Chapter 75 Great Harvest

Looking at the Dali Temple runners in front of him, Sheng Hong felt very satisfied. Fortunately, he traveled to a prosperous era. Although there were still sporadic rebellions, the deterrent power of the government still existed.

If he were living in a chaotic world where his future was uncertain, Sheng Hong really needed to consider whether it was worth offending so many officials and children of nobles.

They said that they were going to purge officials and children of nobles, but none of these children of nobles took it seriously.

They all thought that Sheng Hong was just a new "idiot" who was just going through the motions at most. Would he really dare to arrest them?

This is absolutely impossible! At least that's what they think.

When Sheng Hong and the runners from the Dali Temple appeared in the brothels of Tokyo Prefecture, the noble sons of the Great Zhou were all shocked.

"What do you want to do?
We are a noble family in Tokyo Prefecture.

How dare you, these crude and lowly bastards, arrest us!"

"Sir of this noble family, we are not lowly creatures, but servants of the Dali Temple.

I have been ordered to purge you, the sons of nobles!
Come with us!
Don't stay here!
Let's go somewhere else!" The team leader looked at the noble children in front of him with disdain.

"Damn it! Dali Temple?
Is it your newly appointed Dali Temple Shaoqing Sheng Hong?

Let me tell you! I am Yuan Wenshao, the second son of the Earl of Zhongqin's Mansion!

Let your Dali Temple Shaoqing come to see me!"

"Don't worry! You will definitely meet our Shaoqing!" The squad leader, who had received Sheng Hong's instructions long ago, did not show any surprise.

The Dali Temple's action can be said to have yielded a great harvest. Yuan Wenshao, the second son of the Yuan family of the Earl of Zhongqin, and Liang Han, the sixth son of the Liang family of the Earl of Yongchang, were all arrested. However, the most arrested were the children of the Gu family.

Upon hearing that their sons had been arrested by the Dali Temple, the fourth and fifth branches of the Gu family hurriedly found the eldest branch's Marquis Gu Yankai and said, "Brother, what should we do?
Ting Bing and Ting Yu have both been arrested by the Dali Temple!"

"Fourth uncle, fifth uncle, our Tingwei has also been arrested!" Xiao Qin said with a sad face.

"Then big brother, we need to think of a solution quickly, okay?

You can’t just sit here and do nothing!”

"In the past, the Dali Temple often purged the children of nobles, but it was always just a lot of noise with little action!
Why is it suddenly such a big deal this time!
Could it be because of the newly appointed Dali Temple Shaoqing?" Gu Yankai also looked at the fifth and fourth rooms with a puzzled look on his face.

"That's right! I remember now!
The new Shaoqing of Dali Temple is called Sheng Hong.

Not long ago, the engagement was just broken off by the Yuan family of Earl Zhongqin’s Mansion!

"For a while, we were being ridiculed by all the noble families in Tokyo Prefecture!" Little Qin, who knew the secret best, quickly explained.

"Ah? Among the noble children arrested this time is Yuan Wenshao, the second son of the Earl of Zhongqin Yuan family!

Could it be revenge from Sheng Hong, the Junior Minister of the Dali Temple?" The fourth wife of the Gu family said in surprise.

"It's probably Sheng Hong who is taking revenge on the Yuan family!" The fifth branch of the Gu family also responded.

“But what does this have to do with our Gu family members?
You can’t treat our Gu family like this!”

“It’s no use saying anything here now.

I will visit the newly appointed Shaoqing of the Dali Temple later.

Let's see what he's up to!" Gu Yan said with the final word.

Seeing that their eldest brother, Lord Gu Yankai, was willing to step forward, the fourth and fifth houses secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

“My Lord, I heard that our son Gu Tingye has connections with the Sheng family.

Why not let him go with the Marquis to the Sheng family!" Xiao Qin, who was standing by, suddenly had an idea and suggested.

"Hmph! Don't mention that evil creature to me!

Didn’t he always like to hang out in places with fireworks?
Why didn’t they catch him this time? "

"My Lord, Tingye is still young, you can't be too harsh on him!"

"Humph! Women's opinions!"

“I think Sheng Hong from the Sheng family is just a poor guy who has suddenly become rich.

