Five years as county magistrate, hundreds of millions of kilograms of grain shocked Li Shimin Chapter 142 If you have no money, I will demolish your home
Chapter 142 If you have no money, I will demolish your home
Chapter 142: If you don’t have money, I will demolish your home
Li Ji is here.
Come with his children.
With his arrival, an army of a thousand men stayed outside.
"Captain Li?!"
Cui Yuanting and others were shocked.
Subconsciously I felt something was wrong.
Li Ji was not called in their plan this time.
Because Li Ji was a member of the emperor's family and was not from the same group as them.
But why does it appear here?
Because of the emperor’s order?
No, it’s him!
"General Li, please come and pick me up personally."
Fang Yuan greeted him with a smile.
He also signaled Lai Yingzhe and others to put away their weapons.
With Li Ji in Bingzhou, there is no road that cannot be taken in Bingzhou.
No matter how Cui Yuanting and others block the way, they cannot block the way of a governor.
Du Miaoyan and Wang Shiyu also looked at Li Ji, and at this moment they felt like they had a sudden realization.
No wonder Fang Yuan is confident, it turns out there is a governor behind him.
But how on earth did he invite a governor?
But even so, if Cui Yuanting forcefully tried to slander Fang Yuan, it wouldn't be a solution, right?
"No hard work, just do your best to be a landlord."
Li Ji chuckled.
"What do you mean, Governor Li?"
"Are you going to intervene in my case?"
Cui Yuanting said in a deep voice.
Li Ji's arrival made him feel that his plan was disrupted.
And it was Fang Yuan who called him here, which made him feel even more unhappy.
On weekdays, Li Ji was in Bingzhou, and no matter how he asked the other party, he would always excuse himself by saying that something was wrong.
Today, it was the first time Fang Yuan came to Taiyuan Mansion in Bingzhou and he was called over. The comparison really made him angry.
"I dare not, may I ask what Governor Fang committed?"
Li Jigong cupped his hands and said calmly.
"Suspected of murder!"
Cui Yuanting said in a deep voice.
After the words fell, Du Miaoyan and Wang Shiyu became even more curious.
Faced with being slandered by Cui Yuanting and suspected of murder, neither of them could testify. Li Ji was not present and could not testify. How to save Fang Yuan?
"It was to exterminate the bandits and be considered to have killed the people by mistake."
Fang Yuan explained from the side.
"It turns out that this is the case. Governor Cui doesn't need to investigate."
"The people of this governor can testify that they did not kill the people by mistake."
Li Ji suddenly realized the truth.
As he said that, two people walked out of the security team.
"Tao Changhong, the commander of the Gale Battalion, pays homage to the governor and the governor Cui!"
Gale Camp is a military camp commanded by Li Ji.
Before Fang Yuan set off, he worked hard to write a letter to Li Ji.
In the letter, he asked Li Ji for two soldiers to prevent him from being wronged and unable to explain clearly.
Fang Yuan really guessed that he was really wronged. Fortunately, he had these two back-ups.
"Return to the team!"
Li Ji said calmly.
"Yes!"
Tao Changhong and another soldier left.
"Chief Cui, can I take Governor Fang and others away?"
Li Ji looked at Cui Yuanting and chuckled.
"They are armed with murderous weapons!"
Cui Yuanting looked ugly and said in a deep voice.
Damn it, my plan was discovered by Fang Yuan.
I feel like all my efforts are in vain.
Just now I thought I had the overall situation, but I was really embarrassed.
"Chief Cui misunderstood, we are sending weapons to General Li."
"I believe you all know that General Li is about to go to war in the East Turks, and his weapons need to be replaced."
Fang Yuan chuckled.
He signaled Lai Yingzhe and others to gather the weapons and hand them to Li Ji.
"Can you leave?"
Li Ji asked again.
"Okay!"
Cui Yuanting said with a cold face.
Lost, lost completely, defeated by Fang Yuan.
This time it may not be Fang Yuan who becomes the laughing stock of Hedong Dao, but himself.
Damn Fang Yuan, damn Li Ji, there is no way this matter can be settled like this.
"Chief Cui, I'm sorry, I made your trip in vain."
Fang Yuan smiled at Cui Yuanting.
"Prefect Fang, please be careful on your way back!"
"Captain Li, please win the next war!"
Cui Yuanting's face became even more gloomy.
He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
The warning contained in it could be heard by everyone present.
"Farewell!"
Fang Yuan chuckled disapprovingly.
