Great Qing Dynasty talker

Chapter 127 Selling sheep’s heads for dog meat, tarnishing the noble title of foster father

Lijiapu,
Wei Jun stood solemnly, with his hands clasped in fists and a wide cowhide belt tied around his waist. He could not hide his toughness.

Life in the green forest trains people.

"Meet Mr. Li."

"Well, you're welcome. Tell the kitchen to make some delicious side dishes for Brother Wei."

"elder brother!"

"Shi'er."

When brother and sister meet, they are naturally a little more ecstatic.

Li Yu simply left the two of them behind to catch up on old times.

After half an hour,

Wei Jun came over and said polite words first:
"Thank you, Mr. Li, for always taking care of my sister."

"this is necessary."

"How are the folks in Qingyue Village doing?"

"Hahahaha, you live in a tile-roofed house, you are well fed and clothed, you don't have to thank me."

Wei Xiu, carrying the dishes with the cook,
Place it on the table and leave.

Only Wei Jun and Li Yu were left on the table, as well as two guards standing in the corner.

Wei Jun glanced casually from the corner of his eyes:
asked:

"Is Suzhou Prefecture not in peace lately?"

"Yeah, it was quite noisy."

Li Yu was looking at Wei Jun,

How a man is doing can be guessed based on his appearance.

Wei Jun, seems to be doing well.

"What's your current position in the cottage?"

"The third one."

Wei Jun said it without hesitation, without hesitation.

Still as bold and free as before.

However, he has a little more confidence and murderous intent.

A scar on the palm is new.

……

"Brother Wei, just say whatever you want? With our friendship, there is no need to be polite."

That said,

In fact, it is easy for people to think wrongly, at least Wei Jun thought wrongly.

The first time they met, he noticed that his sister Wei Xiu's hairstyle and decoration were different.

Wearing gold and silver, and wearing her hair in a woman's bun.

This was an absolute signal in the Qing Dynasty.

Passed by a pig!
However, don’t think about it, eldest lady.

"Qingfeng Village, I want to buy a batch of muskets."

Before Wei Jun died, Li Yu had presented three matchlock guns to him.

It seems that he has tasted the sweetness.

"Brother Wei, I have some experience with muskets, but I have to ask who you want to deal with after buying them?"

"The general troops of Southern Anhui have mobilized heavy troops and are preparing to crush Qingfeng Village."

"How many of you are there now?"

"200 people."

"Where are the weapons and equipment? Which officers and soldiers have you fought against?"

"Almost all are swords, spears, bows and arrows. I only fought against Huizhou Green Camp."

Wei Jun didn't lie.
When the Lord asks for people, he must have an attitude of asking for them.

he no longer speaks,
Eat food and wait for Li Yu's decision.

Selling some muskets to Qingfeng Village is nothing.

However, what he is worried about is that

A fire broke out at the other city gate, which affected Chiyu. When the time comes, an encirclement and suppression war will begin.

Wei Jun and his gang had driven away the Hu clan.

After all, the gentry naturally sided with the officers and soldiers.

That would be troublesome.

……

Mr. Hu is working as an aide to the Governor of Water Transport.

This person cannot be an enemy.

There are two reasons,

One is that he can intervene in water transportation.

The second one is that he is scheming and ruthless.

Li Yu was very afraid of this person.
If he falls out, Master Hu can ruin his own affairs.

Seeing that Li Yu had been deep in thought and silent, Wei Jun also lost his temper.

Actively asked:

"But are you worried that the secret will be leaked and the government will retaliate? My elder brother said that he will erase all traces and will never implicate the noble person."

"No. I never worried about that."

"That's the price? We pay cash, 20 taels per shot."

"Not at all."

This price is not lower than the black market price.

He was very sincere, but Li Yu's worries were still unsolved.

Wei Jun was a little annoyed, but he still endured it.

"Master Li, please clarify?"

"Why did the Wannan General Soldier suddenly want to deal with you guys?"

"Officers and soldiers are suppressing thieves. You don't need a reason."

"According to what you said, he mobilized the town sign, Chizhou camp, Guangde camp, plus the local Huizhou camp, and Minzhuang archers. How big a spectacle is this?"

Wei Jun was speechless,

It is indeed a bit overkill.

The siege of Qingfeng Village does not seem worthy of such a luxurious troop deployment.

Li Yu continued to ask:
"There are only two general soldiers in the entire Anhui. He mobilized almost two-thirds of the troops in southern Anhui to encircle and suppress your little Qingfeng Village. What exactly did you do?"

