Chen Xinjia really couldn't wait, since he was reactivated by Chongzhen, the small flame of revenge that had been extinguished began to burn again.

The day after he restarted, Yang Sichang found him and clearly told him that his main task after arriving in Shanxi was to restrict and restrain Yueyang, in order to achieve this goal, Chongzhen also sent Gao Qiqian to replace Wei Tonghe as the supervisor of Shanxi, and the two of them clamped Yueyang in Taiyuan and Datong respectively in Taiyuan and Datong.

Of course, Chen Xinjia didn't ask why the imperial court didn't directly remove Yueyang's post and lock him into Beijing, such an idiot knew that I have an army of 18,000 in Yueyang's hands now, and I want money and food, and it is the most stupid thing to take him down directly. And Chen Xinjia also saw that the reason why Chongzhen reactivated himself was not because of how big Yang Sichang's face was, but because in addition to his enmity with Yueyang, he was also the best person to do this, after all, the rich property in Yueyang's hands and the nearly one million acres of fertile land would be blushing as long as he was a person.

How to do this mission well is the most nerve-wracking question for Chen Xinjia now.

In an inn in Taiyuan City, Chen Xinjia, who was dressed in casual clothes, was sitting in the guest room slowly sipping the fragrant tea that his man had just delivered. It's just that the teas are clearly not to his taste, and he puts down the cup after a few sips.

"My lord, the student is back."

Zuo Ting stood in front of Chen Xinjia with his hands down and said to him respectfully.

"Well, it's good to come back, is it done?" Chen Xinjia looked at Zuo Ting and asked with a stern expression.

"That's it!" Zuo Ting said very confidently: "The students walked around the North Shanxi Road, except for the attitude of Zheng Fakui, the governor of Yingzhou Prefecture, who was still a little vague, Jiang Xin, the governor of Hunyuan Prefecture, Zhou Dao, the military preparation of Beihengkou, and the magistrates of several surrounding counties all expressed their willingness to take the lead of the adults. ”

"Count them in for fun!" Chen Xinjia nodded and sneered: "After all, this world is the Ming Dynasty, thinking that Yue Yang is just a mere general, he dares to kill in Gyeonggi, he really thinks that a few soldiers under his command will be able to run amok." How many ways does the official want to clean him up? ”

"My lord, why don't you start doing it right away?"

A hint of excitement flashed in Zuo Ting's eyes, there are too many things that can really be operated when he sits up, and there must be a lot of benefits he can reap as a liaison, of course, the big head is still from the imperial court, but Yue Yang, as a landlord and god of wealth in the Ming Dynasty, even if it leaks a little from his hand, it is enough for him to eat a mouth full of oil.

Zuo Ting's excitement naturally couldn't hide from Chen Xinjia, he smiled faintly: "Don't worry, this matter has to be done slowly." We have to think long-term. We must wait for a few days after Gonggong Gao takes office in Taiyuan Mansion, and we can do it on both sides, otherwise it will be troublesome once the surname Yue is forced to be urgent, but I don't know that the dog will jump over the wall if he is in a hurry? ”

"Your Excellency is wise!" Zuo Ting looked admiring and admired.

"Hahaha......" Chen Xinjia laughed, "Yueyang, Yueyang, you didn't expect it, right?" I'm back Chen, this time I'm not inspecting the imperial history, I want to see if you dare to sneer at this official like before! ”

Chen Xinjia in this matter seems to have seen how Yueyang, who was once invincible in front of him, will prostrate in front of him, and he can slowly eliminate the power in his hands through a series of means. Then he was dismissed from his official position, and finally he was convicted, and all his family property was confiscated, and that was not the end. He also had to sell all his daughters to the Workshop Division, so as to eliminate the hatred in his heart. He Chen Xinjia wants everyone to know what will happen to those who offend him!

Although Chen Xinjia has not yet taken office, the news about his appointment as governor of Datong has already spread in Shanxi. If Chen Xinjia's appointment as the governor of Datong can only be regarded as a coincidence, then Gao Qiqian's appointment as the eunuch of Shanxi at the same time cannot help but make people think about it.

