn't wait for Liu Changfu to finish speaking, he took out a few banknotes from his pocket, and patted them on the table, "This is 1 taels of banknotes, which are the expenses for your activities in the capital. I will also send a few people at that time , to protect you in the capital and deliver news."

Zhao Wen's cement factory and glass factory also made a lot of money. Now Zhao Wen can easily spend 10,000+ taels of silver.
