Yang Chengwu, the head of the Yanzhou Mansion, wore a patched straight jacket, a shabby hat, and a horizontal knife with a sheath sharpened to reveal the true color of leather, standing under the South City Gate with a tall chest, and a few fast hands holding whistle sticks standing next to him.

Yang Bantou hadn't worn such tattered clothes for a long time, and in order to find out this outfit, he also deliberately went to Shang Lao's fast house, which had been retired for many years.

In the past few days, Yanzhou Mansion has been noisy, and now the city gate is very depressed, Yang Bantou yawned, and was about to ask people to watch a little, he went to the city to take a nap, and suddenly dust flew in the distance.

Yang Bantou thought that it was a prefecture and county that sent grain, and he didn't feel angry in his heart: "Which of the hell is this, didn't the state government already make an official document, why do you still send things here?" ”

Yang Bantou was about to make people step forward to stop him, but suddenly found that something was wrong, how could it be like an army from a distance?

Yang Bantou put up a canopy and took a closer look, and sure enough, it was all the way with soldiers and horses, banners and banners, and the march was very fast. Yang Bantou was in shock, the team of people and horses had already arrived in front of him, and there were three or four horses in front of him, and there was a general sitting on the horse. Yang Bantou stepped forward in surprise and asked, "You are the government army of the skin guard, why did you enter the city?" ”

One person drove forward, wearing an indigo round-necked shirt woven with dark flowers, wearing a soapy folded scarf, and a honeysuckle belt around his waist, with "seven things" such as counting bags, waist knives, gravel stones, and flint bags hanging on it, which was clearly a military attache dress of more than five grades.

This person was very young, his eyes were like stars, elegant and handsome, he smiled at Yang Bantou, showed a mouthful of snow-white teeth, and said, "Yang Bantou doesn't recognize me?" ”

Yang Bantou looked at it fixedly, and couldn't help but say: "Ah! You...... You are...... Yang Dianshi? ”

Yang Fan smiled, pointed forward with a horsewhip, and said, "It's Yang." Get out of the way. ”

Yang Bantou ate and said: "Yang Dianshi is a ......, where did this soldier and horse come from?" ”

Yang Fan glanced at him and said lightly: "Yang Bantou, just do your part, there are some things that you shouldn't inquire." ”

Yang Ban's face was red, and he waved his hand to a few fast hands, and a few fast hands hurriedly moved away the obstacles in front of the city gate, Yang Fan whipped his horse, and the generals who rode horses hugged in, and the team behind them walked neatly. Fish rush in.

Yang Bantou watched this army of soldiers and horses enter the city, patted the back of his head suspiciously, and said to himself: "Look at him dressed as a fifth-grade official." I thought he was just a small follower in front of him, but I didn't expect that the rank of the Jingli pawn was so high, and he was a seven-rank official in front of the prime minister. It's true, we're also running errands. I can't compare with others......"

Zhang Changzong talked exaggeratedly. Witty words, but there is always a time when these words are finished, he casually made up nonsense for a long time, and seeing that Yang Fan had not yet arrived, he had to end the conversation and order the banquet to begin.

In the flower hall of the second courtyard of the Thorn Mansion, a sumptuous banquet was also set up. Xie Taishou, Ye Changshi and others accompanied Qin Cha to drink, Ye Luoyu had been a little worried, until the banquet had been opened at this moment, and there was nothing unusual. One of his hearts was put back in his belly.

Everyone ate a few dishes and drank a few glasses of wine, Xie Taishou and a group of officials accompanied Zhang Changzong out, and toasted to those old people one by one.

Zhang Changzong slowly finished saluting the main courtyard, and then moved to the "shantytown" outside the east cross courtyard, and there was still more than half of the wine in the cup, and every time he just touched his lips.

At this moment, a sign of people and horses in the distance came from afar, swords and guns were shining, and the guns and halberds were like a forest, and everyone looked at them one after another, with a stunned face.

