Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 301 Profit
Lu Yuanzheng's words completely moved He Yunxian.

He knew in his heart that the cases handled by Jin Yiwei were hand-picked, and both the process and the results should be reported truthfully. As long as Lu Yuanzheng's words were slightly polished and written in the question book, his tall image of being out of the mud and accepting orders in the face of danger would be clear. On the paper, the emperor thousands of miles away will definitely have a good impression of him after seeing the report. In this chaotic time, the possibility of him taking over the position of magistrate will be very high.

"Then... Liu Zuo's affairs need to be done by the lower officials?"

Just now, He Yunxian, who was an official with an upright and dignified appearance, finally let go of his dignity and his self-esteem as a civil official when he was concerned about his own interests, and instead became a subordinate official in front of a deputy of the Jinyi Guard.

"Old He, you and I are both serving saints. Where did you come from the lower and upper officials? The case of Liu Zuo has nothing to do with you. You just need to go to the court and talk about various crimes. Xu Qiming, you should have heard of this person, right? There is also Liu Xingwen, Liu Zuozhi's cousin, these two people, together with Liu Zuo and other criminals, are the main culprits in this plot to bring chaos to the south of the Yangtze River. To tell you the truth, Liu Zuo's case is very involved, and the only way to deal with it as soon as possible Only by breaking up with some people who are linked with interests can we get away safely, otherwise we will suffer from it! Since the eighth year of Chongzhen, I have been working in the army and have never disappointed the Holy Majesty!"

Lu Yuanzheng leaned forward, put on a posture like a friend, and lowered his voice pretending to be mysterious.

He Yunxian's impeachment is very important, and it can be regarded as a petition representing He Yunxian's break with the Jiangnan gentry group. Although Shangguan was arrested by Jin Yiwei, as a second official, he took advantage of the opportunity to impeach Shangguan, and he helped Jin Yiwei to endorse it. The meaning is very obvious. From then on, He Yunxian stood on the opposite side of the Jiangnan officials and gentry.

Lu Yuanzheng made it clear directly: There will be many officials involved in this case. If you, He Yunxian, do not publicly impeach Liu Zuo, but want to get the prefect, this is not only impossible, but you may even be involved in the case. middle.

If you want to be a cousin and set up an archway, don't even think about such a good thing.

Of course, He Yunxian knew who was behind Xu Qiming, and he also knew that if this case was implicated, not only would Xu Wenyuan be unlucky, but the officials and gentry who had close contacts with him would also be listed as fellow party members.Jin Yiwei's methods of framing, extorting confessions by torture, etc. are well-known. As long as they are the target they are targeting, they will peel off their skin if they don't die.

But once he gets the bullet, it means that he will completely offend the entire Jiangnan gentry class, and also offend his backers in the court. His future career will be full of dangers, and he may be hunted down someday. If you go to the wrong place, you will be impeached, and if you make trouble, you will be dismissed from office.

But if the bullets are not played according to Jin Yiwei's wishes, not only will the prefect's seat be lost, but he may even be caught in Liu Zuo's case. He Yunxian believes that as long as he refuses directly, the other party will immediately turn his back on him.

After struggling in his heart for a long time, He Yunxian made up his mind: "Then when is the best time for the official to write? Should I wait for Liu Zuo to confess or write it now?"

Seeing this, Lu Yuanzheng was overjoyed: "This is not urgent, so I'm here to congratulate He Zhifu first! Hahaha! Liu Zuo and others plan to strike the market as a forerunner, and wait for a few days after the daily shortage of grain, oil and salt in the city, and then dispatch People are secretly besieging the people to besiege the government and create images of civil chaos in order to achieve their ulterior purpose! He Zhifu, the most urgent task at the moment is to restore Yangzhou's daily appearance, and then the government sent people to investigate the scene where the villains set fire last night Afterwards, compensation will be set according to the damages of the shops and nearby residents, and compensation will be given to the casualties, so that Liu Zuo and others can only fail their conspiracy and return the imperial court to a prosperous and stable Yangzhou! In the report, write a special letter for He Zhifu! He Zhifu, is there any official in the government who is friendly with you? You tell his name and official position, and I will release him immediately!"

