Zheng was born as a commoner. Whether in a past life or in this life. He's all civilians. Not to mention when he was young, in the modern society where there are as many talents as Jiang Zhiqing, he is a college student who came out of a third-rate university. After graduation, it is even more ordinary than a speck of dust, and he can't even find a job, and he is more civilian than a civilian, and he can be called a refugee.

Even if he travels to this world, although he Cai is the son of the richest man in the Hua Dynasty, this society does not use money to determine the position of the society, and the family of merchants is discriminated against everywhere, and if you really talk about it, his background is not even as good as that of ordinary people.

The more people who come out of the lower strata of society, the more sensitive they become to class issues, and this sensitivity is especially strong when the privileged class is unfair to the disadvantaged.

So Fang Zheng was angry, when the people outside Yangzhou City looked at him with fearful eyes, he felt as if his heart was stinged, this was not a fair era, there were too many unfair things in the world. Fang Zheng couldn't manage it all, but he would never allow this kind of unfairness to happen in front of him.

Xu Shou knelt on the blue brick ground, his face pale. Layers of fine sweat broke out on his forehead.

Looking at Fang Zheng's frosty face, Xu Shou pursed his lips and said in fear: "Lord Fang, the lower officials will arrest those civilians." There is a reason for the incident, and please listen to the details of the officials. ”

Fang Zheng smiled. There was a bit of murder in his smile, this time he went to Jiangnan. The fat man gave him the right to kill the newly appointed prefect and pacify the people.

"Say, listen.

Fang Zheng raised his head. Looking at the beams of the front hall, he said leisurely. The address of this site has been changed to: Foot Union Concave Peng Embedded, please log in to the circle to read

"Lord Fang, a few days ago, the Lord sent a fast horse to deliver an official document, saying that the King of Thailand was plotting against him and was greedy for taxes and silver from the seven prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River. and secretly trained soldiers and horses, fearing that the court would be disadvantaged, and instructed the officials to carefully guard against Yangzhou City, track down the whereabouts of the King of Thailand, and close the residence of the King of Thailand,"

"Yes, the official said so, but, Lord Xu, the official wanted you to track down the whereabouts of the King of Thailand, and did not let you wantonly abuse and arrest the common people, these ordinary people recruited you to provoke you? Or do the people you arrested look like the King of Thailand? ”

Xu Shou said with a bitter face: "Lord Fang, this Yangzhou was originally a domain given to the King of Thailand by the first emperor, and the King of Thailand has been operating for many years. Both inside and outside Yangzhou praised the benevolence and righteousness of the King of Thailand, and after the news of the King of Thailand's plot spread, many people even dared not believe it even in some local county officials. In the past few days, the yamen of the Yangzhou prefect has often been delivered anonymous letters in the middle of the night. Speaking of the court, "the traitors in the court are in charge, and the villain is in power, causing the king of Thailand to be wronged and framed, and he is asked to listen to the heavens and ask the emperor to overturn the case and investigate thoroughly" Lord Fang, Yangzhou City is currently full of sores, and the people are changing frequently, if the lower officials do not use this law, I am afraid that "I am afraid that those ear people will really make a countermeasure of killing officials and plotting rebellion, and the lower officials will arrest and imprison the young and strong men among the people, in order to suppress the civil unrest and temporarily ensure the peace inside and outside Yangzhou for a while.

Fang Zheng and the people who came with him were all shocked when they heard this, they didn't expect that the king of Thailand actually had such a high reputation in the fiefdom, and if the person in charge had a very high reputation among the people and a solid mass base among the people, then his rebellion would definitely have a huge impact and blow to the imperial court. It seems that the king of Thailand really knows how to do it, and those ordinary people may seem to be just a group of unimportant chaotic people in the eyes of the officials, and the people are as cheap as dogs, but in the eyes of people with bad intentions. These ordinary people are the rear guarantee of his rebellion, they are loyal supporters, they provide soldiers, provide food and grass, as long as they are instigated by the rebels casually, they can complete the transformation from good citizens to rebel soldiers in the blink of an eye.

The world of those who win the hearts of the people is not an empty word, many times. Used at a specific time and occasion, this phrase can often determine the outcome of a war.

And now, the extremely stupid Governor Xu in front of him has used such extreme methods to stop the people's uprising, I really don't know whether to kill him or slap them and kill him again."

"Is the civil unrest in Yangzhou very serious?" Fang Zheng asked worriedly.

