Chapter 1505 Depends on a Word
As soon as Zhu Xu finished speaking, a secret guard captain walked out from behind him, took out the Great Inner Palace card, and looked straight at Wang Zhou's face, and said in a deep voice, "I am the Great Inner Guard, all the officers and soldiers of the patrol battalion obey the order!"
As soon as these words came out, the private room was quiet.
Zhou Yaozhi stared at Zhu Xu deeply, his eyes flashed, and he was shocked and suspicious.
Is the Great Insider? Who is this person? How could he have the Great Insider who is protected by him? Which noble family is he?
Zhou Yaozhi's face was so panic that he couldn't hide his panic. He couldn't guess clearly. Who could have the big inner guard to protect him?
Zhou Yaozhi was shocked, and the others became even more uneasy. Da Nei was a place they couldn't look up to, and their expressions changed and they became frightened.
Wang Zhou's face was indifferent, staring at the palace sign in front of him, his pupils shrank slightly.
The soldiers of the patrol battalion behind him were stunned. They had never seen the big guards, nor had they had the chance to see this sign. They didn't know how to deal with it, and they all looked at Wang Zhou.
Wang Zhou stared at the palace sign for a while, looked up at Zhu Xu, and his expression was still indifferent, saying, "I don't know if your palace sign is true or false, but it is true that you trespassed into a restaurant and beat others. You can also not go to the patrol camp. I'll send you to the Criminal Prison Division, so you should rest assured."
Zhu Xu looked at Wang Zhou and was amazed and said, "I enforce the law impartially, be selfless, be mighty and unyielding, calm and modest. He is simply a model. Well, I really want to submit the court to the court and give you a good reward."
This Wang Zhou is really amazing. He never had a slight handle to catch from beginning to end. If he really takes accountability seriously, he will have no way to do anything to him.
Wang Zhou looked indifferent and said, "This lieutenant still has to continue patrolling the streets. If you don't have time to delay, go and go with me to the Criminal Prison Division. According to the regulations, I would like to remind you: If you do not obey and resist the law by force, I can kill you on the spot. No matter what your identity is, you don't have to bear any responsibility. I am the fourth team here. As long as there is any movement, four more teams will soon come around, one hundred elite patrol battalions soldiers!"
Zhu Xu looked at Wang Zhou with his hands behind his back and smiled with emotion: "Since ancient times, the most difficult thing to deal with is probably you lower-level officials with real power. They are selfless and have no handle to catch them. They can do the most dirty things, like loaches, without any handicap, and without any oil or salt..."
Wang Zhou's expression was always indifferent, but the evil aura on his body seemed to be increasing. He directly interrupted Zhu Xu's words and said, "I will write down these words as well. It is a piece of evidence of your crime. I will give you another chance. If you don't leave, I will order to take someone and bear the consequences."
The soldiers of the patrol battalion behind him were half-sheathed, and the cold light was shining. They obeyed Wang Zhou and did not think that what Wang Zhou said was wrong. They even vaguely realized that the group of people opposite them were delaying time.
Zhu Xu looked at Wang Zhou and nodded slightly, saying in no way whether it was a praising or a mocking voice: "Do you think I'm delaying time? I'm worried that Chi Ze will change? You're thinking too much. You can't take these dozen people under me. If more patrol camps and street guards come over, they dare not ignore the palace signs of the Great Inner Guard. Do you think you're doing nothing to do with you? If you don't talk about the past, there will definitely be clues, and I will definitely be able to find them out. Now, if I take him down, how long do you think he can carry it? Does he have a handle on your hands? Or, those people around you can be as meticulous as you, and can't get oil in, and can withstand the great punishment?"
Wang Zhou listened to Zhu Xu's words, his eyes were pounding coldly, and his murderous intent was boiling, and he no longer covered it up.
Wang Zhou knew his identity and status clearly. If the big man above wanted to kill him, he could just move his fingers. Obviously, the person in front of him had this ability!
