。 "Two months?" Old Man Li was stunned and said, "Then in the past two months, who is in charge of Fuyang County?" ”

"Of course, it's the lower officials who are in charge of government affairs." Jiang Xiancheng said with a smile: "Old man, please come inside, what kind of system is it to speak outside." ”

Old man Li followed Jiang Xiancheng into the yahall, sat down in the right seat, and after the messenger served tea, Fang said slowly: "The second master is better in charge of things, my unscrupulous business, the second master knows the way, right?" ”

"I was about to send someone to inform the old man," Jiang Xiancheng said softly: "Last night, the inspection department found some ...... of illicit salt from Li Yuanwai's boat."

"There's no way he's selling smuggled salt!" Old Man Li pounded the floor tiles with a crutch and said, "What kind of family is our Li family?" How can you do that kind of indiscriminate thing? ”

"The lower officials don't believe it either." Jiang Xiancheng nodded and smiled: "So let the cell boss give preferential treatment to the outside, and when the magistrate comes back, I will also intercede for the outside." ”

Jiang Xiancheng said enthusiastically, but Old Man Li didn't like it and said angrily: "Why bother so much, the second master will end it if he orders to release people." ”

"I'm sorry for the old feudal monarch, this official doesn't have this power," Jiang Xiancheng spread his hands and said: "According to the regulations of the imperial court, the boss is temporarily away for no more than three months, and the agent cannot be sentenced to prison without permission." The eldest master will turn around in two months, so the lower officials have no right to release people. ”

"Don't tell me about these vain heads! If you want to release someone, there must be a way! Old man Li was like an angry old lion, roaring at Jiang Xiancheng: "The old man will ask you a word, let it go or not!" ”

Jiang Xiancheng was sprayed with foaming stars, but fortunately, he still had some self-cultivation on his face. Under the forced gaze of Old Man Li, he sighed lightly and said, "Old Fengjun, are you going to fight with the eldest master?" ”

"Uh......" Old Man Li was suffocated when he heard this, and sighed for a while: "Toss Fuyang to a pulp, he Wei Yuan can change places to be an official, and we have to clean up the mess." ”

Jiang Xiancheng sneered in his heart when he heard this, it was all this time, and he didn't forget to put gold on his face. With a smile on his face, he said: "The old man really understands the righteousness, and the lower officials will also help persuade the old man, our official gentry will give up the past suspicions and value peace!" Fuyang is also peaceful. ”

"That's right." Old Man Li bowed his head and said, "Can I come out now?" ”

"Alas, old Fengjun, you have to let the eldest master dissipate his anger first...... Jiang Xiancheng lowered his voice and said: "To be honest, the generation outside the staff is not as good as the old men. They are so immoral in what they do. It is also reasonable for the eldest master to rectify them. ”

"What did they do?" Old Man Li began to pretend to be stupid.

"The old man still doesn't know what to do?" Jiang Xiancheng told him the matter of the big households buying the Salt Transportation Division in order to create a situation of food shortage in Fuyang, and detaining the life-saving grain of the people of Fuyang in Hushu Pass.

Old man Li said first, "This matter sounds quite ridiculous. After a pause, he said: "If it's true, then Yang Jian's crime deserves death!" After another pause, he added, "But my son is definitely not involved." ”

"I also believe that this is the case, but it is difficult for Li Yuanwai to prove that he is transporting grain out of the country late at night." Jiang Xiancheng sighed.

"This is also the second thing that the old man has come here," said Mr. Li, "It is understandable that the counties were short of grain before, and it was forbidden to transport grain. But now that there is no shortage of grain in this county, we should have the right to dispose of our own grain. ”

"That makes sense," Jiang Xiancheng nodded: "The lower officials will write to the eldest master, please ask for instructions, and see if the ban is lifted." ”

"You ......" Old Man Li saw him playing Tai Chi again, and said angrily: "You don't need to ask for everything!" ”

"It's a big deal." Jiang Xiancheng said, "Don't bother the old man to run to the yamen, as soon as there is news, the lower officials will let people report the news." ”

No matter how old man Li was furious, Jiang Xiancheng was polite, respectful, and stood still under the storm. It wasn't until the old man was physically exhausted and couldn't speak that he helped the old man out of the yahall and sent him to the sedan chair.

Seeing that the sedan chair finally left the county office, Jiang Xiancheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. Wei Zhixian went out to hide Qingjing, but let him deal with these old immortals, it was too torturous.

However, Jiang County is willing to do it, because the overall situation has been decided, and Wei Zhixian will become the big winner of this disaster relief. Although he has no great merit, he is also conscientious and has no mistakes......

The old men touched a soft nail here in Jiang County, but they couldn't find Wei Zhixian, so in a fit of anger, they went to Hangzhou to complain. Unexpectedly, what greeted them was a meal of guns and sticks from the Yu Governor's Mansion. These old men are really old and confused, and they don't want to think about who Wei Zhixian is feeding the victims for. It is precisely because Fuyang County has played an exemplary and leading role that the rest of the counties have not done too much, so that the Yu Governor can make every effort to build the sea pond and not be anxious about disaster relief. How grateful Governor Yu is to Wei Zhixian is how disgusted he is with these big families who oppose him. Wei Zhixian didn't dare to say some words, but Yu Zhifu, the prefect of the fourth grade, had no scruples.

