However, the prefect Wang was first attacked by the gentry, and then the Liaodong merchants forced him to set up a person, which made him in a dilemma and in a dilemma. He couldn't help but feel angry and anxious, and he was stunned for a moment...

Yang Kun was in a state of great peace, and the merchants were unscathed, so he quit his connections. As for the troublemakers, they had already been put in prison, and he also gave an explanation to the people of Liaodong.

So I am happy to be a good person now, and stood up and explained: "Mr. Wang is very dedicated to this matter. Since we arrived in Yongshun, how has Lord Wang been entertained? But the people are very stubborn, so I have no doubt about the Lord. Since the incident happened last night, the Prime Minister Wang has not been able to close his eyes for us for twenty hours and never had dinner. Now the people who are causing trouble have been beaten and have been locked in prison. They will definitely do it again in the future and will never let them go. But please rest assured.

As for the lost salutes, it is very good to find them out. If they cannot find them, Lord Wang will never ask you to go back empty-handed, and there are the country people who tied you up. In terms of reason, they are still people who have made contributions. They were not sent to you, but they were afraid that until now, you still don’t know where you are wandering.

But they shouldn't tie people up, of course, this is a trivial matter. You must ask Lord Wang to give it to you, and you don't have to worry too much. Now, you have suffered hardship last night and tied it up to the city early this morning. You have eaten enough pain, but you can rest in my house and talk about everything again."

The miner bowed and said, "I don't care about these things, but I'll make the decision by the two adults."

The merchant said to Wang Xian: "Mr. Wang has endured our hardships and will definitely thank us in the future."

After hearing this, Wang Xian didn't know what to say to him for a moment, and watched Yang Kun take away the person.

The county magistrate said: "Sir, how to deal with this matter?"

"Didn't you hear their conversation?" Wang Xian said angrily: "One of them sings blushing and the other sings blushing, they are all colluding. It doesn't matter how much money they spend, but there must be a number of people to accompany them. I'm not angry now, but what I'm angry about is that our Yongshing is not as prosperous as other places. Whether it's cats or dogs, they all look down on us. It's really outrageous!"

The county magistrate smiled bitterly and said, "Even if they lose money, they can't pay much. How dare they speak out? How can they lose those people they caught yesterday, as well as the countrymen?"

"You are wrong. The lion must have spoken loudly. If you don't believe it, let's take a look. But the country people are not wrong." Wang Xian praised, "When they saw a suspicious person, they naturally had to tie him up and send him to the official position, and they didn't hit someone privately. If they were really robbers, I would have to give a lot of rewards. How could they care about them?"

"But." The county expressed a dilemma, "but there was no slight punishment. I'm afraid the businessmen may not be satisfied."

"It's hard to make them satisfied." Wang Xian looked determined, "Use the flesh of the people to make their happiness? I would rather not be an official than to do so. As for how much money it is to pay, it's natural. You and I should at least be more open-minded. If you want to implicate good people, you must not."

The county magistrate said: "Businessmen only need money. When they have money, they can discuss it. The people in the countryside will put the matter aside. The people who also had the same group of people as Huang Juren were beaten. It is also considered a punishment for the prison. Whether the fame or reputation is eliminated or not will be decided."

Wang Xian suddenly said impatiently: "Just do it, at worst I can compensate them for my official position."

When the county magistrate saw that the prefectural emperor was angry, he didn't want to say much, so he casually talked about a few gossips, said goodbye, and went to the yamen to take charge of the officials.

In this way, Liaodong people lived with Yang Kun in the government office for three or five days. Huang Juren and Tong Sheng were locked up like this, and the countrymen were still stranded in the city. Wang Xian began to ignore the matter. Even the gentry came, they did not meet. They said they were sick and returned to worship themselves when they recovered.

After four or five days of delay, everyone was impatient. Among them, Yang Kun guessed that the prefect Wang had a somewhat unique temperament. Sometimes he became timid and was afraid of being beaten to the head when the leaves fell. When the temperament attacked, he would not be afraid of anything. This was also a common problem for the Beijing officials.

The prefect of the king occasionally met a businessman in the past two days, and his attitude was quite friendly. He had no choice but to speak to Yang Kun, and some things were not speculative, so Yang Kun was unwilling to disturb him, so he simply went to the county magistrate to discuss it.

In the study, Yang Kun said, "We came to Yongshun and caused such a big mess. Now there is no need to read the mine anymore. So I just went back and sold the money. But if I had lost things, I would never have any reason to worry about them. But on the side of Liaodong people, the Duke of the Mansion would have to give some comfort.

Staying here for one more day will make each other uneasy. Even those who have obtained it will not be a solution. No matter how you deal with it, I have to ask me to know so that I can't explain it when I go back. Now the Mansion Master is just stuck and doesn't know what medicine is sold in the gourd?"

The county magistrate said: "The things must be compensated, and the people must be handled. The magistrate was unhappy these two days, and it is not convenient for us to force him as subordinates. Lord Yang had nothing to do after dinner, so he could come to me often to chat and linger for a few more days."

