Sign In a Lu Bu Fengxian at the Beginning

Luoyang.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Zhou Chen looked at some news sent by Dongchang.

Nowadays, all places in the Great Zhou Dynasty are under the supervision of Dongchang. Any major disturbances in all places in the Great Zhou Dynasty will be reported back to Luoyang as soon as possible.

It can be said that Zhou Chen can know the world affairs without leaving the palace.

Seeing the news coming back from Donghuang, Zhou Chen nodded with satisfaction.

Although the Donghuang Hou came from a wealthy family, he was still very knowledgeable.

Instead of embarrassing the Household Department, they took the lead in cooperating with the Household Department to measure and count the land in Donghuang, which saved the Household Department a lot of trouble.

However, the Lingnan Song family seemed unwilling to cooperate with Xun Yu in measuring and counting their land, and there was no reply.

Zhou Chen picked up a piece of news next to him and raised his brows slightly.

This news came back from the Lingnan factory guard.

What it says above is that Xun Yu visited the Song family, but the Song family never responded.

Zhou Chen looked at the content of the message, glanced at Cao Zhengchun who was standing next to him, and said, "Dongchang, please pay more attention to the four gates during this period."

"I would like to see if the four great clans really have the guts not to cooperate with the imperial court."

After saying that, Zhou Chen put down the news in his hands and didn't pay attention.

The power has been let go, and this is not something Zhou Chen should worry about.

It was Xun Yu, the Minister of Household Affairs, who should worry about this.

If everything needs to be solved by the emperor Zhou Chen, then what is the use of the officials Zhou Chen wants to court.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Cao Zhengchun bowed.

That's right, Cao Zhengchun, the chief governor of Dongchang, has returned to Luoyang from Xiliang.

After Zhou Chen read the news sent by Dongchang, he didn't say anything more and started to deal with government affairs.

Cao Zhengchun, who was next to him, put away the news sent by Dongchang and retreated.

…

Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Punishment.

Wang Yangming, the Minister of Punishment, sat on the main seat.

Sitting below were four officials.

Since Prime Minister Yuan Bo and other officials from wealthy families were vigorously purged, the power of the wealthy families in the court has been weakened a lot.

Wang Yangming was Zhou Chen's new minister of punishment in order to appease the wealthy family. Wang Yangming was born in the Langxie Wang family.

The Langxie Wang family is also one of the seven great families in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

However, because the Langxie Wang family had not been involved in the affairs of the four northwest prefectures before, nor had they participated in the usurpation of the throne by the King of Shu.

Therefore, Zhou Chen did not deal aggressively with the Langxie Wang family.

However, Zhou Chen managed to clear up some of the unscrupulous officials of the Langxie family in the court.

Not only the Langxie Wang family, but also the other two of the other seven major families, Zhou Chen had also eliminated some of the officials who were bad sheep in the court.

"Wang Shangshu, Donghuanghou has taken the lead in cooperating with the Ministry of Household Affairs to measure and count their land."

"Now, what should each of us do?"

"Could it be that each of our families can only cooperate with the Ministry of Household Affairs to measure and count our land?"

An official said solemnly.

"Yes! Your Majesty is measuring and counting the land in the world. He must be thinking about the land."

"Land is the most important property of each of our families. Once His Majesty has made clear the measurements and statistics, if our families' land is to be touched, then how will our families survive?"

Another official spoke.

These people are all officials of aristocratic families, and they have their own aristocratic families behind them.

The Ministry of Revenue measures and counts all the land in the world. It doesn't matter that they jointly count some of the land under their names in Sili.

What they are really worried about is the family behind them.

If the imperial court measures and counts the land of each family behind them, and the one in the palace really wants to acquire land, then how will the families behind them survive?

When Wang Yangming heard what these two officials said, he sighed; "The situation is stronger than the people. You have all seen the Ministry of Revenue's previous measurement and statistics of the land in Luoyang Sili."

"Whether they are landowners, nobles or aristocratic families, anyone who does not cooperate will be put in Dongchang's prison."

"So, at this time, whoever dares not to cooperate with the court will definitely be struck by His Majesty's thunder."

"But, then again, some people's eating looks are really ugly. We all come from aristocratic families, but we are also officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"We all know how serious the land annexation in Dazhou is."

"This is a stubborn disease and a shortcoming of the Great Zhou Dynasty. His Majesty must have noticed this, so he issued an order to measure and count the land of the world."

"I have sent a message back to Langxie, suggesting that the clan should cooperate with the Ministry of Household's actions this time."

"What you plan to do is up to you."

That's all Wang Yangming can say.

Although the Langxie Wang family is also one of the seven great families in the Great Zhou Dynasty, among the four families that were killed by the imperial court, the Runan Yuan family and the Rongyang Zheng family, none of them is stronger than the Langxie Wang family.

