Chapter 119: Harmony is precious
Xia Yan walked on the front foot, and the battle between the Lin family and Baihualou was staged immediately. In order to accurately grasp the news and understand the situation of the battle between the two families, Li Wenxuan secretly sent Zhao Han and Zhu Biao, who were able to find out the news. Staying at home, he continued to pretend to be deaf and dumb, ostensibly turning a deaf ear to what was going on outside the window, and only reading the books of the sages. In fact, I did read the book, but I did not study the Four Books and the Five Classics, but focused on Taoist works and medical classics.
A well-behaved and clever little guy in the family ran to the door of the study, not daring to push the door directly. Holding a post he had just received in both hands, he stood outside the door of the study, and said in a loud and small voice: "Master, the magistrate sent a housekeeper to send you a post." Hearing this, Li Wenxuan put down the scroll in his hand and casually called him in.
The little guy who pushed the door in hurriedly delivered the post to the head of the house. After taking the post and opening it, Li Wenxuan, knowing the time and place of the invitation, closed it casually and threw it aside. When he picked up the book again, he continued to read his book with pleasure as if nothing had happened. The little servant who didn't dare to disturb him silently retreated.
One hour in the afternoon, Li Wenxuan, who couldn't ride a horse or ride a sedan chair, went to the county yamen alone. He entered the office very smoothly, and met in Liu Wenjing's office alone. Finding a suitable place to sit down, he knew that the other party was definitely not letting himself be idle nonsense. I didn't rush to speak, but listened to what Liu Wenjing wanted to talk to him about first?
The person who ordered it was Liu Wenjing, who had seen the tea, and he didn't act particularly serious. After tasting the tea once, he seemed to be breezy and said: "For the sake of local peace and harmony, my brother asked my brother to discuss." Since this matter involves Squire Lin, I hope you can come forward to talk to him. If he and Baihualou really continue to make such an endless fuss, I'm afraid it won't be a blessing for the local area. ”
Li Wenxuan, who understood the meaning of his words, pretended to have a helpless expression, shook his head and said, "I have talked to my father-in-law a long time ago, but to no avail. He didn't listen to me at all. Even if I wanted to contribute to the local and Brother Liu, I was more than willing to do it. If Brother Liu wants to use the power of the government to suppress them, I will have to stand on your side with righteousness. Whether it's public or private, I will fully support you, after all, they are really too unpleasant. ”
"If the gentry in Guixi County are as sensible as the virtuous brothers, the place is not only blessed, but there is no need for such difficulties as brothers." If Liu Wenjing, who is bent on doing a good job in his own political achievements, wants to calm this struggle that has lasted for many days, he needs to get the support of the local forces, otherwise he will not only fail to do things with many obstacles, but also damage his reputation and be detrimental to his future political performance.
He was worried, and the reason why he didn't dare to do it directly was because he was worried that the matter would not be resolved, but it would be too worthless to send his future to it. Liu Wenjing, who thought about it, originally wanted Li Wenxuan to act as a peacemaker to make peace, and then settle the matter. However, the best candidate for himself said the last thing he wanted to hear. Lin Zhengbei's non-cooperation and uncompromising concessions really gave him a headache, after all, the Lin family was the first rich and powerful in the local area.
Directly using the power of the government to suppress the local big households is very majestic and enthusiastic, but Liu Wenjing knows that things will not be so simple. If you are a county magistrate, you can't cover the sky with one hand. Not to mention that the prefect's yamen is still in the city, even if it is not there, as long as there is a big movement, it will have to make a lot of right and wrong, plus a lot of unexpected things.
This Lin family is the richest man in Guangxin Mansion, so naturally he has a certain strength to deal with and fight back against people or things that infringe on his own interests. Liu Wenjing didn't believe that as soon as the notice of his government came out, the other party would be arrested, after all, it was related to the fundamental interests, face, prestige, and so on of the Lin family.
Li Wenxuan, who didn't speak, used his brain, and knew what he knew, would not think that Liu Wenjing would make a difference as long as he had his own support, but guessed that most of the other party had already met with other local leaders and faces before meeting him. After all, how deep and muddy the local water is is naturally not something that he can figure out as a magistrate who has just been released from his foreign office.
Li Wenjing, who lacked courage, did not want to use thunderous means and said: "Everything should still be, and harmony is precious." As a last resort, the government will not use strong measures. ”
"Brother Liu, great goodness." Li Wenxuan, who boasted about him on his mouth, always wanted to use the power of the government to properly suppress the Lin family and Baihualou in his heart: "If they still act recklessly, it is not the blessing of the people in the city." If the government does nothing, it will damage your political achievements and reputation. ”
Liu Wenjing, who naturally understood this truth, still wanted to kick the ball to him, pretending to be deaf and dumb and said: "Since Squire Lin is the father-in-law of the virtuous brother, then you can persuade him again and clarify the pros and cons." I think Squire Lin is a reasonable person, and he will listen to your advice. ”
Li Wenxuan, who couldn't just refuse, could only pretend that he would gladly accept it, and it was very honorable to be valued and entrusted with a heavy responsibility by the other party: "Since Brother Liu values me so much, then go and talk to my father-in-law again." However, I don't dare to pack a ticket, I will definitely be able to convince him. ”
Liu Wenjing, who was smiling, naturally hoped that this matter could be calmed down as soon as possible and said, "Take good care of you for my brother." ”
In his heart, Li Wenxuan, who had already started scolding, knew that this matter had been discussed, so he found an excuse not to disturb and left the government office. Walking on the way home, he didn't want to persuade Lin Zhengbei at all. I don't care at all about whether the Lin family and Baihualou are cows killing horses, or horses killing cows.
The thing that makes Li Wenxuan interested is how to make his family the first in Guixi County and even Guangxin Mansion. With such a grand ambition in his heart, he knows that it is one thing to think about it, and another thing to do. Now, his bottleneck is that he does not control the local economic lifeline like the Lin family, nor does he have the pulse of the local entertainment industry and underground rules like Baihualou. It is not enough to have a group of people at the bottom who trust and follow him, after all, he has no intention of encouraging them to rise up.
