People who have been county governors can clearly feel Hai Rui's ability, which is really strong, Wang Qian's little work, most of them play a role in finding clues, and it is always Hai Rui who really catches corrupt officials.

The basic social form of the Ming Dynasty is in a state of stability and out of control contradictions, which is more understandable, that is, the big evil people are in charge of the little evil people.

After passing the Jinshi examination, he continued to run in Beijing, and finally took refuge in someone's name, obtained an official status from the ministry, and went to a certain place to serve as the county governor.

Without a master, it is difficult to move an inch with the family.

When you arrive at the place, you will find that it is by no means easy to manage the land of a county.

The officials of a county only have the magistrate of the county, and there are only seven people who lead the imperial court, except for the magistrate, namely: the county magistrate, the chief bookkeeper, the patrol arrest, the tax ambassador, the priest, and the post officer, and these people will never be of the same heart and mind as the magistrate, because these people are all locals.

Local officials, different customs and customs, whether they are polite or not, regardless of for the time being, but it is definitely a community of interests.

A county government is not only seven people, but also three classes and six rooms, and the number of officials in some places is as high as thousands, these are also locals, and the officials are like grates.

The magistrate is a dragon crossing the river, and except for the magistrate, all the people are the head snakes.

In this environment, the arrest of criminals is like a joke, it is the norm to torture and beat, the summer and autumn taxes, each collection is like going to the countryside to loot, and armed tax resistance is not uncommon, and even the outbreak of civil unrest in the state and county, and most of the characters such as the complaining sticks, brokers, and compradors are the tongues of the gentry.

The staff is unreliable, so they need a master, and the officials are unreliable, so they need to follow the family.

When you go to a place to be a magistrate, the first problem you face is the thousands of people under your command, taking Linzi County as an example, there are 4,000 servants, there are 200 clerks in three classes and six rooms, and only 100,000 stone of grain is required for a year.

The magistrate will be confused, there are only a dozen scattered people in the third class and six rooms, how can so many people be sent when they are paid? It is true that there are only a dozen scribes who work, but there are more than 200 people who receive money, and these people who do not work also have to receive money, for all kinds of strange reasons, such as being sick, traveling to study, and doing filial piety before the sickbed, etc., this is the norm, and eating empty salaries is not only between the army.

When the magistrate is ready to take drastic measures to clean up these empty moths, everyone will persuade and persuade, you are the magistrate, if you don't listen to persuasion, you will be a fart in the future.

Hai Rui is known for his incorruptibility, as the governor of Yingtian, there is neither a master nor a long-term follower, and when he arrives at Yingtianfu, he will promote profits and eliminate harm, build water conservancy, renovate the Wusong River, reduce postal and redundant fees, deprive related households of horse cards, clean zhang, and investigate the corruption and merger of Xu Jie.

Therefore, Hai Rui is very capable, Wang Qian found that inextricable clues, and when they were in the hands of others, they were just clues, but in the hands of Hai Rui, they became a piece of greedy ink stele in the happy stele forest outside Chaoyang Gate.

This is also the reason why the local wang clan in Sichuan relaxed their vigilance against Wang Qian, they are the head snakes of the land, they have been the head snakes for so many years, no matter who comes to their territory, even the dragon has to be coiled for me, and the tiger has to lie down for me!

What's wrong with Zhang Juzheng's protégé, then Sichuan Governor Luo Yao is not only a protégé, but also a fellow villager, and when he arrives at the border of Sichuan, he still has to be in the same stream with them?

In addition to Wang Qian's wandering behavior along the way, the wang clan decided that this was their own person, because Wang Qian behaved like his own person in all aspects.

The emperor gave a holy decree to Wang Qian to handle the case, how to reply, it is not a matter of Wang Qian's words? Most importantly, this is also a great opportunity for the Jin Party to expand its influence in Sichuan. Although the Jin Party and the Zhang Party are not life-and-death in the court, they are constantly fighting with each other, such a good opportunity, Wang Qian, as Wang Chonggu's only son, has to plot no matter what.

For the luxury households, to put it mildly, even Liu Xian, the chief soldier of Sichuan, is also his own person, Liu Xian is a martial artist who impersonated himself in Sichuan, and his military merits in Sichuan became a deputy thousand households.

