The raid continued all night.

When the people of the entire county town woke up at eight o'clock the next morning, they suddenly found that the sky seemed to have changed.

The once arrogant and invincible Wang family is now occupied by a group of soldiers.

The county magistrate of the county government didn't know where it went, and the chief bookkeeper and the county lieutenant could only watch from a distance with the officials, not daring to make any moves.

According to historical data, it can be known that the main officials of an ordinary county in the Song Dynasty were the county order, the chief bookkeeper and the county lieutenant, and the rest of the officials were about two or three hundred, including the officials.

But many of these two or three hundred people are small officials such as scribes, Confucius, Charges, and Gou Dang in the various rooms of the county government, and the real officials are basically dozens of people, and they can't compete with Zhao Jun's Praetorian Guards at all.

So the other party can only do something and watch, and can't do anything.

They watched Zhao Jun move out boxes of things like this, and they were already looking for the bitter lord in the whole city, so that the people could spread the news, and the oppressed people would come and complain.

Although the news is spreading relatively slowly at the moment, it is estimated that the people in the villages near the county seat will have to go at least after noon if they know the news.

And the oppressed people in the county, because of the power of the Wang family, did not dare to come rashly, but if this continues, they will not be able to withstand it for long.

So now the officials of Yu County are in a very embarrassing situation.

Go ahead, don't dare to care.

Don't worry about it, people are completely overstepping, and they copied the Wang family in front of them, and they didn't take them seriously at all.

As if they were the officials who managed the local area, the officials of Yuxian County were extremely resentful for a while.

But Zhao Jun was too lazy to care about the displeasure of the officials, because he was also unhappy now.

took a look at what the Wang family did, and it not only implicated the local officials in Yuxian County, but also his younger brother Wang Zai, as well as many local officials in Bozhou, such as Shixian Ling, Guo Zhizhou, and even many Bozhou officials who had been transferred.

This kind of transfer of interests lasted for many years, and it was not so rampant in the earliest days, because at that time, the Wang family was just an ordinary landlord in Yu County, and the land and wealth they owned were far less than they are now.

Until the third year of Tiansheng, that is, thirteen years ago, Wang Qian's younger brother Wang Zai was admitted to the Jinshi, with his younger brother's business in the officialdom for more than ten years, Wang Qian's business became bigger and bigger, and he seemed to have become the largest local underworld force in Yuxian County.

There are as many as thirteen murder cases under his hands alone, and I don't know how many have not been found.

It can be said that the Wang family in this county is extremely evil, and there must be innocent people who behead the Wang family, but the beheading of Wang Qian and his family servants is estimated to make the entire county happy.

Waiting until the next morning, Zhao Jun was tired from copying his house, he didn't rest last night, and walked out of the Wang family's mansion with a pair of dark circles under his eyes, he planned to find a place to rest.

Outside the door is already a sea of people, come to see the lively people of Yuxian County in an endless stream, three layers inside and three layers outside the luxuriously decorated Wang family mansion and courtyard enclosed.

Zhao Jun came out and was taken aback by this grand occasion, and then yawned and was about to order the soldiers to open the way, when there was a commotion in the crowd on the periphery, and someone shouted: "It's Taishou who is coming." "Get out of the way, get out of the way." "Let's go."

In an instant, the crowd dispersed, a group of soldiers rushed in, seeing this situation, Zhao Jun's surrounding Praetorian Guards also came to protect him, he brought a battalion of five hundred people, the sword out of the sheath, the crossbow wound, a shield in front of Zhao Jun, at the same time all kinds of whistles blowing, the cavalry outside the city surged.

Seeing this battle, the people ran away with rolling and crawling, and the streets were full of dense soldiers in an instant, Guo Chengyou rode on horseback, and came over with the Bozhou Xiang Army and the Forbidden Army, looked around, and then looked in the direction of Zhao Jun, who was surrounded by regiments.

The two sides suddenly entered the phase of confrontation.

A step late?

Guo Chengyou saw that Zhao Jun had raided the Wang family, and immediately frowned.

