Fan Xian breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the people's hearts were turned towards the court.

"Fellows and fellow villagers, starting from today, your life will return to normal. The city gate will be opened before sunset today. Farm the land when it is time to do it, do business when it is time to do business..."

"From now on, no one in this Xingyang City will dare to bully you anymore. The imperial court will make the decision for you and give you a peaceful world..."

"Master Xie Qingtian..."

"You should thank Your Majesty!"

"Long live your Majesty, long live long live..."

Fan Xian cupped his fists and cupped his hands, bowed deeply, and then ordered his body to be taken outside the city to feed the wild dogs!

In one afternoon, the Zheng family in Xingyang was so rich and unkind that they oppressed the people. They couldn't stand it anymore, so they attacked the city and destroyed the Zheng family.

The governor of Zhengzhou and the guard of Hulao Gate heard the news and rushed to the scene, but Zheng was beheaded and could only collect Zheng's body.

There is another news, the Zheng family has done too many evil things and was seen by the gods in the sky. The Zheng family's old house was struck down by thunder, and the Zheng family's patriarch was also struck to death by thunder.

In the evening, good news finally came from Zheng's old house.

Chen Qian held a stack of letters and looked up to the sky with excitement and laughed: "God has not failed me, God has not failed me. After three years, I can finally feel proud."

"Come here, come quickly. We'll rush it 800 miles away and send it to Chang'an."

Zheng Yuankui's body was exhumed.

He carried fifteen top-secret letters with him, half of which were related to the wealthy noble families in Shandong, and the other half were so top-secret that Chen Qian did not dare to open them.

Zheng Yuankui once wrote to Qi Wang and some aristocratic families in Shandong, and even sent important members of the family to negotiate, hoping to help the Zheng family overcome this difficulty.

But other families are waiting and watching. In their opinion, Li Shimin will not openly send troops to kill the Zheng family.

But they never expected that Li Ke, the sixth child, would be there.

Therefore, Zheng Yuankui directly hid the secret documents of his dealings with other families on his person. If something happened to him, the Zheng family, no one would be able to make it easy.

However, other families still did not take Zheng Yuankui's threat seriously. They believed that Li Shimin did not dare to destroy the Zheng family, and the most they could do was reduce the Zheng family's officials in the court, which was in their interests.

After sending away these letters, Chen Qian returned to Zheng's old house again.

His Majesty's affairs were finally explained, but before leaving, the King of Shu also gave an order, which was to find a list.

"General Qu Tu, this is not enough. Keep digging, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you will still find for me a list of Zheng's secrets hidden throughout the country."

Qu Tuquan was also speechless, turning over inch by inch.

Gunpowder packets were dug out below, and a passage leading outside the city was dug out. He was so frightened that he quickly asked someone to block it.

"Chen Governor, I'm afraid there is no such list. The subordinates have been searching for it inch by inch. We can't dig any more."

Then, he whispered: "Before, a hole was dug below leading to the outside of the city..."

Chen Qian: "..."

This time Chen Gan really understood why Zheng's old house suddenly collapsed.

He had seen the Zheng family's old house collapse before and was puzzled. How did His Highness do it?

It turned out that the site of someone else's old house was hollowed out...

As for how it collapsed, he didn't know. I'm afraid His Highness had mastered something.

"Fill the hole back, find the source outside the city, and fill it in. Don't let anyone discover it."

"As for the list, I'd better look for it as much as possible. I'm thinking about it. With Zheng Yuankui's sophistication, it's impossible to keep this list."

"The official knows."

Later, Chen Qian returned to the Yamen and called Fan Xian. After asking about the Zheng family's property in and outside the city, he wrote a secret report to Li Shimin.

The beauty of April in the world is gone, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are in full bloom.

All the flowers in Guanzhong have withered, and the peach blossoms next to Jinshan Temple have just begun to bloom.

Haizhu led his men to dig out the old Zen Master Huiren's small treasury, pulled a cart full of gold cakes, and returned home happily.

The old Zen master was sitting in an ox cart with a melancholy look on his face.

The arrogant King of Shu forced him to have no way out. In the end, he had to burn down the Jinshan Temple and took his two disciples to the King of Shu's palace.

But this fat man didn't even take in the three of them, saying that the Prince of Shu's palace didn't support idle people, especially monks like him.

Unless you can get money, or kill a monk as a pledge.

The old Zen Master Huiren was shocked by the fat man's lower limit. He sighed, the King of Shu is really the kind of person who plucks the hair of the goose... No, he should be the kind of person who has to cook and eat the geese that fly over.

"Amitabha……"

"Buddha, Buddha, why do you put this kind of people in this world? They should be put in the eighteenth level of hell!"

