Text Chapter 615: The dark tide is surging
"Zhou Wen, this official and you don't share the sky!"
When Zhou Wen disappeared into the crowd, Guo County, who was trembling with anger, finally shouted out a breath of anger, and the officials around him also lowered their heads and did not dare to touch this moldy head.
Then, Guo Xianshou looked around, looked at everyone's demeanor in his eyes, his face was extremely gloomy, and he shook his sleeve robe suddenly, without saying a word, squeezed through the crowd and returned to the county office.
"Sect Master Jiang, this matter is making a big fuss..."
Miao He, who was standing on Jiang An's side, had an ugly face, and whispered to Jiang An, extremely bitter.
This is the power of the martial temple's recall, as long as it comes out, it has the effect of making everyone lose their souls.
In the imperial court law, in addition to the normal promotion or dismissal of officials at all levels, there are two kinds of abnormal dismissals, namely "Wumiao recall" and "resentment recall", these two kinds of recall, which are a system that curbs the power of local officials, are all in the six countries.
Wu Temple, is a sacred place, the common people are not allowed to enter, even if to the major sacrificial activities, but only allowed to kneel outside the door of the Wu Temple, want to enter, there are only three kinds of people, the first one, is the official seal of officials at all levels, the second kind, is through the national martial arts examination, obtained the official qualifications of the person, referred to as the official, similar to the ancient Chinese people, the third kind, is the martial arts of the martial arts, can be allowed to go in at a specific time to pay homage to Emperor Wu.
And the so-called martial temple recall, that is, the first two adults who are qualified to enter the martial temple in a certain place, vote together to see whether to remove a certain official, and the power to remove the martial temple, as long as the person who has the official seal, theoretically has, but only once in a lifetime, that is to say, only the kind of officials who do not share the sky will be allowed to open the martial temple recall, so that the opponent will go directly to office.
But this kind of dismissal is relatively fair, if the adults vote tomorrow, Guo County Shou is removed from office, he will be finished, not only the benefits for retired officials will be gone, but the Guo family will also be disgraced, but if Guo County Shou is not removed, then Zhou Wen, who was dismissed from the Wu Temple, will go to his post and return to his white body.
Guo Xianshou didn't expect that Zhou Wen would be so resolute, he just used his identity to hinder him, and even directly proposed the removal of the martial arts temple, completely tearing his face, leaving no way back, which naturally made Guo Xianshou very resentful.
And one of the subtleties is that the removal of Wumiao is tomorrow, that is, there is still a day today, especially at night, when Guo Xianshou and the Zhou family wrestle, whoever can win the support of most of the people will be invincible and can get the opponent down.
The crowd gradually dissipated, but the public opinion of the whole city has just risen, and there is talk of today's things everywhere, first one of the three thieves, the Huang Feng thief, was headed, and then the two sides confronted each other, and finally even a few rare martial arts temple recalls appeared, especially tomorrow's results are the focus, everyone has their own opinions, some say that Guo County Shou will win, some say that the Zhou family will win, and even those who do good things have made bets, causing countless people to follow suit.
Unlike the ordinary people who watch the excitement, tomorrow's results can directly affect the vital interests of officials and officials, so they are also watching and connecting with each other, thinking about who to support tomorrow.
And Jiang An and the others were brought into the official residence by the officials sent by Guo County Shou.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this official has suffered an unwarranted disaster because of you, what should I do, I don't need to say it clearly."
Guo Xianshou sat at the top, completely lacking the enthusiasm just now, but said expressionlessly.
Miao He and the three of them naturally knew what he meant, and immediately hugged their fists and replied: "Tomorrow the Wumiao pitcher, the three of us will naturally support the county guard, and moreover, they will also win over their good colleagues, and the Zhou family will be defeated."
Seeing them on the road, Guo Xianshou's resentment finally disappeared a little, waved his hand, and said: "In this case, the three of you can live in the side room tonight, the official still has some matter, so I won't send it."
Jiang An and others understood that Guo Xianshou was in a hurry to win people's hearts at this time, and he was not polite at the moment, so he resigned and left.
Soon, in a side room, Jiang An and Miao He sat opposite each other, and Wan Tao knelt aside to serve tea.
Miao He and the other three township guards knew very well in their hearts that they were already Jiang An's people, if Zhou Wen's dismissal was successful, and there was no Guo County Guard, then the Zhou family would really be very direct and unreasonable, and use the official seal to mobilize the power of the Wumiao and kill them to the town.
"Tomorrow's martial arts temple will be dismissed, those who are eligible to enter it, there are three officials, Guo County Shou, Zhou Wen and Zhao County Arrest, eight township guards, no, now only seven township guards can also enter, in addition, it is the main army and deputy army master of Fenglin County Army, two people of the main and deputy hundred households of the Hundred Households, two of the chief and deputy vice presidents of the County Martial Arts Institute, and finally the county officials, a total of thirty-seven people"
"If Guo County Shou is still a serious county respect, with great authority, his winning rate is still relatively large, but now everyone knows that he is about to leave and retire, and his influence is not as good as before, and the Zhou family is a local wealthy family, which is widely implicated, if I don't wait to do anything, I'm afraid tomorrow will be the day Guo County Shou will go to office!"
