Chapter 49: Yuxian (2)

Now, for Xu Ji, all he needs to worry about is whether Liu Xian will summon the heads of the wealthy families in Yu County to attend as he thought. The limit of what Xu Ji can use in his hands is only more than 800 people, and the number of regular garrisons set up by Liu Xian in Yu County is as many as more than 2,000 people. But this point is obviously not up to Xu Ji to decide, it all depends on whether Liu Xian can arrange it according to Xu Ji's preset.

Of course, Mao Jie naturally said that he would definitely be able to help Xu Ji, but it was difficult to say how much role he could play. Both Xu Ji and Sister Mao themselves know that after all, Mao Jie is not liked by Liu Xian, if it weren't for Mao Jie's real ability, I am afraid that Liu Xian would have been disposed of at will, and there is absolutely no possibility of keeping Mao Jie. Then the influence of Mao rank on Liu Xian will inevitably not be very great. Therefore, Xu Ji did not have too much hope for the role of Mao Dai in his own planning.

Xu Ji really relied on the three hundred soldiers under Gao Shun, the elite of these machine-like soldiers was really the only one Xu Ji had seen in his life, whether it was Zhu Jun or Huangfu Song, there were no soldiers who could compare with it, or in other words, there were a few who could compare, but if it was a fight, Xu Ji concluded that these soldiers under Gao Shun would never lose. Of course, Xu Ji doesn't think that there is still an existence in Xiaoxiaoyu County that can compete with it, this is the only thing Xu Ji can rely on at present.

Although to be honest, Xu Ji was not worried about whether he would be able to capture the leaders of various wealthy clans, because these people were rooted in Yu County after all, and they would not give up their family business easily. However, Xu Ji was very worried about the problems caused by his coercion of these clan heads, and it was naturally not a trivial matter to openly act against the clan, and it was almost certain that it would cause an uproar. Even if he has all kinds of evidence in the hands of Mao Jie's hands this time to prove that these people deserve it, what about the future? Do you have such conditions every time?

Obviously, the answer is no, Xu Ji doesn't think that the clan in every county will be so unwise to put these things on the table, so he categorically does not have such a legitimate reason to do it to them, but his own governance program will inevitably infringe on the interests of the clan, which is unavoidable, and how to solve this? Killing is just a way to deal with it but not a solution, if there is no justifiable reason, Xu Ji has no chance to kill the clan, but not to get rid of these wealthy families who refuse to cooperate will only make it difficult for Xu Ji to move an inch. Moreover, Xu Ji clearly knows that as long as the Han system does not change, the family will not be eliminated for a day. Then it means that you can't realize your ideals.

In the final analysis, the problem that Xu Ji wants to consider solving is by no means just a problem of a city in Yuxian County. Xu Ji is faced with the problem of the Shi clan, a giant who is a behemoth compared to him. Of course, the sequel knows that it may be too nihilistic to think about these issues now, and it is still a little far away. But Xu Ji also understands that this is what he must face and solve after all, and an overly corrupt system can only make a dynasty slowly lose its vitality, and the most decrepit and decayed will become a dusty term in the history books, and it is still the innocent people who suffer in the middle. Xu Ji is not a saint, even if he can't save all the people in the world, but he also doesn't want to be a muddy mediocrity, since he can see the essence clearly, why not try to solve it?

But Xu Ji can only do all this by himself, and no matter whether anyone can see through this, even if someone can see through Xu Ji, he doesn't think that anyone dares to fight, because what needs to be fought is not a certain person, but a force, and it can even be said that it is against the entire country, and this is by no means something that ordinary people can bear. Xu Ji found his helpers, Guo Jia, Bo Cai, Chen Dao, Gao Shun, and maybe more people will stand with Xu Ji to challenge this "giant" in the future. Maybe not yet, but Xu Ji believes that one day he will emerge victorious.

Of course, all of this is undecided, and what Xu Ji needs to consider at the moment is how to solve the problems he is currently facing. Liu Xian is a trouble for Xu Ji after all, Xu Ji is almost sure that this guy will never obey his words, not to mention that the core of the interests of this guy born in the family is his own family and not the people, which is contrary to Xu Ji's intentions, so since he can't coexist, Xu Ji has no choice but to get rid of him. Keeping it will be a hassle after all.

On the second day, Liu Xian sent someone to inform Xu Ji again: A sacrifice will be held tomorrow.

