Chapter 118, the people besiege the yamen

When Rong Zhi heard this, he looked at Shen Mu with a blank look, although his facial expression did not change much, his eyes unconsciously shrank, showing that his heart was not as indifferent as he appeared on his face.

Shen Mu's gaze at Shang Rongzhi did not dodge, let alone wander, he just looked at the other party calmly, waiting for the other party to make an appropriate choice.

After a while, Rong Zhi finally seemed to have made some kind of decision, and his eyes returned to their original state and said, "Okay, I'll go with you Jinyiwei!" ”

When Shen Mu heard this, he also retracted his gaze, gave way to the side, and then said to Han Lin and Yuanchen who were standing on both sides of Rongzhi: "Lord Rong has made great contributions to the people of Jixi County, the two eldest brothers, please reserve some dignity for Lord Rong, so you don't have to get rid of the official uniform and hat for the time being, okay?" ”

No matter why Rong Zhi colluded with the Maitreya Sect, this person is worthy of his appointment in Jixi County, and he is worthy of the people of Jixi County, and he is worthy of the official robe on his body and the official hat on his head.

When Han Yuan and the others heard this, they looked stunned and took a step back, which was equivalent to agreeing to Shen Mu's request.

Rong Zhi's original steps also paused slightly, as if he was surprised that Shen Mu, who had been threatening him before, would say this, but he still nodded at Shen Mu and walked down from the lobby slowly.

Seeing this, the officials of Jixi County, who were standing under the hall, all looked at Rong Zhi in unison, but their eyes were very complicated, and many of them still had a worried face.

Most of the people standing under the hall are smart people, and they always pay attention to everything that happens in the hall, especially the confrontation between Jinyiwei and the patrol Yushi, and at this moment, they see that Rongzhi is willing to go with Jinyiwei.

Some people have already realized that Shen Mu must have said something when he faced the Rong County Order just now, which made the Rong County Order's attitude change.

And these people seem to be looking at Shen Mu with their eyes for the first time.

Previously, they saw that Shen Mu was so young and a fresh face, and many people thought that Shen Mu was just the son of the brocade guard that Liang Baihu brought out to practice.

But at this time, seeing that Shen Mu could decide some things by himself without consulting Liang Baihu, and his behavior seemed calm and gentle, and he didn't see a little jerky, he realized that this young man might also be a powerful character in Jinyiwei.

I don't know where I came from?

Liang Baihu saw that many people present finally began to look at Shen Mu with straight eyes, and his expression was a little less cold in the face of Liu Yushi.

If he initially took care of this kid purely out of personal friendship, but after these years of getting along and competing, he really liked this kid.

It's not that this kid is smart and clever, but that the other party has a sincere and soft heart.

He has been in the brocade guard for so many years, and he has long seen all kinds of people in the world, the smart, the stupid, the kind, the vicious, the cold, the pretending to be innocent, the hypocritical and the pretentious, etc.

Therefore, I know that the allusion of Shengmien's fight against Mi Hatred, a smart person with a bad heart, you can let him do things, but you can't be a confidant, and even secretly watch out for it in private, beware of this person who will betray you one day and climb up.

He didn't want to spend energy cultivating such people, after all, Shen Mu was not a child of their Liang family, he was an outsider.

Only a person who truly knows how to be grateful will let him put aside the view of blood and make it worth his effort to teach.

Over the years, he has also seen all kinds of Ming officials, and in the face of Rongzhi, in fact, his mood is also complicated.

Although Rong Zhi made a mistake, he is indeed an impeccable good official to the people of Jixi County, and this kid clearly wants to retain a dignity for Rong Zhi at this moment.

But if the softness of the heart is used on the enemy, this is inevitably a bit soft-hearted, and not every enemy will be grateful.

Thinking of this, he looked at the back of Rong Zhi who was about to walk out of the lobby, his eyes narrowed, maybe he could use Rong Zhi's life and death as a knife to sharpen this kid.

Let this kid know that sometimes there are trade-offs that must be made when it is time to make trade-offs.

Shen Mu followed Rong Zhi and them out of the gate of Jixi County, and the other people in the hall also came out.

"Lord Rong, you are ......" The people watching outside the door originally came to watch the Qi family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law complain.

Who knew that after the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had just entered the court, the father and son of the Qi family's shopkeeper appeared intact, which made their group of people feel a little disappointed.

But then the Qi father and son were brought into the court again, and they haven't dispersed yet, wondering what the eldest master can do when he comes to Jixi County?

Who knew that he was waiting and waiting, but he saw Lord Rong walking out, followed by two brocade guards, and someone noticed that something seemed to be wrong, and immediately asked.

Because Rong Zhi has been the county magistrate for four years, he has done many things himself, and he does not put the county lord on the shelf, and his appearance is particularly affinity, and his speech makes people feel like a spring breeze, so he is very loved by the people of Jixi County.

On weekdays, the official authority is not heavy, and when I meet the people of Jixi County on the street, I often stop to chat with each other, so some people dare to ask such a face-to-face question.

