Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 368 Dispute
Two days later, Ji You returned to Qu'a, and also learned about Shen Zhezi's handling of these rebellious soldiers.

"Why don't you kill those rebellious soldiers who are worse than beasts? Why don't you avenge those innocent Qu'a villagers? Even if those soldiers had no choice but to do so, the generals who led the troops could hardly absolve themselves of the blame. Why didn't you kill them in the future Thanks to the villagers?"

Regardless of the obstruction of Shen Zhezi's personal guards, Ji You went straight into the county office, pointed at Shen Zhezi who was sitting in the hall and was reading documents with a livid face, and shouted.

Hearing this, Shen Zhezi put down the file in his hand, signaled his soldiers to retreat, and said with a smile, "Why are you so irritable, Wenxue? Could it be that you failed to persuade Zhang Jian to surrender? I said earlier..."

"Don't change the subject for me! Let me ask you, why didn't you punish those guards who killed the villagers according to the law?"

Ji You waved his arms and shouted, his expression was already extremely excited, not to mention how much risk and patience he had taken in Qu'a for many years to preserve the township, when he went to persuade Zhang Jian to surrender, he saw that Zhang Jian would rather go south He refused to surrender even to death and was used by the court again, so he deeply felt the corruption of the world.

He originally thought that with Shen Zhezi's vigor, he would handle the matter fairly and would not let the group of wolves-like rebels go unnoticed.But when he returned to Qu'a, he saw those rebels stationed outside the county office intact, and the indignation in his heart can be imagined.

When Shen Zhezi heard this, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he frowned and said, "Why did I kill those rebels? Why did I avenge the people of Qu'a? I killed them? I led the soldiers? I am Danyang Yin? I'm Qu A Ling? If you have nothing else to do, you go down and rest first, I'm very annoying."

After hearing this, Ji You's anger turned into astonishment, as if he didn't believe that the words came from Shen Zhezi, and after a while, he pointed at Shen Zhezi and said sadly: "Shen Weizhou, how can you say that? You are a false governor , You are the captain of the son-in-law. Seeing such evil things, you actually stand by and stand by? How can you be like this when you do this, and those who have no official positions and talk about it? Take the lead in fighting for merit, and act cowardly in order to control chaos? How can you……"

"I know that those who lead the crowd are old people from Danyang. You want to remember the past for selfishness and cover up this crime, don't you? Are you worried that those people will hold you accountable afterwards and make you look down? I won't give it to you." You cause trouble, I can't control other people's families, I know that several people in my family are involved in this matter, these people who have ruined the reputation of the family, the beasts are not as good as their generation, and they are worthless! I will kill them myself to apologize to the villagers. This is my own family business , has nothing to do with you, Mr. Shen!"

As he said that, Ji You turned around with a flick of his sleeves and strode towards the layman.

"You stop for me!"

Shen Zhezi's face also became gloomy at this moment. He stood up and walked down to the hall to come to Ji You, and threw the file in his hand on Ji You's face: "This is the suffering of Qu'a sent back this morning. In the 23rd place, the dead are not counted, the wounded are more than two thousand, the dead are hundreds, and there are still thousands of old, weak, orphans and children. It is okay to avenge them, but after the revenge is over? Do I want to tell them that the revenge has helped you? Reported, you lie in the countryside to fend for yourself!"

"so much……"

Ji You picked up the dossier and looked at it for a moment, gasped, and then his cheeks twitched faintly: "Such a heinous crime, shouldn't they be killed? These villagers suffered innocently, so the court will sit idly by and do nothing. Relief?"

"Relief?"

When Shen Zhezi heard this, he sneered: "I'll tell you how much money is left in the treasury in the capital. The food is not enough for a thousand dendrobium, and the money is not enough for a hundred thousand! When I return to the capital in the future, I don't know how to arrange it. How long will the people wait for the relief?"

"Didn't those rebellious troops have plundered? It was originally the property of the villagers and returning them to them can solve the urgent need. In the future, the imperial court will give preferential treatment and exempt the household transfer of the servants. They can always slowly recover their vitality. Why is there no way out!"

Ji You is still plausible.

"Very well, Ji Jun is indeed a good minister. Nine counties in Danyang, four counties in Liyang, thirteen counties in Xuancheng...there are many counties along the river that have not suffered from military disasters. Do they all have to follow this example to let the villagers Rest and recuperate? Where does the court tax come from? Did you, Ji Wenxue, pay for it?"

"You, you are making unreasonable words! Could it be that if these people are left alive, the innocent dead can be revived? Can the disabled be healthy? Can the old and weak be cared for?"

"Yes, that's what it means!"

Shen Zhezi returned to his seat and sat down again at this moment, and then sneered: "I will not kill those criminals, and every family will pay me for their lives, including your Ji family! As long as there is one of those victims If he is still alive, whoever dares to cut off the money, I will kill his whole family! I am afraid of them, the old Danyang bullshit?"

"Suppose this matter becomes serious, Danyang is not stable, Xingtai cannot be returned to the capital, then Sanwu will move to Duji, Jiangzhou will move its capital to Wuchang, what can be used to refute it? If you can come to the south, you don’t need these criminals to set up defenses. Who will you send? Who is willing to go? If you recruit the leader of the Huaibei army, will it be the next Liyang? "

"But, but..."

"No, but, just tell me, how can I settle down the group of survivors? How can I quickly stabilize the situation in Gyeonggi and allow Xingtai to return? How can I mobilize enough manpower to set up a defense line in Jiangbei? These few problems have been solved, we Kill those murderers immediately."