"Old Zen Master, you are very good. This time you have truly become a guest of our Shu Palace."

"When the young master returns, I will report your situation to the young master."

"It's just that you, old bald donkey, are really good at hiding money. I searched for it several times, old pig, but couldn't find it. That's why I forced you to do it. You can't blame me, old pig."

"Amitabha...donor, aren't you afraid of retribution?"

Hai Zhu smiled happily and said: "I don't believe in Buddha or God, so I believe in our young master, retribution? That's nonsense." ŴŴŴ.BIQUGE.biz

The oxcart was moving slowly, and Haizhu was lying on the oxcart with his head resting on his hands, looking at the blue sky. He missed his young master a little.

When the young master is here, I follow him and live happily.

The young master is gone, and he is in charge of the Shu Palace. He has so many troubles that he has lost all his hair.

"Drive, drive..."

"Get out of the way of the bullock cart in front of you, hurry up at 800 miles..."

A group of light cavalry, carrying a flag, one man and two horses, roared towards them, and puffs of smoke rose in the distance.

The driver driving the cattle quickly pulled the cattle to the side of the road and let the soldiers who were rushing eight hundred miles pass.

If you block these people who are sending eight hundred miles to rush, it will be a death penalty.

Old Zen Master Huiren and Haizhu had already jumped off the ox cart and watched the group of people roaring towards them.

Coming from the east, there is currently no war in the east. The only place that can use 800 miles to rush is probably Xingyang.

I don’t know if the young master is okay...

The old Zen master also looked at the cavalry going away. When he arrived at the Prince of Shu's Mansion, he knew that the place where the Prince of Shu was going this time was Xingyang. Combining the information in the previous newspapers, he knew that the Zheng family in Xingyang was estimated to be finished.

Now that Babaili is coming in a hurry, it is estimated that the damn King of Shu is coming back.

He had seen with his own eyes who that guy was leading...

When they passed by, Buddha had to give way to others.

If the Zheng family is immortal, he would rather surrender this head to the Buddha.

He quickly clasped his hands together, recited a Buddha's name, and lamented that Zheng Yuankui had been kicked in the head by a donkey. It was not good to offend anyone but this living king of hell.

The more I live, the more I go back.

Look, I have even handed over the last incense money.

I am just afraid that the living King of Hell will attack Buddhism!

Alas, Li Shimin suffered such an evil fate, and the Shandong family... no, it should be that the rich and powerful in the world will not live long.

This group of cavalry rushed all the way to Chang'an City and came directly to the palace gate. They took off the leather bag on their backs and asked people to take them to see His Majesty.

The soldiers guarding the palace gate immediately opened a green channel for the soldier and took him quickly to the Liangyi Palace.

It was already afternoon. Li Shimin had had lunch and had been standing in front of a map, studying something seriously.

This map includes Tuyuhun and Tubo on the entire Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Just yesterday, Duan Xuanzhi had sent an urgent message from Eight Hundred Miles, and the negotiations between Tuyuhun and Datang had broken down.

Duan Xuanzhi requested to go to war to give Tuyuhun Murong Fuyun Khan some color.

Of course, Li Shimin got it right and asked Duan Xuanzhi to beat him to death.

Originally, Tuyuhun did not pay tribute seriously, but because it recognized it as a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, it did not care about it.

But he regretted his marriage and made a sneak attack on the border town of Tang Dynasty. He, Li Shimin, was not a Clay Bodhisattva.

If he didn't defeat the unfilial son Tuyuhun, he would not be Li Shimin.

However, he never thought about marrying the princess of Tang Dynasty to the son of that old guy Murong Fuyun.

It’s not like the Tang Dynasty couldn’t defeat Tuyuhun, so why did they marry their daughters?

Now, he has also set his sights on Tuyuhun, a place that can raise plateau war horses.

If you raise a plateau war horse, you can defend yourself against Tibet, and you can even eat a piece of Tubo meat.

Songtsen Gampo also saw the Tang Dynasty's plan and urgently sent the Prime Minister Lu Dongtsen to come to the Tang Dynasty to propose marriage.

They hope that the two countries will marry and develop together in a friendly way.

It is also obvious what Songtsen Gampo means.

He was afraid, afraid that Li Shimin would directly seize Tuyuhun, which was stuck between Tang Dynasty and Tubo. This would be bad news for Tubo.

There is a small country sandwiched between two big countries, which is the buffer zone. But if this small country is gone, the friendly relations between the two countries will no longer be friendly, and sooner or later they will go to war.

But Tubo was not ready for war yet. Songtsen Gumbo had just taken over the mess that was Tubo not long ago.

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent call coming from Xingyang." Wang De ran in regardless of his appearance.
