Geng Shaoquan has the power to do something, and it is inevitable to do some things to rob men and bully women. There are many illegal things, and there are even suspicions of using Yongying to sell illicit salt and smuggle trade. It's just that everyone is afraid of him, and they have received his benefits and filial piety, so they don't embarrass him.

There are people above him who are sheltered, even if they want to fight a lawsuit with him, it is difficult to win him. The local government has benefited, and it has also covered up his various behaviors. Geng Shaoquan is also a single, if the government doesn't come to provoke him, he won't trouble the government, on the contrary, he helps the government collect taxes, and the two are safe, but they just suffer the people.

In the past few years, once Taizhou found traces of the Japanese invaders, he had to hire him Geng someone's brave battalion to defend the city and maintain the place. The Geng people are brave and good at fighting, but they are a strong army, but the asking price is quite high, and every day they are hired, the soldiers will have to pay six cents of silver, which is twice as high as the Qi family's army.

This time, Yan Hong came to Taizhou, and when he recruited Yongying, Geng Shaoquan also handled it, and I heard that he also suggested that the prefect should prohibit marriage and treat Qincha with beautiful women, but the prefect refused. It's just that although the matter has not been done, the rumors have dispersed, and most of the people in Taizhou Mansion have a disdainful attitude when they mention Yan Honglai, and as for the literati, they regard Yan Hong as the reincarnation of Jiang Bin and the resurrection of Qian Ning.

Yan Hong frowned and said, "Which one is this surnamed Geng?" He did nothing good to discredit me in all his might. This man is not a fool, what is it that he is trying to do this thing that harms others and does not benefit himself? ”

Le Jin shook his head and said: "The lowly position is just to return the news to the chief, as for how to judge, the lowly and foolish, I really don't understand." ”

Yan Hong waved his hand to let him step down, and Le Jin said: "There is still a matter to report on the humiliation, and a large family has moved in Taizhou City recently. There were no less than a hundred servants. But the head of the family refuses to show up on weekdays. I don't know where it is sacred. Now that the situation is urgent, the lowly position is only afraid of any changes, and he does not dare to hide it. ”

Yan Hong nodded and said, "Well done." When the ruler turns back and makes a statement, he will definitely put your merits on the table, and you will step back and spy more and investigate carefully outside the door of the big house. If there is any change, I will know quickly. ”

Sent away Le Jin, Jiang An said: "According to the humble position, Geng Shaoquan is a martial artist, and he may not be able to have any scheming. Most of the time, he thinks that if he ties up your relationship, he can soar, so it is not surprising that he offered this clumsy plan. Like this kind of country tyrant, he has no knowledge, and he may not be malicious. On the contrary, the big family was very suspicious. Now that they have seen the traces of the Japanese robbers, the rich people can't hide. How can there be any reason to take the initiative to send it up? Most of them are the spies of the Japanese cowards, so it's better to catch them first and then make a plan. ”

Jiang An's words are not pure public intentions. He is not only a thousand households in brocade clothes, but also a tough character on weekdays. Especially now that it is wartime, the rules in all aspects cannot be emphasized, and if the foundation of a large family is shallow, it is often necessary to take advantage of the opportunity to blackmail some people.

What's more, this big family is a foreigner, and there are 100 servants and family members, which are full of suspicions. Thinking about it in Jiang'an, no matter what it is, arrest this person first, and then whether he is guilty or not, it is all in his own hands, and he is afraid that he will be able to turn the sky upside down? The confiscation of the big family's property is enough for his subordinates to travel this time to reward him.

Yan Hong pondered that his reputation in Taizhou was not very good now, if he caught this big household casually, he didn't know what kind of turmoil Lu Dao was going to make, so he shook his head and said: "Forget it, there is no evidence, and it is not a way to arrest people indiscriminately." If something goes wrong, it's not good for us. I'll wait for some time to visit and see how it goes. I think that Geng Shaoquan is domineering and harmful, compared to the Japanese Kou, how strong is it before he sees it, let's beat him first. Will be a thousand households, but you say, how should you clean him up? ”

The head of the family didn't want to provoke the new big family, and it was not easy for him to force it. As for beating Geng Shaoquan, the idea is not worried. After thinking for a while, he said: "If the master of Qincha wants to deal with Geng Shaoquan, he can arrange for the three armies to be inspected in the school military field tomorrow, and gather all the local brave battalions to check the salary." Since the recruitment of brave battalions, shortages are the norm. Geng Shaoquan not only dared to meddle in the sale of smuggled salt, but also a master who wanted money and did not want his life, so it was not unusual to be greedy for more empty salaries. In my opinion, he reported a quota of 1,000 soldiers, and in fact it would be good if he could have 700 soldiers. When he found out the evidence of his greed for military salaries, he naturally wanted to beat it up, and it was all up to Qin Cha to be happy. ”

Yan Hong didn't feel that he looked at this general Qianhu differently, he was really quick thinking, and he was so good at kung fu, so he figured out how to clean up Geng Shaoquan. He also knew that Geng Shaoquan was not only a local tyrant, but also a powerful clan, and he was afraid that he would not be able to put him down just by falsely reporting the number of soldiers. But he can finally take away his military power, and when the time comes, he can also disgust the other party very well.

As for this, this Geng Shaoquan is the leader of the local regimental training, will it affect the city defense if he does it? In this regard, Yan Hong is different from the local government. The local government can't suppress this local snake, but Yan Hong is the emperor's order, and there are 3,000 Zhejiang soldiers around him, are you afraid that this local tyrant will turn the sky upside down?