But in the end!

These four aristocratic families have not all become victims of the imperial court.

Therefore, Wang Yangming saw it clearly.

Now, cooperating with the court is the only option.

Otherwise, they will follow in the footsteps of the four great families of the Yuan family in Runan.

"Wang Shangshu, aren't there still four great clans?"

"The strength of the four gatekeepers is not weak. If the four gatekeepers do not cooperate with the Ministry of Revenue, even His Majesty may not be able to do anything about it."

One official said with bright eyes.

The four great clans are the top aristocratic clans in Dazhou.

Although members of the clan do not enter the officialdom, no one dares to underestimate the power of the clan.

Even the imperial court is the same.

No way?

"hehe."

A sneer appeared on Wang Yangming's face; "The family is strong, but it is still inferior compared to the imperial court."

"You won't forget what happened to the Yuan family in Runan and the Zheng family in Rongyang!"

Wang Yangming's words caused the expressions of the four officials present to change involuntarily.

Although the four major families that had been inherited for many years were uprooted by the imperial court and the nine clans were annihilated, more than a month had passed.

But thinking about it now, the four of them still have lingering fears.

From the prime minister of the auxiliary country to the ordinary ministers.

How many officials were dismissed and purged.

It’s chilling to think about.

After Wang Yangming said this, the four of them also understood the current situation.

This is an irreversible trend.

Anyone who tries to buck the trend will be crushed to the bone.

…

Lingnan.

Fucheng, the government office lobby.

Xun Yu sat on the main seat and looked at some information about the landowners of the aristocratic families in Lingnan Mansion.

Below, the master of Lingnan Mansion stood there with an uneasy look on his face, beads of sweat already oozing out from his forehead.

In the past two days, the master of Lingnan Palace was really frightened and suffering.

He did not expect that the Minister of Household Affairs of the imperial court would be so bold. He measured and counted the land in Lingnan. Anyone who did not cooperate, no matter who he was, was arrested directly.

Even some members of the Song family were arrested.

This frightened the master of Lingnan Mansion quite a bit.

What is the Song family?

This is the uncrowned king of Lingnan Mansion and one of the four great clans of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Not to mention the territory of Lingnan, even in the entire Zhou Dynasty, the Song family was a being that should not be offended or provoked.

But Xun Yu happened to arrest someone from the Song family. Wasn't this going to put him, the head of the Lingnan Palace, on fire?

However, the master of Lingnan Mansion dared not complain.

Who said that Xun Yu was the Minister of Household Affairs of the imperial court? It is not something that he, the head of Lingnan Mansion, can object to.

As the saying goes, the first level of officialdom kills people, this is the truth.

What's more, there are people from Dongchang accompanying him.

"Palace Master Zhang, is this all the information about the landowners of the Lingnan Mansion family?"

"Why is there some discrepancy with the information Dongchang gave me?"

Xun Yu glanced at the master of Lingnan Mansion and asked.

"this……"

The master of Lingnan Mansion didn't know how to answer for a while.

Xun Yu put down the information in his hands, looked at the Palace Master of Lingnan Palace and said, "Palace Master Zhang, please prepare another detailed information for me about the landlords of the aristocratic families in Lingnan Palace."

"Remember, what I want is the information of all the aristocratic landowners in the entire Lingnan Mansion, including the aristocratic landowners in the county."

"I hope Palace Master Zhang will not make any mistakes for me this time."

Xun Yu looked at the master of Lingnan Palace expressionlessly.

The master of Lingnan Mansion said quickly, "Don't worry, Mr. Xun, I will definitely not make any mistakes this time."

"besides."

"The government office will start investigating the malicious annexation and occupation of people's land in Lingnan Prefecture from now on."

"No matter who it is, once they are identified, they will be arrested directly by this officer."

"Even the Song family is no exception, do you understand?"

Xun Yu looked straight at the master of Lingnan Palace and said with no doubt.

"Master Xun, this..."

"If you can't do this or that, I will ask Dongchang to leave a place for you."

"Do you think the court doesn't know about some of the things you have done over the years?"

Xun Yu didn't give the master of Lingnan Mansion a chance to hesitate, and said directly and coldly.

The master of Lingnan Mansion was shocked when he heard this, and more cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

This is really going to drag him, the master of Lingnan Mansion, into a deep hole!

You must know who is the person who can occupy and annex the people's land.

Either a landowner or a wealthy family.

Even the Song family has this situation.

If this was found out, would he, the little master of Lingnan Mansion, dare to arrest him?

"I obey your orders."

The master of Lingnan Mansion finally obeyed the order.

It's not that the master of Lingnan Mansion didn't know the depth and had such courage.

But the master of Lingnan Mansion knew that he had no choice now.

