high official

Chapter 161

Lao Mi ignored Wang Xian and went back to the county government angrily, asking Zheng Jiaoyu to be called to tell him the disaster relief arrangements in the mansion.

Zheng Jiaoyu's scalp went numb and said, "How can you agree to such a thing?"

"I have resisted desperately." The old face of Mizhi County was full of pain and said: "But the official rank is crushing people, if I persist, the surname Su will have to suspend me and let someone else act Pujiang, isn't it more troublesome?"

"Why did Prefect Su do this?" Zheng Jiaoyu frowned and said, "It's not like his usual behavior."

"Haven't you seen it yet..." Mi Zhixian closed his eyes, his throat trembled and said with difficulty: "The imperial court wants to take this opportunity to attack the iron plate of Pujiang County!"

"So..." Zheng Jiaoyu's complexion changed drastically: "The imperial court really has doubts about Pujiang?"

"It must be so..." Mi Zhixian's eye circles were red, and his body trembled slightly. He hurriedly took out the jug and took two sips, calming down and said: "We were fooled, thinking that the imperial court sent Wang Xian to find someone. It's just a cover! While our attention is on him, he has already laid a net!"

Zheng Jiaoyu was deeply regretful when he heard the words. At the beginning, because he couldn't figure out Wang Xian's details, Mr. Zheng, who was overly cautious, ordered his family to calm down and stop activities for the time being, so he gave the court an opportunity...

"No, hurry up and tell Master to transfer!" Zheng Jiaoyu got up in a panic and said.

"Don't make a decision in a panic." Mi Zhixian shook his head and regained his composure. "Now the court is at most suspicious, otherwise the people who come will not be refugees, but the army. And the purpose of the court is probably to scare the snake and make us panic. Time to send the master to transfer, so as to crash into their net!"

"This..." Zheng Jiaoyu thought about it, and stood firm: "What do you mean?"

"You tell the old man, please be calm." Mizhi County said in a deep voice: "The Zheng family is the 'first family in the south of the Yangtze River' conferred by the Taizu. Make sure that Master is hiding in Zheng's house, and he must act in secret, otherwise he will not be able to face the world if the matter is leaked." After a pause, he said: "So although the imperial court has thousands of troops, they will not set foot on the Pujiang River. To divide the land, we will only send eagle dogs like Jin Yiwei to secretly investigate."

"Hmm." Zheng Jiaoyu calmed down a bit after hearing the words: "You are right, if it's just a secret fight, we won't be afraid."

"Well." Mi Zhixian nodded and said: "As long as the master doesn't move, no one will find him. And the court is not sure, so it won't act rashly. At this time, it must not be chaotic. If there is a chaotic situation, big things will happen!" Said His complexion became solemn and he said: "Confucius said to be benevolent, Meng said to take righteousness, for the emperor you and I are not afraid of death, what else is there to be afraid of?"

"En." Zheng Jiaoyu nodded heavily, left the county office, and hurried back to Zhengzhai Town to discuss countermeasures with the old man.

.

In that room, Wang Xian also simply resettled the victims and returned to Xiya to rest for a while.

On the carriage, Xian Yun frowned and said: "How did this happen? Now the Zheng family must know everything."

"That's right," Wang Xian sighed, "You can see the unpredictable nature of people's hearts." The prefect of Su is obviously a trusted character by Zhou Jiantai, but he would act so pretentiously towards Lao Mi, probably because he secretly has a warning heart.

"If Prefect Su really wanted to warn..." Xianyun shuddered and said, "That would be terrible."

"Yes." Wang Xian nodded. The magistrate of the prefecture had known about that person's whereabouts for a long time, and he risked his family's execution without reporting it, but he didn't get any benefits at all... People's hearts are against each other. is the scariest!

Looking at the apparently chaotic street, the common people started queuing up to buy rice, and there was even looting, Xianyun asked in a low voice, "What if that person flees after hearing the news?"

"It's going to rain, and my mother wants to get married." Wang Xian said with a calm expression: "We are small characters, just do our best, why force the result?" He said with a wry smile: "Besides, we can't force it." of……"

"..." Xianyun didn't understand Wang Xian's thinking, he was relatively simple, he only knew that since he accepted the task, he could only succeed and not fail. "Until the last moment, you still can't give up lightly!"

"Yeah." Wang Xian nodded as a response.

Back in Xiya, the officer reported that the second master had come from his hometown.

When Wang Xian came to the living room, he saw a little fat man who was busy with the world, and he couldn't help being overjoyed: "Little fat, what wind brought you here!"

"I'm ashamed..." That little fat man was Wu Wei, he got up and saluted Wang Xian, and said with shame: "I lost my job in Fuyang, and ran to my lord in a fit of anger!"

"What's going on?!" How could Wang Xian care about Fuyang during this time?Hearing this, he asked in amazement, "Who broke your job?"

