Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 477 Why Come to Yantou Town
"Master Lu, Yu Shuangshi got up very late today, and found a place to eat and drink outside until noon, and then he was in the Qin Pavilion again. The younger one has already taken shifts with others."

In Shuntian Mansion's general judge Lu Wancai's duty room, an officer reported somewhere, and Lu Wancai nodded with a sullen face, and said:

"You and Xiao Wu will go out of the city to rest at a relative's house for a few days after completing this errand, and the salary will be paid, so I understand."

The guard hurriedly bowed and said:
"Please don't worry, my lord. The little one understands that only the two little brothers are in charge of this matter."

Lu Wancai casually took out a silver pick from his waist pocket and threw it over, the guard caught it and retreated with a smile on his face.

***********
When it was dark, the gates of the palace were closed, and Zou Yi, one of the three principals of the Department of Public Security, was naturally unable to come out. In the private room of the private courtyard in Zhenxing Building on South Street, only Li Wenyuan and Lu Wancai were discussing.

There were a few seasonal side dishes carefully arranged on the table, but the two of them didn't have the heart to eat them at all, so Lu Wancai said there:

"Shuntian Mansion has found a few people to watch. Yu Shuangshi is a drunk and lustful person. He doesn't seem to have anything else to do in his daily life except for pleasure and entertainment. Moreover, he has no acquaintances in the capital. It was the day before yesterday. The person who came to see him, what did Brother Li find out?"

Li Wenyuan also shook his head, and said in a deep voice:

"I sent someone to follow up, but the family just moved in recently, and the neighbors around me don't know each other, but they look rich and rich, and there are always cars and horses coming and going."

Seeing the worried look on Lu Wancai's face, Li Wenyuan couldn't help but say:
"Master Lu doesn't need to be like this. The security department has eyes and ears all over the city. As long as we keep an eye on him, unless he doesn't make any mistakes, there will be some clues..."

Lu Wancai waved his hand and said:
"Brother is not thinking about this. This is the second time that your lord has been assassinated. Since your lord was in the capital, it seems that someone has been targeting him, and this person is not known to us... Maybe I think too much, but these days I always I think of Jiang Zhonggao, think about it, his death is a bit strange..."

Jiang Zhonggao, who used to be an errand in the imperial dining room, was the prodigy who had never forgotten the people in the palace. After clearing out the hidden piles hidden in the palace by the Sanyang Society, he got the position of a young prisoner, who was in charge of South Street, but he got the job. Died of sudden illness.

*************
After passing through Dezhou, Dong Chuangxi was still thinking about how Wang Tong asked the name of the person who built the iron tower.

The iron tower is built by the landlord of Jinan Prefecture and the Lizheng of Yantou Town. The local Lizheng is responsible for collecting corvee taxes. If the payment is not enough, he has to pay in advance by himself. If you lose your family and property, you are all afraid of it.

But this iron tower is different. When he was doing Lizheng, his family had only [-] mu of dry land, but after one year of doing Lizheng, his family already had [-] mu of irrigated land... By now, it is counted among Jinan Prefectures. Landlord.

Yantou Town relies on the Daqing River, is irrigated by water sources, and has the advantages of trade in the north and east of Jinan Prefecture. There are very few officials in the Jinan Mansion looking at this big profit, but no one is willing to collect taxes, and none of them are willing to cause that trouble.

Since the iron tower was erected, the taxes paid to Jinan Prefecture every year are full, and the tribute to all aspects has never been a lot. This is greatly appreciated. It is said that the magistrate ordered the construction of the iron tower in the government office. Yazhong fills in Ma Kuai's vacancy, so he can be regarded as an official member of the government.

The family business is getting bigger and bigger, but this iron tower is not arrogant, but more humble. Not to mention the great good deeds in Yantou Town, the tribute to the above is also a lot.

But slowly, there are fewer and fewer stores in Yantou Town that can pay taxes, and the government's tax amount for Yantou Township is getting lower and lower every year. No one has noticed this.

Dong Chuangxi is a Jinyiwei Qianhu in Shandong, and he is still very well informed. Gai Iron Tower colluded with the officials of Jinan Prefecture to drive out those who were doing business in Yantou Town, privately embezzled these properties, and bought them at a low price. He also knows that he doesn't have to pay taxes on the good land, and then falsifies it on the acre inventory.

Although the taxes paid to Daming are getting less and less, the officials in charge of the Jinan government all have dry shares in the industry that builds the iron tower to pay dividends. Naturally, everyone is willing, because the management is good, and there is no inventory of the world's fields in the past few years. Spread to this tower.

Although Dong Chuangxi knew that it was tricky, he himself also took advantage of the construction of the iron tower. The two parties did business in partnership, so they naturally turned a blind eye.

Those who built the iron tower were those who had property, and the local people did not interfere. He usually used small favors to win over people, and he came and went again and again, and he actually got the title of "Building a good man".

