Reborn you are not worthy

Shu Chengxi slightly avoided his gaze, and asked earnestly, "Then how does His Majesty plan to deal with this time?"

"Murdering a king, ten thousand deaths is not enough to escape the crime!" Lu Bingxing said to the outside of the hall with a cold expression, "Shao Jun, the commander of the Prohibition Army, and Luo Ji, the commander of the Jinyiwei, enter the palace immediately."

Shu Chengxi raised his eyebrows, pursed his lips and said with a smile, "Your Majesty is going to do it directly."

Lu Bingxing nodded, "The Marquis of Zhenyuan will go to Beijing tomorrow, and this time he will catch all of them. You will go with Luo Ji later to protect your mother and elder brother. In addition, you must catch King Wu."

Shu Chengxi excitedly said, "The feudal lord enters the capital without an imperial edict, the first crime is the crime; the second is the crime of joining the family to poison the king; when the time comes, the stolen goods will be obtained together, and the crime of treason cannot be denied by him."

Lu Bingxing pinched his face, "Wu Wang is such an idiot, he dared to come to Beijing on his own initiative at this time. It's amazing. After he is caught, he will be tortured immediately. Make sure he pulls out all the noble families."

As he spoke, Lu Bingxing shook his head again, "Perhaps there is no need for torture at all, this idiot will vomit everything up."

Shu Chengxi cupped his hands and said, "I will live up to Your Majesty's expectations."

In the dark night, a killing unfolded silently.

……

Standing in front of the window, Wei Yunxuan looked at the half-curved moon in the blue-black night sky, feeling a little uneasy.

The manpower in the capital city hadn't heard from her for more than ten days, and I don't know if they found the person they were looking for.

Should be fine, right?

No, no, no, these people, even her mother and uncle don't know.

Wei Yunxuan bit her lip.

Although according to the memories of her previous life, the decline of the family would only break out after three years, but since she was forced to leave the capital, she always felt that everything seemed to be heading in an uncertain direction.

It seems that she is going to visit Xiao Yelin tomorrow and ask him to find out the news about the Chen family and whether there have been any recent changes in the capital.

"Miss, why don't you take a break? If you catch cold, the prince should worry again." The servant girl came over with a cloak and put it on her shoulders.

Wei Yunxuan turned around and smiled softly, "You girl, why are you always making fun of me?"

"The son of the world has always liked you very much. In a few years, maybe he will come to ask you to marry him."

Wei Yunxuan smiled wryly, "But now I'm just an orphan girl in trouble, and I have to rely on him to survive. How can I be worthy of being the dignified Prince Dingyuan?"

"Miss is also very good, she has earned a lot of money."

When she fled, she brought a box with her. There were many prescriptions in it, which were heirlooms of the Chen family. Back then, her grandfather married her mother as a dowry, and her mother gave it to her.

Relying on this, she opened several shops here.

In the Youyan frontier fortress, the folk customs are rough, and many local people have never seen good things. The good things passed down by her century-old family have been greatly welcomed.

However, in two months, he made a lot of money, and was destroyed by many jealous people in the middle, all of which were solved by Xiao Yelin.

Xiao Yelin was really good to her, but she was scared by Han Jiaqi in her previous life, so now she dare not confirm the relationship with Xiao Yelin as soon as possible.

Let's wait, wait until she can return to Beijing in a fair and honest manner.

After arriving in Yandi, she asked the people who stayed in the capital to send a letter to her uncle, explaining that she was still alive and telling them not to worry.

The uncle also replied quickly, but told her that he himself was dismissed from office, saying that his grandfather was very dissatisfied with the royal family now, and he had already started to unite with other families and King Wu, and began to think of strategies to deal with the royal family.

In the previous life, King Wu’s rebellion failed, but now the royal family has forced King Wu to unite with the aristocratic family, and the power has greatly increased. The aristocratic family is famous, and King Wu’s blood is pure.

Wei Yunxuan propped her chin with a sweet smile on her face.

The girl who closed the window turned her head and saw the smile on the young lady's face, which was a little more beautiful than before. For some reason, she suddenly felt a little panicked in her heart.

……

"Xie'er, our family is finally free."

The three members of the Shu family, mother and son, stood in the night, watching the group of people in the main line of the Shu family, who were escorted out of the mansion one by one by the imperial army.

They have been oppressed by these kind-hearted and hungry members of the Shu clan all these years!

