Chapter 636 fan the flames
Since Zhang Juzheng issued the government order to rectify academic affairs, although all the private academies in Huizhou Prefecture did not close their doors immediately, they were more careful than before. When they were competing with each other, they often used the ability to invite a famous scholar to give lectures as a gift to show off. Now they only use their existing teaching power and dare not show off again. As a result, the official school society, which has always been suppressed by those academies, suddenly seemed to shake. Even some scholars and lawsuits who used to be a student but did not show up in the county school often went to the Mao.
On this day, five or six scholars gathered in the Wuyuan Academy Palace, but they did not come to class at the Dao, but just used the county school to discuss their own affairs. Cheng Renqing and Cheng Wenlie were the leaders. Cheng Wenlie thought that he was a student at the office, but in the lawsuit handled by the Huizhou Government, he almost took over all the lawsuits from Wuyuan. He was just because he was not in line with Wang Shangning to deal with Wang Fulin but lost a lot. He ran to a foreign country to avoid the limelight and returned after Wang Fulin came to Beijing. However, the title of the first litigator in Wuyuan had already been snatched by Cheng Renqing, the rising star.
In the previous fierce debate between the government office, he heard that Wang Fulin would not go and wanted to regain his strength, but he was disappointed. The fierce debate was obviously the best from beginning to end. Wang Shangning's group of people who faced the target of thousands of men in the five counties, but they were evenly matched, but they had the best because of the bias of the government!
Because of this, after returning to the county town, the group of people in Wuyuan were not willing to give up. They immediately joined forces with the countryside gangsters and bullies, and then tried to incite public opinion and made even more news. As long as the people were willing to pay for the travel expenses, they were willing to go to Nanjing and even go to the capital to complain! But this was only one of their goals. The real thing was to make a fuss and force the government office to change their attitude. However, as soon as the news was released, Wuyuan County Magistrate Wu Guan issued a sign in a thunderous manner, arresting several people in the name of confusing the public, and even posted a notice that it was strictly forbidden to connect privately. He also reiterated that he would definitely fight for reason and not break the law of the ancestors.
Wu Guan was a Jinshi in the fifth year of Longqing. He was appointed as the magistrate of Wuyuan County because he had been in office for a long time. He has been in office for four years, but he is less than 30 years old. On the gate of Wuyuan County, there is still a banner posted by Wu Guan himself, titled "If you can't slander, you can't avoid it. If you can't enter the sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrific
Otherwise, Wu Guan would dare to write a letter to study politics and would exempt them from fame in the name of Guanshuo Jujuan!
So, now they want to connect with the villagers, get some money and flowers in the name of appeal, and make trouble by the way, turn the tone set by the government office, and thus establish their reputation. Then they will inevitably be unable to avoid the county magistrate Wu Guan. In other words, either Wu Guan is not in the county town, or they have to find a way to make him unable to play the role of the county magistrate, otherwise they will not be able to do anything!
"I'll teach you next?"
Today, these scholars are all very smart or cunning people. After Cheng Wenlie said this, everyone understood it from other things and suddenly understood it. Wuyuan was the auxiliary and Xiuning was the main one. Who told the government office that in the previous period, people kept saying that the richest people in Huizhou are not Shexian, but Xiuning? Even Wuyuan is the back. Therefore, even if Cheng Renqing was not convinced, he could only watch Cheng Wenlie take the dominance from his hands. Cheng Wenlie proudly pointed out that his two classmates Wu Dajiang and Ye Ting, who were in the palace, were from Xiuning, so he asked them to contact the people. Just then, the time was echoed, and the tone was set.
The undercurrents among the people of Wuyuan and Xiuning counties were surging, but the owners of Huizhou Prefecture and Shexian County Office were unaware of it. Perhaps even if they knew it, they confidently believed that the authority of the government was better than everything. At least, they believed that there would definitely be no civil rebellion in the core of the Ming Dynasty, which was second only to Northern Zhili in the Ming Dynasty. The chaos in Suzhou that originated from the campaign and almost brought hostage to the dignified Governor Yingtian was a matter of many years, and it had long been selected and ignored.
It is precisely because of this that she was the power of winning the victory in the government office, Xue Chao, the magistrate of She County, immediately sent Master Liu to Xuancheng again to pick up Shuai Jiamo. At the same time, he instructed his confidants to spread Shuai Jiamo back among the people. On the day Shuai Jiamo returned to Huizhou, a large number of people who waved colorful flags and brought drum music out of the city to welcome the heroes. It is conceivable that since the incident was brought up, Shuai Jiamo, who had suffered a lot since he mentioned this matter, heard the drum music, the colorful flags, and countless cheering sounds. He was completely floating and could not remember the words of the son of Shen, the Xuancheng, who was on behalf of Wang Fulin when he set out from Xuancheng.
"You hero offended everyone in the other five counties for the benefit of one county. Although the people of one county are grateful to you, the people of the other five counties are eager to eat your flesh and blood. Once a major change occurs, the Anzhigong will not use you as a scapegoat for calming people? If you want to go back, you might as well be low-key. If you return home in high profile, some people will cheer for you, but more people will borrow you to make trouble!"
