Chapter 32 The old hero is Cang Jingkong

Zhang’s Mansion, Zhang Quanbao and Zhang Quande were chatting in the study, saying one sentence in the east and the other, and then finally got the topic.

"It has been three days since Brother Wang led the team out?" Zhang Quanbao asked.

Zhang Quande calculated his fingers and nodded. "I left on May 21st. Today is May 24th. Yes, it's been two days."

"I don't know what the result is?"

Both of them were a little worried. Now the Zhang family and Wang Yi are grasshoppers on the same line, relying on each other, and their lips are dead. The thing that Zhang Quanbao is most satisfied with Wang Yi is that he does not forget the well digger. The distribution of interests is done thoroughly and will not interfere too much in Tai'an's decisions, but he can put forward reasonable opinions and not make the Zhang family look ugly. Another point is that Wang Yi's activation of Zhang Jingxiao. Even the Zhang family, or rather Zhang Quanbao himself, dare not trust his son so much, but Wang Yi dares. The maritime department of the entire Da Shang, whether it is a shipyard or a maritime school, is completely managed by Zhang Jingxiao. Although everything started from scratch and looks weak. But Wang Yi has done everything in place, and what is left is Zhang Jingxiao's training for himself.

There was a knock on the door outside the house.

"Come in!"

A servant pushed the door open and said in surprise: "Mr. Wang, you are back from victory."

"What?!"

Zhang Quanbao and Zhang Quande both stood up in shock and said unconsciously: "How could it be so fast?"

Wanjia Kiln is not the Wanjia Kiln more than a year ago. Since occupying Dagu Mountain, it has been connected together. The Qi army has nearly 8,000 troops under its command. Coupled with the guarding of the three mountain passes, Wang Yi's insurance team is not worthy of fighting for ten days and half a month.

Of course, Wang Yi knew this better than anyone else, so from the beginning he did not intend to attack Wanjiayao, but set up two ambushers.

The first ambush was Zhao Agou who followed Fu San to surrender to the Qi army in the Juyi spoils hall. His identity was the deputy captain of the hidden sword team under Wang Yi, and his status was second only to the old scorpion Shen Qianwen. After joining the Qi army, he was deeply appreciated by the Qi army and was later appointed as the deputy guarding mountain at the First Mountain Pass.

The second ambush was Jinjiabao, which was forcibly forced by the Qi army to join Wanjiayao. Wang Yi sent the old scorpion to persuade and lobby himself, and promised great profits, including 30% of the Dagushan Mine. Later, the fortress owner Cang Jingkong agreed to Wang Yi's request and also went to the insurance team base to meet Wang Yi in person. Although Wang Yi was shocked by the old hero's name, and even evoked some ignorant past events that could not be looked back on when the night was quiet, he was still very enthusiastic. After seeing the military appearance of the insurance team, Cang Jingkong completely made up his mind to surrender.

Just half an hour before Wang Yi launched the attack, Cang Jingkong brought 400 subordinates to Wanjia Kiln, and then told him about Wang Yi's attack on Wanjia Kiln. At first, the Qi army did not believe Cang Jingkong, thinking that he was going to make a mistake, but when the spy got the exact answer, the Qi army felt relieved.

But at this time, Wang Yi had successfully captured the first mountain pass with the help of Zhao Agou, and the second mountain pass was in danger at this time. The battle situation was critical, and the Qi army did not hesitate anymore, so he took his subordinates to supervise the formation. At this time, Cang Jingkong took the opportunity to volunteer and naturally obtained permission from the Qi army. At that time, Lao Qi was moved and said that his brothers were united and their strength was cut off. As a result, after reaching the second mountain pass, the situation changed drastically. Cang Jingkong's four hundred men directly surrounded all the bandit leaders of Wanjiayao, including the Qi army, and whoever dared to resist was shot directly on the spot.

When the Qi army saw Wang Yi and Cang Jingkong walking together and having a great conversation, he almost regretted it. But the success was the king and the defeated thief. Now it was useless to say anything. The Qi army himself knew that the land that fell to this point was also related to his oppression of Jinjiabao. You forced others to send their families and children to your Wanjia Kiln, and in turn they could cause your rebellion! As the saying goes, if you are on the first day of the first day and the fifteenth day of the year, don't blame anyone.

When the rest of the bandits in Wanjia Kiln saw that their family's generals and four pillars were all taken away, what else could their own bandits resist? So they surrendered and fled. Of course, there were also those who were generous and Wang Yi was able to fulfill them. There were also those who sold their owners and sought honor. Wang Yi was not very disgusted with them. This era is like this, and each person lives with his own way of living.

Wang Yi sat on the chair of the Grand Master, drinking tea expressionlessly, and Wu Xiao, Xiang Long and others stood on both sides. Now the entire Wanjia Kiln was trembling under his feet. Wang Yi was not in much pleasure at this time. The Qi army was brought up, and he first looked at Wang Yi, full of disdain, and then stared at Cang Jingkong standing beside him fiercely.

