Lu Jing's face turned pale and she couldn't speak.

Yuan Li knew that he had guessed correctly, he laughed, and immediately wrote a letter to Zhao Hanzhang, handed over all the evidence to his henchmen, and asked them to send it back to Luoyang quickly, and sent a letter to Zhao Hanzhang by telegram, telling her about it, and then said: "The Lu family can be destroyed." ”

Zhao Hanzhang was very sorry when he received the telegram, if it wasn't at this time, it would be good if this matter broke out earlier, or later, now...... It's not appropriate.

Zhao Hanzhang pressed down the telegram and waited for the evidence to arrive.

Zhou Xi led the Yangzhou military, and the Jiangnan gate lords who were in the same company were very happy, which showed that Zhao Hanzhang recognized their status in Jiangnan.

Only Lu Yuan was the most unhappy, "He is the county guard of Wuxing County, what about Lu Jing?" There is always a saying about whether he is promoted or transferred, why did he abruptly appoint Zhou Xi as the county guard of Wuxing County? ”

"Could it be to divide the Zhou family and the Lu family?"

Lu Yuan: "Hmph, how can this carving insect skill match our two clans?" ”

"Isn't Brother Lu very unhappy now?"

Lu Yuanqiang said: "Who said it, I'm not angry at all now, I'm just puzzled." ”

His doubts were quickly solved.

Yuan Li's 800 miles were rushed to Luoyang on the third day, at this time Zhou Xi and Wang Dao had not left, they rarely came to Luoyang, naturally they had to communicate with some famous people in the world for a long time, and many people who followed them to Luoyang decided to stay in Luoyang, this farewell, I don't know when they can see each other again, and Zhao Hanzhang, they also want to know more about this regent general, so that they can better cooperate in the court and politics in the future......

Therefore, neither of them left.

Zhou Xi had already met Lu Yuan and said that he would mention Lu Jing's transfer to Zhao Hanzhang, they were both Wu people, so they should be more united outside and not be provoked......

Zhou Yu himself suspected that Zhao Hanzhang's move was to provoke him and the Lu family, but he couldn't refuse this position, so he could only appease Lu Yuan and find a way to find a good place for Lu Jing.

It's just that he saw Zhao Hanzhang twice, and whenever he wanted to mention this matter, he was diverted by Zhao Hanzhang.

The so-called matter is not more than three, he plans to mention it one last time today, if Zhao Hanzhang also diverts the topic, this matter can not be mentioned again, and he can only find a way to listen to the news from other places.

Unexpectedly, he was not diverted from the topic today, but smoothly said the question, "...... Where should Lu Jing, the county guard of Wuxing County, be transferred? The subordinate always has to hand over to him. ”

During the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, there were many cases of two assassins in one state, one county and two county guards, all of whom were appointed by you and me, or the former had not yet been discharged and transferred, and the latter had already arrived at the place.

In addition, there are those who hold official positions on their own.

As for who will end up in the place, it depends on each person's ability.

For example, Zhao Hanzhang, when she led the history of the assassin of Yuzhou, she did not report to the court at all, she led it with the previous assassin, and the court also appointed the history of the assassin of Yuzhou, but because she was powerful in Yuzhou, the new assassin did not dare to take office, for fear that she would die if she went, and then she occupied the position of the history of the assassin of Yuzhou.

But now it is not as good as at the beginning, at this time Zhao Hanzhang controls the imperial court, and the imperial court has a great right to speak, obviously, it is impossible for him to snatch the position of the county guard of Wuxing County with Lu Jing.

Since Zhao Hanzhang asked him to be the county guard of Wuxing County, why did he have to vacate the position for him?