"Yes, sir. The people inside and outside the city are unstable, and they have been entangled into groups many times, and there have been conflicts with the officials in the yamen of the lower officials, and in the past few days, the officials have been injured more than a dozen people, and the lower officials have sent fast horses to send the chapter to the military headquarters of the capital yesterday, asking the Yangzhou garrison to enter the city and assist in governance,"

Swim! Of course, there is a conflict, the officials force the people to rebel, as the prefect, arrest the people and put them in prison for no reason, and instruct the officials to beat and abuse the people at every turn, the mud bodhisattva still has three points of earthy nature, do you think the people are a ruthless wooden stake, let you beat and scold? ”

Xu Shou's expression was suffocated, and then he didn't know where he got the courage, suddenly straightened his chest, looked directly at Fang Zheng, and said awe-inspiringly: "Lord Fang, the king of Thailand has a solid foundation in Yangzhou, the popularity is very high, and seeing that the rebellion is imminent, we can't even find his figure, if the lower officials don't arrest the young and strong and put them in prison, if the king of Thailand then ascends and raises his arms, countless foolish people will follow, and he will have tens of thousands of chaotic troops for him to drive in a few days. There is nothing wrong with the lower officials doing this. ”

Fang Zheng was stunned when he heard this, there was such an official in the world, and today really opened his eyes. Turning his head and glancing at Xiao Huaiyuan, Wen Sen and the others who came with him, they also had stunned expressions.

Speaking from the heart. Fang Zheng doesn't mind official corruption, he himself is a big corrupt official, he has always believed that corruption and diligence are completely separate things, as long as you can do something practical for the people, for the people to do more benefits, even if you are greedy on weekdays, it is understandable, you can still go down in history, such as Kou Zhun in the Northern Song Dynasty, if Kou Lao Xi'er was left in his previous life. It has to be a big corrupt official who has been shot 800 times without being wronged. But his evaluation in the history books is very high. It can be called a generation of famous faces.

Corrupt officials and cool officials all have their own ways, which is a product of the existence of every dynasty and every generation, and what Fang Zheng is most afraid of is a two-liner official like Xu Shou. Under the banner of doing the right thing for heaven, with self-righteous righteousness, he openly does evil to the people, and acts as a blessing, even if he kills a river of blood, he will hold his neck and say that he is loyal to the country, and does not think that he has any mistakes, the court should instead build a merit archway for him, the harm of this kind of person is worse than that of corrupt officials and cool officials, unfortunately, Fang Zheng has encountered one today.

Fang Zheng was stunned for a long time. sighed and said, "Lord Xu, may I ask what year you are the lifter, and any previous positions?" ”

Xu Shou was stunned. Hurriedly said: "Xia Guan is the second class in the Ding Chou Branch in the ninth year of Jianwu, and later transferred to the Hanlin Academy as an editor and repairer. Until a few days ago, the prefect of the seven prefectures in Jiangnan was imprisoned for corruption of ink, and the lower officials were urgently dispatched by the Ministry of Officials, and then he took up the post of Yangzhou Zhicun

Edited by the Hallym Academy?

Looking at the sky outside the hall, it was already noon. The address of this site has been changed to summer: Liaolian Cave Peng Chat Embedded, please log in to the circle to read

Fang Zheng thought for a moment, then stood up and raised his voice: "Come on, prepare a sedan chair, everyone is with me." Go to the lobby of the prefect's yamen. ”

Xiao Huaiyuan and Wen Sen, who were standing on the side, couldn't understand what Fang Zheng meant.

Feng Qiudao stood with the old god stroking the knife, his face expressionless.

He is a military general, and he doesn't have to worry about local government affairs at all, and it is his business for Fang Zheng to exercise the power of the Qin Mission. Feng Qiudao only needed to protect Fang Zheng's safety.

Only Han Yizhen, who was sitting behind Fang Zheng's side, glanced at Fang Zheng with a slight understanding when he heard this, and there was already a bit of appreciation in his eyes, compared to the disdain and disdain he usually looked at Fang Zheng, "It's a world of difference." This, perhaps even she herself did not realize.

