Zhou Wenhuai was quite unimpressed with his master's suggestion. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info because in his opinion, overseas Chinese are also too deceitful, the Wang family was provoked for no reason, the whole family was wiped out, and the family business accumulated for decades was also destroyed, and the Wang brothers were also driven out of their homes. And he was forced by the pressure of overseas Chinese to force the Wang brothers to leave Jiaozhou City, which made Zhou Wenhuai's heart quite unhappy.

Although Zhou Wenhuai is not as clear as water and as clear as a mirror, he has done some things that are corrupt and perverted the law, but he still has some conscience, and in the past few years since he arrived, the Wang family is also quite knowledgeable, and the three festivals and two respects and one worship every year are all given as gifts, and the weddings and funerals in Zhou Zhixian County are also generous, and they must pay themselves at least about 200 taels of silver every year. Now that the Wang family has fallen, Zhouzhi County's income has also lost a large chunk.

Now that the Wang brothers have been hiding outside for two months, they have returned to Jiaozhou City to settle down, and it is also human nature, no one is willing to leave their hometown, and overseas Chinese have never been here since they entered Jiaozhou City once, and it seems that this rumor should have subsided a little, so why should they be troubled? When the overseas Chinese really asked, they pretended not to know, how could they get over.

Seeing that the county lord said this, Kong Ye didn't say anything, but he was quite worried in his heart, after all, he was a person who often ran to the grassroots level, and he also paid attention to the news of Wangjiazhai in the past two months, knowing that this group of overseas Chinese in Wangjiazhai is dividing land and clearing wasteland, and what militia has been organized in the village, what village committee has been established, with the strong strength of overseas Chinese to defeat foreigners, his ambition is probably not only to be a rich man in Wangjiazhai.

But if this group of overseas Chinese wants to pull the flag and rebel, it is not very similar, because if they want to rebel, they must occupy the government and seize the state, and set up rewards for officials, just like the trouble of Changmao (Taiping Heavenly Kingdom) back then, and with the strength of overseas Chinese, it is not difficult to occupy the prefecture and seize the state, but until now the overseas Chinese have not even occupied Jiaozhou City, but they have just taken Jiaoao from the hands of foreigners, and then they are enduring in a mud village, I really don't understand what they plan to catch.

However, Wangjiazhai Village is only more than 20 miles away from Jiaozhou City, which can be said to be the heart of Jiaozhou City, and with the strength of overseas Chinese, it is really easy to capture Jiaozhou City, Jiaozhou City has almost no resistance at all, so it should be cautious, and can not give overseas Chinese a mouthful, to invade Jiaozhou City, and now Zhouzhi County has taken in the Wang brothers, in fact, it is a good excuse to give overseas Chinese, just see if overseas Chinese are not ready to use.

It's just that neither Zhou Wenhuai nor Kong Ye thought that this group of overseas Chinese would really dare to do it, and even openly broke into Jiaozhou City in broad daylight to commit murder, killing 11 people in one fell swoop, although there were no Wang brothers among the dead, but needless to say that they were taken away, is this worth it?

However, after Zhou Wenhuai lost his temper, he found that he had no way to take this group of overseas Chinese, and sent a head catcher to arrest people, and could he catch them? I am afraid that he will not even be able to return to catch the head when the time comes; he will send troops to exterminate Wangjiazhai, and how much is his own small Jiaozhou City? However, Yuan Futai, the governor of Shandong, had already sent a message to all parts of Shandong and strictly ordered him not to clash with the overseas Chinese, so he would report to the state capital for help, and ask the state government or the yamen of the governor of Shandong to send troops to exterminate the overseas Chinese? Therefore, Zhou Wenhuai also regretted a little, if he had listened to Kong Ye's advice and drove the Wang brothers away, there would have been no such troubles.

Today, Zhou Wenhuai gathered Li Xingfang, the county leader, Liu Yuan, and Kong Ye, the master, to discuss how to deal with this case. When Zhou Wenhuai was hesitating, the defender of the city rushed to the county government to report that the overseas Chinese who came to Jiaozhou City last time had come again, and this time he also brought sixty or seventy troops, and he must enter the city to meet Zhou Zhixian. If Zhou Zhixian refused to allow them to enter the city, they would enter Jiaozhou City.

After listening to the general briefing, Zhou Wenhuai and the others were also very frightened, but they did not expect that after this group of overseas Chinese washed the royal mansion in blood, they would not be able to come to Jiaozhou City again in broad daylight, and it was difficult to say that the overseas Chinese planned to wash Jiaozhou City in blood? Moreover, the general manager also said that the overseas Chinese did not want to wait outside the city for too long, so please ask a few masters to decide as soon as possible.

Zhou Wenhuai and others hurriedly discussed, it must be impossible to stop it, a small Jiaozhou City, of course, it is impossible to stop overseas Chinese, but let overseas Chinese come into the city, who knows what they will do, so several people are also a little hesitant.

At this time, Kong Ye said: "A few masters, don't hesitate at this time, hurry up and order, let overseas Chinese enter the city." ”

Zhou Wenhuai frowned and said, "Master Kong, let overseas Chinese enter the city, in case they make trouble in the city, how can they clean it up?"

