Chapter 214 A false alarm

"We are Zhang Gou Sema, Wu Xun Wang Jian—the four masters of Linqing! Blessings are shared, difficulties are shared, wine is drunk together, money is gambling together, fights are fought together, and we don't want to be born in the same year, the same month, and the same day. , but ask for whoring on the same day, same month, same year!"

Ever since Young Master Zhang betrayed the Four Evil Young Masters of Linqing and sneaked to the capital to participate in the test, several years later, the Four Evil Young Masters of Linqing suddenly made a high-level appearance again, scaring Fan Yongdou and Huang Yunlong five locust merchants at once. stunned.After settling down to analyze and calculate for a long time, Fan Yongdou raised his head again, staring at Young Master Zhang with golden fish eyes, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Zhang Haogu, I don't want to say anything else, I just want to ask You have something to do, I hope you can answer me honestly."

"Do you want to ask, did I let these three good friends who wore open crotch pants come to Zhangjiakou as an undercover agent in the name of doing business two years ago?" Young Master Zhang habitually showed off his good tricks— — That is, the bad habit of being good at capturing other people's minds.

Fan Yongdou nodded, gritted his teeth and said, "That's right, since Wu Erhua and Ma Jun, the two living treasures, and Wang Binghong, a scumbag traitor among Shanxi businessmen, are your friends in Linqing, then they come to Zhangjiakou to do business and exchange their time for us." Is it your instigation? Did you plan to deal with us two years ago? Want to deal with us?"

"You guessed it right. They came to Zhangjiakou under the pretext of doing business two years ago with my secret orders. While exchanging time for your trust, they secretly collected eight of you traitors who colluded with slavery and betrayed the country. Rong's evidence!" Young Master Zhang nodded happily, and added: "It's not just them? There is also the small shop that is holding you with a knife. In fact, it is also my first servant in the capital. It once helped me detect Wang Huazhen. Two years ago, I sent him to Zhangjiakou again in order to put eyeliner next to you, and entered your tea shop as a boy. On the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month last year, he found me in Zhangjiakou in disguise and made a private visit. In fact, I deliberately played a play with him in order to let him gain your trust and spy on more confidential information!"

Speaking of this, Young Master Zhang let out a smirk, and beckoned to Dongchang Fan to take Ning Wanme to his side, grabbed Ning Wanmy's gray beard and pulled it violently, and pulled Ning Wanmy's beard with fur and skin Tear off a piece.After Ning finished slaughtering a pig and screamed, Young Master Zhang said with a happy smile: "It's just that I never thought that the fishing net that I and the small shop teamed up to cast would catch such a big fish - if it wasn't for the small shop relying on How could I know that my old bastard, Ning Wan, one of the three traitors in Liaodong, also came to Zhangjiakou after I found out that I was credited with my private visits and entered your house in Zhangjiakou as a personal attendant?"

"Amazing, really amazing!" Fan Yongdou shook his head and sighed, gritted his teeth and said, "I understand, I understand everything. First, you deliberately supported the companies of Ma Jun and Wu Erhua, the two treasures, and forced the companies of the old men to join forces with theirs. , and through Wang Binghong, a scum from Shanxi, let us know about your capital movements, and know that Wei Laogou is still standing behind you..., ah——!"

Speaking of this, Fan Yongdou let out a scream. It turned out that Lai Pihe, the head of Dongchang, who was disguised as Wu Ershao's shop assistant, heard Fan Yongdou insulting Wei Zhongxian, and angrily kicked Fan Yongdou in the lower abdomen.Fan Yongdou spit out a mouthful of bloody saliva, ignored Lai Pihe's snarl, just panted and continued: "You let us know that there is old eunuch Wei standing behind you, because you want us to think that you are doing it for Wei old eunuch. To make money, you deliberately supported Ma Jun and Wu Erhua, two treasure companies, to dispel our vigilance, and induced us to join hands with these two t In the palm of your hand? You used your own wedding date as a bait to deliberately let Wang Binghong reveal that your wedding date is today, luring us to ship a large amount of goods today, and you suddenly led the army out to catch us and get the stolen goods? Right? ?”

"Shopkeeper Fan Da, you are indeed a treacherous and cunning man, you can get it right!" Young Master Zhang nodded repeatedly, and then smiled: "But unfortunately, it is already too late, now you are going to sell the 30 shi of grain to Jiannu, 20 catties of pig iron, [-] catties of private salt, [-] catties of private tea, and countless cloth, cotton, and weapons have all been stolen by the governor. It’s already too late for some details.” At this point, Young Master Zhang said darkly: “Let’s not talk about the account books of your past business dealings with Jiannu, which have been seized by the governor just now. The confiscated stolen goods and the capture of Ning Wanme are enough to kill all eight of your families! And you can also kill all eight of your families three times, more than enough!"

