In the west of the auxiliary city, the long cement avenue has been paved for several miles, and the road in the cement is full of workers carrying boulders to lay the foundation, the road repair workers of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Institute, originally only 10,000 forbidden army logistics strong men allocated by the Privy Council, and so after Zhao Lei repaired the Guobian Avenue, the cement road is much better than the official road Zhao Zhen, again allocated 5,000 Zhuang Ding to the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Institute, plus Zhao Lei recruited workers after the autumn harvest, now the road repair workers of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Institute have reached 30,000 people, if the weather cooperates, Five miles of cement roads can be built every day, and after the workers are experienced, there is still room for improvement in this degree, and this kind of road repair degree has been second to none in the Great Song Dynasty.

On the day when Xue Tongshan was arrested by the forbidden army of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Institute, the cement road had just been repaired to the east gate of Xifu, and a day later, the engineering team of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Institute had already passed through the Xifu City and paved the cement road to the west gate of Xifu.

In the temporary residence of the Xifu Xicheng Foreign Assets Institute, Zhao Lei was reading the official document sent from the Bianjing State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Institute.

Although the cement road is related to the stability of the Great Song Dynasty, this kind of thing does not need Zhao Lei to come to Xifu in person, but Zhao Lei bought a large number of shops and land in Xifu three months ago, and has not come to inspect since taking over.

The State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Institute is now a large yamen comparable to the scale of the three divisions, the number of money transactions every day is huge, and many things cannot be handled without Zhao Lei's nod, so after Zhao Lei came to Xifu, the stagecoaches from the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Institute to the West Auxiliary are endless, and the post man will send the official document to Zhao Lei's hands in the early morning, and then send the official document back to the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Institute in the afternoon. And the post man is just a wage earner who doesn't even have an official position!

Zhao Lei took the seal of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Institute, swept the official document in his hand, and did not look at it carefully, after pressing the seal with his hand, he threw it directly again, and then picked up the official document below.

"Your Excellency!" Just when Zhao Lei was dealing with official business, Su Xun suddenly pulled up the curtain and walked in.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Lei lowered his head and continued to cover the big seal. asked Su Xun casually.

"Zhongshu Lang Chen Zhizhong is here, I came for Xue Tongshan, I have already talked to him, and he wants to take Xue Tongshan's affairs privately." Su Xun walked in front of Zhao Lei's bookcase and said loudly to Zhao Lei.

"Private!" Zhao Lei frowned, raised his head and asked Su Xun: "The matter is so big, Xue Tongshan's family has been arrested, everyone in Bianjing knows, is it possible to be private?" ”

"The matter has not yet been sent to the Chinese book, which means that it has not been put on the table. Of course, it is possible to be private, but once it is private. Adults may fall into a reputation for bullying others. Although Zhao Lei has been in the Great Song Dynasty for ten years, the rules of officialdom cannot be completely figured out in ten years, so Su Xun, a staff member, reminded Zhao Lei very clearly.

"Bullying people with power! It's really ridiculous, since Xue Tongshan dared to let the official wait for him for half an hour, it is equivalent to not being able to get along with the official, what kind of thing does he Xue Tongshan have, what if the official is bullying him! Thinking that Xue Tongshan had made him wait for half an hour that day, Zhao Lei pursed his lips and said with a sneer.

"Of course, those who know the truth of the matter will not think that adults are bullying others with power, but the people who do not know the truth of the matter. I will definitely think that adults are bullying people with power. Su Xun suddenly took out a newspaper and handed it to Zhao Lei and said in a deep voice.

What Su Xun handed to Zhao Lei was a copy of the Xifu Daily, after Zhao Lei established the Bianjing Daily. The exhibition was extremely fast, printing and papermaking in the Great Song Dynasty had reached the peak of feudalism, and the cost of a newspaper was only one or two pennies. The newspapers of four or five languages are completely in the affordability of the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and the people of the Great Song Dynasty have always been rich, resulting in the rapid development of the newspaper industry, which is beyond Zhao Lei's expectations, in just a few years, the newspapers of the Great Song Dynasty have spread all over the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, such as the Bianjing Daily, which is closely related to the imperial court, has already been by foreign businessmen and envoys of the Great Song Dynasty, to the world, it is estimated that this will be the newspaper of the Great Song Dynasty that Europe is studying!

Zhao Lei opened the folded newspaper, and the most eye-catching news in the newspaper was the news of Xue Tongshan's arrest, which insinuated the news that Zhao Lei was bullying people with power.

Zhao Lei, who had read the contents of the newspaper, laughed, turned his head to Su Xun and said: "This newspaper is really interesting, you dare to talk to Xue Tongshan like this, have you checked it?" ”

"I've checked, this newspaper was run by a Xiucai who Xue Tongshan helped in his early years, this Xiucai is helping Xue Tongshan fight against grievances, but there is no big problem, this newspaper has a very small volume, the scale of thousands of copies, only in Xifu City, and it has little impact, but if the adult releases Xue Tongshan, it will be equivalent to sitting on the reputation of bullying people with power, which is not good for the adult's official career in the future!" Su Xun persuaded Zhao Lei again.

Brother Ming Yun laughed, a newspaper with a scale of 1,000 people, what can it affect, and the cause of this incident is clear to all officials in Bianjing, as for the prestige in the hearts of the people, do they identify the character of an official because of a newspaper, don't think so stupid about the people, those people will take this matter as a joke, but they won't take it to heart, okay, go and ask Chen Zhi

This is the only influence in the DPRK and China, after my senior brother Wang Sudi is clear, it is not good Zhao Lei said to Su Xun with a smile that he didn't care.

