It was a very difficult decision.

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it is not right that Chen Gong betrayed Cao Cao because of Cao Cao's killing of Lu Bohao.

In real history, as an official N generation, Cao Cao and his subordinates of the scholar clan were actually happy, and Chen Gong and Zhang Miao were all old friends who cooperated happily with him, but once he killed Bian Rang, everything changed.

Bian Rang is a celebrity, that is, the "elite" big V general figure of later generations, his death is not highly concerned in history, the reason is naturally very simple, the cause of death is unknown, but one thing is certain, this Bian Rang is a person who is very good at disguising himself.

has a good reputation, of course, it is not that the people say that he has a good reputation, but that the bureaucrats say that he is good, and the historical context is like this: In 191 AD, this person saw that the world was in chaos, so he abandoned the court that paid him a salary, patted his ass and went home, well, that is, Chen Liu, just under Cao Cao's nose.

It is conceivable that Bian Rang is not only irresponsible, but also good at saying beautiful things to embarrass people, and the most important thing is that even if he says something wrong, no one will be held accountable.

This can be seen by looking at the meager miasma of black smoke.

After killing Bian Rang, the other celebrities felt uneasy, in the dimness, they only needed to rely on the status of the scholar clan to sit back and enjoy the end of the days, for the eloquent Cao Cao, it will only take advantage, and the scholar clan who has no fart at the critical moment is naturally in the abandonment of the target.

But these scholars are still very keen, and they found that Cao Cao, who was originally from a similar background to them and became the head of public security in the capital as soon as he debuted, actually had no sympathy for his kind, so Chen Gong's rebellion was very normal.

This is very common in later generations, whether it is Huang Jinrong or Du Yuesheng, because they occasionally gave some literati some money they earned from selling opium to open casinos, kidnapping and opening brothels, almost just to beg for food, they were touted by countless literati as good people who fought for righteousness and squandered money.

The reason is actually quite simple.

For literati, it is such a tearful thing to preach that a rich boss is righteous and squandering money, and how much money is given to a traitor literati one day.

Naturally, they hope that to promote this culture, there will be more money for them to spend.

If Li Xiangqian really released Cao Juren, then he must be able to get the praise of Cao Juren and his kind, which is nothing more than nothing more than nothing to do with Minqiu, the people are obedient, and preach the "benevolence and righteousness" of the imperial capital, and it is even possible to vote directly.

But is that really good?

For the imperial capital, do you really need such a good reputation?

Li Xiangqian suddenly patted the person next to him and said, "Tell these people what I told you, the story of Xiao Liuzi." ”

Ke Xiaonan nodded and said: "Xiao Liuzi is the son of a county official, after the county official arrived in a county, he hit the local Haoqiang in a case, so in order to retaliate, Haoqiang deliberately colluded with the boss when Xiao Liuzi went out to eat noodles, and framed Xiao Liuzi for eating two bowls of noodles, but only gave money for one bowl of noodles. ”

"Xiao Liuzi was forced to ask, but everyone was a gentleman, and they all said that Xiao Liuzi ate two bowls of noodles, so he was angry and used a knife to cut open his stomach, proving that he only ate one bowl of noodles and did not eat two bowls of noodles."

"But after Xiao Liuzi died, no one cared, no one cared how many bowls of noodles he ate, they just wanted to rely on framing Xiao Liuzi and ruining the reputation of the county order."

"This is the story of Xiao Liuzi."

Ke Xiaonan said seriously: "This story tells us that it is inevitable and necessary for the enemy to fabricate lies and slander us, and we must not deal with this blindly, but should take the initiative to attack, and cannot confront the enemy on the rumors they are best at." ”

Yan Yingyuan shuddered suddenly, although he didn't understand, but he still felt uncomfortable for Li Xiangqian to teach this kind of thing to the people around him, in fact, Yan Yingyuan was a man behind the pot, but he was also a very innocent man who was behind the pot, and the officials in the household were the people behind the scenes, although Yan Yingyuan governed the place and cracked down on lawbreakers very strongly, but if he stretched out his hand to these gentlemen, he was afraid that he would not be able to find a helper.

It's still that problem, the provincial governor Yamen No. 1 leader has arrived in the county, and after shouting the wronged aunt, he will inevitably be retaliated against, you can't let the governor stay in the county every day.

