In Lanyang County, with the arrival of Zhu Gaochi, the Crown Prince of Yan and the Chief of the Taxation Department, most of the government affairs were handed over to him by Zhu Yunxi as usual.
The reasons given will always remain unchanged for thousands of years.
The heavier the burden, the thinner the little fat.
This is for his own good.
In this regard, Zhu Gaochi was still the same and could not refute. The fact was that he could no longer breathe or make a sound when he moved.
Zhu Gaochi, who had no reason to refuse, immediately improved the entire administrative efficiency by an order of magnitude after arriving in Lanyang County to figure out all the current situation. As quickly as possible, he finished sorting out the affairs of the Western Patrol and Relief Team in Lanyang County, and pulled the entire Western Patrol Team along the official road to Kaifeng Fucheng during the day of the next day.
It is expected to arrive in Kaifeng Fucheng in the evening.
Even at the end of the Youshi period, not many people came in or out of Kaifeng City.
Because the world has been at peace these past few years, the local security has been passable. Except for the fact that Yingtian City needs to consider the safety of the imperial court and the Tian family, and the city gates will be closed when it gets dark, the local cities have delayed this time a lot. The city gates were even left open day and night.
Kaifeng Mansion is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains. Due to the disasters all over the place, people are working in various places outside the city to provide relief, but there has been no civil unrest. It is precisely because of this that during this season, Kaifeng City just moved the city gates that were open day and night to the end of Xu time and closed them.
In addition, after noon today, Jin Yiwei from Lanyang County came to Kaifeng City on horseback and informed Kaifeng City that today the emperor's grandson and his party will officially arrive in Kaifeng, and there will be fewer people inside and outside the city.
On the city wall, there are many more black shadows standing silently, which are faintly blurred under the weak lights in the city.
From the city gate to the prefect's Yamen and the Song Palace and the Zhou Palace, you can often see the Chief Envoy Si Yamen, the Inspection Envoy Si Yamen, the Dusi Yamen, the Tixue Official Yamen, the Magistrate's Yamen, the Magistrate's Yamen, and the Zhou Prince's Palace from time to time. Three guards and countless people shuttled through the dark night.
Darkness is a good thing. It smoothes people's hard work during the day and gives careerists the safest environment.
In the northeast corner of Kaifeng Fucheng, there is the old Song Palace with few lights in response to the thrifty style of the Tianhuang Palace. Today it is the Zhou Palace.
The location in the city is where government offices at all levels are concentrated.
In a place where water, land, water, ditches and ditches meet, it seems to have the lingering charm of Bianliang, Tokyo in the past.
Rowing boats on the river, actors climbing high buildings.
A small boat is leaning against the shore, and the ripples on the bottom of the boat let people know the trajectory of the people in the boat.
"Thank you for your experience. Have the adults from the two Yamen come back?"
The lights in the cabin illuminated a figure. Looking through the porthole, he saw Kaifeng Mansion Tongxuan Fang Fixed Salary, asking in a low voice to another man in front of him.
Neither of them were wearing official uniforms at this time, and they looked like ordinary people going out for a night out drinking.
Xie Mengwei, who was appointed as the Chief Envoy of Henan Province and the Secretary of the Yamen Experience Department, shook his head, and nodded again under Fang Guxin's anxious eyes.
Fang Guxin was so anxious that he couldn't hold it any longer, so he couldn't help but said urgently: "Thank you for your experience, tonight the emperor's grandson will bring people and those ruthless gang of Jin Yiwei into the city. What are the two yamen now?" Please tell me your experience quickly."

The two Si Yamen are the foundation of the entire Henan Province. The Chief Envoy Si Yamen and the Punishment and Inspector Si Yamen are in charge of the power of the officials and people of the entire Henan Province.
As for the Henan Daodu Commandery Department, it is under the jurisdiction of the Fifth Army Governor's Office in Yingtian City. This year, because of the transfer of Yu Ma from the commander of the military guards of Shangzhi, something happened in the middle. Fang Guxin and others couldn't help themselves at the moment. will be mentioned.
Xie Mengwei drank a glass of wine, lowered his head and lifted the woman out from under the table: "If you have no use for it, leave it behind."
The woman was already disheveled, her hair was messy, her face was red, and she was breathing heavily. After hearing what the official said, he wrapped his arms in front of his chest, lowered his head and quickly walked out of the cabin.
Fang Guxin could only endure it.
Although Xie Mengwei's experience is only from the sixth rank, which is half a point lower than his sixth-rank Kaifeng Prefecture general judge, but he is working in the Chief Envoy's Department, just like a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister.
