Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

Zhao Ning said, "Are you from the official Guo?"

"I am, your Excellency?"

"You asked him to charge the triple interest?"

"Who are you?"

"I'm the one asking you a question."

"Don't you know that this is the magistrate's office..."

Zhao Ning waved his hand, and Jing Chao walked up to Guo Rong in three steps, and slapped him.

with a snap.

Guo Rong was so beaten that he fell to the ground, bleeding from the corner of his mouth, and his face quickly swelled up.

Zhao Ning was still sitting there, and he said calmly: "At the beginning I was reasoning with you, but you just didn't reason with me, so let's put the reasoning aside for today and talk about fists, it's settled, Let's talk about it slowly."

Chapter 494 It's Your Emperor Lao Tzu Who Comes! (Second more)

Now Guo Rong is silent.

That family was dumbfounded now. They looked at the young man sitting there, and they never thought that he even beat Mr. Guo together.

Guo Daguan is a figure who calls the wind and rain in Xiangyang City!

Zhao Ning said, "Are you from the official Guo?"

Guo Rong shook his head and nodded.

Zhao Ning's eyes fell back on Guo Chang, and asked: "Before you said that you knew the prefect of Zhou, and the prefect of Zhou also knew you, is it true?"

Guo Chang nodded quickly.

"You said that among the money you borrowed, there was money from the prefect of Zhou. Is it true?"

Guo Chang continued to nod.

Zhou Jiande didn't dare to say anything, and neither did other civilian officials.

"You said that Mr. Guo asked you to borrow money, with three times the interest, and the prefect Zhou's money was also in it. Did the prefect Zhou also participate in this loan?"

Guo Chang continued to nod.

"You dare to slander me!" Zhou Jiande was furious, "You..."

Zhao Ning interrupted him: "Doesn't Governor Zhou want to reason with me?

"I don't believe that you even dare to beat the imperial court officials..."

Before he finished speaking, Jing Chao had already walked in front of him, slapped him, staggered and fell to the ground.

The clerks around did not dare to approach, but stayed aside shivering.

Zhou Jiande got up, covered his face, sat back down again, bowed his head and remained silent.

Zhao Ning continued to ask: "The prefect of Zhou knew the triple interest rate and participated in the loan, so where did the food sold to the common people come from?"

silence.

"Forgot again?"

Guo Chang faltered and said: "The villain doesn't know, it was all arranged by Guo Daguan."

Zhao Ning's eyes shifted to Guo Rong.

Guo Rong said: "It was arranged by Zhou Zhifu, I don't know."

"You don't know?" Zhao Ning sneered, "Is Guo Jun your man?"

"Yes."

"He told me personally that the food sold to the common people is the food of your official Guo."

Guo Rong said: "It's the food for the Changping Division."

"Is it the food you sold to Tiju Changping?"

Guo Rong hesitated for a moment, and said: "In the season when the harvest is not harvested, the people have no food to eat, and the government's granaries don't have much food. Although I am not an official, I have a sincere heart. When the government needs it, I can still sell some... ..."

Zhao Ning didn't have the patience to listen to his high-sounding lies, so he asked directly: "Does the envoy who promoted Chang Ping know about this?"

"Ok?"

"I'm asking, does the envoy who promoted Chang Ping know that you sold the food?"

"Know...know..."

"How much do you sell them for a stone?"

"It's always five cents per stone..."

"How many?"

"Food is in short supply, that's the price..."

Zhao Ning's gaze was fixed on Guo Rong's eyes, Guo Rong shuddered, and quickly changed his words: "Sell it for five yuan per stone."

"Sell it to Changping Secretary for five yuan per stone, and then sell it to farmers for two coins per stone when promoting Changping Secretary, and you will earn three times that! This business is really well done!" Zhao Ning said with emotion, "Prefect Zhou, you What do you say?"

"I...I don't know!"

"Do you have any money?"

"My lord...my lord..."

Zhao Ning said: "I'm asking you very politely, if there is any money, don't you want to reason with me again?"

"I split a little bit."

Zhao Ning asked Guo Rong again: "You are managing the prefect Zhou's money?"

"Yes Yes……"

"Who else is involved?"

Guo Rong hesitated and said, "This..."

Zhao Ning continued: "Has Li Zhaoyan divided the money?"

Zhou Jiande was shocked.

He looked at Zhao Ning in surprise.

Li Zhaoyan is the transshipment envoy of Jingxi South Road.

Jingxian Road's Economic and Strategy Division is in Dengzhou, but the Transshipment Division, Lift Changping Division, and Tidian Prison Division are all in Xiangyang Prefecture.

