Yanqing Prefecture is very close to the capital. It is actually a suburb of the capital. In later generations, it was changed into a district of the imperial capital. Of course, the capital of the Ming Dynasty has not yet developed to the huge scale of later generations.
In the Yamen of Yanqing Prefecture, Zhizhou Tang Yun was slowly drinking tea and reading newspapers. This place is close to the capital, and the newspapers he read every day were delivered by horse from the capital on the same day.
Today, Beizhili is developing very rapidly. Under the administration of Zhang Mingzheng, the chief envoy of Beizhili, all the prefectures and counties in Beizhili have been connected by cement roads, making transportation extremely convenient.
"In the campaign to eradicate gangsters and eliminate evil, will the flies and tigers be swatted together?"
After reading the beginning, Tang Yun immediately pondered slightly.
Recently, news came from the capital. During the campaign to eradicate gangsters and evil, the imperial court discovered that officials were acting as protective umbrellas behind the gangster forces in many places. This made him feel uneasy.
Tang Yun is still very clear about his own situation. He is from Changli County, which is close to Changli County, and he is a fifth-rank magistrate, so he is of great help to his Tang family.
In the past, the Tang family was just an inconspicuous small landowner family in Changli County. However, because of Tang Yun's existence, the Tang family also rose rapidly and became the famous Tang family in Changli County. Even the Tang family's business is now
They have all gone to the vassal state of Korea.
During this process, the Tang family has done many unjust things, and probably only the Tang family themselves know about it.
From the beginning of monopolizing the private salt trade in the coastal areas of Changli County, to the unscrupulous annexation of land, to now monopolizing Changli County's overseas fishery, dock industry, etc., behind this series are countless bloody crimes.
"Master, there is news from home~"
While Tang Yun was pondering, a servant hurriedly came over. This servant was a member of their Tang family, not a member of the government. He was mainly responsible for contacting Tang Yun and the Tang family.
"What's going on?"
Tang Yun had an ominous premonition.
"Sir, this is the letter just sent from home."
The servant handed a letter to Tang Yun.
Tang Yun took the letter and read it carefully. Soon he couldn't help but slam the table.
"Idiot~"
"I have long said that we can no longer be like before. We must restrain ourselves. We must restrain ourselves. We can no longer do those illegal and criminal things. With such a big family fortune, we can live a good life casually if we clean it up. This
You can easily earn a lot of money by doing sea trade."
"He's nice, but he dug a hole in me. How can I fix it?"
Tang Yun was extremely angry. It turned out that Tang Laohu had caused him trouble again at home.
Because Changli County is close to the sea, sea trade is now developed. There are many people going out to sea to fish and do business. Tang Laohu wants to monopolize all the docks in Changli County and do exclusive business.
But the Tang family is not the only one in Changli County. Others are also interested in this business, and they have also built docks and done related businesses.
On Tang Laohu's side, he got a group of local gangsters to go and smash up other people's docks. They just smashed them up and killed more than a dozen people in one fell swoop.
Now I am writing to Tang Yun, hoping that he can settle this matter.
"Now the imperial court is cracking down on gangsters and cracking down on gangsters and local evil forces. It is really stupid to cause such a thing at this juncture~"
"How could I have such a stupid brother~"
Tang Yun walked around angrily, cursing and thinking quickly.
Although Tang Laohu caused a big disaster, he had to find a way to remedy this matter, otherwise he would be in trouble once the news spread to the capital.
Now it is a special matter, and what is even more worrying is that Liu Jin has appeared in Changli County, and now he is the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
Can the troubles in Changli County be hidden from his eyes?
At that time, as long as someone goes to talk to Liu Jin, and Tang Laohu almost killed Liu Jin, he will be finished.
Once, he also tried to curry favor with Liu Jin, but he couldn't even enter Liu Jin's house.
"Idiot~Idiot~"
"I told him a long time ago not to offend scholars, at least not to offend the dead. If he hadn't almost killed Liu Jin and relied on his fellow villagers, I might have been promoted to the fourth grade prefect~"
Thinking of Liu Jin, Tang Yun couldn't help but curse again.
In the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, fellow villagers were extremely important relationships.
Liu Jin and he were both from Changli County. Liu Jin was the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and controlled the evaluation and promotion of officials all over the world. It stands to reason that he, a fellow countryman, had a great advantage. As long as he moved around each other, it would not be a problem to be promoted casually.
But because of this incident, he couldn't even enter Liu Jin's house. If he didn't hit him specifically, he was already very pregnant.
After thinking for a while, Tang Yun hurried back to his study, picked up a pen, ink, paper and inkstone and quickly wrote a letter to Zhou Peng, the magistrate of Yongping Prefecture. Zhou Peng and he were at the same time, and the two had always had a good relationship.