"Excellent, it's no wonder Sibeile, such a wise and wise hero, has been defeated by you more than once! Your series of tricks are really dazzling, and the old men are hard to guard against, and they stepped into your trap without knowing it. A trap, never to be recovered." Fan Yongdou sighed and shook his head, he was frightened by Young Master Zhang's insidious methods, but at the same time he admired him all over the place.After taking another sinister look at the four villains of Linqing, Fan Yongdou gasped and said, "Zhang Haogu, I'm asking you the last question—why did you plan to deal with us two years ago? Just send an undercover agent to Zhangjiakou to lurk?"

"Also, if the old man remembers correctly." Fan Yongdou added: "Ma Jun and Wu Erhua, the two living treasures, and Wang Binghong, the scum of a Shanxi businessman, were before the old man and Wang Dengku went to Jizhou to smuggle new muskets. I have been lurking in Zhangjiakou as an undercover agent. Before that, I only had a pleasant meeting with you in Songjiang Mansion, and you have never set foot in Zhangjiakou, and you have never had any contact with our eight companies. At that time, you are going to attack the eight families of the old men? Do you have the ability to predict the future? "

"I don't have any ability to predict." Young Master Zhang shook his head and said with a smile: "The reason why I decided to attack you at that time and sent my good brother to you as an undercover agent is because of a sack of sackcloth grain!" Beckoning, Xiao Chuan in the Ming army understood, and quickly took out the sackcloth grain bag that caused countless tragedies, and asked Fan Yongdou with a smile: "Master Fan, do you still know this ration bag? To tell you the truth, let me tell you the truth. Brother Zhang knows that it is this ration bag that you have colluded with to build slaves and betray the country for glory!"

"This is the ration bag?" Fan Yongdou was dumbfounded, and asked in surprise, "What's wrong with this ration bag?"

"Shopkeeper Fan, do you still remember the scene when we first met in Songjiang Mansion?" Young Master Zhang took the grain bag and showed Fan Yongdou the small word 'Ancient' written in cinnabar at the corner of the grain bag, with a dark tone. Yin said: "At that time, your company happened to be transporting a large amount of grain out of the city. At that time, the governor, as the imperial envoy to raise funds for disaster relief, mistakenly thought that you were hoarding grain on purpose and raising the price of grain to undermine the governor's disaster relief operations. Let Second Brother Xiao seize the opportunity and make this note on several ration bags. But what Bendu never dreamed of at the time was that after half a year, after Bendu personally led the army to break through the puppet capital Shengjing, which was established as a slave. The grain bags with the marks on their mouths actually appeared in the granaries of Jianshou Puppet Capital, and were accidentally seen by the governor!"

"Fan Yongdou, now you should understand why the Governor decided to attack you two years ago, right?" Young Master Zhang asked in a cold tone.Fan Yongdou was dumbfounded at first, but after a long time, Fan Yongdou opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, wailing, "God kills me! God kills me——!"

"Fan Yongdou!" Young Master Zhang suddenly raised his voice and roared, "It's not the heavens who want to kill you! It's the unjust souls of the millions of Han people in Liaodong who were massacred by Jiannu! And the blessings of the spirits of the Ming soldiers who sacrificed to defend Liaodong made me The governor saw this ration bag! Fan Yongdou, you have aided the tyrant, betrayed the country and sought glory, and the retribution has arrived——!"

Fan Yongdou's body shook, like a deflated ball, he slumped on the ground weakly, and the feces and urine in his crotch spewed out uncontrollably...

"Put it down!" Young Master Zhang waved his hand in disgust, and shouted: "Take strict care and don't let them commit suicide! The governor wants to send them to the capital, and execute them lingeringly in front of the Han people all over the world. Jiannu massacred the people of Liaodong Daming who were poisoned and revenged! Let the whole world see what it will be like to be a traitor!"

Xiao Chuan, the boss of Dongchang Jinyiwei who was in charge of assisting Young Master Zhang in escorting the criminals back to Beijing, cupped his hands and waved without saying a word. Twenty or so guards who had been carefully selected from Dongchang started immediately, killing all five of them. The locust merchant who peed on his crotch mentioned it, put on heavy shackles and stuffed them into the prison car that had been prepared. By the way, he stuffed a nutmeg into each of their mouths to prevent them from biting their tongues and committing suicide.When he finally went to catch me, this old man, one of the three major traitors in Liaodong, suddenly laughed, "Hahahahaha... Okay, Zhang Haogu, little barbarian, I fell into your hands today." But it doesn't matter, someone will be buried with me, the old man will not be lonely on the road to Huangquan."

