Chapter 45: Resignation with a Seal
An earth-shattering anecdote spread throughout Yongshun County in just one day.
"Huang County Cheng has resigned!"
Everyone who heard the news was shocked and their scalps tingled and expressed disbelief.
There are even people who are cautious by nature and deliberately keep their distance from the spreaders of these news, so as not to be implicated after the government refutes the rumors.
If this is a rumor, it does carry it enough.
Back then, in order to help him get the position of the county leader, the Huang family spent many generations of time before he slowly accumulated favor and power.
And Huang Xiancheng has not disappointed the family over the years, and he alone has ensured the smooth sailing of the entire family business.
The investment of that year has already been earned back tenfold.
Huang Sanye is definitely an undoubted pillar of talent among the younger generation of the Huang family.
When Huang Sanye carried the expectations and efforts of the whole family, it also became a good story.
Rural people may not have such a hot literati feeling, but this kind of hard work and finally become a talent story can always be spread the widest, and can be used as a model story for educating children.
This also provided him with a lot of popular support at the beginning of Huang Xiancheng's tenure.
It can be said that the position of this county is definitely the lifeblood of the entire Huang family.
Without the position of county leader, the Huang family will immediately fall from the top scholars in Yongshun County.
In this case, even if Huang Xiancheng really has the heart of returning to his hometown, he will inevitably not be able to pass the family level.
So, why did he suddenly resign without warning?
I don't know how many people hurried to the Huang family's old house to spy on Huang Xiancheng's true thoughts in the name of visiting.
The people who can rush to the Huang Mansion are all extremely shrewd people, and they can naturally perceive that Huang Xiancheng will step down this time, and there must be a force secretly fueling the trouble, so that Huang Xiancheng is powerless to resist, so it is necessary to understand the changes in the power structure of Yongshun County as soon as possible.
In the past few days, there has been an endless stream of guests in the Huang Mansion, and the Huang family has only one statement for these old friends and relatives who came to visit, "The lowly businessmen enter and leave the county government at will, resulting in the loss of the majesty of the official mansion." ”
"The dignified court officials are willing to be in the company of the peddlers' pawns, which is really self-degenerating."
"My generation of scholars, I don't want to be a colleague of such people, so I can only resign from my official position, and I can't see it."
This statement sounds plausible, and it fits well with the idea that some readers are self-conscious. Only those who really know Huang Xiancheng will never pay attention to such a non-refutable statement.
On the contrary, in the restaurants, teahouses and ordinary alleys in the county, all kinds of treacherous conspiracy theories have been heard.
Some people say that Wang Xiancheng completely overthrew Huang Xiancheng by donating money to repair roads, so that Huang Xiancheng no longer has any prestige in the county government, and there is no longer a day to raise his head in the officialdom that attaches importance to human favor and face, so he was forced to resign and leave.
Some people even said that Huang Xiancheng was Zhao Dutou, a henchman of Wang County's order, and the third watch forced him to resign in the middle of the night with a steel knife and neck, and if he didn't obey, he would be immediately rejected.
All this quickly spread throughout Yongshun County, and it also became the hottest conversation among the county residents after tea and dinner.
The atmosphere in the entire county town is a little weird.
Just when those steady people were still defending this matter, they spontaneously helped Huang Xiancheng maintain stability, and secretly thought that Huang Xiancheng was just talking about it.
Huang Xiancheng directly hung the official seal on the beam of the county government's house!
A full official uniform, plus all the waist cards and documents, were scattered and piled up in the public house, and they were abandoned by Huang County.
Then alone, dressed in plain clothes, with his head held high, he left the county government where he had been powerful for many years.
There was not even a person around to see him off, which was both cold and arrogant.
After years of power, he does not fight with vulgar things, but also for family affairs, and his sleeves are given a clean air.
This is what the sour students who were kept in the dark later commented on him.
When Wang Xianling repeatedly confirmed the news, he was also confused for a while.
The resignation of the official seal is the style of the ancient famous people, and there is no fraud at all.
Again, there is no room for remorse.
He looked at Ye Lao with the same expression with a look of extreme surprise, and his heart was shocked beyond words.
