The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

Chapter 22 Bully the official

In the second hall of Gongzhou Prefecture, Hou San was kneeling on the ground. The wound on his leg had been healed, but he had been kneeling for a long time, and blood was still oozing from the wound. He listened to the sound of a board being hit on the body from outside the hall.

Hou San did not dare to move due to the crackling sound and the screams one after another. After escaping, he did not dare to return to Zhuangzi, but sent the young master directly to the mansion. After what happened, the master was furious and several people

They all got slapped, but because he was injured, he was spared the punishment of kneeling down here!

I don’t know how much time passed, but the screams outside gradually became quieter. A government official on duty came in and lit the candles in the hall. The prefect Chen Tang then entered the room and sat on the chair of the Imperial Master with a heavy face. The government official looked carefully.

He brought tea and quietly left.

Chen Tang picked up the cup, skimmed the foam with the cup lid, sipped the tea, and looked at the people kneeling at his feet. The flame that had just been extinguished started to burn again. His son, a dignified prefect, was beaten with a black nose and face, and was also frightened.

He peed his pants, how can he get along in the officialdom in the future! The more he looked at him, the angrier he became, and he threw the tea on Hou San's face. The hot tea splashed on his face, which made Hou San tremble, but he didn't.

He didn't dare to wipe off the water drops on his face, he just kept kowtowing.

"Sir, the eldest young master drank the medicine and fell asleep. There is nothing serious!" The housekeeper of the mansion came in and reported.

"Well, is Zhang Yan here?" Chen Tang nodded and asked with a slightly calmer expression.

"Zhang Baozheng is here. He's waiting outside. I'll call him in right away!" the steward said, and then ordered the yamen servant to call someone.

"Brother-in-law, how is your nephew?" As he was talking, a man came in from the outside. If you look at him from behind, he looks like a normal person, but when you look at him from the front, it's not what he wants. His mouth is crooked and his eyes are slanted. He wears a 'glass flower', which is obviously long.

If you get the image of an evil person, you should pretend to be a gentleman, with a scribe's scarf on your head, a Confucian robe, and two rat whiskers on your chin.

"Well, sit down!" Chen Tang frowned slightly and asked him to sit down. His brother-in-law was a country scoundrel. He didn't have enough to eat and did whatever he couldn't do. He always wanted to work with him, but he couldn't

He really couldn't get on the stage and couldn't stand up to the sidelines, so he had no choice but to make him the head of his village and promoted him to be a guarantor. He could be regarded as a grassroots cadre.

"Brother-in-law, although it was my nephew who was beaten today, the real beating was in the face of you, the prefect, brother-in-law. We can't just let it go!" Zhang Yan sat down and crossed his legs and said.

"Huh, you still have the nerve to accuse me. Your nephew was beaten on your land. You are such a majestic protector!" Chen Tang said sarcastically.

"Oh, when I got the letter and summoned the bankers and rushed over, they had already run away, otherwise I would have called them."

"Stop bragging, look at the people you can beat the most, aren't they still a bunch of trash, and they actually let the children get disgraced!" Chen Tang pointed at Hou San who was still kneeling on the ground and said, "How dare that family

Do you understand whether there is any potential to fight against Zian?"

"Brother-in-law, this family has only been here for more than a year. They all speak with a Jingli accent. I haven't heard of any backers. The head of the family is a seven or eight-year-old boy. Everything is decided by a group of managers. I guess

The adults in my family died and I could no longer survive in Beijing, so I hid in the countryside. Otherwise, who would come to this remote and remote place to become a rich man! But "

"But what?"

"This family is very wealthy. They have hundreds of hectares of land, most of which is fertile land. There are more than 500 tenant households. The food and clothing in the family are all of good quality. I heard people say that the steward of their family has been released from prison.

I'm going to buy all the fields along the river!" Zhang Yan said with gleaming eyes, "Brother-in-law, I heard from my sister that we haven't collected enough gifts for Prime Minister Cai this year. If we take this opportunity to give him

Take it here, one hundred hectares of land is worth a lot of money, plus their large manor, it costs two hundred thousand guan after all. All problems have been solved. My brother-in-law may be able to go to Beijing and join the cabinet.

Impossible!"

"Oh, his family is so rich." Chen Tang stood up suddenly and soon realized that he had lost his composure. He looked at Hou San who was already wilting on the ground and said to the official: "Take him down and find a doctor."

!”

The official waved his hand, and two government officials came up and carried Hou San down. Seeing that there were no outsiders in the room, Chen Tang asked Zhang Yan to come over and said, "Zhang Yan, what should we do if we want to bring that Zhuangzi over?"

There was a tense atmosphere in the palace. The guards were all dressed up in fine attire, with their swords unsheathed and bows strung. More than twenty villagers were guarding the gate with guns and sticks. Not far away, there was another group of more than twenty people who were also watching eagerly.

People were surrounding the door, and the one at the head was the arrogant Zhang Yan.

"Boss, we found out the details of those people!" Zhao Tong sat in the main hall with an angry face.

"Second Master, we have found out that they are from Zhuangzi, the prefect of Gongzhou. The leader of the gang yesterday was his eldest son Chen Zian. The person outside the door is his brother-in-law Zhang Yan, the Baozheng of Chenzhuang!"

