The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 642
In the meeting hall of Ouyang's family, more than a dozen elites of the gentry gathered around one place, all of them with serious faces, sitting there motionless.

At this time, Ouyang Rui, the head of the Ouyang Patriarch, stood up slowly, and said in a deep voice, "Everyone should have heard about it before. Duke Hua actually killed Master Shi because he was a lowly maidservant. Hengshan's tyrannical government is as fierce as a tiger. It can be said that the gentry has been harmed by it. If we don’t unite again and establish a country in Hengshan in the future, how can we still have a foothold? Therefore, I invite you to come here today because I want to join in the grand event with you and set up our gentry against tyranny. banner."

After Ouyang Rui finished speaking, the field was silent.Everyone here is not stupid, they are dissatisfied with Hengshan, but this does not mean that they will stand up and oppose it foolishly.The Hengshan Army's saber was still hanging above their heads, and no one dared to act rashly.

After a long time, an old man present said: "Patriarch Ouyang, we are gathering here today, why don't we see Mr. Pei? Without his support, even if we want to, we will be powerless."

"Yes, yes. Patriarch Pei is not only the leader of the Hengshan gentry, but also the only gentry who has entered Hengshan and occupies a high position. Without his support, how can we succeed?"

Only then did everyone realize that Pei Yan didn't seem to be attending this gathering?
Ouyang Rui's face suddenly darkened, and he snorted coldly, "This person Pei Yan is no longer of the same mind as our gentry. He is willing to become a running dog in Hengshan and does not speak for us and the gentry at all. How can we meet when this person comes? Can it go on?"

"As for Pei Yan, don't we really have no strength to fight against Hengshan?" Ouyang Rui looked around the crowd and continued, "I know what you are worried about. This gathering, I am not instigating you to fight Hengshan Ming In terms of strength, we can't fight against it at all. But in terms of foundation, we, the gentry, have a hundred years of experience. In fact, he, a group of hillbillies in Hengshan, can match it? Since we can't fight openly, we can fight secretly, only within the rules of Hengshan Inside, they can't do anything to us."

When everyone heard the words, they couldn't help but look at each other.This Patriarch Ouyang has such a big tone, dare to challenge Hengshan, don't want to live anymore?
Ouyang Rui looked at the expressions of everyone, and naturally understood their concerns, and immediately smiled and said: "Why, are you scared?"

"Hmph. Patriarch Ouyang, you don't have to provoke us with your words." A patriarch snorted, "This Hengshan is different from other forces. If they are enraged, they will definitely dare to attack us. I am waiting for my family to have a big career, so I dare not take this risk."

"Patriarch Chen is right, Patriarch Ouyang, Hengshan is about to establish a country, and it is really inappropriate to offend them." A thin old man echoed.

"Everyone, the younger generation thinks that Patriarch Ouyang's words are not impossible." At this time, the middle-aged man in his 30s stood up and said in a deep voice, "According to my understanding, Hengshan governs the people by law, as long as it does not violate the law." , They will not punish easily. Patriarch Ouyang, what kind of fighting method is the secret war you mentioned, which can make Hengshan helpless?"

Ouyang Rui nodded gratefully to the middle-aged Patriarch, and immediately said: "Since Patriarch Zhou asked, I will tell you about it. As we all know, there is a women's administration in the official system of Hengshan. Hua The Duke of the State actually used his official equipment for private use, and appointed his sister, a woman, to be in charge of the women's administration. Ladies and gentlemen, from ancient times to the present, there has never been a precedent for a woman to be an official. Hengshan's move can be said to be a violation of general ethics, and let a woman come to cock Si Chen, isn’t it extremely absurd? Since we are the subjects of Hengshan, how can we sit idly by? I should write a letter to the Duke of the State, requesting the abolition of the Women’s Administration, so as to rectify the government.”

When everyone heard the words, they couldn't help being greatly moved.Everyone felt that it was absurd for Hua Guogong to retain such a women's government office.But frightened by Hengshan's power, he never dared to speak out against it.Now, after Patriarch Ouyang said this, everyone's eyes brightened.Yes, Hengshan couldn't help saying that since we are the people under Hengshan's rule now, we have the right to correct Hengshan's mistakes.As long as they are not openly opposing Hengshan's rule, what reason do they have to interfere with their loyalty?

"Patriarch Ouyang praises this very much." Patriarch Zhou immediately stood up and praised, "Everyone, Hengshan is about to establish a country with a stable foundation. If we don't seize this opportunity and make our voices heard. On the other hand, there are all the dignitaries in Hengshan. But we are outside the court, and our reputation is declining. One day, we gentry will lose their glory in the past and gradually disappear from the crowd. After several generations, how can there be a family? Existence? Junior Zhou Yuan, even though his strength is weak, he is willing to do his best to help Patriarch Ouyang support the righteousness."

When everyone heard the words, their expressions were different, some were shocked, some were ashamed, and some were hesitant.But as the patriarchs stood up to express their opinions, in the end, everyone unanimously decided to follow Patriarch Ouyang's strategy and jointly wrote a letter requesting the abolition of the Women's Administration.

However, within ten days, a letter of remonstrance signed by dozens of gentry families was sent to the Duke's Mansion with a high profile.At the same time, the major gentry secretly arranged a large number of people to publicize the content of this appeal among the people, slandering the various bad policies and malpractices of the Women's Administration, and they almost pointed at Lin Shuwan and scolded her chicken Sichen.

"Bang!" Lin Yifan slapped the table heavily with a terrifying killing intent in his eyes. "Damn it, these gentry are all damned!"

He never expected that when he was worried about the matter of the old Hengshan people, the gentry would dare to move the tiger's whiskers at this time.And go, the target is directed at the Women's Political Bureau, this official position that he has persisted under tremendous pressure.

"My lord, you give the order." Niu Dali yelled, "I'll send someone to arrest them all immediately."

"Arrest it?" Lin Yifan couldn't help but wryly smiled. This time, these gentry learned to be smart and didn't directly confront him. Instead, they adopted a disgusting letter of advice, which did not intend to criticize Hengshan's system at all. Instead, they concentrated all their firepower on On the Women's Administration, report its shortcomings.There is a sense of loyalty and loyalty in the content. If people who don't know it and read it, they will think that the other party is thinking of Hengshan.As for sending people to arrest them for questioning, it is impossible.Now that Hengshan has determined the policy of ruling the country by law, he cannot take the lead in breaking this rule.Otherwise, wouldn't the Hengshan legal system be useless?

"I can't catch it, Dali, you should go immediately and inform all the adults to come and discuss it." Lin Yifan shook his head and said weakly.

"Yes." Niu Dali stepped back unwillingly.

"Okay, since you want to fight me within the rules, then I will accompany you to the end." Lin Yifan tightly held the admonition form, with a cold expression on his face.