Zhao Hanzhang: "Don't worry, Lu Jing has been taken down, and he will be beheaded in the near future, and you can take office directly as soon as you arrive in Wuxing." ”

Zhou Xi was frightened and hurriedly asked, "Why did the general kill Lu Jing?" Is it just for the subordinate to take over? ”

Zhao Hanzhang frowned, and Zhao Yunxin on the side scolded: "Bold, is the general such an unreasonable and arrogant person in the eyes of Zhou Sima?" ”

"What kind of good person is he, Lu Jing, is he a good official? forcibly seized the people's land for personal gain, increased taxes privately, and colluded with the rich and powerful businessmen to fish and meat in the township......"

Zhou Xi complained in his heart, is this kind of thing a rare thing in Dajin?

And Lu Jing himself is Haoqiang, it's strange that he doesn't collude with himself, right? This kind of person can be demoted, can take office, and there are many ways to deal with it, how can he kill his head?

still killed locally, but he was not brought to Luoyang for trial, and he didn't even have a chance to shout injustice......

Zhou Xi felt that Zhao Hanzhang's move was inappropriate, if he wanted to kill someone like Lu Jing, how many officials in the world would be beheaded?

Oh, the officials in Jiangbei have probably changed, but most of the officials in Jiangnan are still in the same atmosphere as before.

Zhou Xi was about to intercede, but Zhao Yunxin, who had been paying attention to his expression, threw out the last reason, "...... colluded with Wang Dun with the intention of rebellion. ”

Zhao Yunxin said meaningfully: "Lu Jing and Wang Dun have been in contact for a long time, Wang Dun conspired with him to cause trouble together before he rebelled, and I learned from the letter that there are many Jiangnan officials and scholars who have conspired with him. ”

Zhou Xi's back was cold, the soles of his feet seemed to be stepping into the air, and the whole person was dizzy...... He also had this heart, and had an ambiguous period with Wang Dun, which is reflected in the letters......

Zhou Xi looked at Zhao Hanzhang.

Zhao Hanzhang shook his head at Zhao Yunxin, and then said: "The people in Wuxing County are full of complaints, and the people's grievances have reached a place that I can't ignore, so I ordered Yuan Li to investigate, who knew that a check actually found evidence of collusion between Lu Jing and Wang Dun." ”

Zhao Yunxin picked up a box and handed it to Zhou Xi at Zhao Hanzhang's signal.

Zhou Xi opened it and saw that there was a stack of letters, not only written by Wang Dun to Lu Jing, but also letters exchanged between Lu Yuan and several people in the Lu family.

Although it is not written by Lu Jing, just looking at these letters, it can be seen that the Lu family is considering mixing with Wang Dun, and there are many complaints in the letters about Langya, Wang Xinzhong, Liu Kui, Diao Xie and others and suppressing them......

Several people also revealed in the letter that King Langya is weak, and I am afraid that he will not be able to compete with Zhao Hanzhang, so it is better to go to Wang Dun and fight hard, maybe he can fight for a bright future for the family.

The more Zhou Xi looked at it, the more his heart sank, to be honest, he also had this plan, but he didn't have time to put it into practice, and Lu Jing, he quietly provided news to Wang Dun, and also provided food and grass when his army passed by.

Zhou Xi clenched the letter in his hand, his heart turned a thousand times, and he still knelt on the ground to intercede for the Lu family, "General, the future of Jiangnan was uncertain before, and people's hearts inevitably fluctuated, but everyone only dared to think in their hearts, and never dared to apply it to reality. The evil things in the world, when the deeds are not careful, it can be seen from the letter that it was Lu Jing's idea to provide food and grass to Wang Dun, and the Lu family did not know about it. ”

He said: "If the Lu clan knows, Lu Yuan will not follow me and wait north to come to Beijing." ”

Zhao Hanzhang bowed: "I believe in Lu Yuan and the Lu family, so I only ordered Yuan Li to take down Lu Jing, and did not move the rest of the Lu family." ”

She turned her head and said to Zhao Yunxin: "Please invite Lu Yuan and Jiang Feng to come into the palace." ”

Zhao Yunxin bowed down.