When Rong Zhi heard this, he couldn't help but stop, looking at the people in front of the county office, he said the names of many people, but at this moment, what can he say and explain? just said in a dumb voice: "Let's all go back!" Stop gathering around the yamen. ”

"Lord Rong...... We won't come back, my lord, what's wrong with you? Rong Zhi's attitude made the onlookers more aware of other unusual things happening.

How did they leave willingly.

"Jin Yiwei said that the adult had collusion with the Maitreya bandits, and he wanted to take the adult back for interrogation." Well-informed people in the crowd immediately gave the answer.

"What? Maitreya bandits? How is this possible? ”

"Take Lord Rong back for interrogation?"

"Yes, how is this possible, it must be that Jinyiwei caught the wrong person!"

"That's it, Jin Yiwei has always liked to arrest people indiscriminately! We can't let them take Lord Rong away, Lord Rong must be wronged! Unjust! ”

"That's it, let go of Lord Rong, let go of Lord Rong!" After hearing the news, the onlookers were immediately indignant, and were encouraged by the people below, and these ordinary people actually rushed to Rong Zhi's side.

Seeing this, Han Lin and Yuan Chen sweated down on their heads, and they also knew that these grass people were as weak as rabbits on weekdays, but if they launched a ruthless attack, it was really not something that one or two of them could resist.

Fortunately, there was no official robe and hat just now, and there was no lock to take the other party, otherwise these grass people might have rushed up and beat up a few of them.

Speaking of which, I don't know if the feng shui in Jixi County is a bit evil or because there are too many scholars, and the people here are much more courageous than the people in other places.

Fortunately, these people were not completely awe-inspiring towards Jinyiwei, and after they rushed forward, they did not openly rob people, but knelt on the ground in unison, blocking Han Lin's way, and kowtowed again and again: "Please also ask Lord Jinyiwei not to arrest Lord Rong, don't arrest Lord Rong!" ”

Liu Yushi and his party also walked out of the county hall at this moment, and seeing this, Liu Yushi seemed to have something to say: "When you are an official, you should be like a county order!" ”

"Please also press the courtyard to make decisions for us in Jixi County, and for Lord Rong!"

The officials of Jixi County walked out of the yamen, looked at the people who knelt on the ground outside, and the people who came from afar also took advantage of this momentum to come out from behind Liu Yushi, knelt on the steps outside the county yamen on the spot, and kowtowed in unison.

"This ...... Anyway, according to the institute, the chapter will be sent to the cabinet, and the brocade clothes and guards will be seen how Mu Bin will explain to the emperor in the palace. ”

As soon as the words fell, he looked at the back of Liang Baihu who had already descended the steps, and snorted coldly.

……

"Brother Shen, look at this ......" Han Lin looked at the people who were kneeling on the ground in front of him, and did not continue to rush up, the hand that was originally pressed on the scabbard loosened a little, he planned that if someone came up and pushed him again just now, he would take the knife out of the sheath on the spot and kill one or two heads to maintain order in order for self-preservation.

But when these ordinary people knelt on the ground at the same time, kowtowed in unison, and prayed with their faces, his still cold and hard heart involuntarily softened, thinking that Shen Mu had more methods, and immediately turned back to ask Shen Mu's opinion.

Shen Mu had been observing these people just now to see if there were any people who deliberately stirred up trouble, and at present, it seemed that Rong Zhi was taken away as an emergency, even if people with bad intentions were mixed in with these people, it should not be too late to make a better response.

It's not a good thing to be blocked by the people at the entrance of the yamen like this, this is clearly a Ming **! If it is not handled well, it will lead to many disastrous consequences, and I am afraid that Liang Baihu may not be able to bear it.

is still the same sentence, the bell must be tied to the bell, so he took two steps forward, walked to Rongzhi's side and whispered:

"Lord Rong, look at these innocent people under your rule, they are obstructing Jinyiwei's case for the sake of the good officials in their minds.

And obstructing Jinyiwei's case is a conspiracy, if you arrest a few people and go back, lock them up for a few days, and set an example, I'm afraid it's not what Lord Rong wants to see! ”

In court just now, he used Li Xiaoyou's case to threaten Rong Zhi to give in, but at this moment, he repeated his old tricks, but in the name of the people.

For these people, if Jinyiwei forcibly drove them away, it would not be good for Jinyiwei's reputation, and Shen Mu didn't want Jinyiwei and the people of Jixi County to be on the opposite side.

If Rong Zhi really took these people to heart, he would not be indifferent to watching these people being implicated by him.

Sure enough, when Rong Zhi heard this, his face showed a complicated expression.

"I didn't expect that they would be like this, and ...... it" Rong Zhi muttered in a low voice, and then raised his head again and said loudly: "You folks are so grateful to Rong Zhi today, let Rong Zhi be inexplicably grateful, but it is a routine matter for Jinyi Wei to take away this official, and please let me go!" ”
