Dongfang Hong caught up with a servant and asked, "This official brother, the people outside are making such a fuss, why don't you go to maintain order?" ”

The people outside made such a big commotion, which can almost be described as a riot. This has seriously interfered with the normal order of Dali Temple. As a servant of Dali Temple, he has the responsibility of protecting the safety of Dali Temple. How could they allow the people to make trouble and leave it alone?

Besides, as an official of Dali Temple, don't you have two brushes? It's not that they can't deal with those people. came forward to arrest a few of the most ferocious people, kill chickens and monkeys, and ensure that they are all obedient and dare not make trouble again.

This kind of scene of people gathering to make trouble, Dongfang Hong has also seen it in the prefect's yamen. It's just small, not as serious as it is seen today. He only needs to bring dozens of officials to suppress the troublemakers. Of course, there were no casualties.

Such things should have been cut off long ago when they appeared. Dongfanghong really doesn't understand, a dignified Dali Temple, can't even control the people making trouble?

You must know that when a large number of Dali Temple officials went to the prefect's yamen to arrest Chu Tiankuo, they were coaxing. This is very different from the style of hiding in Dali Temple now, not daring to go out to stop the people from making trouble.

With all due respect, Dongfang Hong bluntly said that at this time, these Dali Temple officials gave him the feeling that they were too cowardly.

It's not Dongfanghong who bragged and asked him to come forward to solve it, he would make those people shut up obediently.

It's just that Dongfanghong is not a fast catcher in Dali Temple, and he has no right to do so. If he wants to come forward to solve the problem, he has to be granted the power by Lord Duan.

The official who was entangled by Dongfang Hong turned his head to look at Dongfang Hong, with a helpless look on his face: "Lord Duan has given an order, let us guard the compound, and we are not allowed to go out to negotiate with the people." ”

They had to follow Master Duan's orders.

Lan Aya Yu approached Dongfang Hong, and unconsciously said more: "What he said is true, Lord Duan has ordered it two days ago." ”

Dongfang Hong didn't have time to think: "No, I have to go to Master Duan." ”

He stuffed the medicine in his hand back into Lan Ayayu's hand, and went to find Master Duan. He already had a plan in his heart, if it was inconvenient for Lord Duan to come forward to stop the people, then entrust him and let him solve it.

He had his own way of dealing with the people. Sure, he wouldn't hurt the people. But, intimidation, this is inevitable.

Soon, Dongfang Hong found Master Duan in the middle hall. Not only Lord Duan, but also Lord Yun, Li Shuang, and Shen Mei are also there.

Just now, they gathered in the middle hall to discuss countermeasures and see how to outsmart the people outside. However, no suitable solution has been discussed.

As soon as everyone saw Dongfang Hong coming in, the discussion stopped abruptly. Several pairs of eyes looked at Dongfang Hong in unison, and their eyes showed a look of surprise.

Shen Mei took the lead in asking, "Lord Dongfang, how did you get here?" ”

What she asked, and what others wanted to ask. The entire Dali Temple has been surrounded by water, how can Dongfanghong squeeze through the crowd and come here?

Dongfang Hong felt that everyone was very inexplicable, what were they doing looking at him like this? Aren't you scared by the crowd outside?

Regarding Shen Mei's question, Dongfanghong replied briefly: "I came in through the courtyard wall." ”

Now, the expressions on everyone's faces are even more weird. Probably sighing that he was in a mess. It's just such a simple way to climb over the courtyard wall, and they didn't think of it. Sure enough, you can't mess with yourself.

Lord Duan is more stable than others. His thinking was still clear, and he looked at Dongfang Hong and said politely: "Dongfang catches quickly, you are safe and sound." ”

Then, Master Duan's tone changed, and he asked in a serious tone: "Dongfang Catcher, can you have a harvest in the past few days?" ”

Three days ago, Dongfanghong volunteered to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to inquire about clues, but I don't know if he got useful information?

Dongfang Hong told Master Duan about saving Niu Kelian.

Based on everyone's ideas, everyone agreed that Niu Kelian may be a new breakthrough in the case. Now, everyone is a little relieved.

After Lord Duan asked, Lord Yun asked again: "Dongfang Catcher, how is the situation outside?" ”

Dongfanghong replied truthfully: "The people outside are emotional, and they are all discussing this case. They surrounded the front gate as well as the back door. They seemed to have a lot of opinions about Chu Tiankuo and Master Duan. ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a moment of silence in the hall.

