Chapter 494: A Tooth for a Tooth
But now that it is going to be used, it has naturally become a target, Cai De is also a good reward for being recruited, the blood on his hands is not so much, it meets Zhao Ziying's standard of no blood debt, and then everything is a matter of course.
There are also additional benefits to extinguishing Cai Kui's momentum, and on the third day after the news came out, three river thieves found Zhao Jin, and asked Master Jin to give him a way to live, and if there is an order, he must obey it.
In addition to this, Tong Huaizu of Xuzhou Zhizhou also got benefits, because he cracked such a big case, Shangfeng was rewarded below, and the bitter masters who came from other places who did not know the truth also sent a plaque, and the gongs and drums were sent to the yamen, but this Tong Huaizu had face, but Tong Huaizu was quite crying and laughing in private.
After this thunderbolt, there were rumors in Xuzhou, saying that Jin Ye was going to build a card on the Yellow River, and some people refuted this rumor, saying that the inspection department was going to set up a card on the Yellow River.
When hearing the address of this checkpoint, everyone thinks it is reasonable, originally there are two dangerous places in the Xuzhou section of the Yellow River, one is Xuzhou Hong, the other is Lulianghong, these two places because the river is narrow, there are huge stones in the river, resulting in turbulent water flow from the former Cao transport ships through Xuzhou, it is easy to overturn in this section, so it requires a large number of slender men and river workers to maintain.
However, in the early years of Jiajing, Longqing and Wanli, they were all repairing here, blowing up boulders, widening the river, and smoothing the water flow, which greatly facilitated the transportation.
But the blessing and misfortune depend on each other, the pros and cons are half, the water flow is gentle, and the safety of ship navigation is greatly improved, but the sediment carried by the Yellow River is silted down because of the smooth flow of the water, resulting in the riverbed being raised and the river channel is silted, which is convenient for decades, the Yellow River in Xuzhou is unusable, and can only be diverted in the Kaijia River in Pizhou, which is also one of the reasons why Xuzhou is deserted and withered.
Because of this, the water surface of the Yellow River at the junction of Pizhou and Xuzhou is calm, there is no water flow at all, even with the help of the wind, it is impossible to run fast, since it is not fast, then the interception and inspection of the ship can intercept the inspection, this checkpoint can naturally be set up.
People from all walks of life are thinking about what impact it will have on everyone after setting up the card, naturally no one pays attention to Yangzhou, in the eyes of most people in Xuzhou, the Feng family in Yangzhou has been defeated by Zhao Jin, and they dare not make any moves.
The assassination that day when he visited the Hejiazhuang market with the salt merchants, as well as the initiative of Li Dajin and Li He to take refuge, these news are all blocked from the outside world, and no one knows about it at all.
However, the Feng family still knew the news, and they also arranged for someone to stay in Xuzhou City, without waiting for any news, without waiting for the companion to come back, this person knew that the Tao was not successful, and quickly left to return.
A little later than the news of the Feng family's knowledge, the salt merchants and stewards who went to Xuzhou also brought back the assassination of Zhao Jin, related to the salt market, and everyone tacitly kept it secret, but Zhao Jin was assassinated, and the Feng family instructed it, and everyone also tacitly released it.
The Feng family is naturally angry, but the biggest impact of the news is not that they have lost face, but that no one dares to take over the work sent by the Feng family.
The assassination was unsuccessful, and the Feng family also strengthened the guards, doubled the guards inside and outside the mansion, and invited the dart master of the dart bureau to guard them, and even a few catchers drank tea nearby every day. These characters in the government may not have any ruthless tricks, but when they see people in the government, everyone will always be jealous, this is protection.
Vigilance is vigilance, the Feng family also knows Zhao Jin very well, and knows that Zhao Jin has no power in Yangzhou, and he also feels that Zhao Jin does not dare to risk the crime of rebellion and rebellion.
The old lady Feng Jinfa, the old man Feng Shaoxian, and the housekeeper Feng Da, these three people are naturally cautious, but the others don't care much, and they feel that they won't come to their own heads anyway, how many big people are inside and outside Yangzhou City, who dares to do it here.
Feng Shaoliang, the second master of the Feng family, is a concubine, but Feng Jinfa likes this son very much, and Feng Shaoxian also takes good care of this younger brother.
This exchange is related to wine and wealth, Feng Shaoliang is a playboy, and he is really happy in it. And they have made a lot of money up and down, the Feng family has a big business, and it is their own family, and everyone pretends not to see it.
There is no complete thing in the world, Feng Shaoliang is romantic, but his wife is very tight, his father-in-law's family works in the mansion, although the grade is low, but the real power is not small, Feng Shaoliang can only pinch his nose and be controlled by his wife, and look out of the sky to have fun and steal.
When the Feng family's brigade went north to Huai'an Mansion Caowozi, Feng Shaoliang took advantage of the fact that everyone's minds were not on internal affairs, and deducted a large amount of money from the public school as a private house, and used this to redeem a good fan in the painting boat, and bought a small mansion in Yangzhou City to settle down, and met from time to time.
