Zhu Ming wantonly hunted and killed at the gate of the county ya, which not only made the people of the city solemn, but also confused the Qian and Sun families.

Let's put it this way, the two families of Qian and Sun didn't take Zhu Ming seriously at first.

Otherwise, this matter should be resolved through negotiation, at least the salute should be sent before the soldiers, and someone should be sent to talk to Zhu Ming.

They were used to being unscrupulous in the past, and the new Zhizhou arrested the Sun brothers, and their first reaction was to give Zhizhou a dismount. In the eyes of these guys, letting the underworld intimidate and intimidate at will, and all the scribes, soap officials, and archers stand by and watch, will inevitably scare Zhizhou into softening.

Ninety-nine percent of the officials will be deterred by this situation - that means that black and white are both black and white, and the Qian and Sun families have completely controlled the county government, and if they want to collect enough taxes, they must be honest and obedient.

They even waited at home, waiting for Zhu Ming to come to visit and make amends!

Who knew that the next script would not develop at all as they had envisioned.

"What is the origin of this surname Zhu?" Qian Jingde said in a daze.

Sun Zongfu was anxious: "I don't know, it's inexplicable." I've sent someone to Tokyo to inquire about this guy, and I'm afraid it will take a little longer. ”

In the eyes of these two people, Zhu Ming is a psychopath.

First of all, there was a problem with the appearance, Zhizhou did not go to Puzhou City to take office, but came to Lize County to worship Yaoling.

Even if you want to sacrifice, you should go to Puzhou first, handle the handover of work, and place your family in the state government. Then, in the form of an official document, inform Leize County of the specific date, so that the county can make all kinds of preparations, and by the way, make a fortune through the sacrifice.

Secondly, Zhu Ming not only took the opportunity to make money, but also cut the cost of sacrifices, re-demarcated the Yaoling forbidden area, and allowed the people to go into the mountains to collect sheep and graze sheep. How can anyone be such an official?

Again, after the sacrifice, let the squire react to the problem and arrest the Sun brothers without warning. How can there be such a wanton arrest of local tyrants?

In the end, it was that "bloody battle", the underworld came to scare and scare, did it use to kill dozens of people on the spot?

Qian Jingde guessed: "This surname Zhu, could it be Zheng Dang?" ”

Sun Zongfu nodded and said, "Very likely!" My uncle is a general under Prime Minister Cai, and he has become a thorn in Zheng Juzhong's side. Xiang Zhuang dances the sword, which is intended for Pei Gong. This surnamed Zhu seems to be arresting my brother, but in fact, the spearhead is directed at my uncle! ”

The two of them didn't think that Zhu Ming was stunned, because Zhu Ming's methods were too ruthless and smooth.

"Xianggong, Wang Sanlang asks to see."

"Invite him in!"

Wang Sanlang's name is Wang Changqing, and he is the nephew of Wang Keshu in the Ministry of Officials.

This person is studying in Taixue, because his mother is about to celebrate her fiftieth birthday, she asked for leave to go home more than a month in advance, and by the way, she has to marry the daughter of the Li family in Puzhou.

The Wang family does not live in Leize County, but in the southern part of Juancheng County, more than 20 miles away from Lize County.

Wang Changqing greeted each other, and then said: "When I returned to my hometown this time, in addition to celebrating my mother's birthday and fulfilling the marriage contract, I was also ordered to inform all the wang clans in Puzhou not to give the new Zhizhou a good look. The unfinished summer grain of all ethnic groups should not be handed over for the time being, so that the person surnamed Zhu will not be able to collect enough taxes. and then used the thieves to pretend to attack the state city, so that this guy was responsible for stirring up civil unrest. “

"Well, why didn't you come early!" Sun Zongfu sighed.

Wang Changqing said: "I went to Li's house in Juancheng first, and then rushed to Lize County non-stop. I heard the news again on the way, and the surname Zhu seems to have come here? ”

Sun Zongfu said: "It's been a few days, and I have arrested your two cousins in prison!" ”

Qian Jingde asked: "This person is Zheng Dang?" ”

Wang Changqing shook his head: "It's not Zheng Dang." This guy was last year's Tanhua, and he refused to propose marriage to Cai Xianggong, which already hated the Cai family. His father offered 10,000-year-old Ganoderma lucidum to please the official family, and Cai Xianggong couldn't take his father and son. It happened that he was released to Puzhou, and the little grandfather asked me to come back to arrange, so that this surnamed Zhu could not please in Puzhou. ”

Qian and Sun hurriedly told what had happened in the past few days.

