As a result, the entire hall fell into a dead silence, and Master Qian didn't dare to speak, so he could only wait quietly for Shangguan to speak.

At this time, Nazan came in and whispered close to Yue Hesheng's ear: "Yan'an Yousi is coming, is this master arranged in the side hall to wait for inquiry?" ”

Yue Hesheng woke up, nodded again and again, and then asked people to take Master Qian down to ask questions. Master Qian also knew that he couldn't listen to his boss's discussions, so he took his leave and followed a servant.

Waiting for Master Qian to walk away, Yue Hesheng said with luck: "Li Zanhua, it's probably true, but it's still an exaggeration, do you want to ask Lord Jinyi Wei Qianhu?" ”

Seeing that the governor was in a dilemma, Nazan knew what was going on, so he whispered in Yue Hesheng's ear; "My lord, the order of Wubao County in Mizhi County is just outside the door, don't you know what happened when you call in and ask?" Zanhua whispered.

Yue Hesheng suddenly realized and nodded; "Reasonable." This is really a fan of the authorities, how can you forget such a superficial thing?

I called out to a servant; "Go outside the door and call the county magistrate of Wubao County to come to the hall to reply."

As soon as the official heard the order, he also knew that the matter was urgent, so he agreed to go out one by one, and when he arrived outside the yamen, he shouted in the crowd: "Which is the Wubao County Order?" The governor has something to say. ”

The Wubao County Commander also came to stand in line, and when he saw a servant shouting to himself in a hurry, he wanted to report to the official according to the procedure, but the official pulled it and said: "It's good that you're better than I can see the governor." After that, he pulled the county order and staggered in.

According to the rules, Zhao County ordered to roll call outside the hall to meet him, and just about to kneel down according to the etiquette of officialdom, Yue Hesheng had already waved his hand impatiently; "False courtesy is exempt, let me ask you, are there thieves in your county?"

When Zhao County's order was heard, the governor summoned him, and he didn't ask anything else, only asked the bandits, and his heart couldn't help but burst, and now there are no bandits and homeless people in that county in Shanxi and Shaanxi? It's just that everyone is covering their tacit things, where can they be on the table? Could it be that he has not done enough to follow the words of the past; "Now the emperor's grace is vast, the world is peaceful, and our county is governed by the peace of all the people---"

"That's enough." Yue Hesheng slapped the table and interrupted this county order that was addicted to singing praises and singing. "I'm just asking you if there are any bandits in your county."

The Zhao County Commander was frightened by Yue Hesheng's loud shout, and peeked upward, but saw that the governor's eyes were red and his neck was exposed, looking at him like a wolf who chose to devour people, so he shrank his neck in fright at that time, and whispered; "Perhaps."

"What do you mean maybe? Yes or no? How many? "Yue Hesheng, this is really anxious.

Zhao Xianling knew that things had probably changed in his own place, otherwise the governor would not have brought this tacit matter to the table, so he gritted his teeth and said; "Qiyu husband and ancestor, there are some homeless people in our county who have gone up the mountains and fallen into the grass, but most of them are desperate people in neighboring counties, greedy for the prosperity and tranquility of our county, so they wandered to our county."

Yue Hesheng was already burning, why did he want to be verbose, and immediately stopped his words and asked again: "Is there a pole in your territory that doesn't stick to the mud?" ”

"Yes." Zhao Xianling also felt bad, and answered honestly.

"Let me ask you, since the mud is under your jurisdiction, you should know how many men he has, right?"

Zhao County Ling couldn't help but sweat when he saw Shangguan moving, and said; "Approximately, probably, maybe two or three thousand."

"That's all?" Yue Hesheng asked sternly.

Zhao Xianling shuddered and whispered again; "Maybe 10,000."

"Only 10,000?" Looking at the appearance of Zhao County's order, he didn't even believe Yue Hesheng.

Zhao Xianling gritted his teeth and had to answer truthfully; "There are about 20,000 or so, but there are few small soldiers in this county and there is no money and food, so I can't do it, so I ask my husband and ancestor to forgive me." After saying that, he prostrated again and again and asked for sin.

Yue Hesheng sighed, sat down on the chair weakly, and pushed and shoved in every possible way, just thinking about the hurdle of the new emperor, waiting for the Tartar Kou to retreat, and then freeing his hand, or suppressing or soothing this flow of people, but he didn't want to have a pole under his nose that was twenty or thirty thousand, let alone other marginal places.

I didn't want to listen to the defense of the Zhao County Order anymore, so I waved my hand; "Zhao County ordered to go down and listen to the ginseng first. A crime of forcing the people to rebel, appeasing the encirclement and suppression, and shirking responsibility with the beggar-thy-neighbor will not be able to escape. ”

Zhao Xianling collapsed to the ground and couldn't speak at that time, but a few officials dragged him down like a dead dog, and there was a puddle of feces and urine on the ground.

