Chapter 41: The Clan Meeting (1)
At the stall, the two were eating the dog meat pot given by the boss, and Li Yanqing said while eating: "Ruiyangren, what did you say you did as a messenger." I asked you to find Liu Yeqing, you are good, I found a beggar woman to send it, if she is not the county lady, she is really a beggar woman, how do you let the official settle it? β
Ryanstein spread his hands, "I want to explain first that I am a great Ming man, not a lowly foreigner." Besides, you can't blame me for this, the Liu Yeqing you said is from the rivers and lakes, so I will naturally look for it according to the people of the rivers and lakes. Aren't most of those Jianghu people just like this? And those people in the beggar gang, which one does not regard himself as a Jianghu person. β
Speaking of this, a strange smile appeared on his face, "You didn't suffer a loss, did you." Such a beautiful surviving person, you ...... together. Let me observe a moment of silence for poor Cai Zhixian, you despicable person. β
The two laughed a few more words, and Ryan Stein said: "I heard that the patriarchs of the eleven capitals of Xiangshan have all arrived in the county seat?" I was going to see you the day before yesterday, but I was stopped by the beautiful lady. What the hell are you going to do? Didn't you say that you have to rip bamboo from them, and you can't even see people, how can you knock them? β
"You, a foreigner, are not from our Ming Dynasty, and you don't understand these tricks at all, so you have this stupid question. Now the initiative is in our hands, it is they who are anxious, not us. The longer they are pressed, the more scared they become, and the more we will be able to get when the time comes. You can rest assured, with me, when will you suffer? β
Although the matter of the White Lotus Sect this time has been suppressed in the submission, including the matter of Zhelin, there is no mention of it, but this does not mean that Wu Guifang has really relaxed his vigilance. Guangdong is his one-third of an acre, if something really goes wrong, everyone else can shirk the responsibility, only he really wants to take the blame.
On the one hand, he turned bad things into good things, and counted this White Lotus Sect turmoil as a battle feat under his leadership; On the other hand, they also began to grasp the White Lotus Sect in Guangdong. Led by the yamen of the governor of Guangdong, the yamen of the Guangzhou prefect, the yamen of the Guangdong General Army, and the Qianhu Office of the Jinyi Wei of Guangdong, several organizations have made concerted efforts to launch a vigorous campaign to arrest religious bandits in Guangdong.
The martial arts sects in Guangdong, the entrance of the gang hall, all suffered now. If there is a powerful backer, and then enough silver taels, you can also consider being exempted, and most of the gang sects will be directly kicked out by the officers and soldiers.
No matter whether you are the head of the house, or the leader of the gang, whether you are a master of the heavenly list, or whether you rank a few weapons in the spectrum, it is all the same in front of the officers and soldiers. Dozens of gangs disappeared like this, becoming another catastrophe in the martial arts.
The Xiangshan Autonomous Preparatory Committee, who danced too happily some time ago, drove the team directly to the outside of the yamen of the Guangzhou prefect. Lin Shouzheng from his own heart, he wanted to eradicate this organization and take a bad breath for himself. But being an official is not a gangster, and this kind of thing is the slogan of gangsters.
Officials should not take this as a code of conduct. Who is behind this organization, and who will be involved, Lin Shouzheng himself has no score, so he doesn't dare to make a big fuss.
However, if things do not make a big fuss, it does not mean that public opinion cannot be made bigger. Under the guidance of Li Yanqing, rumors have spread in Xiangshan County, and the imperial court has counted the Xiangshan Autonomous Preparatory Committee as a party of bandits, and is ready to be arrested. Especially An's has also practiced boxing, who can guarantee that she is not from the White Lotus Sect? It is said that Yu Dayou has transferred a garrison over and is ready to enter the army.
The clan leaders of these eleven capitals may not be afraid of magistrates, but no one is not afraid of officers and soldiers. No matter how strong their clan's force is, can it compare to the imperial army? Once the official health arrives, none of these clans will have a good end. Just raising money and food is enough to make everyone vomit blood and go bankrupt.
At this time, he can only rely on Li Yanqing, a local official, hoping that he can speak for Xiangshan and block those officers and soldiers in the provincial capital, and don't let them go to the countryside to suppress bandits. Originally, Li Yanqing invited the clan leaders of the eleven capitals to discuss the matter, but this time the big disaster was at the head, but the patriarchs of the eleven capitals were all together, and they were waiting to talk to Li Yanqing face to face.
"They are here to intercede for themselves, and at this time, they have a request for us, and we have to stand up. Squat at them for a few more days, and let them know that they know that they know that they are powerful. The official still owes so much shortfall, if he doesn't hang them enough, when will those shortfalls be repaid? β
In fact, in the past few days, Qin Ruizhu has received a lot of gifts, and there are many bearded elders, but Qin Ruizhu's little brother is long, the little brother is short, and some have to beg for her wife. made Qin Ruizhu cry and laugh, and at the same time, he also had a closer understanding of this Ming officialdom.
These patriarchs, on weekdays, in the clan, are all well-known and respected leaders. All the families built water prisons to entertain fellow villagers. and dragged the young and beautiful girl and daughter-in-law of the clan to the house, taught hospitality etiquette and bed warming skills, how many times have you been so low-browed?
However, the form is stronger than people, if it really gets Min Yong to go to the countryside, everyone will not have good fruit to eat at that time. The poor sticks under Yu Dayou are said to be recruited from the poor ravines, and they are so big that the shallowest friendship is silver.
If they go to Xiangshan, can they still have a cheap deal?
I had to lower my body and try to please a man who looked like a rabbit. Naturally, the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of the Xiangshan Autonomous Preparatory Committee greeted all over the place, and the value of Queen An had plummeted, and no one cared.
After three days of suffocation, seeing that the gift was almost received, he said to Qin Ruizhu: "I will meet with the clan leaders of the eleven capitals tomorrow, can you go with me?" β
At this time, Qin Ruizhu was wearing an official uniform, holding a brush and transcribing the account book. In her opinion, the entire white book of Xiangshan County is a bad debt, and it must be revised, otherwise it will have no value to see. This workload is unknown regardless of it, but she enjoys it, and even Li Yanqing can't stop it.
When she heard this, she was shocked. "How's that going to work? Those clan elders, each of whom is the elder, is a village sage, and I am a woman...... Even if you are not a woman, you are your protΓ©gΓ©, how can you be qualified to sit with them? β
"Xiao Qin, what you said is not right. Look, you're working here, and even your own officials have to serve you, so what are they? Do you know who you are now? It's my henchman. The henchmen of this official don't know where to go higher than those turtle patriarchs, what can't I see, I'll take you tomorrow. β
