Chapter 472: Border Military Development
Not bad!
The reason why Xiaoquanzi helped Jiang Chen was because of the arrangement of Eunuch Zhang.
But, will things really go as smoothly as Eunuch Zhang thinks?
Late at night, in a house in the capital.
A figure in a white dress was reading in the study.
Suddenly, a guard ran in quickly!
"Miss! There's news! Jiang Chen will be back in the capital in four days!"
"Four days?"
The girl in the white dress was thoughtful when she heard this.
"Okay, go down and inform them, we can start!"
"Yes!"
Following the order from the girl in white dress, the guard left in a hurry!
After the guards left, the girl in the white dress curled up her lips into a smile.
"Haha, Jiang Chen, I want to see what kind of person you are!"
The next morning, in the capital, Kyoto Prefecture!
"Dong dong dong dong!"
A deafening drumbeat sounded!
A man with white cloth tied around his body and wearing coarse linen clothes is beating the drum vigorously!
As the sound of drums spread in all directions, many people came to watch!
"Oh my god! Someone actually came to Kyoto Prefecture to file a complaint!"
"This time, it's fun!"
"The drums of Kyoto Prefecture haven't been played for several years, right?!"
"This is really strange news!"
The onlookers were extremely shocked at this scene!
The Kyoto Prefecture's bailiffs rushed out in a hurry!
"Who's beating the drum?!"
The bailiff shouted at the man beating the drum!
"Sir! I, the common people, beat the drums!"
"I have a grievance and would like to ask the adults to make a decision!"
The man said with a painful look on his face!
"this……!?"
The yamen runners of Kyoto Prefecture looked at each other, their eyes filled with disbelief!
Not everyone can come and beat the drum in Kyoto Prefecture!
Moreover, the other party rushed to Kyoto Prefecture to beat the drum and complain, so it must be a big event!
The bailiffs hurried to report to the governor of Kyoto!
……
Soon, the Kyoto government office, which had been dormant for many years, opened its doors!
"Who is kneeling in the hall? What injustice has been done to him?"
Lord Li, the governor of Kyoto, slammed the gavel and asked the man!
"Your Excellency! Villager Wang Liu is from Liuzhou and was originally a border soldier!"
"Some time ago, Caomin was discharged from the army due to injury and returned home."
"But who would have thought that after I got home, I would find that my home was gone!"
"Over the years, our local county magistrate has been embezzling the military pay of the common people, and... he has also been collecting taxes from the common people's homes!"
"Because my wife couldn't pay the taxes, the county magistrate sold her to the capital and she became a servant in a brothel!"
"I wanted to go to the red-light district to rescue my wife, but I was beaten up by the guards there!"
"It's an injustice to the common people!"
"Please make the decision, sir!"
Wang Liu told his story in one breath.
After hearing this, the faces of the onlookers became extremely ugly!
"This county magistrate is so abominable! He actually bullied the family of the border troops!"
"That's right! If there were no border troops, could we live in peace and quiet like this!?"
"Yes! If it weren't for the border troops, who knows what would have happened to our Dajing!"
"Dog officer! Dog officer!"
The people kept cursing!
When Lord Li, the governor of Kyoto, heard this, he was also extremely shocked.
This guy is actually a border soldier! ?
This matter is not easy to handle!
If those generals knew this...
"Wang Liu! I already know about your affairs!"
"The person you are suing now is your local county magistrate, right?!"
The governor of Kyoto asked in a deep voice.
……
"Yes, sir!"
"Not only will I sue the local county magistrate, I will also sue the Wanhua Tower!"
"They beat up villains and bought many wives of frontier soldiers to use as... as prostitutes!"
"Their crimes are unforgivable!"
Wang Liu roared with grief and anger on his face!
However, when Lord Li, the governor of Kyoto, heard that Wang Liu was going to tell Wanhua Tower, he was dumbfounded!
If he was just a county magistrate, he could directly send him to the Dali Temple or the Ministry of Justice!
After all, the county magistrate was not under his jurisdiction.
But the Wanhua Tower...
Not only in the capital, but the most important point is...
Wanhua Tower is Zhang Ze’s property!
Zhang Ze is Eunuch Zhang’s godson!
This……
"Okay! I'm aware of this matter and will send someone to investigate immediately!"
"Where do you live? If I have something to do, I will send someone to inform you!"
Lord Li, the governor of Kyoto, asked with a serious face.
"Your Excellency! I have no place to live right now, but I am currently staying in a dilapidated temple in the western suburbs of the capital!"
Wang Liu said respectfully.
"Okay! I understand!"
"Don't worry, if what you said is true, I will definitely give you an explanation!" said the governor of Kyoto firmly.
"Thank you, sir!"
Wang Liu was grateful when he heard the words of the Kyoto governor!
After Wang Liu left, the prefect of Kyoto hurriedly sent someone to tell Zhang Ze about today's situation.
That’s Eunuch Zhang’s godson!
He can't do anything about it!
When Zhang Ze heard that someone dared to sue him, his face suddenly turned cold!
That afternoon, the dilapidated temple in the western suburbs of the capital was set on fire!
Originally, Zhang Ze thought that the matter would end here!
But who would have known that, that night... Wanhua Tower was actually set on fire!
Although it was discovered in time, Wanhua Tower did not suffer much damage!
But after the fire was extinguished, notices appeared all over the capital!
……
The notice said that Zhang Ze colluded with the Ministry of Revenue and embezzled the military pay of border troops from various places!
Moreover, they tricked the families of border troops into coming to the capital in the name of the Ministry of Revenue, and then sold them to human traffickers as slaves!
As soon as these words were spoken, the capital city instantly became boiling!
After Eunuch Zhang learned the news, he immediately found Zhang Ze!
"Asshole! You did such a good thing!"
When Eunuch Zhang saw Zhang Ze, he kicked him!
"Godfather, calm down!"
"My child...what did my child do wrong? Why are you so angry?"
Zhang Ze looked at Eunuch Zhang with a face full of grievance.
"what happen!?"
"Don't you know the notices in the capital?!"
"You are so bold! You dare to touch the family of Bian Jun!?"
"You don't want to live anymore!?"
Eunuch Zhang asked angrily!
"Foster father, I...I am innocent!"
"That Minister of Revenue is... a man of the Eighth Sage King, the Right Vice Minister of Revenue is Luo Ye, and the Left Vice Minister is a man of Cai Jing!"
"My child...how could I have the ability to collude with them?"
"This... this is the nonsense of that border soldier!"
"I bought his wife from a human trafficker through legal channels!"
"My child is innocent!"
Zhang Ze said this with a look of grievance on his face.
At the same time, he also took out the documents for purchasing slaves.
"Foster father, those border soldiers are bastards. They can't defeat their own county magistrate, so they deliberately framed me!"
"Father!"
"It really has nothing to do with you?" Eunuch Zhang's expression looked better after seeing the document in Zhang Ze's hand.
"Godfather, it is absolutely true, my child..."
"Report! Sir, His Majesty summons you to the palace!"
