Xu Yuan returned to Nandu four days ago.

The matter of the eunuch guarding Jiangnan who wanted to forcibly buy the iron field was not something that Xu Yuan could end by beating people, let alone that he dared to hide it and not report it.

In view of the fact that the matter was too high, Xu Yuan rushed back to Nandu in the afternoon of the same day to report the news.

"The killer in the palace, he might as well let the old man send him the iron field!"

After listening to what Xu Yuan said, Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, was very angry. Since only his family robbed others, no one dared to rob his family!

Regarding the emperor's new Jiangnan guard, Wei Guogong knew before the rest of the officials in the southern capital. As a national prince, if you can only know the movements of the Jingshi and ordinary officials by relying on the Di newspaper, then this national prince can not do it.

Speaking of which, Wei Guogong was very disgusted and hated for the misdeeds of the new Jiangnan guard in Jiangbei before. The blockade of the Yangtze River by Wei Eunuch caused some industries of the Guogong Government in Zhenjiang and Yangzhou to be "impacted".

It's just that the Duke of Wei didn't treat the Wei eunuch as a nail in the palm and a piece of flesh like the Marquis of Lingbi and other southern capitals, and he must get rid of it quickly.

A few years ago, the truth about the attack on the military and civilians that occurred in Wusongkou, Wei Guogong knew very well. But he did not participate in this matter, and even he refused the invitation of the Marquis of Lingbi, the Marquis of Dingyuan and others to contact the ministers of Nandu to impeach Wei Eunuch together.

The reason is that this prince knows how to figure out his intentions and is unwilling to come forward to be the first bird, which makes the emperor unhappy and angers the Xu family.

The Xu family has been able to rank first in the civil and military affairs of the southern capital for two hundred years, not only because of the shadow of the ancestors, but also because the Xu family understands current affairs.

Anyway, Wei Gelding is the emperor's house slave, and since the emperor sent him, no matter how dissatisfied the Nandu is, he always has to give the emperor face.

There are some things that can be done in secret, but not on the table.

But I don't want to, this Wei Eunuch dared to hit the idea directly on his Wei Guogong's head, which was really unbearable.

“…… You have done a good job in this matter, you just have to go to the main business, if Wei Gelding dares to send someone to smash the old man's leg again! ”

Wei Guogong was furious, but also made proper arrangements.

He knew that Wei Gelding had soldiers under him, and in order to prevent Wei Gelding from taking revenge for personal gain, he specially ordered Xu Guang and Xu Xing, the generals of the Fushang family, to lead more than 200 soldiers to Liyang Iron Yard to station.

These more than 200 soldiers are not only the elite of the Guogong Mansion, but also the elite of the garrison of the Southern Capital.

Lord Guogong was ordered to assist in guarding Nanjing, leading the Houfu, and admiring Caojiang, how could he have no elite soldiers and strong generals under his command.

With the support of the Duke of Guo, and the support of the more than 200 soldiers from the upper prefecture, Xu Yuan no longer paid attention to the revenge of the Wei eunuch, and took people back to Liyang after staying in Nandu for a day.

The soldiers led by Xu Guang and Xu Xing were all placed in the Liyang Iron Yard, together with more than 100 original guards in the Iron Yard, and Xu Yuan transferred manpower from other industrial mines afterwards, so that the guard force of the entire Liyang Iron Yard reached more than 600 people, and the workers and miscellaneous servants of the Iron Yard were only more than 1,000 people.

The soldiers of the Guogong Mansion are all armor and weapons, and the rest of the guards can't do a single armor for each person, but there is no problem with one knife per person.

You must know that there is nothing else in the iron field, but there are as many swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks. If you really want to get out of the way, you can give up the cost, and it's no problem for one person to be equipped with one iron armor.

But this is obviously not necessary, and it is a bit of a fuss.

put on such a big formation, and he was fully prepared, but in his bones, Xu Yuan didn't think that the Wei eunuch would dare to openly raise troops to come.

