Cao Ye got off his horse and knelt under the driver.

He bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, the Fan family has long had nothing to do with the Chen family..."

"The Chen family has already returned the body contract to the Fan family..."

"It must be the Fan family, who is doing whatever they want under the banner of the Chen family!"

Zhao Xu looked at him, and after he finished speaking, he smiled and said, "Don't worry... I don't blame the Qing family!"

"Don't tell me, the Fan family has nothing to do with the Qing family... Even if it is related, how can I blame my uncle?"

Cao Yi, the prince of Jiyang County, was the younger brother of Ci Sheng Guangxian and the most trusted relative of Zhao Xu's father during his lifetime.

At the same time, the Cao family also had a close relationship with the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Xiang.

I would like to express my gratitude to the Queen Mother to the Cao family so far.

Of course, Zhao Xu would not vent his anger on the Cao family over such a trivial matter.

So, he smiled and said: "Please get up and speak..."

Cao Ye then stood up tremblingly.

He knew very well in his heart that the wealth of the Cao family actually depended on his relationship with His Majesty.

reason?

Very simple!

His grandfather is already over seventy!

How many days can his old man protect the Cao family from wind and rain?

Once my grandfather dies, the bond that maintains the Cao family and the royal family will no longer exist.

The wealth you have now will be like a passing cloud.

His grandfather and father had already taught him this.

Therefore, he dare not not pay attention to every performance he performs in front of the emperor.

Not to mention the Fan family, it's just a dog raised by the Cao family.

Even if a member of the Cao family offends the officials, Cao Ye will decisively cut them off.

"Your Majesty..." Cao Ye lowered his head and was about to defend himself.

Zhao Xu smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, Qing..."

"I just asked you to come and take a look..."

"I'm not here to ask anyone's sins this time, nor am I here to cause trouble for anyone..."

"I took you and others to discover the problem, found the problem, and then brainstormed together to find a way to solve the problem!"

Cao Ye listened and took a deep breath: "Your Majesty's holy grace... I... I... I am grateful..."

What he fears most is that the officials will not let go of this matter, and then the Yushitai will expand the scope of the attack and drag the Cao family into trouble.

When the time comes, I'm afraid his grandfather will have no choice but to enter the palace with a shameless face and apologize in front of the two palaces.

And for things like favor, every time you use it, you lose it.

Zhao Xu smiled and said to him: "Please come with me and take a look..."

"No!" Cao Ye seemed to be pardoned.

Zhao Xu then stepped down from the imperial chariot under Feng Jing's service.

Then, under the escort of Yu Longzhi led by Yan Yuan, they arrived in front of the illegally built residence.

The other accompanying banquet officials, accompanying readers, and ministers all followed.

Zhao Xu stepped forward and picked up the wine flag that fell on the ground.

The wine flag reads: Lamb Wine Fan Family!

Under the text, a wine jar is drawn.

Zhao Xu looked at it with a smile and commented: "Yes, this wine flag is more beautiful than other people's wine flags!"

Everyone on the left and right lowered their heads, and no one dared to answer the question.

Zhao Xu looked at the imperial army that surrounded this residential area at the gap in the wall.

"Commander Yan!" Zhao Xu asked Yanda opposite: "How much space does this residence occupy?"

Yanda paid his respects and said, "Your Majesty, this residence occupies an area about ten paces long..."

Zhao Xu nodded, and then looked at the facade. The walls made of bricks and stones were painted with some lime.

There is a fork in front of the gate, and there are some empty wine jars on both sides of the threshold. There are about a dozen of them.

If you look carefully, you will find that these wine jars must have been sold out in just one or two days.

Because, Zhao Xu smelled the aroma of wine wafting from these empty jars.

Don't tell me, it tastes good.

Zhao Xu turned around and looked at the ministers in front of him.

"I heard that Tai Shigong said: All the bustle in the world is for benefit, and the hustle and bustle in the world is for benefit!"

"It is human nature for merchants to come for profit and leave for profit..."

"However, when doing business, merchants should also follow benevolence and justice, as well as etiquette!"

Zhao Xu looked at Cai Jing: "Kaifeng Mansion..."

"I'm here..." Cai Jing came forward immediately.

"Please write a note first and post it on the door of this house..."

"Order it to be demolished within a time limit and restore the ring road to its original state!"

"Obey!" Cai Jing obeyed the order and left.

He quickly wrote a note on the spot, stamped it with the official seal of Kaifeng Mansion, and posted it on the door of the house.

Zhao Xu saw this, nodded, and then said to Cai Jing: "On this trip, in the ring road, all illegally built houses, you will follow the law!"

"I obey the decree!" Cai Jing immediately bowed his head and swore in his heart that he would handle this matter properly.

Let the official family's face greatly increase!

He already knows how to operate it.

Interview the relevant families and ask them to take the initiative to demolish and restore them.

Then you can praise the official virtues!

As long as it is done well, this matter can almost be compared to the time when Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty released the prisoners on death row and returned home, and then the prisoners on death row returned to Beijing as promised and were willing to die.

What is this called?

Political correctness!

It is also a good story between the king and the people!

All the scholar-bureaucrats in the world will like this story.

Cai Jing thought and took a deep glance at the young official in front of him.

At a young age, he has already mastered the subtleties of imperial power.

"Then please wait, please continue moving forward with me..."

"Today, let's go around the inner ring of Bianjing first..."

So the imperial driver continued to move forward, along the old Song Gate and westward to the old Zheng Gate.

This section of the road has more illegal buildings.

Just a thousand steps along the road, there are more than a dozen illegal buildings.

Anyone who dares to build illegally on the inner ring road is naturally not a small person.

Behind the scenes is either a relative of a certain family or a distinguished minister.

Zhao Xu just looked at the stickers on Cai Jing's family quietly.

Then, he stopped in front of the old Song gate.

Zhao Xu ordered Feng Jing to call over all the accompanying officials, accompanying readers, and ministers from Kaifeng Mansion.

When the ministers arrived in front of the imperial chariot, they naturally saluted and said hello.

Zhao Xu was sitting in the royal chariot and said to everyone: "Today, you have been with me to inspect Bianjing for an hour or two!"

"It's time to get tired and exhausted..."

"Come with me out of the city to enjoy the flowers and play at the Qionglin Banquet..."

It’s almost time to tour the city today.