Wang Changqing was surprised: "Is he so unscrupulous? ”

Qian Jingde said: "You have to think of a way to drive him away!" ”

Sun Zongfu said: "The magistrate and the county order also have to think of ways to get rid of them, and the two have already taken refuge with the surname Zhu." ”

Wang Changqing said: "The county magistrate and the county order are easy to handle, and it is enough to transfer to Guangnan and Jinghu to be officials." This surnamed Zhu is not easy to move, he is the governor of the official family, and he has to fabricate some criminal evidence. ”

Qian Jingde said with a smile: "Disobeying the emperor's order is a big crime. The imperial court did not allow the people to enter the mountain, but he demarcated the Yaoling forbidden area. What power does a Zhizhou have to plan Yaoling? This is a great sin of disrespect! ”

"Ahh

Wang Changqing clapped his hands and said: "Exceeding the system and planning Yaoling is really a big crime!" Don't act rashly, I'll write a letter and send it to the capital. ”

This guy immediately wrote a letter to record Zhu Ming's guilt.

First, they violated the rules and regulations, privately demarcated the Yaoling Forbidden Area, and shook the Great Song Dynasty.

Second, the mutilation of good people. Gao Huaguang was a great benevolent person in Leize County, but he was indiscriminately killed by Zhu Ming on the streets. Sun Zongzhen and Sun Zongdan brothers, one is the head of the capital who has made meritorious contributions to the arrest of thieves, and the other is a law-abiding and honest squire, all of whom were arrested by Zhu Ming and put in prison.

Third, kill the good and take the risk. Dozens of innocent people were killed by Zhu Ming as thieves.

After Wang Changqing finished writing the letter, he immediately asked his henchmen to send it to the capital. Then he rushed back to Juancheng County to inform the Li family to get ready and not to give Zhu Ming a handle.

The day after this guy left, Wei Dian came to the door with archers.

"Vertical Zier dare!"

Qian Jingde was furious and scolded: "The ancestor of my family, with Emperor Taizu, is the one who can be bullied by untouchables like you?" ”

Wei Dian took out the arrest document: "In the first year of Chongning, Qian Hui (the son of Qian Jingde) was drunk and quarreled with people in Lize County, and instructed the domestic slaves to beat the scholar Shen Huaiyu, causing Shen Huaiyu to die of serious injuries. ”

In the fourth year of Chongning, Qian Heng was outside Shanhua Temple and teased Zhang Kuan's wife Fan in public. Zhang Kuan stepped forward to stop him, and was beaten to the point of being seriously injured by Qian Heng's domestic slaves, so he forcibly robbed Zhang Kuan's wife Fan as a concubine. Fan's Zhenlie died by hanging. ”

"Chongning Five-Year ......"

One murder case after another was reported, and Qian Jingde's son, Qian Hui, had seven lives on his hands.

Qian Jingde sneered: "These cases have been closed, and they are pure false accusations." Even if it is to be retried, the Puzhou Administrator's Court should be responsible, even the governor does not have the power to interfere. The head of Leize County, dare to go against the imperial court system to arrest people? ”

Wei Dian said: "The retrial is a matter for the Administrator's Court, but it is my matter for arresting people. Zhizhou has an order, let me arrest Qian Heng and transfer him to the Judicial Institute for retrial! ”

"Qian Daguan, you haven't said anything about what you have done."

"In the second year of Yuanfu, you colluded with the monks of Shanhua Temple to occupy more than 600 acres of land, and all of them became the temple fields of Shanhua Temple. Afterwards, only 100 acres of land were cultivated by Shanhua Temple. There are more than 500 acres left, all of which are rented by the Qian family. ”

"In the first year of the founding of the Yasukuni Kingdom, the magistrate county provided relief to the victims with work, reclaimed more than 1,200 acres of wasteland, and a nearby irrigation canal, all of which were forcibly occupied by you."

"The first year of Chongning......"

Listening to these old things, Qian Jingde didn't even bother to quibble, and said sharply: "If you have the guts, come and arrest people!" ”

"What don't you dare? Take! Wei Dian yelled.

Wei Dian used to be the capital of Weizhuang, led the villagers to defeat the thieves, and killed two thieves with his own hands.

Those thieves have collusion with the Sun family.

The Sun family fabricated charges and sent Wei Dian to Hebei, causing Wei Dian to be lame.

Whether it is the Sun family or the Qian family, Wei Dian hates him to death, and he wants to take revenge if he risks his life.

Deng Chun was arranged to be an archer in Leize County, and was specifically responsible for catching people.

As soon as Wei Dian gave the order, Deng Chun rushed forward with the archers. The slave of the Qian family wanted to stop it, but Deng Chun smashed it with a long stick, knocked down a few on the spot, and grabbed Qian Jingde, who was fleeing in panic, and clamped it under his armpit.

Qian Jingde was finally frightened, and shouted in horror: "How dare you? My ancestor is the founding general! ”

I can't figure out why Zhu Ming dared to arrest the descendants of Xungui until now.

For days, they were arresting people.

