Chapter 368: The Ass Determines the Head (11)
Soon, rumors about Chen Fei spread in the market. What to say that when Chen Fei was in Shuo County, he was corrupt and oppressed the people, and then he was lustful. Of course, everyone was relatively simple to spread Chen Fei's rumors at the beginning, but then everyone immediately listened to it and became more and more uncomfortable, as if this was a little weird!
"Have you heard? Now the treasury of the imperial court is a person who oppresses the people and exploits the people! When he was an official in Shuo County, he bullied hundreds of people and ruined hundreds of people's families. And he taxed the people heavily, and then fattened himself. and also likes to kill innocents indiscriminately, as a result, tens of thousands of people in the entire Shuo County were killed by him, and only one or two thousand people remained. And in order to satisfy his killing thoughts, he actually sent troops over to surround Shuo County, and then cut off the flesh of those Shuo County people one by one, and finally put it in his stomach to taste! Someone said.
And some people immediately began to be surprised, and then asked in disbelief: "Impossible!" How can a county order transfer troops? I am serving in the yamen, and these local civil officials have no right to transfer troops, so how can he send troops to besiege the county seat? ”
"yes, yes! What else has been killed so that only one or two thousand people remain, so that no one has run out to complain? And his boss won't report it? This one can't be either! Another said.
And then immediately some people said that it was impossible, where is the power of a county commander so great, it can mobilize troops and blockade the entire county seat, and as a result, the entire county is slaughtered to less than one or two thousand people. If there really was such a demon in this world, it would have been exposed a long time ago, and then it would have been killed. Moreover, Shuo County has a population of tens of thousands, and if there was really a demon official who dared to do this, I am afraid that a rebellion would have begun long ago. And those soldiers were all soldiers of the imperial court, how could they casually help a county commander to do evil?
What's more, according to the government military system of the Tang Dynasty, those soldiers were all government soldiers composed of nearby people. Could it be that those government soldiers can help an outsider to slaughter their own villagers, this is nonsense at all. So this rumor is full of errors and omissions, and even uneducated people know that there is something wrong with it.
The person who "spread the rumors" saw that everyone didn't believe it, and then continued: "I tell you, what I said is true, and Shuo County has not much population now!" ”
"Fart! I am from Shuo County, if it weren't for the Chen County Order, we would still be poor! If it weren't for Chen County's order, where would I be able to afford six or seven children now, if you dare to say a bad word about Chen County's order. Believe it or not, I beat you up? Someone shouted angrily.
Now the living conditions of the people of the Shanxi generation are much better, they are very grateful to Chen Fei, and many people have even been able to come to the capital of Chang'an to see the world. But when they heard that someone was slandering Chen Fei here, a good official, how could they stand it! So help Chen Fei back immediately!
"Oh oh, maybe that's my mistake. But the next one is absolutely true! When Chen Fei joined the army as a recorder in Bozhou, he slept with all the women in Bozhou's family. All the people of Bozhou are resentful of him, and they can't wait to eat meat and bed. And he often catches women red-handed on the street, in front of the public. It's so outrageous! The "rumor-monger" continued.
But the people of Shuo County immediately said angrily: "What did you say? Chen County Ling would never do this. ”
The "rumor-monger" immediately continued to refute: "People are all subject to change, and if he is like this in Shuo County, it may not be the case in Bozhou." That's what he did in Bozhou! ”
But then, a man who appeared to be a scholar from a humble family immediately asked, "If we remember correctly." Bozhou is next to Beizhou, and Beizhou is the former Qinghe County? Can the Cui family of Qinghe County tolerate such a Sven scum serving in the state and county next to them? Don't the Cui family dare to care? ”
"The Cui family doesn't dare to take care of it!" The "rumor-monger" continued.
"Nonsense, what kind of person is the Cui family. He doesn't dare to care? Could it be that this Chen Fei is the crown prince! Someone immediately said with great disdain.
After all, the Qinghe Cui family is the top family in the scholar clan, even if it is a royal family, it is not in the eyes, can it dare to care about an ordinary record to join the army? Hence this. When I hear it, it's all fake, and it's definitely a rumor.
"I don't care, anyway, Chen Fei is a despicable and shameless person! No, it has to be! The "rumor-monger" said in a dead voice.
And immediately someone speculated: "You bastard, you dare to spread rumors, you kind of rumors, no three-year-old child will be fooled." Chen County's order is as kind to the people of Shuo County, if there is no Chen County order, where can the people of Shuo County be so rich? Now that someone is spreading rumors about Chen County's order like this, it means that Chen Langzhong must be a good official, otherwise those treacherous people would not spread rumors like this! You are the same dog who took the money from the stolen officials to slander the Chen County Order, and beat us hard! ”
Immediately, a large group of people began to come and beat up this "rumor-monger", after all, he is playing everyone for fools! It is really unbearable that such a clumsy rumor is used to insult the IQ of the broad masses of the people.
The rumormonger soon ran away, apparently not a place to stay for long. And then, similar things happened in Chang'an. Many "rumor-mongers" who carried out clumsy methods actually used some lies that could be broken at the first poke to fool everyone, and even people who had not read the book obviously heard that it was a rumor.
And then, Chen Fei not only did not lose his reputation by those rumors, but because of these clumsy rumors, the people recognized Chen Fei. If Chen Fei is not a good official, then why would those corrupt officials slander Chen Fei by spreading rumors? Those who said bad things about Chen Fei were all sent by the corrupt officials, and they were afraid of Chen Fei, so they wanted to spread rumors. But those guys can't spread rumors, and they actually say a lot of words full of loopholes, even a three-year-old child doesn't believe it.
And those who were originally ordered by the family to speak ill of Chen Fei were also very speechless when they found out about this situation. Every time they spoke ill of Chen Fei, not only did they not have the effect they should have, but they were said to be people who received money from stolen officials to spread rumors and make trouble. Although they were originally rumor-mongering, they were pointed out like this, but they were disgraced. (To be continued......)
