As a former member of the martial arts world, Wei Ziyun was still very concerned about Feng Zhou's words.
After all, Wen Wu is the first, Wu Wu is the second!
Now, this mere fourth-rank court official said that the four brothers were not enemies of Fengzhou with one move. This was simply a big joke!
Ye Gucheng is a master of the first generation, and it is normal for his martial arts to surpass Wei Ziyun, but if the four of his brothers join forces, they may not be able to kill him!
No matter how powerful Feng Zhou is, can you kill Ye Gucheng in one move?
Then aren't you a peerless master among peerless masters?
This breath is so loud! I’m not afraid of the strong wind flashing my tongue!
Therefore, Wei Ziyun really wanted to test Feng Zhou's martial arts, so after he spoke, his figure immediately rose into the sky, like an eagle, and instantly flew in front of Feng Zhou, and struck him with a sharp palm.
Feng Zhou had a smile on his lips and remained motionless! It wasn't until Wei Ziyun came in front of him that he relaxed his arms and grabbed Wei Ziyun's wrist. He didn't even understand and flicked it lightly. Wei Ziyun didn't even have time to react and was directly hit by a huge force.
It flew out in the air.
"General Manager Wei is very skilled and can be regarded as a top-notch master in the world, but although his fists and feet are strong, they are not as good as your swordsmanship after all!" Feng Zhou said calmly.
"How can you use weapons in front of His Majesty?"
Wei Ziyun said.
Feng Zhou nodded and said with a smile: "Calm-headed, loyal and prudent, he is worthy of being the number one master in the field. Please take a punch from me!"
After saying that, Feng Zhou separated his legs and punched in a tiger crouch. His body instantly moved forward a few steps and punched Wei Ziyun!
With a bang, the guard clothes on Wei Ziyun exploded in an instant, revealing the satin lining underneath. His body was like a kite with a broken string. He flew out of the palace door with a look of surprise and fell directly on the white marble steps not far away!
Inside the main hall, it suddenly became quiet!
Both Zhu Qizhen and the courtiers present had their mouths wide open, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
Wei Ziyun is a great master, and he is well-known both in the arena and in the government and the public.
Even if there are all the imperial guards in the entire capital, the guards of various wealthy families are among the best.
That Wu Xi from Shi Heng's mansion is not even worthy of carrying his shoes!
Now, he was defeated miserably by Feng Zhou without even launching a single move.
Just how strong is Feng Zhou's martial arts?
"Thank you, Prime Minister Feng Fu, for showing mercy!"
Just when there was deathly silence in the palace, the imperial guard Wei Ziyun got up without any incident, cupped his fists and saluted Feng Zhou, and at the same time respectfully said to Zhu Qizhen: "Your Majesty, please allow me to change my clothes!"
Zhu Qizhen waved his hand, a pair of dragon eyes kept looking at Feng Zhou, and a thought flashed in his mind: "With Feng Zhou's skills, if he serves in the army, wouldn't I be able to control him and fight in person?"
But this thought only passed by for a moment.
Even if Zhu Qizhen is the emperor, there are certain things that he must never say out loud.
Since the Song Dynasty, most people who studied the sages and sages wanted to take part in the imperial examinations and get the top spot in high school in order to achieve great ambitions. Unless absolutely necessary, not many people would join the army!
"What a great effort! I didn't expect you, Feng Zhou, to be both civil and military. I've got such a talent!" Zhu Qizhen stood up, stood with his hands behind his back, and said calmly.
"Your Majesty is so flattering that I dare not accept it!" Feng Zhou said, cupping his hands.
But there seemed to be no hesitation in his tone.
"Feng Aiqing, did you just say that 70,000 taels of gambling money were confiscated?" Zhu Qizhen asked.
"Your Majesty, I am here in a hurry, but I can roughly estimate that in addition to gambling money, the wealth taken from those three families is as much as three hundred thousand taels of silver alone!"
Feng Zhou spoke calmly, raised his hands and saluted: "Your Majesty, please send officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs to deal with the confiscated silver!"
"What, there are so many?"
