Chen Xiufan was originally dealing with things in the mansion, when he suddenly heard that someone came to report that his son and the person had a conflict in Tingyue Pavilion.

Chen Xiufan didn't care about it, his son knew that conflicts with people were common, but later he overheard that there was an abnormality in Yuzhang's camp, and his cronies were sent to the mountains to suppress bandits.

Chen Xiufan keenly felt the smell of conspiracy, and regardless of whether it was a fight or not, he took the official and went to Tingyue Pavilion.

Chen Xiufan, who arrived at this moment, saw that his son was so frightened that he peed his pants, and his heart couldn't help but be on fire, and then shouted angrily: "Who are you? Dare to make a mistake here. ”

Wei Ran glanced at Chen Xiufan, and then said, "Mrs. Chen guards the great official authority, if you don't come to Benben to be fair, I'm going to look for you." ”

Before he came, Chen Xiufan was still lucky, but after hearing Wei Ran's words, all Chen Xiufan's luck came to naught in an instant.

He knew that Wei Ran left Jiankang to visit Tuduan, but he didn't expect that he would choose Yuzhang for the first stop, and everyone rumored that Wei Ran would go to the land of Sanwu.

Because the three counties are big taxpayers, but he ignored one point, that is, Wei Ran's hatred for Lu Cao has spread to the entire Yuzhang clan.

Chen Xiufan put away his nervousness, and then said calmly: "I don't know what the crime of the dog is, let Qin Gong fight like this." ”

"Molesting the Duchess of Ben, intending to kill the Duchess, it is not a pity to die." Wei Ran said coldly.

"Duke Qin laughed, how can a dog have the ability to hurt Duke Qin." Chen Xiufan categorically does not believe this reason.

But then Wei Ran actually made a move that Chen Xiufan didn't expect, Wei Ran raised his sword and cut a bloody mark on his arm, and then said, "Now Lord Chen is credible?" ”

Yuan Shu hurriedly asked Wei Ran to deal with the wound, and looked at Wei Ran with reproachful eyes, obviously the overall situation had been decided, why did he have to do more.

Chen Xiufan never expected that Wei Ran, the Duke of Qin who was powerful in the Southern Dynasty, would act so shamelessly. couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, he couldn't understand what Wei Ran wanted to do for a while.

Hua Lian in the distance sighed and said: "Duke Qin is Duke Qin, and he never gives people a way to live." ”

Hearing that the steward of the Moon Pavilion was already frightened at this moment, he hurriedly said, "This person is Duke Qin?" Why didn't you say it earlier? ”

Hua Lian ignored him, and just said to herself: "Hey, do you really have to go back to Jiankang, you really don't want to go back to Jiankang at all." ”

At this time, the expression on Chen Xiufan's face was cloudy, and then his eyes gradually changed from fear to fierceness, now Wei Ran has four or five people, what is the difficulty of killing him here.

Looking at Chen Xiufan's face, Wei Ran shouted in his heart: "Hurry up, hurry up and kill my father, my father just wants to destroy your whole clan." ”

When Chen Xiufan was about to make a move, he suddenly saw Wei Ran's eyes with a hint of excitement, and then Chen Xiufan thought of Yu Zhangjun's movements, and was suddenly shocked, he thought of the worst possibility.

When Chen Xiufan's eyes changed from fierce to depressed, Chen Xiufan's hand fell weakly, and then knelt down and said: "The lower official is guilty and should be punished." ”

From the moment Chen Xiufan knelt down, Wei Ran also sighed in his heart, and then Wei Ran ordered Gao Xiaoshun to let Qiao Zhuang's five hundred Yuzhang troops enter the city to control the prison and the mansion, and then ordered the family general to go to the Yuzhang camp outside the city, so that Zhang Da could be transferred back to Chen Xiufan's cronies who were sent out to suppress bandits.

As for Tingyue Pavilion, it was confiscated on the grounds that Wei Ran had tried to kill the Duke of the Dynasty.

The girl was brought back to the government as a witness.

Chen Xiufan and Chen Yan were in prison at the moment, looking at Chen Yan, Chen Xiufan sighed helplessly.

Chen Yan hurriedly knelt down and kept kowtowing to admit his mistake, Chen Xiufan glanced at Chen Yan, and said slowly: "Although you were wrong in the past, you are not at fault in today's affairs." ”

Chen Yan was puzzled, and Chen Xiufan said: "The policy of breaking the earth, we have exploited the loopholes of the laws of the imperial court, although Wei Ran knows that we are in violation of the yang and yin, but after all, there is no way to directly punish our crimes." ”

Then Chen Xiufan told Chen Yan eloquently.

At this moment, in the Yuzhang Mansion, Wei Ran said to Yuan Shu: "The matter of Daqi Qianzhuang is widely implicated, and the imperial court tax silver is put into Daqi Qianzhuang and used as principal silver. Subsequently, each county established a semicolon, and each state set a super-branch, and at the same time, the tax was also exchanged for silver taels from Daqi Qianzhuang and transported to Jiankang, but in this way, the situation of greed for ink was extremely serious. ”

Although Yuan Shu did not participate in the government affairs, when he heard Wei Ran say this, he understood the reason: "The local government exchanged ninety taels for one hundred taels of silver tickets, but the court had to use one hundred taels to cash in on this silver ticket." In this way, the difference in the middle is also greedy. ”

"It has only been more than a month since the establishment of Daqi Qianzhuang, but it has formed an unspoken rule-like exchange path, which is really shocking." Wei Ran was already frowning at the moment, he was not good at economic matters, and this matter had to be handled by Yuan Muzhi and Zhang Zemao.

