The howls were piercing, and many people wiped their tears from the lively crowd, and the people who rushed to hear the news gathered more and more, asking each other what was going on.

Qin Zixiong heard the crying, came out of the fast class room, looked at the crowd that was gathering more and more, and said softly: "My lord, you can't let things develop, you should call the Su family into the lobby, collect Su Changhe's body, and then invite a few elders of high morality to come in to discuss, and let the others disperse." ”

Jiang Anyi regained his composure, nodded gratefully at Qin Zixiong, and shouted at the sad people in front of the yamen: "Fellow villagers, the incident happened suddenly, I have asked people to buy a coffin to hold the deceased, and this matter will be announced after the official asks the reason." The Su family carried the deceased into the county office, and for the sake of fairness, asked all the villagers to nominate a few elderly people with high morality to enter together, and the others dispersed, not in front of the county office. ”

Wang Xingren secretly screamed that it was not good, and when he entered the lobby, Jiang Anyi would control everything, and coughed dryly.

Lu Xiucai was originally howling, with a few tears, and his eyes were rolling around to look at the situation. He heard Wang Xiancheng's cough and knew that this was a reminder to act according to the plan discussed in advance, so he pretended to wipe his tears and said: "My lord, Jiayue was forced to die, and Su Guoliang, as the eldest son, is in prison, I hope that my lord can release Su Guoliang and let him preside over Jiayue's funeral." ”

Wang Xiancheng hurriedly helped: "Lord Jiang, the deceased is the greatest, let Su Guoliang come out temporarily as appropriate." ”

Jiang Anyi hesitated a little, Su Guoxing stood up, and shouted with red eyes: "My lord, not only do I want to release my eldest brother, but also return my family's silver, and my lord wants to go to the mourning hall to worship my father." Otherwise, we will go to the state capital to file a complaint and rely on adults to force my father to death. ”

Wang Xiancheng secretly scolded, stupid, not enough to succeed and more than to lose. Sure enough, Jiang Anyi's sword eyebrows were raised, and he said in a cold voice: "Bold, you dare to threaten the official with a dead person, your father committed suicide, and he actually dared to frame the official, the official wants to check the account book handled by your Su family, whether there are other loopholes, and use the money from corruption to buy a good reputation, the Su family has a good calculation." If you want to sue, you might as well go, but can you afford the accusation of slander? ”

Su Guoxing's arrogance was stagnant and he didn't dare to open his mouth again. Su Guozhong cried and said: "Folks, my father's bones are not cold, and the adults are pressing each other tightly, this is not a way for the Su family to live." Father, you died so miserably, and your son didn't want to live anymore, so he simply accompanied his father to Huangquan together. ”

As he spoke, Su Guozhong was about to hit the stone lion, but the person next to him hurriedly grabbed him. Someone in the crowd said loudly: "My lord, the old lady of the Su family is dead, please let Su Guoliang go with kindness." ”

A chorus echoed, I don't know who started the head, Wu Yaya knelt down, and said in unison: "Please be gracious, master." ”

Jiang Anyi was very frustrated, he was not as useful as the Su family's small favors for the sake of the people, and the people's hearts were so fickle. Looking at the people in front of him, Jiang Anyi said word by word: "The national law is strict, and personal feelings are not tolerated, Su Guoliang has violated the national law and cannot be released." The official was gracious, and when he came out of the spirit, he was escorted to the funeral by the officials, and after the funeral, he returned to the prison to wait for the verdict. The officials dispersed the crowd. ”

Jiang Anyi turned around and left, leaving behind the crowd of people who were talking, the officials did not carry out his orders, and the people in front of the county government gathered for more than half an hour before they dispersed.

There are rumors in Fuluo County, most of which are rumors that are not conducive to Jiang Anyi: the county commander is a ruthless person; The county order drove Xu Mingyuan away, not for the sake of the common people, but for the property of the Xu family, and the secret room of the Xu Mansion was full of gold and silver treasures; The county order deprived the yamen officials of their money; The county order extorted 10,000 taels of silver from the Su family to release him, but the old man Su couldn't get the money, so he had to die in front of the county yamen......

The rumors spread under the impetus of well-intentioned people, and the occasional voice of refuting Jiang Anyi was also drowned in a reprimand, and ordinary people turned their anger against corrupt officials and corrupt officials on Jiang Anyi, in Fuluo County, the biggest official is the county order.

In the evening, the pavilion of Xufu has been renovated as new. Huang Dongquan carefully told his cousin about the rumors he heard, Jiang Anyi was a little cold and discouraged, and asked Huang Dongquan to sit down and drink two glasses with him. Half-drunk and half-awake, Jiang Anyi got up in a hurry and sang to the sky: "Get up at night in the bitter heat, go upstairs and dress alone." The mountains are condensed in the heat, and the stars are glorious ......"