Shu Chengxi patted his mother on the back, "Mother, everything will be fine in the future."

Mother Shu nodded, with tears in her eyes, "I have wronged Xi'er all these years."

Shu Chengxi shook his head lightly, then turned to look at his elder brother who was sitting in the wheelchair, "Brother, I will ask the imperial doctor to take a look at your body tomorrow."

Shu Lixuan raised his eyes, there was no joy on his face, but he asked slightly puzzled, "Prince doctor? You, a little Jinyiwei General Banner, can invite the doctor. Your Majesty values ​​you so much?"

"Ah."

Shu Chengxi nodded with a cold face, feeling guilty for some reason.

Shu Lixuan lightly tapped the armrest of the wheelchair, and persuaded in a low voice, "Little brother, the Shu family's meddling in the rebellion this time is a heinous crime. We are also considered members of the Shu clan. Even if His Majesty is kind and trusts you, the courtiers and colleagues Guys, some people may be dissatisfied, you need to keep a low profile in your actions, my body is not something that happens overnight, so don't worry too much."

Shu Chengxi felt even more guilty.

"Brother, I still need to go back to the palace to report to His Majesty, you guys go back and rest!"

After speaking, the man hurried out.

The mother and son of the Shu family looked at each other, wondering what happened to their youngest son and younger brother?

……

The morning of the second day began.

Lu Bing walked close to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, watching everyone whispering to each other with different expressions.

"The Emperor is here!"

The hall fell silent instantly, and all civil and military officials knelt down on the ground: "See Your Majesty, long live your majesty, long live, long live, long live!"

"All the gentlemen are flat."

This time, there is no need to wait for Sun Youquan to say, "If there is something to do, we will go back to the court if there is nothing to do". Judging by everyone's expressions, no one has a lot to say in their hearts.

The first one to stand out was the prime minister standing at the front—Li Bojian.

"Your Majesty, when I got up this morning, I heard that the Forbidden Army and the Jin Yiwei were dispatched at the same time last night. It was said that it was because of His Majesty's assassination. The old minister was very worried when he heard about it. Now I can finally ask, is Your Majesty's dragon body healthy?"

Lu Bingxing shook his head, and said softly, "Ai Qing, don't worry too much. Since I can go to court today, I know I haven't suffered any harm."

The Prime Minister immediately smiled, "Your Majesty, Wan'an, this is a blessing for the country."

All the ministers also shouted, "Your Majesty, Wan An."

After the roar of the mountains and the tsunami, the prime minister said again, "Assassinating your lord is tantamount to conspiracy. I don't know who is so presumptuous, who needs to be severely punished?"

With a cold face, Lu Bingxing said bluntly, "It's King Wu and the Shu family."

The ministers were amazed again.

Lu Bingxing's expression remained indifferent.

It is very important to learn acting before becoming an official. In fact, these people should have known about it last night, but now, they still have to pretend to be ignorant.

Some officials pretended to question, "Isn't the king of Wu far away in Wu, and the Shu family, who has always been famous all over the world, how could he do such a thing?"

Lu Bingxing didn't intend to continue acting with these old foxes, so he took a look at Shao Jun.

Shao Jun immediately came out and said loudly, "The Patriarch of the Shu family used to be the companion of the King of Wu, and the two had a very close relationship. , she was the daughter of the Shu family, so the King of Wu asked him to arrange a nail in the palace to secretly deliver the poison to Shu Jieyu, so that he could take the opportunity to assassinate His Majesty."

"It's just that Shu Jieyu was sincere to His Majesty, and she didn't want to do anything. Instead, she directly confessed the matter to His Majesty. Therefore, I rushed to Shu's residence overnight and caught a group of traitors."

Hearing this, the family members were stunned.

King Wu and Patriarch Shu are really powerful. They just made a swearing promise yesterday that they will definitely have Shu Jieyu in their hands, and the matter will definitely succeed. This is great, and they were sold backhanded.

So much preparation in the early stage seems to be a farce.

What an idiot, what an idiot...

Why did they find such a helper?

The king of Wu and the Shu family were arrested and passed by Jinyiwei overnight, and they might have confessed to them.

However, their aristocratic family did not directly participate in it. As long as they were killed and refused to admit it, and the law does not punish the public, can His Majesty still kill so many of them?

