Chapter 107 Make a big deal
At this time, the two householders brought by Gu Youcai have also been taken down by their own soldiers, overturned to the ground, took their swords, and pressed them to the ground. Someone stepped on their necks, making them unable to say half a word, and even begging for mercy could not be heard.
At this time, Jiaozhou Zhizhou and other officials also stepped forward, gathered around, and began to listen to Gu Zhong's confession lying on the ground. After listening to it, each of these people showed fear.
It turns out that Gu Youcai is really not a thing. This guy not only controls the sale of private salt in a large area, but also privately raises many family slaves. There is a team dedicated to him, with more than 200 people. He usually hides in the surrounding area, and his identity is some ring horse robbers.
Moreover, Gu Youcai also worked part-time in human trafficking. Over the years, there have often been young women or girls missing in the area of Jiaozhou City. In fact, they were secretly kidnapped by these people and then sold to the Nanzhili area, making a lot of money, and he himself also ruined the innocence of many innocent women.
This guy's family property is too big and too much wealth. Seeing that the rebels are coming to attack Jiaozhou, he is afraid that the rebels will be willing to his family's wealth. In a hurry, he actually thought of simply surrendering to the rebels and send people to contact the rebels. Once the rebels come to attack Jiaozhou City, then he is willing to act as an insider in the city in private. But don't disclose his identity, just keep his family's wealth. The rebels can take the wealth in the city, and everything has nothing to do with him.
However, he was very unfortunate. On the way back, the people sent were inadvertently found by the Yu family soldiers who were active in this area, so they secretly arrested Guzhong and sent him back to the Fushan Institute.
On the way, I happened to meet Yu Xiaotian leading the troops and tortured and interrogated Gu Zhong along the way. Gu Zhong couldn't survive and die. He really couldn't stand it. He had to confess Gu Youcai, which made Yu Xiaotian catch the handle. After arriving here, he made such a scene.
After listening to this, the officials of Zhizhou and Jiaozhou broke out in a cold sweat and almost jumped over and kicked Gu Youcai to death on the spot. Gu Youcai is such a fucking bastard. In order to save his family's wealth, he actually sold the whole Jiaozhou City. Fortunately, he was hit by Yu Xiaotian's men and broke his conspiracy. Otherwise, if the rebels come to attack Jiaozhou City one day, and Gu Youcai asked his men to dress up and act as insiders in the city, then how can Jiaozhou City not be broken?
Thinking of this, these officials and the gentry all hate this Gu Youcai very much. They all feel cold and sweating behind them. Thinking about it, they feel very afraid. If it weren't for Yu Xiaotian, they would really be unlucky collectively in the future. Once Jiaozhou City is broken, they will become the hands of the rebels. Fat sheep, I don't know how to die.
It was simply right for Yu Xiaotian to take down Gu Youcai today, and after this matter, Lord Zhizhou was furious and ordered to torture the other two Gu Youcai's family members. The two families saw that the matter was exposed, so they did not carry it to the end. They nodded and confessed one after another and admitted the matter.
So Gu Youcai's charge was confirmed. Zhizhou was trembling all over. He pointed to Gu Youcai and almost forgot the sven and cursed.
Yu Xiaotian said to Zhizhou with a smile, "Your Excellency, this time I inadvertently saved the whole Jiaozhou City, so there is a merciless request. Can you give this Gujiazhuang to me as a military station? You should know that there are still many Gu Jiading and Yanding in this Gujiazhuang, which may not be captured! It's better to hand it over to deal with it!"
At this time, the Zhizhou of Jiaozhou only secretly congratulated himself. Without thinking much about it, he nodded and agreed, but proposed that this Gu Youcai should be interrogated in person and convicted of him. It is necessary to cut this man with thousands of knives!
Yu Xiaotian immediately agreed and handed over Gu Youcai to the Jiaozhou government, and he waved his hand and ordered to send cavalry to Gujiazhuang immediately to start action.
In fact, when he came here this time, he had already made up his mind to take Gujiazhuang. At this time, some cavalry had already passed ahead and surrounded Gujiazhuang. Next, he waited for Yu Xiaotian's order and sent more personnel to take Gujiazhuang.
With Jiaozhou Zhizhou's personal consent, it can be said to be reasonable and legal for Yu Xiaotian to take Gujiazhuang. In the afternoon of the same day, the Gu family in Gujiazhuang were confusedly forced to open the door and tied up by Yu Jiajun and sent them to Jiaozhou City, but they secretly kept some of the years. The lighter woman was detained and sent to the Fushan camp. Next, she was transferred back to Taiwan Island, woman! Now they are so lacking! It's a pity to hand it over to the government and turn back to be an official prostitute! Ha ha! They'd better keep it for themselves!
