Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

"Do you know what a bank is like?" Zhang Xiaochun asked back.

"Yes……"

"The local yamen dared to take the opportunity to take money from the bank, and it also involved the killing of yamen officials. If His Majesty finds out, the consequences may be..."

"Your Majesty, I'm going to ask the prison secretary."

"and many more."

"What else is there for Zhang Buzheng?"

"Does Chen Zhengxian know about the financial report issue in Shangdang County?"

"He should know."

"Chen Zhengxian has never reported this matter to the official!" Zhang Xiaochun's face darkened, "You should hurry up and ask the prison secretary, if this matter goes wrong, you and I will both lose our official hats!"

Li Que shuddered, and said, "I'm off now!"

Zhang Xiaochun was not in the mood to prepare supplies for Wu Jie, so he immediately found out the financial reports of the prefectures on the Hedong Road that had been sorted out a few days ago.

Hurry up and write a report to Zhengshitang and Zhao Guanjia.

At this time, the Chief Secretary Yamen in Xingzhou, West Road, Hebei, also received a letter from Shangdang.

It's just that this is a secret letter, which was received by Chen Biche, the eldest son of Chen Zhengxian, the chief secretary of Hebei West Road.

After he read the letter, he was stunned.

He hurriedly wrote a letter to his father who was on his way to the capital, telling him what had happened in Shangdang.

He didn't expect his cousin to act so violently that he killed the imperial envoy of the imperial court.

This is the great crime of the Yi people!

At this time, Chen Zhengxian had no idea that his nephew had already pinned the heads of the Chen family to the ground, and he had already reached the bank of the Yellow River.

The Yellow River is covered with snow, and the world is vast.

"Officer, after crossing the Yellow River, you will be Kaifeng Mansion."

Chen Zhengxian stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Are the gifts all right?"

"It's all well preserved."

"Okay, I finally came to Beijing once, and the whole capital has to take care of it."

Not long after, after crossing the Yellow River, Chen Biqing, Chen Zhengxian's youngest son, brought some people to meet his father in person.

"Brother Chen, your father is now a very popular figure in the capital. I heard that many people in the court called him to come to the capital to preach benevolent government."

"My father is modest and loves the people like a son. He has witnessed several unjust cases with his own eyes, so he has always called on the court to reduce the criminal law and implement a benevolent government."

Everyone around clasped their fists together: "It's our honor to come here with Brother Chen to welcome the Political Counselor Chen. I hope Brother Chen will take care of you for the future of my younger brother."

"Wherever it is, it's all for the emperor's worries."

"Brother Chen's eldest father is also a transshipment envoy on Jiangnan West Road. I heard that he has done quite well in the local government and is deeply loved by the people. He is a virtuous family."

Chen Biqing clasped his fists together and said with a smile, "You guys are overwhelmed."

"However, I heard that Li Mengbo's father is Li Guang, the governor of Jiangdong."

"Who said that?"

"The rumor is."

"Impossible. If Li Mengbo's father is the chief envoy of Jiangdong, it is impossible for him not to tell the outside world. You know, Li Guang just made great contributions in Jiangdong at the end of last year."

Chapter 861: Shangdang Takes People! (Second more)

"That is, if Li Mengbo's father is Li Guang, he cannot help publicizing it everywhere. This is the best chance for him to gain fame." Someone said so.

"Okay, my father is coming soon." Chen Biqing said.

Only then did the crowd gallop to the ferry on horseback.

"Father!"

Chen Zhengxian opened the curtain, saw his youngest son, and said solemnly: "You are here."

"The child came to meet the father."

The others quickly saluted and said, "I have seen Chen Shenzheng."

"Father, these are my classmates at the University of Tokyo."

Chen Zhengxian nodded and smiled at everyone, "Qing'er often mentioned you in her letters, saying that you are all young talents, the future pillars of the Song Dynasty."

Everyone was flattered, and hurriedly said: "I heard about Chen's political sage earlier, and I can meet you today, Sansheng is lucky."

"Okay, let's go, let's go into the city together."

In the evening, Zhao Ning was reclining on the bamboo chair in Wende Hall with his eyes closed.

To be honest, he was in a very bad mood.

Even extremely violent.

Gao Qiu stumbled into the Hall of Wende and saw Zhao Guan's family half lying there motionless, not daring to disturb him.

After a while, the sky outside gradually dimmed, and the maids came in to light candles, Zhao Ning opened his eyes, saw Gao Qiuchu there, and said, "What's the matter?"

"Chen Zhengxian has entered the city."

"Oh."

"Some University of Tokyo students went to meet him, as did some officials."

"Oh."

"Recently, the court has called for a reduction in punishment, just like Emperor Wenwen of the Han Dynasty, Shi Yiren..."

Before Gao Qiu finished speaking, Zhao Ning got up suddenly, and overturned the coffee table on one side, the teapot, teacups, calligraphy and paintings on it were scattered all over the floor.

"What are you doing!" Zhao Ning yelled angrily, "They are such shameless and greedy people, but they still want me to reduce the punishment! I didn't punish their nine clans one by one, it is already very kind!"