The sensitivity of people in the officialdom to politics is beyond the reach of ordinary people, and when talking to Shangguan, Shangguan coughs or farts, and the people below can study a sub-ugly. Not to mention the big thing of replacing two provincial bigwigs in a row.

The people in charge are well-informed, and although there are no means of communication such as telephone and radio in those days, this does not hinder the circulation of gossip in the slightest. Now people in Shanxi know that Yue Yang and Chen Xinjia are rivals, as early as last year, Yue Yangao had squeezed Chen Xinjia in the governor's palace to the point that he couldn't speak, and since the soldiers and horses of Xuanda Town have withdrawn to their original places one after another, people have learned from the mouths of some generals that Yue Yang has also offended the emperor's red man Gao Qiqian Gao's father-in-law. And now, these two people have all been sent to Shanxi by the imperial court, one is the governor of Xuanda, and the other is a eunuch who guards the town, can there be a good life in Yueyang now?

It has always been a habit of people in officialdom to be red and white, and soon, many people gradually felt some differences.

"Xianggong, Shunbao sent someone to send a message, saying that some unknown people have recently infiltrated Wuli Village, and they are wandering around there, not only asking about you everywhere, but also secretly contacting those low-level officials in Wuli Village, trying to win them over." In Yue Yang's study, Hai Lanzhu handed Yue Yang a piece of information from Yingzhou Mansion.

Yue Yang took the information, put it aside quietly and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

Hai Lanzhu angrily took out another stack of information and handed it to him, and said a little angrily: "No...... Here's some information from Yamashiro. In the past few days, Jiang Xin didn't know what medicine he had taken wrong, and he ran out of the city vigorously, he was interested in our newly cultivated fields, ditches and farms, and he seemed to be very interested in the granary where we hoarded grain, and he always wanted to go over and have a look, but was stopped by our people, so he seemed to be very unhappy. And the attitude of those officials and men in our surrounding counties towards us has also begun to rise. In the past, our people always went to them to do things, but now their attitude towards them has begun to be not so good, and some things that are obviously very simple, they have also begun to procrastinate, which is a good phenomenon from time to time! ”

Yue Yang smiled: "It's not strange, it's the practice of officialdom to be red and white, those people probably think that we are going to be unlucky, so they are drawing a line with us, but it doesn't matter, I will use my strength to sue them, and now it is not popular to play any rights and conspiracy." These days, it's popular to see who's got the big fist! Who's strength is strong, although this dynasty has begun to pay attention to the use of literature to control the military since the Tumu Fort, but this is not the right way. A country, a court wants to stand for a long time too heavy on literature and light on military force, the Song Dynasty is a living example, a big country even the emperor and concubines were arrested, such an example is not enough to warn the world? Of course, it is not possible to pay too much attention to military force and light literature, and the disaster of the Tang Dynasty is also an example. Therefore, the most important thing for politicians is to pay equal attention to civil and military affairs, and there must be a degree in this, and only by grasping this degree well can the country achieve long-term peace and stability. ”

When Yue Yang spoke, Hai Lanzhu looked at him quietly, with a hint of admiration and admiration in her beautiful eyes, and she smiled sweetly: "Xianggong, you said it so well, your knowledge is much stronger than those ministers of the Ming Dynasty, I really should let them listen to you." ”

Yue Yang laughed. He waved his hand. His own family knows his own affairs, and these things he said are clichés in later generations, and countless social elites, experts and scholars have already studied these things thoroughly, in the era of the big explosion of knowledge. He's just picking up people's teeth, and no matter how thick-skinned he is, he doesn't dare to ask for credit with these things.

After finishing speaking, Hai Lanzhu asked again: "Xianggong, since people have already attacked us." So what should we do? ”

"What else can I do?" Yue Yang's face turned cold: "Chen Xinjia and Gao Qiqian haven't taken office yet, so many people have come to praise their stinky feet, since that's the case." Then don't blame me for not giving them face, you immediately sue the people below, although we don't cause trouble, but others provoke us, then hit me back......"