Officialdom is like this, a small county town, can be divided into five systems, namely the ruling officials, the nobles who control the army, the proclamation department that supervises the local area on behalf of the royal family, and the military academy as the reserve office of officials, and finally there are the opposition factions with official status, and the five major systems are not clear at all, but they are connected to each other, you have me, I have you, check and balance each other, and what the result will be tomorrow depends on their respective means.
I had been listening to Miao He and the three of them for a long time, and after Jiang An groaned, he said lightly: "Tomorrow, we will win..."
At the same time.
Zhou family.
In the secret room, Zhou Wen, the boss of the Zhou family, and a man who looked younger but looked very similar to Zhou Wen sat at the bottom, and at the top sat a white-haired old man, who was the old lady of the Zhou family, Zhou Yu.
“... , That's the way it is, before the child proposed the removal of the martial arts temple, he already had some calculations in his heart, our chances of winning are greater, and we can also gain the upper hand, so that people think that my Zhou family dares to take the initiative to put it forward, there must be something to rely on, as long as it is successful, this Zhou family, Fenglin County should be my Zhou family's master!"
Zhou Wen said respectfully to his father Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu's eyes were half-open and half-closed, as if he was dozing off with the lack of energy of an old man, but as soon as Zhou Wen finished speaking, his eyes were shining, and he said slowly: "Anyway, although you were surprised this time, you are indeed a little reckless, even if we win, you will fall into a bad reputation of using the martial temple to remove Shangguan from office, but you can still turn around, right now, the most important thing is that since you have already been raised, then the Zhou family will win no matter what!"
"If my father has any ideas, please advise!"
Zhou Wen said respectfully.
"There is no absolute in the world, although because Guo Feng is about to leave office, his ability to control Fenglin County has declined, but after all, he is still the respect of a county, as long as he is out of the way and uses the last authority to spread the benefits, it is inevitable that some people will have floating thoughts, but you don't have to be afraid, after you mention the removal of the martial temple, the old man has a plan in his heart, wait a while, a guest will come to visit, and he is the key to tomorrow's victory!"
The white-haired old man said leisurely, looking confident.
Zhou Wen nodded, he knew his father's strength very well, and said: "As soon as my father says this, it must be fine, by the way, second brother, after the victory of the dismissal tomorrow, you will need to take action, I heard that Jiang An's strength is extremely high, you must have seen the third brother's injuries."
As soon as these words came out, the second master of the Zhou family opposite Zhou Wen, Zhou He, suddenly opened his eyes and said word by word: "I understand, tomorrow, I will meet him, I hope he will not let me down."
Zhou Henai is a martial idiot, and the martial arts realm is the highest among the three brothers of the Zhou family, almost on par with the old man, and it is not a problem to deal with a group of people who were suppressed by the martial arts.
Then, the father and son of the Zhou family did not speak with a tacit understanding, and sat in place and waited, and after a while, a rhythmic knock on the door sounded, and the old housekeeper said outside: "Master, there is a distinguished guest coming"
"Welcoming guests in"
Zhou Yu sat still and answered.
So, a figure dressed in a big coat was let in, and when this person put down his hood and revealed his true face, even with Zhou Wenzhi's calmness and Zhou Hezhi's indifference, his face changed and he exclaimed.
"It's you!"
......
The moon sets and the sun rises, and a new day begins.
But the whole county knows that today is extraordinary, when the sky is just dawning, there are people gathered near the Wu Temple, occupied a good position, and then waited quietly.
By the time the sky was completely bright, the surrounding area of the Wumiao was already crowded with people, no matter how turbulent the dark tide was yesterday, it had to be seen today's results.
After a while, the adults who were qualified to enter the martial temple began to come from all directions, even the nobles and village guards who lived outside the city and the garrison had already arrived overnight last night.
"Oh, Brother Li hasn't seen you for a long time"
"Yes, Brother Sun, you always say that you come to my house as a guest, and you haven't seen me all the time, it's rare to see it."
"Haha, isn't this all for cultivation, by the way, I don't know where Brother Li stayed last night, why didn't I see it?"
"Why haven't I seen Brother Sun?"
...
Similar conversations rang out from time to time, and many people were inquiring about who others met with last night and what their choices were, but everyone turned out to be old oilers, and a few words haha were vague.
Finally, when it was close to noon, the gate of the Wumiao opened, and the people who were qualified to enter began to rush in, and finally, the thirty-seven people were full, the gate was closed, and everyone was waiting for the final result to come out.
At this moment, Jiang An, who was in the center of the whirlpool, had a good time, living in the official residence, playing with Wan Moss with an indifferent face, except for the small mud playing on the side from time to time, the room was very quiet.