When the two soldiers who escorted him saw that this guy actually saw his captain, he dared not to kneel down, so he immediately kicked him in the hind calves.

Wang Yi waved his hand at this time, imitating Dongfang Bubai's tone, and said softly: "Stop it. Since you don't kneel, don't kneel. Then pull out his family and all the young people, peel off the grass and light the sky lanterns. Remember, the dripping human oil is kept for me, as well as those heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys. After you go back, use human oil to eat it. My Xiao Hei likes to eat these wolf hearts and dogs the most."

The Qi army glared at Wang Yi angrily, but Wang Yi looked at him with a smile. Even so, the Qi army clearly felt the coldness in Wang Yi's eyes, which was a kind of looking down across the times. In this era when there were no tears in the sky and people were like straw dogs, you could be thieves, cruel and ruthless, and use any means, but you must also be prepared to be killed.

"Are you kneeling or not?" Wang Yifeng asked lightly.

The Qi army's body was trembling.

"Jin Lin is not a thing in the pond. It turns into a dragon when it encounters wind and clouds! Unfortunately, it's not you..." Wang Yi did not scare people anymore, shook his hand and said, "Take him down, pass me the order, take a group of bandit leaders such as the Qi army to the octagonal platform and hand it over to Chief Zhang Baocheng for handling."

Wu Xiao is making records.

"Slay the little flowers!"

"arrive!"

"The remaining bandits asked them to conduct internal reports, and those who have made meritorious service can reduce their guilt. At the same time, the villagers' meeting will be held tomorrow to make them complain and take revenge, and those who have the most evil will be shot!"

"yes!"

"As for the remaining bandits, the serious criminals were handed over to Bajiaotai to repair the Liaohe waterway and dig wells to build roads. The remaining followers, the old and weak, gathered together to build collective farms on my acre of three-part land in Dagushan, open up land and farm land, and I will issue specific regulations at that time. As for the young and strong people, stay in the Dagushan mine to work."

Wang Yi turned his face to look at Cang Jingkong and said, "Old hero, please help me settle this group of people for now, and I will pay the money for the food!"

"Captain, you are kind. My Jinjiabao will do everything possible to help you with the aftermath."

After staying for a night, Wu Xiao came to the door as soon as Wang Yi got up in the morning.

"team leader!"

Wang Yiyi was stunned when he saw Wu Xiao's appearance. He looked like a rabbit, his eyes were red and his expression was excited.

"What's wrong with you? Didn't sleep last night?"

"I didn't sleep! Last night, I took someone to check the warehouse of Wanjiayao, and it has been until now."

"It seems that I have gained a lot!"

Wu Xiao handed over the account book, but Wang Yi didn't care too much, but when he saw it, he was shocked!

There are 50,000 taels of gold and more than 1.23 million taels of silver, countless money making, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, jewelry, jade, Chinese medicine, and animal skins.

"Why is there so much money?" Wang Yi also screamed and said in his heart, no wonder the Qi army dared to bring up a team of nearly 8,000 people, and they are rich.

"Tu Xiaohua interrogated the Qi army. The reason was actually very simple. The one he robbed! According to Qi army himself, the most he robbed was the Mi family, which monopolized the timber trade in Dagushan and Dadonggou. The Mi family was also a nearby tycoon, colluded with corrupt officials, escorted armed, suppressed armedly, and killed countless people at his hands. Then there were several large bannermen, who had close ties with the Qing court. Except for the offerings of local tenants, most of them were transported from the pass."

"You go and call Chang Jinlong!"

"Yes!" Wu Xiao turned around and went out. After a while, he walked into the house with Chang Jinlong.

After that, the three of them discussed secretly for a long time.

"Not good, someone sets fire!"

Sparse gunfire came, and five or six masked men fell into pools of blood. However, the fire gradually rose, and the entire Wanjia Kiln soon turned into a sea of ​​fire. Everyone stared at the scene in front of them, and many locals couldn't help but shed tears.

Wang Yi, who was standing in front of the people, roared angrily: "What's going on!"

Wu Xiao walked over at the right time and whispered loudly: "Report that a spy has mixed into Wanjia Kiln. He took advantage of our unpreparedness to add fuel to the fire. Now the fire has started and it is difficult to control. Captain, let's evacuate the people and leave quickly!"

Wang Yi stomped his feet three times, and finally said helplessly: "Oh...well! Let's go!"

In Fengtian Shengjing General's Mansion, Wanyan Chongshi took office as General Shengjing for less than a year. He worked day and night because of his official duties, and his body suddenly became corrupt. Now he can only stay bedridden and handle official duties by leaning against the head of the bed.