No matter from which angle you look at it, you can confidently shout: The advantage is mine!

Wang Qian arrived at the place, and the governor Wang Tingzhan had a big quarrel, and then immediately feasted the Quartet, invited the luxury households to have fun, naturally got everyone's response, you Wang Tingzhan is bent on implementing the strict government of the imperial court, looking forward to the imperial court to give you more support, the support of the imperial court is coming, it is a local gilded son, these noble families to Huayang Mansion to learn to eat, not to see Wang Tingzhan's liveliness.

The country of abundance, fertile fields for thousands of miles, fertile fields, rich people, and abundant accumulation.

But Wang Qian went to Chengdu Mansion, what he saw and heard in Shu, all the way along the way, he saw a lot of bones beside the dead road, the local heroes were forced to expropriate and expropriate, and the people he saw were struggling with hunger and death, and the people he saw were all unclothed, hungry, and fertile fields for thousands of miles, which were indeed fertile fields, but they were all overgrown with weeds, the cultivated land was deserted, and the famine was in front of him.

Wang Qian, who left the first good place in Beijing, finally faced the tragic situation in the world for the first time.

Wang Qian knows a word called road down, that is, people are hungry and faint, walking, suddenly falling to the ground, and then never standing up again, after entering Shu, Wang Qian witnessed it several times.

For the first time, he finally thoroughly understood why His Majesty had unreserved support for Zhang Juzheng.

Qingzhang returned to the field, only four words, but it is the only vitality of the people, and it is also the only opportunity for the Ming Dynasty to survive and be strong.

The reasons for the abandonment of cultivated land are extremely complex, such as annexation, excesses and miscellaneous taxes, tax evasion, and apportionment, the unspeakable suffering of the people, and the precariousness of the Ming Dynasty.

After Wang Qian entered Shu from Baima, he saw a village called Shenghua Village, in this village, there was no man, all were women and children, after careful inquiry, Wang Qian learned the reason from the Tiqi Qianhu, the local county hall in the name of conscription and labor, gathered the strong men for the wang clan to cultivate, and the men all fled to the mountains, and fell into the grass.

August 15 of the eighth year of Wanli, the Mid-Autumn Festival, the bright moon hangs high in the sky, Chengdu is a peaceful atmosphere in the house, Chengdu is the largest metropolis in the entire southwest, it has always been prosperous, the bright moon sprinkled a layer of silver and white, sprinkled on the scattered streets, the shops are lined up one after another, the high cars and horses are flowing endlessly on the streets, and they are gathering towards Huayang schools.

Wang Qian stood on the high pavilion of the school, watched the cars drive into the school, and showed a gentle smile.

"That's Yang Ningren of the Xindu Yang Clan?" Wang Qian looked at a figure, the Yang family's carriage arrived, and Yang Ningren came in person, which was quite pompous.

Zhao Qianhu nodded and said: "Yes, the new capital Yang family has four mansions in Chengdu Mansion, the largest of which is located on the north side of Zhengfu Street in Qingyuan Gate, about forty acres, with floors and pavilions, swinging in the air, there are two hundred and thirty-four musicians in the mansion, everyone has a beautiful appearance, singing and dancing all night long, advocating excellent and glamorous, E's beauty, skirt and family, the woman next to Yang Ningren is the master of the house, called Luo Xiangxian. ”

The new capital Yang has 17 shops in Chengdu Mansion, strange things, all-encompassing, there are three restaurants, it is the largest restaurant in Shu and also the wine distribution place in Shuzhong, Yang Ningren has a family of 200, this is the servant in the Yang house, there are lackeys in the city Taihehui, is a gang, the number of more than 3,000, there are nearly 1,000 people in the government official documents, all are Yang's lackeys.

Does the Shu Wangfu care? The feudal ban is in, and the Shu Wangfu even has to apply to the emperor for the door to leave the palace, and often does not get approval and response.

Wang Qian looked at Luo Xiangxian, the master of the house, and shook his head, but so, there is a beautiful lady in the Yongsheng woolen official factory, called Liu Qiniang, who used to be the head of Yanxinglou before the woolen official factory was not prosperous, that look, Wang Qian has seen a lot of beauties, and he wants to take a few more looks, but he has never seen it, because it is His Majesty's person, and the entire official factory is very clear.

