Luzhou, Tongchuan Mansion Road Governance Office, Southwest Meeting.

Due to the dangerous terrain, for the southeast gateway of Chengdu, the Southern Song Dynasty trunk road six years, the Song Dynasty changed the original Zizhou Road to Tongchuan Road Mansion, the governance of Luzhou, Luzhou also began to prosper.

Located at the confluence of the Tuojiang River and the Yangtze River, Shuzhong real estate is continuously transported from the Yangtze River to the southeast. Rice grain, sugar, salt, tea, Shu brocade, tung oil, and even war horses obtained from tea and horse trading were all transferred from Luzhou to the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

Nanding Tower, located in the city of Luzhou, is as famous as the Yellow Crane Tower, Yueyang Tower, Daguan Tower, because it is as high as 100 feet, the decoration is gorgeous, the back mountain and the water are beautiful, the beautiful color is charming, you can overlook the river, it is a place for swallow drinking with excellent scenery in Luzhou. Upstairs are all rich businessmen, magnates, scholars and celebrities, on the one hand, they are helpless to lose the great rivers and mountains of the Central Plains. On one side, the wine is charming, but the people are already drunk.

"Li Xianggong, I heard that the emperor is going to train troops in Sichuan and reorganize his armaments, but I don't know if it's true or not?"

The thin white gentleman was dressed in a green shirt with a smirk on his face.

"Master Sun, it seems that you don't hear anything outside the window, you only know that you hug left and right, and the clouds and twilight rain. Didn't you read the news in the newspaper? The emperor did not want to train soldiers, but he was already training, and he also appointed a large number of arrogant soldiers. The Sichuan Lecture Hall in Chengdu has been opened, attracting a large number of Shu gentlemen, which is very lively! ”

Li Xianggong was fat and white, his fat face was red, and he seemed to have drunk a lot.

He looked at the official prostitute beside him, his expression was obscene, and his eyes were green.

"The emperor's tossing is to talk about martial arts and train soldiers, which is to use all kinds of military force. It's really scary! ”

The tall and thin officials at the same table had prominent cheekbones on their faces and stubborn eyes, and they were either Zhengchen or cool officials.

The official prostitute next to him looked at him, smiling like a flower, and his eyes were rolling, which made him itch in his heart.

"Cao Tongju, you, a dignified court official, a famous official on Tongchuan Mansion Road, are there anything else you are afraid of?"

Li Xianggong laughed, picked up a piece of delicate fish, put it in the big mouth of the blood basin, and said while eating.

Master Sun beside him made a look, and the official prostitute on the side hurriedly added wine to Li Xianggong.

"The emperor is not just a reckless soldier, that is to have a big event! The emperor set up the Sichuan Anti-Corruption Department to punish corruption, which was for our Sichuan officials. It seems that our life is not easy! ”

Li Xianggong said a leisurely sentence, he observed his words, and several officials present were pale, and seemed to be a little afraid.

The imperial court implemented a new policy on Jiangnan East Road, and the movement was too big and there were too many killings, which made Sichuan also rumorous. Compared with the past, these officials have been much more restrained, but there has been no movement on Sichuan Road, and everyone has habitually become arrogant and lascivious.

"The emperor is reckless, nothing happens to us, and I don't care. The key is that this anti-corruption department seems to be aimed at us, and I don't feel sure! Gu Song, the general judge of the Health Mansion, wasn't he killed? ”

Cao Tongju picked up the wine glass with a calm face, and his hand trembled slightly.

"Gu Song was killed, and you, the general judge of Luzhou Mansion, are you also afraid?"

Li Xianggong picked up his wine glass disdainfully and sneered.

"What bullshit anti-corruption? They want to cure us, so let's go and see if the ministers above agree! If you really want to fight corruption, I'm afraid the whole Sichuan will be in chaos! ”

As the son-in-law of An Gongxing, the transport envoy of Tongchuan Mansion, he, the prefect of Suining, is not afraid of heaven and earth.

