Chapter 048:-for-tat

"Okay!"

As soon as he heard Wu Yan's order, Yao Kuan was overjoyed! He jumped off his horse in an instant, and then ran towards the butler Yang Yong.

"Wait for me, kill these two sluts! With King Liang behind him, don't be afraid! Then Yang Yong saw that Yao Kuan actually came up to attack and was furious.

As soon as the words fell, the miscellaneous servants under him waved their five-foot wooden sticks and came up to beat Yao Kuan.

In this era of cold weapons, fighting depends on momentum and bravery! I saw Yao Kuan waving the twenty-five pound hammer (18 Tang catties) in his hand, one hammer at a time, and beat four servants on the spot to wail on the ground. The rest of the people were a little hesitant and didn't dare to step forward.

Of course, he didn't fight to the death, and these people will recover after two or three months. Otherwise, these people would have seen Hades a long time ago.

Wu Yan looked at it, this Yao Kuan was really brave and invincible, just his twenty-five-pound hammer, I am afraid that few people in the world dare to use it! Ordinary people's weapons, more than ten catties are considered very heavy, because the heaviest weapon in the Tang Dynasty, the Mo knife, is only 15 Tang catties, that is, 20.4 catties.

Yao Kuan has not yet completed the task assigned by Wu Yan, so he naturally will not give up.

I saw him rush forward, and while the servants were still in shock, he grabbed the placket of Yang Yong's chest with his left hand, and then smashed it on his left thigh with a hammer!

In an instant, Yang Yong began to howl like a pig, terrified!

He knew his leg was finished!

"Yao Kuan, go and take your niece away!" Wu Yanzhi then took out some sticks from his arms and threw them on the ground, facing the group of humans:

"These are enough to pay the rent that his family owes you, if you dare to come to the door to make trouble again! I, Wu Yanzhi, let you be strewn on the streets one by one! ”

Wu Yanzhi? When the group heard his name, they were first shocked and a little incredulous, and then some people knelt down and kowtowed and begged for mercy......

……

On the second day, the morning pilgrimage.

That Chu Ke's position is from the fourth rank of Si Nong Shaoqing, which is the same as Zheng Wenlang's position, higher rank than Wu Yanzhi, ranking ahead of Wu Yan, naturally speaking before Wu Yanzhi!

So he did everything he could to slander and said, "Your Majesty! Wu Yanzhi didn't think about his relatives, he was gullible and helped the tenant farmer who owed rent, personally led the evil slaves, and seriously injured more than ten of his nephew's slaves on the street...... Please call the shots for Your Majesty! ”

He added fuel and vinegar and wantonly slandered Wu Yanzhi! When it came to emotion, he actually pretended to cry.

When Wu Zetian heard it, Zong Chuke was his favorite minister! Why doesn't this martial artist think about love at all?

She was a little displeased, so she used her eyes to find Wu Yanzhi from the crowd and said, "Yanzhi, what's going on?" How can you, a five-pinned man, lead the crowd to beat people on the street for a tenant? ”。

Wu Yanzhi saw it, and immediately went out to play: "Your Majesty! Most of Zong Shaoqing's words are true, and yesterday evening, the minister did work with Yao Kuan to injure his family's five evil slaves on the street.

The minister regrets it now, why didn't he kill a few of his evil slaves last night! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was very shocked! This Chu Ke is a red man in the eyes of the saints, this person was born in Jinshi, and he is also a royal prince.

Although he was corrupt and bribed, and his character was poor, it is said that the emperor still intended to make him prime minister.

Hearing Wu Yanzhi's momentum, Wu Zetian frowned and asked, "Oh? Tell us the truth! ”

"Yes! Your Majesty! Zong Shaoqing, in order to be greedy for small profits, illegally set the rent per mu of his Yongye field at one stone! Last year, there was a drought and the fields were not harvested! Where can tenants afford such taxes?

Zong Shaoqing ignored the imperial court's decree to reduce rent, and still forced tenants to pay rent according to the fixed amount. That Yao Cheng couldn't pay the rent grain, he coveted the beauty of Yao Cheng's daughter, so he wrote a fake document for selling women, which was pressed by more than a dozen people, and forcibly made Yao Cheng press his handprint.

Finally, he sent someone to forcibly take his daughter away from his uncle Yao Kuan's house, Your Majesty! That Yao Kuan was a subordinate of the copper and iron envoy, but he was abused by Zong Shaoqing's house slave in every way, completely ignoring that he was a special envoy and not listening to the good words and persuasion of the minister.

