Chapter 23 The Crisis of the Salt Gang
Gao Yu's words, Sha Shiyan took a breath. He calmed down and said, "The day after tomorrow is the day to sacrifice to the salt god. Before the sacrifice, that is, tomorrow, more than 20 people in total of the presidents of the local branches and the elders of the salt gang will come here to the meeting to select the deputy master."
Zoning said, "Your son is right. Our second task is to do it at your meeting."
Sha Shiyan stopped and shuddered. Seeing that the court was determined to wash the salt gang this time,
Gao Yu thought for a moment and suddenly looked at Sha Shiyan: "Brother Sha, I'll ask you again. You really don't want the salt gang to obey the court."
Sha Shiyan said firmly, "Of course I don't. It is my father's last wish to be a big salt gang, and it is also the heart of my brothers. Although I don't know what will happen in the future, it is impossible to send the salt gang out from me."
Gao Yu said coldly, "Then, you let these people start the days of falling into the grass again."
He said this. Sha Shiyan asked. Sha Shiyan stayed there and suddenly felt that he had no choice. Maybe Sha Shiyan had been very confident for a long time. The salt gang developed and grew. Both officials and black were like fish in water. Suddenly, the salt gang had no prospects. Everyone wanted to live a life of escape again like a mountain thief. This He couldn't accept it all of a sudden. He tried to calm his emotions. Seeing that Gao Yu was drinking tea slowly, Sha Shiyan suddenly stood up and saluted Gao Yu: "Sha is incompetent. I hope Mr. Gao can teach me. If Mr. Gao can help the salt help the salt help through this disaster safely, I would like to give up the position of the salt help."
This position is really attractive to the current high rain, but even if Sha Shiyan wants to do it, I'm afraid he can't mobilize the people of the salt gang.
"Helping the salt gang is also to help ourselves."
Zoning stood up and said, "Mr. Gao is right. Helping the salt gang is helping ourselves. You can order it."
Gao Yu secretly calculated that Zuoning's light kung fu was good; Zhang Chang was a resounding general, with rich experience in the battlefield, and his skills were also great; he became famous and powerful; Hu Tieling had a magical soft rope known as a ghost rope; and the newly added Zhang Bao, although he did not know how good his skills were, he also gave Tie Jingang's reputation. ; In addition to himself, he touched the Songwen sword on his waist. The shape of the sword passed by the master was not a waste of learning and ten years of practice. There should be no questions to deal with one or two masters, and he could communicate with Ma Sheng, and he also had some martial arts on his body.
He suddenly thought of an important question: "Zoning, you have received a double order. On the surface, it is me who secretly want to clear the salt gang. Who will give the order to clear the salt gang?"
Several people looked at each other, and Zoning said, "We haven't told you about this, because we don't know either."
"I don't know." Sha Shiyan was a little surprised,
"Yes." Several people of Liang's army said in one voice,
Hu Tieling explained, "Our other order was conveyed by another person. Now we only know that when the salt gang has a meeting, we will receive a signal, and then make it clear."
Before the words fell, there was a sound of fireworks and firecrackers outside the courtyard, which was very much like the sound of a signal bomb: "I'm coming." Zoning rushed out of the door first,
In the southwest of Yanzhou City, there was a bright light. Zoning said, "Son, we have to go there to receive orders."
Gao Yu ordered, "Go back quickly and pay attention to safety." After he finished speaking, the four people went to the southwest of the city,
After sitting back, several people were not in the mood to eat. Only Shi Qian was still eating. Gao Yu said, "Xiao Qian, you send Mr. Chen and his son to He Lanyuan early tomorrow morning to find Prince Liang for a while."
"Why do you fight and let me give it away? Besides, what about the two of them?" Shi Qian looked at Zhang Chang and Zhang Bao and said unhappily,
Gao Yu's face sank, and Shi Qian lowered his head reluctantly. Chen Kang took Chen Yong to pack up his things, and Shi Qian also went to rest. Only Gao Yu, Sha Shiyan, Zhang Chang and Zhang Bao were left in the room,
After about a s of incense, he suddenly heard the sound of the door of the courtyard. Zuoning had turned over and opened the door of the courtyard. He walked around the last Mingchengsi and looked around and no one followed him. Only then did he close the door of the courtyard, and several people entered the room,
"Sir, your inference is correct. We have all found the instructions. The salt gang ambushed at the meeting, and no one alive will be released."
"No one has seen other Liang's army." Gao Yu asked,
"Yes, there is another officer, but he covers his face and will listen to his orders at that time."
Ma Sheng took two sips of wine and said, "Sir, the officer has suspected that you don't help the Empress Dowager. He asked why there were only four people in our company. Fortunately, we had discussed it before and unanimously said that the two let you go. We didn't know what to do. We didn't know what we asked. Come back smoothly."
"Cei Si, tomorrow you will be responsible for protecting Mr. Sha; Zoning, pay attention to the suspicious person. Once you find it, report it to me in time. Others will obey the order. Be on guard tonight. If I have something to do, I will listen to Zhang Chang's orders."
