Chapter 4 The hazy moon prefect returns at night, and the three watches drum up a shocking conspiracy
After the last conversation, this housekeeper and Master Dongguo had a plan, and after the affairs around them were settled, they chatted in the side hall and waited for the prefect to return to the house. Waiting until sunset and dusk, the prefect did not return, so everyone had to have dinner first. After dinner, the lights have been faint, because the old man is not there, there is no major event at home, except for the family on duty to stay on patrol, the rest of the people are busy for a day, gradually sleepy, most of the lights off to sleep. The two were about to go back to the room to rest, but they overheard the report from the family: "The master has just returned to the house, and I invite the two to go to the study to discuss matters", the two of them were busy dressing up, and then rushed to the study.
At that time, the moonlight was hazy, the voices of people gradually quieted, and the two came to the study with a slight coolness, and saw that Lei Zhifu was wearing a purple silk Luo official uniform, with a golden belt of fairy flowers around his waist, a goldfish, a folding fan, and a smile. Steward Zhang hurriedly took a step forward and said: "The adults work hard, and the little ones don't inform them in advance, so I asked the cooks to prepare some wine and dinner, so that the adults can wash the dust and relieve their fatigue." The Lei Yuting had no intention of drinking, so he said: "That's it!" That's it! I have already had dinner at the Wang County Order, so don't spend that much time. As soon as the old man entered the mansion, he had not yet changed his official uniform, so he called the two of them to come and discuss important matters. The arrival of the noble person is a matter of fate and future, everything must be prepared properly, so that you can deal with it, do not make omissions and mistakes, and miss the big thing! ”
Dongguo Liang saw that the prefect Lei was full of spring breeze, and his expression was calm, and he had expected that the prefect would go to the prefecture and county to arrange the affairs of the meeting, which would be smooth sailing and safe, so he brushed the feather fan and took the opportunity to praise him: "The prefect is a great man and a martial arts strategy, and he knows how to make good use of it, and he is afraid of the state and county. ”
Lei Zhifu listened to the flattery, and there was some joy in his heart, but after all, he had been in the world for a long time, and he knew that people's hearts were sinister and officialdom was not easy, so it was better to be careful in everything, so he said with joy: "Having said that, you can't underestimate the enemy." That Liu Tingshi, Wang Xianling and others also know the current affairs, they all listen to my orders and are dispatched by me, the reception and report are carefully prepared, and the various responses are also checked and safe, without the slightest omission. It is not in vain that the old man appreciates and carries him on weekdays. But what I'm worried about is not on the outside but on the inside, and if it hurts, I'm afraid that it will be under this nose, inside Jeju City! So when I returned from the starry night, I discussed countermeasures with the two of you, and I must not give up my efforts and lose carelessly at this time! ”
When Steward Zhang heard the words of Governor Lei, he was puzzled, and wondered in his heart, this Jeju City is his own territory, and he usually acts as a prestige, and he doesn't dare to find faults, so why is he so careful today. He approached and said: "Jeju City is the place of the master's lair, and he has been operating hard for nearly ten years. Who is not convinced? Some people have eaten the gall of the bear's heart and leopard, and they don't dare to spread wild on the prefect's head, and there will be no mistakes, so they only need to send some Ding Yong's servants to announce the settlement door by door, and there are no taboos, and everything will be done!"
That Lei Yu Pavilion can have today, and it is not an ordinary person, who knows the truth that it is not easy to succeed and easy to lose, so he continued: "This Jeju City was originally the old land of the Song Dynasty, and it is difficult for people to attach themselves to it for a long time. The gentry and wealthy families in the city are intertwined and powerful, and they often miss their homeland, and they also have resentment against the Jin people, and they are also quite dissatisfied with me, but they are afraid of the majesty of our soldiers and dare not make a mistake. If you take thousands of households to come and make some trouble, wouldn't it be a big mistake for me? That Chaosan doctor Xin Zan, who has a wide range of contacts and high popularity, is the leader of the local gentry! If I can marry him and use it for my use, then the gentry and wealthy families will look to the wind, and then this Jeju city will be left to me to turn over the clouds and rain, why worry about the big thing? ”
Steward Zhang listened, shocked into a cold sweat, I didn't expect this Xin Zan to have such energy, visiting and making friends was the master's foresight, with a lot of involvement, he had recommended himself, full of promises, but he got nothing, and returned in vain. How can this be explained to the master? On the one hand, he secretly scolded Xin Zan for not knowing how to lift up, and he hurt himself; While looking at the master with blank eyes, waiting for him to solve the siege. I thought that Xin Zan Pifu hurt me shallowly, this revenge will not be avenged, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart, it will not take many days, it will make the blood of the Xin family flow into a river!
Dong Guo Liang saw that Steward Zhang was anxious, and secretly laughed in his heart, knowing that he was poor and short-witted, and he couldn't deal with it, so he wanted to boil him up again, but he was afraid that the prefect would ask, and he missed his face and misunderstood the conspiracy, so he secretly thought how I could save him, and let him know some of my means. So he thought of a plan, shook the feather fan and said: "What the adults plan is a clever plan." But I look at the people who praise them, and they will not be used by adults. He claims to be high-minded, but he secretly forms friends, privately recruits bandits, helps the people, buys people's hearts, and often has the intention of rebellion, and befriends him, for fear of luring wolves into the house and burning himself with his salary! ”
Lei Yuting sighed and said hesitantly: "The old man also knows that Xin Zan often has bad intentions and is not a fellow person, so he has already sent a secret sentry to monitor, but he has found nothing, I am afraid that it will be gossip and slander by others." People say: 'Birds die for food, people die for wealth', gold and silver are soft, rich and prosperous, who doesn't like it? Who can refuse? Therefore, he lured him with wealth, presumably he was not greedy for this glory and wealth. At this time, there is no good plan, this is just an expedient measure for the old man, and after this pass, he will make a detailed plan and make another clever plan."
