Chapter 12 Master Dog Head
After sending Li Yi away, Yu Xiaotian asked someone to bring Zhang Hu's dog-headed military division, that is, Master Xing, to his residence.
Although Master Xing was very arrogant on Nanri Island when Zhang Hu was there, but at this time, he was already scared and his words were a little upside down. As soon as he was brought to Yu Xiaotian, he knelt on the ground with tears and kowtowed repeatedly.
It doesn't mean that Xiaotian speaks. He knelt down and climbed to Yu Xiaotian's feet, hugged Yu Xiaotian's foot and cried, and begged Yu Xiaotian to spare his life.
Yu Xiaotian despises such a greedy person who is afraid of death. When the villain gains power, this kind of person is as arrogant as 25 to 80,000, but once he loses power, even if he lets him eat shit, he can do it.
If this bastard hadn't mastered a lot of secrets about Zhang Hu, Yu Xiaotian would not have kept him alive. He would have chopped him and thrown into the sea and fed him bastards.
But now Yu Xiaotian knows that he can't kill this man for the time being, so he can only resist the nausea, pick it with his toes, kick this Master Xing aside, and hummed coldly, "Don't cry so much. Calling you here today is not to kill you, but you'd better figure it out. If you want to live, it's not impossible. Yes, but it depends on your performance! I have something to ask you. If you answer truthfully, what if you leave your life?
Master Xing heard that there was still a way to live, so he quickly put away his crying, wiped his eyes with his sleeves, knelt on the ground and replied respectfully, "Yes, yes! If the big head has something to say, just ask. The little one must know everything and say everything! As long as you know, you will never hide half of it from the big head!"
Yu Xiaotian nodded and said, "You know the depth is the best. If you want to live, give me a reason to live. You should know your previous reputation on Nanri Island. There are many people who want you to die. Whether you can give me a reason to live depends on your performance."
Master Xing suddenly sweated coldly as soon as he heard this. In fact, he knew better than anyone else. In the past, he offended Wang Hong, Fang An and others and their men here. Now that these people have gained power, they must think that there will be many people who will die, so if he doesn't show some ability, then this life is really not be able to It can be kept.
So he quickly kowtowed and agreed, and even promised to satisfy Yu Xiaotian.
"Okay! I will trust you for the time being! Now tell me who Zhang Hu has been in contact with the government in Fujian and Fuzhou before, how to make the government not care about you, who you give to, how much effect every year, and how to contact them! Think about these things clearly and tell me that if everything is true after verification, then your life will be saved!" Yu Xiaotian took a sip of the tea bowl and asked Master Xing who was kneeling on the ground.
After listening to this, Master Xing thought for a moment and quickly said, "This little knows! Zhang Hu's previous affairs were all done for him, and the small one also specially recorded an account book, and he usually kept it carefully! As long as you find that account book, it will be clear at a glance!
Yu's headman asked, in fact, the reason why Zhang Hu has been here for so many years is not that the government has been afraid of him, but that the official has benefited, so he turned a blind eye to him. From the governor's office to Fuzhou Prefecture, and the county government office below, Zhang Hu will send someone to send some investment every year.
And Zhang Hu generally does not disturb the villages and towns on the shore nearby, so after these officials get benefits, they will naturally not try to suppress sharks!"
As soon as Yu Xiaotian heard this, he immediately asked, "Where is the account book now?" Get it for me as soon as possible!"
Master Xing nodded quickly and agreed. Yu Xiaotian waved his hand and asked Zhao Si to take him down. More than an hour later, Master Xing was brought back by Zhao Si with a sad face. Zhao Si handed over a broken account book to Yu Xiaotian.
Yu Xiaotian simply looked through it and immediately asked, "Why is there only half a book?"
Master Xing replied with a sad face, "Please forgive me. The little one usually hides this account book under the bed, but there is a little chaos in the village these days. I don't know who found this account book. The little one found it in the corner of the yard for a long time. Half of them have been torn away and used for honor!"
Several black lines were immediately pulled out on Yu Xiaotian's forehead. When he seized the Dazhai on Nanri Island, although he was also ordered that his men to copy the residences of these key figures, they should pay special attention to books and some account books and other things. Once found, they should be properly kept and handed over to him for investigation.
But these guys obviously didn't pay attention to this matter. After someone found the account book, they still took the account book and wiped it. As a result, there was only half of the damaged account book left.
After Yu Xiaotian looked through it, he couldn't see a clue. He only saw some messy things marked above, so he asked, "What do these annotations mean? Why isn't it a person's name?"