Huang Dongquan couldn't understand, although he knew a few words with Mr. Zhou, but he was not enough to understand the helplessness and resentment in his cousin's poem, but he could hear the unwillingness from his cousin's words, and remembered his cousin's dedication to the people of Fuluo County Huang Dongquan was a little unworthy of his cousin, and said angrily: "Cousin, these people are so ignorant that they can't even tell the difference between good and bad." According to me, if you catch a few people who chew their tongues and go to jail, these people will naturally live in peace. ”

"Ridiculous", a reprimand sounded from under the corridor, Zhang Keji walked quickly to the pavilion, looked at Jiang An, who was a little out of shape, and shouted angrily: "Lord, Zhang heard that when the lord first met Yu Weng, he wrote the epigram of 'Thousands of blows and tenacity, let Er's southeast and northwest wind', now it is difficult, sad that the creditors in the past came to the door, and it is sad that Yu Fu is studying?" Sad about the desert escape? ”

After asking three questions in a row, Jiang Anyi was shocked and shocked, and seven points of alcohol turned into cold sweat. Putting down the wine glass, Jiang Anyi respectfully saluted Zhang Keji and said, "Mr. shouted angrily, like a morning bell and dusk drum to wake up a lost person, An Yi thanked him." ”

Seeing that Jiang Anyi regained his composure, Zhang Keji smiled and said: "The taste that Qianfu refers to is not pleasant, and Zhang Mou also felt the same way. However, the lord is far better than Zhang, and he should have the courage of 'although tens of millions of people are going', and he smiled at the small difficulties in front of him. ”

Huang Dongquan got up and gave up his seat and held the pot to serve wine. Zhang Keji diverted the topic and said with a smile: "Although the poem that the lord did just now is about the suffering of summer, Zhang Mou read the heart of the people from it......"

is worthy of being a literati, putting aside business, and talking about poetry with great interest, Jiang Anyi interrupted Zhang Keji's words with a wry smile and said, "Mr. Zhang, poetry is a small way, what should be the situation now?" ”

Zhang Keji was obviously very dissatisfied with Jiang Anyi's lack of morality, and said lightly: "The people are ignorant, as long as they live in peace after a while." The lord only needs to calm down, and after Su Changhe is buried, things will naturally subside. By the way, the lord might as well send someone to check the accounts of the previous year first, and seize some of the Su family's handles, so that he is not afraid of being threatened. ”

However, this time Zhang Keji miscalculated, and things seemed to have a tendency to get bigger and bigger, and even Zhang Putian's wife came forward to create momentum, and said sadly that it was Jiang County who ordered Zhang Putian to be killed, and he was murderous, and the family couldn't survive now.

People are always easy to sympathize with the weak, and the people seem to have forgotten how Zhang Putian oppressed them in the first place, and how the Jiang County Order drove Xu Mingyuan away. The Su family's spiritual hall is full of people, and the people of good things regard this matter as a talking point, and they go to listen to Zhang He's cry every day when they have time, take a look at the Su family's spiritual flags fluttering, and then grab a handful of melon seeds and chat, and the conspirators are secretly adding fuel to the fire, so that this evil wind is blowing more and more fiercely.

Feeling that things were a little out of his grasp, Zhang Keji found Jiang Anyi uneasily, and said: "I heard Dongquan say a few times, there are people behind the whole thing who are manipulating, and there are many people in the yamen involved. ”

Jiang Anyi laughed and said: "Mr. advised me to have the courage of 'although tens of millions of people will go to me', why did Mr. himself be cowardly first." Don't worry, sir, An Yi knows it. ”

The gentle and confident smile made Zhang Keji settle down immediately, he didn't want to ask where the lord's confidence came from, just do his duty as a minister.

Jiang Anyi's self-confidence comes from Dong'er. The pressure of public opinion in the past few days made Jiang Anyi frown, and after returning to the bedroom, Dong'er asked thoughtfully, Jiang Anyi said his troubles, Dong'er smiled: "The husband is getting more and more timid, when he faced the Li family in Anqi County, he didn't see his husband have any worries, so the Li family can't compare to the Su family." ”

Dong'er's words evoked Jiang Anyi's memories, at the beginning, the Li family also played the bitter card, sold the shop property, and won the support of public opinion, but Yu Shi saw the move and told the people that the Li family was greedy for the country's money, so that the country had no money to build roads, raise soldiers, and provide disaster relief, and the Li family harmed the country with small interests.

Later, Master Yu told himself with deep feelings: The people's will is fickle and easy to manipulate, and things cannot be done blindly to cater to the people's will. Jiang Anyi remembers asking himself, what should I do? Yu Shi said: "In the distance, it is to see that the final result is beneficial to the people, and in the near distance, it is to cater to the emperor's heart, and the Son of Heaven loves lonely ministers, so he will say that he will take you for the country's loyalty when the ministers hate you." Anyi, you are smart by nature, these truths will inevitably be self-evident in the future, and the teacher will tell you in advance that you should keep your original intention, and don't just be a courtier who caters to the king's heart. ”

Mr. Zhang's "Jane in the Emperor's Heart" is similar to what Yu Shi said, the people's heart is not terrible, the people's heart can be manipulated, the people's heart is also forgetful, the Son of Heaven let himself come to Fuluo County in order to implement the reform of "tax integration into one", and other branches are like spider silk obstacles, which can be swept away.

Jiang Anyi happily hugged Dong'er and kissed him, Dong'er's unintentional words untied his heart knot, everything is not as important as making a villain with Dong'er, this time when I go home, the old lady will talk about it when she has time.

The next day is the day when Old Man Su is buried, the white flags are fluttering, the mourning is poignant, the crying is faint, and the paper money is flying. The funeral procession actually came in the direction of the county government, and along the road, there were people who had received benefits from the Su family bowing to the coffin, and many people took white paper flowers and followed the funeral procession slowly.

The coffin was temporarily housed in front of the county government's wall, and the Su family set up a mourning hall to worship, I don't know who opened it, and the funeral procession shouted in unison: "Please come out to worship Lord Jiang." The Su family wore white scarves, dressed in sackcloth, and held a mourning stick, knelt down in the direction of the county government, and howled loudly.

There was a report from the official to Jiang Anyi, who was working in the second hall, Jiang Anyi stood up and sneered: "Let's go, let's see the excitement." ”
