Domineering Daming

Before he finished speaking, Wang Beicheng snorted coldly, and said: "I have always kept myself clean, if Mr. Qian wants to communicate with me in public, I will add an extra crime to you! Come here, let me take it down!"

As soon as Wang Beicheng finished speaking, five or six guards rushed over, handcuffs and shackles greeted Qian Qianyi.

Qian Qianyi struggled violently, and shouted loudly: "Wang Beicheng, you must have framed me, and I must go to Beijing to sue the imperial court. This matter is not over!"

Wang Beicheng's expression was slightly cold. Qian Qianyi's words would put him on the fire, and the gentry class in Nanzhili would probably hate him to death!

Sure enough, many people looked at him with hatred and clenched their fists, as if they were going to rush over to beat him up.

"Master, master..." Madam Qian cried loudly, chasing after Qian Qianyi, but was stopped by the guards.

Now Wang Beicheng also hated Qian Qianyi to death, thinking about how to write a letter to the court to push Qian Qianyi to death again!

"Take it away!" Wang Beicheng yelled, full of anger, turned around and left on crutches.

Qian Qianyi struggled and shouted: "Wang Beicheng, you framed me! I didn't violate the court's laws and regulations, but you framed me. I want to sue the emperor and the cabinet for your governor's office..."

Qian Qianyi's words seemed to be a signal. Many people's eyes were wide open, their hearts were agitated, and their eyes were burning.

The corners of Gong Dingzi's mouth curled deeper, and he looked around the crowd with sinister eyes, observing the expressions of these people, as if he was remembering their faces.

He likes to do this more and more recently, and he can even distinguish a person by the sound of their footsteps, and sometimes he can faintly hear their inner thoughts, which is really amazing.

Qian Qianyi was stuffed into a carriage and surrounded by a group of guards.None of the people in the Qian Mansion are sure if there will be some idiots who will "rob the prison", if they are really robbed, it will be a great joy.

Qian Qianyi was still yelling in the carriage, giving advice to those outside.

Wang Beicheng got into the carriage, and led the people away quickly with a sinking face.He was really angry, and Qian Qianyi pointed the finger at him. Life in Nanzhili will be difficult in the future, and I don't know how many people will spit on him.

In front of the gate of Qian Mansion, a carriage still parked quietly, and there were two women sitting in it——Liu Rushi and Gu Hengbo.

Gu Hengbo failed to marry into the Gong family, firstly because the Gong family disliked him, secondly because of Gong Dingzi's official career considerations, and thirdly because Gong Dingzi's sexual orientation was more complicated: both men and women could take it all.

Gu Hengbo was also infatuated, he actually lived outside all the time, had occasional trysts every now and then, not even an outhouse, and kept running around with Gong Dingzi, exhausting himself.

"If so, you should have expected it a long time ago, right? That's why you refused to wear a wedding dress?" Gu Hengbo remained motionless, observing Liu Rushi's expression.

Liu Rushi looked calm. She admired Qian Qianyi very much, but it was not love.She fell on the Qinhuai River since she was a child, she is used to seeing the warmth and coldness of human beings, and she knows the truth of a woman's fate, so she has never paid much attention to this marriage, but she has always remembered that "Zhu Muyu" who only met a few times. .

She glanced at Gu Hengbo calmly, and said lightly: "You brought me here on purpose, you didn't want me to watch Mr. Qian be taken away with your own eyes, did you?"

Gu Hengbo's eyes flickered in panic, and he said with a smile: "Where, I just hope you can save me, after all, you have a wide network of contacts."

No matter how wide it is, it is impossible to surpass Qian Qianyi. Liu Rushi naturally didn't believe such nonsense, and stared at Gu Hengbo coldly.

Gu Hengbo's eyes were flustered, and he forced himself to say: "Sister, I just asked you to help, could it be possible to harm you?"

Liu Rushi looked at Gu Hengbo. Although she was sure that she had no good intentions, she really couldn't think of what Gu Hengbo's trick was.Although the two are in a "competitive relationship" on the Qinhuai River, each has its own market, and the well water does not interfere with the river water. I don't know why she stepped in today?

Gu Hengbo's heart skipped a beat, his face was a little stiff, but he hummed inwardly, "Your concubine has been arrested and taken to the capital, see if you don't hurry to the capital to save her!"

She was "jealous", because when Gong Dingzi was with her, he would often mention Liu Rushi, and his tone was very unusual, which made Gu Hengbo very unhappy and angry.

Naturally, she would not know that Zhu Muyu was Zhu Xu, the emperor. Gong Dingzi knew this and did not tell her.Gong Dingzi was thoughtful and had always suspected that Liu Rushi had an affair with Zhu Xu. Even if they didn't, he hoped that they would. In the future, he would get closer to Zhu Xu and become a close minister.

Gu Hengbo didn't know this. Looking at Liu Rushi's indifferent expression, he felt a little annoyed, and said, "Sister, Mr. Qian will be sent to the capital for trial. I'm afraid there will be no return for this trip. If there is no one to rescue him, If you suffer a little more in prison, I'm afraid...you may not be able to survive this year..."

Liu Rushi frowned slightly. Although she had no relationship with Qian Qianyi, she still admired Qian Qianyi's talent and learning, and thought that except for some flaws, he was still a man of state and should not die in prison in such a muddle.

At the same time, she has always had a hope in her heart, that is to go to Beijing to try her luck, maybe she can see that person again - although she has always hoped that that person will come to the Qinhuai River to find her.

Arriving here, Liu Rushi roughly understood Gu Hengbo's purpose, and said calmly, "You want to trick me into going to the capital? What is the purpose?"

