Chapter 649: Old and New Conflict

In the blink of an eye, the changes presided over by Liu Juntao were in full swing in all parts of the Ming Dynasty, but then they encountered great resistance.

After careful consideration and close consultation with his subordinates, Liu Juntao decided to take care of the interests of most of the landlords and gentry in the process of changing the law, and protect the property and acres of these people, but the taxes of these people still had to be paid and transferred as usual. At the same time, in order to take care of the ministers of the court, Liu Juntao did not completely overthrow the political system and system of the Ming Dynasty, but only changed it.

Moreover, in order to smoothly implement the decree on changing the law, and in order to be able to coordinate the interests of all parties in a timely manner, Liu Juntao also transferred hundreds of shrewd and capable personnel from the new-style schools in Shandong and Shanxi to serve as judges for the change and assigned them to all parts of the country to implement the decree on changing the law.

But even so, in the eyes of the gentry, officials, and heroes, Liu Juntao's change is already a "mad" move, if the Ming Dynasty changes according to Liu Juntao's change, it will surely destroy the country and the world, and some people have even compared Liu Juntao with Wang Mang of the Western Han Dynasty!

After the reform was vigorously carried out, only a month later, Liu Juntao had already received hundreds of urgent reports.

The judges sent by the imperial court to various parts of the country to assist in the reform of the law were hindered, and most of the local officials disobeyed the judges and secretly stumbled on them, or even directly expelled them.

And many gentry and wealthy families in various places, big and powerful even sent out their families and gangsters to openly intercept and kill the judges sent by the imperial court, and during this period of time, there were no less than 30 urgent reports of the death of the judges in front of Liu Juntao!

And what is more serious is that now the officials in the Ming Dynasty are uneven, and there are still many corrupt officials and mediocre officials, who take advantage of the opportunity of this change to act wantonly, and the upper level is against the imperial court, and the lower is to expropriate the people, and wantonly take the opportunity to make a fortune and eradicate dissidents. This situation is already shaking the national capital of the Ming Dynasty!

At this time, Liu Juntao was furious in his heart, he and his subordinates worked hard, bearing huge pressure and danger, in order to make the Ming Dynasty rich and strong, but these corrupt officials, gentry and wealthy families did their best to slander them, which made Liu Juntao's heart suddenly murderous!

Liu Juntao immediately asked to see Emperor Chenghua, and after obtaining the approval of Emperor Chenghua, Liu Juntao immediately ordered the reorganized Central Intelligence Department to dispatch, and the Fang Department vigorously investigated the gentry and powerful people all over the country, and the court department made every effort to investigate and prosecute officials who opposed the change of law and violated the laws of the Ming Dynasty.

"All those who commit the crime will be dealt with at the top and will be dealt with again!"

Liu Juntao angrily issued an order, and the head of the CIA Liu Zi'an and the vice minister Menda were also ruthless, and the two dispatched thousands of men and horses to attack privately, and more than 2,000 people from the original personnel of the North Town Fu Division and the South Town Fu Division participated in it, and made every effort to implement Liu Juntao's orders.

But what Liu Zi'an and Menda didn't expect was that many of these people who went out to handle the case also opposed the change of the law, and they were basically Jinyiwei of the former North Town Fu Division and South Town Fu Division.

These people not only passed the buck and delayed each other in the course of the inspection, but even deliberately reported to the officials, gentry, and wealthy families who opposed the change of the law and violated the law and disordered government.

Liu Zi'an and Menda supervised the matter for a whole month, but they didn't make an inch, didn't catch a single prisoner, and didn't finish a case file, which made Liu Juntao very dissatisfied!

In this regard, Liu Juntao specially summoned Liu Zi'an and Menda, gave the two a one-month deadline for handling the case, and ordered the two to basically eliminate the opposition forces in various places within one month, otherwise the two of them will go home directly to farm!

Back at the Yamen of the CIA, Liu Zi'an and Menda looked at each other and smiled bitterly, Liu Zi'an said: "How many people in our department are the Jinyi guards of the original South Division and the North Division?" ”

Menda wanted to cry and said without tears: "In order to make up for the lack of manpower during the merger and reorganization, almost all the Jinyiwei of the South Division and the North Division were included, and now nearly seventy percent of the staff in our CIA are the original Jinyiwei!" ”

Hearing this news, Liu Zi'an suddenly became two heads and said, "In this way, we can't achieve anything!" ”

Menda gritted his teeth and said; "It's better than this! I have been in Beizhen Fusi for so many years, and I also have some prestige, and this matter will be supervised by me, I will go directly out of Beijing with my cronies and press to the front line, I don't believe that those little cubs dare to be so presumptuous! ”

Liu Zi'an thought about it, and now he can only do this first, so he said: "It's okay!" There is Minister Laomen, I fully support here, let's join hands to do this matter well, and we can return to the elder! ”

The next day, Menda took 50 of his subordinates out of Beijing and went straight to Kaifeng, Henan, preparing to control the Quartet in Kaifeng and urge all parties to inspect those who opposed the change.

When Menda rushed to Kaifeng with his people, he settled down in the stronghold set up by the CIA in advance and began to supervise the case.

