As the sun rose and the sky turned white, outside the earthen fence of the Long family in the south of the city, a group of people came with great fanfare.
There are nearly a hundred people in this team, including 20 patrolmen from the Daomen Wujiyuan, more than 70 officers from the third class of the Yamen, and more than 70 archers, each armed with weapons, whistle sticks, iron rulers, iron chains, crossbows, etc., and they carry murderous intent.
Ling Ren. The team was led by Zhao Ran, the master of Wujiyuan Fangtang, and his old partner Jin Xianwei.
It wasn't until the team blocked the gate of the manor and everything was in place that the manor was surprised. An old housekeeper led several nursing staff and came out. They watched in confusion for a moment, and finally recognized Lieutenant Jinxian in the team and hurriedly stepped forward.
He opened his mouth and asked: "Master Jin, I wonder why you came to our village? My husband has just got up and will not have time to go out to greet you. I hope that Master Jin will show your kindness."
Jinxian Lieutenant snorted coldly, took out the document from his arms, showed it to the housekeeper, and said loudly: "Wujiyuan and Guyang County Yamen signed this jointly, and the Long family's residence, relatives, servants, superiors, etc. will be searched immediately.
No one can escape!"
The housekeeper was shocked and said: "Where do you start talking about this? What kind of royal laws have been committed by our Long family? Lord Jin should explain it clearly first!"
Jinxian Lieutenant said disdainfully: "Want to know what kind of royal law you have committed? I will tell you everything when I go to court!" He shouted behind him: "Come to the village to get someone!"
The third team of government officials burst out with a loud promise and immediately rushed into the manor. Some of them took action, tied up the housekeeper and several nursing staff with ropes, and threw them directly against the wall.
Jin County Lieutenant smiled at Zhao Ran and said: "Zhao Fangzhu, please!"
Zhao Ran raised his hand and said politely: "Jinxian Lieutenant, please go first."
The two of them got off their horses side by side, walked into the Longjiazhuang, went straight to the main hall of the flower hall, and took their seats in the upper room. They heard the manor gradually becoming noisy. There were shouts and curses, banging on the door, crying, and angry sounds.
Mixed with the crowing of cocks and the barking of dogs, it was a loud noise.
Unlike Zongjiazhuang, Longjiazhuang did not have the courage to fight against the Taoist temple and the government, and no one dared to escape. Within a moment, dozens of Long family relatives and servants were tied up outside the main hall, waiting for orders.
One of the leaders of the Long clan kept shouting: "I want to see Captain Jinxian! I want to argue with Captain Jinxian! Where is Lord Kongxian? I want to see Lord Kongxian!"
Zhao Ran and Jin County Lieutenant were not in a hurry. They were carrying the tea that Guan Er and Lu Jin had just made, drinking it slowly and in small sips, and discussing the price of rice in Guyang County from time to time.
"Zhao Fangzhu has done a good job. A large amount of grain has been imported these days. I heard that more grain will be shipped into Guyang today. The price of rice in the county has finally stopped rising. No one is interested in the grain stores. I think those big households must support it.
It won’t be long.”
"Everything depends on the presiding of Zhang Jianyuan of Xizhenwu Palace. It's just a coincidence for me to meet."
"Zhang Jianyuan is truly compassionate. This is the blessing of our Long'an Mansion."
"That's right. Not only Zhang Supervisor, but also Li Supervisor of Xuanyuan Temple also played a big role in it. That's why so much rice grain was transferred to Guyang."
While drinking tea, Zhao Ran disclosed inside information to Jinxianwei to strengthen Jinxianwei's determination. Jinxianwei was really shocked. He said in surprise: "Even Li Supervisor... Li Supervisor of Xuanyuan Guan
?”
"Exactly."
"Li Yunhe?"
Zhao Ran burst out laughing: "Which Li Supervisor is there in Xuanyuan Temple?"
Lieutenant Jin Xian sighed and looked at Zhao Ran with a different look.
During the chat, one of Jinxian Lieutenant's confidants came forward to whisper and handed over a slip of paper. Jinxian Lieutenant looked at it, smiled and said to Zhao Ran: "Zhao Fangzhu, I didn't expect that the Long family has plundered so many people's treasures in these years.
"With that said, he handed the order to Zhao Ran.
Zhao Ran smiled and waved his hand: "Jin County Lieutenant just decides."
Jin County Lieutenant nodded. He lit the order with a flame and said, "Then it's still the old rule, one person takes half."
"Didn't we agree that you would be seven and I would be three?"
"How did this happen? Jin was just joking that day. Master Zhao, please don't take it seriously."
"Pindao never jokes, and he never takes back what he has said. Seventy-percent is a lieutenant in Jin County, and thirty-percent is a pity. That's it!"
"Uh... Then why are you so embarrassed... Okay, thank you so much, Lord Zhao."
After the third team of government officials had checked and sealed all the rooms in Long's Manor, the errand was completed. Zhao Ran and Jinxian Lieutenant got up and prepared to leave. When they left the hall, they happened to see Long tied up outside the hall.
