Chapter 13 Intensifying Contradictions
After everyone stood up and stood up, Lu Haoshan said proudly: "I was promoted to the hall just to get to know each other and to show sincerity, so I would like to introduce myself first. My name is Lu, his name is Wenhua, and his courtesy name is Haoshan. He was a Jinshi in the sixth year of Tianqi. He was loved by the emperor and was appointed as the magistrate of Jiangyou County. I hope you can help more."
The name cannot be changed. The office document stated that it was Lu Wenhua, and Lu Haoshan had no choice. Fortunately, he didn't have to change his surname and forget his roots. In ancient times, people with status all had the word "大大". In order to respect others, they usually called the word "大大大" instead of calling him the name directly. With that group of bandits as a cover, they did not have to take the charge of murderer and turned their name into "大大" which was the best of both worlds. As for the Jinshi in the sixth year of the Tianqi period, it was the honor of that unlucky guy.
What a great Guan Wei, Chen Gui, who was standing in the hall, sneered in his heart, and looked down on Lu Haoshan sitting in the hall. You must know that mutual understanding usually happens in relaxed occasions such as banquets, which can easily promote feelings and bring them closer together. However, the new county magistrate is arrogant, as if showing off his glorious deeds. While pulling a long distance, it also makes people feel a bad impression of him that he is arrogant and ignorant.
It is soft and tough, hard and easy to fold. This "chicken" that has just come out of the hard window is best dealt with.
"The adults are very knowledgeable, and the emperor admires him." Chen Gui quickly flattered: "The surname is Chen, Minggui, and he holds the position of county magistrate. Before the adults take office, he temporarily takes office as county magistrate. He also asks the adults to supervise more."
Lu Haoshan said without changing his expression: "Well, as long as you have real talents and knowledge, you are not a flatterer, but I will use it by measuring people."
"Sir Xie."
If it were a Shangguan who knew a little about human nature, he would definitely praise him. After all, there would be hard work without credit. Before he could gain a firm foothold, a shrewd person would win over his subordinates. The new county magistrate in the hall regarded himself very highly and seemed to look down on everyone. In the public's eyes, it can be said that he did not give any face to the county magistrate Chen Gui. Everyone had an idea in their hearts: this person was either very tough in the background or the kind of extremely ignorant and pedantic person.
"Chief Zhang Yunhui, pay tribute to the Lord."
"The little Cao Hu is appointed as the head-in-chief."
"Zhou Dayuan, the official of the Household Office, pay homage to the Lord."
"Jianghua Postmaster Zhao Gao, pay homage to the Lord."
.........
This is not a case trial, but a "paiya", or a more appropriate description is used as a "dianmao", from the county magistrate and chief clerk, they introduce themselves one by one, and then the six-house officials, chief officers, tax supervisors, post chiefs, etc., even coachmen and cooks are no exception. Anyway, those who serve this bowl of public food have to show their presence in front of the new county magistrate to show their existence. It took dozens of people a full half an hour before the introduction was completed.
After the introduction of the person, many people felt sore and back pain, but the newly appointed county magistrate seemed to have not yet fulfilled his official desires. When others stood, he sat alone, slapped the auspicious wood and said a large number of loyal and patriotic Analects of Confucius. The mouth was flying in the hall, but the pain was in the hall. People like Cao Hu who used force to Kong Wu felt a little sore. After all, after standing for nearly an hour, it was not easy to change to any one. The worst was the county magistrate Chen Gui, whose face was so sad that he was bitter.
First, when he is older, his health is not as good as before. Second, there is a saying that he is rich and weak. The Chen family is a wealthy family in Jiangyou. Chen Gui is also a county magistrate. In addition, he has seven beautiful concubines in his family. He hollowed out his body early, his kidney function becomes worse, and he can't hold back his urine. The feeling of his bladder being full and he is about to urinate, but he just forced himself to hold back in the hall. After all, the new county master was promoted to the hall for the first time and there is no accident. He has to give this face. If he thinks that he is in poor health and is not suitable for important positions, it would be miserable.
Besides, before he could figure out his background, he didn't dare to go too far on the surface. If Lu Haoshan looked carefully, he would see Chen Gui clamping his legs tightly and his feet were trembling.
Chen Gui was so worried that he was about to cry. It was not because he was concerned about the consequences. Chen Gui really wanted to seal the endless mouth in the hall with mud.
"Okay, let's go, you have to work harder tomorrow." Finally, Lu Haoshan in the hall finally finished speaking. This sentence was like the sound of nature in Chen Gui's ears. He thanked the county master with everyone. As soon as Lu Haoshan left his front leg, Chen Gui rushed out quickly, walking with the wind, which attracted two people who didn't know the inside story to praise him: "The county magistrate is strong and strong, and he is really not old." The words made Chen Gui so embarrassed that he almost vomited blood.
