Chapter 68 Take the initiative! Search Li Sancai!

Zhang Gui was too lazy to talk to Zhao Nanxing and went directly back to Taikang Bo's Mansion.

Zhao Nanxing felt uneasy.

At this time, Sun Chengzong also came over and said: "Otsuka Zai, you just got up and returned to the capital. You still don't know that our uncle is very like a member of the Wang Xuemen. He only acts according to his own conscience and does not know how to act."

It’s affected by the discussion of material interests. In short, you’d better not offend him!”

"Why didn't you, Sun Zhisheng, tell you earlier?"

Zhao Nanxing slandered and thought: "I have offended such a powerful person who is not easily led by scholars to be a Confucian scholar!"

Tianqi soon learned from Wei Zhongxian about Zhang Gui's whipping of Zhao Nanxing.

After hearing this, Tianqi asked with some surprise: "Is this really true?"

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly raised his head to look at Tianqi's face and said, "It's absolutely true! Uncle Guo also scolded Otsuka Zai."

Tianqi put away his expression when Wei Zhongxian raised his head and asked, "What do you think about this matter?"

Wei Zhongxian knew that Tianqi was going to test him, so he had already thought about how to respond before he decided to report it, but he still pretended to be surprised and thought for a while before saying: "I think this is a good thing.

It’s not a good thing to get along well with them, or to be afraid of them!”

Tianqi then smiled and nodded: "What a good slave!"

This time some civil servants petitioned for King Xin to ascend the throne, which made him realize that when the civil servants were at their strongest, no matter how arrogant their relatives were, they could not be the masters of the Ming Dynasty; but the same surname was different for the clan members.

Being targeted by civil servants and Confucian officials.

Therefore, Tianqi then ordered: "Keep an eye on the Confucian officials around the clan! The Confucian officials around King Xin dared to do this this time, which shows that your factory guards have made some mistakes!"

"My slave knows the crime!"

Wei Zhongxian replied.

"Forget it this time! If something like this happens again in the future, please leave the factory guard alone!"

Tianqi said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Wei Zhongxian replied with sweat on his head.

Then, Tianqi asked: "How are those rebellious ministers doing?"

"Under trial."

Wei Zhongxian replied.

Tianqi said: "Hurry up and interrogate him. Catch the ones who deserve to be arrested! That Li Sancai, we first sent people to arrest him and ransack his home!"

"yes!"

…

Taikangbo Mansion.

As soon as Zhang Gui came back, he saw Han Gui waiting here. He threw the riding whip to Huang Degong, who had been promoted to Xichang and was in charge of the punishment of thousands of households. Then he sat down with his robe and asked Han Gui: "Xichang is checking Li Sancai."

How was the investigation of the smuggling of golden nanmu?"

Han Gui said: "According to Enfu's wishes, the evidence has been found and returned to Shao Ting, a merchant in Li Sancai's house who was engaged in smuggling golden nanmu. This person has been bribed by his disciples and provided evidence of Li Sancai's smuggling of golden nanmu."

"In other words, our West Factory can also send out the official school to arrest him?"

Zhang Gui asked.

Han Gui nodded: "I'm just waiting for Enfu to give the order."

"Then what are you waiting for! People have begun to collude with the Jianlu to massacre me in the Western Mountains. We can't remain in a passive state of being beaten! We have to take the initiative!"

Zhang Gui said and looked at Huang Degong: "When the time comes, Huang Qianhu will personally lead the Xichang official school to arrest him, Li Sancai."

"yes!"

Huang Degong agreed.

Zhang Gui then gave him a few more instructions, and then said to Han Gui: "You should also go and open a few more Xichang shops by the canal. By the way, you can buy some orphans along the river and send them to Xishan to study.

, as the future team members of Xichang and Xishan, whoever is killed in the Jia Ding team and Xichang team and has no heirs will choose an orphan as his descendant, give him his surname, and observe filial piety for him, and burn paper money for sacrifices during festivals."

Zhang Gui had already set up a school in Xishan, and specialized in cultivating natural science knowledge and ethnic education for some adopted orphans, in an attempt to sow the seeds of the Han people in the new era of the Ming Dynasty, and prepare to compete with Confucian scholars all over the world for the right to speak in the future.

No matter how he teaches these orphans, no one says anything, and these orphans themselves don’t know anything. For them, it’s good to have enough to eat, and it’s unimaginable for them to be able to read and write. How can they still

No matter what Zhang Gui taught them.

