1458 Delivered to your door
Liu Pei sneered and said, "It still looks very similar! Now I order you to arrest all the civil and military officials in the city, including officials and servants, and throw them into the military camp! If there is any resistance, killing you!"
Although Major Wei did not understand the profound meaning of Liu Pei's arrangement, he immediately turned around and executed it. Soon, the cry of women and the screams of men rang out in Zhangjiakou Fort! Two gunshots sounded! But these sounds quickly calmed down!
Major Wei came back soon and reported: "Master, all tasks are completed!"
At this time, Liu Pei took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Major Wei and said, "There are some things you have to do. This is a list, and all the people on the list are arrested, and no one is allowed to run away!"
Major Wei took the document and was about to leave when he heard the sound of gongs, drums and suona at the city gate. Everyone looked up and saw a group of local gentry leading a convoy towards him, beating gongs and drums.
When Liu Pei saw these people, he couldn't help but smile! He really wanted to come to whom! Liu Pei immediately ordered Major Wei, and Major Wei called out a group of soldiers on standby with a treacherous smile on his face.
The soldiers stopped them without waiting for them to get closer, and then checked the entire convoy after asking clearly. Then they were allowed to get closer with Liu Pei's permission.
Walking in front of the team were more than thirty local gentry. The person who was walking in the front approached and bowed and said, "The grass-roots man Fan Yongdou met Lord Liu."
Liu Pei said: "Get up!"
After everyone stood up, Fan Yongdou said, "Mr. Liu, we are all gentry from Zhangjiakou. I heard that the Lord led the army here and came to work hard for the army! The car was filled with pigs, sheep, wine, and I hope the Lord will accept it with a smile! In addition, we also prepared some tables in the city, hoping that the Lord could bring these Lords to the city to enjoy the glory! In addition, we also prepared some silver for the army, and we needed to send people to the city to deliver."
Liu Pei smiled and said, "I have heard of the name of Fan Dongjia! I also know that you are the leading figure in the business world of Zhangjiakou! I think the money for the military laborers this time should not be a small amount, right?"
Fan Yongdou was shocked when he heard Liu Pei's words! Looking at Liu Pei's smile again, then he secretly felt happy!
Fortunately, I prepared one million taels of silver, not the first half of 500,000 taels!
Thinking of this, Fan Yongdou bowed and said, "I dare not say too much! We are just trying our best to serve us! Our eight families work together to raise a total of one million taels of silver for the adults! The other gentry raised 300,000 taels! A total of one million taels!"
Liu Pei smiled and said, "One.3 million taels are indeed a lot! I'm afraid there is not so much silver in the inner treasury of the late emperor!"
After saying that, Liu Pei turned his head and said to Major Wei beside him, "Come on the list, most of the people are here!"
After saying that, Liu Pei rode his horse to the city, ignoring the people who were in a daze. Major Wei opened the envelope, looked at the list before he recited: "Fan Yongdou!"
Fan Yongdou didn't know what happened and replied directly: "It's the grass-roots!"
As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, a soldier rushed up and pressed him to the ground and tied him up! The team suddenly became in chaos! The young and strong men who were escorting the cart found that something was wrong, just as they were about to take action, they forced them back for the bayonets of the musket soldiers, and were all forced to kneel on the ground.
Major Wei then continued to call the name, but found that more than a dozen people on the list were all in the team. When Major Wei saw that Zhapu had completed, he immediately mobilized his army to the city to carry out the task of capturing their family.
Just as Major Wei expected, the army did sound gunshots after entering the city, but they quickly calmed down! It seemed that the guards of these people were still on guard.
Major Wei glanced at the reactions of Fan Yongdou and others, and directly ordered them to be taken to the city. As for the things in the convoy's car, he naturally accepted them with a smile.
When Major Wei finished his order and reported to Liu Pei, Liu Pei said: "Bring in the eight people in the front of the list and I'll talk to them."
Soon Fan Yongdou and the others were taken over and knelt in the room in one by one. Liu Pei looked at these people carefully, but there was nothing surprising!
But my wife knew that these eight people were the famous eight great imperial merchants! They quickly accumulated capital with the help of foreign races and became well-known wealthy merchants. However, their descendants did not end up well.
You know, after all, they are Han people! No Man will be true without a man.
Trust them, especially when they have a lot of money.
After a moment of silence, Liu Pei said, "Let's untie the rope for them, they can't make any storms here."
The guard stepped forward and cut off a few ropes and stood up with them. The few people were still in shock and hurriedly moved their hands tied up. Fan Yongdou was the first to raise his chest and said, "Mr. Liu, I don't know what you mean? We are here by the army! Maybe there is a misunderstanding!"
Liu Pei said: "Actually, you should have guessed why I treated you like this, right?"
Fan Yongdou's body trembled slightly, but his face became more normal! He probably felt that Liu Pei wanted to blackmail him instead of killing him! The reason he thought so was because he made the most profit! But what he didn't know was that Liu Pei really wanted his life!
Fan Yongdou, who felt safe, thought how much money he should hand over, while saying, "The grass-roots people don't know!"
Liu Pei said slowly: "How could you not know that? Just because you are accused of being foreign, selling prohibited materials and smuggling weapons, it is not unfair to kill all your family!"
These people were really scared now! They didn't expect Liu Pei to have this information at all! But this matter could never be admitted, so several people denied it one after another.
Liu Pei couldn't help feeling a little disgusted when he saw them. Liu Pei had thought of many questions to ask these people, but at this time he had no desire at all. So he said to the guards around him: "Go to ask the people from the Intelligence Bureau, have the people who are stationed in Zhangjiakou arrived? If they arrive, let them in directly."
The guard bowed and went out, and the room fell into silence. Several people also saw Liu Pei's impatientness and did not dare to make any more noises, just thinking about who Liu Pei would call over.
After a while, the guards opened the door and brought more than 20 people, filling the room with them. Seeing these people, Fan Yongdou and others were shocked!
