Zhao Yan knew in his heart that this Chen Sihai might have been sent by His Majesty to see him. If there is a slight mistake with him, it is estimated that he will be directly taken down by Chen Sihai.

Under such circumstances, Zhao Yan really didn't dare to offend Chen Sihai. He was a little cautious along the way, for fear that he would be involved.

Now that he has returned to Jinan City, Zhao Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief. When he arrived here, Zhao Yan's heart felt a little more secure, and the heart that he had been carrying for days also fell back into his stomach.

After getting out of the carriage, Zhao Yan shook off his slightly stiff hands and feet and took a deep breath. The air in Jinan City is still good!

Seeing that Chen Sihai also got out of the car, Zhao Yan adjusted the flesh on his face, pulled out a smile and walked over, and said with a proper smile: "Lord Chen has been tired all the way, and now he has arrived in Jinan, just let the official do his best to be a landlord and wash the dust for Lord Chen." ”

Chen Sihai glanced at Zhao Yan, nodded and said, "Lord Zhao is polite. Doing things for His Majesty and being loyal to the court is not tiring. ”

After saying this, Chen Sihai looked around.

Seeing the two ministers not far away, he directly turned his head to Zhao Yan and said, "Are those two political envoys and torture envoys from Shandong over there?" ”

"Lord Hui Chen, it is Zhao Kui, the political envoy of Shandong, and Zhou Fusheng, the envoy of Shandong." Zhao Yan nodded and said.

"Then let's go meet them." Chen Sihai said expressionlessly.

With that, he walked forward.

The Jinyi guard behind Chen Sihai hurriedly followed.

This time when he went out, he was escorted by a brocade guard, which can be regarded as Zhu Youxiao's super high specification for Chen Sihai, you must know that Jinyi Wei is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven and a royal guard, and Chen Sihai uses it to show that Zhu Youxiao attaches great importance to him.

Zhao Kui and Zhou Fusheng were also worried.

This time, His Majesty summoned Zhao Yan to Jining, but did not summon the two of them, and at the same time, His Majesty also sent a messenger over. This is not good news for Zhao Kui and Zhou Fusheng, or bad enough news.

Now seeing Chen Sihai coming over, how could Zhao Kui and the others not be worried?

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhao Kui and the two hurriedly greeted them.

They just wanted to say something, but Chen Sihai on the other side had already spoken, "Come on, take them down." Take off your official hat, strip off your official uniform, and put me in and locked up. ”

No one expected Chen Sihai to come up with such a sentence.

Seeing the people coming around, Zhao Kui and Zhou Fusheng shouted at the same time: "What are you going to do? This official is Shandong's political envoy (torture envoy), you can't arrest me like this. I want to see Your Majesty! I want to see Your Majesty! ”

For the cries of Zhao Kui and the others, Chen Sihai didn't seem to hear them.

As the governor of Shandong, Zhao Yan didn't expect Chen Sihai to do this, it can be said that Chen Sihai's behavior has exceeded his imagination.

At the same time, Zhao Yan also has a deeper understanding of Chen Sihai, that is, these people really have no scruples. The people of the Supervision Department who His Majesty favored, one by one, were even more arrogant than Jinyiwei, and the political envoy and the criminal envoy took it as soon as they said it.

This couldn't help but make Zhao Yan think of the word "cool official", so he took a step forward and said directly: "These two adults are the big men of Shandong, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to win like this, right?" ”

"Here is His Majesty's secret decree." Chen Sihai took out a holy decree, turned around and handed it to Zhao Yan and said, "When I didn't see them, I didn't dare to show this holy decree to adults. It's not that I don't believe adults, it's that I'm afraid that the news will be revealed. Now that the person has been arrested, it is natural to show it to adults. ”

Although Chen Sihai said that he didn't believe in himself, but that he was afraid of leaking the news, in fact, he still didn't believe in himself to put it bluntly. But now is not the time to care about this, Zhao Yan hurriedly took the holy decree and looked at it quickly, the expression on his face softened slightly.

This holy decree was indeed to arrest Zhao Kui and the others. Since there is a holy decree, it means that it is not Chen Sihai's personal behavior.

This made Zhao Yan breathe a sigh of relief, His Majesty wants to arrest two Shandong officials, which is nothing at all.

"Next, this official will thoroughly investigate the officialdom in Shandong and find out the case of reselling disaster relief grain, and I hope that the governor will cooperate." Chen Sihai looked at Zhao Yan and said slowly: "This is an errand assigned by His Majesty, and there can be no mistakes." ”

Zhao Yan heard it, Chen Sihai was warning himself. However, Zhao Yan was not very worried in his heart, although he was the governor of Shandong, he was not deeply involved in this matter, because he came relatively late, and he didn't know many things, and he had not been corrupted and co-opted by the Kong family.

This time for disaster relief, the food arrived, and Zhao Yan only sent it to the political envoy Yamen.

As for how the political envoy disposed of the disaster relief food, Zhao Yan is not very clear. Of course, this is also a dereliction of duty, and he will definitely be investigated afterwards, and he will definitely be punished.

However, Zhao Yan also knew that he came to Shandong to consolidate the rear, and to put it bluntly, he came for the military. So since he took office, Zhao Yan's energy has been in this regard, building warships, refurbishing armaments, and preparing to support Jizhou and Liaodong.

