Zheng Zheng and Hou Jingxian refused to obey anyone, and both wanted this woman named Luo Yunrou. Luo Yunrou turned out to be Ye Tengjiao's concubine, she was eighteen years old. Two years ago, Zheng Zheng went to the Luo family in admiration of her name, and she fell in love with her.

As a betrothal gift, I wanted to marry him as a concubine, but I didn't expect that Ye Tengjiao would get the first move. At that time, Zheng Zheng was so angry that he was furious. However, because Ye Tengjiao was a few levels older than him, and Niu Mandi was his backer, Zheng Zheng could only choose to swallow his anger.

.

Since then, Zheng Zheng had hated Ye Tengjiao deeply. So a few days ago, when Tang Jiu Sheng had not yet entered Jianzhou, but just sent people to sneak into the city to recruit people, Zheng Zheng was willing to act as an internal agent. Originally, Zheng Zheng had no good impression of Ye Tengjiao, and even more

What's more, Ye Tengjiao later robbed his woman? It happened that King Wei wanted to destroy Ye Tengjiao. If he didn't take this opportunity seriously, why would he take it? It was too late to rejoice.

Tang Jiusheng looked at the woman named Luo Yunrou. Sure enough, her teeth were white and her lips were red. She had beautiful eyes and a smile. "Beauty is a disaster!" Tang Jiusheng muttered in a low voice. Tang Jiusheng looked at the two people kneeling in front of him.

Captain, I have a headache. No matter who this woman is promised to, the other person will be unhappy. Logically speaking, Hou Jingxian has the documents from the county magistrate's office. He bought this woman, but he solemnly said that he had paid a betrothal gift before.

, this is how I choose.

However, this incident reminded him that after Ye Tengjiao's downfall, it will involve the redistribution of interests, and there will naturally be conflicts between people. For things like this, the public is justified, and the mother-in-law is justified.

What can be done to them? Tang Jiusheng suddenly remembered that this woman was "sold" by the government, but Ye Tengjiao's case has not been settled yet, so why did the Yamen sell his wives and concubines?

Tang Jiusheng's face darkened, it seemed that what he did was not in compliance with the rules. Thinking of this, Tang Jiusheng said loudly: "Ye Tengjiao's case has not been settled yet. Whether it is a house raid or an extermination, it must comply with the laws of Dashang! Call me this

"Look, Wang, I'm afraid it's not right for you two to fight over this woman right now! It seems a little early for the Yamen to sell her off now!" Zheng Zheng and Hou Jingxian knelt on the ground and looked at each other, seeming to give the prince an answer.

This answer is a bit surprising. The prince did not say who this woman should belong to.

Seeing Tang Jiusheng's unhappy face, Shui Ruyue hurriedly explained with a smile: "The prince thinks that the county magistrate's office handled this matter too hastily! Even if she is a family member of the prisoner, Ye Tengjiao's final charge has still not been cleared, so it's

Selling her is obviously against the king's law. Since the prince thinks so, then Luo Yunrou cannot be taken away by any of you. Why don't you just leave her under my control first? After a conclusion is reached, you

How about taking it away again?"

When Shui Ruyue solemnly heard what she said, she had no choice but to kowtow: "My humble position is entirely at the discretion of the prince and the princess!" Hou Jingxian did not dare to argue anymore and kowtowed in agreement. Shui Ruyue then ordered Shen Xiaoyu to take Luo Yunrou back to the county governor's office first.

Tang Jiusheng lost interest in taking the three women shopping, so he quickly asked Zheng Zheng and Hou Jing to get up first, and then returned to the county governor's office, preparing to discuss the matter with Fan Chenglin.

Tang Jiusheng came to the second hall and found Zheng Wensong, the deputy county magistrate who was handling Ye Tengjiao's case, and asked him why he sold Luo Yunrou to the government in advance. Zheng Wensong was so embarrassed that he quickly bowed and said:

"Your Majesty, I don't know anything about it! Ye Tengjiao's case has not been settled yet. How dare I sell his female family members first? It must be someone below me who is engaging in malpractice for personal gain! I will go to investigate immediately and report back to the prince.

!”

Zheng Wensong was really frightened. He had only been acting as the county governor for another county for more than a month. Which of his bastards dared to give him Mr. Zheng eye drops? You can just do it quietly. The prince who caused the trouble already knows about this.

Is it still possible? After checking, it turned out that it was done by Zhao Jiechen, the secretary of the execution room. Zhao Jiechen and Hou Jingxian turned out to be from the same hometown. When the two were drinking, Zhao Jiechen accidentally mentioned that when they raided Ye Tengjiao's home, he saw that Ye Tengjiao's concubine Luo Yunrou was extremely beautiful.

woman.

