Zhao Yun said kindly: "Don't be afraid, I know everything about you. Don't worry, I will give you justice."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Majesty."
The refugees immediately started crying, and some even fainted from crying.
"Today is New Year's Eve. You will have New Year's Eve dinner with me in the palace and have a happy New Year. I promise that the days to come will be better and better."
On this day, Zhao Yun left the common people in the palace and entertained them for a New Year's Eve dinner. This scene was recorded one by one by Deng Mian and included in the history books, which became a good story.
It was the third day of the first lunar month of the second year of Hengsheng. This day was full of joy. Adults and children were busy visiting relatives and friends, paying New Year greetings, and exchanging New Year greetings. However, the face of Zhang Chun, a wealthy and powerful family in Yuhang County, was full of sadness at this time.
Just last night, the steward Zhang Gui reported to him that the imperial court was determined to implement the new law.
Zhang Chun was immediately frightened. If the new law was implemented, the more than 200,000 acres of farmland under his name would not be preserved.
Zhang Chun was furious, and he said angrily: "Isn't the imperial court trying to kill me? And Cui Cheng, what did he do? He didn't get it done, but he was transferred to a remote place. All the years of investment have been lost."
It was wasted."
Butler Zhang Guidao said: "My lord, please do not be impatient. The court is only implementing the new law in Renhe County and has not yet extended it to the whole country. There may not be any changes in the future."
Zhang Chun felt relieved for a moment, but then, Zhang Gui's words made Zhang Chun's heart jump into his throat again.
Zhang Guidao: "My lord, I heard about the court meeting on New Year's Eve. For some reason, my lord's former concubine Wu Zhenxiu was invited. She cried and complained about my lord's crimes in front of the officials and officials. I just heard that
I am afraid that the lord will be punished under the wrath of the officials, so please make preparations in advance."
"What, this happened?"
Zhang Chun was horrified, his face full of disbelief. He could not figure out why a bitch who had been kicked out by him appeared in the court and complained about him in front of the officials.
"What should I do?"
Frightened, Zhang Chun was so anxious that he was running around in circles.
At this time, Zhang Gui gave him an idea and said: "Master, isn't there a scholar named Wu Xiulin in our county? I think he is quite capable, so why not ask him for advice? Maybe there is a way."
Zhang Chun said scornfully: "Can a mere scholar do it? I think it would be better to go to the government office and clear things up. Maybe I can overcome this hurdle."
Zhang Guidao: "Your Majesty, the person in charge of our government office is Lin'an Mansion, and the governor of Lin'an Mansion is Chen Guiyi. He was appointed by the government as a counselor and has full power to preside over the new law. My lord goes to him. Isn't this the longevity star who is eating arsenic and seeking death?
?Although Wu Xiulin is a scholar, he is quite talented. He may have some clever tricks, but he has nothing to lose anyway."
Zhang Chun felt polite, so he agreed, and ordered Zhang Gui to take the invitation to invite Wu Xiulin to his house for a chat."
Wu Xiulin was a poor scholar, his family was neither high nor low, and he could still live a good life, but he happened to have a hobby, that is, he liked to go to Goulan to escort prostitutes and listen to music. This made the already mediocre family even worse. His wife and children followed him
, those days were tight.
After receiving Zhang Chun's invitation, Wu Xiulin was overjoyed to know that the God of Wealth had come to visit. After asking around, she found out that he was there to give Zhang Chun advice.
Wu Xiulin said in her heart that it was just her upper lip touching her lower lip and being a dog-headed military counselor for a while. It might as well go there and make a fortune first.
So Wu Xiulin, who had not been to Xiaoyao for many days and suffered from lack of money, accepted the invitation and went to the appointment happily.
However, when he went to the appointment, he went there in the evening. There were not many people on the road and the sight was not good. Moreover, he chose a small road.
Not only that, it was the first month of the year, and the weather was relatively cold. Everyone was wearing multiple clothes and coats, like a fat man, but Wu Xiulin was wearing a thin shirt and holding a fan in his hand. That's it.
coming.
After the meeting, Zhang Chun felt angry when he saw that he was late. Wu Xiulin apologized repeatedly and took the initiative to apologize, but Zhang Chun didn't care.
Then the two of them sat down and started eating wine and food.
"It's cold now, why are you so thinly dressed?" Zhang Chun asked Wu Xiulin politely.
Wu Xiulin was a little embarrassed and said: "I haven't had any entertainment for many days, and I am very angry, so I don't feel cold, which makes the staff laugh."
"I understand, I understand, hehehe," Zhang Chun showed a smile that all men understand.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Zhang Chun talked about the new method and the concubine, hoping that Wu Xiulin would give him some advice.
Wu Xiulin was scornful in his heart, but enthusiastic on his face. He said: "Normally, today's officials are busy with many things, so it is impossible to take this matter to heart, but as the old saying goes, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. Therefore, students think that officials should plan as early as possible
, be prepared and avoid danger.”
Zhang Chun saw that what he said was reasonable and he seemed to be confident, so he asked for advice: "May I ask, sir, if you have any magic tips? If you can help me get through this disaster, I will definitely thank you generously."
"I dare not say it is a magic trick, I can only say it is a small trick, a small trick, a small plan."
"Sir, please don't be so modest. Please tell me quickly."
Wu Xiulin no longer hesitated and said: "As Yuanwai said, the officials are now implementing the new law and want to test it in Renhe County. And our Yuhang County happens to be adjacent to Renhe. Yuhangwai might as well bribe a knight-errant hero and order him to incite local tyrants in Renhe.
Helping her to kill officials and rebel will definitely shock the imperial court. Who can care about that bitch anymore, except for the pacifier, you will be too late."
Zhang Chun was immediately overjoyed and clapped his hands and said: "Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, sir, this strategy of diverting trouble to the east is really wonderful, wonderful."
Wu Xiulin's idea really got into Zhang Chun's heart. Not only could it divert attention so that the court had no time to deal with him, it could also prevent the implementation of the new law in Renhe.
When Renhe was in chaos, the new law could not be implemented, so it was abolished and his own land was saved. This really killed two birds with one stone.
Wu Xiulin also warned: "Commissioners, you should be extremely careful when looking for knight-errant heroes, and you must not let them know your identity, so as to prevent them from being caught by the government in the future and making it difficult to end the matter."
"This is nature, this is nature."
Zhang Chun nodded repeatedly, and couldn't help but think highly of Wu Xiulin. Feeling happy, Zhang Chun ordered the housekeeper to get a hundred coins and said: "It's just your intention, it's not worth mentioning. I will thank you very much when the work is done."
"
Wu Xiulin was overjoyed when he received one hundred coins, thanked him profusely, and finally left.
After coming out of Zhang Chun's place happily, Wu Xiulin hired a carriage, took a bag of money, and went to Goulan. He began to live happily and did not go home for more than ten days. He really died in the gentle village.
