This Yicheng was also frightened when he saw the flags of the West Factory, the East Factory, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so he told the causes and consequences of receiving the new science and technology scholar Hanlin and Zhang Sunzhen.

Now the Ming Dynasty is a decent Zhang Gui, Han Yi, and Yuan Keli, who are in power, and the officials elected to inspect the post government are also very decent, even the eunuch Wang Chengen, who represents Dongchang, is also a decent person.

Therefore, Huang Degong, Qi Biaojia, and Wang Chengen all felt unhappy for the people after hearing this, and they were quite annoyed, and they each sent a team of officials to follow this Wu Rui to arrest Zhang Sunzhen.

Zhang Sunzhen is still happy in the restaurant opened by his family near this post station.

He didn't know anything about the post government reform.

"Beauty, I'll have a drink."

Zhang Sun Zhen was laughing with a song girl happily, and he heard the door be kicked open.

Zhang Sunzhen suddenly woke up.

Then, he saw a group of government schools rushing in, drawing swords and pointing at him: "Come with us!" ”

Zhang Sunzhen's singer screamed in fright because of this.

And Zhang Sunzhen himself was a little confused, and fell directly to the ground: "You, who are you?" ”

"Hurry up!"

The official school of Yixi Factory was more impatient, and directly kicked Zhang Sunzhen in the back.

Zhang Sunzhen was furious, but he had to endure it, got up obediently, and followed these people to Huang Degong, Qi Biaojia, and Wang Chengen.

"Get on your knees!"

Huang Degong drank first.

Zhang Sunzhen was a little hesitant, after all, he couldn't do it if he was a civil official kneeling down as a military attaché, even if he was a civil official.

Huang Degong pulled out the knife directly.

"Kneel and kneel!"

When Zhang Sun Zhen saw Huang Degong draw his knife, he had to shout, and then knelt on the ground aggrievedly.

Qi Biaojia looked at Zhang Sunzhen at this time: "Zhang Sunzhen, do you have an official letter from the imperial court approving you to return to your hometown?" ”

Zhang Sunzhen didn't dare to lie at this time, and replied: "No! ”

"Since there is no official letter, then what qualifications do you have to extort three thousand taels of silver from the post station?!"

Qi Biaojia asked in a loud voice.

Zhang Sunzhen looked at Qi Biaojia in surprise: "What does this have to do with you?" ”

"We are ordered to inspect the post stations in this province, and those who disturb the post stations must be dealt with strictly!"

Wang Chengen replied.

After hearing this, Zhang Sunzhen began to realize that something was wrong: "Can you spare me this time, I am willing to give all three thousand taels of silver to the three Shangcha." ”

Wang Chengen sneered.

Qi Biaojia said with a calm face: "At least this official will not spare you." ”

"If the Metropolitan Procuratorate is not forgiving here, my West Factory will definitely not be forgiving."

Huang Degong replied.

"It's the same with the East Factory."

Wang Chengen replied.

Huang Degong said at this time: "According to the will, those who disturb the post station will be punished with a hundred rods!" Come on, press Zhang Sunzhen to the ground and beat him! ”

"Yes!"

The Xichang official school first pressed Zhang Sunzhen to the ground.

Syllable!

As soon as the board went down, Zhang Sunzhen suddenly screamed: "Ah! ”

Because of this, the scarf was directly shocked and flew out.

Zhang Sunzhen couldn't help shouting: "Plus 10,000 catties of food!" Ask the three subordinates to show mercy! ”

Syllable!

Another board went down.

Zhang Sunzhen only felt that the vertebrae were about to break, and he was so painful that he had to shout: "30,000 catties!" I'll give it all! Whining! ”

Syllable!

Then, there was another board.

"Ahh

Zhang Sun Zhen bared his teeth, sobbing and shouting, "Stop fighting!" ”

Syllable!

But the board kept falling.

Zhang Sunzhen had no choice but to look at Qi Biaojia: "This Feng Xian official, everyone is a civil official, can you show affection for each other, woo!" ”

Qi Biaojia ignored it.

Jokes, there are representatives of the East Factory and the West Factory supervising it, how dare he show favoritism.

What's more, Qi Biaojia also felt in his heart that this Sun Zhen nuisance post station was indeed very excessive, and he wanted to extort thousands of taels of silver, which was undoubtedly a county's income for thousands of people a year to be taken away by it, you know, it was difficult for an ordinary family to have an income of more than five taels of silver a year in the Ming Dynasty.

After Huang Degong of Xichang ordered Zhang Sunzhen to be beaten with a hundred rods, Zhang Sunzhen was already dying, almost only having qi coming out, not in.

"It's time to let me go, right?"

But Zhang Sunzhen also had a big life, and he still had the strength to speak at this time.

"Just now, he was beaten in the West Factory, and our Inspectorate hasn't beaten yet."

Qi Biaojia said and shouted to the official school of the Metropolitan Procuratorate beside him: "Beat him with a hundred rods too!" ”

"Yes!"

"Don't fight, don't fight, if you fight again, I'll die."

Zhang Sunzhen cried and shouted.

Syllable!

