Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 742 One wrong step, one wrong step after another
"What a good thing!"

Beijing.

Sun's house.

In the reception room, a voice was heard, breaking the long silence. Under the gaze of some people, a man stood up angrily and spoke excitedly.

"Cui Chengxiu and his gang of cruel officials have caused chaos in Zhejiang and arrested so many people, including many famous people. Your Majesty has such an attitude. This is simply unreasonable!"

"And Qi Jin, a warrior! He was ordered to go to Nanzhili to rectify the Xiaoling Guard, but he violated our laws and arrested tens of thousands of people in Nanjing. What did he want to do?"

"Gentlemen! Gentlemen! Are we just going to sit back and do nothing about this? If this continues, I'm afraid the country will no longer exist!!"

The events in Zhejiang and Nanzhili eventually reached the capital, causing great shock to many officials in the capital who were from the southeast.

Especially for the Donglin Party, Zhejiang Party, Chu Party, Kun Party, Fujian Party... these Beijing officials who formed cliques and formed groups, they did not expect such a thing to happen.

"The emperor favors villains and stays away from loyal people. This is not what a wise ruler should do! So many loyal people have been arrested. If I am in the central government and do nothing, how will people in the world view me?"

"This matter must not be left unsolved!"

"That's right. Going to the Meridian Gate to kneel down and make a petition to impeach the emperor will cost you your head, right? Everyone is destined to die. If this matter is left unchecked, the Ming Dynasty will be doomed!"

Because of this man's shouting, many people were cheered up, but Sun Ruyou, who was sitting in the main seat, remained silent about the scenes before his eyes.

When the incidents in Zhejiang and Southern Zhili broke out, the Zhejiang Party became a mess. The reason was very simple. Many of the people Cui Chengxiu arrested in Zhejiang had close ties with Zhejiang officials in Beijing, and some of them were even close relatives or in-laws!

The next people who could not sit still were the Donglin Party, the Chu Party, the Kun Party, and the Min Party, those officials in Beijing. They were all worried about one thing: what happened in Zhejiang and Nanzhili might happen in other places, such as Huguang, Fujian, Jiangxi, etc.!

What an eventful time.

Sun Ruyou was in a state of confusion at this moment. Although Cui Chengxiu and his men did not arrest anyone from the Yuyao Sun family when they launched the arrest operation in Zhejiang, many of his relatives, disciples, and former officials were arrested.

Among the Zhejiang Party at present, the most anxious person is none other than Sun Ruyou. If Cui Chengxiu and others cause other troubles in Zhejiang, I am afraid that the Yuyao Sun family will be affected.

But at the same time, things happened one after another at the center, and he, the leader of the Zhejiang Party, was unknowingly caught in the middle.

In the past few days, what Sun Ruyou thought about the most was Fang Congzhe's student, Qi Shijiao, the leader of the Qi Party, and the Qi Party members who were previously in Beijing.

Just because of a grain transport case, a large number of people from the Qi Party headed by Qi Shijiao, from the central government to the local levels, were arrested and killed. The emperor's attitude on this matter was so firm.

As the noise in the reception room intensified, a figure quietly left from an inconspicuous corner. The Zhejiang Party members in the reception room did not notice this at all.

Such things were not only happening at Sun's residence, but also in some places in the capital, and everything was happening so quietly.

……

The Luanwei station.

"It's been quite lively recently, whether in the court or in the capital."

In the Luanwei Commander's office, Li Ruolian sat on the official chair, put down the secret report in his hand, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "A large number of people were arrested in Zhejiang and Nanzhili. I don't know what's going on there, but the commotion in the capital is indeed quite serious."

"Boss, do you want to add more people to monitor it?"

He Jinzhong folded his hands over his chest, stared at Li Ruolian and said, "This is not a good sign. If someone secretly passes some news to Nanzhili or Zhejiang, causing chaos in the above-mentioned places, then..."

"How dare they!" Li Ruolian snorted coldly, "The soldiers maintained by the court are not vegetarians. Not to mention the troops guarding the borders far away in Liaodong, just take the soldiers in the capital and the surrounding areas. If there is any chaos in Nanzhili and Zhejiang, there will definitely be a group of them who will follow the order and rush south along the canal to the place where the chaos happened!"

"But the northern troops are going to the southern border, after all..."

He Jinzhong said with some concern.

"Have you forgotten the group of soldiers from Jiangsu and Zhejiang who followed Pinglubo northward?"

Li Ruo Lian raised his eyebrows and said, "Not to mention that Pinglu Bo is in Nanjing, with these Jiangsu and Zhejiang soldiers as the backbone, and supplies from the capital and the surrounding areas, and a group of brave soldiers stationed in the key points of the canal. If a war really breaks out, do you think that the southeastern provinces that have been peaceful for a long time will be as difficult to deal with as the rampant Jianlu?"

"Yes!"

He Jinzhong's eyes lit up and he said, "How could I have forgotten this? If this were true, the court would have killed many treacherous villains in the southeastern provinces."

"We need to take this matter step by step."

Li Ruo Lian narrowed his eyes and said, "How did you select the people I asked you to select?"

"Reporting to the Commander, I have made my selections."

He Jinzhong hurriedly bowed and greeted him.

"Okay, spread it out then."

Li Ruolian said with a cold look, "Tell them to go to Shandong, Henan, Nanzhili, Zhejiang and other places. When they get there, try to infiltrate the Cao Gang. If there is a chance, see if they can join the Cao Army."

"Ok?"

He Jinzhong was puzzled. "Aren't these secret agents going to infiltrate the southeastern provinces to monitor those prominent families and those in Nanjing?"

"It's not urgent."

Li Ruo Lian waved his hand and said, "As for what Cui Chengxiu and his team are investigating, it will inevitably involve the grain transport. If this matter is really to be done, it will inevitably involve the grain transport office and the grain transport troops stationed in various places."

"When Cui Chengxiu was ordered to go to Lu to investigate the grain transport, what he found was just the surface. Whether it was grain or silver, or even smuggling by official ships, the bulk of it was on the South Grand Canal."

"The Integrity Bureau led by Cui Chengxiu will find some information in the southeastern provinces, but there are still some things he cannot take care of, that is, the grain transport offices and the grain transport troops in various places. I am afraid that many of them are rotten. If the court really wants to move the grain transport, it will not be able to control the vital points. Once the grain transport is stopped, it will threaten the stability of the capital, the capital area, and even the northern Zhili."

"I understand."

He Jinzhong suppressed his fear and bowed immediately, saying, "I will arrange it right away."

"Go ahead, and keep this a secret."

Li Ruo Lian nodded and said, "From now on, you will be in charge of this group of secret agents who have infiltrated the canal transportation. Remember, don't let anyone know about this."

"Here!"

He Jinzhong responded in a deep voice.

The Luan Guards went from being secret to being in the light, and then back to secret again, to let some people know about the existence of the Luan Guards. However, the Luan Guards hidden in the dark are a sharp sword of the country that can be unsheathed at any time and anywhere. Now that Li Ruolian has returned to Beijing, what he has to do is to strengthen the Luan Guards and give full play to their advantages!
