Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

Chapter 489

Although Wu Zhen felt that He Fengfeng and Fang Hubin had an accident because of their fooling around.

As a result, he was besieged by the villagers of Zhoujia Village.

When the situation was not good, these two guys simply lied about the military situation.

So that I can rescue them as soon as possible.

However, they are disciples of King Zhu Han after all.

No matter what, on the surface, after all, we still have to get by.

Therefore, Wu Zhen still pretended to ask: "Mr. He, Mr. Fang, have you really found the water source?"

Before He Yufeng could reply, Fang Hubin said excitedly: "Master Wu, it is finally a blessing to live up to his fate. My senior brother finally found the water source after many investigations."

"As long as you spend a little effort to water the surrounding fields, there is absolutely no problem."

Hearing this, before Wu Zhen said anything, the people in Zhoujia Village were already buzzing.

"Bah, these monsters are so shameless. They have the nerve to say they found water even though there isn't even a drop of water here."

"Master Prefect, please don't be fooled by these monsters. They are not looking for water at all."

The clan elder of Zhoujia Village also said tremblingly: "Master Magistrate, please make the decision for our Zhoujia Village!"

As he said that, he still tremblingly became expensive.

Even if this clan elder is just the most ordinary farmer.

But in this era, people in their 50s and [-]s are already considered old, and it is really rare to live to their [-]s and [-]s.

Even though Wu Zhen, the prefect, is a high-ranking official, if this elder suddenly gets excited when he talks, there will be something wrong in front of him...

Although it wasn't a big trouble, it was enough to worry Wu Zhen for a long time.

"You don't have to be like this, old man." Although Wu Zhen responded inwardly, he secretly scolded the old man for relying on his old age.

But on the surface, he didn't dare to show any slightness.

Alluding to the people next to him, he went to help the clan elder up.

At the same time, he made a majestic look: "Everyone, please rest assured that since I am here, I will definitely make decisions for you fellow villagers, and I will never let a bad person go."

Hearing Wu Zhen's words, the people of Zhoujia Village were extremely excited.

On the surface, Zhang Daxian was as grateful as the common people, as if Wu Zhen, the prefect, was really here to make decisions for the people.

But in fact, I don't think so.

Having been a shopkeeper for most of my life, I know too well the twists and turns of these officials.

Wu Zhen's words are very beautiful, why make decisions for the people, and why not let a bad person go.

But the question is, who is the bad guy?
In the eyes of those common people, he, Zhang Daxian, is a bad person, and neither He Fengfeng nor Fang Hubin are good people...

Do not!
Probably, they are not good monsters.

But in Wu Zhen's eyes, that's not the case at all.

Although these shopkeepers and yamen servants have never been looked down upon by the magistrate.

But when facing these ordinary people, they can barely be regarded as their own.

As for He Fengyu and Fang Hubin, they had a teacher from the prince.

If necessary, Wu Zhen, the magistrate, could sacrifice them without hesitation to protect He Fengfeng and Fang Hubin.

But no matter what the situation is, it's good to listen to Wu Zhen's words, if you take them seriously, you will lose.

Unlike Zhang Daxian, the people of Zhoujia Village don't understand these twists and turns.

Although in this era, the imperial court has little credibility in the eyes of the people.

However, for a magistrate like Wu Zhen to come to the common people in person, it is quite a big deal for them.

Not to mention, Wu Zhen was so kind to them.

These people were even more excited.

Wu Zhen is very speechless now: "It's a monster again."

Do you know that if you don't say anything, your strange power will confuse your spirit?
How could monsters exist?

It is these village fools who believe He Fengyu's lies.

Wu Zhen didn't even understand why these people believed his words so firmly?

Now is not the time to talk about these things, Wu Zhen is more concerned about whether He Fengfeng and the others' so-called finding the water source is true or not.

The sharp eyes were on He Fengfeng and Fang Hubin.

After all, Wu Zhen is a magistrate, and Wu Zhen, who occupies a high position, naturally has an aura of calmness and prestige.

The reason why he seemed approachable before was simply because with Wu Zhen's status, he no longer needed to use his official position to suppress others.