"Who else is there?" Wu Wei looked at Xianyun and heard Wang Xian say, "but it's okay to say it." Then he said in a muffled voice: "Jiang Xiancheng...Jiang County magistrate. After the elder and your lord leave Fuyang, the gang of squires will see When the opportunity came, he encouraged someone surnamed Jiang to overthrow all the new policies of the Elder Master and Your Excellency. He also sold the five thousand mu of terraced fields newly opened by the victims to rich households. It was in vain like this. I argued hard with him, but he beat me and dismissed my household secretary!" He gritted his teeth and said, "I was so angry that I came to sue my lord, and my lord must stop it. His perverse behavior!"

"Bastard!" Wang Xian was furious when he heard the words, "When I was in the county, I didn't see Jiang being so insidious!"

"The fox's tail is well hidden." Wu Wei said bitterly: "Actually, he and Mr. Diao are of the same breed. Without his nodding, Mr. Diao would not be able to do those things that are corrupt and perverted. When the old master is around, don't look at him." I obeyed my orders, I hated the Elder Master long ago, and now it's his turn to be in charge, so naturally they will all be overthrown!"

"Bastard! I'm going to chop him up and feed him to the dogs!" Thinking of the Fuyang New Deal that he worked so hard to create, it would be wiped out in an instant, Wang Xian's eyes were tearing apart, and he wished he could go back to Fuyang with a knife.

It's a pity that I can only talk about it, not to mention what time it is now, how could it be extraneous.Just say that the surname Jiang is now the Zhengyin of a county, and he is only a canon history of another county. How can he be wiped out if he is killed?

"My lord, calm down." Wu Wei, on the other hand, recovered his usual calmness after expressing his heart, and persuaded him: "This matter needs to be discussed in the long term..."

"The New Deal can't wait!" Wang Xian said sadly.

"The most urgent thing is for my lord to write a letter to the elder. Although the elder is now a minister, he can always find a way in Beijing to put pressure on the county." Wu Weidao: "And my lord's father, please let him stay in Hangzhou The government also thinks of ways, which are more impulsive than adults."

"Alas..." After talking and talking, Wang Xian was finally persuaded, and after writing letters to Wei Yuan and Wang Xingye, it was already dark.Wang Xian ordered someone to host a banquet for Wu Wei, but he persuaded him: "On the way here, I saw countless disaster victims pouring into the Pujiang River. I must have received the order for disaster relief. If you have a banquet at this time, you will inevitably provoke trouble." objection."

"It's still your consideration." Wang Xian was very relieved when he heard the words: "I'm really not used to you not being around during this time." After a pause, he pointed at Shuai Hui and said: "The two of them are loyal and reliable, but it's a pity that they didn't do their jobs in the early years. , I don’t even know how to read, so I’m in a hurry and can’t help you!”

"Your Excellency is too much." Wu Wei said to Wang Xian when he saw that the situation was about the same, "Actually, this subordinate also has the intention of fleeing here besides complaining. If Your Excellency does not take him in, this subordinate will be cornered."

"That's great." Shuai Hui said happily after hearing the words: "Little fat brother is here, we don't have to be scolded anymore."

"Isn't scolding you just to make you stronger?" Wang Xian glared at him and said, "I don't know what's good or bad!" But he didn't comment on Wu Wei's request. "Eat first, then talk after eating!"

Dinner is a simple four dishes and one soup, no alcohol.Wang Xian personally arranged a room for Wu Wei and asked him to go to bed early.Just as he was about to leave, Wu Wei stopped him and said, "Can you give me a clear answer, whether or not you will take your subordinates?"

"This..." Wang Xian said with a wry smile, "I wanted to think about it all night before answering you."

"Why bother?" Wu Wei's proud bones were itchy again, and he said lightly, "If it's inconvenient, I won't make it difficult for adults."

"It's not inconvenient." Wang Xian struggled for a while, then heaved a long sigh and said, "Oh, selfishly speaking, of course I want you to stay and help me, but... I can't harm you!"

"How could it hurt me?" Wu Wei asked puzzled.

"The situation on this side of the Pujiang River can be said to be extremely dangerous," Wang Xian said helplessly, "I'm already a fish in the bottom of the pot, so there's nothing I can do, but I can't let my brother get caught in it."

"What happened to make it so dangerous?" Wu Wei asked strangely, "Isn't Pujiang known for its clean and simple government affairs? Even if there are floods of disaster victims, it won't be more troublesome than Fuyang back then, right?!"

"Hehe, it would be nice if it was that simple..." Wang Xian said no longer: "In short, you don't need to get involved, and you don't need to know. Stay with me for two days, and go back after you rest." After finishing speaking Patting him on the shoulder, there were tears in the corners of his eyes and he said: "I also want you to take Shuaihui and Erhei back. If something goes wrong, I can't explain it to their family."

"Is this really the case? My lord!" Wu Wei said with wide eyes, "Is your life in danger?"

"Yes." Wang Xian nodded, turned around, and said in a low voice when he walked to the door: "My parents are big-hearted, so I'm not too worried. Only sister Lin, who failed to get married twice in a row, I'm afraid she will be hurt." No, you tell my mother, you must make the decision and find another good family for her..." After finishing speaking, he went out sadly, his back was so desolate.

Looking at the direction he was leaving, Wu Wei stood there for a long time, then slowly lowered his head after a while, rubbing his hands vigorously through his hair, as if it wasn't his head, but a mess.
