The reborn prince can't be pushed down

Chapter 366
"Bastard, before my son and wife entered the city, they had already been inspected by the inspection department, what does it mean to check now!"

Zuo Ming tightened the reins and scolded these people coldly.

But the other side has so many people that they have already surrounded the entire carriage.

"It's one thing for the inspection department to check, but it's another thing for the magistrate's government to check. One moment and another moment!"

What is two mouthfuls of official characters? This is it!
When Jiang Nian went to study in the imperial capital, under the pretense of not wanting to take advantage of his father's identity, he asked Jiang Qixi to create a fake household registration of "Jiang Nian" for him. He has been using this fake identity for so many years in business.

This time, he brought Ning Yuezhao to the south, and made a complete set of road guides and household registration, so he was not afraid of anyone to check.It's just that the prefect Li is clearly using the excuse of checking his identity at the moment, and he is afraid that if someone enters the yamen, it will be difficult to come out.

Zuo Ming now has a limited number of guards around him, but these people are all masters, and it's no problem to deal with these Yamen arresters.

Just when he was about to give the order to start, Jiang Nian's voice came from the car, "Since it's the magistrate's office, we and other good people will naturally cooperate, so drive the car to the office."

As soon as the head catcher heard that the person in the car was willing to cooperate, he immediately wanted to get in the car to catch him, not wanting that Zuo Ming's sword hilt was already on his throat, "Didn't you hear what my son said?"

This is the last concession, otherwise there will be a war.

The head catcher saw that these servants and guards were not easy to get along with, so he took a step back and walked in front of the carriage with arrogance, as if he could get back a bit of prestige for himself.

Zuo Ming sat back on the shaft of the car again, looked at the deliberately straight body in front of him, and sarcastically said: "The jumping beam clown doesn't know it yet!"

The carriage drove all the way to the county government office. Surrounded by the guards of the forbidden army in modest clothes, Jiang Nian was reluctant to let Ning Yuezhao, the king of a country, accompany him to the lobby to suffer this anger. He left her in the car. Anyway, the government of the government office People didn't know that there were two people sitting in the car, and their goal was only Jiang Nian. As for the woman beside him, it was dispensable to those people.

After Jiang Nian got off the carriage, Zuo Ming handed over the carriage to another guard, and he himself followed Jiang Nian into the lobby.

In the courtroom, there were two classes of yamen servants lined up, and Li Zhifu sat upright, looking like he was trying important cases.

"Crack!" The gavel slapped, and Li Zhifu raised his eyebrows, "Bold and unreasonable, you won't kneel down when you see this government!"

Jiang Nian took out a folding fan from his sleeve, opened it with a snap, and shook it again and again, full of romance and suave, "I am a man of fame, and according to the laws of Daxing, there is no need to kneel in the courtroom." .”

At this time, Zuo Ming had already taken out the guide and handed it over to Li Zhifu by the yamen servant.

Li Zhifu took a cursory glance, and found that his family background was clean and simple, but this young man, not to mention his handsome features, his tall stature, his gestures and gestures exuded a sense of nobility, he was the son of a phoenix and the grandson of a dragon, and that was about it.

He was able to sneak into the seat of a magistrate, and his mind was not too bad, and several thoughts turned in his mind immediately.

"Since he is a good citizen with a clean net worth, he must have misunderstood, let him go!"

When the gavel was photographed again, the people present were dumbfounded. Your lord put up such a big battle, but you actually put it down gently like this?
The fellow prefect Cai Jin couldn't help coughing a few times, wanting to remind Li Zhifu not to mess up.

Jiang Nian stopped shaking his fan suddenly, and the smile on his lips faded, "Misunderstanding? So I and my family are not refugees anymore?"

Li Zhifu was shocked by his half-smile expression, and tightened his palms, "You can tell by the young master's demeanor and attire. Naturally, you won't be a refugee. You can go..."

Feeling hairy for no reason, Li Zhifu regretted it very much at the moment, feeling like shooting himself in the foot with a stone.

Closing the folding fan with a snap, Jiang Nian said in a cold tone, "Your Excellency, the interrogation is over, and I still have a pleading paper to sue here. Since Your Excellency has been promoted, don't waste it."

Li Zhifu frowned, "If you want to file a lawsuit, you have to come back tomorrow."

Jiang Nian raised his chin in the direction of the master, "Isn't there a pen and paper in the lobby? I'll dictate and record it for you."

In order to make it easier for the people to file complaints, Daxing's regulations allow illiterate people to make oral complaints, which can only be recorded in documents.

Seeing Jiang Nian's appearance, Li Zhifu's heart beat even more uncertainly. He waved his hands impatiently, "Aren't you a person with fame and fame? Go back and write the pleadings!"

