In just a few days, there were more than a dozen cases of gentry being attacked and killed in Laizhou. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 This is the first time such a major incident has occurred since the Kong Youde Rebellion. Seeing this, the county magistrates in various places were also greatly frightened, and hurriedly dispatched all three classes of officials to investigate clues and arrest the murderer. At the same time, in order to prevent similar things from happening again, most of the prefectural orders chose to ask for help from the local health center.

Although the soldiers of the guard are very scumy in battle, they are good at dealing with the people who have just put down their hoes. With the cooperation of the landlords and powerful family slaves, this wave of revenge from the people at the bottom was quickly suppressed. The civilians who were instigated by the MI also suffered heavy casualties, and even their villages were implicated as the targets of the gentry and the government's anger.

Such a result is obviously not what Zhao Bo wants to see. When this plan failed, Zhao Bo had another plan, and simply sent the good hands of the Military Intelligence Department to the scene directly, disguised as ordinary people to attack the gentry. At the same time, he also sent people to bribe people with heavy money to bribe the heroes of the green forests of Laizhou and the bandits and rob the caravan supported by the gentry, intending to muddy the water.

Of course, Zhao Bo did not give up the powerful power of the oppressed people. Since it is impossible to deal with the gentry under heavy protection. Zhao Bo simply shifted the target and aimed the finger at those evil slaves of the landlord's family or the bullying dogs. These people are not as powerful as the gentry, and in the face of the revenge of the people, once they are targeted, they can only wait for death or flee to the lord's house in embarrassment to seek refuge.

Due to their own limited strength, although the angry people could not break through the landlord's compound and kill him, some scaring methods could still be used. For example, throwing a big firework in the middle of the night, throwing a gunpowder bag at the wall, secretly throwing feces at the gate, and other disgusting methods emerged one after another, and although the landlords and powerful people hiding at home were not in danger of their lives, they were still in a panic all day long.

In the face of such a bad act, the gentry naturally did not sit idly by, waiting for those "mud legs" to take away their noble lives. So led by several powerful families, these landlords and gentry quickly formed an alliance and joined forces to put pressure on Qian Yuan, the prefect of Laizhou. Ask Qian Yuan to deal with this matter as soon as possible and give everyone an explanation.

Faced with the pressure of the gentry and the increasingly uncontrollable situation in Laizhou, Qian Yuan had no choice but to ask his boss Zhu Dadian, the governor of Shandong, for help.

Zhu Dadian was furious immediately after receiving Qian Yuan's letter asking for help, and immediately ordered his troops and horses to set off to Laizhou to quell the rebellion. But before Zhu Dadian could leave, he was stopped by two staff members who came to interrogate.

As the governor of a province, Zhu Dadian certainly has his own imperial think tank to advise him. And the two people who stopped Zhu Dadian were Chang Dao and Zhang Xiang, whom Zhu Dadian had always trusted.

"Dong Weng must not act rashly, the matter of Laizhou is not as simple as it seems. Dong Weng, think about it, there are not a few things that those inferior gentry bully the people, why do the people hold back at other times, but they do it together at this juncture? Dong Weng, according to the student's opinion, I am afraid that someone is behind the scenes! Chang Dao hurriedly stopped Zhu Dadian and admonished

Zhu Dadian is not a fool, just now he was just concerned about the chaos, hearing Chang Dao's analysis, Zhu Dadian's anger suddenly dissipated a lot, and asked in a condensed voice: "Mr. Chang, who does he think is operating this matter behind the scenes?" ”

Zhang Xiang was shocked when he saw this, and immediately covered his mouth that wanted to be Changdao, and casually pulled Zhu Dadian and ran towards the mansion, "Dong Weng, brother Jin, this is not the place to talk, let's go in and talk, go in and talk!" ”

After coming to the study, Zhu Dadian patted Zhang Xiang's big hand dissatisfiedly and said, "Mr. Zhang, why is he so nervous, this is the official's mansion, and he is still afraid of being heard by others?" ”

Zhang Xiang whispered, "Dong Weng, it's not that the students are too cautious, but this matter is really important, if I and Brother Jin are not wrong, I'm afraid the matter in Laizhou will be inseparable from Liu Fan!" ”

"Liu Fan!?" Zhu Dadian was furious and said, "Vertical son, dare to do this!" This official will take people to Jiaozhou, and I want to ask Liu Jimin in person what kind of heart he has! Who gave him such courage to meddle in local government affairs? ”

"Be quiet, be quiet!" Chang Dao and the two saw that Zhu Dadian was angry again, and hurriedly persuaded, "Dong Weng, please be calm and don't be impatient, and let the students explain to you slowly." Dong Weng, you also know that we are just guessing now, and there is no tangible evidence to prove that it was really Liu Fan's doing. Taking a step back, even if we have ironclad evidence in our hands, I'm afraid we can't help Liu Fan. Now that you are mobilizing the people to ask for the guilt, not only can you not stop Liu Fan, but I am afraid that you will also evil Liu Fan for nothing. The gains outweigh the losses! ”

Zhu Dadian said disdainfully when he heard this, "This official, the right attendant of the second-grade military department and the governor of Shandong, will he still be afraid of him, Liu Fan, a little martial artist?" Two gentlemen, don't persuade me anymore, this official must fight for my Shandong father and that Liu Fan this time, and see who is more powerful! ”

Zhang Chang and the two glanced at each other, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, and the two of them were also extremely helpless about Zhu Dadian's twisting. But as Zhu Dadian's staff and friends, the two of them still have the responsibility to help Zhu Dadian at this time. The relationship between Chang Dao and Zhu Dadian is better, and at this time, he can only stubbornly persuade again, "Dong Weng, it's not that the student is the leader of the other people, and he will destroy his prestige, this time I am afraid that you really can't fight that Liu Fan." Let's not talk about how Liu Fan was favored by His Majesty, but the tens of thousands of troops under his command are not something we can deal with. The strength of the Broken Captivity Army is full of 30,000 people, and this year Liu Fan swept through the Central Plains with a force of less than 10,000 people, wiped out the thieves, and captured Gao Yingxiang alive, which shows the strength of its combat power. If we persecute too much and force Liu Fan to rebel, it will not be just Laizhou that will suffer. The Ming Dynasty is now suffering from internal and external troubles, where is there still the strength to exterminate such a powerful force as the Broken Army! Ask yourself, Dong Weng, are you sure that you can resist the advance of the 30,000-strong army of the Broken Army? Once it can't be resisted, I'm afraid that the entire Shandong and even the entire north of the Ming Dynasty will be affected! Once this is really the case, no matter what the reason, do you think the imperial court will let you go? Besides, Liu Fan now pays two million taels of silver to the treasury every year, which is equivalent to half of the tax burden of the Ming Dynasty. Liu Fan is a sharp sword in the hands of His Majesty, and His Majesty will not hesitate to support him in Shandong Province, just to use it to sweep away the injustice and realize the Zhongxing of the Ming Dynasty. If you sabotage Your Majesty's plan, you will be wiped out! Dong Weng, think twice! (To be continued.) )
