The next day, Jia Yucun went to the yamen to handle official business, and arranged for the collection of autumn taxes with other colleagues and subordinates. There are special people in charge of these things, and Jia Yucun just supervises and asks as usual.

came to the back hall and found a few masters to discuss. Master Qian Liang reported on the accounts of the Jiangling Treasury, and Master Engineering reported on the repair of the Jiangling embankment, ditch and city. The other masters reported their respective responsibilities, and overall there was no big problem. Some problems have also accumulated for many years, and they cannot be solved by Jia Yu Village.

Only the master of the criminal name reported that the problem was more serious.

It turns out that Jinling is the old capital of the previous dynasty, and it is also the starting place of the present dynasty, with many wealthy families. Cases of arson, assault, encroachment and plundering are crammed into the case. Compared with. If the Xue family's matter hadn't involved the Feng family, it wouldn't have been ranked at all. The successive prefects of Gangneung either turned a blind eye or aided in the abuse. Otherwise, it was because he was tough with the wealthy family, he was transferred, and he was assassinated by his office.

Therefore, as an official in Jiangling Mansion, he needs the talisman of Na Lao Shizi.

Several masters are well-informed, and they also have a bit of a headache in the face of these situations, if they can't handle these cases well. I'm afraid Jia Yucun's career will stop here.

Lu Renbing rubbed his head, this situation was not the first time they had faced it. The predecessor Jia Yucun was actually at a loss in the face of this situation.

After Lu Renbing regained his memory, his head was also very big. These major wealthy families entrenched in Gangneung, in fact, the real family has moved to the capital, after all, it is the core of power. What remained in Gangneung was the ancestral house and the side branch head that was far away from the Zong family. These side branches, relying on the power of the clan family, have held the power of the yamen at all levels in Jinling, and each institution is their own people, and these families have colluded with each other to form a community of interests.

If it is in their interest to the officials from outside, they themselves can share some of the benefits to those officials. If these officials take the slightest action against them, they will at least set up the officials and use their family power to make these officials lose their posts and dismiss them, or at the worst, let these officials lose their lives in no apparent circumstances.

This situation is not uncommon everywhere, and it is especially serious in Jinling. Unless the clans of these families commit the great crime of raiding the family and exterminating the clan, it will affect these side branches, and at other times these people are basically rampant. The intimate marriage to each other has brought them together. Even if the clan in Kyochu came back and wanted to exercise the sect power, it would not be easy to succeed.

They have become monsters that all forces can't help but do. It is not without examples of the clan in Kyungri being implicated because of the evil deeds of the Gangneung people.

Therefore, there are many ideas that the clan in Jingli wants to separate from the side branches of Gangneung, but there are not many that can be done. If the clan in the capital doesn't want to spread the word and forget their ancestors and have an ungrateful reputation, don't want to get rid of these burdens. “

The clan power of the clan society is so incomprehensible. So you can understand that the Xue family, the Wang family, and the Jia family, are so powerful that they can't solve the Xue Pan murder case well, and the Xue family has to leave their hometown and fake their deaths and flee to the capital. Jia Yucun's notoriety also stems from the fact that it offended these clan forces.

Directly open the knife on these side branches, Lu Renbing will definitely be broken bones. Therefore, Lu Renbing's solution is to launch a clan fight clan, and he needs to be a referee. In this way, we can reap the benefits of the fisherman. But these thoughts cannot be said to anyone. These masters themselves are not reliable.

He can only rely on his own personnel and ability to solve the problem, and the Xue Pan case is the entry point. After the Xue family declined, there was actually only one real wealthy family in Jiangling, and that was the Zhen family. The Zhen family has an emperor's nurse, and she has been in Jiangnan for a long time, monitoring the entire Jiangnan for the emperor, and has a weaving mansion at hand, and is also ordered to intervene in the Yangzhou salt industry to make up for the deficit.

The Zhen family is still the foreign family of the six princes, and they are the most popular candidates for the succession, and they are the officials in Jiangnan for the six princes, and their power is monstrous and indispensable.

The case involves the Zhen family's most cases, and the worst thing is that Jia Yucun is not from the Zhen family. Although the Jia family and the Zhen family are old relatives, the four families of Jia Shi Wang Xue are all the disciples of the first prince, and now they are also the hardcore of the heirs of the first prince. This camp is almost impossible to switch.

Although Jia Yucun was only on the periphery, the more support they had with his arrival at Jia Shi Wang Xue, the more obvious the imprint on his body became. He and the Zhen family are destined not to coexist.