After a while, Lu Yuan and Jiang Feng both entered the palace, and there was no one in the hall, so Zhao Hanzhang showed them the letters collected by Yuan Li.

Lu Yuan and Jiang Feng were both drenched in cold sweat and their faces were pale.

This matter has nothing to do with Jiang Feng, it can be said that among the four major families in Jiangnan, the Jiang family was the first to invest in Zhao Hanzhang, and Jiang Pu followed Lu Yang's family to Luoyang and went north to study early.

However, although the four major families have fights, they are also prosperous and lossy, and the most important thing is that this represents Zhao Hanzhang's attitude towards the wealthy family of Jiangnan Gate Lords.

King Langya is a typical example.

When he first went down to Jiangnan, he put on a very high posture and wanted them to visit him;

After discovering that he was nothing in their eyes, he began to be polite and virtuous, and he was lenient and courteous to them;

After having a conflict of interest with them, he used Liu Kui and Diao Xie to suppress them......

How can this make them not hate?

So, does Zhao Hanzhang also want to follow the old path of King Langya?

Of course Zhao Hanzhang didn't leave.

In the eyes of the wealthy families of the Jiangnan Gate, King Langya is competing with them for interests, and his eyes are full of interests, but he has forgotten all the laws of the court, and it seems that everything can be exchanged for interests.

The Wang family and the four major families invaded the people's land in the south of the Yangtze River, privately granted official positions, and selectively implemented the decrees of the king of Langya.

Zhao Hanzhang will never allow such a situation to continue in Jiangnan.

She is willing to make a false deal for the sake of the stable situation in Jiangnan, but it does not mean that she will retreat without a bottom line.

Taking advantage of this time to seize the handle of the Lu family, she can have another deep conversation with them.

This conversation talked about the darkness, and when Zhou Xi, Lu Yuan and Jiang Feng left the palace, the steps of the three of them were a little vain, their faces were slightly pale, but with the joy of rebirth after the catastrophe, as well as the deep fear of the palace behind them, their eyes were complicated.

Zhao Hanzhang threw all the letters into the brazier and burned them in front of them.

She will not use this to blame the Lu family, all the gate lords in Jiangnan are strong, whether they are showing signs of participating in Wang Dun's rebellion, or those who have already defected to Wang Dun, she can be tolerant.

If the former is not pursued, the latter is not implicated, and their lives can be saved.

However, she demanded that from now on, the gate lords and heroes in Jiangnan should abide by the laws of the state, and in order to quell the war and appease the people, each family must release a certain amount of land to be redeemed by the treasury;

Let go of some tenants, slaves and maids unconditionally, and let them return to their hometowns......

Provide a certain amount of relief food to the common people to help them survive this winter......

In the end, Lu Jing was going to die.

Zhao Hanzhang's rhetoric was, "Not because he provided grain and grass for Wang Dun and participated in the rebellion, but because he was corrupt and perverted the law, causing the people of Wuxing County to boil." ”

This time Lu Yuan did not object, let alone intercede, he agreed very meekly, but he didn't believe Zhao Hanzhang's words in his heart, he felt that she still killed him because Lu Jing was involved in the rebellion.

In the eyes of these gate valve families, bad officials, dereliction of duty, corruption, and even brutality are not reasons for the court to behead, only to plot rebellion, because it touches the fundamental interests of the court.

Zhao Hanzhang naturally saw their thoughts, and he didn't have to make them believe her reasons.

It doesn't matter, the future is long, she has time to slowly correct their opinions, and as long as the people believe that this is the case.

This time, Zhao Hanzhang didn't let the post station deliver the letter, and directly telegraphed to report to Yuan Li about her handling results.

After Yuan Li received the telegram, he arrested the subordinate officials of Wuxing County, closed the pass, and directly took over Wuxing County militarily, making people propaganda in the streets and alleys.

Within a few days, a large number of people gathered in Wucheng County, Wuxing County, and Yuan Li asked Lu Jing to be dragged all the way to the entrance of the vegetable market, and cut people down in front of the people in the city.

