Chapter 166: The mediocre Zhou Zhizhou
These bandits were no match for the well-trained soldiers, and after a while, all of them were knocked to the ground, lying on the ground and wailing. qdian
The fat bandit leader was beaten the worst just now, his entire fat face was beaten into a pig's head, one arm was discounted, he was lying on the ground and rolling in pain, and his mouth kept howling like a pig.
Needless to say, this must be Ma Wu's masterpiece.
He Zhiyuan took a steel knife from a family member, walked up to the fat bandit leader, and stepped on his broken arm. Immediately the fat bandit was about to faint in pain, and his mouth groaned in pain. looked at He Zhiyuan, who was holding a steel knife in horror, and begged: "Little master spare your life, little master spare your life......"
"Not arrogant now?" He Zhiyuan said contemptuously.
"Don't dare, don't dare. The little ones don't dare anymore! The fat bandit pleaded.
He Zhiyuan slammed the steel knife on Fat San's face a few times, making Fat San tremble. kept shouting, "Master spare your life, Master spare your life!" ”
At this time, He Zhiyuan said to him: "Go back and tell your big boss, I will wait for him here." Are you not six hundred? Then give it a try. ”
"The little ones don't dare, the little ones don't dare."
Looking at the declining appearance of the fat bandits, I thought to myself that he was such a fierce and introverted man, still acting in front of the people and running rampant in the township. Unconsciously hatred sprouted in his heart, the steel knife in his hand gently picked up, and suddenly one ear fell off, and blood immediately spurted out, staining half of his face, and then flowing down the ground, immersed in the soil.
The fat bandit screamed in pain, and once again he almost fainted.
Only then did He Zhiyuan put away the steel knife and said to him: "Those who take you, get out of here immediately!" ”
When the fat bandit heard that he was told to get out, as if he had been pardoned, he staggered up, and hurriedly led his men down the mountain as if they had fled.
After walking away, the fat bandit covered his ears with his unbroken arm, and returned his hair and said hatefully: "You wait, go back and let the big boss take the men and horses and slaughter you!" ”
After the bandits descended the mountain, He Zhiyuan immediately arranged for the injured miners to be treated, the coal yard was cleaned, and the work resumed as soon as possible. Then he informed Xu Detian and told the soldiers to be ready to go at any time.
After a hasty lunch, He Zhiyuan took Yan Jihai and several family members to ride down the mountain and went straight to the Yamen of Yizhou.
When they arrived at the gate of the state government, before they could go inside, they were stopped by the soldiers guarding the gate: "Stop, who are you?" This is the state government, and idle people are not allowed to trespass! ”
He Zhiyuan took out the name card and handed it to the soldiers, and said: "I am He Zhiyuan from Hejia Town, who runs three coal kilns in Luoquanzhuang, and this morning was smashed by bandits from Heishizhai and injured the miners. I came to report the case and asked to meet with Lord Zhizhou. ”
When the soldiers guarding the gate heard that it was the matter of the Luoquanzhuang coal kiln, they did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly let them enter the gate of the state government.
After He Zhiyuan and his entourage entered the gate, they did not beat the drum, but walked directly through the lobby and came to the door of the second hall, which is the daily office of Lord Zhizhou, and there is a gatehouse here. If you want to see the Governor of the state, you must report it through the doorman of the concierge.
When Erchang's disciple heard that it was a student from other places who wanted to see the local Zhizhou Lord, his face immediately fell, and he said coldly: "The Zhizhou Lord's affairs in this state can't be managed, so how can he have the leisure to take care of the outside."
The things of the land. Isn't it scolding me to report like this? You'd better go back. ”
Obviously, this is a door bag. In a hurry, He Zhiyuan would not care about this trivial matter with a disciple, so he took out a little bit of broken silver and said: "Please let me know, I have something important to meet Lord Zhizhou." ”
When Menzi got the silver, his face immediately looked much better, and he changed his cold tone, so he said in embarrassment: "Then I'll make an exception and say Lord Zhou, but it's hard to say whether I see it or not." ”
After saying that, he went back to Tongyu.
After a while, Menzi came back and said, "Lord Zhou just woke up from his lunch break, you can go in." He Zhiyuan said in his heart, what kind of Zhizhou is this, he has to take a lunch break in the winter, and he must not be an official who is diligent in government and loves the people.
He Zhiyuan asked a few family members to wait outside, and he and Yan Jihai entered the second hall.
Looking up, there was a man in a green robe sitting in the second hall, this person had sleepy eyes, his eyes were blank, his eye bags were drooping, his body was slightly fat, and he was over sixty years old. Obviously, this is an official who has no hope of promotion and is about to go to Nanjing to get an idle post for retirement, or to go home. The presence of such officials in a place is also the sorrow of the local people.
Although he despised this Zhizhou Zhou Lord n times in his heart, he still had the necessary etiquette. He first stepped forward and saluted: "He Zhiyuan, a student from Juzhou, pays a visit to Lord Zhou. ”
Lord Zhou rolled his eyelids, raised his eyes to look at He Zhiyuan and said: "Juzhou He Zhiyuan, the official has also heard of it, you didn't stay in Juzhou, you ran to Yizhou to find the official, what happened?" ”
After He Zhiyuan heard this, he slandered in his heart, I am a student of Juzhou, can I only stay in Juzhou and not come to Yizhou? Juzhou and Yizhou are both under the jurisdiction of Qingzhou Prefecture, and there is no border outside the prefecture, do you still want to lead the way? In the Ming Dynasty, as long as the people did not leave the palace boundary, they did not need a guide.
