The emperor of the old Zhu family, known for his "wide range of hobbies", pulled out the history books to take a look, what to promote the weaving emperor, the emperor of the cultivation of immortals, the carpenter emperor...... Of course, there is also Zhengde, the great general emperor.

I don't know if this "willfulness" is engraved into the genes of the old Zhu family, resulting in the clan being average.

Shen Rui looked at a small lacquered wood token in his hand, and twitched the corners of his mouth, at the moment, Brother Shou had not yet become a "general" emperor, but first encountered a more unreliable "Mountain King" clan.

That brand is not a precious wood, the workmanship is quite fine, the tiger carved lifelike, so not majestic, the word "Ling" is also like a master's handwriting, strong and powerful.

It's just that it is clearly written on it, and the main arm of the Red Tiger Village, King Kong Zhu Youxing.

It's still a real name!

Ordinary thieves, such as King Ning raising water bandits in Taihu Lake and mountain bandits in Jiangxi, are all raised as chess pieces and stragglers.

And this auxiliary general Zhu Youxing of the Linzhang Palace, Zhao Domain, is really interested in the profession of bandits, gathered 100 scoundrels and outlaws in the market, set up a cottage on Cishan, and personally served as the king of the mountain, and he didn't change his name or surname, I really don't know whether to make a token or a business card!

"Do all the rivers and lakes want to use this order?" He Taizhi was very curious, playing with a token in his hand, and humbly asked Du Laoba, a senior in the rivers and lakes, for advice.

Du Laoba laughed almost angrily, and shouted: "Little Master He, don't be deceived by his fake tricks!" This is still the county magistrate who issued a signature? Hahaha! Which one of the ways uses this Rausch? Isn't it? ”

He Taizhi also laughed.

Shen Rui couldn't help but laugh, just like the world speculated that the royal family was the East Palace Niangniang Spread the Cake and the West Palace Niangniang peeled the green onions, this auxiliary general was afraid that he would treat the rivers and lakes as a book.

The short man called "Lao Wan" who stood at the bottom laughed dryly, but he was quite restrained and did not dare to joke at will.

This person is the mountain bandit who kidnapped Du Min that day, named Wan Dongjiang.

took the news of Du Min and the bandits as a meeting gift, and helped Du Laoba to take the Cishan Red Tiger Village in one fell swoop, and now Wan Dongjiang has successfully transformed from a robbery to a dart, and took his brothers into the Shunfeng mark.

They all rely on the "road" to eat, Wan Dongjiang can be called familiar with the Tao, the face, and the rules, and there is no obstacle to changing his career.

It's just that he is new in the end, and in front of a big official like Shen Rui, who has elite soldiers, he will inevitably shrink back.

Shen Rui was kind to him, because he was well versed in the doorway of the mountain bandit village, he searched the Red Tiger Village inside and out, and left all the live mouths that should have been left, and none of the physical evidence that should have been taken was left behind, and the matter was done cleanly and beautifully, which made Shen Rui's follow-up work much easier.

"Lao Wan, I have to work hard for you and my brothers for a few days. The mountain pass still has to be guarded, and the news cannot be revealed for the time being. For a while, Shen Rui waved his hand to stop He Taizhi and Du Lao's whimsical ridicule, threw the token back into the evidence box, and turned to Wandongjiang Road.

Wan Dongjiang hurriedly bowed down and responded, and said that he didn't dare to dare to do it, and he would definitely give it to the adults to get things done.

Shen Ruiwei bowed his head, and said to Du Laoba: "Lao Du, the people over there in Taihang should be withdrawn, you will take people to Zhu Youxing's water and land docks, keep an eye on them, and wait for the news here, and then do it." ”

Du Laoba immediately patted his chest to ensure that nothing went wrong.

When he visited those old friends, he learned that the situation in Henan was severe, so he had already begun to draw good hands from the relatively stable Eight Immortals car dealers in the eastern part of the Beizhili to Shandong Line to help, and now many have arrived.

This wharf is different from the cottage, there is no place to hide, there are no masters, most of them are ruffians, Du Laoba's Green Wolf Gang is from the market, and he is the best at dealing with this kind of person.

The two of them took the order, and He Taizhi over there looked at the evidence, and was quite excited, because he asked Shen Rui: "Second brother, are we going to Anyang (Fucheng)?" Wu'an's side ......"