Looking at Zhao Lei's indifferent smile, Su Xun had no choice but to invite Chen Zhizhong.

………………………………

Chen Zhizhong is in his early fifties this year, and he has been accredited to serve as a Zhongshu Shilang from the fourth grade, in addition to Wang Su and Du Yan in the Zhongshu Yamen, he is considered to be his highest position, and he was originally qualified to compete for the governor's affairs, but because of a trivial matter, he was impeached by Kong Daofu, who returned to Bianjing to serve as the imperial envoy Zhongcheng, and finally had no choice but to befriend Du Yan and serve as the Zhongshu Shilang.

Chen Zhizhong doesn't like Wang Su very much, as the son of a powerful man from the same background as Wang Su, the older Chen Zhizhong is still a four-grade official, Wang Su, who is eight years younger than him, but he has already worshiped the prime minister and ruled the dynasty, Chen Zhizhong has always thought that Wang Su's talent is not enough to worship the prime minister, and to be able to get to this point today is completely Zhao Lei's help, when Zhao Lei won the favor of the official family, Wang Su rose step by step, and the two supported each other until today, so when Chen Zhizhong was hopeless in the competition for the governor's political affairs, he made up his mind to learn from Wang Su and decided to hug Du Yande's thick legs, Strive to pay respects to the prime minister as soon as possible.

Chen Zhizhong, who doesn't like Wang Su, naturally won't like Zhao Lei, who is close to Wang Su, but Zhao Lei is now in the limelight, and the influence of both the official family and the court is not small, even if he doesn't like it, in order to mediate the contradiction between Zhao Lei and Du Yan, Chen Zhizhong can only come to Zhao Lei to negotiate with him.

"Chen Zhizhong, the secretary of the lower official! I've seen Lord Zhao! When Chen Zhizhong saw Zhao Lei, he bent down and said respectfully to Zhao Lei.

"Lord Chen doesn't work in the Imperial City, so what's the matter with the Xifu Institute?" Zhao Lei pretended to be puzzled and asked Chen Zhizhong.

Chen Zhizhong looked at Zhao Lei, who was pretending to be confused, although he was dissatisfied in his heart, but when he thought of Du Yan standing behind Xue Tongshan, a businessman, he could only calmly answer to Zhao Lei with anger: "The lower official is here for Xue Tongshan." ”

"Xue Tongshan is convicted of colluding with Xixia, why should Lord Chen run away." Zhao Lei looked at Chen Zhizhong expressionlessly and said.

"Sit down! He Xue Tongshan has any charges that can be confirmed, but reselling some silk, porcelain, and tea to the Western Xia, these things are being done by many wealthy families in the Great Song Dynasty, if this is considered collusion with the Western Xia, the Great Song Dynasty does not know how many businessmen are doing business in collusion with the Western Xia, Lord Zhao can't generalize! Chen Zhizhong laughed and explained to Zhao Lei.

"The grenades and mines were found from Xue's house." Zhao Lei sneered and looked at Chen Zhizhong and said.

"The origin of the grenades and mines, Lord Zhao and Xia Guan both understand in their hearts, even if Xue Tongshan is convicted of the crime, what is the benefit to Lord Zhao, Lord Zhao cares about nothing more than being lost face by Xue Tongshan, and the shops in Xue Tongshan's house, even if Lord Zhao kills the Xue family, these things will not fall into the hands of Lord Zhao, it is better for Lord Zhao to open the net, and the lower officials will make decisions for Xue Tongshan and give those shops to Lord Zhao, the best of both worlds, why don't Lord Zhao think about it." Chen Zhizhong didn't want to entangle with Zhao Lei, so he asked Zhao Lei directly.

"Shop! Master Chen thought that just those shops could buy Xue Tongshan's life. Zhao Lei had already knocked Xue Tongshan with a big mouth when Chen Zhizhong came over, and now when he heard that Chen Zhizhong was only willing to pay the price of tens of thousands of taels of silver in those shops, he couldn't help but start sneering and said.

"Lord Zhao thinks, what is the value of Xue Tongshan's life?" Chen Zhizhong was also ready to be knocked out, and asked Zhao Lei seriously.

"I heard that Xue Tongshan has a big manor in Xifudong." Zhao Lei asked Chen Zhizhong casually.

Chen Zhizhong heard Zhao Lei's words, and shouted in his heart that Zhao Lei was too dark, Xue Tongshan's manor in Xifudong is well known, it is a huge manor of eighteen hectares, which is the source of the wealth of the Xue family, after a hundred years of expansion to today's scale, the value of that piece of land is not less than millions of taels, accounting for more than half of the Xue family's property, Zhao Lei wants to go to that manor, the Xue family does not have a hundred years of hard work, don't want to restore today's wealth, this Zhao Lei, it's really black! Chen Zhizhong looked at Zhao Lei and thought in surprise.

Chen Zhizhong's choice now is very simple, either give Zhao Lei a huge manor worth millions of taels of silver, or let Zhao Lei report Xue Tongshan's matter to Zhongshu, Xue Tongshan is dead, and the Xue family's tens of millions of taels of wealth will be confiscated into the treasury.

If the money is gone, you can make it again, if you die, there is really nothing, but the manor of millions of taels of silver is cheap Zhao Lei! Chen Zhizhong thought of this, so he nodded and agreed to Zhao Lei's request.

A few days later, Xue Tongshan was convicted of smuggling, and at the same time detained the charge of smuggling weapons from the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Institute to the Western Xia party member who found Xue Tongshan's connection, Xue Tongshan was fined 1,000 taels and returned home, and the day before Xue Tongshan was released from prison, Zhao Lei obtained a huge manor of 18 hectares and 1,800 acres.
