Chapter Thirty-Nine: Which King's Law Was Broken?
ps: Thank you Lingsu Jushi and Ahara for your rewards, and thank Duan Mi for eating rabbits and dripping radish monthly tickets for encouragement.
The sun was rising, the sky was white, and outside the earthen enclosure of the Long family in the south of the city, a team of people came with great fanfare.
This team of nearly 100 people, including 20 inspectors from the Daomen Wuji Courtyard, and more than 70 Yamen third-class officers and archers, each holding a blade, a whistle, an iron ruler, an iron chain, a bow and a crossbow, etc., were murderous. Leading the team was Zhao Ran, the master of the Fangtang of Wuji Academy, and his old partner Jin County Lieutenant.
It wasn't until the team blocked the gate of the manor and stopped at a moment that the Chinese side of the manor was shocked to realize that an old housekeeper came out with a few guards to open the door, watched in disbelief for a moment, and finally recognized the county lieutenant Jin in the team, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Lord Jin, I don't know what you have to do in our village? ”
County Lieutenant Jin snorted coldly, took out the paperwork from his arms, showed it to the housekeeper, and said loudly: "Wuji Yuan and Guyang County Ya jointly signed it, and the Long family's mansion will be raided immediately, and none of the relatives and servants, upper and lower people, etc., will not be allowed to escape!"
The housekeeper was shocked: "Where does this start? What royal law has my Long family violated, Lord Jin will explain it clearly first!"
Jin Xianwei said disdainfully: "I want to know what royal law I have committed? When I wait for the + hall, I will tell you one by one!" shouted behind him: "Left and right, let me go into the village and get people!"
The third-class officials burst out with a loud promise, and immediately poured into the manor, and several of them split their hands, tied the housekeeper and several guards with ropes, and threw them directly by the wall.
County Lieutenant Jin smiled at Zhao Ran and said, "Lord Zhao Fang, please!"
Zhao Ran raised his hand and said politely: "County Lieutenant Jin, please first." ”
The two got off their mounts side by side, stepped into Longjiazhuang, walked straight to the main hall of the flower hall, and sat down on the top. I listened to the commotion in the manor. The sound of shouting, slamming on the door, crying, and anger was mixed with the barking of chickens and dogs.
Longjiazhuang is different from Zongjiazhuang, it has no courage to resist the Taoist Academy and the government, and no one dares to escape, but it only takes a moment. Dozens of Long clan relatives and servants were tied up and tied up outside the main hall.
Among the leaders of the Long clan, there were leaders who kept shouting: "I want to see Jin Xianwei! I want to reason with Jin Xianwei! Where is Kong Xianzun? I want to see Kong Xianzun!"
Zhao Ran and County Lieutenant Jin were not in a hurry, they took care of the tea that Guan Er and Lu Jingang had just brewed, drank it slowly in small sips, and discussed the price of rice in Guyang County from time to time.
"Zhao Fang's main means are good, these days into a large amount of grain, I heard that there is more grain into Guyang today, the price of rice in the county finally stopped rising, and no one cares about the grain shops. Presumably, those big families won't last long. ”
"One qiē is all thanks to the presiding over the Zhang Supervision Institute of the Xizhenwu Palace, and the poor road is just at the right time. ”
"Zhang Jian Yuan is really compassionate, this is the blessing of my Long'an Mansion. ”
"It is true that not only the Zhang Prison Yuan, but also the Xuanyuan Guan Li Prison Yuan also made a big contribution to it, so there is so much rice and grain transferred into Guyang. ”
While drinking tea, Zhao Ran revealed the inside information to Lieutenant Jin to strengthen Lieutenant Jin's determination. Lieutenant Jin was really shocked. Surprised: "Even the Li Prison ...... Xuanyuanguan's Li Prison Yuan?"
"Exactly. ”
"Li Yunhe?"
Zhao Ran smiled: "Which Li Prison is there in Xuanyuan Temple?"
County Lieutenant Jin sighed, and looked at Zhao Ran with a different look.
I was chatting. The head of the henchman team of the county lieutenant Jin whispered and handed over a slip of paper, the county lieutenant Jin looked at it and said to Zhao Ran with a smile: "Lord Zhao Fang, I didn't expect the Long family to loot so many people's fat and people's ointment over the years. As he spoke, he handed the list to Zhao Ran.
Zhao Ran smiled and waved his hand: "County Lieutenant Jin looks at it." ”
County Lieutenant Kim nodded. Twisted the fire and lit the list, and said, "Then it's still the old rule, half for one person." ”
"Didn't you say that you are seven and I am three?"
"How can this be done? Jin was just joking that day, and Zhao Fang didn't take it seriously. ”
"Poor Dao never jokes, and he never takes back what he says. Seventy percent of the county lieutenant of Jin, thirty percent of the poor road, that's it!"