Jiang Nian took a step forward, his eyes turned cold and stern, "Tomorrow will not work, because what I want to sue is Li Kun, the prefect of Ningcheng, who is corrupt and perverts the law!"

Li Zhifu was startled, he hurriedly touched the gavel, and hurriedly got down on the ground, not wanting to slip his hand—"Ah!"

The gavel fell heavily on the table, but it also hit his ring finger and little finger of his right hand hard, the ten fingers connected to his heart, and immediately the pain caused him to cry out in surprise, covering the sound of the gavel.

"Bold and unreasonable, you dare to slander this official!" Li Zhifu endured the severe pain and roared almost gnashing his teeth.

Jiang Nian flicked his sleeves, and said solemnly: "Whether it is slander or not, just let someone search the back hall of the magistrate's yamen to find out."

How could Li Zhifu not know the situation of his back hall? It would be fine if it was changed to another day, but today my mother moved back from Qinghui Building with many strange and ingenious things, not to mention his stupid old lady He bought things at four times the price, even if it was the original price, he could only afford it with his salary for several years, how could he stand up to the investigation!

Cai Jin, the magistrate of the prefect, hurried forward and whispered a few words beside Li Zhifu. Li Zhifu immediately calmed down and said in a cold voice: "You are just a person with a reputation as a scholar, why should you bother me?" The situation! The child is frivolous, if I don’t reprimand you, from now on everyone will think that the prefect’s yamen is a market where people can come and go as they please!”

After finishing speaking, he reached out and grabbed a handful of red-headed sticks, threw them on the ground, and said viciously, "Hit me!"

One red-headed lottery is ten boards, and Li Zhifu threw down a dozen or so sticks, even copper skin and iron bones can't stand the hundred and ten boards!
Don't say that Jiang Nian is still following Zuo Ming, just with his martial arts, what can these government servants do against him?
Jiang Nian smiled faintly, glanced at the yamen servant who came over with the board, and asked indifferently, "Is the imperial envoy appointed by the Holy Majesty qualified enough?"

Most of Li Zhifu's hard-won confidence was dispelled, and Cai Jin said first: "Don't listen to his nonsense, he is just a lowly businessman, execute him immediately!"

Is it time to act first?
"Who dares to do it!"

There was a shout from outside, and a young man in a vermilion official uniform was standing outside the lobby, surrounded by dozens of officials behind him.

How is this going?Li Zhifu was about to cut through the mess quickly, but the man came slowly, and the golden pheasant patch of the second-rank civil servant in front of him was very conspicuous.

Li Zhifu and Cai Jin hurried out from behind the table and knelt in the lobby, and the two classes of yamen servants also knelt on the ground, not daring to act rashly.

They have already recognized this young man as Tang Jiheng, the imperial envoy who was ordered to come to the south of the Yangtze River to deal with the aftermath of the typhoon, and who is currently the minister of punishment.

This person is one of Yan Zhenglang's favorite pupils. During the empress's western expedition, he assisted Yan Zhenglang in running the Ministry of Punishment in an orderly manner.So this time Yan Zhenglang recommended him as an imperial envoy to go to the south of the Yangtze River to deal with the typhoon.

But long before the imperial envoy arrived, the Kangyu Palace had stepped forward to appease the victims.Ning Cheng didn't suffer any real loss. Counting the time, this Tang Jiheng should have set off to return to the imperial capital. Why did he suddenly appear in Ning Cheng?

Just when Li Zhifu opened his mouth to point out that Tang Jiheng was acting as a substitute, Tang Jiheng had already taken out a roll of yellow silk, and said seriously: "There is an order from the Holy Spirit, let me inspect the official style of the four states in the south of the Yangtze River! A few days ago, I received a tip. The prefect of Ningcheng is suspected of corrupting ink, so he came here to investigate."

Li Zhifu stretched out his hand tremblingly, and Tang Jiheng directly put the imperial edict in his hand.

A roll of yellow silk weighed more than a thousand catties. When Li Zhifu read the content of the imperial edict with a pale face, Cai Jin beside him was also ashamed.

How could it be so timely that they arrested this young businessman, and the imperial envoy came to the door right away?
When Li Zhifu's eyes swept back and forth between Jiang Nian and Tang Jiheng, he found that the two just glanced at each other without any unnecessary expressions.

Just when he was hesitating, Tang Jiheng ordered people to search the house.

Soon, Mrs. Li walked from the backyard to the front hall with a terrified expression. She was shocked when she saw her son kneeling on the ground. Ah, what's going on here?"

She turned around and saw Jiang Nian who was waving his fan like a normal person, and immediately felt angry, "Why is this troublemaker here so well?"

Jiang Nian didn't even give her a corner of his eye. From the beginning to the end, his goal was not this vulgar and ignorant woman.

