Paper Maker: This is the end of the Ming Dynasty in Liaozhai

Chapter 136
Jinyiwei Yamen in Jinan Prefecture.

In the martial arts arena, Su Hao held the Xiuchun Knife in his hand, twirling around. His body was like a fox in the snow. The Xiuchun Knife in his hand would strike at angles almost unforeseen by ordinary people. Every move and every move revealed a cold and murderous aura. It seems that every move and style is created for killing.

After rehearsing for a long time, Su Hao slowly put away his saber and stood up, focusing his gaze on the system. At this time, the system showed that the enlightenment points required to comprehend saber techniques had decreased from 3000 points to 2650 points.

Seeing this scene, Su Hao nodded in satisfaction. His hard work was not in vain. Since he got the secret book of sword techniques, he spent nearly half a month to master the first sword technique. But it also reduced 350 enlightenment points. After the remaining dozen or so sword techniques are practiced, the enlightenment points needed to comprehend the sword technique should be reduced by more than half.

Although the further you go, the enlightenment points that can be reduced by a sword technique will drop significantly, but such things as sword techniques are all based on experience, and they are well understood. After reaching a certain level, they may not even need to be practiced. , You can learn a lot at a glance.

At this time, Liao Qing hurried in, came to the side of the martial arts arena, saluted and said: "Qianhu, there are two trial hundred households from Jinyiwei Yamen in Kaifeng Prefecture who are asking to see you, saying they are your old friends."

An old man from Kaifeng Mansion?

Hearing Liao Qing's words, Su Hao's first reaction was He Liusan and the others, so he quickly said, "Take me there quickly."

Although he also stayed in Kaifeng Mansion for more than half a year, except for He Liusan, he and most of the other people in the yamen were just acquaintances, and those people would not come to him even if they had something to do.

When they came outside the attic, it was indeed Jiang Shizhong and Gan Yang. From a distance, Su Hao greeted him, "Brother Zhong, Brother Yang, why are you here? I didn't inform you in advance, so I can pick you up." ah."

Although he has a thousand households now, he has no intention of showing off to Jiang Shizhong and Gan Yang. In this world, he does not have many friends. He Liu, Jiang Shizhong, and Gan Yang are his best friends. friends.

Seeing Su Hao approaching from afar, both Jiang Shizhong and Gan Yang were extremely moved. Although they had a premonition since Su Hao joined the Jinyiwei, Su Hao would never be an idler, but they didn't expect it either. In less than half a year of separation, Su Hao has changed from a hundred households to a thousand households today, and even climbed into the thigh of Jinyiwei's commander Tong Zhi, becoming the most popular figure in Jinyiwei.

After welcoming Jiang Shizhong and Gan Yang into the lobby, the three chatted about what happened after they separated.

After chatting for a long time, Jiang Shizhong took the initiative to bring up the business, and said with a smile: "Brother Su, Gan Yang and I came here this time to join you, and I hope Brother Su can take you in."

Hearing Jiang Shizhong's words, Su Hao's eyes flashed with strangeness, but he didn't stop talking, and said with a smile: "The two elder brothers are willing to come to help the younger brother. The younger brother can't ask for it, so why would he refuse? Don't worry, the younger brother. Let people rush to the capital as soon as possible, and ask people to transfer the two elder brothers to Jinan Mansion."

For him, transferring Jiang Shizhong to the Jinyiwei Yamen is just a matter of effort, and now he just lacks someone he can trust. Although Jiang Shizhong and the two are not strong, they have also solved his urgent need. With the help of two personal guards, he can save a lot of trouble.

Hearing Su Hao's words, Jiang Shizhong and the two breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, going to Su Hao is their last fight. The task they accepted this time is less than a month away from the time of handover. If they can't complete it Wu Kun would definitely not mind kicking them out of Jinyiwei Yamen.

They tried hundreds of households as Jinyiwei, and they offended many people in the process of handling the case. Once they lost their official status as Jinyiwei, they would not be far from death.

"Two brothers, you came to Jinan, but that guy Wu Kun is too deceptive?"

At this moment, Su Hao asked.

"Yes."

With a wry smile, Jiang Shizhong explained Wu Kun's actions against the three of them.

"In that case, why didn't Sixth Brother come with you?"

Hearing this, Su Hao frowned and said, "With my younger brother's relationship in the capital, it's not impossible to transfer Sixth Brother to Jinan Mansion. Why bother to be angry with that surnamed Wu in Kaifeng Mansion."

