Li You walked out of the barrier in a few steps, asked his elder brother Suiyi to get on the carriage, and went to the garrison department to summon the battalion soldiers. He also sent two yamen to go to the East Gate and Chaoguan Gate to deliver the news to the two wharves of Yangzhou City.
It is located outside these two city gates. If those who serve as Salt Eunuchs want to leave the city, they will most likely go through these two gates.
At this point, Li You couldn't help but sigh. There are no mobile phones and telephones these days. When an emergency situation arises and needs to be responded to, it can really make people anxious. Then he quickly set off for the mansion, wondering if he would be able to stop the salt eunuch in time.
On the way, Mr. Li thought about this matter again and again. Zhou Huai, the salt eunuch, said that Jin Wanwan had "climbed another high branch". Could it be that he was referring to himself? Could it be that Jin Wanwan had been too close to him recently, which aroused suspicion in Nanjing?
, so we should strike first to gain the upper hand?
In addition, the appearance of dozens of sergeants is also worth noting. Where did this sergeant come from? Zhou Huai is probably just a clown on the front desk. Someone who can dispatch dozens of soldiers to arrest people across borders is someone worth guarding against.
However, Jin Wanwan's life should not be in danger for the time being. A mere salt eunuch is not arrogant enough to dare to openly kill a wealthy businessman. He does not have the guts.
At the same time, he thought about the consequences of Jin Wanwan being taken away. Mr. Li clearly realized that he must save Jin Wanwan no matter what. If he can't save his father-in-law, losing face is a trivial matter. Then what will other salt merchants think?
Own?
It can be said that before the imperial court officially recognized it, the general trade union system was based on the salt merchants' "trust" in them. If the salt merchants lost confidence in themselves, the consequences would be serious, and it would be equivalent to all the previous efforts being in vain.
Half an hour later, Li You and several government servants rushed to the city mansion.
The county government was responsible for the daily expenses of the mansion, and a number of servants were also dispatched by the county government. Therefore, the doorman did not dare to hide anything when he saw Mr. Li, so he reported in 1510: "The salt eunuch and his party are still in the garden, and Jin Yuan is not here.
It’s true that people didn’t come out after they went in. More than an hour ago, I just heard the noise in the courtyard for a while and then it calmed down.”
This eunuch is very courageous. He didn't leave Yangzhou City quickly after capturing Jin Wanwan. He actually dared to wait in a arrogant manner. He seemed to be confident, Li You thought to himself. He waited for a while for safety, but he saw the boss Wu Xianhan
He rushed there with two hundred sergeants.
Only 200 of the 1,500-600 battalion soldiers came, not because they were not loyal enough to Mr. Li. As a welfare measure to gain military morale, most of the soldiers from the battalion were sent out by Mr. Li to investigate smuggled salt. The generals who stayed behind in the Garrison Department
There are only a few hundred people.
Half of these hundreds of people have to be divided to guard the city gate, so now in the garrison camp, only these 200 people can be summoned in a hurry.
Two hundred men were enough to use. Armed and courageous, Li You led his men and horses into the mansion. Under the guidance of the guards, they drove straight in and arrived at the moon gate in the backyard.
There were two young eunuchs guarding the door. One of them stepped forward to stop Li You and said, "Hey, sir, please don't break in..."
Li You turned aside without saying a word to make room.
"Bold!" Wu Xianhan followed Li You to do many things. He shouted knowingly, pulled out his sword, used the back of the knife to slash the little eunuch's head and face, and then kicked him a foot away.
The little eunuch held his head and cried like a wolf, rolling on the ground in pain. The other one who was still in the doorway saw that the situation was not good and ran towards the courtyard.
Li You and his men walked through the doorway and continued to move forward. They saw a dozen people pouring out of the hall in front of them. One of them was wearing a lacquered gauze three-mountain hat and a Tsing Yi with strange patches. Looking at it, Li You knew that he was that person.
Zhou, the salt eunuch, is pregnant.
