The first sixty-three chapters meet the old knowledge in a foreign land
Lao Mi ignored Wang Xian and returned to the county office angrily. He asked someone to call Zheng Jiaoyu and tell him about the government's relief arrangements.
Zheng Jiaoyu felt his scalp numb when he heard this and said, "How could you agree to such a thing?"
"I have resisted with all my strength." The old face of Mizhi County was full of pain: "But the official level is overwhelming. If I persist, the person named Su will have to suspend me and let others
Isn’t it more troublesome to act as Pujiang agent?”
"Why did Magistrate Su do this?" Zheng Jiaoyu frowned and said, "It's not like his usual behavior."
"You haven't seen it yet..." Mi Zhixian closed his eyes and said with difficulty, his throat trembling: "The imperial court wants to take this opportunity to attack the iron plate of Pujiang County!"
"So..." Zheng Jiaoyu's expression changed drastically and he said, "The imperial court really has doubts about Pujiang?"
"It must be so..." Mi Zhixian's eyes were red, and his body could not help but tremble slightly. He hurriedly took out the wine bottle and drank two sips. He calmed down and said: "We were fooled, thinking that the imperial court sent Wang Xian to find someone. Who would have expected him?
It’s just a cover! While all our attention is on him, they’ve already laid a dragnet!”
Zheng Jiaoyu secretly regretted hearing this. Because he could not figure out Wang Xian's true identity, the overly cautious old man ordered his family to stop all activities and activities for the time being, which gave the court an opportunity...
"No, please notify Master immediately to transfer!" Zheng Jiaoyu stood up in panic and said.
"Don't make a decision in a panic." Mizhi County shook his head and regained his composure: "Now the court is just suspicious at most, otherwise the people who come will not be refugees, but the army. And the court's purpose is probably to alert the snake and make us panic.
Send the master to transfer in time so that he can get caught in their dragnet!"
"This..." Zheng Jiaoyu thought about it and stopped and said, "What do you mean?"
"Tell the old man to stay calm." Mi Zhixian said in a deep voice: "The Zheng family is the 'first family in the south of the Yangtze River' granted the title of Emperor Taizu, and is a model of filial piety in the world. Since the Yan thief always takes Taizu's orders as his motto, then
Even if it is confirmed that the master is hiding in the Zheng family, he must act in secret, otherwise he will be exposed and he will not be able to face the world." After a pause, he said: "So although the imperial court has thousands of troops, it will not set foot on the Pujiang River.
We will only send dogs like Jin Yiwei to secretly survey this three-acre land."
"Yes." Zheng Jiaoyu calmed down after hearing this: "That's right. If it's just a secret fight, we are not afraid."
"Yes." Mizhi County nodded and said: "As long as the master doesn't move, no one can find him. And the court will not act rashly if it is not sure. You must not be chaotic at this time, otherwise big trouble will happen!"
His face became serious and he said: "Confucius said Cheng Ren, Mencius said Qi Yi. I am not afraid of dying for you, the emperor. What else is there to be afraid of?"
"Yes." Zheng Jiaoyu nodded solemnly, left the county government office, and hurried back to Zhengzhai Town to discuss countermeasures with the old man.
In that room, Wang Xian simply settled the victims and returned to Xiya to rest for a while.
On the carriage, Xianyun frowned and said, "How could it be like this? Now the Zheng family must know everything."
"Yes," Wang Xian sighed and said, "It's obvious how unpredictable people's hearts are." Magistrate Su was obviously a character that Zhou Zhitai could trust, but unexpectedly, he acted so pretentiously towards Lao Mi, probably with the intention of warning him.
"If Magistrate Su really wants to warn..." Xianyun said with a shudder, "That would be terrible."
"Yes." Wang Xian nodded. The prefect of the first prefecture actually knew about the whereabouts of that man a long time ago, and risked having the whole family executed by not reporting the information, but he did not gain any benefit at all... People's support was against him, so this was the reason.
is the scariest!
Looking at the obviously chaotic street, where people began to queue up to buy rice, and even looting occurred, Xianyun asked in a low voice: "What if that person gets wind of the situation and flees?"
"It's going to rain and my mother is going to get married." Wang Xian said calmly, "We are small characters and we can do our best. Why force the result?" Suokan put on a wry smile and said, "Besides, you can't force it.
of……"
"..." Xianyun doesn't understand Wang Xian's thoughts. He is relatively simple. He only knows that since he has accepted the task, he must only succeed and not fail. "You can't give up until the last moment!"
"Yeah." Wang Xian nodded in response.
When I returned to Xiya, the errand reported that someone was coming from the second master's hometown.
When Wang Xian came to the living room, he saw a fat little man who was tired of work. He couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Little fat man, what kind of wind has brought you here!"
"Ashamed..." The little fat man was Wu Wei. He stood up and saluted Wang Xian, and said with shame: "I lost my job in Fuyang and came here to join you in anger!"
"What's going on?!" How could Wang Xian have time to care about Fuyang during this period? Hearing this, he said in shock: "Who ruined your job?"
"Who else can there be?" Wu Wei looked at Xianyun and listened to Wang Xiandao: "It's okay to say it," and then said in a muffled voice: "Jiang County Cheng... Jiang County Magistrate. After the eldest master and his lord left Fuyang, those squires looked at
When the opportunity arose, he persuaded a man named Jiang to overthrow all the New Deal policies of the great master and your Excellency. He also sold the 5,000 acres of terraced fields newly developed by the victims to the wealthy households at a low price. I couldn't bear to see the hard work of the great master and your Excellency.
