Chapter 3: Trouble
The two didn't say a few words before they were interrupted by the little medicine boy, who looked like he was eight or nine years old, with a hanging bun and two strands of hair next to his face. A serious look appeared on the white and tender little face.
He said to Wen Zhesang, "If you are finished, let the sick rest more." ”
The little medicine boy's voice is also soft and glutinous, which does not match the old-fashioned appearance on his face at all.
Wen Zhisang responded with a smile, and while letting Xie Yikou have a good rest, he thought about the situation over there.
She followed the little medicine boy and left, and Wen Yan immediately came out. Wen Zhesang said: "What did the doctor say? ”
Wen Yan told her in 1510 that the old doctor meant that Xie Yikou was already blessed to be able to pick up a life. However, the biggest threshold has passed, and as long as you cultivate well, you can be cured in two or three months.
"Your Excellency!"
A guard suddenly appeared at the door of the medical hall, Wen Zhesang reminded a few guards yesterday that she was an official of the imperial court after she took office, and she could no longer be called "Miss".
Wen Zhen Sang bowed his head, "What's the matter?" ”
The guard said: "Back to my lord, when my subordinates posted notices, I encountered someone making trouble, and my subordinates didn't dare to act rashly, so I asked my lord for instructions." ”
"You're doing the right thing, take me there." Wen Zhisang ordered Wen Yan to remain in the infirmary, and he followed the guards to leave.
On the way there, Wen Zhesang asked about the situation carefully, and it turned out that several guards were divided into several populated places to post notices according to what she said. Although the people were not very kind to them, they did not do anything out of the ordinary.
Only Wen Zhi and this guard were unlucky, and they ran into Ma San's group of people who were kicked out of the yamen yesterday.
Those people made a fuss, not to say that Wen Zhesang forged documents, and wanted to take advantage of the vacancy in the county order of Qingfeng County to occupy it. The people didn't know what rumors they had heard, and Ma San's people's rhetoric was full of loopholes, but they still believed it.
At first, Ma San and a few people made a fuss, and then three or five people also started to make trouble, and Wen Zhi and the two of them did not do anything to them after Wen Zhesang's order. Under the stalemate, Wen Zhi asked this person to come to find Wen Zhesang.
After figuring out the ins and outs, Wen Zhesang also saw the crowd gathered together. As soon as she approached, she heard Ma San's shouting from the crowd: "Our Tiansheng Dynasty has never had a precedent for a woman to be an official, you must have forged documents, maybe in order to never suffer in the future, you also killed the real county order!" But are we stupid? A woman who says that she is a county magistrate is not afraid to make people laugh off her big teeth! ”
He had a loud voice, and Zhao Er's brothers and the people around him all echoed it, and for a while it was like a vegetable market.
Wen stood tall with his saber in hand, no matter what sarcasm and ridicule those people had. Ma San's group of people also seemed to be afraid of the knife in his hand, so although they were scolding, they didn't really do it.
Seeing that Wen Zhi didn't say a word, Ma San's anger was gradually replaced by shame, he took a few brothers and gathered a group of gangsters, he didn't expect it to be so big, this person actually looked calm.
It's like hitting cotton with a fist, and instead of hurting anyone, it fills your heart with resentment.
Ma San secretly took a sip, his eyes flashed, and he saw Wen Zhesang outside the crowd.
"Over there! Isn't it claiming to be the new prefectural order? Why, seeing so many people here, afraid that their true colors will be exposed? He shouted.
The crowd was really alarmed, and they turned their faces to look at Wen Zhisang one by one, with different expressions on their faces, some curious, some disdainful, and some angry.
Ma San still wanted to make a big fuss, but this time Wen Zhi moved, he waved his long arm to push aside a few onlookers, walked in front of Wen Zhesang and said, "My lord, my subordinates have disappointed my lord." ”
Sweeping his gaze over the faces of the onlookers, Wen Zhesang showed a helpless expression, and had to say, "It's okay, I didn't expect that I would become an impostor." ”
"You're an impostor!" Ma San took the opportunity to shout.
Unconsciously, the center of the crowd changed, and they unconsciously surrounded Wen Zhesang in the middle, just as Fang had surrounded Wen Zhi. Wen Zhesang was not afraid, she looked at Ma San, and said loudly: "I have official documents in my hand, and I will make a holy decree today." If you say that I have taken away the unwarranted document of the 'True County Decree', then I have to ask, where did I get the Holy Decree today? ”
Ma San was speechless, his eyes flickered from side to side, and he said nonsense: "Who, who knows whether the holy decree is true or false?" We are all ordinary people, but we can't distinguish between the truth and the falsehood of the holy decree, if you take a fake one, who will find out? ”
"Falsifying the Holy Decree is a capital crime, so why should I kill myself. If you don't know it, you say it's false, so you're not afraid that you'll be disrespectful and commit a great sin? "Wen Zhesang is not a soft-hearted person, she knows that she has just arrived, and the people here are extremely hostile to her and the eunuchs.
It's not that she doesn't want to live in harmony with the people, but now she is not Miss Wen in Shangjing, but an upright court official. She could even guess that if the matter that Ma San provoked was put down lightly today, it would not only confirm that her "county order" was not coming from the right way, but it might even make people look down on it and lose her majesty.