"Oh! You're so worry-free." Yang Kun smiled bitterly, "It's been a month since I was released, and I haven't done what I told you. How can I still feel in a state of lingering? Please ask you, and I'll ask him a letter today and tomorrow to send us to walk. This prefect Wang, when he first met, he saw that he was well-informed, but now, I'm really afraid that you'll make me successful when you meet him."

Because the other party's official position was much higher than that of him, the county magistrate had to agree and ask him how much it would take to compensate for his luggage and other items?

Yang Kun said, "If you are a businessman, you will be a lion who will ask for ten thousand or twenty thousand. With me in it, it will be as much as three thousand or as few as two thousand."

Two thousand taels? The county magistrate was speechless. Yongshun was a famous poor county, and two thousand taels were considered as an astronomical number.

The county magistrate went to see the prefect at night and said that Yang Kun had entrusted it with a very tactful statement. He also said that the businessman lived in the government office and was not a matter of affairs after all, so it would be better to send them to walk early and be happy to be quiet in front of him.

The prefect Wang complained and just as he was about to do something, he was a little discouraged. He was not pleased in the local area or in front of outsiders. It was difficult to fix both aspects. So he had the idea of ​​losing his official position. Instead, he felt much more relieved and asked, "What are they going to do?"

The county magistrate informed Yang Kun about the amount he said, and Wang Xian said angrily: "It's too much! Can his little luggage be worth so much? According to my opinion, I will give them at most five hundred taels, and the luggage is only worth one hundred and eighty taels, which is already cheaper for them."

Seeing that the number of requests and the number of repayments was very different, the county magistrate was not easy to talk about, so he asked the person who got it, so he asked Lord Yang to return to the province to submit the work, which was also an explanation.

Wang Xian said, "I have an idea about this matter. I must report it to the emperor and let it go. You and I don't have to be a bad person or be a good person. Otherwise, what else can I do? If I don't want to be a businessman, I will be sorry to the local gentry, and if I can be ashamed of the gentry, I will be ashamed of the merchants. Besides, most of these people were held on the spot and asked in the hall, so it depends on what the above means."

After the county magistrate came down, he told Yang Kun the truth. Yang Kun was a little angry at Wang Xian's shirking and said, "How is five hundred taels possible?" I asked the merchants, some instruments are worth a thousand gold, and two thousand taels are not enough, and five thousand taels must be allowed.

The county magistrate was helpless and had no choice but to ask for a meeting with his superiors. Wang Xian added up from 500 taels to 1,200 taels, and insisted that he could not add it again. The county magistrate came out with a bitter face and went to Yang Kun again, saying that Yang Kun was just complaining to him blindly.

When he reached this stage, the county magistrate could no longer go to the front of the prefecture to make trouble, and he could not repeat it again and again. He simply secretly gave Yang Kun five hundred taels. Fortunately, the money was not for nothing, and it was beneficial to the source. He said, "This is my own meaning. I will send it to my brother for money on the way, not in the compensation."

Yang Kun accepted it and was very grateful to him. Although he had received a bribe, he lost his own gifts. The money and official uniforms were also worth at least 500 taels. As for the luggage of Liaodong people, he also thought it was worthless, but after suffering such a big shock, who wouldn't want to ask for more compensation? Although greed is also a natural person.

Through this incident, Yang Kun became more and more disgusted with Wang Xian and said, "I must have your affection. As for the 1,200 taels of magistrate, I don't have to argue with him. As long as the people of Liaodong have nothing to say, they are happy that everyone has nothing to do."

Seeing that this matter was smooth, the county magistrate did it smoothly, and he had no offense and made friends with noble people. After Lord Yang returned to the province, he would have a good help, and he would naturally have no worries in the future. He said goodbye with a smile.

There were not many good birds in the officialdom, and even good birds could not become high-ranking officials. Yang Kun came back and said a few bad words from the prefectural officials intentionally or unintentionally. The miner immediately responded: "I see that the two adults in this prefecture and county are unwilling to help us stand up for justice. However, the officers and soldiers of the garrison are quite alike, and they are worthy of being soldiers brought out by Governor Xu."

Nowadays, people from Liaodong are not looked down upon by others. They are rich and can't help but become self-righteous and complain a few times when they hear this.

Yang Kun said slowly: "Actually, on the day of the trouble, Lord Wang kept shutting the second door and hiding in the yamen. It was a pity that the county magistrate and the officers and soldiers were pressing on the street. Later, in the middle of the night, he went to catch the man named Huang and did not sleep all night. The county magistrate made great efforts."

The miner suddenly said, "It seems that he can't show up, but he is a good official. At first, Lord Wang saw that he was a sensible person, so why didn't he work for us? Everyone is here for the sake of the local area."

"It's okay if you don't work for us." Yang Kun sneered, "Now our luggage is lost, and we can't go back to live here. I'll discuss with him about borrowing some money for money. Not only did he not lose all his penny, but the thugs did not interrogate or ask, and I don't know which day we would leave us here to wait."