If he doesn't follow orders now, he will probably be captured immediately by Xun Yu and become a prisoner of his subordinates.

"Just do the work!"

Xun Yu waved his hand.

The master of Lingnan Mansion left with a sad face.

"Master Xun, the master of Lingnan Palace has also annexed and occupied some land. If you ask him to investigate, what results can he find out?"

After the master of Lingnan Mansion left, Cao Shaoqin walked out from the side.

"I didn't want him to find out anything."

"Our purpose is to measure and count the land, not to investigate and resolve cases."

Xun Yu said as he looked at the back of the master of Lingnan Palace leaving.

"By the way, is there any movement in the Song family yet?"

Xun Yu turned his head and looked at Cao Shaoqin.

Cao Shaoqin shook his head; "No, it has been three days, and there has been no movement from the Song family."

"Are we going to visit the Song Mansion again?" Cao Shaoqin looked at Xun Yu.

"Visit the Song Mansion again?"

"hehe."

A rare sneer appeared on Xun Yu's face.

"You don't think that I, the Minister of Household Affairs of the Great Zhou Dynasty, are really afraid of the Song family!"

"The family is good, but it is not qualified enough for me, Xun Yu, to go to the mansion for the second time."

"Since there is no response or movement from the Song family, let's follow the court's method!"

"The salute has been done, and the soldiers will follow."

A cold light flashed in Xun Yu's eyes.

Since leaving the Song Mansion that day, Xun Yu had already started measuring and counting the land in Lingnan.

Xun Yu never thought that the Song family would easily cooperate with the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Therefore, Xun Yu used those families who did not cooperate with the Ministry of Household Affairs to scare the monkeys in the past few days to remind the Song family that this was the result of not cooperating with the court.

Moreover, Xun Yu also arrested some fringe figures of the Song family to intimidate the Song family.

However, there is still no reply or movement from the Song family.

It seems that the Song family will not shed tears until they see the coffin.

Then Xun Yu no longer needs to be polite.

"Eunuch Cao, the Song family is a powerful family, and I don't know how many shady things are hidden behind it."

"How many people from the Song family are relying on the power of the Song family to do evil in Lingnan, bullying men and dominating women."

"Your Dongchang should have found out a lot in the past few days, so arrest them all!"

"I would like to see if the Song family can still sit still."

Xun Yu looked at Cao Shaoqin and said.

"This governor is just waiting for Master Xun's words."

Cao Shaoqin smiled softly, turned and left.

…

"Get out of my way. You dare to block my way. Are you seeking death?"

On the street, a young man in brocade clothes was riding a horse in the busy city.

Wherever they passed, they were running rampant, and the horsewhip in the hand of the young man in brocade was slapping passers-by from time to time.

It can be said to be extremely arrogant.

"bump."

The young man in brocade clothes riding a horse did not expect that someone would dare to take action against him.

Before he could react, the young man in brocade fell off his horse.

Two gleaming crescent knives were placed on his neck.

"take away."

As soon as he finished speaking, two factory guards in flying eagle uniforms escorted the young man in brocade clothes away.

"Audacious, who are you?"

"If you dare to touch me, do you want to die?

"Let me go quickly."

The young man in brocade struggled and shouted loudly.

"Haha, the people of the Song family are really quite arrogant."

"We in Dongchang are not as arrogant as you."

"Snapped."

The leading factory guard stepped forward and slapped the young man in brocade clothes, and said in a cold voice, "Be honest, others are afraid of your Song family identity, but our Dong Factory is not afraid of your Song family."

"If you dare to yell at me again, I will chop you up and feed you to the dogs."

The leading factory guard said fiercely.

Dongchang?

When the young man in brocade heard this, his expression also changed.

Obviously, the young man in Jinyi had heard of Dongchang.

"Damn it, you imperial eagle dog dares to hit me, you are dead..."

Before the young man in brocade could finish speaking, he was immediately blocked by factory guards and escorted out of the busy city.

This kind of thing happens in many places in Fucheng.

Those arrested were all members of the Song family, and those who took action were Dongchang factory guards wearing flying eagle uniforms.

The arrest of a member of the Song family was undoubtedly shocking news in Lingnan Mansion.

Many people were all talking about it.

No one thought that in this Lingnan area, there would be people who dared to touch the Song family.

It's really shocking.

You know, the Song family is the uncrowned king of Lingnan and one of the four great families of Zhou Dynasty.

In this Lingnan realm, it is definitely possible to walk sideways.

However, many people who knew the situation in Dongchang were relieved when they thought that it was someone from Dongchang who took action.

Perhaps most people in the Great Zhou Dynasty were afraid of the power of the Song family and did not dare to touch the people of the Song family, but this definitely did not include Dongchang.

Because Dongchang is the sword in the palace's hand, he only respects the imperial power and not others.
