Start a Ming Dynasty plane

Chapter 199

Xi'an, Yuxian Building, in the six private rooms of Ren Yi Li Zhi Xin Zhong on the third floor, in the Ren brand private room, Hong Chengchou ordered a table of delicious dishes, but he was the only one eating.

But at this time, he didn't eat the dishes on the table, but drank a glass of the cheapest wine in Yuxianlou, and ate a plate of small pickles presented by Yuxianlou. attention.

A glass of wine, mouth full of spicy, recalling the past, the hard way to study.

With a mouthful of pickles, his mouth is cold, and he is devoted to the country but unable to return to heaven.

The princes of the imperial court only cared about petty profits, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty only knew the surname Zhu in the world, and they only cared about the small family, not the big country.

On the Dragon Throne, young and ignorant, although he got rid of treacherous men, he was blindly confident and abolished the commercial tax. He was so happy that he believed Yuan Chonghuan's nonsense about the five-year peace of Liaodong, and used all the power of the whole country to attack Liaodong.

I, Hong, dedicated myself to serving the country and the people, but in the end I was forced by an eunuch, hum, Your Majesty, please open your eyes, if you do this to you, the Liaodong will not be chaotic, but the world will be chaotic first.

Hong Chengchou lowered his head as he spoke, poured himself another glass of wine, looked at the delicious food on the table, and shook his head. In fact, their Hong family is also a current vested interest. Their Hong family also has a caravan they support, and they also He is sucking the blood of Daming, but he, Hong Chengchou, understands that giving up a little business tax can exchange for longer-term benefits.

Only when the Ming Dynasty survives forever can the scholar-bureaucrats get such comfort, but other people don't understand, they just want to suck blood more greedily, without end, so that no matter how big the Ming Dynasty is, it will fall apart.

The emperor didn't understand this truth, the scholar-officials didn't want to understand it, and the common people didn't deserve to understand it, but it was the eunuch Wei Zhongxian who really understood it, how ironic.

Hong Chengchou sighed, poured another glass of wine, and drank it down immediately, but Hong understood this truth, and since Hong understood it, he couldn't watch Da Ming slide down the bottomless abyss, so Zhang Jinshui, this Once, you have to die, and only when you die can the emperor and the princes of the court wake up.

"Hehehe...don't blame Hong for being poisonous, you asked for it yourself."

Hong Chengchou was drinking, with a trace of coldness on his face.

At the same time, Zhang Jinshui roared angrily at the Imperial Envoy's Mansion in Xi'an: "Hold it, hold it up, don't let these mobs rush in, hold it up for me, and quickly inform Zhang Jinru, and the Xi'an General's Mansion, Let them send soldiers to suppress it."

Zhang Jinshui roared loudly at this time, and someone outside shouted loudly: "Kill the dog Zhang Jinshui to death."

"Kill the dog Zhang Jinshui to death."

"Folks rush in, the surname Zhang won't give us people a way to live, and we can't make him feel better, beat him, beat him!"

"Come on!"

Boom, boom, boom!
Under the instigation of the 'enthusiastic' folks, the angry people completely lost their minds. It's all her mother's nonsense to think about the long-term plan and think twice before acting. .

For four taels of silver, one mu of top-grade fields can only harvest so much, and middle-grade and low-grade fields can’t collect four taels of silver. This is for us to borrow money to pay taxes.

This is really not leaving any way for the common people to live. Okay, since you don’t give the common people a way to live, the old people will not live, let you know how powerful we are.

A group of people frantically stormed the imperial envoy's office.

Zhang Jinshui was so frightened that he was dumbfounded. At this time, a relative said: "My lord, the people are crazy, we can't stop it."

Zhang Jinshui sat down on the ground at this moment, muttering: "How could this happen, how could this happen!"

I couldn't help but think back to half a month ago, when he went to Hong Chengchou to collect Xia Fu, he didn't want to ask for more. The court wanted one or two taels of money per mu, so he made up the whole, asking for two taels of silver, and left four Money, keep two coins for yourself, and give two coins to the boss above. This is so good, and everyone has benefited.