It was Li Xiang who spoke first, "King Wu has actually entered the capital. Not to mention that he poisoned His Majesty, just the vassal's entry into the capital without an order is enough to prove that he has evil intentions. I don't know where the King of Wu is?"

Shao Jun immediately replied, "Last night at Shu's house, he was arrested on the spot by the Imperial Army and Jin Yiwei, and he is currently being held in Zhao Prison of Jin Yiwei."

Li Xiang stroked his beard, "Okay, I will get both stolen goods, so there is absolutely no other possibility for this matter."

Doctor Yu Shi also raised his eyebrows and said coldly, "The Shu family is so courageous, they dared to join forces with the feudal lord in rebellion. The poor ancestor's reputation has been ruined. Today, everyone will be arrested and imprisoned?"

Shao Jun said, "It's all in Zhao Prison. However, after being arrested and imprisoned, King Wu confessed to one thing. This matter is very important and involves a wide range. I need to report it to His Majesty."

As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket. Besides the black and white characters, there was also cinnabar handprint on it. All the ministers knew that this should be a confession.

Sure enough, Shao Jun continued, "This is King Wu's confession. He confessed it last night. Not only the Shu family, but also Zhu Shangshu, Li Shilang, etc., are involved in this matter, a total of seven great families from the north and the south."

As soon as this statement came out, the whole hall was in an uproar.

Go crazy, this is...

Li Que turned around first, and shouted to the officials behind him, "How courageous are you waiting?"

The rest of the officials turned sideways slightly, and began to look sideways at certain people, talking a lot, "Are all of your family crazy?"

"All the seven aristocratic families actually participated. Is this a grudge against His Majesty?"

"Indeed, with King Wu's strength, if there is no support behind him, how can he guarantee that he can ascend to the throne safely?"

Those people from the aristocratic families had already been mentally prepared. When they heard this, they immediately knelt down in order to plead guilty.

"I have been wronged, how can I participate in such rebellion and rebellion? I am afraid that the king of Wu intends to retaliate. He cannot get the throne himself, so he deliberately teases us. Your Majesty Cholera will court."

"Your Majesty, please check clearly, the ministers have never had any contact with the King of Wu!"

"Your Majesty is aware!"

At this time, the announcement of the forbidden army suddenly came from outside the hall.

"Zhenyuan Hou Wenlin asks to see His Majesty!"

All the officials hesitated, did the Marquis of Zhenyuan enter the palace at this time because he heard about His Majesty's assassination?

The corner of Lu Bingxing's mouth curled slightly, it was too timely, "Xuan!"

Marquis Zhenyuan was tall and dressed formally, not in court clothes, but in armor, holding a box in his hand, and a young man was beside him.

If it weren't for everyone knowing that he was loyal, this scene would have some similarities with Jing Ke leading Qin Wuyang back then.

"Chen Wenlin sees His Majesty, long live long live long live!"

The young man also knelt down and shouted, "Caomin Wenjie sees His Majesty, long live long live long live!"

Lu Bingxing nodded, "Pingshen, Aiqing hasn't been to the court for a long time, why did she suddenly dress up like this today? This strange young man is called Wen Jie. Could it be Aiqing's relatives?"

Wen Lin replied respectfully, "I heard that His Majesty was assassinated yesterday, and I feel really uneasy. Coincidentally, I do have something important to report to Your Majesty."

Lu Bingxing's face remained the same, and he said in a low voice, "I'm all right, the thief was caught before he made a move, so don't worry about Aiqing, but I don't know Aiqing, what are you reporting today?"

Hearing this, Wen Lin nodded in peace of mind, then patted the shoulder of the young man beside him sideways, "I haven't returned to Your Majesty yet, this is my son who has been away for many years and has just been found back, and the matter I want to report is also thanks to him." help."

"Oh..." Lu Bingxing raised his eyebrows, as if interested.

Wen Lin turned his head again, and looked at the members of aristocratic families who were kneeling on the ground, "Dare to ask Your Majesty, how did these few offend Longyan?"

Shao Jun hurriedly stepped forward and replied, "Your Majesty was assassinated last night. It was King Wu's envoy. Last night, the imperial army captured Queen Wu. King Wu confessed his allies and families in prison, so His Majesty is asking."

A flash of surprise flashed across Wen Lin's face, and he said coldly, "You are so courageous, and you are a family. These families are really lawless."

He turned around immediately and looked at the king above, "What I have reported today is also related to the major families."