Take Du Miaoyan and others out of the restaurant.
Pack up the fleet and be ready to leave here at any time.
"Farewell!"
Li Ji bowed his hands to Cui Yuanting and others and left.
Outside the restaurant, due to the arrival of the soldiers, there was no room for the people on the street, so they were forced to stay away.
When they saw Fang Yuan and others walking out safely, they were all surprised, and the strange comments appeared again.
Everyone left.
The army also left.
On the road.
"Fang Yuan, is this your back-up plan?"
Du Miaoyan approached Fang Yuan and sighed.
Li Ji, the governor of Bingzhou, led his troops to greet him.
There were also soldiers from Li Ji’s Gale Battalion who testified.
The arrangements were well made and all of Cui Yuanting's traps were broken.
It seems that there is not much difficulty, but it is very powerful to see through Cui Yuanting's trap in advance.
And he can also recruit a governor, which is something even his own father can't guarantee.
"How was it?"
"I said I won't do anything I'm not sure about."
Fang Yuan chuckled.
Follow Li Ji's army.
"Awesome!"
Du Miaoyan nodded heavily.
Awesome, very awesome.
After this battle, it is estimated that not many people would dare to laugh at Fang Yuan.
Everyone in the entire Bingzhou, or the entire Hedong Road must look at Fang Yuan again.
A man who is about to run amok in the thirteen counties of Bingzhou has left Cui Yuanting, the governor of Bingzhou, completely helpless.
Fang Yuan smiled and did not answer.
Soon, Fang Yuan and others followed Li Ji back to his military camp.
"Prefect Fang, would you like to have a couple of drinks before setting off?"
Li Jiyou said with a smile.
"No, if I drink two more drinks, I won't be able to leave until tomorrow."
Fang Yuan shook his head and refused Li Ji's kindness.
It's already mid-afternoon, and it might get dark after a few drinks.
"That's okay."
"According to your request, I asked Danqiu and Siwen to take five hundred soldiers to escort you to Xinzhou and then back to Liaozhou."
Li Ji did not force himself and asked Li Danqiu and Li Siwen to step forward.
Both of them were dressed in military uniforms at this time, the daughter was dashing and heroic, and the son was full of heroism.
From the appearance, Li Ji's two children are both good and bad, and his wife is probably also a rare beauty.
"Thank you, General Li."
Fang Yuan said gratefully.
But I also sighed lightly in my heart.
Li Ji's cooperation this time was based on the favor he received from last time.
If you want to ask Li Ji again in the future, it may not be so easy.
"After helping you escort the goods this time, it's time for me to set out to conquer the East Turks."
"Danqiu and Siwen are very naughty guys. I want to ask you to take care of them for a while."
Li Ji said righteously.
"War started?!"
Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed.
Fang Yuan is not sure when exactly the Tang Dynasty destroyed the Eastern Turks.
But the imperial court has been preparing for so long. The money earned from fine salt and tea should be enough to buy grain and grass, and it is time to start a war.
"It's just a matter of a month or two."
Li Ji nodded solemnly.
The national war is very stressful.
"Please rest assured, General Li."
Fang Yuan also nodded solemnly.
Li Danqiu and Li Siwen are not young anymore and do not need much care.
Probably Li Ji was worried that Cui Yuanting would frame the two of them if they stayed in Bingzhou.
But I guess not. Even if Cui Yuanting and others were brave enough, they would not dare to marry the children of frontline generals unless they were defeated.
"Don't make trouble!"
"Otherwise, be careful, Daddy will come back and beat you up!"
Li Ji looked at Li Danqiu and Li Siwen and said in a deep voice.
"I know."
Li Danqiu pursed his lips and said disapprovingly.
But Li Siwen is different, he should be respectful and respectful.
Not long after, Fang Yuan said goodbye to Li Ji and set off for Xinzhou.
With five hundred soldiers escorting us, we encountered no problems on the way.
In just two days, Fang Yuan and others reached the border between Bingzhou and Xinzhou.
"Fang Yuan, we can only send you here."
"Follow this road from here and you'll arrive at Xinzhou City in about an hour or two. We'll wait for you to come back here."
Li Danqiu and others stopped.
They are soldiers from Bingzhou and cannot enter Xinzhou without any reason.
"Okay, thank you."
Fang Yuan expressed his gratitude and led the team to continue setting off.
Xinzhou is very small, even smaller than Liaozhou, with only two small counties.
