Chapter 67 Ordnance (1)

Although Zhao Jiuxiong is not familiar with literature, as an old man, he has his own instinctive understanding of things, and he immediately thought about what important cases might be involved in this.

Moreover, the relationship between these people is Jin Daxiangtou. If there is a problem with them, it is Jin Daxiangtou. If there is a problem with Jin Daxiangtou, will he have the opportunity to make up for it? So at this time, he will not repair the Cao Gang, but will only destroy it.

"Jiu Master, you are worthy of being an old man. You are indeed a good person. Those people not only have problems, but also have serious problems. They are involved in a major case of rebellion. Tell me, is this case big and is this business big?"

Yang Chengzu took out a post, read the content on it, and finally said: "When the White-Clothed Army raised its troops, they also sent an edict everywhere. It is said that the manifesto was posted all the way to the capital, which made people feel uneasy. Today, you friends, this method is no different from that of the White-Clothed Army. I don't need to say more about the dangers of this matter."

Zhao Jiuxiong was also shocked when he heard this. He didn't even rub the iron gallbladder. "Be good, Jin Changling is going to be crazy. How dare he collude with rebels? This is a serious crime of raiding the house and extermination of the clan. Our Cao Gang will not tolerate him."

The canal gang and the rebels are two forces that are incompatible. When the White-clothed Army revolt, it burned dozens of canal ships and robbed several canal grains. The hatred between them is no less than that between the government and the white-clothed bandits.

For the Ming Dynasty, the Cao Gang was a companion gang of the court. It was precisely because of the existence of the Ming Dynasty that the existence of the Cao Gang was meaningful. Therefore, at this stage, this gang did not need to rebel and rebellion. From the gang, he was naturally opposed to the rebellion.

Jin Changling was in charge of Longmen. As the inspector of the Longmen Inspection Department, he was a ninth-rank official and the incense owner of the Henan branch of the Cao Gang.

The rank of the Cao Gang is quite different from that of ordinary gangs. In a province, the rudder is the largest, which is probably because the boat is on the water, and the rudder is the highest within the rudder. Because when opening the incense hall to worship the ancestors, the incense master burns a stick of incense, which represents the most respected status among the gangs.

Jin Changling relied on his official body to socialize with the government and mastered the Longmen Waterway. He was afraid that there would be no more than tens of thousands of taels of silver every year. He was also considered the first hero on the Henan Waterway. No matter how Zhao Jiuxiong disliked him, he knew that with his own wealth, he could not beat him.

Two years ago, Jin Changling fell in love with Zhao Jiuxiong's daughter and wanted to take her as a side house. Zhao Jiuxiong thought that Jin Changling was too old and did not agree. It was a feud. This time, he would not let it go. When he heard that it was a treason, he threw away his courage. "If you catch these rebels, my Cao Gang is willing to be a pioneer. I have recently taken some new brothers, and they all have the courage to fight to the death. As long as you give orders, I will organize them to take the people."

"No rush, I guess Jin Daxiangtou may not really want to rebel. Maybe these people are men in the world, they are friends with your Cao Gang, and the Cao Gang is also deceived. As long as you actively remedy it, my Jinyiwei will not make things difficult for you."

When Zhao Jiuxiong heard what he said, his expression changed a few times, and suddenly said, "If you find out that Jin Changling smuggled firearms and armor, can he be nailed to death as a criminal of rebellion?"

"How many firearms and armors are there? Where can I get them?" When Yang Chengzu heard these two things, he was smart. The Ming Dynasty is not very strict in weapons. Most folk warriors have swords and swords. However, it is still prohibited to hold powerful crossbows, firearms, iron armor, flags and other objects, as well as various long soldiers. There are still no such things in the Jianghu people. Among them, iron armor and firearms are more important than strong crossbows, and almost whoever dies.

Since the White-clothed Thief Rebellion, the Ming Dynasty strictly prevented civil rebellion. Even the people in the Jianghu brought weapons mostly to carry short-term soldiers. If anyone dared to bring long-term soldiers to the Jianghu, they would either have a strong way, or they would be taken by the government before they arrived. This was just swords, guns, etc., firearms, iron armor, which was enough to confiscate the family.

Zhao Jiuxiong was also determined to take this opportunity to get rid of Jin Changling. Besides, he was afraid that the trouble would be a big deal and would involve himself.

"This matter is also the source of wealth for our Cao Gang. You also know that it is more convenient for our Cao boat to carry goods than ordinary boats. Generally, the official army will not check it. We have a relationship in the navy camp. A few days ago, there were great nobles in the Jiangnan area who wanted to buy weapons and gold bricks. They had their own way in the military guards and could get the goods. However, after receiving the goods, they had to pass through our Cao boat to transport them to the ground."

"To be honest, it's not like this that we transported forbidden objects, but this kind of forbidden object was too serious, and we were a little vague. Jin Daxiangtou gave an order to help transport goods. Of course, brothers from all walks of life have gained a lot of benefits and have done a lot of business. Take me as an example, I have also transported more than once. But when you say this rebellion, I am not sure. We just want to make some money, but I never thought of opposing the court."

"Does Jiu Ye still have ships transporting weapons in his hands? If this case is completed, a great contribution will come. At that time, I will definitely ask for merit for Jiu Ye and protect you from your fame."

When Zhao Jiuxiong heard about his fame, his eyes lit up. He had money in his hands and could manage some official positions. However, such official positions are generally very weak, and if you want to buy them, you have to try your best to fix the joints. The cost of clearing is often greater than that of an official. If you make this contribution, then the awarding of an official will be real.

And he also has his own plans, "This is a lot of money for transporting weapons, but if the Caogang wants to survive, the first thing is to be peaceful in the world. If smoke and swords and weapons move around, where can we make money? I am now a person with a family, a business, a property and a shop. What I want now is a peaceful world. If a war is fought, people like me will definitely be unlucky. So I hope there are more victims, and the more victims, the more I can make money. But I will also provide disaster relief. Many people in the coolies on the dock call me Zhao Shanren. Of course, this is not because I am good, but because I know that those victims will find their own way. Whether they are smashing the grain or robbing things, their final goal will choose rich people like us. I give up porridge because I want to protect myself, and it has nothing to do with good or bad."

Yang Chengzu raised his thumbs up, "Jiu Ye, you are so old that you really admire the younger generation like me. You have a good brain and a clear mind. You will definitely be able to take charge of the Henan waterway in the future and achieve a great cause."

"I dare not say that big things are not big things. I just want to not involve me in this matter. I know how big the case of the military is. If it weren't for your good intentions, I would have ruined it in my heart. I treat you as my son-in-law and will help you, otherwise I would not take this risk. I know the style of your government. Maybe if the case is solved in the future, I will take me to prison and speak."

"Master Jiu, you said this to me. If I do this, then what kind of face will I have to mess around on the street? Stop saying that transporting weapons is not your idea. Even if it is your idea, I have to wash you out. In fact, this is a good thing. Taking this time, I will completely clean up your previous few armaments. This is a good opportunity. Let me ask you first, is there any nails you want to pull out in the branch of Hua County?"

"Nails? The nails were almost pulled a few years ago. Now there are only a few subordinates who need to be used. They are all smart and capable young men, who are both aggressive and motivated. They are my good subordinates."

"Then choose the youngest, best kung fu, most motivated and most hopeful to inherit your foundation. I believe you will prepare evidence. As for other matters, I will leave it to me to handle it quickly."
