Chapter 24 Threats

The person who came to report the news of the ship closure was Zhou Zhisheng, the young player Liu Kongzhao usually valued the most.

Chengyi Bo Mansion was the admiral of Cao Jiang for four times, and the three generations of the Zhou family were the core forces of Chengyi Bo Mansion's naval army in Xinjiangkou. Zhou Zhisheng's work was still no exception, so Liu Kongzhao was preparing to promote Zhou Zhisheng to specially send him to meet Liu Kongzhao. However, neither Liu Kongzhao nor Zhou Zhisheng would have expected to fall into a big trouble in a small book office.

Without Liu Yongxi's words, Shi Chaoli jumped out and accused: "Mr. Tong, what's going on? Our young master was ordered to lead the troops north to serve the king, but Tongzhou first sent Tongzhu to obstruct Xiao master from leaving the capital. Now Zhangjiawan has even directly detained the ship from our Chengyi Bo Mansion. I will ask, are there any spies sent by thieves and Jiannu in Tongzhou City?"

Shi Chaoli asked this question a little heartbrokenly. The sweat on Tong Yili's forehead oozed directly. He was about to turn back and turn against Liu Yongxi, but now he was not allowed to scold him loudly: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, what's going on? Let Li Shuban get over quickly!"

Although the Ministry of Revenue set up a yamen in Zhangjiawan and sent a chief to stay here, I heard that thousands of thieves appeared near Tongzhou, so the chief took a few confidants to Tongzhou to "assist in defense" immediately. Zhangjiawan now only has one Li Shu Office responsible here, so he could only come and shout for justice: "Injustice, this is an order from the Tongjia Hall. The villain just did it. He didn't know that the uncle went out of Beijing this time to serve the king..."

As soon as he said "Tongqi Hall", Shi Chaoli had already caught a fatal handle: "Tongqi Hall? There are spies sent by thieves in Tongzhou City! Tell me clearly whether it was the order of Tongqi Hall or the Shangshu Mansion? Also, since your surname is Li, what is the relationship with the thief Li Zicheng? Is it a lie sent by Li Zicheng? This matter must be investigated clearly!"

Li Shuban was so scared that he was even more nervous now: "Unjust! Unjust! This is purely a misunderstanding. The reason why the Tonggrass Hall ordered the ship to be sealed was because the grain ships in the south had been stopped for a few days. He felt that he had to prepare more ships in his hands to prepare for the intent, so he ordered us to seal the ships. It has nothing to do with the thief! Also, although the villain's surname is Li, it has nothing to do with Li Zicheng at all. Please do not wrongly accuse the good man!"

After Li Shuban said this, Tong Zhuang also remembered it, but he didn't dare to say that the Tongqi Hall had sealed the ship in order to prepare for escape, so he could only find a relatively high-end reason: "It is indeed true that the Tongqi Hall sealed the ship in order to make sure of everything, and it has nothing to do with Xiaozhenyi Bo Qinwang!"

Before Liu Yongxi could speak, Shi Chaoli sneered: "Why is it okay? I think not only are there spies who are thieves in Tongzhou City, but also spies who are thieves here in Zhangjiawan. How can Li Zicheng's fellow clan be used in such a critical position?"

Li Shuban was already scared by this huge crime and couldn't speak. However, Tong Zhuan was frightened all the way and now he was scared into a habit, so he finally took some responsibility: "My uncle, Eunuch Shi, these are all decisions of the Food Department. Although it is a temporary measure, it is not a big mistake from the situation at that time. Besides, no one can seal the ship!"

Li Shuban reacted immediately: "Yes, yes, Lord Tong is right. No one can seal the ship of Xiao Boye. When will Xiao Boye's ship be set off?"

Liu Yongxi immediately made the decision: "Okay, prepare six big ships for me. Lord Tong Yili and I will go to Nandu together, and then we will lead the troops north to serve the king!"

The head of Tong was scared in advance. He didn't expect that Liu Yongxi not only forced himself to Zhangjiawan but also had to go south. It was very difficult for him to be promoted from a juren. Finally, he became a chief manager of the prison warehouse with the reputation of "knowing the army". He didn't expect that he would lose his official position in just a few months, but he quickly realized: "Just do what his uncle wants, let's go south together to serve the king!"

Although he has always been a fat man in Tongzhou, he not only has his own yamen, but also lives in the mountains and eats the grain warehouse and is not afraid of being hungry. He cannot escape from thousands of taels of silver in normal years, but the hundreds of thousands of troops of the thief Li Zicheng can reach the capital at any time. In this situation, it is probably a great disaster to continue to stay in Tongzhou to encounter thieves and torture their wages.

Now Liu Yongxi gave himself an excellent excuse to leave Tongzhou. If you have Cao Jiang Chengyi Bo, at least he can restore his post when he arrives in Nandu, so Tong Zhushi suddenly became proud: "My uncle, then we will be colleagues from now on. This time we go south to recruit troops to serve the king, we must cooperate sincerely!"

If Tong Yili had not joined the gang, Zhangjiawan's local clerks, officials, and Caojun would definitely play various tricks, but with Tongzhu's affairs joining the gang, the situation would be completely different. The entire Zhangjiawan was mobilized at the first time, and Zhou Zhisheng was also very happy to take Liu Yongxi to see the big ship that Liu Kongzhao prepared for him.

It was hard to carry Liu Yongxi's elite troops with only one big ship. Tong Zhushi and Zhou Zhisheng immediately drove busy, and they quickly found a suitable canal ship.

Although Liu Yongxi's army was so powerful that it was filled with five large ships in the end, the real problem was how to transport the remaining few war horses. It took them a lot of effort to transport mules, horses and some carriages onto the ship.

Liu Yongxi gave the big ship that Liu Kongzhao prepared for him to Queen Zhang and Hou Taikang: "Brother Zhisheng, I will entrust you with the nobles on this ship. These two are more important than me. You must ensure that they are absolutely foolproof!"

Zhou Zhisheng heard Liu Yongxi say so seriously and knew that it was not a trivial matter: "Brother Xiao, which noble man is this?"

Liu Yongxi shook his head and said, "You can't say it, you can't say it. After you set off, you will know it. Never look down on these two nobles, otherwise even my father will not be able to protect you. If you can ensure that these two nobles are safe and secure, you will be able to make the whole thing stable!"

Zhou Zhisheng knew what Liu Yongxi said: "I understand, uncle, I will definitely serve these two noble people in a while!"

Zhou Zhisheng had just made arrangements, and Tong Yili came over there: "Brother, I am willing to travel south with you, but I can't let me cross south alone, right? Can I get another boat? Can I let these loyal and righteous people under my command travel south with me to travel south with me!"

Tong Yili had four or five clerks and thirty or forty soldiers under him who were surrounded by Liu Yongxi. Tong Yili was known for his "knowing the army", so he naturally knew the importance of catching more strength and was ready to use all the people who were surrounded by Liu Yongxi.
