Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1274 Forced Demolition
Dugucheng was woken up by the maid in the early hours of the morning.

Pushing away the warm and greasy body of the concubine who was curled up like a cat in her arms, a surge of steamy wake-up rushes straight to the brain, making her temples throb and throb.Rubbing his eyes, he glanced at the still dark sky outside, Dugucheng gritted his teeth and said, "It's the middle of the night, the sky is falling down?"

The maid trembled and said in fear: "The man from Jingzhao Mansion said that he was ordered by Fang Fu Yin to invite the young master to be on duty in the yamen. Fang Fu Yin personally presided over... a surprise fire safety inspection?"

Although my young master has always had a calm personality and would not easily get angry with the maids and servants at home, but now that he is sleeping soundly and being woken up by someone, who knows if he will be furious?But the steward of the mansion ordered her to wake up the young master quickly, how dare she not?
In addition, even though she is a maid in the mansion, she also knows that the young master's life in Jingzhao Mansion does not seem to be going well, that Fang Jun is really too strong.Now Fang Jun has an order, how can the young master not go?

Sure enough, Dugu Cheng was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise, "Fire safety surprise inspection? What's going on with the second room?"

The maid bowed her head.

Suppressing the irritable breath in his heart, Dugucheng had no choice but to turn over and sit up, and said helplessly: "Waiting for someone to change clothes..."

"Here!"

The maid responded, and hurriedly withdrew quietly to bring Dugucheng's official robe, and at the same time called two companions to help Dugucheng comb his hair and clean his face, and put on a brand new official uniform.

The concubine groaned in bed, sat up in a daze, and wondered, "Is your lord going out so early?"

Dugucheng stretched out his hand to pinch the exposed full chest, and said softly: "There is something in the yamen, you should go on sleeping obediently."

"Well……"

When a man wakes up, how can a woman continue to sleep soundly?The concubine cheered up, put on a dress and followed several maids to help Dugu Cheng change.

After getting dressed and cleaning his face, Dugu Cheng yawned and walked out of the bedroom, and went to the yamen with the officials sent by Jingzhao Mansion.

The little official said respectfully: "The governor has an order, Shaoyin, you can go directly to Dongshi to meet up."

Dugucheng nodded, that's fine, the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion is in the west of the imperial city, and Dongshi is close to the east gate, so going back and forth from east to west is troublesome.

In the early morning, the rain stopped and the wind stopped, but the air was extremely cold.

Rubbing his hands, Dugu Cheng ordered his servants to prepare the carriage, but after thinking about it before getting into the carriage, he decided to go on horseback instead.What kind of fire safety surprise inspection is being carried out so early in the morning, Fang Jun and that guy are obviously doing something stupid, it's better to keep a low profile, so as not to be targeted by that stick...

At this time, the sky was dark, and although the light rain had stopped, there were no stars or moons in the sky.

But at Yin time, even the bustling East Market is silent.When Dugu Cheng and Xiaoli came to Dongshi, they found that the gate had been guarded by Jingzhao Mansion's yamen soldiers, and all personnel entering and exiting had to undergo inspection.

Dugu Cheng waved his hands at several soldiers, and naturally they were able to pass through unimpeded.

The little official led the way, and Dugu Cheng got off his horse and walked unhurriedly, asking, "Whose house is this a surprise inspection?"

The little official said respectfully: "If you go back to Shaoyin, it's the Zhang family's shop, the Duke of Yun's Zhang family."

Dugucheng's heart suddenly "thumped".

Zhang family?

Yesterday during the day, the news that Zhang Liang's nephew was angry at the Jingzhao Mansion on the streets of Dongshi City had already spread throughout Chang'an, creating a commotion.Some people say that Fang Jun is afraid of the combined power of the powerful family, so he can only let it go in the end; some people say that Fang Jun, a stick, can easily die down?There must be a counterattack.

Dugucheng expressed his support for the latter without hesitation...

What kind of temperament is Fang Jun?It would have been fine if Zhang Shentie had been taken down on the spot, but it was just a slap in the face, and he couldn't kill him after all.But Wang Xuance backed down and had a good attitude at that time, so it was abnormal.

What awaits the Zhang family is bound to be a counterattack like a thunderstorm!

The East City has been built for many years, and most of the shops have been expanded, making the originally narrow streets even narrower and darker.Years of horses and carts have made the streets bumpy and uneven. From time to time, rainwater will condense into puddles. If you step on it inadvertently, your shoes will be wet.

Dugucheng frowned in disgust, tried his best to avoid the puddle but also filled a shoe with water, splashing a corner of the government building, thinking in his heart that the East City is already dilapidated and old, it would be nice if it could be rebuilt...

A roar and scolding shattered the quiet night sky, and it was exceptionally clear.

Dugucheng was stunned for a moment, and quickly stepped forward, not caring whether his shoes would be stepped on in the stagnant water.

It's already wet anyway...

Turning a corner, the lights in front suddenly brightened.

On the street, a large group of people stood there, there were servants holding torches, and soldiers were busy running.

Fang Jun was dressed in an official robe, standing in the middle of the street with a peaceful expression, and the government officials stood beside him like stars holding the moon.

