Datang Nongwang

Chapter 813 How to write a letter

Saying it and doing it eighth, after listening to Li Chongyuan's instructions, they rushed all the way to Panyu, Guangzhou, wanting to catch that Ma Er.

But no one expected that the merchant gang that Ma Er belonged to was the largest merchant gang of all the merchant gangs in Lingnan, the horse gang.

This caravan is not the other caravan.

The well-known caravans are caravans in the Yunnan area that specialize in the transportation of goods by horses, donkeys, mules, and livestock. They mainly operate in the eastern, southern, and western areas of Yunnan.

This caravan began in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, developed to the Qing Dynasty, and ended its nearly 2000-year caravan career after the birth of the Medog Highway.

That is to say, since the completion of the Medog Highway in [-], the bells of the caravan have gradually become the echo of history, and the people of all ethnic groups who have lived along the route of the caravan have also ushered in unprecedented changes in their destiny.

And the Ancient Tea Horse Road has become an ancient historical road, and it has become an ancient road for tourism.

On the other hand, the current caravan in Lingnan is a water tyrant who dominates waterways and collects boat fees.

Of course, Xingba and the others also found out some other evil things about this caravan.

For example, things like a little selling, such as robbery, such as occupying children and dominating women.

In short, this caravan is really a gang with a lot of bad records and refraining from doing all kinds of evil.

How about the caravan, Xingba investigated in Panyu, and described everything to Li Chongyuan in detail.

Xingba stayed in Panyu for more than ten days, and his main purpose was to catch Ma Er, and by the way, check the details of the caravan controlled by Ma Er.

If you want to catch Ma Er, you must figure out where Ma Er is traveling and where he is going.

And once Ma Er goes out, he must be hugged by the front and back.

It can be said that it is extremely difficult for Xingba to catch Ma Er.

Either Ma Er doesn't go out, or when he goes out, a large number of people travel.

That's enough. A dozen or so of them want to capture Ma Er among a large number of troops. It can be said that it is really difficult to win the head of a general in an army.

but.

After Xing Ba and the others followed Ma Er continuously for more than [-] days, they finally got a chance and caught Ma Er.

However, capturing Ma Er was incidentally capturing a special person.

And this special person, one can tell at a glance that it is the Feng family, and it may be one of Feng An's dozens of sons.

Xingba and the others didn't care about 21, they arrested these two people, bound their mouths, tied them up, left Guangzhou directly, and went straight to Zhenzhou to return.

When Ma Er was captured by Xing Ba and the others.

Ma Er's caravan, after not seeing Ma Er, made a lot of noise.

That day, when the caravan learned that Ma Er was missing, and that special person was missing, the entire city of Panyu almost collapsed.

But still, Ma Er and that special person have not been seen.

This is not.

The second head of the caravan went to the Feng family's residence in Panyu and reported the matter to the Feng family.

When the Feng family heard that Ma Er and the others had disappeared, they made a big fanfare and asked the Yamen and others to send out missions to find out where the two were going.

On the eighth day of their stay, when they left Guangzhou, the whole of Guangzhou was full of tolerances and caravan gangsters.

It is also because of the dispatch of these people that many people have suffered disasters.

But after several days of investigation, the two are still unknown, and they don't even know how they disappeared.

And this time.

Above Gaozhou Feng's Mansion, after hearing the news, Feng Zhidai, the governor of Gaozhou, summoned the brothers nearby to discuss, "Brother 23 is doing well in Panyu, why did he suddenly disappear? Tell us your opinions."

"Brother, did the court have heard some news, so they arrested the 23rd brother?" Feng Zhidai said.

"I doubt it is possible."

"It should be unlikely. As far as I know, there is no movement from the imperial court, and there is no news that the imperial court has sent people to Lingnan. And Feng Er has disappeared. I suspect that the 23rd brother may have run away with Feng Er Where are you going to play?"

"It's impossible for the 23rd brother not to know about such a big movement in Panyu. Even if we go to play somewhere, it's impossible for there to be only two people."

"Brother, could it be that the Liaoren captured Brother 23 and the others?"

"."

Each has its own words, but each can't say the point.

Their 23rd brother disappeared, and Ma Er, the head of the caravan, also disappeared, which made them really unable to find the reason and whereabouts of the two disappearing.

In the end, Feng Zhidai said: "Send more people to investigate. No matter what, 23rd brother must see people when he is born, and he must see corpses when he dies. Pay special attention to the movements of the court and the news of Baiqisi."

With Feng Zhidai's words, his brothers, more or less, will send out their men.

Regardless of whether they were members of the public family or their own private soldiers and guards, they all sent out some to track down their 23rd brother and the whereabouts of Feng Er as they said.