After the bandit rebellion was quelled that day, Shen Rui and his entourage have been stationed in Wu'an County, on the surface it is to provide disaster relief and comfort to the people, but secretly it is naturally investigating all kinds of lawlessness in Zhu Youxing.

Gao Wenhu's subordinates were divided into several routes, and in addition to continuing to arrest the rogues with great fanfare, they also helped the county guard some of the disaster victims who were not very safe, and helped maintain the order of disaster relief on Li Qi's side through work-for-relief.

This banditry caused a lot of damage to Wu'an Xixiang and Nanxiang, many villages were destroyed, and many people were killed.

Li Qi's cash-for-work relief is mainly in the field of water conservancy, mobilizing a large number of disaster victims to take advantage of the dry season to dredge rivers, dig ditches and repair canals, and prepare for next year's spring ploughing.

Shen Rui arranged a group of road construction work - Wu'an is mountainous, and he always has to rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and no matter what he wants to plant in the mountains, he must have a road to transport it.

After this turmoil in Wu'an, people are at ease, and the villagers are mostly simple, and the rule of "working to eat" is the main driving force for their work, and repairing the canal is for their own fields, and the county and the master book vigorously publicize that Shen Qingtian has led Shandong to get rich, and everyone feels that the good days of Wu'an are just around the corner, and they naturally work hard.

Of course, whether it is a thorn or a slippery head, they are all pulled out and thrown to do the heaviest work, and no one dares to look for ballast.

The big households in the city even recognize Shen Qingtian's golden signboard, who doesn't know that Dengzhou is the same as many mountains and few fields, and it was the same as the famine year after year, but what now? That's already comparable to Jinan Mansion, and it has the nickname of Xiaojiangnan!

How many wealthy businessmen have risen during this period!

Let's just say that the Lei family who is about to come to Wu'an to help is just a small landlord in the ravine back then, who knows him, but now when it comes to Shandong cocoon silk, who doesn't say that the Lei family is the first one!

The Tartar outside the plug is the one who recognizes this cocoon silk the most, and the Lei family is afraid that they will not make money from Liaodong and come back from the gold and silver seas!

There are not many next to Wu'an, but there are many mountains! If you raise mountain silkworms to weave cocoon silk, go to Shanxi and transport it to the outside of the plug......

The big families were so excited that their eyes were red just thinking about it, and they eagerly looked forward to Governor Shen bringing Shandong wealthy businessmen to make a fortune with them, so whenever Governor Shen had an order, they would resolutely implement it.

At this time, Dong Shuang, the wife of the county magistrate, once again stood up to organize the "Jishan Hall", and the wealthy households immediately responded positively, giving generously, and even secretly comparing who donated more.

Some of them don't even hide food at home, and when they donate it together, they hope to be able to put their names here as governors and magistrates, and think of them first when they have a good livelihood in the future.

This time banditry, the original Li Society was almost destroyed, and now it is just to rebuild the Yellow Book, redivide the Li Zo Society, because of the "Ji Shan Tang" donations, grain grains, and the governor's disaster relief grain, promised to be in place next spring of the cattle, the village Zhuzi Shecang was quickly established.

At the same time, Qingzhang Tianmu is also advancing rapidly.

There are not a few people who are killed in the banditry, and whoever is rich in the village can't hide it at all, and the wealthy family is the target of the gangsters from the beginning, and the survivors of the robbery are also many deeds lost.

While checking and checking the archives one by one and issuing new deeds, the county government naturally checked the hidden fields of those large households. There is a governor in charge, there are heavy troops on the side, and no one dares to make a mistake.

It can be said that everything in Wu'an is developing on the right track.

But it would be too optimistic to say that this stabilizes and relaxes.

After all, just a few days after this chaos, the bandit leader has not been caught, and there is no shadow of the mastermind behind the scenes.

Zhao Fan's auxiliary general, Zhu Youxing, was greedy for money and violent, and Chihuzhai did participate in this banditry, but to say that he rebelled against Xiao Xiang's position as the Ninety-Five Emperor, it was also looking down on him, and he did not have the hardware conditions.

The king of Anhua is a county king, and he still has to win over the border generals to pinch the border army before he dares to rebel, he Zhu Youxing is an auxiliary general, counting on two or three hundred bandits, forty or fifty ruffians and hooligans to rebel, it is simply a joke.

