Crossing Wu Dalang starts from selling cakes

Chapter 554 Assassinations keep coming!

Wu Zhi understood that Cai Jing was scared.

Cai Jing is also quite wealthy, especially in the banknote incident last time, not only did he not lose money, but he also made money.

Cai Jing, who originally had a rich family, is even richer.

Where does the money come from?Many of them come from fertile land and their own properties, and officials' family wealth is naturally unavoidable with some shady activities.

Cai Jing himself was caught by Wu Zhi. Now that the new law is reformed, his family business will be found out. How to explain that he has so many fertile land as a prime minister is a problem.

Cai Jing had no choice but to ask Wu Zhi for help, hoping to let him help at that time, so as not to be pulled down as much as possible.

For Wu Zhi, Cai Jing was an enemy before, but now because he has been caught, Cai Jing can't make any waves.

Without Cai Jing, there will be other enemies in the court, which is why he didn't get Cai Jing down.

But now, Cai Jing doesn't seem to be of much use.

Get him down, and the situation in the court seems to be destroyed. For Wu Zhi now, it is not a big problem.

Song Huizong now trusts him very much.Even if Cai Jing is gone and the situation in the court is out of balance, what does it matter.

Wu Zhi didn't worry about this problem anymore.

He felt that if he became the left minister, the reform of Song Dynasty would be more powerful.

As for the imbalance of the court, Song Huizong may not necessarily worry about it, so he doesn't have to worry about it.

If Song Huizong was worried about Wu Zhi, he would not have entrusted such an important matter to him.

He is going to investigate the problem of southern officials. How many people will be replaced?
However, Wu Zhi didn't intend to tell him what he really thought.

Cai Jing: "At this time, only Prime Minister Wu can help me."

Cai Jing thought, Gaiming would give some gifts to Wu Zhi, and he had already hinted at it.

Wu Zhi said with a smile: "Lord Cai, this reform of the new law is no small matter. As the leader of this new law, it is natural that everything should be done in an official manner. This is a bit difficult!"

Cai Jing's face was pale.

Wu Zhi said with a smile: "Of course, because you and I are officials in the same dynasty, I can take care of you. You don't need to worry about Mr. Cai."

Wu Zhi had to keep his mind steady, because he was going to the south, and the desperate Cai Jing might not know what he would do.

Promise him, and get rid of him later.

Hearing this, Cai Jing breathed a sigh of relief, cupped his hands, and left gratefully.

Wu Zhi actually has two paths. The first is to completely control Cai Jing through this incident, so that he, the left minister, will completely obey him, and even become his follower in the future.

The corruption incident at Wansui Mountain and the various corruption incidents uncovered by Cai Jing in this new law reform are enough to get him down.

The new law is the sharp edge.

The second way is to get Cai Jing away directly.

Obviously, for Wu Zhi to reform the new law more thoroughly, Cai Jing absolutely wants to get rid of it.

Wu Zhi just wants to show the world that the reform of the new law is imperative, and he will do it the same when he is the prime minister of the left.

Not to mention those southern officials.

Wu Fu.

Since he will go to the south for investigation in two days, Wu Zhi had a good time to relax with his wife and concubines tonight.

This is what they think.

According to Pan Jinlian's thinking, the master is busy with government affairs all day long, and will go out again in a few days, so they prepared to serve him as soon as they discussed it.

Ever since, Li Qingzhao also participated in the actions of Pan Jinlian, Li Shishi, Hu Sanniang, Zhao Fujin, Pang Chunmei and others.

Since they are all together, they often talk about the master.

We all chatted, and everyone was not so restrained.

Wu Zhi took them to play cards, dance, make some music and so on.

Sometimes Li Shishi, Pan Jinlian and the others would line up, each holding a musical instrument in their hands and playing beautiful music.

Wu Zhi is their master now, and it is naturally very happy to be able to perform for the master.What's more, Wu Zhi is not an ordinary person, these women look up to him in their hearts.

Wu Zhi is not polite to his family either, the rewards that should be rewarded, the praises that should be praised, all have a happy and harmonious atmosphere.

But none of them played cards against Wu Zhi, and Wu Zhi made them lose all by himself.

Pan Jinlian: "Master, you have to be careful when you go to the south this time. You go to punish those officials. I'm worried that the people over there will be bad for you. You should send more guards."

Master Li: "That's right, master. The whole world knows that the new law is causing trouble. Master must be more careful when going there."

Wu Zhi smiled and said: "You don't have to worry, I have traveled all over the years, and I have never seen anything, and I have never been afraid of thousands of troops."

"Well, I know the master is amazing." Pan Jinlian chuckled, for her master, Pan Jinlian's eyes have worshiped to the bone.

As time passed slowly.

this day.

Wu Zhi set off with a team of people.

The southern officials who had gone to court before also went back separately, and they were trembling.

In the past two days, Cai Jing sent people to send land deeds and property to please Wu Zhi, and Wu Zhi accepted it. After all, this is evidence.

So he went south.

The officials in the south are like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, waiting for Wu Zhi to deal with them.

Southern officials gathered to discuss a solution.

In Wang Zhizhou's mansion, they sat together in a secret room with silent faces.

They didn't dare to go to the restaurant for a party, because Zhou Ji was caught by someone before.

Lord Wang's face was serious, and there were still two iron balls sliding in his right hand. His hair had turned gray these days, and he was under a lot of pressure. He glanced at the people present and sighed: "Everyone, Prime Minister Wu is coming soon." , the new law must be implemented here.”