"Old bastard, what do you mean by that?" Young Master Zhang waved his hand to stop the Dongchang officer from going to Saining to finish my sentence, and asked bluntly, "Who is accompanying you on the road to Huangquan?"

"Your wife who has never been married, Mei Qingyun!" Ning Wanwo smiled even more ferociously, and said full of hatred: "To tell you the truth, this time it is not only me who came to your barbarian Mingguo, but also that old man Fan Wencheng. , you deceived us with a fake marriage date, which not only deceived us, but also harmed yourself——Fan Wencheng is in Yanghe now, and he brought a few good men personally sent by Dajin Dahan to protect us! Originally, we The purpose is to assassinate you and kill your wife by the way. Now that you have come to Zhangjiakou, your unmarried wife will have no one to protect. Fan Wencheng's people will have a better chance to kill your wife! "

"Qing Yun—!" Young Master Zhang, who owed Mei Qingyun, screamed, pulled the horse and jumped on it, trying to rush back to the sun overnight to stop it, but when he just grabbed the reins, Young Master Zhang let it go slowly. down.After Ning Wan, I saw what Young Master Zhang was thinking, and laughed wildly: "Hahahaha, Zhang Haogu, little man, little mad dog, it's too late, right? Even if you have wings now, it's too late to go back and protect your wife, right?" ?Even if you send someone to ride the best horse back to report the news, it will be too late anyway? Hahahaha, I would rather I can drag your little savage wife down to hell with her, even if she died, it would be worth it— —!”

"Hit me! Hit me hard!" Young Master Zhang jumped off his horse like crazy again, raised the whip, and frantically beat Ning Wan me on the face and body.Over there, Xiao Chuan, Wu Ershao and the others were also furious, and rushed forward together, punching and kicking Ning Wanwo until the old man was beaten up until his nose was bruised, his body was broken, and he was rolling all over the ground. But he vomited blood and laughed wildly, "Hahahaha, Dahan, Sibeile, after Ning Wan, I finally made a contribution to you—! Hahahahaha——! Long live Da Jin, Long live Da Khan! Kill all the Han people, kill all the barbarians——!"

When Xiao Chuan and Wu Ershao broke Ning Wan's legs and leg bones, Ning Wan and I finally passed out from the pain, the crazy laughter disappeared without a trace, and Young Master Zhang gradually calmed down When I got down, I waved my hand to stop everyone from beating Ning Wan me, and then shouted: "Put this old bastard down, find the best doctor to heal his wounds, and after he recovers, use Dongchang's torture to slowly deal with him. , I want him to scream for 49 days before he dies, not even one less day!" After drinking, Master Zhang pulled Zhang Shitou in front of him, and shouted with a livid face: "Shitou, good brother, you ride the best bike!" Horse, go back to Yanghe immediately! Whether you can make it in time or not, report back to me!" Zhang Shitou didn't dare to hesitate, he jumped on the horse with his hands clasped, and led several rotating horses, and rode the whip against the wind and snow all night Rush back to Yanghe.

Because Ning Wan and my words washed away the joy of Young Master Zhang who wiped out all the branches and branches of the eight major locust merchants, and completely angered Young Master Zhang. That night, Ning Wan and I brought Zhangjiakou All the entourage, except for Ning Wan and me, were skinned alive by Young Master Zhang, put human skin into thatch, and hung them on the wall of Zhangjiakou to warn the world. Those who were skinned together were all the eight locust merchants. A son, and he was executed in front of Fan Yongdou and other locust merchants.Seeing the human skins of the sons being tanned on the spot, stuffed into thatch, and hung on the wall of Zhangjiakou for public display, the sons turned into blood men were still rolling and wailing in the snow, unable to breathe for a while, the eight locust merchants once again Incontinence of urine and urine at the same time, crying and cursing frantically: "Zhang Haogu, you will die! You will die! You will die—!"

"Even if I have to die badly, I will take all the slaves and traitors from all over the world to be buried with me!" Young Master Zhang's eyes were bloodshot, and he roared even more frantically: "If my Qing Yun loses a single hair, I will kill all of them!" The slaves of the world, smash them all to pieces, smash their bones into ashes!"