The actions of the Feng family really shocked Liu Ping and others.

Liu Ping and others recorded all the actions of the Feng family, and secretly sent the news back to Zhenzhou.

at this time.

Li Chongyuan, who was far away in Zhenzhou, looked at the arrogance of the person in front of him very coldly, "You have already arrived here, I am afraid that you will not be able to go back to Gaozhou. If you are arrogant again, I will make people kill you." The mouth was smashed."

"How dare you!!!" When the man heard that Li Chongyuan was going to knock his mouth out, he immediately became angry.

Li Chongyuan squinted his eyes, and gently waved to Xing Ba and the others behind him.

Xingba and the others walked towards the man without saying a word.

In an instant, the sound of slapping the mouth came out of the firewood room.

At the same time, screams and shouts also spread out.

Fortunately, there were no outsiders within tens of feet of the firewood house. If the people who opened up the wasteland and the helpers brought by Wang Sheng listened to it, it would be very lively.

For a long time.

The man's mouth was really smashed by Xingba and the others, even several teeth were knocked out, and the lips were knocked out like sausages.

The man's mouth was already crippled, and with his big mouth, he didn't dare to be arrogant anymore.

Ma Er, who had never spoken all this time, saw that Li Chongyuan knew the identity of that person and dared to smash his mouth with his hands. He, who was about to speak, immediately shut up.

Those who know the current affairs are handsome.

I don't know if Ma Er is Junjie, but he is definitely a smart person.

Li Chongyuan even dared to touch the brothers of the Feng family, let alone him.

The man whose mouth was knocked out was pitiful, and looked at Li Chongyuan with hatred in his eyes.

But when he saw Li Chongyuan looking at him with a sneer in his eyes, he immediately shrank his neck and crawled to a corner of the woodshed, not daring to look at Li Chongyuan again.

Seeing him, Li Chongyuan was frightened, so he stretched out his hand and waved to the second horse.

Ma Er was afraid that he would also be beaten like that man, so he quickly climbed up to Li Chongyuan, and begged sadly, "Hero, spare your life, hero, spare your life."

"It's easy to spare your life. Answer me truthfully, and you will live." Seeing that Ma Er was so knowledgeable about current affairs, Li Chongyuan saved Xing Ba and the others from doing it.

Seeing that there was a chance of survival, Ma Er nodded his head like pounding garlic.

soon.

After Li Chongyuan asked, he stood up from his chair, and said to the people around him: "Feng Zhizai, Feng Er, you better not try to escape. If anyone dares to escape, I will have someone dig a hole and bury you on the spot." Don't say your surname is Feng, even if Feng Zhidai is here, I will make the decision here."

After speaking, Li Chongyuan left the firewood room.

Just now.

Li Chongyuan knew from the head of the caravan that the special man Xingba arrested was named Feng Zhizai, and he was Feng An's No. 20 third son.

As for Ma Er, he was also from the Feng family. His original name was Feng Er.

Of course, besides helping the Feng family earn money, this Feng Er is also the leader of pirates.

The Feng family controlled the waterway, and even the sea route.

Li Chongyuan knew the general situation from Feng Er's mouth, but he didn't ask other questions.

Li Chongyuan was not in a hurry to ask about the Feng family's running away, he needed to digest it first, and then think carefully about how to know the specific reasons for the Feng family's running away from the mouths of these two people.

Li Chongyuan believed that since he had just caught these two people and came to Zhenzhou for interrogation immediately, it would be impossible for them to tell the truth.

If you want to know some news from these two people, you have to drive them crazy.

The day.

Li Chongyuan asked Xing Ba to tie up the two of them and pull up their eyelids to prevent them from closing their eyes.

Li Chongyuan has a lot of methods for interrogation.

If he wanted to drive these two people crazy, Li Chongyuan was really not worried that he couldn't do it.

This is not.

Five days later, Feng Zhizai couldn't hold it anymore, and after howling, he finally told Li Chongyuan truthfully about his Feng family.

When Li Chongyuan knew the reason why the Feng family wanted to run away from Feng Zhi's mouth, he didn't feel much fluctuation in his heart.

This is what I have guessed and thought these days.

What Feng Zhizai said cannot be separated from these.

Afterwards, Li Chongyuan came out of the firewood room, and said with a long breath: "Back then, Feng Anping made troubles in the cave. He was really afraid that he would be imprisoned in Chang'an by the Holy One, so he sent people to confuse the cavemen to make trouble, so as to get away. Feng Ang He was even more afraid that the imperial court would send troops to flatten his Feng family, open various minerals privately, forge weapons privately, and build barracks privately, in order to protect the Feng family. Hmph, it seems that the Feng family had already defeated Feng An when Feng An was alive. Make up your mind to turn against the court."

