The residence of Lu Yu of Huiji County is located on the bank of the Li River behind the county office, the deep courtyard of the heavy gate, quiet and quiet at night, at this time Lu Yu is strolling under the orchid platform in the backyard, a person with wide robes and big sleeves next to him, the weather in October also gently shakes the small fan, the fan blows everywhere, the fragrance is familiar, but this person is the king of Pengcheng He Zhu.

He Yan smiled and said: "Brother Zishan, Chen Caozhi invited you and you didn't come, I must feel embarrassed and embarrassed, haha, I am about to ruin his prestige." ”

Lu Yu groaned: "Chen Caozhi is the envoy of the land, and I am the official in charge of the landfall in this county, so it stands to reason that I should go to the meeting, and now it seems inappropriate to show contempt for him like this." ”

He Zhu said with a smile: "Brother Zishan is a six-pin county and was born in the Sanwu clan, then Chen Caozhi is just a nine-pin expedition to Xipeng, the so-called left supervisor of the Tu Xuan Division seems to be weighted, but in fact there is no real product, and it will be revoked when the soil is over, even if he despises him, Chen Caozhi is powerless." ”

Lu Jiao said: "My father is the chief of the soil judgment department, I can't be too cold to Chen Caozhi's review of the soil judgment, it is necessary to be false and wronged, and secretly restrain it." ”

He Zhu said: "Could it be that Brother Zishan still wants to visit him like he did when he saw Shangguan!" ”

Lu Yu said: "I have already said, see you in the county government court tomorrow." ”

He Zhu said: "It is to let Chen Caozhi hit a wall, Chen Caozhi was deliberately exaggerated by those Beiling, what Jiang Zuo Weiju, what Wang Bi was resurrected, this is completely Beiling's conspiracy, you know, Chen Caozhi has earned enough reputation by talking to Ling Mei, but the Zishan brother clan is humiliated by this, and my three Wu clans are all disgraced." ”

Lu Yu "hummed", didn't want to mention this matter, last time he and his sister Wei Rui returned to Huating, Chen Caozhi actually chased Qu A to meet, he didn't know at the time, it was only later that he got the news, and the day before yesterday his brother Lu Yu sent a letter, saying that Chen Caozhi went to Huating to see Wei Rui this time, and he simply didn't put them in Lu's eyes, and now Wei Rui refuses to marry someone else, this matter has become a laughing stock, if Chen Caozhi is not severely punished, where is Lu's prestige! Therefore, Lu Yu asked his brother to plan a plan in Huiji, so that Chen Caozhi would be dismissed from office and imprisoned at worst, so as to show the majesty of the Sanwu clan-

Lu Yu said: "The three Wu clans are in the same breath? The Gu family, the Zhang family, and the Kong family all handed over seven or eight hundred hermits, while I, the Lu family, the Zhu family, and the He, Yu, and Wei families in this county only have three hundred hermits, doesn't this obviously show that we don't support the land break! ”

After Kong Wang and Chen Caozhi became friends, He Zhu angrily broke off relations with Kong Wang, this time Kong did not follow Lu Shi's instructions to resist the soil break, but handed over twice as many hidden households than He's, Yu's, and Wei's, which made He Zhu even more angry, and sneered: "Then it depends on whether Chen Caozhi and Zhu Yingtai can search for hidden households in my He Manor City, hehe, in order to please Huan Wen, Kong handed over hundreds of hidden households, but I am afraid that I will not be able to invite merit and be isolated in Huiji." ”

At this time, the servant came to report, and the official Zhang Lun asked to see him.

