Chapter 251 The remnants are still there(1/2)
When he arrived at the gate of the Taiwei Mansion, Mr. Guo was stunned.
This is the Taiwei Mansion, not the prefecture government office in Chuzhou.
How to report it?
I asked to see Taiwei Huo directly, but he was a white-body old man.
Is that asking for Marshal Shui or Master Xiao Bao?
These two people have met him, but they are not familiar with him.
Otherwise, if someone from Taizhou had come before, Mr. Guo would not have sent anyone to the prefect's office to report the letter, rather than the Taiwei's office.
However, the leader of Mazhai Village was in charge of logistics in Chuzhou and had dealt with the Guo family several times.
Seeing that the door had already come over and was on guard, Mr. Guo made a decision and stepped forward and said, "The villain, Guo Changgui, asked to see Mr. Ma Liu. If you have something important to report to Mr. Liu, please send me a message to you." As he spoke, he handed out a silver cake.
The door was startled and hurriedly pushed it back and said, "If you want to spread it, just spread it. If you do something, don't hurt me!"
Mr. Guo:...
The visitors with names and surnames were not embarrassed by others and spread them inside.
When I came back, I brought the servant out. It was the person next to the master of Mazhai, who led Mr. Guo in.
...
The leader of the village is still in the tea room, and the drunk Xue Biao has been helped to rest.
Du Laoba was hungry again and asked someone to give him two plates of osmanthus cakes, and was holding the plate and lying on the cakes.
The leader of the village told Huo Wu about the flag.
Xue Biao's words are not wrong, and the soldiers always need to know whose job they are holding.
Huo Wu thought for a while and said, "Since the young leader is Qilin, then add the 'Qilin' flag in the future!"
The leader of the village Ma disagreed and said, "Do you have to recognize the Bozhou court?"
Huo Wu waved his hand and said, "The word Huo is added to this Qilin, and the soldiers will only know that Qilin is the Qilin from Chuzhou!"
When Mr. Guo was brought in, he heard this sentence and couldn't help but feel trembling, and his expression became more respectful: "The little old man has met the Grand Marshal, the Sixth Master, and the Eighth Master!"
Huo Wu nodded and said nothing.
The leader of the village Ma looked over and said curiously: "Old Guo, I heard that you have something to do to look for me, but who else has you found in the building?"
Mr. Guo said: "Feng Zhaoyang, president of Huainan Road Chamber of Commerce, and a group of Yangzhou gentry were in the building..." As he said that, he paused and carefully explained the situation of Feng Baiwan summoning him.
After hearing this, the leader of the village, he couldn't help but frown: "What a Feng Baiwan, I really think he is a character!"
If Yangzhou has not been defeated, the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce is still qualified to hold its identity and bargain with Jinling. However, when time goes by, Yangzhou has been beaten and they are still holding it like this, it would be inappropriate.
Since the gentry of Yangzhou came to Jinling, he should go to the Taiwei Mansion to "appoint" the crime, and then talk about the others.
Huo Wu didn't say anything, but just glanced at Mr. Guo lightly.
This old man is old but never grows old.
Mr. Guo only felt his scalp numb and did not dare to look up, saying, "There is something else in the building, so the old man will go back first!"
What should I do if I don't go back?
Could it be that the top and third leaders of the Chuzhou Army returned the reply to Feng Baiwan?
The master of Ma Village did not keep guests, but took a sign and handed it to Mr. Guo: "You are interested. We are not outsiders. If you have any more things next time, just send someone over."
Mr. Guo suppressed his excitement, took the sign with both hands, and left in response.
The leader of the village said, "Fifth Brother, what should I do? This Feng Baiwan is ignorant!"
Huo Wu disagreed and said, "If he wants face, we will give him this face... but what we want, he will have to give him enough!"
The leader of the village touched his chin and couldn't help but feel excited: "How much does that cost?"
The richest man in the world, how much is this family?
Huo Wu took a list and said, "Do you pay the money according to the distance and closeness of the Huainan Road defenders! Firearms came out of the camp and 20,000 soldiers ran away. The families involved in these two things depend on whether they want money or death!"
