Yin Fu Daojun

Chapter 48
At this time, Xie Duan came to the gate of the outer courtyard with the master master. At first glance, there were twenty or thirty local people blocking the gate, including simple peasants, women, children and the elderly, all clustered together.

Noisy and angry, they didn't calm down until they saw Lord Bo come out, and an old man among them spoke first.

"My lord, do you still remember the old man?"

He was sticking a cane, facing the Master Registrar and arching his hands.

"Uncle Yang is the elder of the clan, how could my nephew not know him?"

Seeing the old man, the master secretary hurriedly saluted him.

If you want to say who is the largest clan in Changshan County, it must be the Changshan Yang family. In the entire county, almost a quarter of the people are surnamed Yang.

Moreover, there are many officials in the Yang family, such as the Lord Registrar.

The County Registrar of this county is the seventh generation grandson of the collateral line of the Yang family.

The old man in front of him, whose real name was Yang Fengxian, was in the same generation as his dead father in terms of seniority, and he was one of several elders of the direct line.

Now that he has come in person, it seems that the matter is not easy to solve.

"It's rare that Master Bo still remembers my old bones. Since that's the case, I won't beat around the bush! This time, I was entrusted by my neighbors in the county to ask for an explanation about the government's opening of a charity warehouse to release food and help foreign refugees. , I also hope that the master will learn from you!"

Yang Fengxian did not hesitate, and said bluntly at the moment.

The Master Master smiled awkwardly, and bowed his hands again.

"Old uncle misunderstood! Although my nephew is in charge of the money and granary store, if there is no order from above, how dare my nephew open the warehouse to release grain without permission? Moreover, this matter was approved by the county sheriff. It is a meritorious deed to release refugees. Why do you need to work so hard?"

As soon as he said these words, the people present immediately clamored.

"We have worked so hard and been busy for many years to accumulate this reserve food, and now we are giving it to others without reservation?"

"Exactly! The war in the north is tight, and taxes have been levied twice in just half a year, not to mention! In recent years, the cost of income has not been good. Once something happens in this county, it will be a disaster! These reserves in the righteous warehouse Food, but it is everyone's life-saving food."

"To show mercy and do good deeds, you have to take care of yourself first! It is really a great official authority to use our life-saving food to help others!"

……

"Silence, silence! Everyone stop arguing."

Seeing that something was wrong with the atmosphere, Yang Fengxian quickly spoke out to control it.

They came here to ask for an explanation, and they just wanted to settle the matter properly. If there was a commotion, it would be their own side who didn't make any sense.

Fortunately, his prestige is still quite high in people's minds. As soon as he said this, everyone present suppressed their anger and became quiet.

"My lord, you have your own difficulties, and everyone has everyone's difficulties. This old man is naturally clear in his heart, but since you are in charge of this, you should understand the stakes."

"The county sheriff and the county magistrate, someone has already gone to ask for an explanation. The reason why we came here is to guard the righteous warehouse. Before a solution is found, no one is allowed to use the food in the righteous warehouse to release food. I don't know. How do you like it?"

Speaking of this, the Master Registrar was also a little panicked.

"Folks, folks, this is not going to happen! I understand everyone's feelings, but the government has the rules of the government and cannot be broken!"

Seeing that the enthusiasm of the group of people was high, he couldn't help persuading them again and again.

"Simply opening warehouses to release relief, why are the people so resentful? My lord! May I ask what method you use to release relief?"

Xie Duan stood aside and looked at the crowd, feeling a little weird.

Even if it is used by someone with a heart, at most it is to make a fuss and ask for some compensation. It should not have such a big resentment against the government.

Even interfering with official duties is tantamount to rebellion.

Seeing that Xie Duan asked from the side, the Master Registrar was too busy to appease everyone and couldn't explain in detail, so he just answered casually.

"It's nothing more than porridge and food, and food is given according to the degree of suffering."

Hearing this sentence, Xie Duan blinked and frowned.

"Why not work for relief?"

"Relief with work? I've never heard of it. What do you mean?"

The Master Registrar looked puzzled and seemed very puzzled.

Seeing his reaction, Xie Duan suddenly realized and understood.

"Folks, don't make trouble anymore! Just listen to me."

He stepped up to the Master Master and spoke loudly.

"You are all neighbors of this county, simple and unpretentious farmers. Farmers value food more than their own lives, and are unwilling to give away the fruits of their labor. I understand this truth!"

"It's just that natural disasters are ruthless, but people are merciful! The refugees outside the city are in great trouble. We have the ability to help them. They will remember them forever! Just imagine, if this kind of thing happens to you one day, Do you want someone to help you too?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone couldn't help but look at each other in blank dismay.

"Who are you? You speak better than you sing!"

One of the strong men faced Xie Duan and asked a straightforward question.

"Xie Duan, I'm just a scholar, but I'm here to solve problems for everyone! I think you're here just to ask for an explanation and resolve this matter properly, and you don't want to rebel!"

In the face of these honest people, using power and force to suppress them will only arouse public anger, so it is best to appease them.

"All in all, please rest assured, and please give me three days to wait patiently. The government has already thought of a solution. After three days, I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation."

Right now, many people are looking at him, and they are dubious about this.

"Why should we trust you? It's not because we want to delay time!"

The strong man continued.

Xie Duan looked at the person who spoke and smiled, showing both grace and power.

"If the government intends to take measures, is there any need to delay?"

At the same time, the Lord Master who was standing aside also spoke.

"You folks, you can rest assured that Mr. Xie is a relative of my lord. He can completely replace the county magistrate and give you a guarantee! Please stop causing trouble and disperse quickly."

Seeing that the conversation between the two of them has come to this point, several people are talking about it, and some are at a loss.

Yang Fengxian thought for a moment, and felt that this statement was reasonable. Since the other party made a concession, if they refused to give in, it might backfire.

"Since the Master Registrar has given you a guarantee, then we naturally believe it! Neighbors, give the old man some face and go home now! If no solution is implemented after three days, it's not too late for everyone to come back and ask for an explanation."

It has to be said that Yang Fengxian's words are much more effective than those of the officials. As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone immediately agreed with him.

Although the people fear the government, they don't trust the government.

Things have come to this point, in fact, both parties are somewhat responsible.

"Okay! Since Mr. Yang has spoken, we will give you three days. I hope you can find a way."

"Let's go, everyone! Let's go!"

……

After the people had dispersed, the Master Master also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thanks to Young Master Xie for breaking the siege today, it's just that Young Master Xie promised within three days, I'm afraid it won't be too long! After three days, if the matter is not properly handled, it may arouse public anger."

He still thinks that what Xie Duan just said is just to delay time.

"Don't worry, Master Registrar. Since I said that there is a way to solve this matter, there must be a way! Let's hurry back to the county office now. I guess the situation there will not be much better than ours here."

Xie Duan immediately went out with a relaxed look on his face.