Zhao Guanjia's voice resounded in Wende Hall, and veins burst out on his forehead, like an angry dragon.

Gao Qiu was so frightened that he quickly knelt down: "Your Majesty calm down, Your Majesty calm down..."

Zhao Ning suddenly walked to the wall, pulled out the sword on the wall, and slashed at the book case.

With a muffled sound, a gap was cut in the book case, and the cut part fell on the wooden floor, making a "da da da" sound, and rolled down in front of Gao Lian.

Before Gao Qiu could say anything, the case was also lifted by Zhao Guan's house, and everything on it was overturned on the ground.

In the end, Zhao Guan's sword smashed towards the ground and cut into the wooden floor, the blade was still humming.

The blade was less than a foot away from Gao Qiu, and Gao Qiu was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he didn't dare to vent his breath.

It's been a long time since Gao Qiu saw Zhao Guan's family so angry.

He dared not speak any more.

The servants and maids outside did not dare to come in either.

It was still snowing outside, and the pitch-black night was too thick to melt.

After a while, Zhao Ning said: "Keep an eye on this Chen Zhengxian and see which officials have contacted him. I want a list!"

"Yes... yes..." Gao Qiu's voice was trembling.

"Go down."

"My minister retire."

When Gao Qiu went out, his legs were weak.

On the [-]th day of the first lunar month, the news that the Shangdang county government office was flooded, and the magistrate and officials of the county government were burned to death, was transmitted to the Zhengshitang in an official document.

The news aroused great concern in the Zhengshitang, but no one knew that the people from the Su Provincial Court died in the Shangdang, otherwise it would inevitably cause a political storm.

However, even the news that the Shangdang yamen was leaking has not been spread yet.

Chen Zhengxian started his work report in the capital, and publicized his book "Essentials of a Benevolent Government" everywhere, which attracted the attention of many people.

It's here, on the 24th of the first lunar month, Shangdang.

Early in the morning, several officers and soldiers in Shangdang County saw a dark torrent appearing in the snow ahead.

Not long after, the Japanese cavalry arrived at the city of Shangdang.

The surrounding business travelers immediately moved away, not daring to approach in the slightest.

The officers and soldiers quickly closed the door.

But Zhang Bofen ignored those officers and soldiers, instead he let the soldiers and horses split up and surrounded Shangdang County in one morning.

After the enclosure, no one is allowed to leave at will.

At this time, the officers and soldiers of Shangdang County realized the seriousness of the problem.

A inspector named Lu Shuo came over with someone and said, "The lower official is the inspector of Shangdang County. The upper official is here. What are you doing here?"

He Bin from the Imperial City Division was among them. He rode on the horse, glanced at Lu Shuo, and said, "He Bin, the Imperial City Division."

Everyone's expression changed drastically, Lu Shuo said: "I don't know what commander and envoy from the Imperial City Division is here, and I am far away to welcome you."

"You don't need to greet me, open the south city gate obediently, and close all the other city gates, and no one can enter or exit."

"This is……"

"These are the imperial guards from the capital. You are not qualified to question them here. Do it obediently, or you will bear the consequences."

"Yes Yes Yes!"

At noon, the Wang family's house was still singing and dancing. Wang Chong was enjoying himself while drinking and looking at the beautiful women with thin waists.

Butler Wang San rushed in and shouted: "Officer, it's not good!"

"Get out, don't disturb me drinking!"

"Officer, there are a lot of cavalry coming from outside the city!"

"cavalry?"

"Yes, cavalry!"

Wang Chong's complexion sank slightly, then he smiled and said, "What does it have to do with me?"

"Now the whole city is sealed off."

"So what if it's sealed?"

"I am afraid……"

"Go away, don't hinder me!"

"Yes……"

In the afternoon, after teams of cavalry entered the city, they began to block the streets.

The first thing the Imperial City Secretary did after he entered the city was to go to He Hui's house, the county magistrate, to seal up He Hui's house, and start checking the accounts.

At the same time, they went to Wang Chong's house.

Huangcheng Division got the first-hand information from the mother and son. Almost everyone knows who the owner of the 'Weimin Commercial Company' in Shangdang County is.

Wang Chong still didn't know the seriousness of the problem. After drinking at noon, he returned to his room and began to sleep soundly.

In the afternoon, the Wang family's house was surrounded by the Imperial City Secretary.

The servant of the Wang family was used to being arrogant, so he immediately stepped forward and scolded: "You are blind, and you don't even see where this is..."

Before the servant could finish his sentence, an imperial city secretary walked over and kicked the other party into the air.

"The Imperial City Division handles the case, whoever dares to stop it will be killed."

As soon as a group of black boots rushed in, some servants with clubs and weapons rushed out.

"This is the Wang family compound, who dares to be presumptuous..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the officials of the imperial city had already pulled the triggers of the crossbow arrows in their hands, and the uniform crossbow arrows swept across densely.

For a while, screams came one after another.

More officials from the imperial city walked straight in from behind.