Zhu Youxing is more like fishing in troubled waters, or it has become a knife in someone else's hand.

Of course, either way, it was necessary to take him down quickly.

"On Wu'an's side, a part of the soldiers stayed behind, with Li Qi's father and son and Shen Xiu, there is no big problem. Let's not go to Fucheng, go directly to Linzhang. Shen Rui said in a deep voice: "First take down these ghosts and ghosts in the Linzhang Palace." ”

He Taizhi nodded, and said, "It's just, second brother, if this is implicated in the Zhao Palace, we will have a little manpower...... I heard that there are a lot of Ding Kou in this Zhao Domain, why don't you wait for Jiang Heizi's side? ”

"I can't wait any longer, Jiang Yan's people won't be able to arrive for a while." Shen Ruidao. "Today's Henan can't afford to toss, and it must be resolved quickly."

There is something else in his heart that is not easy to say to He Taizhi. He has always suspected that there is King Ning's handiwork in this matter, but the evidence he has obtained so far has no trace of collusion with Ning Fan.

But the little prince of King Ning has been in Henan for a little longer, and it is reasonable to say that Henan is so chaotic, they should leave quickly.

However, at this time, from Henan to Zhili, the time is just right, arriving in Beijing in the first half of the month, how to stay in Beijing for the New Year, and if you want to Taimiao Sixiang, you will not have time to learn the corresponding etiquette.

In the palace, the news that Queen Xia is pregnant is still tightly covered, and with the few words revealed by Brother Shou during his chat, Shen Rui estimated that it should be produced in March or April next year......

Ning Fan has been sending gold and silver to win over courtiers for many years, and has always spared no expense to fight public opinion wars, and rumors about the virtues of the little prince of Ning Mansion are flying all over the sky. "It is a matter of the country's foundation", this New Year's Festival, I don't know how many people will see the money openly, and how many will jump up and down in the DPRK and China.

However, what if the news of Zhao Fan's "crime" reached Beijing?

The rebellion of King Anhua is not far away, and now there is another clan clan colluding with the bandits to seize the county seat, which is still next to the place of Beizhili......

Zongfan, is it still safe?

In this case, he Shen Rui wanted to see who else would jump out and cheer for Ning Fan......

Therefore, Zhu Youxing's matter must be completed quickly, and the evidence must be smashed and killed, and quickly sent to Beijing.

"First of all, only take the princes of Linzhang County, as for the Zhao domain," Shen Rui smiled coldly, "With the temperament of the king of Zhao, he has the heart to protect his shortcomings, and he may not dare to act rashly." ”

He Taizhi, who hated the clan of the plagued place, silently completed the second half of the sentence in his heart, and it was good to act rashly, and he was catching it all.

*

Anyang, the city of Zhangde, the back hall of the government

"Whether the little prince of Ningfu wants the temple to be incense, it depends on the meaning of the saint, but we must protect the person first, if there is a mistake, the court asks us to ask for someone, what should we do? Raise your head to see you?! ”

Yu Pan, the prefect of Zhangde, put the tea cup on the table heavily, and glared at He Hanzong, the general judge who was still waiting to open his mouth.

"Bentai Temple Sixiang is a lie, then there is a real 50,000 taels of silver! That one is the silver that brought King Ning's filial piety to the Holy Saint to repair the Hongde Palace! Fifty thousand taels, that's fifty thousand taels, there is a mistake, are you out or am I out? ”

He Tongju was speechless, just as Yu Zhifu said, whether the matter of Taimiao Sixiang can be done is another matter, and the 50,000 taels of silver are true.

Can the Qianqing Palace not be repaired? The emperor blamed the delay in this money, which was much worse than offending a governor.

He Tongju comforted himself here, and his heart was a little settled, but he still couldn't help asking: "Then now the little prince of Ningfu has also left Henan." If Lord Shen is still in Wu'an and doesn't come to Anyang, will we just do it and wait? ”

There was civil unrest in Wu'an, and it was inevitable that the officials of Zhangde Mansion would be held accountable, but Henan had many years of natural disasters and people's livelihood difficulties, and it was well known that the imperial court would not punish them heavily; The lack of rescue can be pushed to the Qianhu Office in Linxian County and to the head of the Henan Dusi.

