Chapter 640: The Rebellion and the Divorce
The sudden change in the situation between Xiuning and Wuyuan, according to the time spent on the road, may not have reached the Huizhou Mansion and Shexian County Government so quickly, but as early as a few days ago, there were already rumors on the streets of the interconnected prefecture and county town that Wuyuan and Xiuning had been in chaos, and some people even said conclusively that the county offices in both places had been occupied by unknown people, and even placed under house arrest. So far, the two county governments have completely lost contact. However, before the Huizhou government could react, it encountered the same extraordinary incident.
Because although Qimen, Jixi, and Yixian have not yet been outrageous as the chaotic people impacting the county government, there are seven or eight hundred people in the three counties who have gone to the capital city of Huizhou and the county seat of Shexian County.
Yao Huizu, the prefect of Huizhou, only felt anxious. Since Wang Fulin sent Shuai Jiamo back last year, he has been allowing this person to go around to complain and complain, connect with the township, and cause a lot of noise, because this is also related to the decree of equal service that Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the current dynasty, will implement next. However, the reason why we chose to go all out at this time to promote the Junping Xia tax silk in the six counties of Huizhou, is also because of the secret letter sent by Zhang Juzheng. Although Zhang Juzheng's letter did not specify it, he was able to understand it as Zhang Dang's confidant at the level of magistrates.
Yu Maoxue's book on Chen Zhuan's five things seems to be no better than the impeachment of Zhang Juzheng before the Liaodong Patrol pressed Liu Tai, but because the attack is wider, what he said seems to be more pertinent. Therefore, Zhang Juzheng could not punish him for his words. He could only be dismissed from his post as a citizen in the name of Emperor Wanli. But after all, I hated it in my heart. Therefore, when Yu Maoxue had already returned to his hometown, he deliberately picked out two sentences in front of Xue Chao, and saw Shuai Jiamo return to his hometown as if he was returning to his hometown, thinking that once there was a riot in the counties, Zhang Juzheng would be able to buckle a big hat on Yu Maoxue, and when the time came, he would be reconsidered, then I am afraid it would be a big crime like confiscating the army and banishing Zhulian's whole family!
In this way, Zhang Juzheng should be able to resolve his hatred!
But the premise of this matter is. He, the prefect of Huizhou, was able to control the situation and press down the matter as quickly as possible, but now he was trapped in the government office and couldn't move, and the third class of officials used water and fire sticks to rush through once, but he soon came back in embarrassment, saying that a fence was erected in front of someone's government to resist horses, and he couldn't get out at all!
Therefore, in a fit of anger, Yao Huizu's anger naturally wanted to rush at Shexian Ling Xue Chaosa. After all, it was Xue Chao who greeted Shuai Jiamo before, and then made all kinds of fanfare. even brought people to see him in the same sedan chair, and then personally went out to publicize Shuai Jiamo with great fanfare. He also made a noise to the people that he intended to go to the government to pay taxes in the summer, which was obviously for the sake of political achievements and reputation, and he didn't even want his face, and it was more than enough to succeed and more than to lose! However, when a person is not in front of him, he is angry and in vain. At this time, he was trapped in the mansion, and he could only hope that Huining Daofeng, who happened to go to Ningguo Mansion, would be able to rush back quickly after getting the news.
After all, there is still a garrison in Huizhou Mansion, that is, Xin'anwei, Huining Dao barely has the title of rectifying the military garrison, and there is also the duty of military garrison in addition to the patrol road, and he can mobilize soldiers and horses, which he can't do as the prefect of Huizhou! Even if the news of the transfer of troops to quell the chaos spreads, in an instant, the evaluation of his prefect will fall to the lowest level, but it is better than making a big mess!
"Sir, sir."
Just as Yao Huizu was wandering around in the study like a trapped beast, a cautious voice suddenly came from outside. Impatient, he came in, and in a moment, a man pushed open the door and came in, but he had a letter in his hand. Seeing Yao Huizu's brows furrowed, the person who came hurriedly explained: "Master, this was tied to an arrow and shot in, but because the payment was made by Wang Gongzi of Songming Mountain, the subordinate did not dare to slack off, and immediately took it in." ”
As soon as he heard that it was Wang Fulin, Yao Huizu remembered that Wang Fulin, who was said to be very active about the Junping Xia tax silk in the past, advocated slowing down this time, and hurriedly stepped forward and snatched the letter in his hand. When he tore open the seal of the fire paint and took the letterhead in his hand, he swept down the ten lines at a glance, and couldn't help but gasp, because the letter clearly stated that Wang Fu Forestry had sent someone to intercept the emergency documents sent by Xiuning Chen Xianzun to Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangzhou, but he didn't know whether it was true or not. He took a deep breath, and when he saw Wang Fulin say that Wuyuan County ordered Wu Xuan to be transferred away from the mountain, and there were even outlaws who intended to assassinate him halfway, but he sent someone to help him in time halfway, Wu Xuan had already returned to Wuyuan to suppress the overall situation, and Xiuning also had righteous people come forward to expose the traitor's plan, which should not be calmed down, although he was shocked and angry after reading it, but finally had a feeling of letting go.
