The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 606
The official position of the Industrial and Commercial Fucheng is not very big, and the power is limited to the open source of business.

To put it simply, the government of industry and commerce headed by Zhen Yan and Mi Zhu is only responsible for making money, and has no power to control it at all.Although Zhen Yan is one of the twelve Xuzhou employees, her status in Tan County is not high, and she is almost at the bottom among the core members.

Even so, those who know the inside story still dare not despise him, because...he has three brothers-in-law.

The county magistrate of Tan County was not a fool. After learning that this might be a conspiracy against the Zhen family, he broke out in a cold sweat on the spot and said in his heart that he couldn't be offended.

Just kidding, if it really involves the political struggles of the top figures, if I rashly get involved, I am afraid that I will be swallowed up to the point where there is not even a scum left!

So he immediately reported it to the Ministry of Punishment of the Inner Government, and successfully handed over the ball.

After the inner government received the news, Jushou, who is the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, did not say anything. On the contrary, Shang Shutian of the Ministry of Accounting jumped up immediately, not even caring about the government affairs in his hands, and immediately dragged Jushou to the scene.

After arriving at the scene, Tian Feng looked at the shop that was burned to ashes by a fire, his face was gloomy like water, and his eyes showed a fierce look of wanting to choose and devour.

The case must have been done by those aristocratic families!
How dare they set fire to commit crimes in Tan County, these people are really lawless!
Jushou has been dealing with prison affairs these days, but he doesn't know much about the new paper. Seeing Tian Feng was so angry, when he just wanted to come over to ask what happened, Tian Feng waved his sleeves and left angrily.

Inner House.

After Tian Feng came back, he was furious. He slapped the table violently with his fleshy palms and didn't think it hurt. He bluntly asked Xun Yu to deal with those family members.

Facing Tian Feng's anger, Xun Yu could only smile wryly, showing shame.

Xun Chen at the side said in a low voice: "Brother, didn't you say that you were prepared, why did you..."

Xun Yu frowned, and said bitterly: "I thought those people would attack the paper mills outside the city, so I deployed heavy guards, but who would have thought that they would attack the shops that sell new paper. This time it was a certain Mistake..."

In fact, Xun Yu was not to blame for this matter. After all, the shop only sells paper and is not responsible for production.As long as the paper mills outside the city are still there, no matter how many shops are burned, it will be useless.

But those people still did this, and more than ten lives were caused. This made Xun Yu puzzled, but at the same time he was a little angry.

Once a person is dead, the nature is completely different.

They dared to kill the fellows of the Zhen family today, but they might not dare to kill them, officials of the inner government tomorrow!

If things go on like this, everyone in the entire Tan County will be in danger.

This is something Xun Yu cannot allow.

"Here's an order to order the county magistrate of Tan County to cooperate with the Ministry of Criminal Justice to thoroughly investigate this matter, vowing to find out the culprit!"

Tian Feng growled and said: "There is nothing to investigate here. It is clear that the gang of aristocratic families did not see the new paper benefiting the world, so they did such outrageous things. They should be arrested immediately!"

Xun Chen quickly persuaded: "Yuan Hao, don't be impulsive. We have no evidence for this matter. We need to conduct a thorough investigation before we can reach a conclusion."

"Arrested and tortured, I don't believe they don't recognize me!" Tian Feng growled, "I don't care, the new paper matter is related to the income of the household department for several years or even decades, and there must be no mistakes. Since you don’t want to arrest people, you must give someone an explanation!”

After all, Tian Feng walked away, leaving the Xun brothers standing there with embarrassing expressions.

But Tian Feng has always been used to it, and even Liu Bei dared to be tough, so the Xun brothers would not be angry because of it.

After a while, Xun Chen said: "Brother, I still want to come up with a charter, and I can't let those people do anything wrong. In addition, the Zhen family has to be appeased, otherwise it will be chilling."

Although the Ministry of Criminal Justice was ordered to investigate the matter, both brothers knew it well.Since those people dared to do it, they probably couldn't find any results.

Although the new paper is the business of the Zhen family, most of the profits are handed over to the state government. Now that the Zhen family's buddy has been killed, it is impossible not to give an explanation.

Xun Chen's idea was correct, but Xun Yu shook his head and said: "After all, the Zhen family is open source for the state capital, so it is natural to appease you. You can go there later. What I am worried about now is another matter. ..."

"What's the matter?"

"Since the enemy has made a move, it is absolutely impossible to just burn a few shops. It is likely to be aimed at the control of Xinzhi." The matter of paper, now it seems that it is an introduction."

"Brother, what do you mean, those people will continue to attack?"