However, the governor rescued Wu'an County, but the prefect did not welcome the governor to the city as soon as possible, and still made the other officials of the Zhangde Mansion furious, for fear that the governor would be unhappy and wave his pen to write a fold, and they would not be able to eat and leave.

The governor stayed in Wu'an County for a few days, and the prefect was stable, how to judge such petty officials was already like ants on a hot pot, and they all scolded the eighteen ancestors of the Yu prefect thousands of times in their hearts.

"If he comes, ask you, is there a solution for disaster relief? How much grain does the official warehouse have? It's still not done this autumn, where will the seeds come from next spring? …… How do you answer? Governor Yu asked coldly.

He Tongju was choked on his neck.

Previously, the Tongzhi of Zhangde Mansion returned to his hometown because of his father's funeral, and many places in Henan failed to harvest grain in summer and autumn, the number of victims increased dramatically, and bandits rose everywhere, becoming a hot potato, and no one was willing to make up for the shortage. And with the recent chaos of the situation between the DPRK and China, no one pays attention to this issue.

Yu Zhifu is an old fritter in officialdom, and as early as the beginning, he quickly threw all the work done by Tongzhi to the general judge.

He Tongju has been in charge of the two major stalls in the past few months, and he has already been exhausted, and when he heard about the long list of problems in the house, he couldn't help but have a headache, opened his mouth, and just said half a sentence, "More than ten porridge sheds have been set up......

Governor Yu interrupted him and said, "There is also a matter of Qingzhang Tianmu. ”

He Tongju was completely speechless.

What is clear, not to mention how many big families there are in Zhangde Mansion, just say that there is a Zhao Wangfu, and it will not be clear at all.

Yu Zhifu snorted from his nose and said, "Then why don't you take advantage of the governor's arrival, and think carefully, what should be done, and what should be written...... Yes? It's all done plainly. Hurry up to catch up, aren't you afraid of being killed by him and make an example? Zhangde was the first fire he had when he entered Henan. ”

He Tong had no choice but to sow, and when he saw the prefect holding the teacup and sipping it, he knew that it was the meaning of sending off the guest, so he got up and said goodbye and left.

The new official took office with three fires, but don't be used as firewood to fill the stove. He Tongju sighed and went to the reserve warehouse, ready to do the grain and rice accounts again.

There was not much rice and grain, but now, alas, not only disaster relief, but the little prince of Naning Mansion took a team of men and horses to escort the 50,000 taels of silver.

Is it possible that the temple is even incense...... Further, can the Yu Governor's Mansion not be stammered, Tete transferred a batch of grain and grass supplies from the treasury, and several official warehouses have bottomed out.

Alas, when the governor was in Shandong, he built the Zhuzi Shecang, and I heard that Wu'an is also up now, and if he wants to come to Anyang, he has to come to this set first, and when the granary is empty, there must be a saying......

He Tongju felt extremely tricky when he thought about it.

What he expected was not bad, but later Governor Shen arrived in Fucheng and did push Zhu Zishecang again.

It's just that at that time, he didn't have to worry about the lack of food.

Because, before the legendary "Shen Copying Family" arrived in the Fucheng, he did an earth-shattering family raid - this one actually copied all the feudal mansions of the Linzhang Palace!

In the feudal mansion, there is a warehouse full of grain, rice, gold and silver, which is many times more than the reserve warehouse in the county, and the people say that it is enough for the people of the county to eat for two years......

"Copying the Linzhang Palace?!" Prefect Yu Pan was about to jump up, hurriedly grabbed the person who came to report the news, and said sharply: "The entire Linzhang Palace?!" Didn't let go of a single feudal mansion? How can it be! How many people did he bring?! ”

It's a shame that it's in a secret room, otherwise this roar can alarm the entire mansion.

Yu Zhifu's eyes were ruthless, and he said almost word by word: "Zhu Youxing is fucking dead?" ”

The messenger trembled unconsciously, and then replied in a low voice: "Shen Rui transferred people from Texas Guard, I don't know how many, I'm afraid of 10,000?" There are more than two thousand on Gao Wenhu's side. None of them are of use to Henan soldiers...... The little one went to the field, and the road was blocked. Because he was in a hurry to report to the adults, he didn't go to Cishan, but Cishan didn't come to the rescue, so he was afraid that he would ......"