He learned the news last night, and then he had already set off at three o'clock in the morning, thirty-six kilometers away, urging the soldiers to go quickly, and it took more than three hours, but in the end he still did not catch up.

But it doesn't matter, the people have been blocked, and the things can't escape.

Thinking of this, Guo Chengyou put down his heart and urged the horse to come out of the crowd, he was also considered to be a general, so he naturally had a hand in equestrianism, and stepped forward and scolded: "Who is Liu Bin?" ”

No one answered.

Guo Chengyou was furious for a while, looked in the direction of Zhao Jun and said, "Liu Bin, when you see Ben Zhizhou, don't you come out to greet you?" ”

His attitude was very unkind.

Zhao Junbao's Yingzhou commander is the leader of the local forbidden army, and Guo Chengyou has several under him, namely the commander of the Xiang army and the commander of the forbidden army, and he is really a petty official in front of him.

But Zhao Jun yawned in the crowd, took out the waist card from his waist and handed it to Huang Sanlang and said, "Go, take his local military power!" ”

"Yes!"

Huang Sanlang took the waist card, then took out an edict from his arms, walked out and shouted: "Bozhou Xiangjun receives the order!" ”

For a moment, there was silence on the field.

Huang Sanlang walked in front of the opposite box army and the forbidden army, ignored Guo Chengyou, raised the silk edict in his hand high, and glared at many box soldiers angrily: "Do you want to rebel?" This is the edict of the Son of Heaven! ”

Regardless of whether it was true or not, at this moment, the Bozhou Xiang Army and the forbidden army were panicked, and hurriedly took back the weapons in their hands, and Guo Chengyou on the side was stunned and did not dare to make any moves.

Seeing this situation, Huang Sanlang opened the edict in his hand with satisfaction and said: "Zhao Junyi, the prefect of the Song Imperial Academy, and the Duke of Song Guo. The system said: Zhao Jun, the Duke of Song Dynasty, was edicted to inspect the world, and the local army and the forbidden army were all subject to dispatch. ”

"Song Song Guogong. Constitutional Yuan Knowledge? ”

Guo Chengyou's mouth opened wide.

Huang Sanlang took out Zhao Jun's waist card again and said: "The order of the Governor of the Constitutional Yuan is here, everyone, immediately put down the weapons in your hands." The official issued an edict before leaving, but those who hurt the prefect in the slightest will destroy their clan. Did you hear it, who dares to hurt a single hair of the Zhiyuan today, all of you here, all of you will destroy the Nine Clans! ”

"Dingding, dingding!"

The sound of all kinds of weapons being thrown on the ground sounded all of a sudden, not because of Zhao Jun's might, but because the cavalry team outside the city was also killed at this moment, all of them were in the armor of the Great Song Dynasty Shenwu Forbidden Army.

The forbidden army is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, and some of the forbidden army does not even have armor, and the weapons and equipment are very poor.

And some forbidden troops are not only fully armed, but also have a set of armor of 58 times, and are even equipped with war horses, strong bows and crossbows, and the two sides are not at the same level at all.

In addition to the more than 200 Imperial City Division guards on the ship, Zhao Jun's guards also had two battalions of Shenwu Guard, one battalion of 800 people, all of whom were foot soldiers. The other battalion was cavalry, with more than 300 men, and it was also the most elite group in the forbidden army.

More than 300 cavalrymen wore the best armor and surrounded them with the best weapons, not to mention the box army in Bozhou that did not have a high will to fight, and even the forbidden army in Bozhou, which was slightly stronger than them, were also worried.

Even if the holy decree didn't come out, everyone didn't dare to question Zhao Jun's identity.

Several Xiang army commanders and Bozhou commanders hurriedly obeyed the instructions and threw down their weapons and equipment.

In the midst of Huang Sanlang's reprimand and the coercion of Zhao Jun's guards and forbidden troops around him, the soldiers squatted on the ground one by one and held their heads and did not dare to move.

Soon Zhao Jun's personal guards rushed up to disarm them.

Zhao Jun walked out yawning, and he was really tired and sleepy all night.

