Although Wu Zongda is the Qingliu among the Qingliu, he also deeply understands the various routines in the officialdom.

In the officialdom, as long as the two sides reach an agreement, nothing can be suppressed and nothing can be hidden.

Moreover, unless you have to make a huge mess in the officialdom, you will be deceived by the superiors and the subordinates. Everyone below knows that as long as the people above don’t know, you will have no problem. Everyone does this and does this.

But it was too horrifying that they did this? A violent army of soldiers and chaos attacked the dignified Yangzhou Prefecture Office, but in the end there was nothing. The situation was calm. In response to that sentence, killing people and setting fire to the golden belt. Such a torture, what was the prestige of the Ming Dynasty? What was the law? Wu Zhongda was immediately angry and immediately ordered people to carry him to the Yangzhou Prefecture Office with eight-carrying sedan chairs. He wanted to catch someone on the spot and ask Gao Wang personally.

Although the two places were not close, only two streets, when he carried the sedan chair, he saw the streets in a mess and panic. Moreover, the people on the streets, those who do business and those who do business were significantly reduced by more than half. Many people seemed a little scared and uneasy. After all, when they heard that the Liu family army was in trouble, they actually started to attack the prefect. If they dared to attack the prefect, they would definitely suffer.

But many people were wrong. This time, the Liu family army and the others took ruthless measures to deal with the government and taught the other party a lesson. The officials and the yamen runners were all severely beaten by their Liu family army, but they seemed to be a little tolerant of the people and basically did not violate them. If the other party was the common people, they would basically not be intentionally hurt, and they would never be as cruel as they would against the officers and soldiers.

From this point of view, many ordinary people saw that the Liu family army was unique. Other troops bullied the common people like wolves and tigers. When they saw the officials, they wanted to kneel down and lick the other person's feet.

The Liu family army was like a wolf or a tiger to deal with the government, and it seemed a little awe of the people. At this time, an internal word from the Liu family army was spread and recognized by the people. This sentence is that we are all ordinary people, and we will not bully the people.

If it were in the past, many people would think that they were just bragging, but it was just a means of propaganda. The army did not say that they loved the people as much as their sons and bullied the people, which was not merciless, but the Liu family army made a unique point.

In this regard, they are completely different, which also gives the people nodding. After all, the other party is just bullying the officials, and the common people like him have no reason to get involved in the struggle for officials.

Wu Zongda asked someone to set up all his ceremonial guards, and went to the prefectural magnificently with glorious charm. When he came to the gate of the prefectural corpses, there were many corpses piled up here, and many officials and yamen runners were clearing the blood on the ground here.

Seeing this situation, Wu Zongda was very angry and said loudly: "Call Gao Wang over."

As the second assistant to the cabinet and the Grand Secretary in the court, he is qualified to directly order high hopes. If he is unhappy, it is enough to directly slap the other party.

This time, Gao Wang did not come to welcome him in a hurry, but came late. Gao Wang seemed a little listless. He saw Wu Zongda bowing and said, "I don't know if the headmaster is here, the lower officials are in a hurry to welcome him. I forgive me for your crimes! I forgive me for your crimes!"

Wu Zongda said with a gloomy face: "Tell me what's going on here."

Gao Wang saw that the other party asked this question directly. He frowned and said, "This matter is embarrassing."

Wu Zongda seemed angry at the other party's disapproval expression. He said, "Tell me what happened."

Gao Wang had no choice but to say, "It was all our government that did not investigate for a while. There was a rioter such as the Black Panther Gang in Yangzhou. They actually attacked the government office while the government was unprepared and held officials and yamen runners hostages, and plotted against them. Fortunately, the Liu family army discovered it early and launched a force to attack the government office and rescued the hostages and officials. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable."

Wu Zongda stared at the other party coldly, watching him say such words shamelessly, without any expression, without any shame, which made Wu Zhongda very angry. He slapped the handrail of his sedan chair and said loudly: "Such big thing has happened. Since you dare to deceive your superiors and hide your subordinates, what should you be guilty?"

Gao Wang had no choice but to explain: "Xiaguan is not strictly managed, and there are thugs who are so arrogant and illegal under his rule. Attacking the government office, the officials are guilty of being in prison."

The other party was so cunning and so avoiding the important things. Wu Zongda was very angry. He said, "If such a big thing happened and so many people died, you just want to leave it alone!"

