high official

Chapter 57 Counterattack: Yellow Book Monument
"Now tell me, should those corrupt officials, filthy officials, and bad food chiefs be killed or not!"

As soon as Wei Zhixian's words fell, the people were in an uproar:
"This is too rampant, no wonder Grandpa wanted to kill people, well done, well done!"

"That's right, they actually took more than half of the imperial rations we handed over. Whose world is this Ming Dynasty? They should be killed!"

Amidst the common people's 'should be killed', the magistrate of Wei said loudly: "It has been nearly 30 years since this case, and a new batch of moths have been born in the country! The various methods in the Guo Huan case have once again spread on the land of Ming Dynasty! Everyone said, should we clean up again! Give me back the Ming Dynasty, and give my people a clear day!"

The emotions of the people have been fully mobilized. Thousands of people raised their arms high and shouted wildly: "Yes!"

"Do you want to know if there are such moths in Fuyang County?" Wei Zhixian asked again.

"Think!" The common people shouted wildly.

"Okay! I will let you see clearly!" Wei Zhixian waved his hand, and two guards pushed out a cart, and tore off the red silk covering the cart, revealing two stone tablets, densely engraved with words.Just listen to Wei Zhixian's way: "I will engrave the yellow book of tax and service in this county on the stone tablet and stand it at the head of each village! After you go back, you can tell the villagers to check it. If you find that your family's name is not on the tablet, and you But I have been paying taxes all the time, so I immediately came to the county government to report, and the county will definitely listen to it! I think that Emperor Yongle will catch up with the first emperor in courage, and will never let the people down!"

"Okay!" The common people have fallen into a state of frenzy, and they can't wait to go back and check whether the imperial grains they have paid over the years have entered the national treasury, or have they been corrupted by bastards!
Amidst the shouting, beating and killing, those grain chiefs were so frightened that their legs went limp, and the least courageous one even pissed his pants...

The old faces of the country gentry were also blue and white, and this group of people who did not shed tears when they saw the coffin finally saw the coffin...

On the periphery of the crowd, a man in Kongwu's strong suit frowned and said to a middle-aged man wearing a bamboo hat and a green cloth straight jacket: "Master, the magistrate of Wei County is playing with fire..."

The man pushed up the bamboo hat, and on his thin face, there was a hint of teasing: "Didn't you hit the festival just now..."

"Just now, didn't the master often say that too much is too late?" The strong man said worriedly: "He brought out the 'Student Regulations' to punish those scholars who made trouble; It’s a good trick, but if the cover is really lifted, I’m afraid it’s going to set off a big prison.”

"Hehe..." The middle-aged man smiled faintly, but because that face was too serious, the smile was no different from a sneer: "You boy, you have started to use your brain."

"Don't I feel sorry for such a good official?" The strong man scratched his head and said, "Besides, if you really want to set off a big prison, it will be a big trouble for the master."

"Worry about it." The middle-aged man snorted, "Wei Zhixian has a sense of propriety, so he won't take off the cover?"

"Why?" Seeing the rhythm, the brawny man had no choice but to shoot.

"Unless he thinks his life is too long, Wan will not use this method to lift the cover." The middle-aged man said slowly: "The current big fanfare just shows that his purpose is just to bluff people."

"How can this be a bluff? He has already played the game to death. If he stops now, he will become a laughing stock." The strong man said in disbelief.

"Because his opponents are a group of old foxes who have nothing to fear." The middle-aged man said coldly: "If you show your teeth and claws, I will not stand still. It's useless to scare them, you have to be serious!"

"Master, why are you tripping yourself up?" the strong man said with a smile, "Just now he said he was just bluffing, and then he said he wanted to be serious."

"Oh, rotten wood can't be carved..." The master sighed and said, "What is empty is real, and what is real is empty. It is wonderful to use, and it can be sent and received freely..."

"Oh..." The strong man shrunk his neck, looked at the stage, and saw that Wei Zhixian had already returned to the Yamen, and all the officials and servants also left the eight-character wall, "Master, shall we go to see Wei Zhixian?"

"Wait." The middle-aged man turned around with the crowd and said, "Wei Zhixian still has the second half, so I don't have time to see us right now."

"Ah, master, I seem to understand." The strong man hurried to catch up and said, "Those steles can't be erected just like that..."

"It seems that it hasn't completely rotted..." The middle-aged man shook his head and smiled, and disappeared into the corner of the street with the strong man.

.

Wei Zhixian returned to the signing room, and just after he took off the beam crown, six grain chiefs joined hands to ask for an audience.

Wei Zhixian ignored it, and asked the long follower to untie his big belt, bare his knees, and court clothes, and took the soaked towel and pressed it on his face, using the cold touch to calm down his impetuous emotions.

"My lord, the food chiefs are kneeling outside the signing room." The duty chief of the signing room then reported.

Wei Zhixian changed into Yan Zuo's official uniform, and when he returned to the big case, he saw that he was still there, raised a teacup to moisten his throat and said, "What are you still doing standing here?"

The long follower had no choice but to leave, and Wei Zhixian picked up a copy of the "Great Law" and read it carefully. Does he know what it means to "turn decay into magic", and Wang Xian dug out from the almost forgotten Great Law. The two clauses in the book made him justified in today's turnaround.It's really more exciting than being named on the gold list back then!

