While the officers and soldiers of the empire were aiming at arresting and executing the rebels in the capital and exterminating their families, Zhang Yong and others in Fengyang had also begun to confiscate Liu Jian and Xie Qian.

The first to be confiscated is the Liu Jian family.

Liu Jian's family has now become a big family in Luoyang, Henan, and many people have begun to donate their family business and property since Liu Jian's father's middle school.

After Liu Jianzhong became a jinshi and even became the first assistant, the scale of the family business increased exponentially.

Today's Liu Jian family has become a well-known family in Luoyang, Henan.

Zhang Yong personally rushed to Luoyang with tens of thousands of officers and soldiers, and he also knew that Liu Jian, the head of the cabinet, must have great family power, so even if he raided the house, he had to prepare more manpower.

However, at this time, Liu Jian and the others did not know that he was about to be exterminated, and they didn't even know that something had happened in the capital.

After all, martial law began a few days after Li Dongyang was sent to prison, and Liu Jian's people who stayed in the capital did not have time to send the news back to Luoyang.

Although Liu Jian has resigned now, his influence is still very huge, and he has no time to socialize every day, and the local gentry who came to visit him are all scheduled for next year.

Liu Jian's family, on the other hand, were busy using his father's influence as a former cabinet chief to begin a large-scale annexation of land.

Just like the Jiajing Dynasty in the original history, after Xu Jiezhishi, his family wantonly annexed land, and Liu Jian's family is naturally no exception, which is called receiving dividends in officialdom.

After all, as the first assistant of the cabinet, Liu Jian has promoted many people in charge of the government for so many years, and many people owe him affection.

But Liu Jian naturally didn't dare to let his family do too much for the sake of his reputation during his tenure, but it was different after becoming a celebrity, so he didn't have to care about whether the official position was guaranteed or not, after all, there was no official position, so he naturally had to collect dividends from his protégés who were officials in the court, such as embezzling official land and seizing people's land.

Of course, it is inconvenient for Liu Jian to go out in person to collect profits, and he now declares that he only studies behind closed doors and does not ask about mundane matters!

And it was his nephew Liu Xi who ran the family business for Liu Jian and collected dividends.

Unfortunately, when Zhang Yong led troops to Luoyang to confiscate Liu Jian's family, something happened in Luoyang related to Liu Jian's family.

The people of Luoyang have reclaimed more than 8,000 acres of fertile land, but when the people applied to the government to put the fields they reclaimed under their own names, they were told by the government that these fertile fields had become the private land of the Liu family!

These people who reclaimed the famine were naturally unwilling, so they had the courage to sue the prefect of Henan Prefecture.

But what the people didn't know was that the more than 8,000 acres of fertile land were given to the Liu family by the Henan prefect, so the people who took the lead in filing a complaint were picked up on the grounds of disturbing the government.

"The troublemaker has been taken, please tell Yu Ge Lao to rest assured, I don't know if the Ge Lao will be free tomorrow, the student wants to visit the Ge Lao!"

Yan Yang, the prefect of Henan, also sent a letter to Liu Xi as soon as he arrested the people.

And Liu Jian also made an exception to meet Yan Yang, the prefect of Henan, once, after all, Yan Yang helped him do this.

However, on the day that Liu Jian saw Yan Yang, because some of the troublemakers were blackmailed to death by the officials in prison, which caused public indignation, which made the people make more trouble.

But Liu Jian scolded Yan Yang, the prefect of Henan: "Yan Futai, you are a local parent official, the old man should not reprimand you, but since you are my student, the old man has to ask, Luoyang, Henan is also the land of kings, why are bandits so rampant under your rule!" If this continues, how can the local people in Henan be safe! ”

"The teacher was angry, and the students immediately mobilized troops to quell these bandits!"

Yan Yang, the prefect of Henan, was very frightened, and hurriedly said goodbye to Liu Jian and personally returned to the prefect's yamen to transfer troops.

At this time, Zhang Yong's people also rushed to Luoyang, Henan.

Because it was a peaceful era, in order to prevent Liu Jian and others from arousing vigilance, Zhang Yong did not order the local government, so at this time, the officials in Luoyang, Henan Province did not know that Zhang Yong came to Luoyang with officers and soldiers.

The city defense post station in Luoyang, Henan Province was even useless, so Zhang Yong took the officers and soldiers into Luoyang City without much effort.