Such a person may be well-known in Jinan Prefecture, but in Shandong Province, in Beizhili, it is nothing at all, how does Wang Tong know.

***********
After passing Dezhou, take the official roads of Pingyuan County and Yucheng County, all the way to the southeast, and you will reach Jinan City. On the official road ten miles away from Jinan City, Wang Tong and his party did not enter the city, but took a fork in the east.

Dong Chuangxi couldn't figure out what to do if he didn't enter the city and went east, the towering city walls were in front of him, but Wang Tong was his only life-saving straw now, and he could only follow what the other party did.

After arriving at the destination, Dong Chuangxi probably understood why Wang Tong asked him to build the iron tower, because the destination was not Jinan City, but Yantou Town.

It is not right to say that it is Yantou Town. There is a depression about five miles away from Yantou Town. People and horses are parked in it, and the people in the town can't see it at all.

However, in the summer depression, where the Daqing River flows, there are reeds as high as a person everywhere, and there are so many mosquitoes that bite people and horses quite uncomfortable, so they can only stand next to each other there. If people outside don't walk in, they really can't see the people hiding inside.

After Dong Chuangxi was nailed several bags by mosquitoes, he finally couldn't bear it any longer, walked up to Wang Tong quickly, and asked angrily:

"Lord Wang, Mr. Dong's family is in Jinan City. What are you doing here in Yantou Town? It's already the third day of August. If you can't take care of this matter, let Dong go back and fight to the death with this group of thieves! !"

What Dong Chuangxi said was impassioned. Wang Tong, who was looking at Yantou Town, just glanced at him and said coldly:

"If you have the ability to dissipate your family's wealth, why bother to go to the capital and go to Tianjin Wei to ask for help? I have come to Shandong, so I have to keep your family safe and worry-free. First, do the rewriting well and think about what you want to do. Go through it again, don't make mistakes when the time comes."

"But Mr. Wang, Dong's family is in Jinan City, not in Yantou Town. The things you told me are all finishing touches. Nothing has been done yet, so how..."

"After tonight, you should finish it."

Wang Tong replied casually. At this time, he heard the sound of singing outside the depression. The people who were sitting there and resting stood up. Wang Tong waved to one side, and several soldiers nodded and stood up, bowing their heads Trotted out.

Dong Chuangxi was extremely anxious, but he didn't dare to take a step away from Wang Tong. He and the gangsters of the Wu family were terrified, how could he have the courage to go all out, took a piece of leather from the horse and put it on the ground, and sat down dejectedly. Going down, turning around to look, only to find that a few trees on the edge of the depression have been cut down, and the soldiers are cutting around. Is it necessary to light a fire for cooking...

From the beginning to the end, he didn't think about how Wang Tong, a man from Tianjin Wei, could find such a hiding place in the unfamiliar Yantou Town.

**************
"The little one got news of Uncle Bao Danwen, so he just came here, who are some good guys!?"

When the man singing outside the depression was wandering east and west, he was suddenly pushed down to the ground and dragged into the depression before he had time to struggle.

When he realized it, there were strong and strong men in blue and black cloth clothes in front of him. Although the man who sang the song didn't know who the other party was, he probably sensed the murderous aura from these people and hurriedly opened his mouth to report his intentions.

Wang Tong glanced at the white handkerchief on the man's left arm, everything was correct, then nodded, put the man up, and asked:
"Is everything ready in the town and the house?"

"It's all good. Since Uncle Bao promised to bring Qi brothers to make a fortune together, these things must be done properly. The younger ones will stay here, and the younger ones will lead the way at night. If there is anything wrong, everyone will cut it first. Go to the head of the villain."

Wang Tong smiled, took out a golden scorpion, patted the man's palm, and said:
"Let's rest first, after the matter is done, there are still benefits for you!!"

The man's waist was almost bent to the ground, when he picked up the gold handle and looked at it, his eyes suddenly widened, it turned out to be gold, this group of people are really rich.

Wang Tong really didn't expect that Bao Danwen was just a salt lord, and there were so many means of relationship between the people in Beizhili and Shandong. There were people leading the way along the way. When he was in Yucheng County, someone came to inform Yantou Town Where can people hide? In this grassroots market, there is such a power.

*************
As night fell, Yantou Town was bustling, but it was just a town after all, and after a short period of noise, it gradually became quiet.

Wang Tong, who was ready to go, stood on the edge of the depression, looking in the direction of the town. There were earth walls and deep ditches around the town to guard against bandits, and Zhuang Dingxiang Yong was on duty in the middle of the night, and the lights were lit by wind lanterns.

In this direction, the wind lamp can be seen shaking a few times, and the man who came over during the day turned around and said:

"Okay!!"

"Go forward, the noisers will be cut!!"

Wang Tong gave an order in a low voice, and everyone got on their horses and began to set off in the direction of Yantou Town.

……

After a few whistles, the gate of the suspension bridge village on the west side of Yantou Town was slowly lowered, and heavily armed soldiers rushed in... The dogs in the town barked crazily.