Li Zhifu gritted his teeth, "Mother, the imperial envoy is handling the case. You are not in good health, so don't meddle in it."

After saying that, he looked up at Tang Jiheng, "My lord, this matter has nothing to do with my mother, please don't get involved with her, let her and my wife go back to her mother's house to avoid it."

Tang Jiheng glanced at the pale old lady Li, "Don't you know, Li Kun, that this is a serious crime of ransacking the family and exterminating the family? Since you are a family member of a prisoner, what are you talking about avoiding!"

As his words fell, Mrs. Li's foreign gadgets bought from Qinghui Building at a high price earlier had been brought to the lobby, along with the 600 taels of silver notes sent back by Shi Yingjie. As for other antiques and belongings , was also presented together.

Tang Jiheng walked up to Li Kun, "What else can you say?"

Li Kun looked at the things that were searched, his body trembled like leaves falling in the wind, and said with a pale face, "The imperial envoy convicts officials of corrupting ink just because they have more property in the official's house. This is too arbitrary. Bar!"

Tang Jiheng stretched out his hand, and immediately one of his subordinates handed over a stack of information, "I have checked your family property. Although the family has a small property, the property in your house now exceeds your family property."

Mrs. Li argued: "This includes the income from the old man and his daughter-in-law's dowry in the past few years. My son has never done anything corrupt or illegal!"

Tang Jiheng threw the information in his hand in front of Li Kun, "You can read it yourself."

Li Kun picked up the papers in a hurry, took a closer look, and sat down on the ground, "This...how could this be..."

Seeing that the situation was not good, Cai Jin snatched the paper from Li Kun's hand, and his face turned pale after reading it.Holding the papers, he suddenly stood up, and said coldly, "What do you mean!"

Tang Jiheng sneered, "The evidence is solid, but I want to know what Cai Tongzhi means!"

The stack of things he threw out just now were the details of the money transactions and the amount of silver deposits under the name of Li Kun and Cai Jin's largest bank in the south of the Yangtze River, the Four Seas Bank.

The imperial envoy has only been here for a few days, how can they find out who they are at the Four Seas Bank?
Cai Jin smiled instead, "Tang Jiheng, if you dare to touch me today, you probably don't know yet, right? My mother said that King Kangyu's aunt, and King Kangyu and I are cousins. This is Jiangnan. You should think about it carefully! "

So what about the imperial envoy appointed by the sage!This is King Kangyu's sphere of influence, and it's hard for a strong dragon to overwhelm a local snake!
Tang Jiheng glanced at Jiang Nian with a pale look, and a sneering smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "King Kangyu's cousin? It's a big air, then you can see if I have the ability! Come on, get Li Kun and Cai Jin and his family are all captured!"

With a vertical hand as a knife, it fell mercilessly, and the guards rushed in one after another, quickly restraining Li Kun and others.

Cai Jin opened his mouth to say something, but the guards already blocked his mouth.

Li Kun was dragged by the guards, he turned towards Jiang Nian, and said loudly: "Young Master Jiang, I have something to say, I hope you will give me a chance!"

The situation has developed to this stage, if he still can't see who is in charge, he can really die.

Tang Jiheng looked at Jiang Nian asking for instructions. Although he didn't say anything, Jiang Nian understood what he meant. He said softly, "Go to the Qinghui Tower, and leave this person to me."

Tang Jiheng clasped his fists together and retreated with the guards.

Cai Jin was escorted to the prison by the guards, Mrs. Li was also taken down, and the two classes of yamen servants were still kneeling, not daring to make the slightest movement.

Li Kun was cut behind the back by the guards, and knelt in the middle of the lobby. He looked up at Jiang Nian, "Master, Li has been an official for many years, and he dare not boast that he has a clean hand, but he has never done anything harmful to the world. Let me ask the people in the officialdom, who is there?" How many are completely innocent?"

When the water is clear, there will be no fish, and when people observe it, there will be no disciples.He didn't need to say more about this truth, and Jiang Nian understood it, so he didn't interrupt Li Kun and let him continue.

"Ningcheng is an important place in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is also the place where King Kangyu's mansion is located. I can boldly say that there is no official here who does not belong to King Kangyu. For example, I have an account in the Four Seas Bank, and the money is also from King Kangyu's mansion. The person who has been directly deposited in my name. He asked me to turn a blind eye to the business of Qinghuilou, and turn a blind eye. I am a fifth-rank magistrate with a shallow foundation. How can I forcefully pass the Kangyu Palace? If I don’t follow, He died a long time ago. As for that Cai Jin, he sat in this position completely relying on the background of King Kangyu. I don’t know the identity of the son, but today it was Cai Jin who conveyed the will of King Kangyu, saying that he wanted me You must find an excuse to imprison the young master. I hesitated at first, but my mother came to ask me to uphold justice for her again? I was also obsessed with ghosts, so I did such a thing. When I saw the young master in the lobby, I regretted it Is it?"