The people Feng Bao sent to the official factory for resettlement, whether they have a relationship or not, should have a relationship.

In Wang Qian's eyes, this Luo Xiangxian is beautiful, but it is far inferior to Liu Qiniang, who was still in Yanxing Building, and even worse than Liu Qiniang now.

This Luo Xiangxian is too dusty.

The curtain opened, after everyone sat down, the lights on the stage were bright, several beauties sat on the stage, each holding a musical instrument in their hands, the woman at the head of the group, holding the erhu in her hand, this is a famous family in the south of the Yangtze River, it is Wang Qian who borrowed Songjiang Sun's family.

In the night, the ancient stage seemed to be sprinkled with a layer of silver powder by the moonlight, looking solemn and mysterious.

The master adjusted his posture and gently pulled the strings, the melodious music was like a trickle, slowly smudged in the night, the music began to rise, like a breeze blowing willows, with a trace of pathos, the tone suddenly opened, like a storm, and like an iron horse glacier into a dream, it seems to be a certain story, telling it.

The lyrics are "from the army", the song is called "Flower Good Moon", is one of the movements composed by the president of the Ming Royal Gewu Academy, King Zhu Zaiyu, one of the designated movements of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the world's singing and dancing is leveled, and the sacrifice and dedication of the soldiers who cannot be killed on the border are far away from the hinterland, because the war happened on the border, and the military line and the full moon are closely linked together.

Zhu Zaiyu's talent in music is definitely the best in the world, of course, the biggest regret of the imperial uncle Zhu Zaiyu is that when he was a teenager, he did not cultivate His Majesty's musical cells, and His Majesty was never interested in these.

In this song, there is the ancient city of the border fortress, there is the fortress of Xiongguan, there is the cold ambition of the soldiers guarding the border, there is also the distant marquis of the pier who does not close the guard at night, the figure of galloping on the grassland, and there is also the coastal defense inspection, chopping waves in the sea, and the song is over, and the applause comes and goes.

The lights on the stage became dim, and when it was bright again, the stage was replaced by the beauties of all countries, a total of twelve beauties, pinching their waists, raising their heads, holding their swan necks, wearing extremely bold clothes, ready to go, this is also the program in the Songjiang Sun's painting boat borrowed by Wang Qian, with the cheerful music sounding, a big white leg swaying on the stage is extremely dazzling, with the action, the expression that has been professionally trained continues to change with the dance, shaking the hips and hips, all kinds of styles, bewitching, charming like the wind.

Anyone who looks at this thing is a big confusion when they look at it.

Wang Qian, a person who is accustomed to luxury, when he watched this international beauty performance for the first time, it was also an eye-opener, the Sichuan atmosphere has always been closed, and the singing and dancing music is slightly conservative, this scene is really unseen.

Luo Xiangxian's fists were clenched, these beauties of all countries were really burning! Burn more than her! Eighty percent of men like this, and two out of ten people are hard-mouthed.

"Did you do it?" Wang Qian clutched the wine glass in his hand, the knights had already prepared, as long as the cup in Wang Qian's hand fell, it would be a bloody storm.

According to the agreement, when these people gather together, Liu Xian, the chief soldier of the Sichuan Metropolitan Division, will be ordered by the messenger of the Son of Heaven to purge the families and gangs in Chengdu Mansion.

Sichuan Governor Wang Tingzhan, Wang Qian is not worried, Wang Tingzhan has already made a choice at the beginning of the impeachment of Luo Yao, and he has no way out.

But Liu Xian has more choices, Liu Xian is a local, ambushed five hundred knife and axe men, smashed the cup as a number, killed the people here, the power of the Wang clan is still in the city, if you don't get the government located, let alone think about other places, Liu Xian can choose not to do it, so that he can get more benefits, Wang Qian is on the way, looking at the firearms he escorted, always worrying about whether Liu Xian will choose the wrong one.

Who is stronger Liu Xian or Qi Jiguang? There was no answer, because they were comrades-in-arms, not enemies.

Liu Xian is famous, if he really wants to be the Ming Dynasty's festival envoy and divide one side, this is the best opportunity, but His Majesty trusts Liu Xian's father and son extraordinarily.