It is estimated that because of the development of Bingzhou, many people from Xinzhou go to Bingzhou to make a living.
As a result, Xinzhou's development was not good in the first place, but it became worse year by year because of the merger.
An hour later, Fang Yuan and others arrived at Xinzhou City.
Xinzhou City is relatively simple, and the flow of people in and out of the city gate is sparse, which is not as good as Liaozhou City.
The soldiers guarding the gates on both sides were also a little depressed. They seemed listless and did not check the people coming in and out.
"Enter the city."
Fang Yuan gave the order and the team continued to move forward.
At this time, the soldiers guarding the city saw the arrival of Fang Yuan and others.
"Stop!"
"What do you do?"
The city guard captain led the soldiers and walked towards Fang Yuan and others.
"The Liaozhou caravan brought red bricks to the Xinzhou governor."
Lai Yingzhe stepped forward, took out the transaction contract and said.
It has the seal and signature of the Xinzhou governor.
"What red brick?"
"Have you received the notice from the Governor?"
The city guard captain did not read the contract, but turned to look at the two followers.
"Come back to school, we didn't receive the notification."
The two soldiers answered loudly.
"You guys wait, I'll have someone confirm it."
The city guard captain looked back at Lai Yingzhe and said impatiently.
With that said, he asked one of his followers to leave and go to the Governor's Mansion to confirm the news.
"General, here is the contract certificate."
Lai Yingzhe raised the contract again and said.
"Who knows if it's fake?"
"If you bring so many things in with just one contract, how can we still be safe in Xinzhou City?"
The city guard captain said without even looking.
"Then please notify us as soon as possible to confirm."
Lai Yingzhe pondered for a moment and saluted to the other party.
Then go back and report to Fang Yuan, telling the truth.
"Fang Yuan, the city defenders should know about such an important matter in advance, right?"
After hearing this, Du Miaoyan frowned slightly and said.
Not long ago, everyone in Hedong Road was laughing at Fang Yuan.
As the instigator, Xinzhou should be more aware of this matter.
The captain of the city guard is not considered a low-level official, but an official in the middle and upper levels cannot possibly know this.
Therefore, the other party may not be ignorant, but deliberately ignorant, delaying time or making things difficult, etc.
"Dismount and rest, waiting for a stick of incense."
Fang Yuan pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice.
He also has speculations in this regard.
But when you are unsure, you have to give the other party some time.
Everyone dismounted and rested.
Although there are fewer people entering and exiting the city gate, there are still quite a few.
People coming in and out were curious when they saw such a long queue here.
Some bold people even approached deliberately to see what the red things in the cars were.
"This, isn't this a red brick?"
"I heard that our governor bought a large number of red bricks from Liaozhou!"
"Yes, yes, I heard that too, but didn't it mean that the red bricks were blocked in Bingzhou and couldn't get through?"
The people passing by were talking softly, and the security team heard it and reported it to Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan nodded to express his understanding, but did not act immediately. He still waited for a stick of incense before getting up.
"Didn't I tell you to inform you?"
Seeing that Fang Yuan and others were about to set off again, the city guard captain said impatiently.
"How long does it take to notify?"
Fang Yuan said expressionlessly.
"How do I know?"
"Just wait."
The city guard captain waved his hand to push Fang Yuan to leave.
But before his hand touched Fang Yuan, Xue Bowu grabbed his hand.
The captain guarding the city was not an ordinary person. He had practiced martial arts for several years and immediately wanted to shake off Xue Bowu's hand.
It's just that Xue Bowu's hands were like iron pliers, no matter how hard he shook them, he couldn't shake them off, and his face turned red for a while.
"Let go!"
The captain who defended the city shouted loudly.
The sound alerted other soldiers guarding the city, and they all rushed over.
"Isn't this the soldier we just checked? Why are you still here?"
Fang Yuan raised his eyebrows and found the soldier who had just been arranged to confirm among the soldiers.
The soldier was stared at by Fang Yuan, and his eyes suddenly became evasive, and he did not dare to look at Fang Yuan again.
"What the hell? I don't know what you are talking about. Let go!"
"If you don't let go, don't blame me for arresting you and sending you to state prison!"
The captain who defended the city struggled and roared.
The sound attracted more people to stop and look here.
"How dare you fool me?!"
Fang Yuan smiled coldly and kicked the captain of the city guard fiercely in the abdomen.
Xue Bowu also let go at this time, and the city guarding captain suddenly screamed and fell back.
"Presumptuous!"
