Keyboard Immortal - 277. Chapter 276
At the beginning, the purpose of the establishment of the river prevention seizure was that large rivers were flooded all the year round, and a large number of civilians needed to be recruited to repair dikes to prevent floods. In addition, some water transportation projects also required migrant workers to excavate.
Because many of the peasant uprisings in the past have broken out among the people who dealt with the floods, the gathering of such a large group of people is really a hidden danger, so the court set up a special river defense camp to supervise these, and at the same time shoulder the work of flood prevention and rescue.
Later, the water transportation was developed, and the Hefang Camp was responsible for the safety of the commercial roads along the river, sweeping away some fierce beasts along the wilderness.
The salt industry in Mingyue City is well-developed, and there are huge profits in it, so that salt smuggling has been repeatedly banned. He Fangying also shouldered the work of anti-smuggling. Over time, everyone called it the He Fang anti-smuggling company.
In a secret room in the Yamen of Hefangying, the leader Sang Qian is saluting another old man respectfully: “Father’s trick is really clever. It doesn’t take much effort to make the Wang and Chu family turn against each other.”
Sang Hong stroked the beard on his chin without being too happy: “It’s not that simple. If this makes the two families turn against each other, then it would be too small to look down upon Chu Zhongtian.”
“Could it be possible that Chu Zhongtian could not come back?” Sang Qian asked curiously.
“He will definitely come up with a series of corresponding methods, but it doesn’t matter,” Sang Hong chuckled lightly. “The first one is just the beginning, and there are a lot of methods waiting for him. First cut off their most powerful allies. , And then deal with the lonely Chu family.”
“Mingyue Gong said that he was very prestigious, but he was not playing with his father and applauding!” Sang Qian laughed haha.
Sang Hong shook his head: “It’s not that Chu Zhongtian is inferior to me, but the emperor and the empress support me, and the court supports me. The general trend cannot be restored by manpower.”
Sang Qian thought that his father would like to say something ridiculous, but obviously he was awesome but didn’t like others to praise him, he was really too humble.
“By the way, father should pay attention to your body. The’Shenxianju Thin Horse’ sent by the wealthy merchants in Mingyue City is indeed good.” Sang Qian winked when he spoke, with an expression that a man understands.
Sang Hong glanced at him faintly: “Are you very upset in your heart now that you were not allowed to go to Shenxianju to find flowers and ask Liu, but I turned around and took their thin horse?”
“Don’t dare!” Sang Qian hurriedly lowered his head to apologize, but he did have some thoughts in his heart, “Daddy, you have always been upright and honest. If you take the lean horses of those wealthy merchants this time, I am afraid that you will have a bad reputation in the future, and it will also be easy to attract North Korea. Attacks by political opponents.”
“As long as you can fulfill the task assigned by the court, your personal reputation is nothing. Father will teach you a truth today,” Sang Hong said in a deep voice. , You have to be more treacherous than corrupt officials.”
“Only after receiving gifts from those families, they will treat you as their own, and it will be much easier to cooperate in the future, avoiding unnecessary suspicion.”
“Now our primary task is to deal with the Chu family and return their salt and iron wealth to the court. Everything else is secondary.”
Sang Hong respectfully bowed: “Father taught me the truth.”
But I kept sighing in my heart, accepting a woman can accept such righteous words, the principle is all the same, there is no one in the world except the old man.
“Hug, Zuan, the uncle of the Chu family, leads someone to see you!” At this moment, a soldier ran outside the door to pass the message.
“What is he here for?” Sang Qian frowned. He didn’t know why, he didn’t like that guy subconsciously.
When he thinks that such a rogue guy can marry the fairy-like Miss Chu, he has the feeling that a flower is stuck in the cow dung. No, it is the feeling that the flower falls into the dung pit.
Especially when he thought that Zuan had pitted hundreds of thousands of taels of silver from his gambling shop last time, he felt even more upset.
“You are too happy and angry, and I have taught you how many times, but I still can’t change it.” Sang Hong said dissatisfiedly. My own son is frizzy, and I haven’t learned any of my composure. “Go and see See what Zuan is here for.”
“Yes~” Sang Qian replied sadly, blaming the guy Zuan, so he was scolded by the old man again.
Besides, Zuan was waiting in the lobby, and suddenly saw that the backstage received two waves of anger from Sang Qian.
Zuan was speechless for a while, this guy hasn’t seen him yet, just so resentful?
Could it be that he knew about me and his fiancée?
But apart from being ambiguous, we touched a few more, but actually didn’t do anything.
It would be too wrong to be angered like this.
Just as he was thinking about it, Sang Qian finally came out: “Master Zu, I don’t know what it is to do in Hefang Camp today.”
This young man shouted and made him sick for a long time. How can this guy be worthy of the word young man?
But his father also taught him not to be overwhelmed with joy and anger. Wouldn’t his hostility be too strong if he directly called out his name?
He was entangled in his heart, but how could he know that Zuan had known his hostility from another channel?
“We found a large amount of private salt to be shipped from the dock tonight, so we also asked Sang to order the people and completely wipe out the private salt dealers.” Zuan was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and directly explained what he was coming for.