And as long as this Xia Fu is handed in, His Majesty the Emperor will definitely please him, and promotion and fortune will be just around the corner.

But when I went to find Hong Chengchou that day, Hong Chengchou was uncharacteristically, and deliberately said that there was enough rain this year and the harvest was good. At least one mu of land could earn six taels of silver. He was castrated and entered the palace since he was a child. I have never planted land, so it is natural for the officials to say what is what.

Hong Chengchou encouraged himself to collect four taels of silver per mu of land. If it was collected, His Majesty the Emperor solved the problem of Liao Xiang, then he would not have done a great job, and he might be able to replace Wang Chengen and become His Majesty's confidant. That right is still not in the sky.

At that time, Hong Chengchou still needs to raise some points himself.

People are always greedy, especially eunuchs, who wouldn't want to be Wei Zhongxian?
So Zhang Jinshui was tempted, and issued an absurd order of four taels of silver per mu of land, and all the officials in Shaanxi were either stupid or bad, and none of the officials reminded Zhang Jinshui, and the officials strictly followed Zhang Jinshui's instructions. According to the father-in-law's instructions, go down to collect taxes.

Then the angry people went completely insane, this is not letting people live, and then under the guidance of some caring people, the people surrounded the imperial envoy's office, which is the scene now.

The Imperial Envoy’s Yamen was besieged, and the news spread quickly. Zhang Jinru from Xi’an Prefecture was admiring the erotic pictures Li Chaosheng gave him in his own room. , and this little whip, this stern temperament, this milk...

dong dong dong...

The door was knocked, Zhang Jinru quickly rolled up the painting, then opened the door and said, "What's the matter?"

At this time, the yamen servant said: "My lord, the imperial yamen is surrounded by the people, shall we?"

Zhang Jinru frowned, glanced at the yamen servant and said, "Did the imperial envoy ask for help?"

"No, but my lord, the courtyard is completely surrounded, who can come out and ask for help?"

Zhang Jinru frowned and said, "Not asking for help means that everything is under the control of the imperial envoy. What's the matter with you, go back to duty and don't cause trouble."

"Yes."

The yamen servant was scolded severely, and then left with a helpless face. Zhang Jinru saw the yamen servant leave, and sneered: "It's just a stray dog, and he wants to make a fortune. He thinks this is the Apocalypse Dynasty?"

Zhang Jinru turned around and went back to the house. Opening this realistic picture scroll called World Wave, it looks like Ms. World Wave has gained another small fan from today.

At the General’s Mansion in Xi’an, someone talked about the matter at this time, but the General’s Mansion did nothing about it. This is obviously a big piece of shit. If you send troops rashly to suppress it, when the time comes to force the people to rebel, then the lives of these military officers will end. Now, who dares to meddle in this business, as for whether the imperial envoy will die or not.It's none of their business, forget it, it's still a headache, let the bandits in northern Shaanxi do big things, it's a real headache.

The mob besieged the imperial envoy's mansion for an hour, and finally the mob rushed into the imperial envoy's mansion, grabbed the imperial envoy's adult Zhang Jinshui who was hiding under the bed, and beat him to death.

As soon as this incident happened, the world was in an uproar, the court was furious, and the imperial envoy was beaten to death, which is not bad.

The one on the throne felt his face was swollen, and dropped several expensive vases angrily. The court officials were also in an uproar, but in the end it was almost the same tone. Sympathetic to the people's feelings, one mu of land actually wanted to collect four taels of silver in vain.

It's Zhang Jinshui's fault that he forced the common people to live in dire straits. His Majesty wants to quell his anger, and he can't pursue this matter. He even wants to reduce Shaanxi's tax burden for this year, otherwise he is afraid of triggering a civil uprising. .

