Volume 1 Fuchun Mountain Residence Chapter 55 The easy water cold of counterattack
"I don't know what people are going to do?" The three of them said tightly.
"I'm planning something...... Wei Zhixian said in a deep voice.
"What's the matter?" The three asked.
"This is ......" Wei Zhixian looked at the three of them, and the three of them also looked at him with bated breath, until they blushed, and then saw him grinning: "Secret!" β
The three ......of them were stunned, but they saw Wei Zhixian laughing, flicking the sleeves of his wide robe, and his long hair fluttering away, leaving only a string of generous songs:
"The wind is sluggish - easy to be cold, and the strong man goes to Xi - not returned;
Explore the tiger's den - enter the Jiao Palace, look up to the sky and exhale - become a white rainbow! β
By the lotus pond, the three Zuo Ermen looked at each other.
"Okay, first Nie Zheng and then Jing Ke...... Is this a desperate fight with the squire? "Marginal characters have the benefits of marginal characters, and Ma Dianshi talks coolly, and there is no pressure.
"Nonsense!" Diao Shu didn't have this ease, and shook his sleeves and said hatefully: "If you don't repent of death, you have to kill your family!" β
"It's not that serious...... Jiang Xiancheng also said with some heads: "Inquire first, what is he going to do?" β
"Hmm." Diao Shu nodded. Wei Zhixian has a long-term entourage by his side, in fact, he installed it, and now he has entered the signing room, although he is only serving tea and water, but it is no problem to find out some news.
When he turned around, he asked the chief to inform him and pay close attention to Wei Zhixian's words and deeds. In the next few days, there was a steady stream of feedback......
First of all, I heard that Wei Zhi County ordered the household registration room, and sent all the household registration files since Yongle to the signing room. I also heard that the people in Weizhi County were looking for a workshop, and ordered them to hurry up to carve ten stone tablets. I also heard that he wrote a recital, but was stopped by Sima begging to die. For this reason, the two also broke out into an argument.
The chief was outside, and clearly heard Sima Qiu say loudly: "The owner can't be like this, once he is released from prison, how many heads will fall to the ground?" O iniquity! β
It's just that Emperor Yongle is too merciful, and those people will be unscrupulous! Emperor Taizu has only been in the sky for more than ten years, and the states and counties of the Ming Dynasty have already corrupted Ruosi! I heard Wei Zhixian indignantly said: "Meng Yuan's Yin Jian is not far away, if such officials and gentry collude and collude up and down, my Ming country will be hollowed out by moths!" Saying that, he slapped the case again: "I have to do Guo Huan's case again!" Let those guys who embezzle national taxes fall to the ground, and I have hope for the Ming Dynasty! β
'Dong Weng, if you do this, will you still have a foothold in the future?' Sima Qiu said in amazement.
Wei was deeply favored by the emperor, sacrificed his life for the country, and died a well-deserved death! Wei Zhixian said categorically: "Sir, I don't need to persuade again, I have made up my mind, and I will definitely reduce the truth of Fuyang County's population and taxes, and the truth will be under the day!" β
'The ...... of the owner' Sima Qiu said sadly: "That old man can only resign......
'Even if everyone leaves, I won't waver!' Then he listened to Wei Zhixian's voice.
"Is that really what Wei Yuan said?" After listening to Diao Shu, he was sweating all over his body.
"Absolutely." His personal entourage said: "If the fifth child doesn't hear it, can he still fabricate it?" And the county's stonemasons were all locked up in the county government by him, tinkling from morning to night, this will not be fake, right? β
"Didn't the fifth say what they carved?" Diao asked.
"It's the Yellow Book...... said in person, and from his bosom, he took out a few pieces of ink and paper for carving the tablet. This is what he brought out while people were not looking. β
Diao took it and looked at it, and there were a few pages of the Yellow Book of Hongwu in this county. A few others are yellow albums of the Year of Yongle...... When he boarded, he understood what the other party was going to do!
Wei Zhixian actually wanted to carve the yellow book of the Hongwu period and the latest yellow book into a stone tablet and make it public! Let the people of Fuyang see how much more taxes they have paid over the years!
In this way, those grain chiefs who deceive their superiors and subordinates, suck the people's fat and ointment, and their own money and grain book, I am afraid that they will be eaten alive by the angry people without waiting for the court to deal with them!
"This madman!" Diao Shu sat on the back of the chair, his hands and feet were weak, and said: "Crazy, crazy, completely crazy......."
After coming back to his senses for a long time, Diao Shu couldn't sit still anymore and went straight to the county office.
Listening to his story, Jiang Xiancheng was also shocked, "This Wei people's xìng is really strong......
"Oh, my brother, don't talk about it." Diao Shu wiped his sweat and said hurriedly: "He's going to die!" Why do you think we are so unlucky, and we are such a second-pole magistrate? β
"I didn't let you force it." Jiang Xiancheng said quietly: "At the beginning, it was a ruthless move to let the students complain, but when you encounter a child who eats soft and does not eat hard, it should not be used." Otherwise, it's like this, and it's completely him off......"
"It's done, what's the use of saying this?" Diao Shu interrupted impatiently: "You say, what should I do now?" β
"What else can I do? Either bow your head or kill him. Jiang Xiancheng sighed.
