Chapter 287 Reaction
this afternoon.

Yuan Zonggao had been to the state government office, and when he came back, he went to see Zhu Youzhao alone, without even calling Zhang Zuo.

In the study, Yuan Zonggao truthfully told Zhu Youzhao what he had heard in the state office in detail.

After hearing this, Zhu Youtang's face became serious.

"...Yuan Changshi, there have always been bandits in the Huguang area, why do you say that the bandits are targeting me at Xingwang's mansion? Is the detailed confession of the people who came to the city to spy on the news credible?"

It turned out that the inspection department had captured several spies who went to the city to spy on the news, and there was a bandit leader among them. After being tortured, he learned that the bandits were about to attack Anlu Prefecture, and the target was Wangzhuang, which was outside the city of Xingwangfu.

Of course Zhu Youtang felt that the news was too nonsense.

Anyway, Prince Xing's Mansion is also a member of the royal family, and there is a formal armed force under the Prince's Manor Guards Department, how dare a group of bandits like you make trouble for the Prince's Mansion?
Tired of life crooked it!
Yuan Zonggao sighed: "I didn't believe it before I came down, but after seeing Kuang Zhizhou himself and reading the case files, I found out that the bandits came from Jiangxi, and they obviously had a close relationship with... Ning Fan of Nanchang Mansion. .”

"hiss."

Zhu Youzhu took a breath.

Ordinary thieves, not to mention targeting the Xingwang Mansion, even facing ordinary county government officials would run for their lives.

But this time the intelligence showed that the bandits who threatened the safety of Anlu Prefecture were backed by King Ning, so their courage was definitely not comparable to that of ordinary small-time thieves.

"King Xing, what I'm saying is not pleasant to say. Bohu is in King Xing's mansion. Although he has never publicized it to the outside world, he has lived in Anlu for more than a year. He even went back to his hometown to visit his relatives before. It is inevitable that he will not be targeted by Ning Fan. ... Ning Fan dare not openly oppose the Woxing Palace, but if he uses conspiracy and deceitful means to cause trouble..."

Yuan Zonggao asked a very realistic question.

King Xing's Mansion is not in the border of Jiangxi, and has nothing to do with King Ning, so it should be safe and sound.

But the problem is that there is a festival between Xing Wangfu and Ningwangfu because of Tang Yin.

Tang Yin escaped from Nanchang City pretending to be crazy, and probably knew some inside stories about King Ning's rebellion, but this room was taken in by Prince Xing's mansion. From King Ning's point of view, you are clearly not giving me face.

On the surface, I can't do anything to you Xing Wangfu, but I will command some errand thieves to go to Anlu Prefecture to make trouble, and rob the Wangzhuang by the way, so that the Xingwang Mansion will not be peaceful, and by the way, it will hit your economic lifeline... ...This is not difficult for Prince Ning's Mansion.

Zhu Youzhu frowned and said: "Yuan Changshi, you have done an analysis before, and Tang Jiaoxi may know the inside story of Prince Ning's treason. Look at this... Is it necessary to report it to the court? Prince Ning's house dares to use bandits to make trouble, if so Will it be too cowardly to tolerate it from time to time?"

In the past, Prince Xing's Mansion didn't want to care about what Prince Ning's Mansion was doing in Jiangxi, but now that they are bullying him, if they still just avoid it, wouldn't it be too weak?
How will the world view Xing Wangfu?
Yuan Zonggao shook his head: "Yuan once worked in Jiangxi for a year, and he has a deep experience. King Ning is good at buying and deceiving people's hearts, and the court is even full of treacherous people. The court's report of King Ning's lawlessness was covered up by his clever words.

"I myself am building the palace, and the relationship between the court and China is not good. If those gangsters slander me, saying that my palace is causing trouble, and if I have the heart of disobedience..."

Zhu Youzhao frowned.

Even if Yuan Zonggao didn't go on, Zhu Youjuan realized that this old and prudent palace chief Shi had always maintained that he should cut off contact with the people in the court, be wise and safe, and be ready to go.

It's okay to be low-key in the past, but the problem is that now that Prince Ning's mansion is about to ride on his own head to shit and piss, do you want to retreat?
Yuan Zonggao said: "King Xing, according to what the old man sees, we must quickly organize people to complete the spring plowing, and strengthen the guards in the villages. Once the bandits attack, we should respond in time... In addition, the old and weak women and children in the Wangzhuang outside the city should be one step earlier. Move to the city and settle down."

Zhu Youzhao shook his head: "The houses in the city are limited, how can there be so many places to house them?"

Yuan Zonggao smiled and said, "Isn't there Zhu Hao?"

"Um!?"

Zhu Youtang never thought that this kind of thing could have something to do with Zhu Hao.

Yuan Zonggao changed his solemn expression before, and said with a smile: "Su Xigui, Huang Fantai's brother-in-law, is in charge of the family. He has some local properties. You can ask him for help in this matter. If Huang Fantai is concerned about the chaos in Anlu and understands that it is difficult to get out of the Xingwang Palace, there is no need To formally send out troops, as long as the troops are mobilized a little to create momentum, the bandits will not dare to be rampant.

"Furthermore, Zhu Hao and his mother run a collapsed house business, and the family property is quite rich. There may be idle houses in the local area that can be borrowed for Xing Wangfu."