"It's like, look at what they do. Pu's on Kuizhou Road, An's in Guang'an Army, and the famous Pujiang Wei Gao's, who can move? This Sichuan is still the world of our Sichuan doctors! ”

Cao Tongju nodded again and again and raised his glass.

There are too many famous families in Sichuan, and they are inextricably linked with the ministers of the DPRK and China, and the imperial court wants to fight corruption and corruption, can it turn the whole of Sichuan over?

"What Lee Sang-gong said is very true! Come on, let's drink! ”

All the officials were smiling, the official prostitutes were together, and everyone raised their glasses and drank happily.

"Colleagues, during the New Year's Day, I want to chant a poem and sing a song!"

Li Xianggong's face turned red, and the wine swelled up, and he said it loudly.

"Good, good! Li Xianggong, I'm waiting for the masterpiece, listen to it! ”

The crowd began to compose poems and lyrics.

On a table outside the pavilion, Fan Zhong drank tea with his head bored, listening to Fan Zhen whispering softly in his ear, and his black face became even darker.

Relying on these guys to govern the place and pacify the people, God is really blind.

"Uncle, don't worry, it's all figured out."

Fan Zhen returned to his seat and sat down, but Fan Zhong immediately stood up, his face sinking like water.

"Uncle, I haven't finished eating yet!"

Fan Zhen picked up a cookie and hurriedly followed.

"Get out of here! It stinks so badly that you can't stay for a moment! ”

Fan Zhong said with a dark face as he walked.

On Luzhou Chengbei Street, in front of the counter of "Yao Ji Silk Shop", Fan Zhen touched the silk in his hand and asked with a smile.

"Shopkeeper, your shop's business should be good."

"What's good, it's just barely supporting!"

The shopkeeper shook his head, he looked at Fan Qian, and asked in surprise:

"Listen to your accent, you're from Wuzhou, right?"

"You're also from Wuzhou? I am a native of Lanxi, Wuzhou. ”

Fan Zhen also heard the other party's accent and immediately replied in dialect.

"Great official, that's such a coincidence! I am from Wuzhou, and you and I are fellow villagers! ”

The shopkeeper smiled in surprise, with an authentic Wuzhou accent. He looked at Fan Zhong and the others, and his politeness was unusual

"The big officials are all from their hometown. Look at it as you like, I'm going to give you a low price today! ”

"Thank you, shopkeeper."

Fan Zhen smiled slightly and said softly:

"Shopkeeper, to tell you the truth, I'm also new to this place and want to do some business. Do you think so? ”

"Doing business? Luzhou? ”

The shopkeeper shook his head, looked at the door, and said in a low voice:

"Daguan, for the sake of you and my fellow villagers, I advise you to go to other places, and Luzhou should come less."

"Shopkeeper, why is that? Didn't you do a good job? ”

Fan Zhen asked knowingly.

"Big officials, just eight words, exacting taxes and miscellaneous taxes, corrupt officials and corrupt officials. Do you understand? Do you still dare to come? ”

In front of his fellow villagers, the shopkeeper was much less vigilant.

"The shopkeeper, even if there are corrupt officials and corrupt officials, aren't there officials of the imperial court to investigate? As for the excesses and miscellaneous taxes, hasn't the emperor already decreed that they should be cancelled, and we will not pay what should not be paid. What's so scary about this? ”

Fan Zhen continued to probe.

"Big official, it seems that you really don't know anything!"

The shopkeeper shook his head, he looked at the door of the shop and lowered his voice.

"The big officials above are bad, where are you going to complain? The officials protect each other, you sued them, do you still want to continue to do this? ”

"The shopkeeper, it's that big official, so fierce?"

Fan asked pretending to be curious.

"Big official, don't ask, see that you are a fellow countryman, I just said so much. I'm going to keep doing business, I'm sorry. ”

At this point, the shopkeeper became timid and refused to say anything more.

"Great official, let's go quickly! Tongchuan Mansion Road Transfer Envoy An Xianggong, who dares to touch him? Don't ask! ”

The shopkeeper's eyes flickered, but Fan Zhong had a dark face and smiled coldly.

