Early Tang Dynasty: forge ahead

Chapter 254 Let’s see how you end up!

As soon as he said this, the eight people in the hall changed their expressions one after another.

The eight of them control most of the power in Xiazhou. As long as the eight of them work together, they can block out the sky, turn the dead into alive, and turn the black into white.

But Chen Qingsi's move went straight to their hearts...

It is precisely because they control most of the power that they can move sideways in this three-thirds of an acre of Xiazhou, and many things are not concealed.

Chen Qingsi's approach of going straight to the scene of the problem without saying hello or listening to the report was the most fatal to them.

Xiong Lianghong was panicked and angry, and asked: "Ambassador, have you ever asked me about your act of making decisions without permission?"

Chen Qingsi still said calmly: "Why do I need to explain to Governor Xiong when I act?"

Xiong Lianghong was furious: "What a pacifier, you don't know the right and wrong of the market. Do you know what kind of disaster such reckless behavior will bring to the people of Xiazhou? You keep saying that you serve the country and the people, but you don't know that because of your recklessness, it will be very difficult for me. The good situation created by the business fell apart, leading to an irreversible situation.”

Chen Qingsi was extremely angry and laughed back: "Indulging the evil tyrants and neglecting the livelihood of the people? Is this what you call a great situation? It's the most ridiculous thing in the world..."

Seeing that Yuan Feng was already a bit upset, he also changed his submissive attitude and planned to secretly threaten on behalf of Xiazhou's power.

"List……"

"To shut up!"

He only said the word "Chen" before Chen Qingsi interrupted.

Chen Qingsi shouted: "What is your identity? I didn't ask you in this court, do you have the qualifications to speak?"

Yuan Feng's old face turned red.

How many years have passed since someone actually spoke to me like this in this small area of ​​Xiazhou?

"Come here, take down these seven people first!"

Chen Qingsi didn't give him a chance to react and directly ordered the arrest.

Liu Chuang couldn't help it anymore, and roared: "Who dares!"

He was tall and sturdy, with a loud voice that echoed in the lobby.

Chen Qingsi was not used to his bad temper, so she drew the sword from her waist, pointed at everyone in the hall and said, "Whoever dares to resist will be killed on the spot!"

As Chen Qingsi drew his sword, Zhou Kui and the Cheng family guards who followed him also drew their weapons at the same time.

These Cheng family guards were arranged by Li Zhi. They were all brave soldiers who had been on the battlefield. Their momentum immediately intimidated the people in the hall.

The most arrogant Liu Chuang saw the two men charging at him with knives. His momentum instantly evaporated. He squatted on the ground with his head in his hands. In a few breaths, he completed the transformation from tiger to fish.

He didn't dare to bet on whether the other side would slash him with a knife.

Chen Qingsi said with a bit of ridicule: "Your body is quite honest, right?"

Xiong Lianghong turned pale with fright. When Chen Qingsi and a group of guards drew their knives, his body swayed unconsciously.

Xiong Lianghong's official career was not smooth, but the process was smooth. He could handle any accidents with his own intelligence. This was the first time he had seen such a situation where he actually used weapons.

He saw the fierce guards subduing the seven people, and the police officers who heard the noise rushed into the lobby.

But when he saw the shining swords, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to step forward and stopped on the spot.

Xiong Lianghong reacted very unhappily and turned around and shouted angrily: "Whoever asked you to come in, get out, get out!"

In addition to the servants, there was also Sima Qiwei from the state capital.

At this point, the worst step. Xiong Lianghong knew that he had no choice but to use the power of the Seven Powers to force Chen Qingsi to compromise.

In fact, there is still a feasible way, to give up all resistance and let Chen Qingsi continue to investigate.

But if this happens, all the achievements he is proud of over the years will be reduced to nothing.

Especially when we are facing Chen Qingsi today.

Xiong Lianghong knew better than anyone else that people like Chen Qingsi were destined to be famous in history. Even if he died immediately, the poems and essays he left behind, as well as the reform of the imperial examination system, would be enough to be remembered in history and be respected by future generations. His life story will be studied repeatedly by future generations. The people who fall in front of him will also become infamy for eternity because of him.

Xiong Lianghong regards power and fame as his life, and is unwilling to become a stepping stone for Chen Qingsi. He also does not want future generations to mention the three words "Xiong Lianghong" and say, "He is the traitor who committed evil in Xiazhou and was punished by Mr. Chen."

Therefore, there is no second way in Xiong Lianghong's mind. Even if he goes all the way to the dark side and fights for a chance of survival, it is better than surrendering and becoming a laughing stock.

Qi Wei received the news and left quickly.

Xiong Lianghong pointed at the powerful people on the ground and made a last-ditch effort, saying: "Envoy Chen Anping, these people are the key to the stability of Xiazhou. If they had not controlled the situation, Xiazhou, a place full of unruly people, would have been in turmoil." It is indeed easy to deal with them, but have you ever thought about who will be responsible for the turmoil afterwards, and who can bear this responsibility?"

Chen Qingsi put the weapon in her hand back into its sheath and said: "This case involves Governor Xiong too much, so it's better to avoid suspicion!"

After he finished speaking, he ignored Xiong Lianghong and sat down on the main seat. He wanted to confirm one thing.

Xiong Lianghong is the governor of Xiazhou, and Xiazhou is Xiazhou. According to the rules, the governor of Xiazhou is the fourth grade.

Chen Qingsi, the pacifier, did not have the power to deal with the fourth-rank official. If not, he would have taken it directly without talking nonsense.

But he has the power to suspend Xiong Lianghong from his position and let the court send someone to deal with the matter.

Seeing Chen Qingsi trying to avoid suspicion, Xiong Lianghong's eyes were full of indignation, and he thought in his heart: Okay, you are so decisive, let's see how it ends later.

There is a reason why Xiong Lianghong is so confident.

Xiazhou is close to mountains, Gobi and deserts. It rarely rains a few times throughout the year and is extremely short of water.

Seventy percent of the arable land in the prefecture is located on both sides of the Yellow River. After a hundred years of development, the seven powerful surnames of Yuan, Liu, Yan, Wang, Yang, Chiqian and Yao controlled almost all the fertile fields on both sides of the Yellow River.

Sixty percent of the farmers in the city are tenants of the seventh surname and work hard for them.

Together these people are a formidable force.

Once they get into trouble, how will it end?

Xiong Lianghong gritted his teeth and waited.

Chen Qingsi tapped her fingers on the table, tapping again and again, waiting patiently.

As for the leaders of the seven surnames, Yuan Feng, Liu Chuang, Yan Dan, Wang Yan, Yang Yanying, Chi Ganbo and Yao Hai, they knelt on the ground and did not dare to speak.

These people are used to fine clothes and fine food, but they have never suffered such a crime. They only knelt for only half an hour, and some of them couldn't stand it anymore.

Especially Yuan Feng and Yang Yanying, one is in his fifties and the other is in his sixties. They are both at a certain age and have weak legs and feet. They feel that these feet are not their own.

I wanted to beg for mercy, but when I saw the guards around me standing with knives, looking at them fiercely, I didn't dare to speak, and I kept calling "my mother" in my heart...

Time passed little by little, and suddenly there was a loud noise outside.

The powerful men with seven surnames who complained endlessly showed joy on their faces.

Xiong Lianghong even looked like he was watching a show, thinking: Let's see how you end it.
