Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 140 These villains
Until the afternoon.

The two scribes and guards sent to Tongzhou have returned, but there is still no news from Zhu Di.

"Don't worry, Guo Changshi, it's only 5000 mu of land, and the total price is only [-] taels of silver. It's still handled by our Yan Palace. Those officials in Tongzhou will never be so bold."

A scribe noticed Guo An's worry, and offered some kind words of comfort.

"Besides, the villains have checked carefully, and the people who came to collect the money are indeed the people near the Zhangjiawan Wharf.

After the people received the money, they all praised His Highness for your kindness with gratitude..."

"Okay, you've worked hard, let's go down and rest first."

Guo An waved his hands, not believing what the two scribes said.

After the two scribes went down, they got up and went directly to the Palace of Cunxin.

The more relaxed and reasonable the two scribes said, the more unreasonable and uneasy they felt in Guo An's view.

How can it be so easy to expropriate people's farmland?

In the past few days, Zhu Di has no government affairs.

Therefore, this meeting is also sitting in the hall of intention, waiting for the report from Jin Yiwei.

This time Jin Yiwei didn't report to him for so long, Zhu Di had an inexplicable feeling that there seemed to be something really wrong on the land of Zhangjiawan Wharf.

"Your Highness!"

Walking into the Hall of Cultivation, Guo An saluted Zhu Di slightly, and then found a chair where the sun could shine and sat down.

In Beiping this time, although it is no longer necessary to burn iron stoves, it is still a little cold.

Zhu Di nodded slightly, and asked, "The two scribes are back?"

Guo An replied: "Returning to Your Highness, the two scribes have already returned, but they said that the people who came to collect the money were all full of joy, and some even praised His Highness for his kindness."

Zhu Di's expression softened slightly, "That's good."

And Guo An just smiled wryly, "Your Highness, Jin Yiwei hasn't responded yet?"

Zhu Di was a little surprised, "Guo Qing is still worried?"

Guo An nodded slightly: "Your Highness, I always feel that this time, I should have done bad things with good intentions and harmed a group of people."

Zhu Di smiled lightly and comforted: "Why does Guo Qing do this? Even if something really happened at the Zhangjiawan Wharf, it's because of those thieves, officials, corrupt officials who corrupted the law, what have you got to do with it?"

As he said that, Zhu Di blamed him a little, "Jin Yiwei is really getting lazy, in the past when we asked something, they would report it to us in less than two hours.

This time, it has been almost a day, and they can't even see anyone..."

"Your Highness, don't worry, Tongzhou is still some distance away from Beiping." Guo An comforted.

After speaking, Guo An felt something was wrong, obviously he should be worried, why did he start to comfort others again?
"Your Highness!"

Suddenly, a servant hurried in from outside the hall and reported to Zhu Di: "Jinyiwei Qianhu Pu Sanji asks to see you."

Zhu Di cheered up, "Let him in."

"Yes!"

The waiter waited and walked out quickly.

Soon, a strong man in a flying fish uniform walked in from outside the hall.

"The last general, Pu Sanji, will see His Royal Highness King Yan."

Zhu Di asked softly: "We asked you to investigate, but what has been found out?"

Pu Sanji replied: "His Royal Highness, the general has already found out."

"Oh?"

Zhu Di asked curiously: "Tell us, in the matter of Zhangjiawan Wharf, are there thieves, officials and evil officials who oppress and exploit the people?"

Pu Sanji replied in a deep voice: "Your Highness is wise."

"Very good...huh?"

Zhu Di looked serious, stared at Pu Sanji closely, and asked angrily: "There are really thieves and officials who oppress and exploit the people?"

"Returning to Your Highness, according to the general's investigation, there are 16 farmers near the Zhangjiawan Wharf, [-] merchants, and five larger merchants.

No matter how many fields each of these peasant households have, each household is only subsidized with 20 taels of silver; as for the shops of merchants, no matter how large they are, each family is only subsidized with 20 taels of silver.

And the five larger merchants, each with 100 taels of silver, and the remaining households, each with five taels of silver...

Your Highness, these are the items that the brothers under the command of the last general have checked..."

With that said, Pu Sanji also handed three pieces of paper full of words to Zhu Di.

Down below, Guo An had already got up, and an unknown fire rose in his heart.

"boom!"

On the throne, after reading the paper handed by Pu Sanji, Zhu Di was furious, and slapped the table in front of him fiercely.

"How dare these thieves?"

Guo An asked with some doubts: "Today, the clerks sent by the government to Zhangjiawan Wharf in Tongzhou distributed corresponding taels of silver to each farmer, ranging from 34 taels of silver to hundreds of taels at most.

Why did Pu Qianhu say that every household only got 20 taels of silver?

Also, the owners of those shops and houses, and the scribes in the mansion also distributed silver taels one by one. How did those thieves, officials and evil officials exploit the people from here? "

Pu Sanji glanced at Zhu Di above, and then replied: "Guo Changshi probably doesn't know that the people who took the land deeds and house deeds to receive money today are all servants of the local gentry's mansion."

"what?"

Both Zhu Di and Guo An couldn't help being shocked.

"Where did the original people go?"

Pu Sanji replied: "His Royal Highness, the people who belonged to the fields and houses have been collectively detained by the local officials and the gentry at that time.

As for those who are disobedient and want to resist and escape, either their legs will be broken, or they will be beaten to death directly..."

"These villains!"

Both Zhu Di and Guo An were gritting their teeth with frost on their faces.

Guo An, in particular, had the urge to kill Cui Shijian, the prefect of Tongzhou.