Zhu Yijun knew that Liu Xian himself had fought for the Ming Dynasty all his life, and Liu Xian's son Liu Wei was martyred in the Battle of Salhu, and did not become a second-minister thief like Hong Chengchou, Zhu Yijun knew, Wang Qian didn't know, so Wang Qian was suspicious.

If Liu Xian has already been in the same stream with the wang clans, Wang Qian's actions will be very, very dangerous, and the prey in today's trap is not these wang clans, but Wang Qian himself.

"Let's do it." Wang Qian saw several places in the west of the city, and raised one after another arrows, and the arrows exploded in the air with the scream of breaking the clouds, as bright as stars.

This is a signal, which means that Liu Xian, the chief soldier of Sichuan, led the military guards to clear a gang's nest of thieves.

Cut off its wings, cut off its mouthpiece, and finally cut off its head.

Liu Xian made his own choice, the executioner was his son Liu Ling, or rather, Liu Xian had already made a choice, when he was out of Sichuan Ping, he had already seen the Ming River falling, he didn't want to be a sinner of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Ling had punched Zhan Shu, the prefect of Mahu, just because of this forcible seizure.

Today's choices are the result of all the choices made in the past.

Wang Qian turned the wine glass in his hand, waiting for the lights on the stage to be completely dimmed, Wang Qian drank all the wine in the cup, slammed it to the ground, and shouted loudly: "In accordance with the holy decree of His Majesty, supervise the major case, and today arrest the rebellious thieves and those who disobey the order, and there will be no forgiveness!" ”

"Kill!"

Wang Qian's wine glass fell to the ground, a bed crossbow appeared on the courtyard wall of the school, the cavalry began to enter the courtyard, and the four sub-mother cannons were pulled to the door, aiming at the wang clans who were still confused, and the flintlock guns in the hands of the ti cavalry were also raised, obviously intending, as long as there was resistance, they would do it.

"Wang Yushi, is there some misunderstanding? All of you here are my Ming gentlemen, and the herdsmen of Antu are responsible, why are they so wary? Yang Ningren clenched Luo Xiangxian's thighs, and he clenched Luo Xiangxian's face white, it was too painful.

Wang Qian didn't talk nonsense to Yang Ningren at all, and shouted loudly at Zhao Qianhu: "Take it!" ”

"Everyone, put down the blades in your hands, put your hands on the back of your head, and lie on the ground, I count to ten, and those who are still standing, will be guilty of rebellion!" Zhao Qianhu raised his left hand and said loudly: "Ten, nine..."

"Bold!" The handcuff in Zhao Qianhu's hand suddenly pointed at a family member, because the murderer suddenly burst out and rushed towards the horseman, Zhao Qianhu pressed the trigger, and under the action of the spring steel, the fire sickle slid to the flint, and the sparks splashed everywhere, igniting the ignition powder in the fire door.

Boom!

A gunshot rang out, the smoke of gunpowder filled the air, the particles of black powder in the chamber suddenly burst, the lead under the air pressure and explosion, under the action of the yin and yang engraved line, quickly rotated and flew towards the murderer, the lead directly hit the murderer's abdomen, blood splashed, screaming again and again.

The melee began, the Wang clan who came here, everyone with their families, is the henchmen of the wang clan, there are too many life lawsuits in their hands, there are only desperate at this time, they all carry blades, and begin to charge towards the front of the cavalry, the smoke of gunpowder is filled, the sound of banging gunpowder explosion and the sound of shouting and killing, one after another.

Two quarters of an hour later, there were no more people in the arena who dared to stand anymore, Zhao Qianhu didn't even count the three numbers, the smell of blood echoed in the school, and those who held their heads and shouted at the top of their heads, I'm afraid they won't be able to forget this scene in their lives.

"I originally wanted to dig a hole in the academy, and then blow up the entire academy and these noble clans into the sky." Wang Qian, who is very satisfied with the result, looks here and there, and is very satisfied.

"What made Wang Yushi dispel this thought?" Wang Tingzhan asked curiously.

Wang Qian said with great certainty: "It's poverty. ”

"Oh?"

"If you want to blow up the sky with less than two acres of land in the entire venue, you need at least 5,000 catties of gunpowder, and one or two gunpowder costs six coins and two cents of silver, that is, if you want to blow up these two acres of land, you need 50,000 taels of silver." Wang Qian is indeed very rich, but 50,000 taels is still a bit too expensive, and one out of ten of the emperor's mausoleums is gone.

