Chapter 115: Sudden Laughter
Wu Song keenly observed the situation at the scene and found that the villagers were not immediately instigated, and knew that his strategy of temporarily "wronging" Huang Li and using him as a scapegoat to appease the feelings of the villagers had achieved results.

What about using the yellow calendar as a scapegoat? Anyway, this guy isn't a good guy either.
Judging by what he said out of nowhere just now, today's sudden large-scale demonstration of villagers besieging the yamen is only afraid that it will have nothing to do with him.
While the villagers were still watching, Wu Song said loudly: "Fellow villagers, I will bring Master Huang and this person who secretly instigated and framed everyone into the yamen, and ask the county lord to send it down, and the county lord will definitely give you a satisfactory answer." Also, there are so many people who came to the yamen today, everyone you say a word to me, and the county lord doesn't know who to listen to, you can first nominate a few representatives to collect everyone's opinions, and I will ask the county lord to listen to everyone's opinions in a while! β
After saying that, he dragged Huang Li and the guy who was secretly instigating and retreated to the yamen.
After entering the yamen, he still kicked Huang Li to the ground unceremoniously.
This guy is offended if he doesn't offend, and if Wu Song doesn't offend him, he will also offend Wu Song. That being the case, there is nothing polite to say.
Huang Li was very annoyed and struggled to stand up, but where was he Wu Song's opponent. The person who secretly instigated the release of the word was obviously in the same group as Huang Li, and when he saw Wu Song "bullying" Huang Li, he wanted to come over to help, but he was kicked to the ground by Wu Song again.
He smiled coldly and asked Huang Li: "Lord Bookkeeper, let's talk about it, what is going on with so many villagers suddenly coming to besiege the Yamen to demonstrate today?" β
Huang Li's eyes breathed fire, and his mouth whined. Wu Song then remembered that people's chins were still off, and looking at the saliva flowing like they were disgusting.
So, he reached out and dragged Huang Li's chin and put it hard. Gaba screamed, and Huang Li screamed.
Being able to scream means that his jaw is back in place. As soon as his jaw returned to his position and he could speak, Huang Li shouted angrily: "Wu Song! You...... How dare you openly beat your boss again! You...... If Lao Tzu spares you, Lao Tzu will not be surnamed Huang! β
Wu Song sneered: "Lord Bookkeeper, it doesn't matter if you spare me or not, let's think about it, will the county magistrate spare you!" You won't tell me that it has nothing to do with you that so many villagers suddenly gathered to besiege the yamen today, right? β
Huang Li shouted angrily: "Wu Song, don't dare to do anything just because you have Xu En's support!" Your and Xu Eun's good days are coming to an end! You're nothing but a hillbillyγγγγγγ β
"Smack!" Wu Song slapped another mouth and knocked off his chin.
He dragged Huang Li and the guy who secretly spoke to incite the people, and went straight to the main hall of the yamen.
Xu Enzheng was there while gathering some yamen staff and officials to discuss countermeasures, while anxiously waiting for Wu Song to return. Seeing Wu Song striding over, dragging a person with one hand, he was taken aback. Among the two people who were dragged by Wu Song, one of them was actually the dignified Qinghe County Master Huang Li, and he was even more surprised, and said, "Wu Song, what are you doing here?" β
Wu Song threw the two people he was dragging in his hands to the ground, and said, "Lord Yuzhi County, I have arrested two guys who incited the people to make trouble!" β
Xu En pointed to the yellow calendar and said, "What?" Yellow Calendarγγγγγγ As an official of the Yamen, Huang Zhushu actually incited the people to make trouble? β
Wu Song said: "So many villagers suddenly poured into the county seat and besieged the yamen, there must be someone behind the instigation, and the purpose is naturally to oppose the change of the law and target the magistrate of the county." Now it seems that this master bookkeeper knows the inside story, so you might as well interrogate it yourself! β
As he spoke, he "repeated the old trick" again, twisted Huang Li's chin with both hands, and with a gack, he returned Huang Li's chin to its place.
As soon as his jaw returned to his place, Huang Li endured severe pain, got up from the ground, and shouted angrily: "Xu Zhixian! Wu Song is just a small head that you have promoted unusually, and you have repeatedly beaten your own official, and you don't care about the following crimes? β
Xu En shouted angrily: "Bold! Huang Li, this is above the court, if you shout at this official like this, isn't it the following offense? β
"You γγγγγγ" Huang Li was speechless for a while. "Ouch!" He let out a wail, holding his chin and the pain of his jaw injury.
In normal times, Huang Li is the chief secretary of the Yamen after all, and he is also one of the main officials of Qinghe County, and Xu En is still polite to him in terms of face. But now, Xu En has completely torn off this layer.
He's not a fool after all. With so many villagers suddenly besieging the Yamen, he naturally knew that there must be someone behind him.
Although there is no conclusive evidence of the investigation, as long as you think about it a little, you can guess that so many villagers suddenly gathered to besiege the yamen of Qinghe County and oppose the change of the law, and the purpose is very clear.
In Qinghe County, once the law change is implemented, the one whose interests will be damaged the most is naturally Zhangjiabao.
After the change, if the new law on tea and salt is implemented, it will break Zhang Dahu's monopoly on the local tea and salt trade and cut off a huge way for him to make a fortune. Even, it is possible that the old salt banknotes that Zhang Dahu had gathered before would be wiped out, and Zhangjiabao might go bankrupt.
It is recorded in the history books that after the implementation of Cai Jing's salt banknote law, all the old salt banknotes were not used, and the wealthy merchant Dajia once owned hundreds of thousands of yuan, which once turned into nothing, became beggars, and even went to the water or hanged himself.
With the implementation of new laws such as the Fangtian Law, the county's land must be re-measured and registered, and a lot of land annexed by Zhang Dahu will also have to be spit out, or he will have to pay more taxes, which will also cause heavy losses.
As for other changes, such as the Military Service Law, they will also impact Zhangjiabao's private raising of a large number of domestic slaves, hoarding of private armed forces, and so on. In short, once the reform is implemented, Zhang Dahu will bear the brunt.
What's more, Xu En wants to break the political pattern of Qinghe County being secretly manipulated by local tycoons like Zhang Dahu for a long time, and there are more measures to target Zhangjiabao, crack down on local tyrants, and protect the rights and interests of villagers.
Previously, the chief housekeeper of Zhangfu used to come back to Pan Jinlian in the name of testing Xu En in person, and he already knew that Xu En's intention to reform the law and target Zhangjiabao was already obvious.
Under these circumstances, Zhang Dahu's motive for inciting the villagers to rise up and besiege the yamen to oppose the change of law was the strongest.
In Qinghe County, he is the only one who has the ability to incite the villagers who do not know the truth to besiege the yamen on such a large scale in a very short period of time through various means such as coercion and inducement.
After seeing Wu Song dragging Zhang Dahu's brother-in-law Huang Li over, Xu En confirmed his judgment even more: The black hand behind this sudden demonstration of villagers must be Zhang Dahu.
In this case, the two sides have already tried to meet each other, does he still need to be false and polite to Huang Li?
He took the shocking wood, slammed the table, and shouted: "Huang Li, as an official, you don't want to serve the court, but instead incite the villagers to besiege the yamen, which is really an unforgivable crime!" Is this true, quickly recruit this official from the truth! β
"Hahahaha!" Huang Li suddenly burst out laughing.
