Chapter 251: Burning the Bow and Smoking the Bird
At this time, Li Wenzao's eyebrows were already flying, his beard was fluttering, and he said with spittle: "The old man originally thought that Lin Xianzun was born in Hanlin, and you should always be a smart person after being in Beijing for so long." Even if he was a little stupid before, he came to Shanyin County to suffer from such a cunning official, and he should understand. Unexpectedly, you really disappointed the old man! ”
Lin Yangqian saw that Li Wenzao was pressing step by step, but he was no longer as obedient as before, and said coldly: "The lower officials are shallow in their learning, and they will inevitably laugh and be generous. But I don't know that it was done inappropriately, violating the grace of the heavenly family, breaking the law of the Ming Dynasty, and harming the people in the county? The boss can point them out one by one. ”
Li Wenzao said: "Hehe, you can say it." Since the old man told you that day, Xu Hai led the crowd to sneak in and plot against him, what are you polite about such a murderous widow? You should attack the arrows with fire, kill Xu Hai and the others, and kill them all. Whoever asked you to catch something alive has caused countless troubles. When you go to prison, what effort does it take to kill someone? But for the sake of clearing your reputation and prestige, you want to punish him canonically, and you are proclaiming to the county, and you are writing to ask for orders. is strictly guarded against the prison, but he is afraid that people will murder Xu Hai, and he will eat and drink to heal his wounds. As a result, raising tigers was harmful, and Yan Hong was rescued instead. Lin Xianzun, you are so calculating. ”
When Lin Yangqian heard this, he was speechless, bowed his head and said: "This matter is that the officials have no plan, they just want to openly kill the Japanese coles, so as to set an example, so that the traitors in the world dare not disobey." But he never thought that Yan Hong was so cunning. This time, it can't be counted. There is Boss Li who administers justice, and sooner or later he will be told to reap the consequences! ”
Li Wenzao sneered when he heard it: "You have a good calculation!" Putting Xu Hai's affairs aside for the time being, do you still think that with your so-called twists and turns, you can let Yan Hong go to work in the same year? What are you? That Yan Hong not only has the support of Yan Song and Lu Bing behind him, but he also seems to be absurd, but in fact he is quite scheming. Even the imperial history of the right capital of the Imperial Court can't help him, let alone you? Lin Yangqian, to this day, you are still like in a dream, thinking that you are holding the pearl of wisdom, but you are actually a useless mediocre talent! ”
Lin Yangqian saw that Li Wenzao had already torn his face and scolded, and was about to find an opportunity to return the favor, but saw Li Wenzao show a sinister smile and said: "Lin Xianzun, just with your performance, your few years old, to be honest, it is useless." The old man asked you to go to Yan Hong's Inn today to find trouble, and all he pondered was just saying. In order to protect the Japanese robbers, Yan Hong beat the main hall of Shanyin, but this matter was well done. It's just that to make this article, although your piece of music is also somewhat useful, it still lacks some weight. What needs to be added to this is a human life! ”
Lin Yangqian is not a stupid person after all, seeing Li Wenzao's fierce appearance at this time, what else do you not understand? He was shocked: "Li Wenzao! I am a dignified official of the court, do you dare to ......?"
Li Wenzao picked up the tea bowl on the side, gently slapped the tea leaves in the bowl with the lid and said, "Imperial court officials? Isn't the king an official of the court? Go and fight him at the bottom. You shout, do you really think that there are your own people in this inner office? ”
Lin Yangqian's eyes widened angrily, and he shouted: "Old thief, I will fight to the death with you!" "Flick your sleeves and you're going to rush to play for your life. But as soon as his body moved, the short man had already moved forward, hit Lin Yangqian's vest with a heavy elbow, and slapped him on the back of the head with a palm. Lin Yangqian's eyes were dark, and he didn't know what to do.
Lin Zhixian hanged himself! The news spread throughout Shaoxing City the next morning, causing an uproar. This is different from Wang Yunlai, who committed suicide in fear of crime a few days ago. He is a dignified seven-grade main hall, a Hanlin Jinshi. Since Lin Yangqian took office, his official reputation has been good, and because the government exempted him from paying his regular rules, and was willing to use money to make up for his shortfall, he did not let the officials collect the bad rules and practices of the people. This is the most practical policy to benefit the people, and the people naturally remember his kindness.
Now such a clean official has hanged himself. This news is nothing short of a superbomb. Not to mention that when someone came to inspect the house, Aunt Hong, the concubine of the county order, took out a letter from the master. The above content is naturally unknown to the common people, but soon it is said that well-informed people found out the content of the book, because Lin Xianzun went to the inn to ask for the Japanese chief Xu Hai for the sake of the national law system, but was beaten by Yan Hong, the five products of Jinyiwei. After returning, he was filled with grief and indignation, and he felt that he was born in the world without face, and he was angry and hanging.
If you want to say that you will hang yourself if you are beaten, is Lin Zhixian too vulnerable? Then someone will definitely jump out and say, you know what, you can kill, you can't be humiliated! The dignified Jinshi of the Imperial Dynasty and the Hanlin Born, were beaten by a military attache in brocade clothes and a squirrel, this is a great shame, how can he still have the face to live in the world? Not to mention that there is still a matter of the Japanese chieftain here, it is said that Yan Hong has secretly released Xu Hai, and Xu Hai is now gathering the old department at sea to wash Shaoxing in blood, in order to avenge the capture that day.
