Chapter 26 There are countermeasures under Chapter 26

Yang Hao's original intention was to ask Zhao Dezhao to come forward and sit in the government office in person as the eldest son of the current emperor and His Royal Highness the King of Wei, so that someone could report to him.With Zhao Decai's precious status, people who know the truth and are bullied by the grain gentry will come here enthusiastically. I don't want Zhao Dezhao to let him come forward to preside over the matter. Yang Hao was teased by a little rascal in Shilingzi, he was already angry, and he was trying to find an excuse to punish the treacherous traitors, so he let out such a bad breath, even though he was not as good as the King of Wei, he could make the people rely on him Convinced, but agreed, and immediately went back to prepare.

Zhao Dezhao has always respected the Grand Tutor, although according to his words he did not come forward, he still called Deng Zuyang to explain the matter to him in person and asked him to fully cooperate.Deng Zuyang was dedicated to the public and open-minded, so he didn't feel resentful about it. If Yang Hao's method can be realized, it can break the deadlock in the Sizhou grain market, and it will be of great benefit to him, so he readily agreed. Zhao Dezhao was also very happy to see that the magistrate Deng was honest and sincere. After talking about business, he wanted to ask about the girl Deng Xiuer who he never forgot, but because he had never been involved in love affairs, he was still a little tender and shy. After a while, he hesitated to speak, Deng Zuyang was curious, and asked tentatively, but Zhao Dezhao became flustered, and hurriedly talked about him, changing the topic.

Deng Zuyang left the residence of the king of Wei. Immediately, he saw the master book, the judge, the inspector, etc., and conveyed the order of the king of Wei. Call all the three classes of yamen servants to wait for Yang Hao's orders. For a while, Yang Hao sat in the government office of Sizhou, and the announcements were posted one by one, five city gates, three waterways entering the city, and even streets and alleys, which can be seen everywhere in the suburbs of Sizhou. "Wei Wang Dezhao, the envoy of the Third Division Chu Zhaofu, and the envoy of the Kaifeng government, Yang Hao, are sent to the south of the Jianghuai River to investigate the purchase of grain and rice. There are illegal grain gentry in Sizhou. , doing all kinds of illegal things to make huge profits. Yang Hao, the envoy of the Kaifeng government court, was ordered by the imperial envoy Wei Wang Dezhao to report to the Xuren of the Sizhou government office, but there are some people who follow the law privately and have smuggled money with illegal grain gentry. Officials, the chief official will be executed, and the official will be dismissed and demoted, and will still be transferred to the Yushitai for investigation. No matter how much ink he corrupts, he will be rewarded with all the branches and informants. On the day this list is made public, the chief official will be exonerated, and the past will not be blamed. Grain lords who commit illegal acts can also forgive their old crimes."

As soon as the announcement came out, the entire Sizhou city was sensationalized. There were only 14,000 families in the small city of Sizhou, except for the ignorant children, almost everyone knew about it.In the teahouse and wine shop, everyone was talking about it. No one knew what kind of storm this imperial envoy would cause in Sizhou City. But in fact, there was no wind or rain. The weather is still so hot, there is not even a breath of wind, the willow branches on the side of the road are hanging down weakly, and the people walking under the trees are also lazy and unable to lift their spirits.

The officials lined up at the entrance of the Sizhou government office to accept the report were still standing there in the morning, with their chests up and their stomachs shy and majestic, but now they all ran to the gate and sat on the knee-high threshold , let the passing wind blow to enjoy the cool.A big yellow dog was lying in the shadow of the stone lion, panting with its tongue lolling. In the lobby, Yang Hao was also tired from sitting, and the weather in the afternoon was even hotter. Knowing that Zhi Zhi’s restless screams made him dizzy, he looked from the lobby to the gate, and only saw three or two pedestrians walking slowly by after a long while. Looking at the government office, the common people couldn't see the facial features clearly from a distance, but Yang Hao clearly felt a sense of ridicule.

"Head Luo Ban, call Liu Laozhi with me." Yang Hao sat impatiently, and ordered to the hall. The squad leader was dozing off while leaning on a water and fire stick. When Yang Hao called out, he woke up immediately, quickly wiped the slobber from the corner of his mouth, and ran out with a promise.After a while, Liu Laozhi, who was guarding the gate, rushed in, clasped his fists and said, "What orders do you have, sir?" This Liu Laozhi is Liu Xiangzhi's brother. He is forty-six or seven years old. He is also the uncle of Mrs. Deng Zhifu. It's hard work. Yang Hao said depressedly: "Liu Butou, have the notices been posted all over the streets?"

Liu Laozhi said: "My lord, not only the streets and gates, but also the towns and villages, let the township officials receive the notice and go back to tell the people." "Well," Yang Hao said helplessly, "Has no one ever gone to the Yamen to file a complaint?" Liu Laozhi smiled bitterly: "My lord, no." At this time, Luo Ban shouted: "My lord, the prefect has arrived." When Yang Hao looked up, he saw Deng Zuyang walking towards the Yazhong, and there was a clerk in his fifties beside him, so he hurriedly left the case to meet him. In the streets and alleys near the government office, some idlers squatted in twos and threes under the corner of the tree shade to enjoy the cool, talking loudly about the matter of the imperial envoy's reward.

