Chapter 922 Catch! Catch! Catch!
"Grandpa Wen, Grandpa Wang, and Lord Song..." Wang Ning'an said sternly: "The situation has changed now. The Chai family's case is not a great thing, and we should not focus on this case!"
"Where should I put it?" Sun Gu raised his voice!
"Put it on the canal transportation!"
Wang Ning'an said: "The canal transportation is related to the life and death of the Song Dynasty. I don't need to say much. Now some people are crazy and think that cutting the canal transportation can force the court to bow their heads. This is a provocation. If the court cannot hold on, what kind of majesty can there be? Besides, the canal was built by my Song Dynasty, not the property of some people. In order to ensure the safety of the canal transportation, I decided to take action immediately. What are your opinions, sirs?"
Sun Gu's face looked very bad, "Since the prince knows that the canal transportation is so important, why do we still cause chaos? It's better to restore everything to its original state, so that the world will be peaceful!"
"What?"
Zhang Dun immediately jumped up, "Mr. Sun, what do you mean is to let others hold the lifeline of the court, threaten the court at any time, do whatever they want, and the court does not make any statements, and just let it be at mercy. Is this what it means?"
"Of course not!" Sun Gu angrily said, "Don't misinterpret my words!"
"I didn't misinterpret it. Who doesn't know that the canal transportation is crucial, but you compromised and gave in. Is this the attitude that the important officials of the court should have?"
Before Sun Gu could speak, Wang Anshi coughed twice, "Mr. Sun, what the King of Xiliang said is reasonable, and Zihou's words are nothing wrong. Anyone who dares to make a canal transportation is a crazy traitor. I think that even if it is cut into pieces, there is nothing!"
Sun Gu was facing a full-scale siege, so he could not resist it. He looked at Wen Yanbo desperately, thinking that you always say something, help!
Wen Yanbo was very moved at this time, all helpless.
When he came, he knew that the water was very deep, but after he arrived, he found that things were even worse. If he only launched the battle between Chai family and Wang Ning'an, it might not be much, but now he has brought the canal transportation to the table.
This matter is very complicated.
It was not just the struggle between Wang Ning'an and Southeast, but the provocation of the imperial power, and he could no longer tolerate both ends of the rat, so he had to take a gamble!
Lao Wen really doesn't want to get involved, but he has to express his opinion.
The people in the Southeast are so crazy, I can’t be crazy with you!
"My husband, I only have four words to describe the situation in front of me - shocking! Shocking!" Wen Yanbo shook his head and sighed, "The court spent millions of tuition every year to maintain the canal and ensure the transportation of the canal. There are millions of people in the two capitals, and there are so many officials, imperial guards, and border troops, all pointing to the grain alive... But the grain is held in the hands of others. Isn't this saying that my lifeline of the Song Dynasty is also in the hands of others? If there is a war ahead and I urgently need food and grass, someone takes the opportunity to cut off the transportation of the canal and the soldiers are empty. How to fight? Thinking about these, I will shudder... This is not a matter of transportation, but a country's rise and fall, life and death!" Wen Yanbo raised his head and sighed: "King of Xiliang, you should show your decisive courage. No matter how you decide, I will support you with all your strength, and there is no other word!"
After hearing Wen Yanbo's words, Sun Gu vomited blood... His eyes were wide open, his surname was Wen, why are you even more than Wang Anshi? I recommend you to help us speak. You sit on Wang Ning'an's side. What do you old guy want to do?
Wen Yanbo narrowed his old eyes and was too lazy to even look at it. He didn't want to offend the Southeast. He also knew that the Southeast was powerful, but he had to do it. In the final analysis, Wen Yanbo was a northerner, and his interests were all in the north, in the Xijing Bank, in the Western Regions, and in the Xixia!
When I was tearing my face and trying my best to fight, I didn’t know how to take the team, that was 25!
Wouldn't you wait for Wang Ning'an and the people from Southeast to destroy him?
...
"Mr. Wen is very wise and admirable!" Wang Ning'an smiled, "Since that's the case, the three adults will take a break and wait until the evening, we will discuss countermeasures together."
Sun Gu was angry and left with his sleeves. Wen Yanbo nodded meaningfully, "I have said goodbye, too."
In the end, only Wang Anshi was left. He looked worried and didn't feel at all.
"Prince, do you have any strategy now? I can't let it go!"
Wang Ning'an smiled, "Brother Jiefu, you are helping you speak up in the capital and helping you in time for help. I am very grateful... This time, the matter is indeed a bit troublesome. Those people are hidden among the gentry and bureaucrats in the southeast. It is hard to say who it is. But anyone is possible, and they don't know who is the leader and who has the final say. It's like a tiger eating the sky and having no idea how to talk!"
Wang Anshi asked in surprise: "Can you start with the Chai family and can't find anything? Or is Chai Zongfan unwilling to confess?"
