Chapter 170: Yang Jie felt bad
Yang Jie didn't sleep well enough last night, I don't know why, he always felt a little irritable, and even the two delicate concubines around him couldn't make him feel at ease, and didn't make him feel happy and happy.
He didn't lift it last night, which made him wonder if he was really old.
He didn't know where the irritability came from, maybe he had been thinking too much about that huge fortune lately. He is hell-bent on getting more money and then making him the richest man in the real Yang County.
As for why he said that he was worthy of the name, that was in his heart, and he actually wanted to be on par with the Li family in Yang's County at the beginning. He believes that at least 10 million family fortunes and two or three thousand slaves in the family can be regarded as a real rich family.
He himself knows very well that the reason why he can show his head in Yang's County is because of his usual low-key forbearance, as well as the relationship between those real big landlords and rich people in Yang's County who were wiped out first by the Yellow Turban thieves. If you really want to say it, the wealth he has obtained now is less than one-tenth of that of the big landlords and tycoons of the past.
Now, he not only has to use the surplus grain in his hand to get a large amount of money, but he is also seizing the time to seize the houses in Yang's county town that have no owners, etc., and transfer those ownerless houses to his own name, and also use the convenience of his county order to encroach on a large amount of land.
These are all done by him and the lord Bo Li Mao, even other landlords and tyrants, and they don't know much. Because those short-sighted guys have never asked about the affairs of the government, and they don't know that they can do so many things through the convenience of their own government officials.
Some of the documents in the original government were destroyed when the Yellow Turban thieves captured the official office, so many of the materials filed by the government have been lost.
In this way, as long as there are no documents for the record in the government, for example, the ownership of a certain house is recorded, and the ownership of some land around Yangshi County and so on. If the government loses these archived documents, then he can draft another document to bring the houses and land to his own name.
Of course, it is also necessary to know whether the owner of the house and land is no longer there. If he is still alive, then he can't mess around, the main thing is to encroach on the land of those ownerless houses.
These things are hidden from him, and even the other landlords and tyrants don't know about them for the time being.
In fact, the houses and land that Yang Jie has now occupied. It is enough for him to become the real richest man in Yang's County. If Yang's County returns to normal life and production order in the future, his benefits will be even more.
Because, now he has the right to own and use the land. If other people wanted to resume production, they had to pay land rent and taxes to him, the landlord.
However, because the government had an order to reduce the land rent and tax for one year, this also made him feel uncomfortable. Because this is another benefit that will not be available for the time being.
Well, in his eyes, whether it is a house or a land, it is a tool to collect wealth for him, and not being able to obtain money and wealth at this time makes him feel uncomfortable.
Early this morning, he woke up in a daze and pushed away a concubine who was crooked on his body.
No matter how beautiful this woman is, she is so powerless, and she sticks it on herself, which makes him even more ashamed.
There was a rush of footsteps.
"Lord Prefectural Order! Lord Prefectural Order! Oh no, no, no! ”
Suddenly, there was a scream like a pig killing outside.
Yang Jie shuddered, and he almost didn't stand firm when he got out of bed.
"Who! What's wrong with the early morning? What bad luck! ”
"Your Excellency! Outside the county government, many people came, and they seemed to be going to surround our county office. ”
"What? What's going on? They want to rebel? Yang Jie's face changed, and he turned pale all of a sudden.
A lesson from the past, the government of Yangshi County was smashed and robbed by some mobs. Could it be that this is the case now?
"The Yellow Turban Thief?"
Yang Jie hurriedly asked again.
"No, it's not...... They didn't have yellow scarves on their heads. ”
"Quick! Gather our men and horses, and quickly send people to inform other officials, so that they can drive them over. Protect the county government! When Yang Jie heard that it was not the Yellow Turban Army, his heart suddenly felt a little relieved, and the first thing he thought of was to transfer their men and horses to protect him.
Within the county seat, there are a total of four main city gates. It is divided into four main gates, southeast, northwest and northwest. Inside each of the main gates, there will be a military camp.