"If you dare to kick the captain, go ahead!"
The other soldiers suddenly became furious.
Those who draw swords draw swords, and those who hold spears hold spears, and they are about to kill Fang Yuan.
"I think you are so presumptuous!"
Lai Yingzhe and others shouted loudly.
Three hundred people moved closer together.
Each of them holds a sword at his waist, with cold eyes.
The soldiers guarding the city in Xinzhou were immediately startled. There were only thirty of them.
Facing such a ferocious 300 people, they immediately knew that they were no match and did not dare to rush towards Fang Yuan and others.
"You, you want to rebel?!"
The captain who defended the city stood up and shouted inwardly.
"I am Fang Yuan, the governor of Liaozhou, and this is your contract as the governor of Xinzhou."
"What's your name? Do you know what will happen if you deliberately stop me?"
Fang Yuan took a step forward and said coldly.
As soon as the words fell, the soldiers and people at the scene changed into an uproar.
In recent days, the person who has spread the most widely is Fang Yuan, the governor of Liaozhou.
Some people say he is stupid, some say he has been demoted, some say he is useless, etc.
The latest news is that Fang Yuan personally led the team and was blocked in Bingzhou, unable to deliver goods to his door.
But now, the real person is right in front of them and personally delivers the red bricks. They are shocked and surprised.
"I, I..."
The captain's face changed and he was speechless.
He knew the inside story, otherwise he wouldn't have dared to stop Fang Yuan.
But it was also because he knew the inside story that Fang Yuan was afraid when he revealed his identity.
"Get out of the way."
Fang Yuan said coldly.
The soldiers blocking the front subconsciously retreated.
In their hearts, the governor is an unattainable existence.
"Fang, please invite the governor Fang."
When the city guard saw this, he did not dare to stop him.
It is already known to everyone that Fang Yuan, the governor of Liaozhou, personally delivered the red bricks.
He could block Fang Yuan when he pretended not to know his identity, but he didn't dare to block him again after Fang Yuan revealed his identity.
Fang Yuan glanced at him, snorted coldly, and led the transportation team into Xinzhou City.
The captain guarding the city was startled, thinking that Fang Yuan was going to punish him.
The people at the city gate watched and quickly spread the news.
Soon, Xinzhou City was boiling.
After entering Liaozhou City, Fang Yuan and others quickly knew the location of the Governor's Mansion.
When the motorcade stopped at the gate of Xinzhou Governor's Mansion, the two state officials guarding the gate were so frightened that they fled inside.
"Master, are they mice seeing cats?"
Lai Yingzhe chuckled.
Order the security team to unload the truck here.
Not long after, loads of red bricks were unloaded.
The red bricks were piled high, seven or eight meters long, as tall as an adult, completely blocking the entrance to the Governor's Mansion.
The people in Xinzhou City looked at this scene with great curiosity, wondering what the red bricks were used for.
During this process, no one from Xinzhou Mansion showed up, just like there was no one in the huge Governor's Mansion.
"Sir, the governor of Xinzhou is not here, and the chief minister said he doesn't know where he is."
Lai Yingzhe came back to report.
When he unloaded the car, he asked someone to go in and report.
"Oh, you're still hiding?"
Fang Yuan felt funny.
How did you come up with such childish behavior?
When Du Miaoyan on the side heard this, she felt it was funny and almost laughed out loud.
If the item is not delivered, you can claim that it was delayed and the goods will not be received and you will be asked for compensation.
But it would be strange to avoid receiving the goods after they are delivered.
Where else can the governor of a state go?
"You all go, spread the news, and gather at Xinzhou Governor Su's Mansion in half an hour."
"Let's say Fang Yuan, the governor of Liaozhou, personally delivered the goods, but he was blocked at the city gate first, and no one received the goods when he arrived at the governor's office. Is the governor of Xinzhou like this, or is everyone in Xinzhou like this?" p>
Fang Yuan pondered for a moment and chuckled.
"Yes."
Lai Yingzhe should arrange all the people to spread the news.
"Let's go, let's take a stroll and find out where the governor of Xinzhou lives."
Fang Yuan chuckled.
It’s here now, don’t be in a hurry to receive the money right away.
This is also my first time coming to Xinzhou to see the customs and customs here.
"This Xinzhou governor is also strange. He doesn't care about his reputation?"
Du Miaoyan followed and smiled silently.
"I feel strange too."
"Bo Wu, what do you think is the reason?"
Fang Yuan smiled and said.
