Xu Boyi said to Li Xuancheng with embarrassment: "If the official accuses anyone here, but cannot provide conclusive evidence, it is inevitable that he will be suspected of slandering his colleagues. I think it's better to let the official and Gao Li go first. Let the village master talk about it carefully, the personal honor and disgrace of a subordinate official is nothing, but the decency of the court is a big deal.
It would be a blessing to the country if Xiaguan could successfully persuade the two village owners to ensure that Yisu went smoothly. Moreover, if someone encourages Gao and Li's two village masters to repent because of their own selfish interests, and regards the court's major affairs as a trifle, I believe that Gao and Li's two village masters will tell the truth when they are introduced. "
Lin Shilang smiled slightly, and said: "Then you go, let me talk about my ugly words first, if this matter ends up in a situation where nothing can be done, then someone must come out and take responsibility. And the crime of bullying the king, the criminal You must know where it is!"
Xu Boyi's heart trembled, and he quickly bowed and said, "Yes! I've made a note of it!"
Lin Shilang waved his hand, and Xu Boyi withdrew.
Uncle Li Guo thought for a while, and said to Lin Shilang: "Master Lin, the official situation in Huxian County seems to be complicated. It seems that Xu Boyi is restrained by someone, and it's nothing more than their personal grievances. If they make fun of state affairs, then Don't let it go. If this matter really makes a mess, in my opinion, we can't just punish Xu Xiancheng, we must find out the real culprit behind the trouble!"
Lin Shilang smiled slightly and thought to himself: "What is this? There are more intrigues in the court. Compared with the intrigue among these officials in Hu County, it is just a child's play. You are the only one who has a golden rice in your mouth." It’s only because of the son who was born as a spoon that I feel all the fuss.”
Lin Shilang said to Uncle Li Guo: "There is no rush, let's just take a look. I think this matter will only cause some twists and turns, and will not affect the overall situation."
Lin Shilang knew much more about the inside story than Uncle Li Guo. He knew that Xu Boyi still had a trump card in his hand. Few people could resist this trump card. Once Gao and Li villages surrendered, the truth That's it.
Although Lin Shilang admired Ye Xiaotian more, Ye Xiaotian did not accept his solicitation after all, he was not one of his people, so if Ye Xiaotian played a bad role in this matter, and the truth was finally revealed, it is because his "skill" is not as good as People are to blame, Lin Shilang is not obligated to rescue him, and it is impossible for him to do anything if it involves deceiving the emperor.
Xu Boyi opened up another room and invited the two village leaders Gao and Li in alone.
Now that the matter is over, Xu Boyi is still very calm, he knows that because Ye Xiaotian solved the drought for Gaoli Liangzhai, and then pulled the young master of Gaoli Liangzhai into his sworn brother's car and horse to eat dry shares, the two sides have a dispute Although he has deep friendship and common interests, he has his own way to persuade Gao and Li Liangzhai to vote for him.
Not betraying, not because of loyalty, but because the price of betrayal is not enough. If a seventy-year-old man with no land, no house, and abject poverty can marry a twenty-eight-year-old, beautiful, rich lady from a wealthy family, it is a strange story in the world, and it is incomprehensible.
However, if it is also a 70-year-old man, he is rich enough to rival the country, or has a high-ranking official position, then many people can accept and understand marrying a beautiful woman with the same conditions as above. The gap between the incomparable wealth, the first-class official residence and the abject poverty is the weight of qualitative change. Xu Boyi now holds such a weight in his hands, so he has nothing to fear.
When Xu Boyi saw Gao and Li coming in, he smiled and said, "Please sit down, both of you!"
Village Master Gao said bluntly: "My lord, the county magistrate, is a major issue concerning the whole village. Although I am the village master, I can't make my own opinions. This matter is really out of the question."
Li Zhaizhu said: "That's right! We are sorry for you in this matter, but we never thought that it would arouse such strong opposition from the people in the village. Now this matter, we really can't represent the whole village. Promise my lord."
Xu Boyi said with a pleasant smile: "There are some things, it just depends on whether you are willing to do it or not. I believe what the two village owners are telling the truth, but I believe even more that with the prestige of the two village owners in Guizhai, As long as you are willing to persuade with your heart, the people in the village will not refuse."
When Xu Boyi said this, he stood up slowly, pulled out a roll of yellow silk from his sleeve, looked solemn, and said in a solemn voice: "You two village masters, the imperial decree is here, please accept it!"
The two village owners, Gao and Li, were taken aback, looked at each other, and knelt down hesitantly. Unless Xu Boyi is crazy, of course it is impossible to forge the imperial decree. If the imperial decree is true... for a while, the two village owners, Gao and Li, had a dreamlike feeling that mountain people like them in the backcountry would receive the imperial decree one day !
※※※
Hua Qingfeng had just arrived at the post station, before she could speak, she was slapped in the face first.
It stands to reason that this era is dominated by civil servants, and it is the military officials who are angry. Civil servants who are two levels lower are often bossy and arrogant in front of military officers two levels higher than him. If any military officer slaps a civil official, it will definitely cause an uproar.
However, there is always an exception to the general rule. The more remote the area, the greater the responsibility of the military officer, and the lesser the influence of the civilian officer. In wartime, the status of the military general in the theater will be higher, and when you meet some military officers who are not high or low, and have a rough and unrestrained temperament, Then the civil servants will not be taken seriously at all.