He said to these old men: "You are deeply favored by the country, and you do not want to repay the service, but hoard Juqi in the year of the great disaster, intending to take the opportunity to plunder the people's land. In order to create a situation of food shortage, you and others actually bought the Salt Transportation Division, detained the grain bought by the government in Hushu Pass, and forced the county officials to sign an alliance under the city! How is this kind of behavior different from a national thief? ”

"This is slander, slander!" Naturally, the old men refused to admit it: "We are just from a well-off family, and when we see that famine is coming, we sell our property and buy some food, first, to feed our people, and second, to help the people." How can it be said that it is a hoarder? As for the matter of buying the salt transportation division, it is even more nonsense, we have never been out of Hangzhou in our lives, who knows the people in Suzhou, the grandfather said that we colluded, please come up with evidence, otherwise we will go to the Yamen of the clan to reason! ”

"You don't need to go to the Yamen of the Domain, let's just go to Jingshi!" The tone of the prefect Yu was extremely stern: "Today, His Majesty Yongle loves the people like a son, and is jealous of evil like hatred, if he knows about this matter, he will definitely send Jinyi Wei to strictly investigate, and when the time comes, it will be clear!" ’

"......" The old men lost their arrogance, yes, the prefect of the fourth grade of the family already has the right to play directly, if he really provokes him and stabs him to the court, it will be a big trouble. The old men had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Now that Fuyang has Huguang grain, the grain in our hands will be redundant, but the county is not allowed to transport it to the counties, isn't this a death and not a rescue?" ”

"At the beginning, when other counties were not allowed to sell grain to Fuyang, the government did not speak." Governor Yu said lightly: "Now Fuyang County is not allowed to sell grain to other counties, and this government naturally has nothing to say." After a pause, he said: "What's more, the provincial committee members have gone to Huguang to buy grain, and the pressure on the counties is much less, and they can always help ......."

The old men of the "......" were completely speechless, they finally tasted the taste of the protection of the officials, and came out of the prefect's yamen in despair, and they didn't even have the courage to go to the fantai yamen to complain again, because it was very likely that they would bring humiliation on themselves.

On the boat back to Fuyang, the old men were very depressed, they finally understood that they had lost all their hearts, the defeat was decided, and there was no possibility of turning the tables......

"Why don't my brother write to Senator Li and Li Sicheng and ask them to think of a way?" Old Man Wang whispered.

"Why didn't you write to your son?" Old Man Li glared at him.

"My son is too young to speak." Old Man Wang said carelessly.

"My son naturally has no problem dealing with Wei Yuan," Old Man Li didn't fall down, and said in a muffled voice: "But you didn't listen to Governor Yu, he will sue the emperor if he makes a big fuss, how will it end up then?" ”

"yes, yes." The old men chimed in: "Aren't you just worried about this? ”

"Reconciliation, then?" Old Man Yu said in a sullen voice.

"Well, reconciliation." The old men were happy with the word, they would have liked to say 'surrender'.

"But Wei Zhixian went to Huguang, how can he reconcile if he can't find him?" Old Man Yang said.

"You don't have to see him to reconcile." Old Man Yu said: "It is the same to make Wang Xian nod." ”

"Not bad." Old Man Li deeply agreed: "We just ignored this kid too much and didn't pull him to our side, which led to today's situation." ”

"Yes, he was originally a native of Fuyang, and he should deal with the county order with us." Old Man Wang said: "But let him wholeheartedly help Wei Zhixian against us, it really shouldn't be." ”

"Why would he do this?" Old Man Yu said strangely: "We haven't offended him." ”

"We have not offended, but our grandson has offended." Old man Wang said: "At the beginning of the year, I heard that Wang Xian won the Shangyuan Poetry Club, and I felt very strange. I remember that my unsuccessful grandson was also in West Lake that night, so I asked him what the situation was at that time, and who knew that the kid was hesitant and flickering. Under my questioning, he told the truth, it turned out that they were a group of classmates, and they had done Wang Xian that night! ”

Then, he roughly told everyone about the situation that night, and the old men were furious when they heard this: "Diao Yue'e, this slut! Lead the little brutes not to learn well, it's damned! ”

Putting all the responsibility on poor Miss Diao, the old men were in a much better mood, and Old Man Li said: "The bell must be tied to the bell." Since it was the little rabbit cubs who caused the trouble, let them apologize to Wang Dianshi and make Wang Dianshi angry! ”

"This is not appropriate, how can it be a show of talent...... old man Yang whispered.

"Their fathers have been locked up, and they can still take care of so much as a son?" The grandson of the old man Yu has already gone to Shandong, so he spoke particularly powerfully: "The ancients had to cut shares to save their fathers, and they didn't want them to cut shares, didn't they even want to let go of their face!" ”

"Yes." The old men felt justified and decided on this matter.

In the school of Fuyang County, the talented men gave a cold ...... together.
