Huang Li suddenly laughed wildly, Wu Song and Xu En were surprised for a while, they didn't understand why they dared to be so fearless and laugh loudly when this thing was exposed. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Xu En shouted angrily: "Are you crazy? If you don't answer what the official asks you, what are you laughing at? ”

"Hahaha!" Huang Li's wild laughter turned into a sneer and a cruel smile, and said: "Xu En, I laugh at you for coming to a disaster, and you are so self-defeating and stupid!" Ha ha! Ha ha! ”

Wu Song couldn't help but want to knock his chin off again, so that he couldn't laugh. However, at this time, I still had to ask him what to say, and seeing that he was rude to Xu En, the magistrate, he kicked him in the crook of the knee again, forcing him to kneel on the ground, and shouted: "Say! What other conspiracies do you have against Xu Zhixian? ”

Huang Li said proudly: "It's okay to tell you!" Xu En, you don't know yet, do you? The minister will be in Qinghe County tomorrow! ”

Hearing the words "Minister of the Imperial Mission", Xu En was suddenly taken aback and said, "What Minister of the Imperial Mission?" How could the imperial court suddenly send a minister to Qinghe County? ”

Huang Li sneered: "The minister sent by the imperial court this time is Lord Chen He Chen!" ”

When Xu En heard this, he was immediately shocked again.

Wu Song was very unfamiliar with the name Chen He. He recalled carefully, as if he had never heard of this person in his memory. It seems that in "Water Margin", it is only written that a court official named Chen Yu, after Song Jiang and Liangshan heroes accepted Zhao'an, they fought in the south and the north, and conquered the prefectures and counties, and handed them over to him to pacify and govern.

It is recorded in the history books that Chen Yu once served as a counselor and bluntly criticized Cai Jing, which led to Cai Jing being demoted for a time. Therefore, this Chen Yu can also be regarded as a virtuous official.

So, are Chen He and Chen Yu the same person?

Wu Song didn't understand at this time, but Xu En knew that although these two people knew each other and were officials in the same dynasty, they were not the same person.

Although Xu En is only a local official, the so-called mountain high emperor is far away, and he can't know all the things in the court, but he still knows the name Chen He.

This is because Chen He is supervising the imperial history and the imperial history in the palace, and not only has the right to supervise hundreds of officials, but also can supervise the eunuchs and attendants in the court palace, which shows the emperor's trust in him. And Chen He himself is known for being upright and outspoken, and he dared to openly oppose some of Cai Jing and Tong Guan's practices in the court, and even Tong Guan and Cai Jingjing were a little jealous of him.

At this time, the emperor sent him out to serve as the minister of the Qin Mission, and he must have come to Qinghe County for his own considerations.

Does this show that although the current emperor reuses Cai Jing and Cai Jing presides over the reform of the law, in fact, he still has suspicion of Cai Jing, and reuses Chen He, who dares to openly oppose Cai Jing, to contain Cai Jing?

In this regard, Xu En did not dare to assert. However, what he can be sure of is that when Chen He came to Qinghe County, if he found that the yamen here was actually besieged by tens of thousands of villagers, then Xu En would definitely be held accountable for his lack of governance.

Villagers rallied and demonstrated, waving slogans against the reform of the law. If this scene is seen by Chen He, Chen He will definitely report to the court accordingly, saying that the change will not be supported by the people.

That will also be a heavy blow to the entire reform plan led by Cai Jing.

Once the emperor decided that Cai Jing's reforms would be difficult to implement at the local level, then Cai Jing's position and power would also be weakened.

In that case, not only will the imperial court hold Xu En accountable for his mismanagement, but I am afraid that Cai Jing will not let him go.

Xu En thought about this, although he was usually calm and decisive, he couldn't help but look uncertain for a while.

Wu Song saw it in his eyes and knew that this matter must be more tricky. Although he didn't know what kind of person Chen He was, he naturally understood that the minister of the Qin mission came all the way to meet tens of thousands of villagers besieging the yamen, which was definitely not a good thing for Xu En.

He grabbed Huang Li and asked, "You nonsense!" The minister sent the minister to Qinghe County, why didn't he even know about the magistrate, you knew first? ”

"Haha!" Huang Li still sneered proudly, mocking Wu Song for not understanding anything.

Wu Song only came to Qinghe County, especially when he crossed over, and he really didn't know a lot about the local political ecology. But after all, he is also a quick-thinking person, and he immediately realized that when the minister came to Qinghe County, Xu En, as the magistrate, didn't know, but Huang Li, who was the chief bookkeeper, knew first, which was actually normal.

The collusion between officials and businessmen has been the same since ancient times. It is in the pre-era that all the big local capitalists and tycoons often have the support of high-ranking officials behind them.

The richest man in Qinghe, like Zhang Dahu, will naturally make friends with power behind him, and there are big officials who secretly support him. Otherwise, how could he be the king and hegemon in Qinghe County, control the entire yamen for a long time, and ignore the county!

The so-called no one in the court is not an official, in the small Qinghe County Yamen, behind the county magistrate Xu En is Cai Jing, behind the county Cheng Jiang is Cai Bian, and behind the confidential Ma Kui is Tong Guan, then, behind the Huang Li, which is the main book, there is also the support of senior officials in the imperial court, which is normal.

In the small Qinghe County Yamen, it seems that some local officials such as the magistrate, the county official, the chief bookkeeper, and the secret are presiding, but in fact, it is still those big officials in the court who are wrestling their wrists behind their backs.

Perhaps, this minister named Chen He is Zhang Dahu and Huang Li's backers in the imperial court. He came to Qinghe County to inspect, and he didn't notify the county magistrate Xu En, but he first revealed the news to Zhang Dahu and Huang Li, which is not unusual.

Wu Song was originally a brave and chivalrous person, and he didn't know much about the intrigue in officialdom, but this does not mean that he has no political acumen.

In his mind, an inference was quickly formed: Zhang Dahu chose to suddenly incite and coerce so many villagers to besiege the county government today, because he had long known that the minister was coming.

Zhang Dahu wanted to let the minister of the Qin Mission see with his own eyes the scene of the villagers besieging the yamen and opposing the change of the law. In this way, Xu En, the magistrate, can't get off the stage and can't deal with it!

This trick is very poisonous!

Until now, Wu Song has never seen this Zhang Dahu, who is known to everyone in Qinghe County, but now, he has really felt that this guy who forced Pan Jinlian to marry Wu Dalang in his previous life "Water Margin", which eventually led to Wu Dalang being poisoned, and Wu Song was forced to kill Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing to avenge his brother, is indeed a very powerful character!

Earlier, Xu En seized the post of county consolation, purged the officials in the yamen on a large scale to control the entire county yamen, intensively deployed law reforms, and even sheltered Wu Song to beat Huang Li, which seemed to be smooth sailing, pressing step by step, and snatching the Qinghe County Yamen from Zhang Dahu's secret manipulation little by little.

In this process, Zhang Dahu has never seen any countermeasures, and it seems that he, as a tyrant in Qinghe County, has nothing to do about Xu En, the magistrate.

But it turned out that this guy had already deployed a big deal in secret. If you don't make a move, it's enough, and as soon as you make a move, you will make Xu En lose and have no power to parry!
