This is the advantage of Ding Wei. As long as you are his partner, even if you kill people and set fires, he can find a high-sounding reason for you.
As for you occasionally being a little disrespectful to the Song Dynasty officials and the court, or neglecting your duties, he will definitely turn a blind eye.
Therefore, working with him sometimes makes Han Qing feel more comfortable than working with Kou Zhun.
Kou Zhun is both responsible and capable, but he is a little too square. If it were his old man present today, Han Qing would not dare to openly invite Ye Qinglian to the backyard to compete in martial arts, let alone know that this woman is a pure girl.
After becoming a guest of Yangjiao, the girl was allowed to leave the county government smoothly.
But when partnering with Ding Wei, he would not have such taboos. As long as cooperation can bring benefits to both parties, Ding Wei will not interfere with what he does. He will even take the initiative to help him make up for some omissions.
Of course, if big trouble arises, Han Qing doesn't have to expect Ding Wei to be able to shield him from the wind and rain like Kou Zhun did. Both parties understand the boundaries of cooperation between them, so they don't have any sympathy for the other party in their hearts.
, in response to any unrealistic expectations.
However, the trouble he was facing now was far from being called "big", so Han Qing could safely discuss every detail with Ding Wei.
And Ding Wei was worthy of being a first-rate capable minister, always able to perfectly implement many of Han Qing's wild ideas according to the specific conditions of the Song Dynasty.
One of them was to select a dozen children every day and take turns to go to the open space in front of the government office to describe their experiences of being kidnapped and the suffering they saw on Furong Island.
Han Qing originally just wanted to use a scheming trick to let the followers of the Chunyang Sect know that they were colluding with Yang Xingyan to attack Ye County at this juncture, and that they were acting as accomplices. This was seriously contrary to the doctrines they usually claimed. As a result, Ding said that they were scolded by Ding.
After the adjustment, it became a public "complaint meeting."
On the first day, not many parents came to look for their children because they knew the news. The effect of the complaint meeting was not too successful. It only attracted some scholars who came to the Yamen Gate to inquire about the "Sanshan Island Mutiny", and some people who had nothing to do.
He's just a laid-back guy who likes to join in the excitement.
Unexpectedly, at noon the next day, the place near the high platform Ding Wei specially set up at the Yamen Gate would be packed to the rafters. Not only did they live in and around the county seat, but parents who had lost their children in the past year or two were risking their lives to rush there.
When they came over, some people who were abducted even though they had no children, but had a warm-hearted nature, also came after hearing the news.
When they heard the child standing on the stage crying that he was not abducted at all, but was snatched away by the evil servants of the Yang family in front of his parents, many people were furious. After hearing this, parents with children,
He was actually forced to death by the evil servants of the Yang family, and there was a lot of crying on and off the stage.
Immediately afterwards, I heard another child tell me that on Furong Island, some of their companions were beaten to death and maimed by the guards because they did not look good enough or had a stubborn temper, and then put them into straw bags and threw them into the sea. People in the audience
The common people were completely shocked. Many people wished they could pick up a stone, rush into the water village on Sanshan Island, and smash Yang Xingyan and his minions into pulp on the spot.
Later, I heard some children crying and saying that the Yang family sent people to teach them the Khitan language just for the purpose of selling them to the Liao Kingdom to be used as maids or prostitutes for the Khitan nobles there. The people in the audience became even more furious.
Fortunately, Han Qing responded in time and discovered that the crowd was raging. He immediately mobilized a brigade of grain workers to maintain order along the street. Otherwise, everyone with the surname Yang and Yan in the county would definitely suffer disaster! As for Yang and Yan,
Of those shops related to the family, don’t even think that any one of them could be demolished into a vacant lot without being directly demolished by the angry people!
On the morning of the third day, some lucky parents who were a little further away finally recognized their children on the spot. The whole family hugged each other tightly and burst into tears.
The people around them were no longer as impulsive as yesterday. They first made enough space for the reunited people with red eyes. Then they spontaneously walked up to Zhang Fan, Niu Ju and others who were responsible for maintaining order, and asked the government to take action to eliminate them.