"How do you kill him?" Diao asked.
"Knife chopping axe, poison rope, any of them." Jiang Xiancheng's face was expressionless.
"What are you kidding, the magistrate of the county, if he dies inexplicably, Leng Mian Tie Han will definitely find out to the end." Diao Shu shook his head and said, "Try to get him away." β
"It's too late." Jiang Xiancheng shook his head and said, "Before you finish the operation, he would have already erected the stone stele." β
"You ......" Diao Shu understood what Jiang Xiancheng meant, glared at him and said, "If you want me to bow my head, just say it, what kind of circle!" β
"No, you know that there is no other choice?" Jiang Xiancheng smiled bitterly: "Brother Ren'an, you are afraid of being stunned, and you are afraid of dying." You are cross, but he is stunned and desperate. He is still the parent official of the county, and this is the result of fighting with him. β
"What's the use of saying this now?" Diao Shu frowned.
"Of course it worked. It's not too late to make amends. "Jiang Xiancheng is eager to settle things, although he is not deeply involved, but he can't run away if he makes trouble." Who wants to make trouble to this point, isn't it all forced by you? He lost face, you get him back, he wants to charge 20% more tax, you can also discuss, is it nothing more than to make less. As he spoke, he looked at Diao Shu and said, "I didn't say you, Lao Diao." You only have a three-year term in Fuyang, so why do you have to sink so deep? β
"Alas, I want to withdraw now, it's too late." Diao Shu said bitterly: "The yellow book of Yongle Year was made up by me. Do you think I'm still out of it? β
"Let's go through the current level first, and then slowly figure out a way." Jiang Xiancheng also sighed and said, "You go and persuade them not to make trouble." Let's sit down with Wei Zhixian and have a good talk. β
"Alas......" Diao Shu said depressedly: "You can also help talk to the surnamed Wei, don't let him send out the music." β
"Hmm." Jiang Xiancheng nodded and said, "Let's go our separate ways." β
Who knew that both of them hit the nail......
Jiang Xiancheng's side, Wei Zhixian didn't listen to persuasion at all, and the deputy turtle ate the scales - an iron-hearted frame, and he wanted to fight to the end with the households.
On Diao's side, the squires also thought that Wei Zhixian was bluffing, if he bowed to him like this, Fuyang County would not be his world?! They don't believe that there is such a deadly official in the world......
In fact, in the final analysis, even if something happens, it will be the five grain chiefs who are unlucky, and it has nothing to do with some squires. Therefore, they can't feel that kind of personal fear, and naturally they can guarantee the five grain chiefs that with us, everything will be fine! Well, don't worry, it's going to be fine......
The grain chiefs were naturally panicked, but they did not dare to offend the anger of the people, so they could only hold on...... Until they heard the news, the cold face and iron cold Zhou Zhentai were very likely to have made a private visit to this county!
Many people have seen a young man in a green sermon robe, accompanied by two companions, walking up the Fu ChΕ«n River, and walking from house to house in every village and town, looking for grievances, which is completely consistent with the legendary Zhou Zhentai...... The news spread with a nose and eyes, and it is said that Wei Zhixian also got the news and ordered the stonemasons to rush to work at night, preparing to erect those stone tablets before Zhou Zhentai arrived in the county seat!
Diao Shu and several of them have become ants on a hot pot, and it is said that a grain chief knelt in front of Li Sheng's grandfather and begged him to let him live. There was also a grain chief who was so frightened that he committed suicide, but fortunately he was found early and saved his life.
Diao Shu even said ruthlessly, if a few of them went in, they would turn over all the old accounts of the squires who concealed the land, registered their names, ********, and resold the grain in the warehouse, and the family would be finished!
Seeing that the enemy had not yet made a move, the backyard was already on fire, and the squires had to discuss what to do.
After this day, more than a dozen squires with heads and faces gathered at the Li family in Huanshan Township. The two sons of the old man of the Li family are both Jinshi and first, the eldest son served as a political envoy in Sichuan, and the second son was a servant of the court. The glory of the two jinshi, even in a imperial examination province like Zhejiang, is extremely rare, and the squire of this county naturally recommended Old Man Li as the leader.
Mr. Li is over 70 years old, wearing a Dongpo scarf on his head, wearing a chestnut sè bat dark flower robe, and his gestures are full of respect. I saw him twist his beard and said slowly: "Unexpectedly, this old man's temper is really not small......"
"Actually, I'm really not afraid of him making a fuss, the key is that the cold face and iron cold are coming, this person is too terrible. I heard that Jingshi Xiao'er cried at night, and the people shouted, 'The cold face and iron cold are coming', which can frighten Xiao'er to stop immediately. Sitting on his right hand is the old man of the Wang family, because his son is a member of the criminal department, he is the second in command of the county squire, "If something happens at this juncture, I'm afraid it won't end well." β
"But it's all come to this," Old Man Yu, who sat in the third chair, asked on behalf of everyone, "Where will we put our face?" β
"Let him apologize." Old Man Wang said: "Let people pass the word over, as long as he Wei Yuan comes to accompany Brother Li, it is easy to discuss......"