As he spoke, his head was almost lowered to the ground. He didn't even dare to ask Jiang Nian's identity, but kept searching in his mind for information about officials in the imperial capital who were about the same age as Jiang Nian. Only the son of the former Minister of the Ministry of War, the Lu family was ransacked and beheaded by the first emperor because of treason, and later miraculously rehabilitated, since Qingyun went straight to the land base.

"Coercion between kindness and power, is this the way King Kangyu wins over the Jiangnan officialdom?" Jiang Nian's mouth curled up in a mocking arc.

From Li Kun's sudden change of attitude towards him in the lobby just now, he knew that this person was not stupid, such as the timely defection now.

He ordered someone to pull up the document, "Record all what Li Kun said just now?"

"Yes..." The clerk obediently got up, scrambled back to his seat, and picked up a pen to record.

Jiang Nian's eyes once again fell on Li Zhifu, "There are typhoon disasters along the coast every year, and this year's casualties are particularly heavy. What role does King Kangyu play in this?"

Li Zhifu was startled, and said half-paid: "The status of a subordinate official is not enough to know King Kangyu's plan, but this typhoon disaster is really tricky. Before the typhoon comes, there are always some abnormal signs. At this time The government wants to strengthen the houses that have been in danger of collapse for a long time, and prohibit fishermen from going to sea. However, since the beginning of spring this year, the number of fish in the coastal waters has been much less than before. In order to make a living, fishermen can only go further afield to fish. It just so happens that in Before the typhoon came, a large number of fish schools were found in the sea a little farther away, and the fishermen couldn't help being tempted, braved the wind and rain to go to sea, and the local officials in coastal counties did not stop them, and the result was a tragedy."

"If you confessed frankly today, you can pay off the crime." Jiang Nian asked Li Kun to sign the confession, and he was taken away.

Zuo Ming walked up to Jiang Nian, "My lord, copying this Qinghui Building means breaking with Kangyu Palace."

Jiang Nian's dark eyes deepened, "Gu has no patience, what he wants is to draw the bottom line."

-

At this moment in the carriage, Ning Yuezhao lifted the curtain, just in time to see Tang Jiheng leading the imperial guards towards Qinghui Tower, which caused quite a commotion on the street.

Although she and Jiang Nian have plans to open the sea ban, but now King Kangyu's people have colluded with the coastal garrison to sneak into Chencang, which they cannot tolerate.

Even if it is iron, they have to kick it!
The carriage turned a corner and entered the alley, but it didn't take long before the carriage stopped suddenly.

The imperial guards sitting on the shaft of the car outside immediately rang the alarm bell, "Who is it? Get out of the way quickly, don't block our car!"

An ominous premonition rose in Ning Yuezhao's heart, she had already heard the sound of a weapon being unsheathed.

Xue Jing, who was with her, opened the curtain of the car, and sure enough, the people on both sides had already fought, "Your Majesty, I will escort you away first!"

The last time she traveled west, the two maids close to Ning Yuezhao suffered tragic accidents. This time, Bitao reselected two maids for her when she came back. She is strong in martial arts and suitable for a woman to accompany her, and Xue Jing's medical skills are not inferior to Fu Liao's. With her by Ning Yuezhao's side, Jiang Nian feels at ease.

With her and Xue Jing's martial arts, it is easy to get out of the chaos now.

This group of people didn't know who sent them, they were more numerous than the guards at her side, and all of them were highly skilled in martial arts.

Ning Yuezhao said in a low voice, "Let's go."

As soon as the two got out of the car, someone jumped out from behind and rushed towards Ning Yuezhao.

Xue Jing was about to make a move, but Ning Yuezhao happened to hold her hand, with a panic expression on his face, "Who are you? What are you going to do?"

The man sneered, "Madam will find out after walking with us."

As soon as the words fell, the cold sword edge reached Ning Yuezhao's throat, "Stop!"

Ning Yuezhao gestured to the imperial guards, "Don't come here, he will kill me."

The leader of this group of people was very satisfied with Ning Yuezhao's sense of current affairs, and if he kidnapped someone, he would retreat.Because Ning Yuezhao was holding Xue Jing's hand tightly, those people took her away as an ordinary maid.

Seeing these people run away from the top of the wall, the imperial guards quickly divided into two groups, tracking them all the way, and going to inform Jiang Nian all the way.

　Because there is not much content in the following, I will try to write as much as possible before updating, so as not to squeeze toothpaste, and it will be painful for everyone to watch.
