Dong'e County, county government.

Just when Liu Juntao summoned Guo Yongzhong, Zhang Baigui, Tang Yu, Liu Zi'an, Gao Ran and others to discuss how to take down the Kong family, Zhao Zhubo was also restless at home.

After all, Zhao Zhubo has been deeply involved in the conflict between the two families, once Yushan Town and the Kong family reach the point of life and death, and the Kong family, he will become very embarrassed, and he will be implicated if he doesn't get it right!

"If that Kong Sancai lives up to expectations, it would be good to say that he could win Yushan Town in one fell swoop, after all, my friendship with Uncle Lin, the official family of the Kong family, is still there; But if Kong Sancai is defeated, will Liu Juntao cut the vegetables and eradicate the roots, and turn the spearhead to find trouble for me? ”

"It is said that the Kong family is a famous and powerful person, and it shouldn't be a problem to deal with a mere Yushan Town, right?"

"That's not right!"

Zhao Zhubo suddenly thought of the evidence provided by Uncle Lin, the housekeeper of the Kong family, in case all the evidence was true, if Liu Juntao really had thousands of fine firearms in his hand, where would Kong Sancai have any chance of winning? Just wait for the door to be destroyed!

Because he was worried that the conflict between Yushan Town and the Kong family would affect him, Zhao Zhubo stayed at home for several days, not thinking about tea or food, thinking about it alone, the more he thought about it, the more scared he became, and he had a faint feeling of panic in his heart!

"No! I have to go to the magistrate to talk to him, and I can't sit still at this time! ”

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhubo did not delay, and immediately braved the cold wind to come to the county office.

At this time, Zheng Zhixian was reciting poems in the study, and there was a piece of rice paper on the desk, which was already sprinkled with neat handwriting.

Next to it, a good purple clay pot is filled with fragrant hot tea, blocking the cold wind outside the house, and setting off the study to be warm and comfortable.

At this moment, Zhao Zhubo, who had rushed all the way, pushed open the door of the study very inappropriately, and a biting cold wind suddenly poured into the house along the crack in the door, blowing Zheng Zhixian's scalp numb, gasping for air, and suddenly shivering.

Zheng Zhixian frowned and glared at Zhao Zhubo, and asked a little unhappily, "Is there something wrong?" What kind of system is it to be so flustered! ”

Zhao Zhubo knew that he was a little reckless, so he hurriedly smiled and said: "Xiaguan has disturbed the adult's Yaxing, ashamed!" What a shame! ”

Zheng Zhixian sat on the chair for a long time, drank a sip of hot strong tea, and the warmth in his heart recovered a little, and said: "Say, what's the matter with being in such a hurry?" ”

"My lord, there is nothing else to do when the lower officials come, it's just a dispute between Yushan Town and the Kong family, but it's getting deeper and deeper, if we don't intervene again, it's hard to guarantee that there won't be any big mess, and I'm afraid it will be very troublesome to clean up when the time comes!"

"Intervention?"

Zheng Zhixian couldn't help but sneer when he heard this, and said, "How can this county intervene?" Now the imperial court has transferred the soldiers and horses of the entire Shandong to guard the border passes, and my dignified magistrate can be said to have no soldiers and no people, and now there are only two classes of government officers and city patrol archers, the number of people is only hundreds, can these manpower be compared with the people and horses under the powerful men and horses of Yushan Town and the Confucian family? ”

Zheng Zhixian said: "Zhao Zhubo thinks that this county can take these 100 people to take Liu Juntao, or can it rush to Ningyang County to get Kong Sancai?" ”

"That's not what the lower official meant......

