Invincible from the beginning of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 154

As soon as Peng Chengguo started to attack, Zhang Ming came to kill him.

Zhang Ming sent people to surround the county government office, and Fang Zheng surrounded them regardless of Wentu's protests, and then ignored it.

One day passed, and the counties around Liu County started selling salted fish again.

The other county magistrates returned the salted fish.

The next day, someone delivered the letter overnight, and finally the next morning, the Prime Minister of Peng Chengguo received the news.

Guoxiang is the prefect, and he handles everything big and small.

"It doesn't make sense."

"Does Zhang Ming want to rebel?"

"Lead troops to surround the county government office, and even frame others for rebellion."

At this time, Shi Wen, the Prime Minister of Pengcheng, was losing his temper in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

His aide stepped forward and said, "Master, you need to come forward to resolve this matter. Zhang Ming is unreasonable and has already surrounded the county government. Without you, the other counties have already started to retreat."

This is inevitable, the other county magistrates, who can block Zhang Ming's soldiers, who dare to fight against Zhang Ming.

"Assemble three thousand soldiers and horses, and go to Liu County."

This Shi Wen knew the seriousness of the matter, he had to come forward, and also wrote to Tao Qian and the Cao family, asking them to find a way to deal with it quickly.

Shi Wen personally led [-] troops to set off.

There was a strange feeling in the whole Pengcheng country.

The county magistrate of Liu County was surrounded by a foreign prefect.

Zhang Ming spread the news. There are many crimes, and he can add all he can think of.

In addition, Zhang Ming also openly sent people to Luoyang to file a complaint, all the way high-profile.

Anecdotally, many surrounding counties are spreading rumors that the salted fish is being seized for personal gain and to raise military pay for rebellion.

All these crimes were spread among the people, and those county magistrates who had detained the salted fish were terrified.

After Zhang Ming surrounded the county government, he emptied the surrounding streets, and they were stationed here, as if they didn't intend to leave.

They settled down, and Qiu did nothing wrong, just waiting here.

"My lord, we have received news that the Prime Minister of Pengcheng is leading his troops here," said a scout.

Zhang Ming laughed sarcastically and said, "Come on, they still dare to attack me, but this time there is no blood, I still don't want to stop."

Zhang Ming is not in a hurry, the news of this matter has not been fully spread, so we have to wait three to five days before it spreads throughout Xuzhou.

The seven major salt merchants in Xiapi City are also facing tremendous pressure on this matter.

The order goes down, and the confiscation of Xiapi City begins in an all-round way.

When it was confiscated, it was found that there were not many salted fish, and the ones on the road had been blocked.

It seemed that this matter could be resolved quickly, at the cost of completely offending Zhang Ming.

The first day passed without conflict between the two sides.

Zhang Ming and the others are very restrained, as long as they come to seize the salted fish, they will not resist and let them seize it.

During the seizure, they also found a large amount of copper coins, which were used to sell salted fish.

However, these aristocratic families did not dare to arrest people, nor did they dare to confiscate the money.

The salted fish was seized and the shop was closed.

As the day passed, most of the salted fish were not sold.

The next day, basically no one was selling salted fish.

"In two days, when the price of salted fish goes up, we will rush out a batch of goods. We really can't stand it anymore," Cao Xing said to the others.

The others also nodded, this time the matter made them very bad.

Several aristocratic families expressed the need to sell some salted fish to restore blood.

Another day later, in Xiapi City, there was still a sound of crusade in the market.

The government has put up a list to refute the rumors, claiming that selling salted fish is illegal and only for salted fish.

However, this list is powerless. People still target Tao Qian, saying that Tao Qian is going to rebel, but the seven major salt merchants are their accomplices.

At this time, the whole big man was so chaotic, and people often rebelled. Tao Qian might not be able to do anything about it, but when the public opinion was raging, the court would take him down first, believe it or not.

Tao Qian is a veteran of politics and has already seen the crisis.

Things continued to develop.

On the other side of Pengcheng Kingdom, the Prime Minister finally arrived with three thousand soldiers.

"Zhang Ming, you led your troops to surround the county government office, do you want to rebel?"

Shi Wen brought people over, and the streets were full of soldiers and horses.

Zhang Ming sat on the horse and said, "Don't dare."

Zhang Ming looked back at the county government, and then said to Shi Wen: "Since the Prime Minister is here, this Wentu's rebellion will naturally be handed over to the Prime Minister."

"You're talking nonsense, how could this county magistrate Wen rebel."

Zhang Ming'an sat on the horse, both of them were prefects, and he didn't look like he wanted to get off the horse to greet him.

Zhang Ming said: "Wen Tu plundered the people's property, amassed wealth, and intended to rebel. The evidence of the crime is solid. If you don't believe me, go to the street and ask. I don't know how many people have seen it."

"."

What should Shi Wen say at this time?
Said that it was his order to check and buckle the salted fish?
Does Zhang Ming also regard him as a rebel?

Shi Wen didn’t know what to do at this time.

It stands to reason that this is his home field, and Zhang Ming is an outsider, so don't pay attention to it at all.

"Zhang Ming, this is Xuzhou. If the case is settled, it's not your turn to decide whether the county magistrate Wen rebelled or not. Xuzhou should be the one to convict."

Zhang Ming nodded clearly, and then said: "Wentu must be handed over to Xuzhou, but the prefect has already reported to the court. In order to prevent Wentu from escaping and contact his accomplices, I will work harder. Watch it."

"It's better, the Prime Minister of the country should arrest his accomplices first, and confirm Wentu's criminal evidence. Don't worry, I will see that he will not escape."

Zhang Ming spat out his words, and Shi Wen didn't know how to answer.

This Zhang Ming made it clear that he didn't want to let him go, so could he still kill and rob him?

Zhang Ming charged Ann with treason, and now there are evidences of the crime, the matter is very difficult to resolve.

"Zhang Ming, this is Xuzhou. We will do the investigation and hand over the person to the officer first."

Although Shi Wen didn't know what to do, he also knew that people could not be in Zhang Ming's hands, otherwise he would not be able to explain clearly.

Zhang Ming ignored it, turned and left directly.

And Shi Wen didn't dare to attack. Once the two sides mobilized troops, the matter would become more complicated.

Shi Wen also thought about whether to charge Zhang Ming with treason, and then kill him.

But he just thought about it, he didn't have that ability, nor did he have that courage.

Just him, a small prefect-level official, couldn't afford it at all.

The two sides confronted each other there.

However, the effect was very good, and salted fish began to be sold again in other places.

Officials everywhere have withdrawn the established cards.

The salted fish was brought in again and sold again.

Once again, Xuzhou fell into a disadvantage.

Shi Wen's negotiations still had no effect. Unless he did something to Zhang Ming, Zhang Ming wouldn't bother to pay attention to him.

The two sides were confronting each other, but Shi Tian was so anxious that he didn't know what to say.

Zhang Ming's behavior is completely rebellious. If he is brave, it may be fine if he really takes Zhang Ming down, but no one dares.
