Ji County.

On a small hill north of the county seat, I saw a bearded man standing on the slope, surrounded by a group of beggars, looking up at him.

The beard said: "Fellow villagers, I finally inquired clearly, it turns out that His Majesty sent the tooth merchant here, not to protect King Lu, but to send us food, the tooth merchant swore in the middle of the court, if we can't let the people of our Weihui Mansion live and work in peace and contentment within a year, they are willing to scatter all their wealth to help us."

However, His Majesty did not agree at that time, how could the dignified state government be contracted to a businessman? It's a pity that none of the ministers of the court and the central government dared to take the order to come here, so His Majesty sent the tooth merchant here. ”

"Brother Wang, how do you know Your Majesty's words? You're lying, aren't you? A little beggar questioned.

The beard said: "I heard from Captain Chen, he is from the capital, and there can be no fake." And the reason why those scholars asked us to stop the tooth merchant from coming was because the old man Xue was instigated behind him, and he was afraid that the tooth merchant would do a better job than his son-in-law, and his son-in-law would lose his position as the prefect.

It's good now, the tooth merchant Guo Dan was scolded by them so much that he couldn't even enter Henan, and now he doesn't know where he is, and Old Man Xue and they are in a hurry to unload the mill and kill the donkey, and they won't even give us a grain of grain. ”

"That's right, no matter what the tooth merchant is here to do, Old Man Xue, they really went too far, when they asked us to stop Guo Dan, they were all good-natured, and now they have a different face."

"Yes, that's exactly what happened."

The beard continued: "Everyone, I also heard that Your Majesty has made a will, whoever prevented Guo Dan from entering Weihui Mansion in the first place will find whoever is responsible, since Your Majesty has said so, then let's go to those people to be responsible, if they don't give it, then we will go to 'Long live Daming'." ”

"Well said! Long live the Ming Dynasty! ”

"Long live Daming!"

.....．

In order not to be harmonious, they now replace any illegal words with "Long live the Ming Dynasty".

And at the top of the mountain, there was a small group of officers and soldiers squatting there, quietly watching, a harmonious atmosphere.

"Tong team, do you think they are a rebellion?" Wu Guansheng said thoughtfully.

Tong Li said: "Of course it doesn't count, didn't you hear what they said, they want to reason with each other, this is a good phenomenon." ”

Wu Guansheng suddenly said with a flattering face: "The Tong team is reasonable. ”

Although it is suspicious, this is actually a fact.

This spark can start a prairie fire, and the matter of Ji County soon spread throughout Weihui Mansion, and the hungry people finally picked up the sticks.

But strangely, the situation has stabilized instead.

Because of the reasonable treatment of the officers and soldiers, these beggars also obey the rules very well, do not grow in size, do not carry swords, do not cause death, they only have a reasonable conflict in a reasonable area, with a reasonable number of people, just like the game, there are rules, they do not even bother the tenant farmers in the grange, they have only one purpose, that is, to rob the grain of the big landlords.

At the same time, Guo Dan's name began to resound throughout Weihui Mansion.

They began to use Guo Dan as a reason to ask local scholars, big landlords, and large families to give them food.

Don't talk to us about etiquette anymore.

Nowadays, it is difficult to make anything but food.

This Weihui Mansion has a profound cultural heritage, full of scholars, full of benevolence and morality, and it is said that it is the first and the best, but now when they are asked to fulfill their promises and take out the food, they have become evasive.

They began to point the finger at those officers and soldiers again.

It's okay not to refer to it, but with this finger, the situation suddenly took a 180-degree reversal.

In the past, the common people still respected and admired the scholars very much, but when they targeted the officers and soldiers, the scholars immediately became enemies in their eyes.

This is because the actions and deeds of the officers and men during this period really won the hearts of the people, otherwise the situation would never have been so stable.

Although they don't know who Guo Dan is, these scholars once said that Guo Dan is a traitor, and now that the reader has become a bad person, then Guo Dan is naturally a good person, good and bad are opposites.