When they waited outside the cabin, there was no movement.
Fang Guxin showed a smile on his face, stood up holding the wine bottle, and bent down to add wine to Xie Mengwei.
"Thank you for your experience. These days, Gao Guang, the official accompanying the emperor's grandson, has been kept in the government office by us. There has not been much movement. Things outside the city have also been arranged properly, and the royal guards have not noticed.
The adults in the two departments trust us, and we have always done our best in everything we do. If it weren't for the fact that the emperor's grandson suddenly wanted to enter the city today, and the things Cao Zhisheng left behind, they would still be missing.
Shangguan Fuzun would not ask me to come here to find out Xie's experience and ask the adults of the two yamen offices what arrangements they had for this matter. "
Xie Mengwei drank a full glass of wine again, holding the wine glass in his hand, looking out the window with a wine-red face. There are only sailboats on the water, with bright lights and singing and dancing. Under the candlelight, colorful lights floated on the water, just like a dream back to Bianliang, just like in a dream.
"Fang Tongpan, are you afraid?"
Fang Guxin was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.
Xie Mengwei snorted lightly and asked again: "Is that because Shangguanfu is afraid?"
Fang Guxin spoke: "The governors are all led by the two yamen, so they have no fear."
Peng!
The white porcelain wine glass in Xie Mengwei's hand was hit hard against the wall and shattered to pieces in an instant.
Fang Guxin was slightly angry in his heart, but with respect and panic on his face. He stood up with his hands solemnly and looked at Xie Mengwei who had already stood up angrily and glared at him.
"Since you are not afraid, the Emperor's grandson will enter the city tonight, why are you so nervous?"
"Now that things are coming to an end, you are beginning to look forward and backward. If you had known now, you would not have been so greedy in the first place!"
Xie Mengwei scolded him angrily, slapped his gum and sat down angrily, and glanced at Fang Guxin indifferently.
Fang Guxin immediately bowed and carefully took out a new wine glass for him and filled it with wine again.
"I would like to thank you for your experience and release me from Kaifeng Mansion."
Xie Mengwei snorted coldly: "Don't worry about the emperor's grandson entering the city. Can he clear the city of Kaifeng? Clear the entire Henan Road in the Central Plains?"
Fang Guxin smiled apologetically: "Of course that's impossible."
"Since you know it can't be done, don't worry so much. Why did the emperor's grandson come to Kaifeng Mansion?"
Fang Guxin showed his confusion: "Thank you for your experience."

【The direct son of the Ming Dynasty】【】
Xie Mengwei shook his head: "Of course he wants an explanation! What explanation, the disaster in Liufu? No. He just wants a few corrupt officials and an answer sheet that satisfies His Majesty to respond to Tiancheng. In this case, we will give it to him A satisfactory answer.”
Fang Guxin's eyes narrowed, and after hesitating for a moment, he whispered: "Two divisions... are you ready, adults?"
Xie Mengwei snorted coldly: "Aren't you worried about what that idiot Cao Zhisheng left behind?"
Fang Guxin nodded.
Regarding Cao Zhisheng, who had been beheaded by the emperor's grandson, the Kaifeng Mansion only found out in the past few days that this idiot had left behind a lot of things, which could involve the wealth and lives of countless people in the entire Kaifeng Mansion.
No one knows how many things Cao Zhisheng left behind and what was recorded in them.
No one in the entire Kaifeng Mansion can guarantee that their name and the things they have done will not appear on the things left by Cao Zhisheng.
A trace of contempt flashed across Xie Mengwei's face: "He, Cao Zhisheng, is extremely stupid, but he left evidence that no one thought about. But so what, he thought that by hiding it behind the Kaifeng government office, no one would know? "
"Behind the government office?"
When Fang Guxin heard this, he immediately opened his mouth.
He really didn't expect that Cao Zhisheng would be so bold as to not only leave everyone's evidence behind, but also hide it in plain sight behind the Kaifeng government office.
Xie Mengwei had a gloomy look on his face: "He was clever but was fooled by his cleverness. He thought he would not be discovered by hiding behind the Kaifeng government office."
Fang Guxin had already stood up, his face full of anxiety: "Thank you for your forgiveness."
As he spoke, Fang Guxin cupped his hands towards Xie Mengwei, his face extremely anxious, as if he wished he could put on his wings and leave here.
Xie Mengwei stretched out his hand to grab Fang Guxin and pulled him back to his seat, looking like he hated iron for not being able to become steel.
