Chapter 861: Shangdang Takes People!

"That is, if Li Mengbo's father is Li Guang, it is impossible for him not to publicize it everywhere. This is the best opportunity for him to gain fame." Someone said.

"Okay, my father is coming soon." Chen Biqing said.

Then everyone rode their horses and galloped to the ferry.

"Father!"

Chen Zhengxian opened the curtains, saw his youngest son, and said seriously: "You are here."

"The children come to meet their father."

Others quickly saluted and said, "I have seen Chen Shenzheng."

"Father, these are my children's classmates at Tokyo University."

Chen Zhengxian nodded and smiled at everyone: "Qing'er often mentions you in her letters, saying that you are all young talents and the future pillars of the Song Dynasty."

Everyone was flattered and said hurriedly: "I have heard of Chen Shen's reputation as a political virtuous person for a long time. It is a blessing to meet him today."

"Okay, let's go to the city together."

In the evening, Zhao Ning was leaning on the bamboo chair in Wende Hall, closing his eyes and meditating.

To be honest, he was in a very bad mood.

Even extremely irritable.

Gao Qiu walked into the Wende Hall and saw Zhao Guan's family half lying there motionless, so he didn't dare to disturb him.

After a while, the sky outside gradually dimmed, and the maids came in to light candles. Zhao Ning opened his eyes, saw Gao Qiu Chu there, and said, "What's the matter?"

"Chen Zhengxian has entered the city."

"oh."

"Some students from the University of Tokyo went to greet him, and some officials also went."

"oh."

"In recent times, everyone in the court has called for lighter punishments, just like Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty did when he was benevolent..."

Before Gao Qiu finished speaking, Zhao Ning suddenly stood up and overturned the coffee table on one side. The teapot, teacups, calligraphy and paintings on it all fell to the floor.

"What are you doing!" Zhao Ning roared angrily, "They are shameless and greedy people, and they still want me to reduce the punishment! I didn't kill all nine of their tribes one by one, it's already very merciful!"

Zhao Guanjia's voice echoed through the Wende Hall, and blue veins popped out on his forehead, like an angry dragon.

Gao Qiu was so frightened that he knelt down quickly: "Your Majesty, calm down your anger, Your Majesty, calm down your anger..."

Zhao Ning suddenly walked to the wall, pulled out the sword on the wall, and slashed at the desk.

There was a muffled sound, and a gap was cut out of the bookcase. The chopped part fell to the wooden floor, making a "clatter" sound, and rolled down in front of Gao Qiu.

Before Gao Qiu had time to say anything, the bookcase was also lifted by Zhao Guan's family, and everything on it fell to the ground.

Finally, Zhao Guan's sword hit the ground, cutting into the wooden floor, and the sword's blade was still buzzing.

The sword blade was less than one foot away from Gao Qiu. Gao Qiu was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his forehead and he didn't even dare to make a move.

Gao Qiu has not seen Zhao Guan's family so angry for a long time.

He didn't dare to say anything anymore.

The chambermaids and maids outside did not dare to come in.

There was still snow falling outside, and the darkness of the night was too thick to melt away.

After a while, Zhao Ning said: "Keep an eye on this Chen Zhengxian and see which officials have been in contact with him. I want a list!"

"Yes...yes..." Gao Qiu's voice was trembling.

"Go down."

"I excuse myself."

When Gao Qiu went out, his legs were weak.

On the 20th day of the first lunar month, the news that the county government office in Shangdang County was flooded and that the county magistrate and county government officials were burned to death reached the political affairs hall in a formal document.

The news aroused great concern in the political hall, but no one knew that someone from the Su Provincial Yuan died in Shangdang, otherwise it would inevitably cause a political storm.

However, even the news that the Shangdang Yamen leaked has not spread yet.

Chen Zhengxian also started his work report in the capital and promoted his book "Essentials of Benevolent Government" everywhere, which attracted the attention of many people.

Here we go, on the twenty-fourth day of the first lunar month.

Early in the morning, several officers and soldiers from Shangdang County saw a black torrent in the snow ahead.

Not long after, the Japanese cavalry arrived at the gate of Shangdang City.

The surrounding business travelers immediately moved out of the way, not daring to come any closer.

The officers and soldiers also quickly closed the door.

However, Zhang Bofen ignored the officers and soldiers, and instead let the soldiers and horses work separately. In one morning, Shangdang County was surrounded.

After being surrounded, no one is allowed to leave at will.

Only then did the officers and soldiers in Shangdang County realize the seriousness of the problem.

An inspector named Lu Shuo came over with someone and said: "Xiaoguan is the inspector of Shangdang County. Shangguan is here. What are you doing here?"

He Bin from the Imperial City Department was among them. He was riding on his horse, glanced at Lu Shuo, and said, "He Bin from the Imperial City Department."

Everyone's expressions changed drastically, and Lu Shuo said: "I don't know if the commander of the Imperial City Department has arrived, but he was not welcomed at a distance."

"You don't need to greet me. Just open the south gate and close all the other gates. No one is allowed in or out."

"This is……"

"These are the Imperial Guard Brigade from the capital. You have no right to question them here. Just obey them or you will bear the consequences."

"Yes Yes Yes!"

At noon, there was still singing and dancing in the Wang family's house. Wang Chong was drinking and looking at the slim-waisted beauties, and he was very happy.

Butler Wang San hurriedly ran in and shouted: "Officer, it's not good!"

"Get out of here and don't bother me drinking!"

"Officer, there are a lot of cavalry coming outside the city!"

"cavalry?"

"Yes, Cavalry!"

Wang Chong's expression darkened slightly, and then he smiled and said, "What does it have to do with me?"

"Now the whole city is sealed off."

"So what if it's sealed?"

"I am afraid……"

"Go away, don't hinder me!"

"yes……"

In the afternoon, groups of cavalry entered the city and began to block the streets.

The first thing the Imperial City Secretary did after entering the city was to go to the home of the county magistrate He Hui, seal up He Hui's home, and start checking the accounts.

At the same time, we went to Wang Chong's home.

The Imperial City Division obtained first-hand information from the mother and son. Almost everyone knew who the owner of the Weimin Trading Co., Ltd. in Shangdang County was.

Wang Chong didn't know the seriousness of the problem yet. After drinking at noon, he returned to his room and began to fall asleep.

In the afternoon, the Wang family's residence was surrounded by the Imperial City Secretary.

The servants of the Wang family were used to being arrogant, so they immediately stepped forward and scolded: "You are so blind that you don't even see where this place is..."

Before the servant finished speaking, an Imperial City Commander kicked him over and kicked him into the air.

"The Imperial City Division is handling the case. Anyone who dares to stop him will be shot to death."

As soon as a group of black boots rushed in, some servants armed with sticks and weapons rushed out.

"This is the Wang Family Courtyard, who dares to be presumptuous..."

Before he could finish his words, the imperial city commanders had already pulled the triggers of the crossbows in their hands, and the crossbow arrows swept over them intensively.

For a while, screams came one after another.

More imperial city commanders walked straight in from behind.