But on this night, this stronghold composed of three courtyards was suddenly besieged by hundreds of black-clothed people, all of whom were fearless of death and had strong combat power, and were even equipped with firearms such as three-eyed guns, earth-shaking thunder, and even four tiger guns!

For a while, the flames were everywhere and the roar was continuous, and in addition to the fifty capable men led by Menda, there were only twenty CIA infantry stationed here in the courtyard of Sanjin.

Menda lit wolf smoke and asked for help from the rest of the strongholds in the city, and at the same time reported to the garrison and government in Kaifeng City, and led seventy men in the courtyard to fight to the death.

But an hour has passed, and the hundreds of black-clothed men have occupied the front yard by virtue of their numerical superiority and sharpness of firearms, and now they are attacking the middle courtyard, and most of the seventy men under Menda are also killed and wounded, and there are less than thirty soldiers and horses who can continue to fight!

However, there was no response from the rest of the strongholds in the city, even the garrisons and officials in Kaifeng City did not move, and what made Menda feel frightened was that the houses around this stronghold were all black lights and blind fires, as if only this courtyard was inhabited in Kaifeng City, and the rest of the huge city was empty!

"Whereabouts leaked!"

At this time, Menda's heart was bright, and his whereabouts must have been leaked, so that these men in black could deploy in advance, turning this CIA stronghold into a deadly trap.

"Who the hell has such a ability!"

Menda is also a figure who has been the commander of the Beizhen Fusi for more than ten years, but he still can't think of anyone who has such a great ability, he can mobilize hundreds of people in Kaifeng City, besiege himself, a second-class member of the imperial court, and turn a blind eye to the garrison and government in Kaifeng City!

"Or, in other words, Kaifeng Mansion also has a part in tonight's matter!"

Thinking of this, Menda suddenly became angry, thinking that when he had just entered the city, those officials of Kaifeng Mansion were all flattering, and they were extremely flattering to themselves, which made Menda feel extremely insulted!

"Kill! Kill me! ”

Menda roared angrily, and rushed forward with the four men around him, at this time those men in black had already occupied the middle courtyard, and were storming the backyard, fighting with the last dozen CIA soldiers and horses guarding the gate of the courtyard.

Menda's long knife was invincible, and in the blink of an eye, he killed eight people and wounded three, but three of his men also fell, and only one person was left behind.

And there are only four of the dozen or so subordinates at the door, but more than two hundred people in black have poured in outside the door, and I don't know how many people in black there are outside the courtyard!

Seeing this, Menda knew that he was dying tonight, so he shouted, "If I die today, you will not be able to do so!" The Heavenly Ce Guild will definitely avenge me, I'll watch below! ”

With that, Menda rushed forward with the last of his men, and in the blink of an eye, he collapsed in a pool of blood.

That night, the Ministry of Intelligence lit a fire in this place in Kaifeng City, and the fire soared to the sky, and it burned all night.

Early the next morning, Kaifeng Mansion reported to the imperial court: a courtyard in Kaifeng City accidentally caught fire, and after the government extinguished the fire, it was confirmed with waist cards and other items that all 70 subordinates of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Menda Unicom were killed!

This news was like a thunderclap, and it suddenly exploded in the sky above Daming! Anyone with a discerning eye understands the undercurrent, and the fire is just a rhetoric!

Liu Juntao was furious when he heard the news, and immediately ordered the CIA and the Criminal Department to work together to find out the truth, and never believed that Menda and other 70 people died in the fire!

Liu Zi'an was also red-eyed, and after applying for a Longxiang Army from Liu Juntao, he went directly to Kaifeng Mansion to investigate the case, vowing to find out the truth.

Emperor Chenghua was even more angry when he heard the news, now those second-grade members who have the courage to kill the imperial court, if the imperial court does not deal with it strictly, tomorrow these Xiaoxiao will have the courage to assassinate their own Ming Emperor!

As a result, Emperor Chenghua firmly stood on Liu Juntao's side, and issued seven holy decrees in a row, requiring the Henan Political Envoy and Kaifeng Mansion to make every effort to investigate the case, no matter who it was, they must obey the dispatch of Liu Zi'an, the director of the CIA who has gone south, and close the case within one month!

Soon, Liu Zi'an found a clue in the courtyard that had been turned into rubble: the weapons left behind by those men in black!

With these weapons, Liu Zi'an found the military battle bureau to create these weapons, and then found out that these black-clothed people were basically assembled by officials and gentry from Henan, Nanzhili and other provinces, and these weapons were also provided by a Henan deputy general, and even the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture also participated, opening the door for these black-clothed people, and even dispatched two classes of officials to secretly move away the surrounding people.

And what frightened Liu Zi'an the most was that the rest of the strongholds of the CIA in Kaifeng City also defected, and these people turned a blind eye to Menda's request for help under the intimidation and the temptation of silver!

After this result was reported to Liu Juntao and Emperor Chenghua, the two of them were immediately furious, and Emperor Chenghua directly ordered all the criminals to be taken into custody and all escorted to Beijing; Liu Juntao even directly sent a large army to arrest them, and eight days later, all these criminals were beheaded in Beijing to show the public!