Zhang Lun is one of the fifteen subordinate officials under Lu Li, which is quite valued by Lu Li, he came to report to Lu Li that Chen Caozhi said those words in the county office, Lu Li was furious when he heard it, Chen Caozhi actually requisitioned all his subordinates, this is simply cutting his authority, and shouted angrily Zhang Lun: "You and others are all obeying him!" ”

Zhang Lun said in a low voice: "Chen Caozhi holds the edicts of Shangshutai and Situ Mansion, and Dai Neishi also said that I will obey Chen Zuojian during the review of the land break." ”

He Zhu was indignant and said: "Dai Shu is a northerner, and he really speaks for Chen Caozhi, Chen Caozhi has nothing to do with Brother Zishan, but he uses the subordinates of the county as a prestige, and now all the subordinates of Brother Zishan have become Chen Caozhi's subordinates, which is equivalent to depriving Brother Zishan of his authority, how should Brother Zishan deal with himself?" ”

Lu Li said angrily: "Zhang Lun, you and the other fourteen people are not allowed to see Chen Caozhi tomorrow - it really makes sense!" ”

He Zhu said: "Yes, I want to see what Chen Caozhi can do!" ”

Zhang Lun is very anxious, he is just a small official from a poor family, if the soil makes Chen Caozhi fight with Lu Li, then the unlucky ones can only be their subordinates, Lu Jiao is powerful, but Chen Caozhi is not very weak, Chen Caozhi has the power given by Shangshutai and Situ Mansion, and it is rumored that Chen Caozhi is the henchman of the big Sima Huanwen, even if Chen Caozhi can't fight Lu Li, but it is easy to deal with these little officials-

Zhang Lun said: "The county is angry, and listen to the words of the humble position, that Chen Caozhi said, persuading the family to hand over the hidden household is the duty of him and the deputy envoy Zhu, there is no need for me to wait for the effort, I just need to wait for the dispatch at any time, prepare the household registration, and deal with the daily affairs of the soil - why don't the county wait and see how Chen Caozhi persuades the county clan to hand over the hidden household, and thinks that Chen Caozhi must not be convinced, and then see how Chen Caozhi ends? ”

Lu Li also considered that if he ordered his subordinates to refuse to obey Chen Caozhi's orders, Chen Caozhi had the right to arrest these subordinates, so how would he respond? In this way, it will become fire and water, and there is no way out, it will become him Lu Li obstructing the earth, and his Lu family is unwilling to bear the brunt, and Lu Li is not so unwise.

Lu Li asked He Zhu: "Dao Fang, do you think Zhang Lun is reasonable?" ”

He Zhu understood what Lu Jiao meant, thought about it, and said: "If Brother Zishan allows Chen Caozhi to act like this, it will be too weak, and it is okay for the county officials to let Chen Caozhi send him, but he must give Chen Caozhi some problems, and prevent him from calmly lobbying the Huiji clan - Shangyu, Yuyao, and Yuji counties are not the people making trouble, then let it make more trouble." ”

Lu Yu said: "This matter has to be cautious, if it causes a civil uprising, it will be difficult for me to escape my responsibility as a Huiji Juncheng." ”

He Zhu said: "Brother Zishan, why worry too much, the mountain is better than the current Chen Caozhi has a foundation, not to be dismissed from Yuyao, those hidden households can't do much chaos, just pay close attention to and control, then you can put all the blame on Chen Caozhi's head, the court will not protect a Chen Caozhi in order to appease the Huiji clan, and the land will not be broken." ”

……

When Lu Li and He Zhu conspired, Chen Caozhi and Xie Daoyun in the county post also urged the clerks of the county office to copy and review the notice of the examination overnight, this notice was written by Xie Daoyun yesterday, and one hundred copies were copied tonight, and the next morning it was transmitted by a fast horse to the ten counties under the county, and a notice was posted at the Tongqu Guangyi, clearly stating that the hidden households found in the search would not be sent to other counties, but only stayed in this county, so that those rumors would be self-defeating.

