Chapter Seventy-Four: Preparing for Change
Of course, Wu Song could hear the contempt for Fang La in Xu En's tone. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info He knew that this was because Xu En didn't know what kind of person Fang La was. If Xu En, like him, had read "Water Margin" before crossing over, and knew that this Fang La was one of the four great cowards who later disturbed the entire Great Song Dynasty and made the heroes of Liangshan led by Song Jiang also suffer a big loss, he would naturally not be so despised.
At this time, it was inconvenient for him to further explain Fang La's true identity to Xu En, so he changed the topic and asked Xu En for his next strategy.
Xu Endao: "Next, the first thing is naturally to assist the secret envoy of the Prime Minister, seize the "Situ Testament", and dedicate it to the Prime Minister. If the envoy needs our help, we will do our best to help! ”
Wu Song knew that Xu En was grateful to Cai Jing for his promotion, but he still didn't believe that Cai Jing was a traitor, and he was naturally loyal to Cai Jing. Therefore, for Xu En's instructions, he could only be noncommittal and did not speak.
Xu En only waited until he had agreed, and continued: "Secondly, Hu Qin's case, we have to continue to investigate and find out what is going on. If the person who assassinated Hu Qin is really a spy of Master Tong Guan and is lurking in our Qinghe County Yamen, then you must also find out who this person is, but if it is not necessary, do not expose him! ”
Xu En, this is a rat trap. After all, Tong Guan was a celebrity in front of the emperor of the dynasty, and he Xu En, a small magistrate of Qinghe County, could not afford to offend. Wu Song understood his psychology and nodded.
Xu En said again: "Who are the other two masked people, and we must investigate as soon as possible." As for that Fang Jinzhi, I don't think he is a good person, if he dares to dare to compete with the secret envoy of the Prime Minister for strange books, then arrest him and punish him severely. Her subordinates, don't release them for the time being, continue to interrogate them strictly, and see if they have anything else to do with adultery! ”
Wu Song originally wanted to cooperate with Fang Jinzhi to find out who the Tong Guan spy who assassinated Hu Qin and lurked in the Qinghe County Yazhong was, and promised to release Zhejiang Silong who was locked in the cell. However, later, Fang Jinzhi wanted to deal with him in turn, and it was naturally impossible for him to release Zhejiang Silong again.
Besides, according to the records in the "Water Margin" read before the crossing, the heroes of Liangshan, including Wu Song, later accepted the imperial court's recruitment, and would suppress rebellions in various places for the imperial court, and went to attack Fang La, who was rebellious. Due to Fang La's strong strength, the generals under Fang La's command, including the four dragons of Zhejiang, were very powerful, resulting in heavy losses for the heroes of Liangshan, and many brothers were buried under Fang La's hands.
Therefore, if Fang Jinzhi and Zhejiang Silong can be punished now, then in the future, the heroes of Liangshan will naturally lose much less if they go to conquer Fang La.
After crossing over, many situations are changing, which is different from what was written in the previous life "Water Margin", and Wu Song doesn't know whether he will go to Liangshan in the future, and whether he will follow Song Jiang to accept Zhao'an. But for now, it is a good thing to be able to cut off some of Fang La's strength first. He has no good impression of the ambitious Fang La.
It is true that Fang Jinzhi is a big beauty, and she is the kind that Wu Song admired before the crossing. However, she is also a tigress who wants to die. What's more, now is not the time for Wu Song to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade.
Therefore, he promised Xu En: "I will follow the instructions of Lord Zhixian!" ”
Xu En nodded with satisfaction and asked, "You just said that you have already tested Huang Li, and you think that the secret agent who is ambushed by Lord Tong Guan in Qinghe County is not him, so who else do you think is suspicious in the yamen?" ”
Wu Song asked rhetorically: "Does Lord Zhixian know about Jiang Xiancheng?" ”
Before Xu En asked Wu Song if he doubted Jiang Hou, Wu Song did not answer clearly, and now Wu Song asked him in turn. After a little hesitation, Xu En said: "Jiang Xiancheng is also a scholar, if the paper is collected, I can't compare to him." It is said that he is a native of Pei County, and he came here alone as an official, usually steady and cautious, if he is a secret agent of Tong Guan, it is really not like it. What's more, he is a county official, only under the official, and now he is also an important assistant to the official. So, if there is no conclusive evidence, you should not doubt him yet! ”
Wu Song said: "Okay! I'll look it up again! ”
Xu En nodded, his spirit suddenly perked up, and he became more interested, and said, "Wu Song, do you know what Jiang Xiancheng and I were discussing just now?" ”
Wu Song said: "The discussion between the two of you adults is naturally a big matter, how dare Wu Song speculate randomly?" ”
Xu Endao: "You are not an outsider, I was originally looking for you and informing you of the matter." Since that night, the Prime Minister's secret envoy conveyed to me the Prime Minister's instructions to speed up the reform of the law in Qinghe County, I have repeatedly discussed with Jiang Xiancheng, and now the plan has been determined, and the deployment has begun, and the reform of the law will be officially promoted in Qinghe County! ”
When Wu Song heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he was overjoyed.
He knows what it means to officially promote the reform of the law in Qinghe County. That night, he had a conversation with Xu En, and Xu En had already explained to him in detail the plan to reform the law. If you want to formally implement the reform of the law, then, in fact, it means that you have to do something to Zhangjiapu!
In Qinghe County, Zhangjiabao is a tyrant, the stronghold and symbol of localists and conservative forces, and the source of all problems such as land annexation, encroachment by the powerful and powerful, the disparity between the rich and the poor, and the withering of people's livelihood.
Reform, in fact, is to destroy Zhangjiabao! Only by destroying Zhangjiabao can we deal a heavy blow to the localists and other vested interests in Qinghe County, and smoothly promote the reform of the law that is beneficial to the country and the people.
And destroying Zhangjiabao means that Zhang Dahu, whose name Wu Song has only heard of so far, has not seen anyone. Defeating Zhang Dahu can not only give vent to all the Qinghe people who are oppressed by him, but also save Pan Jinlian who is about to fall into his clutches!
saved Pan Jinlian and prevented Pan Jinlian from repeating the fate written in the novel "Water Margin" before the time travel, then this beautiful, filial and kind girl may not become as evil as written in the book, but have a better and happier life.
The fate of Wu Song and his brother Wu Dalang will also change because of this: Wu Dalang will not be forced by Zhang Dahu to marry Pan Jinlian, and Pan Jinlian will no longer have a distorted personality because he was forced to marry Wu Dalang, and finally hooked up with Ximen Qing to murder Wu Dalang, and Wu Song will not kill Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing in order to avenge his brother, and finally be forced to embark on the road of rebellion.
Therefore, whether it is for the people of Qinghe County, or to save Pan Jinlian and change the fate of her, her brother and herself, Wu Song will agree to overthrow Zhangjiabao and bring down Zhang Dahu, and will naturally actively support Xu En's reform of the law.
Although this reform was carried out under the instructions of the traitor Cai Jing, as long as it was truly beneficial to the country and the people, and to the defeat of Zhangjiabao, Wu Song was willing to support it.
Xu En also saw the excitement in Wu Song's eyes, he was very satisfied, and said with a smile: "What, you are also very happy, right?" ”
Wu Song said loudly: "Of course! ”