Seeing that the letter finally said that he would personally come forward tomorrow at noon to suppress the rebels, and there would be a corresponding Sasuke at that time, and if he agreed, he would hang lanterns on the palace and the door, he immediately said without thinking: "Go, send someone to hang the lanterns on the house and the door!" ”
Even if he didn't know how Wang Fulin did it to take precautions, but now as long as he can calm things down, he can't take care of anything else!
Compared with Yao Huizu, the prefect of the Huizhou Mansion, Xue Chao was more called a life like a year. After all, Yao Huizu has been in office for several years, and he has been in business for a long time, so he has some prestige in the government, not to mention anything else, even if the three classes and six rooms can't be like the fingers, it will never be contrary to the yang and the yin. But Xue Chao is different, although he has two very heavy fellow villagers in the court, but after all, he is a newcomer to the Jinshi, when he urged Kexia to tax autumn grain, he could still hold the big stick of the imperial court decree, so that the three classes and six rooms did not dare to disobey, but now that something happened, he experienced the taste of being alone.
Even the priests and wardens who flattered him in the past and the white-clothed scribes, in the past, because they hoped to be able to get their hands on the three rooms of the six rooms, the most noble, the most powerful, and the most oily and watery officials' rooms, household rooms, and torture rooms, they all patted his ass, but now they are like hiding from the plague, and he pretends to be deaf and dumb when he calls anyone to ask for ideas. As for the three squad leaders of the fast class, the soap class, and the strong class, it is said that there are a lot of servants in the third class on weekdays, but on the day when the county government was surrounded, there were only two or three big cats and kittens in the county office, and there were less than fifty of all the white service helpers of the main and deputy servants!
These fifty barely rushed once. was smashed back with stones and bricks by the people of the three counties who surrounded the county government. And that's not all. At this moment, even in the study, he could hear the overwhelming voice of the dog official outside. You must know that he is an official who is completely aimed at famous ministers who will go down in history, where is he willing to bear the reputation of a dog official in the place where he just came out?
"Damn, damn it!"
Standing in front of Xue Chao, Master Liu only felt that he was a lonely boat in the turbulent sea, which could capsize and sink at any time. Although the relationship between him and Xue Chao is theoretically only a guest-host relationship, they can face such a sinister situation. Under the head, Yang Feng Yin is violated, and Xue Chao can only sprinkle all the anger on his head. Because it was Master Liu who went to contact Wang Shangning and others, and it was Shuai Jiamo who he went to Xuancheng to pick up. At the moment, even if Master Liu is secretly ruthless in his heart, he will resign from this master when the matter is resolved, and no longer serve Xue Chao, a bad-tempered and incapable Dong Weng, but he still has to think of an idea for Xue Chao to solve the siege in line with the duties of the master.
And when Xue Chao heard Master Liu spit out that idea, he couldn't help but be so angry that he scolded again: "Do you have any brains, Yao Fuzun, who this county personally took Shuai Jiamo to meet." Then he was sent home in a sedan chair, and most of those drums and flags were purchased by the county. The people also gathered before the county posted notices, and now you let the county put all the blame on him, can those people outside believe it? ”
"Of course I can believe it!" Although Xue Chao's tone made Master Liu very unhappy, he still patiently persuaded him, "Dong Weng is an official, they are the people, as long as they see that they are besieging the county government to ask for an explanation, instead of rushing in, this is already obvious." After all, there is still a new security guard in Huizhou Mansion, and if it really comes to that point, even if they don't get ordered, they may be dispatched. Therefore, what the people of the three counties who made trouble wanted a statement that satisfied them and could vent their anger, so why didn't Dong Weng give them one? Even if the county respected Shuai Jiamo again, it was before, as long as he was deceived by it! ”
Thinking about turning his face and not recognizing people, it is not uncommon in officialdom, and then thinking about his current bad situation, Xue Chao weighed it again and again, and finally put his heart sideways, but of course he refused to say that he planned to listen to Master Liu's advice, and sold Shuai Jiamo to those rebellious people to vent his anger, but gritted his teeth and said: "It's all this Shuai Jiamo's exaggeration, Nanjing Hubu and Yingtian Governor are just issuing cards to investigate the files of Huizhou Mansion Xia Tax Silk in detail, but he lied that the matter has been settled; He obviously only donated the nine-grade crown belt, but he lied that he had donated the official one. If it weren't so ostentatious, why would it arouse the wrath of the people? Moreover, the Pingxia tax silk, the imperial court has not yet issued an explicit order, and the county will go out to see those people outside the county office! ”
Seeing Xue Chao striding out after putting down these words, Master Liu couldn't help but sneer contemptuously. This is how to be an official, and to be a ** and to set up a memorial arch, it is obviously ruthless to turn his face, but he has to make excuses!