Kong Ye said: "Tang Zun, if the overseas Chinese attack the city by force, can I hold Jiaozhou City?"

Zhou Wenhuai shook his head, smiled bitterly, and said, "Naturally, it can't be kept." ”

Kong Ye said: "That's it, since it can't be defended, it's better to open the city gate and let them in, not to mention that according to the following point of view, although the tone of the overseas Chinese is fierce, but the facts are measured, and they don't really want to capture Jiaozhou City by force." ”

Zhou Wenhuai said: "How can this be seen?"

Kong Ye said: "Although the overseas Chinese sent people into the city and washed the Wang family in blood, but the people killed were only the people of the Wang family, and did not affect other innocents, and this time they came to Jiaozhou, although they threatened with threat, but now they are still waiting outside the city, and they are still forced into the city, and they still let the soldiers enter the city to report, which shows that the other party does not want to do the matter, so according to the following view, there is a lot of room for reversal in this matter." ”

Although Zhou Wenhuai, Li Xingfang, and Liu Yuan's official positions are not high, it does not mean that they do not understand these human accidents, so Kong Ye's reminder immediately understood, and they were all relieved, Zhou Wenhuai sighed again: "So Mr. thinks that overseas Chinese have entered Jiaozhou City again this time, and they have made a huge noise, what is the so-called thing?"

Kong Ye smiled bitterly and said: "It's hard to guess this, overseas Chinese entering the city this time will not be unprovoked, or want to extort some money, and there is no way to get along, we can only act at the opportunity." ”

Zhou Wenhuai nodded, it could only be like this, so he hurriedly ordered to open the city gate to let overseas Chinese enter the city, and at the same time ordered to wait for guests in the second hall.

Not long after, Wang Sheng, Chen Mingyuan, Hong Cheng, Zhang Hao, and four soldiers, under the leadership of the messenger, entered the second hall of the county ya, while Yang Rui led the other soldiers to wait outside the county ya.

After the two sides greeted each other and sat down, Zhou Wenhuai asked: "I don't know what Mr. Wang is doing when he enters Jiaozhou City this time?"

Wang Sheng was not polite, and said with a calm face: "Zhou Zhi County, the last time I entered Jiaozhou City, I reached an agreement with your county, do you remember Zhou Zhi County?"

Zhou Wenhuai nodded and said, "Naturally, I remember." ”

Wang Shengdao: "I remember that at that time, we asked Zhou Zhixian to arrest the Wang brothers, but when Zhou Zhixian sent a messenger to get people, we found that the Wang brothers had fled from Jiaozhou City, and Zhou Zhixian also promised us that as long as the Wang brothers returned to Jiaozhou City, they would be arrested immediately, is there such a thing?"

Zhou Wenhuai's head was also a little sweaty, although Kong Ye said that the other party would not use force, but this was completely the momentum of the Xingshi to ask for the guilt, which still made him a little nervous, but these words were indeed what he said at the beginning, and he couldn't deny it, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "This is indeed the case." ”

Wang Sheng's tone was even more stern, and he said, "But what your county is doing is obviously going against the agreement we reached at the beginning. ”

Zhou Wenhuai's heart was only abrupt, but he still strengthened his courage and said, "How can you say this, sir." ”

Wang Shengdao: "The brothers of the Wang family returned to Jiaozhou more than ten days ago, don't you know about Zhou Zhixian?"

Zhou Wenhuai was stunned and said: "Is there such a thing? The brothers of the Wang family have returned to Jiaozhou City? This official does not know anything about it? If this official knows about this, he will definitely order a messenger to arrest the Wang brothers and never let them go." He turned his head and said to Li Xingfang: "Lord Li, have you heard that the Wang brothers have returned to Jiaozhou?"

Li Xingfang also had an ignorant expression, and his head shook like a drum, and said, "Don't you, the lower officials really don't know." ”

Liu Yuan also spread his hands and said, "This is also the first time the villain has heard about this. ”

Wang Sheng and others didn't know whether to cry or laugh, thinking that all of them were at the level of actors, compared to them, what little Tang Ge and Xiao Li Xiao were simply weak, this group of people didn't go to the movie, but it was really a good material, in the old time and space, it was easy to get a little golden man or something.

However, Wang Sheng came to find fault, of course he would not let them go so easily, and said with a sneer: "You are the parents and officials of Jiaozhou, the brothers of the Wang family have returned to Jiaozhou City, right under your noses, will you not know?"

When Zhou Wenhuai and the others heard this, they were also quite embarrassed, and they couldn't answer.

Kong Ye said on the side: "There are more than 3,000 households registered in this Jiaozhou city, with a population of more than 25,000 people, and there are more than 100 villages in the surrounding area, with hundreds of thousands of people. I think that the soldiers guarding the city must have neglected their duties, coveted bribes, deceived their superiors and subordinates, and privately let the Wang brothers into the city, and there are also cases where this matter must be strictly investigated and punished. ”

Zhou Wenhuai also nodded again and again, and said, "Yes, yes, it must be strictly investigated and punished." ”
