Chapter 382: Each One Flies Away in the Face of Great Trouble

After half an hour or so, the people in this rainy night were trampling through the mud and splitting up into groups.

The night passed, the rain has stopped, this wet dock, as if there was no trace of last night, even if many people stepped through the mud left behind the footsteps, but also by people drove hundreds of boarding the boat is about to be sold to the capital of the sheep, to step on a broken.

Zhang Anshi, on the other hand, was given a copy of the report at the county office.

In the report, all the arrangements were sent from various places.

People from all over the place, apparently, are already in place.

And now seven days have passed.

Seven days is plenty of time.

Zhang Anshi was relaxed at this time instead, after many years in the Jin Yi Wei, his greatest fear was that the process of setting up would be wrong.

As for the time to do it, he instead felt much more relaxed, because the officials and soldiers to catch thieves, traditionally ten against one, usually there will not be any bad.

Zhu Yong had arrived with a tired face by now, “Big brother, it’s all done.”

Zhang Anshi nodded: “Properly that is good, then …… do it.”

“Yes.” When Zhu Yong heard this, he didn’t nag about anything and turned around.

Chen Jinye, who was sitting on the sidelines, trembled with fear.

As soon as Zhu Yong left, he couldn’t help but say, “The Governor’s arrangement is ……”

Zhang Anshi looked up at him, “You really want to know, don’t regret it if you do.”

These seven or eight days, Chen Jinye daily at Zhang Anshi’s side, is also familiar with, he pondered for a moment, like made up his mind: “I both coercion, but also hope that the governor do not begrudge the information.”

Zhang Anshi: “It’s simple, it’s a test of humanity.”

Chen Jinye said, “Can this …… Governor be made clear.”

Zhang Anshi said, “Don’t you readers often say that to punish without teaching is to abuse? His Majesty is the father of the king, the father of all people in the world, and when his sons make mistakes, then give them a chance to see if they know what it means to stop in moderation.”

Chen Jinye roughly heard a little something, but he did not ask about the details, just felt that at this time the heart poofed.

Zhang Anshi smiled, “By the same token, His Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and when the Son of Heaven acts, he naturally has to follow the rules, and without rules there is no circle, and now it depends, on who wants to break the rules.”

Chen Jinye said, “My humble servant only wants to ask if the wrongdoers that the Governor is talking about will return to their rightful place?”

“It depends on themselves, but …… I don’t have much confidence in them, otherwise, there is no need to use the model battalion, just the brocade guards will be sufficient.”

Chen Jinye raised his head and stared at Zhang Anshi, finally, he held his red face and sighed long, “How did things come to this point, if …… they but a little less greed, it should not be such a result.”

Zhang Anshi shook his head, “How is this possible?”

Chen Jinye said, “How is it impossible?”

Zhang Anshi said, “Did Magistrate Chen really read stupidly?”

Chen Jinye: “……”

Zhang Anshi said, “In order to gain benefits, how many fathers and sons and brothers have to turn against each other, and how many, in order to fight for a few feet of land, it can be a lawsuit, and even decades can be let people do not communicate with each other, do you think that those people, read a few lines of the Four Books and Five Classics, claiming to be a gentleman, can be really transcendent?”

Chen Jinye said awkwardly, “It may not be the case for everyone.”

Zhang Anshi sighed, “Has Magistrate Chen ever wondered why some people are able to be rich and have thousands of acres of good land?”

Chen Jinye said, “Since the ancestors ……”

Zhang Anshi interrupted him, “I’ll be blunt, as if the merchants, merchants are born for profit, the only thing they are thinking about, is to make their hands of silver continue to increase in value, you look at those merchants, is not their family business is not big enough? But they still run around every day, still still think they earn not enough, it is because there is such an attempt to heart, only to achieve today’s these rich ah.”

“By the same token, let’s say those squires in your county, isn’t it so, once this railroad is repaired, such a big benefit, others offer such a high price, people earn hundreds of taels for an acre of land, thousands of taels of silver, you earn ten taels and eight taels, what will be the final result?”

“This ……”

Zhang Anshi calmly, analyzed him: “The end result is that other friends and relatives will laugh at him, his clan will beat their chests and denounce him as a loser, the terrible thing is that the other gentry take this opportunity to get a large amount of wealth, and complete the annexation of more land, and this person, still have to rely on tenant rents to make a living, and then to his next generation, the former and his brother and sister gentry, the size of the land has been three times, five times, ten times, and even can directly and the governor drink wine every day, he and those people, the status is no longer equal. He is the same as a brother and sister of the scholar-gentry, the size of the land has been three times, five times, ten times, and even has been directly and the governor of the daily drinking, he and those people, the status is no longer equal.”

