"Fashan, do you want to hand over Wang He to your second uncle? Then the purpose of our trip, do you also want to tell your second uncle? ”

Li Yu asked cautiously.

Ye Minglei's words in the early morning, coupled with the collusion between Wang He and the county king's main book, made her feel that the current situation in Guancheng was confusing, and there was a kind of calm before the storm!

"Miss Li Yu, take a look at this first! When I came back, I bought it! ”

Ye Fashan shook his head, did not answer Li Yu's question directly, but took out a roll of paper from his sleeve and handed it over.

"What is this?"

Xiao Yu'er took it, and after seeing the content clearly, she couldn't help but show surprise, "Zhengzhou Daily~? Fashan, this... Who is this who is so bold as to print a newspaper privately? ”

Since Li Er sent Yu Shinan and others to review and supervise the content of the "Datang Daily", the "Datang Daily" was officially nationalized, although the imperial court did not issue explicit regulations, but it is an indisputable fact that local states and counties are prohibited from publishing newspapers privately, after all, the imperial court wants to control public opinion!

And now, newspapers and periodicals similar to "Datang Daily" have appeared in Zhengzhou, which is simply appalling! What does Zhengzhou Thorn Shi want to do? Or what does the Cui family want to do?

Ye Fashan said in a deep voice: "You can take a look at the content and then talk about it~!" ”

Li Yu looked down and looked at it seriously, the more she looked, the more surprised her face became, "Datang Daily" has a total of three sections: "Literati Interaction", "Current Affairs News", and "Dahua Jianghu", while "Zhengzhou Daily" only has a section similar to "Literati Interaction", which is full of some Confucian scriptures and articles!

What shocked Xiao Yuer was not this, but the content of those articles:

"When today's son is not in the right position, killing his brother and imprisoning his father, heaven and earth will not tolerate it!"

"The puppet emperor Li Shimin is the blood of the Hu people, messing with the foundation of my Han people, and being punished by people and gods~!"

"Occupying brothers and sisters-in-law, violating human morality, and destroying the norm, everyone in the world should abandon them!"

"The descendants of Yan and Huang, the children of the Han people, should rise up, destroy the tyrants, restore the Gangchang, and return the people to Lang Lang Qiankun~!"

In this article, the title alone is enough to be appalling, not to mention the content inside, Li Yu's body can't help but break out in a layer of cold sweat!

"Fashan, someone wants to incite the people of Zhengzhou to rebel~?"

Putting down the newspaper, Li Yu's face was pale and frightening, and after a while, she looked at Ye Fashan and asked.

She decided to come to Zhengzhou at first, but she thought that Wei Zheng had been retaliated against by some corrupt officials, and she wanted to investigate clearly, but she never expected that the water in Zhengzhou was so deep that someone would rebel, which was to pierce a hole in the sky!

Ye Fashan's face was not much better, his eyes were like electricity, he looked at Li Yu, and said word by word: "It's not that someone is inciting the people to rebel, but in Zhengzhou, with the Cui family, from top to bottom, a coup is brewing!" In the morning, the second uncle asked us not to go out for the next two days, so I guess they must have taken action in the past two days! ”

Li Yu's complexion changed, and she also set off a storm in her heart, "Fa Shan, do you know how long this "Zhengzhou Daily" has been published?" ”

Ye Fashan said with a gloomy face: "I asked the owner of the bookstore, and he said that a month ago, there was a "Zhengzhou Daily" in Guancheng County, and the content in it was decent at first, but later, there were many articles criticizing His Majesty and criticizing the government, all of which were written by famous Confucians in Zhengzhou, and these famous Confucians were often protégés all over the place, which had a great influence. In addition, there were many Confucian lectures in Guancheng County during this month, and all the content of the lectures was critical of the saints.

As the so-called three people become tigers, and the prestige of those scholars among the people has always been quite high, and now many people in Zhengzhou have considerable malice towards the court and His Majesty, as long as there is a little instigation of the people, this group of people will become the vanguard of the family's rebellion against the court! ”

Xiao Yu'er's face was shocked, she staggered back two steps, and said, "If that's the case, then what should I do?" Also, where is Wei Zuocheng now, will he be harmed by them? ”

"I don't know! But I'm going to go to the Assassin's Mansion tonight, time waits for no one, we must find out Wei Zuocheng's whereabouts as soon as possible!" But before I can do that, I have to talk to my second uncle first! ”

"Fashan, do you want to tell Uncle Ye all the purpose of our trip?"