Hou Jingxian was very lustful. When he heard Zhao Jiechen's words, he was moved and wanted to see how beautiful Luo Yunrou was. If he met his psychological requirements, he was ready to buy the woman. Anyway, family members of prisoners like this

, either sold into the Jiaofangsi, sent to the army, or sold to others as slaves and maids. If such an official could buy her as a concubine, it would be a great blessing to the ancestors.

In fact, Hou Jingxian has a lot of female relatives in his family. He has a main wife, two side wives and three beautiful concubines, not to mention the nameless maidservant. But this person is very greedy.

, I heard that there was a beauty, so I must take a look. Zhao Jiechen, who was a scribe and in charge of the torture room, took Hou Jingxian to the prison to see Luo Yunrou on the pretext of investigating the case.

When Hou Jing first saw Luo Yunrou, she was indeed very beautiful. Even wearing a sinful dress could not hide her beauty. He immediately told Zhao Jiechen that he wanted to buy this woman as his concubine. Zhao Jiechen thought about it in his mind, and Ye Tengjiao must be finished anyway.

, even if he did not plot rebellion, which was a serious crime of annihilating the nine tribes, he would still have to be hanged or beheaded. Therefore, he used his authority to sell Luo Yunrou to Xianxingguan, of course to Hou Jingxian. Hou Jingxian did not treat Zhao Jiechen badly.

, privately gave him two hundred taels of silver.

Originally, there was already a document on this matter. If it was not made public, it would be over. Who would complain about the female family members of a prison officer? But Hou Jingxian’s family members were not in Jianzhou, but in Luye City. He took them alone.

Three thousand soldiers and horses came to attack Jianzhou, but they were defeated and had to surrender to Tang Jiu Sheng. However, Tang Jiu Sheng arranged for the Owl Guards to rescue the families of Hou Jingxian, Ning Chenggang and others, but only had their families settled there.

Went to Anshu County.

There was no problem with Tang Jiu Sheng's arrangement. Jianzhou was under siege, so it was impossible to send the family members of the surrendered generals to Jianzhou, let alone stay in Luye City. Otherwise, the land would be full of cattle and they would have to kill all the family members of the surrendered generals. However,

Hou Jingxian was alone in Jianzhou, and suddenly he got such a young and beautiful woman as his concubine. He loved her like a treasure and took her with him when he slept and ate.

During the day today, Hou Jingxian thought about buying some hairpin rouge for Luo Yunrou, so he took her to the street, followed by two guards, but he did not expect to bump into Captain Zhiguo Zheng Zheng on the street. But Zheng Zheng and

He recognized this woman and got into a fight with him over it. He insisted on taking this woman back. How could Hou Jingxian endure it? Zheng Zheng was of a lower rank than him, and he bought this woman with money. He had documents in hand.

What are you afraid of being solemn about?

So the two of them fought in the street. Hou Jingxian's bodyguard was so frightened that he ran to the county governor's office for help. After all, Hou Jingxian was just an outsider in Jianzhou. Zheng Zheng was so angry that he attacked in public without thinking about it.

The consequences. But neither of them expected that this matter would happen to King Wei Tang Jiusheng, and Tang Jiusheng was prepared to investigate the matter in depth.

After Zheng Wensong quickly investigated the ins and outs of the matter, he immediately reported it to the prince. Tang Jiusheng was furious. He had heard for a long time that the officials in Jiannan were not in good governance. He did not expect that the prince himself was still in Jianzhou, and a small prison clerk in Jianzhou dared to do favoritism.

Is it okay to violate the law and buy and sell the family members of criminals under the eyes of the prince? Zhao Jiechen was dismissed from his post and investigated. Hou Jingxian bought a concubine through abnormal means. After being scolded by Tang Jiusheng, he offset his military exploits and treated him

The act of buying a concubine privately was not investigated, but the money used to buy the concubine was not received into the treasury.

Zheng Zheng originally didn't want to make a big deal out of the matter, but now that everyone can't stand up, he also regrets his impulsiveness at that time. Originally, the matter could be resolved privately with Hou Jingxian. Therefore, sometimes people can calm down and deal with the matter.

, it is far better than rushing to deal with things in the heat of the moment. There is no point in regretting now. Hou Jing is considered offended.

