Chapter 95 Revenge Comes Quickly

Tian Zhenshu and Zheng Shouli were very excited. This was the only "victory" they have achieved in recent years!

The two of them were enthusiastic and pulled Zhou Zheng to drink, telling about their depression and resentment over the years.

After a while of rising, Tian Zhenshu began to feel depressed again, shook his head and sighed, "Brother Zhou, you don't know anything. Although the emperor approved the 'Practice of the Clan', it was not implemented at all. In the treasury of the Ming Dynasty, more than half of the money and grain were given to the royal family, nobles and nobles every year..."

Zheng Shouli became even more angry and said, "The money and food in the treasury are decreasing, but the royal family and nobles are increasing. Do you know that King Rui imitated the previous system and divided the land for 40,000 hectares. There is no land for Shaanxi and Sichuan at all. He also needs to collect it in Huguang, Jiangxi and other places... Also, King Xin is already an adult and will have to settle the salary next year. He will be in the country in two years. He doesn't know where the salary is from..."

Zhou Zheng was drinking wine, and as he heard the two of them pouring bitter water, he shook his head secretly.

The problems of the Ming Dynasty were not one or two, but were everywhere, and needed fundamental innovation. However, the Ming Dynasty had no power to reform, but more of the desire to "restore the ancestral system and revive the Ming Dynasty", or, if you want to do nothing, just power!

The two of them had more than a little bit of bitterness. They kept talking while pulling Zhou Zheng, and the wine was poured into their mouths one by one.

Zhou Zheng doesn’t like drinking very much, so he just stays with him, listens, and occasionally interjects.

The two of them have been in the court for many years and are the censors. They have a deep understanding of the situation of the court and all aspects of the court affairs. They have told Zhou Zheng a lot of things they have never understood.

I don’t know how long it took, Tian Zhenshu finally stopped talking, his face turned red and his neck was thick, and his eyes were open, but he said very clearly, "Zhengyun, Li Hengbing, you have to be careful, he is your Shangguan again. In addition, after today, trouble will come, you... must hold on."

The pressure brought by the Ming Dynasty court is beyond imagination. In the past decade, the chief minister and officials of various departments have changed their minds. A small matter is enough to ruin a cabinet master's reputation and a different person. Who is not afraid of being frightened?

What's more, Zhou Zheng, a seventh-rank minor official who has just entered the official career.

Zhou Zheng had a premonition in the Golden Palace. He heard this and just nodded slightly and said, "Yes."

Zheng Shouli had already drunk too much, and nodded, "It's no big deal, isn't it just a bad life? No need to catch me, I'll eat some arsenic at home. If I don't help, I will commit suicide by jumping into the lake and will not suffer that humiliation!"

Zhou Zheng glanced at him and knew that he was talking after drinking, so he didn't take it seriously. He picked up the wine glass and thought silently in his heart.

This time, he offended both the two major cliques in the government and the opposition, destroying their attempt to rescue Wang Huazhen. Perhaps, many people are now planning how to deal with him.

“It’s snowing.”

Suddenly, I don’t know who said something.

Zhou Zheng, Tian Zhenshu, Zheng Shouli turned around and looked. Sure enough, there was heavy snow outside the window, which was very dense.

But I don’t know if it was drinking or something, Zhou Zheng and the other two didn’t feel how cold it was.

Tian Zhenshu's big eyes flashed with a faint helpless look, and she sighed, "It's snowing again. At this time last year, I looked at Sun Ge Lao Li Jing, and I don't know who it will be this year."

Zhou Zheng could feel the depressedness in Tian Zhenshu and Zheng Shouli's hearts. He thought about the changes next year. His eyes were beating slightly. He drank a glass of wine and said, "We are not without a chance."

Tian Zhenshu turned his head, looked at Zhou Zheng, sighed, and said, "Where is there any chance? This time, even if we don't have a prison disaster, we have to go back to our hometown..."

Zhou Zheng knew that this matter had to be done slowly and quietly planned without saying much.

