"Does the prefect's Yamen not care?"

"The prefect's Yamen is surrounded."

"Who is so bold! Even the prefect's Yamen dares to surround us!"

"Mr. Zong, calm down your anger first. These local scholars and squires were in a mood, but they didn't hurt anyone."

Zongze said: "But why did I just enter the city and meet a group of people who said they were Liu Biao's men collecting protection money on the street, and also said that Liu Biao was one of your Lu Sicao people?"

Lu Yi was shocked, but he pretended to be calm and said: "These thieves are talking nonsense, and they dare to use my name to defraud. Where is this person? I must arrest him and interrogate him strictly!"

"already dead."

"died?"

"He attacks the Imperial Guards and should be killed according to law!"

Lu Yi immediately broke out in cold sweat on his forehead and praised with a smile: "Mr. Zong is indeed a hero of the world."

Zongze suddenly said: "Lu Sicao, now that something bad is happening in Jiangning Mansion, I want to take over Jiangning Mansion with full authority!"

"Mr. Zong, this..."

Zongze said unceremoniously: "As a transport envoy, Lu Sicao neglected his duty first by sitting back and watching the thieves make trouble. Here comes someone! Take off Lu Yi's official hat and throw him into prison to wait for his fate!"

As soon as Zongze said these words, the imperial army strode over.

Lu Yi was so shocked that he didn't even react for a moment.

"Zongze, you..."

"how?"

Lu Yi said angrily: "Zongze, you are the deputy military and political envoy, in charge of military and political affairs."

"I am your Majesty's imperial envoy sent to Jiangning, and I have your Majesty's oracle with me!" Zongze took out the oracle given to him by Zhao Guan's family.

There is a line of words written on it: Wherever Zongze comes, it is like I am here in person!

Lu Yi looked shocked when he saw this: "Mr. Zong, you can't blame the officials for this. It is rumored among the people that the imperial court increased taxes in Jiangdong, so they got into trouble. This is also human nature. The people are already very difficult, and now it is just a small fuss. If

If the imperial court continues to sit back and ignore the sentiments of the people, I'm afraid there will be another Fang La!"

"Shut up!" Zongze slammed the table angrily, and the table almost fell apart. "As a transport envoy, Jiangning is so chaotic, and you dare to judge him in front of me!"

"Mr. Zong, you have to make a clear distinction. The most urgent task now is to deal with civil unrest!"

"I have already inquired about it. There has been trouble in Jiangning Mansion for more than half a month. Why didn't you send someone to stop it? When I came, you remembered that the top priority was to deal with the trouble among the people?"

"This... the lower official also saw Mr. Zong coming, and felt confident..."

"I won't bother you to worry about the troubles among the people. You can reflect on yourself in prison. I will truthfully report the situation in Jiangning Mansion!"

Lu Yi's official title was removed and he was imprisoned.

Next, Zongze began to deploy troops to strictly control the entire city.

At this time, the Jiangning Chamber of Commerce was still discussing matters, and Chen Bangguang arrived.

"Prefect Chen, why are you here?"

"You come out with me. I'll talk to you alone if I have something to say."

The two found a place to sit alone.

"Something big has happened!" Chen Bangguang said with a solemn expression, "The imperial court has sent someone here!"

Liu Biao was stunned for a moment, and just as he was about to speak, a voice came from outside.

"Guanren! Liu Guanren!"

It was the voice of the Liu family's housekeeper.

"What's the matter?"

"Official Liu, something big has gone wrong, official Mr. Liu..."

"What's up with him?"

The housekeeper said in horror: "He was killed by the Qinhuai River!"

"What did you say!" Liu Biao was shocked on the spot.

Chen Bangguang immediately said: "It's Zhai Jin!"

"Who is Zhai Jin? Dare to kill my son?"

"Zhai Jin is the new manager!"

"Jing Lue Envoy?" Liu Biao took a deep breath.

The situation suddenly became completely beyond his imagination.

"Don't worry yet. By killing people like this in Jiangning City, the Minister has violated the laws of the imperial court. It will also cause the impeachment of other high-ranking officials, and the court will not tolerate it!"

Liu Biao shouted angrily: "He killed my son!"

"One son is nothing. You have plenty of money. Find a woman to have more! Now we have more important things to do!"

