What's more, the He Gang has long been one of Liu Haojia's targets, and he has already had many people bribed among them. Therefore, although we don't know what their final goal is, we can already guess one or two through the general actions of the leader. , this is the reason why Liu Haojia ambushed them!
While investigating the He Gang and Cangzhou Gang, the people around Liu Haojia thought of the cell leader He Lishui! This guy was a local and a prison boss, and he was willing to seek refuge with Liu Haojia, so he made tentative contact with him.
Originally, this person was not very trusted, but this guy was quite ruthless! Taking advantage of the fact that he was a local and familiar with the situation, he actually sorted out the whole story and reported it.
Liu Haojia was very surprised after receiving the report! He actually investigated the matter by himself, and he is also a very capable person! Even if there are a few mistakes in it, it shows his ability!
So Liu Haojia gave him a second task, which was to monitor the local militia to see if they had any changes and whether they were involved?
But He Lishui is not willing to do such a task! He felt that according to Liu Haojia's temperament, he would definitely fight back, so when deploying troops into the city, the city gate would be an unavoidable hurdle! So he simply spent all the money Liu Haojia gave him to bribe people from the militia! And he didn't have enough money, so he took out his savings and sold his house!
The people who were spying on him knew that he was a ruthless person when they saw his actions, and they were afraid that this time he would fall into the eyes of the Marquis! Report his actions immediately. Seeing that he was very capable, Liu Haojia directly allocated another two thousand taels of silver to him and asked him to be responsible for buying off the militia.
And he felt that officers above the civilian army were difficult to bribe, and buying and selling officers would not show his ability, so he simply changed his approach and started to bribe soldiers at the bottom!
You must know that there are also prestigious figures among the soldiers, and it is not entirely the officers who have the final say. So after he found the leader of these soldiers, he reached an agreement smoothly!
Anyway, for these militia soldiers, it’s just a matter of letting the city gate open. There are many reasons! As for any trouble that may arise later, that is a matter for the big shots! So when Liu Haojia led people to block the four city gates, it could be said to be a piece of cake!
Liu Haojia looked at He Lishui condescendingly and said, "I heard that you sold all your houses?"
He Lishui was naturally secretly happy when he heard that this matter had reached Liu Haojia's ears! However, he still said respectfully: "The villain couldn't get enough money for a while, so he couldn't go to the Liansheng Bank, so he had to sell the house! If the prince came back if he didn't have enough money, then the villain's house would not be in vain. Sell!"
Liu Haojia nodded and said, "It doesn't matter if you sell it, your house won't be very big anyway. I'll get you a bigger one later!"
When He Lishui heard this, he was no longer secretly happy, but ecstatic! He knew that this was truly accepted by Liu Haojia! Moreover, Liu Haojia mentioned a house casually, which means that it is not a reward at all, the real reward is yet to come!
Sure enough, Liu Haojia went on to say: "After today, you will report directly to Wang Hongrui. Be a deputy next to him first and participate in the interrogation of these mobs. As for the rest, we will talk about it later. Your reward is indispensable anyway!"
He Lishui was so happy that he knelt down and kowtowed to thank Liu Haojia! Because he knows that Wang Hongrui is a deputy from a thousand households, so to be his deputy must be at least a hundred households, right? Compared to his previous position as cell leader, this was a step up to the sky!
Then Liu Haojia shook the horse's reins and said, "I'll take the first step. You can do whatever you have to do!"
He Lishui immediately knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Congratulations to the Marquis! I wish the Marquis immediate success!"
Liu Haojia left the city gate and rode his horse to catch up with the soldiers in front, and went straight to Liansheng Bank. Because he guessed that there was the most likely problem at Lend Lease Bank! After all, money moved people's hearts, and he didn't believe those mobsters could bear it! As for his mansion, I'm not worried.
On the one hand, there are enough manpower and weapons in the mansion, so it is difficult to win the siege by the army. Moreover, Zhang Peijia and Tan Cuiying had already moved elsewhere and were not in danger. Might as well keep it and continue to attract these mobs!
The army was rampaging along the street. When they encountered a fork in the road, someone dressed as a beggar would jump out to guide them. Then the army divided into groups and crossed the streets and alleys, like a large net that was constantly opening!
One advantage of fighting in the city is that as long as a few intersections are blocked, the scope of movement of the mob will be restricted. Then proceed one street at a time, until there is a blockage at both ends, and people in the alley will have nowhere to run! Even those who rush to residents' homes can be caught by searching door to door!
Not long after Liu Haojia marched, he heard scattered firecrackers in front of him! He gently pulled the horse's reins to turn, then gently pinched the horse's belly, and the horse turned briskly. As soon as I ran across a street, there were soldiers running towards me in front of me. I saw that they were the soldiers who were delivering the message. Liu Haojia stopped his horse and asked, "What happened ahead?"
The soldier said loudly: "Come back to the commander, something happened at Lend Lease Bank! The bank was breached and the mob rushed in, only to find that there was nothing inside. They seemed to feel something was wrong and were running away!"
Liu Haojia sneered when he heard this, and then asked, "What was Liu Ren's arrangement ahead?"
The soldier replied: "Master Liu has divided his troops in advance and arranged a relatively large circle. He wants to trap them first and then clean them up street by street! Well, the new circle is at least two streets larger than originally planned!"
After hearing this, Liu Haojia compared the original plan in his mind and found that the troops everywhere seemed to be a little thin, but it should be acceptable. After all, they were just a group of mobs, and they would not get much advantage if they ran into the military formation head-on!
Then Liu Haojia said: "Go tell him, just say you did a good job! But you need to move a little faster!"
The soldiers took the order and left, and Liu Haojia continued to move forward surrounded by everyone. As soon as I turned around a corner, I heard a burst of intense firecrackers coming from the next corner. Liu Haojia pulled the horse's head and turned directly to the alley.
When he walked to the alley, he saw more than twenty soldiers lining up to drive away the mob! When he saw that there was no blood or corpse on the ground, he thought it must have been a firecracker fired into the sky.
Seeing this situation, Liu Haojia was relieved. After all, many people here were coerced or bribed. If they killed too many people, they would be easily criticized! But since he was fine, he relaxed and watched the soldiers take action.
