"Father, aren't you afraid that these people will tell the county?" Chu Yuan asked. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"These people used to follow the old man because there was only a dead end to go against the Chu family, but now the appearance of the Wang family boy gives them hope of getting rid of the Chu family. Although he didn't dare to publicly support this kid, he still did the news to him. The Chu family said.
"Why doesn't the father let the child stay with the county honor, so that he can understand the county honor's every move,"
"If you go to the Wang family's side, in the eyes of the other four families, it is the Chu family who has taken refuge in the Wang family, and in order to protect themselves, they will inevitably defect to the Wang family, so that the Wang family will control Dangyang without much effort. And in order to gain the trust of the county, those families will definitely do their best to support him, and the Chu family can only follow suit. ”
"Doesn't my father also want to eliminate the bandits in Dangyang? Now that the county is doing this, is it just fulfilling his father's wish? ”
"Do it yourself and do it with others, the result is the same in the eyes of the onlooker, but you ignore who took the benefit." The head of the Chu family looked at his son, his eyes were full of love, ""
In Zhao's mansion, the head of the Zhao family is still enlightening his son. "The Chu family is too deep." The head of the Zhao family said, "You were not born, you have not experienced those days, those families who were against the Chu family back then all had inexplicable accidents, the family was ruined, and the remaining families did not dare to do right with the Chu family, so they could only take refuge in the Chu family and be vassals of his family." The Chu family can be said to be the same in Dangyang, and no one dares to resist. ”
"As far as the child knows, the conditions offered by the county to the Chu family are the best, no wonder the Chu family does not agree."
"It's the best, but it's a pity that if you agree to the conditions of the county, the fate of the Chu family will not be in the hands of the Chu family."
"Since the Chu family doesn't agree, why does my father agree to the conditions of the county?"
"To each his own according to his needs. The county is about to deal with the Chu family, even if the county wins, he will not let a certain family dominate. The reason why Dangyang is in serious trouble is because the Chu family has encroached on too many fields, and the Chu family only needs land and no people, so those people have to be bandits in order to survive. In order to deal with these bandits, the Chu family used the power of the government on the one hand, and colluded with the bandits on the other hand, and used bandits to control the bandits. This is the reason why the Chu family wants to be the thief Cao Peng, the thief Cao Peng is in charge of the army, which can deal with both bandits and those who are disobedient. This time, Taishou transferred the county soldiers, but gave the county Zun the opportunity to expand his strength, but he would not hand over the soldiers he had worked so hard to train to others. So taking advantage of the opportunity of the resignation of the head of the Chu family, he pushed the boat down the river to get rid of the thief Cao Peng of the head of the Chu family. ”
"Father is saying that the Chu family feels in danger because they have lost their position as a thief, so no matter what benefits the county respects him, he will not agree?"
"The county lord came here to calm down the bandits, calm the people's hearts, and want to make contributions, as long as he can quell the bandits, he can use any method and dare to use it. Haven't you noticed that there is a clause on the notice of appeasement, that meritorious deeds can be considered at their discretion, and as for what constitutes a meritorious act, it all depends on the words of the county honorable. Those bandits will definitely confess certain people in order to save their lives, who do you think they will confess? ”
"Whoever the county lord wants to get rid of, they will bite whomever they want."
The head of the Zhao family said: "Who believes the words of the bandits? If you have no evidence, you will frame others, and it is easy to get into trouble. In order to deal with their opponents, the Chu family should have dealt with bandits, and those bandits who have survived until now are not fools, and there must be evidence of collusion between the Chu family and them, which is what the county respects. As long as there is this evidence, what will happen to the Chu family depends on the county. ”
The Chu family and four other families jointly sued Wang An, and soon spread throughout Dangyang County and also reached Wang An's ears. Wang An found Shi Duan: "Chu Yuan is unwilling to take over your position, does Mr. have other candidates?" ”
Shi Duan said: "Since the county zun came to me, I still hope to stay in the next office, in fact, why didn't the county zun transfer Tian Dalang to his side?" ”
"But he still has to be in charge of the school, now I have no one available in Dangyang County, and the territory will be bigger in the future, and it will be even more stretched."
Shi Duan looked at Wang An and said, "The county is worried about Tian Dalang's father, right?" ”
Wang An did not answer.
"In fact, the chief steward has already handed over the decision to his uncle and grandson, but his uncle and grandson are jealous of the chief steward and can't make up his mind for a long time. I didn't bring Tian Dalang to Chang'an, and I didn't bring him to Dangyang, do you want him to stay in Xinye forever in the future? The uncle and grandson should have confidence in themselves, just like the Chu family came forward to sue the county honor, and the county lord was still in the mood to choose a guard. ”
"I also act according to the rules, the Chu family has sent the case to the Taishou Mansion, the Taishou should issue a document for me to defend myself, if the Taishou feels that there are problems on both sides, he will send someone down to investigate the situation. I'd like Taishou to send someone over and take a look. Wang An pointed to the barracks, soldiers and craftsmen, "Now that the barracks have been repaired, and they are ready to repair the county school and renovate the river, which requires money, and the people who are too guarded will definitely say that I abuse the people's power and want to rest with the people, these Confucian scholars know that they can rest with the people and compete with the people." But they never asked the people what they wanted. ”
