Chapter 65: Unannounced Investigation (2)

"In this way, there will be a good brother. If you need personnel, the people in our yamen will cooperate with you. Just say how many people you use, I will give you it. But you know their abilities and are not good at doing this. As for the military guards, I can't count on it. Now I am afraid that if this manifesto is true, and if there are really rebels and riots, we, Hua County, will be difficult to block the enemy's attack."

The Ming Dynasty's military and guards in Henan were not strong. Not to mention that the military and guards are now in abolition, but when the military and guards in Hongwu and Yongle were prosperous, Henan was also famous. There were many people and poor places, and the resources were not enough to support soldiers. As soon as the military and guards were established, the military and guards in Henan were weak, and now they are completely useless.

Although there is a hundred households in the county, and there should be one hundred military soldiers available, a few years ago, when the white-clothed thieves were in trouble, even twenty soldiers in the county could not come out. If they encounter battle formations, they still have to rely on patrol archers. Such grassroots township soldiers are the main force, otherwise they will have to issue the civilians and hire brave men.

After the incident of Xiangman's tickets, Zhang Jiayin became more detailed. He was afraid that he would be plotted against him, so he attached great importance to the release and asked Yang Chengzu: "Do you want me to send a official letter to the Henan Governor's Office and ask Futai to send a soldier down."

"The problem is how do you write this official letter? After all, we haven't even seen anyone. This official letter is unforgivable." Yang Chengzu shook his head, "Brother, this time the matter is evil. Wars in Huguang are very common. There are dozens of chieftains. You beat me and I will beat you. I'm not surprised that there are military disasters in Huguang. But this time, it's obviously not as simple as military disasters. My brother is a scholar and has more knowledge than me. You should be able to see the tricks inside."

He told the news that he had heard at Ruxian Teahouse again, and Zhang Jiayin nodded and said, "Yes, I can really see the tricks here. Our Ming Dynasty has finally been quiet for a few years, but it is probably going to be messed up again. Many of the contents involved palace bans, but they were not done by Zhao Sui and others back then. This time, I am afraid that there will be a few amazing people involved."

The two looked at each other and didn't say anything, but they all understood each other's meaning very well. There must be some great figures in this matter. If the country of the Ming Dynasty is now orthodox, it will be calculated from the line of the King of Yan. I wonder when King of Yan was in trouble, he was also a big man who finally took the country into his hands?

Yang Chengzu had basically concluded that these methods were inseparable from King Ning, but how to say such words was a problem. He could not hold Zhang Jiayin's neck and say that we have definite evidence that King Ning was about to rebel, so we had to prepare early.

In fact, King Ning now has a very good reputation in the court and the country. He is known as a wise king. He is also very close to his court officials. If he says he rebels, he will be able to die faster than King Ning.

"Don't worry too much, brother. Our Hua County is a small place, and big people should not have the heart to pay attention to it. I think whether it is the people or the rumors, the Zuo just takes advantage of it. Their goal must not be here. We can only grasp this acre of three-point land, but we can't help thinking about other things."

Zhang Jiayin smiled bitterly and said, "I also want to be as free and easy as you say, but things are easy to do, and it is not something you don't think about. If you don't want anything else, just say that these refugees are just eating. Now there are a few rich families who are willing to open porridge sheds to provide relief. This is certainly a good thing. But if they stop the relief, it will be difficult to open so many mouths. What's more, what I'm worried about now is the Yellow River. We are near the Yellow River. Once the Yellow River collapses, the refugees will not be like this at that time."

It was difficult to be an official in the Ming Dynasty. Take the governor of Henan as an example. If you want to be a good military officer of the eight prefectures in Henan, you must have a good friendship with the Dragon King, otherwise you will not have a seal. When you see the water season, where can you resist floods and where you want to escape famine in the whole county, it depends on God's expression.

Yang Chengzu said: "If someone encourages it at this moment, it is most likely to have problems. But don't worry, brother. We two brothers join forces and are not afraid of not being able to deal with these juniors. I will press down on the rumor first. If you catch someone, you will send it to your yamen. Please don't be polite and give them a few hundred pieces before you talk about it."

He said goodbye and first went to the teahouse. He learned that the merchants had already lived in the shop. The leader had not given up on Ruxian yet. Not only did he leave three times the amount of tea, but he actually agreed to come tomorrow and ask Ruxian to take him to see the shop, and leave his inn name.

Ruxian smiled and said, "If this guy had met me a few years ago, he would use all the money he had to ask him to do here, and finally beg for food." She was afraid that Yang Chengzu would taste good, so she explained, "Actually, I have never said half of the extra words to him. Somehow, he decided to me, but this is also a strange thing."

Yang Chengzu said: "This is not a strange thing. If Sister Xian is so arrogant, it would be a strange thing if he is not moved. But if he dares to make a decision, he deserves to be unlucky. Come on, the young guys and I go to the store room to get people."

He brought Wang Tietou and others, and more than a dozen other Cao Gang Junyu shouted. When he bumped into the shop, the Hunan merchants were looking for a few pink heads to make fun of them. They were furiously hooked by the immortal during the day, and they couldn't help but want to be happy, but they were shot in by Jinyi. Those guests had the most common dealing with official officers and had never had any contact with Jinyiwei. When they saw this group of official schools, they were so scared that they were scattered. They didn't even care about their pants, and they were so scared that they knelt on the ground begging for mercy.

Yang Chengzu gave an order and pulled several people into the Jinyi Little Banner with a rope. Without saying a word, he ordered to start fighting. The board here was exactly the same as the bamboo boards in the county government. The young and strong young people were all young and strong. The ones who beat the board with wind, and the beaten several merchants howled.

After dozens of slaughter, Yang Chengzu asked, "You are so brave that you dare to incite the people to rebel, saying, are they white-clothed thiefs, White Lotus Sect, or spy sent by the Northern Lu? Whoever dares not tell the truth, I will let him see what an official law is like a furnace!"

These merchants are all doing business. When have they seen such a situation? They only feel that the things they encounter in their lives are not as dangerous as this. Even if they encounter thieves on the way of business, they seem to be easier to deal with than Jinyi. They beg for mercy and said, "Good man, please spare my life. We are all good people. We have never joined the White Lotus Sect, nor have we ever interacted with the White Lotus Thief. When we pay money, we are willing to pay our lives."

"Don't worry about asking for money, let's talk about it first. Today, in Ruxian Teahouse, where did you hear those rude words? There are some untrue words, hum..."

The merchants hurriedly said, "This official, those words are what we saw in our hometown. The streets and alleys are everywhere, and some people say that they should be widely publicized to reveal the truth of the Ming Dynasty and not let the people be fooled. We just heard that it was not compiled by ourselves. The master will investigate it clearly."

In this way, is this news spreading very quickly in Huguang? Yang Chengzu frowned. This kind of spread is by no means a private act. There must be a strong organization behind it to promote this matter, otherwise it would not be so big. And maybe there are people in Huguang's local governments, otherwise this kind of spreading force would have been dealt with by the government long ago.

I'm afraid there are quite a lot of people and things involved in this incident. Seeing that he didn't say anything, the merchants hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Master, we are really wronged. Please let us go. We still have to do business."

"Business? You don't need to do any business recently, and your capital is confiscated for the time being. As for you, I suspect that you are related to the major case of rebellion. I will give me a few days to rest in the cell first, and I will say anything. I dare to compete with my official for women, so I'm tired of living!"
