Chapter 71: Responding to Change
On the way to the prefect's yamen, Su Xuan had already asked Xu Ersian about what was going on.
It turned out that there were bandits last night, and although they didn't kill anyone, they robbed a lot of people and burned down many people's houses.
In front of the prefect's yamen, people were surrounded by people, and many people were shouting words such as "dog official come out" and "give us an explanation".
Wang Chi was anxious to turn around, while insulting Wang Sanqian for being insidious, while muttering about why Su Xuan hadn't arrived.
When he saw Su Xuan appear in front of him, it was like seeing a great savior, and he stepped forward and grabbed Su Xuan's hands.
"Su Tongzhi, Master Su, this official is looking forward to the stars and the moon, and he has finally looked forward to you!" Wang Chi's expression was about to cry.
"Don't worry, sir, let's sit down and talk." Su Xuan pulled Wang Chi and sat down.
"You say, Wang Sanqian's granaries have been burned down, why have two or three days passed, and his people have not dispersed? Coming out again?" Wang Chi asked urgently.
Su Xuan had also been thinking about this question, and he asked Xu Ershou, who was standing aside, "If you are a bandit and your granary has been burned, what other reason can you not leave?"
"What other reason can there be, the granary hasn't burned down, and there is still food." Xu Ersan replied casually.
The question that Su Xuan hadn't figured out all this time suddenly became clear.
"My lord, I didn't burn the granary, but Liu Ru. It is possible that he moved the grain away, and their food is still there, so they didn't disperse." Su Xuan said.
"This Liu is like this, a good girl cheats! But now is not the time to dwell on these, so many people at the door are crying and shouting for the official to give an explanation, Ben
As a parent official in Shuzhou, the official can't hide from people all the time, right?" Wang Chi's face was full of anxiety.
He has only been the master of Qingtian for a few days, and his weak emotions have not dissipated, and his personality is about to collapse so soon?
At this time, someone came in to report the situation.
"Lord Futai, two days ago, someone was selling grain privately in the city, and the quantity was very large. And the one who was robbed last night seems to be the one who bought the grain!"
As soon as he heard this, Su Xuan also understood.
"Their grain was really not burned, and Wang Sanqian secretly sold the grain to the people in the city and robbed it back. Not only did he recover his losses, but he also took the trap of Lord Futai by the way." Su Xuan said.
"Wang Sanqian, this miscellaneous! Vile! Shameless! My sons are dead, and I still don't go to check on the women, and I'm still calculating me!"
Wang Chi scolded a few words, then quickly grabbed Su Xuan's hand and said anxiously, "My Lord Su, hurry up and think of a way for this official!"
"My lord, the lower official has an idea, but I am not completely sure that my lord can land safely, so I can only gamble." Su Xuan said.
This matter was beyond Su Xuan's expectations, and he thought about it carefully.
The strategy must have been conceived by Liu Ru, there is no doubt about it. Wang Sanqian would never have such a mind.
Liu Ruye's behavior made him unpredictable, burned the granary for a while, and killed Wang Yuan, causing a major conflict between the two sides; After a while, he sold grain in private, and then robbed the grain, so that Wang Chi could not come to the stage.
Who the hell is he helping?
Thinking about it, Su Xuan suddenly had an idea.
Liu Ru doesn't just want to pit Wang Chi alone, his move is also a pit with Wang Sanqian!
"Su Tongzhi, what time is this?
Wait, don't sell it!"
"My lord went to meet people outside the yamen and sang a song of guilt. The rest of the things will be arranged by the lower officials, and the lower officials will definitely try their best to help the adults tide over the difficulties!"
"What is the guilt of petition?"
"That's ......"
After Su Xuan finished talking to Wang Chi, he beckoned to Xu Ershou.
"My lord, what do you command?"
"Go and find the families of the dead......
"Humble Command!"
There are more and more people outside the yamen in uniform, and the noise is getting louder and louder.
Why, people
Why is there such a great indignation? Because Wang Chi announced a few days ago that the scourge of bandits has been swept away. But last night, thousands of bandits appeared and robbed them of the grain they had just bought.
Where is this Wang Chi going to suppress bandits?
He's clearly selling his reputation!
The crowd was noisy, and the door finally opened.
I saw Wang Chi coming out of it, he was shirtless, holding a tray in his hand, and his official uniform and hat were neatly placed on it.
"Governor Wang, we pooled the money to help you suppress the thief, I think you obviously swallowed this silver privately!"
"Selling fame and fame is not a thing!"
"Whew!"
……
"Fellow villagers, this official suppressed the thieves a few days ago, and it was indeed a complete victory! The official really didn't expect that the bandits who escaped by luck would not give up and would make a comeback so quickly! This official just found out after an investigation that the leader of the bandits was actually Wang Sanqian! It was too late to know the news!
This official never thought that I tried my best to suppress the thief, but the biggest thief was hidden by everyone's side! I, Wang Chi, am not effective, I am ashamed of my fellow villagers and elders, and I am not worthy of being the prefect!
The Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, because
It is a capital offense to cause my negligence to cause the villagers to suffer huge losses! I will now submit a petition to the imperial court, how to sentence and how to punish, and ask the imperial court to convict all of them, so that the court can return justice to everyone!"
Wang Chi burst into tears when he spoke, and finally knelt down in public.
Those who were still abusing Wang Chi shut up all of a sudden.
Wang Chi's words exploded like a thunderbolt.
Wang Sanqian is actually the leader of thieves!
The one who took the lead in making trouble today was actually the gentry who colluded with Wang Sanqian. This matter is naturally Liu Ruye's idea.
Now that Wang Chi threw out these words, none of them dared to refute the truth, and they were soaked with cold sweat.
The crowd gradually began to get noisy.
At this time, an old woman, supported by a little girl, walked up to Wang Chi.
"Lord Wang, you are the Lord of the Blue Sky, Shuzhou can't live without you! My baby died in the battle to suppress thieves, and he is too old to support the children in his family. If it weren't for the pension sent by Lord Wang himself, the old man and my girl would have starved to death soon!"
"Lord Wang, the man of my family died on the front line, and your lord not only sent a pension, but also arranged a job for the concubine. The kindness of the adults cannot be repaid by the concubine!" Another young woman walked up to Wang Chi, knelt down and said.
"My lord, although the villain's leg was lost on the battlefield, the villain doesn't blame the adult. Thanks to you, my family was able to eat a full meal. The villain only hates himself for being useless, and he has not been able to kill the enemy bravely, and he will not be able to continue to follow the adults to the battlefield to kill the enemy in the future. The adult was framed by the female cadre, I am afraid that the official body is not guaranteed, and the villain is incompetent, only
I can lead the whole family to kowtow to the adults to see them off!"
