A large number of officials gathered in Hangzhou, including the transfer envoys and deputy envoys of the two Zhejiang roads, the mentioning of criminal and prison affairs, the promotion of Chang Ping, and the promotion of the city and the prefect of the county, with a total of more than 50 people.

Everyone is trembling, waiting for the arrival of the prince, some people are afraid, and some people feel that it has nothing to do with them, just a good show, just watch, is the family able to win Wang Ning'an, or can Wang Ningan suppress the family...... Privately, there are also bets to see how this big war will be started.

It's just that no one could have thought that someone would set fire to the granary, and what they didn't expect was that they should have arrived three days later, but Wang Ningan actually descended from the sky and appeared in the fire, isn't this fatal!

Officials, large and small, hurried, ran to the fire, searched everywhere, there was no prince anywhere, they thought they were released pigeons!

With the guidance of the guards, they noticed that there was a group of palace guards who were carrying water to put out the fire, and in the middle, there was a very tall figure.

"It's the prince!"

Someone had seen Wang Ning'an, and he exclaimed at this moment.

The rest of the people are blinded, God, the prince has personally put out the fire, what are we still doing in a daze!

They didn't even take off their official uniforms, they rushed up directly, carrying water to put out the fire, and some people tripped because their official uniforms were too old, making them muddy and embarrassed.

It was busy until dawn, and the fire was finally extinguished, and after counting, about 300,000 stone was lost, and 1.7 million stone was saved.

Wang Ningan beckoned to his subordinates, "Go and gather the grain that is overburned and the grain that is soaked in water, and distribute it to the poor people in the city, at this time, not a grain of grain should be wasted." ”

"Subordinates obey."

After the order, Wang Ningan did not look at these officials, but walked under a tree, sat on the bluestone slab, and was silent.

The officials are dumbfounded, they are covered in mud and water, their hands and necks are swollen from exhaustion, and their waists are about to break, what should they do, say something?

Sun Changling, the deputy envoy of Liangzhejiang Road, relied on his courage and walked to Wang Ning'an's approach, bowed down and said: "The prince is coming to Hangzhou, the lowly officials are sincerely afraid, the prince has worked hard, go to the pavilion to rest first, and let the lowly rank take the wind and wash the dust for the prince." ”

After he finished speaking, he waited for Wang Ningan to nod.

Who knew that after a long time, Wang Ningan spoke, "Kneel!" ”

"Ahh

Sun Changling was stunned for a moment, Da Song didn't kneel down, let himself kneel, could it be that Wang Ningan found any evidence...... Sun Changling was very unconvinced, but his legs were still weak, and he knelt down.

"Kneel over there!"

Wang Ningan pointed with his finger, and Sun Changling noticed that not far away, there was a stretcher, covered with a white cloth, and it seemed that all of them were dead bodies.

Sun Changling didn't understand what it meant, and wondered: "Lord Wang, this, what does this mean?" ”

Wang Ningan still didn't pay attention to him, but pointed to the remaining officials, "You all come here, kneel!" ”

These officials looked at each other and were very embarrassed, but they didn't dare to resist, so they could only kneel down obediently. Wang Ningan finally stood up slowly and paced around the officials.

"Why did you kneel? The reason is very simple, these 50 people are the soldiers guarding the warehouse, they saw the thieves attacking, fought to the death, none of them retreated, all died to protect the food! ”

Wang Ningan lifted the white cloth on the first stretcher, revealing a pale and young face.

"I don't know what this brother's name is, but he looks like he is only in his twenties at most, he was slashed twice, his chest was pierced by three spears, and he died! He died to protect the grain and protect the life-saving food of the people of Hangzhou! ”

Wang Ningan rushed to the middle of the officials, like a lion that had gone mad, especially terrifying!

"A little soldier, you still know the importance of food, you are wearing court clothes, wearing black yarn, and holding the court's money, don't you feel half guilty?"

Wang Ningan continued to question, "From the time of the attack on the granary, there was only one hour, and these 50 brothers fought for more than half an hour with their lives. The king came to get rid of the thieves and save most of the food. This king is not showing off to you, but wants to ask you, where are you all at this hour? Why didn't anyone come to the rescue? Do you think that these 2 million stone grains are irrelevant? Do you think that the largest granary in the southeast can be attacked and set on fire by thieves? So much food, guarded by only 50 soldiers? And who transferred the original defenders? Where is the official in charge of standing positions? ”

Wang Ningan's words were so loud that many officials' sideburns were sweating, and they kept trembling and trembling!

"This king doesn't have the heart to check these now, but don't worry, he will never let go of a criminal minister! Whoever is involved in it will be severely punished by this king! Wang Ning paused, and said: "Now this king only wants to give you a task, that is, to go down immediately, check the regular liquidation of various places, if there is an accident in the warehouse and the loss of food, according to the loss of the city and land, all the nine clans will be exterminated!" ”

"Ahh

Many people shouted in a low voice, they were really afraid, Sun Changling couldn't help but plead: "Lord Wang, the good and bad positions in various places are uneven, it is the accumulation of disadvantages for many years, and the lowly rank is also helpless!" ”

"Hahaha, what a helpless!"