Originally, I thought I was going to sleep, and then when the canal was dredged, I took a boat, and the army escorted a group of criminals and criminal evidence to Qiao County to deal with Guo Chengyou, but I didn't expect him to send it to the door by himself.

"Guo Zhizhou, early in the morning, with so many troops, came to find Benzhiyuan with a menacing attitude."

Zhao Jun walked closer, raised his head to look at Guo Chengyou on horseback, and said with a smile: "Are you planning to rebel?" Or are you planning to murder Shangguan? ”

This big hat was buttoned down, which made Guo Chengyou frightened at the time, but suddenly remembered his backstage, so he calmed down and said: "It turned out to be the prefect, I didn't know that the prefect came to Bozhou, and the lower officials failed to greet him, please prefect Haihan." The lower official heard the order of the county of Yuxian County that there were soldiers and bandits in Yuxian County, so he led the troops to quell the chaos. ”

"Oh?"

Zhao Jun glanced at the squatting van army and forbidden army on the ground and said, "You don't have the Privy Council's troop transfer warrant and tiger talisman, who gave Ling the courage to mobilize so many soldiers and horses?" ”

"Since it is a peaceful rebellion, it is naturally based on speed, and the soldiers are fast, haven't you heard of the phrase "Haven't you heard of it?"

Although Guo Chengyou has vaguely heard of Zhao Jun's power, he has never seen it with his own eyes, and secondly, his backstage is the current emperor, as the son-in-law of the Zhao family, and he is also the attendant of the East Palace, it can be said that he is Zhao Zhen's Yuan Cong, and he is naturally not afraid of foreign ministers.

But he obviously found the wrong person, Zhao Jun sneered and said: "It's right that the soldiers are fast, but you didn't find out the details of the other party's identity, and secondly, you regarded the forbidden army of the Xiang army as your own guard, and regarded the law of the court as nothing, and you still dare to shout?" ”

Guo Chengyou was obviously in front of the hob meat, and said with a smile: "The court law has its own court law, but the prefect should not hold on to the law." If it is really a rebellion caused by soldiers and bandits tonight, and there is no telling how many people have died in the city, can the prefect take on this responsibility? ”

"Oh throat?"

Zhao Jun thought about it, and nodded rarely: "You have a lot of truth in what you said, this Zhiyuan believes it, then you will be exempted from the charge of mobilizing soldiers and horses." ”

"Thank you!"

Guo Chengyou bowed his hand on the horse, his face proud.

Who doesn't know his background?

Even if the prime minister who leans towards the government and the opposition, doesn't he still have to give him a little thin noodles?

However, Zhao Jun continued: "The crime of mobilizing soldiers and horses is exempted, so let's talk about the fact that you were corrupt and bent the law, painted for the sake of fame, and ruined the people's families." ”

A thin old man beside Zhao Jun stood up, glared at him angrily and said, "Zhiyuan, this is the fang." My brother Zhang Xian has accumulated virtue and done good deeds all his life, and he has a lot of prestige in Bozhou. For the sake of that painting, he fabricated charges and killed my virtuous brother, please ask the Zhiyuan to make decisions for my virtuous brother! ”

Tian Chang can be regarded as having a lifelong friendship with the Bozhou tycoon Zhang family, and if he changes to someone else, even if he climbs into a powerful person, he may not dare to do this in the face of another powerful person.

Because the essence of the protection of officials and officials is actually the exchange of interests.

Between one official and another official, there is essentially mutual help with authority. If you have power in your hands, you can naturally export your own interests.

And for ordinary people, what can they bring to an official? Nothing can be given.

Even if a clean official wants to stand up for the people, the cost and price to pay are very high, especially the Great Song Dynasty, a dynasty with a high tolerance for corrupt officials and corrupt officials.

People like Fan Zhongyan, Bao Zheng, Zhao Luan, and Chen Xiliang are only a few.

The vast majority of them are either like Wang Sui who are inactive and have a vegetarian meal. or like Guo Chengyou, reckless and lawless.

Therefore, as a businessman who can see through the essence of these things, Tian Chang can muster up the courage to expose Guo Chengyou to Zhao Jun, which can be regarded as his benevolence and righteousness to his brother.

