In the same way, these officials are all full of bitterness.

Although Beiping Mansion is only fifty miles away from Tongzhou, even if you take a carriage and walk such a long distance, you will be guilty, not to mention that you can only ride a horse now.

Moreover, I will have to walk at night for a while.

However, looking at the battle of Yan King Zhu Di, even if they don't know the inside story, they can feel that there must be someone in Tongzhou who doesn't know whether to live or die to provoke this Yan King.

And with the departure of Zhu Di and others, the entire Beiping Mansion began to stir up again.

King Yan actually took a thousand soldiers, as well as some officials from the Beiping Mansion, the Department of Inspectors, and the Department of Political Envoys, and went to Tongzhou with murderous spirit.

Who could provoke King Yan so angry?

……

Just when the officials and gentry in Beiping City were in doubt, in the backyard of the Tongzhou Mansion fifty miles east of Beiping City, there was laughter.

Cui Shi, the governor of Tongzhou, gradually sat in the first place, on the left and right sides were a fellow acquaintance and judge of Tongzhou, and on the opposite side were four Confucian shirts, full of kindness, middle-aged people or old men of different figures.

"Congratulations to Cui Zhizhou, just wait for the Yanwang Mansion to rebuild the Zhangjiawan Wharf, and those passing cargo ships will inevitably dock at the Zhangjiawan Wharf.

At that time, my Tongzhou will inevitably be several times more prosperous than before.

With such a great achievement, I believe that the officials in the Ministry of Officials must not be ignored, and Cui Zhizhou will inevitably have smooth official fortunes, and maybe he can go straight to the center. ”

"It's the pole, it's the pole. That Guo Changshi is a famous God of Wealth in Beiping Mansion, and he is so optimistic about Zhangjiawan Wharf, he must be ......"

The words of praise from the mouths of these four famous township sages in Tongzhou poured out one after another, and their faces were full of sincerity.

With the help of this plan, they not only bought hundreds of acres of land, but also collected more than a dozen tenant farmers from each family, but they made a lot of money.

As for Cui Shijian and the fellow intellectuals and judges on the left and right, thinking about the two boxes of silver that were brought into their own homes in the afternoon, they were also in a good mood.

Cui Shi gradually took a sip of tea, and said with a reserved face: "This matter is thanks to the kindness of His Royal Highness King Yan, in order to relieve the pressure of the Tonghui River transportation, he is actually preparing to pave the road and repair the Zhangjiawan Wharf.

Of course, the Yanwang Mansion was able to buy the 500 acres of land at Zhangjiawan Wharf so smoothly, thanks to the sages and gentry of the township! ”

The four township sages and gentry hurriedly replied: "Cui Zhizhou is too polite, this matter is all the credit of you and your superiors, we just accepted a group of tenants and disposed of a few Diao people." ”

"Yes, yes, if it weren't for Cui Zhizhou and all the officials, this matter wouldn't have been done at all......"

Cui Shi nodded reservedly, and asked seemingly casually: "Those few troublemakers have explained the reason, right?"

His Royal Highness King Yan paved the road and repaired the Zhangjiawan Wharf this time, which is a great thing for me in Tongzhou.

If His Highness's reputation is tarnished, it will be a great dishonor......"

"Although Cui Zhizhou can rest assured, there are only a few people who are miserable, we have seen a lot, as long as they are reasoned with, and then punished a little, they will naturally become obedient people."

"That's fine."

"Hahaha......"

The lights in the backyard of the Tongzhou Yamen were lit until midnight.

……

On the road from Beiping City to Tongzhou, Zhu Di, Guo An and others are non-stop and people do not stop.

A team of thousands of people, holding hundreds of torches, marched mightily all the way.

Fifty miles of road, for Zhu Di and Guo An, who ride horses, the most crotch grinding.

And for the guards on foot, it was better, they were used to traveling long distances.

And those scribes of the Yan Wangfu, as well as the political envoys and the small officials of the inspection envoys, suffered a great crime, and walked for fifty miles in a row, without stopping for a moment, all the way down, their legs were unconscious.

However, under the suppression of the dull atmosphere of this way, they did not dare to make a sound and force a rest.

Finally, after some time, when the officials seemed to be the walking dead, the procession finally stopped in front of a large mansion.

In front of the team, there were also a few strong men wearing flying fish suits silently.

"Your Highness, in the house of this person named He Ji, more than ten families have been imprisoned." Pu Sanji reported.

Zhu Di glanced up and said emotionlessly: "Smash open the door for this king." ”

"Whoa."

Pu Sanji responded, and then looked at the brocade guards in front of him.

Several brocade guards skillfully rolled over from the gate and entered, and with a creak, the gate was opened.

The two brocade guards, dragging a slave in one hand, walked out of the gate and threw them directly in front of Zhu Di, Guo An and others.

The two slaves prostrate on the ground, bowing their heads, trembling and begging for mercy, "Spare your lives, spare your lives, the villain doesn't know anything, and he doesn't see anything." ”

"Humph!"

Zhu Di glanced at it with disgust on his face, and asked, "Where are the people of Zhangjiawan who you are waiting to capture?" ”

"What?"

The two slaves were startled, and subconsciously looked up at Zhu Di.

However, the night was dark, and I only saw a burly and strange figure.

On the contrary, behind this burly man, there were actually rows of soldiers holding torches, wearing cold armor, and holding steel swords and spears?

"This general ......"

Before the two slaves finished speaking, they were directly kicked aside by Pu Sanji.

Pu Sanji didn't look at it, and reported directly to Zhu Diyu: "Your Highness, the dozen or so captured peasant households were all locked up in the firewood room of the He family's back house. ”

"Take the king with you."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Pu Sanji led the way with a few brocade guards in front.

