When the man opposite rode his horse and was more than fifty feet apart from Lin Jingzhi and others, Aunt Yu was already sure that the man was a member of the Lin family's secret guard.
Lin Jingzhi waved his hand and signaled the guards behind him to slow down. He and Aunt Yu each squeezed their legs and quickly met. When the man saw that the man was his master coming towards him, he tried hard.
Throwing the whip will increase the length by three points.
The road was already slippery and there were many puddles. Every time the man stepped down, he would splash a splash of mud. In addition, because he had been rushing for a long time, the horse's belly and four
A thick layer of yellow mud has long been stuck to the legs.
Running until three feet away from Lin Jingzhi, the man suddenly lifted the reins and let his seat get off the horse and stopped suddenly. Then he took advantage of the inertia of rushing forward and pressed the horse's neck with both hands and jumped down the air. The man didn't care.
The ground was wet and slippery. After a few more steps, I knelt in front of Lin Jingzhi, "I have met the second master and Aunt Yu."
Seeing that the secret guard's legs were all wet, and there were a lot of muddy ideas on his body and face, Lin Jingzhi knew that something must have happened, otherwise he would not have to come over to report the news in such a hurry.
: "Get up quickly, what do you have to report?"
The secret guard stood up panting, reached into his arms, took out a piece of paper, held up his hands and walked over, and replied respectfully: "Second Master, news came from the capital that the emperor has ascended the throne for a few days.
, he wanted to work hard to govern, and planned to attack corrupt officials from all over the country first. As early as more than ten days ago, the emperor sent an imperial envoy to travel from Jingzhou to the south."
"In addition, news came from several hidden lines in Beijing that the imperial envoy passed through 12 counties and counties and killed forty-three corrupt officials and seized more than 800,000 taels of silver!"
Lin Jingzhi's right hand trembled slightly when he received the letter, and quickly took it to his hand and watched it carefully. After a while, his face turned pale by the information on the paper. What is this emperor doing?
Work hard to manage?
Still, seeing that the treasury has no money and is unable to provide relief to the victims, I came up with such a bad idea to steal money from the home of corrupt officials?
Indeed, as far as the current situation is concerned, if the court can spend a lot of money to buy food and provide disaster relief, it will indeed support the turbulent Daqian Dynasty, but this method of collecting money will obviously not work!
Throughout history, no matter which country or dynasty, every time it lasts for several generations, a large number of "corrupt officials" will be derived. These "corrupt officials" are very annoying, like borers, corrupt, infiltrate, and will
A good country is full of holes.
They are the real executioners who end every dynasty.
But then again, people have seven emotions and six desires. Who doesn’t want to have a wealth of wealth, enjoy the wealth of the world, and have countless beauties? So some people embarked on the evil path, and the person who is most likely to embark on the evil path has the right in their hands.
, officials who can easily embezzle state money.
Therefore, the emergence of corrupt officials is a very normal and inevitable phenomenon.
Now, the Daqian Dynasty has been in existence for more than 500 years. It can be said that corrupt officials are everywhere in every corner of the dynasty, and the number is so large that it is unimaginable. The newly ascended emperor does this, not trying hard to govern or emptiness.
The treasury was filled with silver, but forced local officials to rebel.
Even though you know you will die, everyone will resist and fight!
Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, his prestige is low, and a large area of locust plague broke out in the north, causing panic. If there was really a leader, many corrupt officials would probably follow the trend and rebel. By then, war disasters will occur everywhere, and the great dynasty will It's over.
Thinking of this, Lin Jingzhi was so shocked that he burst into cold sweat on his forehead.
There are three continents in the Central Plains, namely Xiongzhou in the west, Beijingzhou in the middle, and Bingzhou in the east. If the imperial envoy goes south from the capital, then he will arrive at Xiongzhou due to different routes. Liuzhou at the intersection of Beijing, or Yunzhou on the other side bordering Beijing.
Tian Ji had no choice but to say that he must be a corrupt official. If the imperial envoy really came to Liuzhou first, who had been operating in Liuzhou for so many years and had trained dozens of loyal subordinates like Wang Meng, how could he be left alone? Although General Xuanwei Zheng Sheng, although he is not as greedy as Tian Ji, it would be impossible to say that he is a clean and honest official.
So the final result is likely that the two of them reached some kind of agreement, worked together, and rebelled together.
Zheng Sheng had an army and Tian Ji had territory. Unless the court could send no less than 300,000 troops to suppress it, it would be impossible for the two of them.
What's more, these two are both fourth-rank administrative officials. If they both take the lead in rebelling, then wouldn't other continent-level officials follow suit?
If Tian Ji really cooperated with the Zheng family and rebelled together, wouldn’t the Lin family be in trouble?
You should know that the Lin family’s biggest reliance now is the Zheng family!
If the Zheng family and Tian Ji reached a cooperation agreement, the Zheng family would definitely not support the Lin family anymore. Wang Meng could openly search the Lin family.
As for the friendship between the Lin family and the Zheng family, it is really not reliable enough. After all, war requires money, and isn’t the Lin family just a treasury?
If he had been married and had a marriage relationship with the Zheng family, it would be impossible for the Lin family to ensure that nothing happened. Of course, there would be disadvantages if he had been dealt with. After all, this rebellion is a serious crime to kill the nine clans. Once the army is soldier If he loses, then his family, which is related to the Zheng family, will definitely be killed!
Aunt Yu also frowned when she heard the news. Seeing that Lin Jingzhi's face was not good, she comforted her: "Second Master, don't worry too much, be careful not to worry about your body."
Nodded silently, Lin Jingzhi folded the letter paper and carefully put it in his arms. He planned to show it to Mrs. Lin after returning home, and then discuss a way to deal with it.
After waved his hand, the secret guard turned around and turned around and turned back.
"Second Master, is the situation really bad?" Aunt Yu was riding on the horse and saw Lin Jingzhi's brows frowning into the character Sichuan, and she felt unbearable.
Lin Jingzhi knew that Aunt Yu was strong enough, so he did not hide it from her and told her all the things she was worried about. If it were Aunt Rou or Aunt Wan asked, he would not say it, otherwise they would be frightened and scared.
After hearing this, Aunt Yu took a breath of cold air in shock. If the situation was really serious, the Lin family would be in trouble.
"Yu'er, how were you prepared last time?" After a while, Lin Jingzhi gradually calmed down and asked.
"The secret guards have bought more than a dozen pieces of land in several southern prefecture counties. If the Lin family really wants to retreat secretly, the maids and concubines will guarantee that Wang Meng and others will not be able to find out any news about us in the future."
After hearing Aunt Yu's affirmative answer, Lin Jingzhi breathed a little relieved. With a way out, he could at least ensure that the Lin family would not be cut off in the future.
"Second Master, I feel that the Lin family is not without any resistance!" After walking quietly for a while, Aunt Yu suddenly said this.
Lin Jingzhi was stunned and asked, "How do you say this?" dd
