Stars are lights like beans in the night sky, illuminating the world with soft light.
Quanzhou Wei Qianhu Yu Siye personally led five hundred sergeants, and together with Lin Baifan, Qin Song and others went to the dense forest five miles east of the city.
Zhang Jiujing only knew the general direction and did not know the specific location of the villa.
Bu Xiu still didn't speak.
In this case, the sergeant needs to move forward while searching.
Yu Siye was afraid of wasting time and alerting the people in the villa, so he sent people to a nearby mountain to watch. Climbing high and looking into the distance, we found a manor in the dense forest, with bright lights inside.
After determining the specific location, he summoned sergeants in the four fields and ordered three hundred households, Zengxu, Cui Dawa, and Duhe, to take 100 sergeants each to block the east, south, and north directions of the villa.
"Gu Zhifu said that no one is allowed to be let go in this attack. Try to capture as many people as possible. If they encounter resistance, they can be killed on the spot as pirates. This thing is done beautifully, and it is indispensable for your benefit. Whoever delays it If you hold our back, when Magistrate Gu gets angry, Commander Huang and fellow magistrates will not be able to save you!"
Yu Siye said a few words briefly.
Zeng Xu, Ji Dawa, Du He and other sergeants agreed one after another, and then ordered the sergeants to set off.
Yu Siye turned to look at Qin Song: "Is this okay?"
Qin Song smiled and said: "It's just arranged by Yu Qianhu, can Xiaoxiao still let them escape?"
Yu Siye had to ask Qin Song. This man was a sergeant of the Jurong Guard. Although he did not know his official position, judging from his words and deeds, he was by no means a simple sergeant. He was probably a hundred households or even higher.
No one knows how Gu Zhengchen managed to get the Jurong Guard sergeants to Quanzhou Prefecture. It was obvious that they were all Gu Zhengchen's confidants.
Seeing that Qin Song had no objection, Yu Siye winked at Lin Baifan: "Let's go, let's go see what's in this villa."
Bu Xiu wanted to escape, but his hands were tied and he was guarded by a sergeant. His mouth was gagged. He was unable to escape or cry out. He was pushed by the sergeant and approached the villa step by step.
There wasn't much movement at the west gate of the villa, and it seemed quite cold.
Zhang Jiujing looked at it and said in a low voice: "The main entrance should be the east gate. The east gate faces the sea, making it easier to get goods in and out."
Yu Siye glanced at Zhang Jiujing, who didn't know much, pointed to the flat and wide road in front of the door, and said in a deep voice: "There is a wide road outside the west gate, connecting the paths in the forest, and this road is not paved to the north or south. It means that the goods shipped out from Jinjiang City will first be delivered to the west gate, and then moved to the villa. As for going out to sea, it is likely that the goods will be picked up again from the warehouse in the villa and sent out from the east gate.".??m
Zhang Jiujing was a little surprised. After looking at it, he found that this might indeed be the case.
The corners of Qin Song's mouth moved slightly.
Zhang Jiujing, a smart master, is nothing more than that, but he is from Siye. I heard that he has read a lot and is one of the few people in Quanzhou Wei who is both civilized and military.
Now that I see him, he does have some ability.
"Let's do it."
Yu Siye listened to the movement and calculated the time. Zeng Xu, Ji Dawa and others should have completed the outflanking, and then issued the order.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Baifan couldn't wait to rush out.
Qin Song watched Lin Baifan run to the wall and lost his speed. He raised his feet and stepped on the wall. Then he kicked two consecutive times, suddenly reached out and grabbed the top of the wall, and with ease, he was already riding on the wall. , hunched over and looked inside the wall, and when he saw no movement, he jumped down.
The door opened and Lin Baifan greeted everyone.
"It's good to be sensitive."
Qin Song couldn't help but admire.
Yu Siye chuckled: "He is a wild monkey from Quanzhou Guard. As you know, Fujian is very mountainous, and there is more climbing than walking. This small wall is nothing."
Qin Song took out his sword: "If you have ability, you have ability. This skill is enough to impress people. I think Quanzhou Guard is not a weakling."
Yu Siye took off a bow from behind, and then pinched an arrow: "I also want to know how strong the Jurong Guard is. Jurong is not a fortress. It has not been set up since the founding of the country. It was Gu Zhifu who established it in Jurong." It was set up by the officials. Those who are related to Magistrate Gu will definitely not disappoint. I would like to ask for advice someday."
Qin Song responded readily: "After this matter is over, we can discuss and learn from each other."
"Okay, it's settled!"
Yu Siye stepped forward.
In Jingming Villa, Bu Yuanhai, who is nearly fifty years old, is sitting in the main hall sorting out the account books.
Bu Huang ordered someone to bring over a box of things, then opened it and reported: "A long wooden box, eight hundred silver, for export."
Bu Yuanhai frowned, raised his head and asked, "Are there only thirty-six boxes of copper coins?"
Bu Huang responded quickly: "Sir, the thirty-six boxes are all large boxes, and together they contain eighteen thousand coins. The remaining items to be transported are silver. There are forty boxes. Do you want to go through them one by one?"
Bu Yuanhai put down his brush, stood up and said: "How many officials of the Bu family are servants in Fujian Province, why were they forced to retreat by a small prefect? Bu Huang, do you think Mr. Bu Shou has become weak this time? We have so much power in our hands, if we really can’t do it, if we let Zhou Yuan lead the rebellion and kill Gu Zhengchen, we won’t be able to leave our hometown in Quanzhou, right?”