In many cases, their attitude towards those inferiors is even very kind.

It is precisely because of this that there is a saying that the king of hell is good at seeing little devils.

But this doesn't mean that Wu Zhen is really that kind of temperless good old man.

It is impossible for such a good old man to sit in the position of prefect.

So once Wu Zhen put on a serious face and put on his official authority, it would be quite scary.

He Fengyu was fine, Fang Hubin, an honest person, suddenly saw this scene, and his legs trembled a little.

Even though he had met Zhu Han many times, he was considered a knowledgeable person.

But because of the older age, some habits in the bones are really not so easy to change.

"Big...big big, sir...us."

Wu Zhen's voice was terrifyingly deep: "Mr. Fang, I want to hear your truth. Have you really found the water source?"

"This matter is related to the safety of all the people in Datong, and it is not something that can be joked casually."

"If you can't find it, I don't want to force it. After all, there is not much water in the whole territory of Datong Fuqiang now."

"Even the water level of Yuhe River is more than two-thirds lower than before."

"In this case, not being able to find water is not an unforgivable thing."

"But if you still make something out of nothing when you know it doesn't exist, that would be a bit too deceptive."

Wu Zhen's words were hard but soft, which could be regarded as giving Zhu Han enough face.

If He Fengfeng and Fang Hubin were not Zhu Han's disciples, Wu Zhen would have had them dragged out and chopped up based on the two of them lying about the military situation, so why talk so much nonsense to them?
It's just that Wu Zhen never imagined that these two disciples of His Highness King Ying really had the ability to find water.

After all, the knowledge mastered by both parties is not in the same era at all.

Du Fang Hubin, who was still terrified at first, calmed down after hearing Wu Zhen's words.

The originally flustered expression suddenly disappeared, and the back straightened all of a sudden, like a sharp sword, straight into the sky: "Master Zhifu, the two of us are not lying, we have indeed found the source of water."

Wu Zhenren was confused. What the hell is going on?
Do these two guys understand what the current situation is?

For the sake of His Majesty the King, he gave them opportunities again and again and helped them turn things around again and again.

As long as they go downhill, he can make up any reason to take people away.

Wu Zhen thought that he had done his best, but he couldn't stand these two guys, and he really didn't know what to do.

At this point, you still dare to lie.

it is good!
Since they dare to die, Wu Zhen will bury them.

He, Wu Zhen, the magistrate of Datong, was sent to search for water sources with the two white men.

Although Wu Zhen is the leader of this matter in name, anyone who is not blind can see that He Fengfeng and Fang Hubin are the ones who really have the final say.

The dignified magistrate, listen to the leadership of the two white men.

Even if it happened for a reason, even if there were all kinds of reasons, Wu Zhen couldn't be angry at all.

It was just because he had indeed taken a wrong step, so he had to act according to King Zhu Han's orders.

But this does not mean that He Fengfeng and Fang Hubin can do whatever they want.

Just treat him as the magistrate of Datong as a gunman.

The anger in Wu Zhen's heart completely exploded at this moment.

"Okay! Since the two gentlemen said that they found water, the government will see it today. How did the two gentlemen conjure up water out of thin air in such a dry place!"

Wu Zhen was really angry. Otherwise, if He Fengyu and Fang Hubin were really just talking nonsense, the impact on him would also be considerable.

What surprised Wu Zhen was that after he said these words, He Fengyu and Wu Zhen seemed secretly relieved.

This situation shocked Wu Zhen's heart suddenly, and he secretly speculated: "What does this mean? Why are these two people not panicking at all? Could it be that they can really find water?"

As soon as this idea arose in Wu Zhen's mind, he suppressed it himself.

This is absolutely impossible.

In the current Datong Mansion, even grabbing a handful of soil by the river is maddening, let alone the fields far away from the river bank.

The reason why the seedlings here are still alive is that the people in Zhoujia Village are carrying buckets of water to the Yu River to irrigate under the scorching sun, so that the current results can be achieved.

This is why the people of Zhoujia Village were so angry when they found out that they were going to close their fields.

