Chapter 101: Bloodstained Township School
A tall doctor said: "What good is it for the country that the people come to the township school to accuse the monarch, criticize the ministers, and discredit the Chu State and spread it?" It's better to tear down this township school and see where these ordinary people are chewing their tongues. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
At this time, the noise became louder and louder, and some people in the crowd were dissatisfied: "You can only do bad things, and the people who do it don't discredit the country, and the people who talk about it discredit them, right?" ”
"What this doctor means is that if a petty thief is caught, he will definitely be punished according to the law, and if he wants to steal, he will steal the whole country, and such a person can become a hegemon of the princes and be admired by the world." Someone sneered.
At this time, a short doctor spoke, and he said to the tall doctor: "Regardless of the rest, you are Gongyin, when you know that the river is rising sharply and is about to burst the embankment, do you take advantage of the situation and release some of the water, or block it?" ”
The tall doctor said, "Of course, it's better to let go of some water." ”
"That's right," said the short doctor, "In the process of governing the affairs of the state, officials in dealing with affairs, large and small, inevitably make some mistakes, or do things harmful to the people. The people are dissatisfied with the court and the officials, and if they speak out, we can correct them in time.
This is the place where the people speak, and if we tear it down, the people will no longer gather to criticize the government. However, they keep all their dissatisfaction in their stomachs. In this way, like a swelling river, the more it is blocked, the stronger the force that breaks through the levee, and the more serious the damage will be.
Now, let's give the place to let them speak, let them vent their dissatisfaction in their hearts, just like taking advantage of the situation and letting go of some water. ”
The tall doctor said convincingly: "What Dr. Wu said is reasonable, the younger brother is wrong, thank you Dr. Wu for your advice." ”
Zhong Wuregret heard this discussion, and hurriedly stepped forward to pay a visit: "This doctor's surname is Zhong, I am fortunate to listen to Gao Jian, I don't know the doctor's surname, and I hope to give advice." ”
"Dr. Ben doesn't change his name, he doesn't change his surname, Wu Ju is a courtier who disdains to be with adults." Wu Ju said unceremoniously.
"It is a privilege to be able to be an official in the same dynasty as Lord Wu." Zhong Wuregret ignored Wu Ju's indifference.
"This adult is ......" Zhong Wuregret wanted to be close to the tall doctor again.
"This official Zhong Shan, sitting in the position of Gong Yin." Zhongshan is also lukewarm.
Gong Yin is the official in charge of hundreds of workers, Zhong Wuregret was overjoyed when he heard it, many of his ideas, what he lacked was a skilled craftsman.
"We were one family five hundred years ago!" Zhong Wuregret said, and was about to step forward to ask Zhong Shan about the situation, when he suddenly heard the rumbling sound of military vehicles around the township school.
Immediately afterwards, the forbidden army, dressed in leather armor and armed with swords, rushed in under the leadership of General Pan.
General Pan didn't expect to meet Zhong Wuregret here, he hurriedly pulled Zhong Wuregret aside and asked, "Why are you here?" ”
Zhong Wuregret said: "I passed by here, and I heard a loud quarrel inside, and I just came in to see what was going on, and I met you." He looked at General Pan fully armed, and was a little puzzled: "What are you doing here......
General Pan lowered his voice and said: "Recently, a group of Diao people have gathered here every day, insulting the Taishi, criticizing the national government, and planning a rebellion, and the Taishi wants me to suppress their dissatisfaction quickly. The little people, which round they talk about national politics. However, the Taishi was very worried that the more and more crowds gathered, their discussions would damage the prestige of our country, damage the prestige of the Taishi, and shake our politics, so the Taishi had made up his mind to ask them to keep their mouths shut forever. ”
Zhong Wuregret was taken aback: "So many ordinary people are just talking, what does it matter?" ”
"You hurry up, don't worry about so much, I'll take care of the things here." General Pan said.
"I'm joined by two doctors, so I'll go with them." Zhong Wuregret said.
"Okay, move fast." General Pan instructed.