"Master Grain Gentleman, can we offend him? He has power and power. How powerful is that on the one-acre land in Sizhou? The imperial envoy will leave after a few days. Who will support you then? If you really want to offend those grain gentry masters, do you still want to stay in Sizhou City? Only go to sue if you lose your mind." "That is to say, the masters of the grain gentry have contacts with the officials and masters of the shipping department and the transshipment department. To put it bluntly, there are people in the government. It’s good: ‘You don’t sue the officials when you are killed’, why? Even if you are forced to death, at least your parents, wives and children still have a way to survive, sue the officials? Your family will have no way to survive.”

"No, if anyone is really confused, think about it for yourself. Hey, you, what about you, where are you going?" As soon as he passed the little manager pushing the cart of pears, he quickly stopped: "Oh, I'm going to Dongerfang to sell pears." "Selling pears?" A helper staggered over, picked up a few pears from the car and threw them to some friends who were still squatting there, took one for himself, "clicked" and took a bite, snorting coldly: "Bai Lao Liu, look at you, you are so old, why don't you understand. The imperial envoy is waiting for someone to sue you. As soon as you leave the gate of the yamen, we saw that you were selling pears. But other people don’t know, if this is really some grain squire who asked someone to sue, why don’t you be suspicious? By then, do you still want to hang out in Sizhou?”

"what?" "Ah, what, I didn't understand enough? You can go another way." "Oh, thank you for your pointers, more pointers." The Bai Lao Liu wiped off his sweat, pushed the cart with a smile and turned into an alley.Looking at the deserted yamen in the distance, the gang smiled coldly, took another bite of the pear, and walked back down the tree.
In a restaurant, a young man in white was sitting by the window on the second floor corner. This young man had red lips, white teeth, and soft eyes. He didn't wear a headscarf because of the hot weather. His long hair was combed into a ponytail, and a jade belt was tied on his forehead. He sat towards the window. , quite a sense of Yushu facing the wind.

There is a river outside the window, there is a gentle breeze here, and the water is reflected upstairs, making his jade-like skin flickering bright and dark, as if it is as clear as ice and snow.At the table outside him, Zhang Shisan occupied a table by himself, ordered a table full of wine and meat, and was burying his head in eating. At this time, a thin man in green clothes ran up the stairs. He glanced at it, then lowered his head to drink, as if he did not know. The man in Tsing Yi went upstairs to look left and right, then bypassed Zhang Shisan and sat down at the table of the young man in white.The young man in white reached out and turned over a fine porcelain cup, lifted the jug and poured him a glass of wine.The man in Tsing Yi sat upright, did not take the cup, just watched a thin stream of wine pour into the cup, and said in a low voice: "Sizhou Mansion has already purchased 40% of the grain and grass, so far there is no more grain. The imperial envoy Prince Wei is very anxious, it seems that he will stay in Sizhou for a few more days, the deputy imperial envoy Yang Hao has posted a notice, offering a huge reward to the people of Sizhou to report and report." "I've read the notice." The handsome young man in white twitched his lips with sharp and charming lines, "Yang Hao often has ideas that are very different from ordinary people. Doesn’t he know that those local gentry who are not worth mentioning in the eyes of the government are the emperors of one side in the eyes of the common people? Report, hum! It’s not a bad thing to be safe and clear, and the officials are clear and bright. Now..., it won’t work, even if someone sues, it’s not painful, and it’s hard to shake those grain gentry.” "Just as Miss expected." The man in Tsing Yi smiled softly: "The Eight Great Vajras sat at the door, and which commoner dared to approach? There were people in the government office who beat drums and complained about injustice on weekdays, but now for the sake of To avoid suspicion, no one went to report to the official. The gate of the magistrate's yamen is quiet enough to catch sparrows. This Yang Hao doesn't know how to be an official. He is really a big idiot. It is said that he was famous when he was in Kaifeng. I'm so stupefied, it's also due to him..." "Crack!" The wine table was slapped by the white-clothed boy's plain hand, and there was a crisp sound. The man in green was stunned, and hurriedly stopped his mouth to look up. There was a hint of anger in the white-clothed boy's eyes, and his beauty was as flawless as bright jade. His face also sank, and he scolded coldly: "Even if it is a dragon, it will be teased by grass snakes if it is trapped in the mud, and even if it is a fierce tiger, it will be bullied by vicious dogs if it falls on the ground in Pingyang. No The righteous grain gentry speculates for profit since ancient times, and there are countless means. This chronic disease has not been cured by any wise king, sage, or local official. Zhao Guan used a pig-like third envoy to take care of him. As a result, this girl made a small plan, and it made him burnt out? Yang Hao's two lives, alone, can't sleep, what else could he do, why did he become an idiot? Tell me!" The man in Tsing Yi was baffled by her reprimand, and hurriedly said yes in panic, thinking in his heart: "If Yang Hao is omnipotent, is he just taking advantage of Miss' wishes? I said he was a fool, why is Miss Boss unhappy?" Sitting in the front seat, Zhang Shisan, who invisibly separated them from others, already vaguely knew about his young lady's past affairs. Hearing that brother was taught a lesson by the young lady, the corners of his lips curled up: "How about Yang Hao?" Unbearable, the young lady can say it, but others can't, otherwise...but I have stabbed her hornet's nest..."
