Chapter 441

Huai County, military camp.

In Zhang Xiu's camp, the charcoal fire was burning and the heat was diffused. The heat of death rises, dispelling the chill in the camp, making the camp warm as spring. Although it is already December weather, but with anthracite heating, it is much more comfortable.

Although it was cold, it did not affect Zhang Xiu's handling of government affairs.

During this period, Hu Zhao has taken office.

After Hu Zhao became the prefect of Hanoi, he did not interfere in the affairs of other counties in Hanoi County, but focused on Huai county. Because Hu Zhao is very clear that there are three major families in the country. What kind of decrees he will issue will definitely be violated, and even the decrees can not be conveyed.

Hu Zhao should control Huai county first.

Originally, the magistrate of Huai county was a member of the Niu family of the three families.

The county magistrate, Niu Gang, is in his early 40s.

When Niu gang was the magistrate of Huai County, he didn't make a big mistake, but he was lazy and tired, and even stopped dealing with government affairs. When Hu Zhao visited the county government, he found Niugang was not there for the first time, and immediately denounced Niugang.

For Hu Zhao, Niu gang was ordered by his family.

We should boycott Hu Zhao.

He even ignored Hu Zhao's orders, so Niu Gang immediately defended Hu Zhao's rebuke, saying that he was not going down to inspect the place. As soon as Niu Gang's words came out, Hu Zhao severely refuted them.

Because Hu Zhao mastered Niu Gang's whereabouts, Niu Gang clearly went to GouLan to drink flower wine, but said he was inspecting the place.

Hu Zhaoyi calls down, Niu Gang is muddled.

He was targeted by Hu Zhao.

Under such circumstances, Hu Zhao directly removed Niu gang from office by thunder. After Niu gang was dismissed, Hu Zhao did not appoint a new magistrate. Instead, he issued an order ordering officials in the county government to expose the guilty people.

Whoever can make a contribution will be the magistrate of Huai county.

It's a very simple plot.

It is to lure the officials in the county government to take the position of magistrate of huaixian county.

Although most of the county yamen were from the three major families, there were always people who were not affiliated to the three major families, and there were always people who wanted to climb up. Therefore, after Hu Zhao's order was issued, he pried open the monolithic huaixian officialdom.

Cao Leiyan, a Hucao in huaixian County, exposed a number of officials in the county yamen. All the people who were exposed by Lei Yan had solid evidence. After Hu Zhao got the news, he took all the people by thunder.

The whole huaixian officialdom was cleaned by Hu Zhao.

Hu Zhao took Lei Yan as the magistrate of Huai County, promoted the county magistrate and county captain again, and quickly controlled Huai county.

Even if Shi Zhang and others were angry, there was no way.

Hu Zhao used normal means of struggle. He did not mobilize his forces to directly suppress or eliminate the three families. He dealt with the three families by finding out their crimes.

Shi Zhang and others are helpless.

On the one hand, they sent people to assassinate Hu Zhao twice, both of which ended in failure.

Obviously, assassination doesn't work.

On the other hand, Zhang Xiu led the army to huaixian County, and Shi Zhang and other three people could not mobilize private soldiers to rebel. Because in front of Zhang Xiu's army, Shi Zhang's family private soldiers are like ants.

So in a short time, Hu Zhao took control of Huai county.

The three families are totally invincible.

After Hu Zhao took control of huaixian County, the order could be carried out, and then he began the drastic reform. Hu Zhao pushed forward one by one according to the plan he had made early in the morning. After Hu Zhao settled in Huai county and took the initiative, he began to attack other counties.

He needs to find out first.

Only when we have a clear understanding of the situation of each county and the details of each county magistrate can we make a move.

It's safe.

Zhang Xiu is very relieved that Hu Zhao governs the place.

With Hu Zhao in Hanoi, there must be a great rule.

On this day, when Zhang Xiu was dealing with government affairs, Wang Yue entered in a hurry. Wang Yue's face, with a dignified and serious look, reported: "Lord, just received the news from the royal guards, there is a poisoning phenomenon in huaixian county."

Zhang Xiu said, "what's the matter?"

Wang Yue said: "it's coal and stone poisoning!"

Zhang Xiu said: "how about the casualties?"

Wang Yue said: "up to now, 32 people have died. In addition, other counties in Hanoi county also suffered from poisoning and death. According to the summary of the news, nearly 100 people have died. More information is still under investigation. "

Zhang Xiu's eyes became sharper than ever before, and said: "the anthracite we use is non-toxic and smokeless, so it is impossible to have problems. During this period of time, I have been using it, and soldiers in the army have also used it, without any signs of poisoning. "

"Yes

Wang Yue nodded and said, "I'm also confused. We use anthracite, and there is no sign of poisoning. On the contrary, it is the common people outside that have a situation. "

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Xiu said, "we have no problem with coal and stone, but there is something wrong. The most likely thing is that there are other coal and stone flowing into huaixian county.""Step on it! Step on it

The sound of footsteps came from outside.

A royal guard quickly entered and handed in the latest information. Wang Yue did not take it apart after he took it, but gave it to Zhang Xiu directly.

Zhang Xiu tore open the envelope, opened the letter and read it quickly. After reading it, he said in a deep voice: "it's three big families again!"

Zhang Xiu's eyes are full of cool colors.

Wang Yue asked: "Lord, does this have anything to do with historians and other big families?"

Zhang Xiu nodded and replied, "now there are other merchants selling coal and stone in Huai County, even in Hanoi county. Some of the coal and stone sold by these people are purchased from us, and then some toxic coal and stone are mined and mixed, and then sold as inferior. These businessmen are from three families. "

At this point, Zhang Xiu's face was full of murders, and said: "I always said that as long as the three families did not violate the law and discipline, I would not kill anyone. This time, they should die! "

Wang Yue said: "I'm in a humble position to mobilize the people of the royal guards and arrest Shi Zhang, Dou Yu and Niu Li."

"No need!"

Zhang Xiu shook her head and answered.

Wang Yue said, "what is the master going to do?"

Zhang Xiu's eyes narrowed and said: "you immediately arrange the royal guards to take down all the merchants involved. Hu Zhao's intelligence can't be as fast as ours. At this time, the delay may have a certain impact on Hu Zhao. "

"Here it is

The more Wang got the order, he turned and left.

After Wang Yue left the camp, Zhang Xiu sat alone in the camp and thought about the next step.

"Somebody

A moment later, Zhang Xiu ordered again.

A soldier immediately entered and saluted, Zhang Xiu said: "inform Zhang jaw to see me"

"here!"

The soldiers have orders. Send them at once.

Not long after, Zhang jaw into the camp, Baoquan way: "Lord summoned, do not know what is important?"

Zhang Xiu ordered: "dispatch troops to gather and wait for my orders."

"Here it is

Open your jaw immediately.

Little by little, about half an hour later, Wang Yue hurried back and reported: "Lord, all the merchants involved in the case in huaixian county have won."

"I've been promoted to trial. They really bought our coal and stone on the orders of Shi Zhang, Dou Yu and Niu Li, and then mixed them with inferior coal and stone for sale."

"So as to make huge profits."

Wang Yue inquired: "the merchants have taken all of them. What shall we do next?"

Zhang Xiu said: "the next step is to start with the historians, the Dou family and the Niu family. I've asked Zhang Yan to mobilize the army. Now, I'll send an order to Zhang Yan to divide his troops into three groups, surround the three families and win them all. This time, Ben went to the historian himself. "

"Here it is

Wang dangyue immediately informed.

After a short time, Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ya led the army out of the camp and went straight to the three families.