Ye Fashan sighed helplessly and said, "Take a step first, let's take a look!" ”

Xiao Yu'er also sighed sadly, and said: "I didn't expect the old lady of the Cui family to become smart now, last time in Chang'an City, Mr. used the turbulent public opinion to drive the old lady of the Cui family back to the ancestral land of Zhengzhou, and now, the old lady Cui has used his own way to govern others, use public opinion, incite the people, and directly rebel against the court!"

Although rebelling against the entire Tang Dynasty in the land of Zhengzhou is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, they will not have much chance of winning, but these people who are coerced by public opinion, they have to pay the price of their lives for the ambition of the Cui family, and I don't know how many people will die when the time comes~! ”

..........................

In the evening, Ye Minglei came back from the county office, and as soon as he entered the door, he was invited to the backyard by Ye Fashan.

Ye Fashan told Ye Minglei about Wang He secretly going to the county government in the morning to tell the truth.

When Ye Minglei heard the news, his eyes became deep, and after being silent for a long time, he said loudly: "Someone! ”

"Sir!"

At this time, two powerful servants entered, and they bowed down.

Ye Minglei commanded with a cold gaze:

"Drag the river down! Sunken Pond! ”

"My lord spares his life! My lord spares his life! Little mistakes! The little ones don't dare anymore! ”

Wang He was tied up like a zongzi at the moment, and when he heard that Ye Minglei was going to sink him in the pond, he suddenly struggled violently and begged for mercy.

"Bring it down~!"

Ye Minglei was unmoved, and said coldly.

The two servants reacted at this time, and hurriedly dragged Wang He out!

"Sir! The little ones know it's wrong! Spare your life! Spare your life! Hehehehehe! Ye Minglei, if you kill me, you won't live long! The prefectural magistrate and the chief bookkeeper will avenge me! Avenge! ”

Outside the house, Wang He's pleading and vicious cries were getting farther and farther away, at this time, Ye Minglei turned around, looked at Ye Fashan with burning eyes, and asked, "Fashan, you came to manage the city this time, it's not just to visit the second uncle, right~?" ”

Although Wang He was arrested, it was a good thing for Ye Minglei, but the person who arrested Wang He was Ye Fashan, if it was under normal circumstances, how could Ye Fashan follow a house slave, so there was definitely a lot of strange things about it.

Ye Minglei has been in officialdom for a long time, how could he not think of these~?

Under his gaze like substance, Ye Fashan nodded slowly and said, "Second Uncle guessed well!" Fashan is here to manage the city, and it is indeed not just to visit your old man's house! But before telling the truth, I want to ask the second uncle, are you the biggest in the Cui family or the biggest in the saint~! ”

After that, Ye Fashan's eyes stared at Ye Minglei's face without blinking.

Ye Minglei frowned deeply, and his face changed for a while, "Fashan, why do you ask such a question?" ”

"Second uncle, don't hide it from me! Although Fashan doesn't know all about the current situation in Zhengzhou, he still knows some! As an official of the imperial court, you must know that things like "Zhengzhou" are taboo, not to mention the articles on it that instigate the people and rebel against the imperial court!

Now, Fashan wants to know, which side are you going to stand on, second uncle? Is it to go with the flow and betray the court, or to expose the thieves and turn the tide? ”

Ye Fashan said as he took out the newspaper in his sleeve, and Ye Minglei's face suddenly became gloomy.

The little fish next to him was also extremely nervous, if Ye Minglei chose the opposite side of the imperial court, then the two of them would probably die today.

Ye Minglei's face changed for a while, and after a while, he finally spoke: "Fashan, the second uncle can't stand anywhere now!" The old man is just a small county, he has no soldiers and no power, and if he stands on either side, he will end up with the fate of ruining his family! Since you have already guessed some things, the old man will tell you all today!

Since the old lady of the Cui family was repatriated to Zhengzhou in the first month, Wei Zuocheng has carried out a comprehensive picket of the illegal things done by the children of the Cui family over the years in accordance with the holy decree, but the Cui family has been entrenched in Zhengzhou for many years, and it has long been deep-rooted.

But Wei Zuocheng has such a strong personality, how can he tolerate the people below who have been disobedient to him, he relied on the rights granted by the saint to remove the county orders of five county towns in Zhengzhou, and for a while, everyone in Zhengzhou officialdom was in danger!

