Dog officer, let the people out. ”

"Let people go, don't think about leaving if you don't let them go."

"Let go..."

Zhang Xiang stood on the carriage frame, looking at the indignant crowd below, his face blank.

Most of the people in the poor mountains and bad waters should be this kind of person!

Although he knew that many of these people did not know the truth and were taken away.

But it is often this type of person who is sometimes the most hateful.

Because they are good and bad, have no position, and have no judgment.

At least those who are bad have a stand, a purpose (xìng), and know what they have to do.

And those who are good, with good in their hearts, will not show their attitude until they really can't judge the good or the bad.

Only this kind of person, once instigated, will believe the truth, and cannot judge the most basic good or bad, and he will do whatever others tell him to do.

Of course, it is often this type of person who has the greatest power.

Such people are both the most troublesome and the most hateful.

However, there is no way to do this, this kind of social status quo has been a sad era since ancient times, even in a social environment with extremely developed communication like modern times, not to mention this era of news sealing.

After watching and listening to this group of people make trouble for a while, when their voices were quiet, Zhang Xiang said slowly: "Fellow villagers, in Xia Zhang Mingheng, is the concubine of Princess Gaoping of Pingzhou, and this time I came to Rong County to assist the government in collecting grain. ”

"Pony?" Many people were stunned for a moment.

For a horse like Zhang Xiang (shēn), in fact, the concept in many people's minds is not very clear.

Although more than a year ago, Liangzhou fell, and the matter of General Zhenbei becoming a sinner (qíng) of Southern Chu was in an uproar, in addition to the people in the court and the people who were slaughtered in Liangzhou, there were only those who read poetry and books to really understand this concept.

Only such a person can truly understand the stigma that comes with such a thing (qíng).

For the poor and remote Diao people, they can't form a complete concept in their hearts.

Even many people don't know that this general has a son.

Not to mention a place like Rongxian, even in a prosperous city like Pingzhou City, there are not many people who can clearly grasp this concept.

For such people, as long as they have a good (rì) son, whoever is in power is the same, even if the Northern Liao, Dongyan, and Xijing people destroy the Southern Chu, but as long as they can live well, they don't care.

This has become a folk phenomenon caused by frequent changes of dynasty for thousands of years.

In other words, in fact, this kind of people, who are not highly educated, have a sense of shame (qíng) in their homeland, all they care about is whether they can live with peace of mind, as long as this condition can be met, they don't care at all.

Whether they are selfish or stupid, this is the human heart.

Not to mention that Southern Chu, which has only been established for 20 years, even if it is the kind of dynasty that has lasted for hundreds of years, after a change of dynasty, it will not take much time for the people to quickly accept the transformation from the former dynasty to the later dynasty, and then continue to live their own (rì) son.

As long as it doesn't affect his life, no matter what the restoration of the country, the uprising, in their eyes, the dog (pì) is not.

Therefore, even if some people know that the colt in front of them is the son of a criminal minister, for them, such a concept is very vague.

Even at this time, there was a person who raised his arms and shouted: He is the son of the (jiān) minister, who caused me to lose Liangzhou in Southern Chu, and hundreds of thousands of Liangzhou people were slaughtered by the Northern Liao people, and everyone killed him to comfort the souls of the people of Liangzhou in the sky.

I'm afraid that everyone will only look at me and I will look at you, and at most I can only raise a slightly clearer concept in my heart: this is a bad person, we don't listen to him.

And if Zhang Xiang told them at this moment that he would kill Xu Tongzhi immediately and let go of the innocent people who were arrested, then these people's impression of him would change in an instant: Oh, he is a good person, don't listen to that person's nonsense.

In short, this is a very simple process of psychological suggestion and acceptance, and of course, the connection between the two is 'interest'.

As long as there is this condition, whoever is good to them, they will go towards.

The so-called those who win the hearts of the people cannot escape this principle.

Therefore, after learning that this person was a concubine of the imperial court at this moment, the people in front of him could only clearly know at most that he was a relative of the emperor, a noble, and a powerful person.

As for whether he is good or not, bad or not, they still don't know.

And (shēn) is often a sharp sword to suppress the heads of the people at the bottom, which has been sealed for thousands of years...... The imprint on the hearts of the common people under the establishment of the system will give them an innate fear.

After Zhang Xiang reported (shēn), everyone looked at him, and most of them didn't dare to shout anymore.

