Wang Zhizhou smiled bitterly and said: "Your question is actually my problem, I also asked Lord Yang to come, but this kid, ah no, this lord actually pulled out Shang Fang's sword and put it on my neck, warning me that if I don't do what he asks, I will cut off my head." Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info he is holding the sword of Shang Fang, which is given by the emperor, you can cut it first and then play, how dare I contradict him, I told him, this will disturb the people, the people will rise up to make trouble, he doesn't listen, what can be done?"

The general judge sighed, nodded, and said, "This kind of thing can't be done by him, according to the lower officials, it may be better for us to disobey the yang and the yin, otherwise, the people will make a fuss about this matter, which is not a trivial matter." He Yang Xianmao can leave when the time comes, leaving a mess for us to clean up. When the time comes, the official family will blame him, and he will definitely not trouble him, and he will definitely let us carry the black pot. ”

Wang Zhizhou nodded, thought about it and said, "However, I saw that he was so confident, and I felt that if what he said was true, and we didn't guard against it, wouldn't it hurt the people?"

Tong Juan smiled and said: "It's just alarmist, a shrewd person like Wang Zhizhou will never believe it." ”

Wang Zhizhou sneered, thinking that this is still up to you, but he smiled humbly on his face, and said: "Although I don't believe it in my heart, he is a minister of the Qin Mission, holding the sword of Shang Fang, and he is killed and killed, who dares not to listen! So, let's listen to the greetings honestly, let the brothers cheer up, this surnamed Yang can be said, he will come to check at any time, if there are still pedestrians and hawkers on the street, or farmers in the field, he will take us to ask." ”

"Please rest assured, I have made careful arrangements, all the horse and foot archers of the yamen have been dispatched, and none of the three classes of yamen have been sent out to patrol the streets. There should be no big problem in the city, but I am afraid of the countryside. We don't have enough manpower, so we can only go to the village to inform them, so that the village in the village is responsible for organizing the people of their own village to restrain everyone from going to the ground. The villages near Shouzhou City can send people to inform them, and I am afraid that there will be insufficient manpower no matter how far they go. ”

"I don't care, you must be responsible for supervision, and tell those bastards in the village that if anyone dares to make trouble with Lao Tzu, if they don't listen to Lao Tzu's greeting, Lao Tzu will beat him and shackle him to show the public. ”

Tong Ju thought to himself, this Wang Zhizhou is inevitably too ruthless, although this Yang Xianmao is the minister of the Qin Mission, and there is a Shang Fang sword, but it may not be so vicious and dare to kill people, in the end, it is the official of the imperial court, but he doesn't know, just now, this Wang Zhizhou was Yang Xianmao's Shang Fang sword on his neck, cold light, that feeling made his whole body bones fall into the ice, he was scared from the bottom of his heart, and he read the decision from Yang Xianmao's eyes, that is to say, he could feel that if he didn't do what Yang Xianmao ordered, Yang Xianmao would really cut off his head。

Wang Zhizhou has always been shrouded in this feeling, and his heart is full of panic, so by the afternoon, he was still a little uneasy, so he took the official sedan chair and hugged the streets to see if he had done what he asked.

He walked down the street in an official sedan chair, and found that the street was deserted, all the shops were closed, and the street was empty, except for the horse-step archers of the yamen, beating gongs, and shouting along the way that the street should be forbidden, and no one was allowed to go on the street, otherwise they would all be arrested and imprisoned.

Wang Zhizhou now knows why the streets are empty, why the people in the city are so obedient, it turns out that this general judgment actually came up with this trick, ban the streets, and announce that whoever goes on the street will be arrested, so that the people dare to go to the street.

Seeing this situation, he was a little relieved, and it seemed that the general judgment was very resolute, and he used all means to implement his decision. At the crossroads of the city, he met the general judge who was sitting here.

When he saw Wang Zhizhou's frightened appearance in Wang Zhizhou's official office just now, he knew the history of Yang Xianmao, the minister of the Qin Mission, and already felt that Wang Zhizhou was serious this time, so he didn't dare to relax at all and personally supervise the battle.

Because Wang Zhizhou had already ordered him to be in charge of this matter, he took a few officials to sit at the crossroads, waiting for the inspection to report the situation in various places, so that he could make a decision at any time.

Now that Wang Zhizhou is here, the general judge hurriedly got up from the Taishi chair, walked over quickly and bowed down, Wang Zhizhou asked a few simple words, it is normal to patrol the streets everywhere, and almost no one dares to walk on the street. Occasionally, if a brave one comes out, the soldiers will chain him up on the spot and take him back to the prison. Since then, the residents of the city have not dared to come out when they see that the officers and soldiers are sincere and really not to scare people.

On this day, everything was very smooth, and there was no trouble, until noon the next day, when trouble finally came.

Shouzhou City was deterred by the strong pressure of horse step archers, and indeed no one dared to go to the streets. However, the villagers in the villages outside the city can't take care of so much, because there are too many villages, and the state government yamen does not have so many troops to send to the villages, so they can only send people to inform the village to organize the local people to carry out the order of the governor of the prefecture, prohibiting the villagers from working in the fields, prohibiting them from going out, and they must hide at home.

