Chapter 18 Lack of Kindness
This frightened Zhu Di, he thought that the entire Penglai County was already the best county government in the Ming Dynasty, but he didn't expect to encounter such a low-level thing as assassination.
"Why did they assassinate the county commander, could it be that the county commander did something to make them resentful?"
Ji Gang on the side hesitated for a long time, seeing that Zhu Di didn't mean to ask, so he asked Xu Zilin.
Xu Zilin laughed helplessly.
"It's probably because I developed Penglai County too well, but I didn't drive other counties, and they have accumulated resentment in their hearts for a long time."
Ji Gang didn't speak again.
"So how did the county order deal with this matter, you are the county commander of Penglai County, in other words, the officials of the current imperial court, they are just grass people."
When Zhu Di said this, he immediately became interested.
He still wants to know Xu Zilin's way of doing things.
I thought that he could say something that would surprise him, but he didn't expect Xu Zilin's next words to make Zhu Di a little crying and laughing.
"Distinguished guest, who am I, I am the county commander of Penglai County, in other words, I am the official of the current imperial court! They dare to attack the officials of the imperial court today, maybe they will dare to attack His Majesty in a few days! Of course I can't spare them! ”
Xu Zilin said that the head was the Tao, but Zhu Di was holding back a smile.
"So you cut them off?"
Xu Zilin shook his head again and again.
"No, no, no, they just wanted to assassinate me, but they didn't really succeed, at most it was an assassination attempt, and it was enough to send them back to their county town for criticism and education."
"Criticism... Educate? ”
Zhu Di didn't understand Xu Zilin's approach.
No matter which county it is placed in, I am afraid that it will not be so good at giving up.
Even if it doesn't hurt their lives, it will at least destroy the legs of those people, and they will never be able to move freely for the rest of their lives.
But Xu Zilin turned out to be a simple sentence of criticism and education.
"You think my punishment is too light, don't you?"
Xu Zilin looked at the surprise on Zhu Di's face, and already knew what he thought.
After all, in this era, as long as someone collides with the official, I am afraid that the entire family will be sat down.
Facing Zhu Di's eyes, Xu Zilin did not feel unfamiliar, nor did he feel unreasonable.
He just explained his thoughts to Zhu Di.
"Those people were also bewitched, and they didn't cause me harm in essence, if I directly dragged down and beheaded and killed all their family members, wouldn't I become a county magistrate that everyone wants to spurn?"
"What's more, I don't have much ambition as a person, I just hope that I can live a good life for myself and the people in Penglai County."
Xu Zilin looked at Zhu Di with a smile.
Zhu Di gradually understood what Xu Zilin meant.
"Then I have an idea that I want to ask the county order, I don't know if the county order can answer my questions."
"Tell me, if I can tell you the answer to this question, I'll say it."
Xu Zilin did not have any doubts about Zhu Di.
After all, he felt that it was naturally impossible for His Majesty Zhu Di to come to this place today.
"County order, I want to know how to deal with some people who have meritorious deeds but intend to rebel."
Xu Zilin subconsciously looked at Zhu Di with a scrutinizing gaze.
The person who can use the word rebellion has already shown that Zhu Di's true identity is not ordinary.
At this time, Xu Zilin never dared to talk nonsense to Zhu Di at will.
He sat up straight, looked at Zhu Di in front of him, and his lips squirmed several times without spitting out a word.
"You go out first, and I'll talk to the county magistrate alone."
Only then did Zhu Di turn his head and say to Ji Gang.
Ji Gang nodded, and then stood outside the door and waited.
"Actually, you don't have to be so nervous, I won't tell you, I am a child of a family, but because I don't like the competition in the family, I came out to be a businessman, and I asked you this question this time, I just hope you can give me an answer."
Zhu Di thought about it and explained to him with the reasons he thought Xu Zilin could believe.
Xu Zilin hesitated for a while, but finally nodded.
No matter what the identity of the person in front of him is, but for Xu Zilin, he has no ill will towards himself, which is enough.
Xu Zilin no longer continued to investigate, but slowly spoke.
"Let me tell you this, if the other party is really successful, then as long as he doesn't really do anything to you, or rather, you just know from others about the so-called things he wants to rebel about, believe him, ask him in person, see what state he is, basically you have the answer in your heart."
Xu Zilin said to Zhu Di.
Zhu Di slowly lowered his head.
This was true, but before he could think clearly, Xu Zilin spoke again.
"Actually, I think the emperor is really unkind."
Only then did Zhu Di look up at Xu Zilin again.
"Why did the county order say this, could it be that you have seen Your Majesty today?"
"Of course not, how could I possibly meet Your Majesty."
Xu Zilin hurriedly denied it, but then he began to explain his thoughts to Zhu Di.
"Think about it, in the eyes of outsiders, these people are all real heroes, right?"
"At the beginning, even if he had some enemies behind his back, these people would not do anything to them, but if there are more and more so-called heroes, will the first group of heroes be slowly replaced?"
Zhu Di listened to Xu Zilin's words and frowned slightly.
"What you said is not right, heroes are heroes, and no one will replace them no matter what."
Xu Zilin sneered.
"Yes, this may be what you and I think, then do you think Your Majesty will think like this today, if these so-called heroes don't give him face in front of everyone, if he hears that these heroes are secretly gathering troops and weapons? In His Majesty's heart, will he believe in these former and so-called heroes? ”
Listening to Xu Zilin's words, Zhu Di was obviously a little unhappy.
He frowned slightly, wanting to overturn the so-called truth that Xu Zilin said.
"Even though you say that, all this is just your guess, isn't it, as you just said, you have not met Your Majesty, how can you be sure that Your Majesty will do what you say?"
Xu Zilin looked at the anger on Zhu Di's face with some surprise.
It stands to reason that even if he is a child of a family, he will not be so angry because he said that the emperor is not.
Thinking about it, Xu Zilin thought that Zhu Di should not be a descendant of the royal family.
However, Xu Zilin's face was only pale, and he soon came back to his senses.
"You may not know one thing, most of the people who can sit on the throne of God are patriotic and patriotic at the beginning, but once this son sits for a long time, he gradually becomes suspicious."