After everyone was silent, Zhang Xiang continued: "Fellow villagers, I am not from the government, this time the imperial court is leviing grain, and I am awarded by the imperial court to cooperate with the local government to do this matter, for Xu Tongzhi and the county government to oppress the people and persecute the people, I will definitely investigate it thoroughly and give you an explanation, but now, you villagers are blocking my way, how can I get justice for the villagers?" ”

After listening to Zhang Xiang's words, this group of people were silent.

They don't know what to do for a while.

After a few moments, a dark-skinned man asked, "How do you make us believe you?" ”

"Then why don't you believe me?" Zhang Xiang asked rhetorically.

"Unless you release the people who are being imprisoned." Someone spoke up.

"Yes, release the people first."

"Just let people out, and we'll believe you."

Zhang Xiang said coldly: "If I release people at this time, wouldn't it prove that Xu Tongzhi and the county government were at a loss, and there was indeed a murderous act?" Now there is no conclusion on this matter, there are still many misunderstandings, I have to investigate first, I do this, I don't want to wronged Xu Tongzhi and the county government. Rest assured, they are being held in the county office, and I will treat them well, and when I investigate clearly, I will release them one by one, and I will also give the villagers a satisfactory explanation. ”

"You're covering, we don't believe you."

At this time, another person in the crowd shouted loudly.

When he shouted, everyone started to heckle again.

"I believe him..."

Just as the crowd was lowered, a weak girl's voice rang out.

Her voice was small, but it looked like a boulder had been thrown down in the crowd.

Everyone, including Zhang Xiang, looked over.

I saw that on the steps of an inn on the side, a little girl of seven or eight years old was embraced by an old woman, she looked at the group of people around her with her head half-bowed and clear eyes.

Then the little girl broke free of the old woman's hands and ran directly to Zhang Xiang's carriage, her small (shēn) body opened her hands, facing a group of people with the courage to say in a childish voice: "Uncles, aunts, I believe in this big brother, he is a good person, he saved me and (nǎi) (nǎi), I believe that the big brother will not lie to us, he will definitely not lie to us, I believe in him." ”

It turned out to be the little girl who helped the old woman push food when Zhang Xiang first entered Rong County.

At this time, the little girl was no longer as dirty as she was that day, and she changed into a clean dress (tào) and looked much more beautiful.

The old woman also slowly walked to her (shēn) and said to the crowd: "Fellow villagers, I also believe in this colt, so don't embarrass him, let him go!" Even if you don't believe him, will that solve the problem? ”

In the face of the rickety and small thin (shēn) body of this old man and young man, the group of people were speechless, but at this moment, the body (shēn) of this old man and young man standing there as if they were about to be blown down was full of infinite power.

Someone let it out first.

And then... One by one, the crowd parted from the middle and stood on both sides of the street.

Soon, the road was cleared.

The old woman pulled the little girl to the side and nodded lightly to him, and the little girl also saluted Zhang Xiang: "Big brother, you can go!" ”

Zhang Xiang squatted down (shēn) and smiled at her: "Little sister, what's your name?" ”

"My name is Shu Ziying." The little girl replied obediently.

"Thank you." Zhang Xiang nodded, and then turned (shēn) into the carriage.

Under the silent gaze of everyone, Zhang Xiang's carriage passed through the street and then disappeared at the end of the street.

The crowd dispersed in all directions in a short time, and the shadows of the old woman and the little girl (shēn) moved forward into the street again, slowly blending into the crowd.

In the teahouse, Yue Xin and Tao Lin watched this scene quietly.

When he saw Zhang Xiang before, Tao Lin wanted to rush out directly, but it was Yue Xin who grabbed him.

At this moment, Tao Lin drank a cup of tea with a sullen face: "Brother Yue, why did you stop me just now?" ”

"You see that there are so many officials around him (shēn), even if you can kill him, what can you do? Can you escape? Even if you escape from Rongxian and Pingzhou, can you still escape from Southern Chu? He is a court colt, if you kill him, you can only escape for the rest of your life. Yue Xin shook his head.

Tao Lin said hatefully: "My generation of righteous people in the rivers and lakes, how can I be greedy for life and afraid of death, looking forward and backward?" Didn't Brother Yue also say that the son of such a (jiān) minister, if he meets it, he will be killed. ”

Yue Xin shook his head: "I don't know that what you are talking about is this person, the one I told you (rì) was the one who taught Xu Tongzhi in front of the county yamen, I saw that this person was dignified and benevolent, you also saw it just now, in the face of so many people's aggressive appearance (bī), he has always been humble and polite, so I stopped you." ”

"Gestures." Tao Lin was dismissive: "The son of such a (jiān) minister, how can ordinary people see through the tricks of acting?" Brother Yue must not be deceived by this person's appearance. ”

Yue Xin exhaled softly: "Brother Tao, you don't have to worry, he is in Rong County now, if it is really as you said, it is not too late to kill him, anyway, he can't run away, I might as well wait and see what he will do next." ”

Tao Lin had no choice but to nod: "Since Brother Yue said so, then Tao fulfilled Brother Yue's wish..."

