The yamen of the Shunqing prefect quickly fell silent.

Zhang Licheng glanced at Liu Ximing, "You will tell this matter originally." ”

Liu Ximing smiled and looked at Lu Zhenghao, who was looking at him with a blank eye.

"Fuzun, don't you hear that the king does not lose his ministers, the ministers do not lose their bodies, and if they do not secret, they will become harmful, this matter is very important, and students can only talk to Fuzun and Zhangxian in detail."

"Vertical Zi'an dares to bully me", Lu Zhenghao shrugged his brows and became angry.

Zhang Licheng looked at Lu Zhenghao with some dissatisfaction, "Gongjie, you wait and wait here." ”

After speaking, he looked at Liu Ximing and Zhang Gaoxuan, "Go to the back hall with this mansion to talk." ”

Liu Ximing looked at Lu Zhenghao arrogantly, followed Zhang Gaoxuan behind his back with his hands behind his back and walked towards the back hall, leaving Lu Zhenghao looking at his back with an angry face.

When he arrived in the back hall, Zhang Licheng's attitude was much gentler, and he even showed Liu Ximing a seat.

When the maid serving tea closed the door, Liu Ximing directly surrendered his hand without waiting for Zhang Licheng's question: "The student was reckless today, which frightened the two parents, and asked the two officials to forgive their sins." ”

Zhang Gaoxuan was like a clay statue in the hall before, just because this is a government office and not a county government after all, and the ranks of Tongzhi and Tuiguan are higher than him, so he naturally can't express his position indiscriminately.

Now that he was in the back hall, Zhang Gaoxuan was also relaxed, and when he heard Liu Ximing say this, he pointed at Liu Ximing with a smile.

"You, you, the palace just scolded you for being a bastard, the official looks good at scolding, how to do things is not too much of a brain, there is really something important that should be discussed with me first, why make it impossible to end today."

He glanced at Zhang Licheng, who was sitting on the main seat, "But you should also understand the love of the mansion, if it is someone else, I am afraid that the yamen will be detained on the spot, where can you be allowed to come nonsense." ”

Liu Ximing knew that Zhang Gaoxuan was playing a round for himself, so he hurriedly got up and saluted, "Yes, yes, what Zhang Xianzun said is very true, the students thank the two parents for their love." ”

With Zhang Gaoxuan's words as the foundation, Zhang Licheng couldn't do it too viciously, he simply laughed.

"At the beginning of the month, when the rogues came to attack, the official also praised you in front of the officials for your courage to do things, loyalty and bravery, you should always remember that next year is the township test, and you must not cut off your future."

"Tell me, what are your plans for today?"

Liu Ximing turned back to his seat and sat down, picked up the teacup and said with a smile: "As the students said before, today's event is not only the benefit of students and other members of the Datong Society, but also the government and county can also benefit from it, and the students call it a win-win situation." ”

Zhang Gaoxuan leaned forward with interest.

The reason why he spoke for Liu Ximing so much was not for this sentence.

"The matter of human silk should be the item deducted by the conversion of wood service into silver, and the student believes that the two officials know very well in their hearts."

Zhang Licheng was silent, but Zhang Gaoxuan nodded slightly.

Liu Ximing continued to laugh and said: "If this matter can be resolved within the term of office of the two officials, presumably the reputation of the two officials in Shunqing will be as high as ever." ”

"Hmph, this official is not a three-year-old child, you don't have to bluff me with that, if this official can solve this kind of thing, then this official will already be a household secretary, where do you still need to stay here."

"Now that the state affairs are difficult, such a large amount of taxes, it is impossible for the imperial court to cancel it, even if you want to distribute it to other states and counties, it is impossible for you to bear a heavy burden in Nanchong County, and other states and counties are not heavy?"

Zhang Licheng remembers this incident back and forth very clearly.

Liu Ximing smiled and leaned forward, "Two Shangguan, this matter is difficult to say and easy to say, if you want to stab this matter to the court, it will definitely not be solved, but if it is ......"

Hearing that Liu Ximing came together with his own plans, Zhang Licheng and Zhang Gaoxuan both looked incredulous.

However, the two thought about it carefully, but as Liu Ximing said, as long as the operation is done properly, this matter is indeed a great benefit for the two of them, which can increase their prestige in the mansion without spending any effort on their own.

