Wu Sijing saw that he was already shaken, so he smiled lightly, and then said: "So I guess that there can only be two situations over there: one is that the magistrate has not dismantled the sight, and he has been deceived by Ye Yongjia and others; The second is that the county's favoritism has been discovered and is already under their control. As for the right and wrong of these two, it still needs to be confirmed slowly, which is not something I can explain in one or two sentences, I hope you and several other merchants understand. ”

Although the fat merchant was not completely relieved, after listening to these heartfelt words, his suspicions were also reduced by half: "Anyone who encounters this kind of thing is uncomfortable, I understand you, Bishop." However, the problem is still there, the origin of this fake document is unknown, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to deal with it at the moment. ”

Wu Sijing grabbed the corner of the official document, pondered for a moment, and replied: "Yes, no matter how you say it, it is sent by the government, such as a stone, it will always see a wave when it is thrown into the water, we can't turn a deaf ear, we have to make a noise." ”

"It's better to hand over this official document to me, and I will send someone to return it to Ninghe. If you can meet the magistrate in person and listen to the answer, you will be relieved of your suspicions; If it is blocked by Ye Yongjia and others, you can also leave the document elsewhere and use it as a piece of evidence - after all, it is also a big crime to forge official documents. ”

The fat merchant said: "Yes, even if we can't fight back, we have to make him uncomfortable." But I'm afraid that this is the order of the imperial court, and I will protect them to the death no matter what. ”

Wu Sijing laughed: "Are these Han people monolithic? There are many officials who oppose the New Deal, and when the time comes, they will attack it en masse, and Niu Yuan will not be able to keep the surname Ye. Then another ignorant fool came over, and even coaxed and deceived, and the plan to cast the bird gun still went through! ”

Fat Fanshang's smile naturally emerged: "I hope that as you and I think, let the situation at this time have a successful end." ”

Ye Yongjia's performance a few days ago had arrived in Beijing, Niu Yuan read it carefully, knowing that the local situation was far more complicated than he imagined, so he decisively listened to Ye Yongjia's opinion, and only in the name of a private letter, approved a 'casting and forging are suitable, the discussion of various ministries is undecided, please don't start work in Beitang for the time being, waiting for the edict', and quickly sent it to Ninghe.

"Don't start work for the time being, wait for the edict to ......" The county order was read at the end, and there was a pause for a while, "Now is a critical season, why is the imperial court still noncommittal?" ”

"The news...... Do you want to poke Bishop Wu? The henchman who stood with his hands down looked at the official document and said.

"Shut the fuck!" The county commander widened his eyes, picked up a book casually, and smashed it in his face, "You still mention this guy with me!" I've already severed my ties with him, do you hear?! ”

"Yes, yes." The secretary took two steps back and bowed in apology.

Zhixian gritted his teeth a few times, slowly reined in his temper, lowered his voice and said, "It's not that I'm angry at you, then Ye Yongjia is too powerful." Our every move is under the noses of others, who knows where the ears and eyes are listening. This Buddha can't be provoked, it's still important to save his life, and nothing else is to be talked about. ”

"Your Excellency, Wu Sijing sent someone to ask for a meeting, saying that he would present the previous official letter." A servant suddenly broke into the study and clenched his fists to tell him.

The henchman looked at the county order with timid eyes, and the county order was also dumbfounded, he looked left and right blankly, hesitated for a while, and then calmed down, immediately ordered the former to retreat, hid the official documents, turned his head and said, "Then, please...... Invite him in. ”

"The villain has seen his parents." The two doors closed softly, and the light was dim, and a servant of five short stature knelt forward.

The magistrate was disdainful and played with the pen: "A dignified man from the Heavenly Dynasty actually works for a foreigner, not ashamed?" ”

"The county parents helped my lord trample on the law of the country and run rampant in the market, although the villain is disgraced, it is nothing more than throwing it away with the adult."

"You ......"

Zhixian was choked by his words, and immediately smiled: "It seems that Wu Sijing can choose you here for a certain reason." Anyway, what's the matter with him? ”

The servant took out a stack of letters and held them high above his head: "My lord is very puzzled, why doesn't the official document sent by the imperial court carry the official seal?" So send it back and let the adults give an explanation. ”

The county magistrate had learned the truth from Ye Yongjia last night, and he was not shocked in his heart, but the drama must be done enough. He stretched out his hand to take the letter and read it, and he sighed bitterly and stomped his foot, looking like he couldn't help it.

"Oh, I've never opened this letter, how do you know it's written!" He patted his forehead, as if he was about to burst into tears, "Oh my God...... Ye Yongjia, this bastard! Why did he deceive his own officials like this? ”

"Master Wu said that this is a discordant plan he has resorted to, in order to sow discord between you and the merchants."

"Yes, yes, a plan of discord!" Wu Sijing hurriedly slapped his thigh, "I don't know if they believe it?" ”

"Nope."

"That's good......" Zhixian has been frowning sadly, "In fact, not only me, even Li Wenshou and Li participated in politics were fooled by him!" But this Ye Yongjia is the proud protégé of the prime minister of the dynasty, even if I know it today, I don't dare to tell outsiders, so I can only talk to Bishop Wu. ”

"Isn't Li Wenshou with Ye Yongjia?"

"Definitely. Li Wenshou and he were incompatible, so Ye and Cai went to the guest house, while he stayed in the guest room of my yamen. Ye Yongjia took advantage of this provocation to eradicate dissidents and run rampant in the government and the opposition. Li Wenshou was sulking in his stomach, so he forced Fan Shang at the meeting that day, and he was furious, wanting to mess up his new policy. ”

"But you can't be yellow."

"yes, my head fell off that way. But Ye Yongjia is sowing discord like this, and sooner or later it will be a big deal. I inquired, the court will not have a document for nearly a month, if Bishop Wu receives an official document, do not believe it. ”

"If there was an emergency, wouldn't it be a leak of your letter?"

"In this way, the official himself will leave a mark, and stamp half of the seal on the head of the letter, and the other half at the end of the letter, so that your lord will fold it all, and if it is compatible, it will be my own letter."

The slave nodded again: "My lord is clever!" The villain must keep in mind and return to Master Wu word for word. ”

The county commander smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, you can go." When this incident is over, I'm going to have a big dinner with him! ”

The servant respectfully withdrew.

Zhixian let out a long breath, saw that his shadow was far away, and took out the official document in the cabinet to look at it.

"You do your job first."

Suddenly, he was frightened to learn that the county hurriedly stuffed the official documents, and when he looked up, it turned out to be Cai Xianqing, the squire of the Ministry of War.

"Is it Wu Sijing's person who came just now?" He stroked his beard and sneered.

"Yes, I did as you asked."

"Looks like you're not stupid! With this, there will be no place for Wu Sijing to die! Cai Xianqing pinched his beard tightly.