From the moment he entered the door, Dongfanghong has been passively answering everyone's questions. At this moment, he seized the opportunity to ask Lord Duan: "Lord Duan, those people outside threatened to see you, why didn't you go out to meet them, so as to send them away?" ”

Master Duan's face darkened, and he lowered his eyes and looked at the ground in a daze, but he didn't speak.

Li Shuang shouted for Lord Duan: "Lord Dongfang, you are quite light. In the past few days, Lord Duan has personally gone out to explain to those people. Those people don't stop at all. They only asked for a court hearing. ”

Oh, I see, Dongfanghong then understood. It's no wonder that Lord Duan ordered the officials not to go out and reason with the people. This case has been dragged on and on, and it is indeed difficult for the people to explain. It is reasonable for the people to demand that the court be held to try the case.

In this way, Lord Duan really had no suitable reason to send them away.

However, it is not advisable to allow those people to spread rumors and cause trouble. If you don't want to find a way to bombard them away, the operation of the entire Dali Temple will be paralyzed. Spreading it like this will make Lord Duan lose face and damage the reputation of Dali Temple.

To put it more seriously, where does this put the face of the court? In the future, what prestige will the imperial court have?

Moreover, once he connived at the people to gather in a crowd to make trouble, this precedent was set. In the future, as soon as the people are dissatisfied, they will concoct the same method and besiege the government, which is afraid that it will cause social unrest.

After thinking about it, Dongfang Hong said, "How is Lord Duan going to deal with the people outside?" It's not a matter of making them noisy. ”

Lord Duan shook his head and sighed, and slowly spoke: "Let the officials stop the words of those people, but I am afraid that it will cause greater conflicts and contradictions." Once the innocent is injured by mistake, Dali Temple will be unable to escape the blame. I have spoken well to the people, but they have not listened. It's really overwhelming. ”

"Lord Duan." Li Shuang came out of the queue and said loudly: "The government is not an enemy of the people, and it is inconvenient to make a move, so it is better for me to come forward." I am a person in the rivers and lakes, and my actions do not represent the government. Let me deal with the people. ”

Shen Meifu sang with the woman, and immediately picked up: "Yes." Lord Duan, it's better for the two of us to deal with those people. ”

Before, Li Shuang and Shen Mei also made this request, and volunteered to go out to settle those people. However, Lord Duan repeatedly refused. Now, listening to Lord Duan's words, they are helpless, and they are willing to give it a go.

Lord Duan lowered his head and said sullenly: "You two are in Dali Temple, going out like this obviously represents Dali Temple, what is the difference between sending officials out?" Besides, how can you convince so many people to be stubborn? ”

Li Shuang and Shen Mei were both sneering.

At this time, Dongfang Hong made a suggestion, and Mao recommended himself: "Lord Duan, it's better to leave this matter to me." ”

Lord Duan was very happy in his heart, but he didn't show it, and his expression was faint: "Dongfang Catcher, what is the best plan?" ”

Master Duan had actually agreed to let Dongfanghong come forward to solve the problem. But in order to ensure that there is no chaos, he still has to know Dongfanghong's strategy.

Dongfang Hong did not answer the question directly, but swore and promised: "If Master Duan agrees to hand over this matter to me, I will definitely handle this matter." ”

In order not to make a mistake and for the sake of prudence, Master Duan considered and spoke: "Dongfang Catcher, there are no outsiders here, you don't have to worry, just tell me your plan." so that everyone can work together on the staff. ”

Without the slightest hesitation, Dongfang Hong said his strategy: "Lord Duan, the method is very simple. After a while, the adults went out to announce the loss of important evidence, that is, the blood book. Then the lord said that he had received a secret report, and that the thieves who had stolen the blood book were mixed among the people. ”

Dongfanghong continued: "In the end, the lord ordered me to take the officials to search the people. It is the duty of ordinary people to cooperate with the government in handling cases, and it is not necessary to shirk them. ”

Hearing this, Lord Duan's face was overjoyed, and his tightly knit brows relaxed. I have to say that this method is very good, it can really be described as killing two birds with one stone.

First, the people claimed that the blood book was a pure fabrication, but someone stole the blood book. Isn't this an indirect indication that the blood book is likely to be true? If it's fake, what do others do with stealing it?

Second, dispatching officials to search their bodies will inevitably cause panic among the people. Some of the cowardly will surely leave on their own. In this way, it is bound to destroy the cohesion of those people.

Master Duan felt that Dongfanghong's idea was too good. Although satisfied, he just nodded steadily.

