The night is dark and the wind is high, and the waning moon hangs high.
River.
The government of the government.
"My lord, everything is fine."
The chief bookkeeper handed over a document with a smile on his face and whispered in Liu Fengzhong's ear.
Liu Fengzhong took it and glanced at it seriously, glanced at him with satisfaction for a while, and laughed heartily: "Haha, this land is finally in my hands!"
Okay, go to Yueya Building tonight, don't get drunk and don't return!
” The master was overjoyed and said, "Lord Xie."
"This is an open secret word, drinking is sharing the spoils.
"My lord, my lord's wrong!"
Suddenly, a servant barged in and said anxiously.
Liu Fengzhong sat upright and snorted coldly: "What's wrong, in the river.
If there's anything wrong with the house, tell me well!
” The official looked flustered, didn't care about anything else, and said urgently, "My lord, the Ti cavalry from Dongchang is here, and he is mobilizing the government soldiers to surround our government office!"
” Liu Fengzhong's face changed greatly, and he stood up violently and said loudly: "Presumptuous!
Whoever can move the government army without my warrant will immediately send the captain of the government army to come!
” After the military reform, there were militiamen in each province, which were dispatched by the Governor's Office and were responsible for daily military affairs.
There are 3,000 soldiers in a government, and the county army is under the command of the county military captain, all of which are under the jurisdiction of the local government.
The official almost cried out and said, "My lord, that's the Dongchang Tiqi, there is an edict from the cabinet and the military department, and the government army will no longer listen to you." ” Liu Fengzhong finally thought of everything in the capital at this time, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
He thought of a possibility, Dongchang was going to take him under the knife and kill the chicken to show the monkey!
"Let's go!"
Liu Fengzhong knows his own affairs, either he doesn't check it, and if he checks it, it's a big deal to lose his head!
As he spoke, he ran to the backyard, he still had a lot of treasures, and he wanted to run away with them.
When the master who was as thin as a bamboo pole saw it, he hurriedly grabbed it and said, "It's too late for adults, it's important to save your life......"
Liu Fengzhong didn't listen, under the bed was his savings for many years, where was he willing to give it to others, and quickly ran in.
The chief bookkeeper stomped his feet in a hurry, looked at the official and said, "Go quickly, guard the door, and don't open it no matter what!"
” "Yes......" the official agreed, and hurried to the gate.
It didn't take long for Liu Fengzhong to hold a large package and hurriedly tie it to his body, and at the same time said with flashing eyes: "Go to my house, take my two sons, and go down the river.
Go south, and everything will be fine when you get to Jiangnan......"
The master bookkeeper was nervous, Liu Fengzhong wanted to escape, he didn't have the ability, so he hurriedly grabbed and said, "My lord, aren't you someone in the court?"
Now send someone to deliver the letter, it's still too late to ......"
Liu Fengzhong's expression changed, and he could only tell the truth at this time, and said: "My backer is only three grades, and he can't stop the thief at all, hurry up, I'll give you 30,000 taels, enough to spend the rest of your life in peace......"
The main bookkeeper's eyes widened, and he grabbed Liu Fengzhong and shouted: "My lord, you can't go, what should we do if you leave?"
My lord, there is still a way, if you think about it again, you must not escape, the shore of the land, it is not the king's land......"
Liu Fengzhong's head was sweating urgently, if he was arrested, not to mention that his head fell to the ground, he would die of distress just if his savings over the years were gone.
"Go away!"
He kicked open the main book, which he had been following for more than ten years, and strode outside.
"My lord, my lord......" shouted the master, getting up and chasing after him.
Liu Fengzhong can run, he can't run, a family of dozens of people, how to run?
Liu Fengzhong's mouth was dry, cold sweat broke out on his head, he was about to go to the front door with the package, turned around and walked to the back door.
Squeak Pushing open the door, he was about to stick his head out to watch, when a cold cold knife was already on his fat neck.
The lights outside the door were bright, and dozens of government soldiers were neatly dressed and holding torches.
Hou Guoxing sat on the tall horse, looked at Liu Fengzhong with a smile, and said, "Lord Liu, where are you going, do you want to give this official a ride?"
” The cold sweat on Liu Fengzhong's face trickled down, the corners of his face trembled, he squeezed out the door, glanced at the knife on his neck, and said with a trembling smile: "Lord Hou said that he laughed, he just wanted to go home, it was so late, and his official duties were already over......"
Hou Guoxing looked at the package in his hand, the more he smiled, and said; "It's such a coincidence, we also want to visit Lord Liu's mansion, so I'll give you a ride."