The elders at each table got up one after another, looked at the scene in front of them in amazement, and saw that the group of officers and soldiers was running from afar, and before they reached the front of them, they divided left and right, and outflanked the entire "shantytown." Seeing this, the ancient Yamato and the ancient two immediately stood forward and squeezed away Xie Tingshi and Lu Beijia, who were standing on Zhang Changzong's left and right to accompany the toast.

Zhang Changzong said excitedly: "Are they coming? Without waiting for others to answer, he saw Yang Fan, Yang Fan and several government generals galloped closer, and they were dismounting and walking forward, followed by two teams of murderous officers and soldiers.

Zhang Changzong was overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward, Yang Fan immediately saluted him with his crossed hands, and said loudly: "The last general, Yang Fan, according to the order of the Qincha, led a total of 1,200 soldiers from the Fulu Mansion in Yanzhou to arrive, and I would like to follow Zhang Fengchen's orders!" ”

Yang Fan didn't want to be in the limelight, not to mention that some of the officials in Yanzhou Mansion had family backgrounds, and he should not offend his "behind-the-scenes boss" too much at present, even if he had connections with other officials in the DPRK and China, it was not good to pull this hatred on himself.

This show is in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. In the political environment that has been formed for thousands of years and emphasizes the collective and ignores the individual, no matter how great a person is, even if he is in power for a while, sooner or later he will be gnawed into white bones by a group of officials like ants eating elephants, and the fool who thinks that he can be invincible by hugging the emperor's thigh will be finished sooner or later.

Zhang Changzong's small physique of the jade tree Linfeng is a blood beef shield with a defense value of 1,000 percent in Yang Fan's heart, and it has been positioned as a living treasure of the meat shield from the beginning, so when will it be used if it is not taken out at this time?

Zhang Changzong didn't have this kind of awareness, as soon as he saw that Yang Fan was respectful to him, and handed over the arrest of Yanzhou officials to him, he was overjoyed, and immediately ordered: "Yang Fan listened to the order, and immediately arrested the official seal of Yanzhou Mansion, the second official, the chief official, the miscellaneous official, and all the officials up and down!" ”

After Zhang Changzong finished speaking, he realized that he was still holding a wine glass in his hand, and it was only dramatic to throw the glass at this time! Zhang Changzong didn't think about it, and immediately slammed the cup in his hand to the ground, shouting: "Do it!" The wine glass fell to the ground and shattered, this momentum is enough, but I don't know how much hatred this fall attracted.

"The last general obeys!"

Yang Fan was very cooperative, and received the order loudly, and Li Yi, the commander of the Fulu Mansion, laughed fiercely, waved the knife in his hand, and shouted: "Do it!" ”

A group of wolf-like generals rushed up, pressed Xie Taishou, Lu Beijia, Ye Changshi, Lin Sima and other officials to the ground, first removed their official clothes and hats, and then tied them with ropes, and their hands and feet were very neat.

Seeing this scene, the Quartet elders were only stunned, Yang Fan saw this, rushed to Zhang Changzong's side, and said in a low voice: "Zhang Fengchen, to the Quartet Elders." It is advisable to be appeased. ”

In the early arrangement, Yang Fan was always arbitrary, and Zhang Changzong was a little unhappy. Now that it's time to be in the limelight, Yang Fan is only looking at him everywhere, and the little unhappiness has long disappeared.

Zhang Changzong nodded to Yang Fan with satisfaction, took two steps forward, opened his arms, and said in a loud voice: "Don't panic, the elders of the Quartet, this official is ordered to take charge of the corrupt officials in Yanzhou, and has nothing to do with the fathers and elders." Today, I would like to invite you elders to testify. In addition, the official still entrusts the elderly, and the elders are a little restless, a little restless. ”

Ye Luoyu was pushed to the ground by several fierce Fulu Mansion guards, stripped off his official clothes, removed his head, and tied up a rope around his limbs like killing a pig, and his cheeks were pressed against the mud. stared at Yang Fan for a long time. Sigh gloomily. Slowly closed his eyes.