Gan Yang shook his head and said, "Sixth brother wants to wait for Qianhu to come back."

Hearing Gan Yang's words, Su Hao couldn't do anything about it. He Liu received a lot of favor from Zuo Yifeng. It might not be so easy for He Liu to abandon Zuo Yifeng and join him in Jinan Mansion.

"How's the situation over there?"

After a moment of silence, Su Hao asked again: "When will you be back?"

During this period of time, he has been busy with his own affairs, and has no time to inquire about the affairs of Guiyang Mansion. He only knows that the situation there is not bad, and he has not heard any news of the big defeat.

"The battle over there is not bad."

Jiang Shizhong said in a low tone: "I heard that Governor Wang won several battles, and even the flying zombie that An Bangyan painstakingly refined lost two ends. Several masters from Maoshan sealed it and escorted it back to Maoshan for a thorough seal."

Maoshan sealed a flying zombie?
Hearing Jiang Shizhong's words, Su Hao narrowed his eyes slightly. Mao Shan has made a lot of money this time. He is much stronger than ordinary martial arts masters. Although he is not as good as Xiantian masters, he is definitely not weak. As long as An Bangyan is wiped out With the spiritual imprint under him, Maoshan has an extra guardian, and with the methods of the Maoshan faction, this flying zombie may not be able to go further.

At this time, Jiang Shizhong continued: "The reason why Wu Kun targeted us so much is because the victory over there is in sight. Wu Kun is worried that Qianhu will come back soon, which will affect his status in the yamen. Now we are the only ones in the yamen who are not here. Trust him, that's why he wants to drive us all away before Qianhu comes back, so that no one can use Qianhu when he comes back."

"Brother Zhong, please write a letter to Sixth Brother for me, asking him to be transferred to Jinan Mansion for the time being. After Qianhu comes back, I will send him back to Qianhu's command through my relationship."

After thinking for a while, Su Hao said again: "It's too dangerous for Sixth Brother to stay in Kaifeng Mansion. Wu Kun is not the kind to get along with."

"I'll write to Sixth Brother."

Jiang Shizhong nodded, but he didn't have any hope for He Liu to come to Jinan Mansion. After so many years of life and death with He Liu, he knew He Liu very well, and He Liu was very reasonable in some aspects.

...

Tongjia.

"Sixth brother, many in-laws of the Wang family have come to ask us if we can rescue the Wang family. What do you think?"

Tong Hong is holding a teacup, his face is full of sorrow. The Wang family has rooted in Jinan Prefecture for nearly 200 years. Although it is not as powerful as their Tong family now, it is still a wealthy family. The chain arrested dozens of members of the Wang family, but it made the Tong family offend dozens of families in Shandong.

Even the Kong family sent someone to ask, because the daughter of an elder of the Kong family married the eldest son of the Wang family. If those members of the Wang family could not be rescued, the Tong family would definitely be rejected by the Shandong gentry. The family's influence in Shandong will definitely decline.

"This can't be helped."

Tong Lian shook his head and sighed: "This time the Wang family really did too much. Even if the Shen family is their in-laws, how can their Wang family intervene in this kind of matter, but Su Hao took advantage of it. The Wang family deserves to be punished."

After thinking for a while, Tong Hong said: "Before Su Hao didn't bring the members of the Wang family with him when he went to Beijing, obviously he left room for it. You go to Fucheng Prison to meet the head of the Wang family and ask him what price he is willing to pay to settle this matter?"

"Ah."

Hearing this, Tong Lian nodded lightly. In order to prevent the local Jinyiwei from having too much power, the imperial court did not set up prisons for the local Jinyiwei. Go to the prison of the local government and be supervised by the local government.

.........

Jinyiwei yamen.

In the attic of Qianhu, four middle-aged men sat in the room with their eyes closed and meditated with decadent expressions on their faces.

At this time, the door of the room opened suddenly, and a figure in a big red flying fish suit walked in.

"Have the four of you made up your mind?"

Looking at the four people who were meditating with their eyes closed, Su Hao said indifferently: "Would you like to work for me?"

The four were exactly Luo Yi, Wu Feng, Peng Guan, and Guo Hong who attacked the Jinyiwei yamen with Shen Kai before, and they were taken down by him. Before he went to Beijing, he did not hand over the four to the imperial court.

He wants to form his own power, but there is no one under him to use. Although Tang Xiangjin and the others have taken refuge in him, it is more because of his status as a thousand households of the Jinyiwei. If he chooses to rebel, will Tang Xiangjin and the others? It's hard to say if you continue to follow him.

