Taipingchun

May is not a busy season, and ordinary people have more leisure time.

Parents are short-sighted, and things that they like to hear and see have room to ferment and mature.The "Jiangning Miscellaneous Essays", which was personally arranged by the old scholar, was printed by the Jiangning Chamber of Commerce, and then spread by a group of local ruffians. The effect was not very good at first, to be honest, after all, although scholars are good at this kind of writing, There is still some estrangement and disdain for talking about the things of the little people in the market.

In desperation, the Jiangning Chamber of Commerce invited many people in the city to make a living by selling goods to explain in various markets, wharves, and tea stalls. Fortunately, the old scholar used very simple words, and the sentences read plainly and clearly, which is easy for storytellers to interpret .The so-called propaganda position, if you don't occupy it, others will. Maybe there is no obvious ideological contest now, but Xu Xiu doesn't think there is no ideology in the subconscious, so she generously lets it out.

Even if the power of public opinion can't solve the trouble by itself, don't bring trouble again.

Such a shot can be regarded as a hit.

When things are properly arranged, there is no reason to wait. The so-called one who has already taken advantage of the victory and chased the poor, should not be known as the overlord, is talking about this kind of reason.It is only good if the other party has no time to react.

The people who went to the market at the south gate today discovered the first new thing, that is, the south gate seems to be undergoing drastic rectification. The previous market has been moved to a large open space outside the city and cut into small squares. In the long streets and alleys of the grid, many carpenters are clattering and clattering about wooden cases. The policeman in the yamen who shouted so hard that his voice was almost hoarse said that everyone will come to the market here in the future. Everyone is safe, there will be no more hooligans to harass you.

As soon as the words came out, the villagers who were originally unwilling to make this change became happy, after all, no one wanted those bugs to disturb everyone.

That being the case, everyone obediently gathered and set up a stall outside the unfinished alley, and people from all walks of life also gathered together, juggling, monkey show, everything was available.

But before the policeman arranged by Jiang Shanqing breathed a sigh of relief, someone in the crowd shouted: "When will your lord bring down the food? It's not yet the autumn harvest, and there is no rice for the pot at home."

One person takes the lead, and all directions follow.

Once the words of vital interests are spoken, it doesn't matter whether the ear is good or not, if you care, you will always listen to it.A lot of people who were originally interested fell down as if they had been beaten by Shuang, and surrounded the people who were on duty in the county government. You and I expressed their own opinions and dissatisfaction.

There were so many people talking, seeing more and more people gathering, Xiao Er was in a cold sweat.

The usual sharp tongue doesn't work, and it seems to be spinning a bit.

The crowd couldn't get a satisfactory answer, and the sun was slowly heating up, so the mood became more and more irritable. The eggs in the basket were reluctant to be thrown away, and there were many small stones on the ground. Word, hit.

If it is said that there is no one with a heart to provoke, I am afraid that no one will believe it.

When the messenger shouted loudly: "Quiet, quiet, are you planning to rebel?"

The people of Daming are not frightened, this is the south gate, when the guards from the north arrive, they will all run away. As for the officers from the yamen to arrest them, how many people can you have?Of course, I will not be afraid, as soon as I hear his words, I will immediately retaliate.

What?

pebbles.

When the messenger wiped his forehead, there was already blood left, and he cried bitterly secretly, fearing that he would mess up the affairs of the clerk.

The guards who cleaned up the streets rushed to surround him, and everyone squatted on the ground, hugging their heads together, in a panic.

The psychological tension is high, and the pain can't be felt much. I'm afraid that the ordinary people will lose the severity of the attack, and the situation will become uncontrollable.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Three gongs sounded, and there was a moment of silence in the audience.

Looking for the sound, a man in a green robe and official uniform ran towards here, shouting loudly while running: "You wait, Jiangning County is here."

When the messenger saw the lord coming, he felt relieved, but when he saw that there were only a few yamen servants accompanying him, he became worried again.

Red-eyed common people will not buy your account.

The continuous loud sound and the previous gong suppressed the impetuous actions of the common people, but this time, it was the magistrate of Jiangning County who hit the muzzle of the gun.Xu Xiu looked at the pair of hateful eyes. If he was afraid, no one would blame him, but if he didn't go now, once the matter developed out of control, it would be a crushing defeat for the overall situation.

Therefore, if you can go up, you have to go up, if you can't go up, you have to go up.

The people were a little timid, and quietly moved away. No one knew what Jiangning County wanted to do.Although there are only a few yamen servants, in the past hundred years of the country, there has never been a crewman who offended the county magistrate and ended well.

Xu Xiu ran to the front of the crowd in a short while, took breath, and didn't say a word.

He needs some time to turn his brain and think of a way to calm down this unexpected civil uprising.It can be seen that the earlier Jiangning essays have not yet played a role, and it will take some time to spread.But how could he come up with some decent words that could solve the matter all of a sudden?

Then use body language instead.

Xu Xiu solemnly wiped her black gauze hat, and shook the official uniform that symbolized the authority of the country.

The movements are slow and firm, there is no need to doubt, this is a kind of psychological hint that even he himself can't explain why he did it.

