A smile flashed across Zhao Shan's eyes.
Zhang Guangdao directly blew himself up. Is it such a big deal?
When it comes to dealing with the wealthy families in Yangzhou, Zhao Shan plans to let Yu Song take his time. He dismissed Zhang Guangdao from his official position only because Zhang Guangdao dared to instigate Zhang Yingxue to use him.
Unexpectedly, a series of things happened, and now, Zhang Guangdao has come to report and expose.
This was an unexpected surprise.
Zhao Shan took the letters and read a few of them, with murderous intent rising in his eyes, he said in a deep voice: "Zhang Guangdao, is the news true? If it is slander, you will not only be punished for slander, but also deceiving the emperor. It's not as simple as dismissal from office, it's his crime that deserves death."
Zhang Guangdao said: "Your Majesty, the news is true and there is absolutely no falsehood at all. Please tell me clearly."
Zhao Shan ordered: "If anyone comes, please inform Yu Song to come and discuss matters."
The soldier went to inform.
Zhang Guangdao knelt on the ground, suddenly thinking a lot in his mind. The emperor appointed Yu Song as the governor of Yangzhou because he wanted to use Yu Song to target the wealthy families in Yangzhou. It's just that he acted in a way that triggered the situation.
Could it be the emperor's plan?
Zhang Guangdao was even more in awe of Zhao Shan, and felt regretful in his heart.
Not long after, Yu Song entered the study.
He glanced at Zhang Guangdao who was kneeling on the ground, saluted Zhao Shan and said, "I, Yu Song, pay homage to your majesty."
Zhao Shan handed over Zhang Guangdao's letter and said, "Let's take a look."
Yu Song took it and looked through it. He saw the bad deeds of each family and the big cannibal families. His expression became more and more solemn and he said: "Your Majesty, the imperial court has given many benefits to the big families, but the big families don't." cherish."
"Looking through the history of each family, the word "cannibalism" is written on every page, and every page is stained with blood."
"All those who commit crimes should be killed. Not killing them will not make the people angry."
"The existence of these letters also proves that the strategy of governing Yangzhou is correct. The major problem in Yangzhou lies in the big families in Yangzhou. If the big families in Yangzhou are managed well, the development of Yangzhou will get twice the result with half the effort."
Yu Song said loudly: "If the big families in Yangzhou cannot be managed well, the development of Yangzhou will be half the result with half the effort. Please allow me to lead troops to capture people."
Zhang Guangdao felt a sudden change in his heart when he heard Yu Song's words.
So murderous!
But he didn't care anymore.
It should be killed!
He wants to make all the big families who abandoned him regret it and make all the big families pay the price.
Zhao Shan was satisfied when he heard what Yu Song said.
It's time for Yu Song's powerful divine sword to show its edge. Without further beating and weakening the Yangzhou clan, how can we bring order to the local level?
Zhao Shan suppressed the big families in Yangzhou and allowed the selection of scholars from the big families in Yangzhou. These were methods, but they could not cure the problems of the big families.
To cure it, further suppression is needed.
Yu Song is the candidate.
Zhao Shan has not unified the Daqian yet. Once he has truly unified the Daqian and has the power, he will be able to make institutional arrangements and completely control the local powerful families.
For example, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty built imperial mausoleums and moved powerful families from all over the world to guard the imperial mausoleums. On the surface, it is to give you the face of the rich family and give you the opportunity to guard the imperial mausoleum.
In fact, it uprooted the big families in the local area, so that the big families were controlled and the land annexation was not too serious.
This is the strategy for the future.
It's not possible at this stage.
The current means are limited, which is to continuously attack aristocratic families in the name of eradicating corruption.
Zhao Shan's eyes were cold and solemn, and he ordered: "Yu Song, I will hand over Zhang Guangdao to you and the evidence. You will mobilize some troops to assist. I don't care how the process is handled, I only care about the final result."
Yu chanted: "I accept your order!"
Immediately, Yu Song called for soldiers and escorted Zhang Guangdao to the office of the governor's office.
Because Yu Song had just taken office, there were still no officials in the office. At present, all personnel are transferred from the army to ensure that everything goes smoothly in the governor's office.