Master Xing quickly lay on the ground and replied, "In the past, when I was a small bookkeeping, I was worried that someone would expose the news and cause trouble after getting this account book, so when accounting, I didn't mark my name directly, but replaced it with something. Even if ordinary people see it, If you don't understand what this is, you won't know what is recorded in it! So it's not surprising that the big head can't understand it! However, most of the small hearts still remember that they can come to the big head one by one!"
When Yu Xiaotian heard that this guy still knew this kind of confidentiality measures, it was a little interesting, which showed that this guy was still a little smart, but did not leave his name, and only replaced it with some code names. In this way, it is a good way to ensure that it is well-documented and not known to outsiders.
"Okay! I will give you a room. If you go down first, I will ask someone to send you pen, ink, paper and inkstone. You carefully recall it for me, remake a list of people who need to be scored on the official surface, and the amount of effect to be given to them every year. There must be no omission, nor should it be exaggerated or reduced! It must be detailed. Once I find out that there are false or omissions, I will not let you go!" Yu Xiaotian shouted to Master Xing in a low voice.
Master Xing was so scared that he shivered and kowtowed again, saying that he must recall it well to ensure that there were no omissions and mistakes.
After Master Xing was taken down, it took a whole day to read the previous broken account book, sort out the memories in his mind, and re-listed a list and an account book for Yu Xiaotian. He sorted out the memory as much as possible, reorganized it into an account book, and then asked Zhao Si. It was submitted to Yu Xiaotian.
Yu Xiaotian immediately reviewed it carefully. This look was really shocked. Over the years, Zhang Hu has really had a lot of people, but there were no serious court officials on it. They were basically some staff members in various government, and the silver two were rooted. According to their status, there is also a considerable difference in the amount.
The highest is the two people in the governor's office and the Fuzhou government office. The one in the governor's government office is Li Qibai, and the one in the Fuzhou government office is Meng Tiancheng. These two people are the staff in charge of the governor's office and the government office, which can be regarded as the confidants of officials.
Therefore, Zhang Hu's investment effect on these two people every year is more than 2,000 taels of silver, and the rest of the people range from hundreds to dozens of taels. In total, Yu Xiaotian calculated that nearly 8,000 taels of silver is needed for bribery to these people.
This is a huge expenditure, even exceeding the consumption of the whole Zhang Hu to maintain the shark gang. After looking at this number, Yu Xiaotian couldn't help but feel a little big.
No wonder Zhang Hu is restrained in this area. It turns out that this guy's burden is really not light! It's a considerable expense to support these guys. You really can't afford to take care of such a large amount of expenses without making money.
After reading this list, Yu Xiaotian asked Zhao Si to bring Master Xing again and carefully asked them how to contact these people before.
Master Xing quickly explained, "In fact, there is no need to worry about it. In the past, before June and the end of the year, I would take the silver ticket of Baotong Qianzhuang to the land. After sending people to vote for a greeting, just invite these people and give them the silver ticket! After receiving the silver ticket, these people can go to Baotong Qianzhuang to exchange it for cash or copper money at any time.
And these people are also very interesting. After taking the money, they never say much, but usually they don't have too much intersection. Sharks go ashore to do things, and they all turn a blind eye and have to pass!"
After listening, Yu Xiaotian nodded and said, "Very good! Master Xing, you are still honest these two days. Let's put your head on your neck for the time being. As for your wife and children, I will send someone to release them later. I will return your former courtyard to you!"
Master Xing kowtowed and thanked as soon as he heard it. He couldn't hide the excited expression on his face. He couldn't wait to jump up and hug Yu Xiaotian's feet and kissed him hard. He was so excited that even cried again.
Yu Xiaotian asked him to calm down and then said, "I will keep your life for you first. In the future, it depends on whether you can do things well or not, and then make a conclusion. If you obey and do things for me well, I will not treat you badly in the future, but if you are not honest and slippery, hum! ......”
"I dare not! The little one dares not! Small ones absolutely dare not! Please rest assured that the little one will do things for the big one wholeheartedly. If the big one has anything to do, just tell him. The little one will never dare not work hard. Master Xing shook his head like a rattle and repeatedly promised.
"That's good. In a few days, I'll send someone to accompany you to the land. It's still this list. You can meet them and tell them that although the shark gang is gone and Zhang Hu is also dead, I will not miss them in a certain penny. I need them to turn a blind eye to us in the future. One eye, as long as they don't make trouble for me, they can be more effective in the future!
As for how to tell them, I don't care too much about it. In short, there is only one thing for me to stabilize them. Don't let them think that I have broken their financial path. Zhang Hu can afford to support them, and I, Yu Xiaotian can also afford to support them, and I won't let them suffer at all!" Yu Xiaotian shook the list to Master Xing.
After listening to this, Master Xing quickly nodded again and said yes, and then was taken down.