There's nothing to worry about!
Once he sees the strength of us, the nobles of Tokyo Prefecture, he'll be obedient!" Gu Yankai said disapprovingly.

Tokyo Prefecture, the Earl of Zhongqin's Mansion.

"Uncle, our Wen Shao has been arrested by the Dali Temple!

You must think of a way to rescue him!"

"Hey! I already knew this!
The new Shaoqing of the Dali Temple is an acquaintance of our Yuan family!" Earl Zhongqin Yuan explained with a wry smile.

"Ah? That's great! Since he's an acquaintance, then quickly use your connections to ask this young official to release him!" The wife of Earl Zhongqin suddenly urged with a look of surprise.

"Humph! Enemies are also a kind of acquaintances!
The new Shaoqing of the Dali Temple is Sheng Hong from the Sheng family!"

"Ah? Didn't Sheng Hong just arrive in Tokyo Prefecture?
How did he suddenly become a powerful position like the Dali Temple Shaoqing? "The lady of the Earl Zhongqin's mansion widened her eyes in shock.

"Hey! Who said it wasn't?

I should have known Sheng Hong was so capable of making trouble.

We in the Yuan family are not in a hurry to break off the engagement with the Sheng family!

He came straight for our Yuan family!"

"Ah? He's from a small family, how dare he?"

"Humph! The last time I broke off the engagement, I really offended the Sheng family!
He is a clean official, so what is there for Sheng Hong to be afraid of? "

"What should I do? Should I go and ask for marriage again?"

"Idiot! Do you think this is a game?"

Dali Temple.

Looking at the still arrogant and domineering sons of noble families, Sheng Hong smiled happily. He accidentally saw Yuan Wenshao, which made him even happier.

The squad leader came to Sheng Hong and asked directly, "Master Shaoqing, how should we deal with these noble children?"

"No investigation, no trial, no questions! Just lock him up!"

"Yes! Your Excellency!"

"By the way! Are there any standards for food in the Dali Temple prison?"

“Your Excellency, there are standards!

For some important and special prisoners, there will be certain preferential treatments!"

"Haha, squad leader, you don't understand what I mean!
I'm not asking you to give them any preferential treatment, just provide them with the lowest possible standard of food!"

"Ah? Isn't this too much?!"

"I heard that when you were arresting these noble children, they were very disdainful of our Dali Temple?
If that's the case, why should we give them preferential treatment? "

After hearing Sheng Hong's words, the squad leader thought of the arrogance of these noble children just now, and felt a secret hatred in his heart.

"Yes! Your Excellency! I understand!"

"Also, tell the prison boss and the jailers here not to allow anyone to visit them!

No matter how strong the relationship is, all responsibility is placed on me!"

"Yes! Your lord!"

Sheng Hong knew that it was unrealistic to bring these noble sons to justice, so he could only keep them in prison temporarily. Ultimately, the emperor and the ministers would have to deal with them.

Anyway, I have already lit the fire, and I am just waiting for these nobles to jump up and down, while I just need to sit back and wait.

Sheng Hong's quick and brutal actions were unexpected by Han Da Xianggong and Gao Da Xianggong.

They thought Sheng Hong would just pretend to do something, or simply hide in the Dali Temple and not take any action. Then the two of them would reprimand Sheng Hong for his inaction.

Unexpectedly, Sheng Hong actually arrested these sons of nobles and put them in the Dali Temple prison, which completely surprised Han Daxianggong and the other man who were the "masterminds" behind the scenes.

"Haha, Mr. Han, Sheng Hong, that idiot, has really come out!

How do we proceed?"

“Haha, don’t bother!

I want to see how Sheng Hong continues!"

"Haha, poor Sheng Hong!

Offending you, Mr. Han, may be the thing he regrets most in his life!"

"Humph! I, Han, can't stand this kind of arrogant guy!

We must severely punish his arrogance!"

"Yes! At that time, Sheng Hong said that you are the one who is asking why you don't eat meat!
I was really shocked!
Then I wondered where this "hammer" came from! "Mr. Gao said with a funny look on his face.

"Hmph! Don't mention this to me again!
I get angry just thinking about it!"