It has to be said that this is definitely an old-fashioned way of seeking the country. At this time, anger is useless, it can only show the incompetence of the court, and if the court has a cramp and insists on punishing the people, it will definitely stir up civil uprisings, and it will aggravate the situation in Shaanxi. The anti-thief forces are gone.

Emperor Chongzhen had no choice but to agree, and ordered to reduce the tax burden in Shaanxi, so the tax burden in Shaanxi this year is less than last year.

But the emperor's heart is not going well, his face is swollen from the beating, can this matter be resolved so easily?

Can the emperor bear this tone?
The answer is that I can't bear it, I can't touch you people, can I still not touch you officials?

So Emperor Chongzhen ordered to severely punish all officials in the officialdom in Shaanxi. There are too many crimes.

But Chongzhen did not dare to play too big. After all, Shaanxi has a pot of porridge, and sending other officials is not as good as these officials, so this time it was raised high and put down gently.

The court ministers also knew that the emperor must be relieved, so they ordered the Shaanxi officialdom to find some dispensable officials who did not perform well and abolish a group, imprison a group, and give the court a good report.

As a result, the officialdom in Shaanxi was shaken, and some officials who performed poorly felt insecure and began to look for ways out, but some officials with deep roots and abilities were not afraid at all.

For example, Hong Chengchou, he was behind the turmoil. As a result, after the incident, he was not only not punished, but was appreciated by Yang He. capable.

There is no doubt about Hong Chengchou's ability, so at the time of employing people, he caught up with the Chief Minister Zhang being dismissed. Under the recommendation of Yang He and the operation of Hong Chengchou's relationship with the capital, Hong Chengchou was finally promoted one step further and became the Chief Minister of Shaanxi. And help Yang He stabilize the area in southern Shaanxi.

After all, rebels are everywhere in northern Shaanxi, and bandits are also a disaster in southern Shaanxi.

Therefore, the most important thing in Shaanxi now is to maintain stability, and the imperial court will give Shaanxi officials a lot of autonomy in order to maintain stability. Yes, the Shaanxi issue will be resolved soon.

When Hong Chengchou was promoted, Li Chaosheng asked Laotu to give him 1000 taels of silver instead. After all, Hong Chengchou's promotion was a good thing for him.

And Hong Chengchou also readily accepted, and said that soon there will be a big fortune for Li Chaosheng.

Li Chaosheng didn't know what it was, and he didn't care, because Li Chaosheng was delayed by other things.

That is, something happened to the crops. Although the summer grain court reduced the tax, the people only had one hand to make ends meet, and they were waiting for the autumn grain to be planted quickly to solve the problem of food and clothing.

But since mid-July, it has stopped raining in Shaanxi. The field seedlings have just been planted, but how can we do it without water?
The common people were all stunned, looking at the big poisonous sun in the sky, their hearts were extremely sad, God really wanted to kill him?
The green field seedlings must be scorched to death by the sun a little bit. This era of disasters and disasters for Ming Dynasty is coming.

All of a sudden, the whole of Shaanxi was in despair, and all the rice shops and grain shops in Shaanxi were closed. Who still has extra grain these days?

The granary in Xi'an Prefecture began to run out, and the whole of Shaanxi was worried about food.

Every day you can see people kneeling in the ground, touching the dry and dead seedlings with their rough hands, crying like a child, God, why don't you open your eyes.

However, there is one exception in all of Shaanxi, and that is Li Chaosheng's newly opened Liudayukou, as well as Li Chaosheng's own land in Tanggou Town.

What saved them was the canals and reservoirs.

If it doesn't rain, let's use the water from the reservoir. There is a lot of water in the reservoir, and there is more than enough to irrigate the land in Liudagou Valley. The corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes in the fields are growing crazily.

Moreover, Dayukou also raises pigs and sheep, and usually feeds some fodder, and even some sweet potato vines can be pulled out to feed the pigs, and the sweet potato vines climb very quickly.