But it made everyone feel directly what he wanted to represent.There is a piece of sky above this head, and the sky of my official is the Ming court that gave me the authority, and the sky of you is me, the parent official.

Seeing that some people's eyes were a little dodgy, Xu Xiu sighed and said, "Everyone."

It's not an immediate reproach, but a sigh, what does your lord want to do?Many people don't know what to do.After all, this lord has been in Jiangning for more than a year, and his official reputation is quite good, there has been no corruption, and his subordinates are also strictly restrained.

An old white-haired man said in a low voice, "Sin, oh."

Hearing this statement, many people felt a bit of regret in their hearts.

Xu Xiu knew that she could get away safely, and she hadn't done anything in vain for more than a year.

The brains were almost turned, and the time was almost the same for them.

It's time, Xu Xiu said loudly: "I don't know if there are any villagers here who watched Guo Jun be beheaded?"

Hearing this, the cautious policeman behind him couldn't help being taken aback, what did your lord want to say?

Old Baifa dragged his little grandson out with a face of shame, knelt tremblingly and said: "The old lady will be there that day."

Xu Xiu took a deep breath and quickly helped her up.

Said: "The old man breaks me too."

Xu Xiu would never dare to be kneeled by such an elderly looking old lady.

Seeing that the old man was silent, Xu Xiu closed his eyes, and said loudly seriously: "I still remember that time, when Guo Jun's head rolled to the ground, the people of Zouma Village shouted to the county, exhausted all The power of the family prepared a generous gift for me. At that time, the county was really touched and thanked them very much, but that was all, this county would not ask for this thing."

Xu Xiu took a deep breath and continued: "But when Bai Fei, the younger brother of this county, saw that his parents, including himself, were free from now on, he gave me a bowl of clean water. In the eyes of this county, the only generous gift he can afford is as valuable as the generous gift from the Zouma Village family.

He said that he hoped that I, the parent officer of Jiangning County, could drink this bowl of clean water from Jiangning County and treat myself and everyone clearly.It was at that time that I really knew that my younger brother was a man of great wisdom, because he made me understand and wanted to convince the villagers.The county's own innocence is far more important than trying a few fancy cases. What's the use of fighting?What's so good about hitting a stone stool?I understood, so I drank it all in one gulp, and said in front of all the onlookers at the execution ground that the county will work hard for the well-being of the people of Jiangning County. "

The old white hair said again and again: "My lord is clean, my lord is clean."

The speech was very contagious, and almost all the people present had heard of Guo Jun's case, so they naturally knew that the episode after the death at the execution ground spread throughout Jiangning. Apart from caring people, I am afraid that there are not many people present who still have that grievance.

Xu Xiu waved his arms and said: "So, please rest assured, for some time in Rongben County, the food will not be allowed to continue to rise. They are provoking hundreds of thousands of people in Jiangning, and they are provoking me. They are provoking their own benevolence and justice, and this county will definitely make them pay a heavy price."

The grandson of the old man heard this and said: "These merchants are so black-hearted, why don't you arrest them and beat them up?"

The people around also booed again and again, saying that the adults should catch them quickly.

Hoarding is a capital crime, Xu Xiu knows it, including they themselves, but Zou Wang endorses it behind him. Behind Zou Wang is the powerful Zou family, who is far-reaching and powerful. He doesn't have the ability to fight head-on, and now he can only outsmart, not use force. Can become.After hearing this, Xu Xiu could only shake her head secretly.

Xu Xiu touched his head and said, "They will pay the price."

He said to everyone again: "Folks, let's go. If you persist for a while, the county will definitely give you an explanation."

This persuasion made Xu Xiu's mouth dry, but there was no other way. The previous few words could be done because they could bear it, and now they can still do it. The prestige accumulated previously can only be achieved, but the reputation cannot be satisfied. After a long time, it will definitely not work.

Watching the crowd disperse, Xu Xiu said to Xu Yang who came running out of breath, "It's all right, have you finished your business?"

Xu Yang said intermittently: "Okay, I sent it to the Lu family."

Hearing this, Xu Xiu nodded, looked back at the silent policeman, patted him on the shoulder and said, "What's your name? Can you read?"

"Little man Wang Wu, he can read a few words." Wang Wu wiped the blood stains on his forehead and said.

Xu Xiu smiled and said: "Okay, this county remembers you. You follow Jiang Shanqing and work hard. After completing the errand at the South Gate, it will be of great use."

"Yes." Wang Wu said excitedly.

Seeing that he was full of energy and wanted to continue working, Xu Xiu quickly stopped him and said, "Go back and get repaired first, treat the wound, don't be in a hurry."

"No, no, it's nothing serious. Don't worry, my lord, but I'm fine with you." Wang Wu got his permission and hurriedly ran to continue explaining to the passing villagers.Seeing him like this, after observing him for a while and seeing that there is nothing wrong with him, he let go of his heart and secretly reflected on himself. He didn't learn anything else well, and he unconsciously learned the ability to draw big cakes.

Only then did she have time to recall the idlers who were scurrying around in the crowd just now, Xu Xiu murmured: "Yizhimei, where are you?"

Without the hands behind the scenes, everything is inconvenient.
