Yan Wushuang Extra Story (21)

In Tang Xingping's basement, there are many antique calligraphy and paintings, precious porcelain, and four boxes of golden bars.

Even Guo's eyes were straightened, and the soldiers who followed felt that they had made a fortune this time.

Xiang Hongda had never seen any scenes with Yin Tu before, so his reaction to this was very flat. Xiang Hongda said coldly, "Search carefully for me."

A secret room was searched and a corpse was found inside. Looking at the skeleton, Xiang Hongda knew it was a woman. Other than that, nothing unusual was found.

Even Guo was jealous of these gold and silver treasures, and couldn't help but come up with a bad idea: "My lord, this Tang Xingping can't escape the crime of murder." If Tang Xingping is killed, he can share one-third of these treasures.

Searched again and found nothing. In desperation, Xiang Hongda had no choice but to take his people back. As for the treasure in the secret room, the soldiers carried it back.

There were many people around outside, and they all watched them carry more than a dozen large boxes and leave.

Knowing this, Su Changming immediately went to find the dignitary Xiang Hongda. Seeing that Xiang Hongda refused to let him go, Su Changming cursed: "What colluded with the remnants of the Yan family to kill and hide the corpse? You clearly know that my big shopkeeper has hidden a huge sum of money in his house and wants to murder him."

Xiang Hongda said coldly: "Mr. Su, we have conclusive evidence to prove that Tang Xingping is the remnant of the Yan family, and a corpse was found in his secret room. Tang Xingping himself admitted that the corpse in the secret room was killed by him. .”

"Do you still do such things as torture? Doctor Guo, that's how you killed him." Su Changming didn't want to talk nonsense with him, and asked again: "Xiang Hongda, will you let me go or not?" Big shopkeeper?"

Naturally, Xiang Hongda would not let Tang Xingping go. This guy confessed as soon as he was sentenced, and he was very cooperative. The key is that there is no useful information at all.

Su Changming didn't bother too much, and immediately left the magistrate's office. He didn't go home, but sent someone to invite Boss Xue and other wealthy businessmen in Chuncheng to a restaurant.

When everyone arrived, Su Changming said to them, "First it was Dr. Guo, and now it's the big shopkeeper of our Yongsheng Commercial Bank. If we stand by and watch, the next one will be one of us here."

Those present knew why Su Changming was in such a hurry. Eternal Life Commercial Bank can live without Su Changming, but it absolutely can't live without the big shopkeeper. Without the big shopkeeper, Eternal Life Trading Company will definitely end.

After hearing this, Mr. Li, the largest cloth merchant in Chuncheng, said, "Brother Su, they are from the government after all. If we fight head-on with them, we will definitely suffer losses." I don't have the courage to fight against people.

Boss Xue was also very dissatisfied with Xiang Hongda and his party, he dared to send someone to watch him. If it wasn't for the thousands of soldiers and horses in the city, he would have killed him a long time ago: "Chang Ming, what can you do?"

Tang Xingping held 20% of the shares in Yongsheng Commercial Bank, so they were not surprised that Tang Xingping had accumulated such a solid family fortune. And Boss Xue saved much more wealth than Tang Xingping. Boss Xue is also afraid of the government's plundering and plundering in this way!

Su Changming said: "When I go back, I will order all the shops of the Eternal Life Trading Company to close down." At first, the Yongsheng Trading Company was established by selling medicinal materials and horses, and later it dabbled in industries such as grain and salt. It can be said that Eternal Life Firm has a great influence in Spring City.

Xue Laodao: "You want to put pressure on the government to let Tang Xingping out."

"No, I want Xiang Hongda to get out of Chuncheng. He came and messed up our Chuncheng, and even killed Dr. Guo." After speaking, Su Changming said angrily: "Dr. If he covets the high-grade wound medicine in other people's hands, the Guo family will be accused of colluding with the Yan family. If he doesn't leave, none of us present will be able to escape."

Although it is said that there is no business and no evil, they still respect those people with high morals and prestige in their hearts. Dr. Guo happened to be one. Furthermore, what Xiang Hongda did did touch their bottom line. So everyone finally agreed to strike with Su Changming.

In the evening, Xiang Hongda heard the magistrate Sun Zhe say that all the shops in Spring City were closed.

Sun Zhe said: "My lord, we must quickly release the big shopkeeper of Yongsheng and the people of the Guo family." The shops are all closed, and Chuncheng will not become a dead city.

Xiang Hongda sneered and said: "If you have the ability, you should always close it and never open it." If they don't do business, they will not lose.

No matter how Sun Zhe tried to persuade him, Xiang Hongda refused to let him go. As a result, by the next day, the morning food faded out and the birds came.

The cook said with a bitter face: "My lord, there is no salt. The salt shop is closed and no longer sells salt." Food without salt is naturally tasteless.