Once the goods are delivered, it is impossible to escape the payment.
If you are an ordinary businessman, you can leave secretly and hide far away.
But as the governor of a state, he cannot leave the state and county under his jurisdiction for too long.
Could it be that for the sake of those three hundred copper coins, you don’t even want the official position of governor?
That's impossible.
"I have no money."
Xue Bowu scratched his head and said sarcastically.
"No money?"
"It seems possible!"
Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan looked at each other and thought it was possible.
The total price of this batch of red bricks is 600 guan. The deposit of 300 guan has been paid, but there is still 300 guan left.
Six hundred guan should not be a problem for a governor, but maybe, it is not a small amount after all.
After wandering for half an hour, Fang Yuan and others felt tired, and finally stopped at the door of Xinzhou Governor's mansion, and even brought stools to sit on.
The mansion of Su Yingjie, the governor of Xinzhou, is quite grand. Although it is not as good as Fang Yuan's mansion in Liaozhou City, it is still one of the best in Xinzhou City.
At this time, the entire Xinzhou City knew that Fang Yuan had personally delivered the goods, and also knew that Fang Yuan was deliberately blocked outside the city gate, and no one accepted the goods.
For a time, the mood of the people in Xinzhou was a little high. They were very dissatisfied with the appearance of Fang Yuan and others, and threatened to drive Fang Yuan and others out.
But there are also those who feel ashamed. They didn’t expect that their governor would be such a person. They dare to do it but don’t dare to do it.
After spreading the news, Lai Yingzhe and others met with Fang Yuan and gathered at the door of the Xinzhou governor.
Three hundred people gathered at the gate of Su Mansion, once again causing shock among the people.
Similarly, no one came out of Su Mansion.
"Go ahead."
Fang Yuan glanced at the sky and said calmly.
It's already application time, so you have to get the money and go back early.
"Yes!"
Lai Yingzhe should be.
Immediately gather two hundred people and go to Su Mansion.
"What?"
"This is the governor's residence!"
The guard guarding the gate stopped.
"Get out!"
Lai Yingzhe stepped forward and punched him.
The guard guarding the door immediately spurted out blood.
The other one was not much better and was kicked away by other security guards.
The security team captured the Su Mansion and advanced into the interior of the Su Mansion. They were all in within a short time.
Suddenly, there was a mixed noise inside Su Mansion.
The people who were watching the situation were suddenly startled, and their voices became much quieter when they talked about Fang Yuan.
Among the crowd of common people, Su Yingjie, the governor of Xinzhou in official uniform, suddenly walked out, with shame and anger on his old face.
"Prefect Fang, what do you mean by allowing your subordinates to break into my residence?"
Su Yingjie said as he walked.
At nearly sixty years old, his pace is a bit slow.
Behind him were several people, also wearing official uniforms.
"Oh, Governor Su showed up?"
"I thought you were hiding and didn't dare to come out to see me."
Fang Yuan did not answer, but said with a half-smile.
"Absurd!"
"I have never escaped, I just didn't know you were coming."
Su Yingjie's face became even more ashamed, but he quickly covered it up and scolded.
"So that's it."
"Please ask Governor Su to sign and give the money."
Fang Yuan didn't bother to poke him, so he took out the contract and said.
"You ask the people inside to stop first!"
Su Yingjie's expression froze and he said in a deep voice.
He hated Fang Yuan so much that he used such rogue methods to force himself out.
How dare he do such a illegal thing by allowing his subordinates to break into the governor's mansion of a state?
Aren't you worried that you will break your face and mobilize all the state officials in the city to keep him?
At this time, the noises and the cries of women and children could still be faintly heard in the Su Mansion.
"Go and ask them to stop first."
Fang Yuan pondered for a moment and signaled the security guard to inform the situation.
After a while, the noise in the Su Mansion became quieter and finally disappeared.
"Give me money."
Fang Yuan shook the contract in his hand and said.
"No, no money."
"Please ask Governor Fang to wait for a while."
Su Yingjie's old face became even more embarrassed and angry.
"No money?"
Fang Yuan raised his eyebrows and looked at Du Miaoyan.
Is Xue Bowu really right? The dignified governor really has no money?
Su Yingjie nodded and looked towards the Su Mansion, wanting to go back and see what was going on inside.
"If you don't have money, then I will demolish your home."
Fang Yuan pulled Su Yingjie and said coldly.
Su Yingjie's eyes turned cold, and huge anger and shame welled up in his heart.