The fields of Li Chaosheng in Daogou Valley are also irrigated with water from the reservoir, and they are all growing very luxuriantly, while the seedlings in the land of Wang Laocai's family not far away can no longer hold on.

Wang Laocai sighed after looking at the seedlings every day, and finally couldn't help it. He found Li Jinli and hoped to borrow some water from Li's reservoir.

Li Jinli said that he can't be the master. Although he is the patriarch now, the whole clan listens to Li Chaosheng. You should contact Li Chaosheng for this matter.

Wang Laocai had no choice but to go to Li Chaosheng. Li Chaosheng was escaping the summer heat in the yard at this time, and there were watermelons just taken out of the refrigerator on the table.

Watermelon is native to China. It was introduced into China very early during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. It is recorded in the Compendium of Materia Medica that Hu Qiao got the melon seeds in Huihe, and it is called watermelon.

As for the refrigerator, this is a small refrigerator that Li Chaosheng brought from Hyundai. There is electricity in the barracks, and it happens to freeze watermelons.

Li Chaosheng was eating watermelon and was talking to Gu Zi and his close friends. Gu Zi and the others were each holding a big watermelon to eat again. Hong Chengchou was behind the killing?"

Li Chaosheng gnawed a mouthful of watermelon and spat out the watermelon seeds, saying, "It's almost the same, Hong Chengchou has the means to complete such a poisonous plan."

Shi Xiaolei on the side said: "Then why did Hong Chengchou do this?"

Li Chaosheng said: "Hong Chengchou, what should I say? He is a man of affairs, and he understands the sufferings of the world. This year, the imperial court increased the tax in Shaanxi. This is a matter of catching fish. Hong Chengchou is such a shrewd person, he can't do it, so he is anxious. That's right, Zhang Jinshui has been overshadowed."

Guo Bao picked up another piece of watermelon at this time and said: "But what he did was a big blow to the Shaanxi government. The imperial envoy was killed, which further weakened the people's fear of officials, and these people have not been punished yet. From today onwards, officials in Shaanxi should be on high alert."

Li Chaosheng heard this and said: "Yes, these officials will not be able to sleep well. It can be said that they have killed a thousand enemies and lost eight hundred."

That's right, after this incident, at least half of Shaanxi's official prestige was wiped out. Anyone who has seen the bullets fly knows that if you want to kill these powerful people, you must first destroy their prestige. Then it was the scene where a group of people rushed into Mr. Huang's house.

Now that the people have killed the imperial envoy, there is nothing wrong with it, and the tax has been reduced or exempted. The people have seen the attitude of the court. From now on, the mob can kill officials in the same way.

Li Chaosheng explained to a few people, at this time Shi Xiaolei frowned and said, "Can't Hong Chengchou see such a flaw?"

Li Chaosheng heard this and said: "He is a very conceited person. He thinks that the prestige he lost can be regained by himself."

After hearing this, everyone didn't know what to say, but Gu Zi said, "But even if Hong Chengchou wants to do this, the magistrate, don't those magistrates know the consequences of doing so?"

Li Chaosheng looked at Gu Zi and said: "These officials are also being pushed into a hurry. The emperor is anxious to pacify Liaodong. Taxes have been increased again and again. This piece of rotten meat in Shaanxi can no longer support it. If it is true that taxes are collected according to the imperial court's plan, the following There will definitely be rebellions among the people, and if there are people rebelling under the rule of a county magistrate, do you want their heads?"

"If you kill Zhang Jinshui now, at most you will lose a little bit of official prestige, but if Zhang Jinshui is not dead, you will lose your official life. If you were an official, how would you choose?"

After hearing this, Gu Zi was stunned, and started to eat silently, "Sure enough, Zhang Jinshui should be killed."

At this time Li Chaosheng said: "Unfortunately, these officials have good ideas, but God doesn't want their plan to come true, this autumn is another year of catastrophe.

Li Chaosheng thought about it and sighed. At this moment, a guard came to report that Wang Laocai asked to see him.