Xiao Huaiyuan looked left and right, leaned over to Fang Zheng's side and whispered: "Lord Fang, go to the prefect's yamen at this time, isn't it, uh, it's too resolute?" ”

Noon was the time for dinner, why did Lord Fang have to go to the yamen at this time to do errands? Xiao Huaiyuan touched his shriveled stomach, a little complaining"

Fang Zheng said righteously: "Do things for the people, do you want to be the master for the people?" The people of Yangzhou City are already in dire straits, and this official, as a messenger, inspects the south of the Yangtze River on behalf of the Son of Heaven and comforts the people, how can he delay any longer? ”

Xiao Huaiyuan hurriedly claimed yes, secretly disdainful in his heart. Look at this official tone, I don't know, I really think you are a good official who is the master of the people,,

Fang Zheng pulled Xiao Huaiyuan's collar and whispered in his ear: "The food in this Qincha Pavilion is not good, let's go to the prefect's yamen for dinner." My shadow detective reported that the prefect's yamen had recently purchased a piece of shark fin, and we took advantage of its unpreparedness to kill the general and snatched the shark fin for a tooth sacrifice! ”

Xiao Huaiyuan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded in agreement.

Fang Zheng stroked the back of Xiao Huaiyuan's head with satisfaction, and praised: "This is good."

Fu glanced at Xiao Huaiyuan seriously. Fang Zheng patted his chest and promised, "Follow me." There is meat to eat! ”

The group walked out of the gate of the Green Shade Pavilion, and Xiao Huaiyuan reacted at this time: The shadow even inquired about the prefect's yamen buying shark fins, are they so idle?

"Ah, the surname Fang! You're lying to me again! ”

Fang Zheng sat in the official sedan chair and sighed with sorrow, Lao Tzu's deputy envoy had such a low IQ. It's really worrying,,

The yamen of Yangzhou prefect is located on the west side of Tianning Temple in the south of the city. It is parallel with the two Huai salt industry yamen and the Caoyun yamen, headed by the prefect's yamen, and occupies the largest area. The yamen is quite old, but it still shows a solemn and solemn official authority. There is a huge cowhide drum on the right side of the yamen, and two officials guard it on the left and right, which is the legendary drum of grievances.

There is a sill couplet on the left and right sides of the gate: "Don't talk too much for politics, you must rest and self-denial from self-denial; When the official affairs are in general, everything is related to the people's livelihood and the national economy. ”

Fang Zheng got off the official sedan chair, looked up and saw this fierce coupling at first glance, and after reading it carefully, he couldn't help but sneer a few times.

It is a great irony that a yamen who arrests people indiscriminately without evidence and treats the people rudely and cruelly to the people is actually inlaid with such a link of worrying about the country and the people.

The head-catching officials who were on duty in the yamen saw that so many people suddenly came, and there were even many big officials inside, but their immediate boss, Lord Xu, followed them in frustration, and the officials were all quick-sighted. Seeing this, he knew that the imperial court's envoy was coming, and hurriedly knelt respectfully. He didn't dare to raise his head. Let everyone step into the yamen hall one after another.

Fang Zheng and his entourage walked through the streets and the market, which had already attracted countless people in Yangzhou, and the people saw this group of officials going to the yamen, so they put down their work and followed the official sedan chair.

Fang Zheng thought for a while, and called Wen Sen to command in a low voice: "Tell the people who are watching the excitement outside to come in." There is no need to be afraid, and the official will not blame. ”

Vinson answered.

When he was about to step into the lobby of the prefect's trial, Han Yizhen, who was accompanying him, grabbed Fang Zheng's sleeve and said in a low voice, "Lord Fang, what are you going to do?" ”

Fang Zheng smiled and said mysteriously: "I think the relationship between the officials and the people in Yangzhou City is too tense, okay, I plan to invite a dozen girls from the kiln who can play the piano and dance." Then the officials and the people were gathered, and everyone held hands and sang and danced together. Tensions between the government and the private sector may have eased

Han Yizhen's eyes widened, and he looked at Fang Zheng in disbelief: "Lord Fang, you, what you said can't be true, right?" ”

Fang Zheng winked at her and smiled evilly, "What? Do you want to sing and dance too? Let's come along. I'll teach you to dance the tango."

Han Yizhen looked at Fang Zheng's face, her pretty face suddenly turned red for some reason, she bit her lower lip, glared at Fang Zheng, and said coldly: "You are full of nonsense, but I don't believe you." ”

Fang Zheng laughed, flicked the sleeves of his robe, and strode into the lobby. Fu Yizhen stood outside the fence of the lobby, watching Fang Zheng enter the lobby surrounded by everyone, and his gestures were full of energy. A smile gradually appeared in her eyes.