It all went down the drain. I tried my best to argue with him, but he slapped me with a slap in the face, and even ruined my household secretary!" Seeing him gritting his teeth, he said, "I couldn't get any more angry, so I came to complain to your lord. Your lord will definitely do it.
We must stop his perverse behavior!"
"Bastard!" Wang Xian said angrily when he heard this: "When I was in the county, I didn't realize that the person named Jiang was so sinister!"
"The fox's tail is well hidden." Wu Weihen said: "Actually, he and Director Diao are the same as each other. Those things that involve corruption and perverting the law, without his nod, Director Diao cannot do. It turns out that when the eldest master is here, don't look at him
I only obey orders, I have long hated the great master in my heart, and now it is his turn to take charge: of course he will overthrow them all!"
"You bastard! I'm going to chop him up and feed him to the dogs!" Thinking that the Fuyang New Deal he had worked so hard to build was wiped out in the blink of an eye, Wang Xian's eyes were splitting, and he wished he could kill him back to Fuyang right away.
It's a pity that it can only be said, not to mention what time it is now, how can it be extraneous. Just say that the surname Jiang is now the official seal of a county, and he is just a canonical historian from another county. How can he be destroyed by destroying him?
"Sir, calm down." Wu Wei, on the other hand, regained his usual calmness after expressing his inner feelings, and persuaded: "This matter needs long-term consideration..."
"The New Deal can't wait!" Wang Xian said sadly.
"The most urgent task is for your Excellency to write to the eldest father as soon as possible. Although the eldest father is now a minister, he can always find ways to put pressure on the county in Beijing." Wu Weidao said: "I have your father, please ask him:
The Hangzhou government has also thought of ways, but they are more impulsive than adults."
"Alas..." After much persuasion, Wang Xian was finally persuaded. After writing a letter to Wei Yuan and Wang Xingye, it was already dark. Wang Xian ordered someone to hold a banquet for Wu Wei to welcome the wind, but he stopped him and said: "Here comes the villain.
On the way, I saw countless victims pouring into the Pujiang River. I must have received the order for disaster relief. If we have a banquet at this time, it will inevitably lead to material disputes."
"You are still thoughtful." Wang Xian was very pleased when he heard this and said: "I am really not used to you not being around during this period." After a pause, he pointed at Shuai Hui and said: "They are loyal and reliable, but it is a pity that they did not do their jobs properly in their early years.
, I don’t even know how to read, and I can’t help because I’m anxious when something happens!”
"Your Excellency, thank you." Wu Wei saw that the situation was about to get better, so he said to Wang Xian: "Actually, besides coming to complain this time, my subordinate also has the intention of defecting. If your Excellency does not take me in, my subordinate will be desperate."
"That's great." Shuai Hui said happily when he heard this: "Little Fat Brother is here, we don't have to be scolded anymore."
"Isn't scolding you just to make you stronger?" Wang Xian glared at him and said, "You ungrateful thing!" But he didn't comment on Wu Wei's request. "Eat first, and then we'll talk after you finish!"
Dinner was a simple meal of four dishes and one soup, with no alcohol. Wang Xian personally arranged a room for Wu Wei and told him to go to bed early. Just as he was about to leave, Wu Wei stopped him and said, "Can you give me a clear answer? What will you accept?"
Don’t you want to take in your subordinates?”
"This..." Wang Xian smiled bitterly and said, "I wanted to think about it for one night before replying to you."
"Why is this necessary?" Wu Wei's proud bones were itching again, and he said calmly: "If it is inconvenient, I will not make it difficult for you."
"It's not inconvenient." Wang Xian struggled for a while and sighed: "Well, selfishly speaking, of course I want you to stay and help me, but... I can't hurt you!"
"How could it harm me?" Wu Wei asked puzzled.
"The situation here on the Pujiang River can be said to be extremely dangerous," Wang Xian said helplessly, "I am already a fish in the bottom of the cauldron, and there is nothing I can do about it, but I cannot let my brothers get caught in it."
"What happened to be so dangerous?" Wu Wei asked curiously: "Isn't Pujiang famous for its simple government affairs? Even if there is an influx of disaster victims, it won't be more troublesome than Fuyang.
"Haha, it would be nice if it was that simple..." Wang Xian said no more: "In short, you don't need to get involved, and there is no need to know. Stay with me for two days, take a rest and then go back." After that,
Patting him on the shoulder, he said with tears in his eyes: "I also want you to take Shuai Hui and Er Hei back. If anything happens, I can't explain it to their family."
"Is this really the case? Sir!" Wu Wei widened his eyes and said, "Is your life really in danger?"
"Yes." Wang Xian nodded, turned around, walked to the front and whispered softly: "My parents are big-hearted, so I'm not too worried. Only Sister Lin failed to get married twice in a row. I'm afraid she will suffer.
No, you can tell my mother that she will find a good home for her:..." After saying that, he left sadly, his back looking so desolate.
Looking at the direction he was leaving, Wu Wei stood there for a long time, then slowly lowered his head and rubbed his hair vigorously with both hands, as if it was not his head, but a mess.