“Private salt?” Sang Qian was shocked. “I don’t know where my grandfather got the information. Why didn’t our Hefang Camp receive the slightest noise?”
While talking, he glanced at one of his men without showing a trace, and then he nodded slightly and walked out silently.
Because there are a lot of people in the Hefang Camp, Zu An and others are not familiar with the people here, and they can’t see anything at all.
“The crux of the problem now is not where the intelligence comes from, but to catch those private salt dealers as soon as possible.” Of course, Zu An would not be so stupid to confess Qiu Hong’s tears.
Originally wanted to confuse him, everyone in the brothel knew the smuggling intelligence, but the anti-smuggling Hefang Camp did not receive the slightest noise. What is it that is not a rice bucket?
However, considering that we will rely on their efforts in the future, such untimely words will be held back for the time being, and we will say it after all the dust settles.
“It’s not that I don’t believe you, it’s really a big deal. Every time I rushed to the air, it disturbed the real private salt dealers, and then it would be troublesome to catch them later.” Sang Qian said solemnly.
“My news is absolutely reliable. The general just needs to arrest people.” Zuan said. Not only did he trust Qiu Honglei, but he also went to stay here. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it.
“If this is the case, can the grandfather dare to issue an order?” Sang Qian also got up, his expression becoming serious.
Zu’an narrowed his eyes and shook his head: “I am not a member of the military, so what military orders should I make.”
Although he has full confidence, he doesn’t want to let himself take some risks for nothing.
We must know that there is never a lack of accidents in this world.
This guy tempted himself to make a military order. Isn’t it a ghost?
Zuan frowned, lost in thought, and suddenly felt that this trip might not be so smooth.
Sang Qian laughed: “Brother grandpa don’t mind, I just want to be stable. It’s not a simple matter to mobilize soldiers and horses every time. I have to apply to my superiors for approval. Whether it is a superior leader or a lower-level soldier, there will be complaints.”
“You still need to ask your superiors?” Zu An was taken aback. “Why don’t you go and ask for instructions? How long does it take to come and go?”
“Don’t worry, someone has already been sent.” Sang Qian made a please gesture, “Grandpa, don’t panic, take a break with a cup of tea.”
Zuan’s brows were furrowed, and there was no mood to drink tea, thinking that these guys were so inefficient, it’s no wonder that private salt would be flooded like this.
Next, Sang Qian looked for various topics and chatted with him, and Zu An responded in a different way.
After a cup of tea, Zuan finally couldn’t take it anymore, and stood up and said, “If it is not convenient for the general, then I will bring the Chu family guard to arrest people.”
As the saying goes, it has been changing over time, and after delaying this moment, he has a vague premonition in his heart.
“Brother grandfather, don’t worry, you’ll be fine soon.” Sang Qian said, “Furthermore, this seizure of smuggled salt is part of our Hefang Camp. How can we let Mingyue Gongfu do the work for him? Lord City Lord knows, but I am going to be severely punished for negligence.”
“I’ll wait ten minutes at most. If it doesn’t work, I will go there to play the outpost first.” Zuan also knows that Chu Zhongtian and his wife sent him to find Sang Qian, mostly because of the scruples of these procedures, so as not to be used by political opponents afterwards. .
But you can’t wait without restrictions. If you really let those private salts run away, then you will be completely abandoned.
“Minutes?” Sang Qian didn’t quite understand this timing unit, but he could roughly guess the meaning, “There will be news soon, grand brother, stay calm.”
After waiting for a few more minutes, Zuan finally couldn’t stand it, got up and walked out.
I don’t know if it was a coincidence. At this moment, a soldier ran in and said, “I got the upper warrant.”
Sang Qian laughed and said, “Okay, let’s start now!”
Soon the soldiers in the Hefang Battalion campus began to gather. Seeing the dragged and untidy group of soldiers in front of him, Zuan frowned, whether this was a soldier or a soldier.
With such a river defense camp, it is no wonder that illegal salt has become more and more rampant in recent years.
Sang Qian’s face was also a little ugly, and he quickly explained: “I practiced too late yesterday, and today everyone may not recover.”
While talking, the opponent roared: “Hurry up, what a decent procrastination!”
It’s a pity that no matter how he roared, the group of soldiers only dealt with it a little on the surface, but the actual speed did not increase.
It took more than half an hour to just gather.
Fortunately, it finally set off.
Sang Hong silently watched the troops leaving, playing with a pipe in his hand, and silently spit out a puff of smoke. His thin face was dark in the smoke.
A doubt arose in his mind: “Why did Zuan find out about the private salt so accurately?”
Zu An took the guards of the Chu family and the soldiers of the Hefang Battalion to the pier.
Worried about being escaped by the private salt dealers, Zu An was anxious all the way and rode his horse to the dock.
As a result, halfway through, a sedan chair suddenly emerged from an alley next to him.
Zuan hurriedly reined his horse to a halt. Although it stopped at the last moment, the bearers were obviously frightened.
He accidentally fell to the ground, and the sedan chair on his shoulders also turned sideways.
“Oh~” a girl exclaimed from inside.
