.,

After all, they are scholars, and their hearts are like mirrors, but for them, right and wrong are not important now, the important thing is to make the court find it difficult.

For example, this imperial envoy is a serious crime. The reason why no one in the south of the Yangtze River can touch him is because he still has the name of an imperial envoy, but the court...

Will the imperial court let go of a person who killed the left deputy capital censor in Xiaoling in broad daylight?

Therefore... this imperial envoy... must be a capital offense.

Now that this person's crimes are well established, then... At this time, find a way to implicate Xishan Bank and this heinous crime, and let people know that the two are in collusion. Then... the crime of Xishan Bank Not too small.

Now that everyone is making a fuss, the imperial court is bound to be in a dilemma. After all... If the imperial court does not severely punish the Xishan Bank, there will inevitably be rumors that it must be His Majesty protecting Qi Guogong, allowing Qi Guogong to harm the people in the south of the Yangtze River, and even...

Isn't the imperial court worried about the huge consequences caused by the instability of the people in the south of the Yangtze River?

But once...the imperial court photographs the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, the most likely result is that both sides will simply hit 50 boards each, and the imperial envoy is dead. Qi Guogong is suspected of colluding with the imperial envoy, but at least there will be some punishment. Of course, This punishment may not be too great, but in order to appease Jiangnan's people, it is necessary to ask Xishan Bank to return the land...

In this way, it can be said that everyone is happy.

Here in the south of the Yangtze River... There are many things like this. In fact, as early as the Chenghua period, there were eunuchs guarding the gentry who asked the gentry to pay taxes. There was such a stir that even the suppressed Jin Yiwei was thrown into the river and drowned die.

The final result is that the law does not blame the public, and the court has 50 boards. This matter... is considered the past.

Therefore, there was no guarding eunuch in the future... to hit the gentry's head.

Now the Xishan Bank is equivalent to the guarding eunuch back then. At this time... it depends on whether everyone is causing enough trouble.

What's more, most of the Nanjing Six Departments are quite sympathetic to the gentry.

This is actually easy to understand. Which of the six departments in Nanjing is not from a gentry family? After taking office, will he have something in common with ordinary people?

Naturally not, because they have the same experience as the gentry, read the same books, and there must be some human relations with each other. The court abused the gentry in this way, but it was actually torturing themselves.

It's just... I can't reveal my feelings for the time being. Some things still have to be done according to the procedures, and it needs to be fair.

The British Duke Zhang Mao was a straightforward person, so he immediately rushed to the Mansion of the Five Armed Forces in Nanjing and was promoted to his seat.

Entering the city on this road, you can see the vast number of scholars, and you can see the end, people are mourning, these people are in the countryside, raising slaves, and have tenants, controlling the livelihood of many people, every one who weeps bitterly Behind the gentry, there may be dozens or even hundreds of ordinary people attached to them.

So... Zhang Mao couldn't help frowning, thinking to himself, this Jiangnan gentry... is not easy to provoke.

Of course...he was still expressionless, but he couldn't help but sneered...

The officer brought the troops here, and the first thing he encountered was such a thing. Is this an excuse to give him a blow?

After being promoted, crowds of people gathered outside the Dudu's mansion again, the voices were noisy and noisy, and the accompanying soldiers wanted to drive some of them away, but the crowd couldn't be driven away. Instead, the ranks of the soldiers were dispersed.

The military officer who led the team didn't dare to be driven away with a whip. No matter how simple his thinking was, he knew that today's matter was not easy. More, so I couldn't help wiping my sweat desperately, feeling extremely anxious.

Zhang Mao was naturally calm, and after the officials from the six ministries sat around him like stars holding the moon, he looked gently at the Minister of the Household Department, Liu Yi, and said: "Mr. Liu, what these people just said Chen Zhiqing, since Liu Gong is the Minister of the Household Department and has been in Nanjing for a long time, what do you think?"

Liu Yi was clearly prepared in his heart, and immediately said without hesitation: "Since I won the kingdom in the Ming Dynasty, the taxes in the south of the Yangtze River have been the heaviest, but... the British government knows that the taxes are so heavy. The number of soldiers and horses is the least. The Duke, the imperial court has maintained peace and stability in the south of the Yangtze River for a hundred and fifty years with a mere dozens of guards. Is this because of some reason? It is not the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River. All of them are well-read poems and books, people who are loyal to the country, this person who is weeping blood outside, which one of the ancestors has never had the experience of being praised by the court or the government, and every family has an imperial or official memorial archway , Such a person... If he hadn't been driven into a desperate situation, how could he not even want to be gentle and decent, and cry here?"