With his current status, it is okay to train a few or a dozen personal guards. If there are more, he will definitely be impeached by the civil officials of Jinan Prefecture. When the time comes for a crime of conspiracy, even Fang Haichuan will not be able to keep him. .

That's why he wants to subdue the four of Luo Yi and use the strength of the four to train for him, and the resources needed for training are by no means rare. With his current financial resources alone, it is difficult to support hundreds of martial arts practitioners, especially But he still wants to train hundreds of martial artists in two or three years, and the cost of it is even more.

He only has tens of thousands of taels of silver left on him now, and he hasn’t gone to the Lu family’s treasure trove yet, but there shouldn’t be too many. At the top of the sky, it’s only a few dozen or two hundred thousand taels of silver. After all, the Lu family needs such a thing. The small family that stole grain was far from being comparable to the Shen family.

The money is only enough for him to practice, but it is far from enough to train soldiers. Therefore, he needs a few people who can help him earn money and help him train soldiers. Luo Yi and the other four are the most suitable candidates. They are strong enough. He has no official status, so he saved the four of Luo Yi.

"Su Qianhu, what happened to the Shen family?"

Hearing Su Hao's words, Luo Yi slowly opened his eyes and asked.

"Chop all over the house."

Hearing this, Su Hao said calmly: "If I hadn't saved the four of you, you probably would have gone to Huangquan together with the Shen family."

"Thank you Qianhu for saving me!"

Luo Yi showed a trace of gratitude on his face. Although it was because of Su Hao that they ended up like this, he did not blame Su Hao. He has been in the rivers and lakes for most of his life, and he is very clear about the truth that everyone should Responsible for his own choice, since he chose to attack the Jinyiwei Yamen with Shen Kai, he was already prepared to fail.

Now that Su Hao is willing to save them, he has no choice but to accept this kindness. Although Su Hao saved them for his own purpose, he has to admit that Su Hao did save their lives.

"Thank you Qianhu for saving me."

The remaining three, Wu Feng, Peng Guan, and Guo Hong, also quickly said that those who can survive the bloody rivers and lakes and get into the first-class realm have no eyesight, and those who have no eyesight have two feet of grass on their graves. Taller.

After a moment of silence, Luo Yi then asked, "I don't know what Qianhu wants us to do?"

Although Su Hao asked if he was willing to work for him, in fact there was no room for them to choose. If they didn't work for Su Hao, they would be useless. You don't need to think about the fate of the trash.

"I want you to go to the Dezhou Water Transport Wharf to form a foot gang to control all the coolies in the entire terminal, and then use the Dezhou Water Transport Wharf as the foundation to control the foot labor coolies in all the water transport terminals in Shandong."

Hearing this, Su Hao said indifferently, this is the first step for him to build up his power. The most fertile places in the whole Shandong Province are the two sides of the canal. To be precise, there are many piers on the canal.

"Qianhu, these piers are all the sites of the rich families in Shandong. If these places are moved, those rich families will never let it go."

Hearing Su Hao's words, Luo Yi showed a worried expression: "Although the strength of the few of us is good, I'm afraid we have little hope of gaining a foothold in these places."

Who in the world does not know that gold flows in the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, but if you want to gain a foothold in these places, in addition to strength, you must also have the support of local wealthy families, and the latter is more important than the former, without the support of these wealthy families Back them up, they can't even get a foothold.

"Don't worry, I will take care of those wealthy families and the government."

Su Hao waved his hand flatly. Now he is called the number one vicious dog under Wei Eunuchs. Although this name is not good to hear, it has to be said that the deterrent effect is really good. As long as Wei Zhongxian is not defeated, his name is enough To intimidate most of the officials in Shandong's chief ministerial department, and the current governor of water transportation is Wei Zhongxian's man. He also plans to take some time to visit Huai'an mansion. As long as he wins the help of the other party, everything will not be a big problem.

"The subordinates are willing to go through fire and water for thousands of households!"

Hearing this, the four of Luo Yi looked at each other, then knelt down on one knee at the same time, and saluted. They were able to work for the Shen family back then, so naturally they don't mind changing to another owner, although this owner is not as rich and powerful as the Shen family. But the power is obviously stronger than the Shen family.

"I have already sent people to bring your family members to Jinan Mansion."

Su Hao took out a piece of paper from his bosom: "This is your family's address. I will let someone release the restriction on your dantian later, so you can go back and reunite with your family."
