Chapter 191
All the seven major profiteers are greedy for life and fear of death, and there is no doubt about this. However, their desire for money is not inferior to their lives, so they are confused.
If the money is not made, it will be earned by others. So much money flew out of their eyes, which made them feel like a knife. But if they were here, they would be as popular as Fan Wendou and be targeted by the Liaodong Revenge Army, and they would be finished.
Wang Dengku, Jin Liangyu, Wang Dayu, Liang Jiabin, Tian Shenglan, Zhai Tang, Huang Yunfa and other seven people discussed and discussed, but there was no proper method. To put it bluntly, that is, money must be earned and life must be protected.
Wang Dengku said, "Why not report to the official position, right?"
Huang Yunfa said angrily: "We have done this, but it has no effect at all. This group of Liaodong Revenge Army people come and go like the wind. They should be the remnants of the Liao Town cavalry. If they become bandits, they will face us. We are just doing business. Why can't he get along with us?"
Wang Dengku said, "No, there is something very wrong, that is, since they are bandits, there are naturally people on the Tao that know each other. We can search through people on the Tao that they want. How much they want can be priced, as long as they don't make things difficult for us."
Huang Yunfa also said, "This is the most strange thing. No one on the road knows the origin of this group of people. It seems that they suddenly appeared. We passed the black and white paths and greeted everyone, but they didn't know what the origin of this group of people was and how to follow them."
Everyone present is smart, and they are all well-connected and versatile. Since they were targeted by the Liaodong Revenge Army, they have all been in danger. In fact, they have mobilized their ability to inquire about the whereabouts of the Liaodong Revenge Army, and hope to contact the other party and settle the matter.
In the eyes of rich people, nothing is unfair to deal with. If ten thousand is not enough, twenty thousand will be able to deal with it.
The Ming Dynasty now fought against Jiannu and was in a desperate situation, but they could still establish the relationship between the two countries, so that they could do business normally, buy and sell various materials, and make amazing profits. This time they believed that someone should be targeting their huge profits. If part of the money is given up and one profit is given, it should still be OK.
But they used all their connections and used all their strength to discover the same thing, that is, no one knew the origin of this group of Liaodong Revenge Army, and no one knew how they emerged, and no one could contact them.
This made these profiteers very afraid and afraid. The same thing they like most was that they thought too much.
They can basically determine that the so-called Liaodong Revenge Army should be an excuse. The entire Liao Town has basically been occupied by Jiannu. The military and civilians there are either their obedient people or their coat slaves. Those who come to the territory of the Ming Dynasty are all dressed without any loss. How can they have the ability to form such a huge power?
And they knew the same thing, that is, these people were very cunning and cruel. Fan Yongdou's family, regardless of gender, age, were killed by them. Even the eighty-year-old man and three-year-old baby were not spared. After that, they burned a fire to keep their bodies alive. What's even more amazing is that they deliberately left clues and let the government track them down. As a result, the government, who was chasing hundreds of people, chased them and got ambushed, killing more than 300 people.
What's even more strange is that the bodies of these 300 people were chopped up by the Liaodong Revenge Army and then burned them to charcoal, which surprised and scared them.
Wang Dengku said, "It's obvious that these border generals are interested in our money, so they do it. Nowadays, people can't do anything for money."
This explains why they could attack Jiexiu County and ambush the officers and soldiers who pursued them.
If they are real bandits, they have always killed people and set fires, killing and burying them. The other party's burying the corpse is very strange. This is evidence to destroy.
Moreover, the Liaodong Revenge Army suddenly emerged. No one had ever heard of the Liaodong Revenge Army before. Just imagine that if the other party was organized and powerful, he would not have emerged suddenly. Instead, there was a development process, with his territory, his copycats, and they also had to eat and wear. They needed to buy these things. If they needed to buy things, it would be impossible to hide them from the seven of them. However, the seven of them joined forces to investigate. I believe that the power and resources were more than the government, but they could not find anything useful. In other words, these people suddenly appeared and then disappeared suddenly.