Although Zhou Huai didn't know Li You, he could tell who he was from his aura, color of clothes, and age. He was about to speak.
However, Li You jumped in and yelled: "Eunuch! You dare to kidnap a wealthy businessman in our Yangzhou. Do you really think that our Yangzhou has no law? Today, I will do justice for heaven and tell you how many taels you have, this dog head."
Serious!"
In fact, the implication of Mr. Li's words is, do you think this is the 9,000-year-old era more than a hundred years ago? Besides, you are just a little eunuch who comes out temporarily to run errands. If you want to be arrogant in the local area, are you worthy?
Zhou Huai was influenced by Wu Dayong, the garrison eunuch of Nanjing, and had read several books. He usually liked to be arty, but unexpectedly, he was insulted by Li You extremely viciously, and he became furious.
Mr. Li had no intention of arguing with Zhou Huai. He looked back and shouted: "Take them all! If anyone resists, shoot them to death! If you kill someone, I will plead guilty to the court!"
Zhou Huai couldn't help but took another step forward, stood on the steps and shouted: "How dare you!"
Bang! Someone in the Yangzhou camp fired a firecracker, causing the stone steps in front of the hall to scatter and rubble scattered. Eunuch Zhou was so frightened that he took three big steps back and shrank back into the crowd, but he no longer dared to stand out from the crowd.
.
What a waste. Someone secretly cursed Zhou Huai. He had no choice but to stand out from the crowd, clasping his fists at Li You and saying, "Wait a minute! Prefect Li has misunderstood. This is not kidnapping a wealthy businessman to extort the place, but something that happened for a reason."
Li You took a look and saw that this man had a gauze hat with a back mountain style, a brocade coat with arrow sleeves, and a fourth-grade patch on his chest. He knew in his heart that he must be a military attache of high rank.
Although the status of military attachés is not as lowly as before after the Jiashen Incident, it is still not as low as that of civilian officials. Fourth-grade military attaches really have no sense of superiority in front of fifth-grade civilian officials.
Li Youxian stopped his sergeant and did not return the salute. He raised his head and sneered: "It turns out that they have colluded with the government and the army. No wonder a mere eunuch in charge of salt dares to act rashly. So what if he is a fourth-grade military attache? I will take it as it is. Let's go to the Jinluan Palace to reason.
!”
Damn it, this person is indeed as arrogant as the rumors. The military attache cursed Li You in his heart again, showed his identity without any sign of weakness and said: "I Zhang Yan, I am the guard commanding Qianshi left in Nanjing, under the orders of the garrison."
, came to arrest the Jin family!"
Nanjing has a garrison, a joint garrison, a coordinated garrison, etc. They can all be called garrison. Li You's purpose was to force the opponent out, and he immediately asked: "Which garrison?"
"Of course it's my husband!"
When Li You heard this title, his heart trembled, and he put away the arrogant look he had deliberately shown before. The old man in the mouth of Zhang Yan, the commander of Qian Shi, must be referring to the contemporary Duke of the Xu family of Wei, and he is also the most authentic one at the moment.
Nanjing garrison.
Needless to say, the status of the Duke is noble. Compared with the cabinet bachelor, he can be regarded as the ultimate minister of another system. If Li You, the hereditary third grade, is the lowest level of the nobility, he can only be counted as the threshold of the nobility.
The Duke is the pinnacle of the honor system, and there are almost no rewards for those above him.
There are only a handful of noble families, but most of them have no real power. Civil servants with high standards will not be afraid of nobles, but will feel proud to offend them.
However, under the ancestral system of the country, in the past dynasties, the dukes were responsible for the garrison of Nanjing, and the eunuchs were responsible for the coordinated garrison. This garrison was held by Wei Guogong. It happened that the power of the eunuchs was weakening, so Wei Guogong became one of the few nobles with real power.
.It is nothing to send your officers across the river to Yangzhou to arrest others.