As soon as he ran to the cottage, he took off his pants and was impatient, as if he was in a hurry, as if he was missing a river. Chen Gui was so happy that he couldn't help but snorted, closed his eyes and looked like he was enjoying himself. He shook his whole body twice when he arrived at the back, as if he had finished sprinting on the graceful body of the newly-acquired concubine. But when he tied his clothes, his face immediately stretched out: he was so anxious that he wet his pants just now, as if a child was peeing at night. If Lu Haoshan trained for another quarter of an hour, he might have really peed his pants.
"This yellow-haired boy is so angry." Chen Gui was so angry that he glared at him and couldn't help but curse.
If this matter is to be spread, I am afraid it will become a laughing stock for the people of Jiangyou County after dinner.
Unexpectedly, some things went against their wishes. Chen Gui didn't want others to know, but as soon as he went out, he immediately surrounded a large group of people:
"grown ups"
"grown ups"
"Brother Chen"
Several leaders who had been made usually surrounded him, greeting him while surrounding him.
"What, it hasn't dispersed yet?" Chen Gui said in surprise.
Cao Hu said with an unhappy look: "Brother Chen, this new county magistrate is really arrogant. He kindly invites him to dinner and welcomes him, but he pretends to be noble and does not give us any face. You can't just forget about this."
"Captain Cao is right," Zhang Yunhui said lightly: "Mr. County Master is just starting out and young and energetic. If he is obeying everything, I am afraid that Jiangyou County will not have a peaceful time. He threatened in the hall that the incompetent person will be dismissed. This will definitely shake the morale of the army. He cannot let him make such a fool of himself and destroy the stability here."
Tang Zichuo, the workplace officer, nodded and said, "I'll give us a warning. We can't take it lightly. We can get rid of others today and we can sweep us out of the yamen tomorrow. Everyone, we must unite."
Everyone was talking about it, with only one goal, to make Chen Gui make up his mind and fight back against this ignorant new county magistrate.
In fact, it was not only Chen Gui, but others saw that the new county magistrate was not satisfied. On the one hand, they did not appease the people's hearts, but were eager to establish their authority. They seemed to have to hold up the butcher knife high. Everyone was in danger for a while, so everyone did not leave after the meeting, but instead asked Chen Gui to discuss countermeasures.
"I wanted to observe for a while before taking action, but this Lu surnamed first attacked. We can't wait to die. This is the county government, and it is inconvenient to speak. Let's do this. We are still preparing a reception banquet for Lu surnamed Lu. He doesn't eat it. Don't waste it. Let's go to Yingbin Building and discuss while eating."
"Okay, listen to Brother Chen"
"It's still thoughtful"
"It's true, my stomach is so hungry that I'm rumbled."
"Everything will be based on what the Lord said."
Everyone came, but they were really hungry. They all agreed and applauded when they heard this, so they surrounded Chen Gui and walked out. Just as they were about to leave, Cao Hu suddenly moved his nose, took a breath twice, frowned and said, "Grandma, where did the smell come from?"
It's okay if you don't say it. When Chen Gui's face, which was originally a little proud, suddenly turned long and frosty. Zhang Yunhui, who was beside him, saw it clearly and slapped Cao Hu's head and said unhappily: "This is a cottage, so it smells bad. Let's go. If you have delicious food and drink, you can't block your mouth?"
"Yes, yes, yes, Brother Chen, Lord Zhang, please ask first."
When Chen Gui and his group went to Yingbin Building to discuss countermeasures, Lu Haoshan, who had changed into casual clothes, sat at an Eight Immortals table, eating the snacks delivered by the chef and savoring the Longjing in front of the Rain that had just been soaked, which was very satisfying.
Wu Jinzhu, who was next to "Brother Shan", suddenly said.
"Well, what's wrong?"
Wu Jinzhu said carefully: "Brother Shan deliberately angered them just now. Wouldn't it be bad if this is not good?"
Little knowledge does not mean that he is stupid or not smart. Wu Jinzhu could see that Lu Haoshan was deliberately intensifying the conflict between him and the local forces led by Chen Gui, which made him a little puzzled. Isn’t this intentional discomfort for himself? Especially when his foundation is not stable or even has no foundation, it is definitely not a wise move. Although he knew that Lu Haoshan was unwilling to be merciless, he thought that Brother Shan would slowly look for opportunities and defeat them one by one, and finally hold power. However, he never expected that Lu Haoshan would take action as soon as he met.
When Lu Haoshan heard this, he gently put down his teacup, looked at the broken window paper whispered by the night breeze, and said to himself with some emotion: "There is not much time left."
A combat-capable army has been tempered and grown from battles and came out of the sea of blood. It was not brought together. Like the powerful figures in the late Ming Dynasty, they have embarked on their own journey and reaped the joy of success. However, Lu Haoshan has not had a single soldier under his command, so how can he not be anxious?
It can be seen that old foxes like Chen Gui will not take action rashly. With their official personalities, they must have observed that they will attack again for a while. Lu Haoshan is too lazy to slowly get rid of them and deliberately intensify the conflict. Of course, this can be regarded as intentional weakness, exposing their "weaknesses", and allowing them to speed up the suppression of themselves. Only when they relax can they free up their hands to bring them down one by one and defeat them.