Their investigation was more careful than the government and more carefully than the investigation envoys from the Ministry of Justice. Their investigation was found in the army, but they couldn't find anything useful. Instead, they found that some abnormal mobilizations in the army might be done by these generals.
Tian Shenglan was very angry and said, "We have given them a lot of money. Can you eat them all?"
Huang Yunfa said, "Who would think money is fishy these days? They must be jealous of our profits, so they want to get a share of the pie. If it is no exception, someone should soon take over Fan Yongdou's business."
Wang Dengku said, "The biggest problem now is whether we should continue to do it. What if the other party causes trouble for us? If someone is jealous of our profits, it is easy to say. We can give some money to them. What we fear most is that they are jealous of our business and have to grab them all. This is to die."
Another rich businessman, Wang Dayu, said: "No matter what, the other party should play cards soon, but I mean that we should not act rashly before the other party plays cards."
Huang Yunfa said, "This is impossible. If we don't move, Tianconghan will not be able to spare us."
Tianconghan is Huang Taiji, the second-generation leader of Jiannu, a very powerful character. Jiannu became stronger and more powerful under his leadership.
When his father Nurhaci was not allowed to take the Mongolian tribe, he could not help but beat the Mongolian tribe in the south of the Mok and kneeled down. Originally, they defeated Mongolian in the south of the Mok and directly extended their power along the Great Wall, which made the seven people very happy. This means that they could send his goods from the east to the territory controlled by Jiannu at any time, unlike in the past, they had to pay to the Mongolians to pass through the territory of the Mongols, but now they have to save even the toll.
When it comes to this person, everyone is silent.
This person is a powerful character, but unlike the Emperor Chongzhen in the Forbidden City, who is so easy to fool and talk to. If he dares to fool him, he will probably be destroyed directly. Even if he is not tired, he will make up the matter between them. They will not be clean and will probably be finished at any time.
Moreover, this person got a lot of things from them, and the other party paid the money, and he was even more willing to spend money than before, but this person's money is not easy to take. If you dare to fool him, it would be a dead end.
This made the seven major merchants very confused. If they didn't do it, they would probably send someone to destroy them and let others do it. If they continue to do it, what should they do if the Liaodong Army targeted them? Even if they worked hard to do their business and made money, they ended up like Fan Dou. The whole family was destroyed, the family was destroyed, and the money was destroyed. Who knew who moved the money, and who they cried to.
Several of them discussed it and finally decided to report it to the official after a long time of discussion.
Leave all this to the government.
This incident shows the ridiculousness of the present. This is when a group of unscrupulous merchants who sold the Ming Dynasty were killed by the patriotic Liaodong Revenge Army, they actually bought and bribed the government and asked the government officials to chase and kill the patriotic Liaodong Revenge Army.
However, in the eyes of the local government, the Liaodong Revenge Army is now a thorn in the eyes of the local government. It is a terrible terrorist. What they did not only smash their jobs, cut off their oil and water, but also killed their people. The two sides were also incompatible. They went out to patrol and arrest people. They hoped that the whereabouts of the Liaodong Revenge Army were found.
The government was so enthusiastic about chasing the Liaodong Revenge Army. First, the seven major merchants secretly made great rewards. If they captured the Liaodong Revenge Army, they could get huge amounts of money if they destroyed them, and even the other party would return the Year of the Sheep. If they could destroy this big trouble for them, they could promote the official to three levels.
In addition, they have enough evidence to point out that all the treasures in the Fan family compound fell into the hands of the Liaodong Revenge Army, because although Fan Yongdou's Fan family compound was burned into ruins, gold and silver cannot be burned, and there should be some things, but none of them were there. Moreover, their vaults were pried open, and it was probably all stolen by the Liaodong Revenge Army. This means that as long as they find the Liaodong Revenge Army, they can get this huge treasure.
So when not only the local governments were dispatched, but even the local garrisons were dispatched, causing chaos, with the purpose of finding out the origin of the Liaodong Revenge Army.