Now that he had an idea, Yan Hong arranged for someone to go to Ye Guochen again, and transferred a sum of silver taels from the treasury to prepare for the payment after the inspection tomorrow. This is also a strange phenomenon in the Ming Dynasty today, the whole army roll call is not just a casual play, after the roll call must be paid, otherwise the soldiers may make noise. Ye Guochen didn't dare to stop it. Although Taizhou's economy has not been good recently, there is still a lot of savings in the treasury, and it hurriedly ordered the treasury to be opened and withdrawn to prepare for the payment of military salaries.

In the evening, the silver had just been prepared, and the weather outside had changed dramatically, and the wind and rain were raging. Yan Hong and Qi Jiguang were sitting opposite each other drinking tea, and when they heard the sound of rain, they frowned and said: "If this rain doesn't stop tomorrow, I'm afraid that it will be a roll call, and it will have to be postponed." ”

Qi Jiguang smiled: "No need. Qin is a new arrival, if the order is changed, then how can it be prestigious? Since it is said that it will be paid tomorrow, it is to be paid tomorrow, Qin Cha can rest assured, tomorrow Qi's Zhejiang soldiers will come to the school first, so that these people can also see what a strong soldier is. ”

The next day, the rain was not light at all, and the crackling eaves were chaotic. Ye Guochen asked for instructions several times, whether to order it another day, Yan Hong was expressionless, he just refused to change his words, and Ye Zhifu had to let Geng Shaoquan prepare and bring his Tuanyong out. Geng Shaoquan was in his own camp, and when he saw the heavy rain, according to the usual practice, he thought that he must not be named, and he didn't even change his clothes and armor. Who knew that when I heard that the prefect said that Qin Cha refused to change the day, he couldn't help but say angrily: "Straight lady thief, don't let people live?" In this heavy rain, what else is there to test the three armies, it is clearly to rectify people! Old lady Shou, it's not Geng who is complaining here, but it's yours who is not. If you are willing to follow what I said, prepare a few young ladies from large families and give them to Qin Cha Nuan, how can he trouble us? This is good, this time it is Geng who will take the blame for you. My brothers, you are also knowledgeable, they are all rude people, and you are not so polite in terms of politeness, and if you collide with the cha when the roll call is called, don't blame us. ”

It is said that he is a military attache with a false rank of a thousand households, a local martial artist, compared to the Taishou of a mansion where he was born as a Jinshi of the National Dynasty, there is a world of difference, and he should have been beaten up a long time ago when he spoke with a red face and a thick neck. But that Governor Ye was good-tempered, but he said to him: "Geng Huhou, the old man was confused for a while in this matter, but the matter has come to this, what's the use of complaining about me?" Let's hurry up and gather the people and line up in the school field. Later, Qincha got angry, but it was not a joke. After all, he has the king's order, so it's not easy to provoke. ”

Geng Shaoquan thought to himself: This is also an opportunity. Since ancient times, when the army is angry, it is easy to change. When he arrives at the school yard later, he can incite his soldiers to mutiny, and when the time comes, he will rush up and hack Qin Cha to death. Those so-called new troops must have lost their calculations. He shouted again, pointing out that these Zhejiang soldiers are all dead now, instigating them to take the opportunity to mutiny, seize the capital of Taizhou, and make a contribution in front of Li Lao.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had a clever method, and went back to the barracks, and invited a few sworn brothers who were gambling and a few outlaw leaders who had been invited, and told him about his own arrangements. When those people saw that the weather was not good, they thought that it was too peaceful today, and some of them simply put up their powder heads and went into the barracks to fight. They didn't have any foresight, they were all used to picking up knives and slashing directly, and immediately echoed: "What Boss Geng said is, what are you waiting for now? Since those real widows are also close, let's simply strike first, seize the city, and rob him first. Otherwise, if the real widow breaks the city first and is washed by those things, we will only have the share of drinking pot water, and it will be dry! ”

There are also people in the middle who are a little older, and say, "That dog is nothing, he can take 3,000 people." There are so many people, how can you deal with this? ”

Geng Shaoquan pouted and said, "What's wrong with three thousand people?" I heard that they were all miners recruited from the mountains, and they were all recruits who had not gone through the battle formation. If he were an old soldier who fought an old war, I wouldn't dare to take the brothers to death, those new troops were all blown out, Qi Jiguang was Hu Zongxian's cronies, and he was blown invincible in the world with excellent equipment. A group of people who haven't even seen blood, afraid of a ball? In this weather, the shotguns and the Franc machine have all become burning sticks, and they pay attention to using knives desperately, and they must also have this kind of work. Besides, in my opinion, the surname Yan is deliberately embarrassing us. Those Yiwu soldiers may be hiding in the barracks and sleeping a lot. If they are also forced to stand in line on the school field, and we are angry, won't they be angry? When Qin Cha dies, what dare they have to fight us? Most of the time, if we raise our arms, there will be 3,000 more minions. ”

In Geng Shaoquan's gang of bravers, most of them were salt lords and bandits, and in the past, they did not fight with officers and soldiers. They felt that what Geng Shaoquan said was reasonable, in such weather, bows, arrows, and muskets could not be used, and the officers and soldiers ran out of fire first. After tearing up and killing in close quarters and seeing blood, these people are probably scared to pee their pants, what's the use of more people? I thought about opening Taizhou Mansion again, which was a lot of wealth, and this transaction was still done. nodded one after another, "Since that's the case, let's do it, let's go back and gather Erlang, go to the school to find Gou Qincha to settle accounts, and listen to Boss Geng's arrangement when we go to the place!"
