After Jin Yiwei brought in the man who asked to see him outside the government office, Zhu Ling found that this man's face was a little pale. It was not the kind of weakness after a serious illness, but clearly the kind of weakness caused by excessive physical condition. Could it be that this man often went in and out of Feng Yue?
Place? I couldn't help but become more curious about this person.
I have never seen a person who likes romantic places have the courage to come and meet me. Maybe this person might actually have some ability to let me get some money.
This man did not dare to look directly at Zhu Ling. After he came in, he was extremely restrained and immediately knelt down and said loudly: "The king of the people Yangguang bows to your Majesty, long live, long live, long live."
"Your name is Wang Yangguang?"
"Exactly, Your Majesty." Wang Yangguang did not dare to raise his head and answered in a very low tone, which could only be heard.
"Tell me, why do you insist on meeting me?"
"The common people can contribute a sum of money to your Majesty's army." Wang Yangguang also spoke to the emperor for the first time in his life. Before, he had only met a seventh-grade official at most, which was not a small thing for him. Today, he met directly
When the masters of all the officials arrived, they were naturally trembling and did not dare to speak nonsense.
"Do you want to reward my army for me?" Zhu Ling looked at Wang Yangguang who was also very interesting. His voice was so trembling, but his words were such big words.
"Young people don't dare." Wang Yangguang quickly denied it. Although he was stupid, he could still clearly distinguish the seriousness of this kind of thing. He quickly said: "Young people want to make some contributions to the Ming Dynasty and contribute a little to destroy the intruders.
.”
"Then tell me, what can you do? Do you know that my army gets one hundred thousand taels of silver a month, but you look like this and your family has one hundred thousand?" It's not that Zhu Ling looks down on him, it's just that he looks down on him now.
He doesn't look like a rich man with this kind of appearance. Moreover, his army is all heavy cavalry, and the daily requirement for war horses alone is quite large.
Furthermore, Guan Ningjun was the private soldier of Wu Sangui and Gao Di before, and was very loyal to them. Now that they are here, if the treatment is not good enough, they will leave sooner or later. Therefore, the first thing to stabilize them is money.
The second thing is merit.
"Although I don't have one hundred thousand silver in my family, I know where I can get eight hundred thousand." Wang Yangguang was very determined before he said this. They were not willing to help him anyway, and even thought about it.
If you kick yourself out, don't blame him for being cruel.
"Then tell me."
"Before I speak, I would like to ask your majesty to pardon my sins." Wang Yangguang is not a fool. If he says it directly, even if he is not held accountable now, he will definitely not be able to escape whenever he is mentioned in the future. It is better to let your majesty pardon him first.
"Of course you can."
"The common man has two good friends, but they are just good friends. One of them is named Li Yutian, and his family is a businessman. The other is called Ma Jingfu, who is the nephew of Ma Kui, the previous magistrate of the state. He hid when Ma Kui was killed.
He got up and has been drinking with a few of us all day long."
Wang Yangguang became more and more energetic as he spoke, as if the two of them were being whipped by him as he spoke.
"One day, they contacted a counselor under the bandits, named Gan Yangze. That man tried to hook up with a few of us and act as internal agents when the bandits attacked the city, and then cooperated with the inside and outside to capture Cangzhou. This Gan Yangze united again
There is an army of 20,000 invaders from Nanpi County in the south. They plan to attack the city directly and then capture His Majesty and deliver him to the invaders."
After hearing this, Zhu Ling raised the corner of his mouth and smiled. This plan was quite good. Capturing himself and giving it to the intruder was a great achievement, but why this person came to inform him was a question.
"Then why did you ignore this great achievement and come to me to tell the truth? Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
"To be honest with you, Your Majesty, Gan Yangze said that if he wanted the 20,000 invaders to attack the city, he must give 800,000 silver. The villain was given 200,000, but the family has long been in decline and there is no such money.
. I went to borrow it from Ma Jingfu, but he didn’t know if he didn’t want to borrow it, but he said he didn’t want to borrow it in the first place, and said that without me, their contribution would naturally be greater.” He became more and more angry, feeling like he was
It's like being abandoned.
"The people are really angry, so they tell His Majesty what happened to them."
An expression of sudden realization appeared on Zhu Ling's face. This Wang Yangguang is indeed a talent. He said it all in one breath, and it seemed that he didn't hide anything. If you say that he is greedy for life and afraid of death, and dares to secretly make a living to capture himself, he is also a bold person. However,
Maybe he indulged too much, but his brain didn't work very well.
Not only him, but Wang Jiayan and Huang Bodang standing on both sides couldn't bear to look at Wang Yangguang. This boy is too stupid. He dared to reveal all about the secret plan to capture His Majesty. Even if you say it, you will leave yourself alone.
Clear.
"Your Majesty, I think what Wang Yangguang said is true. Why don't we immediately send the Jin Yiwei to arrest the people, and then completely cut off their contact with the invading army. I think once the invading army cannot contact them, it will
There are no plans to attack the city." Wang Jiayan immediately stood up and said to Zhu Ling.
"I second the proposal." Huang Bodang also stood up and said.
However, after finally getting such an opportunity, Zhu Ling didn't want to miss it. First of all, it was about the silver. Since he said he could get 800,000 taels of silver, he naturally couldn't give up this opportunity. Secondly, he had always been puzzled as to why Tian Zu
Xiang Yang personally led his troops to raid Ma Kui's home, but in the end he only got less than 10,000 taels of things.
Zu Xiangyang was definitely not one to commit corruption. When he ransacked his house, he secretly sent Jin Yiwei to monitor him. Today, it seems that all the treasury money went into the pocket of Ma Kui's nephew Ma Jingfu.
Then if we follow what Wang Jiayan said, we can indeed solve the crisis of the siege. But this group of thieves will continue to cause trouble to other states and counties. It is better to take this opportunity to destroy them. Let the officials and people of Shandong
Recognize the power of the imperial court again.
"Wang Yanguang!" Immediately, he shouted sharply at Wang Yonggang.
"The little people are here."
Wang Yangguang quickly lowered his head.
"I will give you two hundred thousand taels of silver first, and you can be an undercover agent for me. Get me all the information about this intruder, including where it is stationed, when it will attack, where it will attack from, etc.
Can you do it?" Zhu Ling looked at him and said.
"It's okay, Xiaomin." Wang Yangguang really didn't expect that he originally planned to report, but why did he go back?
"Of course, I will not treat you badly." Zhu Ling also restrained his tone and said: "Tell me, whatever reward you want, as long as it is not excessive, I can satisfy you."
As soon as he heard that His Majesty was going to give him a reward, his originally bitter face suddenly brightened up with joy, and he immediately said: "Your Majesty, I am not greedy as a commoner, I just want a hereditary official position, seventh rank is fine, that's fine."
"I'll give you a seventh-grade colleague, but remember, you have no real power, but you are treated well and can be hereditary. Are you satisfied?"