Zhong Wuregret came to Wu Ju and Zhong Shan, and said simply: "Hurry up and follow me, don't say anything, don't ask anything." ”
Wu Ju and Zhong Shan knew that Zhong Wuregret was a popular person around the King of Chu, and they didn't know what was going on, but after all, they were all people from the officialdom.
As soon as he got into the carriage and walked out of the road, Zhong Shan cautiously asked Zhong Wuregret, "Lord Zhong, what happened just now?" ”
At this time, what Wu Ju saw was that Zhong Wuregret had a pair of tearful eyes containing grief and indignation.
Wu Ju didn't understand why Zhong Wuregret was like this, and in his mind, Zhong Wuregret was a thief who brought disaster to the country. How did he know that Zhong Wuregret had foreseen the tragic fate of these people.
The regime will inevitably destroy human nature, brutalize dissidents, and ravage public opinion. The most expensive thing is to suppress their own people, and what they are not afraid of is also to suppress their own people.
brutally killed them, and made them bear the infamy of traitors, even if they did not have a family, their families would be discriminated against by society, and the root cause was that they only criticized the current powerful ministers and the government.
Halfway through, Zhong got out of the carriage without regrets. After coming out of the township school, Zhong Wuregret was extremely depressed, and he couldn't express it, he thought of Tang Zhong's new marriage, so he wanted to go over and have a look, so he quietly came to Tang Zhong's shop.
Tang Zhong has married the daughter of the shopkeeper of the rice shop, and the young couple opened a small restaurant next to the rice shop, because of the stone grinding sent by Zhong Wuregret, coupled with the ingenuity of Tang Zhong's daughter-in-law, the soybeans have become a lot of delicious, among which the slag made of soybeans, coupled with the ingredients, is particularly popular.
The small stone mill can grind corn, wheat, rice and many other staple grains, which not only enriches the diet of the people, but also creates a lot of deliciousness. After many people have tasted the slag here, they have gone home to build stone mills to follow suit, which has greatly improved their lives. In order to thank Mr. and Mrs. Tang Zhong, everyone often visited their shop, so business was very prosperous.
Zhong Wuregret looked at it quietly, but Tang Zhong's little daughter-in-law didn't know the relationship between Tang Zhong and Zhong Wuregret, out of gratitude, seeing Zhong Wuregret was extremely enthusiastic, Zhong Wuregret left after drinking a bowl of slag from her.
As soon as Zhong Wuregret left, a man in his thirties came to Tang Zhong's restaurant, and while eating the scum, he asked Tang Zhong's little daughter-in-law: "I see that you seem to be very familiar with the doctor who came just now, aren't you afraid of him?" ”
Tang Zhong's daughter-in-law was very strange: "Why should I be afraid of him? ”
The man said, "He is a famous great thief, and he must not have come here well." ”
"No," Tang Zhong's daughter-in-law said, "My father happened to meet Master Zhong to save my father twice when he was suffering, and I am very grateful to him, so I am kind to him, and there is ......."
"Cuihua, my father is looking for you, you can go quickly." Tang Zhong interrupted Cuihua's words and turned to the guest and said, "What else do you want to eat?" ”
The man didn't answer Tang Zhong's words, and continued to ask Cuihua, "You didn't finish what you said just now, what else?" ”
"It's nothing, women like to talk nonsense with one mouth." Tang Zhong greeted the guests while urging Cuihua to enter the inner room.
That night, Tang Zhong reported the incident to Zhong Wuregret. Zhong Wuregret told him that when doing intelligence work, he must watch and listen to all directions, and pay attention to the smallest details.
He remembered a story that Zhong Wuregret had told him. On the edge of the Yangtze River, in order to prevent flooding, a towering embankment was built, and before a big flood, an old farmer found that the number of ant nests on the embankment had increased, so he said to his son, his son wants to be afraid of such a strong embankment, is he afraid of a few ants? I didn't take it seriously, and on a stormy night, the water swelled sharply, starting with the infiltration of the ant's nest, which caused the levee to collapse. This is called: the embankment of a thousand miles, collapsed in the anthill.