After countless cheers, Zhao Zhuan of She County personally welcomed Xue Xianzun. Wang Shangning also came in person. She County people on both sides of the road welcomed each other. Shuai Jiamo truly felt the taste of the peak of life. When he was invited to the She County Yamen, Xue Xianzun treated him with courtesy. After he recounted the attitudes of the Nanjing Metropolitan Court and the Nanjing Ministry of Revenue, he actually took him to Huizhou Prefecture with his sedan chair and conveyed this meaning to Yao Fuzun. Shuai Jiamo, who had a meal in the government hall for the first time in his life, only felt a thousand tastes in his heart.
His ancestral home is not She County, but he just lived in She County with his father who served in Xin'anwei for decades. He has been working for so long for the villagers who are not villagers, and now he has finally been able to end his hardships. God is still fair!
When he left the government office and went back with the sedan again, Xue Chao asked sincerely: "Mr. Shuai is going to Wang's house on the back street of the county to meet Mr. Wang?"
Shuai Jiamo's face froze. Thinking of Master Liu's previous message saying that Wang Fulin should slow down, thinking of the message from Mr. Shen when he set out from Xuancheng, thinking of not seeing Wang Fulin when he entered the city today... He suddenly felt very uncomfortable. Just because when he was in the She County class room, he had always believed in the other party very much. Now, thinking about it again, maybe the various crises and even murderous intents encountered on the snowy night were just a scene for the other party? He smiled indifferently, and finally said lightly: "I won't go, I'll go home."
What Xue Chao wanted to hear the most was this sentence. He immediately ordered the four people to carry Shuai Jiamo home without saying a word. Shuai Jiamo was even more flattered for such courtesy. When he returned to the doorstep, he saw the newly painted walls and saw his wife and children wearing new clothes coming out to greet him. He threw all the remaining doubts out of the sky.
The government and the people are on his side, what else can he worry about?
However, the people in She County were towards Shuai Jiamo, and the other five counties were different. Shuai Jiamo was so powerful that she returned home in glory, and Cheng Wenlie gathered many people to instigate them. The five counties started to make trouble, including Wuyuan and Xiuning. Because of the rumors, when the government office was inciting the debate, She County pointed out that Xiuning and Wuyuan Fushu were directly chasing She County, and should have more burdens. So, a large group of villagers were incited and knelt in front of Wuyuan County, and naturally alarmed the county magistrate Wu Guan.
After thinking about it, Cheng Wenlie and others did not make any trouble in other places, so they used this trick to force the palace. Amid the tears of many old villagers, Wu Yuan's magistrate Wu Guan's face became more and more gloomy. In the end, he heard the voices asking him to go to the government office to submit letters of the people, and petitioning not to change the ancestors' law. How could he refuse to let go of the people who have been loved by the people for four years? What's more, in the face of such a surging people's sentiment, he knew that if he used force to suppress the people, he would probably cause trouble. Therefore, he had to agree to go to the Huizhou government office to express his feelings in person, which allowed the villagers to disperse.
Early the next morning, the magistrate of Wuyuan County brought an old servant and four carefully selected county government officials and civilians immediately set off for Fucheng. When he walked, several scholars who planned the previous petition to block the county government were immediately praised. You know, Huizhou has one prefecture and six counties, She County is indeed affiliated with Guofucheng, while Xiuning and Jixi are only fifty or sixty miles away from Fucheng, 160 miles away from Fucheng, and Wuyuan is exactly the farthest from Fucheng, and it takes 270 miles a day, and more than 500 miles a day to travel. Even if you use the post station to travel, ordinary people will reach the sky for 120 miles a day, and it will take at least four or five days to go back and forth!
For Huizhou Prefecture, which has no emergency military information, the horses in the post station are seriously lost and cannot go so fast. Therefore, more time can be relaxed, which is enough for them to do things!
So, the day after Wu Guan rushed to the city, a large number of villagers surrounded Wuyuan County. Yu County Magistrate, who was temporarily in charge of the county magistrate's affairs, brought Cheng Dehuan, the clerk of the household magistrate, and the second-rank officer of the household magistrate, personally came out to appease him. However, the second-rank officers of the past few years had little face and had no real power. Yu County Magistrate could not bear the noble prestige of the county magistrate Wu Guan in the folk. He was just a prison student and was not good at speaking. In a few seconds, he was questioned by a lawsuit among the people. Seeing that the situation was not good, Cheng Dehuan quickly scolded him a few words, but before he could secretly instruct someone to call the three squads of the crew to come out to suppress it, the incident happened.
"The Wuxian Zun is not going to the government office for our Wuyuan people to express his feelings. He has been in Wuyuan for four years. Now the adults above are leaning towards Shexian. They want to take this opportunity to transfer him elsewhere!"
"These officials are used to lie. County Magistrate Yu sold our Wuyuan people to be the county magistrate!"
"Cheng Dehuan colluded with the She people and tampered with the yellow list of taxes and services in our Wuyuan!"
As the messy voices came from the crowd, County Magistrate Yu was in a mess and could not speak. He turned around and ran to the county hall. This move was usually regarded as timid and scared, but now it became a sign of guilt. Cheng Dehuan had no time to say a word, and was tied to the ground and beaten up. As for the door that he wanted to block or other officers, facing the surging crowd, they were all unable to form a formation, and they didn't know how many punches he had been beaten.
In one day, Wuyuan was in chaos!