Zhang Sunzhen quickly slapped the official school of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, gritted his teeth and said: "I was wrong, I was really wrong, I don't dare to disturb the post station anymore!" ”

"Wang Fa is ruthless! It's useless to admit mistakes. ”

Qi Biaojia shouted as he spoke: "Continue to fight, until the fight is full of 100, don't let the people in the West Factory and the East Factory think that our Metropolitan Procuratorate is favoritism!" ”

"Yes!"

Syllable!

Syllable!

Syllable!

As a result, Zhang Sunzhen was completely killed by the cane and lost his breath directly.

Zhang Sunzhen's house slave Wu Rui felt both relieved and frightened when he saw this scene, and he had to admit that these people from the court were really ruthless.

Wu Rui also asked at this time: "Everyone, my lord seems to be dead." Can the little one carry him away? “

"Not yet!"

Wang Chengen said at this time, and said: "I haven't fought in the East Factory yet." ”

If you don't have power, you will be uncomfortable if you don't have a wide belt.

And the power to inspect the post office is also power, Wang Chengen can't use it, not to mention, he Dongchang must also prove his sense of existence on this power.

Therefore, Wang Chengen also shouted: "Dongchang's people will also beat him with a hundred rods!" ”

"Yes!"

So, Zhang Sunzhen continued to carry a hundred rods, and in the end, his back had been beaten into red flesh, and his blue silk clothes had already become smithereens.

And the post here was also dismissed and investigated next.

Wu Rui, these Zhang Jiahao slaves, were also exiled to the border according to the law.

The Zhang family's assets here were all confiscated.

The two brothers of the Li family were also put back.

Coincidentally.

After the establishment of the system of inspecting the post office, most of the gentry who disturbed the post station like Zhang Sunzhen were found and dealt with strictly.

The post station system of the Ming Dynasty has also been much clearer, and the people in the vicinity are no longer exploited by the gentry who come to the post station to extort money.

As a result, there has been a much reduction in public resentment.

In addition, after confiscating the properties of the criminal gentry in the vicinity of these post stations, the West Factory and the East Factory quickly expanded a number of directly operated royal stores near these post stations.

Because the name of opening these imperial shops in the West Factory and the East Factory was to stabilize prices, they both set the prices of firewood, rice, oil, and salt as necessities for the common people relatively low, making it difficult for the local wealthy with official gentry backgrounds to raise the prices of these people's necessities, and take this opportunity to plunder the people on a large scale.

"Good! Very good! ”

Zhang Gui also received that Huang Degong had dealt with Zhang Sunzhen and others during his inspection of the post administration, and praised him a few times.

In Zhang Gui's view, there is a tripartite power to check and balance each other's inspection system, it is indeed better than the separate eunuch dictatorship and civil dictatorship, in the past, the local inspection system was all responsible for the inspection of the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but the result is not ideal, and now there are West Factory, East Factory, Metropolitan Procuratorate together to inspect, it is a good rectification of the entire empire's post government.

Zhang Gui decided to take the opportunity to tell Tianqi about the fact that Zhang Sunzhen and these gentry were successfully punished because of the post government reform.

But just when Zhang Gui was about to tell Tianqi about this, on this day, on the Jingyan, there was Hanlin Luo Bi who took advantage of Jingyan to speak, and directly said to Tianqi: "Your Majesty! The East Factory and the West Factory took advantage of the new patrol system to seize profits from the people, and the patrol officials sent by the imperial court in various provinces also abused their power and abused the people, causing the people's resentment to boil. Your Majesty, this is not what a prosperous world should be! Please Your Majesty decree the abolition of this system, and it is strictly forbidden for the factory guards to open the emperor's shop in various post stations and disturb the people! ”

Although the post government has been restructured in this way, the people's grievances have decreased a lot, but the grievances of the official gentry have increased a lot, so Luo Bi couldn't help but complain bitterly at this time, and deliberately forced the apocalypse to express his position directly.

At this time, Chen Zizhuang, who also participated in the Jingyan, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Luo Hanlin is bullying the king!" The post station has nothing to do with the people, where is the disturbance to the people? The non-official officials who have always used the post station, patrolling the post station, at most disturbing the post station officials and the officials who use the official post, will not abuse the people at all! As for the West Factory and the East Factory opening the Huang Store near the post station, it is not possible to talk about competing with the people for profit, can it be ordinary people who can open a store near the post station without being afraid of the post guards, therefore, the West Factory and the East Factory opened shops near the post station, and did not compete with the people for profit. ”

Han Yi also followed: "Your Majesty, Luo Hanlin is indeed bullying the king, and he should be beheaded!" ”

Tianqi nodded: "Luo Bi is indeed bullying the king, but I have to be lenient, so change the punishment to cane death." ”

As he spoke, the apocalypse ordered: "Pull Luo Bi out, according to the crime of bullying the king, and kill him with a rod!" ”

"Your Majesty is as kind as the sky!"

Han Yi hurriedly flattered.

After hearing this, Luo Bi scolded Han Yi: "Han Puzhou, you traitor, you are the first assistant in vain, you are the first assistant in vain!" ”