Despite this, He Zhiyuan still replied politely: "The student is here to report the case today." The students bought three coal kilns in Luoquanzhuang, and this morning bandits in Heishizhai smashed utensils and injured miners. And they openly extorted silver taels. ”
When Lord Zhou heard this, he didn't care, but said flatly: "The bandits in Heishi Village are all old thieves, and they have been in the Black Stone Mountain for more than two years, and the total number of the officials and soldiers is not as large as these bandits, so there is no way to take them." They just want some money, and it is better for you to discuss it with each other, and not to make trouble. ”
Hearing these words from the mouth of the dignified governor of a state, He Zhiyuan sweated profusely, and there was such a mediocre Zhizhou. Let the people and the bandits have a good life to discuss, and don't make trouble? In this way, doesn't it mean that the officials can also consult with the bandits and get along peacefully? Isn't that a family of officials and bandits? With such a Zhizhou, can the people live a good life?
In the dark table, Lord Zhou, named Zhou Ren, was admitted to the Jinshi in the twenty-third year of Chenghua, and he was nearly fifty years old at this time. When his father, who was nearly 80 years old, heard that his son was admitted to the Jinshi, he was very happy and sad, and his life was in vain. Lord Zhou had to go home for three years, and three years later, the officials of the Ministry saw that he was old and wanted him to go directly to Nanjing to retire. After Zhou Ren heard about it, he found the officials of the ministry, cried, made trouble and hanged himself, and begged the officials to give him a real shortage. Otherwise, after decades of hard study, I finally got into the Jinshi, and I didn't get any benefits, so I went directly to the south
Beijing pension, isn't it an unjust death.
So the officials gave him a magistrate of an inferior county. is also considered lucky, he has served two terms smoothly in office, although he has no outstanding political achievements, but there is no big mess. So the official was promoted to one level and was transferred to Yizhou Renzhizhou. Now that his tenure in Zhizhou has expired, there is no hope of promotion, and the best result is to be promoted by one level and give him an idle post to Nanjing for retirement.
In this case, he can now mix day by day, as long as there is no major incident in his office, he will leave his post safely and go to Nanjing to retire, he will be satisfied.
Yes, he knew that there were bandits in Heishi Mountain two years ago, but he was too lazy to report it, and it was impossible for him to take the officials to suppress the bandits.
In fact, when He Zhiyuan saw Lord Zhou, he had already decided that he could not be expected to lead troops to suppress bandits, and now he could only retreat and find a way to get him to give an order, ordering him to take his family to suppress the bandits. The final result should also be that he verbally promised him to take his family to suppress the bandits. After all, no matter how dazed Lord Zhou is, he is also the governor of a state. Only if he agreed, the operation had legitimacy.
Therefore, He Zhiyuan said patiently: "If Lord Zhou orders, the students are willing to take their families to Heishi Village to suppress bandits." ”
"Bandits?" When Lord Zhou heard these two words, he screamed as if he had been bitten by a cat. Then he felt out of shape again, and said calmly: "How many families do you have?" ”
"The students now have 300 families." He Zhiyuan replied.
"Three hundred people want to exterminate six hundred bandits? You're not dreaming, are you? Master Zhou snorted coldly and said.
In the face of Lord Zhou's ridicule, He Zhiyuan still said patiently: "The three hundred students are well-equipped and well-trained, enough to defeat the bandits!" ”
That week, Lord Zhou snorted coldly again and asked, "You said that your family is well-equipped, how many people are wearing armor and how many horses are there?" ”
He Zhiyuan said honestly: "The students' families are not wearing armor, except for a few leaders, and the others are not equipped with horses!" ”
Master Zhou shook his head, and then asked, "How long have you been training these three hundred families?" I can hear that your He family in Juzhou has made a fortune in the past six months. ”
The meaning of that sentence is obvious, your family has a family for no more than half a year. Isn't it a big joke that such a family member who has not undergone several years of training goes to fight against the old thief, and still wants to win more with less?
He Zhiyuan said lightly: "The long practice took four months, and the short one was less than two months. ”
When Lord Zhou heard this, he laughed and said, "After two months of training, the recruits dare to go to the battlefield to fight against the outlaw bandits, and they have to win more with less?" This official is really worried about those ignorant people who don't know the height of the sky! You have just come to Yizhou and are not familiar with the situation here, so this official advises you to give up this unrealistic idea and discuss it with the big boss of Heishi Village, so as not to cause trouble. If you anger those bandits, they will directly attack Yizhou City, what should you be guilty of? ”
Hearing Lord Zhou's questioning and ridicule, He Zhiyuan said directly: "The students are here, first, to report the case, and implore the adults to send troops to suppress the bandits, if the adults really don't have the troops to send them." The student begged the adult to give the order, and I led the three hundred family members to clear it. Other words, wait for the students to destroy the bandits, or die on the battlefield! ”