Wang Ningan sneered: "Since it's helpless, don't stay in the official position, take him down!" ”

With an order, the soldiers rushed up directly and went to Sun Changling's black gauze hat.

"Lord Wang, the lower officials are wronged, wronged!" Sun Changling pulled his neck and shouted, "I am an official of the imperial court, and I cannot be dismissed without a will!" King Xiliang, it's not in accordance with the rules for you to do this! ”

"Rules? If you follow the rules, will the fire in the granary happen? Wang Ningan angrily reprimanded: "As a local official, you are indifferent in the face of the granary fire, and you can't run away from the crime of dereliction of duty!" This king said that if the granary caught fire, it would be punished according to the loss of the city and land, and the officials who promoted the Chang Ping position were brought out, as well as the officials in charge of the river wharf, and they were arrested together, and they were immediately beheaded! ”

"Ahh

The rest of the officials were stupid, although it has become a thing of the past not to kill the doctor, but cutting off so many heads at once, especially Sun Changling's reputation is not bad, it's too much!

"Lord Wang, please think twice!"

Wang Ning'an said twice, "If you are impatient to live, you will die with them, if you still feel sorry for your head, I will shut your mouth, go back immediately, check the warehouse under your rule, and report the amount of grain in stock, if there is any truth, this king will never be soft." ”

The gang didn't dare to say anything, so they could only turn around and flee in embarrassment.

But I heard Wang Ningan's voice again, "If you want to fill the deficit, move money and grain from your own homes!" Dare to pass on the deficit to the people, and kill without mercy immediately! ”

What a powerful Xiliang King!

The faces of these officials are green, not only do they want to kill, but they also force the big guys to cut their flesh and vomit blood, you are too ruthless!

They had a theory, but the Dharma field over there was already ready, and more than a dozen officials lined up, their hands swords fell, their heads flew up, and blood splattered three feet.

The person who was kneeling with them just now became a corpse in the blink of an eye!

I can't say enough about this feeling!

Go to work, or your life will really be over!

Now, no one dares to doubt Wang Ningan's words, and they all go down honestly to arrange it...... Wang Ning's anger in peace of mind was not alleviated at all because he had cut more than a dozen officials. On the contrary, he was even more angry.

He expected that the Southeast family would fight back desperately, but the methods of these people became more and more excessive, and it had reached an outrageous point.

If they really let them burn the grain, it will undoubtedly make matters worse, and the people of Hangzhou will immediately face the danger of running out of food...... Aren't there any reverence when these people act?

Maybe they have been on the top for too long, and they are not afraid to take the people in their eyes at all!

Wang Ningan gritted his teeth, "Bring Tong Shan up!" ”

After a while, someone escorted Tong Shan up, this guy seemed to admit his fate, and honestly knelt on Wang Ning'an reluctantly, "The sinners are willing to die, please surrender the king!" ”

"Dead?"

Wang Ningan snorted, "Do you know, you burned 300,000 stone of grain just now...... If there is a disaster year, a common person only needs four or five taels of grain a day to survive, 300,000 stones, can save 300,000 people! Kill you? Cheap for you! ”

Tong Shan's head was buried in his chest, and he suddenly smiled bitterly, the sinners really couldn't imagine that the prince had a noble status, and he could still remember the people and understand the people's suffering, which was really different from those people...... If these people are in power in the Great Song Dynasty, they will really not be far from the death of the country. ”

Tong Shan raised his head, "The criminals are willing to confess and tell the prince everything." ”

……

"The government is on business, and idlers dodge."

"The government is on business, and idlers dodge."

The forbidden army and the guards, all the way to a courtyard on the edge of the West Lake, here is very exquisite, showing the beauty of the Jiangnan garden, but at this moment, it has been empty.

According to Tong Shan's confession, this is their hiding place and Liu Zhi's residence.

When they arrived here, everyone ran out, and the soldiers immediately checked, and they found traces of fire in the study, obviously someone tried to set fire to burn all the things inside, but because of the hurry, there were still a lot of letters and account books and other things that were left behind, many of which were related to Donglin Academy.

Tong Shan searched his stomach and tried to recall, and gradually a list of dozens of people was finally drawn up.

"The sents have donated to Donglin Academy three times in the past, giving a total of 150,000 yuan, and have also participated in many cultural meetings, and these people are all dignitaries and dignitaries that the sinners have seen at the cultural meetings...... It was Liu Zhi who instigated the criminals to rebel and help the criminals before, and behind him was Donglin Academy, and this arson was also asked by Liu Zhi to do it! ”

Wang Ningan looked at it and called the people around him over, "According to this list, arrest people immediately!" ”

"Yes!"

The whole Hangzhou has just experienced a fire, followed by a big raid, Wang Ningan is completely furious, he is not in any politeness, as long as it is related to Donglin Academy and the family in the southeast, no one will be let go, in just one day, the prison will be full......