“Do you know the consequences of not being equal?” Zhang Anshi gazed at Chen Jinye and smiled.

Chen Jinye lowered his head and said nothing.

“Such a person, it seems to hold fast to the so-called modest gentleman’s style, but in fact, it is laughed at and despised, even his future children may also because he is not greedy enough, not bold enough, and ultimately suffered from the pain of the family’s decline. More wealth and land, not just greater affluence, but also means …… greater resistance to risk, let me ask you, encountered a disaster year, there are hundreds of acres of land of people may be overnight penniless, but there are thousands of acres, 10,000 acres of good land of people? The so-called squire family in your eyes, on the surface of the daily reading of the holy book, but in fact, but all in a race, every family, do not dare to stop, much less turn back, only to continue to sprint forward, to get rid of the people around you, in order to let the family prosper forever.”

“You have read history, and since you have, then you should know that historically, it has always been the case that land is annexed, and then more and more is annexed, and those who don’t annex fast enough will eventually be eliminated. But how can you annex more land and clutch more wealth?”

“According to my view ah, not all people do not understand, own this land price, really black heart, also not do not know, they do this, will cause what consequences. Only …… they have to do so, as if there are profiteering right in front of their eyes, merchants and businessmen will not speak the same thing as benevolence and justice.”

“The only difference between them and the merchants lies in the fact that the merchants’ favorable words are in their mouths, while they are more shameless, with their mouths being modest and ungrateful that way, but their hands are more ruthless and vicious.”

Chen Jinye shook his head and opened his mouth to say something, but when the words reached his mouth, he ran out of words.

Zhang Anshi said faintly, “Wait and see.”

Jiujiang Warehouse.

A team of school captains suddenly appeared.

A dozen people appeared straight at the gate of the government storehouse, and the officer in front of the gate was just about to make a remark.

Then one of the chief banners at the head took out his belt plate and shouted, “Stand down.”

Once this officer saw this waist plate, see these people in a fish suit, one eye over the top appearance, then has been surprised.

So, in a hurry, he took a few steps back and paid his respects.

This chief flag, however, did not say much, and with a wave of his hand, the lieutenants at the back swarmed up and set up guard posts directly.

The Chief Banner said to the errand boy, “Where is the warehouse messenger?”

“It’s in the inside duty room.”

Without saying a word, the Chief Banner pressed the knife into the barn.

A few moments later, there were cries of alarm.

But it was the Kura ambassador in charge of this place who said, “What …… is this about?”

“By decree.” The Chief Banner said indifferently, “From today onwards, the government warehouse will be taken over by the Southern Zhenfu Division, the handover will now begin, hand over all the accounts, and you can leave after the delivery.”

This Cang ambassador heard, his face changed greatly, and for a moment he stammered in his speech, “No, it must not be so …… so ah …… this …… this …… this how before did not Inform …… me …… me …… my …… subordinate ……”

The Chief Banner snapped, “Those who resist the decree will be killed without pardon.”

At these words, the ambassador of this barn trembled and obediently delivered.

And then, in a puff of smoke, ran wildly toward the Jiujiang governor’s office.

In the lower counties, by and large, the same was true, and suddenly, there were jinyiwei who appeared and began to guard the warehouses directly, forbidding anyone to enter or leave, re-locking them, driving away all the servants, and setting up guard posts by the lieutenants.

It was all too fast, so fast that no one even reacted.

So much so that the Jiujiang Prefecture side, got the government library suddenly blocked the news, and hastened to inform the counties, but the counties of the report, but it is also an endless stream of reports sent to the fact that all the warehouses have been suddenly taken over by the Jinyiwei, forbidding all people in and out of the house, no one may ask.

This one …… really caught everyone off guard.

In this Jiujiang government office, all the people were like ants in a hot pot and began to go round and round.

Something big is going to happen.

…………

Chu Neng has long since arrived at Nanchangfu.

Here, he was rather warmly received.

He is an imperial envoy, and Liu Guan, the Minister of Rites, and Xu Qi, the Minister of Prefecture, accompanied him almost day and night.

On top of that, there were some local military generals from Jiangxi, who also came in droves.

