Chapter 289: Fang Clan
Pingyang County's face couldn't help but change when he heard this, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
Of course, he knew what Fang Hongjian was talking about.
It is nothing more than the recent gathering of displaced people along Cuiping Mountain and the coast of Luoshui.
It's not really a big deal.
Although the displaced people gathered temporarily, they were not permanent.
Besides, Cuiping Mountain and the banks of Luoshui are all barren meadows, not to mention crops, and there are not even wattles to burn as firewood.
The purpose of the Fang family to do this, he also knew that it was nothing more than two points.
One is to put pressure on the imperial court.
He vaguely seemed to have heard that when the emperor returned to Beijing, the patriarch of the Fang family and the Confucian Qingliu wanted to see the rumored mountain and river seal obtained by the emperor on this trip.
But the emperor didn't give face, and he didn't even say much, so he put these old men aside.
This naturally made the Fang family and other wealthy families in Beijing unhappy.
In addition, he heard that the pressure on the imperial family was also to force the imperial court to bow its head and divide more power.
At the same time, he also coveted the so-called Jiahe in the hands of the emperor.
Although he was not involved in it, these things are no secret in Beijing.
Second, the Fang family just wants to say that our family's land is barren, and it can't be used by you untouchables if it's empty.
However, the Fang family itself did not drive out the displaced people, and even heard that the Fang family also planned to give porridge to those displaced people, so as to attract the able-bodied laborers among those displaced people.
But because other wealthy families did not allow them to gather these displaced people before the court bowed their heads, they gave up.
On the other hand, the purpose of calling him here today is needless to say, that is, to let him Pingyang County drive out those displaced people in the name of the imperial court.
But Pingyang County is also in trouble.
He is not stupid, he naturally knows who arranged those displaced people who were placed there, isn't it the people of the imperial court?
Moreover, Liu Muzhi is still a close confidant of the emperor.
It's not good to offend the Fang family, is it good to offend the emperor?
"Hey, it's hard to be an official in Gyeonggi!"
Pingyang County sighed secretly in his heart.
"I heard that the Pingyang Ling before me was directly cut off by Li Cunxiao because he was in trouble with the Cui family.
I sat on this thousand-stone official, I thought it was a good thing, but who knew that this ass hadn't been hot yet......"
Although he said that he was already a Qianshi official, after all, although the Pingyang Order was only a county order, Pingyang County was a large county in Gyeonggi, and the rank was naturally a cut above the county orders of other prefectures and counties.
As for Fang Hongji, if he really wants to say it, he is just a 600-stone Lang official.
But he had no sense of superiority in front of Fang Hongji.
Because it is very simple, his Pingyang Order is not so much an official of the imperial court, but an official of the Fang family.
Because Pingyang County is basically the Fang family.
He was born in a humble family, and he was able to embark on a career and sit on this thousand-stone official, which also started with the recommendation of the Fang family.
If the Fang family wants to say that if he doesn't let him be this official, he will have to get out of the house tomorrow.
For the humble scholars, betraying the benefactor has no place in this world.
"What, is Pingyang County in trouble?"
Just as he hesitated, a member of the Fang family asked again.
"Ah, no, no, no. ”
Pingyang County hurriedly smiled and said: "What are the students trying to do, so as not to cause chaos, after all, there are tens of thousands of displaced people, and there are less than 100 servants in the student county, if there is disharmony, the students themselves are not sorry."
I'm afraid that the county elders will be harmed!"
"Pingyang County can have this benevolent thought, very kind!"
Fang Ruiyao, who had been half-squinting, finally spoke, his tone was slow and methodical, and each sentence dragged an unfinished note, feeling like he was reading a sage book.
Immediately, the old eyes looked at Pingyang Ling slightly, "It's just that Pingyang County is afraid that it is inevitable that a wise man will have a thousand worries, but he will make a mistake." ”
Although Pingyang County was very uncomfortable listening to this emphasis, he had to quickly stand up and make a respectful gesture, bowed his head and said: "How dare you call a wise man in front of Rui Gong, if the student makes a mistake, I hope that Rui Gong will not hesitate to advise!"
"Hehe, there is nothing to advise, I just want to remind Pingyang County that your original intention of not wanting to cause turmoil is good.
But these tens of thousands of homeless people live in one place, and the imperial court has no effective resettlement measures, how many people can live with just a little gruel every day?
As the saying goes, the poor begraft and the hungry beg, and these homeless people will not have enough to eat.
At that time, if we did not talk about riots, it was theft and rape, and did we not also cause trouble in the villages?
At that time, Pingyang County was always benevolent, and I am afraid that it is difficult to escape the blame. ”
"This ......"
Pingyang County's face changed when he heard this, and the person from the Fang family next to him sneered, and said unceremoniously: "Idiot, don't you understand this, you don't have a few people under you."
But didn't the imperial court have a large army?
You don't know how to deal with the homeless, you won't even know how to fold, right?"
No matter how good Pingyang County is, when he hears such an unceremonious reprimand, he can't help but feel a little hanging.
I could only barely squeeze out some smiles and said: "In this way, the student understands, the student ...... this time"
Before he finished speaking, a scolding suddenly came from outside, "Who are you, you dare to come to our clan to stir up, you don't want to live ......"
"Get out of here!"
Before the scolding was finished, a cold snort was heard, followed by a bang, and the door of the hall was slammed open.
Then a figure flew in from the outside, falling below the crowd.
As soon as the Fang clan people present saw the clothes of the person who flew in upside down, they recognized that this was their Fang clan's family.
Everyone's faces couldn't help but change, and they subconsciously looked out of the door.
Pingyang County was also full of surprise, and even forgot to straighten up when he bent over.
Obviously, everyone is a little bit unfigured out.
In Pingyang County these years, there are still people who come to Fang's house to make trouble?
Could it be that the homeless people have revolted?
Pingyang County couldn't help sweating on his forehead, this is said to be a riot of the homeless, it is too fast.
And how can this outcasts feel so arrogant?
But soon they learned that it was not the displaced people, but the officers and soldiers.
Because just when Pingyang County and the Fang clan were stunned, a team of soldiers had already rushed in like wolves and appeared in front of them.
Seeing the officers and soldiers Fang Hongjian and Fang Ruiyao, they calmed down, but their faces were gloomy.
Although they had already recognized from the clothes of these officers and soldiers that it was Jinyiwei.
But the Fang family is not an ordinary family.
Although the head of the family, Fang Hongji, is only a Lang official, but the Fang family also has two thousand stones, not to mention that there are many affiliated protégés like Pingyang Ling.
What's more, the Fang family also has Fang Ruiyao, a famous Confucian family.
Does the imperial court dare to move the Fang family easily?
I really thought our house was made of mud.
But when they saw Lin Yuchen walking in like a leisurely stroll, they couldn't help but be stunned.
Especially Fang Ruiyao couldn't help but feel a tense in his heart, because in the rain that day, the scene of this person cutting off the head of the Nangong family in front of him is still vivid.
However, he immediately calmed down, and said with a calm and indifferent smile on his face: "The old man thinks it is sacred, it turns out to be the Lin family Xiaolang, I don't know what my Fang clan has to do today, isn't it that my clan also has a hatred with you for killing his father and destroying the clan?"