This hurts the roots.

Those big landlords were panicking, and this matter was getting bigger and bigger.

Liang family compound.

"I asked you to take out food to help everyone, although it is not a long-term solution, but at least it can give you an explanation, so that it will not become like this, now that it is good, this food has been robbed, not to mention, the people still hate us to the bone."

The head of the family, Liang Kui, was very angry.

Old man Xue said with an embarrassed face: "We didn't know that it would become like this, who would have expected those officers and soldiers to do nothing, they knew that they were watching the play on the sidelines, or even instigating it on the sidelines, otherwise, how could things have developed to this point." ”

"Oops! Don't quarrel now, hurry up and find a way, if this continues, we will all let them snatch our food. ”

"That's... Then let's take some food out, and think of it as a disaster to eliminate the disaster. ”

"At this time, we can't take out the grain, if the grain is taken out, doesn't it mean that we are wrong, then they will come to us every day to ask for food, how much food do you have at home?"

"Then we can only ask Kaifeng Mansion for help."

"Alas... Don't mention Kaifeng Mansion, I have already written to my brother, but it is useless, there is no order from the imperial court, who dares to mobilize people here without authorization, it is a rebellion, and it will be beheaded all over the house. ”

"It turned out that you wrote the letter, you really shouldn't have written this letter, I heard that after someone spread the news to Kaifeng Mansion, Kaifeng Mansion secretly sent people to block the junction of our Weihui Mansion and Kaifeng Mansion, and no one was allowed to enter or leave."

"What? Why is that? At that time, everyone said so quickly to prevent Guo Dan from entering Weihui Mansion, they were crossing the river and demolishing the bridge! ”

"Not to mention Kaifeng Prefecture, the same is true of other state capitals, they can't intervene, and they are afraid that our situation here will spread to them, so they can only choose to do so."

"Aren't we the turtles in the urn?"

"By the way, our distress letter has been gone for so long, and there is no response at all."

"Why not, the court's reply is to find Guo Dan."

"That's... Then quickly find Guo Dan, whether this is good or bad, there must be a result, otherwise, this will be a problem sooner or later. ”

"I have already sent someone to inquire, but Guo Dan doesn't know where he is now?"

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other.

Where did Guo Dan go?

Don't talk about them, now the imperial court is also looking for Guo Dan all over the world.

The ministers played one after another, asking the imperial court to quickly let the government return to Weihui Mansion and control the situation, otherwise, it would cause chaos.

For this reason, Wanli also held the noon dynasty today.

Imperial Palace.

"How can this big living person say that if he can't see it, he won't see it?"

Wanli swept his eyebrows and asked.

The ministers were silent.

They all know where Guo Dan is, your emperor must know best, this matter was originally colluded by you, your emperor wants to hide someone, how can we find it, Dongchang and Jinyi Wei are all in your hands.

Seeing that they were silent, Wanli couldn't help but snort, pointed at them and said: "You people, open and close your mouths are the words of a saint, don't you know that this saint is the most honest, and you will accuse others, but you never obey it."

Since everyone has decided to let Guo Dan take over Weihui Mansion, they should keep their promise and support Guo Dan, but what about you? Hmph, it's all about yang and yin, all of them are playing some tricks below, who instigated those scholars, do you think I really don't know? He also said that the tooth merchants were treacherous, and I think you are more than that. ”

"Your Majesty."

Jiang Yinglan suddenly stood up.

"Shut up!"

Wanli scolded angrily, and said: "I told you today, I will never change my mind until I find Guo Dan, and you don't want to use such despicable and shameless means to force me to compromise, this matter is your fault, you should be responsible, this matter will be discussed here for the time being, retreat from the dynasty." ”

With that, he got up and left.

Leaving behind a group of stunned ministers, this is definitely the shortest court meeting in history.

Wanli is not false at all.

