Xu Taiping decisively agreed to Feng Shibo's request.
I am worried about how to maximize the benefits of Hu Jinbiao's corpse.
Isn't this, the opportunity has come?
I report the crime.
I will take the initiative to apply for handling the case.
Go back and take out Hu Jinbiao's body to close the case.
Isn’t this reward already in hand?
Xu Taiping agreed so readily that Feng Shibo was a little surprised.
Feng Shibo tentatively reminded: "Brother, if you really do this, it will be equivalent to showing that you are on your side, and you will offend Xia Xueyi and others."
Xu Taiping scratched his head and smiled naively: "Mr. Feng, with Mr. Liu's relationship, even if the adults don't have this banquet, the young one will still stand by the adults."
"really?"
"Yes, I had a grudge against Xia Xueyi. I also asked Zhang Changan to deliver a message to the prefect's mansion. It's a pity that Zhang Changan didn't deliver it. Otherwise, I would have been your servant long ago."
Feng Shibo frowned: "Zhang Chang'an? That clerk in the police squad?"
"Yes, that's him. When I was young, I was worried about joining the company, so I begged him and gave him a thousand taels of silver. But I still don't believe him."
Feng Shibo shook his head: "If he really delivers a message to the prefect's mansion, I won't know about it, but I have never seen him or heard any similar message. Brother, you have been cheated."
"This guy named Zhang, come back and deal with him."
"Well, little Shu Zuo is not worth mentioning," Feng Shibo nodded: "Remember the mission just now."
"I'll do it as soon as I catch Wang Jingshen."
"You want to arrest Wang Jingshen?"
"Yes, I received this mission yesterday."
Feng Shibo frowned with a solemn expression: "Brother, do you know the origin of Wang Jingshen?"
"The disciple of Zhang Facheng of Jinzhou Tongtian Temple, um, an abandoned disciple. He was kicked out of the mountain gate because he violated the sect's rules and lived in Yingyin. He did all kinds of evil. He is a cultivator in the Jindan realm, right?"
"Brother, you only know one but not the other."
"Mr. Feng, please enlighten me."
"The information you see is the most basic surface information, and all the children in the county know it."
"Is there any inside story?"
"Yes," Feng Shibo lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "Then Wang Jingshen's cultivation is not weak, but it is not too strong either. He is only in the Golden Core realm. There are many better than him in the county. Why can he run rampant? You've been hiding for decades without getting hurt?"
Xu Taiping slandered.
It wasn't because the local officials were perfunctory.
But he shook his head: "I don't know, maybe...does he have a backer?"
Feng Shibo clapped his hands and said, "Hey, I'm very keen. It's because of his backing that he can be free so far."
"Who is this backer?"
"Zhang family."
"What's the origin of this home?"
Feng Shibo's voice was even lower: "The Zhang family is one of the three major families in Yingyin, and it is also the most powerful family on the surface. The family advocates Xuefeng Yingzhou Academy and Jinshi level cultivation."
Xu Taiping frowned: "Jinshi realm?"
"Yes, Jinshi realm," Feng Shibo sneered: "Look down on Jinshi realm? Oh, yes, you have also killed Jinshi realm masters, but you can kill those few Jinshi realm masters not because you are really that strong, but because they are small Look at you, I gave you an opportunity to take advantage of, but Zhang Xuefeng is cautious by nature and will never give you that opportunity."
"this……"
"Also, Zhang Xuefeng is only Zhang Jiaming's top expert, but the Zhang family is rich and has secretly won over many experts. Wang Jingshen is just one of them. Moreover, Zhang Xuefeng has eight sons who are all talented, each with their own strengths. His grandson There are many geniuses in the family, and three grandsons are also studying at Yingyin Academy, and are highly regarded by the masters of the academy. All these things have made the Zhang family extremely prosperous, and they are vaguely looking to leave Yingyin, but they only lack an opportunity to do so. "
Xu Taiping frowned even more: "No one can take care of this house?"
