At He Tao's house, a group of policemen were holding the door open and were knocking on the door.
He Tao was sitting on a chair in the living room, with regret written all over his face. His wife was so frightened that she was shaking like chaff, hugging her two sons and crying into a ball.
With a bang, he punched the wooden table, and He Tao cursed: "It's my fault that I'm blinded and blinded. This guy is a famous traitor in Bianliang, and I actually regard him as my savior."
"Officer, what should we do?"
The knocking on the door outside was getting louder and louder, and someone was scolding his former boss. Li Chongwen was informed about the street where He Tao led the imperial envoy today. The latter immediately became furious and sent people to arrest him.
.
There was a muffled sound, the door bolt broke, and dozens of police officers poured into the small courtyard.
"He Jiquan, you're still up so late, you're in a good mood, let's go, you know where to go, don't embarrass your brothers."
He Tao stood up, knowing that he would die this time and had no way out, but he didn't ask for mercy, straightened his clothes and left.
Two detectives came forward, using water, fire and sticks to fight him. They put shackles as big as half a man around his body, shackled his hands and feet, and led him away.
He Tao turned his neck with difficulty, looked back at his wife and daughter, and closed his eyes in despair.
When Lu Wang and Lu Yuhou led their people to find the He family, there was only a broken wooden door and whimpering sounds left in the dark courtyard.
"Where's He Tao?"
Lu Wang came forward with a torch and saw a woman holding two children, and asked in a deep voice.
Mrs. He just cried and was speechless. Although this group of people had been specially trained, they were from salt dealers, and they often killed people by licking blood with their swords. How could they have the patience to watch a woman cry bitterly.
"Woman, I asked you, where is He Tao? He was crying and crying and chopped off your cub with a knife."
He Tao's eldest son got out of his mother's arms, wiped his tears and said, "Daddy was captured by the officials."
Marquis Lu Yu frowned and said, "Fart, isn't your father just an official?"
Lu Wang saw it clearly during the day, and felt like a bright mirror in his heart. He smiled and pulled Lu Yuhou: "What can I do with the orphans and widowed mothers? We just go to the Yamen to ask for help."
The group of people went straight to the yamen gate. At this time, He Tao had been beaten to the point of being reduced to a human shape, hanging in a water cage, with whip marks all over his body.
Naturally, Li Chongwen was not in the mood to interrogate him in the middle of the night. In the eyes of Fu Yin, he was just a little shrimp, so he ordered his men to torture him to death.
Lu Wang and others came to the Yamen, grabbed a few men who were just about to go home, and punched them twice. They found out that He Tao was imprisoned, so they took two unlucky detectives to the prison to demand their release.
When they arrived at the door, the jailer saw that they were coming with bad intentions and refused to open the door.
Lu Wang drew his sword and chopped down the door. Several men who were hiding their luxury were really tough, and they broke through the door in just a few strokes.
Marquis Lu Yu untied He Tao. Lu Wang stepped forward and took off his coat, wrapped him up, and asked with a smile: "How are you? Are you dead?"
He Tao shook his head, and Marquis Lu Yu said: "It's okay if you're not dead. If you die, we won't be able to fulfill the order to lift you up, and all these men will have to suffer for you."
Lu Wang and others removed a door panel and carried He Tao to the restaurant.
In Li Chongwen's house, Li Fuyin was sleeping soundly after a tiring day. The sound of rapid footsteps came, and his concubine woke up first.
Shaking Li Chongwen's shoulders, he shouted: "Master, master, someone is coming."
Li Chongwen got up in a daze, with an unkind expression on his face: "Who is so bold as to disturb my rest?"
Outside the door was his confidant official, who said anxiously: "Sir, what's wrong, Yang Qin's men made a big fuss in the cell and snatched He Tao away."
Li Chongwen was so frightened that he lost all sleep. He fumbled for some clothes and shouted: "How can I say this? Didn't this guy take money?"——
You can move mountains to fill the sea, but you can never level the ravine.
When He Tao arrived at the restaurant, Yang Lin understood everything. He could only say that these people had lost their conscience.
This matter also starts with the diversion of the Yellow River.
At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the Yellow River and the Bian Canal broke out frequently, and the raging floods lasted for more than sixty years until the early Eastern Han Dynasty. During the Ming Dynasty of the Han Dynasty, Wang Jing and Wang Wu jointly presided over the comprehensive management of the Bian Canal and the Yellow River.
Activities. Wang Jing built more than a thousand miles of embankments on the Yellow River and straightened the channels of the Bian Canal, which calmed the Yellow River overflow disaster. Since then, the Yellow River overflow disaster has been significantly reduced, and it has not changed its course for 800 years.
The good times came to an abrupt end in the Northern Song Dynasty. During the Northern Song Dynasty, the Yellow River and its tributaries overflowed a total of 154 times, with an average of one major breach every two to four years.
The scholar-bureaucrats in the Northern Song Dynasty started a fierce debate over the direction of the Yellow River. Until the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, these turbaned officials did not come up with a good solution.
Hebei transshipment envoy Li Zhongchang proposed to block the Shanghu North River and restore the old Henglong Road. As a result, on the night when the Yellow River water was diverted into the old Henglong Road, the water flow could not be vented enough to burst again. Hebei was covered with ocean for thousands of miles, and countless people died and were injured.
Hundreds of thousands of people were killed, but this group of scholar-officials still didn't wake up. The scholar-officials who worried about the country and the people still had no hesitation in forcing the Yellow River to flow eastward. The result was that every time it flowed eastward, there was a big breach, causing Hebei, Shandong
The area is thousands of miles apart and the people are in dire straits.
The reason why this group of people were so stubborn was ridiculous to say the least. It was actually to divert the Yellow River to the north and prevent the Liao people from going south.
As the government office of Jingdong East Road, Jeju Government also has a task, which is to provide soil to strengthen the river bank.
Li Chongwen took the opportunity to join forces with the gentry and wealthy people in his mansion to designate a sand supply area, saying that the soil here was solid and suitable for building embankments.
This grandson has designated the area as a residential area in the city, where countless people's houses are located. If you want to keep your own house, you have to pay a large sum of money, otherwise, if you don't want to, your house will be ripped off and dug out for use.
Countless people in Jeju Prefecture have lost their money, are homeless, and are living on the streets.
Later, it became an open robbery. With Li Chongwen's acquiescence, tax collectors and government officials beat people, raped women, and robbed passing merchants. It was a lawless place.
He Tao said that in recent years, no fewer than a thousand good citizens have been killed in order to seize their homes.
Shandong has been a major rebel country since ancient times. Countless people have risen up and rebelled. This is also because this place is a Yellow River area, where natural and man-made disasters are constant, and these officials are too rampant, forcing the already martial Shandong Han to be intolerable.
After Yang Lin listened, he was speechless. After concentrating for a moment, he asked: "Where is Li Chongwen from? Do you know his backing?"
"Li Chongwen's younger brother Li Yan, who was born in Shiyeting, is now in charge of Houyuan and is the number one person in the Ministry of Internal Affairs under Liang Shicheng."
"If you're so damn vague, just tell me if he's from Liang Shicheng." Yang Lin wrinkled his face and asked.
He Tao whispered: "Yes."
He Tao knew very well who Liang Shicheng was. This imperial envoy was not good enough in front of others. So he did not dare to speak out for fear of scaring away this last life-saving straw.
Lu Wang whispered: "A strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. This matter is so difficult, it is better to get out of it as soon as possible."
Yang Lin rolled his eyes: "I'm afraid it's too late."