Hearing that Zhu Neng liked to drink, at that moment, many aged wine was moved, Zhu Neng was delighted, and he drank and feasted with all the people every day, enjoying himself immensely.

Of course, the railroad thing he also asked one or two, Xu Qi personally played the report, explaining the situation.

And led Zhu Neng went to see the station set up in Nanchang Province, Zhu Neng saw, but did not ask too many questions, just constantly nodding: “Good, good, you and so dedicated with life, if His Majesty knows, must be pleased.”

Liu Guan laughed, then said: “Compared with the public master, the next official people, where there is no credit, the day before yesterday, Zhou Tongzhi said about the public master in the Jingdan deeds, really teach people to admire, if there is no public master brave champion of the three armies, this may not be able to succeed in the Jingdan.”

“Where are the words.” Zhu Neng waved his hand and said with a smile, “It’s all because of His Majesty’s holy wisdom.”

“Yes, yes.”

The crowd nodded.

“His Majesty is still waiting for me to hurry back to resume orders, such a big event, can not be delayed, just …… this Jiangxi is a good place, especially to see so many old friends, hey …… the wine here is also very good. ”

Liu Guan understood, “When will His Lordship move.”

“This is not easy to say ……” Zhu Neng hesitated for a moment: “As a matter of fact, what should be visited has been visited, it is time to go back to review the decree, but it is okay to stay for a few more days.”

He looked stumped.

Liu Guan said, “Why don’t you stay a few more days.”

Zhu Neng thought about it, but finally shook his head, “It’s just that, it’s better to go back early to resume orders, or else if His Majesty learns that I’m this brief, but he’ll be punished.”

The next day, Chu Neng departed for the capital.

Liu Guan led the civil and military forces of the province to see him off.

To the wharf, here in addition to Zhu Neng’s sitting boat, the rear actually has a few ships with the flag of the government on the top of the boat, those several boats full, the draft is not light.

Zhu Neng only swept a glance, without making a sound, and bid farewell to Liu Guan and the others, when he boarded the ship and went on the boat under the gaze of Liu Guan and the others.

When the boat was a few miles out, a squire said, “Your Excellency, in the back few boats, there are gifts.”

Zhu Neng, however, was sitting in the crow’s nest, dripping with cold sweat: “Into heck, that was close.”

“Master Gong …… this is ……”

Zhu Neng green face: “We almost walked in the netherworld, fortunately the old man clever. You this guy, is no color, I waited, this Jiangxi up and down, the civil and military are accompanied, do you think they really welcome old man to go?”

“Your Excellency, you are mighty in all directions, how dare they not ……”

“Fart.” Zhu Neng said: “again is to pull a few old subordinates all day with me to drink, and I catch up with the old, and is daily accompanied by the old man around, other people just, that Liu Guan, this guy is the Ministry of Rites Secretary, on the basis of the also is the imperial police, what makes him see me as if he saw his father like?”

“What does His Lordship mean by ……”

“There’s something heavenly fishy going on here.” Chu Neng said, “The water inside is too deep.”

“But if that’s the case, why doesn’t His Excellency investigate it to the end?”

“You blind eyes, did not see so many people so attentive, the head involved in the civil and military do not know how many, you see them a smile, in fact, is afraid of death, they are more than the old man is still panicked it, I am a little bit of suspicion of the color, I am afraid that they are also worried about things to be exposed. Have you ever raised a rabbit?”

“Ah …… don’t know what kind of rabbit His Excellency is talking about, the …… kind that you can eat, or the kind that ……”

Chu Neng stormed out, “You actually raised one?”

“No, no, no.” This squire was busy waving his hands and stammered, “I have only heard of it.”

Zhu Neng said: “I said that the long ears red eyes of the rabbit, this rabbit is anxious, is also to bite, they are so attentive, must be involved in the life of the family, if I show what they really anxious, may not not be desperate, if the fire, or under a bit of medicine, the old man is not allowed to die in vain in the Nanchang House. I’m not afraid of death, is that my son is not good, I’m afraid that if I die, my son of that bastard to lose the family.”

With that said, Jounen let out a sigh.

Immediately, Zhu Neng said, “Immediately back to the capital, reported this matter, this …… is not simple, with a few Qinzai, is not able to do it, have to ask your majesty, let me lead an army to come, will be this Nanchang province inside and outside the siege, and then and Liu Guan these son-of-a-bitch to settle accounts.”

