As soon as I saw more and more people, I dispersed the patrolling soldiers. Hurriedly helped her up and said, "What is the name of this eldest lady, what is the grievance?" When the woman heard this, she didn't care what the eldest lady meant, and said while crying: "The woman's surname is inexplicable, Chunhong, she is the wife of a merchant in Linyi City, and her life is okay."

However, last month, the store was suddenly closed by the government, and the silver and soft things were also confiscated. Even the husband of the folk woman was forcibly taken away by them, and there is no whereabouts until now, and the folk woman has gone to the government many times to inquire about what crime my husband has committed, but he has been humiliated by the government officials and the county magistrate in every way. I wanted to sue the county guard Wang Bing, but this person was greedy for money and lustful. With that county order, this is a family of officials and officials, and I ask the adults to be the masters of the people's women."

After the people around heard this, a man who looked like a merchant stood up and said, "Yes, my eldest brother's family is like this, and he is still an orphan and a widow." The officials of Linyi City were with each other, and ordinary people were severely beaten by their officials if they complained a little. And now that many people have been forced to go up the mountain and fall into the grass, who can do anything."

I have thought about the predicament of Linyi City and the solution countless times, but I really never thought that the people's grievances against the government are so deep. After hearing this, Mrs. Zhou scolded on the spot: "Damn, if it weren't for this group of bastards, we wouldn't be displaced." I must slap him hard, dozens of big ear scrapers," the people around him echoed when they heard it, "Yes, you should fan." ”

Then many people rolled up their sleeves, and I saw that it was going to happen **** if it went on like this. Hurriedly calmed down the grievances of the surrounding people, and then said to Lin Qi: "Lin Qi, you take my token to the barracks, transfer 500 people to the county office, you must hurry." I'll go first with Mrs. Zhou. ”

Lin Qi took the token and said, "Don't worry, my lord, Lin Qi will arrive as fast as possible." I looked at the woman surnamed Mo in front of me, touched the heads of the two children and said, "Let's go, let's go to the county office." I would like to see why this prefectural magistrate dares to act so arbitrarily." Mrs. Zhou and a group of people followed me, and then more and more people joined in.

Many people were also very curious, and even the old mother of the Qinglou asked passers-by what she was doing, and followed the woman to the county government after turning three corners. Along the way, there were many private houses and wine shops, and many people sat on the side of the road to rest when they saw that they had reached their destination, and they also wanted to know how I, the new lord of the city, would deal with this matter.

I was about to enter with Mrs. Zhou and the woman surnamed Mo, when the two officials at the door said, "Stop, don't you see that this is the county government? If you want to go in, you have to pay 20 yuan first." Then the two of them casually glanced at the woman and Mrs. Zhou, and I glanced at the so-called county office.

was a little unhappy with the two people in front of him, but Mrs. Zhou went up directly and grabbed the two of them are a few big mouths. It was dizzy to beat the two directly, maybe the two of them had never been treated like this, and they were stupid to look at Mrs. Zhou for a while.

After a while, he said, "Damn, you actually dare to beat the official, I think you don't want to live," and after speaking, he shouted to the county office, and suddenly rushed out a lot of officials with knives. Surrounded by a few of us in the middle, the two children were already scared to tears.

Mo Chunhong comforted on the side and said goodbye. Mrs. Zhou was not afraid when she stood there, and the people around her also retreated when they saw that the matter was getting bigger. Without the heroic momentum just now, the leading official said, "Who is coming?" ”

I grabbed Mrs. Zhou, if we want to fight, it would be good if we could protect ourselves in the chaos. In addition, it was really difficult for these two children and women to take care of them, so I stepped forward and said, "Linyi City Lord Wei Feng, please ask the county magistrate to go out and see him." A group of officials next to him suddenly laughed and said, "Hahaha, what city lord? Have you ever seen a city lord take a person when he goes out?"

The leading official saw that Wei Feng's aura was lofty and unintentional, and the momentum of the big man next to him was also very human. It's better to make a report, so I turned around and sent a servant to the inner hall to report. Then he continued to surround Wei Feng and the others, thinking that if it was a fake, it would be up to Lao Tzu to fix you.

Less than a cup of tea, the Kung Fu county order led people out, and when he saw that Wei Feng was almost unstable, he knelt down directly and said: "Xiaguan Liu Ye visited the city lord, I don't know that the city lord is coming, and the lower official is lost, I really deserve to die." Then he knelt on the ground without raising his head, and his heart trembled, and he couldn't even wipe the sweat on his forehead.

I saw the city lord that night, and naturally recognized it at a glance, Liu Ye knew the way of being an official. So after I went back, I was always thinking about how to curry favor with Wei Feng and keep the official hat on his head. But who would have thought that this group of short-sighted servants would actually use knives to surround people.

Even if you jump into the Yellow River, you can't wash it now. The surrounding officials also put down their weapons one after another, one by one like frosted eggplants. Slowly dispersed, I glanced at Liu Ye, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Lord Liu, what a big posture, if I am just an ordinary person, if there is any grievance."

