"The villagers...... Don't make a fuss? Yan Laifu turned his back and asked the people in the hall.

"Since the people from the government left, they have gradually stopped." Several strong men knelt on the ground, smiling flatteringly.

"You guys did a good job," Yan Laifu turned, "those few words really set the atmosphere up. If it weren't for you today, I think Squire Hu would have to go. Come on, give me a reward of five taels of silver each, and send it back to the village! ”

Then a servant came from the back room, holding in his hand a silver platter, on which was wrapped in red cloth with silver stripes.

"Master Xie Yan! Thank you, Master Yan! Everyone looked at the shining silver, smiled, and kept kowtowing, and accepted it with trembling hands.

"Daring!"

One of the clerks snatched the county order's report and smashed it on the ground, startling the other three.

"Lord Prefect!" His gaze was fixed on the past, "Can you allow the people under your rule to make such a rebellion?" Still sitting here quietly, I'm really ...... Oh! ”

Another clerk heard this, and also echoed: "Lord Prefect, we need to be loyal to the country when we do things for the imperial court, if we are in trouble, how can we repay the emperor?" Please don't hesitate, give an order quickly, arrest the troublemakers, and arrest Hu Zhizhang and Yan Laifu for the crime of great rebellion! ”

The prefect of Jinan glanced at his comrade Chen in horror, and then calmed down, still looking down and flipping through the file: "Two, there is a saying that the law does not blame the public, you should have heard it." There are countless villagers in my Qufu, how can I arrest them all? As for Hu and Yan, we have no evidence to prove that they planned this incident. If you are indiscriminate and talk about a great crime of rebellion, it will not only hurt the hearts of the people, but also cause gossip for Prime Minister Yan. ”

"So, just leave it to your sleeve and leave it at that?" The clerk sneered.

"Now that the people's hearts are boiling, if the conflict is escalated again and not calmed down, you all know what the consequences will be. Don't think that you can pat your ass and leave if you throw the responsibility to the official, don't forget, you also nodded your head in this strategy of feasting the two! ”

The two offices were suddenly struck by lightning, and they stood there stunned, not daring to move.

"The prefect has a lot of troubles," Comrade Chen suddenly spoke, his face facing the two clerks, "We should understand, don't be demanding." Today, we can issue notices to appease the villagers and forgive them for their crimes. On the one hand, he informed Hu Yan and the second gentleman to let him recuperate from his illness and stop this discussion for the time being. The situation eased slightly. ”

"How can the court deal with it?" The two clerks had no choice but to obey Chen Tongpao's words.

Comrade Chen said: "This matter can be suppressed for a while. After three or five days, wait and see what happens, and then report to the court. ”

The prefect asked: "If the superintendent does not communicate with the imperial court, how can he know about the changes in Beijing?" Where does the word 'mindfulness' come from? ”

Faced with everyone's round after round of questions, Comrade Chen looked unhurried, waved his hand and said, "Don't worry. I have a way to get the news from the DPRK and China, so you don't need to ask more. ”

The three of them knew that this Lord Chen was clever, and after hearing these words, they were all confident, and said in unison: "Everything depends on the supervisor!" ”

In accordance with the order sent by the government office, the governor of Qufu County asked several officials to go to each village to post notices, and personally explained it, saying, "The prefect knows that his measures are inappropriate, and he has deeply repented, and he is afraid that you and other people will be panicked because of this, and he will send someone to pardon the crime." Its local officials shall not be held accountable! After being blamed, the hearts of the villagers were calmed. Then they heard that Master Hu was also spared from disaster, so they returned to the peasants and returned to the peasants without complaining.

Inside the palace, there were clouds.

Zeng Liang, the newly promoted head of the household, was standing straight under the dark palace wall, holding an oil-paper umbrella, staring at the rumbling sky. He stretched out his hand out of the umbrella and held it high, and for a moment, he suddenly felt a chill in his palm.

"Alas......" he looked at a little raindrop in his palm and clenched his fist, "God knows it too!" With that, his steps became faster and faster, and he walked straight into the lobby of a certain place.

"Gao Shangshu, Yan Xiang approved another document, saying that he would also let you take a look." Zeng Liang opened the bamboo curtain outside the house, put the umbrella, walked up with an arrow, and took out the paperwork in the sleeve.

"Leave that." Gao Jizhi, the secretary of the ministry, ignored it, only raised his eyes, and returned to his original work.

"What are you doing?" Zeng Liang saw that he was writing a blank piece of paper, knocked on the table and asked.

"It's a private matter."

"You'd better tell me," Zeng Liang's expression suddenly became solemn, "colleagues should not be secretive and fortified everywhere. ”

"Xiangzhi's suspicion is really heavy," Gao Jizhi handed over the paper with a smile, "If you want to see it, just look at it." ”

Zeng Liang's eyes shook from side to side a few times, and he became surprised: "Your reply to Chen Gongxuan?" When did he write to you? You did it without permission, this is a big crime! ”

"I just arrived this morning," Gao Jizhi tilted his body away, "he sent me a letter alone, saying that the situation in Shandong is not very good, and that the new policy has been stopped for the time being, and asked Yan Xiang about the movement here." ”

"You have to keep this matter a secret." Zeng Liang whispered.

Gao Jizhi smiled: "Xiang Zhi prides himself as a direct minister, why don't you impeach me angrily when I see me doing such a big thing that deceives and conceals my superiors and subordinates?" ”

Zeng Liang Zhengse said: "Yan Xiang has been doing this unkind thing for a long time, and the world is angry, but he knows it but doesn't dare to say it." I'm on the song for this matter, and I'm straight for the world! ”

"Look at you, it's just a joke. You dare to criticize the vice minister of the dynasty in front of your colleagues, which is enough to see the loyalty of Xiangzhi. Gao Jizhi said with satisfaction, "You wait, I'll finish writing first." ”

"You read the paperwork first," Zeng Liang pushed the paperwork of Zhongshu Province stiffly, "Didn't he ask about the news of the court?" After reading it, I was able to make up a few sentences. ”

Gao Jizhi put down the brush and lowered his head to read the small characters on the document silently. The paper window began to crackle, and the rain intensified.

"Guangdong Xinzhu is a member of the new policy, and he is the head of a small county...... There are five members of Jiangxi Xinzhu who refuse to accept the new policy, and the highest position is a learner...... Guan Shaanxi Zhu Liu...... Sichuan Zhusan ......"

"It's crazy." Gao Jizhi put down the letter, and cold sweat broke out from his forehead.

"Yan Xiang told me that these are people who should be killed, and this method is extremely effective, and you can take back Xuetian. Let my household department recount the local households, and ask you to quickly send officials to fill the vacancies. ”

"If you meet someone, you will kill it, who wants to make up for it!" Gao Jizhi was a little angry, and resolutely got up, "If we are honest and obedient, it will be no different from murder!" ”