Feng Shibo sneered: "The powerful and tyrannical families of the aristocratic families have a profound foundation. The Zhang family, for example, has been entrenched in Yingyin City for more than three thousand years. It has experienced ups and downs several times during this period, but its foundation has not been damaged. It is a standard thousand-year-old wealthy family. Do you think they have been in Yingyin City for more than three thousand years?" How much wealth and connections have you accumulated?”
Without waiting for Xu Taiping to speak, he continued: "There are two thousand-year-old families in Yingyin County alone. If we expand it to the entire Yingzhou, how many thousand-year-old families do you think there are?
"Eight, eight thousand-year-old families, and an honorable family that accompanied the founding emperor on his expeditions in the east and west during the founding of the country.
"These big families have been continuously marrying each other for thousands of years. They have become intertwined and become a huge local force. If it weren't for the strong power of the imperial court, countless surnames would have changed in this country.
"So, who do you think dares to touch these wealthy families easily?"
Xu Taiping frowned: "Don't you dare, Lord Prefect?"
Feng Shibo sighed: "To put it bluntly, if your Excellency takes action rashly, you will definitely be driven away in the end. Without the support of these wealthy families, your position as governor will not be stable."
"This, isn't this aristocratic family equivalent to the local emperor?"
"almost."
"So scary?"
"Brother, you are still too young," Feng Shibo said with emotion, "Guess how much grain share the Zhang family controls in Yingyin County?"
"Thirty percent?"
"Ha ha ha ha ha……"
Feng Shibo smiled sarcastically for a while, then stretched out his finger and made a gesture.
Xu Taiping was shocked: "70%?"
Feng Shibo nodded heavily: "This is only the nominal share. When paying the grain tax, the government has to buy grain from the Zhang family."
Xu Taiping was really shocked.
If the Zhang family just has money, then that's it.
But the Zhang family's control of Yingyin County's grain bags is another concept.
Manipulating food prices is trivial.
If they are ruthless and completely cut off food, millions of people in Yingyin County will be without food.
By then, refugee riots and uprisings would follow, and Yingyin County would be completely paralyzed.
This is very dangerous.
No wonder even Jiao Kaicheng didn't dare to touch the Zhang family.
If this is not handled well, the consequences will be disastrous, and the court will never allow this to happen.
Feng Shibo continued: "And this is just food. Where's the salt? Where's the iron? Where's the wine? Where's the cotton, linen and silk? The Zhang family and other families have already divided up all walks of life in Yingyin County, so once they are They were forced into a desperate situation, and even the Yexiang husbands would give up their food collectively, and before the food was finished, the stench of Yingyin County would rise to the sky."
Damn it!
horrible!
These big families have finally gained a foothold.
Unless the imperial court sends a super master like Mu Yong to decisively destroy these big families with the power of thunder.
Otherwise, we can only maintain the status quo.
Aristocratic families have been the main force in dynasty changes from ancient times to the present.
Xu Taiping couldn't help but shake his head when he thought about the frequently changing historical dynasties before time travel.
The Jin Dynasty seemed powerful, but in fact it was in a very dangerous situation.
If the problem of the aristocratic family's excessive power cannot be solved, it will definitely be counterattacked by the aristocratic family.
This is not a prediction, but an inevitable law.
Even if the Jin Dynasty controls powerful military power and monk power, the situation will inevitably slide towards that situation.
Because aristocratic families will also accumulate strength, and when their strength expands enough to compete with the Zhao royal family, they will definitely explode.
Made.
It won't break out suddenly, right?
The situation in Yingyin County, which is rich and located in the hinterland of the Jin Dynasty, is already so dangerous. What about other relatively poor states and counties?
What about those border states and counties where fighting is ongoing?
Xu Taiping thought about what happened in Jianyang City.
The Xiaowang Village Massacre, the Burning of the Imperial Envoy, the Ambush and Murder of Mu Yong, County Magistrate Zhou Yucheng, Tianxia Gang, Yu Piaopiao of Qunfang House, Yu Sanniang of Tianxian Yuan, etc.
Suddenly I felt cold all over my body.
