Lingbao County Cheng Lao Huang rented a house not far from the county office, after learning the news that the county government was attacked, he hurriedly put on his clothes, and came to the county government in a hurry, until he learned from Li Ergou that Guan Shanyue was not injured, and then put his heart in his stomach. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After all, Lao Huang has been a Beijing official, and he pondered that the gangsters' attack on the county government was far from being as simple as it seemed. In order not to leak the news and prevent the gangsters who slipped through the net from counterattacking, even if Chen Ergou sent someone to close the city gate that had just opened, even today's morning market was temporarily canceled, and martial law was implemented in the whole city.

King Fu's palace is full of lights, and the people in the courtyard go in and out, and they get up early in the morning to clean up and arrange with Zhang Luo, as if there is a big event to celebrate in the palace today.

King Fu ate early, sat in the palatial inner hall with Erlang's legs crossed, drank the best West Lake Longjing, looked up at Zhu Youqu, the king of Yingchong in front of him, and said with a smile: "Qu'er, the matter of Lingbao County has almost been solved at this hour!" This is also a warning to the zodiac Zhou, if he knows each other, he will obediently pick up his tail and be a man, and choose to protect himself. If he has to wade through this troubled water, then he will be the next Guan Shanyue. ”

Zhu Youqu was in a good mood today, he picked up the teacup and sniffed the tea greedily under his nose, and said: "The emperor is now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river and it is difficult to protect himself, and the thieves on the front line in Liaodong and Shaanxi and Gansu are enough for him to drink a pot. Let them toss, this Henan Mansion is not all under the control of your father. Today, we pulled out the nail of Lingbao County, and then replaced it with our people, and all the county orders in Henan Prefecture are our people, congratulations to my father for taking another step forward from the position of Dabao. ”

King Fu listened to Zhu Youqu's words, and the flesh on his smiling face trembled, he suppressed the joy in his heart, and said shamelessly: "This king wants to ascend to the throne of this great treasure, not intentionally to replace my nephew, but I don't want to watch the world that my ancestors worked so hard to fight destroy in his hands." The great Ming Dynasty is already in danger at this time, with natural disasters, civil uprisings, and border troubles...... These problems are not something that he Zhu Youzhen can solve. As the most noble and intelligent descendant of the old Zhu family, it is necessary for this king to stand up and turn the tide, for the sake of the people of this world. ”

If his eldest son Zhu Youxiang heard this, he would definitely stand up again and take the euphemistic duty in his heart, so today he only called his favorite second son Zhu Youqu to say his confidant.

Although Zhu Youqu and King Fu have a father-son relationship, but the son is noble by his father, in order to please King Fu, he is also extremely flattering, put down the teacup, pretended to be a sincere compliment: "Father is merciful, if you are a great treasure, you must be a Yaoshun-like existence." Looking at the world, the burden of this ZTE Daming belongs to you. With the wisdom of his father, he could easily govern a peaceful and prosperous world. Erchen felt that as long as his father became the emperor, the rebels in Jianzhou in Liaodong would be powerful in you, and maybe they would bow down and be subordinate without raising sword soldiers, and they would never dare to have two hearts again. ”

Thousands of clothes are not worn, King Fu was overjoyed by Zhu Youqu's words, as if he had become the emperor at this time, and said with a smile: "That's natural, this king sits on the granary of the Central Plains, although the grain output has been unstable in recent years, but the grain in the warehouse has long been piled up and nowhere to put it. There are neither internal nor external troubles, isn't this a peaceful and prosperous era, and I don't know how Zhu Youzhen managed a good empire into this chaotic appearance. It's just that now it's still him Zhu Youzhen in the world, and this king doesn't want to be this good old man. It's chaotic, the more chaotic the better, if you don't muddy the water, how can you take the opportunity to profit from it! ”

