Chapter 135 Among the information that the commander received from Lianhong, the most directly useful information for Wang Ge was the information about the Taiyuan merchants who were controlled by her.Similar to An Zhengwei of Anlu Commercial Bank, a businessman who was secretly controlled and coerced by Meng Yuan by various means, there are a total of four people in Taiyuan Mansion, all of whom are contacted by Lianhong in a single line.For An Zhengwei and others, no matter what reason they had, they had to do this thing of collaborating with the enemy to destroy their families, from the bottom of their hearts, they were all reluctant.And now Wang Ge secretly met with them as a Jinyi guard, and casually pointed out some of the things that Lianhong had informed, and he could immediately scare these big men into a fart, and then promise to "make meritorious service for their crimes" and "repay their crimes with merit", and none of these businessmen would disobey.Even from their point of view, to be able to get such an opportunity and get rid of Meng Yuan's control, they should be grateful to Wang Ge.The Anlu Merchant House, as well as the other merchants, did not have a very large estate.Not to mention that compared with wealthy businessmen like Shen Hong, a wealthy man in Shanxi, even in Taiyuan Prefecture, it can only be regarded as a medium level.However, the industries involved in these businessmen are relatively miscellaneous, and there are many inns, teahouses, wine shops, pawnshops, etc., which are convenient for Wang Ge to use to install people and arrange eyeliner.In fact, Lian Hong had already used these businessmen to install many spies sent by Meng Yuan to the people, just like the coachman who originally followed Master An and later re-identified and went to Guo Xiuzhu's side.These Meng Yuan spies, Wang Ge naturally also got detailed identities and information, but he didn't plan to touch them for the time being, because his main target now was the "Bronze Man".According to Wang Ge's instructions, Lian Hong used the agreed code to contact the "bronze man", telling him that someone had seen the identity of the commander who had colluded with Meng Yuan, and that the situation was very dangerous, and she hoped to meet him in detail.There is no doubt that at this stage in Shanxi, the commander is their most important resource.So after Lianhong sent a secret contact three times in a row, the "bronze man" finally responded and agreed to meet her.The place where we met was not Lianhualou, but a noodle restaurant in the middle of nowhere.Wang Ge was worried that the "bronze man" would not go to the appointment for the sake of prudence, so he did not take it down when the other party and Lianhong were connected, but asked Lianhong to secretly put the "Tracer Gu" on him.After they finished connecting, Wang Ge took Sun Hong to find the whereabouts of the person who connected with Lianhong by relying on the direction of the tracking Gu.Sure enough, the person who connected with Lianhong was not the real "Bronze Man", but just a subordinate sent by the "Bronze Man" to inquire about the news of Lianhong."
Bronze Man" and his subordinates have a little martial arts, but they are only at the level of third-rate masters, Wang Ge and Sun Hong attacked violently, and easily captured the two.Because he had experience in dealing with the coachman and Lianhong first, after capturing the two, Wang Ge unloaded their chins as soon as possible, and only after taking out all the poison hidden in their teeth did he reconnect their chins.The two were taken to a secluded courtyard arranged by Wang Ge and Liang Zhong in the city, and Wang Ge didn't talk any more nonsense with them, and directly served them with "truth elixir".It's also a shame that before leaving Qingzhou this time, I asked for some more inventory from Nanxiang, otherwise the amount is so large now, it will really be a little stretched.The "bronze man" is a monk in his thirties, who looks white and clean, with a gray monk's robe, but really looks like a monk.Who would have thought that this guy was actually Meng Yuan's secret agent.Because of the secrecy of the matter, Wang Ge did not let Sun Hong listen, and asked him to take the "bronze man" to the wing room in the front yard to detain him before starting the interrogation.Under the effect of a large dose of "Truth Telling", the "Bronze Man" naturally had no room for resistance, and soon followed Wang Ge's question and learned one by one.The commander of Zheng Sanpin, who colluded with Meng Yuan and ordered the Qi family to rob and kill Guo Xiuzhu, turned out to be Liu Jie, the commander of Zhenxiwei!
From beginning to end, this commander was contacted by the "bronze man", and at the beginning, he used Meng Yuan's intelligence network to sort out the guards in Taiyuan Mansion by Zhu Yuanzhang Hui on the basis of this reprimand of King Jin, and the new commander of Shanxi was the executor.And the object that was combed, in addition to a thousand outdoors of Taiyuan Right Guard, the most important thing was Liu Jie, the commander of Zhenxi Guard.He used the officers and soldiers of the guard under his command to do illegal things for the king of Jin and the princes and princes of Jin, and he also used convenience to make profits for himself, and he couldn't stand up to investigation at all.Zhu Yuanzhang may be merciful to his sons, but he has never been soft on his courtiers, thinking of Zhu Yuanzhang's methods against corrupt officials, Liu Jie said that it is impossible not to be afraid.In this case, it is impossible for King Jin to protect him, and he may even take the initiative to sell him.So, when Commander Liu was flustered, the "Bronze Man" gave him an idea.This idea is also simple, it is four words - "force the king of Jin".If he is just the commander of Zhenxi Guard, even if he rebels, I am afraid that there will be no more than 1,000 people who can follow him to rise up, and the impact that can be caused is very limited, basically just sending him to death and giving credit to the officers and soldiers of other guards.But if it's King Jin, it's different.Although there are only a few thousand palace guards directly commanded by the King of Jin, he is one of the nine kings of the Ming Dynasty, and he has followed his father Zhu Yuanzhang to fight in the south and north since he was a child, and his military influence is second only to Zhu Di, the king of Yan.In the previous seven northern expeditions to Meng Yuan, the king of Jin was also responsible for all the men, and he was naturally very influential in the army.Once the King of Jin rises up, not to mention that all the soldiers and horses in the entire Taiyuan Mansion are subordinate, at least some of them will either want to gain a rich and famous, or they will have to be coerced to participate in it.In addition, a commander like Liu Jie followed the "flag waving and shouting", and the troops obeyed each other, and the momentum was very easy to rise.At that time, Meng Yuan will work with the King of Jin to attack Datong Mansion in the north and south.At that time, with the support of Meng Yuan, the king of Jin can divide Shanxi as the king.But the problem is that the King of Jin, who has not been cornered, will never rebel, and with Zhu Yuanzhang still in power, he knows very well that the possibility of a successful rebellion is very small.And what Liu Jie has to do is to force the King of Jin into a situation where he has to rebel.The Qi family went to rob and kill Guo Xiuzhu, who went to Shouyang, which was an introduction.They know that this Guo Xiuzhu Guo is a person from the East Palace, and he has a close relationship with Huang Zicheng, and when he came to Taiyuan, he had Huang Zicheng's hand and tail.If Guo Xiuzhu dies on the way to his post, there is no doubt that the court will be investigated, and the East Palace itself will not deal with the King of Jin, and then it will inevitably add fuel and vinegar to put pressure on the King of Jin.At the same time, Liu Jie will also use the excuse of discovering the traces of the robbers who robbed and killed Guo Xiuzhu, and set out with his cronies.Their goal is to be the new commander of Shanxi, Song Junmao!
