The king behind the empress

Chapter 249 Yuan Lianghan's Decision
After Yan Wenfu was beheaded, several of Yuan Penghai's confidantes wanted to take advantage of the opportunity, but they were easily beheaded by Liu Hong, and then the situation was easily controlled by Shi Zhipei.

After all, he has the status of a censor, and now he has killed Yan Wenfu and Yuan Penghai, who are in charge. Before the court has no new orders, Shi Zhipei is the highest official here. Naturally, the soldiers dare not fight him. Directly incorporated.

"Master Shi, the soldiers are under control, and their emotions are also very stable. There should be no diehard loyalists from Yuan Penghai."

Speaking of this matter, Liu Hong also felt quite helpless. When gathering those soldiers, he found that the soldiers were not too resistant. As a result, he asked curiously and found out that Yuan Penghai did not let these soldiers go at all. In my mind, Yuan Penghai's confidantes are still secretly lending usury to these soldiers, not to mention the arrears of military pay every three days.

As a result, Yuan Penghai defaulted on the payment of the army, and some of the soldiers below couldn't survive, so they would borrow usury from Yuan Penghai's confidantes, but usury is a thing of interest, and these soldiers without money can't even eat How can I pay it back.

As a result, Yuan Penghai's confidantes often took more than half of the soldiers' salaries as soon as they were paid. If they were not afraid of starving to death, they would have to recruit more people, and they might not be able to keep the money for food.

For a long time, these soldiers did not have much money in their hands, but they owed more and more. According to the soldier Liu Hong asked, there was one most unlucky soldier who owed money based on his salary alone. Three lifetimes are not enough.

Therefore, after Shi Zhipei said that the usury they owed before was cancelled, and that they would be paid the military salary owed to them, these soldiers immediately turned to Shi Zhipei.

"Deducting military pay and allowing his subordinates to lend usury, Yuan Penghai really doesn't treat these soldiers as human beings."

Shi Zhipei showed disgust on his face, "Based on this alone, his death is not a pity."

Hearing what Shi Zhipei said, Liu Hong shook his head and didn't say much. Because of his family background, although he was in the palace, he knew more about these things than Shi Zhipei, and Yuan Peng was not the only one in the Great Zhou who was deducting military pay. The sea does.

Except for the first emperor's direct line troops and frontier troops in the east, the county soldiers all over the country have been deducting military pay, and now it has become the norm, but there is no need to mention this matter to Shi Zhipei, so Liu Hong also He didn't say much, but asked, "Shi Gong, what about the Yuan family?"

"Yuan Penghai is the nephew of the head of the Yuan family. Now that he is dead, I am afraid the Yuan family will not let it go?"

"It's okay."

Shi Zhipei said to Liu Hong: "As long as the county soldiers are well controlled, as long as the Yuan family dare not openly rebel, they will not dare to act rashly."

"As for the court, even if the Yuan family exerts pressure on His Majesty in the court, there will be no blame until the disaster relief is completed."

Hearing what Shi Zhipei said, Liu Hong looked a little sad, because Shi Zhipei only talked about before the disaster relief, but did not say what would happen after the disaster relief.

Being an official in the imperial court does not mean that if you are a senior official, you can kill people who are younger than you at will. Any official with a rank in the imperial court, if there are no special circumstances, you need to report to the imperial court in advance if you want to kill them, and then the emperor will send them to the court. After the person is found out about the crime, he can then be beheaded.

Like Shi Zhipei beheaded Yuan Penghai before, because Shi Zhipei had a fake in his hands and had the power to kill him, so even if an official made trouble against Shi Zhipei, with Mo Zipei's domineering, it is estimated that Shi Zhipei could be killed. If it survives, even if the Yuan family is stubborn, it will be nothing more than a year or two of leisure.

But it's different now, without the slightest reason, killing a fourth-rank official without the slightest reason, if he is not severely punished, and he will follow suit in the future, wouldn't the officialdom be messed up.

Therefore, Liu Hong felt that it would be difficult for Mo Zizai to save Shi Zhipei.

But Liu Hong also knew very well that Shi Zhipei must have thought of the consequences when he made up his mind yesterday. After beheading Yan Wenfu and Yuan Penghai, he would have no more constraints in the Nanjun officialdom, and he could let go of his hands and feet. Went to disaster relief.