Wuli Zhai Yuejiazhuang

This is the place where Yueyang made his fortune, and it is also the foundation of the Yue family, although Yue Yang and his family no longer live in Yuejiazhuang, but Yuejiazhuang is still surnamed Yue, and most of the land here is also surnamed Yue. Just last year, after more than two years of construction, Yueyang took Yuejiazhuang as the center and built a castle with a radius of more than 20 miles, which firmly protected Wuli Village.

The cement factory, steel factory, military workshop, and many farms and farms established by Yueyang in Wulizhai are creating an astonishing wealth every moment, and according to conservative estimates, it can bring at least one million taels of silver to Yueyang every year, so much wealth naturally attracts countless prying eyes.

At noon, the various workshops and mines in Wulizhai began to call it a day, and Yue Laifu also ended his daily routine inspection work and walked out of a steel mill.

"Yue Ling, these days, there are a lot of people who have mixed into Wuli Village, these people are wandering around Wuli Village every day, asking about our affairs, what do you say this should be done?"

Yue Laifu snorted, "What else can I do, Wuli Village is the work of the young master, and now that he is not here, I have to take care of this belongings, if anyone dares to move, I will play with him!" By the way, Lao Zhou, I still have to go to the farm to have a look, the autumn harvest should be completed in the next few days, I have to urge those little rabbit cubs to quickly transport the grain into the granary, if it rains and gets wet, it will be troublesome. ”

While he was talking, a small official ran over very wolfishly, and said loudly after seeing Yue Laifu: "My lord, just now an official came in Wulizhai, and he also brought a team of brocade guards, and as soon as he came in, he told us that he wanted to go to the granary of Yuejiazhuang to see the grain, but the villain and the Huang Dian officials did not let them, but they beat them. ”

"What...... Official? Still beating people? When Yue Laifu heard this, he was so angry that his beard turned high: "It's against them, and he dares to beat people in Wulizhai, doesn't he know whose territory this is?" ”

"Adult, the little one doesn't know, the official is very fierce, as soon as he opens his mouth, he asks us to prepare grain to pay taxes, and also check our account books and check the harvest over the years.

"Bastard thing, it's the other way around, you lead the way immediately, and the old man will go to meet this guy!" When Yue Laifu heard this, he was so angry that one Buddha ascended to heaven and two Buddhas were born, and he was about to go to the city of Wuli Village, but he was stopped by Zhou Da's stall before he could take two steps.

"Yue Ling's anger is calm, this matter is too strange, maybe there is some mystery here, you can't just go over in such a hurry, otherwise you will just fall for the enemy's tricks."

After Zhou Da's persuasion, Yue Laifu slowly calmed down, and he patted his thigh: "Yes, when the young master called us over yesterday, he told us to take care of our belongings." Whoever comes, don't pay attention to them. By the way, you immediately send someone to tell Mr. Ma Qian, ask him to strengthen his vigilance, take care of the castle, and never allow anyone to enter at will! Then send someone into the city to tell the rabbit cub and ask him to come over immediately, the old man is worried that we will not be able to suppress him without the presence of an official here! ”

The little official asked, "What about you?" ”

Yue Laifu glared: "Of course the old man has to rush over in person, those grains are our lifeblood, and we must not let people in!" ”

"Yes!"

………………

Since the construction of the city wall of Wuli Village, Yuejiazhuang's generation has also become a prosperous place. Thousands of acres of fertile land around it have also been requisitioned into a piece of commercial area, and countless merchants crowd it here every day, but only Yuejiazhuang still maintains its original appearance, but a tall wall has been built around it, and there are sergeants guarding it all year round, because many people know that most of the grain in Wulizhai and even Yingzhou Capital is hoarded inside, and even the silver treasury is in it, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a forbidden land.

