269 Mediation

(Brothers, it's the period of double monthly passes, that brother has a monthly pass, just vote for me, those gods have so many monthly passes, I don't care about one or two more, but I care!) Please, brothers. ）

Looking at the beautiful and delicate porcelain and jade in the hall of the Yu family, Li Zixiao had to sigh.

These are the crystallization of the wisdom of the Chinese people, exquisite works of art, but unfortunately there are not many that can be seen in later generations, and most of them were destroyed in the war.

Just when Li Zixiao was thinking about these things in a mess, the monk ran over and said to him eagerly: "General, my master asked me to come back and report."

In the east, Wan Hongsheng, the lord of the Wan family, led hundreds of families and nurses, and is rushing towards us.

In addition, along with Wan Jia, there was also the Yangzhou soldiers and horses guarding, they came straight to us with hundreds of soldiers, and they were violent, as if the comers were not good.

In addition, the Intelligence Department also sent someone over to inform us that Governor Lin was also coming towards us, and the other Steward Chen from the palace was also coming over.

It is estimated that they will have half a pillar of incense in time, and they should be here with us.

My master asked for instructions, what should I do with those thousands of nursing homes and families who rushed over? ”

"Count the time, it's time for them to come.

Monk, go back and tell your master, let them guard the streets on both sides, and not let anyone go, whether it is his people, or officers and soldiers.

If you want to come over, let them lay down their weapons and come to see me alone, of course, you have to be polite to the upcoming Governor Lin and Steward Chen, understand? ”

"Yes, my subordinates understand." After the monk got Li Zixiao's instructions, he ran out again.

And Li Zixiao knew that Lin Yongnian, Chen Hu and Wan Hongsheng, the lord of the Wan family, were about to arrive at Yufu, so he knew that he was also about to make trouble.

When these people come, there will be an explanation for this matter.

So, at this time, Li Zixiao sent someone to call Zhao Teng.

"Zhao Teng, how are you looting? No matter how much property you have found from the Yu Mansion, you will immediately withdraw from the back now. ”

After Li Zixiao saw Zhao Teng, he said.

Zhao Teng also knew that the matter was urgent, so he hurriedly reported: "General, my subordinates are responsible for raiding the accounts of the mansion and searching the treasury in the mansion.

Until now, more than 120,000 taels of silver and more than 6,000 taels of gold have been seized from the Yu family's silver vault.

The rest of the gold and silver are fine and soft, and because there are too many of them, they have not yet been counted, but according to the estimates of their subordinates, the value of the things seized from the Yu Mansion this time will not be less than 200,000 taels of silver. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Teng's tone was also slightly trembling.

Since he came to Yangzhou with the Tiger Camp, he has seen more silver these days than he has seen in three lifetimes.

If it had been placed in the past, he had seen the most silver at one time, only a few hundred taels, how could he have seen gold and silver worth hundreds of thousands of taels at one time.

Fortunately, the White Dragon Army is strictly disciplined, and there will be no chaos of looting.

Although some soldiers inevitably carry some property in private, as long as it is not too excessive, those commanders and generals will turn a blind eye.

"The Yu family really deserves to be a big businessman in Yangzhou, and there is only so much cash copied from the house, but it's a pity that there is too little time for Lao Tzu, otherwise he can squeeze more oil and water from the Yu family."

Li Zixiao said with a little pity.

After all, once Lin Yongnian waited, Chen Hu and the Wan family came, they would never tolerate him taking away so much of the Yu family's property.

Therefore, Li Zixiao can only snatch as much as he can before they arrive, and then he will die and not admit it, and others can't do anything about him.

He didn't believe it, these people really dared to punish him, they really dared to compare him to him, if they really wanted to kill his head, it would be a big deal.

But according to Li Zixiao's estimate, this most serious result cannot happen, and at this time he has a heavy army in his hand, which is his biggest talisman.

By the end of the Ming Dynasty, as the situation in the imperial court became more and more erosive, the attitude of the imperial court towards many generals who supported the army outside could be said to have taken a 180-degree turn.

Chongzhen didn't dare to force these generals to be in a hurry, for fear that they would rebel or take refuge in the Tartars outside the Guanwai.

And at that time, the attitude of those generals also became arrogant and domineering.

During the Taiping period, civil officials looked down on military generals, and in troubled times, military generals played a much greater role than civilian officials.

And this time, Li Zixiao just wants to learn from others, be an arrogant and domineering master, and also send a signal to people that he Li Zixiao is not easy to mess with.

If you don't talk to me about the rules, Lao Tzu will directly lift the table for you.

