Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 626 Fishing law enforcement, all in one catch!
Liu Qing from the Liu family suddenly went straight to the Yamen, and the whole news soon reached Chen Zhi's ears.

"Stop!" Chen Zhi waved his hand, then smiled at Chen Zi and said: "Qiao Xing, go over there and take charge of the matter. Block the news first and guard the streets around the Yamen. If anyone wants to go in, let them in. , but none of them can be released!"

Chen Zi was slightly startled when he heard the words, but he understood immediately and bowed down to accept the order: "No! I will go and do it now. Since the enemy army has been defeated, Su Sima is enough to do the rest."

Chen Zhi nodded and said with a smile: "This opportunity is rare, why not clean up the inside and outside together, the enemy outside has already emerged, and the hidden danger inside should also surface. This is fishing law enforcement, and then catch them all in one go."

Chen Zi was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly after tasting it for a moment, and then left with the others.

at the same time.

Daijun Yamen is still full of solemn atmosphere at this moment. Many officials are gathered here, whether it is Liu Bao, Lan Luo, Zhou Ao and others from Daijun Yamen, or Lu Dao, the magistrate of Daijun Yamen. Wait, everyone gathered together, waiting for the news.

The county magistrate Lu Dao originally wanted to follow the example of the magistrates who defended the city and went out to organize it. However, the enemy troops were coming with ferocious force. He just took a look at the city and felt that he was outnumbered. Then Zheng Ru came over to persuade him to surrender. , and then went down to the top of the city as a matter of course.

When he got down there, he was still sweating, and then he realized that not everyone could do such a brave thing. Fortunately, Chen Zhi asked him to go back to rest and take charge of the situation, so he refused. , anyway, this city is led by Chen Zhi, his immediate boss, so there is no need for Lu Dao to worry too much.

This time when he returned, he did not go back to the county government office. Instead, he went straight to the county governor's house, under the banner that Chen Zhi asked him to come over and take charge of the situation.

"Is there any news coming from the north gate?"

Sitting in the hall, Lu Dao still found it difficult to rest at peace. Whenever there was any disturbance outside, he would get up and ask. At this time, there were soldiers walking in a hurry, which attracted him to ask.

The soldier came over and reported: "Qi Lu Ling, there is no news from the city gate, but there seems to be some movement in the courtyard behind. Do you want to go over and let them be quiet?"

This was said very euphemistically, but Lu Dao knew what it meant.

Aren't the people in the courtyard behind right now the elders and gossipers of the city's aristocratic families?This group of people were placed under house arrest, which clearly showed that Chen Zhi did not trust them.

However, as a former official, Lu Dao also knew that this group of people cannot be trusted, because they appear to be human beings, but in fact they are just the executors of the family's will. Faced with the situation of the army siege, in order to protect the family, When it comes time to betray Chen Zhi, there will be no hesitation. Even if it is not until the last moment, as long as they see the slightest sign that something is wrong, they will take action immediately.

Moreover, in order not to leave any trouble for the family, once this group of people betrayed Chen Zhi, they would do their best to prevent Chen Zhi from having a chance to make a comeback, at least in the North.

Thinking about it this way, it is indeed a clever move to put the leader of the family under house arrest before starting the war.

"But for such a clever trick, once Chen Shou dares to do it, anyone else has to weigh his own weight. Otherwise, if he survives this difficulty and faces the family's revenge afterwards, that will be enough to eat a pot. Maybe It forced the families who were hostile to each other to unite and isolate people."

Thinking in his mind, Lu Dao couldn't help but shook his head slightly, thinking that Chen Zhi was like this. He recruited martial arts from several major families to form his own strength, and even defeated a small Xianbei tribe, so that he would not be afraid of the family's revenge. Bar.

At this time, the soldier asked again: "Lu Ling, how do you want to deal with this matter? But do you want to go over and calm it down?"

After listening to these words, Lu Dao knew that the leaders of the aristocratic families were complaining and causing trouble. He couldn't help but secretly thought that he had no ability to provoke these people. As the magistrate of the county, I always compromised with this aristocratic family. Even the former prefect also Want to join forces vertically and horizontally, but how can you afford to provoke them?
Thinking like this, he couldn't help but say: "The gentlemen were also frightened by the thieves outside the city, and they happened to gather in one place. So there are many words to say. There is no need to over-interpret them. Let them talk. This is too much to say. I said in my heart Maybe I can feel more comfortable, but the top priority is to quickly find out the situation of the war outside the city. You can go investigate quickly and don't waste your energy on the backyard."

The soldier was able to come and summon the message, and he was also a smart person. He heard the deep meaning when he heard the words. It was just that all the nobles from the aristocratic families were arrested and put under house arrest. How could they be prohibited from complaining?You might as well let them talk, as long as it can relieve their anger.

But in this kind of thing, how can you calm down just by talking?You must take action to make your mind clear.