"You...... You are talking nonsense! "Ma San was born in a gangster, and he has never seen the holy decree or the holy face in his life, but he also knows that disrespecting the decree is a big sin and will kill people.
He glared at Wen Zhesang indignantly, yesterday she didn't say that she had a holy decree in her hand, and today the matter is so big, it can't end easily.
Case...... It's better to be wrong! Regardless of whether the documents and holy decrees in her hands are true or false, anyway, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the emperor can really manage here?
"Anyway, it's unprecedented for a woman to be an official, and besides, what ability do you have to be our county order, with your face, or because you can embroider and sew clothes? Hmph, I see, you better go home as soon as possible, don't be embarrassed here! ”
After Ma San finished shouting, he secretly pinched Zhao Er, and Zhao Er was excited, and he also shouted: "That's it, women should be husbands and children at home, and they should be county magistrates, I haven't heard of it!" ”
Several of their brothers and thugs also made a fuss, raising their fists in righteous indignation. As soon as Wen Zhisang raised his hand, Wen Zhi half of the blade came out of the sheath, and with a "poof", there was a moment of silence in the noisy noise.
The words that rushed out of his mouth walked around Ma San's mouth, and then he was swallowed into his stomach, and he cursed: "What are you doing? Want to kill someone? ”
Wen Zhesang waved his hand to let Wen Zhi put away the saber, then turned his head to look at Ma San, and said with a smile: "I just want to let the big guy calm down." I am the county commander of this county, and I will never point the blade at the people of Anfen. ”
As soon as her voice fell, her tone changed abruptly: "But this official will never leave people who do nonsense and spread rumors." This official knows that you are all from Qingfeng County, and you have been oppressed and exploited by the sinner Wang De, and it is understandable that everyone is resentful. This official can hereby guarantee that in the future, Qingfeng County will be like the name of this county, with a clear breeze and a bright moon, and a bumper harvest of grains. ”
Perhaps she was too firm to be inexplicably convinced, and the crowd settled down in her words.
Wen Zhesang made persistent efforts and said: "Some people don't accept me as a woman to make this county order, then everyone might as well think about Wang De, he is a decent man." But when he was in office, he gave and received from the rich privately, and colluded with the mountain bandits to shelter, which caused the people to complain and mourn all over the country. Therefore, whether you are an official or not has nothing to do with whether you are a man or a woman. Some of the men are pedantic officials, but are there no women who can be good officials? ”
"The former Shangguan Jinrong, as a woman, rose to the top among many men and became the middle of the imperial history. It can be seen that women are not unable to be officials, but it is difficult to be officials. Now I am fortunate to be favored by today, and I am ordered to come to Qingfeng County, and I will do my best to let the people live and work in peace and contentment, and have no worries about food and clothing. ”
The elder's words lingered in the crowd, and Wen Zhesang saw that a few people looked moved, but more of them just listened and didn't believe it. She understands such a situation, and thinks that Wang De may have said something like that when he first took office, but what he did made the people feel cold.
Wen Zhesang didn't plan to let go of this opportunity, she originally wanted to find an opportunity to tell her identity, but now she used Ma San and others to make trouble, attracting a lot of people, and she naturally wanted to finish the matter.
But Ma San said...... He said that they had been kicked out of the yamen yesterday, and that they had ...... Are you, are you fake? ”
A hesitant voice rang out from the crowd.
That's a good time to ask.
Wen Zhesang's gaze fell on the stunned Ma San and the others, because Wen Zhi and the others had been staring at them, so they didn't have the courage to run even if they wanted to. Now that he was noticed by Wen Zhesang, Ma San was quite calm, but Zhao Er's knees were weak, but fortunately he was supported by the brother next to him.
"Ma San?" She seemed to think about it for a moment, and said, "When I came yesterday, the gate of the yamen was closed, and these people set up gambling in the yamen, saying that they were catching fast, but their clothes were not good to wear. The clothes were not used to eat and drink to hide from leisure, they didn't know how to cherish them, so I had to help them get off their jobs. There is no shortage of people in the yamen, and today people are posting these notices in order to add a few available people to the yamen. If you are willing, you can go to the yamen to inquire about specific matters. ”
Although Ma San and a few people have been catching fast for two or three months, the people know that they are just idle gangsters. On the other hand, Ma San and these people were dismissed, and there were just a few more vacancies in the yamen?
"Is there a monthly case when the catch is fast?" Someone asked.
Wen Zhisang curled his lips: "Yes." ”
"How many?" The other asked.
Wen Zhesang: "It's only a lot more than when Wang De was there." However, please ask the yamen for details. ”
The crowd was silent for a moment, and a few anxious people rushed to the yamen at the right time. After a while, the crowd almost dispersed, and the group of thugs gathered by Ma San did not wake up, except for the old and weak women and children, that is, Ma San's people who were thrown out of the yamen yesterday.
"Big ...... Spare your life! Ma San boasted that he could bend and stretch, and knelt in front of Wen Zhesang with a "poof". Zhao Er and the others also howled and knelt down one after another.