Because the eunuch Wei was the guard of the south of the Yangtze River, and there were soldiers and generals under his command, but his guard yamen was at Wusongkou at the eastern end of Suzhou Mansion, hundreds of miles away from Liyang, so no matter how many soldiers he had, it was impossible for him to send people silently.

Moreover, Liyang is under the jurisdiction of Tianfu, an important town in the southern capital, with tens of thousands of garrisons, and the Wei eunuchs dare not use troops in the southern capital after eating the bear's heart and leopard guts!

Things may end up in the end.

The eunuchs in the palace were red-eyed when they saw the money, and they were used to bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, so they didn't know that this Liyang Iron Field was the property of the Wei Mansion, so they sent people to buy it and wanted to take advantage of it. Now that I know, and I touched a bag, I know that I am powerful, and I don't dare to fight the idea of the iron field again.

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

The high pressure up and down the iron yard for days was loosened, but Xu Yuan was a little unbearable.

The reason was not that Eunuch Wei did not dare to retaliate against disappointing him, but that he found that compared with the unknown Eunuch Wei, the soldiers and generals from the Guogong Mansion were the most torturous.

The soldiers in the Guogong Mansion are really able to eat and toss, Xu Guang and Xu Xing are not fuel-efficient lamps, they haven't done anything, they haven't done anything, they haven't done anything, so they changed their ways to ask for more than 5,000 taels of silver from him Xu Yuan, saying don't be reluctant to give money, when you really want the brothers to use their lives, you Xu Xiaowu will know that the silver is not enough!

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

Xu Yuan said bitterly, please ask these Eight Masters Qiu to go back, and he is afraid that Eunuch Wei will suddenly kill him. Bear with me, the daily expenses are really big.

Wait a few more days, if it's okay, go back to Nandu and ask Guogong to transfer people back.

Xu Yuan secretly made up his mind that he would never serve these Eight Masters of Qiu, however, these Eight Masters of Qiu soon became his lifeline.

The initial incident did not attract Xu Yuan's attention, but the people below said that the convoy that transported the iron to the Nanpeng Iron Smelting Plant did not come back.

Xu Yuan didn't take it seriously, he just thought that the team was delayed in the iron smelting plant. But then someone came to report, saying that there were two workshops that did not send anyone to receive the iron today.

"Don't they want to do it!"

Xu Yuan hated his subordinates for working hard, and asked someone to go and see what the situation was immediately. But half a day passed, and none of the people sent came back. Not only that, but there was no news of the Qianshan Iron Mine, as if those places did not exist overnight.

Xu Yuan realized that there must be something wrong, so he summoned all his subordinates, big and small, and asked them one by one only to know that the people sent out by the iron yard did not come back when they got up in the morning, and none of those who should have come over to hand over the latte.

"Not good!"

Xu Yuan, who had a sense of crisis, frowned, pushed open the door and went to find Xu Guang and Xu Xing.

"Xiao Wu, what's so urgent?" Xu Guang and Xu Xing, who were drinking, looked at Xu Yuan, who was out of breath, in surprise.

"Eunuch Wei's people are here!"

Xu Yuan gasped and told Er Xu what had happened, asking the two of them to stop drinking and quickly organize people to take precautions.

"Won't it?"

Xu Xing burped and expressed doubts about what Xu Yuan said. That Wei eunuch really dared to break ground on Tai Sui's head, and he mobilized the people a few days earlier, how could he wait until today.

Xu Yuan saw that Xu Xing still didn't believe him at this time, and he was really anxious, so he stepped forward and slapped the table: "Don't be stunned, if something happens to the iron field, we won't be able to escape!" ”

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

"I'll go with you, if it's really a ghost made by the dog eunuch, Lao Tzu will cut him down with a knife!"

Xu Xing stood up slowly, if it was really the dog eunuch's ghost, he would castrate the dog eunuch again. It's so fucking tired and crooked, the Guogong Mansion is so easy to mess with!