Sun Zongfu was also arrested and reunited with Sun Zongzhen and Sun Zongdan in prison.

The county jail was full, and Zhu Ming simply released a group of gangsters, and those little minions just hit the board.

All those who should be arrested have been arrested, and Zhu Ming should also leave, personally escorting the main criminals to the state city for trial.

The rest of the matter was left to the three county officials.

The county ordered Wang Jin, who was responsible for hearing the remaining cases, continuing to collect confessions and evidence, and transferring them to the state court and the judicial court after the trial.

Cao Yuangui, the county magistrate, and Geng Dingchen, the chief bookkeeper, are responsible for clearing the land. The talkers of the Sun Qian family have been arrested by Zhu Ming, and they started to clear the land of these two families.

The more hidden fields of the big families are cleared, the less taxes the small people will have to bear.

Li Bao and Bai Sheng rode horses to open the way in front, Zhu Ming rode horses, and Zheng Yuanyi and the maid sat in the carriage. Behind him was Wei Dian with archers, escorting hundreds of prisoners, all of whom carried bows and crossbows to prevent thieves from robbing the prisoners along the way.

The long line headed straight for the north gate.

The people of the whole city came to watch, and when they saw the wicked people of the Sun Qian family, they were really arrested by Zhizhou, and from time to time some people hid and applauded.

They all regard Zhizhou as the master of the blue sky, but the remnants of the Sun and Qian families are still there, and the common people are still afraid, worried that those wicked people will be acquitted.

Many of the gentry and merchants in the county came to see the excitement. Their emotions were complicated, they were both respectful and afraid of Zhu Ming, and they were also worried that they would also be cleared.

In the crowd, there were even thieves.

"Big brother, this is a good official."

"What's the use of being a good officer? After a few years, he left, and he had to change to a corrupt official. ”

"Life is better than a few years."

"A good life has nothing to do with us, who made us robbers?"

"Big brother, I want to follow Zhizhou to do things."

"Don't laugh, he's an official, you're a thief, I'll arrest you if you go."

"But I want to try, maybe I can run for a future. Big brother, I'm gone. ”

"You're really going, come back quickly!"

“……”

A thief squeezed out of the crowd and chased Zhu Mingfei out of the city.

When he arrived at the outskirts, he bypassed the long line and ran all the way to the official road in front of him, kneeling in the middle of the official road in a daze.

Zhu Ming thought that someone stopped the driver and shouted injustice, and ordered: "Let him come." ”

The thief was brought to Zhu Ming by Bai Sheng and knelt down again.

Zhu Ming said: "If you have any grievances, go back to the city to find the county order." ”

The man said: "My name is Yang Pu, and I used to be a good person, but I was forced to be a thief by the government. Zhizhou is a good official, and I want to follow Zhizhou to do things. ”

Zhu Ming couldn't help but smile and asked: "If the thief dares to come to the official, he is not afraid of arresting you?" ”

"Don't be afraid, although I am a thief, I only rob the rich, not the poor." Yang Pu said it confidently, and his tone was very proud, as if he was not guilty of only robbing the rich.

Zhu Ming summoned Wei Dian: "This person's name is Yang Pu, and he is a thief, do you know him?" ”

Wei Dian shook his head: "I don't recognize it." ”

Most of them are unknowns, and there are countless such thieves in Shandong.

Zhu Ming asked again: "What are you capable of?" ”

Yang Pu replied: "I run fast, and I can climb trees and walls." Every time I went into the city to inquire about the news, I was sent to pretend to be a woodcutter, and often climbed over the wall to steal from the rich people's homes. ”

"If you follow me in the future, don't do anything wrong." Zhu Ming accepted this person, and the rooster and dog thief were also useful.

"Thank you for taking me in!" Yang Pu happily joined the team.

The crowd continued on their way.

Xu Er, the leader of the horse bandits, stood on a dirt hill and watched them go farther and farther.

"Second brother, don't you do it?" A horse bandit asked.

Xu Er asked rhetorically: "Why do you want to do it?" ”

The horse bandit said: "In the past, there were brothers who were arrested, and it was the Sun family who helped release them. This time the Sun family is in trouble, and we should also repay the kindness. ”

Xu Er sneered: "I deserve to be caught, and the fool will save it." This Zhizhou is not easy to deal with, so you must be careful in the future. Let the brethren rest well, and let the evening begin! ”

"Didn't you say you wouldn't save people?" The bandit wondered.

"We are robbers, of course we are going to rob things," Xu Er said, "The three brothers of the Sun family have been arrested, and they just took the opportunity to rob the Sun family, where there are many gold and silver treasures." ”

Zhu Ming went all the way unimpeded, but it was the Sun family who was ransacked by horse bandits at night.

I don't know how much property was robbed, but I only know that most of the Sun family's ancestral house was burned down by a fire.