Zhu Youqu looked disdainful as soon as he thought of his emperor's elder brother, and said: "Today's emperor is really a wreck, and he was actually played by his own courtiers, and he made frequent tricks. Erchen listened to the eyeliner of the Weaving Bureau and said that now his dragon robe is all washed and repaired, which can save a few dollars. In order to help the victims of the disaster in Shaanxi, this poor bastard could only take out less than 200,000 taels of silver to buy relief grain, which was stripped down by officials from all walks of life, and it was estimated that one person and one bowl of gruel could not fit in the hands of the victims, which was really a big joke. ”

As a fellow sect, this was originally a matter of royal sorrow, but King Fu did not have a trace of sympathy and pity in his heart, and now he was most concerned about whether the nail in Guan Shanyue's eye in Lingbao County had been removed, his eyes were rolling wildly, and he said uneasily: "Looking at the time, those rangers should have already succeeded." But why hasn't the messenger come back yet? ”

Zhu Youqu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, thinking about Shuang'er's long legs like hemp rods and the girlish feeling of a slender waist, he couldn't help but feel horny in his lower abdomen, and said secretly in his heart: "If it weren't for the fact that Shuang'er is this old guy's right-hand man, and I don't want to leave him with a slutty impression, Xiao Lang's hoof would have been lying on this king's bed and let me ravage him." A good body dangles in front of me every day but can't get it, it's too itchy. However, when this king ascends the throne, I will not be able to choose the beauties of the whole world. Hey, it's a pity that Shuang'er's good body makes people itch and unbearable! By the way, this old guy's personal maid Ping'er is good-looking, Shuang'er Benwang can't move, I can't move a maid, it's her at night......"

King Fu saw that Zhu Youqu didn't speak for a long time, but his face showed a frivolous look, frowned and coughed, and said unhappily: "Qu'er, what are you thinking?" ”

Zhu Youqu realized his gaffe, quickly gathered his mind, and said seriously: "Erchen is wondering, Shuang'er has lived in the palace for a long time, and has never seen the outside world of flowers, and he has delayed his father's affairs because he was too busy for a while. ”

King Fu shook his head, the feeling of uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger, and he said with a heavy face: "No, Shuang'er has always been like an arm. Is there really some trouble? ”

Zhu Youqu just wanted to find another excuse to comfort King Fu for a few words, when he heard a rush of footsteps outside, and Shuang'er ran in from outside the door sweating.

King Fu looked at Shuang'er who was unrelenting, and said unhappily: "What kind of system is it that is reckless, this is King Fu's mansion, is it possible that the sky has fallen?" How's it going? ”

Shuang'er knelt on the ground with a "poof", her chest rose and fell rapidly, she licked her lips that had long dried up, and said in a panic: "Lord Qiyu, Shuang'er hid on a big locust tree outside the county government in Lingbao County, and saw with his own eyes that the county commander Guan Shanyue had been killed by random arrows. But something went wrong, the officials of Lingbao County were not the outcasts we thought, they were all sergeants, and most of the rangers who went to attack the county government died tragically on the spot under their military formation, and some of them who survived were also put into the prison of Lingbao County. ”

When King Fu heard that Guan Shanyue had died tragically under the chaotic arrows, he stroked his palms and laughed, he didn't care about the lives of those rangers at all, "Good, good, good!" Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, this king treats those rangers well, and serves them with good food and drink every day, and they die well. As for those rangers who have been caught, they have no use value for this king, Qu'er, you arrange for Zhang Shitong, the hero of Guanzhong, to send them back to the west. ”

Zhu Youqu let out a sneer, bowed deeply to King Fu, and said, "Obey the order, Erchen will do it." ”

Shuang'er knelt on the ground and felt a chill rise in her heart, it was more than a hundred lives, she originally thought that King Fu would blame herself, but who knew that he didn't take their lives seriously at all. Those rangers are just a tool in his hand, and now that they are used up, they will be thrown away, will one day they lose their use value, and King Fu will treat himself like this.

King Fu dragged his chin and paced a few steps, as if he remembered something important, a cold light flashed in his eyes, looked at Shuang'er who was kneeling on the ground without saying a word, and said undoubtedly: "Shuang'er, you go to the streets of Luoyang now to spread the news, just say that the thieves in Shaanxi have fled to Henan, and attacked Lingbao County Ya today, go quickly." ”

Shuang'er knew that King Fu was going to blame others, and he didn't dare to ask more, for fear of angering the moody him and being punished for no reason, he didn't even drink saliva, and after a hurried disguise, he went to the streets and alleys of Luoyang to spread rumors.

