334 Mixing the waters
Song Yichun and Li Cifu had just arrived at the scene, and Song Yichun, the county magistrate, was the head of a county, so he attached great importance to the situation in front of him.
Just like he told Yang Zhutou, some people are short-sighted, and they only know that a vigorous scene can get the attention of the top and change the current situation in Mingzhou.
But what's the trouble?
How big is the right fuss?
Who is going to make trouble?
There's a lot of learning here.
Rebellion is a rebellion against the court, and the same is true for rebellion.
Your people say that the officials are forcing the people to rebel in this matter, and the people are just rebelling for a mouthful of food, but does the court believe it? Or do the big families in the capital care?
They don't care about all of them, at least half of them don't have this kind of heart.
After all, this Zhumen wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road, which is never an empty word.
If the imperial court just didn't care, and just hastily disposed of the princess Zhaoming who couldn't manage the fiefdom well, it would be fine, but what if this matter was not only the princess's reason, but involved a struggle at the top?
That's right, Song Yichun's vision is different from ordinary people, although he has not been able to be promoted because of his honest and rigid style, but he has never neglected to observe the situation between the DPRK and China.
In fact, the situation in the DPRK and China seems to be very far away from his small magistrate, but the slightest movement at the top may have a great impact on these places.
In particular, he is as concerned about people's livelihood as Li Cifu.
Therefore, at the beginning of the year, he had already inquired about the news of the capital through various methods, and knew that there was a faint three-legged trend in the court, among which Princess Zhaoming had an excellent momentum, and she jumped directly from the title princess to the princess who protected the country.
If she can go one step further, it will be the princess of Zhenguo who is the first assistant of the super crown prince, and it is no longer a "expensive" word.
And how did this princess get promoted?
Apparently it was the snowstorm in the Northland.
Although he Song Yichun has never been to the north as an official, he also knows the terrible snow disaster in the north.
The people were displaced, countless people froze to death and frostbite, and even the entire farming and merchants in the north had to be shut down, or even directly broken.
But such a heavy snowfall that has been rare for many years has been reversed in the hands of this princess, not only did not cause the suspension of farming and merchants in the north, but helped the people at the smallest cost, repaired the houses, and even exterminated the bandits.
He knew that Li Cifu was a capable minister for the country and the people, and he could indeed get a lot of benefits from having him follow that princess......
It may be that whether the minister can display his talents, and how far he can display his talents, depends on the lord above.
Since ancient times, there have been few examples of such capable ministers being dragged down by the monarch, so that they have powerless ambitions and are difficult to reward?
Therefore, Song Yichun subjectively believes that it is true that this legendary thief princess neglected the fief and ignored the people of the fiefdom, but she is all unreasonable, but it is difficult to say.
Originally, he was still doubting the accuracy of his guesses, after all, some talented lords are also violent and like to do things according to their likes and dislikes.
To this day, he met Li Cifu in Qingquan.
That's right, the moment he saw Li Cifu and his party, his heart was settled.
Before, he still had a relatively neutral attitude towards the Green Forest Army, although he didn't want them to entrap the people under his rule, but he would not be ruthless to them.
This person is arrested, that is, sent out of their county, so that people don't come again.
But now it's different, since he knows that the people above are paying attention to their Mingzhou, then he must not let the people of Qingquan County get these fishy.
Therefore, he came out in a hurry to appease the people under his rule, and tried his best to make them not want to go with the Green Forest Army.
Who knew that in his impression, these were just the Green Forest Army formed by mountain bandits and rebellious people, but they had an unexpected talent in winning over the people.
Especially the trick of sending charcoal in the snow, it really made him, a poor county commander, feel tricky.
He was thinking about how he could stop the people from saving people and put the so-called "Lin Zhuangshi" in prison, when he saw Li Cifu's granddaughter-in-law, the girl who always spoke amazingly, came to him.
What did she say?
More than 30 people petitioned to let go of the horse?
Can you catch it back if you put it?
What kind of charter is this?
Are she sure she's not talking nonsense?
You must know that they have been chasing this person for several days, and today they have wasted all their strength, so they took him here.
"Miss Liu, this ......"
Seeing that Song Yichun looked at Feng Xi with some embarrassment, obviously wanting to refuse, Li Cifu on the side hurriedly said:
"Lord Song, what Xi'er said is right, there are more than 30 people petitioning for this strong man right now, if we don't let him go, wouldn't we not listen to the people's wishes?"
"But ......"
Song Yichun also wants to listen to the people's wishes, but isn't it a little strange to listen to this.
People hope that they will completely let this Lin Zhuang go away.
But the people obviously didn't hear the trap in Feng Xi's words, and only noticed that Feng Xi and Li Cifu said that Song Yichun let Lin Zhuangshi go.
Some people may also understand this, but Yang Zhutou and the others have been chasing Lin Zhuangshi's embarrassed figure for the past few days, have they seen less?
Still let people go?
It's a question of whether this person can be caught or not if he is released.
So they immediately coaxed:
"Yes, my lord, Lin Zhuangshi is kind, even this girl and the old man speak for him, if you are not accommodating, you will ......"
Someone opened his mouth, and naturally someone agreed, and even the old lady and others who knelt on the ground and begged turned to kneel in front of Song Yichun.
Obviously, after Yang Zhutou, Lord Song Yichun and Song were also framed by this matter, and it was the people on his side who took the initiative to fight.
This makes him go where to reason.
In the end, Song Yichun could only look at Feng Xi, and then at Li Cifu, who was nodding to him, and reluctantly responded:
"Since Xiao Lao and Miss Xi have interceded for this strong man, and the people have also said so, then this county will let him go today."
Hearing Song Yichun's words, the faces of the onlookers suddenly appeared with joy, especially Li Wu and others, who looked at Song Yichun and Feng Xi and others differently.
One horse at a time, at least to prove that their petition is valid, and not a stone in the sea.
However, Li Wu and the others were happy, and Song Yichun also got the blue eyes of the people, but Lin Zhuangshi, who had been escorted by the servants, changed his face, and his tone was slightly embarrassed:
"Lord County Commander, do you really want to let the grass people go?"
In his opinion, people like Song Yichun should not make such a foolish choice, after all, he definitely doesn't want the people under his rule to be bewitched by him.
The previous attitude of Yang Zhutou and others towards him also fully proved this.
But now?
Are you really going to let him go?
So how else did he make the people of Qingquan County disgusted with the Song County Order, so as to successfully reverse the situation that the Green Forest Army was not valued in Qingquan County?
Thinking of this, he immediately made a look of death and said:
"Lord Song, don't hide it, the grass people are here to recruit talents for the Green Forest Army, you let me go but you can't let me go second, we have to face each other sooner or later, right?"
