Chapter 381 Yang Dozhi, can’t I see what their father and son want to do? (1st update)
Yang Douzhi stood aside and saw Gao Zhang opening the envelope and then examining the contents of the letter.
He wanted to speak several times, but he couldn't hold it back until he could. To be honest, the news really surprised him.
Therefore, he hesitated as to whether he should hand over that information to Gao Zhang, the No. 1 scholar.
What's more, there were Tong Zhisheng and Cai Laoliu in the governor's team. Their biological fathers, Cai Jing and Tong Guannai, were the backstage backers of the Zhu family and his son.
In the land of Suzhou and Hangzhou, is it known to everyone, and whether the local officials and the Zhu family are colluding with each other?
This made Yang Duzhi almost frightened Dongba. When he thought of Bianliang in Tokyo, even if Cai Jing and Tong Guanquan were in power, could they do something? They would have to come up with reasons and create evidence.
But the Zhu family and his son, who were running rampant in Suzhou and Hangzhou, had no scruples at all.
Seriously, I care about the things in my house, so the things in my house are not his, Lao Zhu’s.
I said no? Haha, if I robbed him and grabbed his Zhu family's legs, then who would dare to deny his old Zhu family's legs?
I dare to go to the official to sue, please go to the county magistrate in the east, and as far as the prefecture, who dares to take the case?
Maybe the victim annoyed the official, so he just threw the victim into the prison.
If I can calm down, then let me go home. If I can't calm down, then just stay inside.
All in all, we officials in Suzhou and Hangzhou cannot deal with the Zhu family and his son, who have a very strong backstage and have high official status.
Is it impossible to rectify our poor people?
Seeing these shocking and evil deeds, Yang Duzhi, the chief officer of the Imperial City Department, who was used to doing all kinds of ruthless things, was astonished.
There is even a kind of indignation and anger, even our family can't do such a thing, but our father and son actually did it?
I beg you again, those officials actually shielded and covered up the outrageous things we did.
Think about it, if we, the Imperial City Secretary, do something, the censors will be like chicken blood, and the impeachment memorial will fly towards the official censors like snowflakes.
#####
Gao Zhang's face turned dark when he saw this, and he knew that Zhu Meng and his son were known in history as one of the Six Thieves of the Northern Song Dynasty.
But I really didn't expect that they would do so many outrageous things in the Suzhou and Hangzhou area.
The reason why during the reign of Master Hunjun, Jiangnan, which was the richest place in the Song Dynasty, that there was a Fangla Uprising that destabilized the southeast, I have to say that it was Nacuo and his son who contributed so much.
Although it failed to fundamentally shake the rule of the Northern Song Dynasty, it seriously weakened the national power of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Just letting those things go is enough to prove that the wrong father and son deserve to die.
We, father and son, forced the people in the richest area south of the Yangtze River to rebel. In my opinion, what we did was not a conspiracy to overthrow the Song Dynasty regime.
Gao Zhang slowly collected the information and put it back in the envelope. He did not return it to Yang Douzhi, but instead asked Yang Douzhi.
"Yang Dou knows that our imperial city detectives have been able to collect so much information from the land of Suzhou and Hangzhou without spending too much time."
"Well, I believe that it is definitely not the whole story. I'm afraid there are more secrets there that we need to dig deeper into."
When I saw Gao Zhang, who was shorter than me, but with his bright eyes, I felt a heavy pressure like a mountain.
Yang knew that his forehead was already covered with cold sweat, but he had been thinking about him happily following the prodigy champion who was favored by the officials to the south of the Yangtze River.
At least you can use your merits to win the favor of the officials, but it turns out that the horse riding is like a fire pit, and it is not bottomless.
Refuse? Haha... When I thought about my godfather Yang Jian's numerous warnings before I left, I would never offend the prodigy champion who looked young but was actually gloomy and scheming.
Yang Douzhi braced himself and bowed respectfully to Gao Zhang.
"There is no reason for our family to disobey Duke Yuan's orders. Maybe Duke Zhuangyuan doesn't know that Prime Minister Cai and Tong Kuan are related to the Zhu family and his son."
"And... and even the officials are quite satisfied with what Zhu and his son are doing..."
Gao Zhang looked at Yang Douzhi, Yang Jian's godson, and nodded with no expression on his face, then turned his head and waved his legs not far away.
During the week, Fu'an, who had been holding the Shangfang Sword gifted by the emperor, jumped over. When he saw the young master's signal, he reluctantly held the Shangfang Sword between his legs.
Yang Douzhi watched with a confused expression as Gao Zhang lifted the Shangshu sword in his leg, then half unsheathed the sword, and looked towards him as if he had just thought of something.
"Well, so what?"
"..." Seeing the Shang Fang sword that Gao Zhang was playing with, and the cold light reflected from the half-sheathed sword, Yang Duzhi's heart suddenly stopped.
Yang Douzhi didn't hesitate, his legs went weak and he fell to the ground.
"Please tell me if Duke Zhuang Yuan has given me orders, my family dare not obey them."
When Gao Zhang saw the cowardly look on the fellow's face, he curled his lips in disgust, but his tone was still so gentle and showed no trace of murderous intent.
"Yang Dou knows that this must not be the case. I am not a foreign official, and I am not a foreign minister. We are not subordinate to each other. I worship him. That is not suitable..."
"His godfather has told us many times to follow the wishes of Duke Zhuangyuan in everything we do in the house, and we must never disobey him."
"Just now our family has no intention of disobeying the Number One Scholar, but we are afraid that the Number One Scholar will not know about it. I would like to ask for a reminder. Our family..."
"Okay, please get up quickly, Yang Douzhi, don't ask for this."
Gao Zhang stretched out his legs to hold Yang Douzhi's arm, and after letting him stand up, he let out a breath.
He looked distantly at Tong Zhisheng, who was shouting and killing, and looked very closely at Cai Laoliu, who was jumping around in the pavilion and cheering.
"Yang Douzhi."
"exist."
"After reading the information, I have a feeling that the Zhu family and his son are not just doing random things and harming the common people."
"..." Yang Douzhi waited for a long time, but couldn't wait for a moment, so he simply leaned closer and asked softly.
"I dare to ask Zhuangyuan Gong, do they, father and son, have other ideas?"
"If you had no other thoughts, why would you recruit troops in that wealthy land south of the Yangtze River?"
Gao Zhang turned his head and looked deeply at Yang Douzhi again.
"Could it be that with the eyesight of Yang Duzhi, the chief of the Imperial City Department, he can't see clearly what the father and son want to do?"
Those words immediately chilled Yang Douzhi's heart, and he stared at Gao Zhang blankly.
They all have the urge to squat on the ground, pull a handful of grass, and hold it in their hands to calm themselves down.
