Chapter 257: The Divided Squires

When the squires heard that several people had impeached Wang Town, they were immediately in disarray.

These families include the Sun family in the north of the city, the Li family in charge of silk trading, and the Nangong family who sell salt, and the others are all small people, but their families are deeply rooted in Tanzhou City.

Everyone thought, are these people crazy, how can they join Xin Qiji's side, everyone knows Xin Qiji's prestige, so before Xin Qiji came, they discussed uniting as one to resist Xin Qiji.

Selling salt was a forbidden trade in ancient times.

However, the division of official salt in the Song Dynasty led to some remote areas, and it was very difficult to eat official salt, so there were many more salt-selling families in many places, and the wealth of these families was comparable to that of the government and the force was stronger.

The Nangong family in Tanzhou is such a family, what the squire of Tanzhou didn't expect was that this time the impeachment of Wang Zhen actually had people from the Nangong family, the Nangong family never supported Qing officials, they all supported ambitious people like Wang Zhen, who have been working hard for the government, the Nangong family felt that they were fools, how could a shrewd business family deal with fools.

If it is normal, the actions of the Nangong family are the direction of the wind, as long as his family does it, most of the squires will follow suit, even if it is very dangerous, the squires also believe that the Nangong family has a reason that they don't know.

But this time, the Nangong family did not follow suit, because this time, it was Nangong Thirteen who represented the Nangong family, and this Nangong Thirteen was the most powerless man in the Nangong family, and he was the heir of Nangong Master and the maid after he was drunk. The old man of Nangong has never seen this heir with his eyes, so the status of Nangong Thirteen is not even as good as that of Mr. Ledger.

This time, Nangong Thirteen came forward, which has made the squires have a lot of speculation, and as a result, this kind of thing has appeared again, and the actions of the Nangong family have made it even more impossible for the squires who like to follow the trend to guess.

……

Because of this, the squires rarely became three teams, one team impeached Wang Zhen, the other team still maintained their trust in Wang Zhen, and some remained neutral. They are in such a mess, it will be easy for Xin Qiji to deal with them.

Xin Qiji stroked his beard and looked at the squires arguing in the hall, some of them said about Wang Zhen's evil deeds, some people said about Wang Zhen's good deeds, and for a while, the court was in chaos, Xin Qiji didn't shoot the squire, just looked at it.

When Xin Qiji saw Wang Zhen dealing with Ma Chao, Xin Qiji knew that Ma Chao would fight back, and now it seems that Ma Chao's counterattack is coming. But things are not as simple as imagined, these people do not represent the family, and when they go back, maybe the family will turn around and deny it.

These are Ma Chao's ideas, but Xin Qiji feels that Ma Chao still doesn't know much about how a deep-rooted family affects a city.

After a while, Xin Qiji listened to what everyone said about the same, and if he continued, he was just repeating and emphasizing, so Xin Qiji slapped three shocking sounds, and there was no sound below, everyone was wondering if Xin Qiji would let Wang Zhen go to prison because of this.

But there are also some families who understand that Wang Zhen is a general sentence, and even if Xin Qiji is the governor's envoy, he cannot directly dismiss Wang Zhen, and can only impeach Wang Zhen to the imperial court after collecting the available information.

"Regarding the matter of the general judgment of Wang Zhen, it is still to be discussed, where are the people of Wang Zhen?"

As soon as Xin Qiji said this, Chen Xingcai replied with a smile: "Lord Wang Zhen has been outside for a long time. ”

When everyone saw Wang Zhen, they were all stunned, Wang Zhen was beaten like a pig's head. Everyone began to speculate in their hearts again, who could beat Wang Zhen like this and beat the officials of the imperial court? No, maybe it's Xin Qiji's torture to extract a confession.

A crack began to appear in the squire's heart. (To be continued.) )