Zhou Peng helped suppress many things in the past. Of course, in return, the Tang family also gave Zhou Peng many gifts.
"...Brother Zhou, this matter should be turned into a minor matter as soon as possible. We must not let any rumors spread to the capital..."
Immediately send this letter to Zhou Peng, the magistrate of Yongping Prefecture, and go back and send a message to your family. Please stay calm recently and don't cause any more trouble, otherwise our Tang family will be doomed.
"Yes~"
The servant finished the letter and was about to go outside.
At this time, a group of Jin Yiwei wearing flying fish uniforms rushed in and surrounded the government office.
"Bold, this is the Yamen of Yanqing Prefecture. You broke in so casually, do you want to rebel?"
Seeing these royal guards, Tang Yun's heart tightened, and then he scolded them sternly.
"Master Tang, this is the document for the court's arrest of you. Please read it."
The leader of the Jin Yiwei Baihu took out a document and handed it to Tang Yun, and then sneered: "Your Tang family has done a lot of evil in Changli County, and you, the governor of the state, are also indispensable."
"Slander~slander~"
"This is absolutely slander. I, Tang Yun, am loyal to His Majesty. I am an official and a shepherd, and I do my best to fulfill my responsibilities. How can you slander an official of the imperial court like this?"
Tang Yun panicked and immediately started shouting.
"It's useless to tell me this. Do you know it yourself? If you need evidence, we will find it for you soon."
"Take it away~"
Jinyiwei Baihu sneered. There were too many officials like this. They all looked like loyal ministers, but each one was more corrupt than the last.
"It's unfair~ It's unfair~"
The Jin Yiwei took off his official uniform, took off his hat, and put on leg irons and handcuffs. Tang Yun collapsed to the ground. It was over, it was really over.
…
The county seat of Changli County, today's Changli County is developing extremely rapidly because it is close to the Beijing-Tianjin area, and all aspects are in line with the Beijing-Tianjin area.
Many houses in Changli County are also made of reinforced concrete. They are tall and beautiful. The streets are paved with cement and look very neat.
As the local leader of Changli County, the Tang family covers a very large area. One-fifth of the entire county belongs to the Tang family.
The gate of the Tang family was built very grandly, with the big lion at the gate, the horse-hitch posts, the parking spaces for carriages, etc., all built very grandly. At the same time, there were eight servants guarding the gate at all times.
In the past few years, the Tang family has really prospered, earning an incredible amount of money. If it weren't for the emergence of Liu Jin in Changli County, the Tang family would definitely be number one in Changli County.
"Tap tap~ tap tap~"
Accompanied by a burst of neat and unified steps, a Ming army of five hundred people quickly came to the Tang family and surrounded the entire Tang family.
Then without talking nonsense to the Tang family, he rushed directly into the Tang family and began to arrest the Tang family members.
"who are you?"
"You are actually good at our Tang family. Do you know the status of our Tang family in Changli County?"
Tang Laohu was sleeping soundly with his North Korean concubine in his arms, but the officers and soldiers snatched him out of the bed like a pig and put him in leg irons and handcuffs.
He was extremely unhappy, but also very scared, but he still spoke very domineeringly.
"We don't care what your Tang family's status is in Changli County~"
"We only know that your Tang family has been causing trouble in Changli County over the years and has done all kinds of evil. Especially you, the Tang Tiger, who eats people without spitting out their bones. Countless people have died at your hands."
"Your retribution has come~"
The leading officer looked at Tang Huhu, smiled and said.
"Bold, do you know that Tang Yun of our Tang family is the magistrate of Yanqing Prefecture. He can make you Qiu Ba die without a burial place with just one word."
Tang Laohu was in a very embarrassed state, but he still looked fierce and ferocious.
"Tang Yun, he probably can't protect himself~"
The officer smiled and replied, then his smile faded and he said very seriously: "This person blatantly slandered our soldiers, give me a hard beating~"
"Yes~"
When the officers and soldiers under his command heard this, they immediately took out a riding crop and beat Tang Laohu severely.
Those of them who are soldiers hate it most when someone calls them Qiu Ba. You must know that they are completely different from those military households in the past. The biggest difference is that they have an extremely strong sense of honor. They feel that being a soldier is glorious and they can serve for
The emperor is loyal, serves the country, and protects the people.
Some people actually say that they are Qiu Ba, which is absolutely intolerable.
"Ah~ah~"
Being whipped with a riding crop, Tang Laohu wailed in pain. He had always been the only one to bully others, but now that things were changing, the feeling of being whipped was not really unpleasant.
Such a huge change occurred in the Tang family, and soon the entire Changli County knew about it, and a large number of people gathered at the gate of the Tang family.
Of course, when everyone saw that Tang Laohu was dragged out like a dead pig, and that all the gangsters and thugs kept in the Tang family's captivity were also arrested, they couldn't help but cheer.