"The Secretary of Government Affairs has not been established. When he implements the new law, we must be local officials to implement it. We can account for who has how much fertile land and avoid being found out!"

"It's just that Prime Minister Wu is not a vegetarian, so it's not so easy to be fooled. I'm more worried about the last tax issue. If Wu Zhi is serious, we have to finish the game."

"There are two ways now, the first is to kill him, and the second is to give enough benefits to make him turn a blind eye!"

Lord Wang: "Which one do you think is easier?"

One person said: "Master Zhizhou, with all due respect, I am afraid that neither of these two things will work!"

"How to say?"

"First of all, although Wu Zhi is a good prime minister, he is also a military officer. He has great strength, and the guards around him must also be experts. It is almost impossible to kill him. According to my understanding, the number of assassinations of Wu Zhi is not low, but none Success! Let alone us!"

"Secondly, this time Wu Zhi is completely planning to rectify the official system of the Song Dynasty, as well as taxation. We are his enemies, and there is probably no room for relaxation."

"..." Lord Wang: "So, we have no chance at all?"

The group of officials trembled.

"Instead of asking him to punish us, we have to go all out. Even if we don't succeed, we can't make him feel better. We should send someone to kill him!"

When Mr. Wang made this decision, everyone looked at each other, but there was nothing they could do.

This seems to be the only way right now.

Otherwise, you can only sit and wait.

Lord Wang also became ruthless, his eyes were full of murderous intent, he really wasn't just talking, he didn't send an assassin, but united all the officials to form an army to exterminate bandits.

Ambush along the way.

And there are several batches.

Each batch consists of hundreds of people, and the number reaches thousands!
Can't do anything big.

On the way, as long as the leaders saw Wu Zhi, they said they were bandits and came to kill them.

There is an elite team of hundreds of people around Wu Zhi.

Among them, Song Jiang, Lu Junyi, Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen and others were all present.

These people are no opponents, let alone these people are holding firecrackers.

Directly rushing up and aiming at them is a slap in the face.

Of course, chug chug is impossible, but chug, chug, chug is certain.

"Last time in the battle of Xixia, I didn't bring firecrackers. That's because all I needed was the mighty cannon. This time, I went on the road alone. I didn't prepare some powerful means. If these people want to assassinate me, they have to ask me. Do you agree to the five boxes of gunpowder?"

Wu Zhi laughed.

His carriage this time was full of ammunition.

The soldiers were all carrying muskets.

These people were stunned as soon as they came up.

Even if there were a few fish that slipped through the net, they were directly stabbed to death by Lin Chong, who was very skilled.

Song Jiang: "Mr. Wu, these people are really attacking. Be careful, my lord. I'm afraid the road will not be smooth!"

Wu Zhi waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, as long as the truth reaches the south, it will be their death!"

Song Jiang said with a smile: "What Wu Xiang said is, who are you? These young people are really blind, and they actually use this kind of trick to deal with Wu Xiang."

Song Jiang is now Wu Zhi's follower.Be courteous in everything.

Originally, Song Jiang didn't have much skill, and Wu Zhi didn't plan to take him, but Song Jiang took the initiative to make friends with Wu Zhi.

Wu Xiang thought about it, Song Jiang of the Water Margin followed him as his dog's leg, and it seemed good.

Song Jiang served him tea and water all the way, thoughtful in everything, and could chat with him, Wu Zhi was quite satisfied.

Now Song Jiang knows that he has to hug Wu Zhi's thigh tightly. Only by hugging Wu Zhi's thigh tightly can the talents of Liangshan stay in the court and serve the Song Dynasty, otherwise the brand of bandits will always be troublesome.

With Wu Zhi around, they would be fine. Song Jiang obeyed Wu Zhi's words.

"Wu Xiang, you drink tea..."

"There is a gazebo in front, let's go and rest for a while."

"Master Wu, no, there are assassins."

Along the way, Wu Zhi encountered many assassins.

But without exception, they were all wiped out by the fire gun team.

Wu Zhi couldn't remember how many such sneak attacks he had encountered, some even hordes of troops, the nature of which was already very bad.

This is a blatant abuse of power to kill the imperial court official.

What's more, this is the prime minister.

If it were another person, I'm afraid he would have been killed long ago.

That is to say, Wu Zhi can stand up to now.

"There are many obstacles to the reform of the new law. These people are also very courageous, even the prime minister dared to assassinate. Now I finally know why the new law always fails. The obstacles are much bigger than I imagined."

Wu Zhi drank a cup of tea and continued on the road. Thinking of Wang Anshi's reform in the past, he is also reforming now.

The corner of Wu Zhi's mouth rose: "It's good to feel hung up!"

After a few days.

Wu Zhi directly found the mansion where Lord Wang was.

This is still a magistrate, and the officials are not small.

When he learned that Wu Zhi was coming, Mr. Wang staggered on the road of the mansion, sweating profusely, holding the official hat in one hand and the skirt of the official mansion in the other, almost running out to greet the Prime Minister of Song Dynasty.

"Your official, Wang He, see the Prime Minister!"

Plop!When Wang He came over, he knelt on the ground respectfully, his limbs and head were shaking.Knowing that the assassination failed along the way, at this moment, he was extremely scared.

Lord Wang: "Mr. Wu, I heard that you encountered many assassins along the way, and I was also frightened. I was worried that those assassins would hurt Mr. Wu, so I sent many officers and soldiers to help. Fortunately, Mr. Wu arrived safely. The officer also breathed a sigh of relief!"

Hearing this, Wu Zhi felt that Wang He was really thick-skinned, and that he was indeed an official.