Wei Jun was also dumbfounded by this soul torture.

self-mumbling:

"We didn't do anything. We just stayed in the mountains and occasionally came down to rob caravans. The nearby towns collected protection fees."

"I do not believe."

……

Wei Jun was also anxious, stood up and swore to God:
"If I lie, I will die badly."

Li Yu waved his hand:
"Don't be impatient. I didn't say that I would not save you until death. Let's sort things out together."

"Since you came up the mountain, what has happened, what have you done, who have you made enemies with, which kilns have you smashed, and how many tickets have you torn up?"

"Eat and chat."

1 hours,
Li Yu mainly plays a listening role,

The head of Qingfeng Village is named Miao.

He was originally a military attaché in Guizhou Green Camp and a deserter from the Battle of Jinchuan.

The second boss is Changjin.

Jinchuan women, the two are desperate mandarin ducks.

He was rescued by a man named Miao on the way to escape.

It is entrenched in a mountain not far from Xin'an River in Huizhou Prefecture.

The surrounding area is sparsely populated.

"You don't rely on the Yangtze River?"

Li Yu remembered that the last time Liu Qian went with him, they took the Yangtze River waterway.

"From the Yangtze River route, we have to enter tributaries and river ditches, walk hundreds of miles of waterways, and dozens of miles of mountain roads before we reach Qingfeng Village."

"How far is it from the county seat?"

"A hundred miles away."

The more he asked, the less Li Yu understood.

What is the purpose of this, that the General Soldier of Southern Anhui has to work tirelessly to lead a small number of the province's green battalion troops to build a useless Qingfeng Village?
Are there gold mines in the mountains?

……

"I think you might as well change places?"

"I also suggested that Brother Miao do this. But he said he was reluctant to part with the foundation he had built."

Phew, Li Yu couldn't help laughing.

A bandit, what kind of foundation is he talking about?

"Ahem, I'm serious. You can keep the green hills and don't have to worry about running out of firewood. Change the mountain and still build the village. If it doesn't work, I'll choose a place for you? Around Taihu Lake, there are many rich people. Changxing, the capital of Huzhou The county is a good place, the feng shui is good, and the people are nice. The most important thing is that the stolen goods are sold to me, and I am responsible for the food, and I deliver it to your door via the Taihu Lake route."

Li Yu kept talking more and more, because this suggestion was really good.

Arrange an army of bandits who can exert influence in Changxing County.

Provide supplies in exchange for limited cooperation.

After seizing the Changxing Coal Mine in this way,
He didn't worry about the government at all, and was interested in coveting it with the local gentry.

Even, a mine protection team can be publicly trained.

Deal with banditry!

However, it was Wei Jun's turn to be in trouble.

He hesitated for a long time before telling the truth:

"Actually, I personally agree with it, and the second master probably also agrees."

"But the boss is so obsessed that he is bewitched by a woman."

Li Yu looked shocked,
What’s all this mess? He quickly asked:
"Are you kidding me?"

"I swear to God, every word I, Wei Jun, said is the truth."

"Then tell me, what kind of woman?"

"A month ago, the village kidnapped a passing woman. She looks like a fairy, especially her eyes that cannot be looked directly at."

Li Yu suddenly became interested:

"What will happen if you look directly at it? Will it turn into stone?"

"That's not true. I just can't stand it and am out of control."

"So evil?"

"Yes, three brothers have lost control of the school and been killed by Brother Miao."

……

Hiss, that’s interesting.

"Continue talking? Don't break the chapter. This is a very bad habit."

"She became Brother Miao's wife, and she was very favored. In fact, the second head of the family almost ran away from the village because of this."

"Speak the key."

"She knows divination and says that Qingfeng Village is Brother Miao's place of Longxing."

"and then?"

"Then, Brother Miao listened to her and decided to defend the Longxing Land."

"Why do I think she is a spy sent by the government?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. She also sold her dowry to buy knives and guns for the brothers in the village."

Speaking of this, Li Yu suddenly felt a chill on his back.

Staring at Wei Jun and asked:

"Is this woman also the one who inquired about the encirclement and suppression by officers and soldiers?"

"Yes, yes."

"Every one of you in Qingfeng Village is considered a pig."

Wei Jun's face turned red and he argued:

"The Shanzhai had an informant in the town. The informant risked his life to deliver the information. He died on the way. It was the woman who discovered the body and then found the information."

Li Yu sneered:

"I thought you had broken the sky, attacked Anqing, and provoked the Wannan General Soldier to treat such a giant Buddha."

