The emperor of the old Zhu family is famous for his "widely keen" and is not a good person. He can take a look at the history books, such as the weaving emperor, the immortal cultivation emperor, the carpenter emperor... Of course, there is also the general Zhengde.

I don’t know if this “willfulness” was engraved into the genes of the Old Zhu family, which led to the general family being the same.

Shen Rui looked at a small lacquer wood token in his hand and twitched the corner of his mouth. Shou Ge had not yet become the "general" emperor, but he first encountered a more unreliable "Shan Da Wang" royal family.

The brand is not considered a precious wood, but the workmanship is quite exquisite. The tiger carvings down the mountain are lifelike and not majestic. The word "Ling" is also like a famous artist's handwriting, vigorous and powerful.

But it was clearly written on it, the Divine Arm of the Red Tiger Village, Zhu Youqiu.

It's actually a real name!

Those who usually raise thieves, such as King Ning raised water bandits in Taihu Lake and bandits in Jiangxi, were all raised as chess pieces and scattered soldiers.

However, Zhu Youxian, the general of the Zhao Fanlin-Linzhang Palace, had a true feeling to be a bandit, gathered a hundred scoundrels and desperate people, established a mountain village on Cishan, and personally took over as a mountain. King, it’s okay, don’t change your name or surname, I really don’t know if it’s to make a token or a business card!

"Does this order be used in the world?" He Taizhi was curious and played with a token in his hand, humbly asking for advice from his senior Du Laoba of the world.

Du Laoba was so smirked that he almost broke his anger and shouted, "Mr. He, don't be deceived by him! This person is still the county magistrate to issue a signature? Hahaha! Which one on the road uses this? Yes Lao Wan?"

He Taizhi also laughed out loud.

Shen Rui couldn't help but smile, and he was as speculated that the royal family was the Queen of the East Palace, who was peeling green onions. This general of the State assisted the country probably regarded the world as a script.

The short and strong man named "Lao Wan" standing in the lower head laughed a lot, but he was quite restrained and did not dare to joke casually.

This person was the bandit who kidnapped Du Min that day, named Wan Dongjiang.

Taking the news of Du Min and the bandits as a meeting gift, Du Laoba helped Du to take over Chihu Village in Cishan. Now Wan Dongjiang has successfully transformed from a robbery to a escort, and has brought his brothers into the wind. Standard line.

They all rely on the "road" to make a living. Wan Dongjiang can be said to be familiar with his face and the rules. This is a way to change his career without any obstacles.

But he is a newcomer, and in front of Shen Rui, a high-ranking official with elite soldiers, he will inevitably shrink his hands and feet.

Shen Rui was kind to him. Because this person was well versed in the tricks of bandits, he searched the Chihu Village inside and out. He kept all the living mouths that should be kept, and the physical evidence that should be taken was gone. The work was clean and beautiful, which made Shen Rui's follow-up work much easier.

"Lao Wan, I have to work hard for a few days and you and your brothers. The mountain pass has to send someone to guard it. You can't leave for the time being." Shen Rui waved his hand and stopped He Taizhi and Du Laoba's jokingly, and made the fool of himself. The token was thrown back into the evidence box and turned to Wandongjiang Road.

Wan Dongjiang quickly bowed and replied, saying, "I dare not dare, but I must get things done for the adults."

Shen Rui nodded slightly and said to Du Laoba again: "Old Du, please withdraw from Taihang people. You can take people to Zhu Youqiu's water and land pier, keep an eye on it, and wait for news here and then take action."

Du Laoba immediately patted his chest to ensure that everything was foolproof.

When he visited his old friends, he learned that the situation in Henan was serious, so he had already begun to draw good men from the relatively stable Eight Immortals chariot shops from the relatively stable eastern part of the Northern Zhili to Shandong line to help. Now many have arrived.

This dock is different from a copycat. It has no hidden places and no masters. It is mostly a gangster. Du Laoba’s Qinglang Gang is originally from the market and is the best at dealing with such people.

The two of them took the order. He Taizhi was still looking through the evidence and was quite excited. He asked Shen Rui: "Second brother, are we going to Anyang (Fucheng) now? Wu'an..."

After the bandit rebellion that day, Shen Rui and his party were stationed in Wu'an County. They were on the surface to provide disaster relief and people, and naturally in secret, they were investigating Zhu Youxian's various illegal activities.

Gao Wenhu's subordinates divided into several groups. In addition to continuing to arrest the bandits with great fanfare, they also helped the county guard some uneasy disaster victims and helped maintain the disaster relief order of Li Li's labor-for-relief.

This bandit chaos caused a lot of damage to Wu'an Xixiang, Nanxiang, and many villages were destroyed and many people were killed. Li Li's simple shack construction method was very useful and facilitated centralized management of disaster victims.

Li Li's labor-for-relief is mainly in the water conservancy aspect, and a large number of victims were mobilized to take advantage of the dry season to clear rivers, dig ditches and build canals, and prepare for next spring plowing.

