Chapter 92 Killing the Fox (End of this volume, 6500-word chapter please subscribe)

The secretary of the Lifang who was responsible for recovering the jingbiao came to Changning Weizhong in a show of force. He held the official document from the county government and shouted for Lin Baihu to come out.

Lin Mojun happened to lead the troops to conduct exercises at sea, and the old man took Su Ze, who had just returned to Changning Guard from the county, to meet the assistant secretary.

"The county magistrate has issued an order, and the banners of the previous hundred households of Changning Guard will be sent back to the county government for the time being."

Hearing this, the people of Changningwei said angrily: "My family died for the country! Why should we recover the jingbiao!"

The clerk of the ceremonial room was a little afraid at first, but when he saw the government officials behind him, he thought of Dian Shi and Xu Shisheng who were supporting him, and immediately said fiercely: "The county government is not recovering the jingbiao, it is just sending it back to the county government temporarily.

, wait until the survey is correct and then send it back to you! Are your Chang Ning Guards going to rebel??"

Once the label of rebellion was slapped on the people, no one dared to step forward.

The secretary of the ceremonial room even said proudly: "Get the notice back quickly, I want to go back to the county government to do business!"

The old grandpa was about to step forward to argue, but Su Ze stopped him and whispered in his ear:

"Grandpa, the county government suddenly wants to take back the notice. I'm afraid there is something hidden. I'll go find out."

After saying that, Su Ze took out some broken silver from his body, and then pulled the ceremonial assistant aside.

Skill, activate.

After a certain skill was activated, the helper's attitude improved a lot.

The ceremonial room itself didn't have much luck, and there were only a few occasions where money could be made. Originally, the assistant thought that Changningwei was a poor place and couldn't get filial piety, but he didn't expect Su Ze to be so righteous.

After the clerk accepted the scraps of money, he cleared his throat and said: "This young husband is a sensible person at first glance. The temporary withdrawal of the banner is an order from the county magistrate. Please don't make it difficult for me to do this."

.”

Su Ze raised his hands and said, "I know it's the order from the county magistrate, but why do you want to withdraw the banner suddenly?"

The assistant looked at Su Ze and weighed the money in his arms and said:

"This is what our household, Uncle Xu, suggested to the elder."

As expected, it was Xu Shisheng who was causing the obstruction. Su Ze suppressed his anger and continued to ask:

"I wonder if we, Chang Ning Guard, have made any big mistake, so our banner should be withdrawn?"

The Lifang assistant said: "The fault is that you have offended Uncle Xu. For the sake of you being a scholar, I will tell you a piece of news."

After saying that, the hostess hooked up with the book, and Su Ze immediately understood that this meant adding money.

Su Ze handed over some broken silver again, and the ceremonial assistant said:

"News from Fuzhou City, Master Yan, the censor of the Qing army, requested an order from the Chief Envoy to summon the officials in charge of the households in each county to assist the Qing army. Uncle Xu is the official in charge of the households in Nanping City. Your Chang Ning Guard is going to fall.

It’s really bad!”

Su Ze was shocked. The assistant told him again what happened in Fuzhou Prefecture that was tortured by Yan Maoqing. Su Ze immediately understood the whole story.

It turns out that this is how Xu Shisheng got in touch with Yan Maoqing and then falsely accused Chang Ningwei.

After everyone was contacted, Su Ze regained his composure.

There is no room for relaxation between Xu Shisheng and Changning Wei, and the only result is a fight to the death.

Yan Maoqing of the Qing army was the king of hell, while Xu Shisheng, who was working for the tiger, was a kid.

The king of hell is easy to deal with, but the devil is difficult to deal with.

Su Ze thought for a while and said: "Lin Baihu has gone to sea for training. Our Chang Ningwei will send this signal to the county government ourselves. Please return to the county first."

The group of books hesitated for a moment. Changningwei's banner was a rather heavy plaque, and it would take a lot of effort to transport it back.

Seeing the small amount of money Su Ze sent, the assistant said: "You will send it to the county government within three days."

"Definitely."

The helper nodded with satisfaction, and Su Ze asked again: "I wonder if Uncle Xu is leaving for Fuzhou City now?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Don't you want to have some exercise? What if Uncle Xu forgives our Chang Ning Guard?"

The assistant immediately understood what Su Ze meant. He nodded and said, "Uncle Xu will set off tomorrow, but I advise you not to waste your money."

After saying this, the ceremonial assistant took the manpower and left Changning Guard without looking back.

