Xu Yuan returned to Nandu four days ago.

The eunuch in Jiangnan wanted to force the iron farm to buy a house, but Xu Yuan could not finish it just by tying the person, nor did he dare to hide it privately.

Given that this matter is too important, Xu Yuan rushed back to Nandu to report that afternoon.

"He might as well let me give him the iron field to him by the killing talent in the palace!"

After hearing what Xu Yuan said, Duke Xu Hongji of Wei was very furious. It was only his family who stole other people's things, but no one dared to stole his family's things!

The Duke of Wei knew about the emperor's new appointment as the governor of Jiangnan, compared with the rest of the officials in the Nandu City. As a Duke, if he could only rely on the mansion to report the movements of the capital like ordinary officials, he would not know it.

Speaking of which, why did the Duke of Wei hate and hate the unjust actions of the new Jiangnan guard in Jiangbei before? The act of Wei eunuch blocking the Yangtze River caused some industries of the Duke's Mansion to "impact" in Zhenjiang and Yangzhou.

However, the Duke of Wei did not treat the Wei eunuch as a palm nail and a sting in the flesh, and must be removed quickly.

The Duke of Wei knew the truth about the civilian attack on the Japanese pirates in Wusongkou in the past few years. However, he did not participate in this matter. He even refused the Marquis of Lingbi. Marquis Dingyuan and others asked him to contact the honorary ministers of Nandu to write a letter to impeach Wei.

The reason is that this Duke knew how to figure out the best intentions and was unwilling to be the leader, which made the emperor unhappy and angry with the Xu family.

The Xu family has been able to rank first among the civil and military officials of the Southern Capital for two hundred years, which is not only because of the ancestors’ love, but also because the Xu family knows how to understand the current affairs.

No matter what, Wei Yi was the emperor's slave. Since the emperor sent him, Nandu was dissatisfied and always wanted to give the emperor face.

Some things can be done secretly, but they can't be put on the table.

But I didn't expect that Wei Yi would dare to put his ideas directly on the Duke of Wei, which was really unbearable.

"...You did a good job in this matter. Just go to the head. If Wei Yi dares to send someone to break my leg!"

The Duke of Wei was furious and made proper arrangements.

He knew that Wei Yi had soldiers under him, so in order to prevent Wei Yi from taking personal revenge, he specially ordered Xu Guang and Xu Xing, the generals of the mansion, to lead more than 200 soldiers to station them at the Liyang Iron Field.

These more than 200 soldiers are not only elite troops in the Duke's Mansion, but also elite troops in the Nandu.

The Duke of the State was ordered to assist in the defense of Nanjing, led the rear palace, and the admiral of Cao Jiang. How could he not have strong soldiers and generals under his command?

With the support of the Duke of the State and the support of more than 200 family soldiers from the mansion, Xu Yuan naturally no longer took the revenge of the eunuch Wei. After staying in Nandu for a day, he took people back to Liyang.

The family soldiers led by Xu Guang and Xu Xing were all placed in the Liyang Iron Field. Together with the original guards of the iron field, Xu Yuan transferred from other industrial and mining forces later, the guard forces of the entire Liyang Iron Field reached more than 600, while the workers and servants in the iron field were only more than 1,000.

The Duke's Mansion's soldiers were all armored and weapons. Although the rest of the guards could not make a armored suit, there was no problem with each person and a knife.

You know, there are no other things in the iron field, such as swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, halberds, hooks and forks. If you really have to sacrifice your money, you will be willing to pay for it. It is okay for each person to get one iron armor.

But this is obviously unnecessary, it's a bit of a big deal.

He made sufficient preparations to set up such a large formation, but Xu Yuan did not think that the eunuch Wei dared to come openly.

Because the eunuch Wei was a guardian of Jiangnan, he had soldiers and generals under his command. However, his jail office was at Wusongkou at the eastern end of Suzhou Prefecture, hundreds of miles away from Liyang, so no matter how many soldiers and generals he had, it was impossible for him to send people silently.

