Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 283
What he said made Zhang Pu startled, even if he was a disciple of a saint, he couldn't help but want to swear, did you call this?
Fortunately, Zhang Pu is a person who does great things, he is decisive enough, and reacts quickly. When the two bearers heard the sound and looked over, he pushed Zhang Zonglie away with a palm, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Catch the assassin, catch this assassin! !"

It wasn't until this moment that Zhang Zonglie came to his senses, what happened just now?Did I say the wrong thing?

"Dog... the dog officer urges you to pay the owed taxes, go to hell!" Zhang Zonglie shouted, turned around and ran away, but when he looked up, he found a group of Dongchang Fan servants coming here at the end of the street.

This time, he was so frightened that he almost lost his soul. He turned around and wanted to run into the mansion.

However, Zhang Zonglie saw Zhang Pu's eyes that were about to breathe fire, and remembered that he came here pretending to be an assassin with his face covered.So, while the two bearers approached timidly, they hurriedly ran around the wall of the mansion gate.

Fortunately, Zhang Pu's house happened to be at the corner of the street, otherwise, there would be nowhere to run.

But even so, Zhang Pu saw the Dongchang fan servants who suddenly appeared, and three of them were riding horses. Obviously, they all discovered the situation here and rushed over.This time, in Zhang Pu's heart, it was a pain, how could he not die, the Dongchang fan just passed by, it was early in the morning, why did he get up so early?
There was severe pain in his leg, which caused Zhang Pu to fall to the ground. Two porters hurried up to help him. This was what he expected, and the two of them would definitely not chase the assassin.However, what he didn't expect was that the two riders on horseback had already galloped up and quickly chased after him.The other rider was the leader of the team, got off his horse in front of Zhang Pu, and hurriedly asked, "Master Zhang, what's the situation?"

While speaking, he saw the knife stuck in Zhang Pu's leg, and immediately ordered: "Don't move, I'll take care of it!"

After finishing speaking, he immediately squatted down, tore off Zhang Pu's official robe, revealing his white thighs, and wanted to treat his injuries.

Some of the fan servants who ran over immediately became vigilant, and some chased into the alley, and they all dealt with it in an orderly manner.

And Zhang's house also heard the movement, and many people rushed out, but seeing that the Dongchang fanmen appeared earlier than them, for a while, they were afraid of Dongchang's prestige, and they didn't dare to come forward.

You know, during the period at the beginning of the year, Dongchang and Jinyiwei did not know how many people were arrested and how many houses were confiscated in the capital, but they remembered it very clearly.

This waiter seems to be very skilled in dealing with this kind of knife wound. After just a few strokes, he pulled out the dagger, applied the wound medicine he carried with him, and bandaged it up. At the same time, he said to Zhang Pu: "Master Zhang, this wound The medicine was handed down from my family when we were walking darts, and the effect is very good. Moreover, your incision is not deep, and you have not hurt your muscles or bones, so you can recover after a few days of recuperation."

This used to be the head of the darts, and it was Jiang Dong.

Hearing his words, Zhang Pu felt regretful in his heart. If he had known this earlier, he should have gotten deeper.

At the same time, he was also very depressed, but he couldn't show it. Instead, he showed gratitude and asked, "This officer is really lucky. Thanks to Jiang Baotou, who happened to pass by and saved my life!"

Unexpectedly, after Jiang Dong heard his words, he said with admiration: "I brought people here to protect you by order. The emperor said that your errand would offend many people. As for some gossip in the capital yesterday, the emperor said I already know, so let my team of guards protect you and follow you to the south of the Yangtze River!"

"..." Zhang Pu was very surprised when he heard that, the emperor is so powerful, can you guess this?

Of course he didn't know that Emperor Chongzhen had sent Jiang Dong and the others to protect him. In fact, they were also monitoring him to prevent him from obeying and violating after receiving the order.Of course, the original intention of protection is also there.

Zhang Pu forgot the pain for a while, and was very worried that the emperor might not have guessed that he didn't want to go to work.Oh, no, Zhang Zonglie, a fool, don't get caught by the East Factory.If this is the case, the emperor's conjecture will be confirmed, and the emperor will be furious, and all the scheming will be in vain!
Thinking of this, he felt a little restless.He couldn't imagine what would happen if Zhang Zonglie was caught and confessed.
In fact, Jiang Dong already felt abnormal.