Just when Wei Zuocheng was about to wave the butcher's knife at the Cui family again, on the fifteenth of last month, a group of mountain bandits near Meishan, with hundreds of people, mixed into the county seat of Guancheng County in batches, and suddenly broke out, injuring thousands of people, and Guancheng County was in chaos! Zhengzhou assassinated Shi Pan Zhenyue, and urgently ordered 6,000 soldiers and horses from the state capital to enter the city and kill the bandits!

After the riots were quelled, Wei Zuocheng disappeared, and the forbidden troops who followed Wei Zuocheng were all killed. ”

Li Yu and Ye Fashan couldn't help but widen their eyes when they heard this, they never expected that so many things would happen in the past few months when Wei Zheng arrived in Zhengzhou!

"Crazy! This group of people is crazy! They dared to collude with the mountain bandits and murder the important ministers of the court! This is a felony against the Nine Clans! ”

Li Yu's eyes were horrified, as smart as her, and she understood almost instantly where those so-called mountain bandits came from, it was nothing more than the Cui family wanted to make Wei Zheng's stumbling block disappear, and deliberately colluded with the mountain bandits to create chaos!

But Wei Zheng is a dignified Shangshu Zuocheng, one of the most relied on imperial ministers of Li Er, and the Cui family dares to do so, which shows that they are ready to rebel against the imperial court!

Ye Minglei shook his head and said, "How can others not see what even Miss Li Yu can see?" How can the old man not see it? But the Cui family is powerful, and together with the Zhengzhou Thorn History, the county seat is blocked, and the news can't get out at all!

This month, Pan Tingshi ordered that the Guancheng County Government organize manpower to set up the editorial department of "Zhengzhou Daily", and the content of the newspaper was written by the doorman sent by him, and the editorial department was only responsible for typesetting and printing.

In addition, they will also send Confucians to various counties to give lectures, preaching that His Majesty is not right, brutal and immoral, not only that, the entrances of Zhengzhou's official roads are guarded by soldiers and horses of the state capital, just to prevent people from going out of Zhengzhou to the capital to inform.

The old man is just a small county, with no soldiers and no power, at such a critical juncture, what else can he do except protect himself? If you rebel against the imperial court with the Cui family, you will definitely end up in ruin, ruined, and wiped out your family!

After all, although the Cui family is powerful in Zhengzhou, it is difficult to compete with the imperial court, and defeat is only a matter of time! But if the old man opposes the Cui family and goes to report to the court, then the whole family of my Ye family will die immediately without a place to be buried!

Therefore, at the moment, the old man can only help no one, and try to shirk the relationship as much as possible if he can shirk the relationship! In this way, even if the court blames him afterwards, the old man will just lose his official hat, but these dozens of people in the Ye family can be spared! ”

Ye Fashan and Li Yu, after hearing this, couldn't help but be silent, it turned out that Ye Minglei, a bystander, although he did not have great power, he had always been like a mirror, and he wanted to see through the situation in Zhengzhou! And what he asked for was very simple, just to save the lives of the family!

"Second uncle, it's not wrong for you to choose Mingzhe to protect yourself at this time, but have you ever thought that when the Cui family really wants to make a move, how can they tolerate a subordinate who wavered on both sides at that time? But whoever achieves a big thing will plan and then act, not to mention the big thing of rebellion, Fashan dares to guarantee that the Cui family will force you to take a stand before the event, at that time, how should you deal with yourself? ”

In the room, after the three of them were silent for a moment, Ye Fashan looked at Ye Minglei and said in a deep voice.

Ye Minglei's face suddenly became extremely ugly, obviously he didn't think of this, perhaps, although he thought of it, he still held a fluke mentality to numb himself, to put it bluntly, he was evading!

"Fashan, you've grown up! But in this situation, what can the old man do? Horizontal and vertical are dead, it's better to delay for a while, maybe there will be a glimmer of life! If you agree to the Cui family now or turn against the Cui family, then there will be no room for maneuver in the future! ”

Ye Minglei said with a painful face.

He is really in a dilemma now, if he stands directly in the camp of the Cui family now, then the court will settle the accounts afterwards, he will definitely not be able to run, if he directly turns against the Cui family, then he will not be able to run now! So in addition to dragging it now, he is still dragging it!

"Uncle Ye, instead of sitting still, it's better to fight hard, maybe there will be a glimmer of life?"

At this time, Li Yu stood up and spoke.

Ye Fashan opened his mouth and wanted to stop it, but Li Yu returned a reassuring look, and then looked at Ye Minglei with a serious face.

Ye Minglei officially looked at Li Yulai at this time, and after a while, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Little Yu'er girl, your identity shouldn't be simple, right~?" ”
