The sky was overcast, the overcast sky was filled with thunder, and the lightning that pierced the sky instantly lit up the night sky, and then disappeared in an instant. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Liu Chengfeng played with the paperweight in his hand, waiting for something, sitting next to him, it was Wang Tao, Wang Tao looked a little uneasy, but fortunately, Liu Chengfeng was very calm, which made him feel a little relieved.

There were a few oil lamps in the room, and the oil lamps flickered with the dim glow of the beans, and finally, the sound of hurried footsteps came.

This is the sound of boots stepping on the floor tiles, the sound is clear and rhythmic, and the surname of the person who came is very steady.

Liu Chengfeng put down the paperweight and raised his eyes.

Chen Hongyu, who came in, Chen Hongyu had excitement on his face, saluted Liu Chengfeng, and then said, "My lord, the matter is done." ”

"How?"

"There was a commotion in the whole courtyard, and it is said that many people were injured, and many people were also injured in the Jingjiang Palace."

"Enough!" Liu Chengfeng patted the case excitedly, others can say that he is unscrupulous, whether he is insidious and cunning, for Liu Chengfeng, all this is floating clouds, all he has to do is to use any effective method to attack his opponent, and enter the officialdom, Liu Chengfeng understands a truth, any struggle is your life and death, Jingjiang Wangfu will do everything to put him to death, why can't he take all means to make Jingjiang King down?

This trick was carefully arranged by Liu Chengfeng, the lack of money in the Jingjiang Palace, it is bound to ask the squires, and the squires are holding their breath in their stomachs, and they will naturally burst out of dissatisfaction, at this time, Liu Chengfeng lowered the tax rate, which is equivalent to adding oil to the fire, the most critical thing here is the decision time of the Jingjiang Palace, the King of Jingjiang did not come to this Lianzhou, which means that the subordinates of the Jingjiang Palace, do not dare to be the masters of exempting the squires from paying taxes or even returning the fields, and those who can call the shots are hundreds of miles away. The whole point of time, it was the time for Liu Chengfeng to play, and Mr. Wu was instigated by him, and the neutrality and restraint shown by the government also increased the courage of the squires, and what the whole thing lacked in the end was nothing more than a fuse, Liu Chengfeng made people light a fire in the dark, and then the powder keg exploded.

What was a squire to the imperial court? The squire is the cornerstone of the rule of the imperial court, all dynasties, only heard of the homeless people making trouble, has not heard of the squire messing around, after the incident, the palace is bound to be angry, Jingjiang palace is finished...... Liu Chengfeng was silent for a moment, and then said: "This matter, let's not come forward again, let the squires come forward, these people have made a big fuss about the palace and the palace, and they will definitely be afraid in their hearts, if the court investigates, either the Jingjiang palace will fall or they will be finished, tell them that if they want to live, they have to come up with something, let these squires give the king of Jingjiang the final blow." ”

Chen Hongyu was stunned for a moment and asked, "What to take out?" ”

Liu Chengfeng smiled and said, "Blood book!" ”

Outside the window, a thunderclap sounded, and the electric light illuminated the entire night sky, through the paper window, when Liu Chengfeng shouted these two words, the whole face was illuminated.

Chen Hongyu understood that Hou Ye wanted to put the Jingjiang Mansion to death, so that they would never be reborn.

"Humble understood."

Chen Hongyu saluted and walked out quickly, the wind outside was very strong, but his heart was in turmoil, tonight, he really saw Liu Chengfeng's means, in this Lianzhou Mansion, a real lord will be born, and his momentum will be above any vassal king in Guangxi.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………… The news reached Guilin.

In the yamen of the governor of Guangxi Province, Chen Yao, the right deputy of the Governor of Guangxi, is obviously not very calm.

Early in the morning, someone came to the Jingjiang Palace, asking Chen Yao to meet him no matter what, but Chen Yao asked someone to block the car and closed the door.

But then, King Jingjiang personally came to pay respects, Chen Yao's face was already very ugly, and after a long time, he decided to see him, after all, he was a vassal king, and he had to give some face.

King Jingjiang's face is obviously not good, yesterday, he received a letter from Mr. Zhao, the content of the letter is very simple, that is, to inform the situation in Lianzhou, suggesting that King Jingjiang temporarily delay the time to ask the squire for money, this matter can only be discussed in the long run, it can be said that Mr. Zhao is not stupid, he has already felt that there must be someone behind these squires to support him, if the Jingjiang palace refuses to let go, there will definitely be a big incident.

King Jingjiang also had a premonition of the seriousness of the problem when he saw this letter, but he still hesitated for a moment before replying to Mr. Zhao and telling him to act cheaply, which was equivalent to giving Mr. Zhao autonomy and letting Mr. Zhao make decisions at any time according to the situation.

King Jingjiang's approach was obviously not at fault.

The mistake is that it was too late in time, the reply of the king of Jingjiang had just been sent, and another shocking news came, something happened in Lianzhou, something big happened, and the squires surrounded the courtyard of the Jingjiang Palace, snatched the title deed, and injured many people.