Just as Li Zixiao and Zhao Teng were talking, Li Tianbaxing hurried over and shouted in a loud voice: "General, we found a granary in Yufu.

There are 20,000 stone of grain inside, and the warehouse is full of piles, but I didn't expect this profiteer to store so much grain. ”

After listening to Li Tianba's words, Zhao Teng said with a wry smile: "Battalion commander, although food is a good thing, we don't have the opportunity and time to transport it away now." ”

"Why don't you transport it away, it's 20,000 stone of grain, enough time for us to eat deliciously."

Li Tianba doesn't value gold and silver, but attaches great importance to these grains, which makes Li Zixiao nodded, this big old man is still thick and thin.

"It's urgent, Zhao Teng, you go and do your business."

Li Zixiao waved his hand at Zhao Teng, Zhao Teng saluted, and left in a hurry.

After Zhao Teng left, Li Zixiao said to Li Tianba with a smile: "There is too much food, we can't transport it, and the people from the government are estimated to arrive soon."

But at that time, how could they watch us move away from Yu's food, so we can't take this food away.

Well, I have a better solution.

Tianba, you take a hundred soldiers and mobilize those servants and slaves of the Yu family to move all the grain in the granary of the family to the east gate of Yangzhou.

Then let Zhang Fugui, who was lurking in the city, go out of the city and send people to spread the news everywhere, saying that our 'Tiger Camp' will distribute food at the gate of Yangzhou City.

But all the displaced people around can come and get food, so we will give them three buckets of grain each, and one bucket for the children.

Since we can't take it away, don't leave these grains for your family, just to buy the hearts of the people, and when Lao Tzu comes to Yangzhou next time, it is estimated that many people will welcome us. ”

Suddenly, Li Zixiao had an idea and came up with this idea to deal with this batch of grain.

"Gao, the general's method is really high, I just want to do it." After Li Tianba heard this, he also ran away with an excited face.

"Nonsense, what nonsense, what about your general, take me to see him."

It didn't take long for Li Zixiao to hear a solemn and slightly angry voice outside in the hall of his house that had been scavenged with light.

As soon as Li Zixiao heard this voice, he knew that it was Lin Yonglai, so he quickly got up and went out.

When I was halfway there, I saw that Tie Dan was leading Lin Yongnian in, and Lin Yongnian at this time had a gloomy old face, how ugly it was.

"Really, I didn't raid your house, why did you show me your face!" Li Zixiao muttered in his heart.

Moreover, Li Zixiao also sees that he is Lin Wan'er's father, and maybe he will be his father-in-law in the future, so he doesn't dare to slack off.

If it were someone else, Li Zixiao would not take him directly when he saw this face, and what about the prefect of Yangzhou, he couldn't control him anyway.

Moreover, there was another person behind Lin Yongnian, Chen Hu, but he didn't expect the two to arrive together.

It's just that Chen Hu at this time stood behind Lin Yongnian, looked at Li Zixiao from a distance, and then shook his head with a wry smile, with a helpless face.

Even if Chen Hu was the outer housekeeper of the palace, in front of Lin Yongnian, he didn't dare to take the lead.

"Master Li, what are you doing here?" After Lin Yongnian came in, he held back his anger and asked Li Zixiao.

"I didn't do anything, I just came to collect debts." Li Zixiao said very casually.

"Door-to-door debt collection? Are the rumors on the street true? ”

Lin Yongnian was also stunned, and asked.

On the way here, he heard that the streets of Yangzhou were talking about this matter at this time, and there were many versions.

Some people say that it was the eldest young master of the Yu family and Li Zixiao who had a conflict over a prostitute in Guiyue Tower last night, and today Li Zixiao led people into the Yu Mansion.

Some people also said that the Yu family secretly framed Li Zixiao, and Li Zixiao knew about it, and the angry Li Zixiao directly killed the family.

Of course, one of the most widely spread theories is that Li Zixiao exchanged the banker tickets with the Wanjia and Yujia money banks before, but was rejected by the two money banks, and slandered Li Zixiao's bank tickets as fake.

Therefore, Li Zixiao was angry, led people to copy the money houses of the two families, and rushed into the Yu Mansion, as for the Wanfu, it was not something that could be rushed, and the persimmons could only be picked up and pinched.

At this moment, when Lin Yongnian heard Li Zixiao say this, he immediately knew that the most widely circulated rumor was true.

"Are the rumors out there true? Are you because Wan, Yu Liang's money bank, did not give you the bank's ticket, so you led troops into the city to copy the two money villages, and broke into Yu's mansion? ”

"yes!"

Li Zixiao's answer was so natural that Lin Yongnian and Chen Hu were dumbfounded.