"The Chai family should know something, but Chai Zongfan seemed to know that someone would rescue him, so he would bite him to death. And I guess that at most, he would implicate the Cao Gang's hall, and some merchants were far from touching the core... I even judged that whether it was the Chai family, some people in the capital, or the coolie husbands at the dock, they were abandoned children thrown out by others and forced us to swallow them!"
Wang Anshi took a deep breath, and hesitated: "Prince, do you want to take the other party's vital points and get a capturing thief and a capturing king?"
"Well, that's what I think, but the 'king' has not been found yet." Wang Ning'an smiled and said, "Brother Jiefu, do you have any insight?"
Wang Anshi smiled bitterly and said, "The prince also knows me, and he is not good at these things... but I think they will never let the prince catch the 'king' easily this time. The enemy is in the dark, and I am in the bright... Prince, I think it's better to have a stupid way - to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger!"
"What does Brother Jiefu mean?"
"Catch people!"
Wang Ning'an asked, "Who should I catch?"
"Starting from the river yamen, you can catch wherever there is chaos." The Aoxiang Gong looked proud, as if he had returned to the style of presiding over the reform.
Wang Ning'an pondered for a moment, smiled and stretched out his thumb.
"Brother Jiefu is the real master. This game can only be broken with power!"
Wang Ning'an was actually preparing too. He didn't take action, but wanted to see what the three imperial envoys were like, especially Wen Yanbo. Wang Ning'an also carefully prepared a trap for the old guy and wanted to trick him. Who knew that Wen Yanbo was standing on Wang Ning'an's side, which made him embarrassed to start.
Then we can only skip the first step and start attacking the messy forces!
With Wang Ning'an's orders one after another, people came out in one go.
This time he used all the imperial guards, not local people, and no orders were passed through yamen at all levels, and he issued a handwritten order directly. In this way, the entire yamen in the two Huai Rivers were completely confused and were all passively beaten.
First, the river yamen!
Inadequate supervision, resulting in the interruption of the canal transportation, which is equivalent to losing the city and land, leaving no one left from top to bottom!
The people were stunned. Even the old man with gray hair was stunned. Be good, when did the Song Dynasty arrest people like this?
I saw a group of cavalrymen with bright armor and dazzling armor. They were holding muskets and long spears and short swords. The majestic and evil spirits were completely different.
The person running in front kept tapping the handle of the knife, making dull sounds.
"Officials work, idle people hide!"
"Officials work, idle people hide!"
...
The common people were so scared that they hurriedly hid in the street shops, closed the doors one by one, and then looked out through the cracks of the door and windows. The officers and soldiers rushed to the yamen and shouted three times, but no one agreed, so they directly knocked open the door and rushed in to get people.
In a short while, the master inside was pulled out.
In the past, the officials of the rivers were so rich, and any merchant ship passing through the canal would not even be seen.
This time it was so miserable that the black hat was taken off, and the official uniforms on their bodies were broken, stumbled, like little ghosts.
Not only these great masters can't escape the clerks, troupes, and officials from the six chiefs. Hundreds of people tied up with ropes, just like a string of grasshoppers, in a mess.
"Oh... God is going to take someone!"
Looking at the leaving team, the elderly were filled with emotion.
Some people also think it's good, "If you catch it, just catch it. Anyway, these officials are fat and fat, and they are farting, but who will they catch if they don't catch it? Everyone said, right?"
"What is it!" the older man lamented: "No matter how bad these officials are, they are just greedy for money. Now that the dock is causing trouble, aren't they still not killing people? If a new official master is replaced, maybe the number of people will be rolling. I don't know how many people will die!"
After he said this, all the other guests in the teahouse sucked in the air and changed their colors.
But these ordinary people couldn't control anything. The next day, the arrest of people continued, and the scale became larger. Many big businessmen who had business dealings with the Chai family were either arrested, confiscated, and sealed.
On the third day, the more exciting thing finally came!
Zhang Dun commanded 5,000 people to surround the largest Caogang Hall in Xuzhou!
In this hall alone, there are more than 3,000 civilians and coolies below.
Facing the strong soldiers of the court, the people in the hall were not afraid of it being fake, but they had to pretend to be calm.
"We never do anything to violate the law of the king. Brothers make money with their strength. These days, we are tired and want to take a break and live with our wives and children. Isn't that possible?"
Zhang Dun grinned his teeth and smiled, "Sure, the boatman coolie in the hall, listen, it's not your business. I will only catch the head. Don't be stupid. You have become their shield, scapegoat!"
As he said that, Zhang Dun waved his hand!
"Run in!"
The soldiers immediately rushed into the hall like wolves and tigers. The coolies were really mobilized to fight against the court, but their number was too small and they were quickly surrounded by soldiers and had no effect at all. They directly surrendered.
Catch! Catch! Catch!
Within three days, a military camp was filled with...
Chapter completed!
