Chapter 321: Grim
Liu Shi and Liang Shan saw that Peng Jin and Liu Xuan were playing warmly, so the two moved to the front hall and talked about business. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although the two have only met for the first time, they have been friends for a long time, and time is pressing, Liu Shi didn't have time to be polite to him, and said bluntly, "When I was in Yangjie Town, I heard that there were two major tricks in Honghe County. ”
Liang Shan nodded and replied, "Yes! This is the bandits of Guanyin Mountain, cunning and ferocious, killing people without blinking, and treating human life like a mustard; The second is the witch pilgrimage of Xiaoqingtan, which means to reach the sky, knows the past and the future, and can change the life against the sky. These two, one intimidates people by force, and the other seduces people with gods, and they are indeed unprovoked existences among the people. ”
Liu Shi heard Liang Shan's words and asked, "What do you mean?" The existence of the people who cannot be provoked means that the government is actually not afraid of them? ”
Liang Shan shook his head and replied: "It's not that they are not afraid, but they have always been with the well water of the official mansion and do not interfere with the river water, and the two are not hindered, and they do not provoke each other." ”
Liu Shi stared at Liang Shan for a long time before shaking his head and sneering: "How can the two be unhindered?" Are they not the people under my rule who have plundered? Are they not the people of my jurisdiction who have made a fool? ”
Needless to say, the bandits of Guanyin Mountain do everything they can to burn, kill and loot; Even the witch pilgrimage of Xiaoqingtan is also preached among the people, and it is necessary to regularly put livestock into Xiaoqingtan to avoid snake demons making trouble.
Although the latter is not a forced request, but with the sacred status of witchcraft in the hearts of the people, as long as he says a word, the people must not be busy taking the initiative to honor things!
Liang Shan frowned when he heard this, and asked, "Do you want to move them by yourself?" That's not going to work! Not to mention just one Honghe County, even the entire Xichuan Mansion together may not be able to move them! Third brother, you can't hit a stone with an egg! ”
In the end, Liang Shan leaned forward with a solemn face.
Liu Shi originally thought that Liang Shan did not mention too much about the Guanyin Mountain bandits and the Xiaoqingtan witch pilgrimage in the previous letters, because neither of them was a cause for concern, but he did not expect that the forces of the two sides were so large that it was difficult to shake the power of the whole government!
"In that case, why didn't you mention it in your letter earlier?" Liu Zhi lowered his face, he didn't want to believe that Liang Shan was deliberately deceiving.
Liang Shan saw that Liu Zhi had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "Third brother, I didn't mean to hide this from you. It's just that the Guanyin Mountain bandits and the Xiaoqingtan Witch Hajray have not really threatened the life and death of the people, and it seems that they have always intended to avoid the government, so all along, the entire Xichuan Mansion has been turning a blind eye and has been peaceful, and no one has taken this matter to heart! ”
The danger of the Guanyin Mountain bandits and the Xiaoqingtan witch pilgrimage has been so deep that the entire Xichuan Mansion has let it go up and down!
Eat the king's lu, bear the king's worries, such a corpse vegetarian meal, ignoring the lives and property of the people, and claiming to be a parent official with a face!
Seeing the look of anger between Liu Zhi's eyebrows, Liang Shan sighed: "Xichuan Mansion is located on the border, the mountains are steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it has always been regarded by the imperial court as a natural barrier against foreign enemies in the southwest.
Not to mention the life and death hardships of the people.
That's why I tried my best to invite my third brother over!
The border needs a chief like the third brother who really thinks about the people! ”
Liu Zhi saw Liang Shan's sincere words, angry and sad between his eyebrows, and after a while, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "Don't worry, I have my own measure in this matter." ”
It's just that it is impossible to let him sit back and watch the people being bullied and fooled and be indifferent!
Liang Shan saw that Liu Zhi had made up his mind, and he was excited and sad.
What is exciting is that there is a good official like Liu Shi who really thinks about the people, why not worry about the prosperity and prosperity of the border lands, peace and happiness;
The sad thing is that the two sides of the Guanyin Mountain bandits and the Xiaoqingtan Witch are too powerful, and they may not be able to take it by gathering the power of Xichuan and the government, let alone a mere Honghe County!
He invited Liu Shi to come this time, and he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse.
"Since the third brother has a plan in his heart, then I won't stop it too much! When the time comes, if there is a place for me, I will die even if I am commanded! Liang Shan said awe-inspiringly.
Liu Shi patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "What do you say, 'never give up'!" Sister Xuan, this has just had good news, you are about to be a father, and the family is harmonious! ”
Speaking of his wife and children, Liang Shan's eyebrows were much looser, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
Liu Shi saw that Liang Shan loved Liu Xuan, and as an elder brother, he was also deeply grateful.
"That's right, third brother." After Liang Shan laughed, Zhengse said, "The bandits of Guanyin Mountain and the Xiaoqingtan witch pilgrimage, the two sides are only afraid of collusion in secret." If you really want to move them at that time, you have to be careful to guard against their collusion and secretly taking advantage of the people's blind worship of witchcraft to your detriment! ”
The people are innocent and simple, thinking that evil is evil, gods are gods, Guanyin Mountain bandits kill and plunder, Xiaoqingtan witches Pudu sentient beings, just like the difference between heaven and earth.
However, these officials can vaguely smell a trace of the unusual smell, and they are afraid that the two sides have some shady contact in private.
Think about it, if the people knew that the witches they worshipped as gods were colluding with the brutal bandits, how could the witches capture the hearts of the people?
Liu Zhiyan frowned deeply when he heard this, and nodded: "I know." The stakes are high and will be discussed later. The most important thing at the moment is Wu Zhong's matter. ”
"Wu Zhong?" Liang Shan raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong with him?" The third brother is here, shouldn't he go back to his main book? ”
Liu Shi sneered and said, "He is not willing to just be a master bookkeeper!" ”
After that, Liu Zhi simply told Liang Shan what Wu Zhong had done.
Liang Shan was suddenly blushed with anger, stood up on the ground, and shouted angrily: "This Wu Zhong, one set on the surface, one set behind the ground!" Obviously, I sincerely said here that I would assist the third brother well, but I didn't expect to stumble on the third brother when I turned around! Third brother, don't worry, I'll talk about him when I turn around! ”
"Say him? What are you going to say? Liu Zhi glanced at Liang Shan, shook his head, and said, "It means that he fulfilled his duties and took care of everything in an orderly manner during his time as acting magistrate; Or did he catch a cold and stay sick in order to welcome me, the new magistrate? ”
"Say he ......" Liang Shan hurriedly shouted a word, suddenly thinking that these were Wu Zhong's small actions in private, and he had no evidence, so he immediately closed his mouth and lowered his arm that was pointing angrily.
Seeing that Liang Shan had calmed down, Liu Zhi said: "If you really want to help me, quickly tell me about the historical government of Honghe County and Xichuan Mansion, so that I can prescribe the right medicine." ”
Liang Shan nodded, sat down in his seat again, and carefully talked to Liu Shi about the corresponding situation.
ps: I've been having a headache lately, and there's a rush of blood that will break through my head at any time...... I don't know if there's any good way to improve it quickly, and then let me code words happily!! (To be continued.) )
