Fuzhou city gate overlapping, from south to north on a central axis arterial road, there are Hesha Gate, Ningyue Gate, Lishe Gate, Huanzhu Gate, Tiger Festival Gate, Mighty Military Gate, Governor's Mansion Gate, a total of seven city towers, all are tall and magnificent, the poem says "seven buildings move to the sky".

Heshamen is the south gate of the outer city, roughly near the Xima Bridge in later generations.

Tiger Festival Gate is the south gate of the sub-city, the east intersection of the Tiger Festival Road in later generations is its approximate location, from it to the Governor's Mansion Gate on both sides of the trunk road are the government offices, commonly known as the East Ya, the West Ya, the later generations also still have the East Tooth Lane, the West Tooth Lane.

The mighty military gate is located between these two gates, and the name comes from the old name of the mighty army in Fuzhou, and because of its main division and drum, it is also commonly known as the drum tower.

The Governor's Mansion was also the old name of the Tang Dynasty, and it was changed to a pacification envoy at this time, but the current pacification envoy was Uncle Xie Fang, and the yamen moved to Quanzhou, which was vacant for a period of time, so Zhao Mengqi set up the Southeast Jiedu Mansion here.

After the Gutian good news was issued, the bigwigs at all levels on Fuzhou Road gathered in Jiedu Mansion to discuss matters.

On the surface, everyone was jubilant, but after everyone released their emotions and the atmosphere eased slightly, Zheng Taiqing, the official of the prison, coughed a few times, indicating that he had something to say.

"This special service team has indeed done great success in subduing the thieves, but it is lawless to extort a huge amount of money from Gutian County in the name of the bandits, and it is also ridiculous to lead troops to attack the gentry's house without justice based on only one side, which shows that if there is no restraint from the civil ministers, the military generals will act arbitrarily, and if they continue to indulge, I am afraid that they will eventually cause a catastrophe, so the ministers implore His Highness to severely punish the relevant personnel and strengthen the control of the army to avoid similar incidents from happening again."

As soon as these words came out, they immediately aroused the worries of many civil officials, and some people directly echoed them.

"Martial artists are domineering by nature, and they don't know loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness, so they still have to be firmly controlled, and they must not be given the right to be autonomous."

"The martial artist is greedy, and now he dares to use trickery to obtain official and private property, and it won't be long before I'm afraid that he will directly use a knife to loot.

"The Wang family is a scholarly family, Wang Tongshu has served the court for half a lifetime, how can he do anything to pervert the law? Even if there is a real suspicion, it should be carefully investigated and judged, where can it be arbitrarily classified as a traitor?"

"Could it be that the generals were greedy for their family property and persecuted them for trumped-up crimes, so that wouldn't the gentry and the common people want everyone to be at risk?"

Zhao Mengqi'an sat on the throne and looked coldly at the noise of this group of civil officials, and couldn't help laughing in his heart.

Everyone is at risk? It's better to say that the officials are in danger.

Now that the entire Fujian Road is in turmoil, Fuzhou can be said to be out of the way, but it does not mean that the buttocks of these officials and gentry in Fuzhou are clean.

Zhao Mengqi knew very well in his heart that it was the collective will of the bureaucratic landlord class to stir up chaos and resist reform.

However, it was impossible for him to bring down the entire bureaucratic class, so he adopted a softer strategy and let out the exchange of interests, the so-called pulling one faction to fight another.

I hope that the consciousness of the current affairs will change his position in time, and those who follow his steps will not be guilty of the past.

At present, the effect is there, and most of the gentry in Fuzhou have made the right choice, but some incumbent officials still have some confusion about the situation and still maintain an ambiguous attitude.

Perhaps it was because Zhao Mengqi was breaking the existing civil and military pattern, as well as the ruthlessness and severity he showed on the issue of official governance, which made them feel dissatisfied and uneasy.

Seeing that these people were still self-righteous and forced Lai Lai at this time, Zhao Mengqi couldn't help but feel a little irritable, feeling that carrots alone were not enough, and he had to raise the knife too.

