Gao Hanwen didn't know how he returned home, and it wasn't until he really understood what it meant to be ruthless in officialdom and sinister in the sea!

As early as before coming to Zhejiang to take up his job, the teacher Yan Shifan gave more instructions, but Gao Hanwen at that time did not take it to heart, and when he heard exactly what happened, he couldn't help but feel endless regret in his heart.

On the other side, Shen Yun's room was still brightly lit.

I saw him sitting next to the bronze mirror, looking at himself reflected in the mirror, and couldn't help but feel disgusted.

"Shen Yun, Shen Yun, Lord Gao, such a noble character and quite talented young man will be destroyed by your hands tonight! You're such a, no wonder you were sold to the Qinglou before......"

"Maybe your parents were killed by you."

After Shen Yun finished speaking, she took off the hairpin on her head, looked at herself in the mirror, smiled miserably, and then aimed the hairpin at her neck and stabbed it.

As soon as the hairpin touched the skin, there was a pain in the neck, and a trace of blood came out, and Shen Yun didn't have the courage to stab it again, only to hear a 'snap', the hairpin fell to the ground, Shen Yun covered her face and cried in a low voice.

……

Early the next morning, Gao Hanwen took a few soldiers to measure the fields, at this time he looked haggard, his dark circles were extremely heavy, and he didn't seem to have slept all night.

"Master Gao, you didn't rest well last night, so let us do such a trivial matter as measuring the fields."

The soldiers who followed on the side, seeing that Gao Hanwen was so tired, couldn't help but open their mouths to comfort.

"It's okay, it's just that last night I sorted out the acres of land that I cleared overnight, and I slept late, so I didn't get in the way." Gao Hanwen rode on the white horse and responded with a smile.

"Where are we going today?"

"Lord Yugao, let's go to Taoyuan Village today."

"Hmm." Gao Hanwen nodded and said no more.

Soon, the team arrived at Taoyuan Village, and before they could measure, they were surrounded by angry villagers, all of whom were armed with hoes or kitchen knives.

"Folks, that's them, don't let them measure the fields, they want to take away our land!" An angry voice rang out from the crowd.

"Yes, don't let them measure!"

"I heard that they want to use this to change rice to mulberry, and they want to buy our land at a low price."

"If you don't let us grow food, you won't give us any way to live, and drive them away!"

"yes, get rid of them!"

Seeing that the crowd was becoming more and more agitated, the soldiers desperately protected Gao Hanwen in the center, pulled out the long knife at their waists and confronted the villagers: "What, do you want to rebel? ”

Gao Hanwen has always been very generous to his subordinates, unlike other officials, who look at people with his nostrils and put on a condescending face to his subordinates. He is very humble and courteous in dealing with people, plus he should have a lot of rewards, and his work is also very easy, and he is very popular with soldiers.

Seeing the soldier draw his long knife and threaten, the crowd took a slight step back.

"What are you afraid of, there are only four or five of them, and there are more than two hundred of us."

"Yes, don't be afraid, if you want to take our land, fight with them!"

"Fight!"

"Lord Gao, you go quickly, go to the Governor's Mansion to move the rescue soldiers!" Seeing that the situation had become uncontrollable, several soldiers said in a deep voice after cutting down a villager who rushed to the front.

"No, presumably these villagers must have been bewitched by someone, wait for the official to go down and explain it to them." Gao Hanwen said as he got off his horse.

"They have weapons in their hands, they are no ordinary villagers anymore, they are mobs!"

"Master Gao, hurry up, don't disappoint us and others!"

Seeing their companions being cut down, the crowd became more and more angry, and they grabbed their weapons and slaughtered the soldiers.

Seeing this, Gao Hanwen no longer hesitated, bit his lip and turned over on the horse, and whipped him fiercely with a horsewhip: "Drive!" ”

The white horse was in pain, and instantly ran out more than ten meters, Gao Hanwen looked back, and several soldiers had been overwhelmed by the angry villagers.

……

In the Governor's Mansion of Zhejiang, when everyone heard the news brought back by Gao Hanwen, they all looked stunned.

"What? What do you say? There was a riot in Taoyuan Village, and the soldiers were killed! ”

In the hall, Hu Zongxian sat at the top, looked at the embarrassed Gao Hanwen, and couldn't help frowning.

"Drink your saliva first and speak slowly." Zheng Michang, who was on the side, said and handed the teacup to Gao Hanwen.

Gao Hanwen didn't pick it up, still knelt on the ground, and repeated the ins and outs of the whole thing.

"You mean, you and the soldiers just walked to Taoyuan Village and didn't start measuring, and the villagers rushed out with hoes and kitchen knives?" Hu Zongxian picked up the teacup, took a sip, and asked.

"Yes." Gao Hanwen nodded and responded.

"And they kept shouting that we should not let us measure, saying that we were under the guise of changing rice to mulberry in order to annex their land!" Gao Hanwen said, still having palpitations.

"Hmph, that's unreasonable! Changing rice to mulberry is a national policy, and these people must have been bewitched by thieves before they dared to openly oppose the national policy and asked to send troops to suppress it. After listening to Gao Hanwen's description, He Maocai was furious and asked for his life to Hu Zongxian, who was sitting at the top.

"Well, in this case, troops should be sent forward, so let's send Ma Ning away! He was the prefect of Hangzhou, so he was more familiar with that place. ”

Hearing that Hu Zongxian had finally decided on the candidate, He Maocai's eyes flashed with a trace of resentment, and no one present knew that Ma Ningyuan, the prefect of Hangzhou, was his student of Hu Zongxian.

"Call me Ma Ningyuan, the prefect of Hangzhou!" Hu Zongxian instructed his subordinates on the side.

"Yes."

Not long after the guards reported, Ma Ningyuan, the prefect of Hangzhou, hurried over.

As soon as he entered the hall, looking at the solemn expressions of the people, Ma Ningyuan couldn't help but be a little puzzled, and then looked at Hu Zongxian, who was sitting at the top, and asked out loud: "Teacher, what's wrong?" ”

Hu Zongxian didn't bother with Ma Ningyuan's title, but said lightly: "There was a riot in Taoyuan Village, and the villagers killed the soldiers!" You and Master Gao will lead the troops on a trip. ”

"Yes." Ma Ningyuan received the order, and then bowed away, leaving with the embarrassed Gao Hanwen.

When the two left, Zheng Michang's eyes swept to the corner of the hall and said coldly: "There was a riot in Taoyuan Village, could it be that some people were obstructing behind their backs?" ”

Tan Lun, who was sitting in the corner, couldn't help but be furious after hearing the sarcasm in Zheng Michang's words, and suddenly got up from his seat.

"What do you mean by that?"

"It's not interesting, it's just reasonable suspicion, it's all good before, why did such a big thing happen all of a sudden? I think it must be you Qingliu who are making trouble behind the scenes, trying to prevent the implementation of the policy of changing rice to mulberry! ”

Facing Tan Lun's resentful gaze, Zheng Michang was not stunned at all, and then replied.

"Although we oppose the implementation of changing rice to mulberry, we will never use this kind of subordinate method!" Tan Lun swore in response.

"Hmph, those villagers must have been instigated by your people!" Seeing Tan Lun retort loudly, He Maocai on the side also responded.

"I'm sorry, what bullshit and clear streams, they are all traitors who bring disaster to the country and the people! Say the most beautiful things and do the dirtiest things. Zheng Michang was so angry that he didn't care about any etiquette, so he scolded.