It's only been less than a month, and it's the time when the love affair is hot, and it's about to pass when it's empty, and the Feng family has also said from top to bottom, everyone should be careful, Feng Shaoliang didn't dare to slack off, and Feng Bao asked four guards to follow him and took a carriage into the city.
"It's still reliable for your own family, you look at these four guards, the one with the tiger's back and the bear's waist, one can beat ten thieves, you look at the people selected by Li Dajin, there are all kinds of strange shapes, and I don't know how much silver he deducted in it." Feng Shaoliang was in a very good mood on the carriage, and said with a smile and a smile with the relatives around him.
The relatives just agreed, but they understood in their hearts that there was such a thing as a thing, Li Dajin's people were too straightforward, Feng Shaoliang once fought with people in the Qinglou and was jealous, suffered a small loss, and went to Li Dajin to help, but Li Dajin did not agree, saying that he had to speak to the grandfather, the master and the housekeeper, and the most difficult scene was Feng Bao with a few cronies to find it.
The carriage entered the city, and it didn't take long to come to the small mansion, knocking on the door, a delicate maid happily put people in, the Feng family was born, and there were a few when I bought it, in addition to the pink head, the maids around me were also good goods, and the four guards were standing in front of the intersection with their chests and stomachs, making a mighty look.
But as soon as Feng Shaoliang and him entered the courtyard, as soon as the courtyard door was closed, these guards immediately gathered together and chatted, foaming at the mouth, saying that they were all women in this house, and all kinds of unbearable things did not need to be mentioned.
There is a hawker with sugar cake at the mouth of the alley slowly walked in, and someone on the other side pushed a wheelbarrow, which was loaded with wooden barrels, these two kinds are seen in and outside Yangzhou City, sugar cake is an ordinary snack, and the people in the house ordered vegetables, vegetables and fresh fruits in the house in eight or nine out of ten in the wheelbarrow, and sent them regularly every day.
In front of Feng Shaoliang's outer house, the sugar cake vendor and the wheelbarrow passed by, and the wheelbarrow accidentally knocked over the candy cake vendor's pick.
The peddler was in a hurry, and immediately dragged the driver pushing the wheelbarrow to prevent him from leaving, and the two of them tore and screamed and scolded, but the four guards had a lively look, and turned around and stared with a smile.
In such a prosperous place as Yangzhou, there are really a lot of idlers who like to watch the excitement, and there are a few people on both sides, and the four guards don't care about the smile, and one person even sneaks out two pieces of sugar cake in the hawker's frame and hides it in his arms.
The quarrelsome people were among them, and the excitement almost blocked the alley, and at this moment, the idlers who had just come over were two to one, directly pressed the guards of the Feng family, gagged their mouths neatly, and hit them hard, and they all bent down in pain.
However, at this time, there was nothing unusual to see, and even if there were occasional passers-by, they could only see a group of people arguing in front of a certain house.
The wheelbarrow barrel stepped on the foot, and the two idlers stepped directly over the wall, and a short exclamation sounded inside, and then stopped, and then the courtyard door was opened, and the four Feng family guards, along with the vendors outside and the idlers watching the excitement, poured in, and even the car was pushed, and the courtyard door was closed, looking just fine.
Such a small mansion in Yangzhou City is made of exquisite seclusion, and the wealthy giant room is purchased or a private meeting, or for the sake of the golden house, if the movement is as soon as it spreads, it is not beautiful.
So what happened inside, I couldn't hear it very clearly outside, there were screams, there were begs for mercy, but everything was brief, and soon it was quiet.
It didn't take long for the wheelbarrow to be pushed out, and the idlers and peddlers followed, as if the porter had been hired by the company, and someone said to the door in a loud voice: "I must send it here early next time, I can't bear it this time." ”
On the second day, when the horses pulling the cart had eaten the grain in the hay sacks, they were anxious and neighing with hunger, which alarmed the passers-by, who thought that the coachman was too slack to take care of the horses.
A knowledgeable man stepped forward to reassure the horses, lifted the curtain of the carriage with curiosity, and then sat down on the ground with a scream, the coachman had been stabbed in the chest, his mouth was covered with rags, and the wound was still stuffed with cotton pads, completely soaked in blood.
This is the carriage of the Feng family, there will naturally be an emblem on the car, naturally someone reported the news to the Feng family, Feng Shaoliang has a house in the city, many people in the Feng family know about it, but they just pretend not to know, and now that this matter is happening, they immediately find it.
No one in the house is alive, Feng Shaoliang is also in a different place, a large handful of salt has been sprinkled on his head and face, and the house is full of blood.
The body was collected and sent back to the Feng family, and the Feng family was immediately extremely sad, the relevant family members cried and grabbed the ground, and several people in charge of the Feng family were trembling.
