- The 30% protection fee is really not much if there is no group of bandits on the road and you can really reach your destination smoothly.
The caravans are well aware of the routes they often take and how many heroes they will meet on the mountaintops along the way. They also have an agreement when dealing with them all the year round: don¡¯t go too far and just take your route. Otherwise, although the south road is farther, But the heroes over there need less money.
The banditry business is also competitive.
But now, the story of the Luo family's rangers slaying the bandits has not yet spread. How could the caravans and caravans coming out of Lingyuan County believe that they could have a worry-free journey? Seeing that the situation was not right, they all chose to retreat to the city.
??You pay 30% as soon as you go out, and you will encounter bandits on the road. You can't make a lot of money with this batch of goods!
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Not long after, the streets in the city were tightly blocked by the convoy that had just left and come back, no one could even think of going out now.
The three city gates are all the same, they are all blocked.
"There are five hundred in total, and they are all cavalry?"
When the county magistrate Lingyuan heard the news, his face instantly turned pale, and he knew that he had gotten into trouble and provoked a big shot.
It¡¯s scary to be able to recruit five hundred infantry. Only the commander of the guards of the nearby city has the authority to mobilize so many soldiers at once. Not to mention those thousand-household stations, the one or two hundred soldiers were all old, weak, sick and disabled, and they were all on empty pay.
What is even more frightening is that they are all cavalry, and they are all equipped with two horses. The treatment and lineup have never been heard of.
Except for the frontier troops in the northwest and two frontiers, who can afford cavalry now?
Even if Xia Homu, the commander-in-chief of Guangning, is able to pull out five hundred cavalry, let alone the high-level treatment of one person and two horses.
"Who is this? Who did I offend?"
The county magistrate of Lingyuan all doubted whether the Qingyuan Army came down along the canal, because only the Qingyuan Kingdom, which controls the entire grassland, has the strength to do this.
He was so suspicious in the county government office, but the Luo Jiajun outside would not give his number or say anything. He was just here to collect protection money.
"If you don't give me money, go back! Except for ordinary people, no caravan can even think of coming out!"
Of course Luo Jiajun will not embarrass the people. Those who carry burdens, those who lead donkeys, those who carry backpacks, and those who are empty-handed will all be allowed without a single copper plate.
The common people were no longer afraid, but were happily discussing and speculating. However, the merchants were not happy and did not dare to argue with the soldiers. They went to the Yamen to find the magistrate and asked the head office for clarification.
"What's going on? You paid the money as soon as you got off the boat, why did you do this? What do you mean by Lingyuan County?"
There was a lot of noise outside the yamen, and of course the magistrate couldn't sit still, so he called in the boss of the Chihu Gang who controlled the dock.
"Your people got into great trouble. Do you remember those dozen soldiers who were on the dock a few days ago?"
"I know."
The boss of the Red Tiger Gang nodded gloomily. He knew about the news about the cavalry blocking the door outside the city earlier than the county magistrate, and his heart was already in high spirits.
He was originally a soldier, capable of fighting and killing, so he returned to the local area and started such a gang. Now he is doing well.
So he knows better than anyone else what a lineup of five hundred cavalry means.
The goods are still withheld. Obviously, we must submit to this matter and apologize to others. But the problem is that neither the county magistrate nor the boss of Chihu dare to go out and stand out, for fear of being attacked by others as soon as they leave the city gate. Cut it off with one knife.
How much courage does it take to dare to lead troops to besiege a city, but I don¡¯t dare to kill you?
Due to the pressure caused by more and more businesses outside the government office, the magistrate forced his chief clerk to take two government servants, and accompanied by the deputy leader of the Red Tiger Gang, several scapegoats walked out of the west gate tremblingly.
"Go back, you have no right to see my general!"
As soon as I signed up, I was yelled at by an officer.
"Who is he?"
When the officer saw that the deputy leader of the Red Tiger Gang was not dressed as a yamen official, he pointed his riding whip and shouted coldly.
"The villain pretended to be the Black Tiger, the deputy leader of the Red Tiger Gang. I offended many people on the dock that day, but"
Before he finished speaking, he heard the officer¡¯s order: ¡°Arrest him!¡±
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Several cavalrymen flew down from their horses and drew their swords at the same time. The cold blade circled Mao Heihu's neck.
Mao Heihu is also a warrior, but if he had the courage to resist, he would be tied up obediently. He was still smiling bitterly in his heart: Sure enough, it will be like this after he comes out.
Or maybe the boss, Jiang Chihu, just refused to come out. He had expected it a long time ago and followed himThese soldiers cannot be reasoned with.
Jiang Chihu¡¯s meaning is: send someone away so that the military men can calm down first.
The rules of the gang are like this. When the boss is in trouble, the younger brother takes the blame. You swore an oath when you joined the gang, otherwise you will not be accepted.
The chief clerk and several government officials returned safely and reported to the county magistrate: "Looking at this, we also learned that the county magistrate must go out in person to negotiate. We are not qualified at all."
"You see, is it really our Jin Dynasty's army?"
The magistrate of Lingyuan must confirm this before he dares to go out.
Jiang Chihu rolled his eyes at the side and said to himself: If the Qingyuan Army had come in long ago, would they still negotiate with you?
In a county, there are only dozens of ordinary soldiers guarding the city gates, and there are less than a hundred people including government officials and police officers. Why should they resist the regular cavalry? The key is that you don't even have time to close the city gate, and there is no advantage of the city wall.