Even if he takes this person today, the people behind him will be able to easily let Wang Zhou die without a place to die!
Wang Zhou's face was cold, but he secretly hated him. Zhou Yaozhi was usually so calm and smart, so why did he provoke such a difficult person?
Zhou Yongzhi kept staring at Zhu Xu, watching him confront Wang Zhou. At this time, he finally couldn't help but feel uneasy and said in a low voice: "Who are you!?"
Zhu Xu turned his head and looked at Zhang Yun leisurely and said, "Are you tired?"
Zhang Yun likes to see Zhu Xukai talk the most. He pursed his lips and smiled and said, "I'm not tired."
Zhu Xu looked at the little guy again and said to Wang Zhou: "They were detained in the patrol camp. There would be people from the Criminal Prison Division to take over at night. In a few days, I will arrange for you to go to the Law Enforcement Bureau and give you a good seat."
Wang Zhou stared at Zhu Xu, his eyes flashing endlessly.
Zhu Xu held his hands behind his back, calm and composed.
Zhou Yaozhi's face was gloomy and his heart was full of anger. Since childhood, no one has despised him like this!
Zhou Yongzhi stared at Zhu Xu and said, "Do you really think you can eat me? Let me tell you, no matter who you are or how big your background is, you are dead! I will watch you die little by little!"
Zhu Xu ignored Zhou Yaozhi and kept looking at Wang Zhou.
Wang Zhou looked cold and looked at Zhu Xu with a sudden look of shock. He bent his knees and knelt on his ground with a thump, and said in a deep voice: "The villain follows the order!"
Wang Zhou's voice was all the way, and the whole hall was quiet.
Zhou Yaozhi's face changed drastically, his eyes widened, and he looked at Zhu Xu incredibly.
The others seemed to have seen something extremely frightened, opening their mouths wide and trembling violently.
Especially Zhou Yaozhi's young servant, who was trembling, had a pale face without a trace of blood, and his legs were trembling, and he was about to kneel down.
Zhu Xu looked at Wang Zhou kneeling on the ground and said, "How did you recognize me?"
Wang Zhou knocked on the ground and said, "Only the emperor can modify the laws of the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Xu gently rubbed his right hand behind him, and knew in his heart that it was probably the palace card and a series of dialogues that made Wang Zhou see the flaw.
He had no intention of hiding it. He had arranged this Wang Zhou as a temporary idea, but now, he felt that this person seemed to be able to use it.
Zhu Xu was calculating and said, "This week's father, Li Rongbing, has been detained by the cabinet, but the outside world doesn't know."
Wang Zhou immediately responded and said, "Don't worry, my elders, I will use my family's life to guarantee that today's incident will not be spread at all!"
Zhu Xu said "yes" and turned around and left without a second sentence.
He only has one sentence to such a small matter.
As soon as Zhu Xu left, the secret guards beside him naturally followed, and the private room was suddenly much empty.
Wang Zhou stood up from the ground, turned slowly, wiped the ashes on his head, and looked at Zhou Yaozhi with a expressionless face.
Zhou Yaozhi was panicked and his mind was empty for a moment.
If you offend the Ming Emperor, there is no way out!
Zhou Wuzhi was in a state of lordship. Looking at Wang Zhou with a cold face, he suddenly said with a sinister expression: "Wang Zhou, don't forget, you took my money and I'll expose you. You will be sentenced to death. The whole family will be exiled to Japan!"
Wang Zhou looked at him with a cold look in his eyes and said, "Do you really think you can control me? If you are smart, you will rot everything about me into the coffin, otherwise I will let your outdoor rooms and children wait for you earlier."
Zhou Yaozhi's eyes widened, his chest was so angry that it was so violent that he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, okay! I was blind before and underestimated you! But do you think the emperor really appreciates you? You are just a knife he used to use temporarily. It's useless. You will die more miserable than me!"
