When Zhang Huai arrived at Yanzhou Mansion, Gui E had already left, and he only saw two young men.
"My Majesty, Qi Xian, has just arrived as the general magistrate of Yanzhou Prefecture."
"I am Zhan Rong, who is patrolling Jinan and Yanzhou."
Before planning to build the Jingji Railway, Qi Xian was specially transferred to Daxing by Wang Yuan to serve as the county magistrate in charge of demolition and resettlement.
The county magistrate of Daxing is the sixth grade, and the general magistrate of Yanzhou is also the sixth grade, which is equivalent to being demoted. But as long as he assists Gui E in dealing with King Lu, Qi Xian can be promoted two levels in a row and serve as the magistrate of the government to preside over the reform work of Yanzhou.
.
Zhan Rong and Zang Xian were of the same year, and both were Jinshi in the 21st year of Zhengde.
In another time and space, Zhan Rong will go to Shanxi to manage reserves next year, only to encounter another mutiny in Datong. Governor Liu Qingyuan cannot calm down for half a year. Zhan Rong, who is in charge of food, instead plans to capture the leader of the mutiny, and is promoted to Guanglu
Temple Shaoqing, and later served as a civil servant in the border town for a long time to resist the Mongols.
This is a poem written by Ye Xianggao, the first minister of the Tianqi Dynasty, commemorating the 70th anniversary of Zhan Rong's death: "Sima Gao was famous in the Han Dynasty, and his begging body moved the dragon's face; the war has ceased, and the police are still in the clouds, and the swords and shoes are still leaving the palace to get off work. My heart is like this
Returning to the wild goose gate, the performance is like a chariot and a horse that restrain the swallows; when will the nine days of rain and dew fall, the cold pine trees and catalpas will be near Hanguan."
In Wang Yuan's hands, Zhan Rong has been doing a lot of work, and now he is sent to patrol Jinan and Yanzhou. After the work is completed, he is likely to be promoted to three levels in a row, and be sent to other places to serve as a prefect, and preside over the reform work of a state.
.
Dealing with vassal kings in various places can be said to kill two birds with one stone: first, reform the clan and reduce the financial burden; second, shock the local area and reduce resistance to reform; third, train the officials in the capital and let them do their best.
Zhang Huai slightly inquired about the origin, but he didn't take it seriously. He was a recent graduate of two psychology studies, and he had contacts with many seniors of psychology studies.
"I wonder where Gui Zhongcheng is now?" Zhang Huai asked.
Qi Xian replied: "Jinan Mansion."
Zhang Huai was surprised: "I just came from Jinan Prefecture, why didn't I meet Gui Zhongcheng?"
Zang Xian smiled and said: "Go incognito."
Zhang Huai was instantly dizzy. Gui E actually went to Jinan to conduct a private visit incognito. This was to completely disrupt Shandong!
Zhu Yourong, the King of De in Jinan, you can tell just by his name that he must be the grandpa of Zhu Zaiyi. This old guy has a bad reputation and is cunning and cunning. It is difficult to find enough crimes to punish him. Even Zhang Huai has received the work of King De.
silver.
How could Zhang Huai be a fool if he could pass the Jinshi examination, become Yang Shen's disciple, make friends with Xinxue disciples, and even get Wang Yangming's approval?
Zhang Huai deliberately dilly-dallyed because he wanted to use King Lu's case to delay the case so that King De could calmly handle the situation in Jinan.
Unexpectedly, Gui E ran away without saying a word and went to Jinan to investigate the case privately incognito.
It is very likely that Gui E had already made up his mind. He would punish the stupid King Qinglu with great fanfare, attract the attention of Shandong officials, and even lure the inspector Zhang Huai there. These are all suspicious soldiers, and the real target is King De, Zhang Huai
The tiger has been sent away from the mountain!
Zhan Rong smiled and said: "Zhang Yintai, please preside over the trial."
"Okay... okay, let's review the case." Zhang Huai's mind was extremely confused. He just wanted to quickly ask the two people in front of him to quietly send his confidants back to report the news to King De.
The Dewang clan is the biggest borer in Shandong!
Unfortunately, Zhang Huai couldn't leave at all, and was followed by Zang Xian and Zhan Rong from beginning to end.
The first thing they tried was the matter of King Lu secretly setting up a banknote checkpoint in the canal. Dozens of relevant people were arrested. There were all witnesses and evidence, and there were also account books. King Lu and his officials could only confess "honestly".
"This matter has nothing to do with the prince. We did it without telling the prince."