King Jingjiang immediately understood that the palace was coming to an end, and any vassal king or official provoked public anger, whether it was in previous dynasties, was often the first to clean up the nobles and officials in order to calm down the people's grievances.

Hearing this news, King Jingjiang almost even began to tremble in his legs, he has been pampered all his life, and he is used to being powerful and blessed, where can he have any ideas, and hurriedly invited a few staff members to discuss, and finally everyone agreed that they had to find the governor first, after all, this governor is the number one leader in the affairs of the governor of Guangxi, as long as he is willing to play the beautiful words, there is still room for maneuver.

At the beginning, the king of Jingjiang also wanted to set up a score and ask him to invite the governor Chen Yao to come to the palace, but who knew that Chen Yao would not even see the people in the Jingjiang Palace, and his attitude was very clear, this was to tell the king of Jingjiang that Chen Yao was not a fool, and he was unwilling to get involved in this matter.

In desperation, Zhu Youlin, the king of Jingjiang, had no choice but to come to the door in person to pay respects, and then entered the flower hall of the back office, here, Chen Yao did not get up to greet him, but just had a cold face and shouted: "The prince is well." ”

Zhu Youlin's face was very bad, he never imagined that things would come to this point, he thought that he was just a marquis, and he could handle it as he wanted, but now he is passive everywhere, so that when it comes to the life and death of the palace, Zhu Youlin has to run around, no matter what, he has to minimize this crime.

Zhu Youlin didn't care about Chen Yao's neglect, and then greeted Chen Yao, both of them were in Guilin, but they didn't have much friendship, and it was rare to see each other a few times a year, and the attitude of local officials towards the vassal king had always been respectful, and the vassal king was a little taboo in dealing with local officials, so the two sides did not have any friendship.

After saying a few words, Zhu Youlin was already a little anxious, and said straight to the point: "Lord Chen, the matter of Lianzhou ......"

Chen Yao's face immediately became indifferent, and he interrupted him: "Lianzhou, what's the matter in Lianzhou?" Lord Wang, the official governor of Guangxi, but this Lianzhou is Liu Chengfeng's fiefdom, even if something happens, it is also the matter of the Yamen of the prefect of Lianzhou. By the way, isn't there a river embankment to be built in the prince's fief? This matter has been approved by the cabinet, but the money and food of the household department have not yet arrived, and the officials should not come forward to urge this matter, it is best for the prince to urge it through the Zongling Mansion. ”

Zhu Youlin's face changed, but then he was relieved, and said with a smile: "Thank you Lord Chen for reminding me, but in the past few years, Guangxi has not been peaceful, Lord Chen has been patrolling Guangxi, and there are some things that still need to be asked, such as in Lianzhou, it is said that some people instigated the gentry to make trouble, this is not a trivial matter, Lord Chen must cheer up." ”

Chen Yao smiled, and then said, "Really? The prince's words are a bit excessive, what is a gentry? It's the cornerstone of my Daming, and they won't make trouble. ”

Zhu Youlin's face became worse, and Chen Yao's every move showed an attitude, he would not interfere in this matter, and even if he interfered, he would never favor Zhu Youlin's side.

In fact, Chen Yao is not a fool, how dare he go with the King of Jingjiang for this kind of thing, you must know that it is not the homeless people who are making trouble now, it is the squire, and the Jingjiang Palace's current offense is not only some landlords, but the entire squire's class, and the interests of the civil officials are the same as the interests of the squire, if he dares to reprimand these people for causing trouble, not to mention anything else, he will say that those colleagues in the capital will drown him if they spit on a mouthful.

Zhu Youlin obviously didn't realize the seriousness of the problem, but Chen Yao knew that he glanced at Zhu Youlin and didn't feel any regret in his heart.

Chen Yao deliberately led the topic elsewhere, and when Zhu Youlin saw Chen Yao's resolute attitude, he lost interest in talking, chatted a few words, and hurriedly left.

Chen Yao naturally sent him out, and when he returned to the flower hall, he had already made up his mind, originally he didn't want to express his position, but now looking at Zhu Youlin's stupidity, he knew that this was also an opportunity for him, he already knew in his heart that the Jingjiang Palace was about to completely decline, if he didn't express his position, he would inevitably be criticized, since this was the case, then the surname Suo stepped on the corpse of this Jingjiang Palace.

Chen Yao smiled, and then asked someone to get a pen and paper, but he was not in a hurry to write a note first, but wrote a letter and asked people to send it to Lianzhou Mansion, the person who received the letter was naturally Liu Chengfeng, and the content was very simple, just to ask the squires if there were any casualties, to express concern, of course, it was inevitable to put on a businesslike appearance, and let Liu Chengfeng do his best to treat the injured.

It is obviously in the format of an official document, but it is transmitted in the form of a family letter, which is a signal to Liu Chengfeng, telling Liu Chengfeng that he is on the side of Liu Chengfeng and the squires, and everyone is their own people.

Immediately afterwards, a note was drafted, Chen Yao finished writing it, checked it, and immediately asked people to hurry up and send it to Beijing.