At this moment, the footsteps suddenly sounded at the stairs. Liu Liuzhe hurriedly ran up, entered the private room, looked at the person present, and came behind Zhou Zheng, whispering, "Second Young Master, Cheng Jing has been captured."

Zhou Zheng raised his eyebrows and said to himself, "It's so fast, who did it?"

Liu Liuzhe looked calm and said, "The person I saw said that it was a yamen runner of the Censorate."

Tian Zhenshu and Zheng Shouli also heard it and sobered up a lot. Tian Zhenshu's eyes wide open and sneered, "It must be Li Hengbing's. This person was a gentleman who was solemn before, but he didn't expect to be a hypocritical hypocrite!"

Zheng Shouli stood up and said, "I'll do this, I want to see who will deal with us so soon!"

Tian Zhenshu was more calm and looked at Zhou Zhengdao, "No matter what, go to the Censorate to take a look first."

Zhou Zheng thought for a while and said, "Go."

Liu Liuzhe already knew about Zhou Zheng, and was very worried, and even more so on his face. He followed Zhou Zheng and whispered, "Second Young Master, Master wants you to go back as soon as possible, and there is also..."

Zhou Zheng waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about it when you go back tonight."

Liu Liuzhe had to stop talking and followed Zhou Zheng and the other two to the Censorate.

As soon as he arrived at the Censorate, Yao Tongshun was already waiting at the door. When he saw the three of them, he hurried over and said anxiously, "Sir, I just experienced that the company has official documents, you are going to be suspended."

Tian Zhenshu raised his eyebrows and turned his head to Zhou Zhengdao, "Not to say these things for now, I'll take them out before I talk about them."

Zhou Zheng took a deep breath, and there was a cold look on his face. He knew there would be revenge, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly!

"Let's go." Zhou Zheng walked straight inside, without going to Zhejiang Road, and went to Sizhusi.

Those arrested by the Censorate will be imprisoned in the prison.

Zhou Zheng and others walked towards the Si Prison. Many people watched him in the past. When they saw Zhou Zheng, Tian Zhenshu, and Zheng Shouli, they all avoided him like snakes and scorpions. Not to mention getting close, they didn't dare to call him, so they hurriedly avoided him.

Zhou Zheng came to the prison of Sizhusi, but there was no obstacle and went straight in.

The prison of Sizhushi is relatively simple and more "temporary". The prison guards brought three people to a cell. There was a person who looked like a censor and taught a lesson in the prison.

This is a very tall and fat middle-aged man. He held his hands behind his back and said coldly to the cell, "Shengjin, I tell you, Zhou Zheng is over. Please honestly explain how many cheap businesses he has, how much wealth he has, and how many cliques he has, honestly explain, I can give you a good end, otherwise, I will let you die before him!"

Zhou Zheng's eyes shone coldly, he stepped forward and said, "When will I die?"

Cheng Jing heard this sound inside, jumped up, ran to the railing, grabbed the railing, looked at Zhou Zheng with his head protruding, looking forward with hope, but he didn't say anything.

The fat man was stunned, turned his head, looked at Zhou Zheng's official uniform, lowered his head, looked down at Zhou Zheng, and sneered, "You are Zhou Zheng? Don't you know that you have been suspended?"

Zhou Zheng looked at this man's official uniform and was clearly a candidate, that is, a candidate for the Thirteen Supervisors and Censors.

Zhou Zheng held his hands behind his back and said lightly, "I was suspended and my Shangguan is also yours. This is how you met Shangguan? I can now completely punish you for contempt for Shangguan and lock you up."

The fat man raised his head and raised his chest, but lowered his eyes, looked down on Zhou Zheng, and sneered, "Take me? You deserve it! Let me tell you the truth, I don't care about this dog thing. I caught him to attract you. When you come, don't think about going out and someone comes!"

As soon as the fat man finished speaking, seven or eight yamen runners immediately surged out from both sides of the prison cell, surrounding Zhou Zheng and others!