"Stepping on the Nine Nights Lingluo Palace, why bend the bow to shoot the wolf? High-spirited, handsome and heroic, this is the young courtier who holds great power and is favored by heaven

Feng Qiudao didn't follow Fang Zheng into the hall, he stood outside the hall, not far from Han Yizhen, seeing that Han Yizhen was looking at Fang Zheng fixedly, without blinking his eyes, Feng Qiudao couldn't help but look at her strangely.

Han Yizhen was suddenly shocked, and then turned his head sideways as if nothing happened, pretending to enjoy the scenery outside the lobby.

Han Yizhen's maid Zhu'er stood behind her, and when she saw her young lady's embarrassment, she quietly raised her sleeves to cover her small mouth, revealing a pair of lovely eyes. His eyes had turned into a crescent moon with a smile.

，，

Fang Zheng entered the lobby and sat on the main seat. The blue sea and red sun picture behind him, as well as the high hanging plaque of the mirror above his head, make the court look extremely solemn and solemn.

The people stood tremblingly outside the public hall and cautiously looked at Fang Zheng who was sitting on the main seat of the public hall, the people were afraid of the official since ancient times, not to mention that although Fang Zheng's age looked like Xu Shou, who was the prefect of Wupin, he also had to stand honestly under the hall, not daring to move, seeing this situation, the people became more and more suspicious and afraid of Fang Zheng's origin and official position.

Fang Zheng saw that the people "Rong; Many. Surrounded by the second floor outside the lobby, the second floor outside the lobby, "Lu Xia is quite satisfied." Qianxian Cave... Su took the customary procedure of the official's ascension, directly patted the shocking wood, and shouted: "Where is Xu Shou, the prefect of Yangzhou? ”

Xu Shouhun shuddered. Hurriedly lowered his head and walked to the middle of the public hall, knelt down and said, "The lower official is here." ”

In front of the people. Fang Zheng said angrily: "Xu Shou, are you guilty? "It has been changed to summer: foot couplet concave Peng inlay please log in to the circle to read

Xu Shou was taken aback, then stubbornly stepped forward, looked directly at Fang Zheng and said, "Xia Guan is not guilty!" ”

Fang Zheng sneered: "You have been in office as the prefect of Yangzhou for ten days, wantonly arresting innocent people and putting them in prison, instructing the officials to suppress the people to complain about their grievances, which made the whole city of Yangzhou panic, and the people's minds changed, you still say that you are not guilty?" ”

"The people are about to be in turmoil, and the lower officials are just expedient to stop the people from making bigger incidents and endangering the court and the community, and the lower officials don't feel guilty!" Xu Shou hugged his neck and said awe-inspiringly.

The people outside the court heard this. It turns out that this adult is actually judging the prefect's master! Suddenly, the people's sentiment began to stir.

"My lord, please call the shots for the little people!"

"My lord, Xu Shou has done evil, and several of the laborers in the small people's family have been arrested and imprisoned for no reason, begging the adults to avenge the small people!" ”

The angry denunciation of the people outside the hall made Xu Shou's face pale, and cold sweat flowed down his forehead in an instant, and his whole body involuntarily began to tremble slightly.

"Xu Shou, can you hear the voices of the people? Do you still insist that you are innocent? ”

Gritting his teeth, Xu Shou still straightened up, and said in a trembling voice: "The lower official is worthy of the world, and the lower official is not guilty!" ”

Fang Zheng sneered: "It's worthy that heaven and earth have a fart!" Do you dare to pat your chest and say that you are worthy of the people? In vain you have read the books of the sages for many years. What did the sages teach you? The people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light. Ask yourself, what do you do with the people! When the civil unrest is about to happen, the people will be arrested and put in prison, so that there will be no civil unrest? Are you a pig's brain? Raise the soup to stop the boiling, hold the salary to put out the fire, his actions are extremely stupid! This move is simply forcing the people to rebel, if this official lets you continue to sit in this prefect's seat, I don't know how many people will be ruined in the future! ”

Closing his eyes, Fang Zheng said slowly: "Someone comes, record Xu Shou's official uniform and send someone to escort him to the Criminal Department of the capital, and the officials of the Criminal Department will sentence and convict."

The guards beside Fang Zheng stepped forward. Without saying a word, he recorded Xu Shou's official clothes and hat. Then take it down the hall.

After a pause, Fang Zheng continued: "Where is the Yangzhou general judgment? ”

The post of general judgment is second only to the prefect in the government office, and it is regarded as the second-in-command of the prefect's yamen, and is responsible for grain transportation, family land, water conservancy and litigation and other matters on weekdays, and also has the function of secretly supervising and restricting the prefect.