Xun Yu nodded and said, "That's right, the paper mills outside the city are still there, and the few less shops will do them no good other than disgusting us. As expected, the real trick is yet to come."

Xun Chen said with a worried expression: "It's just that the enemy is out in the dark right now, and we don't know what those people will do next, so we are a little passive."

Xun Yu sighed and said, "After such a big thing happened, there is still no movement from Zichu's side, which means that the time has not come, and we can only come to block it with soldiers, and cover it with water and earth."

"So appeasement and nurturing, I really don't know what Lin Zichu is thinking."

Xun Chen frowned, seemingly dissatisfied with Lin Chao's strategy.

……

At the same time, Zhen Yan, the victim of this case, came to the Lin Mansion early this morning after learning the news that the shop was burned and the clerk was killed last night.

He didn't go to the inner government to seek justice, because he believed that the inner government would investigate the matter thoroughly.

But at the same time, he also smelled the danger and conspiracy contained in it, so he immediately thought of the thickest thigh, brother-in-law Lin Chao.

No matter what, let's hug first and then talk.

After listening to Zhen Yan's narration, Lin Chao smiled and handed Zhen Yan a cup of hot tea at the same time.

"Why, brother, are you afraid?"

When Lin Chao spoke, he still had a smile on his face, but it was very cold.

More than a dozen lives were lost just like that...

Wang Yun, you should die!

Zhen Yan smiled wryly and said: "Brother, don't be joking. Although my younger brother is not afraid, but in the long run, the new paper business will not be able to continue. If those people jump over the wall in a hurry and attack the paper mill outside the city, how should my younger brother respond?"

It's not that Zhen Yan doesn't understand the principle of seeking wealth and wealth.

But one of the most basic logics is that if I do things for you, I don't need to ask for money or profit, but you must ensure my safety!
The battle between the inner palace and the aristocratic family, these two behemoths, is definitely not something that my small body can participate in.

Those people can burn my shop today, maybe they can break into my house and kill people tomorrow!
To the worried Zhen Yan, Lin Chao waved his sleeves and said with a smile: "There's no need to deal with it, let them make trouble, they're just a bunch of clowns. If they target you, then you just lie flat."

Hearing this, Zhen Yan was taken aback for a moment, then cupped her hands and asked, "Dare to ask brother, what do you mean by... lying flat?"

Lin Chao smiled: "It's fine to give them what they want. In this way, they will have no reason to deal with you."

"This……"

Looking at Lin Changshi, who drinks tea freely and looks like a sage who is invincible in the world, Zhen Yan always feels that there is something wrong with Lin's elder brother's style of painting today.

When did Lin Zichu, who had no widows in the world, become a good gentleman?
Probably seeing Zhen Yan's doubts, Lin Chao smiled and said, "My dear brother, let me ask you, when did the snow fall in Tan County in previous years?"

Although Zhen Yan didn't understand the intention of Lin Chao's question, she immediately cupped her hands and said, "Probably in the middle of winter."

"Then what day is it?"

"The third day of the winter month."

"now it's right."

Lin Chao stood up, but turned around the next moment. While facing Zhen Yan with his back turned, he looked into the distance and said slowly, "The world is not peaceful this year. A great war has been fought for half a year. Although we won, But in the end, it was just a miserable victory. At this moment, in the land of Jizhou and Yanzhou, the people who suffered from the war have long been displaced and have no food or clothing. How can they survive this severe winter?
In the past, the people of Yanzhou and Jizhou were not under my jurisdiction in Xuzhou, so naturally there is no need to think too much about it.But now that we have taken over the land, we have to consider the life and death of the people.

At such an urgent time, there is no food in the treasury of Xuzhou to help the people.But if it is left alone, when the snow falls, there will be countless people who died of freezing and starvation, and it will be easier for bandits to breed and harass the states and counties.

As a last resort, a certain person reached an agreement with those people, just in exchange for money and food, to help the people of the three prefectures.Now that the food team of Zhouji people has been out for more than a month, it should have arrived in various states and counties and started to appease the people's livelihood.And when the snow falls, it should have some effect.

As for those people who are greedy and greedy, let them mess around, anyway, there will always be a liquidation afterwards, and at that time, I will definitely give you justice.

Before the people are properly resettled, everything should be safe.I don't want to use thunderous means, and I won't allow others to use weapons rashly, lest people's hearts will be shaken, brother, do you understand? "

Hearing this, Zhen Yan immediately followed suit and stood up, cupped her hands and said, "Thank you brother for clarifying the confusion, I understand now!"

