Chapter 331 The Mainstay (8)
Whether it is a change of course, or a traitor to the enemy, the change of Qian Yuanyou's camp has caused an uproar in Yunzhou.
The Yun family has been able to steadily occupy the position of the first powerful in Yunzhou over the years, except for the gradual growth of the family's power, it has always stood with the common people.
In line with the righteousness and principle of righteousness and goodness, they have constantly stood up for the injustices suffered by the people at the bottom, and no matter whether it is the officials who oppress the people or the rich and the big, they have never flinched.
The prestige of the Yun family in Yunzhou is the biggest support for them to stand tall, not afraid of the jealousy and hostility of the Assassin Mansion, and the family is getting stronger and stronger.
Having the support of the people is a very important foundation for the great clan that is on the rise, and the three words of winning the hearts and minds of the people seem to be a lie in normal times, but when it is really needed to use it, it can exert extraordinary power.
Just like now, after the Yun family got Qian Yuanyou's account book, they did not immediately rush to the Assassin's Mansion and attack Lord Assassin Shi in person, but first spread the matter of Chen Jinghe's abuse of the people of Yunzhou to donate the wealth of the war to the people as their own.
In the past, the Yun family didn't have to go to such great lengths, but now it is the period of the national war, and the power of the government has been greatly strengthened.
Almost overnight, Chen Jinghe's various deeds spread in the market.
The Yun family also found those soldiers of the rebel army who wanted to go to the treasury to receive supplies and spring clothes, but were repelled by Chen Jinghe, and asked them to tell their experiences.
Therefore, within ten days, the anger of the people of Yunzhou was ignited, and at the same time, under the guidance of the Yun family, they gathered in front of the Assassin's Mansion and shouted for the government to give an explanation.
In the morning, there were only a few hundred people in front of the gate, but around noon, thousands of people gathered.
By the afternoon, the entire city of Yunzhou was alarmed, and under the empty alleys of thousands of people, the sea of black and oppressive human heads surrounded the streets around the Thorn Mansion, which made people tremble.
It's a torrent.
Seven years before Qianfu, even if something like Chen Jinghe appeared in Yunzhou, the people would at most talk about it, scold a few dog officials, and would not run to the Assassin's Mansion and want to shake the authority of the government.
This is not only because it is commonplace, but also because they know that the first person to appear in front of the government will definitely be arrested and imprisoned.
The leaders of the "gathering and making trouble" will inevitably suffer unjustified disasters, and others will also be beaten by the officials and officials, and the flames will be extinguished by the government when the matter is still strong.
But seven years later, everything is different.
Whenever something happens, the Yun family will always rush to the front.
Their cultivators are not weak, and they are often supported by the heroes of the rivers and lakes and the righteous people, such as the Changhe Boat Company, who often sends their own cultivators to stand with the people of the Yun family at the first time.
There are local clans such as the Yun family, as well as Jianghu forces such as Changhe Boat Travel, standing in front of the common people, presiding over justice for the people against the government, and the fast arresting officials of the Assassin Mansion cannot cross them, so they can't do anything to the people.
And because the Yun family and other forces just want justice, they are the masters of the people, and they are not simply unable to get along with the government, so the Assassin Mansion has neither the ability to deal with them, nor the reason to kill them.
Over the years, it is precisely because such things often happen that the people of Yunzhou know that they can be stretched out if they have grievances, so they are no longer afraid of the government, the powerful, and the bullies.
is also grateful to the Yun family and other forces, and is willing to stand up for them again and again without the pressure of the government, so everyone's good hearts and chivalrous thoughts have also been stimulated, and they have been greatly strengthened.
In this case, after so many years, the land of Yunzhou has become a place where justice and morality are the first laws of words and deeds.
But whenever someone is harmed and oppressed by the government, in the blink of an eye, there will be countless righteous people who will take them to the government to seek justice.
It is also because of the unity of the people of Yunzhou that the situation of the common people Baixin has been getting better and better over the years, and no one is afraid of the government like a tiger anymore, and everyone is generally able to look at each other equally.
