"Look quickly! And over there, it's from Guan Liu, the richest man in Jiangling, Daguan Liu!"

"Is that really Mr. Liu?"

"There is absolutely nothing wrong! What happened? Why are all these big shots being dragged away, still calling for help!"

"..."

While people were discussing, the yamen's yamen also split up.

The storytellers even came out in the rain.

The storyteller kept on saying, "Those people either bribed the officials to annex Xintian, or used their power to annex Xintian. Now all of them will be executed."

People's attention was quickly drawn to Mr. Storyteller.

Someone was shocked and said, "You mean, all these people were dragged out and executed?"

"That's right!" The storyteller couldn't help but frowned. He had never seen such a scene in his life for decades.

Within one day, more than half of the important figures in Jiangling City were arrested.

And many more are now on their way to the execution ground.

"What happened, why are so many important figures executed in one day?"

Mr. Storyteller went up and said, "It's the official Zhao's family."

"Official Zhao's family?"

The storyteller emphasized it again and said, "Your Majesty the Emperor!"

The crowd fell into a brief silence, and then discussed like a boiling boiler.

"Then those people are..."

The storyteller said: "That's right, they were all executed by His Majesty's order. They violated the imperial court's new policy of land reclamation."

"What did they do?" Someone couldn't help wondering.

"They annexed Xintian in the name of others, and they were found out. The court is now severely cracking down on Xintian being annexed!" The storyteller said in an excited tone, "Therefore, there will be a large number of new lands in Jiangling Mansion vacant in the future. If If you want territory, you can go to the Yamen to sign up."

"Really?"

"Exactly!"

Many people shouted excitedly.

Someone even shouted loudly: "Long live Zhao Guan's family!"

There were cheers from many places on the street.

Some people even ventured to the execution ground to watch.

Ordinary people like to watch, especially the killing of rich people, rich people, and officials, they are the most excited.

However, the gate of the city is now covered with imperial guards, and there is no way to get out without His Majesty's order.

Those who eat melons ran to the gate of the city, stood at the gate and looked out.

Outside, those officials, rich men, landlords and squires were kneeling neatly, and the executioner was beheading one by one.

One knife down is one.

Crying and howling sounded one after another.

As the sky gradually darkened, the newspaper offices in Jiangling Mansion were all working overtime overnight.

Today's "Jiangling Express" has already published a version to cooperate with the storyteller to spread it in the city.

But this is obviously not enough. At the same time as the action, the competition for the position of public opinion has also started.

Countless pens sat in the newspaper office, lit the oil lamps, and frantically copied the newspapers to be released tomorrow.

In the early morning of the [-]th, the "Jiangling Express" was sold out.

Someone even used a cart to push a pile of newspapers printed overnight to Shashi Town to sell them.

It was all sold out in an hour.

The news of the Emperor Shengjia's visit to Jiangling Mansion spread like a storm in Jiangling on the morning of the [-]th, causing a huge commotion.

What is even more shocking is that half of the officials in Jiangling Mansion were killed. The richest man in Jiangling Mansion was also executed yesterday, and all those wealthy people who were usually famous were also executed.

And the storm has only just begun.

People saw groups of cavalry roaring past, but no one knew what they were going for.

But some people predict that in the next few days, more people will die.

On the [-]th, multiple orders came from the Yamen of the Transshipment Department, the Yamen of the Prison Department, the Yamen of the Tiju Cangping Department, and the Yamen of the Prefect.

First, officials and officials at all levels keep their duties.

The second is that all officials and officials related to household registration and land registration at all levels will be re-stated for Xintian's affiliation.

Third, officials and officials at all levels must maintain the stability of local people's livelihood.

Orders were sent out overtime.

Last night, almost none of the surviving officials from Jiangling Mansion fell asleep.

Zhao Ning: I can't sleep, no one wants to sleep!

Tang Ke was only doing one thing overnight: temporarily appointing new officials.

Zhao Guan's family is very happy, but there are still a lot of things to be dealt with again. It is impossible for Zhao Guan's family to handle it in person, right?

Fortunately, Tang Ke promoted a group of his own people, and at this time his own people came to the top.

May [-]th, Tokyo City, Qin Mansion.

Early in the morning, when Qin Hui was still having breakfast, Mrs. Wang came.

"Why did my beloved get up so early today?"

"Officer, how is your talk with the envoy Jin going?"

"Golden envoy?" Qin Hui swallowed the steamed bun and took a sip of tea, "We haven't reached a conclusion yet, but now we have a great advantage."

"how do I say this?"