Yue Hesheng covered his nose and waited for the servants to clean up before he opened his mouth again and called out the words of praise and painting; "Brother Zi, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

At this time, the civil and military officials of Yan'an all got the news and hurried over, and when everyone saw the salute and stood in order, Yue Hesheng called Master Qian again and introduced the current situation of rice fat to all the officials and superiors present.

Although Master Qian was dressed in cloth, he was not sincerely afraid when he saw the bosses, but he was rarely calm and calm, just above the lobby, he explained the matter of rice fat in detail in an orderly manner, and then arched his hand and said: "What the student said dare not be half false, so as not to ruin the decision of your adults. He bowed down and stood solemnly, and said no more.

The Xu prefect of Yan'an is now only left to inhale cold air.

In fact, he was the prefect's nest, in this city was originally his own one-handed cover, but now there is a governor's mother-in-law, not only those subordinates have crossed themselves, but all the fart things go to the governor's yamen, he is simply a decoration, even if he is the head of a mansion, he has to ask for instructions three times a day, and it is the credit of the governor of the success, but most of the failures are pushed on his head, and he has become a little daughter-in-law, such days are also helpless, It's just a peaceful mess to explain yourself, anyway, there is nothing good in this court now.

When the Governor of Xu notified him, he knew the details of the matter, and it was also the soul of the dead.

To tell the truth, now this Shaanxi is a powder keg and a big oil pot, there is no day to live in peace, but between the gains and losses, I am also glad that I have the governor to cover me and can get by, but now there is such a big mess, but I am the first to take care of the interference, how not to let him be wronged, but helpless?

"How is the situation of my husband?" Regardless of the order of officialdom, he asked anxiously.

"I'm afraid it's not good." One sentence made the air in the hall ten points colder, and all the officials and civil and military officials turned white.

Seeing that the people and other officials below just bowed their heads and said nothing, Yue Hesheng frowned in a low voice and said to the prefect: "If it is really as Mr. Qian said, the thieves don't say that it is 50,000, it is 20,000, then the soldiers of the Mizhi Guard, it is only a matter of time before the city is broken, this is the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there are no thieves in the mainland, and at this juncture where the new emperor needs peace in the world to ascend the throne, it is really a big disaster for you and me." ”

Although the prefect of Xu is still anxious, it is a burst of slander, on weekdays, you are acting as a prestige, and I am only a decoration, and the matter is today, I can't say that it is your own fault, but who is to blame?

But now the governor is a fluttering sentence, and this has tied himself to a rope with him, although he is complaining in his heart, but the official is crushing people to death, and he is always unable to use his upper and lower mouths.

Yue Hesheng saw that everyone had no idea, so he said to himself: "It is impossible to send troops from the three sides to encircle and suppress now, not to mention that the officers and troops of the three sides are far away from the water and thirsty, that is, the soldiers of the three sides are all stirred by the Tartars in the north and cannot move. ”

Everyone was silent, and a word even affected all colleagues, and the governor was not necessarily an official, but this method of pulling people into the water was really perfect.

After waiting for a long time, Yue Hesheng saw that his colleagues had become muffled gourds, and asked anxiously: "Colleagues, everyone has come up with a charter to solve the crisis." ”

Your military and political governors don't have a charter, so what charter can we have without soldiers and powers? If you want to have no soldiers, you want to have no generals, the pole siege is just around the corner, how do you let everyone? The current method is to keep your head silent, so as not to be a bad one, and you will be the person who will be the one in the future.

Just when everyone was watching their noses and noses, their noses were clear, and they were in a fixed state as an old monk, they didn't want any deacons outside the hall to run in and report that the Lord Jinyi Wei Qianhu was asking to see him outside the door.

Hearing this, everyone was stunned at the time, thinking that there was something wrong with their ears, or the sun came out in the west, when did Lord Jinyi Wei Qianhu come in and report it? Even a small brocade guard is a Datuk Fu lobby like a bazaar.

I thought it was bad, in the hearts of all the officials, they were afraid of Jinyiwei like a snake and scorpion, and they wished they could hide it, but now that the matter is big, it is really unlucky to let Jinyiwei, who is too late to find trouble, know. It seems that you can't hide it if you want to, although you are a member of the shepherd's side, but in fact, a small hundred households in Jinyi can claim yourself and go to death row, and there is no chance to see the light of day again.

But now is not the time to ponder these things in any case, it is important to pick up people, so everyone did not dare to slack off, and ran out of the yamen to meet with the adults of a thousand households.

Outside the door, outside the originally bustling governor's gate, the crowd waiting to be summoned had already run away, only Jinyi Wei Qianhu stood alone under the steps with two small flags and waited for the summons.