Not to mention Zhu Qizhen, all the courtiers present were shocked. They all opened their mouths and were speechless for a long time. Three hundred thousand taels, this is too much!
What do the real people behind the scenes want to do with so much money?
"Nianfu!"
Zhu Qizhen's face was uncertain, and he immediately named the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
"I'm here!"
Nianfu looked solemn and stepped out to answer the call.
"Immediately send out officials from the household department to cooperate with the government officials and soldiers of Shuntian Prefecture to transfer all the collected money into the national treasury!" At the end of the sentence, Zhu Qizhen even had the urge to grit his teeth.
He just wanted to sit on the throne in peace and contentment, but why was the water in the capital so deep?
But who is behind these people? They are all big rats and big moths!
And he is a lawless rat borer!
Some people’s hands are stretched too long!
Fortunately, I have a capable minister like Feng Zhou!
This Feng Zhou is truly a talent!
"Feng Zhou, do your job well. No matter who comes to stop you, don't worry. I will make the decision for you!"
Taking a deep breath, Zhu Qizhen barely suppressed the anger in his heart. He waved his hand to Wang An and asked Wang An to take a look. He said coldly: "This is Shang Fang's sword. Holding the sword in your hand is like my presence. If you are dissatisfied, you can kill him on the spot."
!”
After saying that, he waved his hand and asked Wang An to hand it to Feng Zhou. His eyes were stern and cold, and he said: "I only have one request. Find out all the monsters, ghosts, and snakes in Kyoto!"
"As you command!"
Ignoring the shocked and even frightened looks of all the courtiers present, Feng Zhou bowed and took the brocade box containing Shang Fang's sword, feeling clear in his heart.
Look how scared you are, where are you?
I remember when I was in the world of Red Mansions, the salt merchants and the Songjiang Prefecture were all treated obediently by me.
You guys are so rare!
…
Holding Shang Fang's sword in hand, Feng Zhou acted even more unscrupulously!
In the afternoon of that day, he led his government officials and soldiers to raid the underground gambling houses in East City and West City.
It's just a pity that the news was obviously leaked and when he left, the harvest was not very big. Both Li Yanbei and Du Tongxuan transferred their property in time, so that the money collected was just over ten thousand. As for the banknotes and loan shark IOUs,
, not even a shadow was seen.
But Feng Zhou has seen this kind of scene too many times, and he has a way to deal with it when he is hungry!
They simply worked hard to draw out the salary from the bottom of the cauldron, and ordered their government officials to beat gongs and drums to make a big announcement, informing the people around the underground gambling houses that anyone who owed usurious loans from the gambling houses should report it to the Shuntian government office within ten days, and the government would charge them
Make the decision to write off the debt in one fell swoop.
This idea was really cruel, and no one believed it at first, thinking it was just a bluff by the Yamen to gain fame. It was not until the third day that several ordinary people almost died because they were forced to pay debts, so they finally adopted the mentality of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor.
Find Shuntianfu Yamen.
The result was a surprise to everyone. The Prime Minister of Shuntian Prefecture went to great lengths to personally bring these victims who owed a large amount of loan sharks with a group of knife-wielding government servants to come to the door aggressively and force the boss behind the underground gambling house.
Sign the agreement to waive the debts of those victims.
At this time, the whole capital was in a state of shock. Every day, there was an endless stream of people coming and going from the Shuntian government office. Almost all of them were people who wanted to ask the government office to help them get rid of loan shark debts.
Feng Zhou accepted them all, and at a fixed time every day, people with large amounts of money and loan sharks would block the door and ask the bosses behind the underground gambling rooms to waive the money.
Whenever there is someone who is unwilling or wants to play tricks based on his background, Feng Zhou will hold out Shang Fang's sword without saying a word, and will use it whenever anyone asks for mercy, forcing him to sign a bill to exempt many people from loan sharking, although it is inevitable that there will be some bastards fishing in troubled waters.
But the bosses behind the scenes are by no means innocent.
Within a few days, this almost became a scene in the capital!
Whenever Feng Zhou led his men to walk on the street, countless people followed behind, eagerly awaiting him.
