Chapter 300: This Is Going to Cause Trouble (Part II)

Xuanwu Gate and Chongwen Gate were originally the southern gates of the capital, and further south should be the southern suburbs. But if today's peace is long, teeth multiply, the southern suburbs have built a new circle of city walls to become the south city or the outer city, so Xuanwu Gate and Chongwen Gate have changed from the city gate of the south city wall to the inner city gate, and the old inner city must pass through these two city gates from the outer city.

After becoming the inner city gate, the military guard of these two city gates is of little significance, there are officials stationed here mainly to collect taxes, merchants and people carry goods through the city gate to pay taxes, today the officers and soldiers stationed in Xuanwu Gate have seen a strange scene.

Fan Hongdao took the lead, and the rest of the 100 people followed, seeing Xuanwumen from a distance, Fan Hongdao did not pause at all, and continued to stride forward. The people in the back began to talk again, this Fan Master is really going to enter the inner city, is he playing really?

As soon as he walked outside the Xuanwu Gate, Fan Hongdao greeted the people who were following him, and when he was about to cross the city gate, there was a sudden shouting sound from behind. I saw a small official riding a horse, quickly chasing after him from a distance, and at the same time shouting: "Lord Fan, please stay!"

When he got close, the little official rolled down from his horse, walked in front of Fan Hongdao and said, "The master of the procuratorate has an order, let you wait to go back!"

Fan Hongdao asked rhetorically: "What are you going back for? Is Guo Chayuan willing to take these hundreds of copies?"

This is a question that the little official who caught up with him could not answer. After Guo Shengming, the imperial historian of Nancheng, heard Fan Hongdao's action, he subconsciously sent someone to chase after him, and he didn't have time to give a thoughtful order, so this little official couldn't make any promises on behalf of Shangguan.

Seeing this, Fan Hongdao said disdainfully: "If you can't be the master, it's useless to stop us, do you still want to rely on your own strength to stop more than 100 of us?"

In this way, Fan Hongdao shook off the officials of the procuratorate and continued to advance towards the city gate of Xuanwu Gate. The little official glanced behind him, and hurriedly grabbed Fan Hong and said, "The master of the procuratorate has arrived in person!"

Fan Hongdao raised his eyes, and sure enough, he saw four people carrying a sedan chair, trotting all the way to this side. In front of the sedan chair, there are two teams holding honor guards with guide signs, and they are also trotting all the way to open the way.

It is not strange for Guo Yushi to catch up at this time, probably he didn't expect the little official he sent to stop Fan Hongdao, who was already nervous, as long as the little official could delay Fan Hongdao a little, even if the task was completed, otherwise it would be even more tricky after passing the Xuanwu Gate and entering the inner city.

"Lord Guo spoke before, but I didn't see anyone today, why did you chase it out again?" Fan Hongdao took the initiative to speak, and said in a sarcastic tone: "But I don't know what you have to say when you chase here, Lord Guo?"

Guo Shengming, surrounded by his entourage, said sharply: "Fan Hongdao, you are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, what do you want? This official hereby orders, you go back immediately!"

Fan Hongdao was a person who had seen "big scenes" several times, and Guo Yushi's harsh words could not scare him, so he sneered and retorted: "Although Guo Chayuan has a noble status, he is not my direct boss, and I can disobey you if you give me an order! Unless Guo Chayuan asks our branch Shen to give me an order!"

Guo Shengming threatened: "Don't force this official to mobilize soldiers and horses and patrol the camp!"

"Guo Chayuan is so majestic!" Fan Hongdao raised his hand disapprovingly and pointed around: "More than 100 people in Nancheng went to the procuratorate to complain, but the procuratorate did not accept it, but instead used soldiers to commit violence, it is really the blue sky of Nancheng, I think the people of the capital owe you a plaque!"

Anyone can hear that Fan Hongdao is obviously a counterstatement. Guo Yushi's original intention was to threaten Fan Hongdao, but Fan Hongdao transferred it to the people around him, and it sounded as if Guo Yushi planned to use force to deal with the complaining people. If this is the case, it will become a scandal, and the reputation of the Qingliu officials will certainly not be able to afford it.

Guo Shengming was so angry that he was speechless for a while, and Fan Hongdao took the opportunity to continue: "The procuratorate wants me to turn back, but I don't know that now it is not a question of whether I can go back, but a problem of whether these more than 100 people can go back! As long as you accept their petitions and accept their complaints, then why should they follow me to mess around, and they will naturally go back!"

Fan Hongdao seems to have given Guo Yushi a chance to choose, but Guo Yushi can't make a choice. He deliberately threw a large number of cases to the Nancheng Branch Office before, if he ate them all back today, and he was forced by Fan Hongdao to eat them back, then where would he put his face?

At the same time, this also negates the legitimacy of the previous prevarication case, and is tantamount to openly declaring that he had done something wrong in the past! If it falls into the hands of someone with a good heart, and the "responsibility for making mistakes" is pursued exhaustively, there will be endless troubles in the future. The reason why many officials "make mistakes again and again" is not that they are stupid, but that they cannot admit their mistakes.

Since he couldn't, Guo Yushi could only continue to "intimidate" after thinking about it. The reason why newcomers in officialdom like Fan Hongdao are bold and reckless is largely because the ignorant are fearless, as long as they truly understand the consequences, they will naturally be in awe.

"I don't speak secret words in front of the Ming people, but I do have a few words to say to you. Guo Yushi looked at the people around him, and his tone was very calm: "You Fan Hongdao want to take unconventional means to deal with this official, and you want to break the deadlock through this method and put this official in an extremely disadvantageous situation."

But have you ever thought that people who do extraordinary things will themselves be subject to extraordinary scrutiny! If you want to get extraordinary benefits, you have to take extraordinary risks, and you really know what will happen to you?"

Fan Hongdao seemed to be very "sincere" and asked, "What will happen to me?"

"You will not be able to move an inch, you will be rejected by righteous men and gentlemen, and you will have no fame and fortune from now on! And most people in the court don't like people who break the rules, let alone people who go to beat the drum in order to fight with others!"

"Oh!" Fan Hongdao said calmly that he knew. Then he turned around and said to the people: "If you want to complain, continue to follow me! After passing the Xuanwu Gate, you will not be far from Dengwengu!"

After that, Fan Hongdao strode towards the Xuanwu Gate City Gate Cave, without dragging mud and water at all. Guo Shengming almost wanted to vomit blood when he saw this, and he dared to say it to himself for a long time, but it was all in vain!

Guo Yushi originally thought that Fan Hongdao might be a pretend gesture when he said that he was going to beat the Dengwen drum, so as to force him to back down, but now looking at Fan Hongdao's performance, it is like he is stunned, and he is desperate to beat the Dengwen drum!

Guo Yushi couldn't help but shout regardless of his identity: "Fan Hongdao, come back!" Fan Hongdao heard the shout, but he didn't stop, and he didn't even have the interest to look back.

The last time Fan Hongdao visited Guo Shengming, he fell into a disadvantage between his words, and was even blocked by Guo Yushi with nothing to say, which almost left a psychological shadow. But today, if Fan Hongdao is asked to score Guo Yushi's speech, it will definitely fail.

At this point, Fan Hongdao realized that officials like Guo Shengming are very good at speaking and doing things under the existing system, and they can skillfully say impeccable clichés, and they can skillfully use routines to do things, which is called doing things according to procedures