He said it toughly, but when Xue Chao really saw that the gate of the county government was in sight, and he could faintly see a large number of black heads, he already felt that his legs were a little weak. When sitting in the lobby, no matter how many people kneel and kowtow, he will not have the slightest stage fright, but when facing those who are not his own people, but are likely to threaten his future or even his life, his little composure from reading and nourishing his qi will naturally go to Java. But now there was no room to retreat, and he could only step forward with heavy steps, all the way to the gate.
In this position, the shouting voice naturally rushed towards him, almost making him breathless. After tearing his throat and calling for silence again and again, and after Master Liu came up to help again, he finally quieted down the noisy crowd for a while, and then some voices shouted hoarsely: "Everyone, everyone, the Pingxia tax silk is the people's handsome Jiamo on his own, and he is telling everywhere, whether it is the government or the county, they are still checking the old files of the year, and they have not yet said anything about changes, so please don't believe the rumors......"
Before he could finish speaking, someone spat at him. Although Xue Chao turned his head to dodge at the last moment, he still almost fell down in embarrassment. Faced with the situation that the crowd was clamoring again for a moment, he could only shout hoarsely: "If you don't believe it, the county will issue a card ticket and immediately arrest Shuai Jiamo." In the name of bewitching the public, creating something out of nothing, and spreading rumors, it will be dealt with immediately! ”
After he repeated this over and over again, the people outside finally quieted down suspiciously. Xue Chao was also single, and directly asked Master Liu to get the county order seal, but the other person who went to the torture room to get the card returned in vain. Facing Xue Chao's fire-breathing gaze, the relatives hurriedly explained: "Master, it was the Xiao priest of the torture room who said that it was Tangzun who personally welcomed Shuai Jiamo into the county government before, and then sent people to the government office with the sedan chair, but now he wants to issue a card ticket to arrest this Shuai Jiamo, forgive him for not daring to obey the order, he doesn't want to be poked in the backbone and scolded for rape!" ”
It has always been indispensable to arrest people's tickets, issue tickets in the torture room, and sign county orders, which is also a rule.
Xue Chao didn't know this rule, but he didn't expect that Xiao Zhenyue, the priest of the torture room who was still respectful in the past, would dare to fight against him. If there was a mirror in front of him, Xue Chao would definitely see that his face was as red as fire, but he found that the people of the three counties gathered outside the door were clamoring again, and he could only roar angrily: "If he is not willing to draw up this card, then the county of this torture room will be replaced!" It is difficult for the people in the torture room to die, let others come, if anyone wants this card, who is the new official! ”
Seeing that Xue Chao's face was gradually turning blue, he stubbornly said: "The little one knows that the master is in urgent need, and he has already shouted before, but no one in the torture room responded......
"What about the rest of the rooms? The county doesn't believe that no one in the three classes and six rooms can write this card ticket! ”
"That's it...... No one wants to write. "Who is not afraid of being scolded and raped, the eldest master is leaving, but the servants of the third class and six rooms are going to be for many years!
Even if he was blocked in the county government before, even if he had already endured humiliation when he came out before, even if he put the responsibility on Shuai Jiamo, Xue Chao was really a little uncomfortable in his heart...... But none of this is as big as the fact that no one in the sixth room of the county government is willing to issue this card ticket to arrest people. He was almost so angry that his whole body was trembling, and Master Liu couldn't care about slander at this time, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help.
As soon as they thought that this scene was clearly seen by the people of the three counties outside, the guests and hosts all felt panicked and panicked. Xue Chao mustered up his last bit of strength and shouted viciously at his relatives: "You go and tell them, if this chaos can't be calmed down, no one in the three classes and six rooms in this yamen will be able to escape!"