"Germany, state, and health?!" Yu Zhifu couldn't help but grit his teeth.

Yu Zhifu also thought that Shen Rui's general control of Shandong and Henan military affairs would not be able to transfer Shandong soldiers to the emergency, after all, this kid had just come to Henan, and whether he listened to him on the ground in Henan had to be said separately, so he kept sending people to keep an eye on the nearest Pingshanwei of Dongchang Mansion, but he never thought that Shen Rui would transfer Dezhou Wei.

Texas Wei Dao is far from saying, the key, the commander of Texas Wei is Zhou Xian! !

Doesn't the Shen family have a grudge against the Zhou family?!

"In the end, it's an heir, an uncooked beast." Yu Zhifu was so annoyed that he couldn't help but scold in dialect for a long time to vent his anger.

But he also knew very well in his heart the benefits of transferring Zhou Xianlai.

Ordinary commanders, such as Guo Ren of Pingshanwei, did not have the courage to raid the feudal mansion without a clear purpose. Without a good father-in-law like Shen Rui, who doesn't worry about being a scapegoat?

Wei Zhou Xian, the only concubine of the eldest princess of Chongqing, the sister of Xianmiao, has an identity and seniority in the clan, and he will not have any scruples when he starts, and he does not dare to say anything.

And the Texas Guard, there are really a lot of soldiers.

With the increasing prosperity of Shandong, water and land transportation is becoming more and more important, and Dezhou guards the waterways and dry roads from nine provinces to Beijing, and its status is also rising.

Originally, the Texas guard was divided into the main guard and the left guard, and after Zhou Xian went for a year, the two guards were under his command.

In recent years, the garrison has continued to expand its army, with the original 8,000 soldiers now having more than 20,000, and the transportation army responsible for Cao Yun has also expanded from 1,000 to 5,000. It is now winter, when the fields are idle and the canal is frozen, Zhou Xian dispatched 10,000 soldiers and horses to Henan, which is more than enough.

10,000 soldiers...... Yu Zhifu thought about it a few times in his heart, and then he told the messenger in a deep voice: "Don't go to Tangyin, you hurry up and call someone, no, you go in person, and send a message to Zhoufu, Yifu, and Zhengfu." ”

The messenger answered, and asked, "What is the Zhao Mansion ......?"

Yu Zhifu said disdainfully: "A wreck, a little hairy child, can't fight Shen Rui, don't care about him." ”

Although he said so, he sent the messenger away, and the next day he still said that he was ill, and blocked all those who came to visit the patient on the grounds that the wind and cold were excessive.

Another day, the news that the Linzhang Wangfu was copied spread in the city.

It was a sensitive period not long after the raid on the city of Wu'an was reported to be a troubled bandit, and it was revealed that Zhu Youxing, the general of the auxiliary state, was raising bandits privately and coercing the victims of Wu'an County to attack Wu'an County, intending to rebel, how could it not attract attention.

For a while, there was a lot of discussion on the streets.

Soon, Zhu Youxing had already set up a checkpoint in the Taihang Mountain Pass, a few years ago, a private black prison, a private seal for customs prevention, and a private place at the water and land wharf.

I heard that the governor Shen Daren was specially in the county Yasheng Hall, and specially listened to the case of suing the sect for oppressing the people.

And the first case at the door was appalling, a family surnamed Duan came to sue, saying that Xiaomin Duan Xiang offended Zhu Youxing for no reason and was tortured to death. The Duan family wanted to collect the body and bury it, but they were blackmailed in every way, and they almost went bankrupt.

The case was quickly concluded, and the Duan family was true in every word, with both human and material evidence, and the murderous slaves also pleaded guilty and were detained.

Because Zhu Youxing is a clan and has many crimes, he needs to be escorted back to Beijing to be sentenced by the emperor himself.

Those murderous slaves were sentenced to be beheaded in court, and without a moment's delay, they were pulled out and beheaded in the street to show the public.

The local people have been suffering from the clan for a long time, and they all applauded and applauded, and they dared to expose the evil deeds of the feudal mansions.

