All-Heavens Star Chart

In a blink of an eye, Zhou Chen has been in Renyouyu County for three days.

In these three days, great changes have taken place in Youyu County.

There were five thousand households in Youyulinwei that originally guarded the Shenhekou Pass. Among them, there was one thousand households. A total of 1,200 people were stationed in Youyu County.

Nowadays, there is neither a Tatarite tribe invading the border, nor has the Ming Dynasty reported that it is about to leave the customs for soldiers. The military mobilization of such a guard station has caused the entire Youyu County, and even the entire Datong Dijie was alarmed by this.

Until You Yulinwei commander Tie Shaotang sent the Imperial Court to the Imperial Court, and the news that you restrained the entire You Yulinwei with a tiger amulet was conveyed to the upper level of Datong Town, all the soldiers under Datong Town resumed their peace. .

As a result, the officials in the county government offices also gradually learned the reasons for the changes in Youyu County.

Most people's hearts have calmed down, but some people's expressions have become more and more panic.

The two most obvious ones are the patriarch Fan Qichang and Tian Yongliang from the Fan and Tian families of the Eight Great Family of Shanxi Merchants.

The big houses of Fan and Tian are not far away from Youyu County, and they are both in Datong Mansion, Shanxi.

So on the 2nd day when Zhou Chen arrived in Ren Youyu County, the two of them received the news that their family members in Youyu County were detained in the county jail.

Following, the invitations of Cheng Sutong and Wang Yan from Youyu County also arrived at Fantian's family at the same time.

Said it was an invitation. In fact, the attitude given by Su Tong and Wang Yan on behalf of Youyu County is very tough.

For the reason that Fan and Tian staff collided with the imperial court order officer, they questioned Fan and Tian for no way to govern, so that patriarch Fan Qichang and Tian Yongliang of the two families went to Youyu County in three days. Personally make people.

In the beginning, Fan Qichang and Tian Yongliang, the two big merchants, simply didn't regard it as the same thing in their hearts.

The left and right is just a slight offense to a Grade 7 prefect. Given their relationship in Datong Prefecture, please tell me that it’s all right if you make a peace. They simply don’t need them. Two of the eight Great Family of Shanxi merchants, two of them patriarch came forward in person.

Although the status of the First Rank level of merchants is not high in the Ming Dynasty, when the scale reaches the level of the Eighth Great Family of Shanxi Merchants, their personal connections are still not allowed to rest.

At least trifling a Grade 7 magistrate can still not shake a commercial power of the scale of the Shanxi Merchants Eight Great Family.

However, Fan Qichang and Tian Yongliang have greatly underestimated the power of Zhou Chen, the new magistrate of Youyu County.

Let the two of them go to the door and walk the relationship, but they are simply unable to settle the trouble that the Fan Tian family suffered in Youyu County.

The situation in the officialdom of Datong Prefecture is very delicate. The sudden transfer of You Yulinwei and the active activity of the Bright Gown Guard spy are all made by Zhou Chen, the new magistrate of Youyu County. leading.

Don’t look at the prefect’s appearance as just a Grade 7 official, but the other officials of Datong Prefecture are not stupid. They can naturally know that Zhou Chen's hidden official status is absolutely amazing.

Therefore, no matter how the patriarchs of the Fan Tian family sought help, looking at the entire Datong Mansion, no one dared to take this trouble.

Even Zhou Chen's immediate boss in name, the prefect of Datong kept secret about this matter.

These Old Fox, who are in the officialdom, are best at being worldly-wise and play safe. How can they easily cause trouble for themselves?

As the deadline passed by Youyu County Government is getting closer and closer, Fan Qichang and Tian Yongliang are as anxious as ants on a hot pot.

This is not because the two of them valued the staff they had left in Youyu County, but because they looked at it through the Youyu County government so resolutely.

Fan Qichang and Tian Yongliang have already faintly guessed that Zhou Chen is directly looking for trouble with their Fan Tian family.

Through other officials from the Datong Mansion who have made friends with the Fan Tian family, Fan Qichang and Tian Yongliang also gradually learned a bit of Zhou Chen's powerful strength in secret.

Suddenly, such an unfathomable great character is eyeing the Fan Tian family. How can Fan Qichang and Tian Yongliang not worry?

Although the Fantian family is one of the eight great families of Shanxi merchants, in the final analysis, they still cannot escape the low-ranking class of merchants.

If after removing the relationship network operated by the Fan Tian family and letting them go to fight the Imperial Court commander alone, they really don't have the strength and outlook.

In desperation, the two patriarchs, Fan Qichang and Tian Yongliang, could only go to Youyu County to apologize in person and test Zhou Chen's attitude.

At dusk, when the three-day deadline given by Zhou Chen was about to pass, Fan Qichang and Tian Yongliang finally appeared at the gate of Youyu County.

Except for a few guards, Fan Qichang and Tian Yongliang can be said to be simple, very low-key.

The huge pomp and airs of the Shanxi Shangba Great Family are no longer at all, for fear of causing Zhou Chen's unhappiness.

Walking to the outside of Youyu County Office, I saw two middle-aged men in silk and brocade gowns slowly walking up the stairs in front of the county office, and the others stopped and stayed on the stairs. Down.

Among the two well-dressed men, the stature is slightly short, but the very rich middle-aged man is Fan Family’s patriarch Fan Qichang.

The other tall and thin man, the man with a fair face and no beard is naturally Tian Yongliang, the patriarch of the Tian family.

The two came closer, Fan Qichang moved towards the guards at the gate of the county government cupped the hands: "I bother the two officials when they came in and informed them, they said Fan Family Fan Qichang and Tian Jia Tian Yongliang asked to see you Master county magistrate."

Fan Qichang was very polite and polite even in the face of these two trifling officers who were not even small officials. One of the business leaders.

Although Tian Yongliang did not speak, he still cupped the hands to the two officers with a smile.

After the two officers looked up and down Fan Qichang and Tian Yongliang, one of the officers turned around and moved towards the county office and ran in.

The other officer walked forward and said back and forth, "I would like to ask you two again for a while, my brother has already gone in to report."

These two officers Although the identities of Fan Qichang and Tian Yongliang are not clear, but before they stationed at the gate of the county government, the county Cheng Sutong and the main book Wang Yan have instructed both of them. Fan Tian’s surname will come in the next few days. When the time comes, you can report directly.

If not, the two guards will at least question Fan Qichang and Tian Yongliang.