Furthermore, Liyang is under the jurisdiction of Yingtian Prefecture, a major city in Nandu, with tens of thousands of troops stationed. Eunuch Wei did not dare to use troops in Nandu even after taking Xiong Xin and Leopard's courage!

Things may end up leaving nothing.

The eunuchs in the palace were jealous of money and were used to bullying the weak and fearing the strong. Perhaps because they didn't know that the Liyang Iron Farm was the property of the Duke of Wei's Mansion, they sent people to buy it forcibly, trying to take advantage of it. Now that they know that they have touched a bag, they know it is amazing, so they don't dare to make an idea of ​​the iron farm again.

Things were as Xu Yuan guessed. A few days passed and there was no movement at all.

The high pressure in the iron field was loose for days, but Xu Yuan couldn't stand it.

The reason was not that eunuch Wei did not dare to take revenge and disappointed him, but that he found that compared with eunuch Wei who was unknown, the group of soldiers and generals from the Duke's mansion were the most tormenting.

The soldiers from the Duke's Mansion are really good at eating and making trouble. Xu Guang and Xu Xing are not fuel-efficient. They did nothing and did nothing to do. They just tried to get more than 5,000 taels of silver from him, Xu Yuan, and said that they should not be reluctant to give up money. When they really want their brothers to spend their lives, you, Xu Xiaowu, will know that the money was not given enough!

"Xu Xiaowu" is Xu Yuan's nickname. Xu Guang and Xu Xing are generals of the Duke's Mansion. Both of them have the title of Thousand General in the army, which is not comparable to Xu Yuan, and their seniority is higher than Xu Yuan. After the two brought their troops to the iron field, Xu Yuan, the "Xu Batian" who had been in Liyang for ten years, became a grandson.

Xu Yuan was in trouble and asked these uncles Qiu Ba to go back, but he was afraid that eunuch Wei would suddenly come. Let’s bear it, the daily expenses are really huge.

Wait a few more days, if you are fine, you will go back to Nandu and ask the Duke to transfer the people back.

Xu Yuan secretly made up his mind to never serve these Mr. Qiu Ba. However, these Mr. Qiu Ba became his life-saving straw.

The initial incident did not attract Xu Yuan's attention, but the people below said that the convoy transporting the iron to the Nanpeng Iron Smelting Factory did not return.

Xu Yuan didn't take it seriously, just thinking that the convoy had delayed something in the iron smelting factory. But then someone came to report that there were two workshops that did not send anyone to get the iron today.

"Don't they want to do it anymore!"

Xu Yuan hated his subordinates to work hard and asked people to go and see what happened immediately. But after half a day, no one sent back came back. Not only that, there was no news at Qianshan Iron Mine, as if those places no longer existed overnight.

Xu Yuan realized that something must be wrong, so he summoned all the officials under his command. After asking one by one, he found out that the people sent from the Iron Field were not back when they got up in the morning, and none of the people sent from the Iron Field should have come to hand over the latte.

"not good!"

Xu Yuan, who was conscious of crisis, jumped up and pushed open the door and went to find Xu Guang and Xu Xing.

"Xiao Wu, why are you so angry?" Xu Guang and Xu Xing, who were drinking, looked at Xu Yuan who was running in surprise.

"Ephesus Wei's men are here!"

Xu Yuan gasped and told Erxu that what had happened, and told them not to drink anymore and quickly organized people to prepare for it.

"No way?"

Xu Xing burped and expressed doubts about what Xu Yuan said. The eunuch Wei really dared to make trouble on Tai Sui's head. He mobilized a few days ago, so how could he wait until today?

Seeing that Xu Xing didn't believe him at this time, Xu Yuan was really anxious and stepped forward and slapped the table: "Don't be stunned. If something happens to the iron field, we can't escape!"

Xu Guang and Xu Xing were startled. The former thought about putting down the wine pot, stood up and said, "Okay, I'll take the troops to take a look."

"I'll go with you. If the dog eunuch really gets the ghost, I'll cut him with one knife!"