And Xu Ji was still a little anxious about this, Liu Xian did not say who would be present, and did not even reveal any information. But Xu Ji is still sensitively aware that the opportunity has appeared, and he can't wait any longer, now is the best opportunity, if he is still struggling with whether he can catch it all, he may miss the best opportunity. Because Liu Xian will not give Xu Ji another chance to be so good, and Xu Ji doesn't think that there will be a better chance to be better.

So Xu Ji ordered.

Soon, everyone under Xu Ji's command began to act quickly, and they quickly took place immediately according to Xu Ji's arrangement.

Mao Jie even took a huge risk to come and meet Xu Ji in person: "Lord Postmaster, you can't wait any longer, if Liu Xian finds out that something is wrong, I'm afraid that there will be no chance." ”

Of course, Xu Ji knew this: "Xiaoxian, did Liu Xian summon the heads of the Yuxian family and the Hao family to attend the meeting?" ”

Mao Jie smiled bitterly: "How could Liu Zhiyuan tell me about this kind of thing?" Mao Jie's is just a household in Yu County, Cao Pengshi, and it is okay to deal with trivial chores for him on weekdays, but if he is in charge of his own affairs, Xiaoxian really has no way of knowing. ”

Xu Ji also smiled bitterly when he heard this, and he couldn't know Liu Xian's specific arrangements, so he naturally couldn't make targeted arrangements, which was not good news for Xu Ji, not to mention that Xu Ji was now ready to send an arrow, but he still didn't know the situation that Lu Dao was about to face, which can be said to be unable to know the other and unable to plan a way out, which forced Xu Ji to take one step at a time.

"Well, now I'm afraid that I can only risk my life to find out the truth. Filial piety, you sit in the rear for me, and if the opportunity arises, you will give orders on my behalf. After Xu Ji said this to Mao Jie, he looked down again and looked at the sand table in front of him.

"How does this work? How could the Postmaster take such a risk? ”

Xu Ji raised his head and smiled: "Who can make Liu Xian feel at ease except me?" If I don't show up tomorrow, won't Liu Xian be suspicious? Filial piety first, urgent matters, should be in power. ”

Of course, what Xu Ji said is not unreasonable, but Mao Jie's own worries. First of all, Xu Ji is the post superintendent, and he is the only person who can cause trouble to Liu Xian at present, as long as Xu Ji is in Liu Xian, he will throw a rat trap and cannot act recklessly. Secondly, Xu Ji is the hope of the people of Yuxian County to escape from Liu Xian's oppressive rule. And it was very stupid to let him face Liu Xian alone when no one could guarantee Xu Ji's safety, and Mao Jie didn't think that he could support Xu Ji's group of arrogant generals, only from the attitude of the seemingly pro-guard general who came to see Xu Ji in person, he was obviously extremely disdainful of himself.

"Supervising the post, filial piety also knows that now is the time to do it, but Liu Xian is cunning and cunning, I am afraid that there will be no good banquet at the banquet, and there will be no good meeting. It is really unwise to supervise the postal service and commit suicide. ”

"So what? When has Xu Wenlie not been in danger since the long club? He is strong, he is strong, but I stand still; He is crossed by him, and I have my own calculations. What's more, Liu Xian is just a boy in the countryside to me, so what am I afraid of? When Xu Ji said this, Mao Jie heard a sense of pride in his still immature tone. This kind of pride is the momentum cultivated on the battlefield of blood and fire, Mao Jie was suddenly in awe, and Xu Ji's momentum made him unexpectedly relieved.

"Since the post superintendent has a plan, Mao Jie's won't say much, what does the post superintendent command, Mao Jie's dare to disobey?"

Xu Ji smiled when he heard this: "I also know that Liu Xian may also be planning to take Xu Ji's life, so he will seize the opportunity for me with filial piety, so don't let me go worthless." ”

Mao Jie gave up his hand and said yes.

At the same time, the county governor's mansion, Liu Xian also conspired with several people.

"Gong Liu, this superintendent has been inactive for a long time, I'm afraid it will be a disaster to keep it, why don't you ......?" At that time, the old man in Chinese clothes who reprimanded Mao Jie said to Liu Xian, and what he didn't say, everyone present naturally understood what it was.

Liu Xian frowned and said, "Murder the imperial court official, Chen Dingbian, are you crazy?" ”

Another middle-aged man dressed in military general clothes also spoke: "Since you can't kill it, house arrest is enough, why should the county lieutenant be angry?" Mr. Chen is also for the stability of Yu County, isn't it? Chen Dingbian on the side also nodded hurriedly and said yes.

