A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

If anyone in the Song Dynasty had the best life, it was the big landowners.

The Song Dynasty did not restrict land annexation, and various taxes were heavy. If you are a small landowner today, you are likely to go bankrupt and become a tenant tomorrow.

But big landowners are different.

Almost all big landowners have strong support behind them.

Wu Zhao was a big landowner and his life was pretty good and stable.

He was sitting in an armchair, with a young maid fanning gently beside him. There is a gentle breeze, and you can enjoy the crisp autumn air outside without going out.

"They haven't come yet?"

He had just had breakfast and had eaten a little too much. His chest and abdomen moved, and food came to his mouth. He chewed it, and then asked the butler outside the door.

The housekeeper looked outside, frowning: "Mr. Lang, will you be caught?"

Wu Zhao hummed, and just when the housekeeper secretly praised his husband for being as calm as a mountain, he saw him jump up suddenly.

"Go and see!"

Wu Zhao rushed to the door, and the maid was frightened and screamed.

This exclamation was gentle and charming.

In the past, Wu Zhao would have teased him, but now he suddenly turned around, his eyes as fierce as a wolf.

"Shut up, or I'll kill you!"

The maid covered her mouth, trembling with fear.

Wu Zhao stood by the door, holding the door frame with his right hand and his left hand hanging by his side, trembling slightly.

The housekeeper had been out for a while, and Wu Zhao shouted: "Yang Yong!"

The autumn wind blows through the courtyard, and the leaves rustle...

Wu Zhao looked up at the branches and leaves swaying in the wind. The scene that he used to think was poetic and picturesque turned out to be so terrifying.

Those branches and leaves seemed to be waving the arms of demons and monsters, and those rustling sounds seemed to be sinister laughter...

Wu Zhao suddenly listened. His body miraculously stopped trembling, and then he slowly turned around.

The maid stood by the side with her hands tied, and when she saw him turning around, she forced out a flattering smile.

But the smile immediately froze on his face, and the maid looked behind him in horror.

Wu Zhao heard a small sound behind him, and he swore it was footsteps.

He was stiff and his cheeks were trembling.

No one would be so gentle...

"Yang Yong..."

With one last glimmer of hope, he summoned the butler.

"Wu Zhao?"

A voice came from behind, and then the footsteps became heavier.

Wu Zhao stared at the maid, and he slowly turned around...

Just as he was turning halfway, he rushed towards the maid.

The maid was stunned and was pulled behind her by him.

He hoped that the maid could hold off the pursuers for a moment, so he burst out with his potential and ran towards the back.

Shen An did not pursue him. Huang Chun went to get a chair for him to sit on, and then asked someone to sneak Yang Yongti over.

Yang Yong's face was bruised, and he asked calmly: "Who is the noble person? This is Wujiazhuang. Today, the noble people are riding in Wujiazhuang, and tomorrow in the court... I am afraid there will be no shortage of impeachments."

Shen An sat with a golden sword and asked: "Did you send those two people last night?"

The two people had already come in and were being led to kneel beside them. Their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen and miserable.

Yang Yong said in shock: "The villain didn't instruct anything... They... They were driven out of Wujiazhuang by the villain because of theft..."

The clearing up was quick and the excuse was good.

"Yeah?"

Shen An raised his head slightly, suddenly kicked Yang Yong over, and cursed: "You don't want to shed tears until you see the coffin! That's fine, Brother Chun."

Huang Chun was happy, "Mr. Lang."

Shen An said: "The execution is right here."

Yang Yong said in shock: "This is a private court!"

Huang Chun grabbed his collar and said with a ferocious smile: "My husband is the court."

After being whipped, Huang Chun took out a small brush and asked someone to take off Yang Yong's shoes and socks.

Yang Yong didn't know what he wanted to do, he just panted.

What does it feel like to gently brush the soles of your feet with a coat brush?

"Oh...ah...hahahaha..."

Yang Yong twisted his body vigorously, laughing and crying at the same time.

"Lang Jun, Wu Zhao is here."

Wu Zhao had a whip mark on his face and was dragged over by Yan Baoyu with one hand.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Yang Yong burst into tears and laughed. Wu Zhao glanced at him with a stern look in his eyes.

"Kneel down!"

Yan Baoyu kicked him and knelt in front of Shen An, saying: "Lang Jun, this man is cunning. He hid in the hut first, and then quietly escaped from the side after our people rushed over. If it weren't for us on the wall, This person will really get away with him today."

"cunning?"

Shen An leaned forward, stared at Wu Zhao and asked: "The formula of fragrant dew is the result of Shen's many years of experiments, which cost countless money and food. There are so many people who want to seize the formula. Those top dignitaries are drooling in their dreams, but they But I dare not act rashly... Do you know why?"

Wu Zhao's eyes became cunning and he said, "I don't know what you are talking about..."

Shen An smiled, "Because the Mangshan Army is on the village, they have suffered losses... So you dare to take action, which surprised Shen. Originally, Shen thought that there would be top dignitaries making suggestions behind him, but when he saw you Later, Shen knew that the person behind it was at most a small powerful person or official..."

Wu Zhao shook his head and said, "I don't know what you are talking about."

This is a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water.

Shen An smiled: "Are you confident? Interesting."

"The villain has recruited...the villain has recruited..."

At this time, Yang Yong could no longer bear the torture of brushing the soles of his feet and collapsed.