And whether this kind of verbal order can be carried out depends on the degree of reverence of the common people for the officials and the yamen. However, the common people of Shouzhou are already fierce and have no respect for the imperial court, so it is difficult for these people to resolutely implement the orders issued by the government.

Therefore, the people who went down to inspect the inspection from all over the country reported the news to Wang Zhizhou at noon the next day, saying that the villagers of more than a dozen villages did not care about the government's ban at all, but still went their own way and went to work in the fields.

Wang Zhizhou was anxious when he heard this, because there was still half a day left in the two days limited by the lord, as long as he was discovered by the lord, he was only afraid that he would be unlucky, so he immediately called the general judgment over, and said sharply: "You immediately send soldiers from the city to these dozen villages, let these disobedient Diao people go back to the village immediately and stay at home. ”

After listening to Wang Zhizhou's words, he scratched his head and said with a smile: "The villagers of these dozen villages don't listen to the government very much, every time they go down to collect taxes, it is a headache to send messengers, and sometimes the officials sent there are also drunk villagers who beat them violently, and I don't know who did it, no one in the village admits it, and no one can catch it." Now they are not allowed to work in the fields for no reason, they are only afraid that they will be more reasonable, and they will not listen to the call of the government more and more, if they forcibly send soldiers to use the strong at this time, they are afraid that they will provoke a civil uprising, and if it really provokes a civil uprising, the two of us will not be able to get out of it. ”

Wang Zhizhou said angrily: "If the surnamed Yang sees that the people are still working in the fields, then my head will be in trouble." This surnamed Yang is not a joke, do you want to see my jokes, or do you want to kill me and you replace me!"

Seeing that he was a little angry, and the words he said were very scary, he couldn't help but blush, and said with a smile: "Lord Zhizhou, how dare you think about it, it's just for the sake of your lordship." ”

"If you want to think about me, immediately send someone to carry out my words, and send me all these villagers who are working in the fields back to the village, and whoever dares not listen will be arrested." It's a dead order. ”

The general judge hurriedly nodded in agreement, hurried out, and hurried to these villages with a group of horse infantry horse foot archers drawn from all over the city.

Wang Zhizhou saw that the sentence was in a hurry and took people away, so he was a little relieved. He sent people to look for Yang Xianmao, but he couldn't find it, he just wanted to see where Yang Xianmao was, so that he could arrange people in that area, otherwise Yang Xianmao found that the people were still in the ground, but he was afraid that he would trouble him again, but Yang Xianmao seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and he didn't return to the post station last night and night. In this way, Wang Zhizhou was a little relaxed and felt a little nervous at the same time, could it be that something happened to this Yang Jue, if something really happened, he would also be unable to get out of it.

Wang Zhizhou sat in the room uneasily, picked up the official document and looked at it a few times, but he couldn't see it, someone was on the table, and he was spinning around the room with his hands behind his back.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of swaying branches, and when he turned his head, he saw a few locust trees in the courtyard outside the gate rattling, some of which were blown down to the ground, and the clothes of several attendants at the door were blown by the wind.

He covered his eyes with his hands, for fear of being fascinated, and one of the guards said: "Grandma's, this wind is so strong, it came suddenly, and there was no sign, so that Lao Tzu couldn't stand."

Seeing the few attendants at the door who were blown and shaken, Wang Zhizhou's heart couldn't help but froze, he remembered what Yang Xianmao said before he left, he got the guidance of a master, saying that there were strong winds and super hail in the past two days. Isn't it just a gale?

The wind was so fierce that people couldn't stand on their feet, and the branches on the trees were broken, wasn't this a miracle? Could it be that this Lord Yang had really received the guidance of a master and had already predicted this natural and man-made disaster?

Wang Zhizhou thought of this, he was a little anxious, and hurriedly walked out of the signing room, came to the courtyard, a gust of wind blew, blowing the black gauze hat on his head and flying out, falling on the ground several feet away, rolling forward like a smoke like a gourd, panicked The attendants hurriedly ran to chase the black gauze hat.

Wang Zhizhou didn't have time to look at the black gauze hat, he looked up at the direction where the wind came, his heart was pounding, if it was really a strong wind and hail, this wind was still secondary, if it was a super hail, smashing people and animals, it would be a disaster.

Especially if Lord Yang had already warned in advance, but he was not able to resolutely implement it, causing a large number of deaths and injuries to the people or the loss of livestock, the imperial court would definitely hold him responsible, and he would not be able to eat and walk around at that time.

So Wang Zhizhou suddenly became anxious again, because this gust of wind had proved that what Yang Xianmao said was at least half right, which made him even more nervous in his heart, originally he was just afraid that Yang Xianmao would trouble him and was forced to implement this decision, but now, when this kind of wind rose, he turned into a real worry about natural disasters.

However, if there is a natural disaster under the rule of an official, he will not be held accountable, but if he does not do a good job in disaster prevention and mitigation, he will be held accountable, and this responsibility is extremely heavy.

So Wang Zhizhou anxiously shouted: "Hurry up, hurry up and prepare a sedan chair, I want to go to the city to inspect, hurry up." ”