Lu Yuanzheng called He Zhifu one by one, as if He Yunxian had really become a prefect.He Yunxian, who was still struggling at first, really felt very useful after hearing this.

The spirited He Yunxian casually mentioned a few names, including torture rooms, household houses, and workshops, but most of them were officials such as scribes.Lu Yuanzheng called the school lieutenant outside the door, and told them to follow He Yunxian today, while guarding his safety, and then go to the front yard of the lobby to release these people, and then select people from the strong squad of subordinate officials, and write notices along the street Post up and organize people to beat the gong to announce that all businesses will open for business immediately, otherwise they will be arrested and imprisoned in the name of traffic robbers.

After Lu Yuanzheng finished his explanation, he got up and left and went back to the Thousand Households Office. It was enough for one of the Hundred Households to lead someone to stay and continue to interrogate and screen the others.

He knew that as long as He Yunxian accepted this matter, he would definitely do it with all his heart.Although most of the officials in Ming Dynasty are relatively greedy, they are not lacking in governance ability.

As long as people from the government come forward, except for a few large government and gentry households, small and medium-sized merchants who are already vacillating will definitely open their businesses immediately after hearing the government's propaganda.After all, they are all pointing to this little business to support their families. The strike and closure of the store was also done after Xu Qiming and Liu Xingwen sent people from door to door to persuade and threaten them. If you listen to the greeting, you will be caught by the boss immediately, so why bother to fight against the government?
As for the compensation for the Four Seas Commercial Bank and the surrounding damaged residents, it must be taken from the property of Xu Qiming and others.

The fire last night destroyed several shops and goods of Sihai Commercial Bank, and even the nearby residents suffered. A total of more than 30 houses were burned down. Fortunately, no one was burned to death.

Lu Yuanzheng, who returned to the Qianhu Office, immediately went to Liang Qi's public house and reported He Yunxian's affairs to Liang Qi.

"Old Lu, what you did is not bad! As long as the government comes forward, Yangzhou will be safe and sound, and it will return to its previous appearance in a few days. Liu Zuo and others have been arrested, and we are done here! At Chenshi, you are guarding in Yangzhou, so I went to Huai'an Mansion to see the situation there. According to the wishes of the town governor, we should have waited for this group of people to make a big fuss before taking action. Now that Yangzhou is over, other prefectures may soon I know, to prevent accidents, I will go to Huai'an to sit and watch! You can just watch over here, I have already explained everything, just follow the original path!"

When the strike in Yangzhou was subsided in a flash, the Suzhou government in the southeast of Yangzhou was undercurrents.

Jinyiwei only set up one hundred-household office in Suzhou Prefecture, and the official office was the original Suzhou Wei Department.

When the Baihusuo was first established and moved in, because the Weisuo in the south of the Yangtze River had long existed in name only, and no one was handling official business in the office, and due to disrepair and lack of popularity, many of the original majestic and majestic buildings had collapsed and dilapidated. The courtyard is also overgrown with weeds.

Chen Quan, a member of the Suzhou Baihu Institute, is a rough person. After seeing this situation, he didn't pay much attention to it. He just took out his public money and hired someone from the dental office to clean it up briefly, and then roughed up the collapsed house. After repairing, people will be brought into it.

In the afternoon of that day, after the application time, Li Ruolian was having a private conversation with Fang Wen, the prefect of Suzhou, in the office of Chen Quan, the office of Baihu.

This Fang Wen is the Fang Wen who served as the magistrate of Lingtai County when Sun Chuanting suppressed bandits in Shaanxi. He was promoted to the sixth rank because of his military achievements. It is the prefect of Suzhou.

Fang Wen has been promoted from a sixth-rank magistrate to the position of the chief official of the big mansion. He is full of gratitude to Sun Chuanting in his heart. The Suzhou government has made some outstanding achievements in office, which is used to repay the kindness of the benefactor's recommendation.

But when he went to the bustling Suzhou from the backcountry in the northwest with confidence, he realized that if there were no major changes, it would be difficult for him, the prefect of Suzhou, to achieve anything.

The reason is very simple, his decree can't get out of the Suzhou government office at all, his magistrate has been completely emptied, and he has become a mud-bodied wood sculpture with a false name.