"Come on, quickly summon Zhu Liang and Li Wang to this king!"

Zhu Di took a deep breath and shouted towards the outside.

"Here."

A waiter outside the door gave a sound, and then hurried to the distance.

Soon, Zhu Liang and Li Wang ran in hurriedly.

"Your Highness?"

"Summon a thousand guards and follow me to Tongzhou." Zhu Di said coldly.

"Follow the order!"

Zhu Liang and Li Wang responded solemnly, and then ran outside.

Zhu Di looked at Guo An and Pu Sanji again, "Guo Qing, Pu Sanji, you two will follow us.

Let's see what kind of wolves, tigers and leopards are the officials and gentry in Tongzhou! "

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Pu Sanji quickly responded.

As for Guo An, even if Zhu Di didn't call, he would follow.

After all, strictly speaking, those few civilians who were killed were all caused by him.

Guo An, who had never killed anyone before, was also motivated to kill this time.

"Your Highness, I feel that we need to call in some more people this time."

"Who else should I call?"

Zhu Di asked quietly.

Guo An replied: "Your Highness, I feel that this kind of evil behavior should be seen by all the officials in the palace, so that in the future, some officials in the palace don't know the dangers of these state and county officials and fall into the trap again."

Zhu Di nodded, "Yes!"

Guo An said again: "In addition, Yu Rentian, the magistrate of Beiping Prefecture, Zhao Jie, the Tongzhi, and Tongju Dangfu should be brought in. Regardless of whether they are involved in such evils, they are responsible for their ineffective supervision.

In addition, the chief envoys and the inspectors should also summon several officials. After all, the officials of Tongzhou and Zhizhou are court officials. If His Highness punishes them privately, it may attract criticism.

Moreover, there are such corrupt officials and evil officials in Tongzhou, they are all responsible, and it is right to make them work harder. "

The most important thing is that in this era, travel is a serious crime.

Guo An felt that how could it be possible for Yan Wangfu to help arrest corrupt officials and let those officials enjoy their profits?

To suffer, everyone together!
"Can!"

Zhu Di didn't think much, just nodded in agreement, and then looked at Zhu Liang and Li Wang who were hurrying in from outside.

"Let's go and summon the prefect, co-prefect, and general judge of the Beiping prefecture.

The chief envoy summoned a councilor to take care of the mill and check the school.

According to the inspector's department, a deputy envoy was summoned to take care of the mill and check the school.

Let them follow the king to Tongzhou! "

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Zhu Liang and Li Wang were both heartbroken, and they were still a little excited, so they hurriedly responded, and then ran out again.

Your Highness is going to make a big deal!

Zhu Di turned his head and said to the servant at the side: "Go ahead quickly and summon all the officials from the Chief History Department and the scribes to this king!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

The servants in the hall already knew what had happened, so none of them dared to delay, and hurried out.

Soon, Zhu Fu also hurried in from outside with a group of long history officials.

"My minister came to see His Highness, I don't know what happened? To make His Highness so angry?"

After saluting, Zhu Fu hurriedly asked.

Seeing the thousand murderous Yan Palace guards summoned by Zhu Liang and Li Wang outside, Zhu Fu felt terrified.

He was afraid that His Royal Highness King Yan would do something wrong on impulse, and that his long history department would be in bad luck.

"Hmph, there are bandit officials and gentry in Tongzhou who have joined forces to use my king's reputation to exploit and oppress the common people!"

Zhu Di said in a cold voice, as soon as this was mentioned, Zhu Di subconsciously became extremely angry.

He wouldn't be so angry if it was just that Tongzhou officials united with the gentry to oppress the people.

However, those dog officials and gentry actually borrowed the name of his King Yan's mansion, that is, his name of King Yan, to exploit and oppress the people!

How could Zhu Di endure this?
During this time, Guo An also told Zhu Fu and the officials of the Chief History Department all the ins and outs of the incident.

Rao Zhu Fu, who always seeks stability, is also full of frost, "These bandit officials and gentry should be killed!"

"His Royal Highness, all the thousand brothers have assembled!"

At this time, a hundred households came in from the outside to report.

Zhu Di took a look, "Let's go!"

After speaking, Zhu Di went straight out.

Guo An, Zhu Fu and others hurriedly followed.

Outside the palace, a thousand guards of the Palace of Yan, wearing armor, holding spears, steel knives, shields, and longbows slung across their backs, stood neatly in front of the gate, with a chilling air directly at the gate of the Palace of Yan. spread out.

As Zhu Di stepped out of the gate, a guard immediately came to horses.

Zhu Di got on his horse directly.

After searching around, except for a few unowned horses, they didn't find a carriage. Guo An's face turned bitter, and he could only obediently get on a horse.

As for the officials behind him, they also remembered something, and they all had sad faces.

However, Zhu Di was furious at this time, and these officials did not dare to open their mouths.

When Zhu Di left the Shuncheng Gate, Yu Rentian, the magistrate of Beiping Prefecture, and others, as well as a group of officials from the chief envoy and the procuratorate, all chased after Zhu Di under the leadership of Zhu Liang and Li Wang.

　Sorry: I changed the one hundred miles in the last two chapters to fifty miles.

　　When I checked before, I checked it on the website, but I didn't check it!
　　I checked it again today with my mobile phone map: the distance between Zhangjiawan in Tongzhou and Beiping Mansion should be about [-] miles.

　　Although it is impossible to be very accurate, it is only a few miles away~~~︿(￣︶￣)︿