Fortunately, he didn't make a mistake.

Hearing Tian Chang's words, Guo Chengyou was shocked, and then denied it in every possible way: "Governor, this is all framed by someone, and there is no such thing." Zhang Fu oppressed the good, the evidence was conclusive, and it was reported to the Huainan Criminal Division, which had already been inspected. ”

"Then it seems that there is a problem with the Huainan Criminal Division, and it will also be investigated."

Zhao Jun nodded with a slight groan.

"Huh."

Hearing his words, Guo Chengyou smiled and said: "The prefect is a good method, this way to the criminal division, just investigate." ”

"Well, don't talk about the Criminal Division, I said that the three divisions would be investigated, what about Han Yi or the deputy cardinal? How about now? ”

Zhao Jun asked rhetorically: "You are a little from Wupin Zhizhou, but you are very bold." ”

"Oh?"

Guo Chengyou pretended not to know: "What does the prefect mean, the lower officials don't understand." ”

"I think you're pretending to be confused."

Zhao Jun said: "Zhang Fu's matter, what else do you have to say?" ”

"Without evidence and no certificate, it is not clear to rely on the Zhiyuan's mouth."

Guo Chengyou sneered: "If you want the lower official to admit his guilt, the prefect will come up with evidence of the crime." ”

At least he felt that Zhao Jun didn't have any evidence of Zhang Fu's incident in his hands now.

Zhao Jun really has no incriminating evidence in his hands.

He originally planned to go to Bozhou to investigate the matter, but on the way, he encountered the case of the Wang family's daughter and implicated Guo Chengyou.

But Zhao Jun has other incriminating evidence.

He pointed to the box behind him and laughed: "Then you are corrupt and solicit bribes, help the landlord to take advantage of the robbery, and also rape the people and rob the people, the evidence is conclusive, tell me, what crime should you be guilty of?" ”

"Amount"

Guo Chengyou was stunned for a moment, this is what he was afraid of.

It is quite embarrassing to be lawless in the place for too long, too public, and not careful, and a basket of incriminating evidence is placed there.

But it is recorded in history that he was "involved in arrogance and no one was courteous", so even if Zhao Jun found evidence of the crime, Guo Chengyou still said rampantly: "You should be demoted, so what?" It's a big deal for me to go to the local area to be a regimental training envoy for two years, and the official family will bring me up in a year or two. ”

"Huh."

Zhao Jun smiled, felt sleepiness coming, yawned, stood in place and calmed down a little, then cheered up, pointed at Guo Chengyou and shouted: "You get off the horse for me!" ”

The sound was very loud, and it broke out all of a sudden, making Guo Chengyou stunned at that time.

Then Zhao Jun shouted: "Where are the Praetorian Guards? ”

"In!"

"Arrest this maniac."

"Yes."

Many Janissaries rushed over at once.

Guo Chengyou was shocked and said, "Zhao Jun, what do you mean?" ”

"What do you mean?"

Zhao Jun raised his head, contemptuously said to him: "You are a small Zhizhou, you dare to be so big, in front of this Zhiyuan, refuse to reply. Do you think that you are the son-in-law of the Zhao family, and you are from the East Palace, so the Honzhiyuan will not dare to touch you? People like you, I've killed a lot in Bianliang, and the officials can't save you when they come, I said! ”

"Take it!"

When he finished speaking, he waved his hand.

In an instant, the surrounding Praetorian Guards swarmed up, pulled Guo Chengyou off his horse, and pressed him to the ground.

Guo Chengyou shouted: "Zhao Jun, if you dare to touch me, the official family will not let you go." ”

"That's wrong, it's not going to let go of the official family when I cover up something like you, and when I go back to Bianliang, I will scold him fiercely."

Zhao Jun walked over, looked down at him and said, "As for you, you may not live to that time." I'm a little sleepy, so I'll go rest first, and I'll send someone to copy your house later, and I'll wait for me to sleep and get up, and then I'll ask you about it. ”

With that, he turned around and left, leaving only the ground stunned.