Gao Wang saw that Wu Zongda was a little unyielding and aggressive, so he was a little impatient. He said, "What does the Lord's words mean? Although many people died, these people are damn Black Panther Gang thugs, and some innocent victims. These are all victims of this matter. I will arrange and provide pensions one by one. Do you have to make my life worthy of it?"

Wu Zongda said angrily: "Do you think no one knows about the activities between you and the Liu family army? Can you hide it from the truth?"

Gao Wang finally confirmed that the other party was coming to him and was asking him for trouble, so he said, "Is there something wrong with him today? You actually want to use the word "collusion". What I heard is a good Hu Yan."

Wu Zongda saw so many corpses at the door, and there were corpses lifted out. He was thinking that the same thing was raised by his father and mother, who had no parents? Everyone has no family, but now they are killed. Most officials have given more than a dozen taels of silver to fool the matter. However, these are lives one by one, and they have become victims of their struggle for profit. It would be fine if he didn't see such things. Since he saw them, he could not let them go. He said loudly: "You must have an explanation for today's affairs, otherwise I will never give up easily."

Gao Wang said, "Why didn't Master Wu hear that those who are superiors should be clean without seeing them? There is another saying that water is clear and there is no fish, and people are observing without disciples. As a high-ranking official in the court, why bother to worry about small problems in a timely and a place?"

Wu Zongda said angrily: "You are ordered by the court to protect your side and say such despicable words. I will report to the court to severely punish you."

If Wu Zongda said this two days ago, Gao Wang would still be afraid, but now he has experienced life and death, what else can he be afraid of? He said: "Ge Lao, why bother with this matter? Ge Lao came to the local area mainly to maintain local stability. If the local area is unstable, how can the court collect taxes from here? If the local area is not stable, you are afraid that the court will disappoint the court."

Wu Zongda was even more angry and said, "You are threatening me, right?"

Gao Wang said angrily: "Actually everyone knows it, but no one knows it. Everyone understands one thing, that is, stop when it hits. Since it hits, everyone should stop when it hits. Isn't that good?"

Wu Zongda was even more upset. He said, "What do you mean is that if you do it, it will cause chaos in the area?"

Gao Wang said, "The officials don't have such confidence. Anyone who comes can replace them. But there is a saying that pulls out the radish and brings out the mud and pulls out the Liu family army behind. Everyone's face is not good-looking. Why does the Liu family army make trouble? They rely on their strength to make a living? They are tigers or hungry wolves, but everyone takes him as a dog. Tigers and wolves do not eat shit, dogs eat shit. If they are raised as dogs, how can they not make trouble?"

Gao Wang's words made Wu Zhongda dare not refute for a moment, because he also realized such a problem: Liu Bu was a top-level figure and the leader of the Liu family army was not convenient for him to cause trouble here, but after he left, his subordinates began to cause trouble. Even if the court blamed him, he could still refuse this to do so.

Moreover, the court now dispatched troops from all over the place, to the northwest, to the border, and to deal with the enemy in large numbers, so that the inland in the Central Plains was extremely empty. The Liu family army was the largest force in the Jianghuai area and offended them. Once they raised their troops to rebel, where did their court dispatch troops to deal with them?

Thinking of this, Wu Zongda dared not speak anymore. In order to understand his mission, the court asked him to come here to maintain local peace. If he caused chaos in the local area and could not pay taxes here in Jiangnan, it would probably be inevitable to have to rely on the court's defeat.

But seeing such injustice, as the head of the court and the literary world, he didn't dare to care about this group of monsters and miserable people, what's the point of being an official?

Moreover, seeing how arrogant and careless he is now, he is willing to do so. He has to think that it is easy to cause trouble. If the Liu family army is involved, the problem will become bigger. Liu family army plays a very disgraceful role or a thorny role in this matter. They deliberately make trouble just to win more benefits. Once Gao Wang is exposed, they will definitely find Liu family army. Once the beast is forced to rebel, what should we do?

Now even Wu Zongda understood one thing, that is, the Liu family army was a beast. If it was angered by this beast, it would be of no benefit to everyone. Through this counterattack with the Liu family army, these officials also understood one thing, that is, the Liu family army was different from other troops, that is, they had their own way of supplying military wages and food, and they did not rely on the court's grain supply, nor did they let the court and officials roll round and flat.