He knows the situation in Weihui Mansion well, he knows that public opinion is already changing, so let's just consume it, anyway, it's all your family's food, what's my business, if you don't take the food out to save it, it's you who scolds you.

All in all, Wanli will never transfer food to the rescue.

The ministers suddenly ran out of words, and they didn't expect that Guo Dan would disappear, Guo Dan disappeared, and the court did not send food to the rescue, so the responsibility was all on the head of the scholar.

At the same time, the official mansion of Weihui Mansion was evacuated, and the army was controlled by Wanli, and what they did not expect was that the army would secretly encourage those people to rob the landlord's grain.

This is very deadly.

At this time, I will reason with the people and let them not rob them, then who is really talking about who will die, and the people will see that your landlord is unwilling to provide food to help us, and at the same time the army is helping us, then of course they are all interested in the army, this milk is the mother.

Now the officials of Henan Province do not dare to play to the court anymore, they are afraid that Wanli will use this trick on their heads.

Now the only way is to find Guo Dan.

However, what they didn't know was that Guo Dan would never let them find out, how could they be allowed to grab the credit, he would take the initiative to appear on his own.

After receiving the secret letter from Weihui Mansion, Guo Dan and the others left Fucheng and went all the way south to Huaxian County, which was close to Weihui Mansion.

"Captain Guo, this is Wei Hui's Mansion in front of this."

The chief of the guard pointed to the front and said lightly to Guo.

Guo Dan nodded and said, "Tell everyone, change all your clothes." ”

"Yes."

Soon, those guards changed into bright brocade uniforms, including Yang Feixu.

Guo Dan, Zhu Yihua, and Xu Jirong also put on very gorgeous costumes.

"Hee-hee, I'm finally going to start pretending."

Xu Jirong rubbed his nose and said excitedly.

Guo Dan said: "You are right, this time we must pretend to be a big force." ”

Xu Jirong said: "Then what are you waiting for, let's go quickly." ”

"Don't worry, don't worry, it's all hungry, no matter how handsome we are, they won't appreciate it, there is no food, but it's hard to pretend to be forced." Guo smiled lightly.

"Grain?"

Xu Jirong was stunned.

Zhu Yihua suddenly looked at the south and said, "It's coming, it's coming." ”

Xu Jirong looked back and saw a caravan coming this way, and heard a bell from the east, only to see a caravan appear in the east, and another caravan appeared in the southeast.

After a while, these three caravans came to Guo Dan and converged into a long line, and there was no end in sight.

Guo said lightly: "Change all your clothes." ”

"Yes."

Everyone clasped their fists and said in unison.

Apparently they are not businessmen.

Xu Jirong said excitedly: "Could it be that they are also ......." ”

Zhu Yihua smiled and said, "Yes, they are all my emperor's brother's pro-army. ”

Xu Jirong looked at the carload of goods again and said, "What is it on it?" Without waiting for Guo Dan to answer, he hurriedly stepped forward, took down a piece of oilcloth, and immediately took a breath of cold air, "A lot of copper coins, a lot of food!" ”

It turned out that the car was loaded with boxes of copper coins and small bags of grain wrapped in white cloth.

"Old K, what are you trying to do?" Xu Jirong looked at Guo Dan curiously.

Guo smiled lightly: "I want them to understand a truth, aside from the economy, talking about etiquette and law, that is to play hooligan, only when they are rich, people will pay attention to their words and deeds, and will abide by the etiquette law." ”

"Not necessarily."

Yang Feixu said suddenly: "At least you can't see it in the three of you." ”

Guo Dan, Zhu Yihua, and Xu Jirong suddenly looked embarrassed.

"When it comes to destroying the atmosphere, if you call it second, I don't think anyone dares to call it first."

Guo Dan rolled his eyes helplessly, and ordered: "Hang the flag." ”

"Yes."

Soon, a vertical flag was hung on a long flagpole with the words ---I heard that you don't welcome me?"

Signed: Guo Dan.

PS: Xiaoxi wishes everyone a happy New Year's Day, good health, and all the best.