Gunpowder is expensive, transport, and even more expensive to preserve.

"It's really expensive." When Wang Tingzhan heard this number, he immediately said affirmatively.

The arrest of Huayang School was very smooth, and the actions of Liu Xian and Liu Wei father and son were also extremely smooth, and several gangs in Chengdu Mansion were wiped out, thanks to the carloads of firearms brought by Wang Qian, the firearms were in Liu Xian's hands, and the value was vividly reflected.

Zhang Juzheng once taught Zhu Yijun a truth, don't use suspicious people, don't doubt people.

If you have any doubts about a person, don't use him, so it is good for the monarch and the minister, such as the former criminal department Shangshu Wang Zhihe, Zhang Juzheng has never wanted this son and daughter to come to the court, because Zhang Juzheng is suspicious of Wang Zhihe, even if it is a son and daughter's family;

And employing people without suspicion is to appoint a person, don't doubt him, if something happens, then solve it, willing to gamble and lose, every choice in life has already marked the price.

The emperor is not at ease, the courtiers do not do their best, and the employment is still suspicious, and it is doomed to achieve nothing.

Zhu Yijun has great trust in Liu Xian, if Liu Xian really makes another choice, Zhu Yijun can only be willing to gamble and lose, and at the same time appease Wang Chonggu, the leader of the Jin Party, and send troops to Sichuan!

Fortunately, that didn't happen.

Wang Qian's first move made Sichuan shake three times, and the investigation of the Yang family, together with the lackeys of the Yang family, liquidated together, only took three months, the new capital Yang and its lackeys were uprooted.

Liu Wei, the deputy general of Sichuan, with 2,000 people, was stationed in Banzhou to prevent Banzhou Yang, and took the seedlings to make a rebellion, and with the momentum of the new capital Yang, Liu Ling's 2,000 guest soldiers were on the head of the Banzhou Yang, and the Banzhou Yang did not dare to make any moves, but there were more things, Liu Wei couldn't do it.

Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Qian's Tusi attack and defend each other, each other is the horns, if Liu Wei really invades at this time, it is to force the anti-Tusi, outside the Ming Dynasty, Donghu Wang Mang Yinglong is dying, and so Mang Yinglong is dead, and the seedlings outside the country are leaderless, and the Tusi in the Ming Dynasty and the overseas Donghu can not be combined inside and outside, and then it is not too late to start.

The toasts' reaction to this is quite strange, probably the Han people's infighting, what does it have to do with me, to let the toasts understand the truth of the cold lips and teeth, they still need the continuous implementation of Wang Hua.

Wang Qian's entry into Shu, the first battle of ambush warfare, fought extremely beautifully, supervised the head of the case, the investigation of the water came to light, including a group of forced, voluntary Ming bureaucrats, left and right government, according to the inspection envoys, several prefects and their staff, the entire Sichuan ground can be described as turbulent.

Before receiving Wang Qian's note, the imperial court had already made a round of personnel appointments, went to Sichuan to supplement the bureaucrats, and after receiving the note, made up another round.

Daming is a pit of three people, and if you don't do it, some people will do it.

Wang Qian's reputation is completely rotten, the stinky kind, the Mid-Autumn Festival, the day of reunion, and the day of harmony, Wang Qian made such a play, which can be described as rude, righteous and shameful, and even dirtier and smellier than Yan Shifan's reputation!

Wang Chonggu is a traitor, he gave birth to a son, and he is still a traitor!

The music of the snowflakes was sent to the cabinet, and they all scolded Wang Qian, and by the way, they scolded Wang Chonggu.

"It's very surprising that Wang Cifu didn't take the opportunity to expand his power." Zhu Yijun drew a × sign, indicating that he had read or not, and said to Feng Bao with some emotion.

Wang Chonggu's choice is very interesting, he chose to mingle with the Sichuan wang clan, which is in the physical sense.

This choice is somewhat unexpected, but in reason, the territory of the Jin Party is large enough, no matter how big it is, the emperor and the court can't tolerate it, Wang Qian didn't pick and choose in the wang clan and cultivate party henchmen, he is actually quite good at this kind of thing, as a gentleman, he can't cultivate dog legs, and he is not worthy of being a gentleman.

