Chapter 412: wipe clean

Chapter 412 Eat dry and wipe clean

Zhu Biao suddenly thought of something again, and said to Fang Liangpin who was stunned: "By the way, the other state capitals have to follow suit. We can't just let Pingliang Prefecture take care of everything alone. The magistrate thinks Woolen cloth?"

Fang Liangpin took a deep look at Zhu Biao, then got up and said to Tang Shizhong: "Commander Tang, let's not mention this matter for the time being, the guard can also be in charge of you for the time being, but the disaster relief food stored in the guard has to be moved." Go to Fucheng, otherwise the hundreds of thousands of disaster victims will have no food to eat.

Wang Liu, who had reached the door, also stopped and turned his head and said, "Hundreds of thousands of disaster victims are waiting to be fed. Commander Tang, don't be fooled by your greed. You will be responsible for the civil uprising that happened when you got greedy for money and went astray!"

Tang Shizong said coldly: "Didn't you tell the imperial envoy earlier that the relief food is stored in the guard to prevent accidents, so you are not afraid now?"

Fang Liangpin explained: "When moving to Fucheng, General Wang will also lead the army to take care of it, and now more and more food is being consumed for disaster relief. We had planned to move the relief food back to Fucheng."

Tang Shizhong waved his hand and said: "Pingliang Prefecture has these porridge stoves for disaster relief. It would not be too much trouble to get as much food as it needs in a day, and it will send military guards from the government to assist in disaster relief."

At this time, Fang Liangpin's face darkened, and he looked hard at Chen Yunze and Tang Shizhong who were sitting upright. His years of experience as an official reminded him that something was wrong.

The dead one is indeed Wang Shijian, who dares to make a fuss about the life of the imperial envoy? But the current situation is very strange, Fang Liangpin suddenly came back to his senses, in just a short while, they have lost all their bargaining chips.

Wang Liu's complexion is also ashen, the guard occupies a favorable location, and now even if he goes crazy and leads the guard's army to counterattack, it is impossible to take down the guard guarded by the government army guards. With a wave of guns, cannons, bows and crossbows, less than 20,000 to 30,000 people would never want to capture it .

Zhao Guangsheng and the others also looked at Zhu Biao with a smile on the side in doubt. Are they really being tricked? Could it be that Chen Yunze was the bait sent by His Royal Highness to catch them?

A group of people wanted to talk, but they were forcibly pushed out by the guards of the government army. A few imperial envoys outside the guard who had been unable to get in hurriedly surrounded them and asked anxiously. Fang Liangpin looked around and said: " Go back to Fucheng first, and then we can negotiate!"

At this time, dozens of horse-drawn carriages came, and the marks on the carriages obviously belonged to the Chen family. The wind blew through the side curtains, and the sunlight reflected a silver-white light. Inside was the fifty thousand taels they sent yesterday. silver.

Chen Rongyan, who had disappeared inexplicably just now, jumped off the carriage and bowed towards them warmly, then Shi Shiran led the convoy into the guard camp. Fang Liangpin trembled, looked up at the fiery sun, and saw He passed out.

At this time, Zhu Biao was already sitting in the upper position in the main tent of the guard, and Tang Shizhong stood below with some doubts and said: "The overall situation is settled, why don't your highness let the general take them down directly?"

Zhu Biao replied: "They are all turtles in a urn. If you don't make a move, it will be fine. If you make a move, it will be thunderous, otherwise there will be more accidents. I have no time to waste with them."

Zhu Biao then ordered: "The food relief side must be strictly guarded. Sometimes one thing can't be covered up, so deliberately make a bigger one. The more people resist the big one, the less pressure it will be. "

Today's affairs went very smoothly. It can be said that the overall situation has been decided. What Zhu Biao needs to think about now is the aftermath. The local administrative system can be declared abolished.

How to manage the hundreds of thousands of disaster victims? There is nothing wrong with the current officials being corrupt officials, but they have indeed maintained the balance in the disaster area, so that no large-scale riots and civil uprisings have broken out so far.

The fundamental purpose of Zhu Biao's coming here is to help the victims, and the second is to kill corrupt officials.

Zhu Biao currently only has five thousand military guards in his hands, and more than ten thousand elites from Cao Liangchen's side, but these people are good at fighting, but not good at appeasing the people.

What's more, they are not good birds, maybe the government army and guards are not so good, but the soldiers brought by Cao Liangchen are basically the same as Wang Liu's guard soldiers. Operation only.

Of course, these soldiers are not good at being responsible for disaster relief, but it is okay to supervise the relief officers from the sidelines. If they can’t get it themselves, they don’t want others to embezzle it. This is also human nature.

What's more, Zhu Biao also found that the wealth gathered by these people was indeed far beyond his expectations. If it was a house raid, it would be impossible to recover all of it. my home.

Zhu Biao is very greedy for this money. He is not short of money, but the reconstruction after the Shaanxi-Gansu disaster requires money, and there is a big gap in the government's finances. Especially the food for the disaster relief was originally collected from the Jiangnan gentry, and it will be returned after three years. , This is related to the credibility of the imperial court, and it is impossible to renege on the debt.

So it is necessary to get back all the benefits of their corruption through negotiation. If Zhu Biao reveals his identity now, he can get back 80% of the money in Pingliang Mansion, but what about Fengxiang Mansion and Qingyang Mansion?

Officials who break the law cannot escape, and they know that no one in their family can escape, but the money they get does have the opportunity to give to their illegitimate children raised outside, the kind of illegitimate children that the Yi tribes cannot find.

At this time, the two brothers Chen Rongyan also came in, bowed to Zhu Biao above and said: "See Your Highness, Your Highness Qianqiu!"

Zhu Biao waved his hands and said: "You two have worked hard too. You have walked this journey with me. I know the credit for your hard work, but now you still have to finish the finishing work."

Chen Rongyan and Chen Bingxian kowtowed and said: "It is the duty of my Chen family to be loyal to His Highness, and I dare not covet other things."

Zhu Biao smiled. These words were polite, but he was always happy to hear them. Chen Rongyan had done a lot of credit. He took good care of him all the way. , It also violates the way of the imperial court.

These Zhu Biao knew it well, and after a period of calculation, he ordered: "It's not easy for me to see them anymore, so I'll let you come forward, whether you understand them with reason, or threaten or lure them, you must get rid of the oil and water on them." Squeeze it all out."

Chen Rongyan readily agreed, he was born as a businessman, and this is what he likes to do the most. In the current situation, I want to kill the fish that the other party is powerless to resist, so I naturally want to eat them up.