After hearing this, Zhang Mao fell into silence.

A Shangshu is a Shangshu, such a remark, not to mention the right and wrong, the truth of the matter seems to be unimportant, but it is enough to make people sympathize with Qi Zhiyuan and others.

Zhang Mao was speechless, he was a vulgar person, and the only thing he had a little bit of culture was worshiping the ancestors on behalf of the emperor. At this time, after hearing Liu Yiyu's earnest words, Zhang Mao's expression became much gentler.

At this time, Liu Yi went on to say: "As for the imperial envoy, he is absolutely heinous. Now people are saying that this imperial envoy is related to Xishan Bank, and the old man has indeed found out that this imperial envoy bought property in Beijing and borrowed money from Xishan Bank. A lot of money... He suddenly violently killed people. The people who were killed were well-known.

The censor of Cao Du, jealous of evil, may also have heard about the Xishan Qianzhuang's land seizure, and this imperial envoy...relying on the emperor's life, that's why he did this to him. It's hard to tell, but... the lower officials think that there is no impenetrable wall in this world, and now there must be some basis for the gossip outside. The gentry and common people in the south of the Yangtze River are all sorry for Cao Du Censor, Cao Du Censor's family, I also arrived in Nanjing two days ago. Hey... I have seen it with my own eyes. I was shocked to hear such a bad news. "

When Liu Yi opened his mouth, the others all nodded.

Zhang Mao had a stern face, but thought in his heart, Jifan, you bastard, you really caused this old man a lot of trouble.

He didn't show any expression on his face, and turned to say: "Have you invited the imperial envoy? Take an extra team to prevent him from absconding in fear of crime. Of course... along the way, be polite. He is an imperial envoy. The crime of sin is not something you can offend."

Then, his face sank, he turned his head and said again: "Please gentlemen, recommend a few people to come in, and I will inquire personally."

Liu Yi and the others began to think about it, knowing that at this time... Zhang Mao probably already knew that even if he didn't favor Qi Zhiyuan and others, at least in order to prevent any trouble, he would definitely not wear the same pair of pants with Qi Guogong .

Not long after, Qi Zhiyuan and seven or eight gentry rushed in, and before they could be greeted, they all took the lead in prostrating and expressing their grievances.

Zhang Mao glanced at them, with a serious expression on his face: "Okay, I will give you justice. You keep saying that the Xishan Bank colluded with imperial envoys to kill people. Do you have evidence?"

"Yes!" Qi Zhiyuan spit out a word neatly, for the sake of this trouble today, he came prepared.

So he said loudly: "Grandpa Cao, the censor of the left deputy capital, had told his family members before that Xishan Bank tried to bribe him repeatedly so that he would turn a blind eye to the Xishan Bank's embezzlement of land property." With one eye, Mr. Cao is an upright person, so he tried his best to refuse, and drove him out with righteous words, but he was worried in his heart, and he once said to his second son that the Xishan Bank refused to submit, it was inevitable If he wanted to murder him, he was the censor of the left deputy of the capital procuratorate. He blocked their way of making money, but he didn't know... what tricks the other party would use for them. The Duke didn't believe him, so he called the second son of Duke Cao...just ask and he would know. "

Zhang Mao's face was gloomy.

Honestly, what a crime.

The Cao Yuan people are all dead, it can be said that there is no proof of death.

As for the testimony of his second son, he may not be able to accept it.

But the problem is that...he is the son of Cao Yuan, Zhang Mao may not believe it, but will the soldiers and civilians in the world not believe it?

Zhang Mao then said, "What's the name of this person?"

"My name is Cao Shang, and I'm just outside, begging the Duke to be the master of his father."

"Called."

Then Cao Chang came, with a submissive look, first glanced at Qi Zhiyuan cautiously, then bowed down, and then cried: "My father died unjustly, he was killed by the Xishan Bank in collusion with the imperial envoy, my father died, Dedicated to my duties, never made any negligence, how could I have thought that when I am old, I will die unexpectedly, I implore the Duke to be the master."

He cried so vividly that the sound of howling shook the rubble, and people couldn't help sighing, sympathizing with Cao Shang's pain of losing his father.
