After Lin Zhongmo finished speaking, he smiled bitterly and said: "And the local tyrants in Guangdong are all the patriarchs of the big families. Without the support of the clan's strength, they can't become local tyrants. So the two are actually a group of people. ”

"This is to fight with this king!" King Chu licked his lips excitedly and said: "This king just wants to sweep away the evil and eliminate evil, and he didn't name and say who he wants to deal with, but they can't wait to jump out first, isn't this a self-confession?" ”

"Yes." Daotong nodded and said: "If ordinary people commit crimes, the government will clean it up." Only their children acted recklessly, relying on the protection of the clan, so that the government was helpless. So there is more and more fearlessness and unscrupulousness, not to mention that all the grievances in Guangzhou City are made by these people, and eighty percent of them are also there. ”

"Isn't that right?" Lao Liumei opened his eyes and smiled: "If you want to sleep, someone sent a pillow." ”

As he spoke, he asked the two: "There were a lot of lawsuits and reports received in the middle of the day yesterday, right?" ”

"Taken together, the five yamen have eliminated repetitive, family disputes, marital discord and other trivial matters, a total of 1,520 cases, most of which involve human life." Lin Zhongmo hurriedly replied.

"That's enough." Zhu Zhen said in a deep voice: "In half a day, you can receive so many reports of serious cases, which shows how many grievances the people of Yangcheng have suffered in the past!" ”

"But today's officials who detained and summoned the defendants have returned empty-handed." Dao Tong sighed and said, "They said that those suspects had already received the news and hid in their own clan's village. ”

"The people here in Guangdong, because the government is weak, have to rely on their own clan to protect themselves. It is that most of the people live in a big village, the village has built a wall, and some have built watchtowers, and even dug a trench, and there are Zhuang Ding to guard day and night, and do not let outsiders in. Lin Zhongmo explained.

"Oh, it's the same as the walled tulou over there in Fujian." The sixth said suddenly.

"There are thousands of men in their clan at every turn, and the most is even tens of thousands, and there are only a few officials in total, even if they let them in, they don't dare to go in and take people." Dao Tong smiled bitterly: "No one collected the corpse when they died inside." ”

"No wonder the local tyrants in Guangdong are so arrogant, it turns out that the confidence is here." Zhu Zhen smiled disappreliantly: "It's a pity that the times have changed, and it is purely beyond our power to rely on a mere village to confront the imperial court." ”

"When you go back, classify those cases according to clans, and draw up a list of suspects to be arrested in each family." Saying that, he commanded in a deep voice: "Then come to the door to arrest people in person!" ”

"Yes." The two hurriedly responded in a deep voice. Zhu Zhen glanced at Dao Tongdao again: "But you are a little county magistrate, it is inevitable that people will not pay attention to it." ”

"Yes." Dao Tong smiled bitterly, feeling hurt by 100,000 points.

"In this way, isn't there a vacancy in the envoy, and this king will order you to temporarily serve as the envoy!" I heard the king of Chu say again.

"The subordinate obeys!" Dao Tongden didn't feel hurt anymore, although it was only acting, but it was also a provincial platform!

"According to the judge's yamen, isn't there a soldier? Tomorrow, you will go door-to-door to arrest people, and your attitude must be tough," King Chu raised his voice and said:

"Tell them that you are on the orders of the Qincha, and whoever dares to resist arrest will rebel!"

"Yes!" Dao Tong responded excitedly, and asked, "And then?" ”

"Then you go to the next one." Zhu Zhen said and came up with another idea: "Oh yes, before leaving, you can use red paint to draw a big circle on the wall of his house, and write a big ...... in it Reverse word! ”

In this way, they were rejected, and the family drew a circle, wrote an anti-character, and labeled them all as rebels. Tell them that now their whole family is guilty! ”

"And then?" Dao Tong asked again. It's not that he likes to break the casserole and ask to the end, but His Royal Highness the King of Chu's tricks are always so evil, and he really has no bottom in his heart if he doesn't ask clearly.

"Then, I will let Yongjiahou exterminate them." Zhu Zhen didn't hide it, he never played conspiracy, he always played conspiracy, and he was not afraid that the other party would know about it.

"Yongjiahou is in a gang with them...... Lin Zhongmo said in surprise.

"Just ask him if he listens," Zhu Zhen waved his hand domineeringly: "If you don't listen to him, it's also a rebellion!" ”

"Good guy......" Lin Dao and the two gasped together, His Royal Highness really likes to detain people for rebellion.

"Don't they like to rebel at every turn?" I saw the sixth man smile and said: "Isn't this a coincidence, this king likes to quell the rebellion." It's 'pointy ass sitting on a stone mortar - right on the number'. Let's see if it's their rebellion major, or this king's counterinsurgency specialty! ”

"Hey......" said to the two of them, what a messy quip to say. But when they met such a master who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, they really couldn't laugh.

~~

After coming out of the pavilion, Lin Zhongmo first hugged his fists and said: "Congratulations to Dao Zhentai, from the head of a county to a provincial platform, it is really a myth of officialdom." ”

"Uncle Fang must not make fun of the lower official, this is just that His Royal Highness temporarily added a title to the lower official in order to make it convenient to buckle the big hat, and he can't do it." Dao Tong made a big face and hurriedly waved his hand to dodge.

"Hey, as long as you do a good job, remove the word 'signature', it's not a matter of His Highness's words?" Lin Zhongmo smiled: "Of course, this errand must be done well. ”

Saying that, he had some heads: "This is a declaration of war with the local tyrants in Guangzhou, if you don't get it right, you will be doomed." ”

"Hehe, Uncle Fang rest assured, if you change someone else, you will definitely have to think twice. But Dao Tong is already a person who has died once, and my life is given by His Royal Highness, but if there is a trace of hesitation, I am sorry for my conscience. ”

"That's right." Lin Zhongmo nodded and said, "We can only go one way to the dark with His Highness, but can the situation in Guangdong really be as He Highness wishes to fight without breaking?" ”

Dao Tong smiled and said: "I have confidence in His Highness, since he said that it is okay, it will be fine." ”

"Alas, Your Highness has never seen the skill of those Guangdong tyrants in rebelling and making trouble. They either want to be emperors, or under the banner of self-preservation, they declare overnight that they will no longer obey the government, and they will make you uncomfortable to death. Lin Zhongmo was not as optimistic as him, and said with a sad face:

"What's even more troublesome is that His Royal Highness still has to give Yongjiahou the hat of rebellion, that Zhu Liangzu has 100,000 troops in his hands to conquer the south, and 30,000 troops stationed in Guangdong. Seeing that he is about to fight Yunnan, who can move him at this time? ”

"Alas, I'm really afraid that our Highness will take it for granted, and it will be out of control...... he said with a long sigh: "When the time comes, Guangdong will be in chaos, which will affect the overall situation, and the emperor will not necessarily protect anyone." ”

"Of course it's His Royal Highness Bao, do you still need to ask?" The tone of the voice of the same voice raised slightly.

"Yes." Lin Zhongmo hurriedly nodded, and the second half of the sentence said, "Anyway, no matter how big the King of Chu is, it won't be fine, it's a big deal to pat his ass and leave, and we have to take the blame." I didn't dare to say it.

"Uncle Fang rest assured," Dao Tong reassured him: "Although His Royal Highness is young, he has been in charge of himself for many years, what wind and waves have he not seen?" He has done everything after careful consideration, and since he dares to do so, he has the confidence to ensure that Guangdong will not be chaotic. ”

"Well, I hope so." Lin Zhongmo couldn't count the first few times he sighed. He's really worried......