Liu Biao immediately calmed down: "What's the matter?"

"How many people does the Zhu Changgui you mentioned last time have?"

"He turned into a bandit in the Zhenjiang area and worked as a salt dealer. He also blocked roads and robbed people, and gathered a lot of people."

"How many people exactly?"

"He told me there were 10,000 people. There shouldn't be that many people, but at least there were seven or eight thousand!"

"Can there be more?"

Liu Biao's mind suddenly changed, and he said: "It should be possible. At this time, the imperial court's intention to increase taxes has spread in the countryside. As long as Zhu Changgui raises his arms, those people will definitely follow him!"

"Is it feasible?" Chen Bangguang asked, "Are those people so easy to deceive?"

"They know shit, they believe whatever we say!"

"Then you go out of the city immediately and go to Zhu Changgui and ask him to assemble a group of people. Then we will tell the people sent by the court that there are bandits outside the city. Those people go to suppress the bandits. You take the opportunity to kill them!"

When his son was killed, Liu Biao's heart burned with anger. He said, "Will the man named Zhai Jin go to suppress the thieves?"

“Will definitely go!”

"Okay! I'm going to cut him into pieces!"

When Chen Bangguang returned to the Transportation Department from Jiangning Chamber of Commerce, Zhai Jin entered the Transportation Department and was discussing matters with Zongze.

Chen Bangguang walked in and saw Zongze, Zhai Jin, and other officials from the Transportation Department, but Lu Yi was not seen.

Chen Bangguang said: "I will lower my official position to Chen Bangguang, the prefect of Jiangning, and see Mr. Zong."

"Are you the prefect of Jiangning?"

"That's right, your official!"

Zongze's eyes were cold and he said: "Here comes someone, arrest him and put him in jail!"

Chen Bangguang was startled: "Ms. Zong, this is..."

"There is chaos in Jiangning City. As the prefect, you have failed in your duties. Stop making excuses!"

"Xiangong Zong, I will lower my official rank..."

Before he could finish his words, the imperial guards had already taken off his official hat and dragged him down.

"Zongze! You have no right to remove me! Zongze! I am the prefect of Jiangning Prefecture..."

There was silence in the lobby, no one dared to speak.

Zongze glanced around and said: "Your Majesty sent me to Jiangdong, firstly to rectify the military and political affairs, and secondly to implement the New Deal. From now on, Jiangdong will fully implement the New Deal!"

Gao Bin, the judge of Duzhi, said: "Mr. Zong, now is a very good time. If we rush to implement the new policy, there may be something wrong!"

"What's wrong!" Zong Ze's voice sounded like a bell, "The New Deal is a policy that benefits the country and the people. The New Deal is the most popular among the people. It is precisely to use the New Deal to bring order to chaos!"

Others immediately said: "Mr. Zong, this matter needs to be discussed in the long term. The situation in Jiangning Mansion is extremely complicated..."

Zongze looked at these officials of the Transportation Department and knew in his heart that they probably all had countless fertile fields.

Zongze rejected all opinions and said: "There is no need to discuss it any more!"

On July 3, the third day after Zongze arrived in Jiangning, all the chaos in Jiangning City was suppressed.

Anyone who disobeys will be put to death.

There are several heads of those who took the lead in making trouble hanging at the gate of the city.

In order to ensure the people's livelihood in Jiangning, the official roads at the city gates are open to normal traffic, and the Qinhuai River is also open to normal traffic.

However, he learned about Liu Biao from Yang Bangyi, but when he went to arrest him, Liu Biao was nowhere to be found.

Liu Biao ran to Zhenjiang to find Zhu Changgui, planning to send people to surround Zongze and Zhai Jin.

But he didn't expect that on July 5th, another group of people from the imperial court had already gone south.

This group of people is Yue Fei's tribe who secretly fell from Fucheng.

And all of them are elite cavalry.

On the evening of July 5th, Yue Fei crossed the Yangtze River and arrived in the Zhenjiang area.

After dinner, Zhang Xian said: "Shuai Yue, this place is very close to Jiangning Mansion. We should be able to arrive the day after tomorrow. However, I just went to inquire about it and found that Zhenjiang Mansion is not peaceful. I heard that many people are making trouble!"