He also explained for himself: “This time, the old man is a good man but not before the loss, they have more people, what bullshit ten thousand enemies, that is a lie, the old man is less people, really want to talk about it, it is the people on the board of the fish, and so I go back to the deployment of men and horses, ten slaughter them a, will be like cutting melons and chopping vegetables in general.”

Said with a wave of his hand: “to be fast, and, alert those boatmen. What I said to you, you must not spread out, that is, other people must not say, all waiting to enter the palace report before talking.”

“Here.”

…………

Sending off Jounen.

Liu Guan was worried.

Xu Qi said, “Liu Gong, things are finally ……”

Liu Guan frowned, “I think there’s something fishy about that Zhu Neng.”

“This man is nothing more than that, and I would have thought ……”

Liu Guan, however, said, “No, I look at …… things are not this simple …… This old thing is also too good to coax.”

“In that case, then why did Liu Gong ……”

Liu Guan thought to himself, “This official has not gained any benefits, and now he is already guilty, do you still teach me to take the risk of razing the three clans and accompanying you to continue the rebellion.”

Just Liu Guan heart so think, in fact, is to test the reaction of Xu Qi, see Xu Qi some hesitation and stumbling look, apparently did not see what is different, the heart will feel clear Xu Qi people such as …… actually really by that Zhu can cheat.

He also thought originally, Xu Qi these people, also perceived what, so stayed what backhand, will be in the process of Zhu Neng running, solicitude …… to create a little boat into the water and other drama it.

But Xu Qi is obviously full of doubts, Liu Guan heart will be all clear, and then comfort Xu Qi said: “But it may also be that the old man is overthinking, just now things have come to this point, the old man is inevitably overthinking, that Cheng Guogong after all, just a martial artist, can see what.”

Xu Qi let out a long sigh of relief.

“Hey …… old man is sleepy.” Liu Guan waved his hand, “Go take a rest first.”

Liu Guan then, back to his own regiment, to the bedroom, pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, he had an anxious and uncertain look on his face, muttering under his breath, “Death also, death also ……”

Fiercely, he stopped and paused, “This some must die, so it seems …… that the original …… they actually want to take the old man as a scapegoat.”

Said the man, wincing.

Liu Guan all of a sudden, flung to his desk, trembling hold the pen, and then, panic began to line: “I Liu Guan club truthful report: I to Jiangxi Nanchang Province, a thorough investigation of railroad matters, after checking ……”

He buried his head and hurriedly wrote thousands of words, too late to look carefully, blow dry the ink. Put this report into the envelope, and then sealed tightly with wax, when it was carefully, without showing any sign of movement out of the bedroom, toward the accompanying a retinue hook hand, whispered: “Come.”

That escort was busy following him into the bedroom, Liu Guan closed the door, then hugged this escort and said intimately, “Liu Xiang, your father and son are servants in my house, these years, have I treated you thinly?”

“Your lordship has nothing to say about the little …… naturally ……”

“Your father is now old, the body is not good, I think about …… the time to take care of the days, a few days ago I repaired the book home, then instructed the steward, let him arrange a rough maid, take care of your father, told your father do not have to be on duty again, hey . … he worked hard all his life, I am in the eyes.”

Liu Guan said and started wiping his tears.

This squire called Liu Xiang heard this and his heart warmed up, “Master ……”

“Well.” Liu Xiang patted his shoulder: “You these years, with me east and west, is also hard. Just right, I have a letter here, you go back to the lady, let him according to this letter in the account to do, I’m afraid to hard trip, just right, you also go home to see your father, oh, right, this is a family affair, you don’t make a statement, lest other people think that old man’s orders outside, but also think of the family affair, the old man is a minister of the imperial court, can’t teach people to know the old man because of private waste of public affairs.”

“Yes, yes.” Liu Xiang gritted his teeth.

“To expedite going and not stopping along the way.”

Liu Xiang took the letter and went away with a thousand thanks.

Eyes sent away Liu Xiang, Liu Guan but still uneasy, he back hands, murmured in a low voice read: “die also …… die also ……”

Fiercely, he couldn’t help but sneer and curse again, “These crazy people, a bunch of crazy people …… they’re crazy ……”

An hour later, someone suddenly rushed in and stumbled, “Liu Gong, Liu Gong ……”

Liu Guan was shocked and looked up, but it was Xu Qi who stumbled and stumbled, with a miserable face, “Jin Yiwei …… Jin Yiwei ……”