Even this piece of farmland that was about to die was watered little by little by dragging their tired bodies to the river to fetch water every day.

Wu Zhen's words caused some commotion among the people in Zhoujia Village.

"My lord, you must not believe what they say."

"That's right, my lord, it's impossible for these monsters to find the water source, they are just using some kind of magic."

"If there is water here, how can the dealer die?"

"If water can really come out here, I'll eat all the manure in the field on the spot."

If Zhu Han is here, Gao Low will find out the guy who said this, and see if he can really fulfill his promise.

This era is not the future, there are many chemical fertilizers.

At this time, there is only one thing used for composting, the legendary Yoneda Kyo.

Then we’ll see if this guy really knows how to eat.

Fortunately, Zhu Han is not here, and there is no one to compete with this kind of person at this time.

Wu Zhen said in a deep voice: "Dear blind daters, please rest assured that as long as I am here, I will not let these monsters do whatever they want."

"However, since these monsters dare to say that they can find the water source, let them have a try."

"If it fails, there will be no loss to our Zhoujia Village."

"If it succeeds, wouldn't it be a beautiful thing?"

The dignified magistrate said so, and the people of Zhoujia Village looked at each other for a while, and no one dared to raise any objections.

Even the clan elder of Zhoujia Village said hesitantly: "In this case, the people of my Zhoujia family will all rely on the prefect."

Wu Zhen's performance during this drought seemed to be quite impressive.

But this really can't be entirely blamed on Wu Zhen. In this era, the resistance to natural disasters is so fragile.

Before the drought in Datong Prefecture, Wu Zhen's official reputation had always been good.

In fact, all the famous officials in this era have caught up with the good times.

With Zhu Han, the traveler, Daming's overall productivity has been increasing rapidly.

Moreover, after the founding of Daming, it has never stopped expanding.

At this time, the daimyo officials were like pigs standing in the wind.

As long as they are not real idiots, they don't even need to have outstanding abilities, they can make a lot of political achievements.

Because the Ming Dynasty as a whole has been developing, the quality of life of the people is naturally getting better day by day.

This is an improvement brought about by the whole, and has little to do with the ability of an official to govern the place.

It is nothing more than that officials with strong ability can govern a little bit better, and officials with poor ability can govern a little bit worse.

Therefore, Wu Zhen's reputation in Datong Mansion is really quite good.

After he spoke, the clan elders of Zhoujia Village also directly stated: "I am willing to listen to the orders of the magistrate."

People from other Zhou Family Village also nodded.

"Although I don't believe in those monsters, I believe in the prefect."

Another person whispered: "I'm afraid that the magistrate will also be deceived by those monsters."

However, the voice of doubt quickly disappeared without a trace.

In the absence of despair, ordinary people will try their best to avoid conflicts with officials.

After appeasing the people in Zhoujia Village, Wu Zhen's attention returned to He Fengyu and Fang Hubin.

"Okay gentlemen, now let me see how you got the water."

This was the first time that Wu Zhen showed the pride of a scholar and a scholar-bureaucrat in front of the two of them.

Even a dull person like Fang Hubin can feel that kind of arrogance and contempt.

Originally, Fang Hubin and Wu Zhen still liked him very much.

After all, the dignified prefect was so polite to them.

Fang Hubin, who was originally an ordinary person, avoided the feeling of being taken seriously.

It doesn't matter anything else, but Fang Hubin is very dissatisfied with Wu Zhen's attitude at this time.

Their abilities were all inherited from His Royal Highness King Zhu Han.

Although there are many things, Zhu Han did not teach them by himself.

But this knowledge comes from His Royal Highness after all.

But what they have learned is to question His Royal Highness.

The King of England not only gave them a place to live, but also gave them the ability to settle down and live.

In their hearts, it is like the existence of gods.

Even a magistrate like Wu Zhen would never allow one of him, His Royal Highness the King of England.

"My lord, please be patient and don't be impatient. We will demonstrate it for you right now." Fang Hubin said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.

It looked as if the person in front of him was not the high-ranking Datong prefect, but just an ordinary person.
