Chapter 3 Visits to the Governors
The coffin was stopped for three days.
Su Li cried for three days, crying to death, and fainted several times.
After being kidnapped by the kidnappers, coupled with the heartache of the loss of a loved one, Su Liying's weak body could not send his uncle and three fathers up the mountain, and he couldn't even kneel and worship.
After recuperating for ten days, Su Li helped his sick body and went to the Yamen to meet with Huang Wensheng, the state minister.
Huang Wensheng comforted Su Li for a while, said a clichΓ© similar to "festival mourning and change", and praised the contribution of Su Zong's father and son to Yunzhou.
Su Li cried again, saying that the people of Yunzhou attach so much importance to affection and righteousness, which is the result of his uncle's kindness, and it is also the merit of Lord Huang in educating and touching the people, and the process of the two of them was completed properly.
Huang Wensheng raised his sleeves to cover his face, made a fake motion to wipe the corners of his eyes, and then asked the maid to clean up, change the tea, and invite Su Li to sit down again.
"This official has recently come to read Su Gongzi's "Snake Catcher Says", the text is simple, abandoning the vanity style of the previous dynasty, which can be described as the decline of eight generations!"
Su Li bowed his head slightly, this was a compliment to Han Liu, and he could only accept it on behalf of the two old men temporarily.
"It's just that the point of view inside seems to be in vain about the ...... of the government"
"Lord Huang, it's serious!" , Su Li "Teng" stood up and arched his hand, "The ancients said, water can overturn the boat, it can also carry the boat, the people are the water, the country is the boat, and the rest tastes and smells, and if you listen to it, you will be clear and biased, and you will be dark...... (10,000 words omitted here)"
Huang Wensheng smiled secretly in his heart, "Su Li is really a nerd as the people say, and the imperial court needs this kind of stunned youth to show generosity!" β
A war of words is a collision of reason and emotion.
In the end, Su Li threw out a sentence in a timely manner, "My lord, the court is thinking about the stability of the country, and the villain is thinking about the rest of the people, in fact, the goal is the same, that is, the country and the people, then the villain has a suggestion, which can not only benefit the country, but also reassure the people, all snake catchers are handed over to the villain, and the villain contributes twice as much, and the people can pay the national endowment and support their families!" Adults can also pay tribute to the emperor! β
Huang Wensheng smiled, in troubled times, the imperial court is happy to see such a loser from a rich family, especially a loser in charge.
"Do as Childe says!"
Su Li's first goal was achieved, and under the heavy reward, the number of snake catchers skyrocketed, the number of dead and injured people increased relatively, the resentment against the court skyrocketed, and relatively, the gratitude to the Su family also increased at an invisible rate.
The people's will lies in the slow accumulation, "the accumulation of water into the abyss, the dragon is born", but this accumulation, can not be too fast, the person who becomes a big thing, what is needed is patience, thick accumulation.
"Lord Huang, you just said that the people of Yunzhou ate cold food for three days for the death of their uncle, and the villain was uneasy, and he was willing to send rice in the city, one to repay the people's kindness, and the other to accumulate yin virtue for his uncle and brother!" β
Rice is the best thing, low-key, but three meals a day are essential, people eat in their mouths every day, warm in their stomachs, they will naturally keep you in mind, and their good feelings are subtle.
"This is a matter of filial piety, and it is also a matter for the people, and the official should support it!"
Su Li stood up, his feet bent, and he was about to kneel, but Huang Wensheng hurriedly helped him, "Master Su, what you are doing is for the people, as a parent official, I should be grateful to you, why do you need to kneel!" β
"My lord, the villain sent Mi Jimin, in fact, he is also selfish and asks for adults!"
"Childe, but it's okay to say!"
Huang Wensheng sneered in his heart, "This rotten Confucian is in charge of the Su family, he wants to be a little vain, okay, he can give you a false position, it depends on your ......."
"Thank you, sir! The villain wants to ask for his life, encircle and suppress Yunji Mountain, and avenge his uncle and brother! Uncle and brother died for Su Li, they can't take revenge, Su Li is in vain, and he is ashamed of the ancestors of the Su family when he dies! β
Huang Wensheng: "!!"