However, Lord Yun gave a thumbs up and exclaimed: "This plan is wonderful! Dongfang head catcher, you have done Dali Temple a great favor. ”

Li Shuang and Shen Mei looked at each other and smiled. The two of them had to admit that Dongfang Hong was still a good brain. As a person in the government, it is different, and he can do the opposite.

Although this strategy has the meaning of deceiving the people, those people seem to have fallen into evil and indiscriminately surrounded Dali Temple. also spoke evil words, attacking Chu Tiankuo and Lord Duan.

This is just a calculation.

Dongfang Hong looked at Li Shuang: "Li Shaoxia, I'm afraid this matter still needs your cooperation." ”

Li Shuang clasped his fists and saluted: "If there is a need for me, even if I speak, I will definitely cooperate." ”

Next, they got together to discuss how to lay it out.

In a short time, everyone had finished their deliberations, and the plan had been decided.

At that moment, Lord Duan summoned dozens of officials and instructed them how to act for a while.

Many officials reacted smartly, and quickly understood the deep meaning of this, and they all said that they would definitely obey Lord Duan's dispatch.

So, after getting ready, Lord Duan led everyone to the gate of Dali Temple.

"Look! Lord Duan is out! ”

"What a Duan-sama!"

"It's coming! Here it comes! ”

Those people were noisy and shouting, but when they saw the joke being born, they actually quieted down.

Lord Duan's expression was always very steady, but he didn't look at those people, pretending to be indifferent and arrogant. When it should be old-fashioned, it should be serious, and it should be kind.

In order to establish his prestige, Lord Duan did not smile or be angry. At this time, he is kind to the people, and I am afraid that the people will not take him seriously.

In front of those people, Master Duan raised his voice and asked Li Shuang: "Li Shaoxia, you explain the matter in detail to the official." ”

He raised the volume as much as he could, making sure that his voice could be heard by everyone present.

Li Shuang replied loudly: "Lord Duan, I really deserve to die, I have the trust of Lord Duan." You told me to keep the blood book, but I lost it. ”

The people present listened with their ears pricked up, trying to understand what was happening.

No wonder Dongfanghong will let Li Shuang cooperate. Li Shuang is a martial arts practitioner with profound martial arts, and his voice is even louder. As soon as he spoke, his voice fell into the ears of the people with precision and clarity.

Those people showed a look of surprise on their faces, and craned their necks to look up at Lord Duan and them.

Suddenly, Lord Duan was full of anger, and asked Li Shuang sharply: "Why is the blood book lost?" ”

Li Shuang replied with a loud voice: "The people who steal the blood book are mixed with these people. ”

He pointed casually at the dense crowd of people, causing an uproar among the people.

Li Shuang withdrew his hand, clasped his hands into fists and saluted, and pleaded loudly: "Lord Duan, I will definitely recover the blood book." Please allow me to find out the thieves among these people. If I can't recover the blood book, I'm willing to be punished. ”

Hearing this, those people were stunned, and a lot of panic broke out in the crowd. Many people were in a commotion, retreated in their hearts, and wanted to leave.

"This ......" Master Duan hesitated, not knowing whether to agree to Li Shuang's request.

Shen Mei secretly praised Li Shuang, his acting skills were really online, and he acted well, as if the real blood book had been lost from his hands.

"Wait!" At this time, Dongfang Hong jumped out to stop: "Things like body searches should be done by the officials." ”

Li Shuang replied loudly: "Lord Duan, I really deserve to die, I have the trust of Lord Duan." You told me to keep the blood book, but I lost it. ”

The people present listened with their ears pricked up, trying to understand what was happening.

No wonder Dongfanghong will let Li Shuang cooperate. Li Shuang is a martial arts practitioner with profound martial arts, and his voice is even louder. As soon as he spoke, his voice fell into the ears of the people with precision and clarity.

Those people showed a look of surprise on their faces, and craned their necks to look up at Lord Duan and them.

Suddenly, Lord Duan was full of anger, and asked Li Shuang sharply: "Why is the blood book lost?" ”

Li Shuang replied with a loud voice: "The people who steal the blood book are mixed with these people. ”

Li Shuang withdrew his hand, clasped his hands into fists and saluted, and pleaded loudly: "Lord Duan, I will definitely recover the blood book." Please allow me to find out the thieves among these people. If I can't recover the blood book, I'm willing to be punished. ”

Hearing this, those people were stunned, and a lot of panic broke out in the crowd. Many people were in a commotion, retreated in their hearts, and wanted to leave.

"This ......" Master Duan hesitated, not knowing whether to agree to Li Shuang's request.