Li Chaosheng glanced at Guo Bao and said, "I'm here, I'm gone, go tell Wang Laocai about our conditions."

After hearing this, Guo Bao said, "Yes, leave me a piece of that watermelon."

After hearing this, Shi Xiaolei said: "Mmm, let's go."

Guo Bao frowned, Gu Zi and Shi Xiaolei ate it with great satisfaction, it seemed that they were not going to leave it to Guo Bao.

Li Chaosheng didn't see Wang Laocai, Guo Bao saw Wang Laocai instead, Wang Laocai looked at Guo Bao and said, "Where's Li Chaosheng?"

Guo Bao took a look at Wang Laocai and said: "Our brigade commander doesn't want to see you, by the way, we already know what you are talking about this time, our brigade commander said that we can lend water to your household, but there are conditions. "

Wang Laocai frowned and said, "What conditions?"

Guo Baodao: "Your family has a total of 16 mu of land. My brigade commander said that I will reserve [-] mu for you, and sell the rest to us. The land price will be [-] taels for high-grade land, seven taels for middle-class land, and seven taels for low-grade land. Tian, ​​um, your family doesn’t have a second-class field anymore.”

"You want my land? Impossible."

Wang Laocai said angrily with his eyes wide open, Guo Bao smiled at this moment and said: "Hehe...we are not buying and selling by force, you can do it yourself, go back and think about it, you are here to find us."

As Guo Bao said, he turned and went back to the house, and then saw the smallest piece of watermelon left on the table, picked it up and took a bite, and it was gone.

Wang Laocai was very angry at this time, and he scolded Li Chaosheng for being disrespectful and devoid of conscience in front of the barracks, and then he was interrupted by a group of soldiers.

Seeing Wang Laocai like this, the old housekeeper hurriedly stepped forward to ask what was wrong, Wang Laocai told the other party's conditions, the housekeeper thought for a while and said, "Master, I think this land should be sold."

Hearing this, Wang Laocai glanced at the old housekeeper, who said at this time: "Master, are you talking about farming to earn money now? A while ago, the court wanted to collect four liang of silver per mu of land, although it failed, but this time It's the intention of the court."

"It won't work once, twice, or three times?"

The housekeeper said to Wang Laocai: "Sooner or later, the tax will definitely come up, and this year is not as good as every year. It rained last July, but this year there is not a single drop of rain. This means that there are countless grains, and the fields do not grow crops." , how will we pay taxes this autumn?"

Wang Laocai's eyes widened after hearing this, yes, how to pay the autumn tax.

The butler said: "Master, this old slave said something that should not be said. In this peaceful and prosperous age, this land is an industry, but in troubled times, this land will be the root of disaster. Look at those landlords in northern Shaanxi, how many of them have a good end?"

Hearing this, Wang Laocai stared, as if he remembered the behavior of the thieves in northern Shaanxi recently. When they came to a place, they killed officials, landlords and gentry, just like locusts crossing the border. Once they come, no grass will grow.

After trying to understand that Wang Laocai was a little shaken at this time, the butler said at this time: "Master, the court did not collect commercial taxes, so Master Fang sold all the land to Li Chaosheng, and now he took his family to make a fortune. It is said that the industry is not growing fast. Less."

Hearing this, Wang Laocai's heart was moved, and he turned around and went back to the barracks.

"Let Li Chaosheng come out."

Li Chaosheng gave Guo Bao a wink at this time, Guo Bao went out immediately, but just after he went out, Wang Laocai said, "Let Li Chaosheng come out, my land is going to be sold, he must see me."

Hearing this, the door of the room opened suddenly, followed by Li Chaosheng, walked out with a smile and said, "Oh, Uncle Wang, I have been busy just now, come and sit with Uncle, and go and give Uncle Wang my iced watermelon Cut a piece."

Seeing Li Chaosheng like this, Guo Bao walked into the room and muttered, "It's becoming more and more like a profiteer."

