Wang Mang and Lu Yuan walked in Nanyang City, looking at the surrounding scenery, Wang Mang's brows gradually raised.

Nanyang City, not to mention the top two cities in the south of the entire Great Qin, is also a large city that can be counted, otherwise it would not be possible to raise such a big family as the four major families.

But now the streets of Nanyang City are deserted, all the businesses are closed, and the people are all closed.

"There is a feeling of rumor in this Nanyang City. Wang Mang said in a low voice: "It seems that all of our whereabouts are under the control of the Nanyang people, or in other words, Zhao Moqian is under his control, and the official is very curious about what Zhao Moqian is thinking." ”

"I don't know. Lu Yuan's face was heavy, he was Xinyang Ling, as the lord of a city, he knew very well how much energy, or prestige, it would take to achieve Nanyang's current state of being closed and closed.

Judging from the situation on the street, Lu Yuan deeply understood that I was afraid that the entire Nanyang had fallen under Zhao Moqi's control.

Lu Yao looked around with interest and said, "This is a clear plan to give us a dismissal! What should we do? Do we continue to go to the county government to find Zhang Han, or go directly to Zhao's house to find Zhao Moqi." ”

"County government. Wang Mang said lightly.

He and Lu Yuan came here to supervise the case of the four major families in the name of the minister, and all their actions were authorized by the imperial court.

Lu Yuan understood what Wang Mang meant, but he still pointed to some dark shadows that were obviously following around: "Do these people want to clean up?"

"No, there are just some small fish and shrimp on the left and right, since Zhao Moqian wants to see it so much, then show it to him. Wang Mang smiled, he has great righteousness and strength here, Zhao Moqian is a dying person, and it doesn't matter if he makes some small moves.

The whereabouts of Wang Mang and the others were all reported to Zhao Moqi, Zhao Moqian thought for a moment, and then understood that Wang Mang was fearless, and then smiled: "Since they are very confident in their own strength, if this seat continues to send people to keep an eye on them, it will seem that this seat is timid, and ordered the people who are watching to remove the hands of nine adults, but this seat wants to see what confidence they have to dare to oppose this seat in Nanyang City." ”

Nanyang County Ya.

Zhou Caiqun introduced Nanyang Ling Zhang Han to Wang Mang and the two, Zhang Han was shocked when he saw Wang Mang, looked Wang Mang up and down with a little suspicion, and then greeted Wang Mang as if nothing happened.

After the two sides saw the salute, Zhang Han said with a wry smile: "This official has already received the news that the two superiors have come here to do business, but helplessly, the county government has let the people of the Zhao family block it, and the blockade has not been lifted until just now, and the two superiors still ask for forgiveness!"

"Lord Zhang Han doesn't have to be like this, Lord Zhang has been able to gain a foothold in Nanyang for many years, and has confronted the four major families face to face many times, and the official has heard of it and admires it very much. Lu Yuan comforted: "I also heard about the situation of Lord Zhang before I came, and now I am very relieved to see that Lord Zhang is safe and sound." ”

Wang Mang also smiled and said: "Zhang Han, with your talent and learning, you can already be transferred out of Nanyang, but in order to retain a trace of vitality for the people of Nanyang in the shadow of the four major families, you are willing to stay here for many years, share your worries for the court, share your worries for Your Majesty, these Your Majesty and the Imperial Court all know, and when this happens, I am afraid that the adults will soon have to move the place." ”

Zhang Han didn't dare. Zhang Han hurriedly shook his head, he must be above Wang Mang and Lu Yuan in terms of seniority and age, but in front of these two people, he didn't dare to hold it up.

Outside the officialdom, the older the more important, but in the officialdom, the younger the more important, a fifty-year-old official, his future has been decided, and it is difficult to make progress in his career, after all, age is not allowed, and a twenty-year-old official, but the future is immeasurable, to be precise, the future is full of uncertainty, maybe for the rest of his life, that is, an ordinary official, but maybe the time comes, and he will soon be able to rank in the court, and even dominate the world, which is a matter of maybe.

In the face of young officials like Wang Mang and Lu Yuan, Zhang Han naturally did not dare to show his qualifications too much.

Although Zhang Han is low-key, Wang Mang and Wang Mang will not really treat each other as soft persimmons, and even Wang Mang personally likes Zhang Han's non-arrogant and impatient temperament, and Wang Mang is also ready to make some adjustments to some of Zhang Han's arrangements.

But this is not the time to say this, Wang Mang glanced at Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan hurriedly took out a yellow book from his cuff, Zhang Han saw this, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "Minister, Nanyang ordered Zhang Han to welcome the holy decree, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live!"

Lu Yuan waited for Zhang Han to finish speaking, cleared his throat, and said: "Pass on Your Majesty's edict: I am very heartbroken when I hear that the four major families of Nanyang are the evil side, and after the study of the court, it was decided to completely exterminate the four major families. ”

"The minister receives the order!" Zhang Han respectfully kowtowed in the direction of Chang'an, then stood up and said: "Two adults, what to do, you do it, Nanyang will definitely cooperate." ”

Wang Mang nodded and said, "What is the situation of the four major families now?"

"The four major families are now four in one, originally the four families of Zhao, Qian, Sun and Li, now the Zhao family is the head, and the three families of Qiansun and Li are vassals. Zhang Han frowned and said: "The four major families, the Zhao family is the only one, it has always been like this, the heads of the Zhao family have not had the idea of completely integrating the four major families before, but it has never been realized, I never thought that this time it was actually done by Zhao Moqi." ”

"How is Zhao Moqian this person?" Wang Mang asked again.

"From a fair standpoint, this person is eloquent and strategic, and he is indeed a genius!" Zhang Han sighed: "Frankly speaking, I have studied the four major families for many years, but I have also looked away, but I didn't expect that the four major families have been fighting for many years, and the last laugh is Zhao Moqi, who has not spoken a word from beginning to end. ”

"What is the strength of the four major families now after the integration?" Wang Mang asked again.

"Very powerful!" Zhang Han introduced: "The four major families have been entrenched in Nanyang for many years, and they have always regarded Nanyang City as their base camp to build, so to speak, in Nanyang, everything you have experienced from birth to death is under the shadow of the four major families, or they are all working for the four major families. ”

Seeing that Wang Mang and the two were still a little confused, Zhang Han continued: "It's not nonsense that the power of the four major families is tilted towards Nanyang, they rely on their strength, the entire eight-layer land in Nanyang City is in the hands of the four major families, and the nine-layer commercial circulation industry is under the control of the four major families, even this county government, almost half of the scribes and servants are people of the four major families, and in the past, the official could also rely on some contradictions within the four major families to move in it, and now the four major families are integrated, and I, the Nanyang Order, have directly become blind and deaf." ”

Zhang Han looked at Wang Mang and said with a wry smile: "What Zhao Moqian wants me to see, I can see it, I don't want me to see it, I'm just in front of me, I can't see it, this is the current strength of the four major families, or the Zhao family!"

Terror!

Wang Mang and Lu Yuan glanced at each other, and the word floated in their minds at the same time.