"Uh...... What's so embarrassing about that...... Well, then thank you Lord Zhao. ”
After the three classes of officials checked and sealed the rooms of the Long Manor, the errand was completed. Zhao Ran and Jin County Lieutenant got up and prepared to leave, and when they went out of the hall, they happened to see the Long clan relatives and servants tied up outside the hall, among which the leader broke free a few steps and grabbed Zhao Ran and Jin County Lieutenant, and was immediately beaten a few times by the messenger and pressed to the ground.
Zhao Ran stopped and glanced at it a few times, and saw that this person was in his thirties, although he was in his thirties, although he was in shape, his face was extremely handsome, and Zhao Ran couldn't help but admire when he saw it. Looking at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, they all reveal an arrogant demeanor, and they also have a kind of abundant and elegant atmosphere, and the halo of a male protagonist's feet is shrouded in his head.
County Lieutenant Jin introduced: "This is the master of the Long Clan. ”
The man struggled to himself, raised his eyes and said angrily: "Lord Jin, which royal law has my Long clan violated, and I don't know if I have suffered this calamity in vain, I will definitely give an explanation today!"
Zhao Ran looked down at the head of the Long family who was being held down at his feet, and asked, "You are Long Aotian?"
Long Aotian raised his head and said coldly: "Yes, it is Long! Is the Dao Chief the Lord of Zhao Fang? Long has offended the Dao Chief, and the Dao Chief only needs to find Long, and if there is anything that Long is alone, why is the Long clan implicated? The Dao Chief uses his power for personal gain, and Long is not convinced!"
Zhao Ranqi said: "You say that the poor road uses power for personal gain?
Long Aotian sneered: "For the sake of the 10,000 acres of land west of Coindu Mountain, the Taoist chief did not hesitate to meddle in the affairs of Qingmiao's money, disrupted the imperial court into law, and shook the foundation of my gentry.
Zhao Ran was amused: "I always thought that Long Aotian was a cold and arrogant stinky temper, and I didn't want to meet a sharp-tongued person like you, pulling things around, and using his tongue in vain, it really subverted the three views......"
Long Aotian: "......"
Zhao Ran said to a squad leader beside the county lieutenant Jin: "Didn't he ask which royal law he had violated?"
The head of the squad counted the black materials of the Long family collected by the county lieutenant Jin one by one, and Zhao Ran and the county lieutenant Jin Shi Ran walked out of the Long manor in the voice of the guilty verdict.
The news of the raid of the Long family in the south of the city spread all over the county, and this move to kill chickens and monkeys was really ruthless, and the wealthy gentry in the entire Guyang County were shaken. More than a dozen large households, including Zhang's, Jiao's, Zhou's, and Quan's, went back and forth, exchanged news, and nervously began to negotiate countermeasures.
Just when the gentry came and went, a large number of convoys transporting rice and grain appeared at the foot of Wuji Mountain, and countless grain bags were loaded into the granaries of Jinji Rice Shop, piling up several newly built granaries with little place to go. The Jin Ji rice shop directly lowered the price of rice to 30 wen per bucket, and the people rushed to tell each other, and bought a large amount in front of the Jin Ji rice shop.
The big families led by the Zhang family contacted urgently and met at the Zhang manor. That night, more than a dozen wealthy gentry came to Zhang's manor, and under the auspices of the head of the Zhang family, they began to discuss countermeasures. Everyone, you and I, carry all kinds of reliable and unreliable construction. Some said that they wanted to go to the political envoy to sue Long Aotian for being raided for no reason, some said that they wanted to contact the backers of the court and the central government to impeach Kong Xianzun, some said that they wanted to recruit land scoundrels to attack the Jin Ji rice shop, and some said that they would hire assassins to assassinate them, and the assassination list listed a long list of names, from Zhang Yunzhao and Jing Zhimo down, to Song Zhiyuan, Kong County Ling, Zhao Ran, Jin County Lieutenant and so on, and even Guan Er was on the list.
The gentry discussed and discussed, and they discussed until the second half of the night, but they could not come up with a safe way. The head of the Zhang family was dizzy by the noise, went back to the room to rest for more than an hour, and when he came out again, he couldn't help but be angry when he saw that everyone was still arguing.
It was already dawn, and the head of the Zhang family ordered the servants to bring breakfast, so that everyone could continue to discuss, he had made up his mind, and he would never stop if he did not discuss the ugliness of the family.
While the gentry were enjoying breakfast, someone suddenly asked, "Hey, why don't you see Luo Xiangeun?"
The head of the Zhang family saw that there was really no Luo Xiangeun among the people present. This kind of time is the most sensitive, and Luo Xiangeun did not come to the meeting, which immediately aroused some suspicion, and the atmosphere in the hall was immediately cold.
The head of the Zhang family hurriedly called the housekeeper and asked him to go to Wutang in person, and be sure to invite the eunuch of Luo Township to reassure people. The housekeeper had only been out for half an hour, and then he ran back out of breath, and said urgently: "Master, something is wrong." ”
The head of the Zhang family chuckled in his heart and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
The housekeeper said with a sad face: "The Luo family has opened a grain shop in the county town, and the price of rice is thirty wen per bucket!"
As soon as the words landed, the hall suddenly fell silent. (To be continued......) R752
