Chapter 265: The day before today is known
Zhenzhi was Ruhui's confidant and had experienced these things today. Of course, he understood the meaning of Zhao Jin to Ruhui. Although he didn't know Zhao Jin's preferences, no one disliked the gold, silver and wealth. The gold and silver in the yards and the wealth in the warehouse were really a big deal. Zhenzhi gritted his teeth and made all his promises.
"No hurry, Ruhui knows how to do it. Inquire about it and report to the officials, remember to do it." Zhao Jin said with a smile and walked forward.
The operation of Yunshan Temple this time was mainly unexpected. It was because it came suddenly that everyone was caught off guard. The abbot Yuanxin and Ru Nan were not prepared at all. They never expected that someone would rush into Yunshan Temple directly. In their thoughts, there was a big boss here to protect him and approach Xuzhou Prefecture City. It was definitely foolproof, but they didn't expect that Zhao Jin was so brave.
Yunshan Temple is still very quiet now. If it weren't for the servants of Zhao's name, no one would have known that there had been a major change here. Many monks still dared not leave the monk's room. At that time, Ruhui once told Zhao Jin that Yuanxin and Runan were unscrupulous in their work, so there were naturally many people who could not stand it. In order to suppress these people, they were cruel and strict. Except for their own people, the rest were suppressed. Therefore, in addition to dissatisfied dissidents in Yunshan Temple, there were some timid people who were accustomed to obeying, so there were no need to worry about them getting up to make trouble.
Speaking of fundamentals, after the more than a thousand monk soldiers were dispersed, Yunshan Temple was defeated. Before he recovered, he was the fish on Zhao Jin's chopping board, but it depends on how Zhao Jin used to slaughter it.
Everything went smoothly, and this was the result. Zhao Jin didn't have too excited expressions on his face, and his friends were very calm. In fact, they were just guarding everywhere. The resistance they encountered occasionally was not worth mentioning. Many people were yawning. Zhenzhi didn't dare to neglect at all, so he personally sent Zhao Jin out.
"After I left, Yunshan Temple was closed until dark. At that time, people were sent to report the case. Remember to send people to inspect everywhere, be cautious first."
"Please rest assured by Mr. Zhao." Now both sides have no scruples in speaking, and Shima dares to call him a name.
In the empty field west of Yunshan Temple, the team was simply put together. Before they arrived, the Yuliang and hot soup made by Yunshan Temple had been delivered. It was already a little cold at this time. However, everyone in Zhaoziying was hungry and didn't care so much. They finished eating voraciously, and then formed the team again. Zhaoziying came out one after another. Zhaojin was walking at the end. Before leaving, Zhaojin turned around and asked, "Talk about it, you and Yuanxin are in trouble. Why do you still have a deep hatred for the blood of others? It is said that they have completely controlled Yunshan Temple."
Zhenzhi was stunned, then smiled bitterly on his face, shook his head and said, "A huge temple also requires people to support their face. There are always monks who recite scriptures. What's more, I don't know how to use swords and guns, but only know how to use Buddhism. It's not a disaster to keep it."
Zhao Jin also smiled and shook his head, waved his hand to signal the other party to close the door, and the door that accommodated the ox, horse and carriage passed slowly closed. From outside, Yunshan Temple was quiet and there were no people outside.
"You can't take off your hood, go down the mountain along the same road." Zhao Jin gave the order,
Without enemies, the next step is to go home. The battle just now was very simple, just killing people, and there were no casualties in his own home. Everyone in Zhaoziying was in a relaxed mood.
After walking through the woods and walking along the mountain road when I came, I didn't take long to get to the place where two big trucks were parked. Dong Bingfeng's horses were also parked there. The two merchants leading the way also walked for the middle of the night, but they didn't dare to rest now. They kept looking around there. They breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the masked Zhao Ziying appear and waved to greet him.
"Jin Ye"
"Is there another place on Yunlong Mountain where people can hide? It's not the same as here?" Zhao Jin interrupted the other party's politeness and asked.
"Isn't it the same road?" a man murmured.
