After Chen Yiming retired, Zhang Lingyang personally repaired a letter and instructed Sun Sheng: "You immediately order someone to go to Shandong and hand over this letter from me to Han Xiao." ”

"Slaves obey!"

Sun Sheng didn't read the content of this letter, and he didn't dare to read it, let alone ask Zhang Lingyang.

Zhang Lingyang is angry right now, Sun Sheng doesn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble......

……

After passing the eight-hundred-mile expedited to the capital, Jin Yiwei commanded Han Xiao to stay near Jinan Mansion and did not leave south to Qufu Mansion.

In Han Xiao's view, it is a top priority for Shandong officials to deceive and conceal the matter.

Therefore, staying near Jinan Mansion, Han Xiao ordered the Jinyi guards who followed him to investigate the specific situation.

didn't want to, but at this time I received a handwritten letter from Zhang Lingyang.

Looking at the contents of the letter, Han Xiao couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Originally, Han Xiao also thought that he could use the Shandong officials to deceive and conceal the matter so that he could stay in Jinan Mansion, and at least delay for a period of time, not to stab the hornet's nest of Shengyan Gongkong's family.

But Zhang Lingyang ordered him not to take care of the officialdom in Shandong, and asked him to go to Qufu Mansion to investigate the Kong family as soon as he received the letter.

In Zhang Lingyang's view, the officials in Shandong are just clowns who write jumping beams, and they can't set off any big winds and waves.

Besides, even if those Shandong officials want to make waves, they are afraid that they will not be able to do so.

It must be known that this time they followed Gao Pei and Li Guangtai to Shandong together, not only Xiaofuzi, the governor of Dongchang, but also 10,000 soldiers of the Beijing battalion.

These soldiers of the Beijing camp are not those wine bags and rice bags, but elite soldiers carefully selected by Ningguo Gongsun Ding'an.

With this 10,000-strong army in charge, I am afraid that those officials in Shandong will want to make waves, and they don't have the courage to do so.

After reading the letter, Han Xiao took back the personnel and hurried to Qufu Mansion with these brocade guards......

Because the itinerary was extremely secretive, it was not until Gao Pei, Li Guangtai and his entourage entered the Shandong territory that Zhao Wuwei, the governor of Shandong, learned about it.

But the general situation that Zhao Wuwei knew was only that Sun Ding'an, the prince of Ningguo, suddenly transferred 10,000 Beijing camps to Shandong.

As for why he came, Zhao Wuwei didn't know anything.

What Zhao Wuwei didn't know was that among the 10,000 troops, there were also Gao Pei, Li Guangtai and Xiaofuzi.

Zhao Wuwei didn't know that his own affairs had already been reported, and these soldiers of the Beijing camp had come to arrest him and the rest of the officials.

Although it was a little strange to decide to go out to Beijing, Zhao Wuwei really didn't think about himself.

After all, in Zhao Wuwei's opinion, the first emperor was so wise and martial that he was all hidden from himself. Today's Son of Heaven is not as capable as the first emperor, and he is even more mediocre, how can he be aware of his own affairs?

Therefore, when he heard the news that 10,000 soldiers of the Beijing Battalion suddenly came to Shandong, Zhao Wuwei was only a little surprised, and he no longer paid attention to it.

It wasn't until the 10,000 Beijing battalion came to the vicinity of Jinan Mansion that Zhao Wuwei noticed that something was wrong, so he hurriedly summoned Qian Ning, the commander of Jinan Wei, to come to discuss.

"10,000 Jingying suddenly came to Shandong, but what's the matter?" Zhao Wuwei asked.

In Zhao Wuwei's view, Qian Ning was aware of the transfer of the Beijing camp.

But he didn't expect it, Qian Ning shook his head and said: "I really don't know about this matter, and I haven't received any documents from the Ministry of War. ”

Hearing Qian Ning say this, Zhao Wuwei felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly ordered someone to investigate the whereabouts of Zhu Kaishan and others, who were the head of the household department in the past few days.

This investigation doesn't matter, Zhao Wuwei only found out that since he came to Jinan Mansion, Zhu Kaishan has ordered people to go to the surrounding prefectures and counties of Jinan many times to inquire about the livelihood there.

If it was another official, Zhao Wuwei would most likely be able to fool the past.

But Zhu Kaishan is different.

Not to mention that Zhu Kaishan has served in the local government for many years, and he is extremely clear about the following set, but now Zhu Kaishan is a household secretary, and he is naturally clear about the taxes paid by Shandong in recent years.

After realizing that his affairs were discovered, Zhao Wuwei was really flustered for a while.

But fortunately, in the end, it was the feudal official, and soon, Zhao Wuwei settled down and discussed with Qian Ning: "Jingying came this time, and nine times out of ten it is for taxes......

After Zhao Wuwei told his guess, Qian Ning looked flustered and said, "How should this be?" ”

"What's the panic?" Zhao Wuwei scolded Qian Ning, and when he calmed down, Zhao Wuwei continued: "The old man already has an idea. ”

"What's the idea?" Qian Ning hurriedly asked.

"Let's just not do it...... Zhao Wuwei made a movement to wipe his neck, and a vicious smile emanated from his face.

"Aren't you joking?" Qian Ning swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his expression became even more panicked.

"What do you think?" Zhao Wuwei sneered and said, "We have no way back.

When the Beijing camp arrives at the city of Jinan, it will be the time when we die.

You don't want to think about it, will Your Majesty spare us?

Instead of sitting back and waiting, we might as well fight back, and maybe there will be a glimmer of life. ”

"Your Excellency...... You are a rebellion, once you fail, it will be a big crime to punish the nine clans! Qian Ning stammered.

"Not necessarily!" Zhao Wuwei sneered, "Your Majesty's actions have already offended all the gentry in the world.

Once we raise our arms, we will gather followers. At that time, not to mention being called the king and the emperor, I am afraid that there will be no shortage of marquis and prime ministers.

Besides, since His Majesty came to the throne, he has acted absurdly and uninhibitedly, and he has reused Dongchang, Jinyiwei and his relatives, so we can start an incident in the name of the Qing monarch. ”

Seeing Zhao Wuwei say this, Qian Ning finally made up his mind.

After all, if you don't resist now, when 10,000 Beijing battalion soldiers come to the city, you will really have to sit still.

Now that he had made up his mind, Qian Ning said, "I'll repair the book and let the other brothers in the guard house start an incident together." ”

The reason why Qian Ning said this was because not only was he involved in the concealment of taxes, but even the commanders of other guards in Shandong were mostly involved in this matter.

Otherwise, the imperial court would not have heard a single rumor.

Seeing Qian Ning's statement, Zhao Wuwei nodded with satisfaction and said, "After you go back, you will declare martial law in Jinan Mansion, and you will not be allowed to enter or leave, and you will be caught off guard when the time comes." ”

Zhao Wuwei was worried that Zhu Kaishan and the others, who were still staying in Jinan Mansion, would notice something abnormal and would ventilate the Beijing camp outside, so he ordered.

"Don't worry, my lord, I can save my job!" With a reply, Qian Ning hurriedly left the governor's yamen.

After Qian Ning left, Zhao Wuwei thought about it again and ordered someone to inform the officials below of his guess.

At the same time, Zhao Wuwei also repaired a letter and ordered people to send it to Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places overnight, so that the gentry there could respond to him when necessary.

After all, once the land is measured, they will also be in for a catastrophe......