It was not until the afternoon that Lin Mojun led the troops back to Changning Guard. After receiving the news, she immediately came to the ancestral hall to discuss matters.

My grandpa, Su Ze, Ninth Auntie, and Lin Xianzong, a master craftsman from the shipyard, were present, and Lin Xianyang stood behind my grandpa.

This is the person who is responsible for decision-making in Changning Guard. Together with Lin Mojun, a hundred households in the guard, all major issues in Changning Guard are decided through discussion.

The atmosphere in the ancestral hall today was very heavy. After Lin Mojun stepped in, he asked: "The county government wants to recover my father's banner?"

The old man sighed helplessly, and Su Ze said: "Recovering the jingbiao is only the first step. Xu Shisheng is going to take action against Changning Wei."

Lin Mojun was not too surprised when she heard Xu Shisheng's name. She knew the hatred between Lao Baihu and Changning Wei best.

After Su Ze finished explaining the key points, Lin Mojun was silent for a while and said:

"My father still has some old friends with the general manager, why don't we think of a solution?"

Su Ze shook his head and said: "The imperial censor Qingjun has put everyone in the general department in danger. How can there be anyone who will stand up for Chang Ning Wei? Besides, even if he helps, it may not be effective."

Lin Mojun clenched his fists and said, "Is there no other way?"

When I think of my father who sacrificed his life for the country, now he still has to be recovered by the county government, and may even be blackmailed by the imperial censor and lose his hereditary military position.

Lin Mojun felt a strong sense of powerlessness.

For the first time, she was shaken by the belief that her father taught her to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty.

Su Ze winked at Lin Xianyang, and Lin Xianyang closed the door of the ancestral hall and made sure that no one was eavesdropping.

Su Ze then said: "There is another way."

Everyone looked at Su Ze. At this time, he actually said there was a way?

Lin Mojun asked: "What can I do?"

Su Ze said: "Kill Xu Shisheng."

The ancestral hall fell silent for a moment, and the voices seemed to have solidified.

After a long time, Lin Mojun said: "Xu Shisheng is a county official."

"We pretended to be Japanese pirates outside the city, robbed and killed him."

Lin Mojun was silent for a while and said: "Now that the sea is not peaceful, Xu Shisheng will definitely have someone to escort him."

Su Ze said: "Just kill Xu Shisheng."

"How sure are you?"

"About five points."

Aunt Ninth suddenly said: "This method is good, but Su Ze can't go!"

Lin Xianyang also said: "Yes! Brother Aze will take the imperial examination and become an official in the future, so we can't get involved in this kind of thing."

Su Ze said: "I want to go."

He looked at Lin Mojun and said: "The ones escorting Xu Shisheng must be the people in the county. If they recognize the soldiers, they cannot use the guards."

Lin Mojun nodded. The county's civilians would sometimes join forces with the guardsmen to fight. Even if it was a masked robbery, the soldiers' size would be easy to recognize.

Su Ze said: "Let the newly trained gunners go and I will take them."

Lin Mojun said: "The people in Nanping City are strong and fierce. How can a gunsmith be able to beat them after only practicing for such a short period of time?"

Su Ze said: "We just want to kill Xu Shisheng, not to annihilate all Minzhuangs. We just want to frighten those Minzhuangs."

Lin Mojun thought for a moment and said, "I want to go too."

"That's natural."

Su Ze then said to my old grandpa: "I also want to ask my old grandpa to select some reliable young men from the army."

"Aze, don't worry, this time I will definitely choose someone whose wealth is in the guardhouse."

Su Ze added: "You have to volunteer."

The old man nodded and said, "I understand."

Just when the Changning Guards were planning to kill Xu Shisheng, Xu Shisheng was purchasing goods to be shipped to Fuzhou City.

There are many dignitaries and dignitaries gathered in Fuzhou City, and many commodities from Nanping City can make money when shipped to Fuzhou City.

However, this road is not safe. It is not only infested by Japanese pirates and bandits, but also by private checkpoints set up by Yanping Guards and various county guards. For ordinary merchants, exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes can offset most of the profits once they go back and forth.

Although Xu Shisheng is the head of the household in Nanping City, there are still Yanping Prefecture outside Nanping City, and there are other prefectures and counties outside Yanping Prefecture. If he wants to transport goods to Fuzhou City, he still cannot escape these tax cards.

But this time Xu Shisheng had received an order from the Chief Envoy of Fujian Province and was on a business trip to Fuzhou Prefecture. With the support of Yan Maoqing, the censor of the Qing army, he was not afraid of being robbed at checkpoints along the way.