Li Xiangqian said: "Okay, your county is so obsessed, I have to ask someone to administer justice." ”

Yan Yingyuan had no choice but to say: "Don't be like this, even if the lower official is scolded by the county order, he is willing to help you open the city gate and enter the city, but if you use the sword soldiers, you can ......."

Li Xiangqian glanced at him and said, "You would rather be afraid of Madam Xing than think that we are reasonable people." ”

Yan Yingyuan immediately said: "Xiaguan heard about the situation in his hometown, and he knows that Beizhili is very prosperous under the governance of you, so naturally he will not misunderstand, but the people are ......."

"I understand you, it's not easy for people who do things now."

This time, Yan Yingyuan didn't delay much, and immediately went to the city to call the door, although it took a little time, but after all, he shouted to open the door.

used the people of the Cao family as a shield and entered the city proudly, although it was a lot of disturbance, but it should have been so.

My man is dead, and if he is evaded lightly, that's the big problem.

Jiangyin as a large county by the river, the place is not small, it should be expanded, in fact, Jiangyin was expanded when Hu Zongxian resisted the Japanese, and even there was a small fort by the river, but it was in disrepair, and at the same time, I didn't expect Li Xiangqian to come from the south first.

The most important thing is that after understanding something, they all think that this is the problem of the people of the Cao family, why should they grudge against the people of the Cao family? Figure what?

Although the people in the household have been clamoring around Lin Zhiji, Lin County Ling is unmoved, benefiting the party for the first term of office, but as a person who has lost the imperial examination and does not even have a future, he doesn't know what to do.

But there is a bottom line that he still recognizes, at least he can't let the people of the city cause disaster.

If it's a foreign thief, it's better to take a look, but everyone knows that Mrs. Xing is now receiving Beijing's military salary, so why should the people of the whole city suffer with you for such an unwarranted disaster?

At least Li Xiangqian was still very kind when he arrived at the gate of the county government, and he found that the handshake ceremony still made some sense, and through the handshake ceremony, he could actually grasp the other party's mood and bottom line.

At least Lin Zhiji doesn't like himself very much on the face, but he doesn't want to make a big deal out of it.

"I don't know what to call and what position he holds in the imperial capital."

"The surname is Li, Li Xiangqian, as for the official position, there is nothing to say, it is nothing more than an ordinary public servant of the people, but you, after I entered the city, I felt that although there were major events in the city, I was not panicked, and there were no homeless people or green skins in the city, and the adults were still well governed."

"Where, it's all ......"

Lin Zhiji suddenly thought that the emperor was gone, and it seemed that he had no one to brag about.

"So, let's start, it's been a month since my people died, and if I don't help them avenge them as soon as possible, I'm not happy to do anything."

The lobby was in a panic for a while, Li Xiangqian stood in the middle, next to the people of the Cao family, who were tied there, and the students pushed him hard before to make him kneel.

Lin Zhiji wanted to arrange a seat for Li Xiangqian, but he refused: "No need, I've been sitting for a day, so it's more comfortable to stand." ”

"Ahem, cough, next, on behalf of the bitter lord, I formally sue the unscrupulous gentleman Cao Changqing, on the third day of the first month of last month, together with his brother, the household scrivener Peng Wenzheng, bewitched the mob and killed 11 members of my propaganda team, the evidence is conclusive, I don't know how your county sees it."

Lin Zhiji sighed and said: "In this matter, I have to ask the county scrivener, well, who knows where Scrivener Peng went." ”

Just now, Peng Wenzheng was both soft and hard in front of him, from giving money to blackmailing, and as soon as he made a move, it was thousands of taels of silver.

Grandma's, he has studied poetry and books all his life, and he has been admitted to the Jinshi, how much can he earn in one term as a county magistrate?

It has to be this kind of guy who has controlled the local fat shortage for generations, and he can really make money.

As a rogue official, Lin Zhiji was also helpless, he couldn't go to a place, so he killed all the officials in the place.

As a highly professional, and transmission is basically a black box operation of the position, it is naturally controlled by people for generations, as in ancient times, only paper materials are managed, and at the same time, transportation is inconvenient, therefore, the history is already the lowest position that the government can deploy.

"Quickly let Peng Wenzheng come here for questioning."

Li pointed forward, "You go to two people, if you are arrested, shoot directly." ”

Lin Zhiji immediately said: "Don't do this...... No matter what, you have to arrest Peng Wenzheng and beat him to death. ”

Lin Zhiji is also really anxious, who is not in a hurry to get to such a thing.

