During the Taiping Rebellion, Zeng Guofan used thunderbolts to suppress the locality, so for this great Confucian, there was a very indecent nickname 'Zeng Shaved Head'.

It is said that Zeng Guofan killed people like hemp at the beginning.

On the riverbank, the setting sun shone on the reeds by the river, and the bodies of seven corrupt and disaster relief officials were still lying there.

After Su Yan's sentence 'show the public', there was a cry on the river beach.

Hundreds of people in custody wailed as they were tied up on the riverbank.

"Uncle!"

"Daddy!"

"Baby!"

"Master!"

"Brother!"

"Brother!"

The crying and shouting were one after another, and the hearts were wrenching.

When these young men saw the call of their relatives and knew that they were going to be killed, they also wept.

"Master Futai, please be gracious, don't kill my father!"

"Master Futai, you are very gracious, show mercy, spare the life of my man!"

"He was also forced to be a scoundrel by these corrupt officials and corrupt officials, he stole the rice, he didn't eat a bite, it was all given to me and my child, Master Futai, if you want to kill, kill our mother and son, come in exchange for his life!"

Hundreds of women, children, old and weak, cried and pleaded with Su Yan.

Su Yan was hard-hearted and unmoved, turned over and said: "If the people of other porridge factories also follow suit, and they all smash the porridge factory to grab the porridge, where is the law and discipline of this government?" ”

"The law of the country is like a mountain, the iron law is ruthless, don't blame this house!"

After Su Yan finished speaking, hundreds of officers and soldiers stepped forward and dragged them away from the river beach and were escorted to Qingzhuang.

Their family members on the side were willing to cry in the push and shove with the officers and soldiers.

"Baby, you can't go, the Zhu family is still counting on you to spread out."

"The child's father, you are gone, leaving us orphans and widows, how can our father and mother live?"

"Big brother, big brother, I also have a share of the food robbery, you also arrested me together, and I will die with my eldest brother."

One of the crying voices: "What are you crying about?" violated the law of the country, and even these officials and masters were beaten to death, can any of us ordinary people survive? I just ask Lord Futai to have mercy on us and give us a whole corpse! ”

Lin Yanchao watched from the sidelines.

When Su Yan ordered these people to be killed, he did not come forward to intercede. First, as a second official, he pointed fingers at the affairs of the government when he first arrived, which is a taboo in officialdom.

spread out, not only did it seem that he didn't know how to behave, but also offended the dictatorial Su Yan.

Second, he thought that Su Yan would not kill people just like that. Raising it high and falling down gently is the consistent way of officialdom to use both grace and power. Therefore, Lin Yanchao originally thought that the two general judges present, or the magistrate of Shangqiu, would have someone to persuade Su Yan's subordinates to show mercy.

They are more suitable to say this than Lin Yanchao. But at the moment, none of these people had the intention of coming out to speak.

Seeing that Su Yan was about to leave, Lin Yanchao was also very embarrassed in his heart.

If you stand up at this time and plead for the people, it is equivalent to the second-in-command provoking the authority of the first-in-command, and it is very easy to cause discord between the two. This is something that Lin Yanchao never wants to face, for a strong official like Su Yan, if he offends him, then his life in Guide Mansion will definitely be difficult in the future.

Lin Yanchao hesitated again and again, seeing that Su Yan was about to go, and the other two general judges, as well as the magistrate of Shangqiu, were all taken by Su Yan's prestige on weekdays, and he didn't dare to say a word.

Lin Yanchao couldn't help gritting his teeth, came to the people and said, "Wait for the people, what kind of world is it to blame?" In ancient times, beggars would rather starve to death than eat the food they came, so the government wants to kill you, which is not only in line with the law of the country, but also reasonable, and you still have nothing to complain about in your heart. ”

Who does it seem that the common people are talking about here?

When the officials on the side heard the sound, they looked at Lin Yanchao, and then shouted to the people: "The second master spoke, did you hear it?" ”

"If any of you dare to cry, arrest them all!"

When the common people heard this, they all showed that they dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, if it weren't for the same master, the most powerful officials outside the prefect of the entire prefecture, they would have scolded each other a long time ago.

But even so, someone still whispered: "This dog officer." ”

After speaking, Lin Yanchao came to Su Yanma and said: "Futai, these people are ignorant and ignorant, and they don't understand the royal law, which is really not enough to make the Futai adults angry with thunder. Please calm your anger. ”

Su Yan said in a deep voice: "This government killed them not because of their own anger, but because of the law of the country!" ”

Lin Yanchao nodded and said: "Futai, the duke is selfless, and the lower officials admire it." However, the law of the country is like a mountain, but it is nothing more than human affection. Of course, these people should be punished for the crime of making trouble, but according to the court law, the people gather to make trouble, and the first evil can be severely punished. ”

"Of course, at this very time, there is nothing wrong with doing extraordinary things, and under the rule of the government and Taiwan, it is not inappropriate to deter the small. However, corrupt officials have been subdued and have a deterrent effect. The lower officials implored the Lord of Futai to read that if they were cornered, it would be better to change their flail name, so that they would be allowed to live, so that they could know the kindness of the court, what did Futai think? ”

After Lin Yanchao finished speaking, the two of them were judged, and Shangqiu Zhixian both showed a playful smile.

