Dominate the Country

ps: Second update, please collect and recommend!

Zhuge Miao Town, Guanjia.

Just as the Chen family was being pushed into danger step by step, the Guan family's main house, another target of Li Zhao, was also disturbed by a sudden letter.

This letter was written by He Huazhang. Yes, it was He Huazhang who harmed Gao Yanming and Chen Jigong.

This guy, who the Chen family searched all over Lushan County but couldn't find any clues about, checked into an inn not far from the Guan family mansion openly, and then reached out to ask for money from Guan Heze.

His capital is his mouth! A mouth that can closely connect the popular Ruzhou affair with the Guan family. As long as he comes forward and says that it was Guan Heze who asked him to do what he did in the first place, the reputation of the Guan family will be completely ruined. This 'stinky smell' will quickly spread from Ruzhou to Guan Lin in Kaifeng Mansion, and then the future of the Guan family will be completely gone.

Li Zhao used this to provoke the Chen family and the Guan family to fight again, but he failed, but he was still able to trick Guan Heze into a trap.

In Lushan County, Li Zhao cooperated with Chang Rui to manage the Chen family, and in Baofeng County, he naturally cooperated with the magistrate of Baofeng County to manage the Guan family. It's just that the magistrate of Baofeng County didn't do enough, or that this gentleman was not as greedy as Chang Rui. He took the bait with just one fish. Baofeng County just cut off a piece of meat in Zhugemiao Town and left. He should share a lot of copper with Li Zhao, but Li Zhao could not expect to exert such great influence on the magistrate of Baofeng County as he did on Chang Rui.

The magistrate of Baofeng County is an old official who has been in office for two years, and he has mastered everything that Baofeng County can control. Unlike Chang Rui, who had only been in office for a month or two, he relied on Li Tianhe and Chen Hui to support many things before, and as a classic, Li Tianhe was Li Zhao's person. There is no other ‘Li Tianhe’ in Baofeng County Government!

Li Zhao was just a fellow state official, and he was not so powerful that every county official had his subordinates.

In the main hall, Guan Heze had a gloomy face and stopped talking, while his eldest son Guan Song was running around anxiously. This is not related to Guan Lin alone, it is also related to the third generation. If He Huazhang doesn't hold the door open, the entire Guan family will be doomed.

"Dad, how about I go kill that person named He..." Guan Song leaned in front of Guan Heze and whispered, rubbing the knife with his right hand and gesticulating fiercely under Guan Heze's eyes.

"Stupid. Do you think there is no one behind He Huazhang?" Guan Heze blew his beard and glared. His eldest son is half a hundred years old, why can't he grow some brains?

Guan Song's face turned red: "Yes, but that can't be done without He's blackmail."

Guan Heze sighed in pain, the Guan family was in big trouble. It's ridiculous that I was gloating about the Chen family's misfortune the day before yesterday, but now the Guan family is also suffering from the same disaster. Guan Heze couldn't help but complain about the Chen family in his heart. You said that your surname was Chen. You knew about this matter early and came up with an 'official conclusion'. You delayed and delayed, and finally dragged down the whole family. Guan family!

…

Lushan County.

Above the county government hall, Chen Gang was knocked to the ground by two government officials with sticks. They stepped forward and held him down. Chen Gang's eyes widened, "It's an insult to gentlemen, it's an insult to gentlemen. I'm a great scholar with a great reputation. How dare Chang Rui, the dog officer, dare to insult me??" Chen Gang was about to go crazy, and Chang Rui actually asked the Yamen servant to beat him with a stick. You have to put yourself in prison.

Chang Rui, who was standing above the court, smiled coldly, ignoring Chen Gang's angry eyes, "How dare a young scholar roar in the court. You have adopted his family, and if you study hard behind closed doors, I am prepared to spare you." Once. In the end, you are looking for death. Scholar, what about the scholar? Since I have beaten you, I will not let you wear the title of scholar on your head."

"Child Chen Gang, please listen carefully to this county. Within ten days, this county will make your head bald!" Looking at the back of Chen Gang who was being escorted away, Chang Rui smiled disdainfully. If it hadn't been a waste of time traveling to and from Kaifeng, he would have revoked Chen Gang's reputation as a scholar.

In ten days at most, Hatu can rush back to Lushan. With the approval of the great master, he can immediately cut Chen Gang into a blank slate. As for whether the academic administration of the province is willing to give him face, Chang Rui is not worried at all. His reputation as a small county magistrate may not be recognized by the Grand Master, but what about his wasted money? With three hundred taels of silver and the dignity of his bannermen, I don't have to worry about the Grand Master not spitting out his words.

Chang Rui's arrogance spread throughout Lushan that day. Chen Gang still had the reputation of being a scholar, but he dared to throw him into prison directly and clamored to cut Chen Gang into a blank slate within ten days. Chang Rui is so overbearing and overbearing! But when the news came out, no gentry stood up to argue for Chen Gang, and even the county's edicts stayed behind closed doors. It was Gao who brought people to the gate of the county government to make a fuss, but it was of no use.

"Dog officer, dog officer. This dog officer just wants the lives of everyone in my Chen family!" Facing Gao Pengqi, the disheveled Gao screamed angrily at the top of his lungs, his hands and feet trembling with anger.

Similarly, this news was also sent back to Tumenji as quickly as possible. Everyone in the Chen clan fell silent. Chang Rui has used practical actions to express his attitude. He is ready to kill the Chen family. One of the people who was reported to Tumenji was Dongxiang, the head of the county government arrest. Zhou Tianyi didn't raid the Chen family in the county seat, but brought a squad of 30 strong men, as well as a group of policemen and white servants, to gather together. One hundred twenty or thirty people rushed towards Tumenji.

This Zhuangban is the civilian Zhuang. According to the establishment of a county government, there are not many civilian Zhuang. Take Lushan County as an example. There are a total of 65 people in the three classes of Yamen, including 35 in the Zhuangban. But that is only the establishment of the court. The county government during the Qing Dynasty was more of a "temporary worker". Generally speaking, a formal Yamen often has three or four "white servants" under him. Usually, there are hundreds of Yamen in a small county, and thousands or even tens of thousands in a large county. Zhou Tianyi can be said to have brought out almost all the Zhuangban this time. In addition to his constables, there are 120 to 30 people. In the eyes of Chang Rui and Zhou Tianyi, this number is definitely enough to suppress Tumenji. After all, they represent the government. This is the biggest backer of Zhou Tianyi and his party, not just a comparison of manpower and force.

Chen Ming smiled and looked at the people in front of him. Now these people should know that Chang Rui is cruel and ruthless, right? Don't be lucky anymore. Chang Rui just wants to beat the Chen family so that they can't turn over.

"Since no one is talking, I will take it as everyone's tacit agreement. Then please go back first, elders. I and Uncle Erbao still need to discuss how to deal with Zhou Tianyi and his group." After dealing with Zhou Tianyi's group, the next thing to do is to enter the county town and break into the prison.

Chen Ming's words were a bit impolite. But the "world" has changed, and the power structure must also change.

Before, the Chen family could do business properly, so Chen Quan had a lot of say, but on that day, Chen Quan chose to follow the crowd, which was equivalent to giving up his say. Now that the Chen family has turned into a "bandit", the say must of course be transferred to the hands of those who hold the knife handle.