"Yes, it's just that you can't find the other side easily along this mountain road, and you can't be seen by too many people on the road." Zhao Jin said.
The two merchants leading the way looked at each other, and one of them thought for a while and answered: "There are places like this, but they are not easy to walk on..."
"Take us here" Zhao Jinyu's quick decision.
It is easy for people to leave, but the loading cart and Dong Bingfeng's mount are difficult to move. Zhao Jin arranged for the servants to drink the remaining water from the jar, and then asked several veterans to accompany the cart to the He family compound with the cart, while Dong Bingfeng rode his horse along the way he could walk to the destination.
This place is a mountain nest, and the terrain is quite clever. From the outside, there are only rocks and short trees, but inside is a very large valley with hundreds of people not crowded inside at all.
"How did you find this place?" Zhao Jin was inevitably a little curious.
"I'm not afraid of being a joke from Master Jin. In such a large place in Xuzhou, there are many flat places, and there are only some undulating and ravines on Yunlong Mountain. In the past, Xuzhou was a place where the canals communicate north and south, so business could only be done here. If the government investigated it strictly, we must avoid it diligently. After walking a lot, the ten-mile mountain range of Yunlong Mountain will be able to figure it out." They explained very attentively. If they were on the rivers and lakes of Xuzhou, if they could curry favor with Zhao Jin, they would have no worries.
People have been arranged to keep watch, and the teams in Zhao Jingying were relaxed and sat or lying. Zhao Jin's order was very simple at this time. He waited for darkness, but Dong Bingfeng had no time to spare. After chatting with Zhao Jin for a few words, he rode down the mountain and left.
Zhao Jin went to bed without falling back. He was very interested in the two businessmen and had to ask more questions.
“Is business easy now?”
"If you go back to Master Jin, life is very difficult now. Since the canal transportation has changed from the Yahe River, the market in Xuzhou has declined. There is no one, no goods or money, so naturally there is no loophole for the young people. Even if you can buy some private goods from Pizhou, no one will come to buy them. Now the young people are all working for the big gangs and earning hard work." When talking about this, the two merchants were a little moved.
Speaking of this, a man smiled and said, "It's a good thing that Jin Ye opened a winery. If he was lucky enough to get two or three jars of famous Hanjing wine, he would be able to buy a lot of money for firewood and rice when he was trafficked out of the city."
"You kid should mix three pounds of water with a pound of wine. You will ruin your reputation outside and you will be embarrassed here." The one next to you said.
As soon as he said that, both of them changed their faces and subconsciously got up and kowtowed to apologize. However, Zhao Jin smiled and waved his hand and said, "Don't sell mixed wine in the future. Give it two jars of you every day to make a name for Zhao's wine."
The two of them were stunned at first, and then they looked excited. It was already lucky that they had three or four jars a month. Now Zhao Jin has made their share of sixty jars a month. This represents a very good investment. Life has been getting better all of a sudden. I thought that 150 taels per person was already a big amount, but I didn't expect that there was still this.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you," the two of them did not dare to be vague this time, so they quickly got up and kowtowed to thank you.
Zhao Jin stopped him with a smile, and asked again: "Tell me your name, and what's going on with these big gangs?"
At the beginning, Zhao Jin didn't want to know the names of these two people because there was no need for this. Now it seems that it is worth winning over. One is called Jiao Dazhu and the other is called Zhang Guan.
"On the salt road, the big guys from Huai'an Prefecture sent people to transport salt. At a time, dozens of cars were on board, and southern goods on the canal were transported by large trucks in Pizhou. After our Xuzhou distribution, we boarded the boat from Sanxian Beidu to Henan. This time, dozens of cars were more than a hundred vehicles, and there were more than a hundred guards alone. There were official relations, so no one dared to touch them, let alone benefit from it." These two people were indeed local snakes, and Jiao Dazhu said it very clearly.
"It seems that there is food in Pizhou here, and these are from the grain. This group of people are involved in the Scent of Scent of Sweet Sect, and Xuzhou is even more afraid to touch it." Zhang Guan, who was next to him, added.