Yu Song took Zhang Guangdao back to the hall, looked at the embarrassed Zhang Guangdao, and said: "Mr. Zhang, I just arranged for you to do something not long ago. I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, you would be dismissed from your official position. It's sad that things are so different. ah."
Zhang Guangdao's cheeks twitched.
I regret so much.
He wanted to slap himself several times.
If he hadn't been meddling with Yu Song, and if he hadn't been fooled by lard, there wouldn't have been the result today, and the Zhang family wouldn't have been pushed down by everyone.
Zhang Guangdao calmed down and said, "Master Yu, if you want to ridicule me, you don't have to. I'm as embarrassed as a dog now, and the Zhang family is in a state of turmoil. What else is worth ridiculing?"
Yu Song shook his head and said: "No, I am not ridiculing you, I am just feeling emotional. You people from the big family are all self-righteous and have high ambitions but low abilities. I have said long ago that a big family cannot last long if they are rich and unkind, but you all listen to it. If you don’t go in, you will end up like this.”
Zhang Guangdao snorted but said nothing.
Yu Song is too simple, and his approach to things is too idealistic. In other words, Yu Song met the emperor. Without the emperor's support, Yu Song was nothing.
People like Yu Song can't get enough of it in the officialdom.
Yu Song looked coldly and continued: "I have read the situation in the letter. Is Mr. Zhang willing to identify it? Without your identification, it is not authoritative enough."
"I am willing!"
Zhang Guangdao answered without hesitation.
If each family wants to force him to death, then the fish will die and the net will be broken. He will send people from each family in, making each family suffer losses and making these people regret.
Yu Song took action immediately.
The first family he arrested was the Yu family, and no other families were involved.
When Yu Song came to Yu's house, Yu Yong came out to greet him personally. Just looking at the large formation that Yu Song brought with his people, Yu Yong asked: "Second brother, what are you doing?"
Yu Song said indifferently: "Master Yu, I brought people here today to capture Yu Kang and Yu Gu."
"Zhang Guangdao exposed the problems of your Yu family, saying that Yu Kang and Yu Gu once drove into each other on the street, killing one person and injuring six others. To this day, Yu Kang and Yu Gu are at large and have never been arrested."
"Please ask the head of the Yu family to hand over these two people, otherwise the Yu family will be sealed off."
Yu Song said in a deep voice: "Master Yu, please cooperate and don't make it difficult for me."
Yu Yong's mind was spinning.
He instantly thought of the conversation between Yu Song and Zhao Shan at the Murderous Dam, where they had talked about targeting the big family.
Apparently it started.
What Yu Yong thinks about is not whether the Yu family will be affected, let alone whether the Yangzhou family will be affected. What he was thinking was that once the commotion started, would Yu Song be able to escape?
Is there any danger?
Yu Yong's mind was racing and she said loudly: "Master Yu's new official has been taking office for three reasons. If he wants to arrest people and establish his authority, he should not attack our Yu family. The people of my Yu family have always abided by the law and there is nothing transgressing." .”
Yu Song said coldly: "If the head of the Yu family has any dissatisfaction or disagreement, when the government interrogates Yu Kang and Yu Gu, they will naturally defend themselves and appeal. If the two are not guilty, they will naturally be acquitted. Now, they must be Hand it over."
The confrontation between the two quickly caused many people to gather on the street outside Yu's house.
Many people watched the excitement.
When Yu Yong saw the people watching, he raised his voice and said: "Yu Song, you are pressing hard on the Yu family. You are really a good son of the Yu family and a good brother of my Yu Yong. Just don't repay the Yu family. He actually came to the Yu family to pick up someone."
Yu Song flicked his sleeves and said without giving in: "I have been expelled from the Yu family a long time ago. I dare not say that I am a member of the Yu family. I just want to ask, does the head of the Yu family make friends with others? If he does not make friends with others, I will Seal the Yu family and search for the culprit."
Yu Yong hesitated for a moment and then ordered: "Come here, hand over Yu Kang and Yu Gu."
The attendant went to fetch the person, and soon escorted Yu Kang and Yu Gu out. They were both young men in their twenties, and they acted arbitrarily and got into great trouble.
