Chapter 80 Canglu County
"......" Lan Ruoting was speechless, and deliberately pinched Feng Ruonan when he saw his signal. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Even if it wasn't, he wondered, what do you mean by being insidious, who came up with the bad idea? You have all the medicine, who is insidious?
Not long after Lan Ruoting left here, Shang Shuqing came again and asked tentatively, "Is it Mr. Lan who doesn't let Dao Ye heal his sister-in-law's subordinates?"
"It's not that you don't want to heal, Mr. Lan wants to match the prince and the princess......" Niu Youdao directly clarified Lan Ruoting's meaning.
Shang Shuqing couldn't cry or laugh, and found out how these men thought about these bad things, but she didn't have any comments on this matter, and returned to the main topic she wanted to ask, "Master Dao, your healing method is of great benefit to the soldiers who fought on the battlefield, and I don't know if it is inconvenient to teach us?"
Niu Youdao waved his hand disappreciably, "It's not a big deal, I want to learn to find monkeys, he is better than me in terms of trauma treatment." ”
Many crafts in this world are not passed on, Shang Shuqing was also worried that the other party would cherish the broom, but he didn't expect the other party to agree so happily, and said ecstatically: "Okay, Qing'er is a great soldier on behalf of the Daoye!"
For the soldiers who fought on the battlefield, this is indeed not a trivial matter, but for Niu Youdao, it is really nothing, and he said happily: "No need to thank for a little thing." By the way, you can discuss this matter with Mr. Lan, he wants to use this to make a bad pit for your sister-in-law!"
Speaking of this again, Shang Shuqing was a little ashamed, but still nodded......
That night, Feng Ruonan's side noticed a situation, a horse came from the direction of Canglu County, and after being stopped by the guards, the other party reported that he was a person from Shang Chaozong, and someone from Shang Chaozong's side confirmed it. I don't know what news that person brought, anyway, after Shang Chaozong and Lan Ruoting and the others entered the tent, the lights in the tent seemed to be on all night, and they didn't know what they were plotting.
In the same situation, the monks of Nanshan Temple also noticed that Yuan Gang had already arranged these monks, and after collecting the situation, Niu Youdao was also informed here.
The next day, the group continued to hurry, and in the middle of the afternoon, they finally arrived at their destination and entered the territory of Canglu County.
The county commander Lu Linmao, the county Cheng Fang Mingzhao and others had already led the county government members and local well-known squires to rush to the mouth of the realm in advance to greet them.
After taking the above, Canglu County and the others politely saluted without saying anything, but Shang Chaozong, who was sitting on a tall horse, did not mean to dismount, and stared at everyone expressionlessly.
After everyone finished saluting, Shang Chaozong said coldly: "Can you be convicted?"
The people who were smiling were stunned, not to mention them, even Feng Ruonan and Niu Youdao were a little confused.
The county commander Lu Linmao arched his hand in surprise and said, "I don't know why the prince said this?"
Shang Chaozong: "As an official of the imperial court, he is corrupt and perverts the law, and as a local squire, he bullies the land and property, and bullies men and women, what crime should he be guilty of?"
Lu Linmao said solemnly: "Lord Wang, this must have been framed by someone. ”
Shang Chaozong didn't talk to them, and waved his hand, "Take them all!"
A group of guards jumped off the horse, and on the spot the county commander and the county Cheng and others were pressed to the ground and tied up, although the rest of the county government subordinates also had knives, but in the face of such wolf-like guards, how dare they resist, together with those squires, they were all forced to kneel on the ground honestly.
The sudden appearance of such a scene can be said to scare a group of people who came to greet them enough. Several little monks who didn't know which sect was in charge of collecting spiritual grass here were startled, and they were so frightened that they looked at this scene uncertainly, and the Shang Dynasty Sect didn't mean to move them.
Feng Ruonan and others are a little strange why the Shang Dynasty is in charge of this matter, although Canglu County is the fief of the Shang Dynasty, but it is only a fief, since the chaos of the princes of the Wu Dynasty, all countries have learned a lesson, the so-called fiefs are mostly nominal territories, to some extent enjoy the taxes of the fiefdom, the appointment power of officials has been attributed to the imperial court, the Shang Dynasty is higher than these local officials, but has no right to govern them.
The county commander Lu Linmao struggled and shouted: "Lord Wang, even if we are guilty, we should be tried and judged by the imperial court, how can the prince trespass!"
Shang Chaozong said indifferently: "On the merits of the matter, this king will report to the court! This king's fiefdom, how can it be that if you don't kill it, it's not enough for the people to be angry!" With a wave of his hand, "Cut it!"
Several guards raised their knives and fell, a few screams, blood burst out, and the heads of several chief officials of the county government fell to the ground.
The rest of the officials and squires never dreamed of this, and such a bloody scene frightened these people into a face like dirt and trembled.
Subsequently, all the local gentry who came from the scenery were detained, and Shang Chaozong left a part of the men and horses to escort them, and the rest quickly rushed to the county seat with him.
After arriving in the county seat, Feng Ruonan, Niu Youdao and others understood what Shang Chaozong wanted to do, not to eliminate violence and peace, but to directly control the entire Canglu County and completely eliminate the power of the imperial court.
