Chapter 198: Confrontation
"You said that Bu Xiancheng also started to move?" In Wang Jiaxuan's excited and incoherent words, Fan Ming caught some information, and Bu Xiancheng began to be nervous.
"That's right, he doesn't have any businessmen on it, in fact, the pawn shop in the west of the city is what he asked his brother-in-law to take care of, he can hide it from others, but he can't hide it from me!" The more Wang Jiaxuan spoke, the more excited he became, "Not to mention Bu Xiancheng, it is the Xie master bookkeeper, who also pulled out at least ten carts of green and white salt today, and wanted to disperse them to various businesses in the city, it seems that he can't hold back." ”
Fan Ming took a deep breath, through this thunderous counterattack, it seems that Wang Zhixian has won this silent battle.
Hearing this, Fan Ming couldn't bear it anymore, and after asking Wang Jiaxuan about the details, he made an appointment with him to meet again tomorrow and walked straight to the direction of the county office.
Since Wang Zhixian has already done it, he must also use the knife in the Yamen system, although he has been dismissed from his post by Master Xie, but no one has officially notified him, instead of waiting for news here, it is better to simply go back to Wang Zhixian to fill the scene.
Sure enough, when Fan Ming arrived at the county office, the county office, which was usually not very lively, became even more deserted, and the yamen officials and subordinates who used to walk through the carp were all gone, and when I asked the miscellaneous servants at the door, I knew that they were all gathered in the backyard at this time, saying that the county magistrate was talking.
Today's county government is very familiar to Fan Ming, just like walking in his own backyard, because he is also a familiar face, no one in it deliberately stopped him.
Looking for the corridor and walking to the backyard of the yamen, I heard a rather fiery voice from afar, "Lord Wang, this is not in accordance with the norm, this transfer, the people of Chuqiu are all panicked, disturbing the people and hurting money, not to mention, just all kinds of businessmen have suffered a lot of damage, my Chuqiu has not been prosperous in business for many years, so isn't it even more unbearable?" ”
Hearing this voice, Fan Ming's footsteps stopped, the owner of this voice didn't need to look at it to know that it was Bu Xiancheng, and the Wang in his mouth must be Wang Zhixian needless to say, and he had the impression that Bu Xiancheng usually tried to avoid face-to-face with Wang Zhixian, and this time he dared to ask Wang Zhixian with this kind of temperament, it seems that this time he was really forced to be anxious.
Then the gap in the inner wall, Fan Ming glanced at the courtyard, there were nearly 20 of the old officials and errand servants in the county, but their expressions were a little solemn, only Bu County Cheng was in the first place to 'confront' Wang Zhi County.
In the face of such a strong Bu Xiancheng, Wang Zhixian's face was terrifyingly dark, Fan Ming couldn't help but worry about him, except for the identity of this chief official, he didn't have the slightest advantage here, if Bu Xiancheng was in trouble, it would really not be pleasing to him.
At this moment, the magistrate of the county, who had always appeared in front of everyone with a kind attitude, suddenly became solemn, and the momentum of the official on his body was particularly obvious, and his eyes were sharp, "Bu County Cheng, don't forget your identity, this county is the chief official of Chuqiu." ”
Everyone understands who Wang Zhixian's thunderous actions are aimed at this time, but they didn't expect the county magistrate to become so tough, and even Bu Xiancheng himself was startled, when did this wilted Zhixian change a person, Wang Zhixian drank it like this, and then he suddenly woke up to realize that his identity was still just a county official, according to the law of the Great Song Dynasty, if he was disrespectful to Shangguan, he could be convicted of contempt for Shangguan, Bu Xiancheng was shocked into a cold sweat on his back.
Perhaps he has been acting in Chuqiu County for a long time, and Bu Xiancheng has forgotten his proper etiquette, so he coughed twice to hide his embarrassment, "Don't blame me, my lord, the old man is also worried about Chuqiu's future, but this matter should be discussed." ”
Seeing that Bu Xiancheng admitted his mistake, the officials behind him became more and more panicked, and they all sighed in their hearts, even Bu Xiancheng bowed his head, and now Chuqiu County Mansion may really change the sky.
"Bu County Cheng." Wang Zhixian's eyes were as fast as lightning, as if he had pierced Bu Xiancheng's eyes, "Don't you think that I am doing this to get along with the people of Chuqiu." His eyes swept over the officials behind him, and continued: "This county is for Chuqiu's parents, and what he does is to seek the welfare of the people, is there anything wrong?" ”
Bu Xiancheng came back to his senses from the previous fright, but his brows were still furrowed, this time the incident was really a little beyond his expectations, but despite this, he could only meet it head-on, otherwise his 'authority' within this yamen was afraid that there would be a crisis, "My lord, having said that, but the well-being of the people is about the long-term, and it seems that it is useless to work hard for the people?" ”
"The price of salt in Chuqiu has risen several times before, and the people are full of grievances, and there is a private fight for private salt in the Huangkushan area, and more than a dozen villagers have died.
"Uh...... I've heard about this, but what does it have to do with this time? Bu Xiancheng beat the drum in his heart, this time Wang Zhixian really came prepared, it seems that this time it is really going to be planted.
Wang Zhixian snorted coldly, "As far as I know, this salt disaster was deliberately caused by someone, and the mastermind is under the jurisdiction of this county......
Bu Xiancheng was shocked in his heart, secretly thinking that this Wang Zhixian didn't want to take this opportunity to attack himself, and after thinking about it and confirming that there was no handle left outside, his heart really let go, and he made up his mind: "Is there really such a thing?" Do you know who this person is? ”
"Maybe it's a certain merchant in Chuqiu, maybe it's a certain squire, maybe it's a ......" Wang Zhixian sneered, deliberately paused for a moment, and glanced at everyone again with his sharper and sharper gaze, "Maybe it's between you." ”
Wang Zhixian's glance swept over, and immediately made everyone below shiver, from Wang Zhixian to Chuqiu for nearly a year, they really realized that Wang Zhixian was far from the ordinary 'kind' he looked like before, but an extremely powerful person.
At this time, not only the other officials were a little silent, but even Bu Xiancheng retreated a little, and took a step forward in Master Xie, who saw that the situation was not good, and said, "I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding in this matter, but what rumors have you heard?" ”
Wang Zhixian didn't answer, the 'strong color' on his body seemed to have disappeared a lot, and he smiled: "This time the sudden labor mobilization of the public is useless to inform everyone, it is really a last resort, and I ask you to work together to calm down this salt disaster this time." ”
Wang Zhixian's words seemed to be said with all the officials, but in fact, everyone understood that this was a warning to Bu County Cheng not to act rashly, and no one dared to say anything after looking at Bu County's pale face, just waiting for the end of this 'confrontation', and at the same time thinking about whether the next step was to look at the situation to find a way back for himself.
