Chu Nan was betting on Emperor Liang's mind and courage. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

At the beginning of the Great Liang Dynasty, there were foreign enemies peeping, and the royal family couldn't spare their hands to attack the gate valves, so they could only win over first, even if they caused any trouble, they turned a blind eye and fooled the past.

Today is different from the past, the Daliang royal family is considered to have completely purged all forces, and it is becoming more and more confident, especially after the destruction of the Shen family twenty years ago, although the Daliang hurt some vitality, but finally took the first step to clear the door valve, it is ridiculous that many gate valves in Jiangnan are used to being arrogant and domineering, and they seem to be very sure that the royal family will swallow their anger.

Chu Nan also guessed that Emperor Liang had a huge grudge against many gate valves in Jiangnan, especially the Zhang family, and now he hurt the Zhang family but not disabled, and many forces attached to the Zhang family still have hope for the Zhang family, so they suppressed Chu Nan in a group, but as long as the Zhang family is really disabled, Emperor Liang will not lower his voice to help the Zhang family up again, and many forces will also see the situation clearly and stand up again.

Yang Lin was confused when she heard this, scratched her hair and said suspiciously: "Then aren't you afraid that the Chu family will be hated by other gate lords?" Many people will think that you were instructed by Lord Chu. ā€

Chu Nan said with a smile: "The Chu family went ashore a long time ago, so there is no need to worry about this." If you think about it again, if I seal Hebisheng, someone has to take over the businesses that can make a lot of money, such as purchasing and transporting military rations and trading with the barbarians in the northwest. In the past, the Zhang family was the only one, saying that it was cooperating with all parties, but most of the benefits were still eaten by the Zhang family, and now I snatched such a big fat from the Zhang family's mouth and put it on the table, I think many people will be greedy. ā€

Yang Lin smirked, although she didn't know much about these things, but watching Chu Nan discuss with herself in a serious manner still made her feel very accomplished, and after thinking for a long time, she frowned and said, "But I heard that Your Majesty is going to recruit you back, this case won't be closed again, right?"

Chu Nan sighed and said: "Your Majesty has been preparing for so long to complete the Northern Expedition, and such a good opportunity to leave a name in history naturally doesn't want to be ruined by the Zhang family." ā€

Yang Lin took Chu Nan's hand and said worriedly, "Then aren't your efforts all in vain?"

Chu Nan said quietly: "It won't be in vain, I will help Your Majesty make up your mind." ā€

......................................................................................................, "What, you want a public trial and a public sentence, and you want to behead the main culprit for public display?"

Wang Defu frowned and looked at Chu Nan in disbelief.

Chu Nan nodded and said lightly: "Yes, Your Majesty is soft-hearted again at this time, it really shouldn't be." I will help Your Majesty completely strengthen his mind to suppress the Zhang family. ā€

Wang Defu pursed his lips and muttered, "You are forcing Your Majesty to stand on your side, and you are also blackmailing Your Majesty in disguise." ā€

Chu Nan didn't care, and said slowly: "Lord Wang's words are serious, how can this be regarded as blackmailing Your Majesty." I don't have that kind of idea, and I don't have that ability. ā€

Wang Defu smiled bitterly: "According to the rules, even if the Metropolitan Procuratorate does not hand over the case to the Hangzhou Government, it must also be handed over to the Criminal Department. If all the shopkeepers of Hebisheng are dead, and most of the business names are dead in name, will Your Majesty return the disintegrated Hebisheng to the Zhang family? I think most of them will pinch their noses and accept your affection. ā€

After speaking, Wang Defu seemed to think of something, shook his head and smiled: "You are really a good calculation, do you dismantle Hebisheng and let other families in Jiangnan divide it......? We all know that you are reckless and ignorant, who would have guessed that you would think so far. ā€

Chu Nan sighed: "This can only be the case now, I can't let the Chu family really get involved in this whirlpool." ā€

Wang Defu looked at Chu Nan with emotion and reminded: "Your Majesty's holy decree is probably already on the way, if you want to do it, you have to hurry up, it will be too late when the holy decree arrives." ā€

Chu Nan stood up and said softly, "It's been long enough to delay in Jiangnan, it's time to go back." Today, I will deal with the last bit of tail, and tomorrow I will take people to the execution ground. ā€

................................................................................................ In the afternoon of the same day, Chu Nan personally visited Liu Khotan, the head of the Liu family, and the two of them withdrew everyone for an hour, and waited until the end of the day to go out of Liu Khotan's study.