"You are making too much of a fuss, just because of such a trivial matter, you brought troops into the city without permission, not only raided people's money houses without authorization, but also broke into the mansion of a former court official.

You are simply committing a big crime, the Wan family will never give up, this time you are in big trouble, and if you don't get it right, you will be beheaded. ”

Lin Yongnian scolded Li Zixiao for a while, and Li Zixiao looked indifferent.

Beheading, joke, who can cut off the old man's head, I'm not one of those foolish and loyal generals in the court, whoever dares to cut off Lao Tzu's head, Lao Tzu will kill him first.

"Lord Lin, dissipate your anger, General Li is indeed a little reckless in this matter, he is a general, his temper is a little bigger, but there is also a reason for it.

However, this time there was no big mess, let's try to calm this matter down, otherwise it will not look good on our Yangzhou Mansion if it spreads! ”

Chen Hu stood up appropriately at this time and persuaded the angry Lin Yongnian.

Chen Hu is here to make peace this time, prepare to make peace, and try to calm down this matter, Yangzhou can't be messed up.

They finally forced Wanjia to give in, obtained Wanjia's illegal salt sales network, and then it was time for them to make a lot of money.

At this time, we must not let Yangzhou mess up because of Li Zixiao, and it will delay their money-making plan at that time.

"Well, Manager Chen is right. Ziqian, you are about to order someone to release the family, and when the family comes, speak politely.

This time, I and Manager Chen mediated between it, and tried to make it a big thing into a small matter, you take me to see Master Yu now, and apologize to Master Yu. ”

Lin Yongnian's anger also subsided a little at this time, and after listening to Chen Hu's words, he calmed down, knowing that what Chen Hu said was right.

Although Lin Yongnian and Chen Hu have different ideas, their purpose is the same, that is, to ensure the stability of the situation in Yangzhou.

And this time, Lin Yongnian called Li Zixiao instead of his official position, it was obvious that he was talking to him as an elder, and the meaning of helping him was already obvious.

But at this time, Li Zixiao touched his nose very embarrassedly, and then said embarrassedly: "That, we probably won't be able to see the master, because...... He's dead. ”

"What? Yu Shiming is dead? Killed by you? ”

After listening to Li Zixiao's words, Lin Yongnian roared again. Even Chen Hu, who was standing behind, looked incredulous.

"Of course I didn't kill it, that old thing had a heart problem, and he was a little frightened and died."

Of course Li Zixiao won't, Yu Shiming's old thing was angry with himself, so he quickly picked himself out.

"Ziqian, you are too worry-free, even if Yu Shiming was not killed by you, but he died because of you, this time it is really troublesome.

Wan Hongsheng will definitely take advantage of this to make trouble, and now whether he can persuade Wan Hongsheng to deal with this matter in a low-key manner is only up to Manager Chen. ”

Lin Yongnian didn't deal with Wan Hongsheng in the end, and he was still on Li Zixiao's side at this time, after all, Li Zixiao gave him a lot of help.

When Chen Hu saw Lin Yongnian looking at him, he also smiled bitterly and said, "I'm just a little housekeeper, and I don't have so much energy, I will definitely be able to convince Wan Hongsheng."

However, I will try my best to mediate this matter, Yangzhou must not be chaotic, this is also the meaning of my prince, but I am afraid that I will have to wronged General Li at that time. ”

After listening to Chen Hu's words, Lin Yongnian breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he didn't believe Chen Hu's modest words, he definitely had the ability to influence Wan Hongsheng's attitude.

As long as Chen Hu is willing to mediate this matter, after all, speaking for Li Zixiao, there is still a possibility that this matter will be good.

It's just that Li Zixiao on the side still doesn't care, to be honest, Lin Yongnian is afraid of Wanjia, but he is really not afraid of Wanjia.

"Ziqian, Wan Hongsheng will come later, you have a better attitude, apologize to others first, and be soft, even if you look at Uncle Lin's face, okay?

I don't want to see you go to war with Wanjia, and then the people of Yangzhou City will suffer again. ”

Lin Yongnian turned around and said earnestly to Li Zixiao.

But at this time, Li Zixiao couldn't live up to Lin Yongnian's kindness, just nodded and said, "I'll have a better attitude later."

I did get a little impulsive about this, and it's okay to apologize, it's better to be able to make a big thing small. ”

At the same time, Li Zixiao thought in his heart: Nima, Lao Tzu has looted more than 200,000 taels of gold and silver from Yufu this time.

If he apologizes for just two sentences and just gives in casually, he can pass, then what is his face, he can't wait for this kind of good thing to come a few more times.

After Lin Yongnian saw Li Zixiao's attitude, he also breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.