Wang Zhou said lightly: "I know, so I will show my value to the emperor in the future. The greater my value, the longer I will live. When it comes to the day when I deserve to die, I can choose how to die."
Zhou Yaozhi stared at Wang Zhou with blood-red eyes, with a ferocious expression, and said, "I really underestimated you before. Tell me, what do you need to let me go? I will never come back in my life. I will disappear from the world. There will be no news about me again. You can rest assured!"
Wang Zhou looked at him and sneered, saying, "I used to think you were a smart person, but now it seems that's the case! You are my letter of fame to the emperor. Do you think I might let you go?"
Zhou Yaozhi felt very hatred. Why did he bribe such a deep-minded and vicious thing like a scorpion when he was blind?
"Do you really want to kill the death?" Zhou Yongyi said word by word.
Wang Zhou did not look at him, his eyes fell on the young servant beside him with a pale face and panic on his face and said indifferently, "There should be many people like you. I can dig out all your affairs and I can also plug my loopholes. You may not have seen the dark prison of the patrol camp. I can be sure that you can't withstand the punishment inside. There will be no word on the evidence that is not conducive to me, and you will not be able to meet the person you want to meet alive. If you want to be more happy, do what I said."
Before Zhou Yaozhi could speak, the young man beside him knelt down, climbed to Wang Zhou, and said anxiously: "Mr. Wang, I listen to you, I listen to you. I know many things about Zhou Yaozhi, and who knows everything. I can tell you, please go around my life, around my life..."
Those rich and noble people seemed to wake up suddenly, knelt down one after another, climbed to Wang Zhou's feet, and said anxiously: "Mr. Wang, please spare us, let us go, we have nothing to do with Zhou Yongzhi. At most, there are some business dealings. We are willing to explain and explain everything. We are willing to pay money. Please let us go, let us go..."
Wang Zhou's expression seemed to have always been so cold. Looking at the behavior of these people, he turned to Zhou Yaozhi and said, "Think clearly. Should I do it, or should you follow me obediently?"
Zhou Yaozhi did not give up so easily. He thought he was smart. Even when he reached this situation, he thought he had the means to escape.
As long as he goes out of the sea, the sea will be wide and the fish will leaps. No one can do anything to him! Although he has lost the wealth of the Ming Dynasty, he still has an asset in Japan, which is enough for him to make a comeback, change his name and continue to enjoy the glory!
Zhou Yaozhi's face was gloomy and his eyes were flashing. He knew that he had to leave even if he didn't leave today. The key was to contact some people and find ways to rescue him at certain special moments.
Fortunately, when I heard Zhu Xu's words just now, I seemed to have to deliberately hide them for a while, and this time was just right for him to plan!
Zhou Yongzhi forced him to calm down, walked forward, and snorted coldly with resentment, "You can't lock me up, wait for me to come out!"
Wang Zhou glanced at him and didn't care at all.
He now has an emperor as his backer, who can touch him? This week, he seems smart, but in fact he is the most stupid. He has done so many ups and downs, and he is really a blind man in the court, and he is really aware that the emperor, who has not had much movement in the past few years, is sleeping in the palace?
After so many years of ascending the throne, there are a few who jump out and jump around, either of whom they are broken into pieces and die without a place to die!
Wang Zhou escorted Zhou Yongzhi and others into the dark prison of the patrol camp. Zhou Yingqiu had received a message from Zhu Xu before that and ordered his aide Chu Yun to go out for a walk. He saw a few more people, and the matter was quietly controlled.
Zhou Yongzhi and others were the representatives of the people who had the most outspokenness when it came to fetching the court.
As soon as his sudden disappearance was fine for a short time, but over time, all kinds of panic gradually spread, and then it became a panic atmosphere in the entire huge team of "fleece".
I don’t know how many pairs of eyes were staring at the court in the Ming Dynasty. I wanted to know when the court would start the acquisition. The goods they detained were increasing, the costs were increasing, and they were panicked and couldn’t bear it.