I'm afraid I won't be able to enter your county government without twenty wen?" Liu Ye also secretly complained in his heart when he heard this, I just let them collect ten wen for these damn servants. Unexpectedly, the two of them actually received twenty wen, the key is that you can accept it, you also received it from the head of the city lord, didn't you carry the coffin to find the dead.

Then scolded the two of them dozens of times in his heart, and then said with a smile: "The city lord said that I am joking, as the commander of Linyi County, I should solve problems for the people of a city." How dare you accept money from people, the matter of collecting money is completely because the two of them acted arbitrarily and recklessly, and they really don't know it......" said a word that wiped himself clean, as if he had wronged himself if he had not left a name in history.

The thickness of his skin is really beyond people's reach, I signaled Mrs. Zhou not to act rashly, and then relaxed and said, "In this case, then Lord Liu can know the woman behind me?" Liu Ye saw that it was really a house leak that happened to rain overnight. Why did this woman come, and then she rolled her eyes and said, "Lord Hui, Xia Guan has indeed never seen this woman." I don't know what grievances she has to bother the city lord to come in person?"

I raised my hand to let Liu Ye get up, after all, he is also the county magistrate of a city. Even if I want to condemn him, I have to save some face for him, and then let Mo Chunhong say his grievances again in front of the people of Linyi and Liu Ye.

At this time, many people also stood up to testify, so that Liu Ye couldn't rely on it when he saw it. Then he turned his heart and said, "Lord of the city, the lower officials have been wronged." All of this was instructed by the county guard Wang Bing to do this, and the lower officials have studied hard for decades. How can you not understand that this move will cause public resentment, and I hope that the adults will investigate it. ”

In this way, all the fault is pushed to the dead Wang Bing, anyway, Wang Bing is dead, and there is no proof of death. However, I really appreciate Liu Ye's eloquence, but now is the time to reunite the hearts of the people, so I smiled slightly and said, "Since this is the case, then please also ask Lord Liu to release the imprisoned Mo Chunhong's husband." ”

When Liu Ye heard this, he immediately said, "Your Majesty will receive the order." Then he commanded, "Why are you still stunned? Why don't you go and be a man." Several of the officials ran to the cell and set up a man with a mantle and a bloodstained uniform, whose face could not be seen clearly. It seems that he must have suffered a lot of punishments, Mo Chunhong recognized her husband at a glance, Jin Qiang cried and ran to the front, hugged the prisoner and shouted, "Xianggong, Xianggong, wake up." ”

The two children also cried and called for their father. Countless people were moved by it and accused Liu Ye one after another. Jin Qiang slowed down for a while before he whispered, "Lady, you, why are you here." Then the two hugged each other and cried bitterly, and I stepped forward and asked, "Jin Qiang, why did the official arrest you?"

After hearing this, Jin Qiang let go of Mo Chunhong, and then was helped by the woman to kneel down and said, "The villain was originally a shop owner, and he usually does some cloth business. It was probably a few days ago that a group of people ran to the villain's store to ask for money, and the villain had money for them. A few people said on the spot that they wanted the villain not to regret it when the time came, and the villain was arrested by the official messenger the next day, and the person who tortured the villain was the same group of people a few days ago......"

I saw that Lin Qi had arrived with the soldiers, and I couldn't suppress the anger in my heart at this time. Then he ordered: "Come on, give me Liu Ye and a group of officials to be put in prison and wait for their fate." Then the county government was sealed for me. ”

Liu Ye was stunned on the spot when he heard this, recalling that he had studied hard for decades to get the official title of a county order. I originally wanted to benefit the people, but Wang Bing was too powerful. And his own county order can also be said to be dispensable, so he gradually indulged.

People tend to change their initial mindset and perception after experiencing something. Liu Ye did not say a word and begged for mercy, and let the soldiers escort him. Listening to the applause of the people around him, he couldn't help but sigh. I looked at the county government with the seal affixed to it, so as to temporarily calm some of the people's grievances against the government, but I still had to try to recruit those who were forced to surrender.

There was nothing to do for a while, so I ordered Mrs. Zhou and Lin Qi to escort me back to the City Lord's Mansion. Then a few literate soldiers were left behind, and some bamboo slips were collected to collect the thoughts in the hearts of the people.

At first, no one dared to step forward, but as one of them said boldly, others also stepped forward to complain. Besides, as soon as I returned to the City Lord's Mansion, Ma Yun was waiting for me there with an anxious face. When he saw me coming back, he didn't care about saluting and said directly, "General, you are back." I heard that there is a learned and talented person in this Linyi City, and if he can be taken into account, it will undoubtedly be a great help to our army. ”

After hearing this, I smiled slightly and said, "Why didn't the military advisor invite this person?" Ma Yun saw that I was joking, and said anxiously, "I sent someone to invite me with a lot of money, but he just refused to come." Hearing this, I frowned, and I went with a lot of money to invite me to come.

And he actually made Ma Yun pay so much attention to it, so he said, "Then how is this person compared to the military division?" Ma Yun didn't think about it, "Don't hide it from the general, this person's ability is several times better than mine." ”