Zhao Jin nodded slowly, and he knew that the private salt, southern goods and grains were collected from the canal transport. He knew that the three immortals crossed the north to Hejiazhuang less than ten miles away. He knew that Zhao Ziying had just arrived at Hejiazhuang, and gaining a foothold was the top priority and he didn't care about other things.
As we chatted, Zhao Jin felt sleepy. He had arranged everything he should have done and did everything he should have done. The next thing he wanted was to wait. The sun shone into the mountain nest. Zhao Jin was warm all over and fell asleep unknowingly.
There is no difference between Xuzhou City and Zhao Jin before leaving. Many people think that Zhao Jin can be more comfortable and happy after leaving, but nothing has changed.
Zhao Jin left, Wang Zhaojing stayed, and nearly a hundred servants were stationed in the city, which was enough to keep it unchanged. A few days ago, when Zhao Jin left, there was a problem with a pot that day, and the amount of alcohol produced decreased. According to the rules set by Zhao Jin, the wine sold decreased that day. Some merchants who bought wine were immediately furious and got angry outside.
This is the first time. When Zhao Jin was still in Xuzhou City, such a thing never happened. I don’t know if the merchant’s noise was because of the incompetence of his temper or because Zhao Jin was not around, the merchant even said the rampant words “I smashed your winery”.
However, he was only rampant here. The servants in the winery rushed out and pressed the merchant to the ground and beat him up. Then they moved all the wine they had sold to him back. The merchant's friend wanted to resist, but in addition to the stick, he also pointed the spear.
People who watched the fun thought that the businessman deserved to be unlucky, so they became honest after being beaten. No one expected that the businessman went directly to the government to complain, saying that Hanjing winery forced to buy and sell, and was beaten and injured. This is not a nonsense. After all, he was beaten and had a bruised nose and swollen face. He was so brave. Moreover, everyone saw that a well-faced official from the torture room came out to receive him. People who were familiar with the traits felt strange. Is this person crazy?
Not long after, several constables came out and directly stole the merchant in. The movements were very rough. The official looked angry and raised his voice to scold him. He never thought that Li Shuban from the torture room had also come out and scolded the subordinate mercilessly.
When the merchant came out, his face was covered with whip marks and his arms were broken. He threw it on the street in front of the yamen gate. Someone else spat on him viciously.
Someone came to pick him up, but the staff in the arresting house were not released. In the end, he gave dozens of taels of silver to get out. After the news spread in the city, everyone understood something again. Although Zhao Jin was not there, everyone still couldn't afford to offend his industry and power.
The next day, another vague news circulated in the city, saying that the merchant was from Xue Xiaozong, the owner of Yunshanxing. Last night, Xue Xiaozong gave out several gifts, one to the prefect Tong Taizun, one to the Zhao family, one to the Chen family, and one to the arresting house.
Those who don’t understand it all understand it. Seeing Zhao Jin and exiting the city, Mr. Xue from Yunshan wanted to test it, but he never thought he was disappointed.
Only then did everyone realize that Zhao Jin was a strong man, and his father was also the number one person in Xuzhou City, not to mention that Chen Huang's father was the headmaster. He could not afford to offend such a person. Only then did everyone realize that Zhao Jin and Chen Huang were too dazzling in the past that no one would pay attention to their fathers.
Li and Chen Ergou both dared not move around. Zhao Jin was arrogant, and Zhao Zhentang and Chen Wu were also arrogant to them. Moreover, in the past, Zhao Jin delegated power and could not control so many details. Now Zhao Zhentang and Chen Wu have been constables for so many years, and are even more local than them. They are clear about each other and even keep a close eye on the small things, which makes them even more difficult.
And this matter was not over. At noon the next day, Yunshanxing and Yunshanlou could not do business. The beggar and refugees blocked the door and refused to leave. They wanted to use force. The beggar and refugees fought with you. After being bleeding and injured, they rolled on the ground and were worried. They invited the officers. The officers did not care about the beggars and refugees, but they wanted to arrest the murderer who was hit. If they wanted to give the money, they would take it and just not leave.