In the prison cell, Chen Xiufan said: "The matter of Qianzhuang is widely implicated, and even the vassal kings have joined it, so Wei Ran will not act rashly." That's why I'm going to find you trouble today. ”

"But it's obviously the Qin Gong who the child went to provoke first."

Looking at this stupid son, Chen Xiufan really wanted to beat him, but he still said patiently: "Wei Ran is waiting for you there on purpose, he has found out your temperament and deliberately created conflicts, he is now a concubine of the dynasty, and he is a first-class Qin Gong, if he is injured by you, our whole family will have to go to prison." ”

"But he hurt himself."

"Confused, as long as he is injured, then he can only assume that you are injured." Chen Xiufan shouted angrily.

Chen Yan also understood at this moment, Wei Ran just used the method of the Second Ancestor to deal with the Second Ancestor, and he didn't reason with you at all.

Chen Xiufan sighed: "This is the terrible place of Wei Ran, now he is in a high position, he is in power, and he controls the soldiers and horses in the world. But such a person has no reason to behave and do things. The father wanted to kill him for a moment, but when the father saw Wei Ran's eyes, the father knew that he would not be able to succeed. ”

Chen Xiufan stood up at this moment, looked at the window outside the cell and said, "As long as the father does it, he will be killed." Wei Ran and His Majesty's hatred for Lu Cao is engraved in their bones. Our Yuzhang County used to be Lu Cao's base camp, and I should have thought that he would definitely take action against the Yuzhang Shi clan. ”

Wei Ran was lying on the bed at the moment, hugged Yuan Shu and said: "Among the southern scholars, the scholars of Linhai, Danyang, Huiji and Wujun have all suffered two rounds of purges, and their strength is gone. Only this Yuzhang County is deeply rooted, and the style of the scholars is still very strong. ”

Wei Ran then turned around and said: "Today, I deliberately sold the flaw, just to attract Chen Xiufan to kill, but in this way, Chen Xiufan is a hundred times stronger than Lu Cao, no wonder he can become the leader of Yuzhang after the fall of the Lu family." ”

Yuan Shu said in a low voice: "But now Chen Xiufan has not been tricked, although he is imprisoned, at most he will be dismissed from office and taken from office, and it will not hurt the root." Now the Yuzhang County scholars have incorporated the people into slavery, and this matter is the top priority of the husband. ”

Wei Ran listened, sighed slightly, and then called softly: "Sleep." ”

Early the next morning, Wei Ran mentioned Chen Xiufan to the palace, Chen Xiufan looked at Wei Ran in the hall, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Wei Ran looked at Chen Xiufan who was kneeling on the ground, and said coldly: "Chen Xiufan, the court ordered you to push the earth and break the law, you are guilty of violating the yang and yin, what should you be guilty of?" ”

Seeing this, Chen Xiufan said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "How can the lower officials disobey the yang and the yin?" But there are no men of working age in the homes of the people who can give them land. ”

Seeing this, Wei Ran ignored it, and then waved his hand, and more than ten people were escorted in outside the mansion, all of whom were the second ancestors of the Yuzhang clan.

Chen Xiufan's face remained unchanged, but he said indifferently: "What is Gong Qin going to do?" ”

"Chen Taishou, this father asks you, everyone in the hall has no king's law, molesting a woman from a good family, as a county guard, why do you ignore it?"

"There is no one to redress the grievances, and the official does not know the details."

"No one dares to avenge their grievances." Wei Ran said fiercely.

"Now that the knife is in the hands of Duke Qin, Duke Qin feels so, that's it, what else does the lower official have to say."

Chen Xiufan was secretly surprised when he saw Wei Ran take down so many people, he knew the behavior of some of them, but some people didn't seem to have such behavior, but they were all important descendants of the Yuzhang clan, Chen Xiufan couldn't help but start to speculate about Wei Ran's intentions.

Wei Ran dispatched the Yuzhang army overnight last night to arrest all the descendants of the main clan of Yuzhang, no matter whether he is innocent, he naturally has a special intention.

At this time, the palace suddenly became quiet, because Wei Ran did not speak, and Chen Xiufan did not speak, so the rest of the second ancestors did not dare to speak.

"Chen Taishou knows, what is this father waiting for?" Wei Ran said.

"I don't know."

Wei Ran sighed slightly: "Since ancient times, doctors have not been punished, so the children of the family have Meng Yin, and they basically will not be punished, but it is quite inappropriate to do nothing now." ”“

Just when Chen Xiufan was puzzled, Wei Ran ordered Chen Yan to be brought up, and then the execution began.

In front of Chen Xiufan, Chen Yan let out a miserable scream, how could he, who had been pampered since he was a child, survive the destruction of water and fire sticks, and he was beaten to the flesh after a short time.

Then Wei Ran waved his hand and replaced Yang Wei to come, which was also a beating, but he was worse than Chen Yan, and Wei Ran also used other punishments.

Then Wei Ran randomly selected another person and began to punish him.

Soon the news of Wei Ran's execution in the government spread all over Yuzhang, and the scholars in Yuzhang County couldn't sit still and began to gather people to prepare to go to the government to protest with Wei Ran.

At this time, Wei Ran also stopped moving, and then looked at Chen Xiufan and said: "Lord Chen has always been smart, do you guess that now, those scholars are still sitting?" ”