Xiang Hongda sneered, thinking that this method could make them submit, dreaming.

At noon, the 1,800 soldiers brought by Lian Guo had nothing to eat. The reason is also very simple, the grain shop is closed and does not sell grain.

Not only salt and food, but also everything such as firewood, rice, oil, soy sauce and vinegar are all gone. And the restaurants are all closed.

Sun Zhe begged Xiang Hongda with a bitter face: "My lord, it is better to let go of the big shopkeepers of the Guo family and the Yongsheng Commercial Bank!" Otherwise, there will be troubles.

Xiang Hongda still did not agree. In the end, even Guo couldn't take it anymore, and said to Xiang Hongda: "Master Xiang, let Tang Xingping and the Guo family go quickly. Otherwise, the soldiers will mutiny."

There was no meal at noon, and these soldiers were already full of dissatisfaction. It took him a lot of effort to appease them. If there was no food to eat at night, these people might cause trouble.

Xiang Hongda suggested sending people out of the city to buy grain.

Sun Zhe smiled wryly and said, "My lord, at the stop in Chuncheng not long ago, all the people in the city and outside the city who had surplus food in their hands donated it to the army." It took the court half a month from allocating food to delivering it to Chuncheng . For more than ten days, it was survived by the donations of rich households and common people in the city.

After the war, there was still a lot of food left, but it was all taken to Tongcheng by General Zhang.

In the end, Xiang Hongda compromised and released all the members of Tang Da's shopkeeper and the Guo family. But even so, the store is still not open.

Su Changming let go of his words and must return the Tang family's property in full. Otherwise, the store will remain closed.

Because Su Changming promised that after the money is returned, he will distribute the four boxes of gold bars among them to everyone. So Boss Xue and others continued to follow Su Changming in the strike.

Lian Guo received a quarter of the property, kept two-thirds for himself, and distributed one-third to his subordinates. Let these people spit out the meat that reaches their mouths, don't even think about it.

Xiang Hongda asked him for money but failed to reach an agreement, and the two broke up unhappy. Then, Lian Guo returned to Shengjing with 1,800 soldiers.

Xiang Hongda was so angry that he wanted to catch up and kill Lian Guo, but unfortunately, he could only think about it. Without Lian Guo, Xiang Hongda is like a toothless tiger. Not to mention Boss Xue and the others, even Sun Zhe started to play tricks on him.

Tang Xingping didn't suffer any injuries, it wasn't Xiang Hongda's kindness, but Tang Xingping deliberately pretended to be afraid of death. As soon as he was sentenced, he begged for mercy. Then, no matter what Yin Tu said, he nodded and said yes.

Seeing Tang Xingping, Yan Wushuang said with guilt on his face, "Uncle Tang, I'm the one who got you involved."

Tang Xingping smiled and said: "I didn't suffer any crimes. Fortunately, young master, you are cautious, otherwise something will happen."

After a pause, Tang Xingping said, "Master, Dr. Guo didn't betray us."

Yan Wushuang nodded and said: "I know." If Dr. Guo betrayed them, how could the two of them stand here and talk.

"It was Dr. Guo's drug boy who reported that a jar of high-quality wound medicine that Dr. Guo treasured was missing." This is why Xiang Hongda arrested Dr. Guo.

Yan Wushuang was cold and indifferent: "The one who stabs the knife in the back is often the closest person around." The Song family must have colluded with someone who was trusted by his father, otherwise his father would not have died tragically, and Donghu people would not have been able to enter Tongcheng .

These things were all broken up and analyzed by Uncle Xu for him. And this also caused Yan Wushuang to be suspicious later. Of course, there are pros and cons. Because of his suspicion, he saved himself from danger several times later. But also because of suspicion, except for a few diehards, it is difficult to trust others wholeheartedly.

Tang Xingping explained: "Third Young Master, there are loyalty and treachery in this world. The people of Liaodong will always remember what the Yan family has done."

When Yan Wushuang heard this, a sneer flashed across the corner of his mouth. The people of Liaodong kept it in their hearts. He didn't feel it, but he deeply realized that the wall fell and everyone pushed it. However, he had no intention of fighting with Tang Xingping, so he changed the topic immediately: "Lian Guo led the troops back to Shengjing, this is our chance to get rid of Xiang Hongda." It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge, and he can't wait ten years. Given the opportunity, he naturally wanted to get rid of Xiang Hongda.

Tang Xingping felt that this was too risky.

"Uncle Tang, Xiang Hongda has real abilities. He can't believe that you have nothing to do with the Yan family. If he doesn't die, we won't even have time to breathe." Now that Xiang Hongda has been targeted, don't get rid of it. This person is dangerous but they.

Tang Xingping still shook his head: "Master, Xiang Hongda and the others have more than ten people, and all of them have martial arts. It is not easy to kill them."

