The minions watched Yan Liang coming from a distance and said to them, "Ladies and gentlemen, this official is not very relieved, so he has come to monitor you and others on the order of General Liu. Thou shalt do your best, and do not fail the court! Let's go! ”

These entourage of the servants were all serving Shen Jing, and although they heard this, they were still silent, but looked at the little eunuch. The little eunuch nodded uncomfortably, and these people kowtowed to Yan Liang's feet. When Yan Liang saw this, he didn't care, and said in his heart: "I am General Liu's confidant, even if they don't accept it, they can still disobey the order!" So he lifted up the leader calmly and sent them away.

While the sky was still light, a dozen or so minions hurriedly posted His Majesty's personal message on the gray walls of the streets and alleys, and Yan Liang was not satisfied, so he ordered them to paste the notice all the way to the Dingxin Bridge in the north; In a short time, almost all the walls south of Dingxin Bridge were occupied by this notice. Sure enough, the people crowded to watch, and after a few literate people finished reading, they all knew what was going on.

After all, it was the emperor's edict, and the weight was still quite heavy, and the people's sentiment was slightly flat for a while, and most of them settled down and no longer fell into panic. Yan Liang was greatly satisfied with the reaction of the people, and felt more and more that his plan was so great. Keep doing it, and then do the second step! He thought excitedly, as he walked up to the little eunuch: "Father-in-law, now we are a few steps away from the hearts of the people. Now that the notice has been effective, when the relatives of the condemned prisoners are lenient, and the hearts of the people in the alley are stabilized, the matter will be fine. ”

When the little eunuch heard this, he thought indignantly: 'This guy is already in a high position, and he is planning in front of Liu Gong, and Rong Lu is enough! I have to live a quiet life, but I have to rob me of the credit of this nobody! I finally got a reputation out, and I was hindered by him like this, how could I swallow this evil breath! ’

The little eunuch immediately rolled his eyes and said, "The edict I received from Chief Shen only said that it was to the people, and it did not mention forgiving relatives. We don't understand what the crimes of those condemned criminals are, we have to consider Your Majesty's holy will. ”

Yan Liang saw that such a lowly person dared to talk back to him, but he was angry enough: "General Liu sent me here to replace you, and everything will be arranged by me." Do you have anything else to say? ”

"So, Yan Shilang must have a general's handwriting, can you take a look?" The little eunuch stretched out his hand and asked.

"It's not ......" Yan Liang frowned, "Oh, father-in-law, I am the general's henchman for many days, why lie to you!" ”

"No," the little eunuch became serious, "we are people who serve the emperor, and we love to pay attention to rules in everything." If you want to listen to you, you have to write on paper. ”

Yan Liang regretted that he had miscalculated at the beginning, why he didn't come earlier, causing an internal discord. He knew that this little eunuch was the person in charge of Shen, and he was just a waiter, and he had no reason to call him, and he didn't dare to offend.

Yan Liang had no choice but to say: "Since my father-in-law refuses, I will send someone to the palace to ask for instructions, ask for a document to come down, and then make a decision." ”

The little eunuch also agreed, and sent his retinue back to the palace to receive orders; He was afraid of provoking Liu Zhennian's anger, so he sent another person to the residence of the chief administrator, Shen Jing, and begged him to protect him.

During the time of the delay, Wandang's cronies had already explored the situation inside and outside the alley, almost to the extent that they knew it all over the world. Because there was nothing to explore, he returned to his home to pay over Wan Heshun, and reported what he heard and saw one by one.

"Who would have thought that these two beasts would bite each other apart!" Wan Heshun was overjoyed and said, "In this way, as soon as the edict comes out, my generation will know what he is planning." ”

"Report to the king of the county, Sergeant Li and the people who have been edicted ask to see you!" Someone shouted in the hall.

"Look at what's going on!" Wan Heshun said, then turned his head, "Allow him to see!" ”

The servant who had been edicted entered the house, bowed to Wan Heshun, and kowtowed: "The king of the county called the little one to come, and I don't know what to order." ”

Wan Heshun asked first, "Where are you going?" ”

The servant said: "The villain was sent to Donkey Skin Lane by Chief Manager Shen, and when he got the edict, he was going to find Yan Shilang." ”

Wan Heshun stepped forward and grabbed his arm, showing a kind smile: "You slaves, you work hard every day, and you work hard. Come, go to the window and have a cup of tea with the official, and relieve your boredom. ”

The slave retracted his hand and said again and again: "A small slut, you have to be on an equal footing with the king of the county!" The villain is terrified! Terrified! ”

Wan Heshun pursed his lips: "I kindly asked you to drink tea, and you pushed it upside down, won't you live up to my good intentions?" If you can't afford it again, it's yours and you're not. ”

The servant could not be the hospitality of the king of Wanjun, so he had to bend over and sit on the chair.

The two drank for a while, and the slave knew that it was not early, and after wiping his mouth, he said respectfully: "The little one still has urgent things to do, thank you for the good tea and hospitality of the king of the county, I really can't wait." ”

"Before leaving, lend me the edict to read." Wan Heshun raised his eyebrows and glanced at him with his peripheral vision. The latter was terrified and did not know how to answer.

"This edict Wan has seen it before, and now I want to see if there are any mistakes, don't have any more problems." Wan Heshun saw that he seemed to be unwilling, and hurriedly reassured.

The slave didn't know what to do, so he had to hesitantly take out the holy decree from his bosom and hand it over to Wan Heshun to watch.

"The crimes committed by the sinners in Donkey Skin Lane are not serious, and they don't have to harm their wives and children, but also harm others, so they should be fully forgiven now to show the kindness of the court." Wan Heshun read silently, and then swept his gaze down, "I heard Liu Qing's words, the relatives of the dead criminals are all far away from the outside of the city, and the tombs in the city are expensive, so they don't want to live there. Let someone give him a house and move elsewhere, so that he may fulfill his filial piety......" he took a breath and hurriedly closed the edict.

"It's no problem, you can take it."

The servant didn't feel anything strange, took the edict directly, and withdrew from the house escorted by the sergeant—and Wan Heshun, who was in the house, burst out laughing.

"That's it!" Wan Heshun looked at his cronies excitedly, "I already know the plan of the willow thief!" Without further ado, I will send someone to Yuefu now, and according to my original instructions, take advantage of his ignorance to make a plan to provoke the generals! ”

Lu Fangxuan's news is not very well-informed, and even closed. Today, the people sent have finally waited for a major event that the 'generals' have lost harmony.

But Lu Fangxuan still couldn't find a chance to start. He believes that Donkey Skin Lane is a matter of face for the imperial court, and now this storm is not enough to set off their offensive.

Just as he was pacing in the inner court, he saw Qi Shi leading the people of Wanfu to come, and hurriedly greeted him to the main hall.

"I won't stay long," the person waved his hand, "I have come to inform Lu Gong of one thing: Liu Dang will move the relatives of the dead prisoners out of the alley, and Du Renyan will say it." The king of my county is ready to take the opportunity to obstruct it, so that it will not work. If Duke Lu is willing to fight the thieves with the king of the county, he can send people; If you don't want to, the king of the county should be a lone thief, you ...... Just rest at home! ”