"Xiao Langjun, is Feng Zhizai's words credible?" Tang Li asked.

Li Chongyuan nodded lightly and said: "Although he, Feng Zhizai, ranks 23rd among the Feng family brothers, he is also a Feng family brother. What he said should be credible. Send a message to Liu Xiang and ask him to verify the status of the Feng family. Mines and weapons forging points in various places. Also, check the situation of the Feng family's barracks."

Tang Li followed his words and left.

The Feng family's affairs were so serious that Li Chongyuan began to want to stop.

According to Feng Zhizhi, the Feng family has more than 5 private soldiers scattered all over the place.

And these 5 people are just private soldiers, not counting those members of gangs such as the caravan.

Moreover, the Feng family also has a pirate group with thousands of people and more than [-] ships, large and small.

As for the guards, guards, servants, etc., and some people who are benefactors of the Feng family, if these people are added together, Li Chongyuan estimates that the number of soldiers that the Feng family can muster must exceed 8.

In addition to personnel, the Feng family also has more than [-] horses. Feng Zhizai said that this is not something he is in charge of.

And Feng's family has a weapons workshop, if it really goes against the imperial court, even if the imperial court sends troops to attack Feng's family, it may not be able to take it down in a short time.

Another half month later.

When Liu Xiang's news came back, what Feng Zhizai said could basically be confirmed.

On the other hand, Li Chongyuan at this time didn't know what to do.

When the Feng family wanted to cooperate in building a large ship, they sent people to investigate, but found a huge problem hidden in the Feng family.

Let it go?Or report to the court?
At this moment, Li Chongyuan seemed to have lost his mind.

"Selling the Feng family a few large paddle steamers with ordinary power and letting the Feng family run away seems to be impossible. Cooperation is even more impossible. Report to the court, and the Tang Dynasty will fall into war again by then. It's really difficult." Sitting in the residence, Li Chongyuan was thinking about it, but he didn't know how to deal with the Feng family's affairs.

Let him run away, and the Feng family will definitely take a lot of money with them.

The source of these goods is either to search for the people's fat or the people's anointing, or to steal and plunder.

Li Chongyuan was really not reconciled to these belongings being taken away by the Feng family.

Therefore, Li Chongyuan directly refused to let Feng's family escape.

As for reporting to the imperial court, the imperial court sent troops to kill the Feng family. Li Chongyuan was afraid of a war again. Don't hurt the peasants in the south of the Five Ridges even more because of himself.

It is even more impossible to persuade the Feng family to surrender.

All three roads are blocked.

Li Chongyuan is really in trouble at this moment.

It was rare for Li Chongyuan to have a sad face, not knowing what to do.

Li Chongyuan, who didn't know how to deal with the Feng family's affairs, took a long breath, and finally chose a way.

He picked up the pen, spread out the paper, and wrote the letter.

'My minister, Li Chongyuan, left Beijing to Xisha Island, and then to Lingnan Zhenzhou.'

Li Chongyuan picked up his smile and wrote letters, from the time he left Beijing to Zhenzhou, he wrote all the way, and kept writing.

But after writing about the Feng family, Li Chongyuan stopped writing, not knowing how to describe the Feng family to Li Shimin.

Write and write.

In the end, the letter was still unwritten.

For three days in a row, Li Chongyuan wrote and threw away, threw and wrote again.

After three days, this has been written so far, not a word has been written, and a letter has not been finished.

"Mr. Xiaolang, what happened to the Feng family is a matter of right and wrong. We know that you, Mr. Xiaolang, care about the peasants, but if the Feng family continues to stay in Lingnan, more farmers and common people will be persecuted by the Feng family. Even A few years later, the Feng family may cause chaos in Lingnan. Now, before the Feng family has reached the point of being uncontrollable, the imperial court sent troops to pacify the Feng family. Only in this way can the people in Lingnan be spared Difficult. Xiao Langjun, please make a long-term plan." Xing Ba and the others knew that Li Chongyuan was in a dilemma, and saw that Li Chongyuan was frowning because he didn't know how to make a decision about the Feng family's affairs, so they persuaded him.

After hearing this, Li Chongyuan sighed and said: "The Feng family is powerful. If I present this letter bluntly before the Holy One, the Holy One will be furious and send troops to pacify the Feng family. At that time, although the Feng family will be wiped out, the people in Lingnan will suffer. What's more, if the Feng family is forced to a certain extent, it may bind the people of Lingnan, live and die with the Feng family. Sigh!!! This is difficult, too difficult!"
