Chapter 407: Nanhe Qingye, completed

"Are we saved?"

Seeing the team that came to convey the imperial edict standing in front of Zhao Zheng, all the Jin Yiwei beside him stopped moving.

Looking at the soldiers around them, they all put away their butcher knives.

The grain managers at the scene instantly became excited.

There are few things more exciting than escaping a certain death situation.

"Hahaha! Long live His Majesty! Long live His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Yes, without the support of people like them, how could this dynasty be stable? His Majesty the Emperor and His Highness the Prince both know the importance of this group of people, and they deserve to live. There is nothing Zhao Zheng can do to them!

They thought like this, but they did not realize that they were the most basic reason for shaking the stability of a dynasty.

The dynasty only needs one wealthy family, and that is the royal family.

Prince Zhu Biao's kindness to them was just because he was afraid that they would cause trouble, and because he was afraid that Zhao Zheng would use this to achieve some of his own ulterior purposes.

If you ask Prince Zhu Biao and Emperor Zhu Chongba, what would they do if they could do whatever they wanted to these wealthy gentry without any worries at all?

Their butcher's knife will fall faster than Zhao Zheng's.

"Master Zhao, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's decree has arrived, and your family master's letter has also arrived. How about we just persuade these people and let them go."

"Your plan is perfect, and the lessons you have given these people are also very profound. Come to think of it, they will not dare to make any more mistakes. They will work conscientiously for the imperial court in the future."

The Jinyi Guards saw Zhao Zheng turning over and over to check the two things but making no follow-up actions, thinking that he was unable to lose face.

Qianqian took the initiative to serve as Zhao Zheng's step.

face? Stairs?

Zhao Zheng naturally understood what the Jin Yiwei beside him meant.

Unfortunately, he doesn't need it.

"Ah!"

"Who said they should be released?"

"If they can survive, then those officials from the Ministry of Revenue who died just now also died unjustly?"

"If they can survive, then should the villagers who are worried these days suffer from this natural disaster?"

"If they can survive! Then all the officials and government officials in Nanhe, big and small, are busy during this period. Are they asking for trouble by trying to atone for their sins?!"

"You mean, the official horse that carries grain comes from the capital just to sharpen the horse's hooves?"

Zhao Zheng's body unconsciously surged with the murderous aura that had accumulated on his vests over the years, and he looked coldly at the guard in uniform who had been following him for a long time.

In fact, there was one sentence he didn't say.

That is to say, after these grain chiefs are returned to the past, they will work conscientiously? No, they will only cause more trouble.

This declaration of war was a declaration of war with the entire group of wealthy gentry, not to cause greater turmoil in the world.

It's enough to put a few big fish back.

The remaining ants will not be exterminated and will only bite the crops.

"I don't dare! It's just His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."

Why did he put such a big hat on his head all of a sudden?

Feeling the frightening coldness on Zhao Zheng's body, the Jinyi Guards quickly changed the subject.

Whatever you say is right, but the King's will cannot be violated, and we Jinyiwei only listen to the imperial edict, Mr. Zhao.

Your Majesty never said Zhao Zheng was so ruthless.

Don't you mean Wang Mang, who is frank and honest?

"Of course the imperial edict cannot be violated, and Zhao will only follow it."

When it comes to imperial edicts, Zhao Zheng, who abides by the law, will naturally not make such a mistake.

The tone is slightly softer.

The royal guards on the side heard this turn of events, and their faces immediately lit up with joy.

Great, Your Majesty has ordered that Master Zhao not be harmed, so there is no need to embarrass him now.

"Everyone obeys the order! Raise the sword!!!"

"???"

The Jinyi guards who lowered their heads thought that they had heard wrongly or that Zhao Zheng had said something wrong, so they quickly raised their heads to stop the movements of the soldiers on the scene.

"stop!"

"Master Zhao, think twice! Resistance is a capital crime! I will never let you do such a wrong thing, no matter what I say!"

The Jinyi Guards had to step forward even if they didn't want to offend Zhao Zheng.

The grain chiefs at the scene were also frightened by Zhao Zheng's actions and began to persuade him.

"Master Zhao! We know our mistake! It's not worth resisting for us!"

"Let us go. We will abide by the law when we go back, control the production of the villagers for the court, and ensure that we will not miss a single tax from the court!"

The imperial edict had arrived, but the grain chiefs at the scene really didn't expect that Zhao Zheng would dare to order the soldiers to take action.

These soldiers only recognized the Tiger Talisman and the King's Whip.

As long as Zhao Zheng dared to give orders, as long as Zhao Zheng's orders were not for them to attack the city and rebel, they would really dare to take action.

