On 7 June, Li Zhi sat in the Second Hall of the General Army, looking at the reports sent from various places. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The prefect of Xiangyang, You Minggui, the governor of Shandong, Wang Gongbi, Zhang Pu, Zhang Cai, Chen Zilong and other big thieves have all been taken. The organizers of the anti-tax movement that swept the country have all been punished. In any case, no one dares to obstruct the soda ash mine in Xiangyang and the cotton raw materials in Shandong.

Fanjiazhuang's various industries can resume production.

The inferior gentry in Xiangyang, Jinan, and Suzhou who smashed the goods in Fanjiazhuang have all been shot.

The only pity is that Qian Qianyi of the Donglin Party is not in Suzhou Prefecture, but hiding in his old home in Changshu County, Suzhou Prefecture. Qian Qianyi asked his family to hide Zhang Pu and the others, and they have been on Li Zhi's blacklist. If Li Zhi caught this leader of the Donglin Party who had returned to his hometown, he would definitely not spare his life.

Next, it's time to deal with the ghosts in Tianjin.

Li Zhi led 200 soldiers and slaughtered the Tianjin Governor Yamen. The soldiers soon surrounded the governor's yamen, blocking the front, back, and side doors of the yamen. Li Zhi took Zheng Kaicheng and slowly rode to the main gate of the governor's yamen and waved at the soldiers.

"Shout!"

A soldier with a loud voice walked up to the gate and shouted, "Listen, the people inside the governor's yamen, you have been surrounded!" Xingguo Bo only takes criminals, does not hurt the innocent, and quickly opens the door. Don't let us do it, hurt the innocent! ”

The soldier shouted a few words, but the people inside the yamen did not answer.

Li Zhi nodded and said, "Open the door!" ”

The soldiers shouted "Woo" loudly, and dozens of people lifted the smashing wood together, and began to bang on the gate of the governor's yamen. I don't know if the gate of the yamen has been reinforced, it is quite strong, and Li Zhi's soldiers bumped into it for a while, but they did not crash open.

Zheng Kaicheng's face was a little ugly, and he said: "Uncle, this time we attacked the state and the capital of the big city, and killed so many court officials, how will the court treat us?" ”

Li Zhi smiled and said, "Kaicheng, you are worthy of studying for a few years, that is, you know how to be loyal and righteous, and you are always worried that the court will be unhappy." ”

Zheng Kaicheng knew that Li Zhi was mocking him, so he jumped off the horse in fright, bowed and said: "Uncle, no matter what Uncle does, Zheng Kaicheng will follow him all the way to the end, and he will never hesitate!" ”

Li Zhi smiled and said, "Kaicheng, I believe in you!" ”

While the two were talking, the soldiers had already slammed open the door of the governor's yamen and rushed in.

Some of the Governor Li Jizhen's family members stood behind the door, sword in hand, and looked at the door in panic. Li Zhi's soldiers rushed in and shot at those armed with swords, killing more than a dozen people.

"Xingguo Bo led his troops to take people! All get on your knees! ”

"Those who dare to resist with a sword will be killed!"

The family members of the governor's yamen did not dare to resist anymore, and put down their swords and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy. Two hundred soldiers rushed in and quickly took control of the entire governor's yamen. Li Zhi rode into the governor's yamen, rode all the way to the second hall, and saw Li Jizhen, the governor of Tianjin, who was pale in face. and by Li Jizhen's side, Lu Hualin, the prefect of Hejian Prefecture, and Lu Hualin's younger brother Lu Huarong.

On the beam next to Li Jizhen, there is a zhang of white silk hanging, it seems that Li Jizhen is desperate and ready to commit suicide by hanging the beam.

Li Zhi jumped off the horse and said to Li Jizhen: "I haven't seen the governor for many days, is the governor ready to live?" ”

Li Jizhen's face turned pale, and he said to Li Zhi: "Li Zhi, you killed the governor of Shandong, the prefect of Suzhou, the prefect of Xiangyang, and the world-famous leaders of the Restoration Society, Zhang Pu, Zhang Cai, and Chen Zilong. Is there anyone in this world that you don't dare to kill? ”

Li Zhi said lightly: "For the sake of the people of Tianjin, I have to kill these dog officials and inferior gentry." The high taxes of the small people in Tianjin have forced the small people to survive, and the slightest natural disaster will be ruined and the family will be destroyed. If taxes are not levied on the gentry, the people of Tianjin will sooner or later rebel against thieves, and the reputation of a town in Tianjin will not be preserved. Killing a few hundred people can save a million, how can Ben Bo not kill them? ”

Li Jizhen's face turned pale and she couldn't speak.

Li Zhi no longer paid attention to Li Jizhen, looked at Lu Hualin and Lu Huarong who were trembling on the side, and said with a smile: "There are two acquaintances here!" ”

Lu Hualin knelt on the ground with a plop and shouted: "Xingguobo, the lower official has gone away, and he has not obstructed Xingguobo's tax collection plan, please forgive the lower official's life!" ”

Lu Huarong also knelt on the ground, stretched out his left hand and slapped him in the face, saying, "Kill you slut!" Seeing that Li Zhi's expression remained unchanged, he stretched out his right hand again, slapped his right cheek with a bang, and said: "Kill you, a slut who has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, even Xingguobo dares to offend!" ”

Li Zhi pulled out a chair and sat down, and said lightly: "It's useless to slap yourself in the face, it's too late to commit suicide!" That's not how we count. ”

"In the seventh year of Chongzhen, Lu Huarong plotted against my industry and hired a green-skinned scoundrel to smash my textile workshop. After being repelled by my family, Lu Hualin shielded Lu Huarong, and the messengers in the yamen even wanted to arrest me into the class room. ”

"Just this one, Ben Bo can destroy the two of you and the three clans!"

Lu Huarong has seen Li Zhifei and Huang Tengda all these years, and he has long known that sooner or later he will be liquidated by Li Zhi. At this time, when he heard Li Zhi's words, he didn't dare to say anything, and knelt on the ground trembling.

He couldn't suppress his fear, and he peed on his pants all at once.

Lu Hualin knelt on the ground, the cold sweat that came out of his body soaked through his official robe, and begged bitterly: "Master Xingguo has a lot, why do you want to mention this thing that has already passed?" It's been seven years, and it's been weak for a long time. ”

Li Zhi replied coldly: "It's over? Who said it was over? At that time, if I hadn't bought He Shishou with a lot of money, I'm afraid I would have died by you. ”

Lu Hualin kowtowed desperately on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Xingguo Bo Rao's cheap life of the lower officials, the merit is immeasurable!" ”

Li Zhi's face changed, and he said fiercely: "Lu Hualin, the old account between me and you has not been settled, and there is a new enmity." This time I was collecting taxes in Tianjin, and you actually had the audacity to organize scholars to bewitch the peasants. What is the rumor that 'since the gentry are all taxed, the powerless people will soon have to raise taxes', was released by you Lu Hualin? ”

Lu Hualin knelt on the ground, trembling and speechless.

"If you don't kill your family, you don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and you are determined to oppose me."

Li Zhi said to Zheng Kaicheng: "Take down Lu Hualin and Lu Huarong, both of them will punish the three clans, don't run away!" ”

Zheng Kaicheng agreed, and with a wave of his hand, he asked the soldiers to drag Lu Hualin, who was like ashes, and Lu Huarong, who was trembling, down.

Li Zhi turned around, looked at Li Jizhen, who was pale, and said, "The governor wants to commit suicide?" ”
