Just when the atmosphere in the room was at its most tense, a catcher hurried in to report. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Report to the county officials, Mr. Mei Yingyuan and a group of gentry and ordinary people are asking to see each other outside the yamen."

Zhao Xiancheng asked in a deep voice, "What do you want to see?" ”

"The official said it was for the affairs of Wenhua Academy."

Zhao Xiancheng pondered for a moment, looked at the other two county officials and asked, "What are the opinions of the two of you, the county lieutenant Su and the king?" ”

"Since the gentry and the common people want to listen to it, it is okay." Lieutenant Su replied lightly.

Now the atmosphere in the room is extremely weird, and the confrontation has not been going on for half an hour, and the soldiers of Yanshen County have been accused of rebelling.

If this continues, in case the hat of rebellion is confirmed, it will not look good on the face of these parents.

Especially when the king saw that the scholars he supported could no longer support it, he now had an opportunity to interrupt and regroup, and he couldn't ask for it.

Master Wang slowly spoke: "The opinions of the gentry should also be listened to, so it is better to invite them to come in and participate together." ”

Generally speaking, Wen's reputation in Yanshen County is not very good now, and those gentry will not stand on Wen's side nine times out of ten, and now calling them in to listen can be regarded as increasing the scholars' aid.

"In that case, let Mr. Mei and the representatives of the gentry and the common people come in." Zhao Xiancheng said.

Before Zhao Xiancheng's words landed, Old Man Mei had already led a few shopkeepers and hurriedly walked in.

"Mei Yingyuan met with the three officials." Old man Mei bowed his hand.

"Mr. Mei is very polite, come here, take a seat." Zhao Xiancheng saw the old man Mei who broke in, and quickly got up to greet him.

"Mr. Mei, please take a seat." Master Wang and County Lieutenant Su also hurriedly got up to greet them.

"Don't dare, the three officials are in the hall, and there is Mei's seat there." Old man Mei said with an unhappy face.

The three officials looked at each other, this old man Mei was so excited that he had eaten the spring breeze today.

No matter how unhappy the three officials are, but who made the Qilang in Old Man Mei's family the general judge of Qingzhou Mansion, the top boss of the three county officials, must be coaxed now, or there may be no good fruit to eat.

"What advice does Mr. Mei have?" Zhao Xiancheng asked.

"I don't dare to advise, but what's the matter with you arresting my granddaughter Yiqi?" Old man Mei shouted in his mouth that he didn't dare, but his questioning tone was categorical.

The three officials fainted on the spot, and kept scolding in their hearts, who is this, who is doing it badly, how did you arrest Old Man Mei's granddaughter, isn't this a disaster for yourself?

"Mr. Mei, don't be angry yet, this must be a misunderstanding." Zhao Xiancheng hurriedly assured.

Old man Mei's face turned cold: "Misunderstanding? My granddaughter is just teaching in Wenhua Academy for a few days, and she is in the way of that royal law, so she will say it and let Mei listen to it. ”

Old man Mei's arrogance set the three officials' popular temples on fire, and the three officials secretly scolded in their hearts, if there was not a general judgment in your family, this damn old man would have been thrown into prison a long time ago.

Zhao Xiancheng hurriedly explained: "The matter of arresting Yiqi is a misunderstanding, and this official can guarantee that Yiqi has definitely not violated any royal law." ”

Old man Mei took a deep breath and said: "You parents and officials, many things must be investigated clearly, according to the laws of my Great Zhou, strictly errands, now that the first emperor has passed away and the new emperor has ascended the throne, it is the time to create my Great Zhou Dynasty, and the gentry of the county raised funds to establish Wenhua Academy for their hometown fathers, just to better educate the people, what are you doing now, arresting people everywhere and framing them at will." So ashamed of the emperor's grace and ashamed of the people, this is how you are a pro-people official? ”

I was stunned when I heard it, this old man Mei said that this official article is really a set.

"Yes, yes, that's what Mr. Mei said." The three officials said yes in one voice, thanks to Old Man Mei for his teachings.

Old man Mei continued: "As a pro-people official, you should listen more to the opinions of the gentry and the common people, now there are many gentry and ordinary people outside the county office, and their opinions are very unanimous, and they support Wenhua Academy to continue to run the school. Don't listen to the wind and rain and do things that go against the will of the people, which will have a very bad impact on your official position and reputation. ”

After Old Man Mei finished saying this, his physical strength was obviously a little exhausted, and he was panting a little.

"Mr. Mei is from a lofty position."

"Mr. Mei has far-sighted opinions."

"What Mr. Mei said is very reasonable."

The three officials hurriedly expressed their position.

Old man Mei calmed down and said, "I don't need you to compliment me, it's better to listen to the thoughts of the villagers and make a decision." ”

"Yes, yes." The three officials hurriedly nodded in agreement.

When a group of people followed Old Man Mei to the door of the county office, they only saw hundreds of people standing outside the county office, densely packed, and the three officials and the scholars were all stunned.

When the people saw the county magistrate coming out, they didn't know who shouted: "Oppose the closure of Wenhua Academy." ”

Immediately, the people shouted.

"Oppose the closure of Wenhua Academy."

"Oppose the closure of Wenhua Academy."

"Oppose the closure of Wenhua Academy."

“.......”

With the shouts one after another, the voice became more and more neat and high-pitched, and there was a faint aura of killing.

The county lieutenant Su took the officials to stop it a few times, but he didn't restrain it, and he was sweating profusely.

Hearing and looking at the passionate people in front of him, this posture was enough to impact the county government, and his heart suddenly admired the old Zhao family's Anmin's ability.

How did this old Zhao family do it, it only took less than a hundred years to wipe out the fierce and majestic wind that the people had inherited from the Han and Tang Dynasties, and they had changed from a group of tigers and wolves to a chicken-like existence, which was not admirable.

"What should I do about this, Mr. Mei, can you give me an idea?" Zhao Xiancheng asked Old Man Mei for advice with a pale face, if the people were fooled and hit the county government, let alone be the county magistrate, the current black gauze hat would not be able to be saved.

"Release Wen Saburo." Old man Mei waved his hand calmly.

The black face of the person who followed Zhao Xiancheng can be used as ink, looking at the current appearance of Old Man Mei, there is a posture of closing the door and letting the dog go.

"Smell you." Zhao Xiancheng turned around and said to Wen.

"Zhao Guanren, he is still a guilty person in his later life." Wen immediately began to put forward conditions.

"Solve this matter, I will take care of your matter." Zhao Xiancheng said with a calm face, the damn little bastard actually dared to blackmail himself.

"Late birth, thank you Zhao Xiancheng." Hearing the salute, he was calm and relaxed.

The whole body of Zhao Xiancheng and Wang Zhushu and Su Xian Wei who were standing on the side were trembling.

Wen tidied up his clothes, stood on the horse stone next to the gate of the county office, and shouted to the people who were tearing with the officials below: "Fellow villagers, everyone be quiet. ”