Cao Changqing struggled at this time, and at the same time whined at Lin Zhiji's eyes.

Lin Zhiji chose to ignore it, in his opinion, it was best for those who caused trouble for themselves to die.

He has served more than half of his term here, and now there is nothing he can do, if there is still the imperial capital court, there will still be a chance to transfer the central government, but now, the officials of the entire Jiangnan are also very confused, the company they work for is bankrupt, and now they go to work every day, although they can still receive a salary, but no one knows how the people who bought the company will deal with them.

Li Xiangqian was very satisfied, he took a lot of information, and said: "These are the materials we have collected, please ask the county magistrate to take people according to the list, the people of the Cao family are basically stewed by me, but the people of the Peng family are still there, and among the clansmen of the Cao family, there are more than a dozen people who are the backbone, and they basically have to be arrested, so they will bother the adults to take action." ”

Lin Zhiji was a little entangled and sighed: "But the people are stubborn, I'm afraid it's difficult." ”

Li Xiangqian said: "With Lord Lin's ability, if you can't manage the small people under your rule, I have some doubts about your ability to govern, this ......"

Lin Zhiji immediately waved the startling wood in his hand and shouted: "Come on, go quickly, arrest these people, and listen to the orders of the adults who came from the imperial capital." ”

Li Xiangqian sent people again, in the fast class and the recruited team of village warriors, to capture those on the list.

Li Xiangqian knew that this was a little embarrassing, and said: "Lord Lin is really doing things well, this matter is in the imperial capital, and it is only going through the judicial process, if it can be resolved in the court, it is the best, once the justice cannot be resolved, you shield the murderer of our people, then let the army dispatch, but it is really not good, your choice is the best." ”

Lin Zhiji was helpless for a while, in a troubled world, this is how it feels.

Lin Zhiji said: "This elder, it's better to talk in the back hall, and I can also do the friendship of the landlord." ”

Li Xiangqian shook his head and said, "Let's try the case and let Cao Changqing go." ”

Naturally, someone made a move to untie the strip of cloth in Cao Changqing's mouth, who was kneeling there.

"I ......" Cao Changqing actually hadn't eaten for a long time, and he didn't drink a mouthful of hot porridge before, but now he couldn't speak.

After barely being able to speak, Cao Changqing shouted: "I was wronged, it was not the old man who killed people, the county magistrate was the master of me." ”

Li Xiangqian said: "Killing people is punishing, and only those who give orders deserve to die." ”

Cao Changqing didn't dare to look at Li Xiangqian, but kept talking to Lin Zhiji: "My lord, my lord also acquiesced to ...... at the beginning."

Lin Zhiji hurriedly cleared his mouth and said, "Shut up, how can I say anything!" ”

Li Xiangqian glanced at this person deeply, and knew each other that this Lin Zhiji was not an accomplice, and a crime of sitting and watching was indispensable, but he still had to settle accounts after the autumn.

Cao Changqing said: "Those demons are everywhere in this county to bewitch the public, bewitching the mob, students, I am obedient and rebellious, peaceful world, besides, their origin is unknown, it is the work of the people of the enemy country, I will kill them, my lord, if even I have to ask the guilt, then who will dare to protect the great tomorrow in the future!" ”

Although Lin Zhiji's face has not changed, he is also Qi Ran in his heart, indeed, in the opinion of other doctors, those propaganda teams are basically similar to eating and drinking King Chuang, and King Chuang is not paying for food.

Li Zicheng's habitual practice was to send out a small workforce to preach the words of free money and food, and then the instigated rebels would open the city gates, and the general wealth would be plundered, and not one out of ten would be saved.

And these people, with great fanfare, for fear that people will not know, are simply crazy people who advertise what exemption from agricultural taxes is.

Anyway, with Lin Zhiji's thoughts, he would never like this kind of policy, these Confucian scholars are all anti-businessmen, in fact, who is not looking for someone to open a shop outside?

Therefore, those propaganda teams that died tragically are not unjustly dead.

In a system where commercial interests are concentrated in a small number of people and completely dependent on the bureaucracy, it is preached that the vast majority of the state's tax revenue should be placed on commercial taxes......

That's a real death.

Cao Changqing is also very simple, kill me, won't you just let these people run rampant in the future.

Li Xiangqian mended the knife on the side and said: "Interesting, Lin County Order, tell me if you think Jiangnan and the emperor are in a state of war, if you think it is a state of war, I will immediately turn around and leave." ”
