Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 898 Good governance

   Being accused by a young child is a very embarrassing thing.

   But precisely, Liu Jian is a man of dignity.

   And still in front of the emperor.

  The most depressing thing is, obviously being refuted by a child, but this... is really a child. If you were someone else, you could still ask a few words aggressively, but he is a child, do you have the nerve to become angry?

  Liu Jian's face was slightly red, but he kept smiling and didn't say a word.

  He wants to show that he is very generous.

  Fang Jifan was on the side, but he couldn't help being happy. He liked Zhu Zaimo, he was such a good boy, especially seeing Liu Jian's deflated appearance, Fang Jifan felt extraordinarily at ease.

  Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but said in a doting but angry tone: "Zai Mo, don't be unreasonable."

Zhu Zaimo nodded obediently: "Yes, but..." He laughed, and his eyelids arched like a crescent moon: "But father, I thought that Dingxing County would be safe and sound. Master Liu is too worried."

  He thought for a while, and said, "I can assure Daddy."

   "Why." Liu Jian couldn't hold back anymore.

Zhu Zaimo thought for a while: "I don't know what to say, but I just know that there will never be any troubles. Maybe after a few days, I can think of how to answer. Please rest assured, Father and Master Liu, everything will be safe It's nothing. If you don't believe me, that's fine..."

  Fang Jifan was overjoyed by the side.

  Zhu Zaimo continued: "If there is any trouble there, you can arrest little brother Fang Zhengqing and spank his ass, he is my brother and best friend!"

   "..."

  Fang Jifan's face suddenly pulled down.

  I actually feel that my heart is so bored, I have committed a crime, I have committed a crime, my Zhengqing has eaten your rice, who wants to be friends with you.

   That brat Zhengqing is worthless, go back and beat him up.

  Zhu Zaimo was also a little anxious.

  He seemed to want to reason, but he was a child after all, but he didn't know how to explain it, so he scratched his head and said, "Master Liu, how about we make a bet?"

   "This..." Liu Jian smiled and shook his head. We are not in the same rank at all, the old man bet with you?

  Zhu Zaimo said: "In short, just be at ease."

  Liu Jian thought to himself, the grandson of the emperor seems to be eager to express himself.

  A child is a child, always wishing to be recognized by the whole world.

  He had no choice but to comfort Zhu Zaimo: "Yes, yes, yes, the old minister is relieved."

  Emperor Hongzhi shook his head: "Okay, I will take the emperor's grandson to Renshou Palace, and you will step down."

  Fang Jifan was in a hurry to say goodbye, and ran away in a hurry.

  …

  In Dingxing County, a large number of people disguised as wealthy businessmen, passing business travelers, and even refugees and beggars began to gather.

  In case of emergency, Xiao Jing personally directed.

  This place is not far from the capital, what His Majesty values ​​is what Xiao Jing cares most about.

  In order to show his loyalty, he went to Dingxing County in plain clothes.

at this time…

  Dingxing County is peaceful.

   and countless Dongchang Fanzi and Jinyiwei Tiqi are already dark waves surging.

  Jin Yiwei Xiaoqi Lin Feng was trembling, and bowed at Xiao Jing's feet.

  He is just a small flag officer, insignificant in Jinyiwei.

  The person in front of him, even his boss's boss, Jin Yiwei Commander Mou Bin, is controlled by Dongchang.

  Xiao Jing folded his hands behind his back and squinted his eyes.

  Lin Feng reported tremblingly: "Ancestor, in the past few days, I have heard that many gentry are already complaining. It seems that they are secretly mobilizing many people to surround the county government..."

   "Wei county government office?" The flesh on Xiao Jing's face twitched: "Isn't this making trouble?"

"It's not really a rebellion. I'm humble. Nine times out of ten, they want to use incitement to surround the county government and put pressure on Ouyang Zhi. It is said that someone has secretly agreed that tomorrow at 3:00 a.m. Afterwards, we will gather at the county government... At that time, once Ouyang Zhi can't control the situation, we will have to invite these gentry to relax..."

  Xiao Jing squinted his eyes, so it was so.

  The gentry are good at hiding behind and using public opinion to put pressure on the government, and finally come out as a peacemaker. It seems that these gentry really can't stand Ouyang Zhi, so they simply have a big vote.

  But...thinking about it...there won't be too much trouble, because their purpose, after all, is to make Ouyang Zhi submit, not...rebellion.

  Xiao Jing put his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "Really?"

   "Old Ancestor, look, are you taking people directly tonight?"

   "What are you doing with people?" Xiao Jing looked at Xiaoqi Lin Feng with contempt: "Are they making trouble? Taking people for no reason, causing anger and resentment, shall we bury Ouyang Zhi with him?"

"this…"

  Xiao Jing said coldly: "Mobilize all the forces that can be mobilized, and arrange them near the county government. Don't do it lightly. As long as these people are not making trouble, let them go."

Xiao Jing sat down: "It is said that Ouyang Zhi is a talent, we also admire him very much, we just want to see how he handles this matter, this place is different from the temple, above the temple, it is more or less reasonable ..."