And after killing these two people, you can also deter the Yuan family by the way, because this action is to warn the Yuan family that I am going to risk my life, you better be honest with me, if you dare not be convinced, I will I will drag your Yuan family to be buried with me.

Liu Hong believed that the Patriarch of the Yuan family, who had a great family and a great career, would not dare to disagree with Shi Zhipei, even if he cared about his nephew, and would even cooperate extremely well.

After all, he still has a son after his nephew dies, but if Shi Zhipei is offended, Shi Zhipei, who has already killed the county guard and the county lieutenant, doesn't mind taking the surrounding county soldiers to slaughter his Yuan family.

"Hey, let's send people to watch Yuan Shi these two days, lest they get dizzy and do something irrational..."

Liu Hong sighed and didn't say any more. He could only hope that Mo Zizai could protect Shi Zhipei for Shi Zhipei's sake, at least to save his life.

……

In the Yuan Mansion, when Yuan Lianghan received the news, he directly flipped the table in front of him.

"You bastard, you dare to kill even members of my Yuan family!"

Yuan Lianghan's eyes were red, "This is in Nanjun, whoever gave him the courage, the old man will kill him!!!"

His second brother died young and entrusted Yuan Penghai to him before he died. For so many years, he has always regarded Yuan Penghai as half his son, otherwise he would not have pushed him to the position of Nanzhou County Captain At this time, when he heard that Yuan Penghai was killed by Shi Zhipei, he carried a knife to find Shi Zhipei desperately.

"Master, calm down, calm down!"

Yuan Lianghan's housekeeper held Yuan Lianghan firmly, and said quickly: "Shi Zhipei not only killed the third master, he also killed Yan Wenfu. Although Yan Wenfu is a waste, he is a fourth-rank county guard after all. Jiajie also has no right to kill him, so Shi Zhipei must be dead this time, master, you just need to let the court side exert strength and wait for Shi Zhipei to die, don't be in a hurry."

"I don't want to wait a moment!!!"

Yuan Lianghan roared angrily, "Give me Qi Huyuan and the servant, I will let him die now!!!"

"My lord, I can't help it!"

The butler pulled Yuan Lianghan, his clothes were almost torn, "Shi Zhipei obviously didn't intend to die, and he also recruited the county soldiers under the third master. If you really go, then I, Yuan Shi It's over."

Hearing the housekeeper's words, Yuan Lianghan was silent for a moment, then kicked the fallen table far away, "Get out, get out!"

Seeing that Yuan Lianghan didn't yell about killing Shi Zhipei any more, the butler knew that he had listened, and didn't stay any longer, and immediately led a group of servants out of Yuan Lianghan's room, and closed the door for him when he left. .

After the butler left, Yuan Lianghan immediately changed his appearance. His actions just now were half true and half false. It was true that Yuan Penghai died and he was really sad. Pei Sikow, the attitude just now is more for other people to see.

"Penghai..."

Yuan Lianghan closed his eyes and shed a line of tears. From an emotional point of view, he really wanted to kill Shi Zhipei now, but from a rational point of view, he knew that if he really fought with Shi Zhipei, then the Yuan family would be over.

"Shi Zhipei is dead? Mo Zizai, how could he die!"

Yuan Lianghan opened his eyes suddenly, his eyes full of killing intent.

For Mo Zizai, he is more accurate than Shi Zhipei and Liu Hong. Mo Zizai is a pure lunatic, and he has killed all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. Now it is very easy to have a serious Shi Zhipei, how could Mo Zizai make people move Shizhipei.

As for the laws and regulations, those are bullshit. When did Mo Zizai care about that.

So others, even Shi Zhipei himself, thought he was dead, but Yuan Lianghan didn't think so.

"Mo Zizai will definitely not kill Shi Zhipei. As for the criticisms from the court, as long as Mo Zizai makes up his mind to protect him, no one dares to say anything."

Yuan Lianghan, who lives outside the temple, can see clearly than anyone else, but the more clearly he sees, the more painful he is. Shi Zhipei killed his nephew, and he will be safe and sound, and he may even be promoted. How could he accept such a thing.

"No one can kill me, Yuan Jiahai is safe and sound!"

Yuan Lianghan gritted his teeth and walked to the study room, and found the secret letter that he had read many times before. He hesitated before, so he didn't make up his mind to reply. Now Yuan Penghai's death directly made him make a decision in his heart. .

　Although it's a bit late, but I added [-] more words, does this count as a supplement... Forget it, the number of words is too small, so it doesn't count.