………………

Although the eight major locust merchants have many employees, few of them are truly capable of fighting. Usually they bully and bully small and medium-sized merchants so-so. The thief has no leader, so in less than an hour, the buddies of the eight major locust merchants were all killed, and the remaining ordinary civilians and grooms all knelt down and surrendered. A large number of prohibited materials in Liaodong has naturally become the spoils and military supplies of Young Master Zhang's army.But despite the rich harvest, Young Master Zhang is still frowning, regretting that he did not strengthen the protection of Mei Qingyun when he left Yanghe, so that now he can only resign himself to fate and pray that those who are still competent to protect Mei Qingyun will be thorough.

Despite being extremely worried and anxious, but in the afternoon of the second day, after the initial statistics of the industries of the eight major locust merchants in Zhangjiakou, Young Master Zhang was still taken aback—only in Zhangjiakou, the eight major locust merchants The total assets exceeded 140 million taels, equivalent to one-third of the annual financial revenue of the Ming treasury!And after taking a cursory look at the account books of the Eight Great Locust Merchants that were confiscated, Young Master Zhang’s anger rushed to Tianling again—before Jiannu Nu’erhachi openly rebelled against Ming Dynasty in the 46th year of Wanli, the Eight Great Locust Merchants had already negotiated with Jian Slaves came and went closely. Judging from the arms sales records, the eight major locust merchants not only secretly supported Jianshou to win the battles of Sarhu, Shenyang, and Guangning, but also sold a large number of weapons to each other before the start of the battle. Sent to the Jiannu army, in other words, the eight major locust merchants probably provided the Jiannu army with vital secret military information, and indirectly helped Jiannu win these few battles related to the Jiannu people's movement!

"Dog traitor, wait until we get to the capital, let's see how I deal with you!" With a curse, he threw the ledger back on the table, and the very anxious Young Master Zhang stood up, circling around the room with his hands behind his back, his mind tumbling. What moved was Mei Qingyun's previous voice and smile, as well as Mei Qingyun's disappointed look of forced smiles to encourage her when she explained the reason to Mei Qingyun before leaving for Zhangjiakou.After thinking about it, Young Master Zhang sighed, and murmured with his little conscience: "Qing Yun, I owe you too much. Now I swear to God, if you are safe and sound this time, I will never married a fourth wife."

"Young Master, Young Master!" At this moment, Zhang Shitou's familiar voice suddenly came from outside the room, Young Master Zhang jumped up, kicked open the door and rushed out.Sure enough, Zhang Shitou, covered in wind, snow and ice slag, had already returned to the General’s Yamen in Zhangjiakou, where Young Master Zhang lived temporarily. Seeing Young Master Zhang, Zhang Shitou only had time to say, "Master, Miss Mei is fine, the assassins are all fine." Killed by our people." Before he finished speaking, Zhang Shitou fell to the ground and passed out completely, and one of the war horses he brought out from Zhangjiakou had already died of exhaustion on the way.

"God bless——!" Young Master Zhang jumped up and down, "Come on, quickly carry the stone back to the room and let him sleep well! God, thank you, I won't marry the fourth one, absolutely not Married the fourth one!"

When it was completely dark, Zhang Shitou finally woke up leisurely, and only then did Young Master Zhang understand what happened. At midnight last night, four assassins indeed entered the back garden of the governor's yamen, and found The door of Mei Qingyun's room.But when the four assassins were about to break in, another man in black jumped off the roof, and without saying a word, he fought with the four assassins, and at the same time woke up Zhang Da in the governor's office. The young master's personal soldiers, hundreds of personal soldiers rushed forward, the riflemen and bayonets greeted together, and it didn't take long to get rid of the four assassins, but the man in black was also injured and left soon leave.

"Who is that man in black? Why didn't you keep him, let me thank him, and let him go?" Young Master Zhang asked excitedly.Zhang Shitou replied with a wry smile: "Master, when I arrived at the scene, the man in black had already left. Why should I keep him? But when Zhang Guogong thanked her, she said her name and said that she was paying back You don’t need to thank you for your great kindness in saving the whole family.”

"Who is it? I have done such a sinful thing?" Young Master Zhang asked in amazement.Zhang Shitou shrugged his shoulders and replied, "She is Miss Hong Niangzi."

"Red Lady?" First Young Master Zhang was stunned for a long time, and after a long time, Young Master Zhang whispered again: "In heaven, I am not lustful, let alone dishonest, just to repay my kindness—can I marry a fourth one?" ?”

"Boom——!" In the gloomy sky for a day, spring thunder suddenly exploded. This is the first thunder since the beginning of spring in the eighth year of Apocalypse. , the scene of Zhangjiakou’s border market turned a new page, and even the young master Zhang fell down on the ground in fright. Sacrifice, the oath I swear during the day, can you just pretend you didn't hear it?"