The people were in tears when they saw it, especially the villagers and fishermen who were specially found by Yuan Li from the seaside, when they saw Lu Jing's head fall to the ground, they knelt on the ground with a flutter, beating their chests and screaming.

If it weren't for the shouts in their mouths, "Kill well, kill well", the onlookers would still think that they were hugging for Lu Jing.

The villagers and fishermen screamed and cried, and finally broke through the soldiers' defense line and snatched the body and head directly, and they wanted to pull Lu Jing's body to the beach to pay tribute to the family members who had died innocently because of him all these years.

Yuan Lidu was taken aback, and finally increased his forces to snatch the corpse back.

It's one thing to cut Lu Jing, if even the corpse is robbed and insulted, it's another thing, he himself doesn't mind making a feud with the Lu family, but the general can't.

In order to prevent the Lu family from hating the general, Yuan Li not only snatched the corpse back, but also pretended to be in front of the Lu family's subordinates to ask the servant to sew up Lu Jing's corpse and prepare a coffin for burial.

In the end, a team of soldiers escorted them back to their hometowns to avoid the angry people.

Therefore, when these subordinates returned to the Lu family to report, they also said good things about Yuan Li, "If there is no General Yuan to protect him, I am afraid that Lang Jun's body will not survive, and we will not be able to escort the coffin back to my hometown." ”

The Lu family was indignant, "Then I still have to thank him for not being able to stand up?" If he hadn't led his troops into Wuxing County to deceive Zi Mi, how could Zi Mi be like this? ”

Lu Jing, the word is quiet.

But there are also people in the Lu family who have different opinions, "I have opened the coffin and seen it, Zi Mi has not many injuries on his body, it can be seen that he has not been punished much, he is too reckless in Wuxing County, I reminded earlier, don't squeeze the people's power too much, we are Wu people, we have lived here for generations, and treating the people so poorly is to endure it now, and one day it will be retributed to future generations." ”

"This is good, he has not been retributed on his descendants, he has suffered retribution himself." He said: "If you want me to say, he died a good death, and the people have hated him so much that they want to eat his flesh and humiliate his corpse, and if he still presses it, it will affect the whole family in the future." ”

No one spoke again.

It took a while before there was a humane: "I heard that Zhao Hanzhang heard his notoriety in Luoyang, and the people's resentment was boiling, so he ordered Yuan to enter Wuxing to take people." ”

"Then she should be tried first and then killed, she didn't see Zi Mi, she directly ordered to kill, or beheaded on the street, so tyrannical, can she really allow my Lu clan and Jiangnan Shi clan to participate in politics?"

"Yes, I think she is very hard-hearted, and it is better to choose King Langya than to serve her."

"Shut up, there are villains like Diao Xie around King Langya, I would rather not be an official than be insulted by that villain."

"In this way, it is more suitable for Wang Dun."

"Be cautious, the head of the family is still in Luoyang, and I have to let him know about the affairs of Wuxing County, and we will discuss it when he replies to the letter." immediately wrote a letter to send it to Luoyang.

Lu Yuan was already on his way back, and after he came out of the palace that night, he urged Director Wang and Zhou Xi to go back to Jiangnan the next day.

He had to rush back to see Lu Jing for the last time.

He thought that no matter how fast the documents issued by the imperial court were, the time would be similar to his, but there would always be a time lag in the review and execution, and he wanted to see Lu Jing one last time, so that he could know what terrible things he had confessed.

How do you know that Zhao Hanzhang did not send an official document and directly telegraphed to kill him?

Lu Yuan was about to cross the river when he met the family member who reported the letter to the north, and with the letter, Lu Yuan finally realized the legendary cold.

Zhao Hanzhang does have a chilling ability.

After hearing this, his brows furrowed and he looked at Zhao Yunxin.

Zhao Yunxin immediately took a bunch of things over and handed them to Zhou Xi at Zhao Hanzhang's signal