Since then, there has been an endless stream of cases, and the people have been robbed of their fields and property, property and even ruined homes and families abound, not to mention Zhu Youxing, who is not the only one who is murderous, and the generals of the Zhenguo, Fuguo, and Fengguo of the Linzhang County Wang family are ruthless.

Otherwise, where did the mountains of gold, silver, grain, and rice come from in the warehouses of the feudal mansions?! Since it is not Lu rice, it is all people's fat and people's ointment!

Linzhang Wangfu is not wronged at all.

Of course, Zhao Wangfu would not think so.

When Zhao Wangfu got the news and rushed to find the prefect Yu Pan, he found that Yu Pan was "too sick to get out of bed".

The chief of the palace directly brought the good doctor of the palace and the eunuch of the medicine to "visit the patient", but the prefect of Yu had already prepared, and the good doctor of the palace also said that it was indeed a high fever that did not go away, and the eunuch of the medicine had seen the prescription and even the medicine residue also said that it was all right.

Changshi was so angry that his nose was crooked, but he couldn't, so he could only hate and go.

After managing the governor for a long time, He Tong judged that he was going to take over the prefect's bigger official business, and he was so angry that he jumped at home and scolded Yu Governor's treacherous affairs, and at the same time, he couldn't help but be afraid, for fear that Zhao Wangfu would find him.

I don't know if it's because of his low official position and difficulty in discussing major matters, Zhao Wangfu didn't invite him to come to the mansion, but sent an excerpt to the sky, indicating that he wanted to send 800 miles to Beijing as soon as possible to present it to the palace.

According to He Tong's eyeliner report, Zhao Wangfu also had to have more than ten waves of fast horses out of Anyang, and he didn't know where to send the letter.

Although He Tongju pinched his nose and listened to Zhao Wangfu's dispatch, he thought coldly in his heart, I am afraid that the case on Governor Shen's side is too high, and no matter how much Zhao Wangfu flutters, it will be difficult to turn over.

He didn't have much leisure to worry about Zhao Wangfu, because Lord Shen's side was trying to rob the people of the sect domain, so he had to implicate those local officials who helped the abuse.

The clan is in such a situation, and it will not be one or two officials involved. The governor is really moving, but he is afraid that the officialdom of Zhangde Mansion will change the sky, and there are rumors that Shen Zhaojia is afraid that he will clear Liu Jinyu's party easily.

The people here in Fucheng are panicked, they have nothing to do with Liu Jin and Jiao Fang, and they are in the same city as the Zongfan, how can they not deal with them, there are always some unclear places, and if you study them carefully, no one is clean.

In the past two days, Suifu City has really been a bit stormy.

On the way to the god of killing "Shen Copy", the declining god Zhao Wangfu was tossing several waves of fast horses out of the city every day, and another great god, the great god of scraping the ground, Liao Bo, the eunuch of Henan Town, actually came to the city with full pomp and circumstance at this time.

The whole city of the palace was complaining, not only afraid that Eunuch Liao would scrape the ground three feet more than before, but also afraid that this was the great god invited by the waves of "please runes" in Zhao Wangfu, and he would carry Governor Shen.

There is a way that the gods fight and the little devils suffer, if these two fight the law, which one of them has a slightly crooked hand, the place will be unlucky.

A cadre of officials began to plan a way back for their family in a panic, and the "seriously ill" Yu Zhifu gradually "recovered" and was able to get out of bed and walk around.

When the eunuch Liao arrived in Anyang City, he did not go to see King Zhao first, but first came to the palace to take a look at Yu Zhifu.

He didn't bring any doctors, and he didn't care much about the prefect's physical condition, and he didn't even enter the ward, so he symbolically stood in the front hall and said lightly, "It's okay, just turn around and carry it to King Zhao's mansion." ”

Then he swaggered into the courtyard vacated by the richest man in the city, and unabashedly received a large wave of filial piety, including the Yu Mansion.

He really talked about it, and two days later, he really asked someone to carry the sliding rod to carry Yu Governor's Mansion to King Zhao's Mansion.

Yu Zhifu has actually "recovered" from his illness to be able to walk on the ground, but it is not good to immediately behave vigorously and healthily, so he has to thank Shangguan again and again for his understanding, and "strong support the sick body" to sit on the sliding rod.

And together with them, there was Shen Rui, the governor who had just arrived in Fucheng, and Zhou Xian, the commander of the Texas Guard.