Seeing that Zheng Zhixian said this, Zhao Zhubo was also speechless for a while, but after thinking about it, he continued: "My lord, even if this is the case, we can't do nothing!" Once something happens, it will definitely be a big deal, once the court investigates it, the adult, as the parent official of Dong'e County, will bear the brunt! ”

What do you mean by that? Scare me? ”

Zheng Zhixian said with some dissatisfaction: "According to your opinion, how should this county intervene in the conflict between the two of them?" ”

Zhao Zhubo thought that Zheng Zhixian was moved by his own words, so he smiled a little proudly, and said: "My lord, that Kong Sancai doesn't care whether he has anything to do with Yan Shenggong or not, after all, his surname is Kong, and he is a strong man who has been rampant in our Yanzhou Mansion for more than ten years, not Yushan Town, which has only risen for three or two years, can be compared, and the foundation of Yushan Town is too shallow!" What's more, Kong Sancai still has evidence of Liu Juntao's private firearms in his hands, and it is not good for adults to favor Yushan Town, and they can't ignore the two families, so they can only stand aside with Kong Sancai. ”

"Let Ben County and Kong Sancai stand aside? I'm afraid that's not good! ”

Zheng Zhixian sneered and said: "Has Zhao Zhubo forgotten that Emperor Taizu Hongwu has an order: county officials from all over the Ming Dynasty are not out of the city, and all rural affairs are taken care of by the gentry and big households!" Now even if there is a conflict between Yushan Town and the Kong family, then the people on both sides can only fight in the countryside, and the two of them will never be able to do it in Dong'e County! At that time, even if the court blames it, it will be the fault of Ren Chengwei, and it has nothing to do with this county! ”

Zhao Zhubo was dumbfounded when he heard this, stood there and opened his mouth, and suddenly had nothing to say.

"Lord Zhixian's move Tai Chi is too good!"

At this time, Zheng Zhixian looked at Zhao Zhubo's embarrassment, couldn't help but snort coldly, and said: "Zhao Zhubo, this county advises you not to get involved in the affairs between Yushan Town and the Kong family, no matter who wins or loses in the two of them, it can't affect us who are officials, is it possible that Liu Juntao and Kong Sancai still have the courage to take advantage of the situation to pull the flag and rebel?" As long as the two of them don't rebel, then don't dare to do anything about us, what is there to panic about you! ”

When Lord Zhao heard this, he bowed his hand again and again, and said: "My lord has taught me a lesson, and the lower officials know that they are wrong, and they know that they are wrong!" ”

After speaking, Zhao Zhubo made an excuse and prepared to go back quickly, so as not to feel uncomfortable here in Zhengzhi County.

But he didn't want Zheng Zhixian to stop Zhao Zhubo, muttered for a while, and said, "But then again, what you said just now also made some sense." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Zhubo suddenly felt happy in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"This county is still the same sentence, the dispute between Yushan Town and the Kong family, our Dong'e County will never mix! However, as officials, we can't do nothing! ”

At this time, Zhao Zhubo listened to Zheng Zhixian's words, and his mind was a little confused, and he didn't know what Zheng Zhixian meant.

Zheng Zhixian sneered and said: "Send an official document to the gates of the yamen early tomorrow morning, let the two classes of yamen and city patrol archers all move, strictly control the surrounding areas of Dong'e County, and at the same time strictly check the people entering and leaving the county, and clean up the streets for the county!" ”

When Zhao Zhubo heard this, he suddenly realized in his heart, and said with a smile: "It's still an adult, this move is really just right!" ”

Zheng Zhixian also smiled and waved his hand when he heard this, and said, "There is no way to do this in this county!" Next, you and I will sit firmly in Diaoyutai in the county seat, and sit and see how Liu Juntao and Kong Sancai fight! ”

When Zhao Zhubo came out of the county office, it was already nightfall, and the street was already empty at this time, only the cold wind was still howling, and Zhao Zhubo couldn't help but wrap the cotton clothes on his body tightly.

Walking on the way home, Zhao Zhubo secretly said in his heart: "Now Dong'e County and even Yanzhou Mansion are really turbulent, Liu Juntao and Kong Sancai, the two evil dragons are entangled together, and the government is not able to live in peace!" ”

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhubo felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and said secretly: "Now I don't know how Liu Juntao behaves, I just hope that I won't be implicated!" As for Kong Sancai, he doesn't know how to make a move! ”