The negotiation was very successful. Wang Laocai sold 1 mu of land and took Li Chaosheng's [-] taels of silver in total, leaving only [-] mu of land as his own land.

Li Chaosheng was very satisfied with this. As for the 1 taels of silver, Li Chaosheng didn't care too much. After all, he had more than 30 taels of silver in his hand and couldn't spend it.

After signing the contract, Li Chaosheng is now the largest landowner in Tanggou Town, and now almost all the land in Tanggou Town is his. Li Chaosheng is very satisfied with this.

Immediately afterwards, Li Chaosheng asked people to dig a canal overnight to divert water to Wang Laocai's wheat field. After all, he sold them to him. These wheat seedlings are Li Chaosheng's own wheat, so they should be taken care of.

Moreover, Li Chaosheng saw a general plan to acquire land in Lantian County from Wang Laocai.

Li Chaosheng has always had an idea to divide the land by beating the local tyrants, but Li Chaosheng found that this matter cannot be done now, and if he does it, he will cut himself off from the world.

After all, the most powerful people in this era are the local tyrants and evil gentry, and they are officials. If they engage in egalitarianism, they will push themselves to the opposite side of this dynasty, and their fate will be miserable.

Since it is impossible to divide the land blindly by the local tyrants, can we buy all the land and make it our own, and become the biggest land merger by ourselves, and then I can make everyone have a field on my land.

In this way, no one will reject me, so I pretend to take refuge first, and then quietly strengthen myself, and when I have changed the world, I will have a vigorous land reform. I think the resistance should be the least at that time.

This can be regarded as a curve to save the country.

And now money is useless in your hands. These days, everyone trusts food far more than silver, just like the army. Now the military pay is also food, and everyone is very satisfied.

So the current policy is to buy land, so Li Chaosheng took out 30 taels of silver, leaving only tens of thousands of taels of pocket money, and all the rest of the silver was used to buy land.

In the past, the success rate of buying land was not very high, but this year is different. There are almost no canals and fewer reservoirs in other parts of Lantian, so the disaster is doomed to be severe in the next few years. The number of particles may be exaggerated, but the reduction of production by [-]% to [-]% is definitely common. The situation, such a bad situation, coupled with the tax disturbance this year, made the landlords panic.

After all, even if there is no harvest this year, I still have to pay taxes. This has added hundreds of thousands of taels of famine, which makes all the landlords feel like a thorn in their backs and a thorn in their throats.

At this time, Li Chaosheng's land requisition team came, and all the landlords were tempted. We don't want to sell so much, and each of us sells a few hundred acres first to reduce the pressure.

So this house has hundreds of acres, and that house has hundreds of acres. Soon Li Chaosheng hoarded far more land than he has now. 30 taels is not enough to spend, but after this operation, Li Chaosheng is definitely the land of Lantian County now. most people.

Li Chaosheng took the land, and immediately thought of a way to reduce the disaster as much as possible. If this situation were put in place now, it could be solved, and an artificial rainfall could solve it.

But in this era, artificial rainfall cannot be realized at all, because artificial rainfall requires rockets to be launched, and rockets are strictly controlled, and Li Chaosheng can't get them at all.

If he can get artificial rainfall equipment, Li Chaosheng can even plan an activity to myth himself, such as doing something to move the sky and the earth.

The simplest thing is that Li Chaosheng in Lantian saw that there was no rain and the people were suffering, and he felt so much pain that he set up a platform in Tanggou Town and knelt down to pray for rain. The heaven and the earth were moved, and it rained heavily three days later, saving the people from fire and water.

As far as this operation is concerned, according to the thinking of the people of the Ming Dynasty, Li Chaosheng must be praised to the sky. From then on, people in Lantian will feel sorry for Li Chaosheng's favor. What a bargain.

Li Chaosheng was a little excited when he thought about it. If he was given such a chance, it would be obviously impossible.