At this time, because of the anxiety and uneasiness in his heart, Fang Guxin rolled his sleeves inadvertently: "Xie Experience, the emperor's grandson is coming to the city soon. Xie Experience now knows where to hide the things left by Cao Zhisheng. The emperor's grandson probably already knows, otherwise he would never come to Kaifeng at this time!"
Compared to Fang Guxin's face, which was full of panic.
Xie Mengwei seemed very calm. He said calmly: "Is Fang Tongpan going back to the government office to destroy the things left by Cao Zhisheng?"
"Otherwise? Does Mr. Xie still want to keep those things so that the emperor's grandson can get them?"
Xie Mengwei chuckled, and once again firmly pressed Fang Guxin into his seat, while he walked behind the window on the side of the cabin facing the Kaifeng government office, and opened the gauze curtain.
Fang Guxin was restless at this time, thinking all about the things that idiot Cao Zhisheng had hidden behind the government office. He frowned and stared at Xie Mengwei, looking through the window and looking in the direction of the government office worriedly.
Xie Mengwei became more and more excited, and even turned around to pour a glass of wine for Fang Guxin, and then took a sip: "Fang Tongpan, just sit here and wait for a good show. "

【The direct son of the Ming Dynasty】【】
Seeing Xie Mengwei acting weird, Fang Guxin became more and more anxious, and his eyes almost burst into flames.
"Thank you for my great experience. What are you trying to sell? This is a matter that involves countless people's heads. Just tell me what will happen."
Xie Mengwei held the wine glass, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp. He slapped his hand on the table with a murderous look in his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Since the emperor's grandson is serious, let's give him a big gift!"
Fang Guxin was holding the wine glass in his hand. When he heard the word "gift", his hands shook involuntarily, and then he hurriedly held the wine glass with both hands and drank the wine in the glass.
Xie Mengwei said coldly: "Kaifeng Prefecture recommends officials, experience, governor, Zhaomo, Xiangfu County Magistrate, County Cheng, chief registrar, and official, Kaifeng Zhuwei thirteen thousand households, one hundred households, general banner, a total of two Eleven people are all in the Kaifeng government office at the moment."
Familiar people passed by Fang Guxin's eyes one after another. His hands began to tremble constantly, and he swallowed hard. He took the wine bottle in front of him and tried to pour wine into the glass several times but failed. success.
Finally, Fang Guxin gave a loud snort, took off the stopper and threw it away. Holding the wine bottle tightly with both hands, he raised his head and poured it into his mouth.
He could already guess what was about to happen.
When the emperor's grandson walked into Kaifeng City, what kind of gift would he get?
Xie Mengwei glanced at Fang Guxin who finally reacted, and with a smile on his face, he turned to look at the Kaifeng government office in the distance outside the window.
"The Kaifeng Mansion tonight is dull and lackluster. Why should we respectfully welcome the grandson of the emperor who oversees the country?"
…
Kaifeng government office.
It was so quiet tonight that people thought this place had been abandoned for many years.
From the entrance of the government office to the houses in the back office, a few lamps are sparsely lit, not very bright, they can only guide people around the corners of the road and distinguish the direction.
I don't know when it started, outside the Kaifeng government office in the dark night, black shadows began to walk heavily into the government office. Then, following the weak candlelight, they walked into the high-rise courtyard behind the government office without looking back. .
one person.
Two people.
…
Twenty-one people.
In the darkness, these twenty-one people had long been familiar with each other. As each one arrived, they all nodded silently to each other.
Wait until the last person arrives.
The official of Kaifeng Mansion who arrived earlier raised his head with a calm expression and looked towards the tall building behind him.
The construction of this tall building began after Master Fu Zun learned about Kaifeng Mansion.
It took three years to repair it.
Since its construction, only those who have climbed up the tall buildings can truly be regarded as members of Kaifeng Mansion.
Tonight, the master of the palace, Shangguan Wenhu, did not appear here.
However, everyone knew that Shangguan Wenhu was watching here from somewhere.
"Everyone, as an official in Kaifeng Mansion, what you and I have done over the years is clear to everyone here tonight."
"No one wants to get to this point when it comes to matters of wealth and life. But as a human being, you can't benefit your family, nor can you bring trouble to your family."
"As long as we do this last thing today, my family and I will be protected by the big shots above."
"The emperor's grandson is about to enter the city. The things left by Cao Zhisheng are here. It is impossible for the emperor's grandson to suddenly come to Kaifeng for no reason. I think you all understand what is more important."

【The direct son of the Ming Dynasty】【】
In the darkness, the official of Kaifeng Prefecture spoke calmly.
All twenty people present were silent.
After a long time, there was finally movement in the crowd.
"Enough is enough with labor and capital! All these years have been earned by labor and capital!"