Liu Fengzhong's whole body was trembling, and he wanted to approach the knife and block him, so he had to say with a sneer: "Lord Hou, just ask me to let me go, I am willing to present 100,000 taels to my lord......"
Hou Guoxing's eyes lit up, his smile deepened, and he said, "I want to go to the adult's mansion now, the two of you, lead the way for Lord Liu!"
” The two fans stepped forward and snatched the package from Liu Fengzhong's hand, and then put the knife on his neck, and said with a smile: "Lord Liu, let's go, if I accidentally use a lot of force with this knife, we can only go by ourselves." ” Liu Fengzhong trembled all over, looking at Dongchang Fanzi, who didn't look like he was leaving his hand at all, his face was full of sauce, and he was pushed forward reluctantly.
This is naturally not a dinner invitation, in fact, Tiqi has already drained the water around Liu's mansion and turned over the cabinets to raid the house.
As soon as they arrived at Liu's mansion, more than a dozen of Liu Fengzhong's wives and concubines rushed over and cried.
Liu Fengzhong was pressed to his knees, trembling, he knew that he couldn't avoid this section, desperately thinking about the network that could be used in the capital, and he had to save his life!
But the capital has long been different from the past, where else dare to form a party for personal gain, who dares to shield fellow villagers?
If there is a suspicion of a party, I don't know how many people can't avoid it!
What's more, this is Wei Zhongxian doing it, how many people dare to go to him to ask for face?
His eyes flickered rapidly, and he also had a courtyard with 50,000 taels hidden in it, which might be used to save his life.
Hou Guoxing sat in front of the gate of Liu's mansion, drinking tea comfortably.
Liu's mansion was brightly lit, people came and went, and large boxes were moved out one by one, silk and satin, gold, silver and jade, calligraphy and painting antiques, piled up in the open space in front of the gate.
Hou Guoxing squinted, and his face couldn't hide his excitement.
River.
The area of the house is special, and it is the key point connecting the north and the south.
The Haikou of Jinwei has been turning here for many years.
'Looks like I'm underestimating this.
Hou Guoxing said secretly.
Not long after, a fan stepped forward and said, "My lord, I have roughly counted the silver alone, and the other belongings are estimated to be more than 300,000 taels ......."
Hou Guoxing's body stiffened, and he turned his head to look at Liu Fengzhong, who was being held, and said suspiciously: "How did you make so many profits?"
” A prefect is not a prosperous age, how can it be done?
Even Hou Guoxing, who knew it well, was shocked.
Liu Fengzhong knelt on the ground and didn't say a word, only his little eyes flickered.
It was the master bookkeeper, who raised his hand tremblingly and said, "Go back to the adult, the little one knows." ” This is related to his future family property, Hou Guoxing said with interest: "Let's talk about it." ” Liu Fengzhong turned his head to look at the main book, frowning and looking slightly angry.
The chief bookkeeper ignored him at all, and said loudly as if inviting merit and revenge: "My lord, He.
The tax grain and tax silver of the intergovernmental government, take 20% below, take 20% when you arrive at the prefect, and then you have to pay a layer of filial piety below, and he alone takes 30%.
In recent years, there have been many merchant ships and merchants, and he has taken advantage of this opportunity to collect taxes in a big way, although there are not many, there are many people who can pay taxes, and the accumulation is also considerable, and there are also false reports of the severity of the disaster, so that the taxes reduced by the imperial court have gone into his pocket......"
Hou Guoxing didn't have much surprise, this is the usual means of low-level officials in the Ming Dynasty, which one will, these methods are not new.
The master also saw it, and hurriedly said, "He also colluded with the bandits, divided the dirty silver, stolen goods, sold the stolen goods, and opened more than a dozen pawnshops......"
Hou Guoxing's eyes lit up, he had heard of this, but it was all over the southwest, far away from the imperial court, but he didn't expect that there were people at the foot of Gyeonggi who dared to do this!
"Talent......
Hou Guoxing looked at this Liu Fengzhong, thinking in his heart how to get the money in his hand to earn him money.
Dongchang Tiqi dispatched to mobilize government soldiers to besiege the prefect's yamen, and it was also a raid on the house with open fire, which naturally attracted countless onlookers.
River.
The officials of the intergovernmental government, large and small, all turned pale, quietly slipped away, and ran back like crazy, regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one, it was important to pack up and run.
Naturally, these can't be hidden from Dongchang or Hou Guoxing, but he has a good time, drinking tea and sitting there without moving.
"If you catch it all in one go, won't Dongchang be fine......
It took an hour to count and pack, Hou Guoxing did not meet with other officials, and directly escorted people and goods back to the capital overnight.