Hua Qingfeng was taken aback by that slap, and his face turned purple immediately. In the past few years in Hu County, although the people under him didn't respect him very much, especially Meng Qingwei, even if he was as domineering as Qi Mu, I have never slapped him before, and I don't slap him in the face!
Hua Qing was so angry that she was trembling all over, pointing at the military officer and said: "You... who are you, how dare you beat me!"
The man rolled his eyes and said arrogantly: "Hit you? If you don't recover this batch of luggage, I will kill you."
He raised his thumb and said proudly: "I am a big name Jingpeng, and I stayed behind Siqianhu in Xingdu. If you want to sue me, you can do whatever you want, but this batch of luggage was lost on your territory, so you have to be responsible for it." get back!"
Zhao Wenyuan caught up in time, bowed and said: "Jing Qianhu calm down, Jing Qianhu must not do this, this is the magistrate of this county."
Jing Peng curled his lips and said disdainfully: "Is the county magistrate so great? In the naval battle of Guangmentun, I defeated the Frangji people. I have me! In the naval battle of Fodu Island, I defeated the Japanese pirates. I am the governor of Zhejiang!" Lord Wan Zhu, I have followed! Today’s Minister of War in Nanjing, Zhang Zhen Zhang Shangshu, I have followed! You are a seventh-rank county magistrate, how prestige do you show in front of me!"
Hua Qing was trembling in a manner, but when a scholar met a soldier, he couldn't explain why. Not to mention that he couldn't roll up his sleeves and rush forward to "argument" with Jing Qianhu, even if he was willing, he wouldn't suffer too much humiliation. He couldn't possibly be his opponent, so he had to bear with his anger.
Zhao Wenyuan dragged the two of them into the room with good words. Seeing Jing Qianhu blowing his beard and staring at him, he just asked Huazhi County for supplies, but he couldn't explain why the supplies were robbed, so he had to explain the situation to Hua Qingfeng.
It turned out that with the development of the war in Yunnan, the transportation of materials on the post road suddenly became more frequent. Not only the government was moving a large amount of military materials, but also a large number of businessmen took the opportunity to transport living materials to Yunnan. War itself is an act of destruction, but everything has disadvantages and advantages. If you can seize this opportunity, you can also make a lot of money.
The transportation of a large amount of materials means the flow of a large amount of wealth. The post road is so rich that it naturally attracts bandits and bandits from all over the hills in Guizhou. While plundering post roads to transport supplies, they are also constantly fighting among themselves.
In the process of this internal struggle, the big fish eat the small fish, gradually forming a larger force than the "one-stop" bandit gang that specialized in post road business at the beginning. Moreover, their combination is a temporary combination. If they are combined for a long time, once the war is over, they will not be able to support so many people, and they will have to go back to their respective mountains.
So they don't have a fixed site, they just keep sucking blood along the post road. If you hit hard on this side, I will flee to the other side. In this way, it will be even more difficult to wipe them out. They made this deal After that, it is unknown whether he is still in Huxian County at this moment.
Jing Qianhu also knew that it would be difficult for a county magistrate to catch bandits who dared to rob even the army. Trouble, let him catch the bandit, it's a mouse pulling a turtle - there's no way to start. So Jing Qianhu simply pretended to be a fool and pretended to be the parent officer of Hu County.
Jing Qianhu, as a professional military officer, has no choice but to use this group of mobile bandits to commit crimes, and Huazhi County has nowhere to talk about hedgehogs. After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't figure out how to use the county's inspection and arresting heads to track down the whereabouts of these gangsters with complicated components, and how to use the county's poorly trained and poorly equipped civilians and inspection officers and soldiers Bring them to justice.
In this way, the only thing left for Jing Qianhu, who is a mouse to pull a turtle, and Huazhi County, who is a dog to take a hedgehog, is to play Tai Chi Push Hands. Stroking, squeezing, and pressing must be serious, and it is difficult to follow others up and down. Let him hit me with great force, and it will affect four or two thousand catties. The two of them pushed back and forth, exhilaratingly.
It is not unusual for Huazhi County to be proficient in this way, but it is surprising that Jing Qianhu, a general who looks like Zhang Fei, is not inferior to Huazhi County in this skill. Bantou Zhou watched from the side, and couldn't help sighing secretly: "This is really...not an official, you can say everything; an official, it's all the same, regardless of civil servants or military officials!"
Hua Zhixian and Jing Qianhu pushed back and forth, but they couldn't agree. Jing Qianhu became impatient, and then showed his military temper, and played tricks with Huazhi County. Huazhi County couldn't hold back anymore up. Seeing that something was wrong, Team Leader Zhou ran back to the county school to rescue soldiers.
At this time, the two village masters, Gao and Li, had just come out of the small hall in the side chamber, their expressions extremely dignified. As soon as they appeared, Gao Ya and Li Bohao went up to meet them, and asked their father in a low voice: "Father, is it alright?"
The two village masters, Gao and Li, shook their heads, looking unspeakable, but after a moment of silence, each sighed and said to their sons: "Go! Tell Lord Ye, just say... I'm sorry him!"