Lin Yanchao's move is really unwise, for the lives of dozens of ordinary people, he came out to Su Yan and said, as the second-in-command of the new official, you will challenge the authority of the first-in-command, which is a taboo in officialdom.

Although Lin Yanchao's words were tactful enough to give Su Yan a step to step down, since Su Yan became an official, he has always been stubborn and self-serving, and even the officials of the three divisions dared to contradict it, and they couldn't get off the stage if they moved.

When Su Yan heard this, he said: "These Diao people are holding back their ambitions, smashing the porridge factory, and treating the officials as contemptuous. Sima, don't touch the benevolence of women, this government has been a pro-people official for so many years, when to kill, when to release, you have your own measure. ”

Lin Yanchao knew that Su Yan was extremely difficult to speak, so he could only lower his attitude and said: "What Futai said is extremely true, and the subordinate officials are a little softer. Originally, he shouldn't have talked about it, but before the subordinate came to office, he met a soldier on the road, and when he first took office, he couldn't see blood, otherwise his career would be hindered. ”

"Therefore, the lower officials asked the people of the government to look at the thin face of the lower officials and spare these people."

Lin Yanchao is so low, just ask Su Yan to see his own face and let these people go once.

This is understandable to others. Most of the officials believe in ghosts and gods, and the more these officials are from Jinshi, the more they believe it.

It is absolutely natural to come out and plead with Su Yan for the sake of his career, and there is nothing offensive about it.

Su Yan couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "I heard that the champion is a Wenqu star, how can he believe these nonsense." Zi is silent, how can I, as an official of the imperial court, take these things to heart, and it is not a joke to spread them. ”

The other officials all thought, you don't believe it, but others do.

Lin Yanchao said: "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, Xia Guan is a Fujian person, and he has always believed in this, which made Futai smile." ”

Everyone was stunned, it turned out that Sima was from Fujian and Guangdong, and the people here believed in these things the most, no wonder so.

Su Yan nodded when he heard this: "Sima asked for such an invitation, this government should not have refused." However, as a parent official ordered by the imperial court, this government has to give an account to the 300,000 people of Guide Mansion. ”

"If this government lets these people go now, if there are any more hungry people in the future. If there is such a thing as smashing the porridge shop, how do you want the government to explain to the above? Who is responsible? ”

When others heard this, they all felt that Su Yan was too unkind. Lin Yanchao has said everything about this, as a fellow governor of the same government, he is also your second official, and he pleaded with you, but you didn't give anyone face at all.

How can you let him have prestige in front of government officials in the future?

The two general judges on the side all showed expressions of 'I knew this was the case', otherwise how could they say that Su Yan was an official who was 'extremely difficult to get along with'.

Lin Yanchao is a dignified Hanlin, but he is really unlucky, how can he be assigned to Su Yan as an official, when he encounters such a Zhengyin official, where is there still your share in speaking.

Seeing that Lin Yanchao didn't speak, Su Yan sneered and wanted to leave.

But at this time, he heard a neighing of the horse, and it turned out that Lin Yanchao grabbed the reins.

Su Yan wanted to ride a horse, but the horse couldn't.

Su Yan was shocked and angry, he didn't expect Lin Yanchao, such a powerless scholar, to have such strength to strangle his horse.

At this time, Lin Yanchao's face was full of resignation: "Since the government wants to be a subordinate official to be this responsibility, then the subordinate official should be this responsibility!" ”

Lin Yanchao's words were so loud that almost everyone present was shocked.

Wu Tongju showed an impressive look at Lin Yanchao, no wonder this person dared to risk death to admonish him, he was really a little bold, but those who are officials in the officialdom have always pushed when they encounter trouble, and you are really not afraid that the people will make trouble again in the future.

Zhou Tong said in his heart, this Lin Sanyuan really has a great background, otherwise he would not dare to talk to Futai like this. It seems that the house will not be calm in the future.

The two general judges were happy in their hearts that Lin Yanchao dared to come forward.

Su Yan was stunned when he heard this, and anger passed over his face, he came for the official of the first government, and no one had disobeyed his will for a long time.

But at this moment, Su Yan doesn't want others to see jokes, as soon as the second-in-command takes office, he disagrees with himself, how will it be passed on in the officialdom? This is intolerable for him, who has an excellent face.

Su Yan nodded, and said to the left and right: "Sima is a person who dares to do things, if you can follow Sima in the future, everything has to be worried about by the government." You need to ask Sima more for advice, understand? ”

All the officials said yes.

So Su Yan ordered: "Even if this is the case, these Diao people will be put in chains for three days." ”

After saying that, Su Yan got on the horse and left, and Lin Yanchao said respectfully on the side: "Congratulations to the Futai." ”

praised on the side, but also breathed a sigh of relief, and said loudly: "Lord Futai is back home!" ”

The officers and soldiers of the government on the side also closed the team and ran away with Su Yan.

Lin Yanchao wiped the sweat on his forehead, and unconsciously the vest was also soaked, and he couldn't help but think that he had offended Su Yan this time, and I am afraid that his life in the government office will not be easy in the future.

was suffering from gains and losses, and suddenly there was a sound of kneeling.

"The grass people thank the master of the second mansion, the grace of life!"

Lin Yanchao turned around, but saw that on the edge of the river beach, hundreds of ordinary people knelt in the dark.