Yu Song asked someone to take Yu Kang and Yu Gu, and said in a deep voice: "Master Yu, please take care of yourself."
"let's go!"
Yu Song left with the people.
Yu Yong looked at Yu Song's leaving figure, with a hint of worry deep in his eyes.
What Yu Song did was completely aimed at a wealthy family and must be very dangerous. Once members of each family counterattack, they will plot against Yu Song secretly. Or maybe each family is desperate and wants to arrange for someone to assassinate Yu Song. How should we deal with it then?
Yu Yong had no way to help, so he could only stay at home.
Yu Song captured Yu Kang and Yu Gu, and led his soldiers to visit all the families such as the Bai family, the Zhou family, the Wu family, and the Xue family one by one, and arrested all the people involved in the case.
For a moment, all the wealthy people in Yangzhou were stunned.
Everyone was caught off guard.
Zhang Guangdao fell, and now no one is taking the lead, so all the families are panicking.
Because Yu Yong had been an official and Yu Qinghuan was Zhao Shan's concubine, Wu Junyan, Bai Wanli, Zhou Xin and others came to visit the Yu family one after another.
Bai Wanli was once a general. He gritted his teeth and said: "Master Yu, a total of twelve people in our Bai family were arrested, and it was all done by your good brother. You have to give us an explanation for this matter."
Wu Junyan couldn't help but rub his hands, and sighed: "My Wu family is not a big family, and five people have been arrested. This time, Yu Song's comer is not kind, and he will not stop until the blood is shed."
Zhou Xin said: "Six people from my Zhou family were arrested."
Xue Pan, the head of the Xue family, said: "Four members of my Xue family were also arrested. Yu Song is so stubborn. He is also a member of the Yu family, how could he do such a crazy thing?"
People from other families spoke one after another.
Everyone looked anxious.
Yu Yong looked helpless and explained: "Everyone, not only your people have been arrested, but also people from the Yu family. Yu Song has always been fatherless and has no family. He never cares about the life and death of the Yu family. My father is here. He has always been like this. Now that my father is gone, it is even more difficult to contain him. I am still anxious, what should the Yu family do?"
Everyone in the hall was frowning.
All of them looked like they were sighing.
Yu Yong changed the subject and said: "Speaking of which, this is all Zhang Guangdao's fault. If he hadn't reported it, how could we be targeted? Yu Song said it was Zhang Guangdao who reported it, so he went from house to house to arrest people."
Bai Wanli also heard what Yu Song said about this matter, clenched his fists and said angrily: "Zhang Guangdao, this old bastard, deserves to be killed."
Zhou Xin said dejectedly: "Zhang Guangdao, an old man, plotted against Yu Song for power. He angered the emperor and was dismissed from his official position, but he wants to drag us into trouble. This man is simply unreasonable."
Yu Yong nodded and said: "I am also irritated. It's not that I don't help, but that I am powerless. How can I help?"
"Forget it, I'll go back first."
Seeing that Yu Yong didn't come forward, Bai Wanli stood up and left first.
After Bai Wanli left, Wu Junyan, Zhou Xin, Xue Pan and others also said goodbye and left.
They walked out of Yu's house one by one, looking panicked.
Bai Wanli looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, Yu Yong is unwilling to take action, so we can only rely on ourselves. If we don't take action, all families will be affected, and none of them can afford the consequences."
"Of course, we don't dare to offend His Majesty, and we can't offend His Majesty."
"Generally speaking, we all support His Majesty."
"However, we can ask your Majesty to show mercy and show mercy."
A look of hope appeared in Bai Wanli's eyes, and he said, "Let's just complain, just talk about our difficulties, just say that we have helped His Majesty, please show your kindness."
Zhou Xin said: "You can try it."
Xue Pan scratched his head and said, "No matter how difficult it is, you have to give it a try."
Wu Junyan said: "In a word, we surrender to His Majesty, please don't kill them all."
Everyone said to me that the strategy of surrendering and begging for mercy was appropriate. Without further delay, one by one came to Prince Wu's Mansion to ask for an audience.
Zhao Shan did not refuse and met everyone in the hall. He knew the purpose of these people's coming, but he didn't show it at all. He asked with a smile: "You guys came to see me, what do you want?"