Looking at Su Li's passionate statement, he was blinded, Yunji Mountain has five or six hundred strongmen, the mountain lord Jian Ba is strong in martial arts, it is difficult for a hundred people to get close, and the four big Kou under his command are all the masters who kill people without blinking, and if they don't come to provoke, they are already lucky, how dare they take the initiative to provoke, you Su Li wants to die, I Huang Wensheng will not accompany him, he just wants to be a Yunzhou governor quietly for a few years, and when the time is ripe, climb up one level, and be satisfied.
"Recently, the world has been uneven, there is a shortage of fast catchers in the yamen, and the official can't be the master of such a major matter as the suppression of bandits, so I have to ask ......for instructions."
"My lord! The villain just wants revenge! Since the revenge is a personal vendetta, naturally I can't bother the official family, I just want to ask the adult for approval, let the Su family bring their own people, go to Yunji Mountain to suppress bandits, in addition, please make the next public announcement to recruit the hot-blooded people of Yunzhou to join and strengthen the team! β
It turned out that Su Li wanted to send him to death, Huang Wensheng breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart was bright, "You succeeded in suppressing bandits, as a state official, I take the credit, you are dead, the Su family has no queen, and the family wealth will be returned to the public!" Since it is not in the name of the government, the strongman cannot use an excuse to attack the state capital and destroy the balance of mutual tacit understanding, and Baili is harmless! β
"Since Su Gongzi has such filial piety, the official will not stop him, but you are playing the banner of revenge, so you can't issue a document in the name of the official, you can draft a public announcement by yourself to recruit strong men, just a reminder, the people may not respond."
"Thank you, sir!"
What Su Li wants is his sentence, of course the people will not respond, the purpose of the publicity is to let the people know that Su Li is to eliminate harm for the people, affectionate and righteous! A scholar, for the sake of his family and for justice, although tens of millions of people have gone to me, the thieves of Yunji Mountain have caused many people to lose their money, lose their lives, and humiliate their wives and daughters, and they can only endure it dumbly.
"My lord, my villain, I have one last request!"
Huang Wensheng is a little big, this stunned young man, how can he come out one after another today!
Su Li took out five thousand taels of silver tickets from his sleeve and offered them with both hands.
Burst!
Huang Wensheng squirted out a mouthful of fragrant tea, "Is this stupid scholar going to bribe the official?" Too straightforward, right? Is it stupid? You don't understand ...... when you're there."
"The villain wants to buy the death row and heavy prisoners in prison! If the silver taels are not enough, you can still ......"
Huang Wensheng looked at Su Li like an idiot, but that kind of business can't be left out, anyway, in troubled times, the most important thing is prisoners.
β¦β¦
Su Li came to the prison, raised his voice, and said loudly:
"Ladies and gentlemen, in this prison, whether it is beheaded after the autumn, or distributed to the frontier, or continued to be tortured in prison, there is only one way, and that is death!"
"Since it is death, why not die as it deserves, I, Su Li, am going to Yunji Mountain to suppress bandits, and I want to recruit you as the vanguard team, those who die in battle, the family can get five hundred taels of silver, and those who can survive will be forgiven and get one hundred taels of silver."
"Whoever is willing, sign a life and death certificate here, and I will immediately send someone to your house to send a hundred taels of silver!" I will only give time for a stick of incense, please consider it! β
β¦β¦
Leaving the state capital, the cold wind constantly reminded Su Li that he must keep a cool head, he or the host, he has died once, and there can be no second chance of resurrection.
It's been half a month, and Su Li is still the nerd who reads dead books in the hearts of the people, and he is a little cute, and he dares to openly write satirical essays for the sake of the people.
Ning Sansi seemed to have lost interest in the Su family, and no longer sent people to visit or snoop.
There has been a change within the Su family, and everyone has changed from fear to awe of Su Li, and slowly developed to admiration, of course, there is still a distance from "being able to sell your life", but the change is gratifying.
This change is imperceptible, the Su family in the hearts of the people is still the Su family, and the Su family is like this.
"Hmmm! It's time to take a step forward! β
An evil smile rippled at the corner of Su Li's mouth.
(ps: The next few chapters are a little slow, but it has an impact on the follow-up plot, so, please be patient, it will be cool soon)
