Chapter 207: The East Wind Is Coming

Steward Wang's shouts and Zhao Gou's expression made Liu Qi, Yang Yizhong, and Wu Lu look at each other, and the second monk was confused, unable to figure out the status of the matter. The three of them saw the mysterious smile on Zhao Gou's face, and they had a look of winning the game, so they were silent and waited quietly.

"Young master, my subordinates are back!" Gong Cang strode forward and bowed.

Zhao Gou looked at Gong Cang's pale face, his eyes were bloodshot, his clothes were full of dust, and he guessed that Gong Cang was galloping all the way, and he didn't stop at all, didn't directly inquire about the result of the matter, but praised: "Gong Cang, these days have been hard!" ”

Gong Cang was slightly stunned and said, "Young Master, this is the information you want!" ”

Zhao Gou took the information submitted by Gong Cang, read it carefully, and then put it away again, muttering to himself: "It seems that the effect is still there, the east wind is coming!" ……”

"Young Master, as the newspaper said, everything went according to your expectations. All this information was collected by them, and there were also impeachment notes from local officials, but they were kept suppressed and could not be sent to the capital. ”

"Maybe those people didn't take such things to heart, and thought that they had lost them, and they didn't care at all. When they got it back, it was effortless. All of this is done according to your instructions, I wonder if there is anything missing? ”

Zhao Gou shook his head and said, "This time it was done well, just take this opportunity to let them see my strength." You're tired, so go down and rest! ”

Gong Cang nodded, then turned around and went down. He didn't stop for a moment along the way, for fear of delaying the trip, so he hurried day and night, and finally arrived in the capital, and returned directly to the county king's mansion, and he didn't eat anything, he was tired and hungry, so he had to go back to rest.

Liu Qi was curious: "King Jun, what is this?" ”

"Dongfeng!" Zhao Gou said with a smile.

"Dongfeng?" Liu Qi and the other three looked at each other and looked at Zhao Gou in surprise.

Zhao Gou said: "This is the east wind, an east wind that can allow us to truly stand on the court." This is what I've been waiting for for the past two months, and now that this east wind is coming, let's take action! With this gust of east wind, I can let them see my methods, so that they will have the opportunity to compete with the eldest brother, and my father must be impatient to wait. ”

Liu Qi and the others still didn't understand what Zhao Gou was referring to, the only thing that could be sure was that Zhao Gou, who had not taken the slightest action for two months, was really going to start acting this time. As for the results, they will know when they think about it.

"The three of you go back first, and you'll know after tomorrow!" Zhao Gou said calmly.

Liu Qi, Yang Yizhong, and Wu Lan also said goodbye and left, and their faces were much better than when they left. was anxious before, but now he is calm and confident, and his trust in Zhao Gou exceeds all.

Zhao Gou recalled the information in his hand, which was not so much intelligence as a piece of evidence to prove Zhu Mian's crime of perverting the law for bribes. If it weren't for Zhao Gou who learned from later generations that Zhu Mian was a traitorous minister, and did everything possible to take advantage of it, I am afraid that there would be nothing to be done.

Zhu Mian presented the giant Taihu Lake stone, and Song Huizong resumed the Yingfeng Bureau, and also put him in charge of government affairs. At that time, Zhao Gou thought of a plan to make Zhu Mian unrecoverable. Moreover, this strategy is exactly the stepping stone that requires Zhu Mian's death to complete his own entry into the court.

As Zhao Gou expected, Zhu Mian was in charge of the Yingfeng Bureau, and he wantonly looted the people's fat and ointment, and used his power for personal gain, and his ambitions became bigger and bigger, not only making the local people angry, but even the local officials couldn't stand it, but he covered the sky in the southeast region with one hand, and all these pieces were intercepted by him, and those people were put in prison on trumped-up charges.

Zhao Gou knew that Zhu Mian was insatiable, although he had real talent and learning, he did not do his job, he was bent on stealing and plundering, living a luxurious life, regardless of the life and death of the people, and even more vain about the safety of the Great Song Dynasty. With such a person, how could Zhao Gou allow him to continue to do mischief.

has not moved, Zhao Gou is waiting for this opportunity, as long as the evidence is collected, I am afraid that at that time, Zhu Mian will not be able to argue, if he does not make a move, he will be a blockbuster, so that he will never turn over. If you give him a chance, I'm afraid I won't regret it.

Zhu Mian also lived up to Zhao Gou's "trust", and was stunned to show off his might in Suzhou, snatch by skill, and use his privileges to plunder openly, and Zhu Mian became a big bureaucrat and big landlord with private arms, with a total of 10 granges, 300,000 mu of fertile land, and more than 100,000 stone of rent per year.

The food utensils at home are close to the kings and grandsons and nobles, and they are all over it. Zhu Mian searched for the same paradise created by the people in Suzhou, which is said to be the largest garden and the strange lake and stone, which can be called the first in the south of the Yangtze River. Moreover, Zhu Mian used his official position to form a party for personal gain, became a famous family in Suzhou, and also had thousands of guards, and even the assassins and county guards in the southeast were from his disciples.

Zhao Gou saw these facts recorded in the intelligence, he smiled, Zhu Mian did not open the palace and the three divisions, but he had thousands of guards, held a certain amount of power, and colluded with the local assassin history and county guards, embezzled and took huge bribes, and lived a luxurious life close to the royal family, Zhu Mian's various behaviors, without exception, were all capital crimes.

If according to the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhu Mian would also be punished by a thousand knives, and no one could protect him, even the crown prince Zhao Huan, Gao Taiwei and others did not dare to come forward to defend it. In just two months, he is so insatiable, if it continues for a long time, you can imagine what will become of the Jiangnan area.

This is the real east wind, only by taking this opportunity, Zhao Gou really entered the imperial court, and what Zhao Gou wanted was not to stay in Beijing to serve, but to go to all parts of the Great Song Dynasty, to investigate and secretly visit, to find out whether the officials of the Great Song Dynasty were corrupt and bent the law, knowing the law and breaking the law.

Although he knew that the Great Song Dynasty was like this, Zhao Gou still wanted to try. It's just that his idea will be supported by Song Huizong? Zhao Gou himself didn't know, according to his father's idea, he was to let him stay in the capital to serve, but he didn't give him any position for a long time.

Zhao Gou knew that his father was waiting, and as long as he launched a counterattack and caught them off guard, he would have a chance. Song Huizong has been standing by for the past two months, waiting for Zhao Gou's actions, and also wants to test his ability.

Two months have passed, Zhu Mian flaunted his martial arts, abused his power for personal gain, and regarded the southeast as his territory, just like the current emperor, the power of life and death does not have to go to the court, he can handle it himself, how many people have died in vain, and how many families and wives have been separated.

Thinking of this, Zhao Gou's eyes became cold, and he sneered: "This time, I want to see how you turn over?" The last time was just a coincidence, this time the evidence is conclusive, no matter how clever you are, it is difficult to discern! But that's just the beginning! ……”