Shen Zhezi picked up the pen, glanced at Ji You, whose face was changing, and said, "If you have no better way, then shut up. I have something to tell you to do."

"me……"

Ji You really didn't think so much, and was speechless after Shen Zhezi's series of questioning, but he still couldn't accept such a plan in his heart. He sat down hesitantly, and couldn't help recalling Zhang Jian's words before parting in his mind, murmured He muttered: "What kind of world is this? There is disharmony between the inside and outside, the upper and lower are at odds, the high-ranking people exercise power, and the poor use force. Everyone is trampling on this world to make it worse. Is it true that no one expects this world to improve?"

Shen Zhezi was lowering his head and writing quickly, when he heard Ji You's words, he looked up at him, and said with a smile, "Is it Zhang Jian who said so sadly?"

"Part Zhang Jian sighed, and part I thought about it myself."

Ji You's demeanor was already full of entanglements, and he said in a heavy tone: "Weizhou, can this world only get worse and worse? Who should be responsible for the crime? It is true that the culprit of the Jiangdong army is the Liyang rebels, but Zhang Jian and the others What did they do wrong? At the beginning of crossing the river, why didn't they want to be used by the king's order and make a name for themselves! I thought that the guards were Danyang folks, and they would be able to guard their hometown, but they did this kind of evil thing again..."

Hearing Ji You's depressed and even desperate tone, Shen Zhezi was really worried that this guy would have a nervous breakdown and split personality.

After pondering for a while, he put down the brush in his hand and sighed: "Whether the world will get worse, I don't know. But since there is still a possibility of getting worse, it can be seen that it has not gone to the extreme. Satirical, thousands of years ago, and thousands of years later, I can tell you responsibly that the world will never be governed, there will always be people who will not succeed, and there will always be people who will be persecuted, but the methods are different, but the essence is the same.”

"What era you were born in is the best for you. Tomorrow has become a piece of loess. Whether the world is good or bad has nothing to do with you. Manpower is limited, and it may not be possible to destroy a bad one by yourself. The way of the world guides the good, and it is not the sin of the second or third son to make a world worse. If you are good, you will benefit the world, and if you are poor, you will be good for yourself. If you are a good person, you don’t have to be cynical and criticize others. Be kind to what you see. Be good at one thing and not seek Peace of mind, I just can't bear to see the world miserable."

When Ji You heard Shen Zhezi say this, the entanglement and loneliness on his face lessened, and he said apologetically, "Weizhou, I was short of breath earlier, so don't mind. Well, if I can be as open-minded as you, That’s a lot less hassle.”

"I'm teaching you the principles of being a human being. Don't compare yourself to me. As for myself, I'm looking at the world, my heart is in the vicissitudes of life, and the white clouds and dogs are fighting for the day and night. The backlog of hardships in my heart is heavier than yours. Much more."

After sighing, Shen Zhezi dried the ink on the letter, then rolled it up and handed it to Ji You: "You can't stay here, Qu'a, and I will hand over the political affairs records and letters to Ma Xingzhi later, and I will do it for you. He invited him to be the magistrate of this township and county, and he will handle the aftermath in the future. After you return to the capital, you submit this letter to Wang Taibao, and he will understand what to do."

"Also, the military commander will send more detailed information on those criminals who rebelled against the army later. You take it with you to the capital, visit those families according to the list, and tell them what I mean. Your family has its roots in the old guard. Deep, this incident is also to blame. As long as you express your opinion, these people will not be able to unite against me. There is no need to bargain with them. If they still have objections to this, tell them that I will kill this group of rebels first , and then return to the capital to wipe out their families!"

"Is this too tyrannical?"

Hearing this, Ji You frowned slightly worried.

"Could it be that you were not tyrannical when you clamored for me to kill them all? Don't worry, there will be no changes."

Of course there will be variables. After all, the situation around Gyeonggi has changed, and Shen Zhezi is no longer the dominant family.But going to see Tao Kan earlier made Shen Zhezi see the hidden dangers of the Jingzhou Army. Tao Kan should be busy consolidating his position now. Because Gyeonggi is not where Jingzhou's interests lie.

Besides, Director Wang is the one who doesn't want turmoil in the capital at the moment. Shen Zhezi has already made arrangements here. Director Wang will never allow those people to make trouble anymore, and he will also come forward to deter them.

In the next few days, Shen Zhezi still stayed in Qu'a, on the one hand to avoid the Jingzhou Army temporarily, and on the other hand to wait for news from Jingkou Xingtai.Of course, the most important thing is to recruit these rebels. The registration book of the Guard's Mansion has already been burned by the rebels, so Shen Zhezi asked people to start from the beginning, and list these rebels one by one in the register.

Of course it is unreasonable to do so, but now these disorderly troops are stinking shit, and no one will pick them up.But they have the name of a guard, Shen Zhezi has almost no resistance to accept it now, so there is a basis for arranging Duhe to go to Jiangbei.

Today is different from the time of Zu Ti, the imperial court cannot just sit back and watch the Shen family or a certain family independently gather troops to develop in Jiangbei, these criminals can be regarded as a solution to Shen Zhezi's urgent need.Although they are guilty, their family roots are all in Jiangdong, which is much more credible than those Wubi masters in Jiangbei.

As long as the foundation is laid, Shen Zhezi will mobilize manpower and material resources to go to Jiangbei in the future, whether it is official or private channels, it will be much smoother.