Gu Hengbo smiled awkwardly on his face, and said: "My sister was joking, why would I lie to you to go to the capital? Even if I don't bring you here today, wouldn't it be possible for you not to go?" Gu Hengbo said, but his heart was big It was a joy, as if some kind of revenge had been avenged.

Liu Rushi frowned slightly, what Gu Hengbo said made sense, and according to her temperament, she would definitely go there.

She weighed it silently in her heart, and said, "I don't care what tricks you have, it's best just this time, the Gong family no longer wants you, if you are driven out of the Qinhuai River again, you will have to wait to die. Coachman, let's go, go back .”

Listening to Liu Rushi's words, Gu Hengbo's eyes were full of hatred, as much as he was happy just now, he hated him now!

Liu Rushi ignored her, and her mind had drifted to the capital.

She had inquired about that "Zhu Muyu" this year, but she couldn't find any clues, and the emperor was always mysterious, and ordinary people couldn't find anything, let alone she was far away in Nanzhili.And she was a little worried in her heart. It has been rumored that the current emperor doesn't like red makeup and men's clothes. If Zhu Muyu is the face of the emperor, what should I do?

But according to the elegance of "Brother Zhu", his personality doesn't seem to be that kind of person.

At this moment, Liu Rushi felt more anxious and tormented than ever before, wishing she could fly to the capital right away.

When Liu Rushi was in a state of disarray, seven or eight people, including Governor Fang Kongzhang of Jiangsu, Xu Jie who participated in politics on the left, Feng Jiangfeng who participated in politics on the right, and Shi Bangyao, the prefect of Yingtianfu, gathered together to discuss these orders from the cabinet.

Feng Jiangfeng is upright and has a strong temper. Looking at Fang Kongxuan and the others, he said in a deep voice, "My lord, according to what I said, it is time to rectify. Even if Qian Qianyi didn't come out to provoke the court, the banks of the Qinhuai River would still be full of smog. I have been drunk all day long, slamming the court, insulting the emperor, and I and others have not been spared... The lower official suggested that, taking this opportunity, why don't we act vigorously once, and thoroughly clean up the atmosphere in Nanzhili, no, Jiangsu , make a strong show of power, and kill their depraved qi!"

Chapter 868 Murderous prelude

Feng Jiangfeng's words were quite murderous. Although he had been in Nanzhili for less than half a year, he followed the rules honestly and walked a lot of places below, and he became disgusted after seeing too much.

Behind the prosperity, there are countless squalors.In addition, dignitaries, dignitaries, nobles, wealthy families, and aristocratic families gather together, and everything can happen normally here, and it is taken for granted, and we are used to it!

Shi Bangyao was taken aback when he heard that, and quickly said: "The lower officials do not agree. I have experienced ups and downs in Nanzhili, and the people's hearts are not stable. There are many complaints from Shilin, so I can't come again."

Xu Jie also said: "The court's order is to keep a low profile as much as possible. We can't make a big fanfare to avoid unnecessary twists and turns. We still need to be cautious."

"That's right, my lord, it's not appropriate to make any big moves. Now that the 'New Deal' is at a critical moment, we must not cause chaos..."

"My lord, take it easy, it won't be too late to clean up after the 'New Deal' is a little bit more stable..."

There was a burst of objection in the lobby, which made Feng Jiangfeng's face as dark as the bottom of a pot, but he couldn't attack.

Fang Kongxuan waved his hand immediately, and said with a smile, "You don't need to argue. Since it is an order from the imperial court, there must be a plan. I will just follow the order. The problem now is that there are still nearly 2000 people who want to be appointed." Tune 'to Old Port, Luzon provinces, even if you act low-key, it will cause big troubles, tell me, how should we act?"

Feng Jiangfeng said directly: "The lower officials think that some people will be arrested with great fanfare, while others will be arrested quietly to cover up."

Xu Jie's eyes lit up, and he said: "This is a way. Let's start with Qian Qianyi. Those ministers and servants who yelled all day long, satirized the emperor, and cursed the imperial court, please come directly to the Governor's Council!"

Shi Bangyao frowned, and said: "It's easy to catch, but they are all people in their 70s and [-]s. If there is a good or bad thing, we may be criticized by thousands of people..."

Everyone's expressions were gloomy when they heard the words, Nanzhili's network of relationships is intricate, no one knows how many old students and officials will be involved, and friends will be made by an old minister and old servant!

Fang Kongzheng has become more and more tolerant of a feudal official, and said calmly: "If you are too old, don't arrest him. If you die halfway, it will be troublesome. Pick a few famous ones, arrest them with great fanfare, and let the newspapers play them up." For a while, it will be covered for ten days and half a month. As soon as the appointment document of the cabinet arrives, it will be shipped off immediately! Our main responsibility is still the "New Deal". Otherwise, the emperor and the court will blame us, and we will all suffer..."

Everyone nodded this time. Now that the court's influence on the local area has increased greatly, they can't help fooling around. Moreover, the current emperor has killed several governors, and they don't want to follow in their footsteps.

"The Department of Prisons, the Governor's Council, and Dali Temple must hurry up. This is extremely important for the 'New Deal'. In addition, the 'Tax Bureau' must also be established. The specific tax regulations must continue to be refined and promulgated next year. On the one hand, it needs to be further sorted out. What the imperial court requires is to streamline the organization. For those who are unnecessary, those with low power and positions, and those with too many people, those who should be dismissed, those who should be merged..."

The matter of Qian Qianyi was just a trivial matter in Fang Kongxuan's view. His focus was still on government affairs, and the topic came to this in an instant.

A group of people listened to the matter. The affairs in Nanzhili were complicated. It could not be changed simply by a few words, a few orders, and a few new yamen. This took time to digest slowly.