As soon as he arrived in the county seat, Shang Chaozong had more than 1,000 people, and the old department of King Ning, which had already been arranged to lurk here, came out, and cooperated with the existing men and horses to take action, and almost all the homes of all officials in the entire county were raided. Although it is a newcomer, there are local people leading the way, the list is in hand, and the situation and route are very accurate. Obviously, Shang Chaozong and others had already prepared here, and after killing the county commander and the county Cheng and others, a ready-made team immediately emerged to fill the position.
In the county seat, some Feng Ruonan's people were borrowed, and the men and horses attacked everywhere, not only raiding the homes of those officials, but also raiding the shops related to those officials and squires.
At the same time, dozens of detachments of people rushed to various townships and localities in Canglu County to raid the homes of some squires, not giving those people a chance to breathe at all, and there was no reason to talk about it.
In the next few days, the entire Canglu County was in an uproar, and the newly appointed county commander Wu Fu and others did not have the permission of the imperial court at all, they were directly appointed by Shang Chaozong, and Shang Chaozong would not accept the appointment of the imperial court again when he arrived here. The newly appointed officials had the support of Shang Chaozong, made drastic rectifications, quickly put up a list to calm the people, distributed the fields of large families to the villagers, released some of the confiscated grain to relieve the victims, and collected some young and strong people with grain, and Shang Chaozong's subordinates quickly expanded thousands of people to assist, and quickly settled the situation in Canglu County.
After Bai Yao learned about Shang Chaozong's intentions, he also sent the news back, preparing to send some minor monks from Tianyumen to take over the collection of spiritual grass here.
The specific government affairs of Canglu County were handled by arranged manpower, and after leaving some people to assist, Shang Chaozong took the main force out of the city.
Not far from the county seat, in the mountains that echo with the county seat, there is a manor built by King Ning in his early years, which is not a problem to accommodate tens of thousands of people. The most important thing is that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, there is a certain guarantee of security, there are complex personnel entering and exiting the county every day, it is impossible to close the city, and it has penetrated into the hinterland of Qingshan County, and it has been transferred due to many reasons.
On the way, seeing a long line of truckloads of grain and grass, Niu Youdao approached Lan Ruoting and asked, "All this grain and grass were copied from those rich families?"
Lan Ruoting sighed: "How can the people have any surplus grain in their hands, and it is impossible for the grain and grass of so many people to always rely on the transportation of Guangyi County, and the supply will be cut off at any time, so it can only be started from those rich households who are not benevolent to the rich on weekdays, and the money and grain copied out at present are enough for the last year, as long as Canglu County is well governed and the taxes are stable, it will be able to turn over in the future." ”
Niu Youdao sighed: "It's better for you to come to the money quickly." ”
Lan Ruoting smiled bitterly: "This is also a matter of no choice, if the power of the imperial court is not cleared, if we don't completely control here, there will be no way to gain a foothold, there is no confidence without money and food, everyone must eat." ”
Niu Youdao: "It seems that you have been planning for a long time!"
Lan Ruoting: "It's not a long-term plan, if it weren't for the success of the marriage of the Taoist master, we wouldn't dare to take this move, since we have a good start, we naturally have to plan for the long term." ”
Niu Youdao: "Canglu County is in the hinterland of Qingshan County, surrounded by enemies on three sides, are you not afraid of fighting against the imperial court and standing on your own?"
Lan Ruoting: "On the way, the court made the first move, they are at a loss, this county should be a question, Tianyumen and Feng Lingbo did not oppose it, they relied on it, and the court did not dare to act rashly!" ”
Niu Youdao looked left and right, Feng Ruonan and Bai Yao and the others were not far away, and some things were really not good to say.
The manor on the mountain, I don't know if it is related to the background of King Ning with troops, or it was premeditated, and the building obviously has a military purpose.
Although it looks dilapidated and old, someone has already cleaned it up first, and it is no problem to move in directly.
The grain and grass were gathered in place, the people and horses were settled, it was getting late, and after dinner, Lan Ruoting took the initiative to keep Niu Youdao, and several people came to an underground stone room.
A picture had already been hung on the wall of the room, and Lan Ruoting, Shang Chaozong, and Shang Shuqing's brothers and sisters suddenly walked together and stood in a row, and bowed together in front of Niu Youdao and Yuan Gang.
Niu Youdao and Yuan Gang looked at each other, and Niu Youdao smiled dryly: "Three, why do you make this big gift?"
Shang Chaozong said with great emotion: "It's just a little thankful, the current situation is unimaginable when I left Beijing to get out of trouble, it is Dao Ye that you have made a plan to reopen the situation for this king, I can't thank you enough!"
Niu Youdao said: "I got my mind." Glancing around at the stone room, "It just doesn't seem necessary to come here to thank you, right?"
Lan Ruoting said: "When Dao Ye asked before, he obviously doubted why we were in such a hurry, and it was because Dao Ye's plan opened up the situation for us. Dao Ye said that Feng Lingbo is just a puppet, and it is still Tianyumen who really speaks, as long as the prince is valuable to Tianyumen, even if 100,000 crow soldiers do not exist, Tianyumen will not give up the prince, we deeply believe this. It is precisely from this that we have a new plan..."Turned around and walked to the map, and knocked on the location of Qingshan County on the map, "Seize Qingshan County and fight against Feng Lingbo, as long as the prince can show his strength and sit on the land of a county, Tianyumen will definitely not easily give up the fat in his mouth, nor will he give up the prince, and he will definitely support the prince like Feng Lingbo!"