"It turns out that he was tricked around by a woman of unknown origin."

"The soldiers are pressing down on the territory, it's nothing."

"The suggestion to buy muskets was also made by that woman, right?"

Wei Jun was already stunned:

"Yes."……

Li Yu's inference is generally correct.

This is a meat ticket delivered to your door.

After defeating the Huizhou Green Camp but being unilaterally declared a "great victory" by the Huizhou government,

Qingfeng Village has not even been attacked once in the county seat.

Very low-key,

They just rob caravans and collect protection fees from nearby villages and towns.

Such a cooperative, low-key gangster.

The officers and soldiers took the wrong medicine and went to encircle and suppress them.

The commander-in-chief of Wannan, even if he goes to the theater every day,

It's impossible to do such a thing.

but,

Li Yu suddenly realized a serious problem:

"Who was the first person to suggest that I buy firearms?"

"It's that woman."

"you sure?"

"When we were in the stockade, she pointed at my musket and said that if all the brothers in the stockade had one, they could run rampant in southern Anhui. She also said that if the funds were not enough, she had a small box of jewelry that could be sold."

Li Yu felt cold all over.

stand up:
"Li Xiaowu. Come in."

……

A few people rode fast horses and left in a hurry.

They were notified separately, Liu Qian, the head of the intelligence organization, Du Ren, the general head of Xishan Island, and Yang Yunjiao, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Inside, there may be spies from unknown forces.

It's not the Qing court, and the camp is unknown.

Li Yu left in a hurry,

Wei Jun and his sister Wei Xiu were left behind to eat slowly.

However, Wei Jun, who realized that he had been tricked,
I also lost my appetite.

He wanted to rush back as soon as possible and tell Brother Miao.

But he was stopped by the guard at the door:
"Master said, don't be impatient even if the sky falls. Just wait. You have to wait until he finishes the meeting."

Wei Jun looked at the guard with his hand on the handle of the knife.

There were two little boys behind them with muskets on their backs, staring at him.

sighed,

Go back to the house, close the door,

"Brother, don't worry. Mr. Li is very kind to me and the villagers. He is a good man."

Wei Jun said nothing.
I thought to myself, if he were to be considered a good person, then everyone in the Qing Dynasty would be good people.

……

evening,

Li Yu called Wei Jun and whispered:

"I'll give you a suggestion. When you go back, join forces with the second master to kill this woman."

"Brother Miao will definitely not agree."

"So, you have to get the second master to kill him first and then show him off."

Wei Jun was silent, he knew it was the right thing to do,

But from the point of view of loyalty, I can’t help my eldest brother.

Li Yu saw it and continued to analyze:

"If we keep this girl, all of your brothers in the village, No. 200, will die without a burial place. You can tell the second master what I say, and then let her decide whether to take action."

"Master Li, do you want to sell the muskets?"

"Only after you have solved the internal hidden dangers will I dare to sell it to you, at the price you mentioned."

……

Wei Jun didn't have any better ideas for a while.

That was all we could do. We took the two complimentary matchlock guns and headed back.

I have short hands to take people and a soft mouth to eat people. I don’t have the nerve to ask my sister if this cabbage was fucked by you.

Li Yu watched him leave,

I have already made some speculations about the fate of Qingfeng Village.

As long as the second boss, Changjin knows,
She will definitely take action and kill that woman.

Whether it's to defend love or the future of the village.

If she is not a Jinchuan woman,

Li Yu didn't have much confidence.

One can imagine the bloody nature of a tribe that was able to engage in a tug-of-war with the Qing army for decades.

Changjin,

I'm afraid that if he would rather die, he would kill the unknown Su Daji first.

Li Yu stood outside the fort, lost in thought.

There are just a few endings.

Su Daji died, Qingfeng Village started internal strife and then disbanded.

After Su Daji died, Miao Dajia realized his mistake and continued to be a bandit in the local area without moving.

Su Daji died. The third master and the second master jointly killed the stubborn master, and then broke up camp to defect to him.

……

Wei Jun is right about one thing,
If Li Yu is a good person, then there are really few bad guys in the Qing Dynasty.

The arrests in Fucheng became more and more intense.

The jail cells have vacated some of the previously insignificant prisoners to welcome the more arrogant "thought prisoners."

Yan Jiansheng went in.

Magistrate Zhenze, perhaps to show his good will, made the case a solid case.

There are not only human witnesses, but also physical evidence,

There are even personal testimonials from Yan’s housekeeper and concubine.

