"Wonderful, wonderful, let's do it like this. When it's over, I'll draw up an official document, saying that banditry is rampant in Andong County, and I hope my superiors will allocate some money and food to eliminate banditry."

"Haha, uncle is still the best. Sure enough, the old man is still hot. I am convinced by uncle's plan of killing two birds with one stone..."

Liu Jingzhong was so happy that Liu Hu was flattering him that he immediately ordered the housekeeper to bring one thousand taels of silver and asked Liu Jingzhong to gather the refugees and prepare to lay siege to Linjia Village.

After Liu Hu left, Liu Jingzhong was walking back and forth in the house alone. Suddenly he stopped again and said: "This is not enough. Killing people is heartbreaking. The people in Linjia Village are really hateful. Today I will let you

Taste despair."

So, he immediately asked someone to draft an official document, and then brought the official document to the county government office.

Magistrate Ma was confused when he saw Liu Jingzhong coming, and immediately asked: "Why did Magistrate Liu come to see me?"

"Reporting to the county magistrate, Fengyang City was captured by the invaders. Lin Dong happened to be escorting autumn grain into Fengyang and was killed by the invaders!"

"Ah, this happened? Has the investigation been clear?" Magistrate Ma asked in surprise.

"Absolutely true."

"What a pity that such a good young man like Lin Dong died in the flames of war. What a pity!" Magistrate Ma sighed, stroking his forehead.

"County Honorable Lord, Lin Dong died in the line of duty. According to the practice of this dynasty, the body should have been brought back. Unfortunately, Mr. Lin was killed in the rebellion. The body may be difficult to find, but the pension must be paid. The official drafted it

I wrote an official letter of condolences and asked the county magistrate to read it. If there are no problems, I will send someone to send it back to Lin Dong’s family together with the pension."

County Magistrate Ma took the document from Liu County Cheng and read it. It contained the amount of the pension and a condolence document in accordance with the regulations of the court. There was nothing inappropriate in it. Even if he agreed, the court had its own system for pensions.

There was no need for him to worry about it. After finishing it, he ordered Liu Jingzhong to leave and walked to the back office.

After receiving the document and pension, Liu Jingzhong was in a good mood. Now he just waited for Liu Hu to gather his men and send the document to the Lin family to let them know the news of Lin Dong's death. When they were sad and frightened, Liu Hu would lead the attack.

Linjia Village, massacre Linjia Village.

The so-called murder and heartbreaking, Liu Jingzhong achieved it to the extreme.

With the fall of Fengyang City, the number of refugees has gradually increased in the past few days. Naturally, Liu Hu did not want to take advantage of this opportunity, so he immediately sent people to set up a banner on the road to attract anyone who joined Canglangling.

It was this simple slogan that attracted a large number of people at once. These hungry victims, whose eyes were green, heard that they could have enough to eat. They didn't care what they wanted to do by joining Canglang Ridge. They joined Canglang's army without even thinking about it.

After five days of this, Liu Hu, with the support of Liu Jingzhong's large amount of money, quickly gathered a team of more than a thousand people, which was even larger than before.

After gathering enough manpower, Liu Hu immediately sent a message to Liu Jingzhong asking him to take action.

After receiving the news, Liu Jingzhong set off with several government officials. His destination this time was Linjia Village.

It is a coincidence that not long after Liu Jingzhong left the county government, Lin Dong took Yang Jiu and others back to the county government. He wasted a lot of time going to Nanjing this time, so he did not return to Andong County until today.

Originally, he and Hei Xiong's people were just coming to the county government office to submit documents for the autumn grain storage, so Hei Xiong asked Hei Xiong to send Xiao Wu and others back first.

This trip to Nanjing was relatively smooth. That day, he took the banknotes, Yang Jiu and others all the way south without stopping, and finally arrived in Nanjing five days later.

When he first arrived in Nanjing, Lin Dong took action. In order to open up the situation, he used the communication methods in his previous life to the fullest, found several connections, and finally found an acquaintance in the Ministry of War.

Because Nanjing is the capital city, the officials here basically have little luck, and the positions are limited. There are at least several pairs of eyes on each position, making it very difficult to get promoted.

Just like this, once these people get into power, their greedy nature will be revealed. In addition, Nanjing is a foreign capital, with the sky high and the emperor far away, so the officials here are even more unscrupulous. It is troublesome to even cover up the money.

Although this kind of officialdom was disgraceful, it was convenient for Lin Dong, so he quickly met a junior official in the Ministry of War through his dog meat friends.

This person's surname is Li, and he is a chief of the Ministry of War. He is a sixth-rank official. Although he is a junior official, his ability is not small at all. This chief is a member of the Military Selection and Cleaning Department. In the Ming Dynasty, the Military Selection and Cleaning Department was in charge of the promotion of military attachés.

Replacement, preferential gift, imperial edict, merit reward, this is exactly the person Lin Dong needs to find.

After Lin Dong gave him twenty taels of silver, Master Li's power burst out, and he immediately made a list of thousands of vacancies in various guardhouses for Lin Dong to choose from.

Lin Dong read through these lists and finally decided to choose a Qianhu residence called Donghai Zhongsuo in Haizhou, Huai'an Prefecture. Not only was it close to home, but it was also located on the seaside with flat terrain, making it suitable for raising troops.

The clerk was not polite and immediately extended a finger.

"One hundred taels?" Lin Dong asked tentatively.

The clerk said with a cold face: "If it's one hundred taels, I won't even let you see the list."

"One thousand taels?" Lin Dong was surprised. Such a small guard house with thousands of households actually wanted so much money?

"For the sake of our acquaintance, I will charge you one thousand taels. Don't feel that you are at a loss. It is for the sake of our friendship that I tell you that if it were anyone else, I would not care."

Ignore it.”

Then the clerk told Lin Dong one by one the uses of the money.

After his explanation, Lin Dong felt much better.

According to Mr. Li, this one thousand taels of silver seems to be a lot, but the officers of the Ministry of War have to manage it and send it all the way from top to bottom. One thousand taels of silver is just enough to get things done.

After changing his body, Lin Dong gave him some money, and Mr. Li sent Lin Dong out, saying that he would be able to get his official certificate as long as he waited a few more days.

So Lin Dong settled in Nanjing.

He didn't have the chance to go to Nanjing in his previous life, so he finally came here this time, so naturally he had to go around a lot.

This ancient capital that has experienced several rises and falls really has a unique flavor. It is ancient and simple and has a strong historical atmosphere. This atmosphere is unmatched by Fengyang.

In addition to playing, Lin Dong keeps visiting various entertainment venues. To put it bluntly, they are brothels, because these places are where rich young men gather. Now that he is planning to open up the situation here and put nails in, there will naturally be more

Get familiar with the situation in Nanjing.

Soon, he became acquainted with several young men from aristocratic families. Most of these people were nobles who spent their days idle, fighting chickens and raising birds, and did all kinds of evil.

Seeing Lin Dong's generosity, they soon became involved.

Not to mention, Lin Dong really found a strange person among this group of people. The reason why he was strange was because although he stayed with the young masters of the aristocratic families every day, he was always bored and seemed to be interested in something.

Not interested in anything at all.
