Turbulent Times Chapter 391: Longxi Commander
Liu Fangyang can do things like kill Zhang Dehong, because the other party has too much black evidence in his hands, even if Li Shi doesn't let him do it, he has long wanted to kill the other party. But for killing Wang Junlin, although Liu Fangyang was the prefect of a county, he never dared to participate.
At this time, one of Liu Fangyang's confidants rushed over and said in a hurry: "My lord, it's not good!"
"What's the matter?" Liu Fangyang asked impatiently.
"The streets are full of troops. It seems that the goal is to arrest all of Li's people in the city!"
"Wang Junlin dared to do this before the court and the emperor spoke, and why was he in such a hurry..." Liu Fangyang's expression changed, and it was less than an hour before Wang Junlin's arrival.
…
A battle in the officialdom is just like a battle in the battlefield. Only mastering the initiative is the magic weapon to win. This is Wang Junlin's consistent strategic thinking. Jun Lin then formulated his own strategy. No matter how the Li family in Longxi and the officials of Longxi County interfered, he would not be moved by it and resolutely carried out his tactics. He must force the Li family to hand over Chen Danying, and then he had to find a way Give the emperor an explanation.
There is a mansion in the north city of Longxi City. Surrounding the mansion is a large-scale building complex, with workshops and various shops, covering an area of nearly a hundred acres. In the middle is the most magnificent three-story store On the top is a large plaque with four gold-painted characters of 'Li's Commercial Firm'. This is the head office of the commercial firm affiliated to the Li clan in Longxi. Some are similar, but they are different. From this, it can be seen that the Li family in Longxi is rich and powerful.
And this place was the first target of Wang Junlin's attack, and it was also another weight used to blackmail Li Shi.
At this time, three thousand soldiers had already taken control of various important parts of Longxi City, and the area of Li's Commercial House had been surrounded by two thousand Longxi County soldiers mobilized by Wang Junlin.
When Wang Junlin brought people here in person, all the stores and the head office of Li's Commercial Bank were closed, and the doors were closed.
"My lord, there is...no one in the firm."
"A thorough search!" Wang Junlin's face was a little ugly. He was already very fast, just to worry that someone in the army would tip off Mr. Li, but it still couldn't be avoided. Now it seems that Mr. Li's local influence is really complicated. The tree has big roots and deep roots! Even the army was not spared. Although he had a strong control over the army and even beheaded more than a dozen generals of the Li family in one go before, it is obvious that his control over this army is still very limited.
Wang Junlin gave an order, and hundreds of soldiers rushed into the business, shops, and the mansion behind, and began to search the world...
Wang Junlin walked to the gate with his hands behind his back, thinking that Li Shi might try to assassinate him again. After the assassin failed, then Li Zongxian would take the initiative to come to see him!
At this time, Shen Guang whispered: "Master Hou, the prefect Liu Fangyang is here!"
Wang Junlin turned his head and saw Liu Fangyang leading a group of officials walking quickly. Liu Fangyang casually cupped his hands and said with a gloomy face, "The imperial envoy forcibly controlled the army and harassed the people wantonly. What is his intention?"
Wang Junlin also returned the gift casually, and said indifferently: "Your Majesty, you really know what to do. This is Li's property, and what the imperial envoy is investigating is Li's suspected treason, why does your lord want to prevent this imperial envoy from investigating the case. "
At the end, Wang Junlin looked at Liu Fangyang with a smile that was not a smile. The latter felt cold and forced a smile: "The imperial envoy has misunderstood. How could this prefect prevent the imperial envoy from investigating the case? I just hope that the imperial envoy is not sure. In case of evidence, don't arrest people randomly and disturb the order in Longxi City."
At this time, Shen Guang hurriedly stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Master Hou, there is no one inside, these guys are not from the Li family."
Liu Fangyang hesitated to speak, his eyes were full of sarcasm, unexpectedly Wang Junlin smiled and said: "Confiscate all the books, records and property of these commercial firms. In addition, this imperial envoy lives here, waiting for those The people who were here are coming back."
Liu Fangyang's complexion changed, and he said: "Qin Anhou, you have investigated the case of treason, but there is no evidence, and now you are occupying the residence, it is wrong!"
Wang Junlin said coldly: "I, Wang Junlin, have always acted like this. If the prefect feels inappropriate, you can impeach me at the Holy Majesty. The impeachment memorial that Zhang Dehong was sent away by you before his death is probably coming to the capital soon! You can impeach me one by one."
After speaking, he ignored the change in Liu Fangyang's face, turned around and walked away.
At this time, a confidant of Liu Fangyang ran over and said in a low voice: "My lord, we are one step too late. Tang Sanbi and his family are missing. Please punish me."
Liu Fangyang's complexion changed, but his heart sank. He gritted his teeth and said, "Quickly, mobilize everyone to find this Tang Sanbi, and then kill him. Tell the people of the Li family in Longxi, and let them also help. Look for Tang Sanbi."
When Liu Fangyang said these words, he stared at Wang Junlin's back, feeling more and more uneasy for some reason.
…
According to the official system of the Great Sui Dynasty, one county magistrate is the prefect, who is in charge of the overall work. Below is one article and one military officer. He is actually the number two person in a county.
Longxi Commander's name is Zhou Wen, and he is also a close minister of the emperor. From the very beginning, the boundary with the Li family in Longxi is very clear. However, the methods of the Li family in Longxi are really unpredictable. The evidence and witnesses for the murder of the women were in the hands of the Longxi Li family. The latter seized his son's life and death, so although he hadn't joined forces with the Longxi Li family, he was forced to turn a blind eye.
The Zhou Mansion is located in the west of Longxi City. It is a mansion covering an area of seven acres, where Zhou Wen, his wife, concubine and children live. This house has been lived in since Zhou Wen came to Longxi City, but it is a pity that things have changed and people have changed. The upright and loyal Zhou Wen back then has disappeared.
At night, Zhou Wen returned to the mansion worriedly, locked himself in the study, and drank the wine silently without seeing anyone. Although he was not involved in the conspiracy plan of the Li family and Liu Fangyang in Longxi, he could still make a good guess. The strength and resoluteness Wang Junlin showed today shocked him a lot, and at the same time made him feel more and more guilty , although Wang Junlin searched for Li's property in Longxi City, it seemed that he was temporarily defended by Longxi Li and Liu Fangyang, but they lost their army. pale.