Liu Xian also frowned when he heard this, he was also a little worried about Xu Ji's inaction, after all, Xu Ji didn't make a move, and this made Liu Xian a little embarrassed, after all, Xu Ji was the post supervisor, Liu Xian couldn't force anything to him, but Xu Ji's existence made him unable to let go.

And now in this situation, Xu Ji naturally will not easily show any opportunity to make Liu Xian difficult, and the result of Xu Ji's establishment of his own governance in Yu County is that Liu Xian can no longer be as insidious as before. As a result, Liu Xian could only rely on his advantage of being based in Yu County to take the lead, otherwise the more loopholes left to Xu Ji, the more serious the consequences. Even when he was young, this postmaster was a Shura who had almost buried tens of thousands of lives with a single-handed plan, and no matter how much Liu Xian despised him, he still had to be careful. Even if Liu Xian can't kill Xu Ji, he can make Xu Ji unable to affect himself, and this is enough to be a reason for Liu Xian to do it.

Obviously, Liu Xian immediately made up his mind, since Xu Ji didn't do anything, Liu Xian could only do it first. The importance of seizing the opportunity Liu Xian is also very clear, since Xu Ji is already at a disadvantage, Liu Xian has no need to waste time and have any luck, only by controlling Xu Ji can he not worry about this hidden danger.

In the early morning, Xu Ji got up early in the morning, waited in the post house after dressing, Xu Qian beside him seemed impatient and even a little nervous, so that his hands were protruding because of his fists, Xu Ji looked at Xu Qian, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Wen Rang, you let go of what you have today." Don't show any flaws now for people to notice. The ease in his words made Xu Qian immediately quiet down. After all, his lord's posture was enough for Xu Qian, who was a subordinate, to gain enough confidence.

Xu Ji himself was actually a little apprehensive, but Xu Ji understood that he was the backbone, and he must not waver, not to mention that the situation was much better than the worst he imagined, so he was not too nervous.

Although Xu Ji also knew that maybe none of the people under his command could clearly understand the seriousness of the current situation, it was likely that only Xu Ji or Mao Jie knew how tricky the situation Xu Ji was facing at this time, but at this time, he had no opportunity to explain and no way to explain the trouble he needed to face at the moment. Only by putting oneself to death and then living can one forge a path.

At this moment, Liu Xian sent someone to inform Xu Ji that the sacrifice was about to be held, and Xu Ji was invited to come over.

Xu Ji got up, raised his eyes to look at the sky, turned back to Xu Qian and said, "Let's go." The tone was solemn and calm.

After saying that, he walked away, and after he left, a person turned out in the shadow of the room behind him, and it was Mao Jie, who bowed deeply to Xu Ji's back: "Lord Inspector is dedicated to the people, and the people of Yu County have thanked him first." After that, Mao Jie's spirits were lifted and he muttered to himself: "But how can Mao Xiaoxian let the post supervisor return in vain, and he will live up to the trust of the post supervisor!" ”

At this moment, Xu Ji naturally couldn't hear Mao Jie's words, he was already walking on the road, the place of sacrifice was in the suburbs outside the city, and Liu Xian had already gone first, Xu Ji could only follow the people sent by Liu Xian.

It was extraordinarily quiet along the way, whether it was the little guy who led the way in front or Xu Ji didn't speak, Xu Qian behind Xu Ji also unexpectedly seemed extremely calm, but the brilliance in his eyes couldn't be concealed, it was a kind of ferocity when hunting: Xu Qian was very excited, this was obvious.

At this time, Xu Ji suddenly asked, "Did Lord County Lieutenant gather the heads of the major families in the city today?" ”

The little guy in front didn't look back, but replied flatly: "I don't know, but according to the practice of previous years, there are any." Why do you ask this, Lord Postmaster? ”

Xu Ji chuckled and said, "How can the matter of sacrifice be taken lightly? In addition, it is to celebrate the victory of the emperor, what is the point of not being able to enjoy with the people? ”

The little guy in front of him also replied with a smile: "What the postmaster said is, please go this way, it's almost there." Then he said no more.

Xu Ji looked forward and saw a magnificent building come into view, Xu Ji took a deep breath and said with a smile: "Wen Rang, come with me to see how the county lieutenant is going to treat me, the superintendent." ”

Xu Qian behind him replied in a deep voice: "No." His hand quietly grasped his sword.