After making a decision in his heart, he said lightly, "If the people of the special service team put that money in their pockets, it would naturally be a big crime!"

Then his voice changed, "However, as far as Gu knows, this money was raised by Gutian Zhixian County to help the people who suffered from banditry, and the special service team only distributed it on behalf of him, what is the crime?"

"In addition, for rebellion, the rules of the imperial court have always been to prefer to be in vain rather than indulge, then the Wang family, since it was confessed by Tian Zhenzi, of course, it must take measures in time, if the Wang family dares to resist the official army, then they will sit down and rebel, if they are really wronged, Lone will also return his family's innocence."

Zheng Taiqing's face

Yibai said eagerly, "How can you believe Nada Mako's words? Didn't the report say that he had confessed to more than a dozen, this is obviously a random climbing......".

Zhao Mengqi smiled contemptuously and interrupted his later words, "Hehe... Is it climbing, only to find out after checking, there is no law to blame the public for the crime of rebellion, there is one counted, all for me to check the bottom of the day, by the way, there are many miners involved in this mess, probably this pit has rotted to the roots, and it is time to clean it up thoroughly...... Zhu Zuoji."

Hearing the roll call, Zhu Yi got up, "The minister is here, I don't know what His Highness commands."

Zhao Mengqi looked at him seriously, "You have always been upright, I will leave these things to you to investigate, what do you think?"

Your Highness shouldn't think I'm a bit in the way because of yesterday's incident, so you want to break me up, right?

A wry smile appeared at the corner of Zhu Yi's mouth, "The minister takes the order."

"Good." Zhao Mengqi nodded with satisfaction, and said, "I heard that Zhong, the former supervisor of the Yinchang Field, actually has a net worth of 100,000 yuan, how did such a huge amount of wealth come from? The problem here is obviously very big, so let's start with this Zhong, investigate carefully, investigate deeply, and deal with it strictly, no matter who is involved!"

"The minister understands that he will live up to His Highness's trust!" Zhu Yi did not hesitate and solemnly took over the task.

At this time, many people here became flustered in their hearts, and then heard Zhao Mengqi say, "The so-called people in the rivers and lakes, involuntarily, Lone also knows that the current officialdom is outdated, and it is not easy to clean himself, and Lone is not unkind, so I am willing to give everyone a chance to reform themselves, tomorrow will set up a copper scarf in the door of the Governor's Gate, and it is allowed to bootstrap, as long as the problem is explained clearly and the illegal gains are handed over, you can be exempted from accountability, I hope you will do it yourself!"

Next, Zhao Mengqi transferred Wen Tianxiang and more than a dozen Jinshi who should have entered the Department of Integrity and Integrity, as well as more than a dozen people from the Imperial City Division, as well as a battalion of Dongwei, to Zhu Yi's men.

An hour later, Zhu Yi left Fuzhou City with the freshly baked investigation team and rushed to Gutian by boat.

After dozens of officials from Fuzhou left Jiedu Mansion with heavy steps, some of them quietly gathered in the courtyard of Zhou Lian, the transit envoy.

Zheng Taiqing's face couldn't hide the panic, "Cao Envoy, what should we do now, you hurry up and get an idea, otherwise we will all be finished."

More than a dozen officials all looked at Zhou Lian, who was pacing back and forth in the hall.

Zhou Lian pulled his gray beard, his face was full of obscurity, "This Tian Zhenzi is really a waste, it's just a matter of getting things done, and he was actually caught alive and fucked him."

"It's all to blame for Zhong Genci's bastard thing, not only causing trouble and leaving his hands behind, but also raising a granddaughter like a stupid pig......" Zheng Taiqing was a little remorseful.

He is actually Chen Wei's old subordinate, and he has gone very smoothly through this relationship, and most of them have served in Fujian for more than 20 years.

It's just that Zheng Taiqing is very greedy for money, and he is especially good at the way of accumulation, and Zhong Genci followed his door to become a prisoner, which became one of his many interest chains.