Zhu Di and Guo An followed.

Behind him, a group of soldiers and generals had already surrounded the entire He family, and a part of the soldiers rushed in with torches to control the entire He family.

The sound of the friction of the armor, as well as the dense and heavy sound of boots, directly shocked the entire He Mansion.

On the roof, there are also human figures.

Even on the roof, there was a group of people dressed in fish suits, with cats on their waists, steel knives or bows and arrows in their hands, peeking around on the guard.

"A thief has broken in!"

"Draw the knife quickly and protect Master He......"

As the houses lit up, a group of shirtless Zhuang Hu with steel knives in hand rushed out with hideous faces.

It's just that before he took two steps, he stared wide-eyed, looked ahead, and didn't dare to take a step forward.

In front of them, there were rows of glittering armor, sharp steel knives and spears, and rows of arrows on the roof!

The soul that is directly frightened does not possess the body!

"Officers and soldiers? …… How could it be possible to come officers and soldiers? ……”

"Ah~"

Suddenly, a few screams sounded, and everyone looked at it, and it turned out that a few Zhuang Hu wanted to sneak away, but they were directly killed by a few arrows.

All Zhuang Hu shivered in unison, and the steel knife in his hand fell to the ground with a sharp stumble, not daring to make any small movements.

On weekdays, in the face of soldiers in this kind of full-body armor, they may not be able to survive five against one.

And now, the number of the other party is obviously far from them, and in addition to obediently surrendering, there is only suicide.

Obviously, they don't want to die just yet......

"Who are you?"

"Do you know who this house is? How dare you lead your troops to rush in? ……”

At this time, the backyard also sounded a series of scoldings.

Especially He Ji, who had just returned from Tongzhou and had not been in bed for a while, was even more panicked.

Could it be that Cui Zhizhou wants to eat black?

Unfortunately, none of the generals paid any attention to him.

At the same time.

In the backyard, outside the firewood room, dozens of torches illuminate the entire backyard as if it were daytime.

Two brocade guards stepped forward and directly opened the wooden door of the firewood room.

Inside, there was a panic all of a sudden,

Then, there was a strong stench.

Zhu Di frowned, but he still shouted loudly: "This king is Zhu Di, the king of Yan, and you can come out to sue if you have any grievances." ”

When the words fell, from the small door of the firewood room, an old man with an unkempt face and a gray face stretched out.

When I saw the scene in the hospital, my eyes shrank.

Then, he looked at Zhu Di expectantly.

"Are you really His Royal Highness King Yan?"

"Presumptuous, in Beiping Mansion, who else dares to pretend to be His Royal Highness King Yan?"

Pu Sanji scolded directly.

Hearing this, the old man was not surprised, "Woo...... Whining...... It's really His Royal Highness King Yan, I'm waiting to be saved...... Come out, everyone, you don't have to shrink inside......"

Immediately, from the firewood house, which was not as big as the thatched house of King Yan's Mansion, forty or fifty ordinary people poured out directly.

There are men and women, old men and young people, and children.

Half of them were covered in scars, and a few children were lying motionless in their parents' arms.

Guo An's eyes were red, and his fists were white.

As for Zhu Di, although his face was calm, his eyes were as cold as ice, "Quickly send someone to find a few doctors and show them." ”

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Pu Sanji hurriedly turned around and commanded a few brocade guards on the side.

Several brocade guards quickly disappeared into the darkness, and they couldn't see their figures.

Only then did Zhu Di look at the old man at the head, "Dare to ask this old man, what happened to you?" ”

"Your Highness, I'm waiting for injustice!"

The old man's eyes suddenly flowed with tears, and his face was full of grief and hatred, "We have been farming for generations, and we have lived in the fields near Zhangjiawan and have never caused trouble.

What do you think, the day before yesterday, a group of officials suddenly came, and they opened their mouths to buy our land, saying that it was His Royal Highness King Yan...... His Royal Highness wants to use these fields to repair the Zhangjiawan Wharf.

His Royal Highness wants to requisition, and I will not dare to disobey these small people who are promoted to the bucket.

It's just that those officials are unreasonable, and the old man's family only gave twenty taels of silver for eight acres of land.

These twenty taels of silver can buy two acres of land at most, or inferior fields!

The old man wanted a theory, so they said that they could let the old man enter the He family as a tenant, and the old man's good eight acres of land were gone, and he had to be a tenant.

The old man was unwilling, but those officials didn't care, not only threatened the old man, but also directly snatched the old man's land deed......

And the old man's son wanted to resist, but they pressed and beat him, and his legs were broken......"

"Your Highness, the husband of the people's wife, was directly beaten to death by them!"

"There is also the old man Li from the next village, because the two sons went to serve as soldiers and never came back, they directly beat the old man Li to death, and they also dug a pit and buried it casually......"

"Also, because Master He fell in love with the Bai family, they directly took this opportunity to beat the Bai family's husband to death and take the Bai family away......"

The people also knew that this was their only chance to seek revenge, and they all spoke out about their grievances.

"These animals are not as good as dogs!"

Zhu Di's face was full of rage.

Guo An was directly angry and trembling, he guessed that there might be gentry who would make trouble and be greedy for ink.

However, I never thought that someone could be so evil and so unscrupulous?

Behind him, Yu Rentian, the prefect of Beiping, as well as a number of officials such as the Political Envoy and the Inspectorate were all stunned and chilled.

The complaints in my heart suddenly disappeared.

He Ji, a townsman from Tongzhou, has heard a lot about them in the past, and often donates money to Tongzhou to repair the school building and repair the road, and is known for his good reputation.

I didn't expect to do such nonsense in private!

No wonder His Royal Highness King Yan wants to make such a big battle today?