"But...", Tao Lin frowned: "Brother Yue pulled like this just now, but it reminded me that this person can kill He Sinan, either he is strong in martial arts, or he has a master on the side to help, with you and me, plus Brother Zhao and Brother Zhang, they may not be able to kill him, if he escapes, it will be to let the tiger return to the mountain, so just in case, Tao will fly the pigeon and pass the book, and invite someone to help me and others." ”

"Who does Brother Tao want to invite?" Yue Xin was stunned.

Tao Lin said: "This kind of erection, the righteous people of the rivers and lakes do not want to get rid of it quickly, Tao has recently known a lot of righteous people in the rivers and lakes in Jiangnan, as long as the news is released, Tao believes that someone will come to help, and when the time comes, this Rong County is his burial place (shēn)." ”

……

The carriage stopped in front of the Shi family's house, and Zhang Xiang stepped out of the carriage and took a look at the Shi family's house.

Indeed, it was the most splendid mansion he had seen along the way.

It's just that at this time, the front of the Shi family's mansion was deserted, and there was no one.

Zhang Xiang let out a sneer in his heart, he had sent the greeting post to the Shi family earlier, it was impossible for the Shi family not to know that he was coming, this gesture was nothing more than to give him a dismount.

Zhang Xiang was willing to accept this kind of provocation on the surface, and saved himself from playing some tricks (yīn) tricks with him.

He didn't bother to bother with this, so he sent someone to knock on the door.

When a servant opened the door, he asked them what they were coming from, and after explaining why, the servant went in.

Soon, the gate of the Shi family opened, and a group of family members walked down the stairs, and then a loud laugh came out: "The horse came to the Shi house, which really made the Shi house shine, I don't know that the horse came, it was Shi's fault, and I ask the horse to forgive the sin." ”

Shi Liangyu walked out with a smile, bowed heavily to him, and bowed.

Zhang Xiang said with a smile: "Shi Yuanwai's words are serious, it was my surprise visit, and I didn't have time to inform Shi Yuanwai." ”

"Pony, please..."

Shi Liangyu smiled and hurriedly gave way to the side (shēn).

As Shi Liangyu walked into the Shi family hall, Shi Liangyu quickly prepared exquisite pastries and fragrant tea.

Coming in with him all the way, Zhang Xiang found that this old boy did everything as if he had been prepared in advance, and he did it smoothly without any procrastination, and it didn't seem like he had been prepared temporarily.

Zhang Xiang doesn't debunk it, maybe people really have this kind of emergency measure!

He came to the Shi family with bad intentions this time, just to see what kind of big family this Shi family is, so that he can incite the people of the entire Rong County to make these people willing to 'send' food to him.

Receiving grain at the price of 400 yuan and one stone is really no different from 'sending'.

His way of doing business is indeed clever, and he seized the opportunity.

It's just that he used such an opportunity to earn military rations from the imperial court, and he was inevitably too bold.

"Shi Yuanwai, in the next time to Rong County, is on the order of the imperial court, to assist the government to collect military rations, I heard that Shi Yuanwai is a large grain merchant in Rong County, but also contributed a large amount of grain to the imperial court in this grain collection, this time, on behalf of the imperial court, thank you for the gift outside the staff." Zhang Xiang arched his hand at him.

Shi Liangyu modestly returned the salute: "The horse has passed the award, Shi is just a small businessman, relying on the little good land accumulated by his ancestors to do some small business, he can not go to war, there is only so much he can do, this is what Shi should do, the horse does not have to come to the door in person, as long as the horse commands, Shi will do his best to wait for the court to send." ”

Zhang Xiang said: "Rong County is not a big city, it is really not easy for Shi Yuan to be a grain merchant here, Shi Yuan has gone out so much food, it must have been the Shi family's ration for half a year, so this imperial court is grateful, and it is indispensable." ”。

"Shi thanked the emperor Longen." Shi Liangyu hurriedly bowed his hand to the sky.

Zhang Xiang said slowly: "I have only been in Rong County for a few days, and I heard that Shi Yuanwai's grain business is doing quite well, and ninety percent of the people's homes in Rong County have sold their grain to Shi Yuanwai. ”