After a little consideration, the two agreed to some small requests of Liu Ximing and agreed to cooperate with the Datong Society to settle the matter.

Liu Ximing was overjoyed in his heart, with the assurance of these two people, this matter would be true.

Dou Yuquan and the others did not disperse except for the palace, and waited for about two quarters of an hour before seeing Liu Ximing come out of the yamen.

"How?"

A group of people eagerly surrounded them, especially Lei Hong, Tao Wenshi and other Nanchong County scholars were the most anxious.

Liu Ximing winked at everyone with a smile in his eyes, "It's done, let's go back and talk about it." ”

"Hooray"

All the members of the Datong Society who participated in this matter cheered, and everyone hugged Liu Ximing and walked towards Liu's mansion.

Along the way, I met people who came to inquire, and all the people in Datong Society were of the same caliber.

Nanchong County has suffered injustice, even if we die, we will definitely seek justice for the people of the county, which has attracted the applause of the people along the road.

The next day, the Shunqing Mansion officially posted a notice to accept the lawsuit submitted by the Datong Society led by Liu Ximing.

This time, even the Chen family and the Huang family went to the yamen to observe.

Although these families have itched the root of Liu Xi's hate, if this matter is confirmed, it will be a major matter related to the entire Nanchong County, and a little personal vendetta is nothing.

Liu Ximing even heard He Tianlei say that Chen Lekang, the head of the Chen family, even praised himself and others, saying that "there are such handsome men in the county, and the people of this county are blessed".

In the next few days, Liu Ximing directly experienced the kindness of the Chen family, and according to the plan, the members of the Datong Society were divided into three groups and held three discussion meetings in the city's markets, restaurants and other lively places.

Its purpose is to tell the people of Nanchong County about the origin of the silk tax and the harm to the county, arouse public anger at the same time, and lay a good foundation for the future.

As a result, not only the people, but also the Chen family called on several large families to send people to participate in these conferences, and for a while, Nanchong County was surging and excited.

This trend soon spread to other prefectures and counties under the instigation of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and the wealthy gentry in the remaining two prefectures and seven counties also went to the government to complain, the purpose was to pressure the government to pass on the extra money from Nanchong County to the whole government.

At this point, what was originally a matter in Nanchong County has a tendency to expand into a big brawl in the whole province, which makes people feel that the storm is coming.

On the other hand, the government kept a strange silence, and Zhang Licheng only smiled at the gentry who came to visit, but did not say anything promised, which made people scratch their heads.

In this way, the entire Shunqing Mansion is even more chaotic, and now it has become one county of Nanchong County against the other nine prefectures and counties, as long as the people from the two sides meet together, they will definitely make a noise, and even more so, they will fight directly.

Liu Ximing had been closely monitoring the extent of the chaos in the palace through the Military Intelligence Bureau, and on October 20, he finally felt that the matter was almost brewing, so he went to the government to meet Zhang Licheng secretly.

As soon as he came out of the government office with his front foot, a notice was posted at the yamen on his back foot.

During this period of time, the people who were waiting for the government to say how to deal with it kept an eye on the movement of the yamen, and when they saw a new notice, hundreds of people surrounded them.

“…… After the investigation of this government, because of the age, the yellow book is in disrepair, and the matter of the silk silk can no longer be verified, after the request of Liu Ximing, Dou Yuquan and other members of the Datong Society of this government, it is scheduled to be discussed with the squires of the prefecture and county ten days later. ”

"What does this mean", the crowd of onlookers were all confused after listening to a few literate notices.

"That's the literal meaning," the official in charge of maintaining order pushed away a few men who were pushing around in the crowd, shouting loudly: "After reading it, disperse quickly, and don't gather at the gate of the government office." ”

The crowd scattered in all directions, each going to deliver the news.

After a while, the people of Fucheng saw many yamen officers walking the streets and alleys to deliver letters to the homes of large families in the city.

As soon as a group of people inquired, it was really about the matter of convening the gentry of the prefecture and county to discuss the matter of Ding Sijuan ten days later, and then a group of ordinary people were like chicken blood, and they went to the doors of each big household to block the door, asking each family to fight for the county.
