"My lord, you were suddenly dismissed from the post of county lieutenant, and even removed from the authority of the temporary county commander, is it because you have no money to bribe the county guard of Taishan? Rest assured, although we are not capable of resisting the orders of the Taishan County Guard, we can pay for it. Each of us pooled money and asked you to send money to Taishan County Guard. How much does it cost, you say directly. ”

In the words, there is sincerity, reluctance, and respect for Wang Yan.

Wang Yan's heart was warm, and his eyes were sour.

This group of people made him really reluctant. It's just that he is reluctant to give up, and he still wants to leave. After all, the new county order will arrive in Nancheng County today, and it is impossible for the order to be changed.

Wang Yan took a deep breath, stepped out of the carriage, stood on the wheel and raised his hand to signal the people present to be quiet. Suddenly, bursts of 'boo' sounds came out, and the people reminded the people around them to be quiet.

After a while, the street fell completely silent.

At this moment, there was no noise in the street except the sound of breathing.

The environment of this era is very different from that of later generations, and the large, medium and small cities of later generations are full of traffic, and when you stand in it, you will feel endless noise, and your ears will always buzz non-stop. But at this moment, the surroundings are silent.

A pair of eyes stared at Wang Yan.

In the eyes, there is expectation, but also respect.

Wang Yan took a deep breath again and said loudly: "Villagers come from all directions, no matter what, thank you, thank you." He bent down and bowed ninety degrees with his legs straight in thanks.

He is truly grateful to these people.

When they heard that he was leaving, the people gathered together to send him, or to thank him, or to hold grievances...... No matter what, Wang Yan is very grateful.

"My lord, you haven't given a response to what happened just now. We are willing to pay money to help you buy the official of Nancheng County. ”

The people gathered in the front row of the carriage spoke again.

Countless people looked at Wang Yan with their eyes, waiting for Wang Yan's answer.

At the same time, in the crowd less than three zhang away from the carriage, a handsome middle-aged man wearing a green coat and a scarf looked at Wang Yan, his eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a hint of scrutiny. This person is none other than the new county magistrate of Nancheng County. There was also a burly man standing beside him, the county lieutenant who came with him.

The new county magistrate knows where his official came from, but he is not a corrupt person, let alone a flatterer, he has always admired the style of the sages, and he is quite capable of governing the place.

He rode into the city with the county lieutenant, and before he reached the county office, he encountered countless people rushing to the county seat.

Under the crowd, the two had to get off their horses, and finally the horse didn't know where to squeeze, and he and the county lieutenant were pushed by the crowd and came to the place where Wang Yan was.

Wang Yan's gaze once again swept over the surrounding people, and said loudly: "Fellow villagers, about my dismissal as a county lieutenant. It's not what you think, there's nothing wrong with it. Taishan County Shou has always been fair and strict, honest and honest, and it is impossible to accept bribes. Therefore, the matter of bribing to obtain the official position of Nancheng County Commander is simply nonsense. ”

"Your heart, my lord, is too good, who is not greedy for officials in this world? Someone must have bribed the Taishan County Guard. ”

The people felt that Wang Yan was too good-hearted, and thought that Wang Yan's words were to excuse the county guard of Taishan County.

Wang Yan asked, "Am I corrupt?" ”

The people replied, "No, how can you be corrupt?" ”

Wang Yan said: "In this case, it is not true that you say that all officials are greedy. I'm not greedy, and there are a lot of officials who aren't greedy. Our Nancheng County Yang family's Yang Xu, he served as the Nanyang County Guard, he was honest and honest, and he was a model for my generation. ”

After a pause, Wang Yan said again: "Even the Taishan County Guard and the new county commander who is about to take office are not corrupt and pervert the law. I got the news that the new county makes the people love the people like a son, and they are quite capable. Therefore, folks, don't think that I was dismissed because there was no bribe. ”

As soon as these words came out, the new county commander and the county lieutenant all looked at each other, and their tense expressions finally relaxed.

The two of them had a good sense of Wang Yan.

At the same time, there was still a trace of guilt in the hearts of the two. It is true that the two did not pay bribes, but they relied on the relationship between Taishan County Guards to squeeze out Wang Yan's official position.

After Wang Yan explained, the people's resistance to the new county order disappeared, but he said: "Even if the new county order is virtuous, it should not remove you from your official position. What do you do now? ”

Wang Yan smiled and said, "I left Nancheng County today because I was going to Yangdu County to take up a post. So, folks, don't worry about where I'm going. At this moment, Wang Yan could have taken this opportunity to win the sympathy of the people without telling them about going to Yangdu County, but he was unwilling to let the people worry.

Moreover, he is not willing to let the people have resistance to the Taishan County Guard, because the new county order is the person of the Taishan County Guard, and the people abuse the Taishan County Guard, which will make the new county order have unpleasant thoughts.

Rather than this, it is better to sell it to the new county order and Taishan county guard.

The people asked again, "Will you come back after you leave Nancheng County?" We are reluctant to leave. When you open a warehouse and put grain, you can only have a little bit of grain storage at home, so that you can survive until the autumn harvest. ”

Wang Yan replied with a smile: "Of course I will come back, my father is still in Nancheng County." His old man is here, and my roots are here. Rest assured, folks, I will definitely come back, and I will definitely come back to visit the folks. ”

After a pause, Wang Yan said loudly: "Let's all disperse, don't surround anymore." You are so enthusiastic about me, blocking the streets, and the city will be chaotic. The folk customs of our Nancheng County have always been simple and simple, and they are recognized by Taishan County. Can't let the new county order come, and see the chaos, thinking that this place is all Diao people, and they are all people who like to gather people to make trouble. ”

As soon as these words came out, bursts of hearty laughter suddenly came from the crowd, and the sadness was diluted a lot by this sentence.

"My lord is going to serve in Yangdu County, and he is not wronged. Let's not get in the way, let's get out of the way, and we'll send the adults away. ”

The people opened their mouths and began to organize themselves.

On the streets, a road large enough for horse-drawn carriages was soon vacated.

On both sides of the carriage, there were still countless people, and not one of them left.

Wang Yan bowed to the people on both sides, then turned back to the carriage. He no longer looked at the people outside, because when he did, his heart was reluctant. The carriage went all the way to the east gate of the county seat. On the way from the county government to the east gate, there were people to see each other off along the way, and even people continued to say goodbye when they went out of the city gate.

At this time, Wang Yan couldn't bear to let the people continue to send it anymore. He asked Yang He to stop the carriage, and after getting out of the carriage, he looked at the people who were still following, waved his hand again and again, bowed ninety degrees again and thanked him, and then got into the carriage without looking back.

"Wheels! Wheel! ”

The wheels turned rapidly, and the carriage became faster and faster, gradually disappearing from the sight of the people.

At the gate of the city, the new county commander looked at the departing carriage and muttered to himself: "Such an official is worthy of admiration, and it has also set an example for me, I will definitely pass him." ”