Shen Rui arranged a batch of road construction work - Wu'an is full of mountains and always has to rely on the mountains to earn the mountains. No matter what you need to plant in the mountains, you need a road to transport it.

After the chaos in Wu'an, people were at ease, and the villagers were mostly simple. The rule of "only those who work can eat" was their main driving force for their work, and the construction of canals was for their own fields. The county magistrate and chief clerk vigorously promoted that Shen Qingtian had led Shandong to become rich. Everyone felt that Wu'an's good days were right in front of him, so they naturally worked hard.

Of course, no matter whether it is a thorn or a slippery head, they are all pulled out and thrown into the heaviest work, so no one dares to make trouble.

The big families in the city even recognize Shen Qingtian's golden signboard. Who knows that Dengzhou is like a lot of mountains and fields, and it has been famine for years at the beginning, but what about now? It is better than Jinan Prefecture, and it has the nickname of Xiao Jiangnan!

How many wealthy businessmen have risen during this period!

Let’s talk about the Lei family, which Wu'an will help, that was just a small landlord in the mountains. Who knew him? But now when it comes to Shandong cocoon silk, who doesn’t say that the Lei family is the first one!

The Tartars outside the Great Wall recognized the most. The Lei family came back from Liaodong because they were afraid they would not make any money and silver!

There are not many mountains beside Wu'an, but there are many mountains! If you raise silkworms to weave cocoons and silk, you will travel to the frontier in Shanxi and go out of the border...

The rich people were so excited that their eyes were red when they thought about it. They were eagerly looking forward to Governor Chen attracting Shandong merchants to bring them to make a fortune together, so they would firmly implement the orders whenever Governor Chen had orders.

At this moment, the magistrate’s wife Dong Shuang stood up again to organize the “Jishantang”. The rich families immediately responded actively, donating generously, and even secretly competing for who would donate more.

Some people don't even hide their food at home and donate them together, hoping to name them in the Governor and the magistrate, and think of them first if they have a good life in the future.

In this bandit chaos, almost all the original internal clubs were destroyed. Now the Yellow Book is just rebuilt and the Lijia is reorganized. Because of the donations from "Jishantang", the grains of grains, and the disaster relief issued by the governor. The grain and the plowing ox that promised to be in place next spring, the Zhuzi Society warehouses in each village were quickly established.

At the same time, clearing the land and mu is also progressing rapidly.

There are many families who died in the riots. Whoever is rich in the village cannot hide it. The wealthy family was the target of robbery at the beginning, and many people who survived the disaster were also lost.

The county government checked and checked one by one according to the archives. While distributing the new contract, it naturally checked the hidden fields of the big households clearly. With the governor in charge and the heavy troops on his side, no one dared to act rashly.

It can be said that everything in Wu'an is developing on the right track.

But if this is stable and rest easy, it would be too optimistic.

After all, the chaos has just passed a few days ago, and the bandit leader has not been caught yet, and the behind-the-scenes planner has no shadow.

Zhu Youxian, the general of Zhao Fan, was greedy for money and violent. Chihu Village did participate in this bandit rebellion, but if you want to say that he rebelled, the position of the Nine Five Lord was highly regarded by him. It does not meet the hardware conditions.

King Anhua was a prince after all, and he had to win over the border generals and dared to rebel. Zhu You defeated a general of the country, and was counting on two or three hundred bandits and forty or fifty gangsters to rebel. It was a joke.

Zhu Youfeng is more like taking advantage of the troubled waters, or he may become a knife in the hands of others.

Of course, no matter which one, he must be taken down quickly.

"Wuan is divided into some troops to stay, including Li Yu and his son and Shen Xiu, so there is no big problem. Let's not go to the city of the palace, but go directly to Linzhang." Shen Rui said in a deep voice: "Take down the ghosts and monsters of the Prince of Linzhang Palace first, take down the ghosts and monsters of the Prince of Linzhang Palace first. .”

He Taizhi nodded and said, "But, second brother, if we are involved in the Zhao Prince's Mansion, we have such a few people... I heard that Zhao Fan Ding also has a lot of mouths, so why not wait for Jiang Heizi's side. ?”

"You can't wait any longer, Jiang He's people will not arrive for a while." Shen Rui said. "Henan today cannot stand the trouble and must fight quickly."

He had something in his heart that he was not easy to say to He Taizhi. He had always suspected that King Ning had written this matter, but the evidence he had obtained so far did not connect with Ning Fan.

But Young Master Ning Wang has been in Henan for a while. Theoretically speaking, Henan is so chaotic that they should leave quickly.

However, now I left Henan and entered Zhili, and the time was just right. When I arrived in Beijing in the early twelfth lunar month, I had to stay in Beijing for the New Year. If I wanted to Sixiang in Taimiao, I would not have time to learn the corresponding etiquette.

In the palace, the news that Empress Xia was pregnant was still tightly covered. With the words Shou Ge revealed during a chat, Shen Rui calculated that he would give birth in March and April next year...