He replied respectfully.

"Shame on you, I didn't trouble him, but today you dare to trouble me!" Zhao Tong cursed. He didn't want to cause trouble yesterday, so he let Chen Zian go. Unexpectedly, the boy fell out when he got on the horse, turned around and ejaculated.

He shot an arrow. If Meng Tao hadn't been quick, he would have been plotted against him.

That shameless Zhang Yan actually brought someone to their house that night to 'mediate' in his capacity as a guarantor. The lion opened his mouth and asked them to settle the matter with 100,000 yuan, and he came to guarantee that the prefect's family would not cause trouble to him.

The chief steward has also seen the big world. He is the minister in Beijing, and the prime minister will give him three points of thin noodles. Now that a small "village cadre" dares to run wild here, of course he has to find someone to kick them out.

Zhao Tong would have broken his legs long ago if he had not given instructions in advance. Unexpectedly, this guy would never stop, leading people to block the door of the house, and even breaking in to arrest people.

"Aren't they going to come in? Master Meng, get your people ready. As soon as they enter the house, close the door immediately and arrest them all. Anyone who dares to resist will be beaten to death!" Several people in the hall were shocked after hearing this.

He was stunned for a moment. The prince seemed really annoyed. Huang Daguan didn't come back yesterday. Others wanted to persuade him but didn't dare. After all, this child was their real master.

"Yes, I will follow the second master's instructions immediately!" Meng Tao said and went out.

"Jian Xi, go get my royal robe and prepare the carriage and horses!" Zhao Tong said to Jian Xi on the side.

"Second Master, what are you going to do?" Jian Xi was confused, wondering what the prince was up to.

"Catch them and keep them for fun? I want to send them to the magistrate's office and accuse them of murdering the prince. I want to see whose father is older!" Zhao Tong said with a stern face.

"Yes!" Jian Xi immediately understood. He was going to compete with that Chen Zian, but was it comparable? The prince himself was several levels older than the prefect. He looked at the prince and knew that the kid had already had his father.

Having come up with the idea, he immediately ordered Fengxi to take two small Huangmen to get clothes and prepare a sedan chair.

"Chief manager, find someone who is good at writing and ask him to write a complaint immediately, saying that Chen Zian plotted to kill the prince and had evil intentions. I want to see how his father tries this case!"

"Second Master, I don't need you to go to this matter in person. I can take care of the matter with your post. I will let him do it impartially!" the big manager advised, not being able to correctly understand the leader's intention.

"No, I have to go and see for myself, even if I let him know that his father is the prefect!" Zhao Tong immediately declined his kindness.

Those who arrest people here arrest people, and those who write petitions write petitions. When everyone finished their work and returned to the main hall, their eyes lit up. It is true that a man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle. The prince has already changed into "formal clothes" and wears a seven-beam forehead.

Corolla, wearing a purple four-clawed dragon python robe, a gold belt on the waist, a goldfish bag hanging on it, a white jade ring, a mink fur cloak, deerskin cloud-head boots, plus a pretty face with delicate features,

That's called spirit.

"Your Majesty, the sedan is ready, please move it!" Jian Xi also put on his "work clothes" and bowed his head and shouted loudly.

"Well, let's go!" Zhao Tong walked out of the door. Everything was ready outside. He got on the sedan chair. The eight sedan bearers shouted in unison. Hong Ni's sedan chair was lifted steadily. She was the most relaxed person in the house.

They are the ones who are the best. This is the first time to use them, and they are all very energetic.

The team starting from the gate of the mansion had already stood, waiting for him. Yang Feng led six guards in front to open the way, followed closely by Zhao Tong's sedan, and four sumo wrestlers each took a corner to escort him. Seeing Xi Fenxi supported him

The sedan chair was served with a few small yellow doors. Behind it, the chief steward and Meng Tao led a dozen or so guards to accompany them on horseback. Finally, the bankers escorted a group of 'terrorists' who 'attacked' the palace.

He was ready to bully the official.

"Your Majesty, when you open the palace alone, we will add a guard of honor, and the formation will be even bigger than this!" Jian Xi said with a smile to Zhao Tong in the sedan through the curtains.

"Hey, we're getting too serious this time. I wonder if the emperor will scold me for making too much noise after hearing this!" Zhao Tong's helpless voice came from the sedan chair. This time he mobilized a large number of people to 'file a lawsuit'. He used

Jiu Yazi also knew the result. Regardless of the identity of the prince, a prefect and a county king were not at the same level at all. He could only seek abuse, but he had no choice but to do so.

Ever since the Tianning Festival meeting, as he expected, after meeting the rich man and the young master of their family, some young men began to get ready to make various arrangements, and all kinds of inexplicable servants began to come to their door. In short, the villagers wanted money for business trips.

They came to him for everything, and there were even more disputes over property on adjacent land boundaries. The brave ones moved the boundary signs openly, while the timid ones secretly dug up the edges of the fields and nibbled at the corners of the fields, causing the tenants in the family to complain.

Zhao Tong believed that Baozheng's daring to blatantly collude with the prefect to rob the property was the result of his blindly tolerant attitude in the past period of time and his calm attitude. Now he wants to establish his authority and use this incident to completely solve the troubles that may arise in the future and benefit himself.

Create a peaceful and stable environment in the future!