But today. A five-grade official with a white pheasant embroidered on his chest came to the door of Yuejiazhuang with dozens of brocade guards, and after arriving at the door of Yuejiazhuang, the official showed an official document from the yamen of the state government and asked to go in for inspection. But he was stopped by the sergeants guarding the door.

The official pointed to the four sergeants who stopped at the door and shouted: "What are you doing here, this official is an official of the imperial court, and he has been ordered by the yamen to go in for inspection, if you dare to stop it, it will be like obstructing the government's errands." That's going to be pursued by the imperial court! If you don't want to affect the family, let the official get out of the way, otherwise the official will punish you for the crime of obstructing the official! ”

Just when this official was swearing. At the gate of Yuejiazhuang, Fujin also gathered a lot of people to watch the excitement, after all, it is the nature of Chinese people to love to gossip, which is no exception at any time.

Among the sergeants guarding the door, the leader was a military commander, and in the face of this official's scolding, this military commander just frowned and said: "This lord, this is Yuejiazhuang, no one is allowed to enter here without a warrant from Lord Yue, otherwise we will be blamed for being unreasonable!" ”

"You dare!" This official is about 40 years old, and he originally had good facial features, but a black mole at the corner of his mouth destroyed the overall feeling, and he looked less righteous and more gloomy.

I saw this official pointing at the captain and shouting: "This official is here on order, see which of you dares to stop it, you should be punished as rebellious, come here, give me a fight, this official will see who dares to stop it!" ”

"Yes!"

With the official's order, dozens of brocade guards standing behind him shouted in unison, pulled out the embroidered spring knives on their waists one by one, and forced towards the door with a menacing attitude.

Seeing this posture, the Wu Commander was also a little nervous in his heart, he didn't know whether he should step forward to block or let them retreat, facing the superior Jinyi guards, he was a little nervous, leading several sergeants to retreat step by step, seeing that he was about to retreat to the gate, but the dozens of Jinyi guards on the opposite side were still pressing forward step by step.

The official looked at the qiē in front of him, and a smile appeared on his face, as long as he could enter Yuejiazhuang, his mission today would be completed. And he heard that not only is the granary full of grain in Yuejiazhuang, but the silver warehouse there is also full of gold and silver, as long as he can make a profit, it is estimated that he will not have to worry about it for the rest of his life.

It's just that his dream was quickly shattered, and he only heard an angry shout: "Who dares to spread wild at the gate of Yuejiazhuang?" ”

As he spoke, he saw an old man in a servant's costume running over panting, followed by several small officials. The old man ran to the door and pointed at the official and shouted, "Who are you who dare to say that our Yue's village is wild, don't you know that this is Lord Yue's Zhuangzi?" ”

The official was stunned for a moment, and then after looking at the old man, he was furious, and pointed at the person who came like thunder and shouted: "Bold, who are you to dare to talk to the official like this?" ”

Yue Laifu pointed at the official and shouted: "The old man is Yue Laifu, the housekeeper of this Yuejiazhuang, this is our Yue's family's place, what are you doing here?" ”

"Oh? You're the housekeeper here? The official squinted at Yue Laifu and sneered: "In this case, you came just in time, this official was ordered to check your grain stockpile, you immediately ordered someone to open the door, and this official wanted to go in and check!" ”

"Phew......"

Yue Laifu spat on the ground, "Old man, I don't care if you are ordered or not, I only know that this is the important place of our Yue family, and no one is allowed to come here to make trouble, otherwise don't blame me for being rude." ”

Seeing that this little official dared to talk to himself like this, the official immediately became angry: "Eh, you dead old man, you dare to talk to this official like this, believe it or not, this official will immediately arrest you and punish you!" ”

"You dare?"

"Why don't you dare!" Seeing that this little official, who he didn't even look at on weekdays, dared to talk to himself like this, the official was also angry, and as soon as he waved his hand, two brocade guards immediately stepped forward to arrest Yue Laifu. (To be continued......)
