Rebirth of the best emperor

Chapter 158
After Wang Mang finished speaking, everyone present was stunned.

No one thought that Wang Mang would suddenly say such words and issue such orders at this time. Qian Guangda and others looked at Wang Mang like a fool. Who did he think he was?He actually wanted to take them all down?What a joke!
But seeing Wang Mang's order and the weapons raised high by the group of yamen servants following Lu Yuan, Qian Guangda couldn't laugh anymore, and said loudly with his eyes wide open: "What do you want to do? I'm from this county. Cheng, if there is no imperial decree, who would dare to arrest me?"

When Qian Guangda said this, the yamen servants who raised their weapons to arrest people couldn't help but cast their eyes on Wang Mang. Seeing that it was effective, Qian Guangda looked at Wang Mang with a sneer and said, "Wang, what are you pretending to be here? Big-tailed wolf? Why are you with six doors and seven doors? I’m afraid you won’t succeed if I’m an official? This is Xinyang City, and this is my territory. Why are you shouting for me to be taken down here?”

"Why do you ask me?" Wang Mang grinned and said, "I rely on the imperial decree!"

"Imperial decree?" Qian Guangda's complexion changed, and he sneered, "Who are you bluffing? I never believe that the imperial court has an imperial decree to arrest me!"

"It is true that there is no imperial decree to arrest you." Wang Mang nodded, and then said: "But I was ordered by the imperial decree to thoroughly investigate the case of Wang Wengui, the envoy of the Weishui River. After leaving Xinyang City, the head arrester suspected that someone in Xinyang City was secretly colluding with Wang Wengui. Today, Mr. Lu searched all over the city for profiteers. Some profiteers in the city are somewhat involved. Originally, the head arrester only thought that this matter was related to profiteers, but seeing you now..."

Wang Mang pointed at Qian Guangda, and said coldly, "I understand who is behind Wang Wengui's escape!"

Qian Guangda looked at Wang Mang with an ugly expression, and said, "I don't know what you're talking about."

"I really don't know?" Wang Mang sneered, and said, "The reason why I am looking for these profiteers is to investigate Wang Wengui's escape. I have already found some clues, but you jumped out at this time. How dare you say you jumped out now?" Isn’t it to protect these profiteers? Do you dare to say that you didn’t protect these profiteers to cover up the fact that you were covering Wang Wengui’s escape from Xinyang City? I’m just saying that Wang Wengui’s escape is strange, if you secretly guide it, then everything will make sense!”

Qian Guangda opened his mouth wide, his nose was almost distorted by Wang Mang, and he shouted, "You slander!"

"Slander?" Wang Mang said with a chuckle: "The pure will be cleared, and the turbid will be turbid. Now the head arrester has taken you down according to the imperial decree, and will interrogate you strictly. If it is really irrelevant, you will naturally be released. If it is, Then I trouble you to confess as soon as possible, so as to avoid the pain of flesh and blood!"

"It's pure slander! It's too deceitful!" Qian Guangda yelled, and the pawns, book offices, and yamen servants behind him also yelled. Some of them belonged to the four major families, and some were arrested. Coming here under coercion, now seeing that the other party is going to make a real move, I am immediately dumbfounded!

Wang Mang ignored the yelling of Qian Guangda and others, but just looked at the servants around him coldly, and said, "What are you waiting for? Could it be that you are also related to that traitor Wang Wengui!"

When the yamen servants heard this, they immediately raised their weapons and aimed directly at Qian Guangda and the others. Naturally, the yamen servants on Qian Guangda's side would not be arrested without a fight, and they all raised their weapons, but their momentum was obviously much worse.

Wang Mang looked at everything in front of him, and said coldly: "What's the matter? Still want to resist? At this time, if you are caught without a fight, you are still a member of the court order, but if you resist, you are a traitor!"

Lu Yuan also said: "In the capacity of the Xinyang Order, I order you to put down your weapons and cooperate with the six gates to investigate Wang Wengui's escape!"

The head catchers behind Qian Guangda look at me, I look at you, and finally put down their weapons helplessly. As we said, if they really resist at this moment, they are really traitors. Among the six members of the imperial court, one is Xinyang Ling, and the righteousness is on the other side.

And most importantly, you can't beat it!The opponent's yamen servants were all drawn from the barracks, and their background as a soldier was originally stronger than their local yamen servants. In addition, the opponent also had a ruthless man Wang Mang who killed Yan Hao's group by himself. No matter how you look at it, he lost.

Seeing the yamen servants put down their weapons, Qian Guangda felt ashamed immediately, and shouted unwillingly: "Lu Yuan, you can see clearly, in front of you are the Xinyang county magistrate, Liufang clerk, book office and other people from Xinyang. County officials, if we are arrested, how can you, a county magistrate, govern a county!"

"..." Lu Yuan stared at the gang of bastards in front of him, and was so angry that these people dared to threaten him with these things at this moment. Don't you know that Lu Yuan wants to come or not?

Seeing that Lu Yuan stared and did not speak, Qian Guangda felt that there was something going on, so he continued to shout: "Lu Yuan, if something happens to us, you, the county magistrate, don't even want to run away. We are all grasshoppers with one thread, and no one else will let us go." Who do you want to leave!"

Wang Mang said directly at this time: "What a joke, a group of prisoners dared to threaten the court order!"

Turning his head, Wang Mang looked at Lu Yuan and said, "Lord Lu, can it be said that the Lu family in Pingyao can't even bring out a few small officials and book offices?"

As soon as Wang Mang's words fell, Qian Guangda and the others turned their hopeful eyes away, and their faces turned pale. They immediately realized that they had lost, and it was only then that they realized that the long-term arrogance made them take themselves too seriously. It's over.

"Take it all!" Wang Mang gave an order, this time the yamen servants acted very quickly, rushed forward viciously, directly knocked down the leader Qian Guangda, and then took down the sixth house pawn, the book office, etc. Finally tied the servants together with a rope, then looked at Wang Mang and the others and said, "My lord, what should we do now?"

"The county magistrate, the officials, and the book office will be directly locked in the prison, and I will check them one by one when I find time." Wang Mang gave an order, then looked at the servants and said, "As for this group of people, except for the leaders, they will be locked in the prison. , all the others were taken to the lobby, each person was given twenty big boards, one tael of silver for soup and medicine, and all were sent home for self-reflection!"

"Yes." Everyone looked at Wang Mang with different expressions, nodded their heads one after another, and then pressed Qian Guangda and the others to leave directly.

The taking away of Qian Guangda and others became the last straw that overwhelmed the psychological defense of all the businessmen. At this time, they were completely dumbfounded, and they all knelt on the ground and shouted: "My lord, we have no intention of embarrassing your lord!" , it’s all the four major families who have entrapped us, my lord knows it!”

Looking at the merchants, Wang Mang and Lu Yuan looked at each other and smiled.

Snapped!
A precious teacup was slammed on the ground and shattered into pieces. Zhao Si stared at the attendant in front of him with a gloomy expression, and slapped the attendant flying out. He slapped the table and was furious. Said: "Lu Yuan, Wang honestly bullied me too much!"
