Xu En's face became even more ugly when he looked at the notice document, and handed the notice to Wu Song. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

As soon as Wu Song looked at the notice, it was as reported by the officials, and the emperor suddenly sent the imperial historian and the imperial historian Chen He to serve as the minister of the imperial mission and inspect the locality, just to inspect the local officials and the reform of the law.

The minister holds the sword of Shang Fang. When you come to Qinghe County, if you see tens of thousands of villagers besieging the Yamen, opposing the reform of the law, and wanting to expel Xu En, it is conceivable that you will inevitably think that the reform of the law will not be supported by the people at all in the local area, and Xu En has no way to govern. In this way, not only will Qinghe County's law change be stillborn, but Xu En will also be strictly held accountable.

Wu Song still lacked understanding of this Chen He at this time, so he didn't know that Chen He was originally incompatible with Tong Guan, Cai Jing and others in the imperial court.

Chen He once publicly exposed to the emperor Shangshu that Tong Guan played with power and brought disaster to the country and the people, although the emperor did not punish Tong Guan for this, but he also thought that Chen He dared to speak out and was a loyal and upright minister.

At the same time, Chen He also had a good relationship with Chen Qiang, the inspector of the Ministry of Rites and the Zuo Si, and Chen He was also a rare upright minister in the Northern Song Dynasty at this time, and in the eyes of later generations, he could even be compared with Yue Fei and Wen Tianxiang.

Chen Qian once resolutely refused to be friends with Cai Bian, and publicly exposed Cai Jing in the court for forming a party for personal gain, misleading the country and the people, which was a thorn in the side of the Cai brothers. As his friend, Chen He naturally hated Cai Jing's privacy.

Therefore, as the minister of the Qin Mission, Chen He will definitely not be polite to Xu En, the county magistrate of Qinghe, who is Cai Jing's protégé.

Once he determined that Xu En was negligent to Qincha and had no way to govern and oppress the people on the grounds that tens of thousands of villagers besieged the Yamen and caused Qin Cha to be unable to enter the city, then it was still a trivial matter to dismiss Xu En's prefect, and it was not impossible to take this opportunity to get rid of Xu En in order to weaken Cai Jing's power.

Although, Song Taizu had an order not to kill civil officials. However, the minister who wielded Shang Fang's sword really wanted to put a civil official to death, and there was a way.

This is also the reason why Zhang Dahu chose to incite and coerce villagers to assemble and demonstrate on the eve of Chen He's arrival to besiege the Yamen.

Zhang Dahu's move is vicious, accurate, and deadly!

Although Wu Song still didn't know the inside story of these political struggles in the court, when he saw Xu En's face, he knew that something was wrong, and the situation was very unfavorable for Xu En.

If Xu En is dismissed, Wu Song will not be able to stay in Qinghe County, then Pan Jinlian will inevitably still fall into the hands of Zhang Dahu, Pan Jinlian wrote in the book of his previous life that he did not obey Zhang Dahu, was forced by Zhang Dahu to marry Wu Song, had a distorted personality under a loveless marriage, hooked up with Ximenqing, poisoned his husband in pursuit of love, Wu Song killed Pan Jinlian and Ximenqing in order to avenge his brother, etc., all this may happen again!

Even if it is not for Pan Jinlian, not to change the fate of himself and his brother, because Xu En is a rare Qing official in this era, he has the grace of knowing Wu Song, and the reform he implemented is beneficial to the country and the people, Wu Song will inevitably share the blessings and woes with him.

However, at this time, in the face of tens of thousands of villagers besieging the yamen who were instigated by Zhang Dahu, Xu En, who had always been calm and composed, was helpless, and Wu Song couldn't think of a good way to completely solve the problem for a while.

"Wudu head!" At this moment, Liu Quan, the old catcher, came and quietly called Wu Song outside the lobby door.