As soon as these words came out, the people kneeling on the ground couldn't help shivering, and hearing the tone of Marquis Zhenyuan, they knew that the person who came was not kind.

But this Marquis of Zhenyuan, how could he get on well with their family, they have never offended him.

All the ministers were also puzzled, Zhenyuan Hou always ignored these government affairs?

Lu Bingxing narrowed his eyes slightly, "Aiqing, please tell me."

"No." Wen Lin opened the box, and inside were several account books and a blood-stained confession.

Lu Bingxing frowned, the hardships of the common people, sitting in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, was unimaginable to a ten thousandth.

After Wen Lin gave the things to Sun Youquan, he began to talk, "Recently, due to personal matters, Weifu went to Shandong..."

According to Zhenyuan Hou, after his own son Wen Jie was exchanged by thieves, he was sold to a trafficker, Aunt Cui, who took him back to her hometown in Shandong and adopted him directly.

Wen Jie was born with great strength and a clever mind. When he was 14 years old, Aunt Cui used money to buy him a yamen servant in the magistrate's yamen.

At the beginning of this year, the housekeeper of the Lin family, a rich family in Shandong, came to the magistrate of Shandong to pay him the benefit fee for the whole year last year.

Wen Jie took him to the main hall, but on the way back, he picked up a money bag, which seemed to belong to the housekeeper just now.

He went back to look for it, but heard that the Lin family was delivering banknotes to Wen Peng, the magistrate, and heard about the arbitrary collection of taxes.

In Dongling Country, a rich place like Shandong, farmers pay ten and three taxes each year, which means they have to pay 30.00% grain tax every year.

And the aristocratic family can enjoy the benefit of exemption from land tax because there are Juren and Jinshi in the family.

But they are not satisfied, they want to use this to make a profit, they collect [-]% of the benefits by helping others rely on the land, in this way, compared with paying [-]% of the tax to the imperial court, farmers can keep [-]% more, and they are naturally unwilling .

The family used these methods to steal how much tax from the court.

However, except for famine years, the imperial court has fixed taxation quotas for all regions, which can only be more or less.

If there are so many tax evaders, then their share will be allocated to those honest people, pushing them into hell.

The pressure on the head of the distribution is getting heavier and heavier, and finally they can't even pay the land tax. Those farmers have no choice but to sell their land to survive and live as tenant farmers.

At this time, no matter how low the price and the large amount of land are collected by those aristocratic families, they still do not have to pay taxes.

In this way, the remaining low-level farmers who still have enough energy and have not sold their land will receive more apportionment per person.

In this way, it is necessary to sell the land again to survive, and go round and round until there is no more squeezed out of the people.

Until everyone becomes sharecroppers, all working for those aristocratic families.

Pushing the human body to the limit, working every day until it can't get up, but just enough not to die of starvation and exhaustion, it becomes an old scalper who milks and preferably doesn't even eat grass.

Wen Jie's expression changed drastically when he heard this. Although he grew up in Fucheng, he spent his childhood on the streets and knew the hardships of the people's lives.

After going back, he lay on the bed all night, his conscience still couldn't get over it, he took advantage of the night to go to the magistrate's yamen, and stole the account book hidden by the magistrate.

Then he was jointly hunted down by the prefect Wen Peng and the Lin family, and on the way to hunt him down, he happened to be rescued by Zhenyuanhou who came to Shandong to find his son.

After Zhenyuan Hou narrated, the whole room was silent.

Lu Bingxing's face remained unchanged, he naturally knew that what Zhenyuanhou said was true, after all, Zhenyuanhou was led by him.

Because in the previous life, three years later, it was also because Marquis Zhenyuan went to Shandong to find his son, which triggered a series of subsequent downfalls of the family.

After Wei Yunxuan was reborn in this life, as soon as she gathered her own manpower, she immediately arranged for people to go to Shandong.

After Jin Yiwei caught her hiding in the capital, those people also confessed to this, saying that Ms. Wei San once asked them to go to Shandong to find a young man named Wen Jie, and they have not given up until now.

Lu Bingxing frowned, but it's a pity that in her previous life, Wei Yunxuan was a lover, thinking about how to pester Han Jiaqi all day long, knowing that the aristocratic family was defeated, all she knew was that Marquis Zhenyuan found out that his own son had been killed, and Marquis Zhenyuan's son, It seems to have been found in Shandong.

