Liu Jian took the newspaper and read it, and his face suddenly changed color.

Today's Xueer Newspaper is very different from the past, and the special edition is titled 'The Appearance of Officialdom'.

The first article on the front page is a story.

Zhu Zan, the right attendant of the household department, and others instigated their children to do business in Yingchunfang, buy and sell, and earn a huge family business. After the establishment of Jubaolou, the interests of Zhu Zan and others were damaged, so they attacked Xiao Jing, so as to guide the Qing Dynasty to denounce Empress Zhang and the Zhang brothers, and used the old Liu Chengfeng to recruit private soldiers to attack Liu Chengfeng.

Here, Liu Chengfeng explained the recruitment of private soldiers for the raid.

Most of the guards in the Beijing division of Jinyi Wei are based on neighborhoods, roughly four or five streets, with 100 households, and the personnel of a 100 households are roughly between 50 and 100 people.

The reason is very simple, some neighborhoods have a population of only a few thousand, but they have set up hundreds of households.

However, streets such as Fireworks Hutong and Yingchun Fang have a population of tens of thousands or even more than 100,000, not to mention the tens of thousands of merchants, coolies, and rich and noble sons every day.

The same is a hundred households, the jurisdiction of the jurisdiction may be similar, but the difficulty of management is different, fireworks alley hundred households have their own specialities, and the relationship is not small, if it is because of too few people and chaos, this account is on whose head?

It is the state and county set up by the imperial court, and there are also upper counties, middle counties, and lower counties, and why can't the pro-army be divided into three, six, nine, and so on.

In addition, the newspaper also vigorously attacked Yin Tang Shao, the governor of Shuntianfu, who was instructed by Zhu Zan to wantonly confiscate Shangjia's goods.

Liu Jian raised his head strangely, took a deep breath and said, "This Liu Chengfeng finally has a move." It's just that learning and reporting was originally just to discuss articles and tell some stories, but now it is attacking the ministers of the imperial court, which is inevitably too presumptuous. ”

Li Dongyang took the newspaper and read it, and then said with a wry smile: "Presumptuous is presumptuous, but the old man heard that Xueerbao also has shares in His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

The two glanced at each other, and immediately understood the key to this, Xueerbao is not Liu Chengfeng alone, this matter is known to the world, and now Xueerbao suddenly published an article to Zhu Zan and others, then it must have obtained the approval of His Royal Highness the Prince, and even, this matter may also involve the palace.

Liu Jian is still thinking about whether to let the cabinet make a statement, and now it seems that the situation is more complicated.

Liu Jian was thinking about what to deal with, and another scribe came in in a panic and said, "Bachelor Liu, Liu Xuebu...... The big thing is not good, Shuntianfu is surrounded by people......"

"Surrounded ......" Liu Jian chuckled in his heart, he had a premonition that Liu Chengfeng was going to fight back, it was not just as simple as publishing an article in the Xueer newspaper, but he never thought that the next move would be so fast, which caught people off guard.

"What's going on?"

"Early this morning, there were merchants in Shuntian Mansion who beat drums and voiced grievances, accusing the business house of the Zhu family, the servant of the household department, who had embezzled their property, and Lord Yin Tang Shao Tang of Shuntian Mansion sent them back in the name of no evidence, who knew that more and more merchants came, and Shuntian Mansion saw this, and they did not act as agents, and these merchants gathered outside the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion to shout grievances, the number of people was hundreds, and the entire Shuntian Mansion was in chaos."

Liu Jian took a deep breath and couldn't help but say angrily: "Liu Chengfeng's courage is too big, dare to order someone to besiege Shuntian Mansion?" ”

Xie Qian said: "Flies are not seamless eggs, not to mention that the officials of the court instructed their families to do business, and also embezzled the goods of merchants, if this matter is true, why not make a fuss among the merchants?" This matter is clearly not aimed at the cabinet, but I am afraid that at this time, the palace will make a decision. ”

Liu Jian was silent.

Outside the Shuntian Mansion, the water that had been surrounded was impassable, Tang Shao was in a hurry in the ya, and the matter happened too quickly, so that he was not prepared at all, but of course he knew that this matter was too big, and he must not be pressed against the outside businessmen, but if he didn't press it, these people would not disperse, and it would inevitably be more tricky.

Tang Shao also had a premonition of a catastrophe in his heart, the whole person was like an ant, but he didn't know where to start, as for Zhu Zan, the household servant, he had already placed a note to ask Zhu Zan to take an idea, but an hour had passed, and there was no response until now.

Needless to say, Juzan has already avoided trouble.

Tang Shao scolded Zhu Zan a hundred times in his heart, but he was helpless, but the drums outside were pounding, which shook Tang Shao's heart and liver.

"What to do? What to do? If they ignore it, the merchants outside will definitely refuse to disperse. But if there are so many people, so many mouths, and so many grievances, do you still want to let yourself be punished for the sins of Zhu Zan? ”

Tang Shao couldn't help but smile bitterly, the whole person collapsed on the chair, speechless for a while.

However, the merchants outside did not make any radical moves, kneeling in a large area outside the yamen.