So, from the white-haired old man to the young men and women, they are all praising the justice of the world and praising the strictness of the court - as long as life is good and there is no oppression from the top, the people will always habitually thank the court for its justice and praise the emperor's wisdom, and because of this, the Yun family and other forces have not been suppressed by the court.
It is not so much that the warehouse is honest and knows the etiquette, but that there is no bullying and oppression of the good and the people's hearts are upright.
The people of Yunzhou are proud to be a Qi person and a Yunzhou person.
As soon as the national war broke out, the government and the Yun family and other forces called on the people of Yunzhou to contribute to the national war, and everyone in Yunzhou enthusiastically donated money and materials.
Young and strong men spontaneously helped the city defense army repair the fortifications, carrying baskets every day, to the unknown soldiers, young women and children who delivered food, food and water to the soldiers inside and outside the city wall, and there were countless others.
Yunzhou, where hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians work together and are of one mind, should be as stable as Mount Tai.
Unexpectedly, Chen Jinghe happened.
Because of this, as soon as I heard about this stubble this time, the sense of justice and anger of the people of Yunzhou was immediately ignited, and hundreds of people rushed to the Thorn Mansion one after another, wanting to give an explanation to the big guys.
Li Ru, the assassin of Yunzhou, paced back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back, and the enthusiastic crusade of the people outside the door, every time he heard a little, the depression and anger in his heart became even worse.
"It's the other way around, it's the other way around! These mobs, what are they trying to do, and they can't blatantly rebel?
"The big war is imminent, the Hu people are close at hand, these people don't want to contribute to the country, they all come to attack the Assassin Mansion, this is to want the relatives to be painful and the enemies to be happy?
"At this time, the infighting is trying to give up the land of Yunzhou to others? How can this be reasonable, how can it be unreasonable! This official has been in office for so many years, and he has never seen such stupid, ignorant and ignorant people!"
Being yelled at was really unbearable, Li Ru pointed in the direction of the gate and scolded, his face distorted, and spit everywhere.
He has been the assassin of Yunzhou for more than a year, and it is the first time that he has encountered such a large-scale trouble from the people of Yunzhou to find the government.
In the previous year, although there were several things in Yunzhou, first, because the world in Yunzhou has been very peaceful in recent years, there is no major harm to the people, not to mention any influence, and the obstacles caused to him are limited;
Second, Li Ru has always thought that these things are all about the Yun family fighting for power with the government, and the object of hatred is the Yun family, but he didn't expect that the people in the market would suddenly come to denounce the government in such a big battle, standing on the opposite side of him and the government.
From the bottom of his heart, Li Ru felt tricky about the current situation and was deeply afraid.
The people's anger has always been something that the government is very afraid of.
On weekdays, the government can control public opinion and even suppress some groups that vainly try to be unfavorable to the government, but when the people's grievances boil and thousands of people begin to speak out, after the matter becomes bigger, the government must consider the situation being out of control on the one hand, and the danger of the people flooding the government, and on the other hand, it must also consider the official voice.
If they can't control the situation quickly and are noticed by the imperial court, their black gauze hats will be quite dangerous, so they will have to intervene to solve the problem immediately.
Tens of hundreds of people are fish and meat on the chopping board of the government, let them be slaughtered, tens of millions of people are enough to have a head-on dialogue with the government, and the will of hundreds of thousands of people is an existence that can make the local government tremble.
The law of the jungle, the basic law.
Li Ru is the assassin of Yunzhou, the strongest power holder in Yunzhou on the surface, as a feudal official of the herdsmen of the Son of Heaven, the people under his command are only "grazing" in his opinion, no different from the cattle and sheep of the grassland herdsmen.
There is an essential difference between the two sides, and his authority is unquestionable and subversive.
He should have governed the other party obediently.
But now, the cattle and sheep have risen up to make trouble, doesn't this mean that he, as a shepherd, has done a great failure? If he obediently obeys and agrees to all the demands of those outside, will he not be ruled by the cattle and sheep?