There are even rumors that Xu Hai is so shameless that he dedicates his wife to Yan Hong, and even the three of them live in the same room to do that dirty deed. Yan Hong visited the Japanese invaders privately, and agreed that when the Japanese invaders washed the city, they would steal open the city gate as an internal response, and the property of Shaoxing would be divided equally between the two. A few days ago, Yan Hong wanted to go out of the east gate at night, just to do this with the Japanese coars. Although he was intercepted by Li Laofu Yin and his troops, the messenger he secretly sent sent the news to the Japanese after all.
As soon as this widow entered the city, not only did a group of people suffer, the rich were robbed, the poor were burned, the men were killed, and the women were raped, but Shen Lian's clansmen and Shen Lian's old friends back then wanted to kill them cleanly, and hated Yan Song and Yan Shifan.
At that time, although there was no mobile phone Internet, word of mouth in the city was also very fast. So all kinds of rumors spread. Ordinary people are the most easily fooled by this kind of unbounded gossip, which is also mixed with some real information. The so-called half-truths and half-truths are indeed the most difficult to identify, not to mention that ordinary people have the ability to distinguish between right and wrong. Someone else stirred up trouble and added fuel to the fire, and the news suddenly spread at a high speed. The whole city of Shaoxing is like a volcano, and I don't know when it will erupt.
It's not that the people of Shaoxing are so ignorant. For example, those old friends and old friends of Shen Lian, there is no shortage of great Confucian celebrities, who are talented in literature, and they are not stupid people. There are also some wealthy local businessmen and retired officials, who are not short-sighted. They are well respected in the local area, and if someone is willing to stand up and raise their arms, they may not be able to suppress rumors and calm public opinion. It's just that these people seem to have some tacit understanding, and they all pretend to be deaf and dumb, and they just order their families to guard the door strictly, and let the sturdy family members patrol the house with sticks to guard against thieves.
The strange atmosphere in this city was the first to affect the Yunlai Inn. Since he began to build defenses, Xu Wenchang still sent a few Jinyi official schools every day to go out to purchase goods with Hu Zongxian's family, but they all took the right path and did not go to the secluded alley. This one is to listen to the news by the way, and at the same time confuse the other party. Today, these people are finding that they can no longer buy rice, grain, and firewood from the merchants in the city. They were greeted by the cold eyebrows of the common people, and even glared angrily. Fortunately, Xu Wenchang had the foresight to accumulate a lot of savings in the inn, but he would not run out of food, and the 300 battalions of soldiers who followed Xu into the city, except for a few dozen in the inn, the remaining more than 200 people were scattered in the city, wearing civilian clothes, never exposed, and relying on the plate with him to pay a lot, there would be no shortage.
Xu Wenchang heard the news of Jinyiwei's report, and couldn't help sighing: "Unexpectedly, Lin Yangqian still couldn't escape this after all. I only said that Li Wenzao still loves this official body, and he will not do this trick of killing the net, at most, let Lin Yangqian hold the grievance of being beaten by the military attache and splash it in public. Unexpectedly, he was directly poisoned. It seems that the persecution on the sea side is very tight, and there is no room for Li Lao's thief to be like this. Since Li Wenzao is willing to give up the life of a seven-rank county honor, next, I am afraid that he will meet us to the death. ”
Xu Hai also knew that the situation was quite tense now, and said on the side: "Mr. Xu, since this is the case, let me go to the Shaoxing Mansion to be the first to appear in the case." Thinking that Li Wenzao only wanted my life, kill me Xu, and naturally withdraw from the siege. Then my two brothers would go to sea to meet the old shipowner and explain their truths. I think the old shipowner will also know the overall situation and will not insist on going his own way. ”
Xu Wenchang sank his face and said, "Nonsense! Li Wenzao's tightening of the pressure shows that the situation at sea is now on the verge of breaking out. Do you think that Li Wenzao is really just asking for your head at such a big cost? He is going to ruin Hu Lao Duxian's plan to recruit security! As long as you are the first to be brought to the case, Li Wenzao will ask for your life, and after taking your life, it will naturally spread the matter widely and have a relationship with Hu Lao Duxian. When Wang Zhi heard the news, he must have thought that Hu Lao Duxian's recruitment was just a plan to lure him to surrender and execute, and he would send troops at sea! Bastards like He and Zhang Ershark, what they say is useless! Besides, there are also Chen Dong and Ye Ma, they don't need to wait for Wang Zhi's order at all, they will directly raise troops to land! Xu Hai, you will be honest with me now, and you must not show up! It is necessary to carefully conceal arrows to hurt people, and it is necessary to check the diet again, although it is said that they are all their own people, but they must also prevent people from poisoning. ”
Wang Cuiqiao rarely showed up during this time, staying in the room to comfort her husband and recuperate. Xu Wenchang and Yan Hong were afraid that she would worry too much and hurt her body, so they generally didn't ask her to discuss matters. It's just that now the news is too sensational and the situation is critical, she still can't rest assured after all, and walks out of the door with the help of Luzhu and stands behind Xu Hai. Seeing that Xu Wenchang commanded Ruoding, he put some snacks. It's just that I don't know how far this turmoil is going to go, so I nervously grabbed Luzhu's hand.
As for the third son, Hu Baiqi, when he heard the news, he slipped faster than a rabbit, and ran to the two beauties' rooms to hide. Not long after, there was a burst of ecstasy sound inside, which made Yan Hong's teeth sour when he heard it, and he couldn't wait to rush in and tie up the three dog men and women, and beat them with a leather whip.