The Ma Village Master received the order, which was densely packed with people, and listed dozens of gentry families with great prominence in Yangzhou City, except for the Feng family.
...
Beijing Flavor Building, a private room.
Feng Baiwan had already received the news and knew that Mr. Guo had gone to the Grand Marshal and felt very confident.
Since we follow the example of the Guo family, the rest depends on how much to give tomorrow.
His wealth is exposed outside, so it will definitely not work if it is missing.
Starting from 10%, 20% is the upper limit, no matter how many, it is impossible.
Always beware of filial piety next time.
...
No words all night.
The next day, Feng Baiwan took ten representatives of Yangzhou gentry to the Taiwei Mansion to visit.
Seeing that he was still wearing the old Confucian shirt of yesterday, everyone secretly curled their lips, hoping that the Taiwei had a good temper and would not care about these trivial matters.
It's just Monk Feng's side...
Feng Baiwan said yesterday that he was righteous and said "public first and then privately" that he would not go to Feng Shuai's Mansion, but other gentry and merchants made small plans and went to Feng Shuai's Mansion overnight.
But no one saw the real master.
Monk Feng is in Jinling Camp and is not at home.
Is this a coincidence? Or is it intentionally avoided?
Everyone was very confused.
Everyone was led into the side hall of the Taiwei Mansion and waited.
No one neglected it, and the servant got into tea.
After about a quarter of an hour, Huo Wu brought the master of the village, Master Lin, Shui Jin, Huo Bao and others in.
Although Huo Wu personally led his troops to Yangzhou before, he then crossed the river to Zhenjiang and did not show up in Yangzhou city.
This is the first time that a gentry in Yangzhou has seen Huo Wu.
Seeing Huo Wudao Kuoma sitting in the main seat, everyone's heart trembled.
This face is fierce enough, not like a good-tempered person.
Huo Wuhuan looked at everyone, but he had no intention of giving everyone a face.
In the current complicated situation in Yangzhou, these wealthy merchants are inevitably secretly fueling the fire.
He stopped Deng Jian and did not raise the butcher's knife directly, because it was for Monk Feng.
Since Monk Feng has already expressed his attitude, his concerns have been reduced by half.
"Twenty cannons bombed Chushan, injured more than a thousand white shirts, and lost several generals... 20,000 Huainan Road defenders ran to Taizhou, and provoked the relationship between the two places... I was close to Yangzhou, but Yangzhou disappointed me..."
Huo Wu said with a cold face.
Everyone in Yangzhou couldn't sit still and looked at Feng Baiwan together.
Feng Baiwan was very calm and sincere, and continued: "It was all Jin Feng who did things against him. Fortunately, Taiwei Huo was wise and Marshal Deng was brave and killed the evil! "
This Jin Feng is a member of the Empress, the Marshal of the Huainan Daodu, and died under Deng Jian's mace in the Battle of Yangzhou.
Huo Wu looked at Feng Baiwan and grinned: "President Feng is his own person and a sensible person... It's not like President Feng said that he only killed the evil spirit, but the remnants still exist!"
Feng Baiwan's expression froze.
What did he say? He didn't?
Huo Wu curled his smile and looked around everyone, with an unconcealed scrutiny in his eyes.
The gentry and merchants were stared at and sat up straight, and secretly scolded President Feng for being unkind.
"I once said something when I was in Chuzhou. I believe you are well-informed and have heard of it... Today I will also say it to you, either a friend or an enemy, no exception! Within five days, stay or leave, and in five days, you can only be your own family in Yangzhou City!"
Huo Wu made a sound.
Everyone is not surprised by these words.
The Chuzhou Army not only had this policy in Chuzhou, but was no exception when it was in Luzhou.
With these words, two other families were searched.
The Wu family, the leader of the gentry in Chuzhou, and the Qiao family, the leader of the gentry in Luzhou.
The Wu family father and son were killed and questioned, and their reputations were renowned.
The Qiao family's fate was not much better.
Mr. Qiao begged for death himself and arranged for funeral by his children and grandchildren. He wanted to avoid the White-Shirt Army through the filial piety period. As a result, he was convicted of a human tragedy of "rebellious son and father killing". His son was beheaded and his family was confiscated.