"Immediately surround the mansion of the criminal officer Liu Jian! Fast! Fast! ”

As soon as Zhang Yong entered Luoyang City, he immediately commanded.

And at this time, Yan Yang, the prefect of Henan, also happened to come over, and he didn't see Zhang Yong yet, but only saw a military attache running towards him with a series of officers and soldiers, and thought that this military attache was his subordinate, so he immediately ordered:

"Go to the old mansion! Arrest all the people who make trouble! No, kill them all! They actually made the official lose face in front of the elders, and the official wanted them to die a bad death, a group of people who were just like mustard! ”

Zhang Yong also happened to come at this time, and when he heard Yan Yang, the prefect of Henan, say this, he asked, "Who are you?" What kind of trouble, what is the trouble? ”

Yan Yang, the prefect of Henan, didn't expect a eunuch to suddenly appear, and then he realized that these officers and soldiers were not his own people, and when he saw Zhang Yong wearing a python robe, he also knew that it must be the inner court.

"Xia Guan is Yan Yang, the prefect of Henan, is a student of Liu Gefu, I have seen this father-in-law, I dare not hide it from my father-in-law, the rule of Xia Guan is not strict, resulting in Diao people making trouble in front of the old mansion, the father-in-law came just right, this group of Diao people want to kill the old man of the pavilion to rebel, and ask the father-in-law to help the lower official to kill this group of people, presumably the old man will thank his father-in-law for this!"

Yan Yang didn't know Zhang Yong's origin, so in order to avoid being despised by Zhang Yong, he directly pulled out Liu Jianlai and stated that he was Liu Jian's student.

Zhang Yong just smiled slightly when he heard this: "Okay, you lead the way in front!" ”

As soon as Zhang Yong said this, Yan Yang was overjoyed, so he hurriedly took Zhang Yong to the front of Liu's mansion.

As soon as he came to Liu's Mansion, Zhang Yong saw a large number of people surrounding the main gate of Liu's Mansion, shouting slogans such as "Please preside over justice" and "Please make decisions for us"!

"Father-in-law, these are the people! However, there are hundreds of people, although the lower officials don't know what their father-in-law is doing here, but presumably it will not be difficult for the officers and soldiers under the father-in-law to kill this group of Diao people! ”

Yan Yang said.

And Zhang Yong laughed: "Why did our family kill them, did it kill them or did they want to harm the emperor?" ”

"However, they surrounded the old man's mansion, father-in-law, you can't see this, be careful of the old man's play", Yan Yang, the prefect of Henan, was afraid that Zhang Yong would be angry, so he didn't say the words "Be careful of the old man of the pavilion and visit you".

Zhang Yong didn't pay attention to Yan Yang, and only instructed a military attaché: "First bring someone to surround Liu's mansion!" ”

As he spoke, Zhang Yong shouted to the people who were making trouble in front of him: "Which of you is in charge, tell my father-in-law, why are you making trouble, and my father-in-law is the master for you!" ”

At this time, the people who were a little frightened when they saw a large number of officers and soldiers appear, but now when they heard Zhang Yong say this, they all moved a little, and at this time a middle-aged man wearing a lazy scarf stood up: "Tongsheng Wu Xingyuan is their master!" I have seen this father-in-law, and the existing pleadings are sent, and I also ask my father-in-law to read it, and the sufferings of our grass people are all on this paper. ”

The Henan prefect saw that Zhang Yong was going to take the paper, and he was afraid that this Zhang Yongzhen was going to pretend to be a blue sky, so he hurriedly reminded: "Although the father-in-law has a respected status, it is inevitable that he will manipulate local civil affairs." ”

"My father-in-law is Fengyang who stayed behind Zhang Yong, and there is an edict from His Majesty that you can act cheaply during the arrest of the anti-party, since these people are related to the anti-party, this father-in-law can manage it, and even you can manage it!"

Zhang Yong took out the holy decree as he spoke: "There is the decree drawn up by the cabinet, the seal of the celebrant and the celebrant supervisor, and His Majesty's personal decree!" ”

Yan Yang, the prefect of Henan, had nothing to say when he saw this, and at the same time he was very shocked in his heart, thinking that this person was actually Zhang Yong, the emperor's favorite minister, and now he also said that he was arresting the anti-party, and he brought so many officers and soldiers, and even took a clear decree, what did he want to arrest against the party, could it be the elder of the pavilion?

Think about it.

Yan Yang, the prefect of Henan, also felt bad in his heart.
