The general path that the bandits know is not going to work.

But Yan Jiekun is not a standard bandit, because his background is different from almost all bandits, he is a person with formal official education, and he was an adult when he fell into the grass, so there is still an essential difference between him and these bandits in thought.

Even if the landlord class is inferior to a chicken, it is still the same as the ruling class in terms of behavior and ideology.

So Yan Jiegang finally found a way.

He used the information he had to find some people he knew and who now held some key positions (basically his father's old friends), threatened them with their fatal stains, and through them, found some big merchants with real power in the local area, and then bought and sold grain under the guise of a name. In the end, the transaction of nearly 10,000 stone of grain was completed.

Of course, for the sake of long-term development, and in order not to expose flaws in the short term, and to avoid the situation that the food is intercepted before it arrives, Yan Jiekun is not distressed about the silver, and he spent nearly 200,000 taels before and after!

Naturally, these silvers were brought out in batches, and then deposited in the bank, in exchange for silver bills, and then traded.

This is the reason why the bandits entered Beijing before and after.

And the reason why he beat Tao Huan and others violently was because he had been in Beijing for some time, and it was also the result of knowing some things about Wutang.

Yan Jiegang has no objection to the martial arts hall, and even agrees.

Because, even if he falls into the grass, he still yearns for the life of a normal person. And in the bottom of his heart, there is still an indelible desire for the official status he once had. This is the secret of his heart.

However, if the grass falls, it is out of reach. But the lecture on martial arts gave him hope again.

Wuju, if it can really be implemented, he will be able to change his identity and return to the real and human society again. This is what he has consulted with his brothers.

However, even if you can't, in these years, if you want to live well, you can kill people and set fires. He did the first two, and he was just short of the third.

Based on the wine words overheard by the brothers, Yan Jiekun and the others were unexpectedly angry. So he struck.

As for encountering rice fish on the road after leaving the next day, it was something Yan Jiegang didn't expect. He wanted to see what Miyu was going to do, and he wasn't necessarily hostile to this group of Ti Cavalry. But as a result, he was discovered by Miyu, and he fought a few times, although he killed two of her, but his own side killed and injured several people.

For rice fish, Yan Jiegang actually feels a little guilty. But after so many years, any feelings have faded, and the tailgating and subsequent actions are all curiosity, plus the result of being forced by Miyu, it is completely accidental.

This is the real reason why Zhou Jinmian said that day and Mi Yu said, two things.

......

Ti Cai only vaguely guessed that the bandits were in trouble based on some clues, otherwise they would not have entered Beijing with the bandits. But the real reason is not very clear.

Xie Shence thought of some other things according to Tiqi's return, and finally determined that these bandits came to Jindu, except for money, food, and weapons, there would be no other things that could put them in danger.

However, there is no shortage of money, and there is not a lot of money in the mountains. So what these bandits need is nothing more than weapons and food.

So...... In the last two years, food is more likely than weapons.

So Xie Shence decided to put some people in this gang of bandits. There has long been a disagreement between Tiqi and the bandits, and it is not only for Emperor Jin to remove a heart disease and add some incense, but also for Tiqi. After all, Tiqi suffered a lot of losses in Taihang Mountain in those years.

Of course, I don't even know the specific reason, and I can't act on it. So, he had to confirm his conjecture.

After dealing with some more things, Xie Shence returned to Weihou Mansion.

In the study, Xie Shence found his father Xie Shang. Uncle Xie Yi is still in the northwest, dealing with some trivial things, and also dealing with the disturbance of the Xianbei people by the way, and has not yet returned to the Jin capital.

Xie Shence sat down in the study and said, "Father, there is something I want to ask you. ”

Xie Sheng put down the pen in his hand and said, "What's the matter?" On the marriage side, you don't have to worry about it at all, your mother and your sister-in-law will handle it all by hand. The queen also called someone to help. ”

"With the mother and sister-in-law presiding, the child is naturally not worried, not to mention the queen's worries. The child is here mainly for the ...... There is one thing that needs to be solved by my father. ”

Xie Sheng nodded.

So Xie Shence said: "The child wants to know, if the bandits suddenly come to Jindu, what is it for." ”

Next, Xie Shence carefully explained some of the things that have happened recently.

After hearing Xie Shence's words, Xie Sheng pondered for a long time and then said, "If nothing else, it's for food." ”

"The order of the household department was given for the hands of the father. The private embargo on grain, and if a businessman must transport grain, he must have a document issued by the household department to prove it. Moreover, there are strict restrictions between 100 stones, 1000 stones, and 10,000 stones, and the documents are not the same. If you do it privately...... Basically impossible. Unless someone is doing something in secret. ”

Xie Shence asked: "If someone is secretly doing something, how can it be prevented?" ”

"Prevention is also basically impossible." Xie Sheng replied: "If you want to verify the appointment order of the household department, you need to find the corresponding documents. But those who can do tricks and feet generally don't show flaws in the paperwork. Even if it is determined which one or several appointments are problematic, it is necessary to conduct an on-site investigation to determine the authenticity. However, the on-the-spot investigation of the local area requires the approval of His Majesty, the transfer of personnel from the household department, the cooperation of the local authorities, and then the investigation and verification of the information. This kind of thing is extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive. ”

After a pause, Xie Sheng continued: "And it's thankless. After all, no one in the local area likes the distrust of the imperial court, and they send people to check on themselves. In this way, if it is really the bandits of Taihang Mountain who want food, and the name of Qiaoli is Shandong Province or Hebei Province or even Guanwai Road, even if it is found out, the food may be eaten. ”

Xie Shence fell into deep thought.