"An Gongxing, the transfer envoy of Tongchuan Fu Road, the son of An Bing, the former Sichuan pacification envoy, is he? What a big deal! If you run into an old man, he's unlucky! ”

Fan Zhong's eyes signaled, Fan Zhen and a few people went over, and couldn't help but close the door of the store.

"Shopkeeper, don't you invite me, fellow, to a cup of tea?"

Fan Zhong took out something and put it in front of the stunned shopkeeper.

When everyone came out, they were speechless for a while. After a while, Fan Zhen sighed.

"Arbitrary levies, empty salaries, and 10% of taxes on imported goods. This An Xianggong, a dignified imperial court transfer envoy, holds the power of grain endowment, which is really ruthless! ”

Attendants, some shook their heads and sighed.

"An Gongxing's son-in-law, Li Chunlei, the prefect of Suining, robbed the people's daughters, openly beat the people to death, and ignored the laws of the imperial court, all of which deserve death!"

"To die, it's enough to cut off their heads once."

Fan Zhong smiled coldly, and there was a cold air in his eyes.

He will not let go of any of the officials of the Traitor Section.

"Uncle, An Gongxing is the transfer envoy of Tongchuan Mansion, an important minister of the imperial court, and the son-in-law of Wei Liaoweng, a squire of the Ministry of War, his brother An Guizhong is an important member of the Sichuan system envoy, and his father is the former Sichuan system envoy An Bing. The forces of the An family in Sichuan are intertwined, and they affect the whole body. If the uncle tells the official family about An Gong's corruption and dereliction of duty, it will be difficult for the official family to deal with it, not to mention, and he will offend the Wei Gao clan in Sichuan, and it will be difficult to ride a tiger at that time...... Uncle be careful! ”

"Prudent? Caution what? ”

Fan Zhong's words made Fan Zhong involuntarily widen his eyes.

"Erlu, the people's fat and the people's ointment. The people are easy to abuse, and the heavens are difficult to deceive. We are entrusted by the Son of Heaven to fight corruption and corruption, and clarify the rule of officials, how can we protect ourselves wisely and deceive the king and betray the people? ”

Fan Zhong looked at everyone with burning eyes.

"Hear, all of you, the great things of heaven have their own laws. If you dare to engage in favoritism and irregularities, and know the law and break the law, it is a crime of one degree. Not to mention that the future is ruined, it may even affect the family, and it will be too late to regret it when the time comes! ”

"What my uncle taught me is that I remember!"

Fan Zhen's face was flushed, and he quickly nodded yes.

Anti-corruption has become "Fan Qingtian", and he has also done the work of Yushi, which is really a loss.

"Obey the teachings of the Prime Minister!"

Everyone was solemn and bowed together.

"Wang Ruoshui and I stayed in Luzhou and continued to collect evidence of An Gongxing and his subordinate officials. Early tomorrow morning, Fan Zhen and Kou Yuanfang will go to Chengdu Fu Road, where the corrupt officials and corrupt officials are also boiling with public resentment! ”

Thinking of the Sichuan officials being traitors and criminals, Fan Zhong's face was much darker.

"Xianggong, Kuizhou Road pacification envoy Pu Hong, Tongchuan Road transport envoy An Gongxing, these people are Sichuan Wang clan, extremely powerful. Let's be careful. ”

Wang Ruoshui, a member of the Anti-Corruption Division, said in a low voice, not forgetting to look around.

"Uncle, beware of the dog jumping off the wall. If you're in a hurry, these people can do anything! ”

Fan Zhen was also on the side, persuading Fan Zhong in a low voice.

"Don't worry! Although the old man is over half a hundred years old, he still wants to live a few more years. ”

Fan Zhong nodded, his heart heavy.

They do things, and there are also forbidden soldiers dressed as guards, and they are not alone.

Having said that, the emperor is coming to Sichuan, fortunately he has gained something, otherwise how could he face the king?

As for how the emperor will deal with these corrupt officials, he doesn't need to worry.