But I don't know anything about the specific details.

For example, the son of Marquis Zhenyuan was found and killed in March this year. He was killed by the Lin family for stealing the account book. , Wei Yunxuan didn't know at all.

Therefore, Lu Bingxing was one step ahead of her, and arranged for Marquis Zhenyuan to find out the truth three years in advance, rush to Shandong, saved his righteous son, and exposed this corrupt family and officialdom in advance.

……

After the silence in the court hall, it was Lu Bingxing who made the first move. He handed the ledger and the indictment to Sun Youquan, raised his chin, and said, "Let's show it to Li Xiang and the ministers."

Before, while listening to Marquis Zhenyuan's speech, he had already quickly read through these and memorized all the contents in his heart.

A moment later, all civil and military officials fell to their knees, their eyes full of grief, "I am incompetent, I don't know the suffering of the people, I have neglected my duty..."

Lu Bingxing slowly shook his head, "If this is true, it is my big fault, my big crime, I have let the people down, I need to issue an edict to admit my mistakes to the people."

"Your Majesty..." Baiguan's expression changed drastically, and his voice trembled.

Among the ledgers produced by the Marquis of Zhenyuan, one of them recorded that the Lin family, a wealthy family in Shandong, colluded with the local prefect to oppress the people and collect taxes indiscriminately.

The other one is about matters related to selling officials to sell officials, accepting bribes and arbitrarily judging unjust, false and wrongly decided cases during his half-life official career.

The other one is a bloody confession made by nearly a hundred peasants who swear by their blood, proving that the taxation in Shandong and other places has increased every year.

Every word is full of blood and tears, every sound is crying for help, there is absolutely no possibility of denying it.

Wen Lin's armor clattered, and he cupped his hands and shouted sharply, "Your Majesty, this matter is completely corrupted by traitors and deceived the Holy Father. What is your business? Your Majesty took everything to himself. Could it be that you want to let go of the real evil beast?" ?"

The sound was loud and exploded above the main hall, and Lu Bingxing seemed to wake up.

He tilted his head, picked up something casually, and threw it directly on the face of someone kneeling on the ground, and shouted in a cold voice, "Lin Heyu, my minister of Honglu Temple, I remember that the Shandong Lin family is your clan, they How could it be possible to dare to disregard the laws of the country and act mischievously without your secret consent?"

Lin Heyu was sweating profusely, and his complexion was too pale.

He just received a letter from Shandong a few days ago, saying that the cooperation account book between their family and Wen Peng, the prefect of Shandong, was stolen by a small yamen servant named Cui Jie. The family is stepping up arresting people and asking him to make a deal with the yamen in central Beijing first. Relationship, don't let this person be sued?

How could he know that this person is actually the lost son of Marquis Zhenyuan, and this incident has been brought directly to His Majesty in just a few days, the Lin family is about to end this time...

He knelt on the ground and crawled forward, with tears running down his face, "Your Majesty, forgive me, I'm guilty, I don't know that my people are so bold, please forgive me..."

Lu Bingxing's voice was even colder, "What crime are you asking me for? You should kowtow and kneel to those innocent people who were murdered by your Lin family!"

Lin and Yu slammed their heads together, "Yes, I have neglected my duty, I am sorry for the common people, I deserve to die..."

"Of course you are sorry, of course you deserve to die. My poor people, if you meet a parent and official like you, your Lin clan will be cut into pieces, and it will be difficult to repay them!"

Wen Lin took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, it's not just the Lin family. It is recorded in the account book of Wen Peng, the prefect of Shandong, that when he served as the general judge in Yangzhou four years ago, he was also entrusted by the Chen family of the local rich family to handle several cases of inversion. A black and white case."

Chen Guanghe had been dismissed a long time ago, and now there is no one in the Chen family, when Wen Lin mentioned this, the few remaining people kneeling on the ground unconsciously gave a sigh of relief, as long as they didn't implicate their own family.

At this moment, Wen Lin's voice sounded again, "But I believe that this cannot be just a matter of Lin and Chen's two aristocratic families.

Coinciding with the assassination of His Majesty today, the King of Wu also involved the participation of the seven great families. As we can see, the great families of this dynasty have been dominating one side for a hundred years, and the inside is probably already rotten. Please make a decisive decision immediately, and thoroughly investigate all The big family will restore the peace of the place and justice to the common people. "