At this time, Jiaozhou Zhizhou remembered that there must be a large amount of money and grain hidden in Gujiazhuang. He didn't investigate it for a while and forgot this. This time, Gujiazhuang was taken down by Yu Xiaotian, which is equivalent to getting rid of Yu Xiaotian. I don't know how much money Yu Xiaotian will earn this time. In short, they don't seem to have this business. Take advantage of it, but it is estimated that it will be difficult to let Yu Xiaotian spit out these goods again.
Although this Jiaozhou Zhizhou is a little unwilling, he does not dare to annoy Yu Xiaotian at this time. After all, Yu Xiaotian is equivalent to saving a person in Jiaozhou City, and taking a little discount is also a reward for him. Thinking of this, he did not mention this matter again. In two days, he concluded the case and directly set Gu Youcai up. When he went out, he was sentenced to death, that is, the punishment of Ling Chi, and he was cut off on the street.
When the soldiers and civilians in Jiaozhou heard about this, they were also angry and went crazy. They learned that they were going to get rid of Gu Youcai, so they ran to buy a piece of Gu Youcai's meat and immediately swallowed it.
Gu Youcai is in the footsteps of Yuan Chonghuan, but Yuan Chonghuan's death is still a little loss, but this guy can be said to have died with great honor. It is a big fat man. In the end, he was cut into finger-sized meat by the executioner and sold to those excited people in the city to eat it. The executioner also made a small fortune.
As for some people involved in this matter, they were also sentenced to beheaded and immediately beheaded and abandoned the city. Some people who did not die were assigned or imprisoned. In short, the Gu family of Gujiazhuang was completely broken.
And the gentry and squires outside the city looked at the end of the Gu family. Although they also felt relieved, some of them felt shudder at the same time. After all, although they did not collude with the rebels, they also contacted the rebels in private, especially several large families in the north of the city, and they felt that the general surnamed Yu from Fujian was not Easy to provoke.
The next step is to go to Pingdu to suppress the rebellion. In case they catch any handle, will they be the next exterminated?
At the thought of this matter, these big families couldn't sit still, and they also found that this surnamed Yu was not a reckless man. Unexpectedly, the scouts had been sent out before they moved. God knows if he is also staring at these people. If he is targeted by him, they will pour blood. It's moldy.
Yu Xiaotian also saw the psychology of these people and asked his men to get a list of large local households. They went door-to-door to ask for their pay. For those big gentry who have no ghosts in their hearts, they can naturally ignore it, which means a little bit, but for those who have ghosts in their hearts, this door-to-door demand for pay. For them, the people of Yu Jiajun are like life-threatening ghosts.
These people with ghosts in their hearts naturally dare not neglect. They are afraid that the other party will also catch their handle and dare not bear them, so they have to pinch their noses and take out a lot of money and food. Like grandchildren, they pull them up with a cart and send them to Gujiazhuang, which is now conscripted by Yu Xiaotian.
Knocking down Gujiazhuang this time, for Xiaotian, the harvest is so great that Yu Xiaotian and his men are a little surprised. They found all kinds of hidden silver money in Gujiazhuang and converted into cash silver, which is more than 60,000 taels. It can be seen that the Gu family has accumulated in the past hundred years, and how much wealth has been accumulated in addition, it is still in the Gujia. Thousands of stones of sea salt were found in the village.
Even if these private salt are sold at wholesale prices, they will be worth at least thousands of taels of silver. As for other silk, gold and silver jewelry, not to mention, in summary, the real estate of Gujiazhuang is worth at least nearly 100,000 taels. These silver is enough to pay him for several months. Silver.
So doing this kind of thing is Yu Xiaotian's favorite thing. Such a guy has no psychological burden at all and can make money. Why not?
In fact, the biggest gain of the Gu family this time is not these goods, but this time they have taken away a huge private salt smuggling network around Jiaodong.
And the sale of private salt is a business with huge profits. Which of the salt hawks in Nanzhili is not extremely rich? However, if Yu Xiaotian rashly wants to insert a bar here and also do private salt business, it will definitely attract the counterattack of the local Gu family, including those who are not familiar with the land, and it will be quite difficult to open up the market.
But I didn't expect that as soon as he arrived here this time, the Gu family himself sent it to the door and handed over a huge handle to him. I don't know whether he was too lucky or the Gu family was so unlucky that he had never dreamed of hitting him on his head.
While killing the Gu family, Yu Xiaotian did not kill all the Gu family, but selected several key people to understand the whole channel of private salt trafficking. As long as they master these people, it is equivalent to mastering the private salt sales network in the whole area, which can be almost effortless. With this power, you can take over this network and soon continue to use this network to make a fortune. At the same time, you can also use this network to build an intelligence network here.