These barracks are actually similar to Wang Bao's barracks. After Yang Jie and the small and medium-sized landlords and tyrants of Yang County united to control Yang County, their men and horses have been occupying these military camps. The military camp in the south of the city was only later vacated for Wang Bao.
The county lieutenant occupied the military camp in the north of the city, and there were 200 officers and soldiers stationed there. Of course, now that Suo Qi is dead, more than 70 of the 100 officers and soldiers have joined Liu Xian's Liu Mansion caravan, and the remaining more than 10 people are still stranded in Wang Bao's military camp. In addition, dozens of people were sent to keep an eye on Liu Xian, and people were left to guard the military camp and the north gate of the city. Therefore, these two hundred officers and soldiers are actually equivalent to no one.
In addition, within the county office, there are 100 Yang Jie's cronies and guards. The remaining two barracks were each home to about 200 men.
Those people of Yang Jie in the county government were the first to assemble.
The rest of the people and horses will only rush over after receiving Yang Jie's order.
In order to beware of the impact of the people who are gathered outside the county office. Yang Jie hurriedly let his 100 men and horses stay in front of the county office, preventing those people from breaking into the official office.
These 100 men and horses are fully armed, with strict swords and guns, and the front of the county government is guarded.
Fortunately, Yang's County is really not big, and the actions of the people in the county on this day are really too big, and it has already alarmed those landlords and tyrants in the city.
It didn't take long for Yang Jie and his men to rush to the county office, including the various officials who rushed to hear the news, that is, those landlords and tyrants.
Slowly gathered the people in the county government from all over the county, and they did not have any conflicts with Yang Jie and them. When they encountered those people who came out of the county government or drove from other places, the people did not stop them. Even, some Yang Jie and his men scolded some people, but the people didn't pay attention to them, but just gathered at the county government regardless of it.
Those Yang Jie's men and horses originally wanted to drive those people away, but seeing so many people together, they didn't dare to mess around.
In this way, the situation is a little strange, both sides are centered on the county government, rush to each other here, and then hold each other, but there is no conflict.
There was no conflict, but this was also specifically mentioned by Liu Xian when he asked Li Yuan and Gao Zhang to notify the people of Yang's County to act. Let them not have to clash with Yang Jie's men and horses, because if there is really a conflict and a fight, this is not the business of ordinary people, but the matter of Wang Bao's two hundred officers and soldiers and the hundreds of people in the Liu Mansion caravan, in fact, the main thing is the matter of the hundred or so people in the dark camp led by Huang Wudie.
Let these people come together, one is to let them witness how Yang Jie, a county commander like Yang Jie, was ousted, and the other is to create a momentum, so that the people of Yang County can experience it firsthand, and let them feel the power of this masses. Let them understand that as long as they are not afraid, as long as they are organized, disciplined, and follow orders, then they can fight against it, even if it is a powerful force.
At this time, it didn't take long for Wen Shen and Wang Bao to come to the county office.
Suo Qi is dead, so these officials of the county government, except for Yang Jie, the county order, are Li Mao, the main man, who can barely talk to Wen Shen and Wang Bao on an equal footing.
In terms of authority, other officials actually only covet the title of government officials, and in fact do not have much power. In front of the official office, other officials were not qualified to say anything to Wen Shen and Wang Bao.
And it is impossible for Yang Jie to come out in person, so only Li Mao presides over the affairs of the people outside in front of the county government.
But Li Mao had never experienced such a formation, and his heart was very empty at this time.
But he thought that there was Yang Jie behind him, and there were thousands of people who had rushed to the county office, and his courage was stronger.
When he saw that the county Cheng Wenshen and the county lieutenant Wang Bao came to the official office with so many people, he immediately stood up and stopped in front of Wenshen and Wang Bao.
"Wen County Cheng, Wang County Lieutenant, are all the officers and soldiers behind you? Are they all here to protect the county government? If so, then it came at the right time, these people don't know why, they are gathered around this county office, now please disperse them. ”
Li Mao didn't immediately think of Wen Shen and Wang Bao's intention to come with so many people, nor did he think about the relationship between Wen Shen and Wang Bao and these people. Although he also felt that something was wrong in his heart, he still held on to the words of fantasy and hope.