The fifteen county officials came to listen to the dispatch of the land judgment envoy, Chen Caozhi sent ten of them to the ten counties of the county, so that they could cooperate with the local county officials to publicize the Gengxu land judgment order, so that the people knew the legal prohibition, the official Zhang Lun was in charge of the county seat Shanyin County, Zhang Lun did not go to the post notice, first went to report the matter to Lu Li, Lu Li looked at the notice, and said: "This Chen Caozhi is wise, knowing that the top priority is to calm the people's hearts first, but there is the He family in the secret fanning the flames, what is the role of these ten notices in each county, the government order changes every day, People tend to believe rumors rather than the government. ”

Lu Li asked Zhang Lun: "Where is Chen Caozhi now?" ”

Zhang Lun said: "Chen Shi went out of the city and visited the Wei family. ”

Lu Yu sneered and said: "Chen Zuojian is really diligent in the king's affairs, so he began to lobby the Huiji clan, and waited for good news." Wave your hand to let Zhang Lun go down.

……

The four major families of Huiji, except for the Yu family in Yuyao County, the other Wei family, Kong family, and He family are all in Shanyin County, the Wei family is the closest to the county seat, at the foot of Lanzhu Mountain in the south of the city, Chen Caozhi and Xie Daoyun were going to visit Wei Sien and Xie Shen separately, but they knew that Wei's manor and Xie's manor were not far away, and the two of them went to visit together It was grand, and it was easy to cause unnecessary misunderstandings to go alone, so they decided to visit Wei Sien together first, and then visit Xie Xingsi.

Xie Daoyun is still in the car today, and when he boarded the car, Chen Caozhi also said: "If Brother Yingtai is inconvenient, you don't have to go." ”

Xie Daoyun's face turned red, he snorted lightly, and said lightly: "There is nothing inconvenient, since I am a leader, I naturally have considerations." After that, I put down the curtain, feeling a little ashamed and annoyed, feeling that Chen Caozhi sometimes spoke too bluntly, just like the last time I learned to ride a horse, I reminded her to prepare calf nose pants, which made people embarrassed!

A group of people out of the south gate of Shanyin County, along the Li River to Lanzhu Mountain, Chen Caozhi rode a horse close to Xie Daoyun's ox cart, said: "Shengping three years, I went to Dongshan to ask Master Zhizhudu to treat his mother, passing through Shanyin, looking at Lanzhu from afar, thinking of Yi Shaogong Lanting Yaji, the group of sages are complete, and now Yi Shaogong has also been ancient-" Nai whispered: "Life everywhere knows what it is like, it should be like Feihong stepping on the slush, the mud occasionally leaves fingers and claws, and Hongfei has a complex calculation of the West and the East." ”

Xie Daoyun was silent for a long time, and somehow, such a verse appeared in his heart:

"There are vines and grass in the wild, and there is no dew. There is a beautiful person, clear and graceful. Encounters and encounters are suitable for my wishes. There are vines and grasses in the wild, and there is no dew. There is a beautiful person, as graceful as Qingyang. Encounter and meet, and meet with the son. ”

Xie Daoyun thought: "I know Zizhong and I know each other, is it Feihong Slush who accidentally left his fingers?" The curtain said: "Zizhong, that Wu domestic history Wei Sien is old and devoted to the Buddha, Zizhong studied the Buddhist scriptures, and today he can discuss the Buddha with Wei Neishi." ”

Chen Caozhi said with a smile: "It's strange to think about it, my purpose is to persuade the Wei family to hand over the hermitage, but I want to talk about the Buddhist scriptures with Wei Neishi." ”

Xie Daoyun asked: "I have read the translation of the "Anpan Shouyi Sutra" and "The Theory of Instant Color Travel", "The Theory of Sacred Non-Knowledge", and the Zhi Gong's discussion of the emptiness of nature, its meaning is difficult to understand, and I just heard the sentence of Zizhong's 'accidental fingers and claws on the mud', I think this Feihong exchange, isn't there also a certain origin, is it accidental?" ”

Chen Caozhi said: "Those four sentences are not Buddha's verses, they are just accidental feelings - dependent arising emptiness, dependent appearance, slush and claws, are not accidental." ”

Xie Daoyun smiled slightly and lowered the curtain.