Wang Qian chose a pot end, which was obviously instructed by Wang Chonggu before leaving.

"Wang Cifu is deferential, the minister is not speaking for Wang Cifu, over the years, Wang Cifu's errands in the court are also obvious to all." Feng Bao rarely said a good word for the ministers, and those who didn't know thought that he had accepted a bribe from Wang Chonggu, but Feng Bao was extremely fierce with Wang Chonggu, Yang Bo, Ge Shouli and other Jin parties.

Feng Bao really confiscated Wang Chonggu's silver, His Majesty rewarded him with enough silver, His Majesty hated the dog thing that ate inside and out, he didn't want to be made into a specimen in the Xie Yuan like Chen Hong.

Feng Bao stood in the position of Daming and said a few good words for Wang Chonggu, and His Majesty's words were a more dangerous signal.

The sacred heart is unpredictable, and it is always the courtiers who can directly threaten the emperor.

"You have a point." Zhu Yijun quite recognized that Wang Chonggu's choice in the Sichuan Zhutou case this time had stacked a thick layer of saints for their old Wang family.

"Wang Qian's method is good, but it can only be used once, and no one will be fooled next time, and only he can use it." Zhu Yijun is quite a pity and has an in-depth understanding of Wang Qian's arrogance.

"Promote the prince to the prince, and serve as the imperial history of the capital after returning to Beijing." Zhu Yijun promoted Wang Qian to an official, but he still worked in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he was promoted to the third rank in a row, and climbed to the fourth grade.

This official position is actually very low, Yan Shifan started as Shang Bao Si Shaoqing, Xu Jie's son, and he also started as Shang Bao Si Shaoqing, Zheng Wupin, Wang Qian is just a Zheng Qipin supervising the imperial history in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Zhang Juzheng's sons are also the doctors of Zheng Wupin.

Wang Qian made meritorious service here in Zhu Yijun, and helped Hai Rui investigate corrupt officials in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and this errand was also very beautiful, so he naturally wanted to be promoted.

Zhu Yijun finished reviewing most of the notes, threw all the notes that impeached Wang Qian into the trash, and said to Feng Bao: "I ordered to go to the British Mansion, the Chengguo Mansion, and the Dingguo Mansion, and worship Yongling in the suburbs tomorrow, and the news that the Yang family in the new capital was arrested will be known to Emperor Shizong." ”

Dao Ye's intentions are difficult to peace, there are definitely Yang Tinghe and Yang Shen actually died well, and Dao Ye, who was still very young at the time, let go of the two, which eventually led to the emergence of imitators in an endless stream, stepping on the emperor to brush up fame, and there were many times in the Jiajing years.

The Xindu Yang family suffered such a catastrophe, saying that there is no personal grudge, that is false.

"Luo Yao, the former governor of Sichuan, will take away his official fame and reputation, and never use it when he returns home, Mr.'s protégé always has to be extra lenient, Feng Bao, what do you say?" Zhu Yijun looked at the music in his hand and hesitated slightly, this is not the first time that he has privately married Zhang Juzheng's protégé, Gao Qiyu did that kind of thing in Yingtianfu back then, and Zhu Yijun also forgave him.

Feng Bao thought about it, and still reminded: "Your Majesty, Mr.'s floating ticket said that it was exiled to Yunnan, if the law is not strict, it cannot be believed, and if the law is not believed, it cannot be governed. ”

"Your Majesty, what happened to Gao Qiyu at the beginning was right and wrong."

Gao Qiyu's mistake is completely different from Luo Yao's, in the final analysis, Gao Qiyu directly offended the Ming Emperor himself, Your Majesty does not care about the party, others have no power to care, it is private; But Luo Yao connived and shielded, which led to the further deterioration of the situation in Sichuan.

Therefore, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, exile in Yunnan is already lenient.

"Then, according to what Mr. said, exile to Yunnan." Zhu Yijun finally chose exile, which was a business matter.

If the rules are broken, they are completely broken.

"When did Xu Wei come to Beijing?" Zhu Yijun asked about Xu Wei, the governor of Nagasaki, who had returned to Beijing to report on his work.