After a long time, Xie Shence asked again: "What if it is blocked halfway?" ”

"That's not possible. Bandits don't put the words 'I'm a bandit' on their faces, so how do you know which truckload of grain belongs to bandits? Moreover, it is better to intercept the congestion from the source or destination. ”

Xie Shence rubbed his temples and said, "At the source, you said that it was too late, and as for intercepting from their destination, it was even more difficult. Leaving aside where they were transported from, even if they did, who knew which way they went? Which way to enter the mountain? ”

Xie Sheng was also silent, after all, this matter is really complicated. Even with Xie Xiang's decades of experience, it can't be cracked for a while.

"That's it." Xie Shang said: "Over there, my father will help you watch it first, and you will also mobilize the cavalry to assist your father in a thorough investigation to see if you can catch some clues." Then let the Huai Shang and Jin Shang take action and let them help take care of it, and they should still be able to gain something. At the same time, I reported the matter to His Majesty separately, and asked His Majesty to give an order to order all passes to be strictly guarded, and to check the Yan family transporting grain. Didn't you say that someone in Tiqi knew the bandits? That's good, draw the face, post it in various cities, and be wanted by the whole country. Then let Tiqi make an unannounced visit and launch a search for the black list and gangsters. Do you believe that those people can take care of the food they have worked so hard to get? Since you take care of it all the way, you can't leak out at all! ”

Xie Shence nodded and said, "There is only one way at present." ”

After Xie Shence came out of Xie Shang's study, Xie Laosan came over to report: "Young master, the artillery battalion you mentioned has developed new gunpowder, and it is said that the effect is amazing. Moreover, the fourth child is expected to come back the day after tomorrow. By that time, the construction of artillery battalions will be perfected. will be able to meet your requirements, young master. ”

The artillery battalion has always been a major event for Xie Shence, and its importance is even higher than that of the martial arts, second only to his own two marriages.

The construction of the artillery battalion has always been the responsibility of Xie Laosan, and he soon did it again according to Xie Shence's requirements.

Among them, Zou Fatzi and Xie Chengcai both played an important role. Under Xie Laosan's mediation, Zou Fatzi is now completely a member of the Xie family, as for Xie Chengcai, because of Xie Laosan's relationship, he is also a chicken dog ascending to heaven in the family, which is very unpleasant. Now he and Zou Fatzi are working diligently in the artillery battalion.

After the artillery battalion was built, Xie Shence didn't have time to look at it, but he just asked Xie Di to draw some sketches and come back for a cursory look, and saw that there was no problem, so he was relieved.

Today, Xie Laosan said that Xie Gang was coming back, and Xie Shence suddenly thought of someone.

An obscene and thin image jumped in front of me.

Three jumpers......

This person's loyalty and ability are needless to say and undoubted, just because he joined forces with Zhang Xiang and earned hundreds of thousands of taels of silver for Xie Shence in just over two years, it is enough to thank Shence for paying more attention to him.

Xie Shence suddenly felt a little more relaxed in his heart.

Back in the room, Caiyi didn't wait for him in the room, and Xie Shence was a little displeased.

I don't know, young master, I've been very tired lately? Why don't you come over and beat your back!

In the room where Caiyi hadn't slept for a long time, Xie Shence found her. When Xie Shence said that she was beaten, Caiyi was a little aggrieved.

"Young master, that, the slave is not...... The young master is still three months away from marrying the young lady, and if the slave maid wants to serve the young master again at this time, she will let the young lady know in the future...... Young master, the slave has long been yours...... Spare the slave and maid. ”

Xie Shence said "oh", and he understood the reason.

As a Caiyi, she will be a concubine at most in the future, so you must pay attention to your manners. "Seducing" the head of the family before the eldest woman passes through the door is a taboo, especially during the marriage period, and it is even more intolerable. It's etiquette.

That's why Caiyi made this move, what she was afraid of was that Wang Jiehua would hold a grudge after passing the door, and give her small shoes, or even kick her out. It is really normal for the eldest woman to do this to a concubine, and even the head of the family can't say anything.

So I had to do it, comforted Caiyi, and thanked Shence for sleeping alone.

Although Caiyi knew that Xie Shence was different from some high-ranking disciples, and she was also extremely protective and respectful of herself, and Wang Jiehua was also a reasonable and well-cultivated person, she didn't want to cause trouble to the two.

I'm afraid that at this time, Xie Shence will scoff at Caiyi's inner thoughts, Wang Jiehua is reasonable and has excellent cultivation?

How can it be!

Because he said two more words to Wang Qingyan, he ignored people for a few days, and because he occasionally lost his mind, he didn't compliment her in time, and she was twisted by the waist......

Where would it be a reasonable person?

There are eighty-seven days left, and you can get married to Huahua...... Lying on the bed, Xie Shence smiled softly at the corner of his mouth.

However, thinking of Wang Jiehua, Xie Shence naturally thought of Wang Qingyan, and when he thought of that woman, the tenderness at the corner of Xie Shence's mouth disappeared and was replaced by a thick guilt.

I'm sorry for her in the end.