"Sir, the Tongzhi of Haicheng and Tongzhi of Yingkou sent a message at the same time that the local militia destroyed the Qi army, the evil bandits entrenched in Wanjia Kiln in Dagushan. A group of bandit leaders have been taken to Shengjing and are about to arrive soon. The more than 200,000 taels of dirty silver seized. However, the Wanjia Kiln was set on fire by spies after Wanjia Kiln, and the rest of the property was burned."

These days, it was the first time Chongshi had a smile, and his body became much more refreshed. He immediately laughed and said, "Okay, very good! Reward those who have made great contributions."

Chongshi didn't care much about the Qi army. What he cared about was that Fengtian had nothing to lack, but he was short of money.

Three days later, Chongshi, who had just slept for a while, suddenly woke up. The maid hurriedly stepped forward to serve him, and only heard Chongshi say, "Can you reach Shengjing for the 200,000 taels of silver?"

This was said without any conclusion, and his subordinates didn't react for a while.

A nimble servant whispered a few words beside the housekeeper. Then the housekeeper realized it suddenly and hurriedly said, "Master, I'll send someone to ask."

Chongshi waved his hand and everyone retreated.

Most of the hour later, a fast horse stopped in front of General Shengjing's mansion, and immediately ran inside in a hurry, but was stopped by the guards.

"Who dares to break into General Shengjing's Mansion?"

"Urgent report!"

"Urgent report? You have to wait for me even if you report it!" A guard snorted coldly, then cursed a few times before he passed it inward.

The housekeeper was struggling, and no news came back from the house servants. When the guards said they had an urgent report, they quickly ordered people to be brought in. He did not want to interfere in official business, but just wanted to find out the news. After all, Chong Xinzai's health was not very good.

"What happened?" The butler asked in the small courtyard in front of Chongshi's bedroom.

"The big thing is wrong. When the 200,000 taels of dirty silver seized from Wanjia Kiln in Dagushan reached the northern foot of Qianshan, they were suddenly robbed by horse bandits. Most of the militia escorted to the trash silver were killed. The bandit Qi Guoyuan was rescued."

"What about the 200,000 taels of silver?" The butler was already stern at this time.

"Rised by the robber."

"Snatched it away? Who did it!?"

"There is no clue yet, but the surrounding prefectures and counties have begun to conduct detailed investigations."

Just as the butler was about to continue asking questions, Chongshi suddenly pushed the door and walked out with the help of the maid. When the butler saw it, he was shocked and hurriedly said, "Master, you must take care of yourself!"

Chong Shizai's face was very bad, extremely pale, and his body was still trembling. He reached out to point something, but he couldn't control the direction. The butler was about to speak, but the girl exclaimed. It turned out that Chong Shi fainted after several rapid breaths, and for a moment, the entire Shengjing General's Mansion was in chaos.

That night, General Shengjing, the Minister of War, and the Minister of War, and the Chief of Fengtian Prefecture, Wanyan Chongshi passed away at the age of 57. After his death, he was posthumously awarded the title of Prince Shaobao and was posthumously named Wenqin.

Wang Yi didn't know that the trick of robbing himself on the northern foot of Qianshan Mountains actually incited General Shengjing of the Qing Dynasty to death. He burned Wanjia Kiln and robbed dirty silver by the Pegasus. When he robbed dirty silver, there were indeed countless dead people, but they were all bandits selected before, all of whom were extremely guilty. As for the Qi army and the bandit leader, Wang Yi could of course not keep them. They are now dead, but they are dead bodies, but they don't know where the people who were buried with Tu Xiaohua with a hidden sword. Wang Yi was very relieved to do such things.

As for the 200,000 taels of silver, in the large box pulled by more than a dozen carriages, only one layer of real silver on the surface and the bottom is full of big stones. Now the silver has been sent to the treasury of the Dashang Silver Furnace in the martial arts school base. When it comes out again, it will be the Dashang Silver Dollar.

Wang Yi was not worried about this matter. Besides, the case of the government being robbed by more than 200,000 taels of silver has happened. He had been robbed from Jinzhou to Shanhaiguan and was preparing to transport it to the capital by the Hu bandits. Such things are common, and the Qing court itself may have been used to it.

After returning from Dagushan, Wang Yi was in a good mood. Under the protection of the insurance team, the prospecting team had already set out and waited for Dagushan to send back the news.

The 500,000 taels of government loan lent to the General's Mansion of Shengjing has been in place. The three-year mining rights of Fushun Coal Mine are now mortgaged. Now they have come into the pocket of Dashun Silver Furnace. If they are not paid back in the future, this is still a matter of different reasons. Fushun's coal mine has begun to recruit workers, and Wang Yi is the first to focus on the Xi'an Open-pit Coal Mine, which was known as the number one open-pit coal mine in Asia, and the coal chemical equipment that followed has also begun to be loaded from Germany.