Because of this incident, Jianzhou officialdom was shaken again. A group of officials, big and small, were dealt with in the Yamen's torture room and prison, and the entire Jianzhou officialdom was trembling. After Tang Jiusheng got angry, he comforted Zheng Wensong a few words, and then sent Hou Jingxian to

He also called him up and gave some words of encouragement. Hou Jingxian also knew that he had gone too far, so he did not dare to complain. Luo Yunrou was taken back to prison and was waiting for Ye Tengjiao's case to be dealt with before handling it.

Tang Jiusheng asked Fan Chenglin privately, "Brother Chenglin, if this case is settled, what should we do in a situation like Luo Yunrou's? When the father-in-law is right, the mother-in-law is right. Should she be given to Hou Jingxian or give her to Hou Jingxian?"

Where's the solemnity?"

Fan Chenglin laughed and said, "Your Majesty, this is so simple! Since Zheng Zheng had already given the betrothal gift, but it was snatched away by Ye Tengjiao, but now Hou Jingxian has paid for it, there is no need to ask them, just ask that

Whichever family a woman wants to marry into, just respect her wishes!" Upon hearing this, Tang Jiu Sheng suddenly became enlightened.

Ye Tengjiao has been the governor of Jianzhou in the past few years. His family wealth is more than 10,000 yuan. It is also more than 100,000 yuan. Tang Jiusheng confiscated his home and even had military expenses. He is so happy. He is worried that Jiannan has no money. The Ye family

He has contributed so much. However, this is all the people's wealth and wealth that Ye Tengjiao has plundered, and a considerable part of it has to be returned to the people. Tang Jiusheng loved money, but he did not want to put it in his pocket. Money can play its role where it should.

It is useful. If you just hide it at home, it will be nothing more than a pile of junk.

In the battle of Jianzhou, Tang Jiusheng won a complete victory, and he was ecstatic. This battle established his position in Jiannan, and Niu Mandi's situation was over. As long as Niu Mandi had the few soldiers and horses on hand now, he would send them in the future.

It's of no use anymore, so taking over Luye will be quick.

Tang Jiusheng stayed in Jianzhou County for a few more days and settled the cases of Ye Tengjiao and his cousin Ma Yuanxi. Then he invited Shang Fangjian to bring out more than ten abusive officials in Jianzhou County headed by Ye Tengjiao and execute them.

The other officials who were not guilty enough to die were also pulled out and beaten, and another group of officials were replaced. The appearance of Jianzhou County was completely new, the people clapped their hands and applauded, and the situation in Jianzhou also stabilized.

.

Most of Ye Tengjiao's concubines were snatched away. According to their wishes, they were either sent back to their parents' families, or bought home by dignitaries. For example, if Luo Yunrou chose Zheng Zheng, she would be taken home by Zheng Zheng.

She became a concubine. After thinking about it, Tang Jiusheng could understand her decision. After all, Zheng Zheng was young, only in his mid-twenties, and he was handsome. Then Hou Jingxian was already in his forties and was not good-looking, so she chose Zheng Zheng instead.

Problem.

Tang Jiusheng awarded these people temporary official positions based on their merits. They could officially take office only after the emperor's imperial edict was issued and the actual official positions were awarded.

Tang Jiusheng had a private chat with Fan Chenglin and decided to give him 5,000 elite troops, with Jin Chengzhang as the main general and Hou Jingxian as the deputy general. Fan Chenglin was asked to supervise the army and lead the army to attack Biji, which was more than 200 miles southwest of Jianzhou County.

Biji Village in Biji Mountain, County. The small Biji Village only has 3,000 troops, but it dares to proclaim itself emperor openly. How can it explain to the court if it is not wiped out?

Fan Chenglin was overjoyed and could finally go back to seek revenge on Zheng Daqiang and He Meichun. The second village leader Jian Rang had twice saved Fan Chenglin's life. This time he was ordered by the prince to attack the village and must save the life of the second brother Jian.

Jin Chengzhang and Hou Jing first ordered their troops and horses, and under the leadership of Fan Chenglin, they went straight to Biji Village in Biji Mountain. Of course, the team had to pass through Biji County.

The magistrate of Biji County was really happy when he heard that the prince sent troops to attack Biji Village. Zheng Daqiang has been extremely arrogant in the past two months, but his Biji County has been bullied miserably. Now someone has finally avenged them. Biji County

After hearing the news, the common people also came to send rice and meat, hoping that the imperial army would defeat the bandits as soon as possible and eliminate harm to the people. Seeing the people like this, Fan Chenglin, Jin Chengzhang and others vowed to eradicate the cancer of Biji Village.