That was the governor of Kaifeng Mansion roaring in a low voice in the darkness.
No one criticized him, and no one spoke in agreement.
The official of Kaifeng Prefecture nodded: "Now that we understand everything clearly, let's be a good man for once, and it's just a matter of gritting our teeth!"
In the darkness, the Kaifeng Prefecture official took the ropes one by one and handed them to everyone's hands personally.
Everyone held the rope tightly in their hands.
The Kaifeng Prefecture official took a deep breath. He left the last rope for himself, looked back at everyone, and then walked towards the corridor of a terraced house not far from the tall building.
The rope was thrown high, passed through the beams under the corridor, and the two ends were tied together in a tight knot.
Following the actions of Kaifeng Prefecture to promote officials.
The remaining twenty people also walked to the corridor one after another.
A total of twenty-one life ropes were hung in the corridor.
The official of Kaifeng Mansion turned around and looked to the left and right: "You should have brought all the letters with you. Don't be afraid. If we don't die, the nine clans of the family and the entire Kaifeng Mansion will die."
"If you die, you will die! Forget it!"
The governor of Kaifeng Prefecture finally couldn't hold on anymore. He grabbed the rope with both hands, pushed himself up, and dropped his head into the rope loop.
In the darkness, Katcha sounded.
In the corridor, there was finally a wave of excitement in the eyes of the Kaifeng Prefecture official.
He shouted: "Gentlemen, please get on your way!"
In the darkness, muffled sounds could be heard from the corridors of the terraced rooms in the courtyard of the high-rise building in Kaifeng Mansion.
At the end, each body was hanging in the corridor and swaying gently.
The official of Kaifeng Prefecture closed his eyes, jumped up with all his strength, and threw his head into the rope loop.
In an instant, the high-rise courtyard fell silent.
At some unknown time, the sound of horse hooves could be heard in Kaifeng Fucheng outside the government office.
The gongs and drums also sounded.
Just at this time, a spark suddenly appeared from somewhere in the dark courtyard of the high-rise building.
With lightning speed, sparks ignited from under the tall building. With a gust of wind, the tall building that took three years to build was completely enveloped in the raging fire.
The flames whimpered in the night wind, and roars continued from the tall buildings.
The wind began to get faster, the whimpers turned into roars, and the flames were pulled by the wind as if they were about to rush into the night sky and ignite the entire starry sky.
The whole process took less than a cup of tea, and half of Kaifeng Mansion was like daylight.
Half the people in the city were awakened from their sleep by the sudden roar.
Tonight in Kaifeng Mansion, the tall buildings illuminate half of the city.
The tall buildings are like torches, taking away the beauty of Bianliang at night.
Zhu Yunxi, who had just entered the city with a group of accompanying officials and a large group of military horses, tightened the reins with both hands and stopped his horse suddenly.
The horses' hooves were raised and they neighed.
Teams of uniformed guards rode horses from behind to the front of the team, forming formations in front of the street and charging like wild geese.
The Qianyu Lin Youwei officers and soldiers who were urgently transferred from Chenliu County to accompany the troops into Kaifeng drew their sabers one after another and rushed into the streets on both sides of the team.

【The direct son of the Ming Dynasty】【】
In just a moment, a seamless battle formation was set up on the main street of Kaifeng Fucheng.
"How dare Kaifeng Mansion do this!"
Zhu Gaochi also tightened the reins with both hands, stared at the tall building that was like a pillar of fire with wide eyes, and roared at the top of his lungs.
Zhu Shangbing had already pulled out the long gun lying on the horseback, shook the gun barrel, and pointed the gun tip at the ground: "Are they going to destroy the evidence?"
Without waiting for anyone to answer.
Zhu Shangbing had already shouted sharply.
"Jinyiwei, Yulinwei Erlang!"
"Follow me and enter the Kaifeng government office!"
The fighting sounds of the crown prince of the Qin Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty echoed in the city of Kaifeng under the flickering firelight.
"Here!"
The officers and soldiers adjusted their battle formations again, and more troops and horses rushed to the front of the team.
On horseback, Zhu Yunxi's face turned dark.
The tall building turned into a pillar of fire, reflected in his boy's hole.
Zhu Yunxi's chest was raised high again and again, and fell again and again.
Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Shangbing had already turned to look at him, waiting for the final order.
Zhu Yunxi took a deep breath, but he couldn't suppress his temples that kept stirring.
After a long time, he let out a faint breath.
"The sword is sheathed and the gates of Kaifeng Fucheng are sealed."
"Gu, I have to go and see for myself."
"How long can this fire last?"
