Chapter 50: The Way of the World Has Changed
ps: The second update, ask for collection, ask for recommendation!
Zhuge Temple Town, Guanjia.
Just when the Chen family was being forced into danger step by step, the Guan family's big house, which was another target of Li Zhao, was also disturbed by a sudden letter.
This letter was written by He Huazhang. Yes, it is He Huazhang who harmed Gao Yanming and Chen Jigong.
This guy, who was searched by the Chen family in Lushan County and couldn't find any clues, lived in an inn not far from the Guan family's mansion, and then reached out to Guan Heze to ask for money.
His capital is his mouth! A mouth that can closely unite the flower and willow affairs that are popular in Ruzhou with the Guan family. As long as he came forward and said that it was Guan Heze who asked him to do the original thing, the reputation of the Guan family would be completely stinky. This 'smell' will quickly spread from Ruzhou to Guan Lin in Kaifeng Mansion, and then the future of the Guan family will be completely gone.
Li Zhao used this to provoke the Chen family and the Guan family to fight again, but he was unsuccessful, but he was still able to pit Guan Heze ruthlessly.
Li Zhao cooperated with Changrui in Lushan County to set up the Chen family, and in Baofeng County, he naturally cooperated with the magistrate of Baofeng County to set up the Guan family. It's just that the magistrate of Baofeng County is not strong, or that this adult's greed is not as good as Changrui's, and with a light fishing, he will take the bait. Baofeng County just cut off a piece of meat in Zhuge Temple Town, and then shook his hand and left. He should share a lot of Li Zhao's copper, but Li Zhao didn't expect to exert so much influence on Baofeng Zhixian as he did on Chang Rui.
Baofeng Zhixian is a veteran official who has been in office for two years, and the entire Baofeng County has mastered everything. Unlike Chang Rui, who has just arrived in the past two months, many things have been supported by Li Tianhe and Chen Hui before, and Li Tianhe, who is a classic history, is Li Zhao's person. In Baofeng County, there is no second 'Li Tianhe'!
Li Zhao is just a state official, and he is not so powerful that every county adjutant has his people.
In the main hall, Guan Heze stopped speaking with a gloomy face, and his eldest son Guan Song was anxious. Where is this related to Guan Lin alone, this is also related to the third generation. If He Huazhang's mouth didn't open the door, the entire Guan family would be finished.
"Dad, why don't I go and get the ...... surnamed He" Guan Song leaned in front of Guan Heze and whispered, rubbing the knife with his right hand and slashing fiercely under Guan Heze's nose.
"Stupid. Do you think there is no one behind He Huazhang? Guan Heze blew his beard and glared, his eldest son is also half a hundred years old, why can't he grow some brains?
Guan Song's face flushed: "But, but that can't be blackmailed by the surname He." ”
Guan Heze sighed bitterly, the Guan family was in big trouble. It's ridiculous that he was still gloating about what happened to the Chen family the day before yesterday, and now the Guan family has also suffered this disaster. Guan Heze couldn't help but complain about the Chen family in his heart, you said that your surname is Chen, you understood this matter early, and gave an 'official conclusion', which was terrible, procrastinating, and finally dragging down the entire Guan family!
……
Lushan County.
On the top of the county government hall, Chen Gang was put to the ground by two officials with two sticks, and stepped forward to take it. Chen Gang was stunned, "Insulting Sven, insulting Sven." I am a dignified talent, and I am famous, how dare Chang Rui Dog Officer insult me? ? "Chen Gang is going crazy, Chang Rui actually let the official beat him with a stick, and he has to put himself in prison.
Chang Rui above the court smiled coldly, and when he didn't see Chen Gang's angry eyes, "Little Xiucai also dares to roar at the court." You have already succeeded his family, and if you study the books of the sages behind closed doors, this official will be ready to spare you. As a result, you yourself came to find death. Xiucai, what about Xiucai? Since this official has beaten you, he will not let the talent and fame on your head be stable. Someone, escort me! ”
"Chen Gang Xiaoer, let the county hear clearly, within ten days, the county wants you to shine on the head!" Looking at the back of Chen Gang who was escorted down, Chang Rui smiled disdainfully. If it weren't for the time spent traveling back and forth to Kaifeng City, he would have already gotten rid of Chen Gang's talent and fame.
In ten days at most, Hatu will be able to rush back to Lushan, and with the great grandmaster's Xu Ken, he will be able to cut Chen Gang into a tabula rasa immediately. As for whether a provincial school politician is willing to sell him a face, Chang Rui is not worried at all. His little county magistrate's face may not be recognized by the great grandmaster, but what about the silver in vain? Three hundred taels of silver plus the face of his banner man, he doesn't worry about the great grandmaster not spitting.
Chang Rui's dominance spread throughout Lushan on the same day. Chen Gangxiu's fame was still there, so he dared to directly put him in prison, and clamored to cut Chen Gang into a blank slate within ten days. Chang Rui is so arrogant and domineering! But when the news came out, no gentry stood up to reason for Chen Gang, and even the county's edicts were closed at home. It was Gao who took people to the gate of the county government to make a fuss, but it was useless.
"Dog officer, dog officer. This dog official just wants the lives of my Chen family! Facing Gao Peng, Gao screamed with exhaustion, angry and angry, and his hands and feet trembled.
Similarly, this news also transmitted back to Tumenji as quickly as possible. Everyone in the Chen clan was silent. Chang Rui has already used practical actions to show his attitude, he is ready to kill the Chen family. A piece was reported to Tumenji and the east direction of the county government catcher, Zhou Tianyi's dog things did not copy the Chen family in the county seat, but took 30 strong classes, as well as a group of fast catchers and white servants, a total of 120 or 30 people rushed towards Tumenji.
This Zhuang class is the people's strong, and a county government is not very numerous. Taking Lushan County as an example, there are a total of 65 people in the third class, including 35 in the Zhuang class. But that was only the imperial court establishment, and the county government in the Manchu Qing Dynasty was more of a 'temporary worker'. Generally speaking, there are often three or four "white servants" under a regular servant. Usually, there are hundreds of officials in small counties, and thousands or even thousands of people in large counties. Zhou Tianyi can be said to have brought out almost all of the Zhuang class this time. plus the fast catchers under his command, one hundred and twenty or thirty people. In the eyes of Chang Rui and Zhou Tianyi, this number must be able to suppress Tumenji. After all, they represent the government. This is the biggest backer of Zhou Tianyi and his entourage, not a simple competition of human force.
Chen Ming had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes looked at the people in front of him, now these people should know that Chang Rui's heart is ruthless, right? Stop taking chances. Chang Rui just wants to beat the Chen family in one fell swoop, and he can't turn over.
"Since everyone doesn't speak, the younger generation will acquiesce to everyone. Then please go back first, elders. The juniors and Uncle Erbao also had to discuss how to deal with Zhou Tianyi and his party. "And after solving Zhou Tianyi's wave of people, the next thing to do is to break into the county seat and break the prison.
Chen Ming's words were a bit unkind. But when the 'way of the world' changes, so does the power structure.
In the past, the Chen family was able to do business properly, so Chen Quan's right to speak was very important, but on that day, Chen Quan chose to follow the crowd, which was equivalent to giving up his right to speak. Now that the Chen family has been transformed into a 'bandit', the right to speak must of course be transferred to the person with the knife handle in his hand.