"Humph!" Wang Bao snorted coldly and said coldly to Li Mao: "What do you say? These are the people of Yangshi County, they didn't do anything when they came here, what did they drive them for? Could it be that this county government belongs to your family, so ordinary people can't come? ”
Li Mao's face changed when he heard this, and he said to Wang Bao with a dark face: "Wang Bao County Lieutenant! What do you mean? ”
"It doesn't make sense, these people, they come as they like, that's their freedom, why should we drive them away? Did they come to kill or set fire? Wen Shen said in a stern tone at this time: "Master Li Mao, you are just right here, now, you go to fight Yang Jie's county order and ask to come out, there are some orders about Yang Jie that need to be read out by the government above." It just so happens that there are so many witnesses here, so let's take it as a reading. ”
"What? Did the government from above give an order about the prefectural magistrate? Why didn't you say it earlier yesterday? Why say it now? ”
"Nonsense! This is an order delivered by the government above overnight. Wen Shen refuted unceremoniously.
"I don't believe it! This is your conspiracy, sooner or later, do you have to come at this time? What are your intentions? What is the order given to our prefectural magistrate? Li Mao really felt bad, and couldn't help but ask with red eyes.
"Humph! Li Mao, are you trying to disobey the orders of the government above? Are you trying to rebel? Wen Shen was really angry now, raised his hand and pointed at the people behind Li Mao who were guarding the county government and said, "What are you doing here?" Where did so many centaurs come from? In the entire Yang County, there are only 400 officers and soldiers, and you sent 100 officers and soldiers to 'protect' Wen, except for the 200 officers and soldiers of Wang Bao County Lieutenant behind us, you only have 100 officers and soldiers, who are they? Are you trying to gather a crowd to rise up, to rise up, and to prepare for a rebellion? ”
"Uh...... You, you're biting back...... These, these ......" Li Mao was a little speechless by Wen Shen's questioning, and couldn't find a better excuse for a while, the people behind him were the private soldiers of these landlords and tyrants, but what qualifications did they have to have so many private soldiers? Is this an attempt to rebel? Such a big hat is buttoned down, if it is fastened, then it is a big deal. If it doesn't work out, his Li Mao's entire family will suffer.
At this time, Liu Xian listened to Wen Shen's words in the back and couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.
Liu Xian appreciates Wen Shen the most, he has no other abilities, but he is still more flexible in dealing with some situations temporarily. At least, there are two official words, how to say it in what situation or situation, this Wenshen really grasps it very well.
Anyway, this guy can scare people.
The truth, in fact, Wen Shen was also forced out. At some point, you have to say that to be calm.
Anyway, these days, he has also learned a lot from Liu Xian. I know a lot of things, and I change when the opportunity comes, and how to say and do it is all up to me.
There were many times when he thought of Liu Xian and persuaded himself with one mouth, and then he was able to get so much food. If he hadn't done what Liu Xian said, then he really didn't know what the situation was now, let alone know, so he could solve so many difficulties so easily.
"Why are you still stunned? Why don't you go and ask Yang Zhuo to come and listen to the envoy read out the orders about him? ”
Wen Shen shouted again.
Li Mao was a little overwhelmed, and Wen Shen was relieved that he didn't continue to entangle the people behind him. He didn't say anything more, lowered his head and turned back to the office.
In the county office, Yang Jie was actually secretly paying attention to the situation outside, and when he saw Wen Shen and Wang Bao coming with so many people, he really felt bad.
At this time, he really felt that things had gotten out of control, and this Yang County was no longer in his control.
Wen Shen's words, he also heard.
Yang Jie also felt embarrassed by this.
Because no matter how you say it, Wenshen has the support of the government above, and whatever he says is what he says. And he is here, although he says that it is a county order, but his own county order only has an effect in this Yang County. Moreover, he has to rely on the support of these horses in his hands to be able to have no scruples.
But when Wen Shen and the others had enough strength to fight against him, and there were so many people together, Yang Jie's heart felt hopeless.