When Li Chaosheng was buying land on a large scale, a news suddenly reached Li Chaosheng's ears. Zhang Jinshui was beaten to death. The court was furious and reshuffled the officialdom in Shaanxi.

Then the unlucky Lantian county magistrate Zhang Dezheng ate melons, was beaten to the end, and demoted to a commoner.

It's not Zhang Dezheng's fault, the main reason is that Zhang Dezheng's roots are not upright. He followed the path of the eunuch party at that time as the county magistrate. He was considered half of the eunuch party. Various suppressions, arrests, and beheadings.

The big fish were almost cleaned up, but the little Xiami Zhixian was not liked by the bosses at all, so they didn't spare their hands. As a result, when Zhang Jinshui's incident happened, the Xi'an government needed officials to take the blame.

That's nothing to say, let's do some research, this research, everyone saw it, hey, this magistrate of Lantian is a remnant of the eunuch party, who doesn't want to fuck him?
As a result, the magistrate of Lantian, who was corrupt and broke the law, was dismissed and resigned within a time limit.

As soon as the news came out, Zhang Dezheng almost passed out. The magistrate he bought for 2 taels was gone.

But what troubled him even more now was how to take the money he had collected over the years out of Lantian. This was a difficult problem.

So Zhang Dezheng began to recruit swordsmen, and at the same time hired bodyguards, messed up, and organized a battle of 400 people. Only then did he feel that it was almost done. As long as he could get him out of Lantian safely, he would give these swordsmen a fortune.

However, this news could not be concealed, and Li Chaosheng knew it directly. At this time, Gu Zi personally told the news to Li Chaosheng who was eating.

Li Chaosheng didn't even eat after hearing this.

"Okay, I'm worried that I don't have enough money, so I'm here to give you money."

Li Chaosheng was very happy. Now in Lantian County, as long as Li Chaosheng wanted to, he wouldn't even have a mosquito to go out. Zhang Dezheng wanted to go through Liudayukou, after all, there was such a big convoy.

If Zhang Dezheng ran alone, with more agility, he was able to cross mountains and ridges, and enter the old forest, Li Chaosheng didn't recruit him, but if you have a convoy and go to the valley, then you won't run.

At this moment, Li Chaosheng looked at Guzi and said, "Send a message to Bai Shoumin, saying that Zhang Dezheng has been watched, and don't let this big fish sneak away."

Bai Shoumin wrote back, understanding.

But this communication didn't take long, at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, Bai Shoumin sent a telegram to inform Li Chaosheng that Zhang Dezheng ran away during the night.

But the thing is like this, Zhang Dezheng announced today that he would hold a farewell banquet, so he called everyone together with great fanfare, and had a delicious meal. Bai Shoumin also went, and they didn't dissolve until eleven o'clock in the evening.

Bai Shoumin kept an eye out for it, and after the dissolution, he asked people to watch the magistrate's office. As a result, at midnight, Zhang Dezheng's family pulled twelve carts, went out, and ran away in the dark.

Li Chaosheng couldn't help laughing when he heard this, Zhang De just played a golden cicada to escape the shell for everyone.

It's a pity that his opponent is himself. Thinking of Li Chaosheng's direct call to Liudayukou, all the teams that passed through tonight will be stopped. No matter who it is, the money and goods will be left behind, and the people will be released. You're welcome, kill it.

So that night, all Liudayukou were awake, put up the barricades, and waited for Zhang Dezheng to take the bait himself.The people's fat and people's ointment collected in Lantian will stay in Lantian honestly.

At about three o'clock in the night, Li Chaosheng received a reply from Liudayukou, saying that they had robbed a carriage every way, and each carriage contained 1 taels of silver, but Zhang Dezheng was missing.

Li Chaosheng laughed when he heard this. This Zhang Dezheng is really smart. He knew that his journey was definitely not safe, so he scattered the money to other places. It was a good way to send it all the way, but he didn't expect to be robbed by him.

But Bai Shoumin said that there were twelve carts, so how about six carts?