Dugucheng hurried over, and before he had time to greet Fang Jun, he saw a group of soldiers escorting a few tied-up men fiercely and shoving them away.Although those men were bound firmly, they refused to accept it, and some even cursed at them.

"Fang Jun, are you still unreasonable? Our Zhang family does business according to our duty, why did we ever provoke you?"

"I really ate the guts of a leopard! Do you really think my Zhang family has no one?"

"Fang Jun, you wait for me, sooner or later I want you to look good!"

……

There was an uproar on the street.

Dugu sincerely said that it was as expected, when did Fang Jun back down?Even in the face of the eldest grandson's family, they are tough and hard horses, let alone a Xingyang Zhang family!Look, if you have a grudge, you don't stay overnight. If you cause trouble during the day, I will find you at night...

Going forward to greet Fang Jun: "The official is late, and I ask the governor to forgive me."

Fang Jun's face was as usual, even with a slight smile, he said softly: "It's not your fault, this operation is a surprise inspection by the officer on purpose, and I didn't notify you in advance, please forgive me."

Several voices sounded at the same time: "Don't dare, dare not."

Dugucheng looked, but it was Wei Dawu, Sicang Peisu, Sihu Yuwenwei and others from the Jingzhao Mansion who had just arrived in a hurry after being notified by Fang Jun.

A few people ignored it and shut up.

They all have backgrounds of the Guanlong Group. Although they are high-ranking officials in the Jingzhao Mansion, they have always been pushed aside by Fang Jun, and they are very oppressed.But the situation is not stronger than others, except for honestly shrinking your head, is it better to be tossed like Hou Mochen wok until you lose all your reputation and be dismissed from office?
Fang Jun can only be praised for one thing, that is, as long as you don't provoke him, he won't take the initiative to deal with you...

At this moment, several clerks walked out of Zhang's shop, holding account books in their hands, and said in front of Fang Jun, "I want to report to the Governor, all the facilities in the shop have been inspected, and there are more than ten hidden dangers involved. It's all on record."

"very good."

Fang Jun put his hands behind his back, with a calm expression on his face, he raised his voice and said: "My official has issued repeated orders, and the Jingzhao Mansion has issued notices several times, ordering all shops in Dongshi to remove fire hazards, and violators will be punished severely! But what happened? The Jingzhao Mansion is treating it as a decoration, and treating my words as fart!"

Dozens of merchants who were awakened around had already gathered dozens of people. At first, they thought that Fang Jun took down all the children of the Zhang family with such fanfare because of yesterday's incident, but only now did he know that Jingzhao Mansion was inspecting fire hazards.

But Fang Jun's words made this group of people suddenly startled.

This tone... Is it to settle the score?

Fang Jun looked around, snorted, and said in a loud voice: "How much money was burned in the fire in Ridong City a while ago? You don't think about worrying, but use this as a way to resist Jingzhao Mansion. It's really stupid You don’t need to take your own goods and servants seriously, but the Jingzhao Mansion is the parents of one party, so how can you sit idly by?”

He said solemnly to Dugucheng, Wei Dawu and the others: "Jingzhao Mansion must enforce the law in a civilized manner, and more importantly, enforce the law transparently. It is inevitable that others will say that I, Fang Jun, have planted the blame, so let's go in and check it now to see if it is related to the law." Whether there is any discrepancy in the record. If there is, bring it up to the official face to face; if not, sign on the record to prove that the illegal parts of Zhang's shop are all evidence."

Dugu Cheng understood...

Where is it that you let yourself and others prove the violation?It is clear that people like myself are required to present "Certificates of Voting!"

Their Dugu family has recently pledged their allegiance to the emperor, keeping up with the emperor's footsteps, and they have drifted away from the Guanlong Group, running counter to each other.But the emperor is worried!Who knows if you are half-hearted towards Qin Muchu?

Come on, sign here to confirm the Zhang family's illegality, even if they are in the same camp as Fang Jun and the emperor.Even these so-called illegal things are nothing at all, they are all faults picked out by Fang Jun casually, and the more so, as long as you sign this letter and draw this pledge, you will be completely opposed to Zhang...

Dugucheng gritted his teeth, regardless of the embarrassment on the faces of Wei Dawu and others, he respectfully said: "Why do you question the words of the governor?"

Dang even took the account book and brush from the clerk, signed and marked.

Now that you have decided to vote for the emperor's camp, you should be unwavering with one heart and one mind. The final end of the kind of stuff that is blown by the wind is that both sides are not pleasing to the both sides, and no one is to be seen.

Wei Dawu, Pei Su, Yu Wenwei and others looked at each other in blank dismay, how could they shirk Dugucheng's decisive move?

All right, sign it...

A smile appeared on the corner of Fang Jun's mouth, seeing several people signing and marking on the account book one after another, he raised his head and said: "The Zhang family's national policy of resisting the restoration of Jiandong City came first, followed by disobedience of the Jingzhao government's order, and let the fire It is a heinous crime to ignore the safety of human life if there are hidden dangers! If you don’t punish severely, how can you maintain discipline? Come here, and demolish these shops of the Zhang family... to this official!"

The shopkeepers and servants of the other shops on the street were originally watching the excitement, but they were dumbfounded when they heard Fang Jun's words.

This is... dismantled?