"who is it?"

Huang Chun held up the brush and continued to tickle him.

"He is a businessman..."

"Ordinary businessmen don't dare, so who do businessmen deal with?"

"With... and several clans..."

"Which ones? Is there a county prince's palace?"

"County Prince's Mansion? No..."

"That's it!"

Shen An thought of the recent undercurrents and asked, "Are there any lies?"

Yang Yong never knew that tickling could be so painful. He glanced at the brush in Huang Chun's hand with fear and said, "I don't dare, little man."

Shen An looked at Wu Zhao...

"ask him……"

Then screams could be heard in the yard.

"Mr. Lang, it's the businessman who pulls the strings."

Huang Chun's eyes were full of excitement and he said: "Hang them directly outside the workshop and brush some honey on them. Those bugs will love it the most..."

"Please wait for mercy..."

Wu Zhao and Yang Yong were frightened to the point of peeing, and they knelt on the ground, kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Shen An kicked away Wu Zhao, who was trying to hug his thigh, with something unknown flashing in his eyes.

"Do you... do you want to die or live?"

"If you want to live, the villain wants to live."

"Then be obedient and remember, it will be good for you to be well behaved."

…

While autumn brings crisp air, it also brings dryness.

Zhao Yunrang's temper was bad, and it was even worse now.

The room was in a mess as if a tornado had just blown through.

Zhao Yunrang roared with two big eye bubbles: "That beast... How many times have I told you? How many times? Be careful, be careful, be a good person... But what kind of person has he become? He has become a beast!"

One of his grandsons, Zhao Zhongyi, was kneeling outside. His body was covered with tea and he was shivering.

Standing on the side were a group of children and grandchildren, all of whom were frightened into silence.

Zhao Yunrang appeared at the door. He glanced at his children and grandchildren first, then stared at Zhao Zhongyi and asked, "Who asked you to drink?"

Zhao Zhongyi lowered his head and said: "Weng Weng, the steward of Beihai County Prince's Mansion said... that the thirteenth uncle is a sick man... his grandson drank too much, so... just..."

"Just shit!"

Zhao Yunrang scolded: "I kicked three of that man's ribs and vomited a basin of blood. Do you want to eat human blood? I asked someone to get a basin for you to drink."

Zhao Zhongyu knew that his grandfather could do what he said, so he begged: "Weng Weng, my grandson drank too much at that time. I promise not to dare again in the future."

Zhao Yunrang raised his head and sighed: "The officials in the palace have already let go. At this point, don't say that your thirteenth uncle is a sick man, even if he is a dead man... wait until the thirteenth son enters the palace, etc. ...There will naturally be plenty of opportunities to deal with those people in the future, and small impatience will mess up big plans, do you understand?"

Zhao Zhongyu lowered his head and said, "My grandson understands."

If it was his son, then Zhao Yun would have kicked him away from the cliff.

He was furious, but in the end he just waved his hand and said: "Get out!"

After Zhao Zhongyu left, Zhao Yunrang sat on the steps and sighed: "The ministers are giving advice, the officials have already relented, and the position of prince is in front of us. At this time, we should stay away from those two families... That housekeeper ...Thirteenth Lang..."

Zhao Zongshi said: "This is intentional. Zhong Yu doesn't like drinking very much on weekdays. Who did he go with on that day?"

One of his brothers, who is also Zhao Zhongyu's father, said: "They are some of Zhong Yu's friends."

Zhao Zongshi said calmly: "Someone must have been bribed, and then got Zhong Yu drunk. The housekeeper will anger Zhong Yu again, and those friends will encourage him again. It is logical to do something later... Zhong Yu is young after all, so I can't blame him for this. .”

Zhao Zhongzhen had already thought it through clearly. He nodded slightly and felt that his father's analysis was not bad at all.

"But he did it after all, and at this time. Regardless of whether the officials care or not, those ministers will impeach, and once impeached, they will definitely bring the Thirteenth Prince with them... Then Zhao Yunbi has such a gloomy mind. UU Reading ｗww.uukａnshu.net ”

Zhao Yunrang said disdainfully: "I have always felt that this person was sinister since I was a child, and now it is true. This time he dared to trick my grandson. Is he trying to pave the way for Zhao Yunliang? Why? Did Zhao Yunliang promise him something?"

Zhao Zongshi was slightly happy, but he sighed, knowing that he could not avoid this level.

He wished that Zhao Zongjiang would win the battle for the prince, but looking at his father, his wife, his children, his brothers and his nephews... he couldn't quit.

Life is like a chess game, and I am the pawn.

The pawns crossing the river advanced and retreated until they reached the end.

Once you rush past, there is no turning back...

Zhao Yunrang waved his hand and drove away those children and grandchildren, leaving only Zhao Zongshi and his son.

Seeing that he was showing signs of fatigue, Zhao Zongshi felt sad and helped him in.

"Dad, don't be anxious."

Zhao Yunrang sat on the couch, and Asu quickly came to give him a pat on his shoulders and back.

He sighed: "There is no hurry! When those ministers get this news, they will definitely impeach our family. Think about what they will say... Yes, the family members of the prince are so domineering when you become the prince. I am afraid that the Prince’s Palace will be superior to that of the Song Dynasty..."

This is something that can't be helped, and no one can stop it.

Zhao Zongshi was about to speak when a servant came outside.

"Prince, Shen An is here."
