When he said this, there was a cough outside, and everyone looked up, and it was Zhang Jiayin, the main hall of the county, who walked into the courtyard. There was an attack on the Jinyi official, and his seat in the main hall was not stable, not to mention that it was his staunchest ally, the sworn brother, who was attacked. As soon as the morning dawned, he ran over to offer condolences.

"It's not like words, it's just too bad words. Even the Jinyi official dares to kill, is it time to kill me! Zhang Jiayin also hated this kind of behavior, and after entering the courtyard, he saw that his face was full of devastation, and his face became more and more ugly.

The court struggle of the Ming Dynasty also has its own rules to follow, everyone can attack each other, impeach each other, and even create a shadow out of nothing, which is no problem. But the trick of personal extermination is a taboo among taboos, and it cannot be used casually. Once it is used, no matter whether it succeeds or fails, it has the possibility of becoming the target of public criticism.

Everyone came out to be officials, not bandits, and if you can solve the problem by killing people, then what do you need rules for. Just like robbing the outgoing official in the green forest will be pursued by the government with all its might, everyone will send assassins to plot because of the fight, and even cause trouble to the family, which is too inferior.

Zhang Jiayin is a righteous official from the imperial examination, and he feels resistant to this kind of behavior from the heart. After he came in, he first gave a salute to the Liu family, met Mengniang according to the rules of meeting the elders, and then pulled Yang Chengzu, "Brother, let's take a step to talk." ”

"Big brother, sit down and eat together, you can't skip eating if you have anything to say."

"Don't worry, let's get down to business first." When the two of them came to the side room, Zhang Jiayin said, "Brother Xian, have you suffered any injuries?" Can there be any damage to the family members? ”

"Fortunately, brother, I didn't get hurt, a girl in the family was stabbed, but I finally saved my life, and the others were not injured, but a few mothers-in-law were killed, and the house was burned, and the neighbor's family was implicated and the house was burned."

"It's good that you don't hurt anyone here, and on your neighbor's side, the yamen will solve the problem for them. When I came in, I heard you say that you paid the debt with blood, this ...... We are officials, not to be splashed, and the methods of the rivers and lakes are occasionally okay, if it is used as a long-term method, it will lose the system of the government, and it must be investigated. ”

"What the eldest brother said is that brother, I have always supported the use of virtue to convince people, but some people think that my obedience is weak, and they dare to send killers to assassinate me. Burning my house, killing my people, and humiliating my subordinates, this account must be settled. Big brother, don't worry, I have measure, this time I will use a batch of good hands, and the blood will not flow too much, at least it will not make it too difficult for you to do. ”

Zhang Jiayin shook his head helplessly and said, "But the problem is, it's difficult for me to do it now." What are you and I here for today? Of course, it was to see if you were hurt, but someone invited me out to do this and do this peace. They were well-informed, and they knew that things were not going well in the middle of the night last night, and then they brought the relationship to my door and asked me to come out and be a mediator. ”

Yang Chengzu's face sank, "These people are good means, and they actually invited all the brothers out." You're a dignified scholar and a county parent, and I don't know what price they have to offer to ask you to come out and support them. ”

When Zhang Jiayin heard this, his face sank, "Brother Xian, in your heart, is the foolish brother this kind of person?" If I am greedy for money, how can I be on your side in this food war? It's just that...... How to say it, although our Huaxian County is not as chaotic as a few neighboring counties, it cannot be called peaceful. ”

"At this time, what we need is stability, not bloodshed and death. You have resentment in your heart, brother, I know, if you kill people in order to get angry, the heads of people will be rolling and bleeding, and in the end it will only make people panic. And if we finally settle people's hearts, and then mess up people's hearts, it will inevitably backfire. ”

"Then brother, what do you mean, let me rest quiet? What if it never happened? ”

"I mean, you'd better talk to them first and then make a decision. The so-called salute before the soldiers, you listen to what they have to say first, and then you can't do it. ”

Zhang Jiayin's attitude, strictly speaking, is not wrong, he is a county parent, not a big brother in the rivers and lakes, the first thing to protect is peace, not to protect Yang Chengzu's anger. The two most important words above the official factory are compromise, if you can't compromise, you can only say that you don't even have the qualifications to get started.

Although this kind of stabbing method is too low-level, it did not hurt the Yang family's muscles and bones after all, Yang Chengzu himself is fine, and the relatives of the family have not suffered losses. As for the dead mothers-in-law, those female bodyguards were meant to sell their lives, and when they died, they died, so there was nothing to say.

There is a lot of room for change in this matter, and at the same time, because the other party is a few gentry in the county, if Zhang Jiayin allows Yang Chengzu to slaughter them, then there is a big mess in this county, and he, the county official, will not be able to do it.

"Since you have come forward, eldest brother, I will give you this face, you find a place, and I will meet them. See what they have to say. ”

Zhang Jiayin was overjoyed, "I know that you know that you understand righteousness and will not go your own way." You must also understand the troubles of the foolish brother. But don't worry, we can't just forget this, stabbing and setting fire, this is the inferior of the inferior, even if you let them go this time, as long as the water recedes in the future, I will slowly concoct them, so that they know what it means to break the family county order to destroy the door too much. ”

"It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, as long as you believe in the foolish brothers, I will let you see how unlucky they are. I'll go and talk to them about meeting them now, so I won't bother. ”

When Zhang Jiayin left, Ruxian said: "You old brother Meng, eighty percent of you are here to come to the item, right?" When the fire was on fire last night, no one from his yamen came. Did you promise him? ”

Liu is a kind person, and he is afraid of officials, so he is busy playing a round on the side, "Ruxian, if you say this, my mother will talk about you." Since ancient times, the people have not fought with the officials, and the county master is not bad, he came forward to intercede, presumably because of his considerations, and we can't refute his face. ”

Zhao Laoqi asked Yang Chengzu: "Young Master Yang, what do you think?" You've decided to leave it at that? ”

"My mother, I think this is the case, I have to go to this banquet, if I don't go, how do I know who will stand up and intercede for them publicly? There is a wrong, there is a debtor, this time the creditors took the initiative to jump out, this kind of good opportunity can't be found with a lantern, do you think I can't go? After I go, I'll know who to do it to in the future. ”