Bu Huang looked at Bu Yuanhai who kept complaining, lowered his head and said: "Mr. Bu Shou, Bu Suanzi and others have sent messages before, urging us to complete the transfer as soon as possible and move all the property to the ship in Quanzhou Port, ready to sail at any time. Now it is three days later. More, it’s less than three hours until dawn, we need to transport our belongings as soon as possible.”
Bu Yuanhai said angrily: "Why, you, a little butler, dare to give me orders? Dog pirate, if you hadn't seen you as alert back then, you should have been captured and beheaded by the court! Don't think that you have been changed. With your surname, you are truly a member of the Bu family!"
Bu Huang quickly knelt down: "I don't dare."
Bu Yuanhai snorted and shouted very dissatisfied: "I still don't believe it. No matter how powerful Gu Zhengchen is, he is only a civil servant after all! We have the Quanzhou Guard as our backing, how can we be afraid of him? Everything is not allowed to be shipped out. I will Just go to Jinjiang City and ask Mr. Bu Shou where all the decisive killings in the past few years have gone, and why the older you get, the less courage you have!"
Bu Huang hesitated and finally did not speak.
Bu Xiu is not here, Bu Yuanhai has the final say here, and it is really difficult for him as a servant to refute.
suddenly.
A shrill scream tore apart the silent night, and panicked screams suddenly rang out.
Bu Yuanhai quickly walked to the door and shouted in a deep voice: "What happened?"
People outside hurriedly went to inquire, but as soon as they left the Moon Gate, they were kicked back.
Lin Baifan held a bloody steel knife and shouted sternly: "Quanzhou Guards were ordered to search the villa. Everyone got down on the spot. Anyone who dares to walk around and try to resist will be killed!"
Bu Yuanhai was shocked.
Quanzhou Wei?
Did you hear it right? Zhou Yuan, the commander of the Quanzhou Guard, is one of his own. The Quanzhou Guard can be said to be his own. How could he break into the villa?
But the sergeants in full armor had already barged in. Bu Yuanhai was stunned on the spot, not knowing what to do.
Yu Siye walked into the courtyard, looked at Bu Yuanhai, and looked behind him. The sergeant had arrived with Zhang Jiujing and Bu Xiu.
"who is he?"
In the four fields, I asked Zhang Jiujing and Dixiu.
The sergeant took out the cloth strip tied around Bu Xiu's mouth and the rag stuffed in his mouth.
Bu Yuanhai was shocked: "Bu Xiu, you actually brought them to Jingming Villa!"
Bu Xiu wished he could kick the idiot in front of him to death. Are you blind? Didn't you see that I was tied up and my mouth was released just now? !
Zhang Jiujing stared at him and said: "He is Bu Yuanhai, Bu Shou's cousin. He has organized several trips in and out of the government office. He is responsible for marine trade together with Bu Xiu."
Bu Yuanhai stared with round eyes and gritted his teeth: "Zhang Jiujing, aren't you dead?!"
Yu Shine frowned.
Let me go, this Bu Yuanhai must have a brain problem, right? Bu Xiu was arrested, so he couldn't see it, so why did he only recognize Zhang Jiujing as a living person now?
When Bu Xiu was sad and desperate, he sighed: "He is a confused person. Just Yu Qianhu, you must think clearly that the money and goods in Jingming Villa are the property of the Bu family, and their origins are fair and honest. You are so rash Breaking in, killing people, arresting people, and plundering things, the Bu family will never give up."
Yu Siye disagreed, took the account book handed over by Lin Baifan, looked at it, and said with a smile: "In the seventh year after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the people of Quanzhou Prefecture were still poor, but in the Villa of the Bu family, there were people who were so rich that it was just this The amount of money in the account is no less than 30,000 guan. What kind of business has the Bu family done in these years to have such wealth?"
Bu Xiu argued: "Are you also trying to seize the wealth accumulated by your ancestors at will?"
Yu Siye handed the account book to Qin Song and looked at Bu Xiu: "The order was given by Magistrate Gu. We are just following orders. If you have any grievances, you can go to Magistrate Gu and see if he believes you."
Bu Xiu felt a headache. It was strange to find Gu Zhengchen who could explain things well.
Zeng Xu from Baihu came in and said in a deep voice: "Beauty Thirty-Six was found in the west courtyard. According to her account, she is a girl from a good family that the Bu family bought from various places."
Cui Dawa followed up with the report: "The East Gate warehouse is filled with ceramics, silk, tea, and dozens of boxes of copper coins. In addition, a total of 170 servants have been detained for transportation."
Soon Du He arrived and reported: "More than a hundred weapons, armor, bows and arrows were found in the north warehouse, and a small number of firecrackers were also found."
Yu Siye stared at Bu Xiu: "So, this is property with an honest origin?"
Bu Xiu collapsed on the ground.
I can't explain it, and I can't find a reason for it.
Yu Siye ordered in a deep voice: "Detain everyone in the villa. In addition, count all the properties clearly and put them in boxes one by one. If anyone dares to reach out, my knife will kill someone!"
"Take orders!"
Zeng Xu, Ji Dawa, Du He and others led the sergeants away.
Qin Song walked into the room, glanced at Bu Huang lying on the ground, and asked, "If you were not the main culprit, you would still have a chance to survive."
Bu Huang immediately shouted: "I will confess, I will confess everything!"
Bu Yuanhai yelled: "Dog pirate, I really made a mistake when I took you in!"