Without the permission of the magistrate, he did not dare to rush into the lobby to find Wu Song. Wu Song hurriedly went out and asked, "What's the situation?" ”

Liu Quandao: "My brothers and I investigated separately according to the deployment of the capital and learned that this time the villagers suddenly gathered, and it was indeed someone who secretly instigated coercion. These people who secretly instigated and coerced the villagers included Golden Peel, Sweet Potato Rat, Headless Snake, and Li Jinlian。。。。。。 ”

Wu Song said: "I already know all this. What's new? ”

Liu Quandao: "We keep in mind the instructions of the capital, and although we have mastered these people who secretly instigate and instigate, we dare not arrest people rashly, so as not to provoke a popular uprising." However, we found a reliable brother and went to the second housekeeper to set it off, and learned from the second housekeeper that this time the villagers besieged the county government, which was planned by Zhang Dahu and the big housekeeper together. Zhang Dahu was originally very dissatisfied with Lord Xu's coming to Qinghe County to expel the local forces of the Yamen and plan to implement the reform of the law, but now for the sake of the woman named Pan Jinlian, he hates Lord Xu even more! ”

As soon as he heard that this matter actually involved Pan Jinlian, Wu Song said: "Pan Jinlian was brought back to the Yamen by me, what does it have to do with the magistrate?" ”

Liu Quandao: "Before, the big housekeeper came to the yamen to pick up Pan Jinlian, but the county magistrate refused, which made Zhang Dahu mistakenly think that Xu Zhixian also took a fancy to Pan Jinlian's beauty and wanted to compete with him for this woman, so he was extremely angry and determined to drive away the magistrate Xu, if Lord Xu did not fall, these villagers besieging the yamen would not disperse, and Zhang Dahu would also instruct his subordinates to coerce more villagers to come!" ”

Wu Song couldn't help frowning, and said, "According to this, unless Xu Zhixian leaves Qinghe County, no matter what he does, these villagers will not disperse?" ”

Liu Quandao: "I'm just afraid of this." Zhang Dahu has always been the overlord of our Qinghe County, although the villagers are exploited by him, no one is not afraid of him. As long as he doesn't let go, these villagers will definitely not dare to disperse! ”

When Wu Song heard that "if Zhang Dahu doesn't let go, the villagers will never dare to disperse", he was angry at first, but then he suddenly felt a light in his head, and remembered a sentence: "To untie the bell, you need to tie the bell!" ”

Since these villagers were instigated and coerced by Zhang Dahu, then, in order to let the villagers disperse as soon as possible, I am afraid that Zhang Dahu still has to open a breakthrough.

Liu Quan's words inadvertently inspired Wu Song. He immediately turned around and walked into the lobby, and found that Xu En was actually discussing with Zhang Xin and others the feasibility of mobilizing troops to disperse and suppress the villagers, and said busily: "My lord, mobilizing the army to suppress the villagers will only lead to more serious consequences, and it must not be!" If you want to disperse these villagers besieging Yamen, you have your own way! ”

Xu Enyi was overjoyed and asked, "Wu Song, what do you mean?" ”

Wu Song thought about it again in his heart, felt that his thoughts should be reasonable, glanced at Zhang Xin and the others, and said to Xu En: "My lord, take a step to speak, let Wu Song be careful!" ”

Xu Enxi and Wu Song came to the back hall of the yamen. Wu Song said: "My lord, my people have investigated the situation clearly, and this time the villagers gathered to demonstrate, it was indeed Zhang Dahu who instigated and coerced him behind the scenes!" ”

Then, he explained to Xu En what Liu Quan and others had learned from the investigation. Including Zhang Dahu's misunderstanding that Xu En was going to compete for Pan Jinlian, he didn't hide it.

He knew that Xu En was not fascinated by Pan Jinlian's beauty, and he hadn't even seen Pan Jinlian's true face under the veil, and said that he would marry Pan Jinlian to him in the future. Although this is impossible, it also shows that Zhang Dahu thinks that Xu En is also obsessed with Pan Jinlian is pure nonsense, and there is no need for him to hide Xu En.

Sure enough, hearing that Zhang Dahu actually misunderstood that he was going to compete for Pan Jinlian, Xu En was even more annoyed and said, "This is the heart of a villain!" This official is trusted by the imperial court and the minister, how can he indulge in beauty and delay the major event of changing the law? Zhang Dahu is a thief, and his official is already inseparable from him. Wu Song, what should you do? ”

Wu Song revealed the plan in his heart to him.
