After visiting several heads of the family, Wang An reported the plan to appease the bandits to the Taishou Mansion. The local officials of the Han Dynasty www.biquge.info had great power and were the real "Baili Hou". However, the report to the superior should still be reported, so as not to cause the behavior of the superior, because the most taboo thing for the boss is not to report it. The so-called greater power brings great responsibility, the Han Dynasty's Zhulian not only refers to relatives, but also includes superiors and subordinates and colleagues, many people have done a good job themselves, but they were suddenly dismissed, just because they were dragged down by their subordinates and colleagues. Although the relationship between Wu Jianglong and Wang Mang is not good, it only involves a personal relationship, and it does not make things difficult for Wang An in official affairs.

Now that the superiors already knew, Wang An immediately posted the prepared notice. But this brings to mind the criminality of these people. Wang An first used the emperor's accession to the throne and amnesty to the world, and the crimes committed before this were written off. For crimes committed after that, they have surrendered as a reward, and they will be given lenient sentences, and no one will be sentenced to death. Of course, Wang An also added a time limit, and only by surrendering within 10 days can he avoid death, and after 10 days, meritorious deeds can be considered as appropriate.

"Master, will this be unfair to some people?" Kong Xun asked Wang An.

"Many of these people are people who can't afford to pay taxes and fall into the grass, these people don't want money, they want to die, and the government can't squeeze oil and water out of them, so it's better to exempt them from taxes, let these people go down the mountain to do things, earn some small money, and make some contributions to the local area. The New Year is also coming, it is better to sell personal favors, let them reunite with their families, and have a good New Year, which can enhance the reputation of this official in Dangyang. ”

"If those who have been murdered surrender themselves, how will the master deal with them?"

"Isn't there still seven branches, I just said that they should be exempted from death, and I didn't say that they should be exempted from military service, didn't this official's notice say that meritorious deeds can be considered as appropriate. As for the size of the meritorious service and how to reward it, it is not up to the official to have the final say. Wang An replied.

"The master thinks so beautiful everywhere, but how can there be so many cheap things in this world for the master to take advantage of. Could it be that others will watch the master pressing forward step by step and not make a move? ”

"Now I'm not ready, and others are not ready, it depends on their luck," Wang An looked at the notice, "Chu Yuan has already refused to be my bodyguard." ”

The head of the Chu family invited the other four heads of the family to the mansion, and the head of the Chu family spoke first: "A few days ago, the county lord came to the Chu family and wanted Yuan'er to be his guard, hoping that the Chu family would help him control Dangyang and deal with you." This matter has been rejected by the old man, if everyone is eliminated by the surname Wang, it will be the turn of the Chu family next. When Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms, he formed a good alliance with the Qi State, and when the Qin State attacked the other five countries, the Qi State also took the opportunity to send troops to make some benefits, but in the end, when the Qin State attacked the Qi State, the Qi State had to be captured. Although the old man is old, he is not stupid. But the old man was worried that some of us would not be able to resist the temptation and help outsiders deal with his own people. ”

Several other family owners have said that they will stand on the side of the Chu family and safeguard the interests of the people of Dangyang. The head of the Chang family was the first to stand up and support the head of the Chu family: "What the head of the Chu family said is right, this son is not small, and if he disagrees, he will make friends with outsiders to deal with us locals, in a vain attempt to buy us with small favors." ”

The head of the Zhao family suddenly asked: "I don't know what benefits the Wang family kid promised to the Chang family, can you say it and let everyone hear it?" It's also good to let others be on guard, and don't let people break each other. The head of the Zhao family stared at the head of the Chang family with his eyes.

The head of the Chang family glared at the head of the Zhao family, snorted for a while, and said: "The boy of the Wang family said that the Yuan family, a salt merchant in Chang'an, could contact the Chang family, and let the Chang family discuss the issue of selling salt in Dangyang with the Yuan family. After saying this, the head of the Chang family turned to look at the head of the Chu family and said: "For so many years, the fathers and villagers in Dangyang County have all grown up eating Chu family salt, and the contemptible people have also grown up eating Chu family salt, how can they do something sorry for the Chu family." "The salt in Dangyang County has always been controlled by the Chu family, and people outside can't come in at all, and some don't want to come in for a long time, but they all encounter accidents, so everyone gives up this thought.

After expressing his loyalty to the head of the Chu family, the head of the Chang family looked at the head of the Zhao family and said, "I heard that the boy surnamed Wang has been in the Zhao family for a long time. What is the explanation of the head of the Zhao family? ”

The head of the Zhao family looked at the head of the Chang family and said: "The boy of the Wang family came to the Zhao family, but he was entertained by the boy, the boy is not sensible, and he is the same age as the boy of the Wang family, so he has a little more time to talk." Besides, that day, the old man was a guest at the head of the Chu family, and he was not at home. ”

"Although your son is young, he is also the eldest son of the Zhao family, and in the eyes of outsiders, he represents the Zhao family, and everything he does is instructed by the head of the Zhao family." The head of the Chang family continued to hold on to this matter.

"The old man heard that when the children of the Wang family came to your mansions, they were all received by you in person, and only the Zhao family was greeted by the juniors, and the county was already neglected in terms of etiquette."

"Didn't the boy of the Wang family promise any benefits to the Zhao family?"

"Since the old man is not here, the kid can't be the master, and it's superfluous to talk about anything, how could the kid of the Wang family do such a stupid thing? So there was no mention of the benefits to the Zhao family at all. The head of the Zhao family said unhurriedly.

At this time, the head of the Chu family spoke to ease the atmosphere of both sides: "Okay, okay." No matter what benefits the boy surnamed Wang promises to you, as long as you don't agree, what's the harm in listening? Chu Yuan came out with a plate at this time, and the head of the Chu family said: "The contemptible person is ready to report to Taishou to be the head of Dangyang, after this person arrives, he can't afford it, he is a prisoner, he competes with the people for profit, and he bullies the market, and the people of Dangyang suffer greatly, and we all have the responsibility to report this person upward." If there is no opinion, please give your names to the subordinates, and Chu Yuan will personally present this letter to Taishou. I hope that Taishou can deal with this person and give justice to the people of Dangyang. Chu Yuan first brought the letter to the head of the Zhao family, and the head of the Zhao family picked up the letter and read it silently. After the four family heads read it, the Chu family head said: "If you have no objections, please sign your name." ”

The head of the Zhao family returned home and called his son: "You go and send a letter to the county honor, the Chu family has made a move." ”

"Isn't the head of the Chu family dissatisfied with the conditions of the county?"

"When did the imperial court remove officials from office because of a letter?" The Zhao family said. "This is just the Chu family getting rid of the involvement in what may happen in the future. Now the situation in Dangyang is dominated by the Chu family, and the four of us can only keep our own family by holding together. The first few Dangyang chiefs came from a poor family, and were co-opted by the Chu family, and obeyed the Chu family, becoming the decoration of the Chu family, and the Chu family is the real dangyang chief. Therefore, Xiao Yucai wants to pick a child of a big clan to take the position of Dangyang Chief, hoping to turn the situation around. It's a pity that Xiao Taishou was also involved in the struggle of the imperial court and left Nanjun. ”