After hearing this, Steward Zhang took the opportunity to reply: "What the master said is not bad, that Xin Zan has ill intentions, and there must be a sense of rebellion." The old slave went to visit, and said that the old man had good intentions, and he took great pains to talk about how many powerful relationships, but Na Xinzan was unmoved, and folded my face in person, saying that 'the poor and lowly cannot be moved, the mighty cannot be bent, and the rich and noble cannot be lewd', and persuaded the old man to do it himself. It's really a hot face and a cold ass, teasing the old slave is small, this spreads, ruining the reputation of the master, and I am afraid to teach the world to make fun of it! ”
Lei Yuting was furious when he heard this, and he drank categorically: "Hugh is talking nonsense, the old man knows that Xinzan is timid and cautious, and knows the way to protect himself, and he will not say such rebellious and troublesome words!" It must be you who make things difficult according to the situation, anger him, and spoil my great affairs! Before leaving, how can the old man explain to you, remember not to be domineering, don't mess up the number of respects and humility, that Xin praises the five grades of the official residence, and is the leader of the gentry, respects the rules and has a good face, how can you treat it with ordinary people? ”
Steward Zhang was so frightened that he trembled, and said in his mouth: "How dare the villain!" How dare the villain! ”。 Seeing that the prefect was furious, Dong Guo Liang hurriedly stepped forward to relieve the siege and said: "The housekeeper has always been careful and cautious, and he is also loyal to the master. That Xin Zan swallowed his anger, why was he so rampant all of a sudden, it must be in collusion with the same people, there was an extraordinary move, and he was determined to be the enemy of the adult. Last night, I watched the sky and saw that there was a dark air moving south in the direction of Xinfu, and I expected that Xinzan had defected to the Song court. This morning, a hexagram for the adults is like a 58-hexagram mine hexagram, and the hexagram says: 'If this hexagram is not harmonious, there will be no decision in sorrow and sorrow.' The benefactor is unrighteous but resentful, and right and wrong cause turmoil'. It is inferred that there will be kindness and resentment with Nasinzan, but it will lead to evil. However, this hexagram is not a bad omen, and the festival changes the moon, and it is naturally peaceful. Adults should prepare in advance to prevent accidents! ”
Lei Yuting has always believed in ghost and god divination, and he also respects the master's divine calculation, so he does not doubt it, but he is stunned, and says to himself: "The number of days is like this, it is in vain for me to work hard!" That Xin Zan is so bold that he dares to openly oppose me, how can the old man feel at ease? It's just that now, at a critical juncture, if he misses my big thing, what should I do? ”
Steward Zhang saw that the siege had been lifted, and he felt that the master's methods were clever, so he took the opportunity to offer a plan: "That Xin Zan doesn't know how to lift, hides evil intentions, and sooner or later will be the enemy's enemy, it is better to send officers and soldiers to raid the house on the same day, search and arrest him in prison, torture him, and find some excuses casually, and fall him for the big crime of rebellion and rebellion, and then behead all over the house, leaving no trouble!" ”
Dong Guo Liang was thinking about a plan, but he didn't expect this housekeeper to be so vicious in his heart, unscrupulous, secretly thinking about being with this person, it is necessary to keep some eyes on it, to prevent him from being framed in the future. I don't say anything, I guess the housekeeper's plan has not been well thought out, although it is vicious but not thoughtful, the prefect has always done things without leakage, and he refuses to take risks, how can he accept this clumsy remark, and wait for the prefect to ask for a plan, and he can answer calmly.
Sure enough, Lei Yuting frowned, and replied: "That Xin Zan is the Wupin Life Palace, the imperial court has a lot of old relationships, and there is no conclusive evidence, how can it be easily arrested?" If you startle the snake, you will make a mistake. The housekeeper is not doing this properly. Mr. Ziyu is clever, can he have a solution? ”
Seeing this, Dong Guo Liang waved his feather fan and said eloquently: "Na Xinzan is a doctor in Chaosan, and he has a lot of friends, so it is really difficult to deal with. However, I already have three plans, and only one plan can help adults get rid of this trouble. The next plan: The adult will send someone to Xinfu again, send him a golden beauty, mess with his mind, disturb his mood, if necessary, the adult will go in person, give enough face, presumably be able to stabilize the Xin Zan, and not miss the adult's affairs. Scheme: According to the words of the housekeeper, arrest and interrogate first, Xin Zan will not be able to stand the torture when he is old, wait for him to confess, and then the adults will wander around in the reverse court, and then the ironclad evidence will be like a mountain, and Xin Zan will definitely die. Planning: Collect evidence as soon as possible, wait for thousands of households to arrive, and play Xin Zan as the counselor of the army, and he will urge grain and arrest Ding, and fight against the Song Dynasty. If Xin approves of it, he will cut off his heart to join the enemy; If he is not allowed, he will take the opportunity to say that he has rebellious intentions, fabricate criminal evidence, and borrow the hands of thousands of households, and it is easy to get rid of it! ”
After hearing this, the prefect suddenly showed his sorrow, stroked his palms and laughed: "The old man has a son who is like a fish in water, like a god helping!" Mr. three plans, the best plan, we can borrow the hands of thousands of households, in addition to this trouble, since it is a means of killing people with a knife, it is wonderful! ”。 So the three of them conspired to be established, so they rested separately and waited for thousands of households to arrive, so as to frame Xin Zan according to the plan, which is not mentioned later. The time was not early, and the drumming of the third watch came from afar, and I saw that the thunder mansion in the middle of the night seemed to be silent outside, and the earth-shattering conspiracy was also tightly blocked by the dark night, without a trace.