The people had finished showing condolences to the army, and Jin Chengzhang led his army to station in the city that night. Early the next morning, he fired artillery into the city and fought to the foot of Biji Mountain. Already, some patrolling minions rushed up the mountain to report, running and shouting: "

It's a disaster, it's a disaster! There are officers and soldiers coming from the bottom of the mountain again!" All the minions, big and small, became nervous. After all, no officers and soldiers had come to attack them for more than half a year.

The minions ran into the Juyi Hall and reported to "Emperor" Zheng Daqiang and "General Protector" Jian Rang, saying that thousands of officers and soldiers had come down from the mountain, and the force was so powerful that no previous officers and soldiers could match it. "Your Majesty," please do something early.

Prepare. Zheng Daqiang said with a disapproving look: "Our Biji Village is a hundred miles away and the mountains are thousands of feet high. The mountains are steep and easy to defend and difficult to attack. Officers and soldiers came six or seven times, but were defeated. Only then did we develop and grow. Now they are here.

What can we do?"

Jian Rang, who was standing "in front of the emperor", shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, since they dare to come again, they must have something to rely on. Moreover, according to the spies' report, Wei Wang Tang Jiu Sheng has already pacified Jianzhou and brought down the soldiers and horses everywhere."

They have all been defeated and incorporated. I am afraid that he will attack the entire Jiannan Road. How can we, Biji Village, be immune? We only have about 3,000 soldiers and horses. Although we occupy a favorable location, once the officers and soldiers seal the mountain, our food and grass will become a problem.

, what should we do at that time?”

Zheng Daqiang glared and said: "General Zheng, what do you mean by this? Do you also want to imitate that bastard Fan Chenglin and want to come down from the mountain and surrender? Under the banner of the Jade Rooster Kingdom, we proclaimed ourselves the emperor and appointed hundreds of civil and military officials.

, if he is caught, it will definitely be a serious crime that will kill everyone. I don’t want to die! Let’s guard this mountain and be the king. No matter how many officers and soldiers there are, he can’t get up. Why should I be afraid of him?”

Jian Rang smiled bitterly and shook his head, then said: "Your Majesty, you misunderstood me! What I mean is that we have to go down the mountain and fight with them for a while. If we can defeat them, wouldn't that be better?"

Only then did Zheng Daqiang realize that he had misunderstood what Jian Rang meant, and he immediately said with a smile on his face: "In that case, you are the general protecting the country. If there is an invasion from a foreign enemy, it is your duty to lead the troops to defeat the enemy! You

Lead a thousand soldiers and horses down the mountain to meet with these officials. I will watch the enemy's plundering formation from behind, waiting for your good news!"

Jian Rang immediately raised his hands and said: "Yes, I obey the order!" Jian Rang immediately left the "Jinluan Palace", lit up a thousand soldiers and horses, and went down the mountain in a show of force. Zheng Daqiang then led three hundred elite minions to give Jian Rang the reward.

Let the formation be controlled. Jian Rang took the lead and led the people down Biji Mountain to the gentle slope at the foot of the mountain. He saw a Biao army on the opposite side had already set up a formation. The leader of the Chinese army was carrying a big halberd, majestic. It was Jin.

Into a chapter.

Jian Rang ordered his minions to set up their positions, then stepped forward and shouted: "I am Jian Rang, the general protecting the country of the Biji Kingdom, and I will give you my name!"

When Jin Chengzhang heard that he claimed to be the general of the Jade Rooster Kingdom, he smiled coldly, "You ignorant bandits, you only occupy a mountain, and you are so arrogant that you openly proclaim yourself emperor. Don't you know that this is a serious crime of confiscating your family and exterminating your family?"

Jian Rang sneered and said: "How can your emperor of the Great Shang Kingdom, who is controlled by eunuchs, humiliated by princes, and trapped in a deep palace, lead the people of the Great Shang Kingdom? He is still an emperor with his cowardly appearance, not to mention that the leader of our Dazhai is so wise.

A man of martial arts? The master of my stronghold has been entrusted with the destiny of heaven and established himself as the emperor here. In the future, he will lead elite soldiers and strong generals to kill Yong'an and seize the throne. If you can surrender the master of my stronghold, you will be granted the title of marquis and the prime minister in the future!"

Hou Jingxian, who was on the side, was furious. He jumped out of the horse with the golden spear in his hand and shouted: "You are bandits and grass bandits who don't know your own capabilities! You dare to proclaim yourself emperor if you have three or two thousand men. It's ridiculous! Bandits,...
