Turbulent Times Chapter 1000: Zero Two

After the county magistrate and magistrate of Zhuo County left, Luo Shixin and Li Xuanba ran to Wang Junlin, clamoring to follow Shen Guoer to Lu's ancestral house, Wang Junlin told them to listen to Shen Guoer , and let them go with Shen Guoer.

Planned by Shen Guoer, with the cooperation of Yang Kongchan, and the help of dozens of masters led by Chong Yao, Chunqiu Nu, Luo Shixin and Li Xuanba, Lu's 'coup' went very smoothly. Hundreds of people from Lu Youwei were killed and thousands of people were implicated. The fourth Master Lu who usually behaved normally became a blockbuster and became the new Suzerain of the Lu family. Lu Youwei has since disappeared, but in fact it fell into the hands of Shen Guoer. hands.

This is the perfect end to Lu's affairs. Wang Junlin handed over the finishing work to Shen Guo'er, and he brought the others back to the county. Xue Li, the general of Fu Lang, has never made any mistakes.

On the surface, Wang Junlin only severely injured the Lu family and killed Lu Bian, the old patriarch of the Lu family, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that the "coup d'état" of Lu Lao Si inside the Lu family was mostly related to the prefect, so all The officials and nobles knew that the prefect might be going to attack them next, and all the officials and nobles began to feel uneasy.

Fanyang County was previously controlled by the Lu family. For example, the thirteen nobles in the three counties in the south resisted bravely. Many of them were purged and oppressed by the Lu family before. Now that the Lu family has fallen, some of them have followed the Lu family. The black ones, of course, could not escape the cleansing of the prefect. There are also some people, opportunists, who rely on Lu to obtain official positions, so they are naturally targeted for suppression.

But no matter what, the naval commanders Dou Shihai and Lu Bian died one after another. After Lu's obviously become the meat in the hands of the prefect, no one dared to resist the prefect.

Most people were afraid that Wang Junlin would implicate them and suppress them, and at the same time they wanted to find a family background.

People are in a panic, and they dare not gather to discuss matters. They are worried that the spies of the prefect will find out, which will arouse the suspicion of the prefect, so Fanyang County is in a state of panic during this period.

…

…

"Zhao Xianzi, what do you think the prefect will do next?" A nobleman clasped his fists and asked Zhao Zhanpeng, the head of the Zhao family, who sat by the window and looked out from time to time.

Zhao Zhanpeng is the core figure of the thirteen aristocratic alliances in the south. These years, the thirteen aristocrats have persisted under the aggressive situation of the Lu family, and Zhao Zhanpeng has contributed a lot.

At this moment, a servant came in and reported: "Master, there is a group of soldiers coming from outside the mountain gate, and they have sent a famous card to see the master!"

Zhao Zhanpeng's eyes flickered, thinking that he really came, he smiled slightly and said: "This prefect is definitely not a murderer who only knows how to kill, I think he has big plans."

"Zhao Xianzi, who is this here?" The nobleman looked curious.

"Hahaha... let's go, follow me to meet the prefect." Zhao Zhanpeng was still hesitating.

…

…

"I didn't know that your lord was coming, so I didn't go far to greet you, so please forgive me." After Zhao Zhanpeng welcomed Wang Junlin into the living room of the family mansion, he hurriedly pleaded guilty.

Wang Junlin looked at him and said with a smile: "Zhao Xianzi should know the purpose of my coming here today."

Zhao Zhanpeng looked panicked and said: "It's not because I rely on my status to push things back and forth. It's because I have scruples."

Speaking of this, Zhao Zhanpeng bowed suddenly and said: "My lord, Fanyang County is too far away from the center of the imperial court. As far as ordinary people are concerned, with the example of the Lu family, today they really don't know what will happen tomorrow, so they are anxious. It is normal to have the heart of sitting on the fence, may I ask if you have the ambition to be an official in Fanyang County?"

"You're a smart man. If I don't want to stay in Fanyang County Chief, the Lu family has already been exterminated. How can I raise a thief and respect myself." Goguryeo is difficult to be dissuaded by others, and Fanyang County and Goguryeo are across the sea, and I stayed in Fanyang County just to prepare for the conquest of Goguryeo.”

"If your Majesty makes the people of Fanyang county miserable in order to conquer Goguryeo, what will your lord do?" Zhao Zhanpeng asked again.

Wang Junlin was slightly taken aback, Zhao Zhanpeng's question was quite difficult to answer.

I asked Shen Guoer to investigate earlier. Zhao Zhanpeng and the thirteen nobles behind him have no connection with Yang Guang, let alone the emperor's people. They should test Wang Junlin for the emperor-but even so, Zhao Zhanpeng's This question is also difficult to answer.

"If someone else is the prefect of Fanyang County, when His Majesty leads the army to conquer Goguryeo, the people of Fanyang County will definitely suffer from it, and the rich and nobles will also suffer heavy losses." Wang Junlin said, "But I will take care of it Controlling Fanyang County, this kind of situation will never happen, and it is not convenient for me to explain the specific situation, but Zhao Xianzi might as well take it easy, and after a while, I will believe what I said today."

"My lord has this ambition, it is the blessing of hundreds of thousands of people in Fanyang County!" The country and the people are the most precious, and I dare not spare the crippled body, please do your meager strength for the adults!"

"Sir, please stand up, how can I dare to accept such a great gift from you?" Wang Junlin took a step forward and helped Zhao Zhanpeng from the ground.

After looking at the perfume that came with Wang Junlin, I couldn't help sighing in my heart: "Among the nobles in the world, few people care about the common people. Unexpectedly, this Mr. Zhao is the head of the Zhao family." Master, but it is an odd number, no wonder he dared to start as an enemy of Lu Shi, he must have seen through Lu Shi's hypocrisy long ago."

"During the period when the Lu family was in control of Fanyang County, many of the noble families in Fanyang County succumbed. It was really helpless. I hope that the adults can treat them differently." Those who have excessive contacts and do many evil things should be severely punished, otherwise it will not be considered a punishment. It is not that the officials of Fanyang County have no intention of pleading guilty. There are not many people who can be replaced by the adults, so it is better to replace them slowly."

"Zhanpeng has been busy fighting with the Lu family these years, so he doesn't have much thought about governance. Compared with the talent and learning of Du Changshi who is beside you, Zhanpeng has no good ideas on the strategy of governing the county, but please help me Knowing people and using them well, grasping the balance is good, and it is enough to stabilize the hearts of wealthy families and officials."

"Furthermore, the merger of the upper and lower lands in Fanyang County is still serious. There are hundreds of thousands of people in Fanyang County, seventy-eight out of ten are landless tenants. If you can distribute most of Lu's land to the people, you will be satisfied with the people. Why worry about Fanyang County? ?”

When Wang Junlin heard what Zhao Zhanpeng said, he immediately understood that this old guy had been waiting for him to come today so that he could tell him what he said. , especially being able to take into account the hearts of the people, which is really rare among the nobles in today's world.