Jia Yucun, an important task sent to Jiangling, also has the meaning of monitoring and restricting the Zhen family, and these forces are well aware of it. When the Taishang Emperor's nurse was alive, the Zhen family was incomprehensible. It's not that the Zhen family can't be messed with, fighting the Zhen family is not only a means for Jia Yucun to show loyalty to the bigwigs behind the scenes, but also the only way to curry favor with today.

Nowadays, it is too lucky to get the position of the Son of Heaven, the foundation is unstable, the emperor is on the top, there is a kind of brothers and nephews who are eyeing the tiger, there are strong enemies outside, and there are corrupt officials and traitors digging the corners of the community. In particular, the power of the six princes and the former crown prince is the most threatening. Jia Yucun, as the periphery of the former prince's power, directly started a war with the uncle's family of the sixth prince.

It is not impossible to fight the Zhen family, and the Zhen family is not monolithic. Zhen Yingjia, the head of the Zhen family, relied on the reason that his mother was the nurse of the Emperor Taishang, turned a small sect into a large sect and became the head of the Zhen family, accumulating deep contradictions in each room of the Zhen family.

In terms of winning the heir, the Zhen family is not monolithic, Concubine Zhen is not Zhen Yingjia's half-sister, but Zhen Yingjia's sister-in-law, who was born to Mrs. Zhen's father and the old lady Zhen's dowry maid when she entered the palace as the emperor's nurse.

Old Madam Zhen, it's strange to be able to see him. Concubine Zhen, who is also a scheming girl, took advantage of the opportunity of Mrs. Zhen to be the emperor's nurse, took the opportunity to get acquainted with the emperor, became the emperor's childhood sweetheart, and entered the palace as a concubine when she became an adult, and had six princes. Zhen Yingjia, as the emperor's milk brother, is also deeply trusted and monitors Jiangnan for the emperor.

Zhen Yingjia has been dealing with this scheming sister since she was a child, and she is lukewarm to the six princes, and she doesn't want to support the six princes.

But the rest of the Zhen family didn't think so, and they wanted to push the six princes with their Zhen family's blood to the throne. Even if the overall situation has been decided, he is still willing to run for the six princes.

The Zhen family is also in crisis, the Zhen family has received the emperor six times to the south, and lost millions of taels of silver in the treasury. The emperor authorized Zhen Yingjia to transfer part of the Jiangnan salt tax to fill the shortfall, plus the fat gap of the weaving mansion that the Zhen family originally bore. The Zhen family should have paid off the deficit in the treasury long ago. But because of the need to subsidize the six princes and maintain the luxurious life of the Zhen family's houses, not only did the deficit not be repaid, but the result became bigger and bigger.

The appetite of the Zhen family is also getting bigger and bigger, and there is a posture of embezzling the Jiangnan salt tax, which has caused more and more people to be dissatisfied. The Zhen family doesn't even pay attention to the governor of Liangjiang in Jiangnan.

The descendants of the Zhen family are even more arrogant, and with the Zhen family's posts, they dare to occupy other people's land and children. The servants of the Zhen family not only oppressed the villagers, but also deceived the master's family. Some of the house slaves' houses are more luxurious than the owner's house of the Zhen family. Most of the national funds embezzled by the Zhen family flowed into the pockets of these wealthy slaves.

The various shapes of the Zhen family are not a secret, and the impeachment concerts of Kedao over the years can be piled up into a bunch of hills. were all suppressed by the emperor. Zhen Yingjia's self-defense is also endless. Zhen Yingjia himself didn't know that he had so many sins, and the sins committed by those family slaves were all planted in his head.

It's a pity that he is the same age as the emperor, and he is almost 70 years old, and he has to take the blame for others all day long, and he can't be idle for a moment.

Anyway, the Zhen family is a mess, and now Mrs. Zhen is nine out of eighty, and she is basically no longer able to serve as a director, just wait for Mrs. Zhen to return to heaven one day, and the Zhen family will collapse. No one can protect it, so the other people in the house want to protect the six princes. A dragon's skill is enough to bring them decades of glory and wealth.

The Zhen family seems to be strong, but it is actually very weak. Lu Renbing still has the means to knock them. He doesn't need to collapse the Zhen family, he just needs to brush up on the reputation of the Zhen family who is not afraid of power, and it is not a problem.

After thinking about it, I thought about it a few more times in my mind. Finally made a plan.

The big drama begins.