On Jingxi South Road in the Northern Song Dynasty, Dengzhou was the military center, and Xiangyang was the economic center.

It wasn't until the Southern Song Dynasty that the territory of the Great Song Dynasty shrank, and Xiangyang's strategic position became prominent and became a frontier fortress.

Zhao Ning called Li Zhaoyan's name directly, and the calm and condescending manner in his tone immediately made Zhou Jiande aware of Zhao Ning's unusual identity.

Moreover, most people don't even know the name of the transshipment envoy.

This is also a very normal thing, not to mention this era, even the 21st century, the era of advanced information, many people do not know the names of senior officials in the province without checking them online.

He originally thought it was just a simple rebel.

After all, for more than 100 years in the Song Dynasty, a wave of rebels would jump out of the people from time to time.

But now, Zhou Jiande suddenly realized.

These people are most likely sent by the imperial court.

Could it be from the Su Provincial Court?

I heard that the Su Provincial People's Court is busy with the Seven New Deals in the North, and it is working with the Audit Court to check the past accounts everywhere in the North.

I didn't hear that someone from the Su Provincial Court came down!

"Did Li Zhaoyan share the money?" Zhao Ning repeated.

Guo Rong said: "I don't know, I only have money from some officials in the magistrate's yamen."

It seems that many officials in the magistrate's yamen have participated in this usury.

That's right!

With the power in hand, such a good opportunity, it is natural to blatantly amass money!

Zhao Ning's eyes fell on Zhou Jiande: "Does Li Zhaoyan have any money?"

"My officer... I don't know."

"Are you sure you don't know?"

"I……"

"last chance."

"I really do not know."

Zhao Ning said: "Go, go and call the Changping envoy and the transfer envoy over here, let's explain this matter clearly and clearly today, and see who it is who invested money here, borrowed With three times the interest, relying on heaven and earth, extorting the common people!"

Hearing this, Zhou Jiande felt relieved.

If Li Zhaoyan had come, the situation might have eased a lot.

He thought about it carefully again. This triple loan from the people is everywhere. Strictly speaking, this incident violated the court rules, but it really needs to be strictly investigated. Not to mention Xiangyang Mansion, there are not many innocent people in the entire Southwest Beijing Road. .

He didn't believe that this group of people dared to overturn Jingxi South Road.

Zhou Jiande didn't plan to say any more, and waited for Li Zhaoyan, the transfer envoy, and Zhou Hong, the envoy to promote Changping, to come.

At this time, the transfer office also received news that a group of people had broken into Xiangyang City.

The news quickly reached Li Zhaoyan.

Li Zhaoyan didn't believe it at first, but Wang Lu, the transit judge, came and said, "Li Cao, there are rumors outside that a group of people broke into the city and went straight to the magistrate's yamen!"

"Who dares to be so bold! This is Xiangyang City!"

"I heard it was a group of people riding horses."

"horse riding?"

"That's right!"

"you sure?"

"It's been rumored outside!"

"Could it be that Dengzhou came here?"

Wang Lu said: "Dengzhou has no reason to send people over. Even if they send people over, they will go directly to the Yamen of the Transit Department, not to the Yamen of the Prefect."

"Could it be that they came from the north?"

Wang Lu said, "It's possible."

Li Zhaoyan's thoughts changed sharply, could it be that someone from Su Provincial Court came?

Even if you come to Xiangyang Mansion, you can't be so arrogant and domineering!

"It's unreasonable!" Li Zhaoyan said angrily, "Take everyone and go to the magistrate's yamen with me. I want to see who is holy. How dare you act wildly in my territory!"

Chapter 495 Blood-sucking moths of the Great Song Dynasty (third update)

At this time, the news naturally spread to the Yamen of Changping Division.

Zhou Hongzheng was surprised, and the people below came up and said: "Zhou Cang, there is a person outside who claims to be Hu Quan, the envoy of the Shaanxi Banking Supervisor."

"Hu Quan?" Zhou Hong was surprised.

Hu Quan is naturally a celebrity, and was entrusted with important tasks at a young age.

Banknote delivery was first implemented in Hebei, and last year it was implemented in Shaanxi.

This person's official career can be called a miracle. Others stay in office for several years and get promoted when they are lucky. Most people can't be promoted for more than ten or even decades.

He went everywhere, Hebei today, Shaanxi tomorrow, and the capital the day after tomorrow.

Every time he made a little political achievement in a place, he was immediately transferred away, as if he was afraid that he would continue to make his political achievements bigger.

And every time he is transferred, Hu Quan will be promoted.
