In the Southern Song Dynasty, I competed with Mongolia for the world

Chapter 623 The opportunity has come
"Erniu." He suddenly shouted loudly.

The seven-year-old son Erniu ran out and said, "Daddy."

"Go to Uncle Zhu's house and tell him there are seven wild boars coming."

"Oh, I see." Ernian didn't know what it meant, but he just ran out to the street.

I accidentally bumped into Wei An on the way.

"Sorry, little boy." Wei An said with a grin.

Erniu didn't say anything. He didn't know them anyway, so he ignored them and continued running.

"This little country boy is so rude." Wei An started scolding him as soon as he saw him running away.

"What are you doing? Do your business and ignore him." Wu Zhi was dissatisfied and signaled him not to care about the child and stared at Zhao's house.

They walked up and down the street, looking for a good place to ambush, and finally found one near a teahouse on the corner of East Street.

This road leads to Jinyiwei, and Zhao Yurui must take this road when going to work.

And there is a corner that can block the view.

Several people were sitting in the teahouse, discussing this matter in a low voice, but they didn't know that the owner of the teahouse was Tang He.

"Boss, the tea is here." Suddenly a voice sounded behind him, and Tang He brought a tray of tea with a smile.

Wu Zhi and the others didn't think much about it and didn't say anything. They waited for Tang He to leave and continued chatting while making tea.

"Three of you are here, two of you are in this corner, and Lao Lu and I are here." Wu Zhi was arranging tactics. He didn't know whether Zhao Yurui would take the car to work, so he divided the people into several groups. Regardless of whether they took the car or not, there were more people in this corner, and the cars would have to slow down. They would rush up from several directions and fire randomly at the car, which would definitely kill Zhao Yurui.

It would be better if you don't take a car. You can still surround them from all sides and start shooting.

Several people discussed the matter while drinking tea.

Not a moment.

Ah, someone said that he had a stomachache, and asked Tang He, "Is there a toilet here?"

"In the backyard downstairs." Tang He said with a smile.

The man ran downstairs holding his stomach, ran all the way downstairs, turned into the backyard, and just as he entered the yard, he saw two people coming towards him.

He didn't care because he had already seen the word "Toilet" in front of him. Just as he was about to walk over, two people opposite him came forward from both sides and stretched out their hands at the same time.

He held his arm with one hand and thrust the knives in from both sides.

"Ugh" The man didn't utter a word and died instantly.

The two men dragged the man and threw him to the side.

After a while, another person ran down from above.

"My stomach aches. My stomach aches."

This man had just walked out of the yard when he was met by two people who grabbed him from the left and right and poked him left and right.

"Hiss." Wu Zhi touched his stomach and said angrily, "Boss, is there something wrong with your tea? Why do I have a stomachache?"

"No way, it's fresh tea." Tang He said with a bitter face: "How come others are fine?"

"Damn, there must be something wrong with your tea. Oh, I need to go to the bathroom." Wu Zhi also stood up.

Then Wei An also felt a dull pain in his stomach.

Wei An went down at the same time with another person.

The two men walked and cursed, both cursing their boss.

But as soon as I walked out of the hospital, I saw two people holding down a person on the ground and stabbing him.

Ah, there were screams at the scene.

Hiss, Wei An and the other man gasped and turned around to escape.

Behind them, Tang He and Wu Zhen were looking at them with daggers in their hands and grinning faces.

"Fuck." Wei An's soul flew away and he rushed forward wanting to fight to the death.

Originally they were all gangsters and were good fighters.

But my stomach really hurts and I have diarrhea. I can’t bear it unless I flush it out.

Puff puff, in the blink of an eye, he was knocked to the ground by Tang He and the others.

The people sent by Zhou Xiong were quickly wiped out.

While they were being wiped out, Zhao Yurui was also looking for Zhou Xiong in Qingyuan Prefecture.

Zhou Xiong hangs around everywhere, has no fixed residence, and is not easy to find.

It took him three days to find out Zhou Xiong's whereabouts after he arrived in Qingyuan Prefecture.

