Chapter 49: Reversal
Li Yuan's approach is nothing more than inciting the people and disturbing their audio-visual. γ&nγIt's very simple to achieve this goal, just buy a few people and let them spread a few rumors in the crowd, and it is enough!
After hearing that Fengping had no food, the people of Shen County are now very fragile, like a duckweed, without the slightest sense of security!
In this case, if Xiao Mo does anything to stimulate them, or if people can pick things that stimulate these people, then the situation will be difficult to control after all.
This is also the reason why Xiao Mo went to the shopkeeper Su for trouble as soon as he ascended to the court, but Li Yuan saw through it.
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, Xiao Mo said to Shopkeeper Su: "Be the master for you?" It's easy to say, but you have to eat this board first, the first time the official was promoted, you broke the rules, and it was twice, I just gave you a lesson, you forgot when you got up, and now you can't complain about me! β
After Xiao Mo said that, he shouted at the officials: "Come on, give me a heavy beating!" β
"Yes!" Seeing that Xiao Mo's face was not good, he didn't dare to slack off, so he pressed the shopkeeper Su to the ground again, and this time the shopkeeper Su couldn't break free.
Xiao Mo shook his head, and secretly said that this shopkeeper Su is really a stupid hat, if he knelt down just now and apologized, plus Li Yuan was next to him, I had no reason to start, who knew that he cooperated, and actually broke free from the servants, and was still standing in front of me!
Thinking of this, Xiao Mo couldn't help but glance at Li Yuan. Looked at by Xiao Mo's mocking gaze, the flesh on Li Yuan's face twitched again, and it was obvious that he was also very disappointed in Shopkeeper Su.
Is this guy lacking in heart? Broke free from the servants, and still don't know how to kneel?
Now Li Ji knows that this lawsuit can't be counted on, with a pig-headed pig-headed person like Shopkeeper Su, how can he be Xiao Mo's opponent? Unless it's your own battle, it's pretty much the same, but ...... He is also a rough person, he has no fame, and he still relies on his nephew who is by the prince's side to call for wind and rain in Shen County, if he goes to the court, if Xiao Mo lets himself kneel, will he kneel or not?
Li Yuan's face was expressionless, but he saw the shopkeeper Su crawling on the ground and screaming, the board was strong, and as soon as the board went down, there was a muffled sound, after the twenty boards were finished, the shopkeeper Su's butt was beaten, and Li Yuan turned his head and secretly touched his buttocks, which dispelled the idea of going out in person.
After finishing the board, Xiao Mo was shocked and asked the shopkeeper Su, "Who is in the hall to redress grievances?" "According to the usual practice, the county order will ask this question when it is promoted!
Just like the police in later generations looking for you to question, you obviously see you standing there as a big man, and you have to ask: "...... gender" At this time, you can only be speechless.
Shopkeeper Su was old, and after beating the board, he fainted, crawled on the ground and didn't speak, or the official found out, and then reported to Xiao Mo, Xiao Mo frowned when he heard this: "Oh, I was angry just now, just thinking that Shopkeeper Su was disrespectful to me, and I forgot that he was old and couldn't eat this board, so what can I do now?" β
After a pause, Xiao Mo said to himself again: "It seems that I can only leave the court first, and then try this case when Shopkeeper Su wakes up!" β
Xiao Mo said that, Li Yuan really shouted: "My lord, I can't help it, this case is going on today, and Wang Ergou will be punished, I'm afraid that tomorrow all the grain shops of our people will be demolished!" β
"Oh?" Xiao Mo looked at Li Yuan and asked, "What does Li Yuanwai mean by this?" β
"My lord......" Li Yuan may be anxious, indeed, if Xiao Mo does not punish Wang Ergou today, with this example, I am afraid that those Diao people, who have no food at home and are forced by life, will also tear down the shops of these squires like Wang Ergou.
"Come forward and speak!" Xiao Mo saw that Li Yuan wanted to speak and stopped, so he ordered.
Li Yuanke knows much more about the rules than Shopkeeper Su, Xiao Mo spoke, he stepped forward, came to the hall, and made a gesture to Xiao Mo: "Lord Xiao Mingjian, once there is a precedent for everything, there will be endless troubles, if you don't severely punish Wang Ergou today, I am afraid that Lord Xiao's prestige will also be damaged!" β
"Prestige? Does this official have it? Xiao Mo asked Li Yuan with a smile.
Li Yuan was speechless by his question, knowing that Xiao Mo was taking this opportunity to deliberately embarrass himself, but he really couldn't let Xiao Mo retreat today, otherwise, his side would be a little passive.
Because in the morning, after the shopkeeper Su was smashed open by Wang Ergou, the people all saw the food in the shop, and now Xiao Mo retreated like this, and after pushing it to the shopkeeper Su, he woke up and tried again, but he was afraid that out of the yamen, those hungry people would surround the grain shop.
In fact, Li Yuan is not afraid of these people, since ancient times, whether it is a high-ranking official or a businessman, how many of them have taken the peasant people in their eyes? What Li Yuan is worried about is Xiao Mo!
Judging from Xiao Mo's performance today, Li Yuan has realized how powerful Xiao Mo is.
Originally, today's case was that Li Yuan and the squires came up with a way to give General Xiao Mo after summing up, Wang Ergou and Su Shopkeeper were just two flags that served as pioneers, and the people were Li Yuan's 'handsome', which was used to suppress Xiao Mo, but he didn't expect Xiao Mo to play cards completely according to the routine, and the chess pieces on his side had just been placed, but Xiao Mo directly ignored the two chess pieces of Su Shopkeeper and Wang Ergou, and then directly killed his own camp and snatched the 'handsome'.
Originally, I thought that I could encourage these people to become knives in their own hands to force Xiao Mo to comply, but I didn't expect that this knife would become a sword hanging over the heads of these squires before it was formed.
The people didn't dare to riot, at least not in Shen County, after all, there were more than 100 people in the City Supervision Department there, plus the Yamen's arrest, it could be regarded as an armed force, so Li Yuan was worried about Xiao Mo, he was afraid, Xiao Mo took the initiative to encourage these people to come to his own hands to grab food, in that case, I was afraid that the people on my side would be finished.
Not to mention that after making such a big fuss, can these squires survive in the hands of hungry and thirsty people, even Xiao Mo's side will definitely not let go of these squires of himself, and he will definitely find a way to kill them.
Besides, even if Xiao Mo doesn't kill his mouth, he is afraid that these people are almost from death, in order to hoard food, the squires can be said to have gone bankrupt to buy food everywhere in recent years, others don't know, Li Yuan knows, the squires of the entire Shen County, the grain in their hands, add up to more than 100,000 stones, although some have been sold this year, but more than 70,000 stone of grain, these squires still have!
More than 70,000 stone of grain, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, in Shen County, a small county town that was not very rich in the first place, it can be said to be an astronomical amount!
Looking at Li Yuan, who had been silent for a long time, Xiao Mo's heart was relieved.
Obviously, Li Ji has already told Xiao Mo that Xiao Mo has indeed guessed correctly, in fact, if there is a food shortage in Shen County, the most dangerous person is not Xiao Mo, nor Li Ji, but these squires who hold tens of thousands of stones of grain in their hands!
Xiao Mo can now finally sit peacefully on the Xiya High Hall, relax and retreat with Erlang, and then wait for this Li Yuan's reply.
In other words, the situation was reversed by Xiao Mo!