Han Gui nodded and said: "Understood!"

Huang Degong and other officers from the Xichang Official School were quite moved when they heard that Zhang Guimai's orphans would be the sons of those killed in battle in the future. They thought that the commander-in-chief had really thought carefully about them.

As for Huang Degong, what he remembered even more was what Uncle Guo said outside Xiyuan, "A good man is the one who goes into battle to kill the enemy." He did not expect that the noble Uncle Guo would treat him like this.

Wu Bian, who was born in the military, regarded people more seriously than scholars.

Huang Degong therefore determined to work well in Xichang. He also had to admit that as long as he worked well in the official school where Uncle Guo worked, he would be promoted and receive many benefits.

For example, Man Gui has been promoted to the right commander of the rear military governor's office for guarding the palace ban at a critical moment, Zhou Yuji has also been promoted to the governor and tongzhi, and Sun Yingyuan has also been promoted from a staff general to deputy commander-in-chief.

These are all examples.

"Report, there is no one in the Li family now! The family property is empty! Even the land has been sold to other big families at a discount!"

What Huang Degong didn't expect was that when he was determined to work well under Zhang Gui and hurriedly brought the Xichang Official School to Li Sancai's residence in Zhangjiawan, he came to nothing.

Huang Degong had no choice but to go to the grocery store in Zhangjiawan area that was the contact point of the West Factory in plainclothes. After communicating in code with the shopkeeper here, he asked: "What's going on? The people from the East Factory copied it first?"

"Dongchang didn't copy it either. It was Li Sancai who took a boat to go south more than half a year ago."

After the grocery store owner returned, he handed a note to Huang Degong: "But Master Chen, don't be upset. We already know his current address. Master Chen should go there as soon as possible!"

Huang Degong glanced at the address on the note and asked, "Does Dongchang know this address?"

The shopkeeper shook his head.

However, Dongchang has its own intelligence system.

More than half a month later, Xu Xianchun had personally brought Dongchang Banner School to Suzhou. Upon arrival, he asked Dongchang's spies here: "Has Li Sancai left?"

The spy replied: "Not yet."

However, before Xu Xianchun's men disembarked from the boat and landed, someone spotted them and hurried back.

Therefore, as soon as Xu Xianchun landed, a large group of people came over with clubs, swords, guns and even firearms. Among these volunteers, there were many soldiers commanding them.

boom!

boom!

boom!

Before Xu Xianchun could say anything, these people fired firearms directly at the Dongchang Banner School on Xu Xianchun's side, killing and wounding several Tiqimen on the spot.

Xu Xianchun was shocked when he saw this: "What a Li Sancai! How dare you instigate unruly people to protect him!"

"If you want to capture Mr. Shugo, you must pass our level first!"

"Mr. Shugo is not guilty!"

"If you eunuchs and eagle dogs dare to run wild in our city of Suzhou, don't blame us for being rude!"

…

These Suzhou citizens began to shout after the first round of shooting.

Xu Xianchun and the Dongchang Banner School under his command had never experienced a war, so they did not know how to deal with such a large-scale popular uprising and were at a loss.

Xu Xianchun could only shout with anger and anger: "Are you going to rebel?!"

"The king is the most important, the people are the most important, and the country is the second most important thing. Even the emperor cannot ignore the public opinion of the world! Mr. Xiuwu is a good official who makes decisions for the people and is the leader of our Shilin! You can't take him away!"

A scholar shouted.

"Yes, you can't take Mr. Shugo away!"

Then, another scholar shouted.

At this time, behind this large group of soldiers and civilians, on the bank of another river, Li Sancai, who was sitting in a large boat docked here, saw this scene and just smiled and sighed: "It's the righteous people of Suzhou who have feelings. Factory It’s very difficult for Wei to catch me!”

Then, Li Sancai couldn't help but think of what he had just learned recently about the failure of the plan to invite prisoners to enter the customs. He couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said: "It's just hateful! This uncle Zhang Guo has repeatedly used strange tricks to ruin my great cause in Donglin!"

boom!

But, just now.

Loud noises suddenly appeared.

The soldiers and civilians of Suzhou who besieged the Dongchang Banner School were immediately plowed into a bloody path by many flying artillery shells.

"ah!"

Many Suzhou citizens screamed in agony.
