MTL - Our Mommy is the Best Investigator!-Chapter 855 The much-desired concubine
Chapter 855 The highly anticipated concubine's room
"Repay the crime? General Rong Heng shouldered the emperor's order to kill the traitors for the court. What is the crime?"
Chu Nanzhi was angry and distressed at this upright Ji Rongheng.
That Mu Liulang's crime was not to mention him, even I wished to get rid of him quickly, but the emperor didn't order it, he committed suicide without authorization to the honored family who was bestowed with the iron certificate of the alchemy by the great ancestor, this is indeed true Made it worse.
It's just that no matter how outstanding the Mu family's meritorious service is, she is not willing to pay for the crime of killing Ji Rongheng for these unworthy descendants of the Mu family.
After thinking about it, she had no choice but to look at the private army of the Mu family who was surrounded tightly, and said righteously: "The new policy of the imperial court stipulates that no private army can be kept in the government office, but the Mu family violated the government order. Shouldn't they be punished?"
"They are all tenant farmers in the mansion, how did they become private soldiers?"
Dugu argued bitterly without giving up.
"Shakers?"
Chu Nanzhi said with a cold smile: "When they hold weapons in their hands, can they still be compared with ordinary farmers? I can see what your Madam Dugu has done today. The majestic governor of a state is actually at your mercy. It's not that this palace is on guard, I'm afraid that at this time, I have already become one of the countless souls punished by your Mu family."
After saying that, he looked at the private army of the Mu family with deep eyes, and persuaded with earnestness: "I know that you are all under the control of the Mu family, but this time I am waiting for your majesty to go west to help you get rid of the sea of suffering and return to your own fields. , If there is any obsessive and unrepentant person who works for the Mu family, he will be guilty of the same crime as the Mu family."
As soon as this remark was made, there was a sharp bang sound.
The private soldiers of the Mu family who held weapons put down their sabers and spears one after another.
Chu Nanzhi then turned to Ji Rongheng with a sigh of relief, helped him up personally, and said: "Although the injustice of the court envoys has been investigated, the situation in Tanzhou City still depends on General Rongheng."
As he said that, he looked at the Sun family father and son with sharp eyes: "Arrest Sun You and Sun Li father and son immediately and question the crimes, strictly investigate the Mu family, find out all the hidden fields and noble families connected with them, and seize the good land that was occupied. Return it to the hands of the people."
As soon as this remark came out, several families were happy and others were sad.
Some people clapped their hands and applauded, but those nobles who came to hide in the crowd after hearing the news became frowning.
Looking at the smiling crowd, Chu Nanzhi was relieved, but began to worry about the rest of Danzhou counties.
I don’t know how many other families, like the Mu family, have to find out all the portals of the hidden trilogy as soon as possible.
Going back to Rongsheng Inn overnight, thinking of Ji Rongheng's purpose in Zhoukang County, she didn't care about resting, so she left Ji Rongheng in the inner hall of the elegant room, and had refreshments prepared.
Seeing that Sang Qi, Ma Laifu and the others were drinking tea comfortably, and had already recovered from their fear, Chu Nanzhi asked hesitantly: "Rong Heng, I remember you said today that someone sent a letter , you rushed to Zhoukang County in a hurry, where is the messenger?"
Ji Rongheng handed the letter and Mu Liulang's criminal evidence to Chu Nanzhi, and he was also confused: "The person who sent the letter didn't show up, and I will send someone to chase after him. I didn't find any whereabouts, and I'm afraid that the investigation will be delayed, so I hurried to Zhoukang County."
"It seems that your uncle and the Sun family father and son don't know who sent the letter."
Chu Nanzhi was not in a hurry, anyway, it was at this juncture, and it was time for the people behind the scenes to show up.
"Uncle knows the law and violated the law, and has hidden the army to cultivate fields these years, how should we deal with it?"
Ji Rongheng asked.
"Now is not the time to question the assassin."
Chu Nanzhi sighed softly and frowned: "I look at him as if he doesn't know what happened in Tanzhou City, who is manipulating these noble families behind the scenes, we have to find out first, last night in Zhoukang County Sun You said that the money from selling the land was sent to the state capital, but your uncle didn't know about it, it's interesting."