Because he was from an escort agency, he knew a lot about wounds, so when he treated Zhang Pu's wounds, he discovered that the knife wound seemed to be stabbed by Zhang Pu himself.If someone else stabbed it, the wound would not be like this.

But it's not about this matter at this time, Jiang Dong just kept this matter in his heart, and ordered the people in the Zhang residence to carry Zhang Pu back to the residence.Then, he personally went to inquire about the capture of the assassin.

Zhang Pu didn't know how tormented he was. He was afraid that Zhang Zonglie would be caught. After entering the mansion, he quickly asked, "Where is Zhang Zonglie? Where is it?"

If Zhang Zonglie came back through the back door as planned, then this matter would be seamless, thank God.

However, no one said they saw Guanshi Zhang, and Zhang Zonglie did not show up by himself, which made Zhang Pu very worried.

When he knew that the leader Jiang was questioning the bearer and the others to investigate the assassination, he worried that Jiang Dong would find some clues.At this time, he suddenly regretted it like when he was facing the emperor before. If he had known this earlier, he would have prepared better and was not in a hurry to do this.

Needless to say, after Jiang Dong investigated the scene, he found more suspicious points, especially the assassin who seemed to yell such strange words as "catch the assassin".Faintly, he had a guess in his heart, but he didn't show it.He just asked two of his men to guard Zhang's mansion, and then he personally led the others to chase the assassin.

Zhang Pu's assassination was a big news in the capital, especially in connection with what he was going to do before.Therefore, the spread is extremely fast.

Some people were shocked, thinking that some unscrupulous people were too arrogant to dare to assassinate in the capital.And some people gloat over others' misfortune. See, this is what happens when you offend someone!
After hearing the news, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help applauding loudly in his heart!
He knew that no matter whether it was checking the quota for preferential exemptions for officials and gentry, or collecting owed taxes, there would definitely be great resistance.If you want to touch their cakes, or let them spit out the benefits they have eaten, you will definitely encounter resistance, or even worse, you don't know what will happen.

But luckily now, this man was assassinated before he even left the capital, and the assassin shouted "The dog officer urges to pay the owed taxes", which was obviously related to these two things.If the emperor's feet are so arrogant, the emperor must be furious, which is a matter of course!
Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen, as everyone thought, immediately showed a gesture of fury, and issued a strict decree to the world. Officials and gentry, all consciously report to the court and pay taxes and service.Otherwise, once it is seized by the imperial envoy, the imperial court is short of money and food, and the people affected by the disaster are waiting to be fed.

Debts and repayments are a matter of course. I owe taxes to the court, but I have not paid them for a long time. Those who have more than [-] acres of grain fields will steal their homes and pay low taxes. No tolerance will be given!
At the same time, this decree was announced to the whole country, and those people who paid taxes on time and had a good record of paying taxes were given different rewards.

For example, those who have paid taxes on time for more than two years can refund [-]% of the taxes; those who have paid taxes on time for more than three years will be given a plaque by the local government and hung in front of the door, and matters related to the government can be dealt with first.Those who have paid taxes on time for more than five years will not worship officials and go to court, unless the local capital procuratorate approves, otherwise they will not be punished.

Moreover, the rewards and punishments related to these two things must be included in the evaluation of local officials.For example, whether a local official pays more taxes or owes more taxes is an indicator to measure the ability of a local official.

As soon as this decree came out, the world was shocked again.

Some people think that the emperor seems to be too strict. Although there is no problem in legal principles, there is nothing more than human feelings outside the legal principles.Isn't it too ruthless for the emperor to ransack the house at every turn?
However, some people think that if this purpose is good, they should raid their homes!The money obtained from the house raids was used for disaster relief, and it was not taken by the emperor for personal enjoyment!This is for the public!

As for which people think it is good and which people think it is not good, it depends on where their buttocks are sitting.In terms of the number of people, there are definitely a lot of people who support this will.Even among some scholars, some people of insight think it is good, and feel that the emperor's decree is a powerful response to the current disaster in Daminguo.