Liu Tian's face was a little weird, and he hesitated: "Lord Chu's idea is good, and the Liu family is also willing to eat a part of the business that Hebisheng has everywhere, but how can Lord Chu ensure that the Liu family can get it smoothly?"

Chu Nan looked at the sky, shook his head and said softly: "This is just to let the Liu family officially move from behind the scenes of Hebisheng to the front of the stage, as long as Mr. Liu can raise the military rations urgently needed in Mobei, he will naturally be able to leave a good impression in the hearts of His Majesty and the generals, and it will be natural to take over the role of Hebisheng smoothly at that time." ā€

After speaking, Chu Nan lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Liu, don't forget that there are also the Chu family and Wang scholars in the capital, don't worry." ā€

Liu Tian's heart jumped violently, and he naturally understood that this was a heaven-sent opportunity that could not be missed, and gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, the Liu family will not let the soldiers of Mobei go hungry even if they smash the pot and sell iron." In addition, the Liu family provided 3,000 ...... for free No, 5,000 pieces of cotton clothes were used by the soldiers of Mobei to keep out the cold. ā€

Chu Nan laughed, after all, he was a businessman, and the huge benefits contained in it were naturally more thorough than Chu Nan's, even if there were more losses this time, as long as he successfully took over the fat difference in the purchase and transportation of military rations, he would naturally earn back ten times and a hundred times in the future.

Chu Nan walked to the door and did not forget to remind: "At noon tomorrow, Mr. Liu should not forget to invite several other family masters to the execution ground to watch the ceremony. ā€

Liu Tian calmed down, after all, this is just a plan, whether the matter can be successful or not has to be said separately, nodded slowly and said: "Lord Chu, don't worry, I think several other family heads will also be very interested in this matter." ā€

................................................................................................ The news of the victory of the Northern Expedition finally reached Hangzhou, obviously the news is also very exciting, although the distance is far away, and the battlefield can not feel the tragic desolation, but the expansion of the territory has always been the most exciting news, countless Hangzhou people put up lights, secretly calling Your Majesty wise, the Liang soldiers mighty.

It's just a pity that Emperor Liang couldn't witness the scene of Jiangnan celebrations with his own eyes, otherwise most of them would laugh out loud in their dreams, a tragic victory can make the people of Jiangnan return to their hearts, and this alone can say that the Northern Expedition was successful.

Jiang Yue placed the messenger who sent the news of the Northern Expedition victory for 800 miles, and then slowly breathed a sigh of relief, such a bad case as Hebisheng would also be silently erased in the face of the Northern Expedition victory, Emperor Liang swept away the decline of Liang for decades, and naturally no one was allowed to spoil this grand ceremony, and the annoying Chu Nan was about to be recalled to the capital, so he could at least breathe a sigh of relief.

The housekeeper of the prefect's yamen ran in in a little haste, and said with difficulty: "My lord, just now Lord Chu from the Metropolitan Procuratorate sent someone to deliver the news, saying............ Say ............"

Jiang Yue was in a good mood, picked up the teacup and asked with a smile: "Did you say that the Supervision Institute is going back to the capital and come to bid farewell to this official?"

The housekeeper lowered his head and said in a trembling voice: "Lord Chu said that at noon tomorrow, fifty-seven important criminals including Zhang Pu, Zhang Mingqi, and Zheng Qichu will be beheaded and displayed to the public, please go and watch the execution!"

Jiang Yue's face turned pale, the tea cup fell from his hand, wetting his official uniform, and shattered into pieces on the ground with a crisp sound.

Tonight, Hangzhou is destined to have no sleep!
