Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 885
The Xiao family and the Shen family did not listen to his words, which made Chen Zhi very angry, but it also made him helpless. After all, the relationship between the three families is equal, and they just communicate with each other and discuss with each other when they encounter things. affiliation relationship.

But Chen Zhi knew that the news from the court was by no means groundless, and this time it was likely to be a big one that could not be parried.

Chen Shuda, the elder of the family, was considered a veteran loyal to the emperor, and he would send a letter back almost every year, warning his family to be honest and not to cause trouble.

"Chen style!"

The more Chen Zhi thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he immediately called out the housekeeper's name.

A short man in his 40s walked into the hall with a bow.

"Homeowner."

"Go to Xiefeng Mountain and tell Yu Kui to disperse immediately, and you are not allowed to go down the mountain this year!"

Chen Shi was puzzled and said, "Patriarch, is there a reason?"

"What reason do you want?" Chen Zhi stared at him coldly.

Chen Shi said submissively: "Patriarch, Yu Kui is not from our Chen family. The villain is worried that if there is no reason, he may not agree, but will make trouble instead."

Hearing this, Chen Zhi nodded and paced back and forth.

"That's right, I lost my mind. You tell Yu Kui that the imperial court has sent people south to investigate, and the day is approaching. If he continues to stay there, his life may be in danger."

"Yes." Chen Shi bowed and stepped back.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Zhi called several accountants and confidants to the secret room of the house.

"What is the master's order?"

Chen Zhidao: "This time the imperial court sent people to the south to investigate, there may be great danger. The seven boxes here are filled with records of bribing officials from various states and some acres of land. You are my confidantes. Immediately Take this thing out and burn it!"

"Yes."

For this matter, Chen Zhi was so careful that he didn't even dare to ask the servants in the mansion to do it. He wanted to get rid of the whole Chen family without anyone noticing, and he couldn't let the court take advantage of it.Bribing court officials is not considered a big deal, but once the court finds out why he bribed officials, it will be enough for the Chen family to kill.

In an open space, Chen Zhi's confidants carefully gathered the evidence together, looked at each other, and no one made a move first.

"Burn it." One of them urged.

"Yes, it's burning." Another person urged.

"burn!"

One person gritted his teeth, took out the torch from his sleeve, and was about to light the torch when he was shot dead on the spot by a hidden arrow.

"Who!"

The rest of the people suddenly panicked.

At this moment, dozens of strong men rushed out and controlled the situation in just half a stick of incense time.

"It's a coincidence." Wang Gui clapped his hands, a smug smile appeared on his face, and he looked like he was sure of winning.

Investigate the case, of course it must be investigated quietly, who would go south to investigate with great fanfare.

"Wang Zuocheng has a good strategy." Yu Yongning, governor of Anzhou, came out and said with a smile.

"It's thanks to your cooperation. This time, you also have merit." Wang Gui smiled and waved to the guards, who quietly left with the helpless Chen family confidants.

"Please." Wang Gui stretched out his hand.

"Please." Yu Yongning said politely, then stepped forward, kicked open the box, and took out a volume of books inside to read.

In the third year of Zhenguan, Yunmeng ordered Zhang Ming to collect two hundred hangs. '

In June of the third year of Zhenguan, Anzhou Governor Shi collected [-] hangs. '

'Zhenguan.'

Yu Yongning read through more than a dozen booklets in a row, and the cold sweat made him tremble all over.The farthest one is the ninth year of Wude, and the latest one is the tenth year of Zhenguan.In other words, basically all the officials who have stayed in Anzhou and Jingzhou in the past ten years have received money from the Chen family.

On the other side, Wang Gui looked at the booklet and angrily threw the booklet into the box.

"These guys, they are dead this time!"

Yu Yongning asked in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty really wants to investigate to the end this time?"

How many people are involved in this?

The Chen family alone is enough to cause an earthquake in Jingzhou, let alone the Xiao and Shen families.

Wang Gui said in a deep voice, "That's right, apart from me, Yu Zhining has already gone to Jiangnan Road."

Hearing this, Yu Yongning understood.Even his younger brother participated in this matter, which means that the emperor is really planning to completely clean up Jingxiang and other places.

"The Chen family, do you want to control it immediately?"

"Of course, it must be controlled immediately." Wang Gui said.

At the same time, leaning on Fengshan.

"Mr. Yu, you must not go down the mountain this year, you must not!" Chen Shi persuaded earnestly: "My master said that the imperial court will strictly investigate this place this year. If you go down the mountain, it will be very dangerous!"

Yu Kui is in his 40s this year, and he once worked under Lin Shihong, but he was so-so, not number one, so after Lin Shihong died, he took advantage of the chaos to return to his hometown to farm.But people, if you get used to another life, it will be difficult to go back to the past.Yu Kui is like this, let him pick up a hoe to plow the land, it is more painful than letting him commit suicide.

So, he went back to his old job and went up the mountain to be a robber.Because of the existence of the Chen family as a partner, he doesn't worry about not being able to rob the Dao, let alone worry about the government arresting him.Several times the government sent people to Xiefeng Mountain to suppress the bandits, but it was because of the Chen family's tip-off that Yu Kui escaped.Reciprocating, he often helps the Chen family get rid of those who are not pleasing to the eye, or the merchants in the north.

The merchants in the north are very rich.

"How did he know that the court wanted to investigate?" Yu Kui asked while scratching his hair.

Chen Shi was speechless, how could the Patriarch tell him such a thing.

"Mr. Yu, our two companies have cooperated many times. How could we harm you. This time is really unusual, and you must not take risks." Chen Shi said.

Yu Kui laughed, "It's been said every year. Every day, the court is clamoring that the imperial court will send a large army to destroy us, but so far there is not even a hair. Your family thinks too much."

After the voice fell, the other robbers in the room burst into laughter.They are all existences who lick blood on the tip of a knife, and many of them have rebelled before, and they don't take what Chen Shi said to heart at all.

Seeing this, Chen Shi was about to persuade him, but when he didn't want to, he saw a robber rushing into the house.

"It's not good, officers and soldiers, many officers and soldiers have come to kill!"

Xiefeng Mountain is not very high, and the mountain is not very steep, but the mountain is full of miscellaneous trees, jungles, and thorny barriers, which are very suitable for hiding in the robbery.

When Yu Kui learned that the officers and soldiers attacked the mountain, his first reaction was not to run, but to fight back!

As for the terrain, he was much more familiar with those officers and soldiers, and he was confident that he could eat them. As for whether they would attract the imperial army after eating them, he didn't have to worry about it. Anyway, the Chen family would help him deal with the aftermath.

Help them do the dirty work yourself, and they help themselves with the aftermath, which is fair!

"Baldy, you guys, be careful."

Just as Yu Kui squatted down with dozens of brothers and gave an order, a hidden arrow shot over and shot the "bald man" he called to death on the spot without struggling.

Under the hazy moonlight, Yu Kui trembled and realized that something was wrong.He bent down, crawled over, and carefully touched the arrow stuck in the chest of 'Baldy'.

"This is the crossbow bolt!"

Yu Kui's heart was cold. He had rebelled before, and he knew that this kind of crossbow arrows were generally sharp weapons in the army, and they would never appear in the hands of local officers and soldiers.

In this way, the opponent is the army!
hum!
After a strange sound, screams sounded one after another.

Yu Kui's scalp was numb, he quickly rolled along the ground, and then fled away.

This is not the way of officers and soldiers at all, it is clearly the way of the army!
This time, the imperial court is serious!
