"The court is really short of money? Then give the officials additional salary?" Li Zitong tilted his head and was a little confused.

The housekeeper smiled flatteringly and said, "So what if the salary is increased? Can it be worth the money we sent?"

"Is the county priest's mother going to celebrate her birthday?" Li Zitong slightly said to the butler, "Please buy more gifts and send them."

The butler nodded and said casually: "There were hundreds of soldiers from the county yesterday. I heard that they were from Northern Zhili to wipe out the Wenxiang Sect."

"Smell the Incense Sect--" Li Zitong blinked his eyes and smiled indifferently, "What's up to us?"

"Yes, yes, it's not our business." The housekeeper nodded and bowed, and retreated.

Li Zitong savored the tea, glanced at the "Ming Dynasty Forum" on the table, and then slapped. But he was also a little confused, why did the imperial court's edict have not been issued yet?

Logically speaking, Guangning's victory and Liaonan's victory are all great joys, why don't you celebrate with the people? After a few more edicts and a little operation, will your own arrears be cleared?

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a noise outside, which made Li Zitong frown. The sound became louder and closer, and Li Zitong quickly stood up and walked towards the door.

The butler stumbling in and almost knocked over Li Zitong. Before he could scold him, the butler reported in panic: "Master, Master, it's not good. The officers and soldiers surrounded the house and have already rushed in."

What? Li Zitong was shocked, her mouth was so open that she couldn't close, and she was shocked.

"Squat down, hold your head, and don't run around in a turbulent manner."

"Xiang never asks to capture the rebel Li Zitong."

Accompanied by shouting and scolding, the officers and soldiers who were like wolves and tigers approached from the surroundings. The servants and the guards in the house did not dare to resist, and squatted in obediently and hugged their heads.

Rebel?! Li Zitong's eyes moved in a daze, and cold sweat emerged from his back. He hurried forward and bowed, "Li Zitong, a grass man, has always been abide by the law and dared not engage in trouble. The official must have had any misunderstanding..."

This crime is too great. Once confirmed, it will not only make you unable to protect yourself, but also your whole family will suffer.

Li Zitong was not particularly scared at this time. He felt very innocent and had a clear conscience.

"Are you Li Zitong?" An officer stepped forward and looked at it, then waved his hand, "Binding it."

The two officers and soldiers stepped forward, without any explanation, tied Li Zitong's rope and kicked him to kneel on the ground.

"I'll be optimistic about the rebels and the prisoners." The officer shouted and ordered his subordinates, and gave in to the side. Several Dongchang men came out from behind.

"Start the search!" A leader looked calm and briefly ordered his subordinates, and walked towards the study first.

Several Dongchang men immediately took action and searched the house and picked it up.

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!" Li Zitong was still confused and knelt on the ground to defend himself, "Give Cao Min a bold man, and he dared not rebel! Someone must have falsely accused him, and Cao Min was willing to confront him in person."

"Shut up!" A soldier shouted, and the knife in his hand swayed in front of Li Zitong, and the world became quiet.

The officer looked around at the house with carved beams and painted buildings with his hands behind his back.

Rich people always say they are grass-roots people, but when did grass-roots people become so rich?

He didn't care whether Li Zitong was guilty or not. The soldiers were ordered to act and it was quite hard to come from Northern Zhili. But this was a good thing. Each person was rewarded with silver with ten taels of silver, and there were food and drinks along the way.

I heard that there were more than a dozen small troops with this mission, but those who didn't get it were very jealous. The officer thought that he could get twenty taels, but it was quite a lot of money!

The Dongchang men searched one by one and met in front of the hall. The leader rushed over, but seemed to have found nothing.

Li Zitong looked at him secretly and breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, a Dongchang man rushed over with something and reported to the leader: "Sir, this was found by Bei Zhi under the bed."

Under the bed, Li Zitong's heart raised. Apart from some deeds and land deeds, there seemed to be nothing taboo!

The leader reached out to take it, looked through it, and a letter attracted his attention. He took it out and just took a simple look. The leader looked at Li Zitong with a silence.

"So it's Governor Li, I'm so disrespectful." The leader took a few steps and shook the letter in his hand, "The letter from the thief leader Wang Haoxian, I'll give you your official position."

Li Zitong opened her mouth wide, her face full of shock and incredibleness. After a while, she wailed, "It's unfair, the people are wronged..."

He kicked Li Zitong hard on the face, blood came out of his nose and mouth, and a few teeth fell off.

The leader sneered and waved his hand to order: "All prisoners were detained and interrogated, the door was sealed and the house was raided, and people were sent to guard them."

"Yes." The officer responded and quickly carried out with his subordinates [Pencil Novel www.qbxs.me].

……………………

Suzhou Prefecture was under the jurisdiction of Wuxian, Changzhou County, Changshu County, Wujiang County, Kunshan County, Jiading County, Chongming County and Taicang Prefecture in the Ming Dynasty. Almost all of these seven counties and one prefecture were performing similar scenes.

There is also Songjiang Prefecture, even far away in Shaanxi, Shanxi and Henan. Some wealthy landlords were involved in the incense sect and were arrested and confiscated.

People are panic, but no one dares to defend themselves. Who dares to go to this muddy water for the crime of rebellion?

Immediately afterwards, local officials in these counties and prefectures were dismissed from office and questioned. There were so many remnants of the incense-smelling sect under their rule. Isn’t it a dereliction of duty?

According to Zhu Youxiao's truth, you can't control the many tax-owed ones under your rule, and you don't dare to touch the rich landlords who embezzled military fields. This official is nothing!

Even if you force the wealthy businessmen and gentry to stop and cause trouble, I will make the decision. I am not afraid of you to make trouble, but I am afraid that you will just live and wait for death, occupy the pit and not poop, or even be corrupt and corrupt.

How is Shaanxi? Qingtun Qing was so resentful that the people were boiling, and there were constant memorials and impeachments, but I still fully support Zuo Guangdou.

He dared to attack the governor's yamen to cause trouble, dared to incite the riots to smash, loot and burn, and captured them all, and immediately rectify the law. The culprit was beheaded, his house was confiscated, and exiled.

I know very well that if I don’t touch the interests of the local tyrants and evil gentry, I will not make such a fierce thing, and I will still be the illusion of stability in the place.

I don’t have illusions, I want real achievements. As long as you do your job sincerely, I will give you Shangfang Sword, I will send the Embroidered Uniform Guard to protect you, and I will shelter you from the wind and rain.

As for the actions of Su, Song prefectures and Shaanxi provinces, my methods are not very bright and the punishment is too heavy. Tax evasion and embezzlement of military camps have become rebellion, but I do not regret it.

We will not let the rich and gentry fear national laws and eliminate a group of people who are in vain. How to advance reforms and deepen them, and how can we truly benefit the people?