Among the clan members and servants, the leader among them broke away a few steps and rushed in front of Zhao Ran and Jinxian Lieutenant. He was immediately punched several times by the servant Fatty and pinned to the ground.
Zhao Ran stopped and took a few glances, and saw that this man was in his thirties. Although he looked miserable, his face was extremely handsome. Zhao Ran couldn't help but admire him. Looking at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, he showed a proud demeanor.
, but also possesses an aura of elegance and elegance, just like the halo of a male protagonist covering his forehead.
Jin Xianwei introduced: "This is the current leader of the Long family."
The man struggled hard, raised his eyes and said angrily: "Master Jin, what king's law did I, the Long family, break and why I suffered this disaster for no apparent reason? I must give an explanation today!"
Zhao Ran looked down at the head of the Long family who was being held down at his feet, and asked, "Are you Long Aotian?" After saying this name, he couldn't help but tremble all over.
Long Aotian raised his head and said coldly: "Yes, it's Long! Is the Taoist Master Zhao Fangzhu? Long has offended the Taoist, so the Taoist just goes to Long. If anything happens, Long will take care of it alone. Why?
Implicate the Long clan? The Taoist priest is using his power for personal gain, and Long is not convinced!"
Zhao Ranqi said: "You said that a poor man uses power for personal gain? Where do you start with this?"
Long Aotian sneered and said: "For the sake of the ten thousand acres of land west of Jundu Mountain, the Taoist priest did not hesitate to interfere in the money affairs of young people, disrupt the court's laws, and shake the foundation of our gentry. As a Taoist deacon, he does not care about his reputation and only wants to make money.
What is this but using power for personal gain? I, the Long family, are pure and clean, and I have set an example to Guyang County. You came here to inspect for no reason today. Ask yourself, do you have no shame at all?"
Zhao Ran was so angry: "I always thought that people named Long Aotian had a cold and arrogant temper. I didn't want to meet a sharp-tongued person like you, talking here and there just for the sake of talking. It really subverts the three views.
…”
Long Aotian: "..."
Zhao Ran said to a squad leader next to Jinxian Lieutenant: "Didn't he ask which king's law he violated? Tell him!"
The leader of the squad recited the black materials about the Long family collected by Jinxian Lieutenant one by one. Zhao Ran and Jinxian Lieutenant Shi Shiran walked out of Long's Manor as the charges were read out.
The news that the Long family in the south of the city was raided spread throughout the county. This move to kill chickens and monkeys was so cruel that all the wealthy gentry in Guyang County were shocked. The Zhang family, the Jiao family, the Zhou family, and the Quan family
After more than a dozen big players were rushing around, exchanging news, they nervously began to discuss countermeasures.
Just as the wealthy gentry were coming and going, a large number of convoys transporting rice grains appeared at the foot of Wuji Mountain. Countless grain bags were loaded into the granaries of Jinji Rice Shop, piling up several newly built granaries to the point where there was almost no room to stand.
Jinji Rice Shop immediately lowered the price of rice to thirty cents per bucket. People rushed to tell each other and bought large quantities in front of Jinji Rice Shop.
The big family members headed by the Zhang family contacted urgently and made an appointment to gather at the Zhang family's manor. That night, more than a dozen wealthy gentry and wealthy families came to the Zhang family's manor. Under the auspices of the Zhang family's head, they began to discuss countermeasures.
He made all kinds of unreliable suggestions. Some said that he would go to the Chief Envoy to sue Long Aotian for having his house confiscated for no reason, some said that he would contact the backers of the DPRK and China to impeach Kong Xianzun, and some said that he would recruit land rogues to attack the money.
Those who recorded Mipu also said that they would hire assassins to carry out the assassination. There was a long list of names on the assassination list, from Zhang Yunzhao and Jing Zhimo to Song Zhiyuan, Kong County Magistrate, Zhao Ran, Jin County Lieutenant and so on.
People, even Guan Er are ranked among them.
All the gentry discussed and discussed until midnight, but they could not come up with a sound solution. The head of the Zhang family was so confused by the noise that he went back to his room to rest for more than an hour. When he came out again, he saw that everyone was still arguing, and he couldn't help but
Angry.
It was already dawn, and the head of the Zhang family ordered his servants to bring breakfast and let everyone continue to discuss. He had made up his mind that he would not give up until Chou Yin Mao came.
While all the gentry were enjoying breakfast, someone suddenly asked: "Hey, why don't you see the Luo Xiang eunuch?"
The head of the Zhang family saw that there was really no Luo Xiang eunuch among the people present. This time was the most sensitive, so Luo Xiang eunuch did not come to attend the meeting, which immediately aroused some suspicion and the atmosphere in the hall immediately became cold.
The head of the Zhang family quickly called the housekeeper and asked him to go to Wutang in person and make sure to invite the officials from Luo Township to reassure people. The housekeeper had only been out for half an hour when he ran back panting and said urgently: "
Master, something serious has happened."
The head of the Zhang family felt his heart skip a beat and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong?"
The housekeeper said with a mournful face: "The Luo family's grain store in the county town has opened, and the price of rice is thirty cents per dou!"
As soon as the words fell to the ground, there was a sudden silence in the hall. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