Yan Wushuang felt that this was not a problem at all, and said: "As long as you have the heart, there is nothing you can't do."

Tang Xingping understood: "What does the young master mean?"

"From Chuncheng to Tongcheng, there were many bandits along the way. Xiang Hongda and Yin Tu died in the hands of bandits. The court knew at most and sent people to suppress the bandits a long time ago." Since the court let these bandits and robbers do nothing, it happened that they could use their hands to eliminate them. Get rid of these minions of the Song family.

Of course, this is easier said than done. However, there are many difficulties in implementing it. Xiang Hongda is not a fool either, and he won't take the bait easily. But he has a weakness, that is, he is eager to catch himself. And this is exactly what Yan Wushuang wants to use.

Tang Xingping gasped for breath after watching him finish speaking, and couldn't help but said: "Young master, let's talk about it when you are in better health!"

Yan Wushuang shook his head and said, "If Lian Guo goes and comes back again, if we want to kill him again, we will have no chance."

On the fifth day after Tang Xingping was released, he took a batch of medicinal materials to Tongcheng. This news was not made public.

It was not until Tang Xingping left the city that Xiang Hongda and his party knew about it.

Yin Tu said: "My lord, this Tang Xingping's injuries are still not fully healed. It's too desperate to go to Tongcheng with his injuries." Being abnormal and demonic, he felt that Tang Xingping hurried to Tongcheng for an ulterior purpose.

Xiang Hongda didn't speak.

Yin Tu said again: "My lord, Yan Wushuang's goal is Tongcheng. If we follow their caravan to Tongcheng, it will be difficult for us to kill him."

Xiang Hongda said: "Go and inquire for yourself, and see what's different about their trip to the caravan this time?"

It turned out that the caravan was the same as usual, nothing unusual. The more this happened, the more worried Xiang Hongda was.

Yin Tu said: "My lord, Yan Wushuang must have followed the caravan. My lord, let's catch up!"

"What if there is a fraud?" If Lian Guo was there, he must have let Lian Guo chase him. But now there are only a dozen of them, what if the other party sets a trap.

Yin Tu said: "Why don't we send some government soldiers to go with us?"

Sun Zhe was also very dissatisfied with Xiang Hongda and his party, because they made a mess in Chuncheng. In the past, Boss Xue, Su Changming and others would give him three points. But now, no one pays attention to him as a parent official. As a result, it was difficult for him to handle errands in Chuncheng.

Hearing that Xiang Hongda is an important person, he said perfunctorily that their magistrate's yamen is not enough manpower. In the end, reluctantly, he was given twenty soldiers.

Yin Tu saw that these soldiers were all old men in their fifties, and none of them were in their twenties or thirties. Yin Tu was so angry that these people were not only unable to help, but they were also holding back. Angrily, he went back with a flick of his sleeves.

On that night, the person sent to monitor Tang Xingping sent a message back saying that Tang Xingping invited an old doctor to accompany him on the road. And that doctor is especially good at treating bruises.

Yin Tu said: "My lord, we have to catch up quickly, otherwise it will be too late."

Xiang Hongda frowned and said: "Yan Wushuang is injured, logically speaking, if he really followed the caravan, it is impossible not to reveal some clues."

Yin Tu said: "Maybe it's hidden in some carriage, and our people didn't find it." He felt that it would be more reassuring to go there.

Xiang Hongda still didn't agree to pursue him. But a few days later, when he received a letter from an informant saying that Tang Xingping was coughing in the carriage and that someone was secretly decocting medicine in the caravan in the middle of the night, Xiang Hongda couldn't sit still anymore, and took Yin Tu and others to catch up.

Twelve days later, Tong Chunlin received news that Xiang Hongda and Yin Tu's party had been taken over by bandits.

Lian Guo knew this, and said with a serious face: "General, Xiang Hongda and Yin Tu are so good at martial arts, how could they be killed by bandits. General, there must be something hidden in this."

"The deaths of Xiang Hongda and Yin Tu are most likely the work of Yan Wushuang." After finishing speaking, Tong Chunlin sighed: "I blame my soft heart back then, otherwise what happened today would not have happened."

Lian Guo was startled, but he still said: "Don't worry, General, Yan Wushuang can't hurt you, General."

Tong Chunlin said: "Xiang Hongda and Yin Tu probably thought the same way, so they fell into his hands. He has this method at the age of twelve. If we don't get rid of him, we will all have no peace."

"General, I shouldn't have brought troops back to Shengjing." Since he dared to come back, he naturally had a set of arguments to win Tong Chunlin's trust.

Tong Chunlin shook his head and said, "It's meaningless to say that things have already happened. The most urgent thing is to get rid of him as soon as possible." It is said that Yan Wushuang was smart since he was a child, and he passed it when he heard it before. But now, he has a personal experience.