The previous arrogance, laughter, and happiness were all gone.

Now the expressions on the faces of these grain chiefs are only fear.

No one can be stupid and naysayers after seeing a chance of survival, especially people like them.

"Master Zhao, think twice!"

The Jin Yi Guardsmen were taking the rope from the men on the side, advising as they slowly approached.

"Why did Zhao think twice?"

"There is not a single word in His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's decree that orders Zhao to let these people live!"

"It is also His Royal Highness who wants these people to die!"

"I am a humble minister who only obeys your orders!"

Snapped!

Zhao Zheng turned around and looked at the royal guard. The holy oracle was hanging down and unfolded in his hand.

[Aiqing has traveled a long way to work, and the imperial court is aware that this frost disaster is urgent. People's livelihood is the first priority, so we need to act with caution. The head of Aiqing's family also sends a message to this palace, hoping that Aiqing will think twice before acting. I and your love The head of the Qing family is waiting for good news in the capital. 】

"I've thought twice about it and the criminals at the scene should be executed. What's the problem?"

"Huh?...This...this..."

The Jinyi Guard was reading the imperial edict. Looking at every word on it, he felt that although the meaning was that, it was definitely not what Zhao Zheng meant.

His Royal Highness clearly wants Zhao Zheng to stop. Isn't this very clear and can be understood?

But Your Highness, why don’t you just say it?

This team had no choice but to look at the team that had come to see him off, hoping to hear Prince Zhu Biao's original intention from their mouths.

"What does this general think our family is doing?"

"Our family is only responsible for conveying the decree, but we don't dare to overstep the bounds and speculate on the decree!"

The leading eunuch was stunned for a moment, then immediately turned around and prepared to lead the team back to Beijing.

"..."

The gentlemen of the Royal Guards looking for support were stunned.

"By the way, letters!"

"Master Zhao, didn't His Highness want you to check your family master's letter? It's above..."

Fortunately, with the reminder from the National Tax Guard on the side, he finally remembered another piece of evidence that came with the imperial edict.

After all, these grain chiefs made mistakes, so His Royal Highness could not directly express the intention to stop in the imperial edict.

Then the content of the letter, the letter from the head of the Zhao Zheng family, must be a message directly ordering Zhao Zheng not to mess around.

"That incompetent man?"

"He just relied on the blood relationship of the former head of the family to deceive His Majesty and His Highness with tears and take the position of the head of the family!"

"Our family motto in the Zhao family is to cultivate the world, but he is content in the Ministry of Works and only repairs wood and iron every day! He even dares to bark when he writes a letter. The bullshit prodigal son will not be able to exchange for gold when he returns. Don't trap the clan members in the whirlpool!"

"Fortunately, His Majesty is wise! His Majesty is wise! Only one sentence of the letter from that incompetent rat was passed through in the decree!"

"Otherwise, this incompetent person might have ruined a big thing!"

"If the lawless people in the world only besieged my Zhao Mansion, how could the Zhao Mansion be so honored!"

"No, when it comes to the matter now, Zhao will join this incompetent person!"

The more Zhao Zheng talked, the more excited he became, and the more serious he became.

The royal guard was so dumbfounded that he could only look to the side in disbelief at the national tax guard who had followed Zhao Zheng for a short period of time, hoping that he could give some advice.

"The current head of the Zhao family is really focused on the Ministry of Industry and has turned a deaf ear to what is going on outside the window. Everyone in the capital says that he is completely different from the previous family heads of the Zhao family..."

National tax guards were mobilized from the capital to various prefectures just to inspect taxes. In addition, Emperor Zhu Chongba was worried and wanted more of his own people to watch Zhao Zheng.

They really didn't know the things that Jin Yiwei knew.

Moreover, although they both belong to the former pro-military governor's office, they have been doing different things, and their leaders are completely different. They are not just a few commanders, but the state-run department and the clan government.

No participation, absolutely no participation.

What's more, the Zhao Zheng in front of him is more in line with the stereotype of the Zhao family.

This kind of person cannot be offended.

"Prepare!"

The Jinyi guards could only watch as Zhao Zheng raised his hand to signal, and then slowly put away his rope.

"cut!"

Then, he could only watch the butcher knife fall from the hands of the soldiers at the scene, and hear all kinds of last unpleasant curses in his ears.

boom!

The scene finally became completely quiet.

Similarly, there are the other seven disaster-stricken prefectures of Nanhe Chief Secretary.

The only thing the Jin Yiwei around Zhao Zheng could do was to hurry up and spread the news back to the capital.

The Chief Secretary of Nanhe basically only consists of the royal family, officials, and the common people.

Zhao Zheng's plan to clear the country was completed.