The entire Yanzhou Mansion is in a mess, and there are officers and soldiers arresting people everywhere, but fortunately, most of the officials with heads and faces are now assassinating the Shifu Mansion, and it is easy to arrest them. Among them, there are many indiscriminate arrests, such as doctors of literature, doctors of medicine, and some powerless "old officials". At this time, I didn't care about distinguishing, so I grabbed it first, and then let it go when I asked for my identity when I registered and made the register.

As for the petty officials, they are all small errands. Although Yang Fan has the heart to eliminate evil, he also understands that these people are the foundation of the government of a place, and they cannot be cut all with a hoe. What's more, these petty officials and errand officials are all "bad at the top, uneven at the bottom", if the officials are honest, they will not dare to do anything wrong, and if the officials are greedy, they will naturally have no integrity. It is still this virtue to change a group of people, where to find so many honest and self-disciplined gentlemen, it is to let them go.

When the officers and soldiers of Fulu Mansion copied all the way down the Thorn History Mansion and unexpectedly found the picturesque and magnificent deep mansion compound hidden in the jungle deep in the back house, they couldn't help but be shocked by the wealth of Xie Taishou. Just from the Xie family's back house, they copied out mountains of gold and jade treasures and countless wealth.

Of course, it is inevitable that the officers and men will take the sheep by the hand and touch some small belongings that are easy to hide and conceal. In fact, including the officers and soldiers of the Suizhou Shi Lie Department, who were stricter in governing the army, also had the behavior of making a small fortune when they confiscated the mansions of corrupt officials, this kind of thing was inevitable, Zhang Changzong was too lazy to care, and Yang Fan turned a blind eye.

From the very beginning, Yang Fan's plan was to only catch the first evil, catch the big tiger, and release the little mice. Moreover, when the commander was arrested and the army was stationed, some of them could only cry out in vain if they wanted to stir up trouble.

In addition, Yang Fan made an excuse in advance and summoned the "elders" of the group of officials directly under the jurisdiction of the village to Yanzhou Mansion to explain the situation to them, and they pacified the place before the court investigated the case and appointed new local officials. These people are all well-known figures in the local area, and they are themselves the patriarchs of the local powerful landlords, and they have always said the same thing in the countryside, so they can naturally stabilize the role of the locality, and a monstrous political storm has not caused a major turmoil in Yanzhou Mansion.

This is also a requirement that Wu Zetian instructed in advance. In the emperor's heart, the whole world belongs to hers, and no one is more eager and sincere to fight corruption than her. But officialdom is about politics, and the establishment of officials is originally to rule and serve politics, and she can't smash all the jars and jars of her house in order to beat a few big rats.

Zhang Changzong and Yang Fan stayed in Yanzhou for many days, until the imperial court sent another forbidden army to suppress the situation, and appointed new state officials such as Assassin Shi, Beijia, and Changshi, and the Criminal Department and Yushitai also sent a large number of personnel to deal with the aftermath.

From the feudal officials to the officials of the prefectures and counties, there were more than 60 people who were directly brought back to Beijing by Zhang Changzong and Yang Fan to ask for their crimes, and more than 10 people committed suicide in advance.

Although Zhou Xing and Lai Junchen, who are good at copying melons and vines, have turned into dust, this case is too important, and no official dares to neglect and neglect when handling the case, plus there are too many clues that can be found, and it is inevitable that this storm will spread to the surrounding areas.

At this time, Shen Mu had already rushed to Luoyang, and because of the influence of the political storm in Yanzhou officialdom, a more treacherous and complicated storm was faintly formed in the sky over Luoyang.

P: In the early hours of the morning, I sincerely ask for recommended tickets and monthly passes!.