Apparently Yuan Zonggao didn't know the details of Zhu Niang's mother and son, and thought that the business was very big and that his subordinates also had a lot of property.

But I don't know that Zhu Niang is afraid of being missed by Zhu's family, even if she buys land, it will be outside the city. As for the house, there is only one old house, and the others are real estate purchased by Zhu Hao secretly, which has never been disclosed to the public. The old and weak women and children who moved to the city obviously did not have that strength.

Zhu Youzhu nodded happily: "Then I will leave this matter to Yuan Changshi."

……

……

Previously, because of the absence of Zhang Jingming and Yuan Zonggao, the head of the palace, Shi Si was overwhelmed by Cheng Fengsi. After Yuan Zonggao came back, he failed in the internal struggle with Zhang Zuo, which made the recent decline of Chang Shi Si obvious.

This time through the incident of robbery and chaos, Yuan Zonggao was determined to regain his power.

Zhang Zuo only owns the control of the warehouse and the big account of the palace, but there are bandits outside the city, so he needs to communicate with the government. Convenient.

As for mobilizing manpower and material resources to prevent theft, it is naturally better for a wise elder like Yuan Zonggao to be in charge. No matter what you say, you Zhang Zuo are just slaves. In the eyes of the world, once major events happen, only scholars can decide.

The house slave is in charge of the house slave's affairs. Although the palace knows that you are loyal, but the overall military and money scheduling, the house slave should stand aside first and obey orders.

After Zhang Zuo learned about this, his first reaction was to discuss with Tang Yin.

He, Zhang Zuo, could not replace Yuan Zonggao's position in the palace, but if Tang Yin was added, he would have a chance to be stalwart. When he arrived at the East Court, he was told that Tang Yin, Fan Yikuan, Lu Song, and Jiang Lun were not there that day, so they made an appointment We went out to the palace to drink together, and we may not come back until very late.

Zhang Zuo was very anxious, but helpless.

After all, Tang Yin is serving King Xing and giving advice to Zhang Zuo. He thinks highly of you, but he is not obliged to listen to your schedule in everything. Besides, you are not the one who pays Tang Yin...

Zhang Zuo suddenly realized that winning over Tang Yin was the top priority right now.

……

……

At this moment, Zhu Hao went home to meet his mother, and went to worship in front of his father's coffin, and told him the good news of being the head of the county case. Then he changed his clothes and went out of the city to handle errands.

Shopkeeper Ma came to the house in the morning and said that he had business matters to discuss. Zhu Hao speculated that it had something to do with the mirror business of Ouyang's family.

In fact, in the past two days, Zhu Hao also vaguely learned that Jiangxi bandits fled to the border of Huguang, colluding with local bandits to plunder Jiangbei prefectures and counties, and now they have broken down some villages built by landlords and gentry, burning, killing and looting.

Piracy has long existed in Jiangxi.

The two successive governors of southern Jiangxi failed to quell the banditry. Wang Shouren, who knew nothing about soldiers, was used by the court to deal with the bandits with all his strength, but there was no immediate effect for the time being.

According to historical records, bandits were rampant in Jiangxi Zhengde for about ten years. The main reason was the collusion between officials and bandits.The bandits will break up into pieces and hide in the deep mountains and old forests, and then come out to loot after the government dies down.

In areas with relatively strong imperial power, such as around Nanchang Mansion and Wuchang Mansion, bandits dare not provoke them at all, but in areas with relatively weak defenses, such as the two counties under the jurisdiction of Anlu Prefecture...

When the bandits came, the government basically closed the gates of the city, and each village formed a stronghold to protect itself, waiting for the bandits to attack. After the bandits plundered and found that there was not much oil and water, they would naturally move to the next area until the government organized troops. Ma Qing suppressed, and then ran to the deep mountains and old forests to hide.

Back and forth.

Zhu Hao took people to the Han River, and found that the ferry was patrolled by soldiers and horses from the inspection department.

Merchants gather at the Hanshui Wharf, and the trade is developed. The goods from the south of the Yangtze River and Bashu disembark from here and transport them to the neighboring state capital. If the bandits approach, the wooden fence can last for a period of time when soldiers and horses are stationed.

The thieves and bandits have repeatedly succeeded in robbing houses, mainly because they are flexible and flexible. They rely on their marching speed to fight guerrillas against the government. Kou came and couldn't attack.

"Little Boss."

Shopkeeper Ma bowed his hands and saluted after seeing Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao smiled and asked, "I'm so anxious to find you, but is there any news from Ouyang's family?"

Shopkeeper Ma sighed: "I've been waiting so anxiously... After hearing what my little boss said, I sent someone to take a fast boat to catch up with the cargo ship at Anqing Mansion in Nanzhili. I bought a steward from Ouyang's family and asked him to open the box to check The situation in the mirror, and only then did the matter be uncovered... Last night Ouyang's family came to the mansion shop to inquire about related matters, but at that time he hesitated and tried his best to cover it up.

"She came again early this morning, and her attitude became agitated. She asked us to give her justice, or she would be troubled by the government. I went to your house and found no one. When I came back, she pointed at my nose and scolded me for a long time. This is so angry." Rush back to the city...how about a meeting with the little boss at the inn?"

Shopkeeper Ma is a businessman of duty, but under Zhu Hao's influence, he already has the potential to be a profiteer. When he mentioned the reaction of the female head of Ouyang's family, his face was full of gloating expression.