Ningfan has been giving away gold and silver for many years to win over the court officials, and has always spent money to fight a public opinion war. Rumors about the virtues of the young master of Ning's man in Beijing are flying everywhere. "It is related to the foundation of the country." This New Year, I don't know how much money you will see. The one who is open, some people who are pretending to be confused will jump up and down the court.

However, what if the news of Zhao Fan's "inflict" spread to Beijing?

The rebellion of King Anhua is not far away. Now another vassal is colluding with the bandits, intending to seize the county town, but it is still close to the northern Zhili...

Is the vassal still safe?

In this case, Shen Rui wanted to see who else would jump out and sway the flag for Ning Fan...

Therefore, Zhu Youxian must be done quickly, the evidence must be smashed to death, and the evidence must be quickly sent to Beijing.

"First, only the Prince of Linzhang County is the vassal states. As for the Zhao Fan," Shen Rui smiled coldly, "With the King of Zhao's temperament, he has the heart to protect his shortcomings, and he may not dare to act rashly."

He Taizhi, who hated the vassals who harmed the local areas, silently completed the second half of the sentence in his heart. It would be better to act rashly and catch them all in one go.

Zhangde Prefecture City Anyang, the back hall of the government office

"Whether the young master of Ningfu wants the Taimiao Sixiang depends on the emperor's intention, but we must protect the people first. If there is a mistake, the court asks us for people, what should we do? Let's go and see us? !”

The prefect of Zhangde, Yu Pan, put the teacup on the table and stared at the Tongzong He Hanzong who was still waiting to open his mouth.

"The Sixiang of Taimiao is a false statement, and there is still a real 50,000 taels of silver! That person brought the King of Ning Xiaojing Sheng to cultivate the Hongde Hall! Fifty thousand taels, that is 50,000 taels, there is a mistake. , do you come out or I come out?"

He Tong stopped talking. As Yu prefect said, whether the matter of Sixiang in Taimiao was successful was another matter, 50,000 taels of silver was real.

Can the Ganqing Palace not be repaired? The emperor blamed the money for delaying this money, which was much worse than offending a governor.

He Tong comforted himself, but he felt a little calm, but he still couldn't help asking: "Now the young master of Ning's family has left Henan. If Lord Shen is still in Wu'an and doesn't come to Anyang, can we be like this? Wait?"

The civil unrest occurred in Wu'an, and it is inevitable that officials from Zhangde Mansion will be held accountable. However, Henan has suffered from natural disasters over the years and people's livelihood is difficult. It is well known that the court will not punish them severely; and the fact that the rescue is ineffective can be completely pushed to Lin County Qian. The household office was pushed to the head of Henan Dusi.

But the governor rescued Wu'an County, but the magistrate did not go to welcome the governor to the city as soon as possible, and still made other officials in the Zhangde government office feel distressed, for fear that the governor would be unhappy and wave his pen and write a memorial. They would like to I can't eat and leave.

The governor stayed in Wu'an County for several days, and the prefect was stable. How could the magistrates be so politicians like these were already sitting and standing like ants on a hot pan, and they all kept the prefect Yu in their hearts. The eight generations of ancestors cursed them a thousand, eight hundred times.

"If he comes, I ask you, can there be a countermeasure to disaster relief? How much grain is there in the official warehouse? It will be confiscated this fall, where will the seeds come from next spring?...How do you answer?" Yu asked coldly.

Punishment He Tong was choked and raised his neck.

Previously, the Tongzhi of Zhangde Prefecture left his post and returned home due to his father's death. In many places in Henan, the food was no longer harvested in summer and autumn, the number of disasters increased dramatically, and bandits rose everywhere, becoming hot potatoes, so no one was willing to make up for the gap. However, as the situation in the court and China has become increasingly chaotic recently, the situation in the court has become increasingly chaotic No one paid attention to this.

Yu was an old official, and from the beginning he quickly gave all the work done by Tongzhi to the Tongzong.

He Tong has been in charge of two major affairs in the past few months and has been exhausted. After hearing this long list of problems in the palace, he couldn't help but feel a headache. He opened his mouth and just said halfway, "More than ten porridge sheds have been set up... ”

The prefect Yu interrupted him and said, "There is still a matter of clearing the land of Zhangzhang."

He Tong was completely speechless.

What is the purity of the Qing Dynasty? Not to mention the many great tribes of the Zhangde Mansion, just talking about the Zhao Prince’s Mansion, it is impossible to clear it at all.

Prefect Yu snorted from his nose and said, "Then you should think carefully before the governor arrives, what you should do and what you should write... Ah? You did it clearly and urgently. When you meet him, aren't you afraid of being killed by him to warn the monkey? Zhangde is the first to get into Henan."

He Tong had to respond with snooping. Seeing that the magistrate picked up the teacup and sipped it, he knew that it was the intention of seeing off the guests, so he stood up and said goodbye.

The new official takes office for three fires, so don’t be filled with firewood. He Tong sighed and went to the reserve warehouse to prepare for the grain and rice account.
To be continued...