"Listen to me." Zhang Chang was a little surprised. After all, he just saw Gao Yu today,
Gao Yu nodded and thought that the secret envoy of Xixia was also the general of Xixia. The commander of the three armies did not ask questions, not to mention that there were less than ten people,
At dawn, Chen Kang and others set off. The others were more vigilant. Chen Kang came back soon after he left. Gao Yu saw that he looked flustered and asked what had happened. Chen Kang said, "Sir, I don't know what's wrong with Yanzhou City today. I just need to go in and out. Even if I leave the city, I will carefully check it. I'm worried about my body. With so many bonds, it will be suspicious, so I will quickly ask Shi Qian to send Chen Yong away, and I will inform you when I come back.
This is troublesome. It's really for the salt gang today. Even if they are lucky enough to escape today, they can't get out of the city.
Gao Yu looked at Chen Kang and suddenly turned his head and asked Sha Shiyan, "Is there a place to sell fireworks in Yanzhou City?"
This must be available. When Sha Shiyan heard that Gao Yu was going to buy fireworks, he immediately asked his personal servant to take Chen Kang to buy them. Gao Yu told Chen Kang, "You know how much you want, Mr. Chen."
Looking at the shining light in Gao Yu's eyes, Chen Kang was in a trance again in an instant. This is not who the king can be. Besides, he has been walking around for many years. He has never been exposed to his skill of making explosives. Time is tight and he can't allow him to think too much. He hurried out to go shopping. In an hour's work, almost all the places selling fireworks in Yanzhou. Fang was purchased by him for more than half,
"Brother Sha, no matter how many people come from the salt gang today, don't put any of them in the backyard. In addition, your salt gang will be open. You just need to listen to me..." Gao Yu ordered in Sha Shiyan's ear,
In the afternoon, the people of the salt gang came one after another. There were 20 or 30 presidents and elders of the salt gang in various places. They gathered in the yard. The tables, chairs and dishes sent by the restaurant arranged in advance by the public contractor had also been placed. Everyone sat down, as if it were an open-air banquet,
The door of the hall was closed. Sha Shiyan and Gao Yu were in the room. Gao Yu dragged his chin and carefully followed his plan to see if there were any mistakes. Sha Shiyan paced in the anxious room. Ma Sheng pushed the door and walked in: "Sir, Mr. Chen is ready."
"Akay, now it's time for you to act. Before dark, you must arrange as many horses as possible in the city."
"No questions, look at me." After he said, he turned around and left the room,
Sha Shiyan stopped and said, "Brother Gao Xian, what strange people are around you? You can arrange as many horses as possible."
Gao Yu said, "Look at it."
The door was pushed open again, and Wu Tong walked in: "Mr. Sha, it's getting late, and everyone has arrived."
"Good." Sha Shiyan said and walked to the door. Gao Yu stood behind him. Wei Mingchengsi stood in the porch next to the door and looked around. Chen Kang walked out of the inner courtyard and walked out with a package as if nothing had happened. Behind him, Hu Tieling and Zhang Bao,
"Brother Xian, what on earth are you tossing about?"
"You will know in a minute!"
When the people in the yard saw Sha Shiyan coming out, they all applauded. Sha Shiyan signaled everyone to be quiet. "Guys, tomorrow is a big day to worship the salt god. It's rare for everyone to gather together today. I have something important to tell you."
The door of the courtyard sounded, and the housekeeper opened the door. A team of officers and soldiers came in and applauded for the leader and said, "Is it a big day? Why didn't Mr. Sha inform me?"
At this time, Zhang Chang was coming out of the inner court. As soon as he looked up and saw someone coming, he flashed back to the inner court. The enemy should be very jealous when he met, but if he rushed over, it would definitely be a big deal.
Sha Shiyan smiled when he saw the person coming and said, "Yan helps the brothers get together. How dare you bother to reward the general?"
Shang Ba laughed and said, "Haha, of course, I have an inexplicable relationship with the salt gang. I heard that the deputy master will be elected today. Of course, I want to congratulate you. Why don't you start yet?"
"Son, it's him." Wei Mingcheng said in a low voice in Gao Yu's ear,
Gao Yu nodded and wanted to guess that the leader would appear today. He said to Sha Shiyan, "Mr. Sha, who is this reward general? Please introduce it to everyone first."
Shangba took a look at Gao Yu and thought that this person was standing beside Sha Shiyan. Is it the newly elected deputy leader? He smiled and nodded to Gao Yu,
Sha Shiyan said, "This is the general of Shangba, the tough salt and iron envoy of today's privy deputy envoy."
It's okay if he doesn't say it. In this way, many people in the salt gang don't respect and wait for the bus angrily. The atmosphere suddenly became a little deadlocked.
Sha Shiyan naturally understands the reason, but he naturally also has his difficulties. Now Shangba has the right in his hand. It is absolutely impossible not to move this relationship. Seeing that the older elders of the salt gang are very hateful to Shangba, Shangba sneered: "Mr. Sha, what does this mean? Doesn't your salt gang welcome me, I But I came here with a generous gift.