"Han Shizhong's victory in Liaodong came back last night, and it was the headline of the newspaper early this morning."

Wang was stunned for a moment, and said, "He Jiebao again?"

"Defeat the Jin army, capture Fuzhou, kill six thousand enemies, and the gold thieves fled north in embarrassment."

"So, the Liaodong front has stabilized?"

"I dare not say it is stable, but it is probably settled. It depends on the subsequent investment of the imperial court in Liaodong."

"How does the imperial court plan to invest?"

"I asked the household department last night, and the budget was adequate."

Wang thought about it.

"Why, my beloved, why do you ask these questions?"

"Officer, then Zhao Chen is in Liaodong."

Qin Hui put down his teacup, his face became a little dignified.

Wang continued: "The last assassination failed. Now that he has Han Shizhong's protection, it is not so easy to assassinate."

Qin Hui sighed, and said: "I think it's okay if we don't. Zhao Chen probably didn't know that we did it, and this matter must have been heard by the officials. Fortunately, no clues were left behind."

"What if Zhao Chen knows that we did it?" Wang said.

"This……"

"And now that Zhao Chen has made military achievements in Liaodong, will he win the appreciation of the officials again?"

Qin Hui smiled and said: "You worry too much, even if you win the appreciation again, you will never return to the crown prince."

"Even if you don't return to the crown prince, but you have prestige in the army, it is a threat to you and me."

"What do you two mean?"

Mrs. Wang didn't answer directly, but said: "Zhang Jun wrote you a letter."

She took out Zhang Jun's letter, Qin Hui took it over and looked at it, and said, "Zhang Jun made a lot of money on the northern line!"

"He said he was willing to give us a part of the business."

"What about the conditions?"

"Help him go up."

"How can I help, now the Military and Political Council and the Privy Council, the East Mansion has no right to intervene." Qin Hui said.

"I think Han Shizhong and the prince are very close. Why don't you use Zhao Chen to spread rumors about Han Shizhong and make Zhao's family dissatisfied with Han Shizhong. Doesn't Zhang Jun have a chance?"

Qin Hui was a little surprised: "You mean that Han Shizhong is suspected of treason by spreading rumors?"

"No, no one may believe in the rebellion. It is said that Han Shizhong is proud of his credit and wants to support his troops and stand on his own in Liaodong."

Qin Hui thought about it.

Wang continued: "The envoy of the Kingdom of Jin wants to negotiate peace and start business, so why don't the officials persuade the officials, so that Liaodong can also be used as a trading point for both sides, and our business can be bigger. I ordered that Lu Qingliu to go to Jing I went to buy fields on Hubei Road, and in the future, the goods can go down to the sea along the Yangtze River, and go to Liaodong, wouldn’t it be better?”

At this moment, the people below suddenly came over and said, "Officer, your letter came from Xiangyang on Southwest Beijing Road."

"Xiangyang? Why is Xiangyang writing to me at this time?" Qin Hui took the letter, opened it, and his expression froze.

"Official Zhao's family has gone south!"

Chapter 511 Fuzhou has been an inalienable part of China since ancient times (Part [-])

Wang was surprised and said: "The official family has gone south?"

Qin Hui didn't react for a while.

He didn't answer Wang's words, but continued to look at the letter in front of him, and read it quickly and carefully.

He dared not miss a single word.

After reading it, Qin Hui took a deep breath.

Looking at Qin Hui's face, Wang couldn't help asking: "What happened?"

"All dead."

"All dead?"

"The transfer envoys of the Xiangyang Mansion, the commissioner of punishments and prisons, and the commissioner of Changping are all dead."

"How did you die?" As soon as Wang asked, she knew it was unnecessary to ask.

"It was chopped down by the officials."

"why?"

"I heard that it was a loan that violated regulations, and that Chang Ping was promoted to make false accounts, and was met by the officials."

Wang couldn't help asking: "What impact will this have?"

Qin Hui stood up and walked back and forth.

His brain was spinning rapidly.

When did Zhao Guan's family go south?

"That's right! It was after that hunt! The palace kept saying that the official family was in poor health!" Qin Hui suddenly realized, "Actually, the official family is not in poor health, but has gone south!"

"I'm asking about the impact of the officials' behavior in Xiangyang Mansion, will it affect us?" Wang was a little anxious.

Qin Hui asked: "Do we have a loan business?"

"Have!"

"How much is the interest?"

"three times."

"Sell them all quickly!" Qin Hui said in an unprecedented tone.

"Sell them all?" Mrs. Wang was obviously reluctant, "That's a lot of money!"
