Chapter 385: Take the Opportunity
Peng Jin smiled: "I just want to ask, have you ever heard the story of Han Huizhi being demoted to Chaozhou, and a piece of "Sacrificial Crocodile Text" moved the crocodile, so that he was taught to retreat from shame, so as to save the people of Yiyi?" ”
Liu Zhi raised his eyebrows, and he didn't think about what Peng Jin meant for a while. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
He has read poetry since he was a child, of course, he has heard of Han Yu because of a "Greeting the Buddha's Bone Table", which caused Tang Xianzong to displease and was demoted to Chaozhou.
After arriving in Chaozhou, Han Yu did not sink into decadence because of being degraded, but committed to the development of the local area, devoted to reform, and determined to benefit one party for the first term of office, one of which was to save the people from harassment, Han Yu wrote a "Sacrificial Crocodile Text", moving with affection and knowing reason, and finally moved the crocodile, so that it took the initiative to relocate, and no longer caused trouble in the township.
Of course, this story is more or less legendary, the crocodile is a beast, even if it is psychic, how can it understand human speech, and be influenced to leave on its own initiative!
Liu Zhi's mind flashed with inspiration, and he exclaimed: "Madame, this idea is wonderful!" ”
Whether the crocodile can understand human speech Liu Zhi doesn't know, but he knows that the "thousand-year-old snake demon" in Xiaoqingtan must be able to understand human speech, because there is no such a big snake in Xiaoqingtan, and some are just snakes and scorpions!
Liu Shi had doubts about whether Xiaoqingtan had a "thousand-year-old snake demon" earlier, and after Zhao Mian arrived, he specially asked him to go to Xiaoqingtan to check the situation.
As Liu Shi expected, there was no snake demon in Xiaoqingtan, there were only witches that were more vicious than snake demons and hidden defenses and shadow guards planted!
Whether he wants to get supplies from the people to fund the bandits in Guanyin Mountain, or he wants to take the opportunity to completely muddy the water that has finally been slightly cleared in Honghe County again, he will not let it succeed!
It just so happened that he took this opportunity to expel the "snake demon", so that the witch pilgrimage lost its greatest role to the people, and completely abolished the witch jam as a chess piece!
Peng Jin saw that Liu Zhi understood what she meant, nodded and smiled: "If this matter can be successful, then your prestige among the people can at least be comparable to that of Wu Ji, and you will not have to be constrained by him much in the future; If you can't succeed, then your spirit of risking your life to save the people will also move the people and spread the praise, so no matter what, this will be a big blow to the prestige of the witch among the people. ”
When Zhang Minghua heard this, he understood Liu Shi and Peng Jin's plan, nodded in agreement, and sighed: "If Wu Ji knew that he had painstakingly spread rumors in order to cause panic in the hearts of the people, so as to profit from it, and the result was actually a success, I am afraid that I will vomit blood three liters in anger!" ”
Peng Jin smiled: "This is called 'Heaven is evil, it is forgivable; You will not live.' Should! ”
Liu Zhi nodded and smiled: "That's right." Fortune and misfortune depend on each other, and before things reach the last step, no one knows what the outcome will be. ”
If it weren't for Wu Ji taking the lead in provoking trouble this time, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to find such a good opportunity to deal with Wu Ji for a while!
Liu Shi's words are not only an exclamation for the future fate of the witch, but also a reminder to himself, you must not be careless, so as not to regret it like the witch in the future.
Thinking of Xiaoqingtan, Peng Jin couldn't help frowning and said: "It's just that since Wu Jin dares to fool the people with the 'thousand-year-old snake demon', and is sure that he has colluded with the bandits of Guanyin Mountain, I am afraid that it is impossible for him not to have a secret defense near Xiaoqingtan." You must be very careful! ”
Zhang Minghua nodded in agreement, and said with a worried face: "Madam is right. My lord, it's very dangerous to go here, why don't you go in your place? You are the mayor of a county in Honghe County, and the people of a county rely on you, so you can't afford to make a mistake! ”
"Brother Ziliang, what are these words!" Liu Zhi said solemnly, "I am grateful for your kindness, but it is precisely because I am the head of a county that this matter must be done by me in order to be convincing!" Moreover, neither of you nor I can afford any mistakes! This autumn, you still have to take the township test! And next fall, we will go back to Beijing together to report on our work! ”
Because Zhang Minghua was a county magistrate in Honghe County, far away from the high mountain road in the capital, it would be too titanic to rush back to participate in the township examination, so before leaving Beijing, Liu Shi specially asked Emperor Taixi for an order to let Zhang Minghua directly participate in the township examination in Xichuan Mansion.
Emperor Taixi liked diligent and motivated scholars the most, and after receiving Liu Shi's instructions, he didn't say a word, and immediately allowed it.
When Zhang Minghua heard this, he was very moved.
"Moreover, with Brother An and them following, you don't have to worry." Liu Shi smiled, looking confident.
and Zhao Miao's spy on Xiaoqingtan, Liu Zhi said to Peng Jin that Zhang Minghua was not good, so he could only be vague and give them a reassuring pill - how powerful the skills of Boss An and others are, Peng Jin and Zhang Minghua, who have seen a lot, know best.
Liu Zhi's words were not purely to comfort Peng Jin and Zhang Minghua, but he had indeed mastered most of the secret defenses around Xiaoqingtan, except for the surroundings of the witch's residence - he and Zhao Mo were afraid of startling the grass and snakes, so they never dared to get too close;
And he has always cooperated well with Boss An and others, and he has a small elite team left by Zhao Mo at hand to deal with it, so this trip to Xiaoqingtan, although he dare not say that everything can go well, but at least after the two sides fall out, there is no problem in retreating.
"And I'm going to take the people with me this time." Liu Shi groaned, "As long as we don't expose the deception of the witch pilgrimage on the spot, and attribute everything to the 'thousand-year-old snake demon' who was moved by us and took the initiative to leave, and no longer cause trouble to the villagers, then the witch pilgrimage will definitely not clash with us head-on in front of the people in order to make a comeback!" ”
It just so happened that they moved to scare the witch and make him take action, revealing more flaws, so that they could take the opportunity to make his collusion with the Guanyin bandits public. Let him completely lose his prestige among the people.
Peng Jin and Zhang Minghua saw that Liu Zhi had a comprehensive plan in their hearts, so they were slightly relieved.
"Then I won't bother you with your ideas." Peng Jin said with a smile, "You must write a world-famous article that is not comparable to Han Huizhi's "Sacrificial Crocodile Text", so that the 'Millennium Snake Demon' will retreat in shame!" ”
Peng Jin specially bit the words "thousand-year-old snake demon", and his ridicule and resentment of the witch can be seen.
Liu Shi and Zhang Minghua laughed when they heard this.
Two days later, after everything was well planned, Liu Shi suddenly announced that he was going to kiss Xiaoqingtan and influence the "Millennium Snake Demon" when the people once again besieged the yamen and asked for the sacrifice of blood and food for the "Millennium Snake Demon" in Xiaoqingtan.