  He said, sat down, and took a sip of tea: "But... there must be a bottom line, that is, there must be no trouble!"

  …

   Liu Ji hurried into the guarding eunuch's row.

   "Daddy, daddy..."

  Liu Jin was eating edamame. The edamame was cooked and sprinkled with salt, it tasted extra refreshing.

  Of course, this is not the most important thing. The important thing is that I have eaten too much meat recently. Eating edamame can digest it.

  Liu Jinhu sat down with a grimace, and immediately saw Liu Ji come in and fell to the ground.

   "Dad, there is new news."

"Say."

   "Tomorrow...someone will go to the county government to cause trouble. Many big households have secretly colluded with each other. The participating gentry include almost all the big families...it is said...they have already incited the ignorant people, and by then..."

   "Oh." Liu Jin nodded while eating: "What else?"

  Liu Ji was speechless, such an important matter...just one sentence?

  …

   Early the next morning.

  Xiao Jing got up early in the morning. He wore a merchant's clothes, took a carriage directly, and arrived at a tea shop opposite the county government.

  Under the protection of several guards, he went up to the second floor, found a seat by the window, sat down, picked up the teacup, and slowly sipped the tea.

In the vicinity of the county government office, Xiao Jing can see from a condescending bird's-eye view that there are many street vendors and pedestrians of various colors appearing in many alleys and streets. The people who went to the factory guard.

There are more than 900 people scattered here, weapons are also prepared, all of them are hidden in the cart by the side of the road, as long as Xiao Jing throws the teacup here, the signal will be sent out immediately, after that, the school captains and Tiqi from all directions , they will flock to the storage points of weapons everywhere, ready to quell the chaos at any time.

  Of course...the premise of all this is...those who regard Ouyang Zhi as a thorn in their side, don't go too far.

   At this time, the morning sun rises.

   Xiao Jing smiled, looking at the county government with a half-smile.

   "Grandpa, it's quarter three..."

  The sky is already slightly bright.

   Logically speaking, this time should have been the time for the gentry to use all their power to incite the ignorant people.

But…

  On the street, it was still deserted.

  Xiao Jing narrowed his eyes, curled his fingers, and tapped the table lightly, making a clicking sound, just a beat, but it became more and more urgent according to his mood.

Da da da…

   "Here we come." A captain bowed to Xiao Jing's ear.

  Xiao Jing stood up with his hands behind his back, walked along the railing, and saw a few seven or eight people coming from the street in the distance.

  Seven or eight people?

  The seven or eight people also seemed at a loss, looking around.

  One of them said: "Brother Zeng, didn't the young master of the Yang family say that there will be a huge crowd of people here, and as long as we make a fuss, we will have a good life?"

   "Shut up, you!" Brother Zeng was also pale, and he felt intrusive. Why is there no one? He lowered his voice and said: "Young master of the Yang family, we don't recognize the young master of the Yang family, do you want to die? You, if we come here to express our feelings, it means that the common people will not be able to survive. Please master Qingtian make the decision. But if we We all know Young Master Yang, this is collusion and chaos, Dali said it is called ulterior motives, Xiaoli said it is also picking quarrels and provoking trouble!"

  He looked left and right...

   people...

  Seven or eight people walked tremblingly.

   I'm getting less and less confident.

  When I first came, I was very confident.

  They knew even more that in this densely packed alley, there were many people dressed as shopkeepers sitting on the roadside.

  Factory guards have put in so much effort, with more than 900 people, the scale is unprecedented, almost the biggest operation in recent years.

  But now...it's just a few young people who are taking the lead.

  And these little guys, the closer they are to the county government, the colder they feel.

   Several people arrived at the gate of the county government office.

  The gate of the county government office was opened as usual.

Brother Zeng's face turned green. When he saw someone wanting to kneel at the gate of the county government office and started howling, he immediately lowered his head and walked with his lips twitching: "Don't act rashly, don't act rashly, if something goes wrong, you are a demon, don't kneel, don't kneel , something is going to happen, something big is going to happen."

   Immediately afterwards, a few people dawdled, under the scrutiny of the guards at the door, they pretended to be nothing, and continued on their way.

  …

  Xiao Jing's pupils contracted.

  Damn it.

   No wonder the message is wrong?

  Damn it!

  With a gloomy face, he said, "Take the binoculars."

  The binoculars were delivered, and Xiao Jing held them up, observing every nearby street, still... very deserted, completely invisible, there was a slight difference.

  Busy?

  …

  Brother Zeng and a few others were still walking slowly, with a hesitant look on their faces.

  But at this moment, someone ran towards him quickly.

   It seems that this person knows Brother Zeng.

  Brother Zeng cheered up when he saw an acquaintance: "Why are you running?"

The man's face turned red with excitement: "Recruitment, recruitment, hurry up, if you are late, it will be too late, I am going home and calling my brother, hurry up, do a day job, thirty dollars a day, a day Knot!"

  ...

  Thanks to the local tyrant for the reward of 60,000 starting coins, and more!