'It seems that there are no useless things, only useless people! ”Wei Zhixian deeply hated himself for not being familiar with the law, so he was humiliated in vain.If he had known this law earlier, he would have been able to expel those students on the spot, wouldn't it be much better than remedial action afterwards?
The magistrate of Wei had just learned two pages of "The Great Proclamation", when the entourage came back again and said, "Master, just now Han Gonggong slammed into the rockery, but thanks to the help of the person next to him, his head was still bleeding."

Wei Zhixian didn't make a sound, his white face gradually turned serious.

"My lord, let's meet them..." the follower bit the bullet and persuaded.

'boom! ’ Wei Zhixian slammed the book in his hand so hard that the follower shrank his neck in fright.

Wei Zhixian stared at him closely, and said sharply: "What are you, you dare to talk too much!"

The relative had been in the yamen for a long time, but he didn't panic in the slightest, and calmly replied: "The old man calmed down, and the villain is also loyal, just because those food chiefs not only look for death, but also say scary things, and the villain is afraid of making trouble." If someone dies, they have to report it.”

"What scary things did you say?"

"If you don't see them, they will die outside the door together."

"Why are you on duty?" Wei Zhixian said with a dark face and sharp sarcasm: "It's important to sign a lot, and let them mess around outside? Even if I have a dog, I know how to bark at them twice!"

That entourage was worse than being scolded as a dog, and his face was flushed red.

"You are going to do two things now!" Wei Zhixian said in a deep voice: "The first thing is to order people to fork them out of the county government, and to find them dead in Louze Garden, so that they won't have to collect their bodies."

The follower opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Wei Zhixian continued: "Second thing, you go to Master Sima, settle this month's work, food and silver, and then pack up and leave the county government, no longer hired!"

The follower was completely stunned, with his mouth half open, not knowing where to start.

"Are you still asking me why?!" Wei Zhixian said for him.

"Yes... dare not!" Only then did I come to my senses, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "My lord, what did the villain do wrong to be expelled?"

"You know it yourself." Wei Zhixian continued to pick up the "Da Gao", ignoring him and said: "No officer in the world will use something that eats inside and out!"

Only then did I understand the reason, it turned out that the Dongchuang incident had happened, so he didn't say anything, just snorted heavily, got up and walked out.

"Come on!" Wei Zhixian suddenly shouted.

Hearing the sound, two Zaoli came in, just blocking the way of the relative, and clasped their fists and said: "My lord!"

"Take him out for sixty sticks, and Lumi doesn't have to give him any more!" Wei Zhixian said coldly, "Continuing to spread the word, from now on, anyone who leaks information or peeps at the manuscript will be given forty sticks and handed over to the judiciary. Anyone who intercedes for others and disrespects the superior will be given twenty sticks and fired immediately!
"Here!" Sensing the grand master's aura, Zaoli replied very loudly.

The follower felt frightened and was dragged out by Zaoli.

.

After a stick of incense, Master Sima opened the curtain and came in, saying: "Everything that the elder ordered has been done." He finally felt the majesty of Bailihou from Wei Zhixian.

"Sir, you don't have to be like this." Wei Zhixian smiled and said, "Official authority depends on standing, and what Wang Xian said is true."

"Hehe..." Seeing Wang Xian's status in the eyes of the county lord soared, Sima Qiu felt sour. He seemed to have seen the miserable scene of a new generation replacing an old one.It took a while to come back to God and said: "Jiang County Chancellor and Master Diao are asking to see each other outside."

"No." Wei Zhixian said in a deep voice: "Go out and tell them, I've made up my mind, it's useless to talk, let them go back and wait!"

"Okay." Sima begged to go out, and told the words of Wei Zhixian to the two assistants.

Jiang Xiancheng was dumbfounded when he heard the words, and Master Diao was panicked like a dog in mourning. The two of them held Sima Qiu's hand and begged: "Sir, show me a way to survive!"

"Oh," Sima Qiu said with a sigh, "the county master has lost his temper, and no one can pull it back. It's useless for you two to say it. Who else in Fuyang County can talk about it?"

After speaking, he withdrew his hand, shook his head and turned to go in, but Jiang Xiancheng and Diao Zhubo seemed to have realized something, they finally understood who they should turn to to intercede.

The two went out to the county government office, called six food chiefs, and came to Zhou's restaurant.In the private room, several old men were restless waiting for the news. They heard that all the people from the county government were mobilized to go to various townships to erect monuments. They have no direct relationship, but annexing ten thousand hectares of land and passing taxes and labors on to the common people is the only way for them to make a fortune. If the yellow book is made public, all the details must be leaked!

Even if the lawsuit is settled in the end without any injuries, their reputation in the village will be ruined. How can they have the face in the future to put on that stinky air of respect and respect?
The reason why these old gentlemen have been deadlocked with the magistrate to this day, isn't it just to save face?
Now the magistrate of Wei doesn't fight with them anymore, he just changed his big ear photon to slap his face!Only then did the old men realize that compared to wealth and reputation, face is actually not that important...