Knowing that there was no way to escape, the magistrate of Lingyuan could only glare at Jiang Chihu hatefully and said in his heart: He is too indulgent on weekdays and is not so complacent. No, something will happen sooner or later
There was no other way. He could only walk out of the yamen tremblingly accompanied by the chief clerk and the yamen servants. He temporarily calmed down the protesting caravan with a few words, and then walked towards the west gate as if going to the execution ground.
Next to the pier, there is a large passenger ship docked. It is more than 20 feet long and can carry more than a hundred passengers. However, it can only travel on a relatively stable canal.
This ship looks ordinary on the outside, but the interior decoration is quite luxurious. There are more than 20 guards resting in the bottom cabin, and a dozen more people are hiding in various places to take turns guarding.
In the upper luxury cabin, there is a man in his early thirties. Although he is not middle-aged, he already has a strong sense of majesty in his demeanor. It is obvious that he has been in power for a long time. This kind of majesty seems to have been cultivated since childhood. , is by no means comparable to the so-called official power of ordinary officials.
He was drinking tea and reading a book, quite calm.
????????????????????????????????????????????¡
His guard captain came back. After entering the door, he knelt down and saluted, and immediately reported: "Third Master, my subordinates have found out that the chaos on the street is due to a cavalry of 500 people outside the city"
After all the circumstances were explained in detail, the third master pondered and said: "Five hundred cavalry, one person and two horses, they all look like elite soldiers with a fierce spirit When did such a group of people come out of the hinterland of the Jin Dynasty?"
¡°They didn¡¯t raise a flag, and they never reported their number.¡±
The guard captain lowered his head and replied: "Third Master, I apologize, I really can't judge."
"Do not blame you."
The third master smiled and waved his hands: "This kind of siege can be a big or small crime, and it must not be blatant. However, they only blocked the city gate and did not commit any other atrocities. At most, they were just leading troops to cause trouble. If you can tell For this reason, in the current situation, the imperial court does not care about punishment. Instead, it wants to reuse this powerful cavalry. "
"Third Master, I would like to take a guess at the origin of this cavalry."
At this time, a young man dressed as a scholar slowly walked in from the hatch on the other side. He had been standing on the deck just now with the doors and windows open. He actually heard the conversation between the third master and the guard captain.
"oh?"
Third Master smiled and nodded: "Mr. Guan, please tell me."
"A few days ago, do you still remember Luo Dong, who was very successful in quelling the chaos in Guangling Mansion?" Mr. Guan said with a smile.
"right!"
The third master then suddenly realized: "He wants a ranger general with 500 cavalry!"
He tilted his head and said, "But the time is too short, it's impossible, right?"
"It is precisely because it is impossible that this person appears to be extraordinary."
Mr. Guan said slowly: "When I was in Beijing, I paid attention to the information related to him. In the Battle of Hongyu, he was still a low-level soldier, but he killed a strong general like Duan Qianmuler. He deserved no credit but didn't say a word. Such a person It¡¯s strange that it doesn¡¯t make me curious.¡±
"Well, maybe it's really him."
Third Master nodded: "I was promoted to a fourth-grade general in just half a year. I was promoted too fast. It's normal to be a little arrogant. Let me tell you, most people really don't dare to do this."
"Hearing what Third Master said, I am even more certain that it must be this person."
Mr. Guan chuckled and flattered him without leaving any trace.
The Third Master smiled and waved his hand, and said: "Then another question arises. How could he organize a cavalry of this size in such a short period of time and the court did not allocate funds? Before, everyone thought, His ranger general is just a young man who is ignorant and is just fooling around"
So, these unidentified people started targeting ¡®Luo Dong¡¯Various inferences and speculations
An hour later, Luo Chong, the ranger general, led only a dozen guards and slowly entered the city, carefully accompanied by the magistrate of Lingyuan County.
The three city gates are temporarily open, no fees are charged, and caravans can pass normally.
But it is only temporary. Whether the door will continue to be blocked depends on how Magistrate Lingyuan and Lord Chihu behave.
Luo Chong wants to take control of this county, not to kill the magistrate and Chihu. If he really does this, it will be the same as rebellion. It is not a normal development step and is certainly not advisable.
It is not necessary to replace the current magistrate, because the transfer and replacement of officials takes too long. Even if Luo Chong has the patience, it is better to conquer the magistrate and the boss of Chihu directly. After all, they have been operating here for many years, and they have gone up and down. Everything is easy to do. If it were two people, it would take half a year just to get familiar with the business.
The first step in the process of conquest is to intimidate. This is why the cavalry blocked the door. No need to say any intimidating words, they were already trembling with fear.
The second step is communication, which involves coercion and inducement, so Luo Chong entered the city with the magistrate.
Luo Chong asked Lingyuan County Magistrate to call Boss Chihu and find a place to eat and drink. Sit down and we can chat slowly.
Shunfeng Restaurant, the most high-end restaurant in Lingyun County, is actually the property of the Chihu Gang. Not only did the Chihu Boss himself come, he also brought another deputy gang leader.
Xia Baihu, a woman, is not wearing a skirt, but a light white and well-fitting warrior uniform.
"White Tiger?"
Luo Chong subconsciously glanced at the two plump and slender thighs, but in this world, a white tiger is just a white tiger. There is no myth about the four-faced mythical beast, and it has nothing to do with whether a woman has hair or not.