Then wait for news from Wu Tiancheng in Jiankang, and when Wu Tiancheng says he is ready, both sides will take action at the same time.

Kill Zhou Xiong on this side and kill Zhou Jun on the other side.

Both father and son were killed on the same day.

Among them, Wu Tiancheng, who killed Zhou Jun, listened to Zhao Yurui and did not use a rifle but a pistol instead, so as not to arouse suspicion of the rebels.

Once the imperial court believes that the murder was committed by the rebels, it will inevitably conduct a focused investigation.

In the 1352th year of Emperor Wu's reign (), Zhou Jun, deputy envoy of the Jiangnan Province, and his son were killed on the same day, shocking the whole country.

If this happened in the ancient Song Dynasty, the imperial court would have made every effort to solve the case.

But now the Yuan Dynasty court was in chaos, and the Hunan rebels were growing stronger, so the court ordered the local Jinyiwei to supervise the situation and no longer intervened.

The death of Zhou Jun and his son caused a greater sensation in Qingyuan and Dinghai.

Many people who are interested can guess who killed him.

Before his death, Zhou Xiong wanted to acquire shares in the cigarette factory, which provoked Zhao Yurui. Anyone who knew the inside story believed that it was Zhao Yurui who did it.

A few days after Zhou Xiong's death, Xu Zheng, a captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, summoned Zhao Yurui.

Zhao Yurui was still a little panicked at the time. He brought a few people to Qingyuan Prefecture, and then dared to enter the Jinyiwei Qianhu Suo.

He also had a grenade in his arms, and if Xu Zheng dared to catch him, he would use it to fight to the death.

But it was obvious that he was overthinking it.

Xu Zheng has shares in the cigarette factory, and there is no evidence in these two cases, so who would want to mess with Zhao and Rui?

"I've been transferred." Xu Zheng said straight to the point: "To Lin'an, as the commander-in-chief."

The Jinyiwei of the Yuan Dynasty was different from that of the Ming Dynasty.

Usually a thousand households were in charge of several prefectures and states. For example, Xu Zheng's thousand households were in Qingyuan Prefecture, but he managed the counties of Qingyuan Prefecture, Shaoxing Prefecture, and Taizhou Prefecture, and each county was under the jurisdiction of a hundred households.

There are eight counties in Shaoxing, five counties in Qingyuan, and five counties in Taizhou, with a total of eighteen hundred-household offices.

Xu Zheng is in charge of a relatively large number of thousand-household offices, with a total of eighteen hundred households.

Normally, other thousand-household offices would manage about two prefectures and states, or about ten in total.

There was no way around it. Qingyuan Prefecture was a major and important prefecture. It was the place that the Song Emperor Zhao Yurui had outsourced to, and the local area was also developed, so they were in charge of so many things.

His position was also a lucrative one. Not to mention the shares Zhao Yurui gave him, just the tributes from each centurion, general flag, small flag, etc., amounted to nearly 200,000 a year.

With other miscellaneous income, he can earn up to 300,000 yuan a year.

"My position is quite lucrative, so I recommended Qi Shan, the centurion, to be the thousandth."

"Qishan is quite familiar with you. He can continue to look after you and recommend you as a centurion."

"But you have just been promoted to the general flag for less than a year, so I can't say for sure whether you will pass. However, you have done a good job as a minor flag and general flag, increasing revenue by millions a year. This is your achievement, and no one can compare to it."

Simply put, Xu Zheng was about to be promoted to the rank of Associate Governor, and he wanted Qi Shan to take over the rank of Thousand Household Member, and Zhao Yurui to take over the rank of Hundred Household Member, of Qi Shan.

The idea is good, but it will definitely pass.

The headquarters of Zhejiang Jinyiwei is in Lin'an, and the commander is Song Pengyu. The final appointment must be approved by Song Pengyu.

If Song Pengyu doesn't agree, everything will be in vain.

The head of the Zhejiang Jinyiwei was the commander-in-chief, and his deputies were two deputy commanders.