The wine and food of Fumanlou have long been served, and there is an unprecedented plate of rare sauced beef on the table, which is a rarity, because the government order prohibits the slaughter of cultivated cattle, it seems that the new county master still has some means.

It's just that there were originally more than ten tables of banquets, but now there are only a few tables. For those familiar landlords why they didn't come and where they went, the landlords present were all muttering in their hearts, but the county lord sat on the chair and didn't say a word, they couldn't bear his temperament, and dared to ask, for fear of touching a soft nail.

Guan Shanyue leaned back on the chair with a frown, looking like a big hooligan, not at all like a scholar, he cleared his throat and said: "When Guan first arrived in Guibaodi, he was supposed to visit you one by one, but the time was not enough, so I will invite you to a banquet in this Fumanlou on the day of rest, and please forgive me." ”

Although those landlords were the head snakes of the land, they didn't dare to show his face, and they didn't even dare to say it.

Guan Shanyue originally thought that most of the fields of these landlords were the ancestral property accumulated by the hard work of the ancestors, and he was sympathetic to this part of them, but after he sent someone to investigate, he found that this was not the case at all, most of them were for the rich and unkind, and they were taken by various illegal means. Of course, there are also objects that can be fought for, but at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was rotten to the roots, and they all wanted to protect their own small interests, and the more landlords in the grange, the more they tried their best not to pay a trace of money and grain to the imperial court, and the kind of good landlords who had compassion for the poor people were even fewer than that rare.

He glanced at the landlords and their families present without smiling, if it hadn't been to the point of tearing their faces, he would have killed them all and redistributed the land in Lingbao County, but he didn't give them a good face, he didn't believe that he couldn't fight these small landlords as a county official, "Guan someone is a rolling pin, and he likes to go straight, so I'll open the skylight and say bright words, and I won't go around the bend with you." As soon as the officials came out of the county office this morning, they were confronted with a random stream of arrows, so as to shoot the officials into hedgehogs. However, I was blessed with a great life and great creation, and I escaped a catastrophe. I believe that who wants the life of this official, you know best. ”

The landlords present were all nervous, and they lowered their heads to avoid Guan Shanyue's gaze, and they knew with their toes that this was a good thing sent by King Fu, because a lot of news about the new county order was provided to King Fu's envoy. The reason why Guan Shanyue in front of him didn't pierce this layer of window paper was just because there was no evidence.

Guan Shanyue looked at the landlords with evil intentions, sneered, and said: "I want you to make up for the land taxes that have been owed to the court for so many years, and also reduce the rent to the tenants." ”

As soon as these words came out, it was like dropping a bombshell, which moved their core interests, and the landlords present immediately exploded.

Guan Shanyue glanced at the angry landlords with a straight face, suddenly raised his hand and slapped the table hard, and said coldly: "In the world of this official, there is no ambiguity, and everyone who is doing it is either friend or foe. According to the confessions of the gangsters who attacked the county government, it seems that all the landlords in the county are involved, and the list will come out soon. Blatantly attacking the government is a great rebellious crime, and the Nine Clans should be punished. Some of the landlords who did not come committed suicide in fear of crime, and some of the masterminds committed too serious crimes, and they were killed on the spot because they resisted when they were arrested. Hmph, even if you know about the crime and don't report it, if you send it to the Criminal Department, you will definitely save the lives of your whole family. Remember, your lives are all in the hands of the official, and whether to kill you or not is all in the opinion of the official. Don't think that someone will come to save you, Huang Xiancheng has already let people block the city gate, and the city is also under martial law, so let's die that heart. This official gives you a quarter of an hour to think about whether to go all the way to the dark or live well in this world of flowers, it is up to you to decide. ”

Leaving the stunned landlords, Guan Shanyue brushed her sleeves and left after speaking.
