In Fucheng, Hejian Prefecture, the richest man in Tianjin, Juren Yu Xuanjin, was sitting in the second hall of his house, discussing "big things" with Du Zeren, a military official from Henan Province.
The two people retreated, leaving only two people sitting in the lobby of Nuo University to ensure that what they were talking about would not be leaked.
"Du Bingbei, Thief Li has stepped up inspections at Tianjin City Gate these days. Our people can't get in."
Du Zeren took a breath and said, "Isn't it possible that no one can get into Tianjin now?"
Yu Xuanjin said: "It is easy to go in empty-handed, but it is difficult to bring in fire dragon bullets. Now even if it is a fist-sized box, the soldiers at the city gate have to open it for inspection. Forty fire dragon bullets cannot be brought in at all.
.”
Du Zeren looked panicked and said, "Forget it, don't do this anymore. If Li Zhi catches you, you will end up confiscating your family and exterminating your clan."
Yu Xuanjin was very unwilling and said: "We can't kill Li Zhi, but he will collect taxes on our fields!"
Du Zeren shook his head and said, "Mr. Yu, you don't know yet, do you? News came from Jinan yesterday that Li Zhi invaded Jinan and killed hundreds of people because Wang Gongbi, the governor of Jinan, blocked his cotton supply.
Even the governor was killed. Now that Li Zhi no longer has the emperor or the court in his eyes, he can do whatever he wants. We two rich men can't fight him!"
After hearing Du Zeren's words, Yu Xuanjin was stunned for a long time and asked sarcastically: "He even dares to kill the governor?"
Du Zeren said: "Let's not take action. Li Zhi has already killed five families because of the assassination. Our fields have been requisitioned, so they have been requisitioned. Those cunning servants who devoted themselves to us at the beginning want to leave with the fields.
Just let them leave. The land will be less, but in this world, we will be lucky to save our lives!"
Yu Xuanjin was still unwilling to give in, and said harshly: "Li Zhi attacked Jinan and killed the governor. Isn't this rebellion? The court won't kill him?"
Du Zeren said impatiently: "Mr. Yu, what kind of world is this now? How many states and counties did a murderer like Zhang Xianzhong attack and how many court officials were killed? Even the Fengyang Imperial Tomb was dug up! Didn't the court want to recruit him at that time?
?Now that Li Zhi has a strong army and a strong horse, he destroyed Zhang Xianzhong while talking and laughing, how can the imperial court not recruit him?"
"As long as Li Zhi doesn't attack the capital, the imperial court will finally appease him!"
After all, Du Zeren had been a soldier, and his judgment on the situation of the court was much better than that of Yu Xuanjin, so he became very impatient. He stood up and said: "Master Yu, the assassination matter is over. You should never mention it again."
Yes. You have to pay some taxes, lose some fields, and have fewer servants. These are all external things. Don’t take risks because of them and fall behind."
Yu Xuanjin was sitting on a chair with a gloomy face, holding his mouth with his hand, as if he was thinking about advancement and retreat.
Du Zeren looked at Yu Xuanjin's appearance, sighed, and was about to go out when he suddenly heard a loud bang from the yard outside. It seemed that someone had knocked open the door of Yu's house.
Several loud roars came from outside the door:
"Xingguo Bohu Benshi takes people!"
"The landlord of Hejian Prefecture, Yu Xuanjin, killed three tribes!"
"Du Zeren, the landlord of Hejian Mansion, behead him!"
"Kneel down for those who don't care! Lest the guns have no eyesight and hurt innocent people!"
When Du Zeren heard this roar, his face turned pale with shock and his whole body started to tremble. He staggered back a few steps, fell to the ground with a plop, and said miserably: "It's over, Li Zhi has found out about us."
When Yu Xuanjin heard the roar in the yard, he jumped up from his chair like an arrow and ran away to the back door of the backyard.
But he only walked ten steps when he heard a bang and the door to the backyard was broken open. Xing Guobo's Huben master shouted in the backyard: "Xing Guobo, Huben master, take someone!"
"Everyone kneel down! Lest the guns have no eyesight and hurt innocent people!"
Yu Xuanjin staggered back a few steps, opened his mouth wide, and his face was pale.
Not long after, two Tiger Divisions from the front and back kicked open the front and rear doors of the second hall and rushed into the house with rifles in hand.
Han Jinxin, the ambassador of the shogunate's secret guard, was dressed in black attire, tiger boots and a cloak on his back. He walked into the second hall covered with dust. He glanced at the two people in the hall and asked coldly: "Which one is this?"
Yu Xuanjin?"
A servant of the Yu family who was following Han Jinxin pointed at Yu Xuanjin and said, "That's the fat one!"
Yu Xuanjin glared at the servant, rushed up and shouted: "Yu Ba, are you eating the inside out?! I'll beat you to death!"
But before he could take a step, he was kicked in the stomach by a soldier from the Huben Division and fell to the ground.
The servant named Yu Ba laughed several times and shouted angrily: "Yu Xuanjin, my name is Wang Ruomei, not your Yu Ba. You killed my parents and took over my family's land seven years ago.
, I swore to kill you. You were always on guard against me, but you didn’t know that I knew about your attempt to assassinate Uncle Xing Guo, right?”
That Wang Ruomei was so proud of her revenge that she threw her head up and burst into laughter.
Wang Ruomei laughed a few times, pointed at Yu Xuanjin and said, "Yu Xuanjin, how many people have you harmed in these years by colluding with the prefect? You, the Yi tribe, deserve to die today!"
Yu Xuanjin clutched his stomach and collapsed on the ground. He looked at the soldiers of the Huben Division with guns and ammunition beside him and couldn't get up.
Not long after, soldiers from outside rushed in, and North Korea and South Korea Jin Xinhui reported: "Ambassador, Yu Xuanjin's father, brother and son have all been captured."
Han Jinxin smiled coldly and said lightly: "Okay, we will take him to Caishikou at noon and behead him!"
When Du Zeren saw Han Jinxin was about to leave, he knelt on the ground with a thud and shouted: "Han is directing this matter, I didn't do anything bad, I'm innocent!"
Han Jinxin smiled and asked, "Why are you innocent?"
Du Zeren kept kowtowing and said loudly: "Yu Xuanjin asked me to do evil with him many times, but I always advised him not to do it. Just now, I repeatedly told him not to do it. I am devoted to Uncle Xing Guo
Ah! Every time Yu Xuanjin comes to me for discussion, I always refuse!"
Han Jinxin smiled and said: "Yu Xuanjin asked you to come up with five people. Haven't you already selected the candidates in the mansion and are you waiting to take action?"
Du Zeren was stunned when he heard Han Jinxin's words. He didn't expect that Han Jinxin was so knowledgeable that he had already infiltrated into his own family and even knew about his selection of five grenadiers.
Du Zeren suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, trembling all over.
Han Jinxin said with a smile: "You rich men are too young to fight with Uncle Xing Guo! Seeing that you are only tempted but do not take action, I will not kill your whole family. After you die, I will allow your family to
Collect the body for you!"
Du Zeren could not speak, his whole body collapsed and he lay on the ground.
Han Jinxin laughed a few times, probably because he had done too much secretly collecting intelligence, and his laughter was sinister. He looked at Du Zeren, flicked his cloak, and led the soldiers out of the Yu's courtyard.