"Uncle's family affairs will eventually be known."
Ji Rongheng replied truthfully: "Aunt Yin has been ill for many years. Uncle is not afraid of the queen's jokes if he tells it. He only likes to play with flowers and plants, birds, animals, insects and fish all day long. He will go back to the old house at the end of the last few days. I heard that all affairs in the house are presided over by his spoiled Sun Xiaoniang."
Paused, his face was full of bitterness, and he couldn't speak: "Even being able to talk about many government affairs, it has won the praise of the public, and it is indeed outstanding ability, I am afraid it is no less than the Queen Mother Tian back then."
"No wonder."
Chu Nanzhi suddenly realized.
If the mistress of the house is capable, no matter how favored a concubine is, she should not make such a big claim, and dare to sell her own land.
Thinking of the late Empress Dowager Tian Yuchan, Chu Nanzhi became interested in this Sun family.
After all, the land of Qinghe is the birthplace of concubines, so it is not surprising that some people want to emulate Tian Yuchan's ambition.
Eat a few pieces of snacks leisurely, thinking of Ji Wanying who was very peaceful these days, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help asking: "How is the little Princess, but it's been a while since I saw her?"
Ji Rongheng hesitated for a moment: "Since she came to Dangyang City, she has been seeing her head and tail all day long, and she is very busy meeting old friends everywhere, and I only met her a few times in the old house in Tanzhou a few days ago. "
"Meet an old friend?"
Chu Nanzhi's heart trembled: "The little princess has been in the capital all year round, and she is withdrawn by nature, and rarely returns to the land of green grass. Didn't expect it to be full of green grass?"
"Queen, don't underestimate her."
Ji Rongheng didn't know that the empress would ask about this matter, so he had to reply truthfully: "After all, she is the flesh and blood of my uncle and the eldest princess. Who in the land of Qinghe will not give her some face, and all the nobles are supporting her. In the past Every year when Xungui comes to Beijing, he has to meet her, to curry favor with her, and to have deep feelings for her."
"I see."
Chu Nanzhi pretended to be calm and smiled: "Let her go, as long as she doesn't make any trouble."
Then he began to explain carefully: "Now Li Sanmu's Xiaoqi Battalion is stationed in Dangyang City, you have to take over the garrison in the city. I will let Sanlang come from Mengzhou in a few days and let them help you to appease the people in the city. If the news spreads to various counties, it will definitely cause commotion in the honorable family, we must take precautions."
Li Sanmu had already learned that His Majesty asked the general to secretly mobilize troops from nearby counties and counties, so he quickly asked, "Can you tell Your Majesty that the troops from several nearby states should be assembled on standby?"
"No."
Chu Nanzhi quickly waved his hand: "I don't think my uncle has any wrongdoing, but someone is fueling the flames. If he hears some rumors, it will only make him fall to the noble families. Right now, General Rong Heng must Go to the state capital and find out the roster in front of Princess Yanjun as soon as possible."
Thinking about the matter of the Mu family, Chu Nanzhi patiently told her again: "I think the conditions of the trilogy supported by each government should be similar to that of the Mu family. I am afraid that few are really attached to them, but they are forced to make a living in desperation. The matter of confiscating the property of the Mu Mansion and returning it to the people must be done beautifully, so that the people in other counties and counties can see the determination of the imperial court to plead for the people. Happy birthday to many people."
"The queen's move is safe, but it can only find out the hidden fields in various places."
Ji Rongheng was deeply anxious and said: "But apart from the tenants who have signed agreements with the nobles, there are also some who have been reduced to refugees and homeless outsiders. You guys are in a hurry to use these people to usurp things."
"It costs money to raise a private army. Without this huge hidden benefit, where do they get the money to hoard money and food."
Chu Nanzhi let out a breath of relief.
But thinking of the arrogance of Dugu's mother and son, he added cautiously: "If nobles want to rebel, they must have a backbone. Even though your uncle has no intention of political affairs these years, he is the governor of Tanzhou, and the Ji family is in Tanzhou. The person in charge of the state, Rong Heng, you have to go to the state capital to find out what he has to say, and try to stabilize him."
"yes."
Ji Rongheng gradually had an idea when he thought of the entrustment of his grandfather and grandmother and the two white silks before he left.