Among the officials in Yangzhou, a person suddenly stood up, this person was about forty years old, with a green beard and thick eyebrows, and his appearance was neither humble nor arrogant, and he arched his hand and said: "Yangzhou will judge Gu Ang, please meet Lord Fang." ”

Fang Zheng looked at him for a long time, nodded and said: "Lord Gu, this official ordered you to temporarily serve as the prefect of Yangzhou, govern one side, and benefit the people. ”

Fang Zheng's main purpose in Yangzhou was to track down the whereabouts of the King of Thailand, and since it was inconvenient for him to act as the prefect, he directly upgraded the general sentence to one level so that he could concentrate on handling the case of the King of Thailand.

Gouang was overjoyed when he heard this. Hurriedly knelt down and said yes.

Raising his head, Fang Zheng glanced at the people standing outside the hall and said with a smile: "In addition, this official also brought the emperor's holy decree this time. My emperor Shengming, in order to soothe the people, hereby issued a decree to exempt Yangzhou from three years of money and grain taxes, I hope that all the fathers and villagers will abide by their duties, do not go astray, the new emperor has not been on the throne for a long time, but there has been a new dynasty and a new atmosphere, up to the temple, down to the countryside, let's work together, work together for a good year! ”

He turned his head and instructed Gu Ang: "Lord Gu, hurry up and order people to distribute this decree to all counties and townships, so that the people can see it in the shortest possible time, so that everyone can share the holy grace and feel the holy virtue of our emperor." In addition, the innocent people who were imprisoned in the prison were released immediately, and the injured people were paid with decoction to let them go back to their families."

The voice fell, and the people outside the hall knelt down at the same time, and kept praising in their mouths: "This lord is wise! ”

"My lord, you are the life-saving benefactor of our Yangzhou people!"

Fang Zheng saw the people kneeling down towards him, hurriedly walked down the main seat, and helped them to get up one by one, and his own eyes were red with emotion. Looking at Gu Ang, he said abruptly: "Lord Gu, look at it, it is actually difficult to say that it is difficult to be an official, and it is easy to say that it is easy to say, in a word, the will of the people cannot be violated, and the will of the people cannot be bullied!" ”

Goon hurriedly claimed yes.

Han Yizhen stood far away in the open space outside the hall, watching the people kneel down and thank Fang Zheng, and his beautiful eyes couldn't help but show a little appreciation.

The King of Thailand has a bad plan. Relying on the popular aspirations of his fiefdom and the growing fame and prestige, now as soon as this Lord Qincha entered the city, he removed the prefect who poisoned the people, and appeased the people in a timely manner, this trick went straight to Huanglong, although the trick is simple, but it is extremely effective, my father said it well, Fang Zheng can sit in the position of the second-rank minister in the court in the year of the weak crown, it is by no means as simple as luck.

With a kind smile on her face, Fang Zheng walked up to a white-haired old woman, the woman was very old, estimated to be seventy miles away, she hung a crutch, stood in the crowd with a slight tremble, and looked at Fang Zheng with a grateful face.

Stepping forward to hold the woman's old hand wrinkled like tree bark, Fang Zheng smiled and said, "This grandmother." Don't get excited, be careful of hurting your body, the harmful prefect has been taken by me, and you can live a good life in the future. ”

The old woman smiled gratefully, her expression a little frightened.

Fang Zheng smiled: "Don't be afraid, don't treat me as an official, you will treat me as your grandson, and in the end, you will be an official." He is also a servant of the people."

Gu Ang exclaimed: "My lord, how does this work?" Don't do that."

Yi Zheng frowned unhappily and said, "Why can't you do it?" This woman is so old that she is more than enough to be my grandmother, what is wrong with treating me like a grandson? Isn't it possible? I was born in the people, and I want to be the grandson of the people, and if anyone stops me from being a grandson, I will be anxious! ”

Gu Ang was shocked and said, "My lord, how can this be? The subordinate can't afford it."

"What do you mean? I'm her grandson, what's in your way? Fang Zheng snorted dissatisfied.

Gu Ang said with a sad face: "My lord, you have no objection to being a grandson, but this woman "She is the old mother of a lower official, a sharp person"

Fang Zheng: ""

Today I'm on holiday, huh. If you don't drink high, tomorrow will be the same, if you drink high, well, tomorrow will only be three or four thousand words,

It's a holiday, hehe. Ha ha. Hey hey"