In mid-April, Fu Changzong had already arrived in Suzhou Prefecture and met a group of officials of all sizes.
On this day, he and Qin Zhengyi were strolling between a ridge outside Suzhou Prefecture.
Qin Zhengyi was the right senator of Southern Zhili, and was the first official from the Zhengyuan department to enter the provincial sequence.
Due to his outstanding performance, the entire Zhengyuan Department was in full swing. More than a dozen people had broken through the barriers and entered a government office. Countless officials from Zhengyuan Department became county magistrates, which was particularly common in the north.
Qin Zhengyi did not become an official this time, but instead took the title of deputy leader of the "Suyanghang Agricultural Reform Demonstration Zone". As the executive director, there are a total of five leaders in this reform group, Fu Changzong, Qin Zhengyi, and the other three are the prefects of Su Yanghang's three prefectures.
As the team leader, Fu Changzong said while walking: "The fierce, concentrated and large-scale land annexation of Suzhou Prefecture are the most important in the Ming Dynasty and need to be corrected seriously."
Qin Zhengyi was the prefect of Hangzhou before, and now he has been appointed as the deputy team leader, so he has done his homework in advance, saying: "Yes, the tax grain in Suzhou Prefecture accounts for one-third of the southern Zhili. Since the tenth year of Wanli, the loss of tax grain has become increasingly serious. The current tax grain amount is less than 50% of the Wanli period. Although there is a natural disaster, the gentry merger is due to tax evasion, which has the greatest relationship."
The tenth year of Wanli, that is, the year when Zhang Juzheng died.
Fu Changzong did not comment on the history after Zhang Juzheng's death, and said carefully: "Suzhou is the richest place in the Ming Dynasty and the most problematic place. We must be prepared carefully. I have obtained the authorization of the cabinet, and the management rights of the three governments will be temporarily handed over to our group, including the Commerce and Taxation Bureau, the Supervisory Yuan, the Dali Temple, the Law Enforcement Bureau, the Price Bureau, and the contacts with other institutions, the five departments, the cabinet, and the relationship with government offices and groups at all levels will be controlled by us and will not be subject to local jurisdiction..."
Simply put, the three prefectures of Su Yanghang were temporarily assigned to the cabinet directly under the jurisdiction of the cabinet, and the cabinet authorized Fu Changzong's group to manage it. The same is true for all rights, and it has nothing to do with the local provincial governors.
Qin Zhengyi understood the weight and followed Fu Changzong and said, "Yes, the officials have made some plans. The first step is to prohibit all land leases, transfers, and transactions, clear all land in the three governments, clarify land ownership, and register all households in parallel. At the same time, agricultural canals, etc. will be repaired and planned before the summer arrives. The second step is to force repurchase the land and make reasonable land distribution to ensure that the land is fully utilized, and it is possible to accept some disaster victims and enrich the population of the three governments. The third step is to carry out comprehensive rectification of the administration and commerce, and strive to initially complete the requirements of the "new policy" within three years, and to complete and consolidate the "new policy" within five years to ensure that there will be no rebound..."
These are just verbal reports, so specific plans are naturally more complicated than this, and a big book will be thicker when written.
Fu Changzong looked at the lush fields and breathed the fresh air. He felt a little relieved and said, "The Cabinet will issue a decree in three days to prohibit some land transactions. In addition, the Price Bureau and the Law Enforcement Bureau are already preparing and will take action soon. We must prepare in advance. The three governments of Su Yanghang are the key points. They cannot be caught by others. They will be sloppy before they even start..."
Qin Zhengyi quickly raised his hand and said, "Don't worry, the officials have summoned the prefects of the three prefectures and included hundreds of people from the Zhengyuan and other institutions, government and the government, and the government, etc. on the consultation list. We must organize a complete and efficient reform plan..."
Fu Changzong looked up and saw endless fields intersecting and crisscrossing until the sky.