Xu Zheng is now the third in command in Zhejiang.

"Thank you for your favor, Mr. Xu. It doesn't matter whether I can be promoted or not. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future." Zhao Yurui thought that Xu Zheng was still young, only in his early forties, and there was still plenty of room for advancement. He was also young, only in his early twenties, so there was no need to rush.

"But there is an opportunity recently, you can try it." Xu Zheng stated the purpose of calling him here.

Three days later, Lord Yan returned home.

Who is Lord Yan?
His grandfather followed Emperor Zhao Yurui to start his career, and now the Sihai Bank in Dinghai belongs to the Yan family. Old Yan retired from the cabinet and lived in the capital.

But this time I want to go home to visit my relatives and see the descendants of the Yan family.

The Yan family has had many branches over the past few decades, and the one in Dinghai is not considered a direct relative.

When an important figure like Lord Yan returns to his hometown, the local government attaches great importance to it.

Song Pengyu seemed to have some relationship with the Yan family, and he specifically ordered the local Jinyiwei to pay special attention to their protection.

Xu Zheng had to wait until Lord Yan left Dinghai before he could report to Lin'an.

Xu Zheng planned to let Zhao Yurui bring people to protect Lord Yan, and at the same time cooperate with the local government and Lord Yan's own bodyguards.

If Zhao Yurui could show his face in front of Lord Yan and gain his favor, and if he said a word, Song Pengyu would definitely agree to promote him to a centurion.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yurui agreed immediately.

The next day after returning to Dinghai, he was called to the Dinghai County Government Office.

There were many people at the scene, including the chief constable Qi Wei and the son of Qi Shan, Zhao Yurui's immediate superior.

There were also many people who looked like outsiders. One of them was a woman, wearing a suit and looking dashing and heroic. She seemed to be the on-site supervisor.

Qi Wei used to look down on Zhao Yurui, but they have been getting along very well in the past two years. Zhao Yurui not only made their family rich, but also helped his father get promoted.

He glanced at Zhao Yurui, pulled Zhao Yurui aside, and whispered, "The woman's name is Yan Li, she's from the Imperial City Department of the imperial court."

"He is responsible for protecting cabinet-level officials and is a member of the Yan family."

Yan Li's official position was also an official in the Imperial City Department, and he was an eighth-rank official.

The official position was not high, but the power was heavy, and he was mainly responsible for the protection of cabinet members.

The key is that she is a member of the Yan family, so of course she is very attentive in protecting her boss.

She arrived in Dinghai two days in advance and told Lord Yan about his itinerary and precautions.

Lord Yan mainly returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors and visit the Yan family. He would go to the local Yan family ancestral tomb and the Yan family old house, and the last stop would be Sihai Bank.

The beginning is easy, as we are all in the wild and among our own people, but when you finally get to the bank, you have to be careful and alert.

"We planned to arrange extras for the day, and everyone present today pretended to be bank employees and customers."

"..." Zhao Yurui and Qi Wei looked at each other.

I didn’t expect that someone in the Yuan Dynasty would think of playing it this way?

At this time, someone raised his hand and said, "What if a real customer comes into the bank?"

"Don't let them in. We will have people outside to stop them."

Then Yan Li looked around and began to assign people.

At the end, Qi Wei was appointed as the bank lobby manager.

Qi Wei smiled immediately and was quite satisfied with this role.

"Your name is Zhao Yurui, right?"

"Yes." Zhao Yurui nodded.

“You’re the customer.”

"it is good."

Unexpectedly, Yan Li handed him a note with a lot of words written on it.

"Oh my gosh." Zhao Yurui took a look and found that there was indeed a plot.

The note asked him to act as a client and bring the bank pass from his grandfather's time. The pass was a bit torn, but of course it was also prepared in advance by the Imperial City Bureau.

The bank counter staff will not admit that it is broken. At this time, the customer manager will come over and say that although it is broken, our Sihai Bank admits it and you can still withdraw money.

Zhao Yurui expressed his gratitude profusely and praised Sihai Bank.

