Li Kaiyang choked his tone.

He knew that what Zhang Huai was saying was the truth, but he was burned in the village of Tianchengwei, had food, more than a dozen war horses robbed, and more than a dozen guards from the family background were killed, and he was holding his breath in his heart.

Li Huaixin was a general of the Eastern Road, and was under the jurisdiction of the General of the Eastern Road of Guiliang Mountain. This anger naturally came from Li Huaixin's head.

Li Huaixin is Zhang Huai's man. The tiger flag has always been smuggling the northern barbarians through Xinpingbao. He, as the deputy general, has no benefit at all. He has long held a grudge in his heart. If he could replace the Xinpingbao guards and his people to go to Xinpingbao, the tiger flag's convoy would want to leave Xinpingbao again and he would have to decide.

Zhang Huai said: "The bandits in Daliang Mountain will be urged to solve the problem of the East Road General. Now that the barrier is coming this year, even if you want to suppress the bandits, you have to wait until the New Year."

"Sir." Li Kaiyang said, "Daliangshan has always been a nest of bandits, and the government forces have repeatedly encircled and suppressed the bandits but failed. If General Li Gan went to Daliangshan to suppress the bandits, the Xinpingbao Guardian would be empty. It would be better to let the Eastern guerrillas temporarily take over the position of Xinpingbao Guardian, and General Li Gan concentrates on suppressing the bandits."

Hearing this, Zhang Huai frowned.

Only then did he realize that Li Kaiyang's yelling to cure Li Huaixin's crime was just an excuse, and the purpose was to transfer Li Huaixin to Daliangshan to suppress the bandits so that his people could take over the position of the Xinpingbao guard.

In the past, he didn't care about Xinpingbao, but now it's different. Xinpingbao is an important exit for the smuggling route of the tiger flag.

If the Xinpingbao guards become Li Kaiyang's people, it will inevitably affect the smuggling business of the Tiger Flag. At that time, the loss will not only be the Tiger Flag, but also the general who distributes dividends from the smuggling business.

"Sir." Aide Wang Qingyuan walked in from outside and saw Li Kaiyang in the room, and said again, "I have met Lord Li."

Li Kaiyang nodded slightly, as a response.

Zhang Huai said: "I and Lord Li are talking about the bandits in Daliang Mountains. It's just right that you are here, let's listen together."

"Yes." Wang Qingyuan bowed and then said, "Students need to report to the adults if they have something to do."

"What's up?"

Wang Qingyuan said respectfully: "The people from the Governor's yamen are collecting wages one by one, saying that they want to use them to suppress bandits. It was the order of the military sect. The notice was posted outside the Governor's yamen."

"Mr. Military Master is a little too anxious! He has to collect the salary as soon as he takes office." Zhang Huai frowned.

The salary of the border army was always issued by the Ministry of War. Unlike the township corps, it needed to be paid. So when he heard Xu Tong publish official documents to collect the salary, he would not understand that he was taking the opportunity to make money.

"Not only that." Wang Qingyuan said, "Listen to the message from the Governor's Office, all prefectures and counties must urge the white list owed over the years and increase the amount of money to suppress the bandits."

Zhang Huaiyu said sarcastically: "We, the military lord, are really anxious. It seems that we don't plan to make the people live a stable life this year."

"Mr. Li." Wang Qingyuan looked at Li Kaiyang and said, "When the students came, they saw that there were also yamen runners coming to collect wages in Li Ji's shop, and it seemed that they had started to do anything."

Since Li Kaiyang became the deputy general of Datong, several Li Ji shops have been opened in Datong.

On the surface, Li Ji and Li Kaiyang have no direct relationship, but the shopkeeper of Li Ji's shop has a close relationship with the servants in Li Kaiyang's mansion, which is actually Li Kaiyang's own property.

When Li Kaiyang heard Li Jishu and the people from the Governor's Office attack, his face darkened.

It’s unclear where Xu Tong is raising money on his head.

"Sir, I have some things to deal with, so I'll stay soon." Li Kaiyang bowed.

Zhang Huai nodded.

Knowing that Li Kaiyang was going to deal with Li Ji's affairs, what he didn't expect was that Xu Tong was too greedy and even did not let go of the shop of the deputy general of Datong Town, and he had to pay more.

Li Kaiyang hurriedly left the General's Mansion.

Zhang Huai looked at Wang Qingyuan and said, "Has our shop been levied?"

"Don't worry, the shops that have something to do with the General's Mansion and the shops in the Prince's Mansion have not been collected." Wang Qingyuan replied.

Zhang Huai breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, although Xu Tong was a little greedy, he had not lost his mind and knew to avoid the shop of his General Office. Otherwise, he might have had a fight with Xu Tong, the governor.

At this time, he was not willing to provoke Xu Tong.

It was not because he was afraid of Xu Tong, but because Xu Tong had just taken office and really wanted to cause a disagreement between the governor and the general, the one who suffered the loss must be his general. The court could not transfer the newly appointed governor. For the sake of the stability of Datong, he could only transfer him as the general.

At this time, only Liaodong among the nine borders was rebelled by the Jurchens and lacked generals. After being an General Anwen for so many years, he was unwilling to go to Liaodong.

"I'm fine, you're good, ten taels are really too much. Where can I earn so much money from the small shop?"

The shopkeeper of a grocery store begged to collect the salary.

One of the servants said coldly: "Stop talking nonsense. Pay collection is the order of the governor. If you dare to refuse to pay, you will be locked in the prison now."

"Cha, the shop really doesn't have that much money. Otherwise, the shop would take five hundred dollars and treat it as a treat for several of them to have tea." The shopkeeper of the grocery store said with a painful face.

"Bah, five hundred dollars, you are spending your time!" The servant spat and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't have money, brothers, smash it for me."

Several officers walked up and reached out to throw all kinds of groceries on the shelves to the ground.

"Master, Master, don't smash it!" The shopkeeper of the grocery store hurried to stop other servants.

Hurry!

The dishes in the grocery store were broken all over the floor, and even the pottery basins on the floor were not spared. They were broken into several pieces. In addition, many things were thrown to the ground.

Soon, the grocery store was in a mess.

One of the officers walked out from behind the counter with the money box from the grocery store. When the grocery store owner saw it, he hurried to compete.

"Go to your mother!" The officer kicked the grocery store manager over.

The broken bowls on the ground just cut through the forehead of the grocery store owner, and blood immediately flowed out.

There are several pieces of broken silver and copper plates in the money box, and there are more than two taels of silver in total.

The headman said to the shopkeeper of the grocery store lying on the ground: "Your shop collects ten taels of salary, but now it is only two taels, and you still owe eight taels. You can make up the money within three days and hand it over to the governor's office."

After saying that, he put the silver and copper plates in the money box into his arms, and the remaining empty money box was thrown to the ground.

"Go, go to the next house."

A group of officers came out of the grocery store and went to the next shop.

The shopkeeper of the grocery store held the empty money box and kept crying.

After the worker left, someone dared to go to the grocery store to help the grocery store owner.