I haven't made any mistakes in the military, but I don't have much in charge of political affairs, so even if I am dealt with, it will not be too serious.

However, Chen Sihai's attitude, Zhao Yan also understands, and knows that now is not the time to be more serious.

So Zhao Yan hurriedly said: "Master Chen, don't worry, the officials from top to bottom in Shandong will definitely try their best to cooperate, and there will be absolutely no mistakes." After the official returns, he will strictly order them not to let Lord Chen have any constraints. ”

"I hope so." Chen Sihai nodded and said.

Zhao Yan is the governor, Chen Sihai has no way to move, but it doesn't mean that Chen Sihai is afraid of him. If Zhao Yan did something at this time, then he just took the opportunity to get him, and Chen Sihai was still confident in this.

As for the arrest of the political envoy and the torture envoy, Chen Sihai didn't pay attention to it at all.

According to Jin Yiwei's investigation and various signs during this period of time, it can all be shown that Zhao Kui and Zhou Fusheng are the most involved in this case, and they can even be said to be one of the masterminds.

Only after arresting Zhao Kui and the others can it be convenient to investigate, if the two of them are still put in their original positions, it will be very difficult to investigate. Some people don't dare, and some people have a fluke mentality, so it will become very troublesome.

It will be much less difficult to arrest Zhao Kui and the others first, and then investigate. Chen Sihai didn't tell His Majesty about this, and His Majesty had already asked him to do it.

In this matter, Zhu Youxiao saw it clearly and thought clearly.

This is like the shuanggui of later generations, arrest people first, prevent them from destroying evidence outside and doing things, and then continue the investigation.

I believe that at that time, there will be many people who fall into the well, and the so-called wall is pushed by everyone, and it is much easier to find out what happened to them.

Glancing at Zhao Yan, Chen Sihai said, "But there is one thing that still needs the help of adults." ”

"I don't know what's going on." Zhao Yan hurriedly asked.

"It's nothing, it's just that adults need martial law in Jinan City, and we have to arrest a few people." Chen Sihai said casually.

Of course, it's just a casual tone when you say it, but it's not so casual when you really catch people. Chen Sihai is going to arrest the people of the Kong family this time, and at the same time, he also has to arrest the people of the Wenxiang Sect, and there must be no mistakes in any place, otherwise things will become very troublesome.

Chen Sihai knew this very well in his heart, so he would let Zhao Yan cooperate, but he would never trust them.

Even if Zhao Yan is credible, Zhao Yan's subordinates are not necessarily. Now Jinan City is probably also in danger, and it is impossible for me to mess around.

If you mess up Jinan City by yourself, I'm afraid Your Majesty won't let you go. So Chen Sihai is careful, careful and careful.

After hearing this, Zhao Yan didn't say anything, nodded directly and said: "Lord Chen, don't worry, if there is anything to say, the Shandong Governor Yamen will definitely try his best to cooperate." ”

Chen Sihai just nodded and didn't say anything more.

Anyone can say such things, but even if they say it, no one knows what they will actually do. If he really believes in Zhao Yan with all his heart, it is estimated that he will die miserably in the end.

"It's done, let's go into the city." Chen Sihai said with a smile.

"Good. Lord Chen, please. Zhao Yan said with a smile next to him.

These two people are gone, but there is an uproar in Jinan officialdom.

No one expected that the first thing Qin Cha did when he arrived was to arrest the political envoy and the torture envoy, which was definitely a very scary operation.

When these two bigwigs were arrested, could the others still be okay?

There are many people who are weak-hearted, and if things are churned up, they will definitely be implicated; There are also people who rejoice in their hearts, these two guys have finally fallen, and if they don't fall, they won't have a chance to get on top at all; Some people even think that Shandong has seen the light of day, and this corrupt official who is on the head of the people of Shandong has finally been arrested.

Suddenly, the officialdom in Jinan was panicked.

It was under such circumstances that Chen Sihai began his anti-corruption journey in Jinan City.

At the same time, in the city of Jining.

Zhu Youxiao stood on the steps basking in the sun, stretched his waist gently, then took a sip of tea and leaned back on the rocking chair again.

Speaking of which, it's been a few days since I've had such a leisurely time.

Since I came to Shandong, I have been busy, and there are too many bad things.

Now that we finally have some free time, and there is enough food for disaster relief, maybe we will be rich. All kinds of money were also gathered, and they were enough to spend some time in a short time.

This made Zhu Youxiao feel very good.

The Lu Wangfu contributed a lot of money, and gave Zhu Youxiao a part of the cultivated land, so that Zhu Youxiao could use it to resettle the victims.

As for cracking down on land annexation and comprehensively sharing land, Zhu Youxiao himself has never thought about it.

In this era, land annexation is a general trend and is irreversible. Unless there is a radical revolution from below, a land reform. If that's the case, the emperor is the biggest landlord in the world, and he directly pushed himself into the dust and buried him.

The problem of the Ming Dynasty is not land annexation, but the non-payment of taxes; It is the people at the bottom who live in hardship and are too squeezed; is low productivity; is the low yield of food; It is the people who have no other way to live except farming.

A natural disaster, a man-made disaster, or even a serious illness in the life of a family member, will once again reduce the people who have been allocated the land to tenant farmers again.

It's just a repetition of the cycle.