"Yes, the prince knows nothing."
Qin Xin and Zhang Rong had no choice but to take the blame, otherwise their family would suffer. If they took the blame, even if they were sentenced to death, King Lu would still be able to take care of their family.
Zhan Rong was good at strategizing and understanding people's hearts. He sat next to him and said, "It is a heinous crime to set up a banknote checkpoint privately. It would be better to exile the whole family."
Zang Xian immediately cooperated: "There will be plenty of money in the bank. The families of these two people have been arrested and put into prison for torture and interrogation. All the dirty money must be recovered. If the young people don't confess, the old people will not let it go either."
Even if she is a seventy-year-old mother, she should give her a slap in the face first!"
Qin Xin panicked and said: "Everyone is responsible for what he does, and it is not a serious crime of treason. How can the whole family be exiled? My mother is already sixty-eight and cannot withstand torture. Please show your support!"
Zhan Rong suddenly laughed and said: "You are only sixty-eight years old? That's easy to handle. According to the "Da Ming Law", as long as you are under seventy years old, you can serve any large person."
Zang Xian sang and said in harmony: "Chao Guan Dirty Silver, no matter what, a family must have fifty thousand taels of silver."
"How can 50,000 taels be enough? This is a canal bank checkpoint, and a family needs at least 300,000 taels," Zhan Rong said.
Zang Xian smiled and said: "Yes, if the family cannot recover the three hundred thousand taels, they will continue to be tortured. Even if the last person is killed, the dirty silver must be recovered, otherwise it will be a failure of the emperor's life!"
Zhan Rong turned to Zhang Huai and asked, "What is Senior Zhang's suggestion?"
Zhang Huai was busy thinking about how to send someone to report the news to King De. How could he care about the life and death of the two officials of King Lu? He immediately said: "Just do what you two want."
"Okay," Zhan Rong said to the investigators, "bring the two sons here and beat them starting with the eldest son, each with a hundred sticks."
Zhang Rong shouted: "Spare your life, people will die in a hundred battles!"
This is not just intimidation.
Qin Xin and Zhang Rong's sons, except those who were not in Yanzhou, were all taken to the scene of the trial and started beating them with sticks in front of the two of them.
Within ten seconds, the eldest son of the two men was all torn to pieces, crying and wailing like crazy.
From the looks of it, he really dared to drag people here and beat them to death one by one!
Zhang Rong cried and said: "Stop fighting, I will report to King Lu. The Chao Pass was set up privately by King Lu, and the person in charge of the Chao Pass was Wei Huaiyong, the official of the palace. Wei Huaiyong was away because of something that day, so you didn't catch him on the spot. He went back to his hometown to attend the funeral.
went!"
Zhan Rong immediately ordered: "Immediately arrest Wei Huaiyong, the official of Prince Lu's palace, and bring him to justice."
Since I no longer intend to take the blame, let me explain everything in one go.

Qin Xin said: "King Lu was cruel and absurd. He often made handsome men and beauties strip naked and feast and have fun together. When they were drunk, they would gather people to do illicit things. In the past few years, there were one man and six women who were unwilling to take off their clothes in public.
He was killed by King Lu himself with a big axe."
The confused Inspector Zhang Huai was also shocked by this incident: "How could King Lu be so cruel?"
Zhang Rong said: "In the past two years, King Lu has become more and more ridiculous, and actually forced the princess to... The princess couldn't bear the humiliation and committed suicide. King Lu claimed that she died of illness."
"boom!"
Without even thinking about how to report the news to King De, Zhang Huai was furious and said: "This is unreasonable, human ethics is completely ruined!"
Zhan Rong sighed: "He is worthy of being the great-grandson of King Lu Zhuang."
King Lu's great-grandfather, King Lu Zhuang, also took his princess to a banquet with outsiders. After being drunk, unspeakable things happened, and was reported by King Lu Zhuang's sister, Princess Qixia. Compared with his great-grandfather, his great-grandson was actually better than his great-grandfather. Not only did he gather the crowd to drink and have fun
Happy, and even took off all their clothes before drinking.
As a result of raising the clan like pigs, the vassal king had no way to rise, and even had his personal freedom restricted, and he had one hand to cover the sky within the palace. Such a deformed growth environment naturally gave birth to various abnormalities, amplifying the evil of human nature to no limit.
Piles of dirty things were reviewed and sent to the court for determination.
Wang Yuan directly suggested cutting down the vassal state because in just a few decades, two Lu kings had gone so far that there was no longer any need for the Lu kings to exist!