Therefore, Tang Zhong was very cautious, his habit of being a hunter also made him very keen, and when someone deliberately inquired about Zhong Wuregret's affairs, he immediately reported it to Zhong Wuregret.
Zhong Wuregret analyzed all the factors and the situation, and found that a net had been slowly buckled towards him, and he was carefully closing the net.
If the other party really had the intention to calculate him, Zhong Wuregret estimated that someone had already been discovered by the guards who were secretly guarding him. Sure enough, within two days, a guard died in the alley, with no traces of a fight, and could only be considered to have died in a plot.
Under the pretext that the security of Wangcheng was too poor, Zhong Wuregret went out and simply took a few guards with him publicly. He already sensed that, for now, it was the calm before the storm.
Zhong Wuregret and ran to Pan Chong for help with a sad face. Recently, the carriages of his caravans have been repeatedly robbed, and he once asked Cheng Jia for help and sent troops to protect him, but Cheng Jia gave him a few old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers every time. Those robbers were very vicious, and each time they killed all the soldiers who escorted them, and they couldn't even find the corpses, let alone the goods they stook.
Therefore, Zhong Wuregret had no choice but to go to Pan Chong for help.
Pan Chong thought about it, and now Zhong Wuregret still has the value of use, so he allocated him a team of soldiers. Zhong Wuregret left with a thousand thanks. Only by showing weakness can the enemy be paralyzed to the greatest extent.
At the same time, Dou Yuejiao was in Chengjia's study.
Cheng Jia asked Dou Yuejiao, "What do you think of Zhong Wuregret?" ”
Dou Yuejiao sneered and said: "This lewd thief will only lie on a woman all day long, and he can't be literary, martial or martial, and he can't be used." ”
Cheng Jia said: "Not only do you see it this way, but everyone looks at this prostitute like this. But I think you've all seen it all away, this is not easy, you have to remember my words, otherwise, you won't know how you will die one day. I have no way now, I must use him, otherwise, before I abolish the throne of the King of Chu, I will definitely kill him at all costs to prevent future troubles.
What is strange to me is that he is a gentleman, he is indeed a thief, and he is all famous, but he is not afraid, the family is full of beautiful women, and it is no wonder that Pan Chong is moved. Call him a thief, but every time he gets out in unimaginable danger, I can't figure out why. Do you remember that the King of Chu was held hostage by Ziyi? ”
"Remember, what's wrong?" Dou Yuejiao wondered why Cheng Jia suddenly talked about this.
"In the capital ruled by the young master Jia Song, there is a property of Lady Peach Blossom called Danfu, it is said that no one has ever entered there, there have been a few curious people who want to go and see, among them there are people who boast of strong martial arts, but no one has been able to come out, even if it is mysterious, no one knows what is going on. However, Zhong Wuregret went in, and it is said that he only gave three pointers in the void, and the master of the Dan Mansion sent them out. Cheng Jia said.
"But I know that this thief's escape is the best in the world." Dou Yuejiao said.
"Many things, you can't solve them by martial arts alone, you have to rely on your mind, you believe in martial arts too much, although you are called 'the first warrior of Chu State', but when you sit on the position of Ling Yin, you have to rely more on your mind." Cheng Jia said.
"I must remember what the adults said, now, what are we going to do?" Dou Yuejiao asked.
"First of all, make sure that you can sit in the position of Ling Yin, before that, you must first find a way to make Pan Chong and Zhong Wuregret fight. Listen to me. Then, Cheng Jia said some countermeasures to Dou Yuejiao and asked Dou Yuejiao to act according to the plan.
When Zhong Wuregret accompanied the King of Chu to watch the song and dance in the palace, he quietly agreed with the King of Chu on the strategy of helping Dou Yuejiao to ascend to the throne, and neither he nor the King of Chu understood why Cheng Jia did this, but the position of the prime minister could not fall into the hands of Pan Chong, they could only choose to join forces with Cheng Jia.