In addition, Yunshanxing and Yunshanlou could never get a jar of wine. The business losses were real. There was no business in Xuzhou City, and no one would pay attention to it without this wine.
After all this trouble, Xue Xiaozong had to pay again and made some guarantees, so that his own business could continue.
The matters about Yunshan Travel and Yunshan Tower also reached Zhao Jin. Zhao Jin didn't care much. This was expected. Yunshan Temple used sorghum to exchange wine. Both sides had great benefits, but both sides were definitely not partners but enemies. Yunshan Temple would tempt and harass him.
Although he led a large group of troops to leave Xuzhou City, he was very imposing, and he didn't think he was running away or forced to leave, but after all, he left. For most people, Zhoucheng is the heart of Xuzhou ground, especially this place where Zhao Jin started his business, and the winery and other things were in the city. Leaving here was a loss of power in a sense, so Xue Xiaozong would test it.
This test made all the people who were tempted in Xuzhou City prove one thing: Zhao Jin was not in the city, but Zhoucheng still had to listen to him.
Of course, Xuzhou City would not know what happened in Yunshan Temple, but people passing by Yunshanxing and Yunshan Tower were still very strange. In such a good weather, it is rare for people from all over the country to enter the city. Why is Yunshanxing and Yunshan Tower no longer doing business? The door is closed, and the gate of Yunshanxing is closed, but there are many cars and horses parked at the back door. You can hear the noise in the backyard outside.
"Click" sound, I don't know what's inside broken, and then the screams of a woman sounded and angry scolded her.
"You killer, this big vase is the best in Suzhou."
"What's the name? Stop worrying, move it quickly." Another angrily shouted in anger and immediately calmed down.
The weather was clear, but you had to wear a robe while sitting in the house. However, Xue Xiaozong's forehead was covered with sweat and his face was extremely pale. He was holding a tea bowl on his hand, but the tea bowl and the bowl cover kept colliding, making continuous sounds because Xue Xiaozong's hands were trembling.
Kong Jiuying said that he had a team of three hundred horses and went to his own house with 1,100 monk soldiers. If these people were lucky, they could even take Xuzhou City. Why couldn't they defeat a He family compound? It is said that more than half of the monk soldiers were killed or injured. When he was jumping his feet and scolding Kong Jiuying for being betrayed, the person who reported the news also reminded him that even if there was no horse team of the Kong family, Zhao Jin would have crippled our monk soldiers. You didn't see it, you were fighting with a spear.
The teenagers, with less than 600 people, have not yet established a stable foothold in Hejiazhuang, how could they defeat their superior strength several times? Xue Xiaozong clearly remembers Ru Nan once told himself that the thousands of monk soldiers in Yunshan Temple are also elite in the Ming army. At critical moments, they can be expanded by more than 10,000 yuan. There is no enemy in Xuzhou.
"Brave, brag, I don't know how much it has been deducted." Xue Xiaozong cursed in distractedly, and even fought as soon as he opened his mouth.
Xue Xiaozong did not want to vent his anger. He had seen a village in the lower courtyard of Dangshan causing trouble. The tenants of the village called their friends and got thousands of people. As a result, three hundred monks went over and completely broke up the villagers and tenants who caused trouble, just like tigers entering a flock of sheep.
Such a strong force, so badly beaten by someone, is Zhao Jin so strong? How strong is he? Why did he have a deep hatred with such a person?
Xue Xiaozong was extremely frightened. He knew that the Zhao family was strong in Xuzhou City, and that he would definitely suffer any disaster when he stayed in the city. For the sake of the present, he had to leave Xuzhou City and go somewhere else.
Even though he was impatient, he was afraid, but Xue Xiaozong did not lose his rationality. He knew that Zhao Jin was very fierce, but he also knew that Zhoucheng was the place where the king's law was. Zhao Jin and his related forces could not come directly to the door. He still had time to leave, but Xue Xiaozong always felt uncomfortable.