But after all, some people are still unconvinced and don't want to pay the money.However, the emperor is heaven, they have no way to object directly, so they can only pour their grievances on that assassin.If it wasn't for the assassin's sudden attack, he wouldn't have angered the emperor with such a strict order!
"I don't know which pig's head it is, but dared to assassinate the imperial court official at the feet of the emperor, are you crazy?"

"Assassination is fine if you say it is an assassination. If you insist on shouting something, isn't that self-inflicted?"

"..."

When they were complaining, some people, those who like conspiracy theories, couldn't figure out which one was so stupid. When they did such a stupid thing, they secretly guessed whether the emperor sent someone to do it ?Otherwise, why did the Fan service just pass by?

No matter what they did, they never thought that this matter would be written and directed by Zhang Pu himself.Otherwise, they had all their hearts after eating Zhang Pu, and they had made such a moth before they even left Beijing!

As for Emperor Chongzhen, he actually knew the truth of the matter that afternoon, because Jiang Dong finally caught Zhang Zonglie.

At that time, the Dongchang soldiers were in a hurry to chase him, and Zhang Zonglie was in a hurry. He didn't dare to run back to Zhang's mansion, so he kept hiding.In the end, he was led by Jiang Dong and was arrested.

However, Jiang Dong had already deduced that something was fishy, ​​so he took Zhang Zonglie directly back to Dongchang without announcing the situation.

At the beginning, Zhang Zonglie gritted his teeth, didn't ask anything, and didn't answer any questions.

But Jiang Dong had already obtained a lot of evidence, and probably guessed the truth of the matter.Under the torture and psychological offensive, in the end Zhang Zonglie knew that he couldn't hide it, so he did all the tricks, including at the end, Zhang Zonglie couldn't do anything to his master, and it was his master who grabbed the knife and did it to him. All recruited.

After hearing Jiang Dong's report, Emperor Chongzhen contacted Zhang Pu's actual attitude, and immediately deduced that the reason why he did this was that he still didn't want to go to Jiangnan.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen sneered and said, "The more he doesn't want to go, the more he must go!"

Speaking of this, he told Jiang Dong: "Escort him to the south immediately. With that little injury, he will definitely be healed when he arrives in the south of the Yangtze River. Keep a close watch on him and don't let him make any mistakes. As for this matter, we will leave it for the time being." Don’t let others know, just pretend you haven’t caught the assassin yet.”

Seeing the true face of Zhang Pu, a hypocrite, Jiang Dong felt extremely disgusted with him.While responding to Emperor Chongzhen, he made up his mind that even if Zhang Pu went to the toilet, he would send someone to watch him, and see what he should do?
On the other side, at Wu Changshi's place, of course he was reluctant, but before anything happened, something happened on Zhang Pu's side first.Therefore, he did not do anything extra.However, he has a team of Jinyi guards for personal protection, just like Zhang Pu, he left the capital and went south with a bitter heart.

After dealing with this matter, Emperor Chongzhen returned to the harem to meet Queen Zhou.After dismissing everyone, he showed her the information about the background of Zhang Pu and Wu Changshi, including the fact that they controlled the imperial examinations and were known as "folk emperors".

Empress Zhou was taken aback when she saw it, or she turned pale with fright.She often did not expect that two people with such a good reputation would be such people. They wanted to shake her husband and her son's country, which is not bad!

Emperor Chongzhen naturally expected her anger after feeling cheated, and said to Queen Zhou: "Although you are the prince's mother, it is for his own good, but the prince is the prince of the country, and you must be cautious about his affairs." That. Don’t interfere with anything related to the foreign court, so as not to be fooled by the foreign ministers again, understand?”

At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there was a rule that the harem and eunuchs were not allowed to interfere in politics.But rules are meant to be broken after all, although there are few, there have always been Daming's harem and eunuchs intervening in politics.

As for Empress Zhou, she is basically very disciplined.However, Emperor Chongzhen did not abide by the rules, and it is estimated that he will leave the capital many times. Therefore, he let Queen Zhou know through this matter that even if he is not in the capital, he still wants the emperor to call the shots.

In addition, Emperor Chongzhen had already thought about the education of the prince and other princes.However, if it was proposed before, the queen may object.But when I bring it up again at this time, I believe the queen dare not say anything more.

Therefore, taking advantage of this opportunity, he decided to tell Queen Zhou.

　It's been a rough week, but it's coming through, and it's the weekend.