The independent courtyard at the back was actually one of the residences arranged by the imperial court for the prefects. However, most of the subsequent eunuchs would add properties in the city. Over time, the imperial court followed the local customs and arranged residences for the prefects in the city. In this way, The courtyard became empty, and was sometimes used to hold banquets for the prefect, or as a place to rest after official duties.But now, there are many people gathered here, all of them have extraordinary bearings, and there are even a few elderly people who look majestic.

However, they didn't seem to be in a good mood, especially after hearing what the Liu family member Liu Jian said——

"Everyone, please think about it carefully, how can he, the Governor Chen, be justified this time?" Liu Jiang did not sit down, but stood in the middle of the crowd, making an impassioned speech, "Now that things have happened, we should have a clear look at the behavior of this Governor He has made it clear that he doesn’t trust us, so that’s fine, but what is the source of this distrust?”

He glanced at the crowd, and seeing that he had resonated with them, he couldn't help but feel proud, but his face was calm, still filled with righteous indignation, and then he said righteously: "It's not because he offended General Wang!"

After hearing this sentence, the expressions of everyone present changed. Many people even looked at each other, and they all saw deep worries in each other's eyes.

"Who is standing behind Xianbei in this section? I think some of the gentlemen present know it better than me!" Liu Jiang continued, "Do you think future generations of the county will have peace in this matter? Say something about it. If it’s a taboo, it’s not an exaggeration to say that that person is the Heaven of Youzhou! Not to mention, the current army is sieging the city, or it’s a surprise attack, and even this level may not be able to survive!”

This statement can be said to have aroused worries in everyone's hearts. In fact, many aristocratic families were uneasy before this, and many people had second thoughts, otherwise they would not have detained Wu Ding who was supposed to be sent to Chen Zhi.

It's a pity that Chen Zhi has already mastered most of the martial arts, and is much stronger than all the major families. Coupled with the residual power of defeating Kebo Zhenbu, people still dare not act rashly.

However, everything has its limit. I thought the situation in Dai County was unstable, but the general from Duan Xianbei unexpectedly led a large army in a surprise attack!This could be fatal and give the people of the aristocratic families in the city a feeling of impending disaster!

"To put it bluntly, they summoned us all not only to force our family to contribute, but also to use us as hostages to threaten the family members, so that we will pay a heavy price for his mistakes and shed the last drop of our blood!"

At the end of the speech, Liu Jiang tried his best to look sad, but what he said made everyone couldn't help but nod in agreement.

Finally, Wang Huo of the Wang family looked at his ancestor and asked carefully: "Grandpa Mingjian, how should we deal with this matter now?"

Grandpa Wang was the person with the highest status in Dai County and even Dai County. It was said that he was related to Wang Jun. Hearing this, he shrugged his eyes, shook his head slightly and said, "Since the prefect allows us to be here, Wait, then just wait. Although he is a strong person, he knows how to advance and retreat. If we wait to protect ourselves, we will lose our land and money at most, but as long as our lives are still there, it is good."

As soon as these words were said, everyone who had just been aroused by Liu Jiang's words could not help but be stunned, as if a basin of cold water had extinguished the fire in their hearts.

At this time, the princes of the Zhu family and the Tang family also agreed and said similar things.

Even Tang Dian said: "In this current situation, when we are united as one, it is inevitable that the governor will be worried, but as long as we can stay safe and keep ourselves safe, and when the matter is over, the governor will know that we can be trusted, and we will definitely entrust him with important responsibilities in the future." .”

"The question is whether we can get through it!" Liu Jiang saw that something was wrong with the situation and that the direction of the wind was about to change. He immediately jumped out and continued to fan the flames. "To be honest, the current situation is far more difficult than imagined. There are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. ! And how many people did Taishou Chen have? There were thousands of people in total, and most of them were left in the city. It is unclear whether there are 3000 people in Dai County. This is because he was not prepared in advance. The barbarians made a surprise attack again, giving no time to react at all. I really don’t think highly of the city defense this time, so you should think clearly!”

As soon as these words came out, the Taigong remained unconvinced. At most, they opened their eyes and glanced at Taigong Liu. Seeing that the old man had an attitude that it had nothing to do with him and let the junior talk, they almost understood what he meant.

Liu Jiang's words undoubtedly swayed some people, and they followed him and continued: "Everyone, in fact, I have been prepared for a long time. I saw in advance that Governor Chen was wary of us and might have some intentions, so I contacted the two parties a long time ago. On one side is Mr. Wu Jie, who has been under house arrest for a long time, and on the other side is the member of the Tuoba tribe who has been under house arrest just now!"

As he spoke, he glanced outside, as if looking at the time, and then said: "Counting the time, my people have already taken action. In addition, I just got the news from a secret channel. The Hu people also sent Someone came to recruit us, offered us generous terms, and even wanted to see us before making a decision, but Chen Zhi flatly refused. If nothing else, this person will come over and join us, and then it will be time to bring order to the chaos!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar. Even Taigong Liu couldn't help but open his eyes and looked at Liu Jian, with a little surprise in his eyes.