Both of them knew something about Huang Xiancheng, and they had already seen through this person's careful thoughts.
Huang Xiancheng has a deep scheming, and he will also use some small means to obstruct the road construction plan, and they are also wary of this.
Now Huang Xiancheng directly resigned, without any foreshadowing, and without any preparation for the aftermath, which is almost no different from giving up his life for him.
Dare to give everything and do whatever it takes to fight for your life, that's really incredible!
Wang Xianling's face twitched, and he couldn't understand why he had suddenly reached such a point.
If you don't agree to donate money to build roads, then protest!
As Huang Xiancheng, as long as he speaks, he will inevitably be taken seriously.
Even if the protest is fruitless, you can go to the government to ask for justice.
Why did you omit these processes and go straight to the extreme, without the slightest warning, and directly force both sides into a corner.
Ye Lao also frowned, and Chen Ping almost scratched his scalp.
As soon as this incident came out, it was not just related to the personal grievances of the county order and the county prince.
It will also seriously affect all official duties, including road construction.
Although these days, Wang Xianling has raised nearly half of the money and grain for road construction from the merchants.
With these money and grain, not only the road from the county seat to Qingsong Town will inevitably be completed on time.
Even the official roads that run through the entire county are about to start, and Yongshun County will extend in all directions, changing the closure of the past.
However, the premise of all these prospects is that the basic stability can be maintained within the county government and that the work of these people can be carried out in an orderly manner.
After all, whether it is repairing roads or collecting taxes, it is all necessary for the entire county government to maintain the most basic unity of mind.
If there is a split within the county government, then don't do anything.
Moreover, the county is also an important official, and it is difficult to cultivate a new one in a short period of time, let alone let this new county leader be able to handle all affairs without delay.
Realizing the ruthlessness of Huang Xiancheng's move, Wang Xianling immediately forced himself to calm down.
He knew very well that if he did not handle this matter well, he would not only fail the expectations of the people, but also break his promise to the merchants, and even let the months of hard work of many officials and laborers be burned.
Not only could the road not be built, but his career was estimated to have come to an end.
I saw Wang Xianling panting like a cow, with red eyes.
instructed Zhao Jin: "Immediately find out to me what the hell Huang Laosan is doing, and who is behind it!" ”
"I don't believe he dares to be so ruthless, this doesn't seem like something he can do at all!"
But looking at the entire Yongshun County, there are a few people who are qualified to instigate and coerce Huang Xiancheng to make such a sacrifice.
Ye Lao and Chen Ping quietly glanced at each other, and both of them saw strong doubts in each other's eyes.
There must be demons when things go wrong, and now it's not just things that go wrong, but almost impermanent.
Whether it was Huang Xiancheng or Huang Liuye's measures, they greatly surprised them.
Generally speaking, the more abnormal it is, the more dangerous it is!
A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.
In a hurry, should we put down the matter of donating to build roads=.
Just when an old man and a young man were making eye contact.
seemed to be aware of the abnormality of the atmosphere, Wang Xianling directly said: "The matter of donating to build the road cannot be slowed down at all!" ”
"If you didn't take this road at the beginning, it would be fine, and after months of intensive planning, stopping now will hurt the money and the people, and it will inevitably provoke ridicule and dissatisfaction from the people."
"In that case, the entire county government will be mourned, and something big will happen!"
Wang Xianling has spent many years of energy and time on the renovation of the road.
Now it's hard to find a clear way, not to mention that Huang Xiancheng is in the way.
Even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of him, Wang Xian Ling can't retreat, and he must break through.
Listening to Wang County's words, Ye Lao was even more worried.
Renovating the road is indeed a good deed, and it can indeed completely and permanently improve the plight of Yongshun County.
But at least you have to find out what kind of demon Huang Xiancheng is doing.
In order to prevent unknown risks in the future.
However, this cannot be said bluntly, after all, the current Wang County Order is so angry that he has lost his former calmness and sanity.
Chen Ping quietly followed Zhao Jin's footsteps and came outside the county office.
Although Zhao Jin is the head of the county government, he is in charge of the arrest of robbers in Yongshun County.
But he had no experience in this situation.
It's not that Zhao Jin's ability is problematic, but this matter is beyond the norm.