"Yan Jiansheng made arrogant comments about the imperial court's decision to build a city in Suzhou. His words were rude and treasonous. He has no king and no father. It was also found out that this person had concealed 230 acres of land and evaded taxes."

"The execution will be executed. The male members of the family will be executed and served in prison. The rest will not be official slaves."

Xishi, that is, the unlisted Jiaofangsi.

Suddenly there are many new things.

this time,

Li Yu also quietly took action and locked some of the gentry's family members in advance through Huang Si.

Because the imbalance between men and women under his command is too serious.

He cannot give everyone a home, but he can give him a temporary home.

About half an hour's temporary.

In addition to inspiring military morale,
There is also a hidden effect, which is to dispel these people's fear of the official gentry group.

Conducive to cultivating the spirit of rebellion.

It has a similar meaning to the money that was used to defraud Qianlong last time.

it's important

What was broken was not just a layer of window paper, but the awe of the imperial power.

Let those who kneel stand up.

……

The confiscated property,
According to the agreement, one-third went to the imperial court.

When the head catcher Huang Si came, he still knelt down on one knee respectfully and saluted:
"Master Li is auspicious."

"Sit down and drink tea."

Huang Si, who was holding a tea bowl, came to report the progress:
"The master of the palace is very dissatisfied. The portion turned over to the court is only over 2 taels."

"It's a bit lacking. There's so much movement and so little harvest."

"what do you mean?"

"Don't be in a hurry, do things slowly, and eat in one bite."

"Little one understands."

"Oh, what do you understand?"

"After all the anti-Qing elements are caught, we can then investigate our own people and eliminate the dissidents."

Li Yu stared at Huang Si,

It took a while before he finally said, "I'm just trying to catch the boss. I'm wronging you."

"The little one is already content."

"No, I think that in the next few days, there will definitely be many vacancies in the nine counties and one hall of Suzhou Prefecture. When the time comes, I will recommend you to the position."

Huang Si was overjoyed.

He knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, Master, for cultivating me."

Li Yu raised his head in the air,
As if he had the power to cultivate immortality, Huang Si slowly stood up.

"how old are you?"

"28."

"Have you ever been married?"

"I dare not hide it from the master. My wife died a few years ago, and this year I found a younger one. I have no name, no status, and no wine business."

"Shall I find one for you?"

"But it's up to the master to decide."

……

Li Yu watched Huang Si leave,

Marriage, which refers to marriage, is an ancient and effective method.

I don’t have a cousin group, so I can only propose marriage!
Fan Jing, Liu Wu, Lai Er and others arranged their marriages themselves.

Hu guerrillas, barely.

Li Yu was definitely not bored, but out of rebellion.

Fan Jing's marriage tied up the Fan family and determined the Fan family property in advance.

Liu Wu's marriage tied up the Kuai shipwright clan who were good at shipbuilding.

Laiji's marriage added an invisible layer of eavesdropping insurance.

Huang Si's loyalty has been tested.

With such a talent, it is natural to help him get on the horse and win over people's hearts.

Fang hates it when the book is used, and so does my cousin.

Li Yu thought a lot and couldn't think of a suitable candidate.

Yang Yunjiao listened:
"Master, why are you so troubled? I have a plan."

"Speak quickly."

"You first find a few suitable girls, and then you adopt them as adopted sisters. Then you propose marriage."

Li Yu slapped his forehead, wonderful!
The ancients recognized this relationship very much: adopted son, adopted sister, adopted daughter.

Not inferior to cousins.

I am bound by the thinking of future generations,

The fat-bellied rich men took a group of young women as their daughters and sold them as dogs, which tarnished the noble title of foster father!

"Hu Youyi's concubine has a cousin who is 15 years old, literate and knows etiquette."

"What about family history?"

"The family is a small scholar, has produced scholars, and has 200 acres of paddy fields."

"Okay, let Mrs. Wang handle this matter."

……

Hu Youyi's concubine agreed upon hearing this.

Because she is raising a baby, it is not suitable to travel.

So I wrote a handwritten letter and asked the maid next to me to deliver the letter.

There is also the instigation of Wang Po,
This happened very quickly and was very lively.

Li Yu also sent a generous gift,
Huang Si was extremely grateful and repeatedly said that the master treated him too well.

The excitement of a mere marriage,

It cannot dilute the gloom in Fucheng.

The police officers were hunting down anti-Qing and anti-Manchu elements everywhere, and everyone was in danger.

Under Li Yu’s instruction,
In the Fucheng section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, all owners and shareholders of all docks were arrested.