"Can we play it this way?" Qi Wei was also impressed.

When Lord Yan sees this, he will definitely be very happy and think that Sihai Bank is a good one.

Just to make the old man happy.

Yan Li also asked Zhao Yurui to look at the note more and memorize the lines on it, and Zhao Yurui agreed immediately.

Two days later, Lord Yan took a boat to Qingyuan Prefecture. He only stayed in Qingyuan Prefecture for a while in the morning and arrived in Dinghai in the afternoon.

Then we paid homage to our ancestors’ graves and then went back to the restaurant to rest.

Zhao and Rui followed throughout the process wearing masks and were asked to stay more than ten steps away from Lord Yan as much as possible.

The next day, Lord Yan went to the old house of the Yan family in the morning.

Zhao Yurui and Qi Wei were assigned to guard the west side of the courtyard, and there were also several Imperial City Administration personnel from the capital around them.

When Zhao Yurui saw them, his eyes rolled, and he took out a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes and handed one to each of them.

It was the first time for these people to see cigarettes and they were confused.

Although cigarettes had already spread to the capital at this time, they had not yet become popular.

Qi Wei's eyes lit up: "Hua Zi."

Huazi is still quite expensive in Dayuan, so get one quickly.

Several members of the Imperial City Bureau followed their lead and immediately narrowed their eyes.

"What is this? It's quite interesting."

"Cigarettes are a specialty of Dinghai. Let's each take a few back." Zhao Yurui said with a smile.

A few of them smoked and quickly became friends.

We were chatting happily when, with a creak, the side door not far away opened and someone walked out.

Several people were shocked because according to Lord Yan's schedule, this door would not be opened.

Yan Li ran out quickly and said that Lord Yan’s schedule had changed.

On the west side are the old fields of the Yan family. Originally, Lord Yan had no plan to see the fields, but for some reason, he suddenly wanted to see his own old fields.

The fields here were actually a bit barren, but a few days ago the county government sent people to pull out the weeds, clean up the area, and suddenly plant some rapeseed.

It was spring, and the rapeseed had grown tall, so they pulled it from other rapeseed fields and planted it temporarily.

If we get through today, we will all be dead if we look back.

Zhao Yurui was also astonished. They didn't expect that the level of fakery nowadays was comparable to that in later generations, where even rapeseed fields could be faked on the spur of the moment.

Yan Li asked Zhao Yurui and Qi Wei to stay away, because Zhao Yurui and Qi Wei were going to the bank to check on customers in the afternoon and they couldn't let the old man recognize them.

As soon as the two of them left, Lord Yan walked out from the west gate.

Someone helped Lord Yan to the edge of the field. Looking at the old man from his hometown, Lord Yan was filled with thoughts.

"When I was a kid, I also did farm work here. At that time, I planted sugarcane and made sugar. That was very profitable. The income from one acre of land was much more than the grain."

"Aren't we planting wheat now? Why are we still planting rapeseed?"

Yan Li and others were stunned by the question, and the local county magistrate Zheng Shiwen and a group of officials following behind them were also dumbfounded.

Why grow rapeseed? Because there was a rapeseed field nearby, so they transplanted the rapeseed from there.

In fact, wheat is mostly grown in Dinghai now, and wheat is considered a grain crop.

One of Zhao Yurui’s projects was to convert farmland into crops, as the imperial court was in great need of food.

There was silence at the scene and no one knew how to answer.

Yan Ge turned his head and looked at everyone, and everyone was avoiding his gaze.

"Uh, why don't you know why we are growing rapeseed?" Lord Yan was a little unhappy.

Yan Li looked anxious. She was from the capital city and had never done farm work, so she didn't know how to answer.

"Zheng Shiwen." Lord Yan suddenly called out the name of the local magistrate.

"Sir, I'm here." Zheng Shiwen stuttered, not knowing what to say.

"Don't you guys care about farming?" Elder Yan looked around and suddenly pointed at Zhao Yurui and Qi Wei in the distance: "Call those two people over."

Yan Li immediately groaned inwardly.