The group of beasts on Sanshan Island are doing harm to the people.
What Ding wanted was this effect. He immediately came out as a direct bachelor of the Privy Council of the Song Dynasty and a transfer envoy of Jingdong East Road to accept the people's petitions. He also told everyone without any concealment that the beasts on Sanshan Island had been exposed for their evil deeds.
, fearing severe punishment from the imperial court, he had already rebelled.
Right now, these beasts are preparing to join forces with the Chunyang Cult people to attack the county seat of Ye County and kill people. With the few troops they and Han Tixing have on hand, they can protect the county seat, but they are not enough to take the initiative to suppress the bandits.
use.
"Not enough manpower? We are willing to serve in the army and be at Ding Shu's disposal!" Immediately, Ding said that he had arranged a "sitter" in advance and took the lead in asking for help with red eyes.
"Ding Shuzhi doesn't have to worry about not having enough manpower. As long as you say the same thing, I will come to serve you when I go back and settle down my family!"
"Grandma, if you don't kill these traffickers, who can guarantee that the next person whose child will be robbed will not be you?" Several idle men who came to watch the fun for three days in a row were immediately affected by the "child care"
, shouting at the top of his lungs.
Kill the person named Yang, otherwise no one in every household will be able to live in peace..."
"After suppressing the Chunyang Sect, they still saved the world and saved the people. Lu Daxian would not let them abduct and sell children!"
“Human traffickers must die a good death!”
"If God doesn't punish these traffickers, we men will! Master Ding, as long as you give the order!"
…
In an instant, the crowd at the Yamen Gate was abuzz, and almost half of the adult men present took the initiative to raise their voices and promised to help Ding Wei.
Among them, there are many shills arranged by Ding Wei in advance. However, most of them sincerely hope that the government can lead them and cut all the traffickers into pieces.
Some men who have lost their children but have not been able to find their own flesh and blood in the roster provided by the government have guessed from the cries of the children on the stage that their own flesh and blood must have been put into straw bags and thrown into the sea.
One of them even risked his life to go to Sanshan Island, even if he died together with his enemy!
Seeing that the people's support was available, Ding Wei decisively ordered the recruitment of grain Ding as a transshipment envoy. As a result, more than 2,500 people were recruited in one afternoon.
Although there are more than a thousand of them, their physical condition is very poor and they are not suitable to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. However, they are more than enough to participate in the defense of the city as auxiliary soldiers.
As an official in the early 11th century, Ding Wei was able to mobilize the people to such an extent that Han Qing secretly gave him a thumbs up after seeing it.
But Ding said that the surprises for him were far more than that. He even posted public notices asking the people to provide clues to the Chunyang Cult's dens in the city.
As a result, in the afternoon of that day, more than a dozen followers of the Chunyang Sect were spontaneously taken to the Yamen by the common people. The remaining fish that slipped through the net realized that something was not going well, and immediately gave up the plan of cooperating inside and outside, trying to get ahead of themselves before they were captured.
Before you dig it out, run away.
So, before Ye Qinglian could say what he said, the Chunyang Sect's 100,000-strong army arrived, and the small town of Ye County had been turned into a fortress by Ding Wei.
Some Chunyang sect believers who lived relatively close to the county seat, instead of daring to seek information for the sect, quietly packed up their belongings and fled to other places with their whole families.
Mostly, their conscience is still intact and they know that collaborating with human traffickers will lead to divine punishment sooner or later. So they simply voluntarily leave the Chunyang Sect and never be a fool again.
However, there are always some gangsters who are born without conscience in the world, especially the Chunyang Cult believers in the government, and corrupt officials who have received many benefits from the Yan and Yang families.
They were not willing to find their way back, but quietly wrote a secret report on what was happening in Ye County and sent it to the desk of Chunyang Dharma King Lu Ziming.
When Lu Ziming heard the news, he was furious. He immediately stopped waiting for more believers to come to join him. He ordered more than 20,000 troops and horses on hand and went straight to the county seat of Ye County.
I'm afraid that if I delay any longer, the believers around me will also hear about the evil deeds of the Yan and Yang families, which will cause the army's morale to be shaken and collapse without a fight!