Who is the lord of Yunzhou?
If this matter spreads, he will get a cowardly official reputation, so how will the princes and emperors in the court think of him, how can they believe in his ability, and how will he be promoted in the future?
The more Li Ru was afraid of the people outside, the more angry he felt, and the more he didn't want to bow his head and admit defeat.
"My lord, there are more and more people outside, if we don't deal with Chen Cangcao again, I'm afraid the situation will be out of control. The governor of the Assassin Mansion on the side, Shi Haoyan, persuaded him.
"How to deal with it? We all have a share in what Chen Jinghe did, who hasn't benefited from the treasury in the entire Assassin Mansion? Now that Chen Jinghe has been disposed of according to their wishes, they will dispose of this official in the future, and will this official also have to comply?" Li Ru was furious.
Changshi said bitterly: "But the matter has come to this, the evidence of the Yun family is conclusive, if we don't let Chen Jinghe take responsibility, I'm afraid that the anger of the people of Yunzhou will have nowhere to subside."
"Those civilians in the market are just that, but there are still many rebels outside Yunzhou City, if they make trouble, the cultivators of the Assassin Mansion are afraid that they will not be able to stop it. ”
Li Ru's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
The person who can't stop him is the one who can influence, and even influence, his words and deeds.
"My lord, Lord Gao is back. ”
"Get him close. ”
The person who entered the door was a middle-aged man in the prime of life, and when Li Ru saw him, his expression softened a little, "How is the situation?"
"Lord Yu, the lower officials have already found out, there is no sign of the gathering of the Hu people's army on the other side of Yunzhou! The direction of the Hu people's main attack will definitely not be our Yunzhou!"
After Yipinlou found out that the Hu people were going to attack Yunzhou, when the news was sent to the imperial court, it was also passed on to the Assassin's Mansion through the Yun family, hoping that the Assassin's Mansion would pay attention to the military situation and seriously prepare for war.
Compared with the Yun family, an outsider and a local force, Li Ru certainly believed in his own people, so he immediately sent Gao Furui with some elite walkers to sneak across the Yellow River to investigate the situation.
Now that Gao Furui said that there was no military intelligence on the north shore, Li Ru certainly had no reason not to believe it.
You must know that Gao Furui is a cultivator of the Great Perfection Realm in the late stage of the Yuan Shen Realm, and he was born in a large family among the landlords of the Shu clan, and he has received a good education since he was a child, is familiar with the scriptures, and is especially good at military affairs.
Not only that, Gao Furui also has a close relationship with a certain big figure in the DPRK and China, and is pinned on high hopes, and his future is limitless.
Such a talented and cultivated man took the risk to personally go to the other side of the river to confirm the military situation, what reason did Li Ru have to distrust?
Since the Hu people will not come to the city, Yunzhou is not in a big problem, and there is no need to rely too much on the local heroes, the people and even the rebels, Li Ru also has an idea about how to deal with Chen Jinghe's affairs.
"Tell those people outside that Chen Cangcao has mishandled the treasury, and he will hand over all his duties from now on, and return to the mansion to wait for the government to find out about this matter!"
Changshi was instructed and bowed down to receive the order.
After a while, he came to the gate of the Assassin's Mansion, and in front of the excited people outside, he announced Li Ru's disposal plan with righteous words, and then said righteously:
"Lord Assassin Shi is fair and strict, and he will definitely find out all the details of the case, give everyone an explanation, and live up to everyone's expectations and efforts.
"Everyone should also believe in the government, treat this matter rationally, don't take the opportunity to cause chaos, cause trouble to the government, hinder the government's errands, delay the time for the investigation of the case, and don't let those with ill intentions take advantage of the opportunity!
"Alright, let's go back quickly, everybody. The war is imminent, we will perform our duties, so that Yunzhou can deal with all invading enemies in an orderly manner, ensure that Yunzhou is not lost, and protect everyone's net worth!"