Lin Chao turned around and said with a smile: "It's good to understand, but a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. The burning of your Zhen's shop this time should be just the beginning, and there will inevitably be no other plans in the future. You will All the family members in the mansion will be sent to a certain mansion to stay temporarily for a period of time, so that they can also be protected from evil hands."

When Zhen Yan came to the door today, besides asking Lin Chao to uphold justice, the biggest purpose was to protect herself.Seeing Lin Chaoken protecting his family now, he immediately showed ecstasy.

"Thank you brother!"

"You don't need to thank you, you are loyal to the state government, and the state government will naturally not put you in a dangerous situation." Lin Chao waved his hand and smiled, "Besides, some time later, someone will write a transfer order, and you will take it to the Military Aircraft Mansion. A hundred elites are by your side to protect your safety."

Although Lin Chao intends to hold back for the time being, he must protect Mrs. Zhen both in public and in private.

For one thing, the matter of the new paper was at his behest, and if he couldn't even keep the people who did it, no one would be willing to work for him in the future.

Secondly, the Zhen family is, after all, the natal family of the three daughters Zhen Jiang, Zhen Tuo and Zhen Dao.If something really happened, Zhao Yun and Lin Xi might not continue to tolerate those people.

A moment later, when Zhen Yan came out of Lin's mansion with the transfer order, the worry on his face was gone, and he felt confident.

As for the inner government, after all, it is related to the Zhen family, and it is the case Xun Yu named to investigate, so in the next two or three days, Ju Shou, the minister of the Ministry of punishment, will personally follow up and investigate.

It is a pity that the criminal investigation conditions in this era are limited, and whoever did it has never been found out.

For this result, in fact, everyone has already known it well.

But four or five days later, something shocking happened again.

Because... the murderer jumped out by himself!
Four to five hundred scholars dressed as scholars, all of them armed with sharp knives, surrounded Zhen's mansion tightly.

They clamored at the gate for Zhen Yan to come out to give an explanation, and claimed that they were the ones who did the burning of Zhen's shop a few days ago. Their faces were full of arrogance and fearlessness.

For a moment, the whole city was shocked!
The literacy rate in this era is extremely low, and there are four to five hundred scholars, which is no less than the tens or even hundreds of thousands of student groups in later generations.

With so many people blocking the gate, Zhen Yan was terrified, so naturally she didn't dare to come out.

But these scholars would not let it go, threatened that Zhen Yan would not come out again, so they rushed in to drag him out, vowing to ask for an explanation.

So Zhen Yan panicked even more. He couldn't offend those aristocratic families, and naturally he couldn't offend so many scholars. At the same time, he was grateful that Lin Chao had the foresight to send his family to Lin's mansion early in the morning.

Otherwise, if these people really rushed into the mansion, their wives, children and children would definitely suffer.

But it's not a solution to waste time in this way, and scholars outside may break into the door at any time.

Zhen Yan thought about it, and finally walked out of the mansion under the protection of [-] elites.

Seeing Zhen Yan's appearance, a group of scholars rushed forward. If they were not afraid of the shining knives and guns in the hands of the three hundred elites, they would have rushed to smash Zhen Yan to pieces.

"What do you want to do!"

Seeing the chaos in the scene, Zhen Yan immediately bravely shouted.

"In broad daylight, you dare to surround the mansion of the imperial court. In your eyes, is there any law for the king!"

Zhen Yan's scolding used up all her strength, but was soon drowned out by the voices of all the scholars.

And the reason why these people besieged the Zhen's mansion, although it seems strange, but in the end there is only one reason.

Some people shouted that Zhen Yan was unfair and refused to sell them new paper.

Some people clamored not only to burn Zhen's shop, but also to burn Zhen Yan to death, to see if he dared to do so.

Some people also shouted that Zhen Yan's business was unfair. He queued up for several days before and couldn't buy a new piece of paper.But those ordinary people who don't know a single character can buy a lot.

What a joke, what right do common people have to own new paper, they should all be sold to us.

Originally, each person was limited to purchase [-] sheets, just to prevent malicious hoarding and to make sure that everyone could buy new paper as much as possible.

But now, it has become an excuse for them to attack Zhen Yan.

They thought that the law does not blame the public, so they became more and more unscrupulous.As for the reason for yelling to punish Zhen Yan, it naturally became a crime of desire.

Now Zhen Yan really panicked, shouting and arguing with everyone, trying to refute their strong words.

But how could the crowd listen to him, they all clamored to kill Zhen Yan, and give justice to themselves and others.

As the voices of these people became louder and louder, the scene became uncontrollable for a time, and conflicts may break out at any time.

In the dark alley not far away, Wang Ling and Sima Lang stood side by side, enjoying the show with a smile on their faces.
