Chapter 268: Strike while the iron is hot

Master Dazhi took seven or eight people to Puji Temple on the second day, Ning Suo had already gotten the news in advance, and immediately welcomed people in, and the fake monks of the Zhang family were all tied together, and those people were afraid that they would be wiped out when they got out of the temple gate, and they shouted one by one to be real monks, but the Dazhi monks who had always been merciful did not accept them, and only used a sentence of 'six impurities' to reject people.

Ning Suo confessed that there was still food for the Zhang family hidden in this temple, and after being temporarily handed over to the care of the Dazhi monk, he left a few people and left with the rest of the people, and rushed back to Yongcheng to complete the other errands assigned by Yan Mu'an.

The Zhang family and other gentry did not delay the major events in the field because the head of the family was imprisoned, and the next generation of heirs of the Li family and the Xie family coincidentally chose to sell the Zhang family in order to atone for their crimes.

"How many years have we known each other, my aunt is still the head of your Li family, you are treacherous."

The Zhang family was angry, and the Li family frowned coldly, "This time, yes, it was all your Zhang family who took the lead in the fire, dragging my Li family into the water, do you want our Li family to accompany you to die." ”

The Xie family also opened their mouths, "It's not the Zhang family's advocacy, how can my father make a move, the yamen didn't target our Xie family, and the Zhang family should explain this matter to us." “

"Okay, okay, now you don't admit it, right, my father tied you up, don't say anything when it's good, and put all the fault on our family when something happens?"

The people of the Zhang family were not to be outdone, "I really think that our Zhang family has no handle from you, and we want to die together." ”

The Li family and the others are not afraid, they are ready to break their muscles and bones, as long as they can pass this hurdle safely, they will naturally have a chance to make a comeback.

"Several families sold the Zhang family cleanly, including where the Zhang family's hidden land is, how much, and through what method to hide all of them, these alone add up to more than 50,000 acres, and also explain in detail where the Zhang family's grain is sold, and their biggest merchant is also available."

"The Zhang family is not to be outdone, and the affairs of each family have also been arched, and now it is the Zhang family against the rest of the families, and the two parties have spared no effort to betray each other, and they really let them break out a few things."

Yan Mu'an took the booklet handed by Governor Yang and read it for a while, but he didn't see any clues, "Go and ask Gongzi Yu to come here." ”

After putting down the booklet, he gave the list to Governor Yang on the side, "These are the students and some people with merit who made trouble together this time, my people have been carefully interrogated, and they can't be wronged, Zhang Yuanwai and others were convicted of the crime and announced at the same time on the same day that the meritorious ones will be removed from the meritorious name, and the people without merit will not be allowed to step into the door of the examination room within ten years, and the twenty people circled out at the top are serious crimes, slandering the court and insulting the court officials, how to deal with you according to the regulations." ”

Governor Yang took the list and said with some concern, "This matter has been sent to the capital by horse to wait for the emperor's ruling, do you need to wait?" ”

Yan Mu'an shook his head, "Strike while the iron is hot, this comes and goes for two months, and after two months, the matter has passed for the people, and it will not have the deterrent effect it should have. ”

Governor Yang was relieved, as long as the palace could support this matter, he would be able to let it go.

"If the evidence of the Zhang family's crime is conclusive, how will those fields and properties be settled?"

Yan Mu'an didn't think about it, "All the fields and properties are registered, and then they will be sold out." ”

Yang Zhifu has not left Yongyu yet, he has not left Yongyu these days, he can be said to be busy with his feet not touching the ground, and he has to bring a lot of people, you can help him, after reading the brochure handed over by Yan Mu'an, he frowned, "The grain of the Zhang family has been sold to the land of chaos, and there are more minerals in the land of chaos, and there has always been a shortage of grain, and the price of buying grain from outside countries is high, is this a risk for money?" ”

"But the imperial court has always stipulated that grain cannot be sold in the territory of Southern Qi, and this Zhang family is so bold."

Yang Zhifu shuddered for a moment, if this is the case, the Zhang family's crime will be great, not to mention that this matter still happened under his nose, this

Yan Mu'an's gaze fell on him, "Lord Yang, you can't escape the blame for this matter, but this is also your chance, follow this line, I don't believe that only the Zhang family's grain has been sold to the chaotic land, and after finding it out, you can not only protect your official position but also make meritorious contributions." ”

"It's up to you how you choose."

Governor Yang hurriedly stepped forward to thank him, "Thank you for the princess's reminder, the lower officials will do their best to investigate this matter." ”

"The next official retired."

Yan Mu'an nodded, Yang Zhifu hurriedly turned around and left, and Yongyu stayed to talk about the progress of the matter at hand, "Our first shop in Yongcheng will open on the fifth day, and this place in Yongcheng is more convenient than the capital, especially the entry and exit of goods." ”

Yan Mu'an asked her to sort out the merchants in Yongcheng and connect them to maximize their benefits.

"Second Master Yan is already working on this matter, and it is going well."

Yan Mu'an showed a satisfied look, "You can be in charge alone, I am very relieved that you will do these things, if you need to mention it as soon as possible, I will do my best to help you." ”

Yongyu nodded, feeling that it would be better to live in Yongcheng.

The scorching sun scorched the summer cicadas, the day of the autumn harvest came, the fields were full of busy people, and the men of the Yong family were also ready, and as soon as the grain was dried, they would choose a day to go to the countryside to collect grain taxes.

The grain collectors of the Yamen flattered the secrets of collecting grain before, and the people of the Yong family hooked their lips and sneered, "The princess has an order, not to collect more grain from the people this year, it seems that you have all heard it in your ears." ”

"What's the matter, what's the matter, why did you drag us into the water together by the way?"

The person who spoke was called Yong Mingshun, the third brother of Yong's third master, this time he finally came to get such a beautiful job, and the people of their Yong family did not collect grain for profit at all this time, that is to let the people of Yongcheng know how upright their royal family is, and that is to earn a good reputation for the Yong family.

Yong Mingshun said, "This time I went to collect the grain tax and gave me a little tighter, what you did before had already stabbed the princess, but you haven't freed up your hands to clean you up, why, Governor Yang didn't give you a tight skin?" “

"This time it's tense, I can't say that I can still get a chance to make meritorious contributions, as a grain collector, how many heads do you have to take off the tax grain?"

Governor Yang said, but he didn't say it explicitly, after all, he himself is guilty of meritorious service, and now Yong Mingshun has said things so bluntly, these grain collectors are all weak in their legs, thinking that the good days are really over.