As a pure corrupt official, he only likes gold and silver and does not like land, he originally didn't want to oppose King Yan, anyway, he should be Zhishi in a few years, and he is from Yangzhou, Fujian is not a matter of his.

But someone found him a month ago and used his corrupt handle as a threat to force him to join, and one of the biggest handles was Zhong Genci, which was also thanks to Zhong Genci's propaganda of his precious granddaughter, everyone knew how rich his family was, and naturally became a bright torch.

If Zhong Genci is investigated, then pull out the radish and bring out the mud, and the grasshoppers on the pit and smelting line will have to be pulled out, and the transfer department is the direct management agency of all pit and smelting in the road, so although Zhou Lian has nothing to do with Zhong Genci, he was also bypassed, and the crime is even more serious, because all pit and smelting have problems.

So such a corrupt group joined the action against Yan Wang half-pushed and half-pushed.

The attack on Gutian County was mainly to calculate King Yan, and by the way, he could also use the hands of thieves to wipe out Zhong Genqi's entire family.

How do you know that the wishful thinking failed, Tian Zhenzi, who was the liaison, was captured alive, and Zhong Genci also entered the sight of King Yan, and the situation became hot.

If it's just corruption, maybe they will really consider bootstrapping, but when it comes to rebellion, it's different, looking at King Yan's murderous appearance, it's really chilling.

Seeing that Zhou Lian and Zheng Taiqing didn't have any useful words for a long time, the transfer judge Li Zhi said impatiently, "What's the use of saying this at this time? Solve the immediate crisis first, and then ......."

"And what do you say you should do?" Zhou Lian and Zheng Taiqing spoke in unison.

Li Zhi's eyes flashed with a fierce light, "What else can I do, don't do it twice, become the king of Yan!"

Everyone was shocked, "You're crazy, that's a big crime for the Nine Clans!"

"Hehe, isn't the rebellion of the Nine Clans?" Li Zhi was sarcastic.

In fact, it is not necessarily, after all, although the Song Dynasty had the punishment of the nine clans in the law, it advocated the idea of prudent punishment and the preferential treatment of scholars, but in fact did not carry out the punishment of the nine clans, at least not in the historical data.

But if you really kill the crown prince of the dynasty, I'm afraid that you won't have to run away, and no matter how tolerant the dynasty is, you will be furious.

Li Zhi continued, "King Yan is really a master who can skin and cramp people, if we fall into his hands, it will be better to live than to die!"

Everyone couldn't help but shudder, "But he is heavily guarded, how can he be so easy to kill?"

"Have you forgotten the Left Wing?" Li replied.

Zheng Taiqing was stunned for a moment, "Left Wing Army? Although nominally the Criminal Division can command them, Nie Zhengsheng, the commander of the Left Wing Army, is Chen Wei's old fellow's henchman, and these days, Chen Wei has also sent his eldest son Chen Long to guard the camp, how can he use it?"

Li Zhi was confident, "The left wing army's gang of Qiu Ba, Wu Qi has done a lot of messy things, so which one of the upper and lower officials is not greedy? I don't know how moisturizing the days are. But Uncle Xie Fang reorganized the army as soon as he came, that is, he didn't have time to rectify the garrisons in various states, is this one of our Fuzhou willing to wait to be rectified? In fact, except for Nie Zhengsheng, the elm brain melon, everyone else has already been bought, just in case of emergency."

"Are you saying that as long as you try to get rid of Nie Zhengsheng, the Left Wing Army will be willing to be used by us?" Zhou Lian said happily.

Li Zhi nodded, "Exactly, I don't have time to talk about the details, anyway, the eight hundred people of the Left Wing Army can be used, in addition, there are actually five hundred private soldiers hidden outside the east of the city, there are so many soldiers enough to do great things, after the matter is completed, push the matter to the head of the bandits, let's do it cleanly, although we still have to be responsible, but without the killing star of King Yan, the court has changed back to the way it used to be, and there are still so many people who catch us, they may not be serious about us, the big deal is to lose our officials,......

"Good!" Zhou Lian immediately decided, "Let's quickly discuss the plan and do it tonight, so as not to have too many dreams at night!"