Therefore, the minister accompanied Yao Kuan to teach a few of his evil slaves a lesson, and now that he thinks about it, he really should have killed a few! ”

Wu Yanzhi had already figured out how to deal with it, and after he finished speaking, everyone in the court kept shaking their heads, this Zong Chuke really did not change his nature, he was greedy for money and lust.

That Zong Chu turned red politely, and defended: "Your Majesty! Although there was a slight drought last year, the minister's Yongye field was close to Yishui, which did not have much impact.

As for the slightly higher rent per mu, this is also according to other people's rules! Besides, Yao Cheng's sale of women, this matter was purely voluntary, and the contract with white paper, black letters, and red handprints was here.

Yao Cheng wants to repent, that is his misconduct! It's capricious! The minister implores His Majesty to investigate in detail and make the decision for the minister! ”

At this time, Wu Sansi saw that it was wrong, and he had to help his own people, so he said, "Your Majesty! The two of them insist on their own words, it is indeed difficult to distinguish the true from the false, and Wei Chen expected that Zong Shaoqing would not snatch the people's daughter for no reason, there should be a reason.

Wu Langzhong led dozens of slaves to the street to take the initiative to provoke, and it should not be, but since this matter involves high-ranking officials of the imperial court, it is better to deal with it privately, and it is not appropriate to make a big fuss! ”

Wu Yanyi listened, you will be a good person, I heard that the woman was robbed and given to you, of course you speak for him. So he said:

"Your Majesty, where did the minister dare to take dozens of people to the street against the order? The minister didn't bring anyone with him, and the one who shot was Yao Kuan, Yao Cheng's younger brother! The minister is just accompanying him to see! Your Majesty will also investigate it in detail! ”。

When Wu Zetian heard this, Wu Yan didn't bring one of them, but Yao Kuan repelled a number of evil slaves, which was very unexpected.

I thought to myself, this Wu Yanzhi can recognize and employ people, and he is very courageous, and he is even happier in his heart.

However, this Chuke is also his favorite minister, and these two people have their own opinions, which is not easy to deal with. After thinking about it, he said:

"Since Yan Zhi didn't bring anyone to the street, he handled it properly, which is good.

Thinking about it, even if Yao Cheng's contract for selling women was forced, Chu Ke may not know about it, and it must be a few evil slaves who made their own claims.

Chu Ke, you have to teach those evil minions a good lesson when you go back, I think this matter will be over! How about you two take a look? ”

Wu Yanzhi shook his head, and all the charges were covered up with the sentence "Chu Ke may not know".

However, justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, so he had no choice but to say: "The minister obeys the order!" The money that Yao Cheng owes, Yao Kuan has already paid it off for him, Your Majesty Shengming, it's best to stop this matter! ”

Zong Chuke also said: "The minister obeys the order!" The minister will go back in the afternoon to investigate in detail to see if a few evil slaves are making their own claims! ”

After that, his face was full of unhappiness, and he stared at Wu Yanzhi coldly.

Wu Yanzhi saw it in his eyes and pretended not to see it, but some officials who were good with him were worried about him:

"This Zong Chu Ke has a very good relationship with Wu Sansi, and now it is not clear who will be the prince, this Wu Sansi is the most promising opportunity for the Wu family, plus Zong Chu Ke has signs of worshipping the prime minister, Wu Yanzhi is afraid that he will cause trouble!"

After the dispersal of the court, a few Lang Zhong who were standing next to each other came over to say hello and encouragement, and Liu Langzhong said: "That Zong Chu Ke bullies people on weekdays, and I have been waiting for a long time!" Or Wu Lang had the courage to suppress his arrogance! ”

"Don't be afraid of such shameless people, talented and virtuous people. If you have something to do with him, you can second! Wu Yanzhi sneered.

Then Liu Langzhong said: "I don't dare to wait, he is relying on King Liang!" I heard that His Majesty is also thinking about King Liang becoming the emperor's heir, so how dare I make a mistake? ”

"He's the heir?" Wu Yanzhi shook his head and didn't speak!

"What? Takero has inside information? Is there no hope for King Liang? Another Lang Zhong asked.

The rest of the people all opened their eyes wide, trying to find out some news from Wu Yanzhi's mouth of this martial artist!

Wu Yanzhi smiled slightly: "I don't have any news, I haven't said anything, let's go, it's time to eat under the corridor......"