If it was said before, they definitely didn't have the courage to sue the household servant, but at noon yesterday, Liu Chengfeng led people to raid the goods store led by Heyuan Commercial Bank to make them brave.

Obviously, these firms have cheated them out of their money, and if they can get it back, why don't they come and sue them? Anyway, behind them, there is Uncle Guo, Liu Chengfeng, and even possibly, there is a prince.

With confidence, people's courage is naturally a little bigger, and this morning's Xueer newspaper also has a front page, specifically attacking this matter, which makes everyone's confidence a little more sufficient.

This matter is not small, the major yamen were alarmed all of a sudden, since some people attacked Liu Chengfeng and instigated, but more of them changed their words and began to slash Zhu Zan and others Sven swept the floor, Tian was shameless.

This is a clear thing, Liu Chengfeng is just an outsider to everyone, no matter how domineering this guy is, he is also pro-army, originally everyone wanted to scold and impeach, but it was just to make a scene.

But Zhu Zan's identity is different, he is his own person, he is a figure in this circle, this guy dares to be so shameless, which makes everyone have a feeling of being betrayed, not to mention that many of the insiders exposed in the Xueer newspaper have also made many people angry, if you love money, it's okay, but you actually use everyone as a gun, let everyone go to attack Uncle Guo and Liu Chengfeng, but he secretly crossed Chen Cang and used everyone for his own selfish interests.

After that, a letter from the cabinet has stirred up a thousand feet of waves, and Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and Xie Qian jointly signed a concert, asking the palace to find out the original cause and thoroughly investigate the relevant personnel.

This recital seems to be impartial, but the cabinet's impartiality and attitude are very clear, and the relevant personnel are thoroughly investigated, that is, Zhu Zan and others have nothing to do with the cabinet, His Majesty wants to fight or kill, and the cabinet stands by and watches.

Sometimes, impartiality is bias, at least everyone knows that no one will protect Zhu Zan's people, not even Zhu Zan's mentor Li Dongyang.

If it is said that the palace was still in the mud in the past, but it was listed in an urgent situation, and it had to make a decision, in the Zhengxin Palace, Queen Zhang's tearful eyes were already crying, Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling The two brothers were kneeling outside the hall, the prince Zhu Houzhao looked indignant, and Zhu Yougou's face sitting on the couch was not very good-looking.

He has read it three times, and he doesn't say whether this report is true or false, but the articles in this newspaper have already confirmed the evil deeds of Zhu Zan and others, and the newspaper said that Zhu Zan and others instigated their relatives to do business and make a lot of ill-gotten gains, and now hundreds of businessmen are surrounding the Shuntian Mansion to sue Zhu Zanren and others, is this evidence not enough?

What annoyed Zhu Youzhu even more was that Zhu Zan and these guys actually hit the abacus beads on the heads of Empress Zhang and Uncle Guo for their own interests.

Zhu Houzhao on the side said: "My father once said to my sons that the treasure building is a mountain of gold and silver left by my father to my sons, and with the treasure building, my sons will no longer have to work as hard as their father in the future." But now that Zhu Zan and others have instructed people to confiscate the goods of merchants trading in the Treasure Building, who else dares to trade in the Treasure Building in the long run? A few days ago, Jubaolou's business was just on the right track, but because of Zhu Zan and others, its reputation has plummeted, and if the father and emperor don't come out to set the record straight, the sons and daughters ...... "sons and daughters......

Empress Zhang said: "Zhu Zanren is so bold, the palace has lived in the palace for a long time, and he does not dare to interfere in political affairs, but Zhu Zansu has his own selfish interests, and he is in the morning."

Zhu Youzhu sighed, held Empress Zhang's hand, and interrupted Empress Zhang: "The queen doesn't have to be anxious, she has her own opinions." ”

Zhu Youzhu pondered for a moment, and then said, "Come on, spread the will." ”

"Liu Chengfeng has a meritorious role in suppressing the party, and he ordered Liu Chengfeng to be the uncle of Fengcheng as a reward."

After Zhu Youzhu finished speaking, he waved his hand and said, "Go with the will immediately." ”

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but be angry, and said with a stiff neck: "Father, what kind of proposition is this?" This title was originally intended to be given to Liu Chengfeng, why didn't he make a decree to deal with Zhu Zan and others? ”

Empress Zhang also raised her head, looking puzzled.

Zhu Youzhu just smiled and said, "Then you will understand, okay, Lianzi will give you justice." ”

Zhu Houzhao was confused, but Zhu Youxuan said this, but he didn't dare to insist.

Zhu Youzhu stood up, paced back and forth in this hall, and said slowly: "By the way, there is still a will to be issued, come and record." ”

The eunuch who accompanied him immediately took the bamboo board, grabbed the pen and made a look of writing at any time on the bamboo board.

Zhu Youzhu said slowly, "This year's Jingcha must be strictly guarded, I have a Jiazi since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and the government of the officials must not be observed, the cabinet, the Ministry of Officials, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple jointly support this Jingcha, but all those who have a loss of virtue, or those who are in the corpse must be severely punished, and they must be personally inquired." ”