Is it true that Duke Wei wants to capture millions of gold coins? Li You feels very troubled. If the eunuch takes action, he can fight back as he did, but if it is Duke Wei, it will be a bit troublesome.
Although Li You thought too much, he continued to ask: "How did Jin Wanwan become a criminal?"
Zhang Yan said confidently: "The Gangshang Jin family trafficked huge quantities of smuggled salt. Nanjing Jiangfang camp has repeatedly seized it. Today, we will bring millions of gold to Nanjing for interrogation! Mr. Li, don't stop me!"
Li You's heart began to pound again. He knew that Jin Wanwan trafficked hundreds of millions of jins of illegal salt every year, and those people in Nanjing were the biggest protection. But he knew that he was incapable of taking action, so he kept pretending to be confused and did not ask Jin Wanwan for details.
The inside story is that I just plan to delay it until the emperor's southern tour and let the royal family deal with it.
Unexpectedly, the thieves in Nanjing suddenly shouted to arrest the thief, and they actually took the initiative to turn the matter around and seize Jin Wanwan first. There were salt eunuchs who lured Jin Wanwan into the trap, and there were commanders and soldiers who led the officers and soldiers to seize the people in a high-sounding name.
They represent their respective forces. Is this a situation where the rabbit is dead and the dog is cooked?
His father-in-law is not reckless, he must be very careful about such possibilities. If there is any trouble, he must be prepared in advance. The fact that Jin Wanwan was imprisoned so easily today shows that there were no warning signs beforehand, which made him unprepared.
Heart, so it really happened suddenly.
Without thinking about the reasons, Li You mentally compared the factors such as lordship, status, grade, military power, etc., and found that he could not compare with him in all aspects. The Nanjing garrison Wei Guogong had almost no shortcomings compared with him. Those backers in the court,
It's hard to say whether it will be useful when meeting Wei Guogong.
After much deliberation, Li You felt that the only option was to be reasonable. He could travel all over the world with reason, but he could not move forward without reason. Another thing he could rely on was that he was a local snake here, and he could choose to use his fists when forced.
Thinking of this, Li Youxian reasoned: "Jin Wanwan is a native of Yangzhou and is under my jurisdiction. Since there is suspicion, I should interrogate him. You should hand him over."
Zhang Yan laughed a few times and said, "Master Li, although you are a local governor, do you think that we in Nanjing don't know about your relationship with Jin Wanwan? Don't you have to avoid suspicion?"
He also accused Li Youdao: "If you continue to stop and force people to commit crimes, you are covering up your accomplices! Did you cover up Jin Wanwan's serious crime?"
Seeing that the other party retorted so sharply and quickly, even beyond his level, would ordinary people have such ability? Mr. Li felt more and more that the other party was definitely prepared, even these lines were prepared.
Not to mention let Jin Wanwan capture him! If a person goes to Nanjing and is tricked into framing him, then he has been framed. Even if he can use the gold book and iron certificate to take the blame, it is not cost-effective.
If the truth doesn't make sense, just talk about it with fists. If you look forward and backward, you will definitely be wrong. You can find a way to make up for it afterwards. What crime can't be withheld by a golden book and an iron ticket?
Li You became cruel and issued an order to the 200 sergeants: "Listen to my order and come forward to take the person! Anyone who dares to stop him will still be shot to death!"
As soon as Li You finished speaking, he heard someone from behind shouting: "Yangzhou soldiers, stop it!"
Looking back, it turned out to be the middle officer who was patrolling the governor's camp. He saw the middle officer holding his command arrow high, squeezing his way in front of the soldiers from the garrison department and shouting to Li You: "According to the order of the military gate, all the soldiers from the garrison department must return to the camp to rest.
It cannot be used without permission without orders!"
The superior government office of the Garrison Department is indeed the Governor of Fengyang with the title of "Admiral of Military Affairs".
Damn it! Li You never expected that Yang Futai would suddenly jump out at this time, stab him and block his fist.
