Outside the government,

Lord Zhao looked at the crowd of black pressure, and his whole jaw was about to fall off!

Although he is nominally the chief official of Wuzhou, anyone with a discerning eye can see that he speaks in Wuzhou, and no one cares at all.

His status as the chief official is just an empty shell.

Mo said that it was the four major families, even some local wealthy families in Wuzhou, he couldn't afford to offend.

Because of this, this Lord Zhao has been working as a mason since he became the chief official of Wuzhou.

Not to mention the mud everywhere, and even from time to time, I miss work or something.

Of course, no one will blame him for this situation in Jiangnan. After all, Jiangnan's autonomy already existed at the beginning of the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Although many emperors later wanted to reduce the existence of wealthy families in Jiangnan.

But unsurprisingly, they all ended in failure.

Therefore, it can be said that only those who have lost power in their careers will be arranged to serve as chief officials in places like Jiangnan.

This basically means that their career has come to an end.

And this Lord Zhao, because he didn't deal with Lin Chunqiu at the beginning, said a few fair words, but was thrown to Wuzhou by Lin Chunqiu.

At the beginning, Lord Zhao also had resentment and depression.

But gradually, he got used to staying in Wuzhou.

Not only does he not have to worry about things, but those wealthy families will also send him a sum of silver on a regular basis.

With such a nourishing life, there is no shortage of beautiful wives and concubines.

This Lord Zhao is also a character who can afford to put it down. Soon became one with the wealthy families in Jiangnan.

And his dilapidated yard is just for others to see.

In fact, he has his own mansions in the three big cities of Wuzhou.

It's just that at this moment, Lord Zhao looked at the Xu family outside the mansion and couldn't help but widen his eyes!

"The head of the Xu family? Little master? ”

"What are you doing outside the palace? If there is anything, just arrange a house slave to call the official. You ......"

Before Lord Zhao could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the head of the Xu family.

"Lord Zhao, don't gossip. We came here today to surrender ourselves. ”

"What are you talking about, Master Xu??"

Lord Zhao was stunned, and for a while, his brain didn't turn around.

Seeing this, the young master of the Xu family immediately became a little impatient, he glared at Lord Zhao fiercely, and said:

"Why, you can't understand people?"

"Our Xu family came to the government to surrender!"

"More than ten years ago, there was a tax and silver case in the capital, which was planned by our Xu family."

As soon as these words came out, Lord Zhao looked confused again.

"Little Master, what are you talking about?"

"What a tax and silver case, this official has never heard of! At this moment, so many people are watching, why don't we go to Xufu to communicate? ”

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding people opened their mouths and cursed.

"What kind of chief, you are the Xu family's dog leg at all!"

"That's it! The Xu family has done a lot of evil over the years, and as the chief official of Wuzhou, you really don't care about anything? ”

"Dog officer, are you worthy of Your Majesty?"

For the insults of the people, Lord Zhao has long been accustomed to it. He even smiled and waved his hand at the people. It's like a style that is not ashamed, but proud.

When the surrounding people saw this, they all hated it.

At this moment, the head of the Xu family spoke.

"Lord Zhao, don't talk about it, you better handle the case according to the regular process."

"As for the tax and silver case...... It doesn't matter if you don't know, it won't be long before someone takes over the case. ”

After saying this, the face of the head of the Xu family turned a little pale.

The rest of the Xu family also sighed lightly, with inexplicable grief and indignation on their faces.

After all, Lord Zhao is a feudal official, although he is just a paper shell, his understanding of the way of observing words and colors is far beyond that of ordinary people.

Hearing the words of the Xu family master, he changed the frivolity on his face, but frowned, and said with a serious face:

"Since your Xu family is here to surrender, then the official can only act in accordance with the law of my Great Zhou."

"Come on, take them to court!"

As soon as these words came out, the onlookers exclaimed. And those of the government also did not act immediately, but looked suspiciously in the direction of Lord Zhao.

Seeing this, Lord Zhao also showed embarrassment on his face.

He can't even command the arrest of his own government, and there is no one who can do his part as an official, right?

Seeing the crowd, the head of the Xu family nodded lightly without a trace.

Seeing this, those catchers relaxed their tense expressions one by one and began to act.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you can slow down!"

"There is a threshold here, gentlemen, please be careful with the soles of your feet......"

Seeing these arrests and escorts, the people's faces were extremely pale.

This horse is escorting prisoners?

How does it look, it looks like an old bustard who solicits guests in the green building.

However, the catchers of the Wuzhou Mansion have also practiced the copper wall and iron surface.

They didn't even bother to pay attention to the discussions of the people around them, so they "escorted" the Xu family to the court.

At this moment, Lord Zhao was already sitting under the mirror.

He swept his eyes around the Xu family and said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you have anything to explain?"

When the head of the Xu family heard this, he shook his head lightly and said:

"Lord Zhao, the tax and silver case was planned by our Xu family. We don't have much to say about the rest. ”

"According to the laws of the Great Zhou, you should put us in prison and send us to the frontier in three days!"

"Ah???h

When Lord Zhao heard this, the expression on his face stiffened slightly.

He was just about to ask, is this sentence too harsh?

But in the next second, he saw the serious expression of the Xu family master.

So after a little muttering, he spoke:

"Although the Xu family voluntarily surrendered, the tax and silver case is a matter of great importance and has an extremely bad impact."

"Come on, put the Xu family in prison, and three days later, send the frontier!"

As soon as these words came out, whether it was the people watching outside or the fast arresters standing above the court, they were all stunned.

"This Xu family is up and down, aren't they all crazy?"

"Took the initiative to surrender, and also took the initiative to ask for the distribution of the frontier, the family business they have accumulated over the years, just don't want it?"

"Crazy, they must be all crazy!"

Listening to everyone's discussions, Lord Zhao frowned slightly.

He always felt that this matter was strange everywhere.

But his identity can't even command the catch under his hands, so what can he do?

Just as he was secretly thinking to himself, the voice of the head of the Xu family sounded again in the public court.

"Lord Zhao, I wonder if I can take a step to speak?"

As soon as these words came out, Lord Zhao's eyes lit up instantly.

"Of course, next ...... I can't ask for it! ”
