The guards in the courtyard stood upright, waiting for the owner to summon them. Instead, Ying Sheng stood next to him and whispered.

"I'm afraid there must be 10,000 people outside, you listen to the voice..."

Yu Houdao: "Yes, it is said that there are three or four hundred thousand people in Chengdu, and there are more than the people in Bazhong City. ”

Ying Sheng said: "The last time we came to Chengdu was a few years ago, right? I feel that there have been more people in recent years." ”

Yu Hou said: "I don't think it's more, because there are a lot of people in the first place, maybe you feel wrong." ”

This is the first time the head of the guard has come to Chengdu, and listening to them, he can't help but say: "There are indeed many people here, but they still can't be compared with the capital, but there are a lot of them." ”

He responded: "Of course, it can't be compared with the capital, but each has its own merits." I hope that the Governor will enforce the law impartially. ”

And outside the gate, it was already crowded with people.

It has been a long time since the people of Chengdu have been so lively during non-annual festivals and non-gatherings.

Nor did they gather outside the Governor's Palace.

At the beginning, when the guard at the gate saw so many people, he immediately went back to ask the governor for advice, and as soon as he entered the governor's palace, the governor signaled them to go out and continue to guard without being driven away. In fact, the Governor's Office has never driven out the people for so many years, and I don't know whether it is because the successive governors have indulged the people, or because the Governor's Office has not dealt much with the people.

To outsiders, the latter may be more of a reason.

In the words of a certain senior official in Beijing, the yamen, which rarely deals with the people, will give the people a feeling of being far away, so it is basically impossible to talk about whether they are used to or unaccustomed to this yamen. The yamen, who often deal with the people, will have a seriously divided evaluation.

For example, the yamen of the tax department often has a bad relationship with the people, and the people feel bullied, so they go to the county government to sue the tax department for overcharging taxes and asking for more silver, and robbing their families of grain.

On the other hand, for example, the Department of Academic Administration has a very good relationship with the people, and the people can say that everyone says that the Department of Academic Administration is good, and the local Department of Academic Administration is a holy place in the eyes of the people. Because it is in charge of the future of almost all young people, if you want to study and become an official, you have to deal with the Secretary for Academic Affairs.

When dealing with the Secretary of Administration, whether active or passive, parents and students will try their best to have a good relationship with the Secretary for Administration. Just like teaching is a profession that everyone respects, no one dares to offend them.

And the Bashu Dao Governor's Mansion, everyone said that it was because there were very few people who had intersections with him, so he was always not cared about.

So when its drum sounded, the curiosity of the people was aroused.

Everyone wants to see how the Governor's Yamen will try the case, and what are the big and important cases to control the Governor's Palace.

Shu Wangfu.

The Shu Prince's Mansion, which is not far from the Governor's Mansion, looks as usual from the outside, and it looks as usual from the inside.

However, the King of Shu did not drink with a few henchmen as usual today, nor did he listen to music.

Instead, he was talking to the prime minister about something very serious.

This serious matter is a matter of the drum of grievances that sounded an hour ago.

An hour ago, the prince had just gotten up, and while letting his subordinates get dressed, he was thinking about whether to drink or listen to music, when he suddenly heard a burst of drums.

The sound of this drum was very thick and long, and it had not been sounded for a long time, but the prince could immediately distinguish that this sound was coming from the drum at the gate of the Governor's Palace.

The prince's brows were instantly twisted together, and he hurriedly asked people to do two things, the first was to immediately find out what was going on in the governor's palace, and the second thing was to quickly invite the prime minister into the palace to see him.

After a few teas, the Prime Minister finally arrived at the palace.

At the same time, the people who inquired about the news from outside also came back to report: Recently, Chen Letian, who was very famous in Shudi, and his group filed a complaint in the Governor's Palace, accusing the assassins of Cao County Lingfang in Bazhong City of murdering Chen Letian, and the second sued Cao County Lingtong Bandit Iron Head Gang.

The king of Shu listened to the advice of his subordinates, looked at the young prime minister with a worried face, and said: "Aiqing, how can this be good? How can this Bazhong County Order be so uneasy? How can I do such a thing, the letter of appointment of the Cao County Order is still written by me, if it is reported to the imperial court, how can I be worthy of Your Majesty." ”

The prime minister was very young, and he pondered for a long time before he arched his hand and said: "The prince doesn't have to worry, the minister thinks that this is Chen Letian and they have already premeditated, and they just want to bring down the Cao County Order." Their goal is not to disadvantage the prince. Besides, the prince had already asked His Majesty for the crime of the previous twenty officials and bandits, and His Majesty not only did not blame the prince, but also rewarded the prince. Commend the prince for taking the initiative to admit his mistakes, this is what Mingjun did. His Majesty is an unprecedented monarch in the ages, and he will never blame the prince. ”

The King of Shu said blankly: "What Aiqing said, the widow doesn't quite understand. ”

The prime minister asked the prince to sit down and not be in a hurry, and then said leisurely: "Since these days, the name Chen Letian has been in full swing in our Shudi, and the prince also knows it. The investigation of the incident of 20 officials and bandits has come to light, and it is the first time that such a huge wave has been stirred up in our Shudi, which makes us a little unexpected. But thinking about it carefully, the minister thinks that the matter of the twenty officials must have a lot to do with the current Chen Letian's lawsuit against Cao County. Chen believes that nine times out of ten, when there were twenty officials, and even earlier, Chen Letian's gang had the evidence of Cao County's order bandits, but Chen Letian did not break out immediately, but endured until now, took a step-by-step approach, and did not take action until today. And, all at once, the battlefield was transferred from Bazhong City to the Governor's Palace. It can be said that Cao Xianling was caught off guard. Lord Wang, this Chen Letian is really a talent, just looking at the number of roads he has made along the way, the minister can conclude that if he can keep him to do things in the palace, he will not be worse than the minister. ”

The prime minister said so much, and the king of Shu thought for a while before he seemed to reluctantly understand, and said: "According to your meaning, no matter whether this case is true or false, and what the result is, Your Majesty will not blame Gu?"

The young prime minister nodded: "Exactly." ”

The King of Shu breathed a sigh of relief, walked up and patted the shoulder of the most trusted courtier: "Aiqing, it's still your best, only with you can you sit back and relax." Come and reward the prime minister's daughter. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. The prime minister hurriedly knelt down and thanked him.

The King of Shu pulled up the prime minister, the folds on his face were scattered, and said with a smile: "I understand what you just said, it is very likely that Chen Letian is planning for this month, just to finally pull the Bazhong County Order off the horse." Is there any deep hatred between Chen Letian and Cao Xianling? Is it worth his trouble?"
